Royal road

It rained heavily last night, water accumulated in many places in the palace, and two roof tiles fell off. Someone cleaned the palace early in the morning and repaired the damage.Standing with his hands behind his back under the corridor, Liu Yuan stared at the palace people running around.

Growing up in Luoyang, the capital of the kingdom, he had seen the prosperity of the capital of the world when the Jin Kingdom was at its peak.Twelve city gates are opened, leading to Luoshui and Gushui. The avenue running from east to west is [-] feet wide. Tongluo Street, which is full of government offices and luxurious houses, is also [-] to [-] feet wide.Standing in Luoyang City is like standing in the heart of a great dynasty, full of passion can be gushed out.

Because of this passion, he almost died there, and was feared by the supreme emperor.Thanks to the help of Wang Hun and others, they escaped unharmed just now.Later, Empress Jia usurped power and the court was in turmoil. He left Luoyang and joined the King of Chengdu. He worshiped General Ningshuo and supervised the five military departments.

He also saw Yedu, which was not inferior to Luoyang Palace City.There are three platforms in Ye, Tongque, Jinhu, and Bingshi, all ten feet high, connected by pavilions and roads.On the east and west sides, there are also three gardens of Xuanwu, Fanglin and Ganoderma lucidum, where you can travel with your officials.Zuo Si's "Wei Du Fu" is rich in rhetoric and magnificent, but it can't fully show the spirit of this great city.

Two capitals took him nearly forty years.Returning to my hometown, I have reached the age of knowing my destiny.

Now, he is living in the original county prince's mansion of Xihe Kingdom, which is neither as grand as Luoyang palace city nor as gorgeous as Yecheng palace city, nor even comparable to the vast mansions and deep houses of those aristocratic families.Such dilapidated royal palaces are the most comfortable place for him to live.

He is no longer the proton of the Xiongnu, no longer the general of the Jin State, he is the lord of the Han State, and one day he will ascend the throne of the Son of Heaven.He has endured it for so many years, so why not endure it for a while longer?

A servant passed through the corridor, walked quickly to Liu Yuan, and said: "Your Majesty, there is news from Daijun. Tuoba Yiyi is seriously ill, Suotou may cause civil strife!"

This Xianbei team was commanded by three brothers. Tuoba Yiyi was extremely brave and talented, and his son was even more outstanding.However, similar to other nomadic tribes, if the chief dies, there will be commotion in the tribe.Between brothers, uncles and nephews will fight desperately.

Therefore, even if Ai Jiang was beheaded, or even made him abandon the palace for a while and flee to Puzi, Liu Yuan could not be disturbed at all.Because he knew that he would eventually return to this new capital, and step by step cut off the Jin army and seize the world.This is the destiny!

Provoking the corners of his mouth, Liu Yuan said: "Order all the ministries to collect food and grass, and when Tuoba Yiyi dies, send troops to attack Jinyang!"

Sima Teng had just asked for a seal for Tuoba Yiyi, and he was probably still immersed in the illusion that reinforcements would come as soon as they were called.The title of Great Chanyu seems to be a blessing, but it is actually a curse.With a name, there will be ambitions, military disasters, and the already chaotic battle for heirs will be even more unbearable.At that time, there is no time to look around, is there anyone else who can help Sima Teng?

Jinyang, and even Bingzhou, will be the first place where he rides his horse to level the ground!

No longer looking at those busy palace people, Liu Yuan turned around and strode towards the palace.

■

The sound of cicadas, the scorching sun.Standing in the cool shade of the courtyard, beads of sweat still dripped from his head.Liang Rong gritted his teeth and controlled his arm vigorously, trying to support the object in his hand more stably.

Beside him, a calm voice sounded: "Raise your arms high, and keep your eyes on the bull's-eye."

Hearing this, Liang Rong pursed his lips even tighter, and regardless of his trembling arms and sweat-soaked clothes, he tried hard to pull the bow more firmly.However, he is too young, even if it is a small soft bow, it is a great burden to draw the bow for a long time.He only heard a "bang", and the bowstring bounced out. It may be that the rebound was too strong, and he didn't hold it firmly. The small bow came out of his hand and fell to the ground.

His face turned red, but before he could pick it up, the man beside him bent down and took the bow in his hand.

"You have to be decisive when you draw the bow. You can't loosen it, you can't pass it. Once you draw it to the position, you can't change it. Arm strength can be practiced, but the posture must always be correct." Yiyan said, suddenly opened the bow and set the arrow, only to hear the sound of strings , an arrow nailed to the bullseye not far away.

This movement was as fast as a thunderbolt, which was astounding.Liang Rong swallowed, and withdrew his envious eyes: "I want to try again!"

Since a month ago, it has entered the busy season of farming.Winter wheat is harvested, summer grain is sown, and locust catching campaigns are being carried out in various places.Everyone fell into busy work, even the soldiers had to give leave to participate in the summer harvest.As a result, Yi Yan, the school official, felt relieved.

This is no longer the time when he had to lead the harvesting team last year. When the status increases, there will be fewer chores.So Yiyan stayed in the prefect's mansion, besides defending Lucheng, he also served as Liang Rong's bow and arrow teacher.

Unlike other soldiers who respected "Master Rong" and "Xiao Langjun", Yiyan's teaching method can be called ruthless, and he didn't hold back at all.Being taught by such a teacher, Liang Rong also held his breath in his heart. Even if his arms were sore and he couldn't hold a pen, he would not slack off. It was just like competing.After practicing so hard, this little guy's archery has gradually taken shape.

Seeing Liang Rong draw the bowstring again, Yiyan didn't say anything, just stared at his posture with his hands behind his back.At this moment, a voice came from behind the two of them: "Rong'er, how are you doing?"

"Father, are you in the Yamen?" Liang Rong didn't care about archery anymore. He immediately turned around and ran all the way to Liang Feng's side. "I've been practicing for a quarter of an hour!"

Taking the handkerchief from Lv Zhu, Liang Feng wiped the little thing's face himself: "Practice three nines in winter and three days in summer, Rong'er works hard, it's worthy of praise."

This is what Liang Rong likes to hear the most!With joy bursting out of Wu Liuliu's eyes, Liang Rong said, "I'll show my father the arrow!"

Liang Feng rubbed the other party's sweaty hair: "We will wait and see for my father."

With this encouragement, Liang Rong took a deep breath and walked up to the target. Regardless of the soreness in his arm, he suddenly pulled the bowstring and shot the arrow.The target was very close, and the arrow landed on the target accurately. Although it missed the heart, it was still within the inner circle.

"Rong'er's archery skills have really improved!" Liang Feng applauded with great pride.

"Father is coming too!" Liang Rong turned his head and said to Liang Feng.

These days, Liang Feng is also practicing archery.After all, he had practiced shooting, so he learned it quickly.However, what troubled Liang Feng was not the archery itself, but the vision problem.

After receiving the soft bow from Yi Yan, Liang Feng exhaled lightly, and with a sudden force of his arm, he pulled the bowstring.This appearance immediately made Liang Rong's eyes shine.In his eyes, no one can match my father no matter in terms of momentum or appearance!

However, the action of drawing the bow is standard, and when the arrow is actually shot, the aim is a bit shabby.The arrow nailed into the wood was only a little bit stronger than Liang Rong.Liang Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, and sighed softly: "It's really not a fixed target."

I don't know if it's because of reading damage to the eyes, or the loss of vision caused by heavy metal poisoning. Liang Feng really can't see the target clearly. It's still close. If you get a target from the school field, it's not certain whether you can shoot into the inner circle. .

"Don't worry, my lord." On the side, Yiyan said, "Sometimes you don't need your eyes when you shoot an arrow, you just need to aim with your heart. If you turn your mind as you like, you will naturally be able to hit every shot. In my clan, there are archers with white eyes. Raise the bow, still hit the target with every shot."

Liang Feng quite agrees with this statement.In shooting competitions, considering the distance and target size, some ten rings are not as big as a grain of rice.In ancient times, the so-called hundred-step piercing was to shoot small willow leaves 150 meters away. How many people can really see the red mark?It's more about aiming with awareness and physical senses.

It is precisely because of this understanding that Liang Feng is also consciously practicing shooting moving targets.The aim of fixing the target is probably to rely on practice to make perfect.

Handing the bow to Yiyan, Liang Feng said: "Change to a crossbow, I'll try again."

Yiyan immediately picked up a bow from the side, and after three strokes, five divisions and two, he installed the crossbow arm and crossbow trigger.Just in the blink of an eye, a bow turned into a crossbow, which is amazing.What Liang Feng loves most is this kind of loading and unloading action.Just like the disassembly and assembly of guns in later generations, there is a rhythmic beauty.

After receiving the crossbow, Liang Feng raised his hands horizontally, aimed at the bull's-eye with Wangshan, lightly pressed down on the hanging knife, and the crossbow shot out!With a bang, it was nailed into the red heart!

"Father is mighty!" Liang Rong couldn't help calling out.

Liang Feng sneered, and put down his crossbow: "If you increase your arm strength, maybe it will be more accurate."

Just like holding a gun, the more stable the hand, the more accurate the shot.The bow and arrow involve the strength of the whole body, just like the soft bow used by children, Yiyan can draw it just right in an instant, without breaking the bowstring or missing the target.This is the most exquisite body control, whether it is a three-stone strong bow or a half-stone soft bow, it makes no difference to him.

In the face of such a delicate body, it would be a lie to say that he is not jealous.Liang Feng asked himself, he might not be able to reach such a level in his heyday.His fighting spirit is used to punish evil and promote good, while Yiyan's is used to kill people.Such subtle differences constitute a world of difference.

As if being stung by Liang Feng's gaze, Yiyan lowered his gaze: "My lord has a talent bestowed by heaven, if he is in good health, he will be able to hit a hundred shots."

This is not a compliment.Yiyan is well aware of the talents of the people in front of him, just like the group of brave men who can attack a city, they are all trained according to the Lord's idea.Even the methods of physical training in the army, as well as the martial arts and methods of defeating the enemy that I have learned, are all passed down by the lord.If he was in better health, he should also be able to become a famous general who commands thousands of people.

Similarly, only such reverence and admiration can make him suppress the desperate thoughts in his heart.

Hearing this, Liang Feng couldn't help laughing: "It seems that I will travel far and wide to keep fit."

These days, Liang Feng began to deliberately strengthen his exercise, starting with the most basic mountain climbing and walking.It happened that Ge Hong also moved back to the mountains, which was an excuse for exercising.When his body gets better, he should be able to add jogging and some basic physical exercises, not to mention the eight-pack abs, at least he can cover his ribs.

But thinking of this, Liang Feng couldn't help but think of Wang Wen's letter.Although I replied that I am currently in poor health, I am afraid I cannot accept the marriage contract.Wang Wen still said generously that this matter is not urgent, and we will wait for the niece Jiji to discuss it.Duan Qin and Cui Ji hinted at this obvious gesture of favor, but Liang Feng did not tell anyone else about it.He hasn't made up his mind yet.

Looking down at the little guy with twinkling eyes and eyes full of admiration, Liang Feng sighed in his heart.I don't know if looking for a stepmother will make Rong'er sad.If it can be delayed, let's delay it for a while.

But soon, another news came from Jinyang.

After the summer harvest, the Huns marched out together.Tuoba Yiyi died of illness suddenly, Sima Teng failed to borrow Xianbei cavalry.Bingzhou, another military disaster.
