Chapter 099 Picnic
readx;
Liu Ling survived in a desperate situation.
I thought I would lose a lot, but I didn't know how to raise the huge sum of 1,500 and 600 gold, but because of Liang Xiao's extraordinary performance under heavy pressure, he reversed and won more than 300 gold. She was very excited and even a little excited. She sent someone to buy a lot of wine and meat, and summoned the chef from Huainan Palace, and held a flowing mat and an open-air dinner next to the water to have fun with the people.
The food in the Han Dynasty was very different from later generations, and frying and grilling accounted for a large proportion. A barbecue grill was set up under the shade of the tree, and more than a dozen chefs stood in a row, and the barbecue conference was successfully held. Most of the people who came to visit would carry seats. At this moment, they gathered from all directions, each looking for an open space to sit down, and took the free wine and meat, drank wine and ate meat in big mouthfuls. After a while, someone began to sing loudly.
As the singing sounded, someone danced gracefully. Men, women, young and old all danced happily. The melodious singing mixed with the fragrance of meat and wine floated on both sides of the river and drifted into Chang'an City.
An unexpected carnival kicked off.
Liang Xiao is a hero, so naturally he cannot be ignored. The Li brothers are also important guests. If it were not for Li Jiao's oppression and concise, Liang Xiao's performance today would not be so eye-catching. There are only a limited number of people who know about the competition in Weiyanglang. Because of the issue of fame, Weiyanglang and others would not have spread on their own initiative. This competition was in full view of the public, and it was such a wonderful confrontation. I believe it will spread throughout Chang'an City soon.
Even if Liang Xiao doesn't want to become famous, it won't work.
In addition to comparing arrows, the gambling game set up by Liu Ling also contributed to the fire. She claimed in public that Liang Xiao had rejected the Zhao Pi of the Huainan Prince's Mansion, and removed Liang Xiao's heart disease, and Liang Xiao could get along with her on the same level from now on. Even Dongfang Shuo put down his burden and sang without any grudges, which was even more crazy than ordinary people.
Li Jiao lost a green horse and was reluctant to leave. However, he did not mind that. He deeply admired Liang Xiao's ability to bear pressure, even surpassing Liang Xiao's shooting skills.
"A Xiao, you are a natural shooter." Li Jiao held a wine glass with one hand and put the other on Liang Xiao's shoulder, with his tongue a little big. Perhaps it was because he lost his beloved Qingshenma, he was too sad, and he drank a lot of wine. "The more nervous he is, the more courageous he is. It would be a pity for someone like you to not go to the battlefield."
"Shame." Liang Xiao pushed Li Jiao away without hesitation. Li Jiao was too intimate and he was not used to it.
"It's a pity that you were not born in Emperor Gao, otherwise..." Li Jiao followed him relentlessly and hugged Liang Xiao's neck hard. "The Wanhu Hou is insignificant."
Liang Xiao felt familiar when he heard this. It seemed that Emperor Wen of Han talked about Li Guang in history, but he didn't expect Li Jiao to use it on him.
"Why did Brother Li say that? The four sides have not yet settled and the Huns have not yet been settled. You and I have more chances to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions."
"Hehe, the court practices Huang Lao's art, guarding the border with defense is the main focus. If the enemy comes, it will be rejected, and if the enemy leaves, it will be allowed. How can there be any chance to make meritorious contributions? Can you be granted a marquis by ambushing a few Huns? You can't even get a marquis."
Li Jiao raised his wine glass, took a big sip of wine, and glanced at Liu Ling in the distance. "Hehe, it's right for you not to go to Huainan. The best way for the King of Huainan is Huang Lao's way, quiet and inaction. When you arrive in Huainan, you will have no chance to make contributions. Does Nanyue dare to attack Jianghuai? Ha!"
Liang Xiao didn't say anything. At present, the Empress Dowager Dou was still alive, and Huang Lao was still very popular. Even the young emperor Liu Che was suppressed, and the others were unable to help. However, he had no idea about Huang Lao's way, and he had a lot of complaints about Emperor Wu of Han abandoning Huang Lao's way and changing his career to respect Confucianism, but now he had a different view.
From the Hu family and other powerful people who have been rampant in the village to the marriage of the Huns, these are all the consequences of the policy of Huang-Lao. It is said that they are resting with the people, but in fact, the powerful people like the Hu family have grown up. Ordinary people like the Tu family have gone bankrupt on a large scale and the foundation of the small peasant economy has been destroyed. If the policy is not changed and the implementation of Huang-Lao's Way is probably unsustainable.
In this way, Huang Lao abdicated and Confucianism came to the stage, which was also a historical trend? However, this trend was a bit off-the-scenes, and finally pushed the Han Dynasty into the abyss and left China with uncurable sequelae.
What can I do? Liang Xiao was in a daze.
"What are you thinking?" Liu Ling walked over with a wine pot in one hand and a few skewers of meat in the other. Today is a picnic, and there is not so much etiquette. She also rolled up her sleeves and drank and skewers like ordinary people. She sat down next to Liang Xiao and handed Liang Xiao a skewer of meat. "Li Jiao was sneaky just now. Did you say that I was from Huainan again?"
"A lot of people say Huainan, right?"
"The world is full of praise and slander. These martial artists have complaints about my father, and it is not the first day I know."
"Why?"
"Why? Of course it hinders them from making meritorious contributions. As for warriors, of course they hope that the world will be in chaos and wars every day. But I don't know that once the war begins, I don't know how many people will suffer. Isn't the peaceful and prosperous era nowadays just because of decades of rest and recuperation, and there is no major war?"
"Mr. Weng is right. Once the war begins, all prosperity will be like a ball of fire and will burn completely in a moment."
Liu Ling glanced at Liang Xiao and hit him with his shoulder. "I didn't expect you to use the Spring and Autumn style, was it Dongfang Shuo taught?"
"No, I was just inspired by the Lord and was inspired by the old man. " Liang Xiao took a bite of the meat and chewed it slowly. "If you want peace, you must not only not cause civil strife, but also have to work together to defend against foreign enemies. If something like the Huns invaded Chang'an again occurs, it would be terrible. If even a dignified country cannot guarantee safety, how will the people on the border fail to protect their lives and live a life rather than death?"
"Then what you mean is to fight? Don't you know that even if the country is big, it will perish if it is wary..."
"Although the world is safe, forgetting the battle will lead to danger!"
"Uh..." Liu Ling choked by him and didn't say anything for a long time. After a while, she smiled and said, "It seems that Huan Xuanbo has really taught you a lot of things. Not only "The Art of War" but also "Sima Fa".
"Is this "Sima Fa"?" Liang Xiao was surprised.
"you do not know?"
"I read a little, but I don't know what "Sima Fa" is." Liang Xiao hurriedly concealed. He often heard people say this, but it was the first time he knew that this sentence came from "Sima Fa". What is "Sima Fa"? "But occasionally I heard the master say a few words, but I don't know the details."
"You, I'm still studying too little." Liu Ling thought for a while and suddenly said, "How about this, I'll teach you how to read."
"You teach me how to read?"
"Yes, I have a lot of books in Huainan. In the internal and external chapters compiled by my father, there is also a volume of military training, which I can teach you orally."
Liang Xiao was a little hesitant. He was not very interested in the books compiled by Liu An, the King of Huainan. He always felt that they were just like patchwork clothes. They seemed to be all-encompassing, but in fact they didn’t have much practical information. In order to learn military tactics, Huan Yuan had already taught him enough, let alone the unknown military tactics.
Thinking of the unknown military tactics, Liang Xiao suddenly felt that he could ask Liu Ling. She was knowledgeable and could even memorize the training of soldiers. Maybe she had seen this military tactics and knew her debut. As soon as he said to Liu Ling, Liu Ling happily agreed. As soon as Liang Xiao recited a few words, Liu Ling raised his hand to stop him, with a strange smile in his eyes.
"You don't have to recite it anymore. I know whose military strategy is this."
