Training in Hidden Saint Mountain
At that time, the world was in turmoil and the people were in dire straits. Emperor Taizong followed the emperor's teacher, the Great Immortal Ci, to the Holy Mountain in Hebei Province. He studied hard all day long and practiced superb martial arts for months. This was an indelible solid foundation for the emperor to conquer the battlefield in the future.
----Records of the Historian: Chronicles of Taizong and Wu Jun
Under the leadership of his master Zuo Ci, Wu Jun bid farewell to his parents, Uncle Da, and Xiu 'er. He reluctantly whipped his horse and left Lujiang, heading toward Hebei. After passing Shouchun and Chenliu along the way, they went straight to Guandu, the ferry crossing of the Yellow River. Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar place name, Wu Jun could not help but feel extremely moved. It was familiar because in his previous life, be it in the history textbooks of middle school or the military textbooks of the Central Military University, the history teachers and military professors had mentioned this place countless times. This was because in 200 AD, Chen Lin wrote the denunciation of Cao Cao and the Battle of Guandu began. In October, Cao Cao launched a sneak attack on Wuchao. In 201, he won the Battle of Guandu. The Battle of Guandu was one of the few famous military battles in the history of the Celestial Empire. It was unfamiliar because it was the first time Wu Jun had truly stood at Guandu Ferry and felt its thick and strong aura.
Looking at the rolling Yellow River, Wu Jun felt the insignificance of humans for the first time. He could not help but say to the surging water,"The rolling Yellow River flows eastward, and the waves wash away the heroes! Whether it was right or wrong, success or failure, everything was gone. The green mountains were still there, and the sunset was red. White-haired fisherman and woodcutter on the river island, used to see the autumn moon and spring breeze, a pot of turbid wine happy to meet. How many things have happened since ancient times, they are all handed over to laughter and talk.”After his master Hua Tuo heard this, he couldn't help but praise," Jun 'er is really smart! It seems that this old man's judgment was not wrong. I took in the right disciple.
After Wu Jun and his disciple crossed the Yellow River, they passed through Ye City, Wei County, and Handan before arriving at Zuo Ci's sect's Holy Mountain.
The Holy Mountain was located in the area of the current Taihang Mountains. Looking at the towering mountains, lush trees, and rising fog, Wu Jun felt a trace of immortal aura and holiness. "Master, is this the sect's sacred mountain?”"That's right. The sect is located on the highest peak of the Holy Mountain, the Purple Cloud Peak.”After about four hours, when Wu Jun and his disciple climbed to the Purple Cloud Peak, Wu Jun saw the two large characters "Pill Cauldron" from afar. The mountain gate stood majestically and majestically. The two towering trees on both sides were like loyal guards, guarding this holy paradise for many years.
"Master, is this the gate of our Pill Cauldron Sect? It's really majestic and imposing!" Wu Jun could not help but be attracted by the beautiful and imposing scenery around him. He could not help but turn his head and ask Zuo Ci.
"That's right! This is our home! In the next few years, we master and disciple will have to live here well.”Zuo Ci explained to his beloved disciple with a benevolent expression. According to Zuo Ci's introduction, Danding Sect was founded during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period by a sage named Li Er, who was known as " Lao Zi " by later generations. It had a history of several hundred years. His master, Zuo Ci, was the sixteenth generation sect master of Danding Sect.
One morning after he and his master, Zuo Ci, came to the Danding Sect of the Holy Mountain to rest for a few days, Wu Jun had just woken up to practice the sword technique that his uncle, Wu Zilan, had taught him. Before he could rest, Wu Jun was called to his master's study by a child."Junior Martial Brother Wu, Sect Master Shibo invites you!”"Thank you, Senior Brother Ye! Please go first, I'll be there soon.”A few days ago, Wu Jun learned from his master that this child's surname was Ye.
After Wu Jun washed his face, he went to his master's study. When he saw his master finish reading, he greeted him politely,"Master, good morning!"
"Jun 'er, from today onwards, I will teach you the' King's Art'. The so-called King's Arts referred to the art of controlling momentum, the art of civil and military, and the art of generals.”Zuo Ci went straight to the point when he saw Jun 'er enter the study room and let him sit down.
"Master, what is the Art of Force Manipulation?" When Wu Jun heard this, he immediately became extremely interested.
" The so-called art of controlling power is that the times create heroes. Many heroes in history, such as the various overlords during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, as well as Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, mostly emerged in a turbulent and chaotic time. They took advantage of the situation and made great achievements. The other side of the art of controlling momentum was that heroes created the situation. The so-called heroes created the current situation, which meant that when the environment and the current situation were extremely unfavorable to them, the heroes themselves created their own forces and expanded their influence on the surrounding environment and the people. These heroes were like Qin Shihuang, Xiang Yu, the overlord of the Western Chu, and so on.
And the highest realm of the art of controlling the situation was that the situation was me, and I was the situation! Jun 'er, you must remember that only by being the master of the times and not a slave can you be invincible forever! A wise ruler was not only the master of the times, but also knew how to balance the forces of all parties, balance the forces between the officials, and use all kinds of forces for his own use. This was the art of balance. Do you remember it?"
"Disciple Wu Jun will remember Master's teachings! Master's words, I finally understand the meaning of the words of the master, the master
"In the art of civil and martial arts, literature comes before martial arts, and martial arts is the complement of literature! A great monarch must know both the ways of literature and martial arts. In peaceful times, kings tended to place more emphasis on literary talent. In an era of unrest, if a ruler did not want to be slaughtered, he must have literary and military strategies! The art of civil and military affairs is relaxed and relaxed. Wen can not be maintained for a long time, Wu can not be used for a long time! The art of civil and martial arts, the art of literature and the art of martial arts included understanding the art of war and strategies, as well as brave and superb martial arts. The art of war is just like what you said,'like the famous generals from ancient times to the present, such as Wu Qi, Wang Jian, Sun Zi, Sun Bin, and Han Xin, who can turn the clouds and rain with a flip of their hands on the battlefield, winning without fighting, and defeating everything!'; With superb martial arts, one could sweep across the battlefield and take the heads of enemy generals as easily as taking them out of a bag.”
"Jun 'er, take it. This was the sect's treasure, Sun Tzu's Art of War. It was given to the grandmaster by Mr. Gui Gu, the best friend of the founder of the sect, Li Er, during the Warring States Period. Only the direct disciples of the sect master were qualified to read it. From today onwards, I will teach you military tactics in the morning and martial arts in the afternoon.”
"I will follow Master's instructions! I will definitely study Sun Tzu's Art of War and live up to Master's expectations and cultivation!”When Wu Jun heard that it was actually Sun Tzu's Art of War, and it was even an ancient version of the bamboo slips, he was very excited. Although he had also learned Sun Tzu's Art of War in his later generations, he often used the military ideas in Sun Tzu's Art of War to destroy the enemy in many border anti-terrorism operations.
"Jun 'er, I'll teach you the' General Art'. Generals here didn't just refer to generals, but also strategists and even generals.‘The essence of the Art of Generals was to use people without suspicion and not use people who were suspected. Use talents and make the best use of them! He had to fully excavate the talents and specialties of the civil and military generals and make them serve him to the fullest. "It also involves the Art of Balance, which is to balance the forces between the officials and turn all kinds of forces into my own..."
"Alright, Jun 'er. I'll stop here for the morning. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me tomorrow. You can leave first. I still have to teach you martial arts in the afternoon.”Zuo Ci talked for a long time before he felt that it was about time to stop, so he let Wu Jun return to his room to rest.
"Yes, Master! I'll take my leave. I hope Master can rest early too!”Wu Jun thought that his master might have other things to do, so he retreated to his room to rest.
It was just past midnight in the afternoon. 00-15:00). Wu Jun arrived at Danding Sect's training ground early in the morning. His master, Zuo Ci, arrived shortly after.
"Good afternoon, Master!"
"Jun 'er, tell me, what kind of martial arts do you want to learn the most? Spear arts? Saber techniques? Swordsmanship? Or some other martial arts?" Zuo Ci saw that Wu Jun was dressed like a martial arts student. Even though he was young, he looked decent.
" Master, the martial arts that I want to learn the most is neither spear techniques, nor saber techniques, nor sword techniques," Wu Jun replied seriously." It's halberd techniques!”In the later generations, the general that Wu Jun admired the most was Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu. Xiang Yu's Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd had killed countless heroes of the Qin army. There was also Lu Bu, who had the Heavenly Halberd and was unrivaled in the Three Kingdoms. Then there was the famous general of the Three Kingdoms, Zhao Yun. The famous generals in history, Li Jing, Xue Rengui, and Guo Ziyi, all drew halberds. Therefore, when Wu Jun heard his master's question, he did not hesitate to say what he was thinking.
"Jun 'er, do you really want to learn the halberd technique? The halberd technique was the hardest to learn among all weapons. You have to think carefully. If you want to learn the halberd technique well, you have to put in a hundred times more effort and effort than learning other martial arts.”
"I don't dare to lie to Master! No matter how hard it is, no matter how difficult it is to learn, I will do my best and not dare to slack off at all!”
"Alright!" Zuo Ci's expression turned serious. Jun 'er, you have to remember that the halberd technique consists of five parts: The method of using the blade is similar to the method of using the spear, and the method of using the 'aid' is to rush the shovel, cut back, stab horizontally, stab downward, and strangle diagonally. The methods of using Hu included cutting horizontally, cutting, and so on. The methods of using 'internal' include reverse separation, flat hook, nailing wall, turning stab, etc. Using the 'blocking' method, there were general attacks, piercing attacks, direct strikes, and so on. I don't have a halberd with me now. I'll get someone to find one for you in a few days. Now, I can only use a spear to replace a halberd. I'll demonstrate it a few times for you to see. You have to observe it carefully, especially the beginning, bearing, turning, and combination between the front, support, Hu, inside, and defense!”After Zuo Ci finished speaking, he picked up a gun beside him and practiced it a few times for Wu Jun.
"The halberd technique is a combination of spear techniques, saber techniques, and sword techniques. Its main combat technique is based on spear techniques, and on this foundation, saber techniques and sword techniques are integrated. Therefore, if one wanted to practice the halberd technique, one must first practice the spear technique.
Spear arts were divided into blocking, grabbing, and stabbing. These were the basic movements of spear arts. The spear should be straight and fast, straight out and straight in, reaching the tip of the spear, so that the spear can pierce a line, the spear should be like a hidden dragon coming out of the water, and the spear should be like a fierce tiger entering the cave. There were also upper flat, middle flat, and lower flat spears, with middle flat as the main method. Therefore, there was a saying that 'middle flat spear is the king of spears, and the middle point is the most difficult to block.' The training of single barbeque and pair barbeque was the basic skill. Blocking and holding spear techniques were methods to block and defend. The movements should not be large in order to prevent the enemy soldiers from taking advantage of the situation. Other than that, there were also collapse, point, pierce, chop, circle, pick, poke, stab, strike, pounce, pounce, dance, and so on. These were all common spear techniques.”Zuo Ci explained to Wu Jun as he practiced. He was afraid that he would miss something or that Wu Jun did not understand.
"Jun 'er, you must remember that when practicing the halberd and spear techniques, you must twist and turn in a circle with the right amount of force and the correct method. When practicing the halberd, one's body movements had to be flexible and changeable. The range of movement had to be large, and the footwork had to be light, fast, and steady. One had to be able to walk like the wind and steal like a nail. The strength of the waist, legs, arms, and wrists had to be integrated with the halberd, and the strength had to penetrate the tip of the halberd.
The magic of halberd magic lies in its mastery. When it is mastered, the mind can forget the hand, and the hand can forget the halberd. There is nothing more precious than tranquility. Tranquility is the most important thing. Tranquility does not make the mind act rashly, but it is easy to deal with. It is unpredictable and immeasurable. The halberd has its own strength and weakness, and its own strange and positive. Its attack is sharp, and its retreat is fast. Its momentum is dangerous and its joints are short. It is as steady as a mountain, and as fast as thunder.”
"Therefore, because the movements of a weapon like the halberd are exquisite, it is more suitable for chariot battles, horse battles, and foot battles. Under the condition that the center of gravity is stable or that the lower limbs do not need to make large movements, the user can carefully and calmly make various technical movements and fully utilize the advantages of the halberd.”
Therefore, in the following five years, Wu Jun learned from Zuo Ci about the art of war and Sun Tzu's Art of War in the morning. In the afternoon, he practiced riding, dismounting, and spurring the horse, as well as halberd, saber, sword, and archery. Wu Jun had learned his swordsmanship and archery from his uncle, Wu Zilan, since he was young. Time passed in the blink of an eye. In the blink of an eye, Wu Jun was 15 years old. At this moment, he was about seven feet tall (equivalent to about 1.7 meters in the future). His face was fair and handsome, and he had a strong back and a strong waist. He was extraordinary and valiant. He could also use a few weapons with ease. His master, Zuo Ci, secretly nodded in praise. One day, in the wilderness, Wu Jun mounted his horse and brandished his halberd like the wind. Wherever the halberd wind passed by, sand and stones flew in a radius of several zhang, as if a sharp blade had swept past, and deep trenches were pierced into the ground. It was cold and flawless, and anyone who faced it would be defeated. There was really an awe-inspiring aura in front and behind him, and a murderous aura under the horse!
