Chapter 5-The Chaotic Situation
At that time, the world was in chaos, the wind and rain were unstable, thieves were everywhere, and there were internal and external troubles. Emperor Taizong had finally mastered his martial arts in Hebei's Holy Mountain. The Great Immortal, the Emperor's teacher, had ordered him to go down the mountain to save the people from the abyss of suffering and the people's livelihood.
- Records of the Historian: The Biography of Emperor Taizong and Wu Jun
In the second month of the seventh year of the reign of Emperor Ling of the Great Han Dynasty, which was the second month of the year 184, the Eastern Han Dynasty, which had been around for more than 160 years, was in a state of turmoil, with internal and external troubles. The fatuous and dissolute Ling Emperor indulged in wine and sex and favored eunuchs. In the court, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Feng Wei, Duan Gui, Cao Jie, Hou Lan, Jian Shuo, Cheng Kuang, Xia Yun, and Guo Sheng were known as the Ten Attendants. Spirit Emperor Liu Hongzun believed in Zhang Rang and called him "Father".
The most fatal blow was that the government was declining day by day, causing the people of the world to be in chaos and thieves to rise. At that time, there were three brothers named Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang in Julu County, Hebei Province. It was said that Zhang Jiao was originally an unranked scholar. When he went to the mountains to pick herbs, he met the old immortal of Nanhua. The old immortal of Nanhua taught him three volumes of the Heavenly Book of the Taiping Essential Technique. Zhang Jiao got this book and practiced it day and night. He could call the wind and rain, so he was called the Taoist of Peace. In the first month of the first year of Zhongping, the plague was prevalent. Zhang Jiao scattered Fu Shui to cure people and called himself "Great Virtuous Teacher". Zhang Jiao has more than 500 disciples, wandering around, all can write talismans and recite spells. Later, the number of disciples increased day by day. Zhang Jiao then set up thirty-six sides, more than ten thousand people in the big side and six or seven thousand people in the small side. Each side set up a commander and called him a general. There is a rumor: "The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should be established; The year is in the sixties, and the world is in good luck." He ordered people to use white clay to write the word "Jiazi" on the door of the house. Qing, You, Xu, Hebei, Jing, Yang, Yan and Henan eight states people, every family to serve the name of the great sage teacher Zhang Jiao. Soon, Zhang Jiao called himself General Heaven Duke, Zhang Bao called himself General Earth Duke, and Zhang Liang called himself General Ren Duke. And he told the people, saying,"Now the fate of the Han Dynasty is coming to an end, and the Great Sage has come out. You should obey the will of heaven and be upright, so as to enjoy peace.”
In a few months, the Yellow Turban Army had a total of four to five hundred thousand soldiers. The government troops were on the lookout for the wind. At that time, the capital was shocked and the world was in chaos. Emperor Ling summoned General He Jin to issue a call to arms to each county to make meritorious service in the crusade against the rebels. He also sent Zhonglang generals Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and Zhu Wei to lead their elite troops to attack the Yellow Turban Army in three ways. For a time, the flames of war were everywhere in the Great Khan. Corpses were strewn everywhere, and the people were suffering. Thinking back to the days when the Great Khan was rich and powerful, he would rather be a dog in peace than a man in troubled times!”
At this moment, in the Danding Sect's martial arts field of the Holy Mountain in Hebei Province, there was a young man who was eight feet and five inches tall. He had a jade-like face, smooth lips, a strong back, and a strong waist. At that time, it was like a sparrow soaring into the sky, as light as a flying swan; Sometimes it is like an old tree with roots, motionless like a mountain. Who was this person? This young man was none other than Wu Jun, the " First Prodigy of the Great Han Dynasty " bestowed by the emperor, who had been a talented man of Lujiang and had been cultivating hard in the Holy Mountain after becoming the Great Immortal Zuo Ci's disciple a few years ago.
The sun rose and set, the summer came and went, and the cold came. Eight thousand li of road, clouds and moon, thirty thousand days of sweat and blood! As the saying went," A day in the mountains is equivalent to a year in the world!”Time and tide waited for no man. In the blink of an eye, another five years had passed. " Hidden dragons grow in the mountains." Wu Jun had already grown into a handsome young man who was eight feet and five inches tall, with a jade-like face and smooth lips. He had the back of a tiger and the waist of a bear. Ever since he came to the Holy Mountain with his master Zuo Ci ten years ago, Wu Jun had been learning from his master every morning for the first five years. In the afternoon, he learned halberd, saber, sword, and archery from his master. Every day after dinner, he would read the Analects of Confucius and Bian Que's Divine Chapter from time to time.
In the next five years, in an unknown cave at the back mountain of the Danding Sect in the Holy Mountain, Wu Jun was lucky enough to obtain the three treasures of the Warring States Period, the 'Wu An Will' from Li Mu, the Lord of Wu 'an of the State of Zhao, the Soaring Rainbow Sword, and the Sun-Breaking Bow and Cloud-Piercing Arrow. Other than learning the art of war and the art of war from his master every morning, Zuo Ci would let Wu Jun comprehend the art of war and the' Wu An Will 'by himself most of the time. In the next five years, Wu Jun had repeatedly studied and reviewed the contents of "The Art of War" and "The Will of Wu An" many times. In addition, he had a super memory of reading ten lines at a glance and had a photographic memory. In his previous life, he was very proficient in "The Art of War". As early as two years ago, Wu Jun had already reached the realm of being able to recite any art of war in his book without his master's permission. Wu Jun was also reading and studying the tens of thousands of books on astronomy, geography, and the customs of the Han Dynasty that had been stored since the establishment of the sect in the library of his teachers.
In the afternoon, apart from learning and training the halberd technique, spear technique, saber technique, sword technique, and archery technique from his master Zuo Ci, Wu Jun would also spend a few hours every day practicing the Eighteen Flying Dragon Stances in the Wuan Will. In the past few years, Wu Jun had made great progress in his halberd technique, spear technique, saber technique, sword technique, and archery technique. In particular, his halberd technique, spear technique, sword technique, and archery technique were outstanding among the hundreds of fellow disciples in the sect. With an iron halberd or silver spear in hand, he was invincible in his sect. Archery was also a technique that could pierce a willow tree with a hundred steps and hit the target with a hundred shots. After learning the Eighteen Soaring Dragon Forms, Wu Jun's mastery of the martial arts was like a tiger with wings. As the saying goes," having more skills doesn't burden you "!
In order to enhance his actual combat and commanding abilities, Wu Jun had specially invented the " sand table deduction method " of later generations. In the past five years, he had already performed sand table deductions on all the military strategies in the book and more than a hundred battles, big and small, with his master Zuo Ci. In the beginning, because Zuo Ci was not very familiar with this newly invented combat technique, Wu Jun often defeated his master. After that, Zuo Ci began to display his rich military and life experience. He started to defeat Wu Jun many times. As the saying went," The older the wiser," Later on, Wu Jun 'reflected on the painful experience and thought about failure after defeat'. As the saying went,' when you are poor, you will change. When you change, you will understand.' Wu Jun applied the tactics and ideas of guerrilla warfare, tunnel warfare, sparrow warfare, assault warfare, and psychological warfare in the later generations to the "sand table deduction method". Only then did he recover from his decline and gradually tied with his master. In the end, the more he used it, the more proficient he became. Only then did he defeat Zuo Ci many times with the attitude of a victor.
After the incident, Zuo Ci earnestly taught his disciple,"Jun 'er, the art of war says,' In a battle, one should use the right way to join forces and use the strange way to win. Therefore, those who are good at strange things are as endless as heaven and earth, as endless as rivers and seas. The situation of war is no more than strange and positive, and the change of strange and positive is invincible. Strange and right complement each other, just like the endless cycle, who can find the end of it!'。Since ancient times, all famous generals and wise generals could use the art of war to make the best use of the situation and defeat the enemy with a strange plan!”
"Jun 'er, you have to remember that there are no generals who always win or lose on the battlefield. The information on the battlefield is ever-changing. Those who can adapt to the changes of the enemy and win are called gods.'War tested the wisdom, perseverance, and tenacity of the commander, the general, and the soldiers. Only by having all three could one be invincible.”
"Thank you for your teachings, Master. I will work hard on the art of war and tactics, and I will definitely not disappoint Master.”
"Jun 'er, I have to emphasize a few things. The so-called art of war includes nothing more than' Dao, Heaven, Earth, Generals, and Law.'It also involves astronomy and geography.”Even though Zuo Ci knew that his disciple, who was very proficient in the art of war, already understood these things very well, he could not help but continue to teach him. He did not dare to let him slack off or become complacent.
"This disciple will remember Master's teachings!”Wu Jun was also very clear about his teacher's good intentions and intentions, so he replied respectfully.
Half a year later, the time stopped at the fifth year of the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Liu Hong. On the eleventh day of the ninth month of the year 188, Wu Jun celebrated his tenth birthday in the Holy Mountain, which was also his twentieth birthday in the Han Dynasty. In ancient times, the world paid special attention to a child's twentieth birthday because on the day of the twentieth birthday, the elders would hold a crowning ceremony for young men who had reached the age of 20. He gave a 15-year-old girl a wedding ceremony and gave her a name, telling her that she had grown up and had to shoulder the mission of an adult.
Wu Jun had arrived at the main hall of the Pill Cauldron Sect early in the morning to receive the congratulations of his master, uncle-master, uncle-master, and fellow disciples. "Jun 'er, today is your twentieth birthday! From now on, you're an upright man. Your parents are far away in Lujiang, Jiangnan. Today, I will give you a name!”As the current sect master and elder of Danding Sect, Zuo Ci, who was sitting in the main seat in the hall, saw that everyone had arrived and said to Wu Jun," When you left Lujiang at the age of ten, your father and I thought of two names for you. One was 'Heavenly Virtue', which meant' following the heavens and carrying out one's destiny'; The other was 'Soaring Dragon', which meant' as strong as a horse, as graceful as a soaring dragon'. I wonder which one Jun 'er likes?" Zuo Ci explained to Wu Jun with a smile.
"Thank you, Master and Father, for giving me this name! These two names have rich meanings, but I still prefer the second name, Flying Dragon.”Wu Jun cupped his hands and answered Zuo Ci.
"Wu Jun, Wu Xianglong, good! Jun 'er, then you'll be known as Flying Dragon from now on!”After Zuo Ci saw that Wu Jun had chosen his name, he announced it to everyone.
Spring passed and summer came, and the flowers grew. Another half a year passed.
One morning, Wu Jun and Wu Xianglong had just finished practicing in the training field when they were called by Brother Ye to Zuo Ci's study.
"Jun 'er, you and your master have been learning at the Holy Mountain for ten years. In these 10 years, you have studied hard and practiced your martial arts. You have not let me down. You have basically learned everything from your master and your sect. There is nothing more for me to teach you. What you lack now is experience and maturity. The current situation is chaotic, and heroes are emerging in large numbers. This world is ultimately the world of you young people. You should also go down the mountain and make a move. In this era of heroes, use your own hands to establish your own achievements! Three days later, I will send you down the mountain.”Zuo Ci said to Wu Jun while trying hard to suppress his excitement and reluctance.
"Master, this disciple still has many questions that I haven't asked Master, Martial Uncle, Martial Uncle, and fellow disciples. I can't bear to part with you! Master, your disciple wants to stay by your side forever and serve you for the rest of your life.”When Wu Jun heard that he would be leaving the mountain in three days, he was both worried and happy. He was worried that he would have to leave his master and wander the martial world alone. He would not be able to listen to his master's teachings. He was happy that he had finally succeeded in his studies and won the recognition of his master. He could go to the world of the Three Kingdoms and compete with the heroes. However, a teacher for a day was a father for life. Moreover, he had stayed in the Holy Mountain for 10 years. Ten years, a hundred years of kindness! His master, Zuo Ci, was the person closest to him besides his parents and foster father, Hua Tuo. Although he had thought that there would be a day when he would leave his master to build his own world, once this day came, he found that he was extremely reluctant, just like when he left his parents in Lujiang.
"Silly child, how can there be eagles and flying dragons that always stay by the side of adults? If you are an eagle or a soaring dragon, you should spread your wings and soar! When you are tired of flying, you can return to the Holy Mountain to visit your masters and fellow disciples.”
"Your martial arts have already reached a small level. There are probably not many people who can defeat you now, so I can rest assured. However, Jun 'er, you still have to remember,' Be humble and gain benefits!'，Not to mention that there were many heroes in the world! In any battle, one must never underestimate the enemy. I don't expect you to do something spectacular. I only hope that you can do good deeds for the country and the people. At least, you won't let down the conscience of heaven and earth!”
"Master's teachings, this disciple will always remember them by my ears and won't dare to forget!”
"Master's only regret is that I can't find a good halberd for you. I don't have anything to give you, only this Golden Silkworm Armor and the Pear Blossom Golden Spear that I used when I was young. This Golden Silkworm Armor can ensure that you are invulnerable. This Pear Blossom Golden Spear was passed down to me by your grandmaster. It's a top-grade divine weapon, and now I'm giving it to you.”
"Thank you, Master, for your generous gift of treasures. This disciple will definitely not disappoint Master's high hopes for Jun 'er!”When Wu Jun heard that his master had given him all his assets, he could only cry and pray to calm the gratitude in his heart.
Three days later, Wu Jun bid farewell to his masters, uncles, uncles, and fellow disciples. He packed his luggage and bowed three times with each step he took down the Purple Cloud Peak of the Holy Mountain!
