However, it was difficult for two fists to fight against four hands. A tiger could not fight against a pack of wolves. Moreover, these servants were not martial artists in the complete sense. In addition, the other party had the advantage in numbers. A dozen people were more than enough to deal with six or seven servants.
In a short while, three of the six servants fell to the ground with serious injuries, and the other three were also dead. Liu Heng panicked when he saw this! Is this fate?
After everyone was completely subdued, the leader of the robbers walked towards Liu Heng step by step. After all, he did not dare to attack Liu Heng without knowing his actual strength.
Seeing the bandit leader approaching, Liu Heng felt calm. He recalled the few moves he had learned from Wang Huofu, turned around casually, and jumped up. He rushed towards the bandit leader and shouted,"Watch my fist!"
The leader of the bandits sneered and raised his saber, ready to split the mountain.
Liu Heng, however, was not afraid at all. He continued to move forward, holding the dagger in his right hand, ready to launch a sneak attack.
Suddenly, a loud voice sounded,""Good man! You have guts!"
Before he could finish his sentence, the sharp arrow shot through the air!
The bandit leader in front of Liu Heng had been shot in the neck. He fell on his back, blood gushing out like a fountain. Even if he died, he would never understand how this arrow could be so powerful!
Liu Heng was also so frightened by this arrow that he almost squatted on the ground. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a white-robed youth riding a date red horse. He held a long dan liang silver spear in his hand and had already charged into the group of thieves.
The silver spear in his hand was like a dragon in the sea or a dragon in the nine heavens!
In an instant, the dozen or so thieves were either dead or injured, all of them wailing and rolling on the ground.
Seeing this young man's martial arts and courage, Liu Heng immediately thought of two words: Zhao Yun of Chang Mountain!
Liu Heng didn't have time to think. He helped the injured servants into the carriage and worked with the three servants who were slightly injured to quickly tie up the criminals who were still crying on the ground.
After everything was settled, Liu Heng came to the white-robed youth and cupped his fists."Thank you for saving me. Seeing the warrior's skill reminds me of someone. I wonder if he has any relationship with the warrior?”
The white-robed youth's expression froze for a moment before he humbly said,""I wonder who that person is? If it was in the Chang Mountain territory, perhaps I would know.”
"Changshan-Zhao Yun!"
When the white-robed youth heard this, he revealed a surprised expression. He clearly did not expect this person to know Zhao Yun. He was first stunned before answering,"Hmm? I am Zhao Yun from Changshan. I have never met you before. How did you know? Yun has never left the boundary of Changshan."
After getting Zhao Yun's confirmation, Liu Heng's heart was filled with excitement." I didn't expect this person to really be Zhao Yun!”
However, he could not show his excitement on his face. He could only push his master out again and say,"I heard from my master that he had mentioned Zhao Yun of Changshan several times, praising him for his loyalty and bravery, his outstanding martial arts skills, and his courage and strategy. If he met a wise ruler, he would definitely become a role model for generals!”
As he spoke, he sized up the real Zhao Yun from Chang Shan. This Zhao Yun was six feet tall (he was only 14 years old now). He had a majestic appearance, and a free and easy aura spread between his eyebrows. He had the aura of a good general from ancient times. He was indeed the object of worship for everyone.
After hearing Liu Heng's words, Zhao Yun's expression did not change. She cupped her fists and said,"I don't dare to accept your love.”
" Everything my master said is true. Seeing it today, I feel that this time, the thief was not wronged.”Liu Heng said politely.
Zhao Yun smiled slightly as she looked at Liu Heng, who was about the same height as her. Although he was young, he was far more experienced than ordinary people. His eyes were bright and spirited, and his smile was sincere.
His taste in clothing was not something that ordinary merchants could compare to. He looked more like a young master from an aristocratic family. Zhao Yun could not help but be surprised and said,"I feel like I've met you before today. Your clothes are not ordinary businessmen, and you are so young. Do you remind me of someone?”
"Huh?" Liu Heng asked curiously. Who is it?"
Zhao Yun took out a neat new book from her bosom and placed it in front of Liu Heng." It's Yang Le Liu Heng, the one who published this book,'Warring States Policy'!”
Liu Heng took the Warring States Strategy and looked at the printing date on the back of the cover."That's right. This book was printed in a newly established printing workshop in Ji City. I didn't expect Brother Zhao to be such a book-lover.”
Zhao Yun was surprised and said,""This book was bought by my brother when he went to Ji City to handle some business a few days ago. Usually Yun loves reading, but most of the books are handwritten, the handwriting is blurred and difficult to identify.
Ever since I saw this book, I couldn't help but sigh at the wonders of the world. The handwriting is neat and clear. It can be seen that Brother Liu must have found a master of calligraphy…"
Liu Heng returned the book to Zhao Yun and said with a smile," This book was not hand-copied. It was printed using a printing technique that I invented. Otherwise, why would there be a need to indicate the 'printing date' on the back of the seal?”
Zhao Yun looked at the words on the book and muttered to herself,"The art of printing is amazing! No wonder the handwriting was so neat. Haha, I'm so ignorant."
Liu Heng laughed, picked up a branch and drew a picture on the ground. Then, he explained the basic principle of movable type printing to Zhao Yun in a low voice. Zhao Yun was dumbfounded and couldn't help but praise,"Wonderful! Wonderful!"
"Brother Liu is so talented that he should be an official. Business is really…" Zhao Yun sighed.
Liu Heng shook his head." The Book of Songs, the Analects of Confucius, and other Confucian classics were printed together with this book. Why does Brother Zhao like this one?"”
Zhao Yun stroked the three words 'Strategy of the Warring States' on the cover and said,"Yun loved military books and strategies since he was young.'Men should make contributions on the battlefield!'
Therefore, he did not like Confucianism very much and did not read for more than an hour. Later, when my brother went out, he accidentally found a small half of Sun Tzu's Art of War, but it made Yun read it for nearly a month without sleeping or eating.”
Liu Heng sighed in his heart, It was difficult for the ancients to read books!”He said to Zhao Yun," As the name suggests, the Warring States Strategy mostly records the discussions of strategists on politics, governing the country, and controlling the country. It belongs to the major policies at the national level and is not very beneficial for leading the army to fight.”
As he spoke, he turned around and walked to the side of the carriage. He took out a book wrapped in silk from his bag and brought it to Zhao Yun. He took off the silk outside the book and presented the well-made book in front of him.
Zhao Yun took a closer look and wrote four words,'Thirty-six stratagems!'
"This book is a collection of the essence of many ancient and modern military books and strategies. It was also completed with the guidance of my master."”
He flipped to the first page and muttered,""He always said: 6636, there is a technique in the number, there is a number in the technique. Yin and yang are harmonious, and the key lies in them. The machine cannot be set up, and if it is set up, it will not hit the target. This is the so-called Sun Tzu's saying that there is no fixed momentum in war and no fixed shape in water.”
Zhao Yun's eyes lit up as she extended her hand.
Liu Heng knew what she meant and didn't want to be heard by the bandits tied to the ground, so he followed Zhao Yun into the forest by the road and found two big stones to sit down on.
The birds and insects chirped around him, and the breeze blew. Liu Heng began to read at a volume that only the two of them could hear clearly,""The first set,[Winning Strategy].
The first plan is to deceive the world and cross the sea to guard against the Zhou Dynasty, so that the mind will be slack, and the common people will not doubt it. Yin is inside yang, not opposite yang. Taiyang, Taiyin.
The second plan was to surround Wei and save Zhao. It was better to divide the enemy than to attack together. It was better to attack in the dark than in the open.
The third plan was to kill the enemy with a borrowed knife. The enemy was already clear, but the friend was still uncertain. He did not do his own work and deduced it with "Sun."
The fourth plan is to wait for the enemy to be exhausted and not to fight. The more rigid it is, the softer it becomes.
The fifth plan is to take advantage of the enemy's situation to take advantage of the situation, which is to use force to decide softness.
The sixth plan is to divert the enemy's attention to the east and attack the west. The enemy's morale is chaotic and unexpected. The phenomenon of the lower part of the earth against the upper part is to take advantage of the fact that it is not independent and can be taken.
……
The thirty-sixth plan is to escape for the whole division to avoid the enemy. There is no disaster in the left, because there is no abnormality.
In the end, he concluded with Sun Tzu's words: A man who is good at fighting first is invincible and waits for the enemy to be defeated.”
Although it hadn't been long, it had already deeply attracted Zhao Yun.
After reading the entire book, Zhao Yun closed her eyes and fell into deep thought, completely forgetting everything around her. After a long time, he respectfully said,"Brother Liu has read many ancient books and knows the art of war like the back of his hand." Therefore, this book is shocking, and it is impossible to write it without the art of war. Although there were only thirty-six stratagems, they contained endless and varied stratagems. It was a strange book, a strange book!”
Liu Heng was shocked when he heard Zhao Yun's comment. He secretly praised,""Most of the later generations regarded the Thirty-Six Stratagems as their own independent strategies, but they did not know that the true essence of the strategy was that it was ever-changing and had no long-term strategy. It was truly complementary to Sun Tzu's thinking.”
Liu Heng then said excitedly,"This book has met a bosom friend!"”
"What does Brother Liu mean?" Zhao Yun asked in surprise.”
Liu Heng closed the book and said," This book is based on the sixty-four hexagrams of the Book of Changes. That's why it's so strange and changeable. It's difficult for ordinary people to get all of it. I didn't expect Brother Zhao to be able to understand the essence of it with one sentence. If you're not a knowledgeable person, you wouldn't be able to do so!" Since that's the case, I'm willing to give this book to Brother Zhao!”
