Lu Manor, back hall.
When Lu Zhi returned to the back hall, Lu Furen couldn't bear it and asked curiously,"Husband, your health is not good to begin with. Why did you take in another disciple?”
"Some favors must be returned," Lu Zhi said helplessly. Besides, I think this Liu Bei is not bad.”
Not to mention others, Lu Zhi really had a pair of discerning eyes. Whether it was Gongsun Zan or Liu Bei, they were both worthy of being considered figures at the end of the Han Dynasty.
"Oh!" Lu Furen nodded and did not probe further. She was also worried about Lu Zhi's health, so she asked. She was very assured about her husband Lu Zhi's conduct.
"Don't worry, I feel much better. I have no problem teaching three disciples.”Lu Zhi looked at his wife lovingly and said.
Lu Furen had entered the sect for many years but still hadn't gotten pregnant. This was the pain in Lu Zhi's heart. Even if the couple was very loving and never said anything, who wouldn't want to have children?
"But…" Lu Furen couldn't help but stroke her flat belly.
"Hey!" Lu Zhi and his wife sighed in unison from the back hall.
……
The next morning.
Gongsun Zan brought Liu Bei and Liu Deran to a small drill ground in the backyard of the Lu Residence that was similar to a drill ground in the future.
Good heavens, although the drill ground was small, there were arrow piles, sandbags, wooden stakes, eighteen kinds of weapons, and a pure white warhorse.
At this moment, Lu Zhi was practicing a set of sword techniques on the field. Lu Zhi's movements were slow, but each of his moves was extremely sharp. Liu Bei could even feel the Sword Qi and the murderous intent of blood and iron.
Lu Zhi was a great scholar in the sea and a famous general at the end of the Han Dynasty. He was both civil and martial, and could be considered the only Confucian general in this generation.
From the end of the Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms, there were three people who could be called famous generals. Including Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and Zhu Wei. Among them, Zhu was the weakest, Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song were on par, and they were also the most controversial in the later generations.
The later generations had been arguing endlessly about which of the three was the best at fighting. The focus was on Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song. First of all, there was no doubt that the three of them were definitely the best in Han Wei.
In terms of battle results, Huangfu Song was definitely number one. Huangfu Song had single-handedly destroyed the Yellow Turban Rebellion that had brought disaster to the entire Great Han Dynasty in just seven months when he was serious.
If one added literary talent, Lu Zhi was definitely the best in the world. Lu Zhi had collated and annotated the military books left behind by many ancestors. He also had a collection of works handed down.
However, it was useless. Lu Zhi's health was not good, and he was upright. So what if he was a famous general? So what if he was powerful?
Just as Liu Bei was daydreaming, Lu Zhi finished his sword technique. Lu Zhi put away his sword and calmed down before saying,""The sword is the king of weapons. The sword was a short-ranged weapon. Both sides of the sword were sharpened, with a straight body and a sharp tip. When dancing, it was lethal to both sides. Attacks with the tip of the sword could easily penetrate armor.”
"The sword is a very dangerous weapon. It often brings danger to the person who uses it. Of course, it was also a weapon that existed to kill.”Lu Zhi warned.
Lu Zhi continued to teach," As for the sword techniques, there are cleaving, chopping, breaking, lifting, blocking, washing, cutting, stabbing, stirring, pressing, hanging, sweeping, and so on. Its characteristics were the combination of hardness and softness, freely swallowing and exhaling, light and agile, vigorous and beautiful. The so-called sword is like a flying phoenix, from which we can know its beauty.”
"Yes, the current sword master is Wang Yue, and the spear master is Tong Yuan. These two people have some friendship with me. If there's a chance, let them teach you a thing or two.”Lu Zhi began to introduce his connections to Liu Bei and the others.
Upon hearing this, Liu Bei finally understood why Zhao Yun had sought refuge with Gongsun Zan in history. It must have something to do with Lu Zhi and Tong Yuan. The same logic applied to Liu Bei when he joined them.
Wang Yue might be good at martial arts and his swordsmanship was high, but he was not as good as Tong Yuan in terms of disciples. Tong Yuan's disciples were all amazing people, such as Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren, and Zhang Xiu. They were all shining brightly on the stage of the Three Kingdoms at the end of Han Dynasty.
"Thank you, teacher!" Liu Bei and the other two bowed in thanks.
Lu Zhi raised his hand and said to Gongsun Zan,""Bogui, you're the senior brother. In the future, you should set an example in terms of martial arts. Now, you can demonstrate your saber techniques to your junior brothers.”
He watched as the saber in the middle of the field danced so tightly that water could not enter, and it was even fierce and powerful. This made Liu Bei feel as if his worldview had been overturned.
Gongsun Zan was already so powerful, but Lu Zhi was still shaking his head. Liu Bei really thought that he had come to the fake Three Kingdoms era.
"Teacher, even Senior Brother Gongsun's dance is so beautiful. Are you not satisfied?”Little fatty Liu Deran asked Liu Bei's question.
"Dancing well? What was the use of looking good? The broadsword was used to kill the enemy, not to be danced around.”Lu Zhi blew his beard and glared at him.
"Teacher is right." Gongsun Zan brandished his saber and put it away on his back. He stood straight and nodded in response.
"The knife technique is steady, accurate, and ruthless," Lu Zhi said seriously. When facing the enemy, I am invincible. I will not turn back my blade. I will not hesitate. Under the same level of strength, mentality and aura determined victory and defeat. Life and death were often decided by a thin line!”
Lu Zhi's on-the-spot teaching was truly worthy of being a famous general and a good teacher. Even Liu Bei, who had transmigrated, felt that he had benefited a lot, let alone Gongsun Zan, who had good martial arts skills.
Then Lu Zhi asked Gongsun Zan to demonstrate his skills on horseback.
Liu Bei took a look and saw that there wasn't even a three-piece cavalry set. There was only a single saddle, a piece of cloth on the horse's back, and no horseshoes. However, this white horse was truly a divine horse.
Gongsun Zan took the reins and jumped onto the tall white horse.
"Hiss!" As the white horse galloped, Gongsun Zan bent down and picked up a large spear on the weapon rack.
Perhaps it was because of Lu Zhi's teachings, Gongsun Zan's eyes were filled with ferocity. He brandished his spear as if he was facing an enemy, and the strong wind caused whirlpools and distortions to appear in the air.
Only then did Lu Zhi reveal a satisfied expression. He stroked his beard and said,""The spear is divided into two parts, the handle and the head. The handle of the lance was six feet long. The spearhead was shaped like a round hammer, and some of them had a number of iron nails on their heads. Some of the lances had a lance at the end of their handles. Its main techniques include splitting, covering, cutting, blocking, lifting, charging, belt, picking and so on.”
At Lu Zhi's request, Gongsun Zan demonstrated almost all eighteen kinds of martial arts. Gongsun Zan was good at his spear, and his best skill was archery.
He looked at Gongsun Zan, who was galloping on his horse, drawing his bow and shooting arrows. Liu Bei did not dare to imagine how exaggerated the martial arts skills of Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Zhao Yun would be.
Not to mention Lu Bu, who had surrounded them.
Was this world a little too crazy?
"Not bad!" When Gongsun Zan finished his practice, Lu Zhi finally spoke.
Gongsun Zan was a little out of breath, but he also bowed humbly and said,""It's all thanks to Teacher's good guidance."
"Master leads the way, but cultivation depends on oneself.”Lu Zhi nodded." No matter if it's martial arts or literature, there's no other way but to study hard. There are no shortcuts."”
"There is a path to the mountain of books, but there is no end to the sea of learning.”When Liu Bei heard this, he was moved.
"Oh!" Lu Zhi's face showed a strange expression. He asked Liu Bei,"Do you have a surname?" Do you want to learn that weapon?"
"Teacher, my name is Xuande." Liu Bei bowed and said,"I want to learn the sword."”
In history, Liu Bei used a sword, a double-edged sword. Moreover, it was certain that Liu Bei's martial strength was not low. If the three heroes fought against Lu Bu, who would dare to surround Lu Bu without some skill?
At the same time, it also showed that Liu Bei had really learned a lot from Lu Zhi, and that Lu Zhi was really sincere in teaching him.
"Liu Bei, Liu Xuande, good! Sword, yes!" Lu Zhi laughed and said,"Xuande, go wash up and eat something. Then, the three of you come to the study."”
