Chapter 406: Confucius of Silla and the Fish Scale Formation

Just as Queen Shande was discussing this competition, in the posthouse not far from Jincheng, Cui Haoran also frowned and walked around the room, while on his side, Su Dingfang slowly walked

While drinking, he looked extremely carefree, obviously not paying attention to the scene just now.

"General Su, Lord Su, do you still want to have a drink here? You must know that you agreed to the competition so easily. Once the news reaches the imperial court, those imperial officials will not have to drown you with spitting foam. There is no oppression.

Suspected of belonging to the country." Cui Haoran finally couldn't bear it anymore, walked to Su Dingfang and said loudly.

"Haha Master Cui finally couldn't help it anymore." Su Dingfang put down his wine glass, looked at Cui Haoran with a smile, and said: "Come on, come on, Master Cui, please sit down, and I will explain it to you in detail." He couldn't help but say.

Press Cui Haoran on the opposite side.

"Well, let's see how you explain it." Cui Haoran is a scholar. Although he is not a weak scholar, he can't be compared with Su Dingfang. He was pressed on the table by the other party and couldn't move, but his words were extremely sharp. It can be seen that he is

Don't be lenient with your mouth.

"Master Cui, does he know why your majesty sent this general to the small country of Silla? Is it really to escort a princess?" Su Dingfang showed a disdainful smile on his lips. He, Su Dingfang, was also a hero. He was the general Yingyang and served in the imperial court.

Zhong is also an important general. Although the other party is a princess and the future imperial concubine, she is from a vassal country, so there is no need for a general like himself to escort her personally.

"What do you mean, general?" Cui Haoran's eyes widened. Now that one possibility has been eliminated, there is only another possibility left. Since it is not well-intentioned, it is malicious. Cui Haoran was suddenly shocked and surprised.

looked at Su Dingfang.

"That's right. Your Majesty asked me to come to pick up the princess. The most important thing is to find out the truth." Su Dingfang sneered: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful. He started his career with thousands of family private soldiers, and now he has become the emperor.

, His Majesty conquered the world, and no one in the world dared to do anything wrong. The Three Kingdoms of Silla are close to our dynasty, so how can such a place be occupied by others. I think that Your Majesty will definitely conquer the Three Kingdoms of Silla in the future. What's more, there is also Goguryeo, who was killed by Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty that year.

During that period, millions of our young men and women from the Central Plains died in Liaodong, which weakened the strength of the Central Plains a lot before being invaded by foreigners. Today, the bones of those soldiers are still on the banks of the Liao River. They cannot return to their homeland after death.

How could we not avenge this kind of hatred after visiting Jingguan? This general only proposed the competition in three days. On the one hand, it was to see the reality of Silla, and on the other hand, it was also to frighten the three kingdoms of Goguryeo. After all, Silla will face Goguryeo and Goguryeo in the future.

If Baekje's joint attack is quickly destroyed by the two countries, then our country will have to send troops immediately, which will be detrimental to our country. The purpose of this competition is to show off the majesty of the Tang Dynasty and scare those gangsters."

"If so, it's a good idea." Cui Haoran nodded and said: "Sometimes force is far more powerful and direct than words. What you take by force is your own. General Su is really powerful.

It is worthy of following the champion. In this case, I can sleep peacefully and wait for the good news from the general." From the beginning to the end, neither Cui Haoran nor Su Dingfang considered the possibility of failure. This is courage.

The trust of Tang soldiers.

"Is there any news from the court?" Su Dingfang suddenly asked.

"Not yet, haha, don't worry, I will be able to return to Chang'an in a few days." Cui Haoran said with a smile: "I'll take my leave first. Haha" he said, bowing his hand to Su Dingfang, and left.

The three days came quickly. The square in front of the palace was crowded with people. On the high platform, Queen Seondeok and her sister were on the high platform. As for the other civil servants and generals such as Changchuan, Jin Chunqiu, etc., they were also lined up.

On both sides, the envoys of the Tang Dynasty Cui Haoran and Su Dingfang also dined with Anchuan and Jin Chunqiu respectively. As for Goguryeo, the Baekje envoys had been waiting aside for a long time. However, their official positions were too low and they did not want to be received in Silla.

In a corner, someone was sulking secretly. If he hadn't wanted to see what the Tang Dynasty was doing, I'm afraid these two people wouldn't have come at all. When the two countries became hostile forces, the envoy would suffer.

"General, I don't know that your lieutenant is a human being. Why haven't you seen the general yet?" Jin Chunqiu looked at Su Dingfang with a smile and said. He indeed did not see the lieutenant, because in the center of the square, there were a thousand soldiers in the dark.

They were wearing Mingguang armor and holding wooden spears. No one had any special attire at all. It seemed that there were no lieutenants. This was very strange. Looking at the Silla army on the other side, Jin Yuxin had already been prepared and wore

The golden armor, sword in hand, riding a tall horse, showing off his power, coupled with his handsome appearance, won a round of cheers as soon as he appeared on the stage. Behind him, a thousand Silla soldiers marched in neat steps, wearing armor.

, holding a wooden spear in his hand, uniform and very mighty, after all, they are the team guarding the palace. They have different reactions. Looking at the posture, they are a mighty master. And this group of mighty masters are obviously enjoying the surroundings.

The cheers and the waving of hands and feet became more powerful. It was very stylish. On the contrary, the Tang army remained silent and did not speak at all. It was dark, like a giant beast, and it was completely dark.

There is no momentum. If it were not an army from the Celestial Empire, I would have been laughed at by others.

"Vice general?" After hearing this, Su Dingfang showed a smile on his face, called over a soldier beside him, and said, "Whose turn is it to take command of today's training?"

"Captain Guo Yi is drunk," the soldier said without thinking.

"Ming Guoyi, Colonel Shen Zui, will be the deputy general and let him take command." Su Dingfang nodded and said, "Just as usual, fight how you want. If you win, go back for a meal. If you lose, let Shen Zui go back."

Go home and farm. I heard that he is a branch of the Shen family in Huzhou, and his family has a lot of good farmland, so it would be a good choice to go home and farm."

"General, Captain Shen doesn't like farming the most." Hearing this, the soldier suppressed his smile and said, "I heard that he escaped privately on his own and has not been home for five years."

"Well, tell him that if he wins, I will personally write to the emperor to give him a promotion and let him return home in fine clothes. If he loses, he will also be allowed to go home and farm as a corps commander." Su Dingfang had no scruples at all.

Jin Chunqiu next to him waved his hand casually and said.

"Yes." The soldiers did not dare to neglect and hurried down to deliver the order without mentioning it.

"Colonel Lieutenant?" Yan Chuan frowned. Everyone knows what kind of official position a lieutenant is. Under the generals, there are still no idea how many generals there are? After generals, there are generals with other names, and then middle generals.

General Lang, and then it was the captain's turn. Now it's good. Not only did the man in front of him not play, he actually sent a captain to come on and let a captain lead the entire army. Is your army of the Tang Dynasty really that powerful?

No? Can a single captain lead a thousand soldiers to deal with the Silla general?

"General Su, why is the armor worn by Colonel Shen the same as ordinary armor? How can you identify it among thousands of troops?" Princess Jin Shengman asked gently with a smile on her face.

"Returning to the princess, when the two armies are fighting, there may be strong bows and crossbows. What will happen if the opponent uses strong bows and crossbows to attack them. If an army loses its commander, the strength of this army will be reduced. More than half of them were lost. Therefore, our court stipulated that during battle, generals must wear the same uniforms as ordinary soldiers, and the army must obey the command of the Chinese army's general." Su Dingfang sneered: "And the place where the Chinese army's general is located is not The location of the general is. Therefore, Her Royal Highness, the situation in front of you is what you are looking at."

"Among the rebels, can there be such a powerful person who can kill the opponent's coach with one arrow?" Jin Shengman asked in surprise.

"That's natural." Su Dingfang said without thinking: "I can shoot the enemy to death at a distance of one hundred and fifty steps towards His Highness Prince Liang." Su Dingfang said proudly.

"One hundred and fifty steps away?" Everyone's expressions changed. Yan Chuan was even more surprised and opened his mouth. But after all, he was a cunning man. His face soon returned to normal. He lowered his head and looked at the wine glass in front of him. But he stopped talking, as if there was something in the wine glass in front of him, while Jin Chunqiu coughed repeatedly. His city was far inferior to Langchuan. How could he hide it in his heart when he heard that there was such a brave person in China? of surprise.

Is this still a human being?

The surrounding Silla civil servants and generals sighed in surprise. They didn't dare not believe it, but who was Su Dingfang? He was an envoy of the Celestial Dynasty. Do you dare not believe what he said? The Celestial Dynasty is the Celestial Dynasty, and there are many talents. Ah, there is someone who can shoot the enemy from a hundred and fifty steps away. It is really timid to fight against such a person on the battlefield. If you are not careful, you will be shot by the opponent. No wonder the opponent is so cautious, even wearing ordinary clothes. The small soldiers are the same. The generals are not necessarily in the command of the central army. It is no wonder that they can unify the world with such caution. It is not unreasonable.

"General Su, do you think Captain Shen will definitely win?" Jin Shengman asked again.

"In the Tang Dynasty, it is very difficult to become a general, because a general must not only have outstanding martial arts skills, but more importantly, have the ability to command and be able to adapt to changes. However, it is very simple to become a lieutenant. He must have outstanding martial arts skills and be able to lead Good army." Su Dingfang raised his head and said: "In this dynasty, officers at the rank of captain must study martial arts and be able to independently command three thousand soldiers before they can become qualified military commanders. Colonel Shen only joined the military last year. If you learn it well, you will be awarded a sword by His Majesty himself."

"Beat the war drum." After Su Dingfang answered Jin Shengman's question, he returned to the case and shouted to the soldiers behind him. Although it was just a competition between the suzerain and the vassal country, both sides wanted to see each other. What's more, Su Dingfang's meaning is not as simple as a simple test. Therefore, whether it is a competition or anything else, he must be calm and calm, with a serious face, as if he has returned to the battlefield.

In an instant, war drums sounded in the square. The sound was earth-shattering and resounded through the sky. It seemed to hit people's hearts. It made people's blood boil. They couldn't help but let out roars. They used all their strength to launch the strongest attack on the opponent. .War drums are used to boost morale and revitalize military morale.

"The Tang Dynasty will win. The Tang Dynasty will win."

The Qian Tang Army, who had been silent just now, let out bursts of roars. This was a cry from the depths of their souls. It was not something ordinary soldiers could shout. Even Cui Haoran, who was sitting on the high platform, had a flushed face.

His face flashed with a hint of rosy, he stood up involuntarily, and followed behind him, shouting loudly.

The two Kinderman sisters had a look of surprise on their faces. Yan Chuan looked pale with a hint of fear in his eyes, while Jin Chunqiu also had a ruddy complexion and a look of excitement in his eyes. This is what a man should be like,

When he comes in and out, thousands of people follow him, and when he raises his hands and feet, everyone cheers. This is a real man.

Compared to Jin Yuxin, his face changed drastically, and he looked at the Tang Army opposite him in surprise. The Tang Army, who had been silent just now, suddenly had a surge in morale, which was not the same level at all. Look at the soldiers behind him again, and the other side's shouts

There was a hint of fear in the middle. Could this be our elite Silla troops guarding the palace? For the first time, Jin Yuxin felt a little doubt about whether this competition could be successful, but now he was riding a tiger and it was impossible to go back on his word.

Jin Yuxin gritted his teeth and looked at the opposite side, humming, Su Dingfang is a famous general and has killed countless people. If he comes on the field, maybe I will be worried, but you are just a small captain. How capable can a captain be?

It is simply a delusion to actually want to compete with me, Jin Yuxin. When he thought of this, Jin Yuxin couldn't help but cheer up, raised the long sword in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Attack the fish scale formation." This Jin Yuxin was not unprepared.

A competition is not a war, let alone a life-and-death struggle. Many weapons that should appear on the battlefield have not appeared, and many situations that may appear on the battlefield have not appeared. What we are fighting for now is just the cooperation of the soldiers and the commanding ability of the generals.

There is no restraint of arms at all. Of course, he does not think that defeating the team in front of him at this time can despise the Tang Dynasty, because the Tang Dynasty has more arms than Silla. The simplest,

The number of cavalry was not comparable to that of Silla. The wealth of the Tang Dynasty was not comparable to that of Silla. All Jin Yuxin could do was to use the powerful physique of the palace guards to defeat the opponent, so that the Tang Dynasty did not dare to underestimate them.

of the Silla Dynasty. So he set up the simplest fish scale formation among infantry formations, which was to use the strength and physique of the soldiers to achieve victory. Known as a famous general of Silla, he also knew a thing or two about the military art of the Central Plains.

"General, what do you think of this formation?" Jin Chunqiu looked at the fish scale formation in the square. It was indeed a formation from the Central Plains. Under the combination of this formation, more than a thousand soldiers actually emitted such a strong momentum, as if they were as sharp as a sword.

The sword pierced the heart, and it was like a tiger descending from the mountain. Although the spear in his hand was made of wood, it could produce a huge pressure at this moment. Even everyone on the high platform was very surprised.

"What kind of formation is this?" Su Dingfang showed a smile at the corner of his mouth, but there was a hint of disdain in it.

"This is the fish scale formation. This formation...uh" Jin Chunqiu's expression changed and turned red. At this time, how could he not feel the teasing meaning in Su Dingfang's words? You know, this fish scale formation was originally spread from the Central Plains.

What came out was that Su Dingfang was a general from the Central Plains. How could he not know the name of the Fish Scale Formation, but he pretended not to know the meaning of it so as not to embarrass Jin Chunqiu.

"All our captains and generals who are born in martial arts will learn various formations in martial arts and practice them to maturity." Su Dingfang said with a smile: "During the battle of Dingxiang, His Majesty was defeated by dozens of Turks.

Tens of thousands of troops were trapped in Dingxiang. The general led tens of thousands of cavalry to the rescue. Under the city of Dingxiang, they blocked the attack of hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops. It was because of the existence of the formation. With the existence of this formation, it could resist several times.

The above enemy's attack."

"General, what do you think of this Fish Scale Formation?" Jin Chunqiu hid his surprise and suddenly said with a smile: "The Central Plains' art of war is profound and profound, but we, the Silla people, are not bad either. The Fish Scale Formation in front of us is actually called the Silla Fish Scale Formation.

Lin Yiqi, the master of Silla's art of war, personally transformed it. Its power is far superior to the fish scale formation of the Celestial Dynasty. Of course, the Central Plains' art of war has long abandoned this formation, so we, the people of Silla, are accustomed to calling this formation the fish scale formation.

, but the general misunderstood."

"Silla Fish Scale Formation?" Su Dingfang had a strange smile on his face after hearing this. He looked at Jin Chunqiu seriously, but saw that Jin Chunqiu's face was calm, and there was even a trace of pride in his expression. His expression couldn't help but move.

, turned around and looked towards the square, and stared at it carefully for a long time, but still could not see the difference between this formation called Silla Fish Scale Formation and the fish scale formation in the Central Plains.

"Yes, in Silla, there is such a saint as Confucius. It is simply unimaginable." Jin Chunqiu looked pure and serious. He shook his head and said to Su Dingfang: "Generals fighting on the battlefield must not know who Confucius is.

Now, don’t worry about it.”

"Is Confucius from Silla?" Su Dingfang opened his mouth and looked at Jin Chunqiu. However, he had never seen the other person look so serious, as if he was really serious, and his face suddenly showed a look of dumbfounding. Su Dingfang was a general, but he

It’s not like he didn’t even know who Confucius was. At this time, Su Dingfang realized why the fish scale array in front of him was called the Silla fish scale array. He had seen shameless ones, but never seen such shameless ones. What he didn’t know was that if

Emperor Zhenguan was definitely not surprised when he came here. No wonder Gao Li Bangzi liked to be so shameless. It turned out to be hereditary.

"Of course I am from Silla." Jin Chunqiu replied without thinking, without any trace of shame on his face.
