generation hero

Less than a month before Kunyou Lake's military exercise, the students in the lecture hall began to practice rowing.

The water exercise usually has ships forming a team, two armies fighting and so on.

Students in the Martial Arts Hall cannot participate in large-scale ship battles, because the ship soldiers have been trained for a long time, the requirements are strict, and they also pay attention to tacit cooperation. It is too late for students to join at this time.

So they can only participate in small boat drills.

In the navy, there is a small boat called a flying boat, which is used to detect the enemy’s situation and land on the ship. A flying boat can only accommodate dozens of people. There is an event in the military exercise called the flying boat to win the prize. It is a bit like a dragon boat race. .

King Huan asked Amu to organize the students into the flying boat team of the Shangjun Navy, and cooperate with the Shangjun Navy to train the flying boats.

Twenty students and Shangjun Army mixed together to form five fleets, Yuan Tang, Fengcong, Su Zicong and another student happened to be in the first team, and He Lifang went to the other boat.

Amu also participated in the flying boat to win the lottery. He was in the same team as Yuantang Fengcong, and divided up the players. Amu took the lead to jump on the flying boat with a paddle, and waved: "Come on."

Feng Cong got on the boat, turned around and pulled Yuan Tang onto the boat.

During the water battle, some weapons and shields will be placed on the wooden boat, and there is room for two people to stand side by side on the boat.Amu probably talked about some key points of controlling the boat and holding the oars. In general, the flying boat team mainly depends on cooperation. Who should be assigned to hold the oars, who should hold the shield and the spear? If the destination is disturbed by attacks from enemy warships and airships, it is necessary to cooperate in attack or defense to avoid casualties as much as possible.

The organization and training of the fleet has something in common with the infantry. The soldiers on the battleship are generally sailors on board, and they can fight on foot when they disembark.

Of course, the requirements for winning the lottery are not so complicated, mainly depends on the speed of the boat.

Amu's eyes swept over the team members, Feng Cong gave Yuan Tang a push and said, "Let him be the drummer."

Yuan Tang was a little nervous for a moment, Amu's eyes fell on Yuan Tang, after thinking about it for a while, he nodded and said, "It's just you, you are small, and you don't have enough strength, let you waste a place as a rower."

Yuan Tang stared at Amu first, then turned to stare at Feng Cong, the other team members couldn't help laughing.

Amu assigned each person's position again, and began to talk about drum beats and the rhythm of rowing, and practice once after each lecture. Feng Cong acted as the oarsman and sat in the last row on the left, and Su Zibin sat in front of him.

Once Su Zibin made a mistake in his rhythm and accidentally hit Feng Cong on the arm with his spear. He apologized to Feng Cong tremblingly, and Feng Cong gave a cold "hmm".

Except for some insignificant episodes, the training in the afternoon was basically smooth.

After Nanxia pushed the border northward to Zerou, Jiyang didn't have many ships left behind. Yuantang saw some ships in Jiyang, and was very interested in Shangyun and the fleet of the capital, so he pestered Amu to ask.

Su Zibin was also a little curious, and said: "I heard that the largest building boat has five floors, can carry thousands of troops, and the boat sails in the river like a beast coming out of the water. Is there really such a big boat?" Su Zibin's father's town is closer to the north. It is not as convenient as the south, and there are not many boats used.

Feng Cong said: "Although the building ships can carry troops, they are too big to be mobilized. In wartime, fighting ships need to be coordinated."

Yuan Tang became even more curious: "Will the Shangyun Navy sail to Kunyou Lake this time?"

Amu said: "There are several ships participating in the performance, and most of the ships are still stationed in Shangyun."

Yuantang felt a little regretful, and Amu said again: "You want to see the ship? You won't be able to see it until the day of the military exercise. There are hundreds of warships in the fleet of the guards around the capital, and their camps are stationed outside the city. It's not easy to go in, if it's in Shangyun, wrap it on my Amu, let you see enough."

Sweaty all over in the afternoon, Feng Cong and Yuan Tang went back to their residence, took off their robes and jumped into the bucket. When they came out of the shower, there were already two servants from the palace standing outside the door, one of them was the manager of the Queen Mother. A person with a white face and beardless, smiling face to greet people, the queen mother called him A Tao, and everyone else called him Tao A Jian.

Seeing Feng Cong, Tao Ajian greeted him first with a smile: "Greetings to Your Highness, the Queen Mother has been very concerned about His Highness since he left the palace, and specially asked this slave to come and see His Highness, and send some things along the way."

Feng Cong showed an indifferent expression again, and pointed to the room, letting Tao A Jian do whatever he wanted.Tao Ajian first waited for the queen mother to care about Feng Cong's life in Taixue, and then said: "The queen mother heard that His Highness chose martial arts, and asked if His Highness would send some people to accompany you to practice martial arts. , or directly select one or two from the palace guards?"

Feng Cong was a little impatient, tilted his head towards Yuantang, and said, "Didn't you already choose one, the others don't want it."

Tao A Jian took a look at Yuan Tang, but did not persuade him, nodded, and said: "The Empress Dowager asked the servant to tell Your Highness that Lord Shen will be coming to Beijing soon, and His Highness can invite Lord Shen to a gathering."

Feng Cong paused when he heard that, but didn't say anything.

Tao Ajian said again: "The Queen Mother misses Her Highness, although the imperial education is good, Your Highness should not forget the Queen Mother, often go back to the palace to see the Queen Mother."

"Is this what the Queen Mother said?" Feng Cong asked.

Tao A Jian hurriedly lowered his head: "This old slave talks too much, don't blame your Highness."

Before leaving, Tao Ajian taught Feng Cong another post, saying that three days later, Yun Yang Hou Wang Qu hosted a banquet and invited Feng Cong to a small garden outside the city.

After Tao A Jian left, Yuan Tang said: "Sir Brother Shen is going to Beijing, that's great, will he also come to Taixue for classes?"

Shen Jingxuan looked like a top student at first glance, and being a classmate with him must be a lot of pressure.

Feng Cong said: "Tai Xue can't accommodate your big Buddha, Third Brother Shen. Their Shen family has ethnology, and there are hundreds of students in the school, so they don't need to go to school outside. Shen Jingxuan will have good luck going to Beijing this time."

"Ok?"

Feng Cong smiled meaningfully: "He came to Beijing to be an official, and the Shen family might be going to court again."

"!"

Feng Cong stretched, fell sideways, pillowed on Yuantang's lap, and said with a smile, "Little general, please be happy, the Shen family is your family's backer, if Shen Jingxuan can get ahead, I will definitely make you a great general in the future." .”

"!!!" Yuan Tang looked ignorant, the world was changing too fast and he couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

Feng Cong crossed his legs and lay quite comfortably. He patiently explained to Yuan Tang: "The Queen Mother has been able to control the court all these years because of Wang Shangshu inside and uncle's support outside. After the uncle leaves the town, the Wang family will definitely fight for outsiders. For the military power of the town, send the Wang family's children or the same party out of the town. It's just that the Wang family has relied on Wang Shangshu and the queen mother for support these years, and they still lack some support if they want to fight with my uncle and the Xiao family."

"So the Queen Mother will support the Shen family and let Third Brother Shen become an official?"

Feng Cong said: "I'm afraid it's not just the Shen family. My uncle asked my uncle to leave the town. There must be someone who can leave the town. Most likely, he is Xiao Shan's brother. He is determined to win. The Wang family wants to compete with them. It is not so easy."

Yuan Tang nodded, Shen Jingxuan just came to Beijing to be an official, no matter how good his family background was, he couldn't be a prime minister right away, but the Shen family has always been well-known, at least it can overwhelm the Xiao family in terms of prestige.

Feng Cong took a look at the gold-painted paper, then threw it away.

"Don't you want to go?" Yuan Tang said.

"Trouble!" Feng Cong pinched the bridge of his nose.

Yuan Tang picked up the paper and looked at it for a while, Yun Yanghou Wang Qu was the grandnephew of the Empress Dowager, Wang Shangshu's nephew, Wang Shangshu had no son, Wang Qu was the eldest son of the Wang family, and the banquet was just a small banquet for relatives and friends. By the river, not far from Taixue.

If it's really an ordinary banquet, you can refuse it if you don't want to go. The queen mother specially asked the servants to come over, which meant that Feng Cong must go.

Sure enough, three days later, the Empress Dowager sent a carriage from the palace early in the morning to take Feng Cong to the royal family for a banquet.

The Wang family didn't give Yuantang a message, and besides, Yuantang has a filial piety, although he has studied and served as an attendant, it is not suitable to participate in this kind of pure entertainment banquet.

Yuan Tang planned to wait for Feng Cong to come back at Taixue. Before leaving, Feng Cong grabbed Yuan Tang to change his clothes and said, "You go too."

Wang Qu was less than 30 years old, and he also had a pair of red phoenix eyes. His appearance was not outstanding, he could only be called upright and elegant. He personally greeted Feng Cong outside the gate with a friendly smile. He was not surprised to see Yuan Tang coming together. Yuan Tang posted.

To be honest, even if Yuan Tang was not in the filial period, he couldn't join in the excitement of the Wang family. Wang Qu didn't invite many people, and those who came and went were either from the clan or from the high family.

Wang Qu invited Feng Cong to the banquet, while Yuan Tang was led by Wang's servants to an elegant house in the courtyard.

This mountain garden of the Wang family is famous as Jianxiu Garden, half of which is landscape and half of which is a terrace, which is full of lush plants. The whitewashed wall is squeezed in the middle, and only half of the wall and a wisp of green tiles are exposed, extending to the edge of a wooden bridge.

Behind Yashe is a frame of wisteria blooming incomparably gorgeously. The flower branches are used as curtains, covering half of the window.

There was music and laughter from across the water, Yuan Tang sat in the elegant house for a while, had lunch, was really bored, and lay down on the back window looking at the flowers.

When he becomes a general and becomes famous, he will also build such a garden in Tanhu Villa, and then stay in the garden every day listening to songs and dancing, and stay at home and never go out.

Thinking about Yuantang, he fell asleep.

He woke up to the sound of someone walking across the wooden bridge.

The door was pushed open, and Wang Qu and a man with a square face entered the room with Feng Cong reeking of alcohol.

"Yuan Shidu," Wang Que said, "Your Highness is drunk."

The man with the square face put Feng Cong on the couch, and Yuan Tang went to help him.

Wang Qu introduced: "This is Li Jungong Zhan Fang, and this is Yuan Tang from the Yuan family of Ji Yang. Yuan Langjun is His Highness's attendant."

Yuan Tang was a little surprised that this was Li Jungong Zhan Fang.

Before coming to Beijing, Zhou Xianpei and him popularized science. The Zhan family is a wealthy family in Caizhou. The family has two generations of Caizhou governors and governors of the west, and they have controlled Caizhou for many years.At that time, the Shen family was in full swing in the imperial court, and the Zhan family was flourishing in Caizhou. Beisheng mobilized the army to divide into two groups. At that time, Zhan Fang's father was Zhan Fang's father, who led the Caizhou army to stop Beicheng's army.

Although the Zhan family also produced strong generals, their family status is much higher than that of the Yuan family. The Zhan family used to be in the center, and later came out of Caizhou to manage for two generations, which can be regarded as a high position and weight.

Later, due to the change of the head of the family, the Zhan family withered and no longer served as the governor of Zhengxi. The old officials and old friends of the Zhan family were still all over Caizhou.

I heard from Zhou Xianpei that Zhan Fang's uncle was an official in the court, and his official position was not obvious. Zhan Fang had never been an official since his father passed away, so Yuantang was a little strange when he heard Wang Qu's introduction. Why did he come to Beijing at this time? Could it be that he was also an official in Beijing? of?

There were not many people at the Wang family's small banquet this time. I had never heard of how close the Zhan family was to the Wang family. At the very moment when King Huan was about to leave the town, Wang Qu invited Zhan Fang here, which really made people wonder.

Zhan Fang only nodded slightly, and his eyes didn't stay on Yuan Tang much.Wang Qu had other guests, so he called his maidservant to fetch water to serve, and left with Zhan Fang.

As soon as the maid approached, Feng Cong closed his eyes and waved, Yuan Tang said, "I'll do it."

The maid brought sober tea and water basin silk handkerchief, Feng Cong seemed to feel that the maid's footsteps were too loud, so he turned over impatiently, the maid looked terrified, Yuan Tang simply let the maid go out.

Yuan Tang wet the handkerchief and wiped Feng Cong's face and neck when his hands were suddenly grabbed. Feng Cong didn't have any drunken eyes and was looking at Yuan Tang and smiling.

"you……"

Feng Cong winked at him, Yuan Tang fell silent.

Feng Cong straightened up from the couch, took a sip of the hangover tea on the table, put down the cup and began to look around, he leaned out of the flower window, stretched his long legs, sat on the window, and stretched out his hand to Yuantang.

The drooping wisteria reflected his smiling face, and the soft petals fell on his shoulders and skirt.

Yuan Tang: "?"

Feng Cong reached out to grab Yuan Tang and led Yuan Tang out of the window.

The wisteria flowers on the top of the head were trembling by the wind, Feng Cong pulled Yuan Tang through the flower stand, and stepped on the carefully planted vegetation behind the elegant house without mercy.

Yuan Tang: "..."

When they came to a big tree on the courtyard wall, Feng Cong took off his robes embroidered with gorgeous patterns, threw away the jade ornaments, and nimbly climbed up the tree trunk, and then brought Yuan Tang up.

Yuan Tang's heart beat fast.

Feng Cong jumped out of the wall first, then opened his arms and said to Yuan Tang, "Come down, I'll pick you up."

Seeing what he said, Yuan Tang also tore off the clothes that hindered his movement, and slid from the wall to the ground in twos and threes.

Feng Cong laughed softly, and ran away with Yuan Tang.

After leaving the back wall of Jianxiu Garden for a long time, the two of them stopped, and Yuan Tang gasped and asked, "Where are you going? Aren't you drunk?"

"Pretend to be drunk." Feng Cong said.

No way, I'm going to run away, it's too thrilling and exciting, and Yuantang is worried that he didn't bring any money when he came out. From Nanxia to Beicheng, there are thousands of rivers and mountains, how can he go without money.

For some reason, Yuan Tang believed in Feng Cong so much that he didn't know where Feng Cong was going to take him, so he wasn't afraid at all, and felt that Feng Cong would not harm him.

Feng Cong took Yuantang to a nearby village, exchanged a piece of jade jewelry left behind for a mule cart, and then drove Yuantang to the country road in the mule cart.

Yuantang's curiosity was about to explode: "Where are we going, where are we going?"

Feng Cong put on the broken straw hat left in the car, held a straw in his mouth, but didn't say where he was going, and was annoyed by Yuan Tang's questions, so he said, "You'll know when you get there."

There are few people on the small roads in the country, and only when passing through the villages are there people. Feng Cong sat in front of the car and drove. Wildflowers were thrown at them.Feng Cong took the girl's flowers but didn't answer. He waved to the girl with a playful smile, turned around and put the flowers on Yuan Tang's head, and was beaten by Yuan Tang.

When the setting sun was setting, Feng Cong led Yuan Tang up a dirt hill. The mule was tied to the bottom of the hill. The dirt hill was not high, and Yuan Tang was full of question marks.

At the top of the mountain, Feng Cong said, "Look!"

The river is rushing down the mountain, and dozens of ships break through the shining golden scales and race to sail. The ships are lined up. At the front is a small light boat, followed by fighting ships and building boats. The white sails are like open sails. The feathered wings spread out in a golden light.

Yuan Tang watched with excitement, and the fleet gradually sailed to the other side of the mountain.

"The Water Army Camp is near here. My father brought me here before." Feng Cong said loudly, "Didn't you say you wanted to see the boats?"

The light of the setting sun coated Feng Cong's body with gold, illuminating his face and pupils.

"I want to see it," Yuan Tang said, "It's really spectacular!" At this moment, Yuan Tang's heart was also lapped by the waves, and he was scorched by the golden light.
