Can I get to the other side?
Chapter 493: Martial Arts Competition! Zhao Yun vs. Huang Zhong!
"Zhongshu Ling...what happened?"
Lu Su asked, casting his doubtful eyes on Zhuge Liang.
It's not time to get off work yet, and Sima Yi actually left early. The sun is really rising in the west.
"It should be to go to the Imperial College."
Zhuge Liang said helplessly that Sima Yi always wanted to compare with him. Now that he heard that he was invited by Guo Jia to teach at the Imperial Academy, he must have felt very unbalanced.
Now I must go to the Imperial College and actively ask to be a lecturer.
But that's okay. When he was chatting with Guo Jia before, the other party complained to him that he lacked manpower, and Sima Yi was just right.
Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang asked Lu Su: "Zijing, do you want to consider going to the Imperial College as a lecturer?"
"Huh? Me?"
Lu Su pointed at himself, then waved his hand and said: "I have little talent and little knowledge. How can I be a lecturer in the Imperial College? Let's forget it."
"But I think Yang Changshi is very suitable."
Zhuge Liang looked at Yang Xiu again.
Yang Xiu was still deep in thought at this time. After hearing this, he came back to his senses and refused the same: "Brother Zijing thinks highly of me. I can't bear such a heavy responsibility."
Just kidding, if he went to the Imperial Academy to teach, tomorrow he, the Yang family, would be shunned by all the other major families.
By then, the Yang family would no longer be able to gain a foothold among the noble clan.
After all, he, the Yang family, is also a member of the noble clan, and he is still one of the best. As the future successor of the Hongnong Yang family, if he openly joins the Imperial College, it will be equivalent to supporting the emperor to control the promotion channels.
What does this make other aristocratic families think?
Although Zhuge Liang is also a noble family, his family can only be regarded as a middle-lower class at best. Their background is not deep and it does not represent anything.
Besides, there is no comparison between him and Zhuge Liang in terms of being favored by the Holy Spirit. The other person was clearly appointed by the emperor as the successor of Guo Jia and Jia Xu in the future.
"Oh well."
Zhuge Liang didn't force him. This kind of thing was all voluntary, and forced recruitment would easily be criticized.
Soon the three of them ended their chat.
Get into today’s work.
…
Liu Xie was not in the palace today, but came to the military camp outside the city to inspect, or rather watch.
Since he proposed the idea of reforming the imperial examination system that day, Jia Xu went back to think about it all night, and came over the next day to propose to him the establishment of a military examination.
Liu Xie was very surprised by this. He did not expect that Jia Xu could spontaneously think of martial arts. He had never mentioned it before.
The reasons given by Jia Xu are also very sufficient.
At present, the world is unified and the wars have ceased, but the army still has to maintain sufficient combat effectiveness to prepare for dangers that may arise at any time.
At the same time, it is also to provide a new promotion path for soldiers.
After all, in the military merit system, only when there is a war can one achieve military merit and be promoted to a noble title. But how can one earn military merit in a peaceful world?
Therefore, it is important for soldiers to have a way to be promoted, and the establishment of martial arts examinations can quickly select outstanding talents from the bottom, allowing the emperor to better control the army.
Regarding the suggestions put forward by Jia Xu, Liu Xie chose to adopt them because he actually had the same idea. After all, the cultivation of military talents is extremely important.
Nowadays, the Han Dynasty has Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and others, and it is true that they are like a cloud of fierce generals. However, Lu Bu is not young, and Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others will also grow old.
But the great Han Dynasty will continue to exist.
Therefore, a steady stream of talents is needed.
The martial arts examination did not have as many restrictions and obstacles as the imperial examination, and there was nothing to worry about, so preparations were quickly made after leaving the matter to Lu Bu and Zhang Liao.
Liu Xie came to the military camp today because he was invited by Lu Bu and Zhang Liao to watch the martial arts competition.
Outside Chang'an City, the Han army camp.
This martial arts competition was held in the southern suburbs of the school grounds. There were many people participating in the martial arts competition, all of them soldiers in the army.
In the future, martial arts may be open to people from all walks of life across the country, but for now it is just a trial, so it is only carried out in the military.
However, this does not affect the fierceness of the martial arts selection.
If you get a good ranking in the martial arts examination, you will be promoted and rewarded. There is simply nothing better than this in the world.
To earn military merit by going to the battlefield is to tuck your head in your trousers and lick blood from the knife edge, but the competition in the army is to point to the point, and no intentional killing is allowed.
Although there is also a risk of death.
But the risk is much lower than on the battlefield.
In addition, since the war has just subsided, the current Han army is basically elite soldiers who have experienced the war, so the ones selected must be the top elites!
Approximately more than 10,000 soldiers signed up to participate in this martial arts competition, but only the top 100 were selected, and different rewards were awarded depending on the ranking.
One can imagine how intense this competition will be.
At this time, there was a ring in the military camp.
There were two figures fighting fiercely.
One person is holding a spear and has a body as strong as a swimming dragon. The other person fighting with him is holding a big halberd and his movements are wide and powerful!
The two fought fiercely in the ring, and everyone in the audience held their breath, and no one dared to blink.
At this time, the two men were fighting fiercely.
In the stands not far away, Liu Xie, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and others were watching the competition between the two.
"Who are these two people? Their martial arts skills are quite good."
Liu Xie turned to Zhang Liao and asked curiously.
Zhang Liao took a look and then replied: "Your Majesty, the man holding the spear is named Liao Hua, and he is a horse archer."
"So far, he has won 48 games in a row without losing a single one."
"The other one is Wei Yan, a general of the Yizhou Army, and has won 43 games in a row. Now it depends on who can win."
"These two are the best among all the soldiers participating in the competition."
Zhang Liao's tone was full of praise. Both Liao Hua and Wei Yan performed very well in this competition.
"Wei Yan? Liao Hua?"
Hearing these two names, Liu Xie's interest in his heart became stronger. Sure enough, as long as the names can be left in the history books, there is no ordinary person.
This martial arts competition can actually select these two people from the thousands of troops, which is really a pleasant surprise.
"These two people are very good, and we should pay special attention to them."
Liu Xie reminded Zhang Liao.
"Yes!"
Zhang Liao clasped his fists in response.
Liu Xie watched for a while and saw that the two were still fighting hard, so he asked Lu Bu: "General, who do you think will win?"
Lu Bu was dozing off in the sun and almost fell asleep standing up, with saliva dripping from his mouth. He woke up suddenly after hearing Liu Xie's words.
"Ah? What?"
Liu Xie couldn't help but smile and asked again: "General, who do you think will win the two people competing on the stage?"
Lu Bu glanced at the two people on the stage and replied: "Your Majesty, the difference in strength between the two is not big, but Liao Hua's strength is obviously a little insufficient. I think Wei Yan has a better chance of winning."
After saying that, he immediately added: "But if I go up, even if the two of them are added together, they are not a match."
The tone was full of pride and arrogance.
Zhang Liao couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "You have to show off, right? Why are you competing with two pawns? If you have the ability, go compete with Zilong and General Huang."
"If you can defeat Zilong and General Huang together, I will consider you awesome."
Although Lu Bu is strong, he is not young anymore, and Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong are not much inferior to him in strength. If the two join forces, he will definitely not be able to beat them.
But facing Zhang Liao's provocation, Lu Bu didn't get angry this time. He just glanced at him and said, "Have you recovered from the wound I hit you last time?"
"You..."
This sentence directly broke Zhang Liao's defense, and his face flushed.
Liu Xie also found it funny.
It's normal for the two of them to quarrel or fight every two or three days, and he is used to it.
A correct version in 16-9-1 book-1 forum!
After taking a few glances at the situation in the field, he saw that there was still time for Liao Hua and Wei Yan to decide the winner, and suddenly a bold idea emerged in his mind.
"It's boring just to watch the soldiers compete. Why don't we select two generals to compete on stage?"
"The winner will be rewarded!"
Liu Xie said excitedly, and the eyes of the generals lit up as soon as he said this.
"Is there such a good thing?"
Lv Bu was overjoyed when he heard this, and raised his hand before anyone else could speak: "Your Majesty! I, I, I--"
Liu Xie glanced at him and added: "Duke Wen is not allowed to participate."
Just kidding, with Lu Bu's strength, is there any need to compete on the stage? No one can beat him without joining forces.
This sentence was like a bucket of cold water poured on his head, which directly extinguished Lu Bu's enthusiasm, and the whole person suddenly wilted like an eggplant hit by frost.
When the other generals heard that Lu Bu would not participate, they also became interested.
This is a good time to show off in front of His Majesty!
Zhang Liao looked at Lu Bu proudly, and said with a bow: "Your Majesty! I am willing to go on stage!"
After he finished speaking, Huang Zhong immediately stepped out and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go on stage to compete!"
Seeing Huang Zhong step out, Zhang Liao couldn't help but widen his eyes and couldn't help but say: "No, General Huang, why are you joining in the fun?"
"You are so old, and the stage is so dangerous, you'd better not go up."
In terms of direct confrontation, he can't beat Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong laughed and said: "My waist has been a little sore recently, so it's a good time to stretch my muscles. Du Xianghou, are you willing to practice with me?"
Zhang Liao was silent, neither agreeing nor refusing.
Zhao Yun stepped out and said, "General Huang, let me be your opponent. I have heard of your great reputation for a long time, and today I just want to ask for your advice."
"Oh? General Zilong is willing to be my opponent?"
Huang Zhong raised his eyebrows and laughed, "In that case, then come on!"
"Your Majesty, I would like to compete with the General of the Cavalry!"
Liu Xie also wanted to watch the fun, and he was also very curious about who was stronger between Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun, so now was a good time to compete.
"Okay! I agree!"
The other generals did not continue to speak, and they were also quite curious in their hearts. Who is the second most powerful general of the Han Dynasty today, Zhao Yun or Huang Zhong?
"Yes!"
After Liu Xie agreed, the two walked down the stands and climbed onto an empty arena on the side, which also attracted the attention of many other soldiers.
"Huh? Aren't those General Huoqi and Ganghou? Why are they on the stage?"
"This... are they planning to compete?"
"Really? General Zhao is one of the best generals. Can that old man beat him?"
"What old man? That's General Huang! He captured Sun Quan alive in the Battle of Hefei, defeated Wuhuan and killed Tadun. He is no weaker than General Huoqi!"
"These two are both unrivaled warriors, second only to the generals. I didn't expect them to compete. This time it will be interesting."
"General Zhao will definitely win!"
"It's hard to say. I think General Huang will win."
...
The many soldiers watching were very excited when they saw that the two generals actually came down to compete in person!
This is a duel between top warriors!
Where can you see it normally!
Soon many soldiers gathered around the arena where the two men climbed, and they were divided into two camps, cheering for Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun.
After Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong each took up their weapons, they stood on both sides of the arena, facing each other from a distance.
Huang Zhong's eyes showed a hint of fighting spirit, and he said to Zhao Yun from a distance: "General Zilong, I will not show mercy, be careful."
"Me too."
Zhao Yun weighed the wooden spear and said with a smile.
Huang Zhong didn't waste any words. After getting ready, he rushed towards the other party without hesitation!
Zhao Yun used a wooden spear, while Huang Zhong used a long-handled short knife. These were the weapons they were good at, and Zhao Yun had the upper hand in terms of weapons.
Although both of them used long weapons, the wooden spear was obviously longer.
Huang Zhong naturally knew where his disadvantages were, so he planned to get close to Zhao Yun and block the advantage of Zhao Yun's long spear!
Zhao Yun retreated to distance himself, and with a single hand, the wooden spear in his hand shook, and it slashed towards Huang Zhong's head from bottom to top!
Due to the great force, the softer spear shaft bent into a large arc.
Huang Zhong did not dare to underestimate the power of a spear, and raised the wooden shield in his hand to block it. Zhao Yun seized this opportunity to draw his spear back in an instant, and then shook a gorgeous spear flower, and went straight to Huang Zhong's throat in several spear shadows!
Shaking the spear flower is the basic skill of a spear user. The spear flower is not for beauty, but for people to see the angle of your spear!
Huang Zhong was also a veteran with rich combat experience. Facing Zhao Yun's fierce attack, he quickly adjusted his posture, dodged Zhao Yun's fierce attack, and took advantage of Zhao Yun's attack to attack his empty gate.
Zhao Yun had expected Huang Zhong's attack, so he was prepared. He instantly retracted his spear to block it, and pressed down the unsharpened spear blade, using the arc of the spear body to bypass Huang Zhong's shield and take his neck.
The two fought back and forth, and the fight was very exciting.
Even Liao Hua and Wei Yan, who were fighting not far away, stopped fighting and were attracted by the battle here.
Soon Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun fought for hundreds of rounds. The two were almost equal in martial arts, but Huang Zhong was still a little more experienced in combat, so Zhao Yun could not defeat him quickly, and was almost hit by Huang Zhong several times.
However, Zhao Yun also had an advantage, that is, he was young.
He was only in his twenties, and his strength was at its peak. After all, Huang Zhong was not young anymore, and he could not compare with young people like him.
Therefore, when the fight reached nearly 200 rounds, Huang Zhong's physical strength gradually ran out, and he was finally defeated by Zhao Yun who seized the flaw.
"Thank you, General Huang."
Zhao Yun held the spear with one hand, holding the wooden spear straight in his hand, and the unbladed spear tip was trembling, hovering in front of Huang Zhong's throat.
"General Huoqi has good spear skills."
Huang Zhong praised sincerely, wiped the Han Shui oozing from his forehead, chose to abandon the sword and admit defeat, and sighed: "I really can't refuse to admit my age."
If he was ten years younger, he could still fight Zhao Yun for hundreds of rounds, and the outcome would be even more obvious.
And under the ring, a thunderous cheer suddenly broke out!
