Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 265: Steady First

When the generals on the starting line heard this sentence, they looked at each other. From each other's eyes, they saw a strong fighting spirit. Yes, it was fighting spirit. This was no longer an ordinary competition, it was about

Being promoted to an official position is a great opportunity to gain face. As for after defeating Lu Bu, they believe that Lu Bu will pay more attention to it rather than embarrass him.

Dian Wei curled his lips disdainfully. Others didn't know how powerful Lu Bu was, but he knew it very well. No one as strong as him could guarantee that he could beat Lu Bu in such a competition. Lu Bu went to the military camp every day, except to visit the soldiers.

In addition to the soldiers, he also trained himself. He also watched Lu Bu's archery, swordsmanship, and halberd skills the most. From the initial shock to the gradual adaptation, it can be said that Lu Bu had more than half of the items that were tested in the army.

They can all get first place.

"Isn't this tailor-made for me, general? Now I am a captain, and after being promoted two levels, I will be a general." Guan Yu counted on his fingers, but unexpectedly Dian Wei slapped him again.

"If you can surpass my lord, I will wash your clothes for the rest of your life." Dian Wei said: "And don't call yourself a general in front of me in the future, otherwise I will beat you every time you see me."

Guan Yu shrank his neck. In the army, the person he was most afraid of was Dian Wei. When he reached the rank of captain or above, who didn't care about his own actions? Who would be like Dian Wei, who would hit people at every turn, but why?

Dian Wei's force value is too high, making people unable to resist.

The hope of overtaking Lu Bu in the twenty-mile run seems slim.

After starting to run, many generals in the army could not restrain their excitement and kept accelerating. In their excitement, they even forgot the previous rhythm. Soon, more than a dozen figures appeared in front of Lu Bu.

A smile appeared on the corner of Lu Bu's mouth, and he took steps towards the distance.

With a height of nine feet, if he took two steps, it would take an ordinary general three steps to catch up, so it was relatively easy for Lu Bu to catch up with the general in front.

The generals participating in the competition also worked hard. In order to catch up with Lu Bu, they kept accelerating. In their opinion, Lu Bu, as the Bingzhou Shepherd, must not have as much training time as them. If things go on like this, it will be difficult to maintain physical condition. It is not impossible to surpass Lu Bu.

possible.

But reality slapped them mercilessly. After Lu Bu caught up with them, he widened the distance even further. Many generals had given up hope. In their eyes, the figure not far away was

So far out of reach.

Guan Yu breathed heavily and tried his best to calm his breathing. Apart from admiration, it was more of a stimulation to himself. Although he usually behaved carelessly, in his heart he longed for Lu Bu's approval more than anyone else. Although he was with Lu Bu,

We drank together in Chang'an City, but he never said that it was just because his achievements were not worth bragging about. This also led to him putting in more effort than others in daily training. Chen Dao was already a general in his own right.

, how could he be willing to do so?

After easily taking the first place, it did not surprise Lu Bu. The second place was indeed Dian Wei. But what surprised Lu Bu was that Guan Yu actually took the fifth place. You know, this is a competition between generals. Guan Yu

Yu is just a school captain, and it is not easy to win fifth place in a competition of this level.

Lu Bu stepped forward and patted Guan Yu on the shoulder, smiling and saying, "Not bad."

Guan Yu was unsteady and almost fell to the ground. He had risked his life in the competition just now.

"Many, thank you, General." Guan Yu felt his fatigue disappear in an instant, and his heart was filled with joy. Being able to get Lu Bu's approval, all the hard work he put in was not in vain.

After the twenty-mile race, Lu Bu did not participate in the remaining events. With him in the archery competition, no one in the army could win first place, and the same was true for other events.

This competition had a far-reaching impact on the Bingzhou Army. It promoted a group of lower-level soldiers. The ripples caused in the army can be imagined. Like Zhao Wu, who was directly promoted to the rank of captain, which can be said to be

The person with the fastest promotion in official position in the Bingzhou Army.

The standing strength of the Bingzhou Army is set at 50,000, and the number of reserve troops has also reached 20,000. Once there is a vacancy in the army, outstanding soldiers will be selected from the reserve troops. The reserve troops do not need to be like the standing army.

Generally speaking, you only need to train for half a day every day, and the rest of the time is free.

One can imagine the burden that the increase in the army has brought to the state pastoral government. If it were not for the huge profits from the winery and paper mill, Bingzhou would have been unable to make ends meet. In fact, the profits from wine and paper were beyond Lu Bu's imagination.

, he underestimated the people of this era's love for fine wine. They would rather eat without meat than without wine. Literati like to drink, and so are the generals in the army.

The spirits produced in Jinyang are extremely popular all over the world. This has also led to many aristocratic families who rely on the wine business to survive, and they have to turn to Jinyang to buy wine. Businessmen traveling in and out of Jinyang need help.

, indirectly promoted the prosperity of Jinyang. The Xianbei people on the grassland who are most happy to do business in Jinyang are the Xianbei people on the grassland. Compared with the Han people, the Xianbei people can be described as alcoholic, especially in the cold winter.

, drank a sip of strong wine, and had a good sleep, just thinking about it made people feel comfortable. If they didn't have money, they could exchange it with supplies. After these supplies arrived in Bingzhou, they in turn obtained money and food from merchants.

After the affairs in the army came to an end, Lu Bu made a special trip to Jinyang Academy. Apart from the affairs of the army, what he cared about most was Jinyang Academy and the craftsman's workshop. This was also where he invested the most energy. Bingzhou lacked governance.

Local officials, this became even more prominent after the Bingzhou area expanded.

It is no longer uncommon in the Han Dynasty for aristocratic families not to serve the prefectural pastoral office of Bingzhou. Except for those poor and down-and-out aristocratic families who need support, they will choose to go to Bingzhou. Families with strong family assets will naturally disdain Bingzhou.

The rejection of Bingzhou can also be imagined. No aristocratic family is willing to accept a master who will compromise their interests. This is also the current situation of the Han Dynasty. More resources are firmly held in the hands of aristocratic families. Ordinary people want to rise.

, we must rely on them, such as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and they are no exception.

In comparison, Bingzhou seems a bit unique.

Jinyang Academy can be said to be the hope for the future of Bingzhou. Without talents, the territory gained from war horses cannot be governed by generals on war horses. There are only a few generals in the Bingzhou army who are truly capable of both civil and military skills.
