What happened in the inn today has been sent to Zhang Fu by the bad guys. Zhang Fu also laughed when he saw the information in his hand.
Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, Xu Chu, and Zhou Tai are all fierce generals, especially Zhao Yun and Gan Ning.
They are not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also very young, with a promising future.
"My lord, there are too many private sparring events during this period. Even if Li Cunxiao, Yang Zaixing, and Gao Chong lead the patrol, they can't stop them all."
Jia Xu is also very troubled by this. There are at least a dozen places where sparring takes place every day. Although no lives have been lost, there are still many injuries.
"This is indeed a problem!" Zhang Fu frowned. If many people were injured before the martial arts competition started, the number of people would inevitably decrease.
And there is no guarantee whether there are real talents who are injured and unable to participate in the martial arts competition.
After all, even peerless generals may be injured, but it is unlikely to prevent them. After all, if too many requirements are made, some people may withdraw from the competition.
Jia Xu smiled and said, "But, my lord, there are still several people who are quite strong, and the oldest is only in his early twenties, but it is obvious that they have first-class strength. This time, the martial arts competition is sure to win!"
The people Jia Xu mentioned are the ones whose names were recorded in Zhang Fu's intelligence. Zhang Fu is naturally very clear about their strengths.
With Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, and Gan Ning, this martial arts competition is sure to win, and the gold content of the top three is definitely very high.
And there are Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Xu Ding and others, so the gold content of the top ten is also acceptable.
Zhang Fu believes that this martial arts competition will become a legend, and the names of these people will be forever engraved in people's hearts.
Zhang Fu laughed and said, "Hahaha, Wenhe is right. This first martial arts competition is indeed very valuable, so the burden on your shoulders is still very heavy."
He continued, "If you are poached by the court's spies, you two will be blamed. Be careful, I will punish you severely!"
Jia Xu and Guo Jia answered in unison, "Please rest assured, my lord, we will definitely arrange this matter!"
They knew the importance of this martial arts competition. If the court's spies poached these talents, it would undoubtedly be a huge loss for Zhang Fu.
Therefore, they decided to strengthen the protection of these talents to ensure that they would not be tempted by the court's spies.
At the same time, they would also take measures to prevent the court's spies from approaching these talents to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Zhang Fu looked at everyone and asked with a smile: "What do you think?"
Yao Guangxiao said at this time: "But Lord, you need to meet them in advance and settle the matter of recruiting them first, otherwise if they are unwilling to join after receiving the reward, we will lose."
Yao Guangxiao's idea is very simple, that is, he wants to make sure whether these people are willing to join the Yellow Turban Army. If they say it in advance, then these people can directly join the Yellow Turban Army, and there is no need to worry about them taking the reward and running away.
Anyway, how to fight at that time is still up to the Lord, so if they can't reach an agreement in advance, they can also be arranged.
Zhang Fu shook his head. This kind of thing is completely unnecessary. After all, he is not short of talents. It is naturally a good thing if someone is willing to join, but if no one is willing to join, it is not a loss, and the reputation is established.
He said seriously: "This is totally unnecessary. Although this move can ensure that those who are willing to join will be ranked higher, it has lost its original intention. This martial arts competition must be fair, just and open."
Although the people who came are all famous generals that Zhang Fu likes, especially Zhao Yun, Gan Ning and Xu Chu, they are all top-notch generals in the future.
However, you can't force it. Everything still depends on fate. When fate comes, these generals will be yours, just like Dian Wei and Taishi Ci.
"My lord, what you said is that I am a little too shallow. I am not as far-sighted as you. Only in this way can they truly return to their hearts, instead of using those benefits to temporarily tie them down!" Yao Guangxiao said with admiration.
Zhang Fu smiled slightly after hearing this. He knew that Yao Guangxiao had over-understood his thoughts, but he flattered him very well.
At this time, Guo Jia and Jia Xu looked at each other and said in unison: "My Lord is wise!"
Zhang Fu could only nod his head and sighed in his heart: This seems to have nothing to do with my wisdom, but your flattery is really useful.
With a few people like this around, I can imagine everything I do and say. This feeling is so comfortable.
"By the way, what's the situation of the martial arts competition in the court?" Zhang Fu suddenly asked. He really wanted to know the news.
After all, this martial arts competition is in sharp contrast to the martial arts competition he held himself, like a mirror, reflecting two completely different attitudes and purposes.
Guo Jia smiled and replied: "As far as I know, more than 90% of the contestants are arranged by the three major factions of the eunuch party, the aristocratic family, and the military officers, and the remaining 10% are from those who are still loyal to the Han Dynasty. They have come from all over the country to participate in this event."
Zhang Fu nodded. This result has been expected from the beginning. This court is too stingy. It is already very good to be able to attract these diehard fans of the Han Dynasty.
Guo Jia continued, "However, although the number is relatively small, this is already the current scale. In addition, many people are coming from their respective families, and the final number is expected to exceed 5,000."
Hearing this number, Zhang Fu was shocked.
He didn't expect so many people to come to the martial arts competition, but most of them should be just filling the numbers, after all, there are more dandy children in the aristocratic families.
But at the same time, he also understood that no matter how many people there are, the key is quality rather than quantity.
If most of these people are just filling the numbers, then this competition will only become a farce and be ridiculed by the world.
Zhang Fu nodded slightly to show his approval. Such a result is acceptable.
He knows very well that even if there are a large number of people, if there is not enough strength, everything will come to nothing and become a laughing stock of the world.
Finally, Zhang Fu asked Guo Jia to pay close attention to the progress of the martial arts competition and record the names of all outstanding players.
He believed that among the thousands of contestants, there would definitely be some first-class warriors with outstanding strength who would stand out.
By understanding their background and strength, Zhang Fu hoped to better understand the strength of the various forces at present.
Yao Guangxiao said: "Although there is no need to contact them in advance, we still need to send people to Zhenzhen Factory in advance to prevent them from fighting privately and causing casualties. It is impossible to rush there in the first time just by patrolling."
"Daoyan's words make sense. Let's do this. I will go there in person and take charge. The rest depends on you!" Zhang Fu said without waiting for them to dissuade him. He took the Axe of Creation and the Xuanyuan Sword and strode away.
"Let's go and arrange it too. The government affairs of Taiyuan will be entrusted to Master Daoyan!" Guo Jia said and left with Jia Xu.
Yao Guangxiao shook his head helplessly and began to deal with government affairs. He was doing this kind of thing a few days ago, so he had long been accustomed to it.
.......
Early in the morning of the next day, Zhao Yun, Xu Chu and Xu Ding could not wait to gather together.
After the thrilling battle yesterday, their feelings for each other have been greatly sublimated. Now they only need a sworn brotherhood ceremony to officially become friends of life and death.
Xu Chu smiled and said to Zhao Yun enthusiastically: "Brother Zilong, your superb spear skills are really amazing! I think, even if you put it in the whole world, you can be ranked as a master!"
Zhao Yun responded modestly: "No, no, brother Xu, you are too kind. I just know the basics."
Xu Ding stood aside silently, but sighed in his heart.
He knew that although he had some accomplishments in martial arts, he was still slightly inferior to his two brothers.
Especially Zhao Yun's exquisite spear skills, which made him feel inferior.
And Xu Chu's divine power was even more beyond his reach.
Therefore, he chose to remain silent so as not to appear too conceited or inferior.
Xu Chu laughed loudly after hearing this: "Brother Zilong is too modest! Your spearmanship of "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" is simply amazing. I, Xu Chu, ask myself that I am far inferior to you in terms of skills."
Zhao Yun waved his hands quickly, saying that he was not worthy of it: "Xu Er Ge, you are joking. My spearmanship still has many shortcomings that need to be improved. Moreover, Xu Er Ge's divine power is even more amazing. I think, if one day I can be as powerful as Xu Er Ge, how great it would be!"
Xu Chu smiled, and a hint of pride flashed in his eyes: "Haha, brother Zilong, we each have our own strengths. But then again, your spearmanship is really amazing, and I, Xu Chu, admire you very much!"
Zhao Yun replied modestly: "Xu Er Ge, you are too kind. I just practice diligently on weekdays."
Xu Ding looked at the two people praising each other and couldn't help but say: "Both brothers are outstanding people, and their martial arts are outstanding.Gao Qiang, please give me more advice in the future. "
Xu Chu patted his chest and promised: "Brother, don't worry. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, the three of us brothers will fight together!"
Zhao Yun also smiled and nodded: "That's right, Brother Xu, don't worry. The three of us are together, what's there to be afraid of."
Xu Ding was grateful and saluted: "Thank you, brothers, hahaha."
The three smiled at each other and then began to talk about future plans. They looked forward to the challenges and opportunities of the next martial arts competition, hoping to make great military achievements in this chaotic world and go down in history.
On the other side were Gan Ning, Su Fei, Zhou Tai, and Jiang Qin. The other brothers of Jinfan Thief were arranged by Gan Ning in a manor outside the city.
This manor was rented by Gan Ning after arriving in Taiyuan. It is quite large and can accommodate seven or eight hundred people.
Gan Ning turned his head to look at Zhou Tai and asked: "Brother Zhou, how do you think you compare with those three people? "He knew that Zhou Tai must have watched the competition last night, otherwise there would not be that competition.
After a moment of contemplation, Zhou Tai replied: "This Zhao Yun has unparalleled spear skills, Xu Chu is born with supernatural power, and although Xu Ding seems ordinary, if I want to win, I can only be sure of winning against Xu Ding."
Jiang Qin and Su Fei looked at each other, revealing a trace of helplessness. They knew in their hearts that whether it was Zhao Yun, Xu Chu or Xu Ding, their strength was far superior to theirs.
Therefore, for Jiang Qin and Su Fei, the goal of this competition was to enter the top ten.
Now, Gan Ning, Zhao Yun, Zhou Tai, Xu Chu, and Xu Ding have each occupied a seat, which means that there are only five places left in the top ten.
Jiang Qin and Su Fei believed that as long as they went all out, they might have a chance to win a place.
Gan Ning laughed after hearing this: "Brother Zhou is too modest. Who can compare with your strength? "
Gan Ning has been known for his bravery and fearlessness since he was young. He once dominated the Yizhou area and no one dared to compete with him. Although he is not yet twenty years old, his arrogance is already revealed.
Zhou Tai and Gan Ning fought for dozens of rounds and it was difficult to determine the winner. His strength has been recognized by Gan Ning.
Zhou Tai just smiled and shook his head, saying: "The result can only be known after the competition. If you boast here and get defeated at the critical moment, wouldn't it be asking for trouble?"
Zhou Tai has never liked the style of exaggeration, and pays more attention to seeking truth from facts.
At this time, Su Fei on the side suddenly looked up and suggested: "Why don't we go and compete first?"
Jiang Qin immediately agreed: "In this way, we can understand the true strength of the opponent in advance, formulate targeted strategies, and perhaps get a better ranking in the competition. "
Gan Ning and Zhou Tai also thought it made sense, but they still needed to discuss how to invite them to compete.
......
"Hey, I saw your competition yesterday. I wonder if you can come out and fight with me?" Seeing that no one was talking, Gan Ning simply gave up and invited them to compete. Maybe being straightforward would be more effective.
"Okay!" Xu Ding was the first to speak. The day of the competition was coming soon. Xu Ding felt that his two brothers had the hope of entering the top ten, so they couldn't expose too much, and he didn't care about it.
"Okay!" Gan Ning saw that someone agreed, and he swung his knife and chopped it up.
Xu Ding frowned and thought to himself: "This guy actually sneaked up, it's really hateful. But this is exactly what I want, it can let me see how powerful he is. "Thinking of this, Xu Ding drew his sword to resist.
The two fought back and forth, neither giving in.
Gan Ning's swordsmanship was sharp, and each sword made a whistling sound, which made people change color.
And Xu Ding's swordsmanship seemed more stable, and each sword brought a powerful force, which resolved Gan Ning's offensive one by one.
As time went by, Gan Ning gradually found that the man in front of him did not seem as easy to deal with as he imagined.
Although his moves were simple, they contained infinite changes, and each move could turn danger into safety.
Moreover, the opponent's momentum was getting stronger and stronger, like an unshakable mountain, making him Feeling unprecedented pressure.
On the other hand, Xu Ding became more and more excited as the fight went on.
He found that Gan Ning's strength was indeed not to be underestimated. Each of his swords contained great power, forcing him to go all out.
He secretly thanked himself for not underestimating his opponent, otherwise he would have been defeated long ago.
After the two sides fought for more than 30 rounds, Gan Ning finally found a flaw and slashed at Xu Ding's shoulder.
Xu Ding quickly dodged sideways, but his clothes were still cut by Gan Ning's blade, revealing the armor inside.
Seeing this, Gan Ning knew that he had gained an advantage, so he attacked more fiercely.Xu Ding gradually felt powerless, and the knife in his hand became heavier and heavier.
Finally, under Gan Ning's strong attack, the knife in Xu Ding's hand was knocked out and fell to the ground.
Xu Ding sighed, shook his head and said, "I lost. Brother Gan's martial arts are indeed better than mine. I admit defeat."
Gan Ning sheathed the knife and said to Xu Ding with a smile, "Haha, Brother Xu is too modest. In fact, the gap between the two of us is not that big. If we continue to fight, the outcome is unpredictable."
Xu Ding nodded, then he patted the dust off his body and turned around to sit back.
"Hehe, you dare to sneak attack my big brother, take my knife!" Xu Chu roared, his whole body burst out with momentum, and the long knife in his hand slashed at Gan Ning like a lightning.
His eyes were full of anger, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with Gan Ning's sneak attack on Xu Ding just now.
Gan Ning seemed to have expected Xu Chu to attack. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a disdainful smile.
He quickly swung his sword to block, and the blades made a crisp sound when they intersected.
Gan Ning's swordsmanship was like a storm, and each sword was fierce, and he had a fierce duel with Xu Chu.
The battle between the two was extremely fierce, and the people around them retreated to avoid being affected.
They stared with wide eyes and watched this thrilling battle nervously.
Xu Chu's strength was amazing, and each sword contained great power, but Gan Ning was extremely fast, and he could always cleverly avoid Xu Chu's attack, and with a fierce counterattack, Xu Chu was unable to defend.
As time went on, Gan Ning gradually gained the upper hand.
His swordsmanship became more and more skilled, and his offensive became more and more fierce.
Although Xu Chu was extremely brave, he gradually fell into a passive position under Gan Ning's suppression. Gan Ning's face showed a proud look, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.
However, at this moment, the situation suddenly changed.
Xu Chu roared, and his aura suddenly burst out. The long sword in his hand slashed at Gan Ning like a flash of lightning.
Gan Ning quickly waved his sword to block, but found that his strength was not enough to withstand Xu Chu's attack.
His body was shaken and retreated repeatedly, and the long sword in his hand almost slipped out of his hand.
Gan Ning was shocked. He didn't expect Xu Chu's strength to be so strong that he was not his opponent.
Gan Ning's eyes flashed with resentment, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Xu Chu, I underestimated you!" After that, he turned around and left, not daring to fight anymore.
Xu Chu looked at Gan Ning's departing back, snorted coldly, and did not chase him.
"Alas, second brother, you are a little impulsive. There is no need to expose too much of your strength. Although Gan Ning lost a move now, it was also because of physical exhaustion."
"Now it's good. Originally, it was possible to win in the martial arts competition, but now it's hard to say who will win and who will lose. They will definitely target you."
Xu Ding was very worried. Originally, his second brother Xu Chu's strength was firmly in the top three, but now his strength has been basically exposed. It's hard to say whether he can still enter the top three.
"Hehe, brother, don't worry. I'm not afraid of being targeted. Just for my strength, it's easy to enter the top three." Xu Chu was very confident. Gan Ning tested him, and he also tested Gan Ning's strength.
It can be said that the only one who can be called his opponent now is the Zhao Yun brother sitting next to him. Anyway, it doesn't matter who wins the championship.
Xu Ding sighed and began to invite Xu Chu and Zhao Yun to drink.
As for the waiter, no one could afford to offend him here, so he could only quietly start to clean up the place where the fight had just taken place.
......
After they finished the competition, another group of people appeared in the inn, one of whom was also a young man wearing a white robe and holding a silver spear.
Seeing this scene, Li Tong couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Uncle and nephew, do you think we have a chance? I'm afraid there will be thousands of people participating this time!" He knew that although he had some skills, he couldn't help but feel a little uncertain in the face of so many competitors.
Chen Dao seemed very confident. He smiled and comforted: "Brother Li, don't worry. With our strength, even if we can't get the top three, we still have a chance to get the top ten."
He had considerable confidence in his and Li Tong's martial arts, and believed that as long as they performed at their normal level, they should be able to achieve good results.
Both of them were rangers in the Yuzhou area, especially Li Tong, who had a very loud reputation in Yuzhou, so he attracted a group of Jianghu rangers to follow him.
Chen Dao, on the other hand, heard of Li Tong's reputation and came to participate in the competition with him.
Li Tong felt much more relaxed after hearing what Chen Dao said, and said with a smile: "Haha, I feel relieved with your words.. As long as one of us can enter the top ten, that's enough. "
For Li Tong, he didn't have too high expectations. He came here just to join the Yellow Turban Army, so it would be fine if he ranked a little higher.
Li Tong then added: "But this time, I met a lot of people I know at the martial arts competition, especially almost all the rangers in Hebei came, which is still a bit troublesome."
They are all in the martial arts world, so Li Tong knows the strength of those people very well. Even if they are not as good as himself, their strength is also very good.
Chen Dao nodded. It is naturally a good thing for powerful characters to appear. Chen Dao still wants to challenge the masters.
When he was in Yuzhou, Chen Dao had no opponents, so this time he came to challenge the masters and then find out his own shortcomings.
"Waiter, bring a few jars of good wine and some signature dishes, mainly meat dishes!" Li Tong took Chen Dao and others to find an empty seat and sat down.
