Three Kingdoms

Hangu Pass.

Fei sneaked to Hangu and received information about Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie from Guanzhong. Of course, Huang Chengyan also expressed his intention to borrow these two generals. One was that Zhang Lie was not fully recovered from his injuries and was inconvenient to trek, and the other was It may be necessary to send troops from Wuguan to coordinate...

My father-in-law is finally not satisfied with Wancheng alone!

Of course, this news also made Taishi Ci finally let go and breathe a sigh of relief. These days, although soldiers generally disregard life and death, some casualties can be reduced.

But let’s leave this matter aside for now, because Pang Tong is naturally coordinating in Guanzhong, so Fei Qian generally doesn’t need to worry too much. As for Zhang Liao, he has basically recovered from the shock of losing Zhang Chen, at least on the surface it seems so. But Fei Qian also knew that it was actually like a scar. Even though it had healed, when he accidentally saw it, he would still be reminded of the pain at that time.

In addition to these things, Fei Qian felt an unexpected gain, just like he accidentally bought a lottery ticket and actually won a big prize. This big prize was of course the arrival of Hu Chi.

Hu Chi, Xu Zhu.

Historical records indicate that Xu Zhu was eight feet tall, but from Fei Qian's point of view, he was not as tall as recorded, nor was he too short. It's just that because Xu Zhu is relatively strong, height is not the visual focus. Because if he is really eight feet tall, then in the Han Dynasty of the Three Kingdoms, when most people were malnourished and undersized, he would basically stand out among the crowd, which is very conspicuous.

When Cao Cao was attacking Ma Chao, Mr. Chen said that Ma Chao originally wanted to use his own force to assassinate Cao Cao in the name of talks, and heard about Xu Zhu's name, but failed to recognize Xu Zhu among the guards, and asked Cao Cao to point it out... …

If Xu Zhu was really superior to others, would he still use Cao Cao to point it out among the guards? Xu Zhu's characteristic is not that he is tall, but that he is strong.

Because he is strong, and it is impossible to have no fat on the skin like the bodybuilders of later generations, so he looks a little fat and stupid. Maybe this is the origin of tiger crazy?

Almost all of the masters of the Xu family brought by Xu Zhu were martial arts practitioners, and all of them were strong in stature.

Of course Fei Qian was happy, not only because of Xu Zhu's own abilities, but more importantly because Xu Zhu was an iconic Shandong figure who stayed at home.

Xun Chen, Xun You, and even Pang Tong were just people who came over, and their families were not in Fei Qian's territory. As for Xu Shu's mother, she had lessons from history. Very early on, Fei Qian suggested that Xu Shu welcome to Beidi. Guanzhong. As a descendant of the Shandong gentry, Xu Zhu was the first to take the initiative to bring his family with him.

Therefore, even if Xu Zhu's personal ability is not strong, he still has to spend a lot of money to buy bones and seal a relatively high position. But the problem is that these generals and soldiers in the army generally don't pay much attention to political factors. How many high-ranking generals are there? The soldiers at the middle and lower levels basically don't know much about it, so for Xu Zhu to have a certain influence in the army as soon as possible, the best way is to compete in martial arts.

Martial arts contest?

Ordinary soldiers were naturally very interested when they heard about it. After all, there are not many entertainment projects these days. Wrestling in the military is a commonly used entertainment to soothe nerves. However, for several generals, the meaning is different.

Taishi Ci was silent for a moment, stood up, raised his hands and said, "Well, how about you come and be the opponent of the strong man Xu?" 』

Taishi Ci is a smart man, far smarter than he looks on the outside.

Although Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie were forced to send troops due to the situation, this also caused Fei Qian to have to send troops, as well as the battle losses after sending troops. Whether these things are related to Taishi Ci, they are related, or they are not related, they are not related, but Taishi Ci cannot do nothing just because of this, so he guessed what Fei Qian wanted Xu Zhu to express, and then stood up , somewhat wanting to use his reputation to pave the way for Xu Zhu.

However, Fei Qian also guessed Tai Shici's intention, pondered for a moment, and agreed to Tai Shici's suggestion, but asked Huang Xu to get two sets of heavy armor for the two of them to put on.

The venue for the competition is in the school grounds inside Hangu Pass.

If it is a general competition, then it is enough to use wooden weapons to reach the point. But letting Taishi Ci and Xu Zhu use wooden weapons will somewhat restrict them from showing their abilities. After all, wooden weapons The blade is really the kind that stops when you click it. It will break after a strong parry...

On the other hand, if a real person is used, Fei Qian is a little worried about unnecessary damage. It's not that Fei Qian doesn't believe in the martial arts of the two people, but that he can't use probabilities and possibilities to prevent accidents. It's better to be fully prepared than to leave everything to him. It's better to come 'in case'.

When ordinary people wear heavy armor, their movements will be greatly restricted, but whether it is for Taishi Ci or Xu Zhu, they feel like they are taking it lightly. When they move, they feel like they are wearing a battle robe. This hundred kilograms of armor does not exist at all.

The breeze was blowing slowly, and the flags around the school grounds were fluttering in the wind, making subtle sounds. In addition, everyone, whether it was Fei Qian, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others on the stage in the school grounds, or the soldiers watching in the distance below the stage, were all in a state of silence. Quietly, looking at the two steel black towers standing in the school grounds.

Taishi Ci slowly turned around in the air as if the halberd would stop at any moment. Finally, he slightly nodded towards Xu Zhu and made a mid-level posture, indicating that Xu Zhu would attack first. .

If an ordinary person saw Tai Shi Ci's actions, they might not feel anything, but for Xu Zhu, this is basically the transmission of information between warriors. With such a simple action, Xu Zhu immediately I understood that the Taishi Ci on the other side was indeed well-deserved.

With more than a hundred kilograms of heavy armor on his body, he can still control the halberd as if he were holding a hollow reed. This is an extremely powerful ability to control human muscles, and this also means that countless people have flowed down. Sweat and fighting against exhaustion and laziness again and again!

This kind of fighting is also Xu Zhu's daily life.

Therefore, Xu Zhu wanted to show respect to Taishi Ci, and the way to show respect was to go all out.

Xu Zhu drew his sword.

The sword was so overbearing that it almost suppressed all the vitality in the air, as if the god of death had come to the world!

If Taishi Cicai's movements were slow to show his control of power, then Xu Zhu was quick to show the fierceness of his power!

The knife seemed to have just come out, and the next second it was almost in front of Tai Shici!

With such a sword, if it were an ordinary soldier, even if he was wearing heavy armor and a helmet, he would probably be knocked away by Xu Zhu's power on the spot, even if he was not cut into two pieces.

However, I don't know when Taishi Ci's halberd appeared on the path of Xu Zhu's sword, and then the crescent moon on the halberd flashed with cold light, and there was a loud bang!

Taishi Ci is very strong.

Xu Zhu is also very strong.

In this short period of time that seemed to last between a breath and a breath, the swords and halberds of the two sides clashed twice, entangled and stirred three times. Finally, the two people collided with each other, and immediately exchanged directions. He jumped away from his position, and through the gaps and holes in the helmet, he seemed to see the fighting spirit burning in the opponent's eyes!

"Such a fierce strength, not inferior to someone..." Zhang Liao frowned and said, "Fortunately, my lord, let the two of them wear heavy armor first..." Although Zhang Liao's martial arts skills are not lacking in dexterity, his moves are also on the strong side. When Xu Zhu showed strength, he knew that the pile of flesh on this guy was not as bloated as Pang Tong looked like.

At this moment, the soldiers around the school field reacted and let out a burst of cheers.

Humanity's worship of force may have originated from the moment when primitive people lifted the first boulder blocking the road, and it was engraved in the genes. Regardless of whether they are male or female, they will involuntarily respond to the majesty and strength produced by pure flesh. appreciation and applause.

For ordinary soldiers, the thinking model is even simpler. If it is just a battle on the battlefield, having powerful generals on one's side means that one's side has more power than the opponent when encountering a battle. With the advantage, you have a greater chance of winning, and you are more likely to win, which is almost equivalent to increasing your chances of survival!

Admirers of pure power, Wei Du was already dancing and cheering loudly, cheering for both sides. His martial arts skills...well, if you search carefully, you can probably find out a little bit, so even Wei couldn't understand the subtle changes Taishi Ci and Xu Zhu showed in this short moment. It was just for the sake of two people. Individual strength competes with each other and is applauded.

Zhao Yun is not like that. Zhao Yun's strength is not bad, but Zhao Yun prefers skills, so he pays more attention to those things that Xu Zhu reveals besides his strength.

Pure power is not terrible, just like ten Wei capitals cannot defeat one Zhao Yun, but if you maintain strong power and have certain skills at the same time, it will be quite troublesome. For example, even if Zhao Yun didn't dare to say that he could guarantee that he could defeat two Zhang Liao...

"If a certain person fights, it can only be won with a hundred moves..." Zhao Yun probably calculated an expectation of his victory, "If the battlefield is small, it will be difficult to defeat a certain person." 』

Zhang Liao looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Zilong is so humble..." Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun had sparred before, so Zhang Liao knew that this so-called estimate was only when Zhao Yun didn't fight tooth and nail. After all, it was a competition now, not a life-and-death fight.

Just during these few words, the two people in the school field were fighting again.

The sparks from the collision of the halberd and the long knife burst out in all directions in the agitated dust, and were soon swept away and annihilated by the violent cyclone. The weapons of the two sides sometimes intertwined and sometimes collided. It was not just Taishi Ci and Xu who were stirred up. The fighting spirit of the two men even beat in the hearts of all the onlookers like a heavy drum!

Under the helmet, Taishi Ci smiled slightly, because under the continuous exchange of blows, he felt that Xu Zhu's strength seemed to have weakened a bit, and the soreness and numbness in his arms and wrists also weakened a bit.

Martial arts competition is not a battle, nor is it a gladiatorial battle with the ultimate goal of killing the opponent, so consuming and weakening the opponent and ultimately defeating the opponent has become an inevitable and better choice.

Then when you sense that your opponent's strength is weakening, it's the time for decisive victory!

Taishi Ci wanted to buy a flaw, then lure Xu Zhu to attack, then give Xu Zhu a blow, and then immediately admit defeat. In this way, Xu Zhu won a superficial victory, and at the same time, Xu Zhu would not underestimate him, so Taishi Ci Pretending to be weak in his hands, the gap between the halberd and Xu Zhu's sword became even larger!

There is a flaw here!

Flaws mean danger, maybe to your opponent, or maybe to yourself...

A warrior's muscle memory ability is sometimes even faster than the brain. The moment Taishi Ci revealed his flaw, Xu Zhu had already instinctively sensed it, and with the sound of wind and thunder, he slashed straight in!

"Huh? Zhang Liao noticed something was wrong and frowned. He also knew what Taishi Ci's martial arts was, so it was natural that something was wrong when Taishi Ci showed his flaws so quickly.

Zhao Yun saw more, maybe this was Zhao Yun's own talent. He even noticed Xu Zhu's seemingly fierce slashes, but the dust stirred up under his feet was smaller than before...

Of course, it's not that Taishi Chi and Xu Zhu are much worse than Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun, but on the one hand, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao are bystanders, and on the other hand, Taishi Ci and Xu Zhu both wear helmets, although Fei Qian supervises the production of these heavy armors. At times, gaps and small holes were consciously added to increase the field of view, but after all, due to the limitations of craftsmanship and materials, the field of view was still much smaller than the normal field of view, so there was no way to discover some details of the opponent like Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao.

The halberd and the long knife collided in one place this time, but strangely there was no loud noise from the collision of power. Time seemed to freeze at this moment. Both sides cleverly changed the direction of their weapons through rotation and shirking at this moment. direction!

Taishi Ci's halberd turned around, and the crescent moon of the halberd flashed with cold light, cutting down like lightning falling from the sky!

Xu Zhu's long sword spun up. The blade was not sharp, but it was heavy. Pressing the halberd, it dragged out a dark afterimage and slashed at him!

Both parties actually bought a flaw at the same time!

Then at the same time, I saw the fierce fangs displayed by the other party at that moment!

Deadly fangs!

Taishi Ci and Xu Zhu almost took the lead at the same time, freeing up one hand. One held the opponent's long halberd, preventing the subsequent changes of the halberd, and the other clamped the opponent's long sword, restricting the long sword. Space to display...

The weapons and armors on both sides creaked in protest at the heavy oppression!

"quick! Mingjin! Fei Qian, who realized it later, quickly gave the order.

As the sound of the golden gong sounded, Taishi Ci Xu Zhushuang took a breath, then slowly exhaled it, loosening the tense muscles bit by bit, and then separated them again.

"good! Fei Qian laughed and said, "How about a draw in this battle?" 』

Xu Zhu and Tai Shici looked at each other, and then said almost at the same time: "I obey the wishes of Hussar (Lord)..."

"Very good!" Very good...haha..."

Fei Qian smiled, and was about to take this opportunity to give Xu Zhu the position of a miscellaneous captain. He was wondering whether to use Boss Cao's name of Military Guard Colonel, or use some other names such as "Huwei", but the result was that Seeing Xu Zhu take a step forward, he cupped his hands and said, "I would like to express my gratitude to you, Qi Qi, I have an unkind favor..."
