Xiaolong, who is far away in the border and builds border cities and markets, has been very annoyed recently. Since coming to this city, the previous good mood, good patience, and good temper have all been consumed in the provocation of these shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

It's really unexpected, their general soldiers are polite and respectful to themselves, but these small soldiers and young generals come over to make stumbling blocks and find a place for themselves. If it was really from the commander-in-chief's instructions, he could still have a fight with Mr. Xiao, but these people were not Mr. Xiao's henchmen, they were all thorns in the face of Mr. Xiao's headaches.

Originally, the construction and management of the mutual market was completely handled by the local government, and he took into account the safety of the merchants and the security of the frontier in the future, so he pulled the border army to participate together. Mr. Xiao is grateful to himself, but these little people have to be cheap and obedient, as if they can't leave them, there are always a few people here to instigate others to be passive and slack off, and find fault and cause trouble.

The tiger didn't make a threat, and thought it was a sick cat! Hum!

"I really want to know what you want to do in a down-to-earth manner?"

These border guards did not guard the border well, allowing the people of Western Xinjiang to burn, kill and loot as if they were in a no-man's land. Wang Xiaohu led people to successfully intercept once, and took down all the opponents without leaving them all. While the emperor praised the Wang family greatly, he also issued a very severe reprimand to the soldiers guarding the frontier. The general soldier accepted it humbly, and because of this, he reorganized his army. While admitting that the people of the Wang Governor's family were extraordinary, they also actively sent a team to learn from Xiaohu's tactics to intercept the people from Western Xinjiang who were crossing the border and robbing. This strategy was indeed very successful, and the people were not harmed by the people of the West Xinjiang for two years. Merely. The following young generals who were doubly reprimanded were quite unconvinced, they felt that the people of the Wang Prefect's family were just blind cats and dead rats, what was there to be so praised? ! but they kept their faithfulness on the frontiers. The soldiers who have been threatened by their lives for a long time are buried in the dust!

There is something even more embarrassing in front of them, why are they all doing hard work, but let the people of the Wang Governor's family be overseers and stewards to manage them, are they worthy?!

The young general who led the trouble, stiffened his neck and said: "Let's not do anything!" It's just that I heard that the adults are very good, and we just want to compete! ”

Xiaolong squinted at the five big and three thick young generals, and said with a smile: "They all have something to do." There's no time to mess around with you. However, this official can find a little free time and accompany you to a few tricks! ”

Even if I feel that I am a military general, it is a bit unauthentic to compete with civilian officials. But this matter was proposed by the prefect himself, so why should he pay attention to those false things. The young man comforted himself paralyzed, and then opened his mouth to ask Xiaolong: "Then are we Wenbi or Wubi?" ”

This literary competition and martial arts competition have different meanings from literary and martial arts competitions. Comparison and martial arts refer to the competition of two different subjects, while literary competition and martial arts refer to different competition methods of the same subject. Wenbi is to show their talents. Such as archery, equestrianism, etc. There are referees who judge who is higher and who is lower according to their respective results. And Wubi wants the two to face off to determine who is higher and who is lower.

Whether it is Wenbi or Wubi, Xiaolong is very confident, he shook his head in the face of the questioning general, and replied: "This official doesn't care, you can compare as much as you say!" ”

The group of soldiers who followed this young general were basically the children of the official eunuchs and the royal clans who couldn't get along in the capital, and they would have been taught by Mr. Wen and Coach Wu from their families since they were children. That's how strange people and things are in this world. An empty jar will not clatter, nor a full jar will clatter. It's just that the jar of a little thing is very bad. The less it is, the more jubilant it gets!

These people who have learned such a little thing since elementary school think that they are sorry, and they think that they can control the world, what is a small prefect? A finger can tell him to lie down. However, in order to be able to teach him a good lesson, it is best to compare everything that can be compared, so that he will be embarrassed again and again, and bury his face in the eighteenth layer of hell. The soldiers with this thought tried their best to pry the young general: "Tell him, Wenbi and Wubi are coming, if he loses, ask him to see us in the future and call him uncle." ”

Mr. Xiao, who was training against his nephew at home, suddenly heard a "report" from his own soldiers outside the training ground, and Mr. Xiao and his nephew stopped the weapons they were about to attack at the same time.

Xiao Zongbing asked at the soldiers who were standing not far away, "What's the matter?" ”

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief! Hundreds of households provoked the prefect of the king, and called the next battle to compete with the prefect. ”

It turned out to be this thing, so it was not a big deal. He asked casually, "Then did the prefect of the king respond to their call?" ”

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief! Lord Wang has agreed! ”

"Oh! I know this, so go down! ”

"Yes!"

Xiao Zongbing's nephew is already a general of Zhengwupin, and he didn't move when he saw his uncle, so he didn't mean to go out to have a look. Worriedly, he asked, "Uncle! Aren't you going to check it out? If this king wants to do such a big thing, the emperor depends on him, and he thinks that he values him very much. If you are injured here, I am afraid that the emperor will reprimand you again. ”

Mr. Xiao made a "snort" sound from his nose, "He's injured?" It seems that you are also confused to have been in the army for so many years. Do you know who the martial champion of the virtuous ten years is? Do you know who is the most powerful general in the Northern Frontier defenders? ”

His nephew was stunned and asked, "Could it be that they are all from Lord Wang's family?" ”

"That's right! That Wu Zhuangyuan is said to be an orphan raised by the Wang family, both civil and military. At that time, we general soldiers wanted to recruit, but the emperor directly named the Imperial Forest Army, and it is said that he is now the captain of the palace. The general of the northern frontier is said to be the elder brother of the prefect of Wang, who stood out in the army with his martial arts and rose to the rank of thousand. Later, because of the creation of the army's logistics department, he made a significant contribution to military quartermasters, and was promoted to general of military strategy. Later, what special forces were trained to be able to defeat a hundred with one enemy, and what archers were trained, who could assemble a bow and crossbow and shoot an arrow at the target in five breaths, do you know how much he has the eyes of Old Man Qin? actually asked the emperor to promote him by three levels. Old man Qin's own eldest grandson is still boiling up little by little, but he lifts an outsider up like this, do you think that a person who has no ability can get so much weight from Old Man Qin? ”

"But uncle, after all, Lord Wang is a civil official, and he is not necessarily just like his brother, who knows the six arts of martial arts."

Mr. Xiao nodded his nephew's head with a headache: "Why is your head so stiff?" You haven't understood it for a long time! This Wang prefect's house is both civil and military, and it is cultivated together. The prefect of the king can never be just a secretary, only those fools will think that the prefect of the king is a bully. It is also good to let them suffer a little, so that they do not know the height of the sky and think that the whole world is theirs. ”

"Uncle! Let's go over and take a look! Otherwise, when the time comes, Lord Wang will think that we have maliciously connived. ”

"Since you want to go, let's go and have a look! It's good to see the ability of the prefect of the king for himself! Xiao Zongbing said as he wiped the sweat from his neck, neck and armpits with a large towel handed over by his own soldiers. It was almost wiped before he took the shirt handed by the soldier and put it on. They walked to the stables with their nephews, and each rode his horse to the construction site outside the city gate.

There was a stalemate in a large open field on the construction site, and these thorny soldiers, with very bad hearts, even proposed to let their teammates put potatoes on their heads in the archery competition, and use the potatoes as their targets. Wang Zhifu resolutely disagreed, and the other party said that Wang Zhifu was inferior in skills and was afraid. No matter how much they provoked, the prefect still disagreed. Until the arrival of Mr. Xiao's uncle and nephew, they were still in a stalemate.

Mr. Xiao walked between the two pairs with a cold face, clasped his fists at the prefect of Wang's mansion and said, "Lord Wang! Ben will apologize to you on behalf of his ignorant boys! ”

"Mr. Xiao doesn't have to be like this! The official is also annoyed by their endless troublemaking, and this is the only time today. If you're here, just be the referee for us! ”

Mr. Xiao was also happy, "Okay! Then he turned his head and ordered: "Go and get two regular military targets!" ”

By the time the military target was brought and both sides were tied, the young general had already taken his bow and arrows and was ready to shoot. And Wang Zhifu stretched out his hand to take the bow and crossbow that had not yet been assembled from his entourage, and moved neatly, his eyes did not look at the things in his hand, but stared straight at the red dot in the center of the target without moving. Xiao Zongbing and his nephew watched Wang Zhifu neatly assemble the bow and crossbow and shoot the arrow with only five movements, and the arrow was just pierced on the red dot. Both of them had straight eyes, and Xiao Zongbing's nephew was even more shocked, only to hear the uncle say how powerful Lord Wang's brother was, but he didn't expect Lord Wang to have this hand.

The onlookers don't need to mention it, just the prefect's move, they know that their side is lost.

Wang Zhifu didn't look at other people's eyes or demeanor, but only shot all the arrows in the arrow box whizzing, and the ten arrows were like a blooming trumpet flower, firmly blooming on the small red dot in the center of the target.

As soon as the young general who competed with the prefect of Wang shot the second arrow, he heard the sound of exclamation from everyone and couldn't help but glance at the target next door, and when he saw the perfect ten ten-ring results, the hand holding the bow couldn't help but tremble.

The third arrow finally deviated from the edge of the red heart when he was unstable, and with only this one arrow, Xiao Zongbing judged that the junior general lost: "Don't shoot below, you have already lost." ”

The young general was not convinced: "He uses a crossbow, I use a bow, this is not fair!" ”

Governor Wang said coldly: "I allow you to use the crossbow to do it again!" ”

The young general also knew that even if he used the prefect's bow and crossbow, he would not be able to achieve the prefect's ability to tie ten arrows into a flower shape, so he hesitated for a while, but still bowed his head and admitted defeat.

Mr. Xiao saw that he had stopped, so he asked him in a cold voice, "What's the next competition?" ”

Someone next to him replied on behalf of Li Baihu: "Report to the general army!" It's equestrian! ”

Equestrianism in the army is not only the skill of riding a horse, but also the skills of archery, attacking with a weapon, or defending on a horse, in which the coordination of the horse is very important.

Although Xiaolong's horse is an excellent horse brought back from the grassland, this horse has not been trained like a military horse, and if you really want to compare, I am afraid that it will suffer. Xiaolong squinted, glanced at Xiao Zongbing, didn't say anything, only waved his hand and asked his entourage to lead the horse over.

Even if he will suffer, he will have to play a competition, and admitting defeat without a fight is definitely not his character. (To be continued.) )
