A word poked at the bitter point in the center, but Zhang Xiu immediately lost the interest in continuing to talk, and said goodbye to Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi with respectful hands: "It's not too early, embroidery still needs to discuss tomorrow, so I'll go back to the room to rest first." ”

Liu Bei's current position as General Zuo is the same as Zhang Xiu's Zhendong General, but Liu Bei has the identity of the emperor of the Han family who has been certified by the Liu family's genealogy, but he is more noble than Zhang Xiu, so it is not inappropriate to salute the two imperial uncles and wives.

Gan's and Mi's didn't keep it, they each gave a shallow salute, said to the general, and gave Zhang Xiu.

Unable to hang out, Zhang Xiu could only return to his room to sleep. Lying on the soft collapse, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but play the scene of subduing Zhao Yun, but somehow, the young, beautiful and virtuous Mrs. Mi and Mrs. Gan broke into Zhang Xiu's mind, and then when Zhang Xiu fell asleep, Yuan Lan's quiet and lovely face emerged......

A good night's dream, but when Zhang Xiu woke up on the second day, there was an indescribable sense of relaxation, and after a quick rinse, Zhang Xiu moved in the courtyard shirtless and bare-chested.

Thanks to the scientific training knowledge of later generations, Zhang Xiu spent two and a half years in this life, but he exercised the originally strong Zhang Xiu's body to a higher level, and his flexibility, strength and endurance have been further improved. It's just a pity that Zhang Xiu's understanding of marksmanship and martial arts is not as good as the original owner of this body, although he practices a hundred birds and phoenix guns every day, and has also experienced more than 30 battles of all sizes, but he has only achieved the basic inheritance of Zhang Xiu's original marksmanship and martial arts, and it is not yet possible to thoroughly integrate it, let alone improve.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiu himself is not a brave and aggressive person, he can have a good level of martial arts, and he can protect himself in the face of the vast majority of the generals of the Three Kingdoms, and Zhang Xiu is already very satisfied with this level of strength. Compared with fighting and killing bloody battlefields, Zhang Xiu still prefers to sit on a high place and look at the battlefield.

It's okay to rely on your own martial arts and courage to occasionally take the lead to boost morale, but you really need to charge into battle, and just give these votes to your subordinates to do it, so don't make any fun of it. Although it is the era of cold weapons, the same knives and arrows as bullets are not long-eyed, and it will be embarrassing if one day you overload it and die in the same way as your cheap uncle.

Don't you see the flying general Lu Fengxian? A Fang Tian painting halberd can single-handedly challenge any general in the world, and the chaotic battle of the group of soldiers also has the ability to sweep away thousands of troops, but the ending is not dead. Don't you see the little overlord Sun Bofu? Kill two generals with one coercion and one roar, sweeping Jiangdong and meeting opponents, but what about the ending, wasn't it done by open guns and hidden arrows?

Experience tells us that if a lord is very capable and loves to fight, then he will not live long.

Zhang Xiu entered the city without his tiger-headed golden gun, which symbolized the name of the Northland Gun King, in fact, the golden gun had always been kept by the gunman Li Feng. Entering Pengcheng is a matter of deliberation and not a war, so naturally there is no need to bring heavyweight weapons. So Zhang Xiu only brought his "Sword from the Son of Heaven" with him, but after warming up at this moment, Zhang Xiu did not practice swords, but asked for a waist knife from his own guards and practiced knife skills.

The Kansai people are heroic and rugged, and they have always disliked delicate weapons such as guns and swords that are difficult to practice, but prefer knives and axes that are easy to manipulate and powerful, and Zhang Xiu is a Kansai native in his past and present lives, but he also has this preference. Therefore, the biggest role of the sword in Zhang Xiu's body is not self-defense, but because of the ceremonial tradition and the symbolism of the sword.

In this regard, there is a huge difference between Kanto people and Kansai people. Compared with Liu Bei's pro-army and Zhang Xiu's pro-soldiers in front of him, although there are not many Wuwei people left in Zhang Xiu's personal guard Wuwei battalion, they are still dominated by the brave Xiliang Rui soldiers of the lineage, and almost all the weapons are all kinds of long and short straight scimitars that are convenient for chopping and blocking. And Liu Bei's starting conditions are not as good as Zhang Xiu's, there is no hometown guard, and there is no descendant army, but because he often travels around, he recruited a group of Central Plains knights with the name of loyalty and righteousness to serve as personal guards. And most of these Central Plains rangers use swords that are easy to stab.

Of course, these are all opinions, and they also have a lot to do with the preferences of the lord himself. For example, Dong Zhuo likes heavy armor, so there is a flying bear heavy armor army that ordinary knives and arrows cannot be broken or pierced. Sun Ce likes to hunt, so most of the guards around him are good shooters.

To be honest, although Zhang Xiu doesn't have much understanding of marksmanship, he has some talent for the use of short knives. It's just that the mainstream of the world is horse warfare, and most of the weapons are more popular with long weapons or heavy weapons, and there are too few people who use short weapons as natal weapons, at least Zhang Xiu's subordinates do not have this kind of general. Therefore, Zhang Xiu's knife skills have always stayed at the stage of self-practice, but they have never been practical.

There are few people who use short weapons, but it doesn't mean that there are none, for example, Liu Bei happens to be a person who likes to use short weapons, and has always used short weapons to fight horses. Unlike Zhang Xiu, who only holds one sword, Liu Bei uses two swords. However, it is rare to see a fellow practitioner who prefers short weapons, and these can be ignored.

I was going to invite Zhang Xiu to the banquet, but when I saw Zhang Xiu dancing with a scimitar in his hand, Liu Bei's heart suddenly rose with an inexplicable surge that had not been seen for a long time.

I think I also had such a vigorous demeanor back then! Who doesn't have a young age? What about being younger?

In the face of Liu Bei's impromptu invitation, Zhang Xiu agreed without thinking.

Joke, are you still afraid that Liu Bei will take the opportunity to kill me? Not to mention whether Liu Bei, who is nearly forty years old, has the strength, it is really not a good choice to choose to invite a fight in person, if you want to kill me, it is completely okay to let people dance swords, poison, and even stab knives in the back at the banquet, and it is really impossible to risk your life to fight in person.

When he said that he would fight, Liu Bei ordered someone to get his male and female double-strand sword, and Zhang Xiu also picked a Huren-style scimitar with nomadic characteristics.

Although the Han people's traditional large long knives are suitable for military warfare, they are not suitable for heads-up because their blades are too large and too thick. However, it is the scimitar used by the Xianbei people of the Qiang, Hunu, and Xianbei people outside the Saiwai, the blade is narrow and long, and it is very light, which is very conducive to riding or one-on-one use. The Xiliang army and the Qianghu aliens often fought, and in the face of the Qianghu light cavalry wielding scimitars and carrying bows and arrows like the wind, the standard weapons of the Xiliang border army were also greatly affected. Nowadays, the waist knives equipped with the light infantry of the Western Liang Army are about the same style as the Hu Dao. This not only saves a lot of resources, but also helps the Xiliang soldiers, who are good at fighting and fighting, to play.

This style has also been continued by Zhang Xiu. Limited by technology, there were not many iron ore resources that could be explored and excavated in ancient times, and resources were always in short supply in the manufacture of armor. So much so that there are often scenes of "hundreds of thousands of warriors and 100,000 with armor."

Because of the change from a multi-system broadsword to a multi-system scimitar, Zhang Xiujun saved a lot of copper and iron resources, and when these copper and iron were used to make armor that should be manufactured, the proportion of "armor men" in Zhang Xiujun's army was greatly increased.

Here, Liu Bei's male and female double-strand swords were also taken, and Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi heard the news of the competition, but they came together with two jars of wine to help the fun.

Liu Bei's double-strand sword is very particular, one sword is flat and broad and blunt, the other sword is narrow and sharp, two swords are one offensive and one defensive, the two swords complement each other, even horse battles can not be afraid of long weapons such as guns and spears.

Zhang Xiu was the first to be the king of guns in the north, and he was still famous for his martial arts in the fierce and fierce Xiliang army. Recently, there has been a "feat" of capturing Xu Chu and stabbing Dian Wei to death, regardless of whether there is water and luck in these achievements, Zhang Xiu's current force is by no means what Liu Bei dares to support, so Liu Bei did not hesitate and chose to fight together with a double-strand sword.

Before the fight, the two toasted each other with a few glasses of wine to show their affection. In ancient times, the alcohol content of wine was very low, and it did not anesthetize the nerves and cause a miss, on the contrary, it also had the effect of concentrating and concentrating, which was therefore liked by the warriors.

The guards of the Wuwei battalion stood scattered in the courtyard, and Hu Che'er, who was the commander of the Wuwei battalion, stood with Chen Zhi and several Liu Bei's personal guards, and everyone was more than ten meters away from the two people standing in the courtyard.

"Please give me advice!" Zhang Xiu took advantage of Fang Cai's warm-up strength to disperse, and took the lead in launching an offensive against Liu Bei.

Liu Bei held his breath and concentrated, using both strands of swords, calmly dealing with Zhang Xiu, who was breaking through the sword. He had only moved his lower limbs before the war, and he was still a little slow to use them at the moment.

Zhang Xiu relied on his young strength and dexterity in his hand, the knife was extremely powerful, and the offensive was also wave after wave and did not stop, but Liu Bei showed his lack of strength and explosiveness as soon as he started fighting.

The two fought for more than 30 moves, and Liu Bei finally adjusted his state to the hot, and the more he fought, the more calm he became. At this time, Zhang Xiu was a little impatient and angry because he had never been able to break Liu Bei's impenetrable double-strand sword. In the end, Liu Bei seized an opportunity and used the male sword in his left hand to press down Zhang Xiu's scimitar by force, but the female sword in his right hand shot like a smart shot, stabbing Zhang Xiu's chest.

Zhang Xiu's scimitar was pressed by Liu Bei's broadsword, and it was difficult to pull it out before Liu Bei's other sword stabbed at the moment, but if he abandoned the knife at this moment, it would be tantamount to admitting defeat, which was not a result that Zhang Xiu could accept. Therefore, between the lightning and flint, Zhang Xiu chose to meet in a short manner, and his body did not retreat or dodge, but burst out vigorously and slashed the scimitar in his hand from bottom to top along Liu Bei's broadsword.
