Just like the dialogue between Yang Shanhui and Li Jing, Yang Tong took this opportunity to implement the military merit system in place, and in the future, the capable in the army will be promoted and the mediocre will be demoted, and the fittest will be survived, and the soldiers will automatically supervise the generals above because they can use their merits to take the position, even if no one supervises, the generals will not dare to say even if they have different aspirations, and they will not dare to do it if they dare not say it, at most they will just leave the army with their henchmen. In this way, the military power was firmly in the hands of the imperial court.

Once this decree is put in place, not to mention those middle and low-level generals, even the masterminds of the first army are going to rebel, I am afraid that there will not be many people with them. For ordinary soldiers and low-level generals, they can only get food and clothing at most if they follow the generals, and if they mix with the emperor, they may be able to soar into the sky one day and become a general and a national prince.

"Military attache exit!" Du Ruhui, the squire of the military department who served as the master of ceremonies, raised his throat and shouted loudly.

These generals who have been selected as benchmarks will naturally not accept the challenge from beginning to end, and only after the strongest one corresponding to the number of positions has been contested among these 10,000 people, these generals in the army will come out to be the champions and accept the challenge of the winners.

The one hundred and ninety-one eagle generals in front of him are all strong men who have climbed up with military merits, and their abilities belong to the top of generals of the same level. If someone can defeat them in a challenge with their individual martial arts and ability to command the army, then it is worth granting them the corresponding official position.

The process of the competition is quite fierce, and it is inevitable that there will be accidental casualties, so you need to sign a life and death certificate before the competition.

The participants were all bold people, after Du Ruhui issued the order, no one hesitated at all, let alone leave, a large group of people under the organization of the soldiers, lined up in two hundred queues, and began to sign the life and death certificate.

Three o'clock in the afternoon!

The decree of life and death has been signed, and the samurai are eager to fight to the sound of rumbling war drums, ready to fight for fame and fortune, but no one is in a hurry to play, because according to the previous rules of martial arts, the person who wins the first battle will become the champion, and he must win three consecutive battles to advance.

Yang Tong also wanted to use the rules of the game in later generations to draw numbers, but those rules were not suitable, because the martial arts of the martial artists were not strong, and the originally very powerful martial artists would be tragic if they encountered fierce people like Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin as soon as they came on the field. If this person happens to be a Confucian general in the way of Li Jing and Su Ding, it will be Yang Tong and the imperial court who will lose.

Therefore, Yang Tong simply handed over the initiative to the samurai who participated in the martial arts, and they decided when to appear and who to challenge! If they are unlucky enough to choose a certain fierce man, they also have a bad vision, and they can't blame the court. However, in this way, no one played at the beginning of the game, and everyone was waiting for others to play, so that they could observe for themselves and see the strength of others by the way.

"Holy Lord, why is no one playing?" Xiao Wu participated for the first time, but I didn't expect this result.

"It's still early!" Yang Tong glanced at Murong Ke in the stands, and said softly: "But Tuyuhun has also signed up, and these people should come out to provoke soon." ”

"This is my Great Sui's martial arts, what did Tuyuhun sign up for?" Xiao Wu frowned, surprised.

"Tuyuhun is extremely ambitious, seeing that my Great Sui is divided, there is a little bit of a sense of not taking the Great Sui in their eyes, they have ill intentions, and they are not really participating in my enthronement ceremony, but provoking and exalting their prestige."

Yang Tong saw that no one had played for a while, and even Murong Ke seemed to be a lot more honest, so he simply chatted with Xiao Wu: "Tuyuhun was originally a branch of the Xianbei Murong Division, and after several rounds, they finally gained a foothold in the Qilian Mountains and the upper valley of the Yellow River, between the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the north and south, Tuyuhun took advantage of the endless battles in the Central Plains and controlled the vast territory today. By the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the north of the Yangtze River was controlled by the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the south of the Yangtze River was controlled by the Southern Dynasties. The economically developed Southern Dynasties wanted to go through the Western Regions and Rouran, and could only enter the Western Regions through Tuyuhun from Bashu, to Gaochang in the north, and then turn to the east, and finally reach Rouran. ”

Tuyuhun attached great importance to this economic lifeline and opened up a number of new passages to reconnect the Southern Dynasties with the Western Regions. In order to maintain unimpeded traffic, the Tuyuhun people did not take on the tasks of guiding the direction, providing translations, armed escorts, etc., but also actively arranged in the middle, trafficking the special products of the more western Hu merchants to the Southern Dynasties, such as Qinghai Cheng, and then selling silk, cotton cloth, porcelain, ironware, tea, paper and other specialties of the Central Plains to the Hu merchants, making a huge difference in price. They prospered and became powerful because of the passage of the Silk Road, and became a hegemon in the northwest. ”

"However, my Great Sui Dynasty ruled the world and changed all this. When the emperor's grandfather inspected Hexi, the kings of the Western Regions came to Zhangye to meet with each other, and then the Silk Road returned to its normal route. As a result, all the merchants took the convenient and smooth Hexi Corridor, and the hub function of Tuyuhun, which had a harsh environment, disappeared. Tuyuhun's biggest reliance is also declining day by day. Looking at the prosperity of the Hexi Corridor and thinking of the scene of his own prosperity and decline, Fu Yun, the Khan of Tugu Hun Bu Saba, was jealous in his heart, and asked the army to disguise himself as horse thieves to attack Hexi, intercept and kill merchants and travelers along the way, and also formed an alliance with the Western Turks to prepare to deal with our Great Sui Dynasty. ”

In order to remove Tuyuhun to smooth the Silk Road, the emperor's grandfather personally led the elite 200,000 pro-conquest of Tuyuhun, he concentrated superior forces, adopted the tactics of desperate pursuit and encirclement on all sides, and defeated Tuyuhun several times, slaughtering Tuyuhun almost extinct, and the Khan finally fled to the party. Tuyuhun is 4,000 miles from east to west, and 2,000 miles from north to south are all owned by the Great Sui, and the emperor's grandfather has four counties: Heyuan, Xihai, Shanshan, and the end. After the Great Sui fell into chaos, the Busabo Khan restored the Tuyuhun Khanate. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Tong said with a smile: "With the recovery of Yongliang Prefecture, the Silk Road will be restarted again, once the Silk Road is unblocked, it will bring huge profits to our Great Sui and the countries of the Western Regions, so the countries of the Western Regions have a supportive and welcoming attitude, Tugu is red-eyed and unhappy, trying to repeat the old tricks and destroy the Silk Road." ”

Xiao Wu said angrily: "It's really good, the scar forgot the pain." ”

Yang Tong nodded, and was about to answer, but saw a person in the crowd riding a horse into the competition venue, and looked intently, it turned out to be a Tuyuhun warrior.

"Haha, they all say how powerful the Great Sui is, in my opinion, it's just like that, my name is Murong Cheng, from Tuyuhun, today I wanted to learn the skills of the Great Sui heroes, but your cringe-back strength really disappointed me!"

Murong was quite good at mocking his kung fu, and with just one sentence, he blew up the Great Sui warriors and the spectators in the stands. Wuju also rose from the dispute between domestic samurai to the height of national dignity, and many people opened their mouths and cursed.

A burly warrior took a war horse from the hands of the soldiers around him, rode his horse to the school field, slashed down the big sword in his hand, and roared with great momentum: "Hu Gou, suffer death." ”

"Husband, how is this person?" Xiao Wu asked nervously.

Yang Tong shook his head and sighed: "The courage is commendable, but the ability is ......."

Murong Cheng is a candidate who made a special trip from Tuyuhun to the Great Sui to demonstrate and provoke, and his skills are naturally not bad, and he is a character honed from the battlefield, seeing the other party slashing over, he just sneered, his body turned over on the back of the horse, with his superb riding skills, he easily avoided the opponent's blade, and when the two horses were staggered, he directly swept the opponent's neck with a knife.

The big head of the bucket rose into the sky, and the drum noise was suffocated.

Only Murong Ke and the others were left to laugh wildly.

"It's too much." Xiao Wu was so angry that her face turned red, in the troubled times, the most unworthy thing is human life, and no one is afraid of the dead.

Yang Tong's eyes were cold, although he had already established a life and death situation, but that was just to prevent accidents, martial arts generally did not kill people, at most they were disabled. And he also saw that Murong Cheng's martial arts were much stronger than that man, so he shot mercilessly and killed the enemy with one move. It can be seen that these Tuyuhun people have no worries at all, they have the intention of killing people from the beginning, which makes Yang Dong's heart extremely hot.

was about to instruct Feng Li, Li Zhengbao, and Xin Fang'er to go on the field to combat the arrogance of the other party, but he saw a young general holding a horse lance, flying horses, and before anyone arrived, he had already said loudly: "Jing Zhao Yu Zhan is here, Hu Gou Hugh is going to be arrogant." ”

Before the words fell, the horse lance had already stabbed out, Murong Cheng mustered up his spirit and swung his knife to block it, swinging Yu Zhan's spear away with one sword, followed by a knife that quickly slashed at Yu Zhan like a wind.

Yu Zhan's martial arts are not weak, and they are naturally nothing compared to Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, and Wei Chigong, but they can also rank among the first fourth-tier generals of the Great Sui.

Murong Cheng's knife technique was ruthless, as fast as the wind, but Yu Zhan was not weak, he retracted the lance with his hand, blocked the opponent's slash, and then stabbed the opponent's throat like a spirit snake spitting out a letter.

Murong Cheng was startled, and hurriedly made a short body, but a little late, he was cut a shocking wound on his cheek by the lance blade, which immediately aroused Murong Cheng's ferocity, he roared and pulled the reins of the horse, turned around and fought Yu Zhan again, but before he could completely turn the horse's head, he saw Yu Zhan violently turn his body to the side, and the horse lance in his hand burst out like lightning, piercing the opponent's chest.

Luo Shixin, who was guarding behind Yang Tong, saw Yu Zhan's move, but he shook his head with some disappointment: "If this move can be raised by a few points, it can penetrate the enemy's throat at this moment." A casual stroke left and right can allow the horse lance to deal with the next enemy, and he is now using too much force, if a second enemy attacks, I am afraid that he will be hated on the spot. ”

"This is my Great Sui land, he doesn't have any worries, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about the second enemy. His mistake lies in his lack of experience in facing the enemy, but this person's courage can be included in the Great Sui fourth-level military general system, and he is young and promising, and there is great room for growth. Yang Tong gave a fair comment.

Everyone's cheeks twitched violently, you yourself are only twenty years old, and you actually say that a person of the same age is 'young and promising', which is also too ... It's a little too old-fashioned...

After a brief silence, there was a sudden thunderous roar of joy.

Murong Cheng's ability is actually no worse than Yu Zhan, but Yu Zhan's ingenuity in moves is far superior to his opponent, this unlucky guy also suffers a loss in knowledge, and is accustomed to the fighting style of foreign nations to win with strength and speed, but he has not reached the level of one force to ten meetings, and when he encounters a skilled warrior like Yu Zhan, even if he does not die, he is restrained and can't raise his head.

"Bastard!" Murong Ke saw that his warrior was lost by a young player not long after he appeared, and he immediately stood up in anger.

His seat was not far from Yang Tong, and his move immediately attracted Yang Tong's attention, and he said indifferently: "If you can't afford to lose, don't play." ”

"You ......" Murong Ke pointed his finger at Yang Tong, speechless for a while.

Yang Tong's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "If you howl for half a sentence, Lao Tzu will destroy you now." ”

Murong Ke looked at Yang Tong's fierce gaze, and subconsciously withdrew his fingers, with a little fear in his eyes.

Yang Shanhui, Li Jing, and Du Ruhui glanced at each other, but they didn't speak.

Yang Tong is handsome, talented, capable of writing and martial arts, and has a detached temperament, which is simply the best interpretation of "strangers are like jade, and gentlemen are unparalleled in the world", and they have nothing to find fault with Yang Tong, but there is only one thing they can't stand from beginning to end: Yang Tong gets up angry and scolds his mother and swears, which is more vicious than a ruffian hooligan, which makes the beautiful image disappear all at once. It is precisely because of pity that everyone feels annoyed and unbearable.

Xiao Wu's beautiful eyes did not leave Yang Tong's side face for a moment, and her eyes were full of admiration and admiration.
