In fact, this is also normal, generals like to sharpen their strength.

Especially in the current war years, which are not military generals in peacetime, all the generals are fat with big heads and big ears, full of fat and big bellies.

Now these generals under Liu Zheng's command are all people with some skills, and they are quite confident in their own strength, and they all want to see what ranking they can rank among Liu Zheng's current hands.

In this way, a vigorous competition was held in Liu Zheng's Mingyue Cottage.

The whole process lasted two months.

Round after round of competitions, Liu Zheng's more than 10,000 people here were completely compared.

The generals under Liu Zheng basically didn't say anything, and they all managed to stand out, fight with ordinary soldiers, and then promoted all the way to the level of Qu Chang.

At the end of the day, the strongest person was naturally Huang Zhong without any surprise.

Huang Zhong's strength is stronger than Gan Ning, Zhou Cang, Zu Lang and others, not to mention Gan Ning, who is still young now, even if Gan Ning is at his peak, he may not be the opponent of the elderly Huang Zhong.

What's more, the current Huang Zhong, who is upright and in his prime, is in the prime of life, and is physically strong, and he defeated Gan Ning in more than a dozen rounds.

Originally, Gan Ning was still proud of his strong martial arts, and he was definitely one of the best in Liu Zheng's camp, but after he was beaten by Huang Zhong, he immediately became much more honest and respected Huang Zhong more.

Even Xu Huang couldn't help but try it with Huang Zhong, after being easily defeated by Huang Zhong, everyone also admired Huang Zhong very much, not only Huang Zhong's martial arts are strong, but also Huang Zhong's archery skills are extraordinary, far greater than their ability.

For a time, Huang Zhong had the highest voice in Liu Zheng's army, and it was logical that he became the commander of Liu Zheng's second battalion.

Excluding Huang Zhong, it is Gan Ning's strongest strength, but what surprised Liu Zheng was Zu Lang's strength, which was actually more powerful than Zhou Cang.

In the fight with Zhou Cang, he actually won over Zhou Cang, but he still had some shortcomings compared to Gan Ning.

However, Liu Zheng still gave Zu Lang a position of Qu Commander and let him continue to command the previous 4,000 water army. When the naval army under him grew to 10,000 people, he was restructured into a battalion commander.

A vigorous competition, similarly, there are some people who have no impression of Liu Zheng at all before, and gradually emerge.

There were two of them, which made Liu Zheng pay attention to it.

One is called Zhang Baiqi.

This guy, although he is not famous in history, but this name, there is still some impression of Liu Zheng, it seems to be a leader in the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro, in many games that Liu Zheng has played, Zhang Baiqi is the backbone of the Montenegrin Army.

He didn't have much fame under Liu Zheng before, and he didn't have any impression that he was an ordinary cavalryman, and under Xu Huang's selection, he had been serving as a squad leader in the cavalry squad.

However, this competition made him stand out and was directly promoted to become a music captain.

There is another young boy, only fourteen or fifteen years old, this kid was under the command of Liu Zheng's Yellow Turban Army when he was in Wancheng before.

However, he was also fighting in the team of small soldiers, and in this competition, he defeated several strong adults as a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy.

Although he fought with Pei Yuanshao in the end and was defeated by Pei Yuanshao, his strength still attracted Liu Zheng's attention, and after asking the name of this young man, he was actually called Wen Ping.

immediately attracted Liu Zheng's attention, Wen Ping, that is Cao Wei's famous general in the future. Wen hires this guy, Liu Zheng is very clear.

First was a general under Liu Biao, and later after Liu Biao died, he followed Liu Cong to Cao Cao, and since then he has become the general of Cao's army. Hundreds of thousands of guards in Jiangxia made it impossible for Sun Quan to break through the defense line.

Although the current Wenpin is only a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, if Liu Zheng cultivates well, his future achievements will definitely be stronger than he in history.

It just so happens that Liu Zheng is now preparing for the school.

In addition, the age of the clerk also meets the enrollment conditions of the school.

In this way, Liu Zheng directly pulled him out of the army and sent it to the school for cultivation.

Wen Ping was a little reluctant at first, after all, his ambition was to be in the army.

But later Liu Zheng explained to him, saying that the academy only needs to study for one or two years before he can graduate from the academy and directly hold a senior position in the army at that time.

Wen Ping heard that he could become an official, so he happily entered the school to study.

In addition to the civil recruitment, Liu Zheng also personally selected a group of young people who were suitable for their age and were interested in engaging in military activities and sent them to study in the school.

Even Huang Zhong's son Huang Xu was recommended by Liu Zheng to enter the academy to study. Huang Zhong did not have the slightest objection to this, but praised it greatly.

Now Huang Xu is by Zhang Zhongjing's side, with Zhang Zhongjing to help him regulate his body, although his body bones have not completely healed, but it is no longer too much of a problem, and there is still no problem with simple practice of martial arts to strengthen his body.

But after all, the body bones are too weak, if you don't exercise diligently, your body will still be much worse than a normal person. So Liu Zhengcai recommended him to study in the school.

At the same time, the school teaches not only martial arts, but also a lot of literary knowledge and other things, which are better for a young man like Huang Xu to know some.

The two-month competition was vigorously carried out, and after the end, it was just past the beginning of spring, and the school that had been preparing for a long time had also been built at this time.

Everything in the cottage is on track.

At the same time, last winter, Liu Zheng went to Xuzhou to negotiate cooperation with the Mi family, and in the beginning of spring, he also began to officially enter the state of cooperation.

The Mi family sent out the ship and goods, and Liu Zheng sent a thousand water thieves to escort them.

So that Mijia's team can cross Xuzhou and Yangzhou safe and sound.

In this way, the trade of goods between the two places becomes simpler.

On the one hand, because of Liu Zheng's water thief escort, the trade route between the two places was shortened, and at the same time, there was no need to make various dots along the road, so that the process of trade became much faster.

In the past, it took up to half a month for the Mi family to trade once from the two places, and a month was nothing more than two trades.

However, with Liu Zheng's escort and the strongholds that had been prepared by the two places to speed up the collection and transportation of goods, in this way, the time was greatly shortened, and in a month's time, there was time to run three trades.

In this way, not only the profit earned is greatly increased. Even the number of times the two sides trade in it has increased, and the amount of money that can be earned from trading has increased.
