Chapter 126: Muddy the Waters
After Li Zongxiong finished speaking, Liu Fan had to admit that his analysis was very reasonable after thinking about it for a while, it seemed that it was impossible for him to sometimes look forward to meeting a top master like Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo, let alone a sweeping monk, and he couldn't help but feel disappointed in his heart, it is estimated that at this point, this world is the same as the world before he crossed over, although the martial arts master depicted in the novel in that world jumped between high-rise buildings at will, and the palm he launched was like an exploding cannonball. But in fact, it depends on computer synthesis technology in TV, and there is no such master.
Gai Yanshou next to him interjected, "Actually, there are not no people with strong martial arts in the world, but according to my estimates, most of them are still in the army, such as Li Xiang, when he was young, he rarely met opponents all the way, and there were countless Khitan people who died under his sword, even now, I estimate that many people are not Li Xiang's opponents, this is not only the very exquisite sword skills left by the ancestors, but also the result of the integration in the long-term battle." However, I don't mean to belittle Li Xiang here, a master like Li Xiang who has achieved achievements in the military is also in the Great Qi army and the Khitan army, and it is impossible to predict in advance who can achieve the final victory in the competition. ”
"What's not derogatory about this, this is an indisputable fact, the hero doesn't mention the courage of the year, it is estimated that I am not the opponent of Liu Fan and Wang Kai at all now!"
"Chief Administrator, no one knows your sword skills in the Northwest Camp, how can we really be your opponents." The two of them immediately stood up and said in fear.
"Don't be presumptuous, you are young talents who emerged in the war with the Khitans last year, if the two of you can't even beat me, does that mean that this competition has to be topped by me, an old fellow?"
"Don't say that, we don't mean that, if the military department selects the two of us to participate in the competition, we will not hesitate to meet the challenge of the Khitans!" The two of them bowed together and said.
"Haha, that's pretty much it, that's what we want."
"Huh? Did you fall for these two old guys, the two of them seemed random, but they actually set a trap for me and Wang Kai to get into? As soon as Liu Fan sat down, he immediately wondered in his heart.
But this kind of thought was immediately denied by himself after only stopping in his mind for a moment, "It can't be a trap set by the two, the topic of finding a martial arts master was brought up by myself first, but I said it here in a hurry, and I inadvertently pushed Wang Kai and myself up, if the military department can't find a more suitable candidate, it seems that the possibility of myself and Brother Wang going up is very high, alas, I accidentally got into trouble again." Liu Fan felt sorry for himself in his heart.
"Hey! A few of you haven't made any suggestions for this competition, so tell us what you think! Gai Yanshou said again.
"If the military department can't find a better candidate, I recommend Liu Fan and Wang Kai to come forward to participate in the competition with the Khitans, after all, among the 4,000 people in the northwest camp who entered Beijing this time, they are the only ones who are outstanding in martial arts." Li Shouyi said.
"My subordinates are willing to participate in the contest with the Khitans in accordance with the orders of the deputy governor." Liu Fan and Wang Kai got up at the same time and said.
"Uncle Gay, I want to ask if you have to fight alone in this competition?" Li Min interjected.
"The specific comparison has not been decided, why, Xiao Min has an idea?"
"If it hasn't been decided, then can it be set up as a group of three team battles in the martial arts, the Northwest Battalion in the second phase of the new military training carried out from November to December last year, specially set up a group of three, a group of five or a group of ten small group training, we feel that the effect is not bad, but I am most optimistic about the cooperation of Liu Fan and his younger brother Liu Dong and Liu Fan's guard captain Ma Qiang, who have never been defeated in the matchup training."
"Oh, and that's the kind of training you designed? Not bad! Li Zongxiong, Gai Yanshou and others were shocked almost at the same time.
"This kind of training is still a wake-up call from the general manager!" Liu Fan said.
"Ahh How did I wake up, how did I not know? Li Zongxiong wondered.
"Chief Administrator, do you still remember when the soldiers of our three brigades first started training in October, you, General Manager Guo, and Lord Yuwen came to watch the soldiers train at night with lights?"
"It's only been two or three months, how can you not remember!"
"It was the words of the chief manager at that time, coupled with another incident that happened later, that prompted us to add the second phase of training."
"Oh, I don't really remember what I said."
"That's right, after watching the training that day, when the chief manager left, he asked the three of us to think again, what are the omissions of this training method, if there are any shortcomings, I hope we will find out as soon as possible and remedy them in time."
"Yes, I remember, I said that when I left."
"At that time, because the soldiers' enthusiasm for training was very high, and the three of us were still in the mood, we didn't care about the meaning of the general manager's words, but an incident that happened later made us feel the disadvantages of this training method, and we had to design this training method to remedy it."
"What happened?"
"It was the two teams of soldiers who fought for the ranks, and it was really this soldier's fight that made us see that although the training and motivation methods were effective, they promoted the soldiers' mercenary thinking, and it was very likely to cause the problem of disunity among the soldiers in the outpost.
"Yes, yes, you have ideas, you have ideas, you can correct the existing problems in time, keep righteousness, you have to promote the new training of the Northwest Battalion as soon as possible, and when the soldiers of the Northwest Battalion are almost trained, I will borrow a large number of people from you to be responsible for guiding the training of the Hedong Battalion, the Yanshan Battalion, and even all the forbidden troops and guards of Daqi." Gai Yanshou said.
"Everything is dispatched from the military department!"
"What else does General Wang Kai think?" Gai Yanshou asked again.
"I also agree with Xiao Min's proposal, if we only consider the ability to fight individually, there is still a certain gap between us and the Khitans as a whole, but if we talk about group cooperation, it is definitely our strength."
After Wang Kai finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes to Liu Fan, and Li Zongxiong said teasingly, "General Liu, tell me your opinion too!" ”
"Boss, I absolutely obey the arrangement of the imperial court, but the problem is that I win the fighting competition, as well as the riding and archery competitions, if there is no guarantee of victory in other competitions, the final result is very likely to lose the entire competition."
"Yes, but there's no better way to do it right now, do you have any good advice for us?"
"I'm thinking, this is on my Daqi's territory, we can't blindly let the Khitan people lead the way, or we can't let the Khitan people say anything, we can agree to the Khitan people's requirements for martial arts, but everything is compared to what, how to compare all the things up to us, if they don't agree, then we can completely put all the blame on their heads, and in the end it will not be our face that will be damaged."
"Brother, what you said sounds very reasonable, but in fact, you didn't say anything, let's go back to the original question of what to compare and how to compare." Wang Kai interjected.
"Yes, the key is still a question of what to compare and how to compare. Governor, I heard that this time there are not only Khitan missions, but also Tubo, Goryeo and even Nanzhao missions, since we want to compete, we simply muddy the water, and pull the other three missions into the competition, as far as I know, the Tubo army is not weaker than the Khitan in terms of riding and archery, and Goryeo and Nanzhao may not be easy to pinch persimmons, so that the Khitan people rely on the advantage of riding and archery may be gone, five teams compete for three events, As long as we strive to win one of these three championships, this competition will be more than able to cope with it. ”
