Chapter 61: Barracks Game
Judging from the current situation of Huaxing, there are three places where Lu Bu appears most often:
The first is the Lu Mansion, the second is the meeting hall where the morning meeting is held, and the third is the military camp in the west of the city.
Lu Mansion, Huaxing has been there before, and it is difficult to enter;
As for the council hall, let's not talk about how Lu Bu would react, there were thirty or forty civil and military officials present alone.
There was no way for Hua Xing to kill Lu Bu right under their noses, so the council chamber was definitely not a good place for assassination.
In the end, only the military camp in the west of the city remained.
The barracks, at first glance, may sound like a difficult place to start.
But if you think about it, although this place is crowded, it is extremely chaotic and open. Compared with the Lu Mansion and the Council Chamber, it is more suitable for hiding and escaping.
If you can come up with a complete assassination plan, you really have a chance to take Lu Bu's life.
So after leaving the Lu Mansion, Huaxing moved to the military camp in the west of the city and began his second round of intelligence gathering.
Lu Bu's real military camp was actually ten miles east of Hongnong.
This small barracks located in the city was temporarily built to facilitate the recruitment of soldiers.
But even so, Hua Xing, who was born in the military, instantly felt an inexplicable cordiality after he came.
I didn't want to leave when I was shopping, and I sat on the edge of the martial arts arena, and it was a morning when I saw it.
It wasn't until the lunch break that the soldiers had finished their training and Hua Xing was ready to leave.
Just as he was leaving, a group of soldiers behind him suddenly shouted and formed a large circle, as if they were engaged in some activity.
Hua Xing had nothing to do, so he turned around and leaned over to see what these soldiers of the Han Dynasty were playing.
The open space surrounded by soldiers was about half the size of a basketball court.
Within two or three minutes, hundreds of people had already come to watch.
Hua Xing was standing in the back row, but because there were more and more spectators behind him, he quickly became a front-row spectator under the push and shove, and his vision was much better than that of the people behind him.
At this moment, there was a man standing in the circle.
This person was wearing general armor, with a square face and thick eyebrows, thick lips and a green nose, and a slightly chubby body, which was the same General Wei Xu that he had seen in the council hall in the morning.
To say that this Wei Xu, he is similar to Hou Cheng, Song Xian and others, and he is also one of Lu Bu's eight strong generals.
But he has a little more advantage than others: according to historical records, Wei Xu is Lu Bu's "outer and inner relative", and the two are most likely cousins.
Therefore, in the Lu Bu army, Wei Xu's status is relatively high, second only to Chen Gong and Gao Shun and others.
Seeing that the people were almost here, Wei Xu patted his belly and took out a string of copper coins from his arms, and shouted excitedly:
"Come, come, come! It's time for the competition again! The rules are the same as yesterday, only three games! Whoever wins, takes the copper coin. If you have faith, stand up for yourself! ”
The string of copper coins in Wei Xu's hand was about forty or fifty.
If it is replaced by Lu Pu, who has a lot of money, this money will definitely be nothing.
But for this group of ordinary soldiers, this string of copper plates is worth a month's salary.
So as soon as these words came out, the crowd roared incessantly.
Some people are gearing up, some people are licking their tongues and salivating, everyone is eager to try, and the stadium is filled with male hormones.
Just when Huaxing was frowning and puzzled, he saw a tall man walking towards the circle, clasping his fists and shouting: "In Xiahuayin Guo Lang!" Who dares to fight me? ”
This Guo Lang, about 20 years old, is not only tall, but also very muscular, and he doesn't work less at home.
Not long after, from the other side of the crowd, a fat man who was about the same height as Guo Lang walked out.
After coming to the field, he hugged Guo Lang with an unconvinced face, and said heroically:
"Lushan Fangziheng, I'm here to ask for advice!"
Before, after listening to Wei Xu's words, Huaxing guessed that this should be a "martial arts" game.
But he never figured out who was fighting whom.
I thought that Wei Xu was looking for someone to challenge, but now that the two of them entered the venue, they were still hostile to each other.
Hua Xing realized that Wei Xu did not participate in the battle, but these two soldiers competed.
Whoever wins, who can take the copper money in Wei Xu's hand.
Martial arts "games" like this have existed since ancient times, especially among the military.
To be honest, Huaxing hasn't felt this kind of atmosphere for a long time.
Stimulated by the shouts of the surrounding people, the hot blood in his body involuntarily boiled......
Seeing that the two contestants were in place, Wei Xu moved a few steps back and gave up the venue:
"Listen to the rules: no weapons, no injuries! Other...... All at will! ”
After speaking, he saw Wei Xu wave his hand and throw the copper coin between the two.
The moment the copper coin landed, the competition officially began.
Guo Lang from Huayin and Fang Ziheng from Lushan rushed out almost at the same time, and in the deafening cheers, they quickly fought together.
The two are similar in physique and comparable in strength.
After three or five rounds, no one was able to take advantage.
But when he reached the twentieth round, the fat man named Fang Ziheng was obviously a little lacking in physical strength, and he was a beat slower than his opponent in terms of footsteps and punching speed.
Guo Lang will not let go of such a good opportunity, and knocks his opponent to the ground with a fierce attack with his hands and feet.
Then, he unceremoniously rode on the opponent, raised his fist high above his head, and smashed down hard to complete the final blow.
Seeing that his opponent had been knocked unconscious, Guo Lang stood up, picked up the copper coins on the ground amid the cheers of everyone, and walked back to the crowd with a victorious smile.
After finding someone to carry Fang Zi to the team doctor, Wei Xu returned to the field.
As before, he took out a string of copper coins and shouted at the crowd:
"Good! Now for the second round! Is there anything else you want to earn? Only if you have the strength, you can take it! ”
Under the temptation of money, two more people soon came to the venue.
After a fight, the winner took the copper plate, and the loser was sent to the military doctor.
"Good! The last one of the day! Is there anyone else who wants to ......"
But this time, before Wei Xu finished speaking, the crowd suddenly erupted in an exclamation that was even louder than before!
Hearing the prestige, I saw a strong man walking into the circle.
This person is strong, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a mustache.
Not to mention wearing the general's armor, there is also a green cloak tied to the back, which looks majestic.
He is Hou Cheng, who spoke disrespectfully to Huaxing not long ago!
Seeing Hou Cheng walking into the circle, Wei Xu immediately looked puzzled, frowned and asked:
"General Hou, ...... you are"
"Hahaha, I see that everyone is so happy, and I have a little itchy hands! How? General Wei won't let my old marquis see it, right? Hou Cheng said while laughing.
It stands to reason that Wei Xu has made this little game, there is no identity limit, and everyone can participate.
But so far, there has never been a general-level soldier who has participated, and all of them are ordinary soldiers.
Hou Cheng was the first general to offer to join the game!
