Chapter 156: Martial Arts Training Conference (I)
When Cao Cao heard this, he let out a big breath of evil breath, and with a move of his hand, countless soldiers and horses immediately surrounded him. Geng Ji and Wei Huang led the crowd to fight desperately. Geng Ji picked up his sword and rushed towards Cao Cao, his face like a ghost. Dian Wei shouted loudly, and rushed out a long time ago, snatching Geng Ji's sword with one hand, holding Geng Ji's face door with the other, and pressing Geng Ji to the ground with a sudden force. Wei Huang quickly came, and rushed towards Dian Wei with his sword, and at this moment, a thunderous sound broke through the air. I saw a flying stone hit Wei Huang's front door, and he was about to knock him over. Wei Huang fell upside down to the ground, and the miserable roar was hateful and hateful. At the same time, Cao Cao's eyes as if he could swallow the sky looked coldly at Geng Ji's hideous face, and the word killing had just come out. Dian Wei listened to the order, grabbed Geng Ji's head with one hand, and grabbed it violently. Blood burst out, and Geng Ji was in a different place on the spot.
It turned out that on the day when Geng Ji and Wei Huang went to look for Jin Yi, several people in Jin Yi's mansion heard that the three of them had the intention of rebelling, and it happened that one of them was arranged by Cao Cao, and he immediately reported it to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was furious when he heard this, so he designed to kill him all.
Now Geng Ji and Wei Huang have died one after another, and their servants were all annihilated by the soldiers in a short time, and none of them survived. At the same time, in Luoyang City, two soldiers and horses rushed out, surrounding Erji and more than 1,000 dead soldiers. Erji suddenly guessed that the news was leaking and fought desperately. Xiahoudun led his troops to kill, stabbed Erji to death, and more than 1,000 dead soldiers did not escape, and fought with Wei soldiers. Xiahoudun led the troops to kill for half an hour, causing blood to rain on the streets of Luoyang, and corpses were everywhere.
But it was said that Jin Yi saw that the king would leave the camp, took advantage of the chaos and fled, and ran to the palace, which happened to be the king. When Wang Bi saw Jin Yi, he immediately stared at him, and hit his horse, Jin Yi couldn't dodge, and was knocked to the ground by Wang Bi's horse, and when the horse's hooves flew by, he hit his head. Jin Yi screamed and died on the spot.
The night passed, and the fire in Luoyang was extinguished. The next day, Cao Cao ordered Xiahoudun to kill Jin Yi, Geng Ji, and Wei Huang, as well as their clans. All the officials of the court were shocked. Cao Cao then took all the officials who had a friendship with these three people from their official positions and sent them back to their hometowns, and then ordered Cao Xiu to be the governor of the Imperial Forest Army, Xun Yu to be the prime minister, and Hua Xin to be the imperial historian. Then it was decided that the marquis of the sixth class and the eighteenth level, the marquis of Guanzhong seventeen ranks, all of them were gold and purple ribbons, and the sixteenth level of the marquis inside and outside the Guan, the silver seal turtle and ink ribbon, the fifteenth level of the five doctors, and the copper seal ring and the new ink ribbon. The knight was appointed and the official was sealed, and the court changed another group of characters. At this point, there are no old ministers of the Han family in the court, all of whom are Cao Cao's henchmen. When today's Emperor Han Xian, seeing that the Han family was lonely so far, he was also disheartened.
One day, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty summoned Cao Cao at night. Cao Cao entered the temple and faced the saint, there was no one in the hall, and Cao Cao was full of people outside the hall. Emperor Han Xian stepped down from the dragon throne, knelt on the ground, and said to Cao Cao with a cry.
"The Wei King is full of virtue, and his merits are filled with all over the world, and he is admired by the people of the world. I have ascended the throne of the Son of Heaven, without any merit, but fortunately, with the complement of the King of Wei, the world has been peaceful. Now I am willing to follow the ancient emperor to let Zen, and I hope that King Wei will take over the position of the Son of Heaven. This is really a blessing for the people of the world! ”
Cao Cao listened, closed his eyes carefully, and did not speak for a long time. Emperor Han Xian couldn't kneel, I don't know how long it took, Cao Cao opened his eyes carefully, and said indifferently.
"Your Majesty is a son of heaven, lonely and incompetent, how dare you usurp the throne. I hope Your Majesty will not say this again. If you are still alive for a day, you will ensure that Your Majesty sits firmly in the court and enjoys the respect of the Son of Heaven. ”
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he turned around and walked forward, and wanted to leave. Emperor Han Xian rose up angrily, his face was hideous and vicious, and he shouted.
"I have given you the throne, why do you still play with me. Although the Han is lonely so far, I am still the lord of a country, but I have to be ridiculed by the people of the world all day long. Cao Apu!! What do you want!! ”
Cao Cao's footsteps stopped suddenly, and the impatient wheezing sound of Emperor Han Xian continued to reach Cao Cao's ears. Cao Cao's face was cold, and he slowly opened his mouth and said.
"Your Majesty knows that as the lord of a country, you should endure what others cannot endure. If your majesty is still required to sit firmly in the court today, your majesty will sit on the throne of the son of heaven with peace of mind. ”
Cao Cao said and walked away. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty roared endlessly, and the roar of exhaustion echoed throughout the palace. Cao Cao walked out of the main hall and instructed Cao Xiu, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army.
"You ordered the people in the palace to guard Your Majesty strictly. If Your Majesty has half a hair damaged, you are the only one who asks! ”
When Cao Xiu heard this, he immediately understood what Cao Cao meant. Cao Cao's intention was to teach Cao Xiu to beware of Emperor Han Xian's self-killing.
Geng Ji and Wei Huang's rebellion shocked the world, and so far the last remaining old ministers of the Han family have all lost their lives. The Han court, by Cao Cao, the imperial power of the Han family has been worthy of the name. Cao Cao pacified the chaos, stabilized the court, and the people's hearts were settled. In the early winter, Cao Cao sent an envoy to Chang'an and told Tang King Wenhan that he would march into Shu in the early spring of the following year after the cold winter.
But he said, "It's winter." In the suburbs of Chang'an, a martial arts competition ring was formed and a martial arts training meeting was held. Now that the martial arts training conference has been going on for three days, the number of the two fourth-order martial artists of Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang who came from the 182 prefectures of Xitang has a total of 1,456 people, and none of them are absent. The first stage of the martial arts training conference is as follows, there is a camp dozens of miles away from Chang'an. Contestants should arrive at the camp within three days, and once the hour passes, all those who have not arrived at the camp will be eliminated. Three days later, the first stage came to an end, a total of 832 people were eliminated, and most of the participating warriors were cut in half at once. The second stage is divided into three links. The first link is to lift the stone. The stone weighed three hundred and sixty-eight pounds, and it took three men to move over. The rules of the competition are simple and straightforward. Those who can lift the boulder can move on to the next link, and if they lose, they will be eliminated. After the first link, another 214 people were eliminated.
The martial arts training conference can be described as a major event in Chang'an, and people from all over the world have come to watch. Among them, the most talked-about people are Deng Fan and Wang Shuang. However, he said that Deng Fan was the first winner to arrive at the camp in the first stage. As for Wang Shuang, in the second stage, the first link, he lifted the stone with one arm. And everyone who watched was amazed. The next day, the second session was a test of archery. Those who shoot the hearts of the arrow stacks can move on to the next link.
Wen Shun went to watch the battle with Zhong Hui, Yu Wenke and others. Because a few days ago, Wang Lianxing returned to Luoyang with his father. In order to deal with the affairs of the royal father, Wen Shun did not come to watch. At this time, Wen Shun and the others came to the outside of the city, and the bureaucrat in charge of the competition saw it and hurriedly allocated seats for everyone. After everyone sat down, they saw a person buckle up an arrow, pull a full bow, and shoot an arrow, right in the heart. The golden drums sounded in unison, and the people around were shouting and cheering. Yuwen Ke was not surprised when he saw it, and Zhong Hui bowed his head slightly and praised it. Yu Wenke listened and said.
"This archery is average, if I am asked to shoot, I can shoot the heart with my eyes closed."
Wen Shun listened and shook his head and smiled. Subsequently, the competition was not exciting, and everyone was feeling sullen when they saw it. Suddenly, a young man in a white robe with a face like a crown of jade walked out. Wen Shun saw it, his eyes lit up, and he smiled with Zhong Hui.
"No wonder I went to look for the Guan brothers before, but Uncle Guan said that both of them had important matters, and it turned out that he and the other brothers both came to the martial arts training conference."
Seeing that the young man in the white robe was quite similar to Guan Yu, it was his eldest son Guan Xing. Behind Guan Xing, there was a young man in a green robe, slightly less tall than Guan Xing, and both of them had a pair of shimmering Danfeng eyes. The young man in the green robe is Guan Xing's brother, Guan Suo.
Guan Xing's eyes were attentive, he pulled his bow and arrows, aimed at the red heart, and fired it violently. The arrow flew up, hit the heart, and finally pierced through the past. When everyone saw it, they all applauded. Guan Xing seemed to notice Wen Shun and the others, looked over, and bowed slightly with everyone. Yuwen Ke was very surprised when he saw Guan Xing shoot through his heart. Wen Shun said with a smile.
"Haha. It seems that Brother Guan's archery skills have risen sharply in recent years, but it's a pity that I didn't have time to sign up for this martial arts training conference when I went to Shuofang. ”
As soon as Wen Shun's words fell, he saw Guan Suo pull the bow and shoot, and the arrow flew away, which also broke the red heart. The Kwan brothers won and applauded. After a while, another young man wearing a yellow robe with sword eyebrows and starry eyes walked out. When Wen Shun saw it, it was Xu Gai. Xu Gai is the son of Xu Huang, and his martial arts are deeply inherited by Xu Huang. I saw Xu Gai take ten steps away, pull his bow violently, shoot an arrow from his back, and the arrow flew up, hitting the red heart. This archery art immediately caused a burst of applause. Wen Shun saw it and clapped his hands.
At this moment, a giant man in a red robe walked out and shouted loudly.
"What's so strange about these arrows!? Look at me!! ”
The giant man roared, and the cheering all around him suddenly stopped. Everyone sees it as the fierce man Wang Shuang who lifted the stone with one arm yesterday. Wang Shuang then asked the officials on the side to take three arrow stacks and put them upright. When the officials heard this, they did not know what to do. Wen Shun smiled brightly and said a few words to the bureaucrat in charge of the event. When the bureaucrat heard this, he ordered the executive officials to do what Wang Shuang wanted. Soon, the three arrow stacks were placed vertically according to what Wang Shuang said. Wang Shuang shouted, suddenly pulled up the bowstring, and with a loud bang, the arrow suddenly shot out, and at the same time, the arrow in Wang's hands was broken. I saw that the flying arrow flew up rapidly, first breaking through one of the arrow stacks, and then flying towards the second arrow stack, slamming away, and hitting the third arrow stack's red heart with a 'boom'. Wang Shuang's archery skills immediately won countless thunderous applause. Wang Shuang was very proud and swaggered back.
After a while, I saw a young man in a white brocade robe walking out, and Wen Shun regarded it as Zhao Tong, the son of Zhao Yun. I saw that Zhao Tong was very handsome, quite like his father. Zhao Tong was only twelve years old, and he was the youngest among the participants in this martial arts training conference. Zhao Tong was a little shy, but his eyes were bright, and he seemed to be unwilling to lose his father's majesty, so he pulled his bow and arrows, set up three arrows in a row, and shot them out one after another, only to see that the first arrow hit the red heart, and the second one came quickly, shot through the first arrow, and slammed into the red heart, and finally the third arrow came, not only shooting through the arrow on the red heart, but also shooting the red heart!
Zhao Tong's series of arrows immediately won countless cheers. The golden drums sounded in unison, and Zhao Tong saw that the three arrows were in unison, and he smiled like a child who had won something he loved. Wen Shun saw it and said to Zhong Hui.
"Haha. Unexpectedly, even Zhao Xiaodi came to participate in the martial arts training conference. It seems that this martial arts training conference is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon! ”
"What? Could it be that the prince wants to participate? You have made meritorious achievements in Shuofang, and you are naturally free of worries about the position of military position, so why bother to wade into this troubled water? ”
Zhong Hui smiled and said to Wen Shun. Wen Shun was about to answer, when suddenly his eyes lit up, and he saw Deng Fan walking out. I saw Deng Fan wearing a green robe, and shot an arrow concisely and capably, and the arrow hit the red heart, which was the end in an instant. Wen Shun thought that Deng Fan would have a brilliant performance, but he felt a little regretful. At this time, Deng Fan just glanced at Wen Shun, smiled, and returned to the team. After a few hours, the competition ended. This competition was eliminated, and there were nearly 210 people. The remaining contestants were only 200 people.
