After Wang Yong worshiped Dian Wei as his teacher, Zhao Xu also let go of one thing in his heart, Wang Yong was loyal and brave, he was attacked in Bowangpo before, if it wasn't for Wang Yong's desperate protection, he might not have survived today; Therefore, Zhao Xu has always treated him as a brother, and now that his brother has found a master who suits him, Zhao Xu is also very pleased.

The other generals were inevitably depressed because they didn't find good seedlings, but seeing that Dian Wei had accepted a good apprentice, everyone was in a much better mood, under the leadership of Zhao Xu, Liu Bei's subordinates and martial arts all got along well, although there was occasional friction, but it still did not affect the feelings; The ancients were righteous, so they were easier to get along with than later generations.

Seeing that everyone was not in a very good mood, at Zhao Xu's suggestion, they took Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and a group of generals to the Haolong Xuanjia Army Barracks, where they will participate in a very novel sport in this era - basketball. Before Zhao Xu inspected the training in the barracks, he saw that in addition to training, the soldiers were fighting, and there was nothing else to do, and he was bored, so he built a basketball court in the barracks, and taught Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and other generals and all the soldiers of the Haolong Xuanjia Army The playing style and rules of basketball, since Zhao Xu taught everyone basketball, in addition to training and martial arts, basketball has become the main activity of many soldiers. Even Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others are a little can't stop basketball, and they have a deep interest in basketball. It's just that the basketball is simpler, in this era, where to get artificial rubber for a while, fortunately, there are many businessmen in Linzi, and there are also those who sell natural rubber, Zhao Xu had to replace it with cowhide and natural rubber, but just to make this basketball into shape, it took Zhao Xu a lot of effort, but fortunately, it also bounced, although the elasticity was not so strong, but it was still improvised.

Since the advent of basketball, for a while, the barracks have become popular, and now there are relatively few sports, and the only thing that has anything to do with the ball is Keju, but now Keju is mostly a sport that some children or wealthy nobles love, and very few soldiers like Keju. Therefore, as soon as basketball appeared, everyone had a sense of novelty and gradually participated in the sport, and many soldiers learned very quickly; It is worth mentioning that the three special forces of the Haolong Xuanjia Army, the Condor Warriors, and the White Ear Soldiers, are still obsessed, and the three forces often fight against each other. Zhao Xu took the others to participate in or watch a basketball game sent by his own soldiers, so as to relax his busy mood all day long. Zhao Xu usually likes to play basketball in later generations, not to mention that in the era when entertainment activities are far less than in later generations, playing basketball is also a good choice, I have to say that there are too few entertainment activities now.

"Pass!"

"Right, stop him!" "Shoot!"

"Okay!!"

"Bluff! Three points! Hahaha".

More than ten courts, each of which had ten soldiers dressed in two different colors, were "deer" on the pitch scattered with white powder; Around the court, the crowd was excited, and the soldiers who stopped to watch were standing around, cheering and cheering, and seeing their nervous expressions, they were not weaker than the basketball league and the Olympic Games watched by later generations. But also, the victory or defeat of a game does not represent the individual, but the honor of their team.

"Boxiong, I didn't expect these things you made to have such a great charm, now, don't worry about the soldiers' extra energy and time will have nowhere to go. You see, Yide and Dian Wei are also watching from the sidelines, and they are all eager to try. Guan Yu said to Zhao Xu with a smile on his face: "This basketball is very interesting, Guan Mou also wants to set up a basketball court in the Jizhou military camp." It's just that I don't know how to do this basketball, but you can help with this one, how?.

Zhao Xu smiled, nodded, and said with a smile: "This is naturally no problem, I will teach you the method of making this basketball when I go back." Guan Yu was not wrong in what he said, in the past, in addition to ordinary military training, the soldiers under him were only left to compete with each other or run during breaks, and there were really few entertainment activities.

When he was young, Zhao Xu, Guan Yu and others also got off the court, and the generals got together to play a game of basketball, but they didn't expect that Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others were extremely talented in basketball; Especially Huang Zhong, who was originally a sharpshooter, shot the basket with a hundred shots. Guan Yu has height, weight, and strength. Zhang Fei and Dian Wei are both strong and explosive; Zhao Yun has speed and good breakthrough power; Zhang Liao is cool-headed, has a sense of the overall situation, and has a strong attack power. All the generals have their own innate advantages, and they are all strong in martial arts, combined, it can be said that they are invincible, but it is a pity that they were born more than a thousand years earlier, if they are in the later generations, they will definitely be famous in the world.

Just one basketball, can make these brave champions of the three generals can't stop, Zhao Xu played six games in a row, he was really tired, so he left the game, the rest of the people, all continued to play basketball, looking at the rare tired generals like a perpetual motion machine, Zhao Xu couldn't help but shake his head, wry smile, I have to say, in ancient times, people's physical fitness is also better!

It wasn't until it was getting dark that Zhang Fei and the others stopped and dispersed, leaving only Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi to walk around with Zhao Xu. Chen Zhi said to Zhao Xu: "Boxiong, these movements you have created are really amazing, if there are more other sports, the soldiers of the province will have excess energy, and they will cause trouble if they are idle for a long time. Now there is strict training, not to mention, plus these night markets and these sports, presumably there will be no fights and brawls and other incidents. ”

"Haha!" Zhao Xu smiled and didn't speak, for him, there are still many things to do now and in the future, and these are far from enough.

"But big brother, in addition to being both civil and military, you are also so proficient in government affairs and various chores! Zilong sighed to himself! When will I be able to be the same as you with my big brother? ”

's own brothers, Zhao Yun and Zhao Xu are brothers, and Chen Zhi and Zhao Xu are also like brothers, so when the three of them talk together when there are no outsiders, they don't care so much, and they talk casually.

"But Zilong! You praise me too much, I just know a little bit about government affairs, how can I say that I am proficient, but I can stand aside and make some better suggestions. But this basketball was come up with my brother and I racked my brains, and I repeatedly scrutinized this rule, and I thought about it for a long time before it was promoted, but I didn't expect it to be so popular in the army. Zhao Xu knew that Zhao Yun had said this, and he had already thought of the rhetoric, although Zhao Xu was a little shameless, saying that basketball was invented by himself, but now no one knows, and he thinks it's nothing, bragging! By the way, joking with a couple of brothers.

"This is your consistent style, Boxiong, so modest and very much, obviously very proficient, but I understand a little, and I make it like Mr. Zhuge that is crepe. You! Brother and sister also let you spoil the sky, martial arts also said in the past, you always have strange ideas about the art of war and government affairs, let me say what is good about you! Chen Zhi looked at Zhao Xu and quipped.

"How so!" Zhao Xu exclaimed with a slightly exaggerated expression: "How can I spoil my wife to the sky, if you want to say, you are good or not, I have heard Mi'er's sister say that you are obedient to her at home!" Besides, I am just well-informed, and I can make such achievements, but also study the experience left by my predecessors, and stand on the shoulders of giants to guide everyone! ”

Chen Zhi was said by Zhao Xu, and couldn't help but blush; He was indeed obedient to Zhen Mi at home, which also made Zhen Mi, who was originally very well-behaved, infected with Zhao Xue's relatively open and arrogant habits of ethnic minorities. looked at Zhao Xu, who was praising himself in disguise in front of him, shook his head with a smile, and pointed: "You, you, you just said that you are modest, and as a result, you immediately boasted about yourself." You can do it! Let me say what is good about you! ”

"Haha! We are not fuel-efficient lamps for each other. Zhao Xu laughed. As soon as Chen Zhi talked about it, Zhao Xu suddenly remembered something, and immediately turned his head to Zhao Yun and said: "By the way, Zilong, my uncle and I are already married, maybe we will have children soon, and you are not young, why aren't you in a hurry?" Do you want me, who is an older brother, to find relatives for you? ”

"Uh, this." Zhao Yun's face turned red and muttered, "You don't have to worry about this, brother, compare." Zhao Yun was speechless, the people close to him, such as Zhao Xu, Chen Zhi, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhang Liao and others are all married, Guan Yu's eldest son Guan Yu can make contributions, only he is still single.

Seeing Zhao Yun's speech, Chen Zhi quipped: "Zilong is vision is too high, where can ordinary women see it." Boxiong, you say yes or no, alas! Zilong, you are a younger brother, but Boxiong is indispensable to worry about. ”

"Uncle Zhi! you". Zhao Yun's face was flushed when Chen Zhi said this, but it was too late to see clearly, but he still covered his face with his hands, and he was careless in making friends.

Chen Zhi, who was taken by Zhao Xu, teased Zhao Yun, and the play of a few people also relaxed the originally tired body, Zhao Xu and Chen Zhi were both harmonious by nature, and when they got together, they naturally had to joke with each other. Although Zhao Yun is calm, he is not a rigid person, driven by Zhao Xu and Chen Zhi, the time on weekdays is much happier than before, and his personality is a lot more open.

Zhao Xu said on his lips, but secretly thought in his heart: I remember that it was written in the Three Kingdoms that Zhao Yun married Ma Chao's sister-in-law Ma Yunlu as his wife, and Zhao Xue also mentioned Ma Yunlu to Zhao Xu before, saying that she has a cheerful personality and likes this little girl very much. Thinking about it now, I secretly thought to myself, the great achievement of pacifying the north, in a few days, Liu Xie's little emperor will definitely invite Liu Bei to Chang'an to reward him, and Ma Teng will definitely go at that time, if Ma Yunlu is here, he will just help Zhao Yun and Ma Yunlu to be a matchmaker at that time. Although Zhao Xu traveled from the afterlife, Zhao Yun didn't know that he was very respectful to Zhao Xu, and still treated Zhao Xu as his own brother, Zhao Xu also regarded Zhao Yun as his own brother, Zhao Yun got married, and Zhao Xu was also another matter.

"Straight to the point, Boxiong, the two of us will walk around with you, that is, I want to hear how you came up with these things you invented!" Chen Zhi said with a smile. Previously, Wang Yong and Zhou Cang and Zhao Xu could be said to be "inseparable". followed Zhao Xu every day, and after the two of them apprenticed, under Zhao Xu's order, they were allowed to learn art with peace of mind; Zhao Xu had no one to follow and protect, and he felt a lot more relaxed, so this time it was just Zhao Xu, Zhao Yun, and Chen Zhi who came out, and no one was close to protect him, and he also felt that the pressure was reduced.

"Well! Personal preferences are different, the things you like are also different, it is normal to like to do some small inventions in your spare time on weekdays, uncle to if you are fine, also go to study some entertainment activities, you can also exercise your brain! Zhao Xu didn't bother to explain, these things were not original to him, they were just copied from the gourd painting scoop in later generations, that is, Chen Zhi and others had questions, just to give him a problem and make himself cleaner.

Chen Zhi listened to the black line on Zhao Xu's face, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Alas! I'm a martial artist, how can I have this ability, I usually don't have nothing to do, how can I have so much effort to study these. Besides, with you, why bother thinking about these things! ”

Zhao Xu couldn't refute it, this was true. In peacetime, the generals are also busy with the military, and it is indeed rare to have time to relax. Under pressure, Zhao Xu said that it is easy to do things when you have fun. It is true that there is no activity to pass the time, and civil officials often get together to recite poems and songs or observe calligraphy; The generals also often compete and compete with each other; Military strategists such as Zhuge Liang often played chess with generals such as Guan Yu, or conducted simulated battle deductions on the sand table. Zhao Xu is active among civil and military officials, so when everyone gets together, it is still very lively, and the usual exchanges can not only increase the feelings between officials. lest there be discord between them because they are too strange. Zhao Xu also learned from the management methods of later generations and proposed to Liu Bei that officials have collective activities on weekdays, and there will be no situation of forming gangs and factions, and Liu Bei naturally agrees with the harmony of civil and military officials, and Zhao Xu's goal has also been achieved. Although most of the activities are mainly based on the characteristics of the current era, the relationship between the civil and military has indeed strengthened a lot, and there are few confrontations between officials in Qingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou, and occasionally there are temporary disputes. Of course, in addition to merging the state, Liu Bei entrusted Zhao Xu to manage, which was delayed because of the southern invasion of the Xiongnu and Xianbei, and after Liu was crowned king, the state should be well managed.

"Zilong, Shuzhi, when do you say the world will be peaceful?" Zhao Xu looked up at the sky at sunset and muttered to himself.

Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi didn't know how to answer this question, and they also looked at the red sky reflected by the sunset with Zhao Xu, and they were full of feelings.

At this moment, the sky, which was gradually darkening as the setting sun set, suddenly swept through a black gas, straight to the direction.
