With the death of Ma Chao, the five tiger generals, who are the highest honor of the military generals of the Qi State, now say one. This one place must be filled, but there will be a battle for who will make it up.

From the various generals to the ordinary soldiers, they were all waiting for Liu Bei to announce who the new Five Tigers would be, but at this time Liu Bei was also embarrassed. Xuzhou's frustration gave Liu Bei a letter recommending Zhang He to succeed Ma Chao and be promoted to the Five Tiger Generals. On the other side, Tai Shici, who was stationed in Jianye City, also wrote to Mao Sui to recommend himself, hoping that Liu Bei could let him take Ma Chao's position.

Even Guan Yu, who was far away in Yizhou, also sent his opinion, and he recommended the two of them, Wei Yan and Zhang Ren. Letters of recommendation were also sent from all over the rest of the country, but they were far from the previous four. Whether it is martial arts or military exploits, Tai Shici, Zhang He, Wei Yan and Zhang Renna are all the best choices.

Liu Bei couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he summoned Han Fei and others to ask who should be used to fill the vacancy left by Ma Chao. Everyone was speechless, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu were friends, and Zhang He was born in Jizhou. So he strongly supported Zhang He and bluntly said that he should fill the vacancy of the Five Tigers.

Gu Yong disagreed, he and Tai Shici were both officials in Jiangnan and had a very good personal relationship. Therefore, he thought that Tai Shi Ci should fill the vacancy. The rest of the people proposed that Wei Yan should be made, and some suggested that in order to appease Shuzhong, Zhang Ren should be made one of the Five Tigers. Liu Bei looked at the people below, you say a word to me, the key is that whoever says it has some truth! This annoyed him even more. When he was at a loss, Liu Bei suddenly found that there was a person who didn't look at him from beginning to end, but had been drinking tea leisurely, watching everyone talk about it was like watching a farce.

This person is none other than Han Fei, Liu Bei coughed, and the voices of everyone talking became smaller, only to see him speak: "Zicong, I see that you have never spoken!" I wonder if you can solve this problem? ”

As soon as Liu Bei spoke, everyone's eyes were focused on Han Fei, hoping to say the person in their minds from his mouth. At this time, Han Fei felt everyone's gaze, and he said with a smile: "The lord is undecided in his heart, these four people are talents for a while, and I can't say who is more suitable!" Speaking of this, Han Fei paused slightly, and he looked around at the people sitting with different expressions. Some seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, while others turned their heads and didn't know what they were thinking.

Han Fei smiled slightly and continued, "However, if the lord wants to solve this matter, it will be easy. ”

"Oh!" Liu Bei's eyes lit up when he heard Han Fei's words, "Zicong, what plan do you have, tell me quickly!" ”

Han Fei nodded and said, "The five tiger generals are the ultimate among the generals, so you should respect martial arts!" Therefore, I suggest summoning these four people back, and then draw lots to determine the winner as the Five Tiger Generals! ”

"Good!" Liu Bei praised loudly after hearing this, "Do you still have different opinions?" After Liu Bei asked, everyone below looked at each other, and this seemed to be a solution! Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and in the end, no one came out to object. As soon as Liu Bei saw it, he immediately made a decision and did what Han Fei said, and then ordered the four of them to return to Changyi City on a certain day! Then there will be a jousting tournament!

After Liu Bei issued an order, the four generals set off for Changyi City one after another! Among them, Wei Yan and Zhang Ren were the farthest away, and it took them a month to rush to the city of Changyi.

With the return of the two, the date of the tournament was set, just three days later, and the venue was in the square of the city.

Time flies, three days pass in the blink of an eye. Early in the morning, the square was already crowded. Qi is still martial, especially this is the selection of the five tiger generals, which is even more attention-grabbing. So many people came to see the excitement, but it was hard for the catchers and officials in Changyi City, and they all came out of the nest and all went to the square to maintain order! For fear of riots and accidents.

It is true that the catcher and the official are nervous, and the shadows and the dark sword are not easy, countless shadows are interspersed in the crowd, they are all plain, but they can play an unexpected role when it is critical.

Liu Bei came to the square with a group of cultural relics, and a simple stand had been set up here, and Liu Bei and others came to the stand to sit. At this time, Jian Yong came over and asked, "The lords are all here, can we start?" ”

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Let's start!" ”

Jian Yong responded, turned around and ordered someone to call Zhang He, Tai Shici, Wei Yan and Zhang Ren. Then four pieces of paper were prepared, two of which were written with the word A and two with the word B. Then Jian Yong put the four pieces of paper into a box, turned his head and said to the four: "Come on!" Four generals, each of you can only draw one paper ball. ”

The four of them glanced at each other, and Wei Yan took the lead and said, "I'll come first!" With that, he reached into the box and took out a ball of paper. Then the remaining three people took out a paper ball in turn. After all four of them were taken, Jian Yong smiled and said: "Okay, the four generals, you open the paper ball, the one with the same word is the opponent, and the one with the first word is the first to compete!" B, wait a minute. ”

After listening to Jian Yong's words, the four of them opened the paper ball in their hands and saw that Wei Yan and Zhang He were the word A, while Tai Shici and Zhang Ren were the word B. At this point, the draw is over, and Zhang He and Wei Yan will compete first.

Jian Yong told Liu Bei the result of the draw, and Liu Bei ordered them to enter the competition. At this time, Wei Yan and Zhang He both rode horses, Zhang He brandished an iron halberd, and Wei Yan came to the center of the square with a big sword.

Seeing that the competition was about to start, Han Fei suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute! Listen to the two of you, although it is a competition, you can't hurt the vital point, otherwise you will lose your qualification for competition, please remember it! Han Fei finished shouting, turned his head to Zhang Fei and said, "Third General, you are ready!" If they are in a hurry, it is up to you to separate them. ”

Zhang Fei laughed when he heard this: "Flying boy, don't worry!" I'm here to make sure they're okay! Seeing Zhang Fei patting his chest and assuring him, Han Fei's heart was a lot more settled, and he nodded at Jian Yong. Jian Yong immediately announced: "The competition has begun!" ”

With Jian Yong's order, Zhang He and Wei Yan urged the war horses at the same time, and the two horses rushed up to Zhang He's iron halberd and smashed Wei Yan head-on.

Wei Yan was not ambiguous, he raised the big knife in his hand and shouted, "Open it for me!" ”

There was a loud bang, and the iron halberd and the broadsword collided together. At that time, the flames were splashing, and both of them were shaken by the shock. This time it's a close match! Wei Yan took advantage of the shock of his body, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he slashed the big knife in his hand towards Zhang He's chest. Zhang He didn't dare to slack off the iron halberd in his hand, blocking Wei Yan's big knife from his body. At this time, the two horses staggered, and Zhang He suddenly turned around and stabbed Wei Yan in the back with a halberd.
