Chapter 43: Competition
Three days later, the royal hunting grounds.
Liu Hong stood on the platform that had just been built and said to the ministers lined up below
"I believe that all the secretaries have already known the news that the eighth school of the West Park will be formed, today is the day when you witness the birth of the eighth captain, and I hope you have the courage to compete for the rankings, I don't know what suggestions you can put forward."
"The minister thinks it's inappropriate" A military general was instructed by He Jin's eyes, walked out of the crowd and said to Liu Hongshi.
Liu Hong squinted at the general, originally he was just asking habitually according to the usual practice, but he didn't expect that someone would be so blind, and said with displeasure in his voice, "What's wrong?" ”
The military general was a little stunned when he looked at Liu Hong's eyes, but he still had the courage to say, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that once Xiyuan is split into eight captains, it will definitely make the troops scatter and not conducive to unified command."
"Do you want one person to control the military power, do you still want one person to control the military power?" Although this sentence was said to the general, everyone in the audience looked at He Jin.
In this case, He Jin did not insist, and motioned to the military general to retreat with his eyes. At this time, he also knew that no one would support him, because when the news was released just a few days ago, he held a banquet, during which he had already found various door valve owners to discuss, but it was not surprising that most of the gate valves supported Liu Hong's decision.
In fact, the vast majority of the gate lords do not have military power in their hands, and this is the perfect time for them to grasp the military power, when someone touches the interests of these big clans, they will not care whether you are a general or not.
"Who still has an opinion now" Liu Hong looked at the audience coldly, and the aura of the God King emanated.
"Even so, let's announce the rules of this competition," Liu Hong walked to the dragon chair and did it.
Zhang Rang walked to the front of the stage and said in a voice unique to eunuchs with his hands behind his back
"The competition is divided into three stages, the first stage is the martial arts, I don't need to say much about it, it is natural to stand on the martial arts, you can go into battle in person, you can also be the soldiers or even soldiers under its command, the second item of the competition is the strategic battle 'on the army to fight, then to fight, then to fight the soldiers, under the siege '100 soldiers under your command will each hold a wooden stick, the head of the gun is wrapped in cotton cloth and glued to lime in the case of the battle. Test the strength of your soldiers and your ability to lead them. The third test is to increase the difficulty of archery, and test the ability of mounted archery. The addition of these three rankings is your ranking, and I don't know if you have any objections.
"The ministers have no objections," everyone in the audience replied
Liu Cao heard everyone's response and announced the start of the game.
The first item will be decided by drawing lots, adopting a best-of-three system, and everyone has walked to the lottery table with their subordinate generals, this method is still a marketing method that Xiao Yuan told Liu Hong, but he didn't expect it to be used by him.
Xiao Yuan saw the team of Cao Cao's forces in the crowd, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan were all standing on both sides behind Cao Cao.
Similarly, Cao Cao's eyes also looked at Xiao Yuan, and the two nodded to each other when their eyes touched. Then Cao Cao turned his head to the side.
Xiao Yuan followed Cao Cao's eyes.
'Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu'
Xiao Yuan had long memorized the portraits of famous people who could be found in later generations, so he recognized them at first glance.
Yuan Shao was also standing behind the two of them, although they didn't know each other, but their rugged figure also brought a feeling of oppression to the people around them.
When Xiao Yuan led everyone to the lottery platform
"Colleagues, this will be a good time for you and me to be famous all over the world, don't be merciful, I think if a few people die on the competition table, Your Majesty will not blame us" He Jin said to Xiao Yuan on the stage in a strange manner
"It seems that a fight cannot be avoided this time, be careful," Xiao Yuan whispered to a few people behind him.
Zhang Rang stood up at the right time, looked at He Jin with a pair of eyes grim, and said with a gloomy expression: "The casualties in this game are determined by heaven, and in the game, His Majesty will never deal with the side that attacks." But I hope you are cautious, you are all my colleagues in the big man, don't hurt your feelings, it's not good."
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Zhang Rang's words made everyone in the audience suddenly discuss. Many people who originally had a grudge also looked at their enemies at this moment, hoping to meet them in the game.
A total of 20 teams participated in the competition, and the top eight teams in the overall score will be awarded the position of captain.
"It seems that the first game is not easy to do, this one is too anxious to let me get rid of He Jin in the first game?" Xiao Yuan complained that he had already received a summons from Zhang Rang that he must let the generals of the He Jin faction enter the top eight. This lottery machine fake was also a trick given to Liu Hong by Xiao Yuan, which led to Xiao Yuan meeting He Jin's generals in the first game.
"Senior brother, do you want to give it a try, get off to a good start" Xiao Yuan walked to the specially divided audience with the 18th note in his hand, and looked at the generals below who were already in a mess at this time.
"Everything is subject to General Xiao's arrangement"
"Arrogant, but our opponent doesn't look easy to deal with, senior brother, be careful, be careful" Although Xiao Yuan's tone was relaxed, his brows were still full of worry.
"Yo Yo, I'm so lucky, I didn't expect to meet the world-famous General Xiao in the first game, don't blame me for a while," He Jin glanced at the note in the ugly note under his hand and found that it was a confrontation with Xiao Yuan, so he said loudly in the direction of Xiao Yuan.
He Jin did not participate in this competition, and Liu Hong announced that there was no name of He Jin on the list, so He Jin was only represented by the military general Biqiu Yi under his command.
"I hope the general's men will show mercy"
"Haha, haha" Xiao Yuan's words drew a burst of laughter.
"Senior brother saw that the person didn't," Xiao Yuan pointed at Qiu Yi and said, "If you have the chance, kill him, don't show mercy to your subordinates"
Soon it was Cao Cao's turn to be in the audience, only to see Cao Cao ordering Xiahoudun behind him to come to the stage, and on the opposite side was the representative of the Wang family, Xiao Yuan didn't pay too much attention, just let a few people behind him look at Xiahoudun firmly, and told them that this person was very dangerous.
Although the few people behind him were confused, they still listened to Xiao Yuan's words and watched Xiahoudun's movements.
This time the competition was all a horse competition, and I saw Xiahoudun carrying a wooden knife that was wrapped in a knife and shouted loudly and rode towards the other party.
When the other party approached, Xiahoudun's long knife was raised and slashed towards the other party.
'Bang' Because it was a wooden relationship, the opponent's weapon was broken in response, and Xiahoudun's wooden knife was pressed against the opponent's neck.
One round, just one round Xia Houdun won the victory.
"Hah"
Xiahoudun shouted with a knife
