"More than that." Ye Beijia glanced at Yu Gongcao, and snorted coldly: "As far as I know, Xu Wu County, Jiangyang County, and several other nearby counties have lost contact with us because of the relationship between being cut off by the red-clothed thieves. ”

Liu Yu glanced at Ye Beijia hatefully, and the anger in his heart was even worse, what was the relationship between being cut off by the red-clothed thief, what did the old man Ye say, didn't he say that Maocai and Xiaolian from those counties did not come, because he failed to successfully exterminate the red-clothed thief?

Tian Million took the red-clothed thief to entrench in the hinterland of Youzhou, this matter has always been Liu Yu's heart disease, and Ye Beijia actually pushed the responsibility for Maocai and Xiaolian's failure to arrive on this, which made Liu Yu not hate. It's just that this Ye Beijia has always been upright, and he is different from those clear streams in the court.

Now the Qingliu of the Great Chu Dynasty, because of the interests involved, has long been not as good as it was at the beginning, and their style of acting is not like that of Qingliu celebrities, but has become a group of hypocrites, insidious and obscene, and they do everything they can.

But Ye Beijia is different, most of the clear streams in the court are hypocritical, but there are also some stubborn and stinky and hard guys like stones in the pit, these people are poorer than the other, one is poorer than the other, all of them dare to speak out, even if their top boss makes a mistake, they will not hesitate to jump out, point it out on the spot in front of the public, and even participate in front of the emperor, so that their top boss will lose their official position and abandon their knighthood.

It's just that these people's families are all poor, and they are all famous Qing officials, who are quite favored by Emperor Chu.

In the eyes of this group of people, except for the emperor, no one else is afraid, they fight with the prime minister, with the six Shangshu, and with the emperor's relatives and relatives. Not even the six eleven guards are afraid.

Liu Yu just mentioned it casually, but unexpectedly, Ye Beijia didn't give him any face, and he felt bored, so he changed the topic and said: "Now that the rebellion in red clothes has not been settled, and bandits are rampant in Youzhou, you are the talents elected by various counties and counties, and you should serve the country and solve problems for the imperial court!" ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yu glanced around at Zhong Xiaolian and Maocai, and said lightly: "The old man set up a ring." If any of you feel that you are good at it, you can go to the ring and show everyone what you are capable of. Of course, if your guards have that ability, they can also go on stage to compete! ”

Although many filial piety and Maocai had been prepared, after hearing Liu Yu's words at this moment, they all looked bitter.

Originally, they were elected to become filial piety and Maocai by virtue of their family connections. At that time, he only needs to go to the imperial city to accept the summons of the Son of Heaven, and then he will stay in the imperial city and wait for the vacancy by his own means.

In their impressions. This is the shortcut to embark on a career in office, and now, this Liu Yu Lao'er is not effective in quelling the rebellion, but he wants to pull them to work for him. But Liu Yu's request was high-sounding, and the red-clothed rebellion broke out in various places, and the Son of Heaven didn't have time to summon them. Moreover, after hearing Liu Yu's suggestion, the Son of Heaven also agreed very much, thinking that he could take this opportunity to examine everyone's true talents and learning, and similarly, let these so-called Maocai and filial piety serve the country, instead of just shouting to serve the country, in fact, they just ran to the imperial city and took up real positions.

Everyone saw that Liu Yu had made up his mind, so they had no choice but to go to the school with the high-level officials of Youzhou.

The school field covers a huge area, it is the place where the officers and soldiers in Dongyang City practice on weekdays, and several rings are built on the school field, in addition, there is also a racecourse and archery place.

Liu Yu sat under the gazebo that had been set up in advance, and said loudly: "There are a total of ten rings here, you can go up and perform eighteen kinds of martial arts, and all those who are strong in martial arts will be rewarded by their own officials!" ”

Liu Yu also knows that there are very few of these Maocai and filial piety who are selected from all over the country who can do martial arts, and even if there are a few of them, I am afraid that they will only play a few tricks of three-legged cat kung fu. So in this ring competition, as long as they are the escorts of these people, they can compete on stage.

Their guards showed their skills on the stage, and the so-called credit naturally went to them.

"This time, this official has deliberately left two lieutenants, two generals, three partial generals, ten generals, and twenty military candidates, and as long as you or your guards perform well, this officer can grant you these official positions. Of course, these positions have not yet been submitted to the Ministry of War for approval, but as long as you have made great contributions in the process of counterinsurgency, this officer guarantees that after the end of the competition, what kind of military position will you be awarded, after the counterinsurgency, your official rank will never be lower than the military position awarded after the end of the competition! ”

Liu Yu's words caused quite a stir in the crowd.

Soon, the competition began, and Su Yi took Gao Heihu and others to a ring.

Su Yi whispered to Cheng Lin: "Miss Cheng, how is the archery technique of the women's army under your command?" ”

Cheng Lin squinted at Su Yi and snorted coldly: "Knowing that there is a lack of archers under your command, I specially brought over a few girls with the best archery skills in Hongyu Villa." ”

Su Yi looked at the girls behind Cheng Lin, these girls all looked like flowers and moons, seeing Su Yi looking at them, either shy, or grimacing, Su Yi's eyelids jumped, and he always felt that these goods didn't seem to be very reliable, but fortunately, Su Yi asked Scar to send a few cavalrymen with good archery skills.

Although these archery skills are not as good as the night of the cottage, they are still slightly higher than ordinary archers.

"Very good, Miss Cheng, these brothers under my command will be handed over to you, and you will take them to the archery range over there to participate in the archery competition in a while."

Cheng Lin glanced at the few cavalry brought by Su Yi, she saw the combat effectiveness of these cavalry all the way, and said with some envy at this time: "You guy is really lucky, there are so many elite subordinates, discuss one thing with you, how do you send these subordinates to me......"

"Stop!" Su Yi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'll take them to the archery range by me." ”

"Okay, okay, you stingy guy, can't I tell me!" Cheng Lin glared at Su Yi angrily, and walked towards the archery range with a few women's soldiers and cavalry.

Waiting for Cheng Lin and the others to leave, Su Yi took Gao Heihu and Ma Bin to a ring.

The two sides of the competition in the ring were inseparable, Ma Bin frowned when he saw it, and suddenly sighed.

"What's wrong?" Su Yi sighed when he saw Ma Bin on the side, and asked casually.

Ma Bin shook his head and said: "These people are all using the means of the rivers and lakes, the martial arts are commonplace, all of them are fancy, they are not practical at all, not to mention going to the battlefield, even if they go to the dart, they will definitely not be able to go two miles!" ”

Since he tried it with Gao Heihu, Ma Bin realized the gap between the battlefield and the ordinary martial arts, his martial arts and Gao Heihu are between the best, but Gao Heihu has been on the battlefield for a long time, and the fierce spirit on his body is not something he can have, so when the two competed in the martial arts hall, Ma Bin was able to draw with Gao Heihu with his superb marksmanship at the beginning.

But later, the physical exertion of both sides was serious, and Gao Heihu relied on that courage to smash all the white pole guns he had used for more than ten years, and Ma Bin realized the gap between actual combat and martial arts. (To be continued.) )
