Chapter 44: Tug of War

Hearing the shouting here, more troops gathered here, looking at the two big men holding a rope, they were all interested, and they all asked whose idea it was? How do you compare?

"Have you heard, it's the lord's second son. was about to fight, but he stopped him with a word and changed it to a tug-of-war. ”

"Tug-of-war? The first time I heard about ......"

"People who read books know a little more."

"Why is the second son here? Shouldn't you hide in Yecheng to enjoy happiness? ”

"You know what? The second son and Captain Zhang He supervised the grain together. ”

After a while, almost all the soldiers knew Yuan Xi's name.

But Yuan Xi on the field was unaware, he watched the bag swaying from side to side. The cooperation of this group of people is indeed very poor, but there is still some brute strength, especially that Guo Yuan, where can you see that he is from a family, he is simply a brute. One foot was on the ground, the boots were about to burst a hole, and they were still stiff, and the people behind him were staggering, each baring their teeth in different directions. They were able to persevere, all of which was due to Guo Yuan alone.

On the other side, Lu Kuang was basically swaying, as the rope fluctuated everywhere, obviously he was negligible, but the three or four big men behind him were really powerful, and they quickly found the trick, and they just used their strength together, and kept dragging the rope. The next few people also made soy sauce, although they worked hard, but they didn't exert any strength at all.

Therefore, this competition is basically Guo Yuan alone against the three people on Lu Kuang's side, of course, Lu Kuang can actually be regarded as Guo Yuan's side, because he is purely hanging on the rope and dragging his legs. If it weren't for him, his side would have won long ago.

Suddenly, he heard Guo Yuan's roar, and with all his strength, the whole rope fell towards his side, and the defeat was like a mountain, and Lu Kuang's side collapsed all of a sudden, and the three big men bent down together, and Lu Kuang had no strength to deal with it, and the whole team fell forward.

Guo Yuan roared, and he also lost his strength, and actually lay on the ground, panting heavily.

"I won ......"

Lu Kuang tore off the armor on his body and said, "Damn, it's inconvenient to wear this thing, Guo Manniu, it doesn't count just now, let's come again." ”

Yuan Xi raised his eyebrows and said, "I just said that one game will determine the outcome of the game." ”

But it's not that a game is useless, Guo Yuan is completely unable to use his strength, and it seems that he has to rest for a day.

After all, the opposite is the son of the lord, and Lu Kuang didn't dare to be presumptuous, but he just muttered: "It's just a slippery hand for a while." ”

Guo Yuan on the ground said in a weak voice: "If you come again, you will lose, you will lose in tug-of-war, and you will lose on the battlefield." ”

When Lu Kuang heard this, his hair almost stood up, so he wanted to find him desperately. On the other hand, Yuan Xi hurriedly blocked him and said, "I am willing to lose the bet!" ”

The soldiers behind Guo Yuan over there also shouted and scolded, and there was nothing new in the scolding of these soldiers, that is, to greet your ancestor for the eighteenth generation, and the people on Lu Kuang's side were also short-tempered, and when they heard the other party's provocation, they were reluctant to lose just now, so they suddenly rushed up and surrounded Yuan Xi in the middle.

"Get out of the way!"

Zhang He shouted angrily, and the halberd soldiers around him stepped forward together, and the vertical halberd knocked on the ground, making a neat muffled sound, which shocked the people on both sides.

Zhang He said: "Retreat separately, otherwise I will be welcome." ”

"You're welcome?"

A bunch of people suddenly poured out of the crowd, and another thin monkey-looking man ran out angrily with people, saw Zhang He standing there, and said, "Zhang He? He walked up to Zhang He, made a circle, and said, "You are also from my camp, why are you not polite to our brothers?" ”

Zhang He's head suddenly became big, this person is Lu Kuang's own brother Lu Xiang, and he is also a group of veterans who have followed Yuan Shao for the longest time, a little better than his brother Lu Kuang, he has made meritorious contributions, and the first confrontation with Gongsun Zhan, the Youzhou cavalry attacked fiercely, thanks to him to hold the line and prevent the rout. And the most embarrassing thing is that Zhang He used to work under him. After returning to Yuan Shao, at first, Zhang He was not reused, but was assigned to his battalion, and later recommended by him, so he served Yuan Tan and made military achievements in Qingzhou. It can be said that this person can be regarded as his old commander Zhang He.

"General Lu Xiang ......" Zhang He slowed down his tone and said: "General Lu Kuang lost the competition before......"

"What competition?" Lu Xiang's eyes rolled, turned around, and said, "How can we Bohai soldiers lose to these Hanoi soldiers?" It must have been the other party's deception. ”

This Lu Xiang said nonsense from an aura, after all, he was an old senior, different from Lu Kuang, and the audience was stunned.

Yuan Xi walked out of a pile of sweaty men and said, "Who are you?" Didn't you see the competition just now? ”

Lu Xiang said: "Who are you?" Seeing that General Ben actually didn't salute? ”

Yuan Xi snorted and sneered.

Zhang He hurriedly came over and said, "This is the second son." ”

Lu Xiang wiped his beard and said, "Oh, it turned out to be the second son, and he was disrespectful." When Lu followed the lord on the battlefield, you were still a doll wearing open crotch pants. After so many years, it turned out that I had grown up. ”

A chuckle erupted from a group of soldiers behind him. The meaning of it is self-evident, that is, relying on the old and selling the old, relying on your own qualifications, bullying you little doll.

Yuan Xi frowned slightly, this guy actually shocked Zhang He.

Lu Kuang hurriedly said: "Brother, it was just luck to try that Guo Manniu just now, and our hand slipped here." ”

Lu Xiang said: "Isn't this? So you have to have a game, Guo Yuan, what are you doing lying on the ground? Do you dare to compete with me again? ”

Guo Yuan was furious and was about to stand up, when suddenly his arms ached and he lay down again.

Lu Xiang said: "Look, you are nothing more than this, relying on your uncle's recommendation to reluctantly lead the troops, and you dare to run rampant in front of my brother?" Second son, you can also be a witness, it's not that I'm unreasonable, it's that he Guo Manniu can't stand up by himself. Okay, who wins and who loses in this game, everyone can see clearly. Hanoi's soldiers, after all, are nothing more than that. ”

Yuan Shao's soldiers are a lot of soldiers, at the beginning in Bohai County Nanpi as a guard, so the old team are all soldiers near Nanpi, and then came to Yecheng, and there are Yecheng soldiers, and then there are Hanoi and Qingzhou soldiers, these soldiers are each in a faction, no one looks down on anyone, the most superior, is this Nanpi soldiers, after all, followed Yuan Shao for the longest time.

Yuan Xi said: "I said, you can compete again." Do you dare to compare with me? ”

Lu Xiang only looked at the little-known second son at this time, he had a very close relationship with the eldest son Yuan Tan, and was hostile to the third son Yuan Shang, but he never paid attention to Yuan Xi. At this time, I saw that he was not good-looking, and his height was not much taller than himself, and he was immediately happy.

Zhang He knew that Yuan Xi was angered by Lu Xiang's arrogant posture, but he knew that the strong men behind Lu Xiang were all first-class strong men. These people formed the famous Iron Hammer Soldiers, who usually carried heavy iron balls, and often did things to charge into battle, and were extremely brave. Just looking at that size, it's not an ordinary person. So he approached and pulled Yuan Xi and shook his head at him.

Lu Xiang said: "Haha, didn't I just say that I want to have a competition?" Since the second son is interested, I will play with you. How to compare? ”

Yuan Xi nodded at Zhang He, beckoned to Zhao Yun, and said, "What about our pro-soldier team?" ”

Zhao Yun looked behind him, and the expression on his face was complicated. A few of the farmers recruited from Cherry Town, though they were in armor, still looked like farmers, standing behind and cowering, even holding their weapons in a crooked manner. provoked a burst of ridicule from Lu Xiang: "This is your soldier? Second son, do you want me to let you have a few people? ”

Yuan Xi said: "No, I'll use these ten recruits just recruited to compete with you." In this way, you can know that it doesn't matter if you are new or old, it is important to work together. ”
