Chapter 410 Martial Arts Opening
The old man helped the man up, the old man's face was full of smiles, the old man looked at the tall and mighty son, and said with satisfaction: "Yes, you have become much taller and stronger in the past few years, hurry up and let's talk about it with father and son." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Hey, Howler!" With a smile on his face, the man helped the old man into the main hall, a scene of father and son.
The two sat opposite each other, the table was full of dishes, the old man instructed his subordinates to bring an urn of fine wine, and the next person was on the side of the wine, the old man smiled: "This is a fine wine rewarded by His Majesty, but I can't drink too much too sweet, my son is young and vigorous and must love this wine!"
"Oh?" The man's eyes lit up, and he picked up the wine bottle on the table and drank it all.
"Yun Zhao can't, this wine should be tasted carefully, if you drink it all, your throat will be like fire!" Wu Fu hurriedly reminded.
This young man is Wu Yunzhao, the fourth good man of the Sui and Tang Dynasties who came out of chaos a month ago, and now his implanted identity is the son of Wu Fu, the general of the Yue cavalry. After studying art for several years, he has to return only when he has succeeded in learning art.
When Liu Wei had just crossed over and was planning to go to the state, Wu Fu followed Liu Wei there. This person is loyal and righteous, and his status in the Qing Stream of the Han Dynasty is almost the same as Cai Yong and others. In history, Dong Zhuo made a mess, Ding Guan, and Wu Fu both died because of the assassination of Dong Zhuo, and there are poems that praise it: "The loyal ministers of the late Han Dynasty said that Wu Fu was arrogant and heroic in the world." The name of the court thief is still there, and he can be called a big husband in ancient times. ”
This person has a respected status, but he is old and knows that he is not capable enough to quit the court. He usually teaches and educates people in Luoyang Academy, but he is also rare and leisurely, and he has a good death.
Wu Yunzhao listened to Wu Fu's prompt, picked up the wine glass and took a sip gently, and sure enough, a spicy spicy shot straight to his throat, and Wu Yunzhao, who had never drunk this kind of wine, suddenly turned red. After a long time, Wu Yunzhao exclaimed: "Good wine!"
"If only I liked it!"
Wu Yunzhao slowly tasted a few more sips, and gradually became familiar with this taste, the father and son chatted, Wu Yunzhao asked: "Father, I just entered the city and found that martial artists can be seen everywhere in the city, why is Luoyang City so martial now?"
Wu Fu's eyes lit up, and he suddenly laughed: "My son came back at the right time, if there is a martial arts event to be held today, and the martial artists from all over the world gather in Luoyang, it is to participate in the martial arts event."
"Wuju? Is it the same as the imperial examination? The imperial examination selects officials and political talents, and the martial arts examination is not the selection of military generals? I came back from studying martial arts to report to the country, and now I am going to hold a martial arts, I must participate, father, when will this martial arts start? Wu Yunzhao said excitedly.
"It's just three days later, but the martial arts report has stopped, but for my father to go and talk to Lu Gong, it doesn't hurt to add you to it! But that's all, being a father can only help you get here, if you want to win a place in martial arts, you have to rely on your own efforts! Wu Fu said in a deep voice.
"Father, don't worry, I'm about to go to the first place with all my martial arts!" Wu Yunzhao patted his chest and reassured.
"Hehe, this is not necessarily, how many heroes are there in the world? There are tens of thousands of people participating in the martial arts, including His Majesty's Ying Mengxian Xue Rengui, it is not so easy for you to win the first place, and in the end, the top three will have to compete with His Majesty's Praetorian Guard General, Tiger Guard General! Wu Fu stroked his beard and said with a smile, although he felt that his son's martial arts were good, but he did not have the confidence to say that Wu Yunzhao could win the first place.
"Xue Rengui? General Tiger Guard, General Praetorian Guard, who are they? Father, I studied art in the mountains, and I don't know much about the deeds of these people, so tell me about it! Wu Yunzhao wondered.
"This Xue Rengui is His Majesty's Ying Mengxian Minister, he is ...... in Youzhou, I heard that His Majesty's martial arts move this time is to let him win the champion, so that he can have more capital to directly control the military power in Youzhou." Wu Fu summoned Xue Rengui's affairs to Wu Yun one by one.
Wu Yunzhao was ambitious to win the position of martial champion, and when he heard this, he was suddenly unhappy in his heart, and his brows furrowed: "Although this Xue Rengui is strong, but Your Majesty acts like this, doesn't it mean that the position of champion has been given to Xue Rengui?"
Wu Fu's face sank and he shouted lightly: "Don't talk nonsense, Your Majesty is the King of Sainthood, how can you show favoritism?" His Majesty just let Xue Rengui participate in the martial arts, and did not set his position as the champion of martial arts, if you can defeat Xue Rengui and win the first place, the position of champion is naturally yours! ”
Wu Yunzhao said with a face full of shame: "The child knows that he is wrong, but if this is the case, the child will definitely compete with Xue Rengui!"
"My son is as handsome as Zhao Zilong, maybe he can really compete with Xue Rengui!" Woofu nodded with admiration on his face.
Wu Yunzhao looked puzzled: "Father, who is this Zhao Zilong?" Am I so many? ”
"Even if you have lived in the mountains and forests for a long time to learn art, I will tell you about the things of these years!" Wu Fu sat up slightly and told Wu Yunzhao about the major events of the past few years.
There are so many big men and fierce generals, and the stories that have happened over the years are even more innumerable, and Wu Fu said that it was most of the day. Wu Yunzhao was dumbfounded and said in amazement: "Yang Zaixing, Yang Yansi, Zhao Zilong, Ma Mengqi, Chang Yuchun, Xue Rengui, I can't imagine that there are so many of my big generals?"
"Maybe there will be powerful characters in this martial arts, you must not be careless, it's not too early, I'll go to Lu Gong and ask him to add you to the martial arts list, you are at home to review the art of martial arts!" Wu Fu stood up, waved his hand, and walked towards the outside of the hall.
Three days passed in a flash, and on January 15, the martial arts were held as scheduled.
The Yulin Military Academy was crowded with people, and the people were all wearing jackets, and there were many warriors who were not afraid of the cold and wore single clothes. Considering the cold weather, many braziers were set up on the school grounds, and the dry wood in them burned a raging fire, and the school field was warm.
The weather is sunny and has the meaning of spring warmth, which does not affect the holding of martial arts in the slightest.
Wuju first held a martial arts and shooting competition, and after the martial arts shooting competition was over, a competition to break the formation was held.
Martial arts are divided into horse fighting, foot fighting, horse shooting, and foot shooting! Immediately, the skills are placed in the back first, and the first thing to start is step standing and foot shooting.
I saw that above the school field, the periphery was crowded with people, and in the middle was a huge open space, and a high platform was built in the middle of the open space.
On both sides of the platform, one on the left and one on the right is divided into two huge areas, and on the left is the infantry area, which is divided into several squares, one square area is about the size of several zhang square circles, and is surrounded by wooden pillars, on which are surrounded by iron chains. One such area is a playing field, and there are about fifty of them on the left.
Each site is guarded by soldiers on the periphery, and there is an arms rack inside the field, on which there are eighteen kinds of weapons.
The rifle area on the right is divided into rectangular passages, and targets are placed at the end of the passages. There are dozens of such areas.
And in the area on both sides, there is also a small area under the high platform, in which nearly a thousand warriors stand, all of them are today's contestants. It has been notified in advance and is just waiting for the game to come. And on the outskirts, there are countless people, warriors watching.
On the high platform in the middle, the soldiers around Liu Wei stood to protect him, after all, there were many people this time, and there might be assassins from other princes. Liu Wei sat in the middle, and seeing that the hour was almost up, Liu Wei said in a low voice: "Lu Gong, today's contestants have arrived, and the rules can be announced."
Lu Zhi nodded, stood up, Yang Zaixing, Yang Yansi and the two also followed behind Lu Zhi to prevent someone from assassinating, Lu Zhi walked up to the front of the high platform, and looked down on the more than a thousand people who competed today. He said loudly: "On the occasion of the grand event of martial arts, the world's warriors gather in Luoyang, this is a grand event in the world, and I announce at the behest of His Majesty: The first martial arts has officially begun!"
"Long live Your Majesty!" A burst of cheers sounded from the audience, and the sound shook in all directions and lasted for a long time.
After a long time, Lu Zhi pressed his hands, and the cheers stopped one after another, and on the steps of the high platform, the official arched his hands and said loudly: "Please also ask the captain to announce the rules of martial arts!"
Lu Zhi nodded and said loudly: "There are as many as 10,000 participants in the martial arts this time, among which there are those who are strong in martial arts, but there are also many people who are indiscriminate, so we will conduct a knockout round first and eliminate those who are indiscriminate among you."
"The participants in this martial arts competition are divided into three grades: A, B, and C, and if they are below the C level, they will be eliminated." Lu Zhi clapped his palms, only to see a pair of soldiers coming from both sides of the high platform, Lu Zhi pointed to the soldiers under the stage and said: "These are all athletes in our army, and after the review of several generals, their abilities are divided into C grades." That is to say, you have to compete with them first, and the ability to defeat them is naturally above the third rank, and you can continue to compete, while the loser is below the third grade, and you will not be qualified to continue the competition and will be eliminated.
If you can fight with them for fifty rounds, your ability will be judged to be C-class, and you don't need to be eliminated, but you don't have the qualifications to continue the game, you can choose to join the army, and you can still be a centurion with C-level ability! ”
Since ancient times, only the strong can be respected, and these warriors who want to make a name for themselves in martial arts will be blocked by these military masters in front of them. Those who can defeat the athletes in the army can continue to participate in the competition, those who can't beat can get a lunch box to go home, and those who have a tie can join the army.
Tens of thousands of people came to participate in the martial arts, of which only one percent had real skills, and most of the other ninety percent were indiscriminate. Now using these military masters as a yardstick for judging, these warriors all have bitter faces.
If they are allowed to compete on their own, maybe some people can still fish in troubled waters, and the weak ones will meet the weaker ones, and if they are lucky, they will advance all the way. It is also possible that someone is unlucky, and the strong meets the stronger one and is eliminated at the beginning,
And using the masters in the army as a ruler to eliminate martial artists, no one will fish in troubled waters, and there will be no strong people who will be eliminated at the beginning with bad luck. Those who can stay are at least C-class, without a little water.
And each of these military masters is one to ten, and their force has been explored by Liu Wei, and it is also between sixty and seventy. It can be said that it is the elite in the army.
As soon as this rule was announced, many warriors in the audience turned bitter, why were those soldiers mighty and majestic, and they couldn't beat them no matter how they looked?
Lu Zhi's face was cold and he continued: "This competition will end immediately, no one must be injured, and all weapons on the field are available. If it doesn't fit, you can change it, but once you choose, you can't regret it, and you can also choose to bring your own weapons into the venue, but you have to go through the soldiers in advance! A white cloth of lime is prepared at the entrance entrance, and you must first wrap the blade of your weapon in a white cloth and dip it in lime. Whoever can put lime on the opponent during the battle wins! ”
The participating warriors in the audience nodded, understanding the rules of the competition, Lu Zhi nodded with satisfaction and said, "First invite the generals and soldiers to enter!"
As soon as Lu Zhi gave the order, the soldiers in the audience passed through the aisle, went to the competition venues on both sides one by one, and entered the venue to wait for the challenge. On the left is the foot standing competition, and on the right is the archer's competition.
The number of contestants in these two categories is also the largest, and there is a shortage of horses in the interior of the Han Dynasty, and most of the martial artists participate in these two categories. In the horse battle, the number of horse shooters is mostly less, and as for Tao Strategy, the number of broken formations is even rarer.
"Okay, now the contestants are in!" After the soldiers entered the field on both sides, Lu Zhi said loudly.
At this time, the officials at the bottom of the steps issued number plates, which, like the imperial examinations, represented status. On the one hand, it is a test of martial arts, and on the other hand, it is a test of archery.
There were officials on both sides in charge, and I heard the officials shouting: "No. 1 Zhang Chao, you enter the No. 1 venue of the step station, and No. 2 Wang Rin you enter the No. 2 field of the step station!"
The official in charge of infantry shooting on the other side also distributed number plates: "No. 1 Li Yi, you enter the No. 1 field of in-step shooting, No. 2 Zhang Shigui, you enter the No. 2 field of in-step shooting!" (To be continued.) )
