Chapter 70: Heroes (1)

At the end of October 187 A.D., the autumn was high and crisp, the paraquat was yellow, the autumn wind blew the fallen leaves, and the vast land was slightly depressed. But outside Luoyang City, the gate of the West Garden is particularly noisy, in order to better see the excitement, the Spirit Emperor Liu Hong specially ordered people to build a huge high platform overnight, and took the civil and military officials to drink on the high platform, while preparing to enjoy the next dragon fight.

There are thousands of shield soldiers under the stage to form a rectangular martial arts arena with a length of 200 zhang and a width of 100 zhang, and the sergeants are surrounded by the people of Luoyang who came to see the excitement, and there are tens of thousands of people in the huge field. Among these people, there are not only ordinary people who watch the excitement, but also heroes who come from all over the world to try their skills.

The hero competition was presided over by the world's famous general, the highly respected Zuo general Huangfu Song. Seeing that the time had come, Huangfu Song gave a slight salute to Emperor Ling and strode to the high platform, and with a few gongs, tens of thousands of people immediately quieted down.

Huangfu Song said loudly: "Since the pacification of the Yellow Turban, the world has been in turmoil, thieves have been endless, and there are water thieves and yellow turbans in the east; There is Qiang in the west, and it is difficult to flat; In the north, there are alien races and Montenegrin thieves rising; In the south, there are mountains and more rebellions, and the barbarians make rebellion; The Son of Heaven saw that the people were poisoned and was also heartbroken, in order to quell the rebellion and return the people to a peaceful and prosperous era, that is, to recruit strong men from all over the world in the West Garden to form an army, called the West Garden Yulin Army, set up eight captains, people with lofty ideals in the world can join the army to serve the country, those who are strong in martial arts can be crowned generals, and those with outstanding performance can be crowned Dutinghou. ”

Although General Pi is the lowest-ranking general, he is also a military attache with a rank of 600 stones, and although the Marquis of Duting is the lowest-ranking marquis, he also has 200 households, which is equivalent to having 200 households to feed you, and at least one family can eat and drink without worry. It can be said that the positions of General Pi and Duting Marquis are definitely for ordinary people to become immortals and ascend to the sky in one step. At the beginning, Liu Bei's three brothers were meritorious, but they only mixed up with the plain county order, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were just archers, and the three of them didn't even see the face of Emperor Ling, Liu Hong could calculate the blood capital this time.

When everyone heard this, there was an immediate uproar, and many people were already eager to try, and the people without force couldn't wait to see this rare hero.

"Bell!" With the sound of a gong, the scene immediately quieted down, and Huangfu Song continued to say loudly: "This time the hero fights regardless of his background, he should be a hero with martial arts, and anyone who has the heart to serve the country and can pull a four-stone iron tire bow or lift a six-hundred-pound boulder, and you can sign up to participate if you complete one of the two." ”

The four-stone iron tire bow of the Han Dynasty is a super strong bow, and if you want to pull it into a full moon, you have to have 500 catties of strength, and it is converted into 212 catties of weights and measures now, which is definitely not something that ordinary people can do. Even Meng Da's generation may not be able to pull the four-stone bow, and this alone will turn away most of the people who have a fluke in their hearts. The same is true for 600 catties of boulders, which greatly limits the number of applicants, and the rabble has no chance to come even if they want to offer ugliness.

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, Luoyang generation is the place of the hidden dragon and crouching tiger, and some people began to sign up on both sides of the venue, but unfortunately most people have not been able to pull the four-stone iron tire bow into the shape of a full moon, and it is more difficult to lift six hundred catties of boulders, only a few dozen people barely passed, and the registration was successful and received the lead charm horse into the field to prepare.

These reporters in charge of registration are all civilian officials, and they are the subordinates of Ma Yueyan, the uncle of the Ma Chao clan, and Brother Xiao Ma has already arranged his own soldiers at the two registration points. He can keep track of the list of participants at any time, and he will be the first to know if there is a person who has left his name in history.

Huangfu Song said again: "Here are a few rules for announcing the heroes of this fight:

One: The competition should be pointed, and you must not maliciously hurt people! Violators should be beheaded according to the law!

2: If the two sides are deadlocked and do not win or lose, it should be jointly assessed by the general, the general, the general of the chariot cavalry, and the general Zhu Jun, and the one who has the upper hand wins!

Three: Do not repeat the battle, and the defeated can also join the West Garden Yulin Army to serve the Han.

Four: Every half of the evaluation of a champion, only need to win the champion of the dynasty Hou can be awarded the title of the Marquis of the Pavilion, lead the post of general, and reward 50 catties of gold!

Five: Based on the hourglass, start the hero fight immediately! ”

Several sergeants carried a huge hourglass, which was often used for timekeeping in the Han Dynasty, but this kind of hourglass for precise timekeeping was more suitable.

With the sound of a gong, one person rushed out of the registration office on both sides, one made a gun, one used a long knife, one with a red face, and one with a white face.

Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and others couldn't help but shake their heads secretly, the so-called experts will know if there is one as soon as they make a move, these two people are just reckless men in the mountain village, even the weapons and war horses are temporarily borrowed, and the shot is even more disorderly, only the strength is great, whoever has the strength will win. Although the brothers He Jin and He Miao have sparse martial arts, they have not led soldiers in vain over the years, and this can still be seen, only Emperor Han Ling is like taking a stimulant, constantly shouting and pointing.

The two fought for thirty years, and finally made the man with the knife slightly superior, and slashed the spear in the hand of the red-faced man with a knife, and the latter could only dismount and admit defeat, and left in despair.

Immediately, another big man with a green dragon halberd rode his horse, and the two fought in one place less than ten times, and the white-faced man who had just won a game was kicked off the war horse. Immediately afterwards, there was a stout man with a long pole hunting fork on foot, the hunting fork in his hand flew up and down, and the birch bow followed, but he also had some ability, and he actually eliminated the big man who made the green dragon halberd with foot combat, and won four consecutive defeats.

Ma Chao's eyes straightened, and he said in his heart: If all the heroes in the world are this virtue, then this hero should not be called a hero, just call it a bear.

The subsequent dozen or so people were all stout men who did not enter the stream, although the shouting was loud, but the viewing surname was very small, only the Han Ling Emperor and the Chinese officials, eunuchs and other laymen watched with relish. As for the military attachés, they know in their hearts that these people are just cannon fodder, and the real masters are waiting for the best opportunity to make a move

Brother Xiao Ma also knows that there are constantly two lists of people who have signed up, and Brother Xiao Ma is also a must-see every time he comes, and he is very disappointed, the list is full of miscellaneous characters, just like these people who compete in martial arts, they are completely self-defeating. However, these people are all strong and strong, and it is a first-class standard to be called as a pro-soldier, and if you train it again, it will be a super pro-soldier team, and it is definitely an existence of one as ten.

Meng Da was also completely busy at this time, whenever someone was defeated and retreated, he had to personally go up to recruit and promise heavy profits, according to Brother Xiaoma's meaning, as long as he was willing to join the champion Hou's personal team, he could immediately receive a pound of silver. And explain to him the benefits of joining the pro-soldier team and the generous treatment of the Shenwei Battalion.

Most of these men came for wealth and fame, and except for a few who refused, more than half joined the Shenwei camp. Ma Chao was also overjoyed after getting the report, smiled and praised Meng Da a lot, this time he brought him out because he was clever and able to speak, and it finally came in handy at this moment.

The soldiers of the iron battalion and the flowing water, two hours passed quickly, and only a small half of the huge hourglass was left, and the level of the people competing on the field was getting higher and higher, but it was still a three-legged cat character who did not enter the stream, and even Ling Yanjing lost interest.

Seeing that the time was ripe, He Jin was finally willing to play his cards, and he first sent Chun Yuqiong, one of the three warriors under his command. I saw Chun Yuqiong holding a long knife with a wind mouth, a yellow horse under his crotch, a helmet and armor, a long bow hanging in front of the horse, and a sword behind his back, and his majestic figure was even more powerful against the background of the thick beard.

As soon as Chun Yuqiong appeared, it immediately caused a round of applause, and a person who looked like a general finally appeared in the martial arts competition for a long time, and Emperor Ling also came to the spirit, and asked urgently: "Who is this person?" Isn't it my Han military attaché? ”

Taifu Yuan Kui replied: "This person's name is Chun Yuqiong, a person from Yingchuan, who can write and martial arts, is known for his bravery, was originally an old man's protégé, and now serves as the captain of the city gate. ”

Emperor Ling frowned, and then nodded: "Since he is a protégé of Taifu, it will be easy to do, if he can defeat the champion Hou, I can make him the Pavilion Marquis, and if he can't win, he can also join the Xiyuan Army, and I will definitely reuse it in the face of Taifu." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yuan Kui was overjoyed, but he knew in his heart that this was a little trick played by Liu Hong, he wanted to share the power of He Jin, but he was afraid that He Jin would rebound, and the best way was to set up more enemies for He Jin. That is, to use other forces to deal with He Jin, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, who are extremely famous at home, are naturally the only choice, but it is a pity that Liu Hong does not know the relationship between Yuan Shao and He Jin, otherwise it will definitely not be so easy to promise.

Chun Yuqiong's horizontal knife was immediately in the center of the field, majestic, his eyes widened, and he shouted: "Yingchuan Chun Yuqiong is here, who dares to fight?" The sound was like thunder, and Brother Xiao Ma could hear it clearly from the huge martial arts field.

The voice fell, and no one responded for a long time, and those miscellaneous fish and rotten shrimp before could be regarded as seeing the real master at this moment, not to mention that this outfit alone is not something that ordinary people can have. But there are always some people who don't know the height of the sky, and sometimes they are willing to do anything in order to be famous, and immediately someone patted their horses and greeted them, holding a spear in both hands and shouting: "Hugh is rampant, a certain family has come to meet you!" ”

"I don't know if I'm alive or dead!" Chun Yuqiong has been observing for a long time, and he knows these people very well, and he is confident that none of the dozens of people who have just been defeated can survive the Sanhe under him.

The two horses intersected less than ten times, and only listened to "Ah! With a scream, the spear-wielding man was immediately slashed from his left shoulder to his right rib by a big knife, split into two, and his intestines, internal organs and other things all flowed out, and his death was extremely miserable!

Everyone exclaimed, but Huangfu Song was furious, and suddenly stood up and shouted: "A bold fanatic, you dare to openly violate the rules and deliberately kill people, do you know that this is a capital crime?" ”

Chun Yuqiong had no fear, put away the knife and rode on the horse without saying a word, but He Jin stood up and hugged his fists and said: "General Huangfu is serious, the sword has no eyes, it is inevitable that there will be a miss, General Chun Yu is really wrong to miss for a while, why don't you fine him ten gold to compensate the family of this strong man?" ”
