"Boom!"

The crowd exploded suddenly, and even the well-trained Qingzhou Army couldn't help but exclaim.

The choice given by Wang Yu, or the bet of this gambling fight, is really terrifying. This is the fate of Na Qingzhou...... No, it's the luck of the whole Hebei and even the world as a bargaining chip!

Promised in front of so many people, if you really lose, can you still get it back? However, the withdrawal of the whole army from Hebei and the refusal to cross the river within three years was tantamount to a fatal blow to Qingzhou, which had just experienced a major battle and suffered great losses, but had not yet had time to receive the results of the battle, and directly retreated before the final decisive battle.

This is equivalent to fighting with Wang Yu and Yuan Shao, and finally having no choice but to quit. If you take into account the loss in terms of prestige, it could be worse than that.

On the contrary, if Liu Yu wins, he will dominate the entire Youzhou and northern Hebei, and suddenly become a powerful man in the world, looking at the Central Plains, and has great hopes of replacing Wang Yu.

And for Liu Yu, all he has to pay is a certain concession in Hejian and Youzhou, uh, plus a remark. Between gains and losses, it can be described as 10,000 profits.

The stakes of this bet are so big and unfair, they are the only ones in the world, and the shock it brings to everyone is great.

Cheng Yu was too late to rejoice, and almost cried with joy. The general trend of the world, if it really becomes like this, for himself and Cao Cao, it cannot be described by the word favorable, but can only be called a miracle.

Zhang Yan didn't care about thinking about his own thoughts, but just stared at Wang Yu in a daze, as if he could see the truth of the evolution of the universe.

Yan Rou's eyes radiated an extremely shining light of greed, it was extremely difficult for the forces of Youzhou to compete for the top of the world, but what they lacked was never soldiers, what they lacked was people. It's land.

The people here are not soldiers, but farmers, merchants, and artisans, without whom it is impossible to produce enough food and weapons. Without weapons, no matter how many soldiers and horses there are, the combat effectiveness cannot be improved; Without food, the more soldiers and horses, the faster they starved to death.

So. Whether it is Liu Yu or Gongsun Zhan, they are all trying their best to expand outward, and Liu Yu does not hesitate to expose the royal family, but also wants to shoot the two counties of Zhongshan and Changshan.

But. These two counties alone are far from enough to provide Youzhou's war potential to sweep the world, at least a few prefectures and counties in northern Hebei must be taken.

Under normal circumstances, this is difficult, very difficult, but Wang Yu put forward such a bet in public, and that is the best chance! Yan Rou looked at Liu Yu unabashedly. urged the latter to agree to Wang Yu's conditions and participate in this gamble.

And Liu Yu is also fluctuating at the moment, with the depth of his city and the breadth of his experience. For a while, he could only suppress the agitation in his heart and think concentratingly about whether there were some traps behind this incomparably tempting bait.

Think about it for a long time. He finally sorted out a general idea, and asked in a deep voice, "This gambling fight." How to bet? ”

Wang Yu shrugged his shoulders and replied relaxedly: "It's very simple, Liu Yuanjun, you will designate a fight or a martial fight, and set the specific items of the designated gambling fight in the future." ”

"How about fighting, what about martial arts?" Liu Yu is calm by nature, no matter how tempting the bet is, he will not make a rash decision without a comprehensive analysis of the whole picture.

"As the name suggests." Wang Yu's expression was still so relaxed, as if the incomparably huge bet did not exist, "Dou, that is, Doucai, poems, songs, and songs are all in it, Liu Yuanjun's family learning origins, presumably they are all very good, Wang Yu is not talented, he is willing to ask for advice with the envoy in person, and the princes will make comments, and they will be divided into high and low, which can be regarded as a good story passed down by later generations." ”

Liu Yu pondered and did not answer, was silent for a long time, suddenly raised his head, looked directly at Wang Yu, and asked, "...... What about martial arts? ”

"Simpler." Wang Yu snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "This alliance is for peace, of course, it's not good to make a big move, it's just a contest of horse foot melee combat, bow horse riding and shooting." There are many talents under the command of Jun, the general of the koji is powerful in Hebei, and the name of Captain Yan is spread outside, all of them are handsome for a while, so that Jun always does not suffer. ”

Liu Yu was silent.

Seeing this, Wang Yu added: "If today's son is covered with dust, our courtiers will guard the territory on their behalf, and in order to stop the fighting, we will divide the defense area, and we have no intention of splitting the territory. The defense areas are still the territory of the Han Dynasty, and the people can come and go freely without hindrance. ”

He kept saying that he was benevolent and righteous, but the big people present knew that Qingzhou just wanted a vacancy to recover the losses suffered in the Hebei War, and to recuperate and save money and food.

However, no one can refute this, and turn over those things that can be done and can be said in private, but cannot be put on the table. It's a pleasure to say it here, but if it gets out, it's ruined.

Liu Yu couldn't hold his breath anymore, he had to come this time, if he didn't come, his momentum would be weak first. Let Wang Yu exert influence on Zhang Yan and Gongsun Zhan, maybe it will become three to one, or two to one, and the other family will be watching.

Zhang Yan's personality is indecisive, not a hero, and it is the right medicine to convince people with virtue for this kind of person, but if he does not participate in the alliance, or refuses Wang Yu's invitation to fight, this reason will not stand very stable. After all, what Wang Yu said is very correct on the surface. Besides, that gambling contract really made him very tempted.

So, he began to seriously think about the question of how to gamble.

On the surface, fighting is the most advantageous, Liu Yu's talent is not top-notch, if Wang Yu is looking for someone from his command, he will definitely not dare to fight. But Wang Yu said that he would go into battle by himself, Liu Yu is also in his sixties, even if Wang Yu has been studying since he gave birth to his mother's womb, it is impossible to beat him.

But the problem is that Wang Yu can't deal with it with common sense!

Liu Yu concluded that Dou was a trap, because Wang Yu could compose poetry!

The poems he made were messy, completely inconsistent with today's popular fu, and the styles were also similarities and differences, but there was no doubt about the quality contained in them. Liu Yu thought to himself that he was not an opponent, and thought of the one that Wang Yu specially added, to specify the gambling method by himself, and he decided that the fight was not feasible.

But martial arts are also not good, Liu Yu's martial arts are average, and he is old, so the two sides can only send their men to play. The martial arts of Lu Yi and Yan Rou under his command are not bad, but the problem is that the lineup on Wang Yu's side is stronger! Lu Yi is good at leading troops, but the martial arts are still a lot away from the top, whether these two people can win Tai Shici together is still between the two, heads-up, no luck.

"Ming Gong, it's comparable to archery!" Yan Rou suddenly leaned forward and whispered in Liu Yu's ear.

"Archery?" Liu Yu's white brows furrowed again, and he muttered: "Qianzhi, are you sure?" You must know that Huang Hansheng in the Qingzhou Army has the name of a magic arrow, so don't be careless. ”

"Don't worry."

Yan Rou smiled confidently: "That Huang Zhong was guarding the western camp and was not present...... Although he is not talented, he grew up in the grassland desert since he was a child, and his archery skills are Xianbei and Wuhuan, and he wears poplars in a hundred steps, and he hits a hundred shots. Avoiding that Huang Zhong is just a matter of importance, for the sake of safety, although there are many brave generals in Qingzhou, but in archery, who can compare with someone, and why should Ming Gong be afraid? ”

"Since that's the case......" Liu Yu bowed slightly, and the expression on his face finally returned to normal.

Yan Rou's collar, he has always known. The Hu people are the most courageous, if it weren't for Yan Rou's superior archery skills and superb martial arts, how could Xianbei and Wuhuan value him so much? Especially Huang Zhong, who has avoided the Qingzhou Army and is the champion of archery, what else is there to worry about?

The plan has been decided, Liu Yu looked at Wang Yu, smiled and said: "Since General Wang keeps saying that in the name of righteousness, if the old man pushes back, he may not be laughed at by the world." General Wang has also heard the name of Captain Yan, so why don't you compete with one of the people present to compete in the art of riding and archery? ”

He relied on the old and sold the old, not to mention several restrictions in one go, and robbed Wang Yu of the right to designate the competition project. But the old man smiled and groaned as if he didn't notice it at all, if Wang Yu argued, he would inevitably have another lawsuit of tongue, and the momentum that burst out in one breath before would be gone.

Wang Yu listened, without the slightest hesitation, and nodded immediately: "Then follow Liu Envoy." Immediately, he shouted softly: "Ziyi ......"

"The end will be here!" Tai Shi Ci was overjoyed, this kind of thing that was in the limelight in public, he liked it the most.

However, to his surprise, when Wang Yu did not propose to fight, he instead stretched out his hand to him: "Bring your painting halberd." ”

“…… Yes? Tai Shi Ci was stunned, as soon as he hesitated, he was glared at by Wang Yu, so he had to turn his head stupidly and ask his soldiers to bring the halberd.

"Go!" Wang Yu didn't take the halberd, raised his hand and pointed to the outside of the camp, and motioned to the guard: "Count one hundred and fifty steps, and stand the halberd over there." ”

"Whoa!" This time, the fool also knows what it means, shooting halberds at the gate, at an ultra-long distance of one hundred and fifty paces.

Yan Rou's expression immediately froze. He is running on a horse, and he is indeed nine out of ten in a hundred steps, but one hundred and fifty steps is not a simple matter of fifty more steps, you know, most of the range of riding a bow is only between a hundred and eighty steps, and the vast majority of riding a bow and more than half of the foot bows can not shoot a hundred and fifty steps at all!

Of course, there is no problem with curved shooting, but in the world, who can use the shooting method of curved shooting?

Of course, it is not difficult for him to find a good bow now, and the bow he usually uses can shoot more than one hundred and fifty paces. But the problem is that his archery skills may not be up to it, he is competing for power in the grassland, and there is no need for Gen to prove himself with a shooting distance of one hundred and fifty steps.

Tai Shi Ci's personal guard legs and feet were very fast, and he had already inserted the halberd in a blink of an eye, and I don't know if he didn't count it well, or deliberately, the distance between the halberd and the gate was probably one hundred and sixty or seventy steps. And Wang Yu was still idle, squinted his eyes and opened them, and pointed to the halberd and smiled: "Just take the painting halberd branch as the goal, the one who wins wins, and the one who does not lose, if you are in the same middle, that is, how about it?" ”

The small branch of the halberd is the tip of the crescent blade, and at such a distance, it is difficult to see clearly, so how can you shoot? Suddenly, there was another burst of exclamations, but Yan Rou laughed instead, and he raised his voice in response: "Why not? Let's look at a certain shot! ”
