"Tournament?" Fang Xiaoyu frowned, and couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, what age is this still a martial arts competition to determine official positions, when this is the era of wielding a knife into battle? Even if it's a comparison, it should be a comparison of marksmanship. However, Xiahoude didn't give him a chance to refute, and Fang Xiaoyu wouldn't refute either, because before he came, Xia Ziqing had secretly told him that this Xiahoude was different from Xiahou Feng and Xiahou Min, who remained neutral, he was a faction that was closer to the Cheng family, so he would definitely make trouble for him when choosing a position. Fortunately, he thought that Fang Xiaoyu was young and easy to deal with, and thought of such a bad move for a martial arts competition, if he knew that Fang Xiaoyu had been practicing Bajiquan for almost two years, I am afraid he would not say so.

There are five corps in the garrison camp, with a total of 150,000 horses, and it is naturally impossible for these people to go to the school to watch this ring, so all the people present are officers, and the lowest rank is also the company commander. Walking into the school ground, Fang Xiaoyu glanced at those officers, although they were all standing there very casually, their bodies exuded a strong aura of killing, and at first glance, they were people who had fought with real knives and guns on the battlefield.

At this time, the Commander-in-Chief had not yet come, these officers were all standing there chatting in twos and threes, and when Fang Xiaoyu walked into the school grounds, almost all the officers turned their heads to look at him, and then they all continued to chat casually. Fang Xiaoyu's young colonel officer didn't surprise them, obviously they had already gotten the news in advance. At a time when most people were no longer paying attention to Fang Xiaoyu, a few people caught his attention, this was a small group of three captains and a major standing together, seeing Fang Xiaoyu's opinion, the major smiled and nodded to himself.

In the garrison camp, Fang Xiaoyu didn't know anyone, and when he saw such an officer who showed favor to him, he walked over directly because he was curious. Fang Xiaoyu walked up to the four young officers and said, "Hello. The major officer saluted first: "Report to the commander, Feng Shichang, the commander of the Ninth Brigade of the Third Division of the First Army of the garrison battalion, reports to you." The other three also saluted: "Report to the commander, Zhang Mingzhong (Sun Zhonglian, Wei Lihui), the captain of the 9th Brigade of the 3rd Division of the 1st Army of the garrison battalion, report to you." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said: "I don't have a formal military position yet, so I don't have to be so polite, I don't think I need to introduce it." Seeing the kind eyes of the three people, Fang Xiaoyu knew that they must be very familiar with him, and what is the relationship with him. Wei Lihui whispered: "Colonel Fang, I heard that the Commander-in-Chief asked you to decide your position in a martial arts competition just now?" Fang Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Yes, he said that as long as I win, whoever wins can take someone's position." Zhang Mingzhong said: "I think the commander-in-chief will definitely not let officers above the division level come to fight you." Fang Xiaoyu was surprised: "For what?" ”

Zhang Mingzhong explained: "The people in the garrison are all selected from the border army, they are all experienced soldiers, and the officers are all born in the army, and they have worked from the bottom little by little, and they are very capable, but this only refers to the lower level, and the ranks above the division commander are directly held by the nobles." Fang Xiaoyu nodded, even if the commander decided that he would lose, he would not let himself compete with those noble officers, in case any nobleman wanted to convince the Fang family to deliberately lose to him, he would arrange it in vain.

The officers who have risen from the bottom are different, the soldiers are relatively simple, they can go from the bottom to the present with their military exploits to the present very cherished their status, if the commander-in-chief sets the punishment of the loser more strictly before the competition, those people will naturally work hard.

Major Feng Shichang said: "Colonel Fang, I don't agree with your competition, those people's skills are all realized from the battlefield, although they are all wild roads, they are quite powerful. The moves comprehended on the battlefield all pay attention to the elimination of the opponent with the least amount of physical strength, and every move is a killing move, and there is no room to stay at all. This is also due to the fact that before you improved your rifle, your weapon had a slow rate of fire and you often had to participate in white-knuckle combat, so it was very dangerous for you to fight them. ”

"Do you know about my improved rifle?" Fang Xiaoyu had Baji Fist in his body, and he was not afraid of those officers who were just wild paths, on the contrary, he was a little surprised that Feng Shichang knew about his improvement of the rifle. Sun Zhonglian next to him said: "Of course I know Lu Dao, who in the whole army doesn't know that the young master of the Fang family of Lu Dao was only ten years old and solved the problem that made Chief Engineer Zhang helpless, and changed our front-loading guns to rear-loading guns with very little money." Zhang Mingzhong said: "It's a pity that the emperor doesn't believe us very much, only the Praetorian Guards and the City Guards are equipped with revolver rear-loading rifles, and we only use single-shot rear-loading rifles." Wei Lihui answered: "This is not bad, I heard that more than half of the regular army is still using front-loading guns." ”

Fang Xiaoyu was puzzled: "You all seem to be familiar with me?" The four of them looked at each other and smiled, and Major Feng Shichang said: "We have just been transferred to the garrison camp for a year, and we were all from the 29th Army before. Fang Xiaoyu finally understood why they had such a good impression of him, it turned out that they came from the 29th Army, and the commander of the 29th Army was his father Fang Weihong.

Zhang Mingzhong said with a smile: "We are all pulled up by Commander Fang, of course we will face you." Fang Xiaoyu asked with a smile: "Do you have a lot of the twenty-ninth army in the ninth brigade?" Feng Shichang said: "Most of the soldiers and low-level officers are from the 29th Army. Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "Okay, I'll challenge the brigade commander of the Ninth Brigade." ”

After listening to Fang Xiaoyu's words, Wei Lihui said anxiously: "Colonel Fang, didn't you understand our words?" Those soldiers are ruthless masters, you will be in danger, in fact, as long as you don't agree to the competition, the general leader will not be in a bad way. At most, arrange you to the logistics department, otherwise he will disobey orders, and Marshal Xia will shoot him to death. Fang Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "I have my own measure." ”

Several people still wanted to dissuade Fang Xiaoyu, but at this time, an orderly said in a loud voice: "Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief has arrived." Hearing that the Commander-in-Chief was coming, all the officers stopped whispering and stood up straight. Xia Houde walked unhurriedly to the school review platform in the school field, sat on the mahogany chair and said loudly: "Today we first want to welcome Colonel Fang Xiaoyu to join the ranks of our garrison camp, please Colonel Fang to the stage, everyone is welcome." Hearing the leader of the general pointed out to him, Fang Xiaoyu walked onto the school review stage in sparse applause.

Xiahoude squinted his eyes and said: "Since the garrison is full, I decided to decide where he goes in the way of a soldier, that is, let Colonel Fang freely choose the opponent to compete, whoever he wins will take his place, as for the loser......" Xiahoude's face suddenly turned cold, he glanced at everyone with cold eyes and said gloomily: "I Xiahoude doesn't need a loser, I will kick him out of the army if he loses." ”

Xiahoude's words made the people below gasp, and Fang Xiaoyu was also nervous, this Xiahoude really made such a ruthless move, so that the people who were on his own would inevitably work hard, and when the time came, he could shirk it cleanly.

Seeing the other party's shocked expression, Xia Houde nodded with satisfaction, and he then added: "Of course, between the position of Colonel Fang, too high-level officers can't challenge, and too low-level I'm afraid Colonel Fang can't look down on it, so I think let the regiment commanders come up." As soon as Xiahoude's voice fell, more than a hundred strong men walked out of the queue one after another.

Xia Houde looked at the high-spirited people with satisfaction: "You have to have a good fight with Colonel Fang, and I will report to the winner to give him a promotion." More than 100 regiment commanders all agreed. Xia Houde turned his head again and said, "Colonel Fang, this is all the one hundred and thirty-five regiment commanders of the five armies of our garrison, you can pick an opponent at random." ”

Fang Xiaoyu had an idea, and he smiled: "If they win, they can be promoted, why can't I?" Xia Houde was a little stunned when he heard Fang Xiaoyu's words, this kid is really not afraid of death, and he actually wants to be promoted. Xia Houde said: "Then what does Colonel Fang mean......" Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "I want to challenge the brigade commander, if I win, won't I be promoted to the next level?" ”

Brigade commanders are all brigadier generals, if he becomes a brigadier general, Fang Xiaoyu can apply to become a brigadier general, and it is certain that the Fang family will pass the application with the strength of the Fang family in the military department. However, Xia Houde made a wish with the regiment commanders just now, if Fang Xiaoyu's request is not allowed now, it will obviously suppress Fang Xiaoyu, although he and the Cheng family are closer, but in the army, the strength of the Xia family and the Fang family has an absolute upper hand, if he shows the obvious hostility of the other party, I am afraid that he will be excluded by the other party in the future, after all, it is he who broke the tacit understanding between each other.
