9. Competition

"The last general, Lu Kuang,"

"The last general, Lu Xiang,"

"The last general, Mayan,"

"The last general Li Huan,"

"Meet the Captain."

Yuan Shang's slender eyes swept over the four of them, and except for the other Sima of the logistics department, the other four combat Sima were all there.

The four of them all looked at Yuan Shang respectfully, their expressions were not unusual, and they didn't know what they thought in their hearts.

"Due to the daily training of the cavalry, we did not go to the main tent in time to meet the captain, I hope the captain will forgive me."

Among the four people, Lu Kuang was the best in his brain, and when he saw Yuan Shang's expressionless face, he hurriedly explained, hoping to block Yuan Shang's mouth in order to focus on business.

When Yuan Shang heard this, he looked at Lu Kuang indifferently, how could he not know that Lu Kuang's careful thinking did not know, he also knew something about this Lu brother, the Lu family was also a Wang clan in the Han Dynasty, and the Lu family in the early Han Dynasty had some blood relations, it was said to be its side branch, and it was not weaker than the Yuan family's power in its heyday, but that was hundreds of years ago, and now the Lu family is weak, and has taken refuge in the Yuan family, which is a more powerful family in the Yuan family's peripheral power, and most of the young and middle-aged people of his clan are engaged in the army to serve under Yuan Shao. In Yuan's army, the strength of the army is intricate, and it can be seen by looking at his two brothers and Sima of the other departments of the same Xiao general's battalion.

However, this Lu brother is from the Lu family, and he has some ability, and he is known as the double pride of the Lu family, and Yuan Shang may use the Lu family in the future, so he didn't think about persecuting them too much.

"Lu Sima is serious, of course, it is still military, how can the captain of this school blame a few Simas." Yuan Shang said indifferently.

Lu Kuang glanced at Yuan Shang deeply when he heard this, he treated Yuan Shang as if Yuan Shang knew their brothers, in essence, the Yuan family was their master, and any turmoil that happened in the Yuan family could arouse their great concern, and they had been paying attention to the things related to Yuan Shang that happened in the Yuan family in the past few years, and they had also studied the protagonist Yuan Shang carefully, but they didn't get much information, and they rarely had contact with Yuan Shang, and only on some more formal occasions would they have the opportunity to meet, but those were superficial interactions, It's not a deep friendship, and I can't say I understand it, so I mostly stay on the surface.

When the new official takes office, it is always a very rude behavior to meet the officialdom in time as a subordinate, and it is okay to meet the broad-minded chief, if it is narrow-minded, don't really want to be safe in the future, Lu Kuang and several people united to want to hang Yuan Shang for a few days to express their dissatisfaction, but they didn't expect Yuan Shang to come to the door by himself, and his attitude was understated, which made Lu Kuang feel a little bottomless.

Yuan Shang obviously didn't want to delve deeper into this matter, but changed the topic and said: "A few Simas, gather the soldiers, the captain of this school has something to say." ”

"Whoa."

A few people hurriedly responded, but they were not surprised, when a new official took office, he should always let the soldiers under his command recognize their faces, this was not the Song Dynasty, many times the soldiers did not know the main general's entertainment jokes basically did not exist in the Han Dynasty.

Yuan Shang's arrival caused a slight uproar, and they were both disdainful and a little curious about this new captain, after all, they hadn't met yet.

The soldiers of the battalion were gathered together, the open space was large enough, and there was a temporary platform in the middle, which was mainly used for training and commanding in peacetime.

Yuan Shang stood on the platform, the cold wind was howling, and the corners of his lips were slightly cold, but he didn't care.

"I, Yuan Shang, your captain, I will lead the general battalion in the future."

The venue was silent, waiting for Yuan Shang's next words.

"Before I came to the camp of the generals, I have been thinking about this cavalry camp that is valued by the commander very curious, my mind has always imagined how brave and good you will be, but today I am disappointed, deeply disappointed, you are not worthy of being so valued by the commander at all, there are high-quality horses and excellent weapons but they are all like flowers, and they are useless."

As soon as Yuan Shang said this, the entire training ground was quiet, Bayun and other Tsing Yi swordsmen ignored it indifferently, they were not unfamiliar with this kind of faceless lecture, and they were even used to it, on the other hand, the soldiers present were stunned at first, and after a while, they were in an uproar, and thousands of pairs of eyes in the audience stared at Yuan Shang deadly, looking like they were going to eat him raw.

Yuan Shang waved his right hand weakly, signaling Bayun and the others to put away the knife, but still said mercilessly: "Look at what you usually train, practice riding and archery before you even know how to get familiar with horseback, look at your trembling grandson, waste of military funds and waste of strength to do useless work, waste, all waste." ”

The anger index of the soldiers present escalated again, if it weren't for the fact that there was no mud on the ground, they would have picked it up and greeted Yuan Shang, despite this, everyone's eyes were still slightly red, not sad, but angry, and their cheeks were trembling slightly.

Even the Lu brothers and a few other Sima were also iron-blue, Yuan Shang's words were really naked slaps in the face, you must know that Lu Dao, whether it is daily training or the setting of subjects, it is from their hands, Yuan Shang spared no room to scold the soldiers for being wasteful and fancy, for them, it is no different from scolding them in person.

The ancients were relatively simple, unlike modern people, who had a strong ability to resist insults, especially those who were soldiers, and there were many short-tempered people, and there was no normal physical and psychological venting in the barracks all year round.

In the eyes of the officials, Yuan Shang's insult may not be nothing, but for the people of that era, it can already arouse their anger.

"Then may I ask Lord Lieutenant, maybe we are all a bunch of fancy shelves as you said, but can you please show us what is not called fancy shelves?" In the midst of the crowd, a voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone looked at it, including Yuan Shang, who also followed the prestige, and the person who spoke out was a young soldier, dressed as a military candidate, his face was not very good, looking at Yuan Shang, the provocation was not concealed at all.

"It's frustrated."

"It's a frustrated boy."

"There's a good show to watch."

"That's right, this kid has been a superb rider since he was a child, and of course he is not convinced by being compared to a showman by the captain."

"Hehe, there's a lot to watch, see how Captain Yuan copes."

"Just him, a son of a wealthy family, if it weren't for the fact that he was the son of a handsome, he wouldn't have been able to take his turn as a lieutenant of the battalion."

"That's right, my fifth child also thinks so, these children of wealthy families, it's okay to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, if they go into battle to fight, it's not their part to be a deserter."

"Look, I'm going to make a fool of myself, although this frustrated bird is young, he has worshiped a famous teacher since he was a child, and he has practiced a good martial arts, not only is he skilled, but his riding skills are also very exquisite, I want to see how Captain Yuan copes."

Seeing this, the Lu brothers and several other Sima were still expressionless, but their hearts were secretly refreshed, and all kinds of dissatisfaction with the frustrated Hu on weekdays instantly turned into a must, this kid is not simple, but he is the son of the frustrated master, and the only seedling of the frustrated family, fortunately, the frustrated professor looked at this only son more tightly and did not develop other problems, which made the frustrated professor feel very relieved.

However, young people will always be young and vigorous, and when Yuan Shang said this, he was the first to jump out in dissatisfaction, looking at Yuan Shang with a provocative expression.

"Frustrated, it's this kid."

This guy Yuan Shang has seen it, he himself has always had a good relationship with the frustrated master, and he also saw this kid when he visited the frustrated family, but he didn't expect that the son of the frustrated master was also in the Xiao general camp, first the Lu brothers, and then the son of the frustrated master, this Xiao general camp is worth looking for.

Putting his thoughts on hold for a while, he looked at Yuan Shang, who was still a little green on his face, and said, "Interesting, you can tell me, how do you want to demonstrate?" ”

Frustrated with thick black eyebrows, this guy has inherited his father's appearance and body, and looks like a powerful man.

"You and I each pick a horse, compare horsemanship, archery and confrontation, how can Captain Yuan dare?"

Seeing this, Yuan Shang smiled indifferently, this guy is confident.

"So confident," Yuan Shang frowned, and said indifferently: "Then what if you lose?" ”

"I'm not going to lose," Frustrated Hu said categorically.

Looking at Yuan Shang's slightly fair-skinned handsome face, he didn't believe that with his pampered body, he would be better than someone like him who had been rolling on horseback since he was a child.

"That's not interesting," Yuan Shang shook his head.

"And what are you going to do?"

Yuan Shangluo groaned slightly: "Otherwise, if you lose and then give me a personal soldier, if I lose, I will go to the marshal to suggest that I give you the position of captain of the Xiao General Battalion, okay?" ”

Everyone was in an uproar when they heard this, especially the Lu brothers and others were staring at Yuan Shang deadly, at this moment they regretted it in their hearts, and they couldn't wait to compare with Yuan Shang instead of Frustrated, they had been coveting the position of captain for a long time.

Frustrated Hu himself swallowed his saliva when he heard this, and said, "Can you talk about it? ”

Yuan Shang's eyes were cold and indifferent: "I, Yuan Shang, said that it is difficult to chase after the horse, and I said that it must be done." ”

"Okay, I'm also a person who remembers his promises, if I lose today, you voluntarily give up your current military position to be your personal guard." Frustrated Hu also nodded.

"Let's get started."

As soon as Yuan Shang's words fell, the passion of nearly 3,000 soldiers in the audience was instantly ignited, and this kind of competition has never been seen since the establishment of the Xiao General Battalion.
