Chapter 3: He Cao (3b)
The more he walked towards the school, the more remorseful General Zuo Wuwei felt in his heart. The Chengnan Campus was specially opened up by Li Yuan last winter by mobilizing young men and strong men to open up for the Zuo Wuwei soldiers, and considering that Mai Tiecane was older, Li Yuan, who was a fine person, also specially built a cool hug with wood and bamboo on the general's platform, so that he could rest during military training. And today, he was confused and competed with Li Yuan. won the junior Liu Hongji, and there was nothing good about it. In case of killing the other party by mistake, I am afraid that the Mai family and the Li family will have a blood feud from now on.
And the reason for all this is nothing but a bitch! Mai Tiezhu glanced at Yu Wenshu beside him hatefully, and said in his heart. He vaguely remembered that the one who first proposed the three uniques of singing, dancing, and piano during the banquet seemed to be this General Yuwenshu. And the one who made himself angry twice seems to be Yuwenshu. Thinking of this, he regretted his recklessness even more, and even the hand holding the whip became more and more weak.
But now that the arrow is on the line, he can't help it. I don't know if someone deliberately notified it, or if the news spread quickly, Zuo Wuwei's generals ran towards the school field on horseback in twos and threes. General Mai has not touched anyone for almost ten years, and many people want to see the demeanor of the old general who has taken the head of the general in the million-dollar army. The show is just around the corner, and those who hear the news are willing to miss it, "Tell the brothers to show some spirit and don't make people laugh!" Li Xu turned sideways and commanded to himself as a samurai. The latter nodded slightly, and spun his horse and rushed towards several groups of brothers. Upon hearing the order, the infantry of the two brigades and the cavalry of the first brigade quickly cheered up and walked through the school gate with twice as serious attitude as in normal training. Although their number was far less than that of the government soldiers who came to see the excitement, they did not lose a single cent in momentum.
"Does Brother Zhongjian think Brother Hongji has any hope of winning?" Li Shimin took a few steps forward and asked unrelentingly. He believes that since Li Xu and Liu Hongji have been in contact with each other for the longest time among all of them, they should also know Liu Hongji's martial arts best.
"I'm not sure, but General Mai is not strong!" Li Xu thought about it for a while, and finally gave a slightly reassuring answer. General Mai Lao is not strong in war, this is the conclusion he has reached after repeated observations. Through the observation technique taught by Xu Dayan, Li Xu even faintly felt that the old general Mai Tiezhu didn't want to compete with Liu Hongji at all now. It's just that the rumors have spread, and no one on either side has a chance to take the initiative to withdraw.
"Really?" Li Shimin's eyes lit up. The two are competing, and the most taboo is soft-hearted. When Li Yuan explained the art of war and strategy to the children, he instilled this idea in him many times. If the facts are really as Li Xu said, Liu Hongji's chances of winning will be greatly increased. But if Liu Hongji really knocked General Mai off the horse? It doesn't seem to be a good result!
While the three teenagers were thinking wildly, Li Yuan slowly walked over with a few personal guards. Tang Gong's face was still so haggard, but his eyes were much more agile than before.
"Zhong Jian, you have been with Hongji for the longest time, how is his martial arts better than yours?" Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Li Yuan approached Li Xuma and asked in a very low voice.
"Whether it is the experience of the enemy or the martial arts, the younger generation is beyond the reach of the dust. Only in riding and archery, the juniors can barely compete with Brother Hongji! Li Xu thought about it carefully and replied seriously. After answering, I felt that someone was quietly pulling his leather armor, tilted his head slightly, and saw Wang Yuantong's anxious face in the corner of his eye.
Tang Gong Li Yuan would not ask these topics for no reason, he asked at this time, he must have thought of a way to solve the current dilemma. Li Xu shook his head, did not dare to be modest, and truthfully told the gap between the two in martial arts.
"I don't seem to have a strong fighting spirit in the old general!" Li Yuan's next words made everyone look at Li Xu with admiration.
"Brother Zhongjian said the same just now!" Li Wan'er happily stepped forward to show her merits, but was glared back by her father.
After glaring at his daughter, Li Yuan glanced Li Xu up and down again, until Li Xu looked at his scalp, and then said in a low voice: "Now both sides don't want to fight, but they can't get off the stage." You're half the age of Hongji, if you play for him.......
"How could Brother Zhong Jian (elder brother) be General Mai's opponent!" Li Wan'er and Li Shimin protested in unison. talked about literature and martial arts with Li Xuriri, although the three of them did not have the same temper, they had a very close relationship with each other. Hearing that his father asked Li Xu to go to his death, the Li brothers and sisters instinctively objected.
"Don't interrupt!" Li Yuan's eyebrows jumped, not angry and dangerous. looked at a pair of children, and then looked at Li Xu, who was puzzled but had a resolute expression, and explained in a low voice: "First, General Mai Lao cares about his identity and definitely doesn't want to hurt a child who is nearly forty years younger than him, so even if Zhong Jian loses, he will not be seriously injured. Second, I guess someone will play for General Mai later...
Before he could finish his words, he heard a commotion in front of the stage. A moment later, a white horse general in silver armor rushed to the center of the school grounds.
"General Mai Lao is the dry city of the country, how can he easily fight with others. The last general is not talented, and he is willing to teach General Liu Beijiang martial arts for General Mai! The people circled and shouted loudly in the middle of the field.
"Tang Gong's vision is so poisonous!" Wang Yuantong and others praised in a low voice. When Li Yuan asked Li Xu to fight for Liu Hongji, everyone was not very satisfied. Although Liu Hongji is very popular among the generals, Li Xu should not be arranged to play for him. In terms of age, isn't Li Shimin's age younger than Li Xu, and when he goes to fight, won't Mai Lao Pifu be even more unwilling to hurt him? As soon as General White Horse came off the field, everyone's thoughts reversed. Just now, Li Xu and Li Shimin only saw that Mai Tiezhu was unwilling to fight with others, but Li Yuan directly deduced the other party's next move. His vision and insight are more than a step above everyone else, and with such a unique vision, his arrangement naturally makes sense.
Without waiting for everyone to figure out the details, Li Xu had already rushed out with his horse. Hei Feng is tall and has fast feet, and Liu Hongji, who was on the field at the same time as him, couldn't keep up with his speed at all. Without waiting for Liu Hongji to speak out, Li Xu rushed to General Baima, held a black knife in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Since the general has ended up for Mai's seniors, he is not talented in his position, and he is willing to ask the general for advice!"
"Asahiko!" Liu Hongji shouted anxiously. The general who ended up was Qian Shixiong, the old general of the Mai Tie Staff, and Liu Hongji had a relationship with him when the Zuowu guards drove into Huaiyuan Town last winter. According to rumors in the army, this person has the courage of ten thousand people, and ordinary generals can't walk in front of him for a round. I challenged General Mai today, and I relied on all my breath, and I didn't have the idea of luck in my heart. If you bring in the good brothers, the deal will be lost to the end.
"Brother Hongji doesn't think I'm as good as others. Let Zhong Jian fight for you first, it's not too late for you to go up again if I lose! Li Xu waved his hand to Liu Hongji and said with a smile.
"Zhong Jian, you are too young! How can you compete with General Qian! Liu Hongji was anxious and angry, and scolded loudly.
"We compare martial arts, not age! I don't think General Qian will despise me because of my age! Li Xu shook his head and retorted with a smile.
The three of them just talked and didn't practice on the field, and the soldiers who watched the excitement below were a little impatient. On boarding, there was a loud noise, and others desperately struck their shields with their horizontal knives.
"Fight!" "Fight!" "Fight!" The soldiers roared as they banged their shields.
"File L" file!" "Files!" The sound of gold and iron resonating was deafening, shaking people's blood and veins. Liu Hongji saw that Li Xu was not leaving, so he had to turn his horse and retreat.
As soon as he left the stage, the noise around immediately disappeared. At this time, the people watching the excitement figured out that it was a child soldier who appeared to be a child soldier, and although both men and horses looked tall, the soft beard that had just grown on his face completely revealed his true age.
"It's a little kid on a big black horse!" Someone whispered.
"He's not small, but his Adam's apple hasn't grown yet!" Someone couldn't stop shaking their heads. In his heart, he secretly scolded Tang Gong Li Yuan for playing child's play, and made a fifteen-year-old boy come out to compete with the famous fierce general, this is not sending him to death, but what he is doing.
"Tang Gong deceived people too much, and he actually sent a doll to end the game" Yu Wenshu, the general of Zuo IG Wei, who was watching the battle on the point general's platform, commented to himself. It's not loud, but it's enough for everyone on stage to hear it clearly.
"The ability is not grown in age!" McIron Rod swiped his beard and replied loudly. For the first time today, he was not provoked by other people's words.
It was a temporary decision made by Mai Tiezhu to replace Qian Shixiong. This is not because he is afraid that his skills are not as good as others, but because his subordinates will compete on horses, and no matter whether they win or lose, the resentment between the two sides will not be too deep. And the other party actually sent a stand-in, which was more in line with his original intention. Neither of the parties played, and the others competed on their behalf, and the aggressive invitation to fight became a game in the army. No matter who wins or loses, the manager can laugh it off.
Thinking of this, Mai Tiezhu waved his hand and ordered: "Come on, pass the old man to beat the drum, and cheer for the two strong men!"
As soon as the words fell, the war drums immediately rumbled. Qian Shixiong and Li Xu heard the sound of drums, straightened their clothes and armor, and each beat their horses and ran away for more than 60 steps. He turned and raised his weapon at the same time.
"Young man, beware, Changsu is here!" Qian Shixiong shouted loudly and rushed forward. Zhangba Changsu was steady and flat, and went straight to Li Xu's left shoulder socket.
He came with the goal of reconciliation, and of course he didn't want to kill him. Li Xu, who was on the other side, also saw the other party's intentions, stepped forward, twisted his body and waved his arm at the moment when the long plastic stabbed in front of him, and smashed the black scimitar in his palm heavily at the junction between the plastic head and the plastic body.
Break EraI! This is a trick that the coppersmith master has practiced with him countless times. At that time, the coppersmith had a word first, and this trick had not been tested in any actual combat, and it was left to fate. Li Xu doesn't know how to use a frame, although the black scimitar is long, it is still countless feet short of the length of the frame, and he is unconditional to stab people. Therefore, he had to take the coppersmith master's unsure skills out to gamble.
Hearing only the sound of "gear L", the dragon-like long plastic suddenly bounced away, but it did not lose control as Li Xu expected, but bent from the head to the center, unloading most of the smashing force. The remaining strength was transmitted to Qian Shixiong's arm, and it was not enough to make his weapon out of his hand.
"Good boy!" Qian Shixiong was loud and wonderful for the opponent's Puli, moved his back hand outward, his forearm was forced, and the long plastic seemed to have life, trembling in mid-air, and swept over again with the strength of the war horse's forward rush.
In this sweep, there are at least more than 300 catties of manpower and horsepower combined. If he forced the black knife to push outward, Li Xu promised that he would be swept off the horse by this plastic. Immediately, he leaned forward to the side, threw the orange off the saddle, and hid his body on the other side of the horse's back. Qian Shixiong swept the air, couldn't accept the recruitment, and watched the opponent run past him.
The two armies were hedged, and the cavalry of both sides usually had only one chance to face each other. The first time you can't hit the other person, you have to hand this person over to your companion behind you. He used the speed of his horse to rush towards the enemy's second platoon of cavalry. But at the moment, it is on the school field, so it is over in person, and the two sides have to bring their war horses back to fight again. After Li Xu and Qian Shixiong ran fifty or sixty steps by the inertia of the war horse, they each turned their horses' heads.
"Good!" Under the school grounds, the cheers were like thunder. Wu Greedy Lang gave Qian Shixiong the upper hand in the duel, which was the result that everyone expected. But the young man who was on the right side of him was cleverly broken, clever in hiding, and skillful in swordsmanship and riding skills were also eye-opening.
The men in the army are usually relatively straight, although the government soldiers and the food guards have a lot of grievances, and when they see the other party's wonderful performance, they will still tear their throats and cheer for them.
The two urged the war horse again, and Qian Shixiong's long plastic no longer deliberately showed mercy. Through the first round of testing just now, he already felt that his opponent was not an ordinary teenager. As soon as the contempt was gone, the strength and accuracy of the hands were greatly enhanced.
Li Xu relied on the immature moves of the coppersmith master, and reluctantly dealt with the second photo. No one needs to remind him, he also knows that he is not General Qian's opponent. The horse plastic is the same as the one used by the infantry captain, and it is actually elastic. When hitting the plastic head, it is simply impossible to get it out of your hands. In this way, he suffered greatly in weapons. Every time, someone else came first, and he resolved the other party's first move before he had a chance to return it.
In the third, fourth, and fifth photos, Li Xu was so busy that he was covered in sweat. It wasn't until the sixth photo that Leng Zi finally returned the knife. Qian Shixiong shook the frame slightly, and knocked the black knife away. The second horse made a mistake in orange kung fu, and also stabbed a hand back to the horse frame, forcing Li Xu to be in a hurry.
"Boy, if you don't admit defeat again, I'll be merciless!" Following the moment when the war horse disengaged by inertia, Qian Shixiong shouted at the top of his voice. To be able to use a scimitar to such an extent, this young man is also very skilled. Beating him off the horse is really unbearable.
"I'm going to release cold arrows, general, be careful!" Li Xu replied without looking back. The area around the school was too noisy, so both of them desperately opened their throats when they spoke. The conversation between them couldn't help but be heard by the other party, and the soldiers who were closer to the two of them also heard a vague idea.
"Hahahaha!" Everyone who heard this, including Qian Shixiong himself, burst out laughing. Before releasing the cold arrow, I also notified it, which kind of cold arrow is it.
Despite this, the crowd stopped making noise. The sound of gongs and drums and the sound of striking weapons affect the ear power, and if the young man really releases the arrow, the sound of the bowstring becomes the only way for Qian Shixiong to judge the cold arrow. Even if everyone loves talent, they must not help Li Xu.
"What's going on?" The iron rod on the platform did not know why the sound of war drums and the beating of shields suddenly stopped, and he asked loudly.
Taking advantage of the fact that the war horses of the two had not yet come back, someone immediately passed Li Xu's words to the general's platform. Hearing this, all the generals couldn't help but laugh. It was a matter of time before the young man riding the dark horse lost, everyone was born in the army, and they were clear about the final result in their hearts. But this person dared to take the initiative to take the initiative to fight for his boss, and he was able to support him for five times under General Qian's frame, which is also a rare talent. Immediately, many people fell in love with talents and inquired about the identity of the teenager.
"This son is Li Yuan's nephew, and it is said that he once killed more than 20 Goguryeo assassins in a night battle! Looking at his skills today, I am afraid that the future is limitless! Yuwen fan smiled and introduced to everyone.
"The Li family is full of talents!" Someone nodded in appreciation.
The same thing sounds different to different people. Some generals are really envious of Li Yuan's good luck, and there are many talents among the younger generations of the family. Some generals secretly frowned, wishing that Qian Shixiong would miss for a while, and waved the young man under the horse.
"Pass the old man's order, tell General Qian not to hurt him!" The wheat iron rod commanded loudly. Seeing Li Xu's style, he already loved talent, but at this moment, he heard that he was Li Yuan's nephew, and he didn't want him to have any mistakes.
"Yes!" The soldiers on both sides agreed, and just about to turn around and give the order. Suddenly, I heard a loud shout from the school yard, "Look at the arrows!" ”
Everyone was stunned, and hurriedly concentrating, only to see Wu Greedy Lang put Qian Shixiong on the saddle and leaned back suddenly, slammed the back of his head on the horse's buttocks, and came to an iron plate bridge in a dignified manner.
"Good!" The connoisseurs couldn't help but cheer. The armor of the Great Sui Dynasty for the general was quite heavy, and Qian Shixiong was very heavy, and the silver-plated iron armor on his body was twenty-five or six pounds. Wearing such a bulky Kai armor and being able to make such a flexible dodge on a horse is indeed worthy of the name of a hundred veteran generals.
After the cheers were over, someone realized that Fang Caigen did not have feathered arrows flying towards General Qian Shixiong, and the dark horse boy had a bow in his hand, shouting loudly in his mouth, but his fingers did not even touch the bowstring.
"Coax," the food guards laughed in unison. dared to play tricks on people in the martial arts arena, Li Xu was the first. Even if he lost to Qian Shixiong today, the grain guards also fought for face.
Everyone smiled like this, and Qian Shixiong's face was a little unbearable. I straightened up and wanted to charge with the plastic, but I just sat up straight on the horse, and I heard a bowstring sound in my ears.
"Hey!" Qian Shixiong shouted angrily and leaned his upright body back again. There was silence at first, then laughter. The sky was blue in front of me, and there were feathered arrows flying somewhere.
With nearly thirty catties of Kai armor, he leaned back twice in a row, even if he was brave enough to be a martial and greedy general, sweat also came out of his forehead. Knowing that he was teased by Li Xu again, he didn't get angry but laughed, his calf pinched the horse's belly, the heel of his boots touched the edge of the golden orange, and he rushed up while straightening his waist.
In an instant, the war horse rushed forward more than thirty steps. Qian Shixiong slowly straightened up, no matter how tricks the other party used, he didn't plan to dodge. The distance between the two men was only a little more than a hundred steps, and as long as he rushed closer, he could push the other person off the horse.
He had just tilted his head up, and before he could look forward, suddenly, there was another sound of wind in his ears. With many years of experience, Qian Shixiong knew that the feather arrow was coming. If you want to lean back again, where is it too late.
I only heard a loud "bang", and then the bells, drums, scratchers, and money kept ringing in my ears. The body seemed to rush into a land and water dojo, and there were Sanskrit singing golden songs everywhere. In front of me, it seems that a dyeing workshop has opened, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and five-color brocade fluttering high.
Finally recovering from the chaos, Qian Shixiong looked closely, only to see a burly young man leading a horse, standing in front of his mount with a smile.
"General Qian's martial arts are strong, and he is willing to be defeated!" Li Xu stood on the ground and arched his hand and said with a smile. He was only a brigade commander and could not call himself a general, so he had to call himself a lowly officer.
Seeing this, Qian Shixiong hurriedly turned over and dismounted. While returning the salute, he said: "Little brother is good at archery, Qian thinks he is not as good." After that, he lowered his head and tore off his iron helmet, only to see a cold carved feather inserted between the helmets impartially. Half a point higher, it will definitely shoot away. One inch lower, it will not be the iron helmet that will be broken, but its own front door.
