Cold ice can't break the water, and dead wood can meet spring again.

I thoughtfully walked out of the tent and saw Professor Wu waving at me and walking straight over, with Professor Due Jiang and Hu Zaide beside me.

"Well, is there any way to convince them to change their strategy?" Professor Wu looked at me hopefully and said.

"It's hard. Even their advisor Ma Liang is powerless, and it is impossible for Liu Bei to listen to any advice now. I looked at Professor Wu and said helplessly.

"There's no other way?" Professor Twilight asked, looking at us.

Indeed, no one can answer this question now, and although we know history, how easy is it to change all this? Fortunately, Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, if he is replaced by other monarchs, I am afraid that he will not even have a chance to speak.

"I... We can... You can find... Look for... Zhuge ... Kudzu... Hole... Kong Ming. Hu Zaide stammered.

"Maybe it's a good idea, Zhuge Wolong is resourceful, and isn't he highly valued by Liu Bei? It must be useful to find him. Professor Twilight said confidently.

"I'm afraid this method won't work, although Zhuge Kongming is in a high position, but this time Liu Bei attacked Eastern Wu, Kong Ming did not approve, Liu Bei left him in Sichuan, and led his troops to attack Wu. It can be seen that even Zhuge Kongming can't say that Liu Bei can be moved, let alone us? "I don't approve of this approach, but I can't think of anything better for a while.

"It's... Neither... No, that's... That's not either... No, I... We get to... What the hell should I do... What to do?" Hu Zaide looked at us.

We can now say that we are at a loss, neither can we persuade Liu Bei to change our strategy, nor can we ask Zhuge Kongming to help. The wind was very strong at night, and it was a little cool on my face, so I tightened my collar to block out some of the cold wind. But the wind blew on his face, and it was still a little cold.

While we were deliberating, there was a sudden uproar in the army, and a soldier who happened to be walking towards us stepped forward and asked, "What is going on with this soldier?" Why is there such a noise in the military? ”

The soldier looked at us and said, "Why are you staying here because you don't look like you're in our army?" Don't leave quickly. ”

"We are indeed not in the army, but we are all friends of Liu Xuande, the king of Hanzhong, who brought us into the army." I replied.

"So that's the case, forgive the eyes below and don't know Taishan, and there are many offenses in the words before." The soldier's attitude was noticeably more relaxed.

"It doesn't matter, there is a lot of discipline in the army, understandable. I hope to ask what is going on ahead? I continued.

"Your Excellency didn't know when you first arrived, there is a general competition in the army today, no matter who it is, you can participate, if you win, you will be awarded an official rank, I won't say more to you, it's about to start." After saying this, the soldier hurried forward.

Martial arts competition? It sounds like it must be a puzzle set by Mr. Ouyang Yu again, maybe there will be new hints, even if it is not, it is very worthwhile to see the demeanor of the generals of Shu with their own eyes. "Professor Wu, it's hard for us to think of any foolproof solution for a while, so let's go and see it first, maybe it will be of some help." I suggested on the sidelines.

"Cheng Yin is right, it seems to be very lively in front, let's go and have a look, right?" Professor Twie agreed.

"Okay, let's go and see it first, and then think about it in the long run." Professor Wu nodded.

Although it was night, the field of the competition in front of us was like daylight, and the surrounding fires lit up the competition field, and we walked over to find the firelight, and the competition venue was made of logs, presenting a square.

I saw a general standing in the ring, holding a long-handled broadsword, majestic, and a large group of soldiers standing under the ring, but no one dared to stand in the ring.

"Why doesn't anyone dare to fight me?" The generals in the ring roared and waved the blades in their hands.

"You go up and try it? If you win, maybe you'll be crowned a captain or something. ”

"You're amazing, why don't you go up and fight?"

"Don't fight, I heard that the soldier who fought last time was seriously injured and is still recuperating! As far as we're concerned, let's take a look below. ”

"Is it really that powerful?"

"Of course."

The soldiers under the ring talked a lot, but none of them dared to go to the ring, but it was not surprising that the general in the ring was burly and had a big sword in his hand, no wonder there were so many soldiers in the ring, but no one went to fight. Who is this general?

"Who is this soldier, who is that man on the stage? It looks so powerful. I thought the soldier next to me asked.

"Why don't you even know him, this person is the general of Shu [Note 1] Wu Yuanxiong!" The soldier replied.

"Wu Ban? Wu Yuanxiong? I almost exclaimed.

It turned out that the general standing in the ring was Wu Ban. He is one of the important generals in this battle of Yiling. When I think of this, I can't help but feel a little excited.

At this time, a soldier finally stepped into the ring under the recommendation of everyone.

"I want to ask the general for advice, and please give me advice." After the man finished speaking, he put on a posture and prepared to attack with all his might. But Wu Ban didn't move, he stood there and looked at the soldier in front of him, the soldier clenched his spear and stabbed at Wu Ban, but the spear hadn't touched Wu Ban yet, but it suddenly retracted and attacked him from another place.

Wu Ban turned sideways as if he had known it for a long time, and the spear swung into the air, but it was too late to retract it, so he blocked sideways. but was shaken open by a broadsword. Almost fell out of the ring.

The fierce battle in the ring made the soldiers in the audience watch the fight between the two people intently.

Just when we were engrossed, the soldier turned his spear backhand and struck at Wu Ban, who just wanted to block it with his blade, but the soldier pressed his shoulder against the hilt of the knife, and at the last moment, he saw that the spear was about to hit Wu Ban's body.

[Note 1] Wu Ban, the character Yuanxiong, was a native of Chenliu County (now Kaifeng City, Henan Province). A general of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period. In order to lead the army, he participated in the battle of Wu with Liu Bei, and later participated in the Northern Expedition against Cao Weide with Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han, and broke Sima Yi in the Northern Expedition in 231 AD (the ninth year of Jianxing). The official is a hussar general, and he is the marquis of Mianzhu. Wu Ban was known for his boldness and chivalry at that time, and because his sister Wu was the queen of Shu Han Mu, she had a high status among the Shu Han generals.
