Compared with Zhou Xuan's panic, Zhou Yu and Zhou Jue outside the city were much calmer. The first thing they did after arriving in the capital was not to study siege strategies, let alone raise troops to capture the city, but to reward the three armies.

As for why the city was not attacked, the considerations of King Yan and King Qi were the same. Now they don't know if Zhou Rukang is still alive, and acting rashly will only make the people of the world regard them as rebellious ministers and thieves, and at the same time, they also have to observe the attitude of other armies, especially the attitude of the Shu army.

After all, even if it is the capital of the Great Zhou, in the eyes of King Yan, it is just a city full of desires and strife, and it is only a matter of time before it is captured.

A rare liveliness in the barracks of the Northern Army.

On today's point general's platform, there is no solemn and solemn order in the past, but instead of the "Martial Arts Conference" initiated by King Qi and presided over by Li Yuhan.

There is no restriction on rank and qualification in the martial arts conference, whether it is fists and feet, knives and guns, or even bows and arrows, you can compete here, as for the reward, it is a pair of Spring Festival couplets written by the champion Lang Jiying.

Although the reward is small, the emphasis is on honor, so everyone from soldiers to generals is eager to try. At the beginning, the skills of the people who competed on the stage were just average, and then there were more and more capable people, so that everyone was dazzled, sometimes two people came and went, fighting for nearly half an hour, and the onlookers were interested.

Zhao Jun has a young general, less than thirty years old, who looks capable and energetic. He has already defeated four challengers in a row, and one of them is his superior Chai Guangyun.

Jiang Yichen watched from a distance and said to Zhou Yu: "The kung fu of these generals under Guan Shuai is very good, just look at this young general, every move and style is quite orderly, and he must be a good hand on the battlefield!" ”

Zhou Yu nodded with a smile and said, "I think General Chai is acting above board, let him follow Guan Shuai to exercise for a few more years, sharpen his temperament, and he will definitely be able to take charge of himself in the future!" ”

In the afternoon, because more and more people participated, Zhou Jue and Li Yuhan simply opened two more martial arts arenas, and distinguished between cultural fighting and martial arts. Wen Dou is a strategy of the art of war, and Wu Dou is a fist and foot move.

Among them, there was a young man, standing in the ring of Wendou, who dared to compete with Guan Lei by name, and what was even more surprising was that Guan Lei calmly accepted the challenge.

The young man's name is Chang Jian, a newly recruited soldier of the Yan Army, he is twenty-three or four-year-old, clean and neat, walks with the wind, like a martial arts background, but I don't know why I "can't think about it", so I have to fight with Guan Shuaiwen. This provoked almost everyone to watch.

To say that Guan Lei, although he is well-read and brilliant, after all, he is mainly involved in the subset of scriptures and scriptures, and it is only in recent years that he has been trained in the army and has begun to involve the art of war, so everyone is also very curious about whether he can win.

At the front of the ring were Zhou Yu, Zhou Jue, Jiang Yichen and Li Yuhan, in order to increase the excitement of the fight, Li Yuhan proposed to open a gambling game, with Yan Wang Zhou Yu as the east.

This can make everyone happy, a cultural fight, which is more lively than a martial arts fight. Most people buy Guan Lei to win, but Zhou Jue "finds another way" and loses when he buys Guan Lei.

This cultural battle talked about the war and coping strategies in the past and present, talked about the "Art of War" and "Thirty-six Strategies", talked about the method of leading troops, and talked about the way to raise soldiers.

In the end, Chang Jian was speechless when he was refuted, so he bowed down and said, "The grass people have lost, and they are convinced!" ”

Guan Lei replied with a smile: "Your Excellency has extraordinary insight and has conceded." ”

There was a thunderous cheer from the audience.

Afterwards, in order to fulfill his promise, Zhou Yu gave away his full moon scimitar as a reward, and Zhou Jue, who lost the bet, gave away his own portable sword, and later, in order to join in the fun, Guan Lei also contributed his round neck Luo armor.

Against the backdrop of these babies, Ji Ying's Spring Festival couplets instantly lost their brilliance, and in order to compete for a lottery, Ji Ying threatened to give away the waist knife given to her by Jiang Yichen as a reward.

As soon as Ji Ying's words came out, Jiang Yichen was scared half to death. Jiang Yichen hugged Ji Ying's hand holding the waist knife and begged: "This is a priceless baby, please show mercy to the master's subordinates!" ”

Ji Ying liked to see Jiang Yichen's crazy expression, and she said proudly: "This waist knife is of great significance, it is better to see which general can get it first, and it will be the same for you to live with others for a lifetime." ”

Jiang Yichen was so angry that he stomped his feet, he pulled Ji Ying into a corner, pointed at her viciously, and couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

Ji Ying was satisfied, and the jokes were enough, she smiled and tapped the tip of Jiang Yichen's nose and said, "You are so good, I am reluctant to give you to others!" ”

Jiang Yichen was coaxed by Ji Ying's two words, so he hugged Ji Ying's hands, put them to his lips and kissed them, and said, "When will you say such sweet words?" I will always say it in the future. ”

It seems that in order to welcome the arrival of the New Year, on the afternoon of the first day of the Lunar New Year, someone handed a letter to Zhou Yu.

The letter turned out to be sent by Teng Haode.

In front of everyone, Zhou Yu opened the envelope, and he laughed out loud without reading two sentences. This made the civil and military generals present very curious, and they couldn't stop moving forward.

Zhou Yu satisfied everyone's curiosity, and he handed the letter to Jiang Yichen, who had posted it.

Jiang Yichen took the letter, looked at it and laughed. Everyone urged him and asked what was written in it, Jiang Yichen replied in a weird manner: "Teng Haode is worthy of being a big corrupt official, and he said fiercely that he has led 200,000 elite Shu troops out of Jinguan City. If King Yan can crown him as the King of Shu, he will lead the army under the command of King Yan, otherwise he will fight to the death with the Northern Army. ”

Everyone laughed.

Guan Lei said: "The military deployment map of the Great Zhou Dynasty says that the Shu army has a total of about 120,000 people, including 30,000 guerrilla troops, 5,000 logistics troops and 10,000 peasant troops with low combat effectiveness. Where did these 200,000 elites start? ”

"A person who has changed hands many times, and dares to be so arrogant, he will open his mouth when he comes up, this is probably the first joke we have heard this year, haha......" Zhou Jue said with a laugh.

Zhou Yu sat on the right seat and said, "It seems that it is inevitable to conquer Teng Haode, please tell me your views." ”

Teng Haode is indeed a ruthless character, because of the perennial management of the rogue rebellion, so he has a high prestige in the military. But whether it is Zhou Yu, Zhou Jue, Jiang Yichen, Ji Ying, Guan Lei, or even Li Chengyu and Li Yuhan, who have no official positions, all know that the "view" mentioned by Zhou Yu does not only refer to tactics, but more importantly, who to send to lead the troops.

Chang'an is about to be conquered, and it will take a lot of time to conquer Teng Haode. This means that once the emperor dies during this period, then who will be the next son of heaven becomes a big question.

People in the world often don't care who dedicates the most and who has the most credit, but who does the last step. Capturing the imperial city was the last step on the side of the Qing monarch and the last step to ascend to the throne.

To put it more bluntly, whoever stays will have a greater chance of being the Son of Heaven.
