Chapter 72: Comparing Arrows
In the school field, the tiger and leopard rode back.
Immediately, a team of young-looking generals dressed in armor entered the school field.
Liu Xiu saw it in his eyes and saw two of them, and a touch of coldness appeared in his eyes. One of them was Cao Zhang, the son of Cao Cao, and the other was the son of Dian Man, Dian Wei.
The two are in the army and have already made a name for themselves.
In the past, when Liu Xiu was in Xu County, he once met Cao Zhang.
At that time, Cao Zhang, who was loved by Cao Cao, was invincible, and once scolded Liu Xiu in person. Liu Xiu, who was in the previous life, swallowed his anger and swallowed the anger in his heart.
Liu Xiu retracted his gaze and swept over the rest of the people, but found no other people who knew him.
Cao Cao smiled and said, "Mr. Pang Gongzigang, the young generals in the school field, are all the younger generation of children under the command of this official. These boys didn't make a climate, but they insisted on showing it, so they had no choice but to give them a chance. ”
Zhang Hong smiled and did not speak.
Zhang Hong is not a fool, he can hear Cao Cao's voiceover, and he clearly wants to show off.
Pang Degong also smiled slightly and did not speak.
In the school field, a hundred paces away from the young generals, the soldiers set up arrow targets.
The four youngsters in the first row stood up, took their bows and shot arrows, and the bowstrings were shot, all of which hit the target. Immediately after that, the young generals in the second row stepped forward. Wave after wave of shooting, all the young generals, no arrows.
Dian Man and Cao Zhang even hit the arrow target with one arrow, making the arrow target shake, which is even more extraordinary.
After the young general finished shooting, he turned around neatly and saluted Cao Cao.
Cao Cao stroked the beard under his chin and said, "Princes, how is it?"
Civil and military officials, a burst of praise and praise.
Zhang Hong also had to nod and praise him.
Cao Cao looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Mr. Liu, what do you think of their archery skills?" For Liu Xiu, Cao Cao was about to become obsessed, and always wanted to suppress Liu Xiu, but he failed every time.
Cao Zhangdianman and others are about the same age as Liu Xiu, they suppressed Liu Xiu and will not be criticized.
Such an arrangement is most in line with Cao Cao's wishes.
Liu Xiu nodded and praised: "It's really good to be able to hit an arrow target a hundred steps away." ”
"Hahaha......"
When Cao Cao heard this, he finally couldn't help laughing.
That look was very comfortable.
Liu Xiu suddenly said: "It's just that this kind of archery skill can't be called exquisite, it can only be said to be good." ”
Cao Cao's laughter stopped abruptly, his eyes narrowed, and he asked, "Mr. Xiao Liu said this, could it be that Mr. Xiao Liu's archery skills are more exquisite?"
Xiahoudun immediately said, "Could you please show Mr. Xiao Liu his archery skills?"
Xiahou Yuan also echoed: "What you say is not as good as the actual operation after all. If Mr. Xiao Liu can really defeat the young generals below, Xiahou Yuan will be convinced. ”
Liu Xiu shook his head and said: "The battle of will, what if you win, what if you lose." ”
As he spoke, the corners of Liu Xiu's mouth hooked up with a smile.
When these words are said, they are actually retreating as advancing.
Since Liu Xiu has spoken, Cao Cao and the people under Cao Cao will not give up, and they will definitely find ways to get Liu Xiu to go up and shoot arrows, and then strive for the opportunity to attack Liu Xiu.
can't say it, in fact, he is forcing Cao Cao to express his position.
Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Xiao Liu, this official has two swords, one of which is Yitian, and the other is Qingyu. If you overwhelm everyone with archery, the Green Sword will be given to you. ”
For Liu Xiu, even if it is Liu Biao's son, Cao Cao also has the intention of taking it for his own use.
A green sword is Cao Cao's investment, and it is also to stimulate Cao Zhang and others.
Liu Xiu laughed in his heart, Cao Cao this time, but he made a heavy bet, he glanced around at everyone, and said: "A gentleman is difficult to chase after a horse, and Lord Sikong can't take it back if he says it in front of many civil and military people." ”
Cao Cao said confidently: "This bit of energy, the official still has it." ”
Liu Xiu said: "Lord Sikong took out the Qingyu Sword, and if the kid refuses, he won't know what to do." ”
Cao Cao stood up, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go down together." ”
Everyone got up and, under the leadership of Cao Cao, walked towards the school field.
Coming to the school field, Cao Cao's gaze swept over Cao Zhangdianman and the others, and said about the situation of the Qingyu Sword as a bet, and then said: "Who the Qingyu Sword belongs to, depends on your performance." ”
In an instant, Cao Zhangdian and the others were murderous, and the eyes that looked at Liu Xiu were even more unkind.
Seeing this, Liu Xiu knew that Cao Cao was using this to stir up morale. Moreover, if Liu Xiu wins, Cao Cao can use this to sharpen the temperament of Cao Zhangdianman and others. If Liu Xiu fails, he can also hit Liu Xiu.
A green sword, although it is Cao Cao's beloved thing, but for Cao Cao, the sword is a dead thing, and what really matters is Cao Zhangdianman and others.
Liu Xiu said: "Lord Sikong, the archery just now is definitely not their best result. Why don't you let them again. When I shoot arrows, they won't say that I didn't play well. ”
Cao Cao admired Liu Xiu's thoughtfulness in his heart, and even took this into account, and he asked, "You guys, do you want to shoot arrows again?"
"Of course, just coping. ”
Cao Zhang didn't think about it, and answered directly.
Dianman and the rest of the young generals also spoke one after another, asking for new archery.
Cao Cao waved his hand, and a team of young generals all started again.
When it was the turn of the pawn, the pawnman commanded: "Change the iron tire bow, the arrow target, and pull it to one hundred and twenty paces." ”
As soon as these words came out, the generals under Cao Cao's command all exclaimed. One hundred and twenty steps, a distance that requires considerable archery skills to complete.
Soon, the soldier replaced the iron-tired bow for Dianman, and pulled the target twenty paces away.
Standing proud, he held the bow in his left hand and twisted the feathered arrow in his right hand and placed it on the bowstring.
"Drink!"
With a low shout, Dianman's arms exerted force, and the bowstring was instantly pulled apart.
"Medium!"
Dianman's eyes narrowed, and his right hand loosened.
"Buzz!"
The bowstring vibrate, and the sharp arrows burst out of the string, piercing the air, and shooting out with a sharp whistle. In an instant, the bow and arrow snapped and landed on the target.
The bow and arrow trembled, and the target also shook back and forth.
"Hit the bull's-eye!"
One hundred and twenty paces away, the voice of a soldier was heard.
Dian Man's clenched fist was released, he turned to face Cao Cao, hugged his fists and said, "Lord, the last general is fortunate not to be dishonored." ”
Cao Cao also showed a smile on his face.
Cao Zhang was the last one, he also used the iron tire bow, looked at the arrow target one hundred and twenty steps away, and without hesitation, he picked up the bow and arrow, and aimed at the arrow target.
"Medium!"
Cao Zhang roared, and the bow and arrow came out of the string, and hit the target in an instant.
"Hit the bull's-eye!"
Ahead, the voice of the soldier was heard again.
Compared with the rest of the young generals, Cao Zhang and Dian Man both stretched the distance of archery to one hundred and twenty steps. Although it is only twenty steps, the difficulty is multiplied.
Cao Cao looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Mr. Liu, have you seen you?"
Everyone's eyes looked at Liu Xiu.
At this time, Pang Degong and Wen Ping also showed a worried look in their eyes. The two knew that Liu Xiu's swordsmanship was exquisite, but swordsmanship and archery were not the same.
Holding a sword and holding a bow are different concepts.
But at this point, neither of them could stop it anymore.
Liu Xiu's face was calm and calm, and he said, "Lord Sikong, your Qingyu Sword is about to be decided." ”
