Seeing that the situation in Jingzhou was about to turn into a pot of porridge. The Jin Kingdom, which was far away in the north, did not let people stop, and suddenly published a major piece of news in various newspapers that made people scratch their heads.

Several newspapers at the same time used the same headline to cover the event.

The name of the message is: "Notice on Holding a National Sports Event in the Summer and Autumn of this Year". If you just look at this title, it will definitely make people fall into the clouds, and I don't know that this so-called all-** sports event is a magic thing. However, fortunately, the main body of the article is clearly stated, clarifying that the purpose of holding this grand event is to promote the unity and friendship and harmonious coexistence of the people of all ethnic groups in the east, west, north and south states, and at the same time to mobilize the enthusiasm of the whole people to consciously and voluntarily improve their physical fitness through standard and fair sports competitions.

Needless to say, the mastermind behind such a new thing is still the idle King of Pingxi. Zhao Xing borrowed from the Olympic Games and the National Games in later generations, and planned to carry out this very meaningful event in advance of thousands of years and 800 years, and it is said that such a national event can also stimulate consumption and stimulate domestic demand.

Of course, Zhao Xing's idea is not so simple, the reason why he let ** prepare for the "National Games" at this time is that he still wants to cover up the military action of the Jin State and create the illusion that he is not ready to make a big move for the time being. Zhao Xing also knows that he used to fool people too ruthlessly, and now it is really difficult to successfully achieve the effect of strategic deception, but holding the National Games is a matter of killing two birds with one stone, even if there is no consideration of strategic deception, in order to promote national integration and the intersection of the north and the south, it is worth trying.

Taking into account the living customs and environmental conditions of the people in this era, Zhao Xing set up competitive events such as wrestling, racing, archery, swimming, and miscellaneous events for the first National Games. Among them, wrestling is subdivided into weightlifting, weight-bearing, wrestling, wrist wrenching, tug-of-war and other sub-events; sprinting, long-distance running, horseback riding and other sub-events under the major event of racing; under the major item of archery, it is subdivided into sub-events such as long bow, short crossbow, javelin, slingshot, darts; under the major item of swimming, it is subdivided into sub-events such as long-distance endurance swimming, short-distance speed swimming, as well as breath-holding and diving; under miscellaneous items, there are sub-events such as tree climbing, long jump, high jump, swinging and so on.

Seeing these items, many people were maliciously speculating whether Zhao Xing wanted to select a group of high-quality warriors for his army in this way, because many items could obviously be transformed into combat effectiveness, such as horseback riding, longbows, short crossbows, and javelins. In fact, Zhao Xing really has such a small idea, anyway, hugging the grass and beating the rabbit, killing two birds with one stone, why not do it?

In order to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the people from all over the world to participate in the event, Zhao Xing has invested enough money this time, not only to let people build a large number of stadiums that meet the standards in Jinyang City, but also to release the wind in advance, all individuals or groups who have won the top three results in the competition will receive a pure gold, pure silver and bronze medals issued by the organizing committee, and a number of bonuses can be taken in vain. It is said that the king of Pingxi took out a full 500,000 taels of silver as the prize money for this competition!

This historical precedent of the national sports meeting is tentatively scheduled to be held in Jinyang City, the capital of the Jin Kingdom, in late August this year when the autumn weather is crisp. The event will last for seven days, where athletes from the Han states and friendly subject countries will gather to compete for the rankings in various events.

After receiving this important news, the people in the prefectures and counties under Zhao Xing's control were enthusiastic and responded enthusiastically, and they began to sign up with the local government, intending to go to Jinyang to compete with the world's masters.

There are so many people from all over the country who have signed up, some are aiming for the free trip to Jinyang, some are for the high bonus, and some are for the king of Pingxi who can see the gods descend to earth at the opening ceremony......

Although it was the first time for local governments to take over this kind of activity, they had received specific guidance notices from higher-level governments in advance on how to organize local applicants to conduct preliminaries, so there was no commotion and chaos. The grassroots officials are also very curious about this National Games, and they may not have figured out other reasons, but if the county or the county wins the championship in such a large-scale event, it will also be the glory on their faces, so everyone also attaches great importance to the organization of the preliminaries.

On the other hand, the states outside Zhao Xing's influence reacted differently to this inexplicable event of his whole event.

No one in Yizhou Sima paid attention to this matter at all, and now that Yizhou is in the same situation as the Liang State and the Jin Kingdom, who thinks that his life is long, and he still runs to Zhao Xing's land to show off? Even if Zhao Xing is really warmly received, you have to think about the reaction of the Sima family here.

Liu Biao of Jingzhou issued a statement during the parade, saying that he strongly supported the event, and would sponsor the Jingzhou representatives who went to the Jin Kingdom to participate in the competition, and if they could get the ranking, there would be a reward after returning to Jingzhou.

Sun Jian of Wuzhou is still maintaining an ally with the Jin State, so he naturally supports this matter and makes a statement similar to Liu Biao. The affairs of Wuzhou and Jingzhou have little to do with the Jin State, and it does not affect Wuzhou to continue to send personnel to be active between the two places.

Yuan Shu of Nanyang ridiculed Jin Guo with great disdain, and this was just a fame and a gimmick. According to Yuan Shu, what qualifications did the Jin State have to hold such a grand event on behalf of the entire Han Dynasty?

Liu Bei and Cao Cao applauded Yuan Shu's statement in their hearts, but they didn't say it well. Although the Jin State was somewhat overstepping, it was not possible to restrict the people of Sili, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Yangzhou from going to the Jin State to participate in such apolitically charged mass activities. If the imperial court issued an order strictly prohibiting the people from going to the Jin Kingdom to participate in the competition, it would not only cause strong dissatisfaction among the people, but also make the people of the world feel that the imperial court was afraid of Zhao Xing.

Because of these concerns, in the end, Cao Cao and Liu Bei adopted an attitude of not suppressing or encouraging this matter, and treating it as a purely civil activity.

As for the various armies of the Jin State that were clearly allowed to participate in the competition, as well as some of the Fan countries that were friendly with the Jin State, they were quite excited and happy after learning about this.

The vast number of officers and men of the army were happy, because they had too many reasons and confidence to be able to win a good ranking in this competition, to win honor for their unit beautifully, and to take the opportunity to have a close contact with the king of Pingxi.

The people of Dongsheng Kingdom, Fuyu Kingdom, Yanqi Kingdom, Wusun Kingdom and other friendly countries are happy, because they finally have the opportunity to enter the Jin Kingdom, which everyone in the world yearns for, to experience and feel the style of the Han Dynasty, not to mention that some of these competitions are clearly where they can also get good rankings. For example, Dongshengguo is in the middle of the world, and the young and strong boys' swimming skills are unique, and they are even more flexible than fish; the young men of Fuyu and Wusun have been riding on horseback since they were young, and they are also quite confident in their riding skills.

Although the first "All-in-One Athletic Event" is still in preparation, it can be seen from the reactions from all over the world that this ingenious event will be a great success.
