Chapter 140: The Tournament
The ancients took the oath very seriously, and Ling Tong swore in front of so many people, which suddenly surprised everyone.
Liu Xun was even more convinced of this, after all, Ling Tong's character was still reliable. But since the generals are not very assured, then send them out to be a ten-person leader first, and then they should experience it, and they will be recalled in the future.
Seeing that the lord was no longer entangled in the matter of Ling Tong being a personal guard, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and before Ling Tong could speak, Lin Jian took the first step and said: "Taishou, Ling Tong wants the lord to let his father live, I don't know how the lord wants to deal with it." β
Liu Xun said: "Haha, Ben Taishou naturally speaks and counts, as Ling Tong said that it is difficult to chase after a horse, he has such a temperament as a child, I can be worse than him." Summoned the order, take Ling Tong to Lujiang County to see his father, as long as Ling Cao wants to leave, he can't stop him. β
Ling Tong immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed down gratefully and said, "Thank you, lord, from now on, my life will be my lord's, and the kid will definitely do what he says." β
Liu Xun was greatly relieved, and said gently, "Go ahead, for the time being, appoint you as the head of the ten people under General Lin, and I hope you will live up to me in this life." β
"That's all for today, I'm a little tired." Liu Xun snorted and said. He then waved everyone away, and gave Ling Tong a face token when he parted, so that he could come to him at any timeγγγγγγ
"Congratulations, Ling Tong's boy was deeply loved by the lord when he first saw him, and we will have to be more close in the future" Seeing the lord walking away, Lin Jian walked to Ling Tong's side with a smile and said with a smile.
Ling Tong replied with a smile: "In the future, I will ask General Lin to appease one or two more." β
Lin Jian put his arm around Ling Tong and said, "Boy, let's go, go back to my house, I will hold a banquet to celebrate you." Lin Jian's action undoubtedly added to the relationship between the two of them.
Ling Tong looked embarrassed and said, "Thank you, General, when I have settled down my father, can I visit your mansion in person, and thank General Lin for his kind words for today's matter." β
Lin Jian was stunned for a moment, and then smiled very understandingly: "You're welcome, since you miss your father so much, then I won't keep you today." He will definitely come to the house to sit down one day. β
Ling Tong bowed and said, "Thank you, General." β

Will be too guarded
After returning to the study, Liu Xun couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed by his performance just now. Now that he is the lord of Jiangdong, how can he mess up because of the appearance of a Ling Tong?
In the final analysis, historical celebrities are almost obsessed with Liu Xun.
From a normal point of view, they think that Ling Tong is unreliable, which is actually a normal performance. After all, they had only come into contact for the first time.
But Liu Xun was hanged, and it was naturally clear what kind of person Ling Tong was. Since this doesn't work, Liu Xun can only change his way.
Since Ling Tong's martial arts are outstanding, then hold a martial arts competition, and he has experience in this, after all, his previous selection was produced through this.
Before adding it, it had been announced that it was going to compete to recruit guards, and now it can just be put together, which is logical.
In the past, I was afraid that no one would participate, but now the strength of the six counties in the middle of the army has skyrocketed, and when the news comes out, there will definitely be more martial arts generals to participate in this martial arts competition.
At that time, whoever wins the title will be directly given the position of a thousand-commander, so simple that he can reach the sky in one step, which of those martial artists who have no way out will not be moved by this?
At this moment, Ling Tong didn't know that it was because of him that a big competition in Jiangdong was about to kick off.
Koto Martial Arts Commander Selection Contest
On a piece of white rice paper, Liu Xun was ambitious and wrote down these eight big characters with a pen.
With a decision, someone has to do the work. Soon, a group of civil and military officers were called over by him.
Liu Xun, who sat on the top of the table, saw that everyone had arrived, and immediately said loudly: "After many big battles, in recent days, Ben Taishou deeply feels that his talents are too withered, so Ben Taishou plans to have the first martial arts competition in Jiangdong, and the top ten people will be directly appointed to positions in the army according to the situation and ability." The first place is directly appointed as a commander regardless of character and ability. As for the top ten, there are also heavy responsibilities. Ben Taishou wants to use this to recruit the world's heroes for my use, what do you think? β
"This" For a while, everyone couldn't help but be silent, wondering how the lord could have such a whim.
Lin Jian and Wang Hao glanced at each other, and vaguely guessed something in their hearts, but they didn't stand up for the first time.
After waiting for a while, seeing that the hundred officials below were just whispering, Liu Xun became a little impatient: "How about it, do you have any good opinions?" β
At this time, a man stood up and said, "The lord has great wisdom in order to recruit talents from all over the world, and he is so unconfined to small sections. The lord's method can indeed attract the world's heroes to gather and meet, but if such a large-scale competition is held, it may consume a lot of money and food. As soon as he finished speaking, several people chimed in.
Liu Xun knew that the person who spoke was the deputy master Pu Liu Yu, and now he was in charge of money, and he spent a lot of money training elite troops, and he did everything he could to obstruct it at the beginning, complaining to himself every day that the treasury was empty, if he hadn't sent Chen Sen and his party out to rob and took a lot of money, I am afraid that the troops would not have been able to train at all.
But he can't be blamed for coming out to obstruct it, it's just that the angle and position are different. After all, he is a mediocre person, naturally he is not as powerful as Xiao He, he can open source everywhere out of nothing, and all Liu Yu can do is reduce expenses.
Liu Xun ignored his objections. Instead, he turned his head and asked, "Do you have any other opinions?" β
One person stepped out, without mentioning his face, and the tenacious aura on his body made people dare not despise it: "Back to the lord, the last general thinks that the lord's move is a wise move, and this move is beneficial to the country and the people." The last general suggested that the tournament should be held. However, it is also necessary to arrange the location of the competition, and it is not possible to rush all the people to meet the competition, and then reimburse them all, which naturally increases a lot of costs. β
"Oh"
Liu Xun glanced at the person who spoke, it was Chen Peng, the commander of the thousand.
Liu Xun was naturally embarrassed to say that it was a martial arts competition that he thought of on a whim, so he didn't think about it so deeply.
Now I heard Chen Peng say that his move was a wise move, and he also raised the problem of the military general selection competition. This can't help but make Liu Xun a little impressed.
"Okay, this is the real warrior, let's get out of the rest." The old village chief took his hand away from the hilt of the wooden sword, patted the strong young man's right shoulder, and praised.
A bright light flashed in the eyes of the young man with his head down, and then it was well concealed, and he returned to calm.
"In this case, I want you to go to Huiji City to compete for the title of No. 1 in Jiangdong, so that our village can produce a general, so as to glorify our ancestors." The old village chief smiled, and his eyes were full of longing for the future of the village.
"I'm going to do my best to get first." The strong boy has a firm eye, and one day I will get ahead.
"The Jiangdong Martial Generals Selection Contest will be held in Huiji, and anyone under the age of 40 can participate. The top 10 were personally appointed by Liu Xun Taishou, the current lord of Jiangdong, and the top 50 could also serve in the army according to their strength. All contestants can serve in the Jiangdong Army as long as they pass the most basic assessment. At the gates of various cities in Jiangdong, the notices of the first martial arts competition in Jiangdong were placed in the most conspicuous position.
"Haha, I didn't expect us bookmakers to have a chance to get ahead." After listening to the people who read the notice, a strong man in the crowd laughed.
"Zhang Daniu, you still want to come out like this, and you don't pee and take pictures." At this time, someone sneered.
"Li San, what do I look like, you explain it to me clearly today. Otherwise, don't blame my men for being ruthless. This man, who was called Zhang Da Niu, pushed away the crowd, and Zhi Yong lifted the person who ridiculed him in his hand with one hand and said angrily.
"Don't, don't, I was wrong, Brother Niu, you better put me down first." Li San was held in the air by Zhang Daniu with one hand at this time, and couldn't help but be scared to death, looking at the fierce Zhang Daniu, suddenly like a frosted eggplant, and whispered softly.
"Hmph, look at your cowardice, if Lao Tzu didn't have an old mother at home to take care of him, he would have to kill your pickled goods. Get out of here, or I'll see you again and hit you again. Zhang Daniu let out a cruel word, and threw it away, and Li San fell to the ground with a plop, very embarrassed. Seeing that Li San was so funny, the laughter in the crowd continued to γγγγγγ for a while.
In the mountains
The leader of the horse bandits, who had just grabbed a vote, was looking at the latest news brought by his subordinates at this moment: "Maybe you can try it, maybe you can really find a good way out, this grass can't do it for a lifetime after all." The leader who made up his mind threw the bamboo slip casually, and what was written on it was the content of the Jiangdong Martial Arts Selection Competition.
A hunter in the mountains had just carried a prey ready to sell, and on the way to it, he saw an announcement posted at the head of the city, "Jiangdong Martial Arts Commander Selection Competition, what is it" Orion hurriedly glanced at it, and then took a closer look, and carried the prey like this, because he didn't have much literacy, he didn't understand it intermittently. At this time, I secretly heard the words of the person next to me, and finally understood what was written on the wall, so I had already understood that I had been standing with my prey on my shoulders for nearly an hour. Hearing that the first place can reach the sky in one step, Orion made up his mind that he would try his luck in this contest no matter whatγγγγγγ
Liu Biao's mansion in Jingzhou
"Alien, now Cao Cao and I don't deal with it much, Yuan Shao is also angry that I haven't sent troops to help them yet, how do I think I can't deal with me everywhere." Liu Biao's brows were furrowed.
"Lord, I'm afraid it's just their beating of the lord." Yue Yue laughed.
"Oh, what do you mean by that, Xenodegree, you can give me a good analysis." Liu Biao waved his hand and motioned for Yue Yue to continue
"Lord, in fact, they all love and hate you, and now no one dares to offend you, for fear that you will completely stand on each other."
Liu Biao stared at Xuan Yue suspiciously: "How do you say this?"
