Zhang Xiu is known as the "King of Spears in the North", firstly because he is indeed a disciple of the spear king Tong Yuan, and secondly, his marksmanship is indeed the best in the entire Beidi County. Even among the Liangzhou army, only a handful of people can defeat him. It can be counted, but because his qualifications are too junior, he has never been promoted.

In this competition, Hua Xiong had already been defeated, and the second generals Li Jue and Guo Si, who were second only to Hua Xiong, were naturally unable to fight again, so Zhang Xiu became the first choice to participate in the battle.

Tong Yuan's "Hundred Birds Chaosing Phoenix Spear" is famous for its speed. Zhao Yun relied on his "speed" to create the "Seven Exploration Coiled Snake Spear", a defensive marksmanship that even Lu Bu couldn't do anything about. Although this embroidery is not as good as Zhao Yun's , but he also inherited 70% of Tong Yuan's skill. The gun attack spread out like a storm. Anyone who faced such a quick and smart attack for the first time would inevitably have to scramble for a while, and even if he made one mistake, he would be in trouble. The ending under the gun.

Faced with such powerful marksmanship, Xu Kang couldn't think of anything he could do in a short period of time, so he had to use the Frost Snow Knife to use Gong Yinglian's "Silver Snake Coiled Spear" to guard the area three feet in front of him.

Now his vision was filled with the shadows of spears all over the sky, and his ears were filled with the chirping of spears cutting through the air, like hundreds of birds chirping around him.

Xu Kang only felt like he was in a violent world covered by guns, and could not feel the slightest breath of the outside world at all.

All of this can be regarded as a special effect of the "Century Phoenix Spear". By isolating the opponent's perception ability, and then gradually applying pressure, forcing the opponent's heart to be full of anxiety, creating a flaw, and then defeating the opponent.

Of course, everything has two sides, and this method also consumes a lot of one's physical strength. If you cannot defeat the opponent in a short time, you will have flaws due to exhaustion of physical strength.

So Zhang Xiu rarely uses this trick.

Today, I had to do it because of Zhang Ji's respectful entrustment.

However, who is Xu Kang? As a price for being often abused by Zhao Yun, he can be said to have adapted to this fast style of play better than anyone else. Although he still cannot stop Zhao Yun's fast break, Zhang Xiu after all Not Zhao Yun.

Gradually, Xu Kang's defense became tighter and tighter, and finally found an opening when Zhang Xiu was exhausted. The "Silver Snake Coiling Gun" turned into the "Qinglong Yanyue Sword" in the blink of an eye, and he cut off Zhang Xiu's horse with just two swords.

There was silence in the scene, and they didn't expect that Zhang Xiu, who had the upper hand just now, would be defeated so easily, almost everyone choked on the spot. If it weren't for Zhang Xiu being Zhang Ji's nephew, I'm afraid everyone would have I wonder if he lost on purpose.

The outcome of the competition was both reasonable and unexpected.

At noon, in view of the successful conclusion of the matter, Xu Kang decided to celebrate with everyone. Originally, for fear of irritating Zhang Ji, the celebration was limited to a few close friends, but soon the development of the matter was beyond Xu Kang's control. scope.

If it is still excusable that Xu Jing and Cai Yong came to congratulate, then the arrival of Wang Yun, the Minister of Secretariat, was completely unexpected. And since Wang Yun is here, some civil servants headed by Wang Yun will naturally We also need to cater to the Lord’s wishes and add icing on the cake.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Bu arrived with Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and other major generals of the Bingzhou Army.

Even important generals such as Hua Xiong, Xu Rong, and Fan Chou from the Liangzhou Army came.

In the end, even Prime Minister Dong Zhuo sent people to send generous gifts.

Suddenly, a group of the most powerful ministers in the world gathered in Xu Kang's humble courtyard, making the already small courtyard seem even more crowded.

There are a total of seventeen small courtyards in Xu Kang's mansion. Sixteen of them have been requisitioned for entertaining guests. Only the last one is closed because it is the residence of the female family members. It is relatively quiet.

Xu Kang and Xu Jing took advantage of the opportunity to escape and secretly met here.

Xu Kang said anxiously, "What's going on? Why are everyone here as if they've made an appointment?"

Xu Jing said: "It's not surprising. After seeing what you, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei are capable of, they are all very happy and want to win over you. I just met Wang Shangshu, and even a man who is famous for his uprightness actually I am full of praise for you."

"Wang Yun? He doesn't seem to like me very much before."

"That's because you once handed over Young Emperor and Emperor Xian to Dong Zhuo, and he thought you were Dong Zhuo's man. But after today's competition, everyone has understood that although you are nominally against Zhang Ji, in fact you are fighting against Lu Bu and Zhang Ji. After Hua Xiong appeared, any fool could understand that Dong Zhuo is your real opponent behind the scenes. But what no one expected was that you actually defeated Dong Zhuo. Why do you think they let go of this opportunity to win over you?"

Xu Kang nodded and said, "I understand, but uncle, what do you think I should do next?"

Xu Jing smiled and said: "Don't ask me, I don't know either. You are the one who caused these things. You can solve them yourself."

Xu Kang pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Uncle, you can't be so heartless."

"Okay, since you are still in the mood to joke, it proves that you have thought of a solution in advance? I am very optimistic about you, don't worry, no matter what you decide to do? I will support you."

After the two met, they immediately returned to their respective wine bars. Xu Kang immediately put on a spring-breathing smile, and there was no trace of impatience. Even Xu Kang felt that his acting skills were getting better and better now. Awesome.

In the spring grass pavilion, the small lake is rippling and the pavilion is green.

Several tables were gathered together, and sitting on them was a group of Bingzhou Army soldiers headed by Lu Bu, accompanied by Zhao Yun.

Lu Bu loudly praised Zhao Yun's abilities and expressed his unabashed hope that he could serve in the Bingzhou Army.

Zhao Yun, on the other hand, has always refused modestly.

At this time, Xu Kang happened to come over with a wine glass. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "General Lu, this is too much. Brother Zilong is a brother I have made great efforts to make friends with. You actually want to poach him so blatantly."

Lu Bu didn't look ashamed at all, and sighed: "It's a pity that he refused. Mr. Xu is really lucky to have such a good general."

Xu Kang said with a smile: "General Lu, I'm so grateful. The greatest blessing for a lower official is to be able to meet a hero like General Lu. If I have the opportunity to serve under the general in the future, it will be my lifelong wish."

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, then said with great joy: "Sir Xu is really willing to come to me and join the state army. But my adoptive father sent me such a generous gift, which clearly means that I will put you in a more important position. If you come to join me and join the state army, it will be a sign of humiliation."

Xu Kang sighed: "What happened today, I have already hated the generals of the Liangzhou Army. How can I still have the courage to go to their army? I am just worried that if General Lu accepts Xiaguan, it may cause the dissatisfaction of the Liangzhou Army."

Lu Bu snorted coldly and said: "So what if you are dissatisfied. Although his Liangzhou army is brave, the soldiers of my Bingzhou army are not made of clay. None of them were fought in the flames of war. I am still afraid that they will not succeed."

Xu Kang was immediately "surprised" and bowed down and said: "If you don't give up, I, Xu Kang, would like to lead my men to follow the general from now on, so that I can make great achievements in the future and be granted the title of marquis and general."
