Chapter 187: The Military Contest
Thanks to heihudie1zhi for the tip and review vote, thank you very much
------
It can be said that Tian Fan and Zhao Yun met happily! Zhao Yun was his admirer, and he knew Xu Shu's abilities. Shi Tao was his senior brother, and Liu Bei paid special attention to Tian Yu. Naturally, Tian Fan paid great attention to them all!
And these four people were also full of curiosity about Tian Fan. Naturally, these five people met each other happily!
However, the positions of these four people are really difficult to deal with! Now, the Xuzhou Group can be said to be a carrot and a pit, with no positions left at all! There is no way, Liu Bei had no choice but to ask Zhao Yun to help Lu Bu train his troops based on their expertise.
, Tian Yu went to Guangling to help Chen Dao lead the army, Xu Shu joined the army, and Shi Tao stayed in Xiapi and started working!
On August 20th, the military competition officially begins!
As early as a few days ago, middle and low-level officers with high martial arts skills and even ordinary soldiers selected from various places in Xuzhou had arrived at Xiapi Camp!
For a time, the camp in Xiapi was full of masters!
Tian Fan's original intention of organizing this martial arts competition was to discover buried talents, and the chief generals of each army also fully understood what he meant and cooperated completely unconditionally. All the mid-level and low-level officers who can be described as masters among the generals were sent over.
.
On this day, the entire camp was buzzing with excitement, and the huge school grounds were filled with people!
On the general stage that is one foot high, six feet long and three feet wide, Tian Fan, Lu Bu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Gao Shun and other generals are sitting there, discussing something in a low voice!
Tian Fan just wanted to find a few talents, but since the competition lists of each army were reported, his heart couldn't calm down for a long time! What the hell is going on? Why has the recruitment hall become a decoration? Why are there so many masters?
, actually came into his eyes before this competition?
Shaking his head, he thought, it seems that in the future, even if he doesn't have time to go and take a look at the recruitment hall, he will have to ask them to give him a copy of the list! In addition, the military competition must be held every year!
Zhang Fei, Lu Bu, and Gao Shun have known each other for a long time, and Zhao Yun won the respect of everyone just by fighting Lu Bu in a one-on-one duel! There is no way, Zhao Yun can fight Lu Bu against Baihe without losing. What is this?
level?
Lu Bu is proud, but it depends on who is right! Zhao Yun's martial arts is very good. If it weren't for the horse's incompetence, I'm afraid he wouldn't be defeated even if he fought with him for 200 rounds! And his understanding of cavalry combat is not much different from his own.
, such a person quickly won Lu Bu's favor!
Tian Fan put away his thoughts and asked: "Wait a minute, which of you will end up?"
Lu Bu and Zhang Fei said, "Of course it's me!"
Tian Fan rolled his eyes and said: "You two are too powerful. What would happen if one of you accidentally hurts our future generals?"
Zhang Fei said quickly: "I wish I could be more careful!"
Hearing this, he nodded and said: "Okay! In a moment, Yide and Fengxian will be responsible for the examination of martial arts, while Zilong and Zhengqing will be responsible for the examination of the art of war! How about it?"
Hearing this, the four people nodded in agreement!
A junior colonel ran to the stage, clasped his fists at several people and said, "Sir, generals, the time has come, it's time to start!"
Tian Fan nodded and said: "In that case, beat the drum!"
After the principal clasped his fists and saluted, he took two steps back, turned around, and shouted: "Your Majesty has an order, beat the drum!"
Dozens of drummers who had been prepared on the side shouted: "It's your order!", and then the drums sounded! The drums sounded from slow to fast, and then from fast to slow. It happened to be a three-way drum, one hundred.
Zero eight rings!
The entire school grounds fell into silence!
Tian Fan held up a trumpet made of bronze and came to the general stage. He first clasped his fists and saluted everyone in the audience, then put the thin section of the trumpet to his mouth and shouted: "You warriors in the army, I,
It’s Tian Fan, the examiner of this military competition!”….
The soldiers below all knew Tian Fan, but many of them had never seen him. Now that they heard that he was standing in front of them, they immediately gave him warm applause!
Tian Fan waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and continued: "The four people behind me are our martial arts examiners and military art examiners today!"
After saying that, he looked around at everyone and said: "Everyone must know the martial arts of General Fengxian and General Yide! They can be said to be the most brave generals in the world! However, I don't want you to be afraid of them to the point of shrinking back.
, I can’t even show my true martial arts skills! I often hear people say that there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts! Even if you know that you are defeated, you must try your best! I, the Xuzhou Army, don’t be a coward without courage! If so
If you don't even have the guts to take action when you see them, then I have reason to suspect that you will do the same on the battlefield! Do you understand?"
The hundreds of contestants in the field were all brave men from various armies. They were already arrogant. How could they withstand Tian Fan's words? Hearing this, they all blushed and shouted: "
clear!"
Tian Fan nodded and continued: "Many people must not know the rules of this competition. Here, I will say it again! The first is the martial arts competition. The participants will be randomly selected and matched. The winner will enter the next round and be drawn again.
The opponent competes, and so on, until three rounds have passed!"
"After three rounds, there are only less than fifty people left. The losers in the previous rounds will be paired up for a test again, and the top ones will be combined with the winners of the first three rounds to form a total of sixty people. These sixty people, again
Randomly matched, the winner can compete with Yide and Fengxian. As long as he can withstand their ten moves, he can be awarded an official position! The thirty losers will directly participate in the art of war examination hosted by Zilong and Zhengqing! Follow
Everyone who competes with Fengxian and Yide will also take part in the art of war exam!"
"We will announce the final ranking based on your scores in the martial arts and art of war exams!"
He turned to look at a white wooden board with a gold edge placed vertically beside him, which was one foot long and one foot wide. He shouted: "This is the gold list! All the top thirty people can enter the list, and their ranking will be announced.
The whole army!"
After a pause, he shouted again: "Moreover, this list will be kept forever. Many years from now, it will be a souvenir of our Xuzhou! Those who leave their names on it will also leave their names in history!"
After hearing this, the hundreds of participating warriors suddenly became excited, and someone shouted: "My lord, I am victorious!"
The whole audience shouted in response, and for a moment, the shouts of "Lord Wan Sheng" shook the whole world!
Tian Fan waved his hand again, signaling for everyone to be quiet, and said: "There are four great joys in life: the rain comes after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the night of flowers and candles in the wedding room, and the time when the gold medal is named! Today, the winner will be able to enjoy one of these four joys.
Happy event! I hope everyone will treat it with caution! OK, I announce that the game has begun!"
Although these four great joys in life were spoken by Tian Fan for the first time, they quickly won everyone's approval! These warriors were so excited that one or two of them flushed with red eyes and yelled: "Yes, sir!"
People in the army have always only obeyed the strong. If you only have great military skills but no martial arts, even if you can suddenly ascend to a high position, you still won't be able to convince others! Therefore, Tian Fan did not give a chance to those without martial arts.
!If you don’t enter the top sixty, no matter how powerful your military skills are, you still can’t convince the crowd, and it’s all in vain!
This is not the way for such people to get ahead! They should first be counselors and serve as staff officers with the general. If they are really capable enough to lead an army alone, and all the generals in the army obey them, they can be awarded the title of superior.
The title of general! Of course there are exceptions. If a person has a very high family background, especially if he is a general, that is another matter! However, if he has such a high family background, he will not be buried here!…
Just looking at the Three Kingdoms era, wise generals like Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu also had good kung fu! Both of them were eight feet tall and practiced swordsmanship. Three or five people could not get close to them! Lu Su was even more powerful.
, he is also eight feet tall, and his arrow skills are very sharp. Not to mention that he can pierce a tree at a hundred steps, but he can hit a head within fifty steps without any problem!
This competition places equal emphasis on personal martial arts and military skills. If the person is strong in martial arts and skilled in military skills, he will be awarded a higher position. If he is only strong in martial arts, he will only be awarded some lower positions. Of course, although the position is low
, but the army they will serve in the future may be somewhat special.
The martial arts competition is divided into foot fighting and horse fighting! The first is foot fighting. The process of foot fighting is very fast, because it is just a simple fight between two people. The two sides fight together from the moment they fight, maybe ten moves, maybe twenty moves,
The outcome is determined!
In less than an hour, the foot battle was over. From beginning to end, the rankings were determined according to the rule that the winner gets two points and the loser gets no points.
Immediately afterwards, there was a horse battle, which was more time-consuming and laborious. Even after the day was over, it was still not completely over.
After another morning of competition the next day, all the horse battles were finally over, and the rankings were determined according to the same rules as the foot battles.
The top twenty winners of infantry battles and cavalry battles will directly take part in the test of military strategy. The rest will be rearranged again according to the number obtained by adding the rankings of infantry battles and cavalry battles. Whichever is higher
Twenty people, together with the forty people in front, make sixty.
Then, the fifteen people who are the strongest in horse combat and the fifteen who are the strongest in foot combat will challenge Zhang Fei and Lu Bu respectively. If there are overlapping people, one person will be added, starting with the person ranked lower.
Instead. For example, Xu Sheng from Langya, who is twenty-one years old, ranks first in foot fighting and sixth in horse fighting. He will only participate in the competition on foot fighting, and the person who ranks sixteenth in horse fighting will move up one place.
, ranked fifteenth and participated in the contest with Zhang Fei.
At noon, Tian Fan asked a small school to deliver a message to Liu Bei. His original words were: "Go and tell the lord, just say, hey, if he doesn't come today, he will definitely regret it! In addition, let the lord find some good horses.
Come on, if not, you can’t see the true level of these people!”
After hearing this, the principal rolled his eyes, Mr. Tian is too awesome? Do you talk like this to your lord?
It's not that Liu Bei doesn't want to come, but he just can't get away! It's the peak season of summer tax payment, and he is so busy every day that he can't spare time! But he knows that Tian Fan never lies, and after listening to Xiao Xiao
If he said that, he looked at the people around him dumbfounded and said: "Okay, Bo Guang has already said it, let's go and have a look! Haha, it can be considered relaxing!"
When Chen Qun, Xu Shu, Lu Su and others heard this, they laughed, clasped their fists and said, "Yes!"
Chapter completed!
