Chapter 162 Competition
On that day, Li Jiuzhou was sitting in the tent, shaking his legs, holding a brush in his mouth, looking at the blank paper, thinking about the next deployment.
His tent is a bit special, unlike other tents. There is an old tree with lush branches and leaves in front of the tent.
The wind was strong on the plateau, and the shade blew swayed, accompanied by the noise outside the tent.
Li Jiuzhou looked down at the empty paper, took the brush from his mouth and threw it on the table, got up and came out of the tent and asked, "Why is it so noisy?"
Sun Shouyi stopped a few angry generals and said awkwardly: "Some soldiers are dissatisfied with the training."
A leader had already pushed Sun Shouyi's hand away and asked loudly: "Jingdust, you let the soldiers practice these useless things all day long. Could it be a fun thing for everyone?"
Another thorn, who dared to talk to him like this. Li Jiuzhou initially felt that the soldiers were hard to train every day, but now he had no sympathy for them at all.
Li Jiuzhou glanced at the quarrels of constant noise, looked at the training ground not far away with a clear look, and the soldiers looked reluctant one by one.
"Do you think you are invincible in the world?" Li Jiuzhou asked.
"The reputation of Shuofang Army's bravery was not obtained by these things." The general didn't say it clearly, but had a arrogant expression on his face.
"Do you think these are useless?" Since things have reached this point, Li Jiuzhou simply said, "Let's compare and see who is better."
There is no reason for the Jieduan to compete with a young general. Although this proposal seems inappropriate to most people, people are curious and want to see what the Jieduan has.
"If the governor wants to compare, he should be with him."
Li Jiuzhou asked, "What do you think?"
"The military governor can compare how he wants." The general was quite smooth.
Li Jiuzhou sneered, "That's what you are best at, swordsmanship, martial arts."
With his thin physique, no one believed that his martial arts skills would be better than this burly general. He couldn't believe it. He thought in his heart that this governor was really young and frivolous.
"Okay!" The general pulled out his sword.
Li Jiuzhou pulled out the sword of the soldiers on the side, and Sun Shouyi hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "If the body of the governor is accidentally injured, it would be inappropriate."
The general smiled and said, "Don't worry, Adjutant Sun, I will not hurt the governor."
Seeing him laughing at him, Li Jiuzhou pushed Sun Shouyi away, "It's okay, whoever loses or wins or wins."
In the eyes of outsiders, Li Jiuzhou clearly had no chance of winning, only Old Man Zhang looked at him coldly. He knew that Li Jiuzhou practiced martial arts diligently every day and dared not say he was a martial arts master. He was more than enough to deal with such a clumsy general who could only use brute force.
"If I lose, you won't have to train as I do in the future." Li Jiuzhou said betting.
The general was also straightforward and said, "Okay, if I lose, everything will be followed by the arrangements of the governor."
The two of them set up a formation, and the people around them gave up a piece of open space.
The soldiers who were still training also stopped and surrounded each other. Some of them could not be seen, so they watched from a high place in the distance, resting calmly and watching, all wanting to see how the Jiedushi made a fool of himself today.
To win people's hearts, you also need to be strong in your own strength. Li Jiuzhou had previously survived from the battlefield. He was confident that he had this strength and knew that this competition must be won.
As a decent military governor and the supreme commander of Shuofang, facing the provocation of his small generals, he was not angry, but was full of fighting spirit. The martial arts he practiced every day were not in vain.
Generally, those who learn swords must first learn swordsmanship. Li Jiuzhou picked up the most despicable sword technique in the past and swung it out with one knife.
The general had already itchy hands. Seeing that the Jiedushi was waving the sword, he did not dare to underestimate him. He tried his best to defeat him.
After a fight, although both of them were worried about being afraid of hurting each other accidentally, they were still using their real skills.
As a result, after the general persisted for less than half an hour, the knife in his hand was seized by Li Jiuzhou on the spot.
During the whole process, Li Jiuzhou was not panicked and made his sword skill easy. To be precise, he was already very skilled, enough to shock these soldiers who danced swords and guns every day.
A group of people stared at Li Jiuzhou and walked over and inserted the knife into the scabbard of the soldiers beside him, helping him correct his standing posture.
"Good sword technique." Even though the general was defeated, he couldn't help but admire him.
This made those who originally wanted to see Li Jiuzhou make a fool of themselves very depressed, and at the same time became curious. Li Jiuzhou showed not only sword skills, but also will, and a competitive will.
A person's confidence and competitive spirit are sometimes uncoverable and are inadvertently revealed to his appearance.
Could it be that the Jiedushi had been carefully trained by experts before, or had he learned the sword technique in the army to defend himself?
A group of people were extremely disdainful of his training methods, so they deliberately went on strike and made things difficult. Now they became convinced.
"If you only know how to play some fancy moves that seem to be full of fancy tricks, once you face a strong enemy, you will have no way to die." Li Jiuzhou said loudly.
He said something a little ridiculed that the general's sword technique was a flower-hand style. If the general lost, he did not refute and lowered his head.
"My sword technique has not been the best. If I had the strong physique as strong as you, it would only be even more powerful." Li Jiuzhou was humble again and blamed his sword technique for not being able to excel at all.
The soldiers were amazed that his sword skills were hard to find an opponent in the army. He heard that if he had a better physique, he could be even more powerful, so he believed it a little.
"So, I ask you to strengthen your physical training first. Only with a good physique can you better use your martial arts. When your physical training is qualified, the next time is to practice swords, guns and sticks."
After saying that, he turned to look at the general, "What do you think?"
The general had already blushed and said unhappy: "What the governor said makes sense."
He is the representative of these people who are dissatisfied with training. The birds who stand out were suppressed, and the rest of them dare not say anything else.
They now believe how important it is to have a good physique to those who fight.
Li Jiuzhou whispered in a deep voice: "I will no longer care about today's affairs, so you should hurry up and train. If there are lazy training, the military law will be dealt with."
He turned to Sun Shouyi again: "Sun Shouyi, three months later, he failed the training, so I'm the only one who asks."
Sun Shouyi replied sternly: "Military orders are like mountains, and low-ranking duties must be trained strictly!"
No one dared to neglect the next time. On the training ground, everyone gritted their teeth and fought desperately, and the shouts of orders were like mountains and seas all day long.
