Chapter Five Seventy-Four: Martial Arts Competition
Seeing Jia Rong calling her so affectionately, Zhao Yu also had a small heart and thumped her heart. She knew about Jia Rong, even the few people in the Liang Palace, but Jia Rong had never shown anything to Zhao Yu. Naturally, the ladies did not want to share Jia Rong with each other, and Jia Rong did not want to add a wife to the mansion. Although three wives and four concubines were common in this era, she was not a stallion and could not enter the room when she saw a beautiful one.
Jia Rong knew what Zhao Yu was thinking. He was not young anymore and did not want to delay Zhao Yu. He thought that in later generations, he was just a small security guard, insignificant. When he arrived at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he seemed to have lost his luck in love with beautiful women constantly throwing himself into his arms.
Turning his eyes to the field, Jia Rong smiled and said, "I want to congratulate your brother this time, and I will finally be able to bring the beauty back."
Zhao Yuyingying bowed and said, "Thank you, King Liang."
"I'm not talking to you just now. You don't need to be polite in the future. Don't imitate your brother. Just call me the eldest brother in the future." Jia Rong's eyes kept leaving the court.
After hearing this, Zhao Yu stopped watching the competition on the court. She was secretly happy. After dating several wives in Prince Liang's mansion, she naturally knew something that ordinary people didn't know. Like Xiu'er, Wei Fu, Cai Yan, they all called Jia Rong the eldest brother. Did Jia Rong hint to him? But seeing Jia Rong's expression was just an unintentional act, she gradually calmed down.
Hearing the onlookers coming out and shouting, Zhao Yu glared at Jia Rong in secret, knowing that he had missed a wonderful scene.
After all, Ma Yunlu is a woman. In terms of strength, she is not as strong as Zhao Yun, in terms of martial arts, she is not as good as Zhao Yun, and in terms of martial arts, Zhao Yun is deliberately showing mercy. Ma Yunlu is still a little dissatisfied after more than twenty rounds, her pretty face is flushed and she is panting.
Jia Rong nodded slightly. Ma Yunlu's martial arts skills are really good. Even if he is involved in the army, he is still a very powerful existence. It seems that he has always ignored the role of a woman.
Seeing that Zhao Yun's subordinates could not get any advantage, Ma Yunlu was anxious and anxious to show her feelings. Her eyebrows tightened and the sword in her hand slid towards Zhao Yun through the strange traces.
Zhao Yun is famous for his spear and sword in the army. He didn't see any moves in how this offensive could threaten him. He just raised the long sword in his hand to dissolve Ma Yunlu's offensive.
Unexpectedly, after a battle, Ma Yunlu had retreated to the edge of the ring. When she lost her strength, her body immediately became a little unstable. With a scream, her body was about to fall off the ring.
The onlookers were stunned by the changes on the field.
Zhao Yun quickly stepped forward, stretched out his hand and pulled Ma Yunlu's downward body back.
On the court, the two beautiful women snuggled in the man's arms, which looked very ambiguous and confusing. In ancient times, when women went out, they all had many concerns, not to mention that in such public places, there were people who praised them, and those who exclaimed, and of course there were people who scolded them.
This kind of behavior is to provoke the ancient feudal etiquette. Jia Rong didn't care so much, and he also admired Zhao Yun's courage to do this, although he was unintentional.
After a moment of stagnation, Zhao Yun realized something was wrong, but he couldn't throw away the beauty in his arms. After holding Ma Yunlu up, he walked off the ring with a red face.
This competition also made Jia Rong realize that the businessmen in Chang'an lacked spare time. A small arena competition made them so excited. What if there were so many exciting competitions in future generations.
There are rich people in Chang'an. When they are not short of money, they often think of how to enrich their amateur life. Although people in this era do not have that concept, Jia Rong decided to implement the first thing after becoming king, enriching the lives of the people, and holding some activities, such as running, martial arts competition, football, relay, etc., a series of activities that allow the people to participate in. Of course, in order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the people, rewards are essential, and they are very rich for ordinary people.
The powerful generals under his command finally won the beauty, and Jia Rong was also much more contented. In terms of talent, Zhao Yun was the leader among military generals. He was calm, had high martial arts skills, and was good at uniting his subordinates. With a little training, he was the talent of a general who guarded one side. He was more than twice as strong as Zhang Xiu. What was more important was that Zhao Yun was not only skilled in martial arts, but also had good literary talent. He was both civil and military in the army.
The New Year has passed, and Chang'an City is full of joy. After the meal, the people talked about the competition and marriage of the arena. The arena in the city has been demolished, and the people's passion remains undiminished.
The notice of the city gate attracted everyone's attention. Two martial arts competitions were held every year. Winners from all over the country went to Chang'an to compete. The finalists could receive generous rewards, with a bonus of 100,000 yuan, and it would be 10,000 yuan for bank notes.
One hundred thousand yuan is definitely a big sum for ordinary people. They are not like businessmen. Many people just pay their own labor and do their business under the businessmen and get money. One hundred thousand yuan is enough for them to save for many years.
These edicts have caused a national storm. In the face of money, all kinds of sweet words are false. Only by getting them is the most realistic. What the people do not lack the least. I can’t compete with all my strength. I can choose to run or run a relay race. If I accidentally win the championship, it will be a lot of money, and I can also show up in the entire Chang'an City. Why not do it?
Shortly after Jia Rong became king, something big happened in Jiangdong. When Sun Ce was traveling, he was attacked by unknown people and was shot in the face. The arrow was painted with poison. The famous doctors from all sides had no choice.
Before leaving, Sun Ce thought of his father in front of Hulao Pass, Jia Rong of the Xiliang Army. In Sun Ce's understanding, if Jia Rong had no guidance and promotion, there would be no Jiangdong today. Therefore, he has always been in awe of the Xiliang Army. Even if Jia Rong one day asked him to surrender to the Xiliang Army, he would agree without hesitation. Without realizing it, it would never be able to understand the strength of the Xiliang Army. The people surrendered and governed the barren land to prosperity. Sun Ce asked himself that he had done many things that were not as good as Jia Rong, and Jiangdong was rich, but Sun Ce's efforts still could not achieve the glory of Chang'an. I thought that Chang'an was burned out by a fire.
"Zhongmou, after I die, you must ask your ministers in everything, how to act, and never be reckless. Now there are many talents in Jiangdong. You are young and your elder brother is very worried." Sun Ce sighed.
Sun Quan held Sun Ce's hand and said, "Brother, you are fine, you will definitely get better. Aren't you killed so many rebels in Jiangdong? Get up."
Sun Ce sighed to the sky and said, "As the general said, life is not brought by life but not brought by death. If you can leave a name in history books, your brother is already very satisfied. After you take over Jiangdong, you must work hard to govern and never be enemies with King Liang. Do you understand?"
Sun Quan nodded confusedly. He never thought that one day the elder brother suddenly left and handed over the huge Jiangdong to him. Could it be that the efforts of his father and brother's efforts must be ruined in his hands? In terms of martial arts, he is not as good as the elder brother. There must be many generals in the army who are dissatisfied. In terms of talent, Sun Quan is only in his teens, how can he subdue his scheming generals?
"King Liang of Chang'an was my father's sworn brother. If there was no help from him, my father would not have been able to successfully obtain Jiangdong, and I would not have been able to be as stable as a mountain in Jiangdong." Sun Ce said.
After hearing this, Sun Quan was slightly shocked. This matter has always been kept secret in Jiangdong, and only the senior generals in the army knew about it. Moreover, Sun Quan was young, so naturally no one would mention this matter to him. Sun Jian and Jia Rong were sworn brothers, like a bolt from the blue hit Sun Quan's heart. Back then, the princes attacked Dong Zhuo, and Sun Jian was the vanguard of the princes. Could it be that the people of their fathers secretly colluded with the Western Liang army that the Western Liang army won the repeated battles.
"Brother, don't worry, I will listen to you." Sun Quan replied respectfully.
"In Jiangdong, if you don't decide on external affairs, you can ask Zhou Yu, and if you don't decide on internal affairs, you can ask Gu Yong. These two are talents who are in the world and should not be neglected." Sun Ce said in a difficult tone.
Three days later, Sun Ce died. Sun Quan inherited the position of King Wu, made a mourning ceremony, and buried Sun Ce with the courtesy of the princes. The three armies mourned. The little overlord who had been circulating in Jiangdong died like this, and died at the hands of several assassins.
The news of Sun Ce's death reached Jingzhou, which made Liu Biao really happy. In his opinion, Sun Quan was just a boy with unfinished hair. How could he fight against the elite Jingzhou navy? When the army arrived, Sun Quan would definitely escape with his tail between his legs.
Liu Biao did not miss such an opportunity and immediately summoned his generals to discuss the attack on Jiangdong.
The war in Jingzhou was launched, and to the expectation of the Jiangdong generals, the two sides seemed to have been in war, except for the cooperation in eradicating Zhou Tai Shui Village.
In danger, Sun Quan obeyed Sun Ce's instructions before leaving, ordered Zhou Yu to be the commander and lead 20,000 naval troops to fight. Zhou Yu did not let down his entrustedness and defeated the Jingzhou naval army in one battle, losing thousands of soldiers, and fled back to Jingzhou in a panic.
Zhou Yu became famous in one battle, and after Sun Quan had Zhou Yu's support, his position in Jiangdong became slightly more stable.
After learning about Sun Ce's death, Jia Rong sighed: "History is sometimes difficult to change." Jia Rong believed that Sun Ce's death was a big loss. He had previously captured Sun Ce to Chang'an City. Some education was actually profound. One reason was that Sun Ce could contain some of the enemies of the Xiliang Army in Jiangdong. The other was that he had brotherly ties with Sun Jian and occupied the righteous side. Even if Japanese troops were on the east side of Jiangdong, there were many reasons to persuade Sun Ce to be convinced.
The sun will not rise again because of a person's death. When Sun Ce dies, at best, he leaves only a few words in the history books. This is true in life. For the words in the history books, many people are constantly working hard. The decline of a prince will surely be accompanied by the rise of another prince.
