In the big tent, Chen Qing offered tea instead of wine and invited Cao De to dinner.
Cao De was in a low mood. He sighed lowly, "The officials still avoid the important and take the easy. They only fight the imps, but the people behind the scenes do not deal with it. It makes people unconvinced."
Chen Qing smiled slightly and said: "This matter is a trivial matter to begin with. It is already good to deal with Wang Bo. It is impossible to punish the prime minister and the governor for this kind of thing."
"Then we should at least be reinstated!"
This is what makes Cao De very upset. Wang Bo's army was disqualified, but his army was not able to regain its qualifications, which made Cao De feel resentful.
Chen Qing can understand his mood, but if Cao Dejun is allowed to enter the finals, what will happen to the team that lost to Wang Bo's army before? It will cause a series of chain reactions and even affect the entire competition.
"It's up to the officials to think about it! Brother Cao still has the opportunity to compete in the individual competition. Don't let this matter affect your condition. It will be more than worth the loss when the time comes."
Cao De sighed, "You are right, the matter is over, I should strive for personal honor, there is no need to gamble like this anymore."
Chen Qing raised the tea cup and said with a smile: "Then I wish Brother Cao good results in the individual competition!"
...........
After Cao De left, Chen Qing stood alone in front of the tent and stared at the bright moon in the sky.
In this operation to overthrow Wang Bo, although Chen Qing also gave a little help, his shadow was basically invisible.
However, Chen Qing had an intuition that there seemed to be something hidden here. There was clearly a better way, but Qin Hui didn't use it, and in the end he used a method that could easily be caught. Why is this?
Things shouldn't be that simple. It was this intuition that made Chen Qing be extra careful.
Chen Qing shook his head and shook off the incident. The only impact this incident had on him was that Wang Bo was expelled from the martial arts school, which could be regarded as making him angry. Other power struggles had nothing to do with him.
Compared with this case, Chen Qing now values the newcomers and new generals competition more. He has understood that this is an Olympic trial held by the emperor for himself. This martial arts competition will affect the next ten or even twenty years.
Army layout.
This is a major opportunity for you, and you must seize it firmly.
...........
Since Wang Bo's army was disqualified from the competition, the number of armies entering the finals changed from five to four. After a new draw, Yue Fei's army faced Han Shizhong's army, and Chen Qing's army faced Ju Shigu's army.
The shouts of killing on the school grounds were loud, the rumbling gongs and drums were like thunder in the sky, and the cheering soldiers on both sides were shouting.
"The Western Army is mighty! The Western Army will win!"
"The Shenwu rear army will definitely win!"
Two armies of five hundred men each fought hard on the school grounds. Dust was flying and filling the entire sky. Although they had blunt knives and spears, the intensity of the fighting was no less intense than on the battlefield.
The final is still an actual confrontation, no longer divided into two halves, but a battle to determine the outcome, which lasts half an hour.
Standing on one side of the school field were Han Shizhong and Yue Fei. The battle between the two armies was the next one. They came to the school field to watch the battle by chance, and they met unexpectedly. After all, the winner between them and the winner of this game will have a final competition.
.
Han Shizhong glanced at Yue Fei, smiled slightly and said: "Yue Dutong, who do you think can win among these two armies?"
Yue Fei pursed his lips tightly and said solemnly: "If the Western Army's physical strength can keep up, their chances of victory will be greater."
"I think so!"
Han Shizhong sighed softly, "Who would have thought that this elite army was the worst among the Lin'an Xiang armies a few months ago. This Chen Qing is not an ordinary person!"
Yue Fei was silent for a moment and said: "A general who is always strong will always be a strong soldier. It can be seen from this army that this Chen Qing is a strong opponent in the finals."
Han Shizhong smiled and said: "I heard from Ambassador Zhang Xuan that this Chen Qing is also from the Eight-Character Army."
Yue Fei was startled, "He...he is also Wang Yan's general?"
Han Shizhong nodded, "He originally belonged to the Huanqing Army. After the Battle of Fuping, he was recruited by Wang Yan and appointed as the commander of the scout battalion. Later, he was appreciated by the envoy Zhang Xuan and recommended him to study martial arts. In fact, I have always wanted to
He was taken under his command, but unfortunately the officials still wanted him to go to the northwest."
Yue Fei nodded, "Jin Bing's strategic focus has turned to Shaanxi, and that is his battlefield."
'Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!'
The piercing gong sounded, and the whole game was over. The soldiers of the Western Army jumped up for joy, while the Shenwu rear army was dejected. Everyone knew without counting that the Western Army won this battle.
"Yue Dutong, let's go prepare! The next battle will be ours. I heard that the emperor will come to watch the final battle."
Yue Fei nodded, "No matter what, we will go all out!"
...........
It was not unexpected to defeat Ju Shigu's army. Ju Shigu's army was the imperial army around the emperor. They were all tall and powerful in appearance, and they were selected from all the armies.
However, the selection criterion is not for bravery in combat, but for good appearance. Basically, the soldiers in this army have no actual combat experience, and they are more protective of themselves and are afraid of being injured or disfigured. Therefore, they appear timid in the competition and are overwhelmed by the Western Army.
Hit.
The final result was fifty-six to two hundred and thirty-one, and the Western Army won with an absolute advantage.
Chen Qing's army took the lead in the final battle, and the next battle was between Yue Fei's army and Han Shizhong's army.
Now it's Chen Qing's turn to watch from the sidelines.
"General Chen!"
Chen Qing heard someone calling him from behind. When he turned around, he found out that it was Li Hui who knew the Privy Council.
Chen Qing quickly stepped forward to salute, and Li Hui smiled and said, "Congratulations to General Chen for reaching the decisive battle!"
"Thank you for the compliment, envoy. It's also good luck. If I encounter one of these two, I will definitely have no hope."
Li Hui nodded, "These two armies are indeed very brave. It is a pity that they did not meet in the end."
"But none of them look like new recruits!"
Li Hui smiled and said: "This is indeed a loophole. Not only them, but almost all armies are like this. They are new recruits on the Privy Council's military rolls, but in fact they are all experienced in hundreds of battles. This loophole is difficult to circumvent.
, the officials also acquiesced."
"There is another loophole that I would like to mention."
"you say!"
"It's just that a single game lasts too long, and the lime on the soldiers' weapons is almost gone halfway through the fight. Later, even if they hit the opponent, there will be no white marks on them, which will make the final result unreal."
Li Hui stroked his beard and said with a smile: "You are right, this is indeed a problem."
The clock rang, and the results of the second game came out. Yue Fei's army narrowly defeated Han Shizhong's army by 75 to 79, and cheers suddenly erupted on the field.
Li Hui patted him on the shoulder, "I'm afraid the emperor won't come until later, so you should be prepared."
After saying that, Li Huan turned around and left quickly...
Chen Qing looked at Li Hui's back and walked away. Li Hui came to the school specifically to find him! He was a little surprised. Li Hui was obviously passing on a secret to him.
Considering that the finals were completed within one day and the soldiers had to be given a certain amount of rest time, the final battle was held at 1:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
If the emperor had to come later, the decisive battle would probably take place in the dark, of course not at night, but in half-light and half-darkness.
In fact, when masters fight, the victory or defeat often depends on the details. If you compete in the dark, your vision will definitely be affected. At this time, the effect of night battle training will be fully reflected.
Li Hui told himself that this news was too important.
Chen Qing immediately rushed back to the military camp and found Hu Yantong and Liu Qiong.
"The decisive battle requires adjustments and the implementation of the fifth plan!"
...........
The fifth plan deployed by Chen Qing is the night battle plan, which mainly uses soldiers who are good at night fighting. Half of them are still the same soldiers who fought against the ancient army of Jushi in the morning, but the other half of the soldiers will be replaced.
At Shen Shizheng, that is, at four o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Qing led five hundred soldiers to enter the venue.
At the same time, Yue Fei's army also entered the scene. Once the armies of both sides entered the scene, there was no chance to re-dispatch their troops. At this time, no one would have thought that there would be a night battle.
It can be seen from this that the news Li Hui told Chen Qing was very important. Chen Qing knew it well. It was not because he killed Zhang Kui. The fundamental reason was the relationship between Li Hui and Zhang Jun.
Time passed little by little, and when it came to the chief's hour, the officials had not arrived yet, so the game could not proceed.
Yue Fei felt a little anxious, so he walked up to Yao Qian, a doctor in the Ministry of War, and asked, "When will the official family arrive?"
Yao Qian shook his head, "I don't know either, just wait patiently!"
Another half hour passed, and at half past six, the sky became slightly darker. Yue Fei became even more anxious. If the officials didn't come, it would get dark. Was tonight's competition going to be held at night? He didn't.
