The school ground behind him was still bustling with people, but at this moment, Cheng Pu only had Han Dang in his eyes.
When he heard Han Dang's words, Cheng Pu knew that this boy was acting stupidly.
He squatted on the ground and said with stern eyes:
"You wake up, Han Dang. The past is over, let's work hard in the Taishan Army."
With that said, Cheng Pu grabbed Han Dang's shoulders.
But before he could catch him, Han Dang raised his hand to interrupt, and then he said to Cheng Pu:
"What does it mean to have passed? Although the days of fighting with my lord were short, I, Old Han, will never forget them in my life."
Then without waiting for Cheng Pu to speak, Han Dang continued to mock:
"I'm surprised. When we attacked Yecheng that day, I asked you to advise the lord to be more cautious. What did you tell me? You said you trust the lord, but now? Is this what you mean by trust? Another lord? I'm sorry, I
Han Dang is a man with strong bones, and kneeling down once in his life is enough."
Cheng Pu was so angry at what Han Dang said that his face flushed red, and he subconsciously wanted to punch Han Dang. But seeing the look in Han Dang's eyes, Cheng Pu held back and persuaded him again:
"Old Han, you and I are both from the north, and we have fought together on the battlefield for a year. I already treat you as a brother. So everything I say to you is for your own good. Sun Jian is dead, and we were able to deal with him before.
Now, we have to live for ourselves. I have observed the Taishan Army, and I can tell you for sure that the Taishan Army has its head here. In the future, the world may belong to the Taishan Army. Don’t you want to honor your ancestors?"
Cheng Pu wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Han Dang, who said contemptuously:
"Shut up, don't talk to me about brothers. You Cheng Pu is not worthy of being my brother. I don't understand. Why are you like this now? Are you still the upright Apu I know? Now,
Just for the sake of glory and wealth, have you forgotten the friendship of fighting on the battlefield with your lord?"
Cheng Pu opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but Han Dang didn't listen at all. He pulled his hem and said bluntly:
"Cheng Pu, please stop talking. Today you and I cut off our robes and sever our sworn ties. From now on, we are not brothers. We are not the same person. I am a righteous person, and I will have no regrets even if I die."
At this point, Cheng Pu stopped talking. He stood up slowly, once again blocking Han Dang's sunlight.
The teaching field over there shouted again:
"Always withered~"
"Always withered~"
Obviously, a military officer named Chang Li achieved results that were not inferior to those of Cheng Pu and Han Dang.
Amidst the cheers, Cheng Pu stood and Han Dang squatted. Their eyes collided, forming a decisive parting of ways.
Cheng Pu said coldly to Han Dang in the shadow:
"I have joined the collision team now, and I will keep an eye on you. If you mess around, I will definitely catch you."
Han Dang looked at the indifferent Cheng Pu, a little strange, but still sneered:
"Don't worry, I, Han Dang, am not a careless person. Captain Yu Jinyu saved my life and recommended me to the Military Academy, where I learned some battle formation techniques. I am not the kind of person who repays kindness with enmity."
Cheng Pu snorted:
"You better be!"
Then he turned around and left, feeling like a stranger now.
Looking at Cheng Pu's back, Han Dang felt his heart twitch and wanted to regret it, but what came out of his mouth was this sentence:
"Hey, you don't want to sell me, do you?"
As soon as these words came out, Han Dang regretted it even more.
When Cheng Pu over there heard this, he froze. His trembling shoulders kept suppressing it. For a long time, he said hoarsely:
"Don't worry, you didn't even think about assassination, so why should I accuse you? Besides, although I am not as affectionate and righteous as you, I can't do anything to you."
After saying this, Cheng Pu strode away.
Looking at Cheng Pu's retreating figure, Han Dang murmured:
"My brother, let me repay this favor. After all, it was my lord who found me, and this is what I deserve. As for you, brother, just do your best and let us northern men be majestic. Haha!"
But why is this smile so bitter?
…
When Cheng Pu calmed down and returned to his seat, Chang Lio took his own sword and sat next to him.
Cheng Pu and Chang Tie were not familiar with each other. They were not in the same system in the Han army before.
He and Han Dang belonged to Sun Jian's tribe, while Chang Suo was a knight from Hedong. Although they were both captured outside Yecheng, they actually didn't exchange a few words. Later, even though they enrolled in the Military Academy together for three months, They are just casual acquaintances with each other.
Thinking of Han Dang, Cheng Pu sighed and couldn't figure out why Han Dang was so violent all of a sudden. Did he really want to die for Sun Jian?
Thinking of this, Cheng Pu was filled with worries and contradictions.
At this time, Chang Sui, who was sitting down, was beaming with joy. He unexpectedly turned his head and said to Cheng Pu:
"I just watched it down there, and your third round shot was really good. Whether it was power or accuracy, it was top notch. It was amazing."
Cheng Pu was not thinking about this and said perfunctorily:
"It's nothing. When I was in my hometown, I just shot rabbits. If I shot too many, that's it. What about you? How are your results?"
Chang Tie clicked his tongue and said half pity and half show off:
"I'm worse than you. The third arrow missed the target by an inch. After all, I still suffered the disadvantage of being young. As soon as I was in the audience, Xu Qujiang said something about me. He said that if I raise my strength for another two years, I will be strong enough. You can come up if you are right."
Of course Cheng Pu knew who the general Xu Qu mentioned by Chang Tie was Xu Huang, the heroic general in the sudden cavalry. Because Chang Tie and Xu Huang were both from Hedong, they had a subordinate relationship in the Sanhe Cavalry in the past.
It was only later that during the Battle of Yingyin, Xu Huang was captured and Chang Tie was spared, and only then did the following series of events occur.
Cheng Pu had something on his mind and didn't want to talk to Chang Tong anymore, so he didn't answer the question and just focused on the field.
Chang Tiao did not feel that Cheng Pu was neglecting him, because like Cheng Pu, he was attracted by the person who appeared at this time.
Because they all know that this person is the strongest warrior in this period.
And now, it's his turn to appear.
…
After Chang Sui led him down to teach him the sword, Zhang Chong suddenly said to the soldiers present:
"Now that we have completed more than half of the competition, we should take a break. Let the members of the collision team choose a few and show them to the military preparation students."
After hearing this, Guo Zu, the leader of the collision team beside him, nodded and accepted the order, then left the stage and went to the audience to select six people to enter.
The six selected people took off their armor, picked up their bows, and then died. Among them was one who held a crossbow.
The first five people shot first. Each one stood a hundred and fifty away, drew the bow three times, and missed all three times. Then the last person to appear was the one with the crossbow.
I saw this man actually stepped back another fifty steps, reaching 200 steps away, then sat on the ground, stepped on the crossbow, exerted force on his waist and abdomen, aimed at the same point, and then missed the arrow.
Then the arrow pierced the target like a thunderbolt and penetrated directly into the target's chop.
The military officer on the side shouted:
"Spot on the bull's eye."
A crossbow can be fired from a distance of two hundred paces and still hit the target. This is a miraculous skill.
Therefore, the military preparation students in the audience were silent for a moment, and then they burst into even more enthusiastic shouts.
Over there, the generals of Mount Tai were also admiring, one of them was particularly proud, he was Chen Huan.
It turns out that the one below firing a crossbow is none other than his clan brother Chen Cheng.
When the Taishan Army invaded the Dongping Kingdom, Chen Cheng brought Chen Huan's family and a dozen tribesmen to join Chen Huan.
In the second year of Guanghe's reign, Chen Huan and a group of villagers were dissatisfied with the rotten Chen Su they received, so they united to seek justice.
After several failed attempts, they decided to give the warehousemen a harsh blow, so they launched an army and started a rebellion. Everyone knows the story that followed.
Chen Huan and other countrymen were ruthlessly suppressed. If Zhang Chong and his others had not been able to rescue Chen Huan when their canal boat was parked nearby, he would not be where he is now.
After Chen Huan left and refused to return, Chen Huan's family hid in Zebian and wandered.
Later, Chen Huan moved to the north and south with the Taishan Army and gained some fame. Only then did his family members know that he was not dead, so they all came to join him.
In fact, there are many Taishan soldiers in situations like Chen Huan's.
As the power of the Taishan Army becomes stronger and stronger, everyone in this system is calling for friends, hoping that their relatives and friends will climb the dragon scales and attach themselves to the phoenix tail with them, so that they can rise to the top together.
Zhang Chong also looked at the man named Chen Cheng below, nodded repeatedly, and said to Guo Zuda beside him:
"Xiao Chen is not bad. He has not lost his Chen family's kung fu. And I also heard that he withdrew my golden sword during the battle in Xingyang before, saying that he would live up to the brothers who blocked Youzhou's sudden cavalry?
"
Guo Zu nodded hurriedly:
"That's right, it's Xiao Chen."
Zhang Chong's eyes narrowed with laughter:
"This Xiao Chen is a bit interesting. I will release him later and take him to a camp to see if he can live up to his brothers."
Guo Zu hurriedly wrote it down, and then continued to kneel behind Zhang Chong.
Over there, Xi Shen from Juan County also stepped forward and echoed:
"Commander Qu, this collision team is indeed the strongest in our army. They are good at martial arts."
Zhang Chong smiled but said nothing.
Ding Sheng over there choked directly:
"You still don't know whether the collision team is strong or not? Don't you have a hundred collision teams in Heji? It's just that you don't use them very well."
Obviously, there is a story here. Ding Sheng told it on behalf of Zhang Chong, and he wanted to reprimand Xi Shen.
Xi Shen obviously felt guilty. When Ding Sheng choked him, he didn't reply and just kept smiling innocently.
Ding Sheng couldn't see this man pretending to be stupid, so he continued to scold him, but Du Man, the leader over there, coughed and interrupted Ding Sheng's words.
Then Dumandan said:
"Okay, today is the shooting banquet for the military officers, please be quiet."
Ding Sheng curled his lips and said nothing. He only touched the cup with Li Damu beside him.
Seeing Li Damu pick up the cup and drink water blankly, Ding Sheng was helpless:
"What an idiot."
Zhang Chong was indeed dissatisfied with Xi Shen for two reasons.
One is that as Ding Sheng said before, Xi Shen did not make good use of the hundreds of people in the collision team. Now they are still serving as trainers, and few of them are serving as generals in the Heji area. On the contrary, Xi Shen's evil boys and
The backbone of Lushanying rose quickly.
Heifu told him all this in a secret letter. With Heifu's brainpower, he could see that Xi Shen was nepotistic in the Heji area. How could Zhang Chong not see it?
But Zhang Chong was even more dissatisfied with the second point. At the end of last year, Xi Shen actually negotiated with Jiyin County on his own initiative and agreed to the other side's request for peace.
It was a matter of war and peace, and Xi Shen dared to make a decision without informing Zhang Chong, which shows how courageous he was.
But Zhang Chong was just dissatisfied. After Dong Fang's incident, he had expected this after he temporarily promoted Xi Shen. This careless boy has a lot of thoughts. But no matter what, this person is in the Heji area.
It is undoubtedly meritorious.
For more than half a year, it has not only blocked the counterattack from central and southern Yanzhou, but has also continued to grow and develop, which is already very good.
but……
Over there, Xi Shen secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Du Man's protective voice. But suddenly he heard Qu Shuai say:
"A Shen, you have to come back to help me later and go to the cavalry. We will have a big operation later and we need you as a cavalry commander."
Xi Shen's hands froze, and he tried his best to squeeze out a smile and bowed to Zhang Chong:
"only!"
Then he retreated to his position, lost in thought.
When the generals present saw Xi Shen's appearance, their minds were spinning and they tried hard to watch the shooting skills below.
At this time, another team of collision teams finished their performance.
Zhang Chong nodded, and then said with satisfaction:
"These colliding teams under the curtain have practiced well. Even though they have learned the art of war, they have not failed in their martial arts, so they will be rewarded."
But Guo Zuqian next to him gave way:
"Commander Qu, the colliding team is the first choice in the army, and they don't have to worry about other things. They work hard every day on martial arts, and there is no shortage of meat. Once they are sent out, they will be a hundred-man generals. Such a favor will not be lost."
If you have good habits, what is the use? So these are what the collision team should do, and Qu Shuai rewards them, but instead makes them proud."
Zhang Chong was speechless and laughed:
"Azu turned around and started talking, but he still needs a reward. There is no such thing as a reward in this world. If they do well and satisfy me, they will be rewarded. Later, let the craftsmen camp and make twelve gold medals with the inscription 'Shooting'
Two words, and then reward these twelve people."
Thank you, Guo Zu.
In the conversation between Zhang Chong and Guo Zu, those who were interested felt that there was something in the conversation, especially Xi Shen, who turned pale.
Zhang Chong didn't care about those who were there or not. When he saw that the shooting banquet was almost over, he said to Tao An, who was a little outside:
"Master Potter, have all the outstanding ones arrived?"
Tao An was always there. After hearing Zhang Chong's words, he seemed to have woken up and said respectfully:
"Back to Qu Shuai, there is still one person who has not appeared, and this person is the strongest in this period, with the three skills of bow, horse and spear."
"Compared to Cheng Pu and Han Dang, why are they so often withered?"
"If three people fight this person together, they will probably be inferior."
At this time, all the generals' curiosity was aroused.
Who is so brave?
They have clearly seen the martial arts of Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Chang Tiao. They are all excellent cavalry commanders. With their fine horses and fine armor, they are capable of defeating hundreds of people.
Just like that, three people can't compare to this one person?
Zhang Chong laughed loudly:
"Okay, it seems that all the heroes in the world are going to be at my disposal. Since Master Tao said this person is so extraordinary, then this ordinary rifle shooter can't see this person's ability. In this way, I heard that there is a special kind of
The art of shooting immediately is called hanging shooting. How about letting this person show it to the generals?"
All the generals present were stunned because this hanging shot was a very difficult display of mounted shooting.
The rider on the galloping horse has to shoot at a hanging wooden board. There are three difficulties in this skill. One is that the galloping horse can catch the shaking wooden board, which is very difficult. The second is that this shot can only be done once.
, so there is only one chance. The third is that this is a public performance, and the performer must be under huge psychological pressure.
Just when everyone thought Tao An would refuse on behalf of the military officer, Tao An bowed respectfully and said:
"I secretly thanked Qushuai for this person and thanked Qushuai for giving him the opportunity to become famous in the world."
Zhang Chong stroked his long beard and said proudly:
"Then please invite this person to appear. Let me see what kind of warrior can impress Master Tao!"
