Huo Si's mother and daughter, the Jian sisters, Yu Jin, and Mi Heng were all watching, while Wu Sheng stood in the center with a sword in hand. Opposite him was Wang Zheng, who had just returned to Kaiyang. The two were now in a confrontation.
Wang Zheng raised his sword eyebrows as soon as he saw Wu Sheng's posture, and Yu Jin even said softly "Eh", and couldn't help but said: "Major Wu has made great progress in martial arts. Just holding the sword in such a posture will make the general look on with awe.
Not to mention, at a glance, I can't see any flaws, and I feel like I can't attack."
"Hehe." Hearing this, Wu Sheng looked so proud that his tail almost went up to the sky. He turned his head and glanced at Yu Jin, then said with a rare and affectionate smile: "Brother Wen Ze, you really have good eyesight!"
Then he turned to look at Wang Zheng, first glanced at the long sword in Wang Zheng's hand, snorted softly, and shouted: "Azheng, you really don't use the divine sword?"
"Let me make it clear first, not only have I improved my martial arts skills, but also my strength, hey..." After saying that, he raised the long knife in his hand and said confidently: "This knife is also extraordinary."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Could it be that you kid can still hurt me?" Wang Zheng smiled and snorted: "Just come over here!"
Seeing the two of them talking and laughing casually and unrestrainedly, Yu Jinni Heng on the side looked at each other speechlessly, and both of them were secretly envious.
Today, with the Heavenly Army consisting of tens of thousands of people, Wu Sheng is probably the only one who dares to get along with Wang Zheng like this, right?
As for the Huo Si girls, when they saw Wang Zhengshuo's domineering display, they all started to applaud. Only Huo Qi made a face and booed, seeming to be more supportive of Wu Sheng.
Then Wu Sheng shouted softly, then he lowered his waist and sat on his horse, stepped forward with his broad feet, and was struck with a sharp sword!
A strong force will weaken the force. With just one blow, Wang Zheng could see that Wu Sheng's strength had really improved a lot.
While thinking secretly, Wang Zheng also let out a long roar, raised his arms and swung his sword. In an instant, the fine steel sword in his hand bounced into the air as nimbly as a living thing, and he directly pointed at the sword.
when!
The swords collided with each other, making a loud clang and causing the onlookers to scream in surprise.
They all knew that Wang Zheng's divine power was unparalleled, so they were naturally extremely surprised that in this obvious competition of strength, Wu Sheng actually seemed not to fall behind and did not even take half a step back.
Wang Zheng's eyes also flickered. Compared to others, he felt more satisfied at this time.
Sure enough, you get what you pay for, and there is indeed a qualitative difference between the fifth-level troops that consume a huge amount of experience and the fourth-level ones.
When Wu Sheng was promoted to the Yellow Turban Platoon Soldier that day, he also tried the depth. When he was only level 18, Wu Sheng couldn't even catch 30% of his strength.
Today's Wang Zheng has not only been upgraded by two levels, his strength is as high as 48 points. The attack just now also used 50% of the strength, but it was completely unable to shake Wu Sheng, who was a yellow scarf warrior at this time.
At this time, Wu Sheng's confidence also surged, and when he shouted happily, he slashed out two more swords. The cold light flashed, turning into a stormy wave, and struck directly at Wang Zheng.
Wang Zheng remained motionless, his long sword kept swiping at a very short distance, sticking to the very narrow circle around him, but he seemed to be in a situation where he could barely parry. For a moment, the light of the sword surged, and the shadow of the sword converged. Everyone was horrified when they saw it.
He was afraid that Wu Sheng would make a mistake and really hurt Wang Zheng.
Wu Shengsha's rise was unyielding and he continued to attack with swords and swords. After ten rounds of fierce fighting, Wang Zheng never found any chance to fight back. After all, he was so proud that he couldn't hold back and shouted like a spring thunder.
In the midst of the sound, when the next sword was struck, seven points of force were already used!
On the surface, this sword looks no different from the previous strikes, but almost all onlookers can see that it is so powerful and fierce that people instantly feel that it is difficult to hit it.
The moment Wu Sheng held the sword, his blood surged and he was knocked back several steps!
"Are you still addicted to fighting?"
While laughing and scolding Wu Sheng, Wang Zheng glanced at the sword in his hand and couldn't help but say "hey".
Not long after the battle, cracks appeared on the sword?
After sheathing the sword, Wu Sheng directly handed over the long sword in his hand and placed it in his hand for a closer look.
After looking at it carefully for a while, Wang Zheng threw the long knife back to Wu Sheng, and then asked: "Where did this knife come from?"
"Hehe." Wu Sheng scratched his head and grinned: "Actually, I don't know where Hongyi came from."
"This sword is called Hongyi?" Wang Zheng was startled when he heard this: "Did you take it?"
How can this idiot come up with such an elegant name?
"No, after I recovered from my injury, when I woke up one day, I saw Hongyi appearing on the bedside." Wu Sheng shook his head, "And at a glance, I knew it was called Hongyi!"
"Hongyi is very powerful. When I was cleaning up the bandits in Taishan, I once broke more than ten weapons in one day on the battlefield. There were all kinds of swords, guns, swords and halberds, but Hongyi was not damaged at all." Wu Sheng said with a smile.
, then pointed to the sky above his head: "I understood it a long time ago."
"This decision is given by Huang Tian!"
When everyone was stunned when they heard this, Wang Zheng touched the stubble on his chin, thoughtfully.
He naturally knows that in the "Mount and Cut" game, the original upgrade of the troops is to update the equipment at the same time. It can even be said that in the real game, the difference in the strength of the troops largely depends on the sophistication of the equipment.
Moreover, the equipment of each level of these soldiers has fixed template standards and cannot even be changed.
But since time traveling, this situation has never happened in the Yellow Turban route, or even in other cavalry and archer routes. Wang Zheng naturally thought that this rule could not be established in reality.
But judging from Wu Sheng’s incident, the system will still send template standard equipment to the soldiers, but only to fifth-level soldiers?
Damn, then why don’t I, the general, have it?
I have the weapons to conquer thousands of miles, but I don’t have the armor yet!
While complaining, Wang Zheng asked again: "Besides being sharp, is there any other feeling?"
In his opinion, in terms of sharpness, the Hongyi Sword was far inferior to the Divine Sword, so he wanted to ask if, in reality, the equipment directly given by the system had any other value besides being sophisticated.
"Azheng, how did you know that?" Wu Sheng was so surprised that he even called him by his first name. Then he blinked his eyes and said, "I don't know why, after I got the Hongyi, I always felt that I couldn't hold other weapons in my hands.
It’s awkward and not smooth!”
"In the past, if I was fighting on horseback, I was used to wearing some long weapons, but now..." He touched the Hongyi Sword fondly: "But I can no longer use anything else."
Well, Wang Zheng nodded, this can only be attributed to the influence of the system.
Speaking of which, Wu Sheng changed a lot after he was promoted. Not only did he get a precious sword, but his strength and body also changed. He even... seemed to have learned some sword skills without a teacher.
This kid is obviously like him. He has never received any guidance from a famous teacher or any systematic study of martial arts. Most of his skills are gained from actual combat on the battlefield. However, during today's competition, although there were no obvious moves, Wang Zheng did.
I felt that Wu Sheng's attacks were different from before, and they were no longer the same as him.
If he was adapting to the situation and doing whatever he wanted when facing the enemy, then Wu Sheng's sword skills at this time were already organized.
There are so many benefits to the fifth-level soldiers... It seems that there will be more to come.
This is the experience... Thinking of that dazzling question mark, Wang Zheng felt uneasy and even more heartbroken.
Does this mean that the experience of upgrading each fourth-level soldier has high or low, and it is all random?
At this time, footsteps sounded outside the courtyard.
Soon after, a personal guard came in and bowed to report: "General, Chang Xi has been waiting in the lobby."
...
Speaking of which, although it has been some time since he came to Kaiyang, this is the first time Chang Xi has set foot in the center of the city, the county seat that represents the supreme rule of Langya County.
Grain
When I walked into the mansion, I even staggered a little because I was so excited.
No one else, because when Yu Jin sent people to convey the message, he made it clear to Chang Xi that Wang Zheng hurriedly returned from Yangzhou to Pengcheng because of Lu Bu, but because he could only stay in Pengcheng for one night, he hurried 500 miles and hurriedly traveled 500 miles under the stars. He rushed back to Kaiyang within two days.
The reason is to see him flourish as soon as possible!
This made Chang Xi, who was also a giant in the field, inevitably feel emotional.
Who is Wang Zheng?
Sitting on the land of three counties, this young hero has tens of thousands of fierce warriors under his command!
How could you treat him with such courtesy?
Although they have never met each other before, Chang Xi has always admired Wang Zheng.
Because the scope of Wang Zheng's activities since the uprising, whether it is Qijun in Qingzhou or Langya and Pengcheng in Xuzhou, is not far from Mount Tai, the base camp of Changxi.
It is precisely because Wang Zheng also came from the same humble background as him and Yu Jin. No, in terms of humble background, it may be even worse than the two of them!
Therefore, Chang Xi has been secretly paying attention to and paying attention to the opponent since he conquered Linzi.
If Ke Linzi, the fifth capital of the Han Dynasty, only allowed him to take a high look at this young man, then the enemy's capture of Pengcheng would really have to make Chang Xi look at him with admiration.
Changxi had also invaded Pengcheng many times, so he knew very well how strong and difficult this pass was.
Later, Wang Zheng took the initiative to send troops to the north. In the first ten months of the month, he defeated the county of Fenggao and quickly occupied the entire Taishan County. As a Taishan native, Chang Xi not only did not feel hostile, but was completely impressed by him.
Precisely because he is a local, he is more aware of the difficulty of this matter and the ability that Wang Zheng represents behind the fact that not only did Wang Zheng occupy Mount Tai, but the process seemed to be very easy and smooth!
That is the prowess of this young hero, and even more so the fighting ability of his soldiers!
Precisely because Wang Zheng's previous deeds had a very high impression, Chang Xi was shocked when he saw Yu Jin, an old friend, coming to surrender in person, and he quickly made a decision.
He knows very well the ability to inhibit his human nature!
If Wang Zheng was not the master of the Ming Dynasty, how could Yu Jin surrender to him in good faith? He would even persuade him to surrender to his family?
Especially when Yu Jin defected to Wang Zheng, he still betrayed Cao Cao at the risk of his family being implicated!
This emotion, surprise, and even disbelief became the last straw that overcame all Chang Xi's hesitation and hesitation!
But this time, Wang Zheng took the trouble to come from Pengcheng to meet with him as a surrendered general. Such an effort made Chang Xi, who was proud and arrogant, feel very good about him.
You must know that in the original history, after Lu Bu's defeat, Chang Xi, Zang Ba, Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li and others surrendered to Cao Cao. However, Chang Xi and the other four people were either loyal to Cao Cao wholeheartedly or acted against Cao Cao in secret. On the other hand, Chang Xi has always been capricious, and has achieved impressive results of four reductions and three rebellions. He was restless and unconventional until the last time, when he met an old acquaintance in the ban, and finally calmed down completely.
The key is that Cao Cao's attitude after hearing this was very interesting.
At that time, Taizu's army, Chunyu, heard about it and sighed: "Xi surrendered but failed to satisfy me and returned to the ban. Isn't it an order?" Yichong Ban.
First of all, from the following "Yi Heavy Ban", it shows that Cao Cao not only approved of Yu Jin's approach, but even admired and promoted it.
But from what Cao Cao said, Cao Cao really felt regretful and even regretful about the death of such a capricious bandit like Chang Xi.
This shows that Chang Xi is a talented person, because according to history, when facing the head of Guizhou who is not a "scholar", only when the other party embodies value and demonstrates talent can Emperor Wu of Wei show rare generosity.
Of course, on the other hand, Cao Cao was so generous to Chang Xi, so why did he still repay kindness with hatred and always stabbed him in the back whenever he found an opportunity?
Later analysis shows that there are two possibilities.
One is birth.
People with a humble background will feel complacent about their humble beginnings after achieving great achievements. Therefore, they are not very fond of the second-generation officials and second-generation rich people who inherit the legacy of their predecessors.
A typical representative is Zhu Yuanzhang.
After Emperor Hongwu ascended to the throne, his ministers wanted to beautify his ancestor's background and found him a famous person named Zhu Xi as his ancestor. Zhu Yuanzhang simply rolled his eyes.
Being able to conquer the world with my birthrate is precisely the most favorable proof. I, Zhu Chongba, am the "destined destination"!
It’s all awesome, so what else do you need to sugarcoat it?
He even opened and shut his mouth to say "I am a commoner of Huaiyou", as if he was afraid that people would not know that he was once a farmer.
Moreover, he was also the king of Wu and also started his career in the south. Zhu Yuanzhang's evaluation of Sun Quan, his predecessor, was really not very flattering.
There are clouds on Zhongshan Mountain, floating and rising, between red and purple. People say that they are like a king, like a dragon sloughing away.
Emperor Gao, Liu Chengyi, Xu Zhongshan, and Tang Dongou decided to sleep in a cave. They each found their place and hid it in their sleeves. The three of them joined together and the caves were fixed. Before the construction of Xiaoling Mausoleum in the Ming Dynasty, they discovered the tomb of Emperor Sun Quan. They asked: "There is a cave on the left side of the door."
Sun Quan's tomb, please move.
Sun Quan, the 22nd generation grandson of Sun Wu, is his background acceptable?
In the fifth year of Jian'an, he took over the Jiangdong foundation from his late brother Sun Ce and became the founding monarch of the Soochow regime. This is not a bad achievement, right?
When Hongwu found out, he waved his sleeves and praised Sun Quan briefly: Sun Quan is a good man.
Then hit the target hard.
Leave him to guard the door!
Although there was a world of difference between Chang Xi and Zhu Yuanzhang in terms of achievements, Chang Xi's perception of Cao Cao was indeed far inferior to that of Liu Bei, who also made his fortune from scratch.
Of course, if it were just this, it would not be justified. After all, although Cao Cao was a second-generation official, compared to Liu Bei, his entrepreneurial history was slightly less impressive, but compared with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, he was much stronger.
Therefore, the second point is the main reason.
Chang Xi felt that Cao Cao didn't pay enough attention to him!
Especially compared to Zang Ba, who was also a member of the Taishan bandits.
In the third year of Jian'an, the Battle of Zhulu in the Central Plains came to an end, and Cao Cao marched eastward to Xuzhou. After resisting for more than three months, Lu Bu finally died in Baimenlou, while Zang Ba and other five people surrendered to Cao Cao.
Subsequently, Cao Cao prepared for the upcoming Battle of Guandu in advance. He first separated some land from Langye Kingdom, Donghai County, and Beihai County, established Changlu County, and merged Chengyang and Licheng
Upgraded from county to county.
Later, the new converts were given official positions, among which Zang Ba was appointed the prime minister of Langxie, Chang Xi was appointed the governor of Donghai County, and Sun Guan was appointed the governor of Beihai County...
At first glance, it seems that Changxi's treatment is not bad. After all, as the state seat of Xuzhou, Donghai County is naturally more important than Langya County.
But first of all, Zang Ba really managed all the territory of Langya, while Changxi only managed part of the territory of Donghai, only four or five counties at most.
Secondly, according to historical records, Cao Cao also "cut off the two states of Qing and Xu and entrusted them to the hegemons."
It can be seen that among the five thieves of Mount Tai, the person whom Cao Cao valued the most was Zang Ba, not Chang Xi.
He did not suffer from poverty but from inequality, and although Chang Xi did not break out on the spot, his dissatisfaction was deeply rooted in his heart, paving the way for several rebellions in the future.
