Chapter 238: Trying out the skills of the two Lius
Chapter 238: Test their skills and compete with each other
"Gong Jin!" When they arrived at the Recruitment Hall, they saw five young people sitting in the lobby drinking tea. The first one on the left was Zhou Yu, who was dressed in white. Although he hadn't seen him for several years, his general outline had not changed. Liu Zhang glanced at
I recognized him.
"I've seen the champion!" Zhou Yu also recognized Liu Zhang, and he immediately stood up and saluted.
"Shit! Call me brother!" Liu Zhang hugged Zhou Yu fiercely and said, "We haven't seen each other for just a few years, and you are already estranged from me?"
"Brother! You're late!" Zhou Yu hugged Liu Zhang with excitement on his face. Meeting brothers is always so touching.
"It's good that you're here! Chang'an is in a desperate situation. With your help, I feel more confident!" Liu Zhang let go of Zhou Yu and patted his shoulder.
"Brother, let me introduce to you. These are young heroes that I met on the road!" Zhou Yu pulled Lu Xun over and said, "This is Lu Xun of Wu County, courtesy name Boyan. His talent is not inferior to that of my younger brother!"
"Brother Gong Jin is so complimentary! I, Lu Xun, have met the champion!" Although he was very humble, the smile on Lu Xun's face did not change at all. He deserves Zhou Yu's praise!
"No gifts, no gifts!" Liu Zhang supported Lu Xun and said: "The talented Gong Jin of Jiangzuo ranks first, and Boyan can be ranked second. If Boyan hadn't been young, he would be as famous as Gong Jin. I am very lucky to have you today.
also!"
"Champion Hou Muzan!" Lu Xun said modestly: "There are many talented people in Jiangzuo, but I am just an unknown person!"
"Bo Yan, why are you so humble! We have been together for so long, and I still don't know your talent?" Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Brother, don't pay attention to him, he is always so pretentious! Come, I will introduce you to the other three! These two
He is Tao Ying, a Tao merchant who is the son of King Mu Taofu of Xuzhou."
"Mr. Tao is loyal to the emperor and loves the people. He is a model for all officials. What a pity!" Although it was a bit false, Liu Zhang was praising Tao Qian after all. As Tao Qian's son and a pottery merchant, Tao Ying could only agree.
"See you uncle!" After Zhou Yu finished introducing the pottery merchant, Tao Ying and Liu Xian knelt on one knee in front of Liu Zhang and bowed to their elders.
"This..." Liu Zhang quickly helped Liu Xian up and said: "These days, there are many clan members in the Han Dynasty. If you want to recognize your relatives, you need a jade plate of genealogy."
"This is natural!" Liu Xian took out a roll of plain silk from the baggage he carried with him. A bunch of names were densely written on the silk. Liu Zhang took a closer look and found that it was indeed the royal family genealogy.
You must know that Liu Yan, as Zongzheng, was in charge of these things, and this was not the first time Liu Zhang saw the genealogy. What's more, Liu Zhang also found many places that overlapped with his own genealogy in the genealogy held by Liu Xian.
It can be seen that Liu Xian is indeed from the royal family, and in terms of seniority, he is still Liu Zhang's nephew.
"You are really of the blood of my Liu family! However, it is not that easy to join our army! It's okay to reward you with food. If you want to make contributions, it depends on your ability!" In Liu Zhang's memory, Liu Zhang did not exist at all.
Xian is a man, so he is not optimistic about Liu Xian!
"My uncle's words are just what I want!" Liu Xian said happily: "Mr. Xi has already tested my nephew just now. I heard that he will have to pass the assessment of General Zhao. My nephew can't wait!"
"Oh? It seems that my nephew is quite confident in his martial arts!" Liu Zhang thought that Liu Xian was just a playboy, so he smiled and said, "How about you let me help you practice a few tricks?"
"This..." Liu Xian hesitated. He had never heard of Liu Zhang's martial arts.
"Are you afraid, or are you looking down on me?" Seeing Liu Xian's hesitation, Liu Zhang couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"My nephew is offended!" Liu Xian clasped his fists fiercely, and his momentum suddenly changed, which surprised Liu Zhang.
There is a saying in the Recruitment Order: There is no partiality in scholars, and all seniors with skills can be officials. The Recruitment Hall not only recruits scribes, but also selects military generals, assassins, dead soldiers and the like. Afterwards, it is natural to build a school to take exams.
A warrior who came to the school to vote.
Everyone joined hands and came to the school field behind the museum. Liu Zhang chose a long gun from the weapons rack and said: "Swords and guns have no eyes, so how about comparing them with unbladed weapons?"
"Okay!" Liu Xian agreed and went on stage.
"Brother Liu, how about I let my younger brother go up first to attract others?" Tao Ying wanted to show off his skills in front of Liu Zhang, so he got ahead of Liu Xian.
"Okay!" Liu Xian knew Tao Ying's abilities and wanted to find out more about Liu Zhang. Now that Tao Ying had come forward, he had no reason not to agree.
"The champion is invited!" Tao Ying picked a long spear from the weapons rack, tested the weight, and then set up a rack.
"Second Master Tao, please!" Tao Ying's posture was full of flaws, which made Liu Zhang feel a little unmotivated. Even Liu Xian, Zhou Yu, and Lu Xun sighed softly. They were similar in martial arts. Although Zhou Yu and Lu Xun were just scribes, they
He also has good swordsmanship, so he can naturally tell a thing or two.
"Be careful, champion!" Seeing that Liu Zhang was not attacking, Tao Ying put one end of the spear in his hand and rushed forward. It turned out to be the simplest thrust. Tao Ying had practiced this thrust for more than a day or two!
"Eh!" Liu Zhang is also a master of spears. He naturally knows how to practice this spear technique! As a result, Liu Zhang became a little interested. It turned out that Tao Ying's posture just now was just a technique to lure the enemy. It can also be said that
The art of proud enemy.
"Dang!" The two spears intersected. Tao Ying felt his arm numb slightly, but Liu Zhang didn't seem to have used all his strength. Tao Ying gritted his teeth and swept the spear across. Liu Zhang's spear was inserted into the ground, and with a slight separation, his sweep was broken.
Qianjun. You came and I fought for nearly ten rounds. Liu Zhang gradually understood Tao Ying's martial arts.
"Be careful! Look at me, the birds are paying homage to the phoenix!" The spear suddenly appeared with a burst of birdsong. Tao Ying just heard Liu Zhang shouting loudly. Before he could react, he felt his hand loosen and the spear was picked.
Flying.
An unpretentious spearhead was placed on Tao Ying's neck. Although the spear was not fired, Tao Ying still felt the slightest chill. He swallowed his saliva and said, "I...lost..."
"Concession! Second Young Master Tao is good at martial arts, but he is too gorgeous. When he can return to his true nature, he will be considered a great success!" Liu Zhang pulled Tao Ying up and gave him a few words of instruction. Liu Xian beside him, his eyes were shining brightly, and he was a little bit...
Eager to try.
"Uncle, do you want to take a rest?" Liu Xian, holding a spear, waved it in front of Liu Zhang, looking eager to try, which made Liu Zhang secretly laugh.
"You are still a child!" Liu Zhang sighed in his heart. Troubled times have made children mature prematurely. He breathed a sigh of relief, put the spear in front of him and said: "No need! Come on!"
"Uncle, be careful!" Liu Xian is not Tao Ying. With his martial arts, Liu Zhang is no match. Just now, Liu Xian was watching the competition between Liu Zhang and Tao Ying and had already discovered Liu Zhang's flaws. Of course, there is no perfect person in the world.
The moves can find flaws, but they may not be able to attack. The same Hundred Birds Shooting Phoenix Spear has completely different power in Zhao Yun's hands than in Liu Zhang's hands!
Liu Zhang originally wanted to try Liu Xian first, but unexpectedly Liu Xian's big gun actually made a faint sound of wind. This effect can only be produced after the strength reaches a certain level. Liu Zhang's face became very serious, and he did not dare to exaggerate, but this
It was already too late to use hundreds of birds to pay homage to the phoenix. So, Liu Zhang swung his spear in a circle, and the gun body was touched by the big gun in Liu Xian's hand and moved it sideways. It was the four-liang stroke of Tai Chi's strength!
Liu Xian felt that the gun in his hand was tilted, and five of the ten layers of strength were actually removed. He calmly stood still with both feet, and the gun swept towards Liu Zhang's waist. Liu Zhang had no way to avoid it, so he had to raise his gun to resist.
A huge force came from the barrel of the gun, and Liu Zhang suddenly felt his arms numb slightly, and he couldn't hold the big gun in his hand! At this time, Liu Xian did not take advantage of the victory to pursue him, but stood aside with the gun.
"My good nephew is good at martial arts!" Liu Zhang moved his arms. He knew that Liu Xian was sincere in giving in. If he couldn't show his full strength, how could Liu Xian show his value? As for Liu Zhang's strength, at least it was as good as a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix.
The gun was not used!
"Uncle, if you hadn't been considerate of my nephew's young age, maybe he would have been defeated by you!" Liu Xian smiled slightly and secretly reminded Liu Zhang not to underestimate the enemy again. In fact, this is just a martial arts competition, otherwise Liu Zhang would have already used all his strength to fight against the enemy.
go.
"Okay! Nephew, look at my Hundred Birds Chao Phoenix Spear!" Liu Zhang knew that Liu Xian was very powerful, so he used the most exquisite move in the Hundred Birds Chao Phoenix Spear. The shadow of the gun was blazing, and the gun heads were all over the sky. Every move seemed like a false move.
, but all of them are real moves, combining virtual and real, strong and soft. From the side, the shadow of the gun seems to form a giant bird, and the head of the gun looks like the beak of the giant bird. This move is Tong Yuan's most powerful move.
Apart from Liu Zhang, only Zhao Yun learned this proud move!
"This is...Phoenix?" Tao Ying stared at Liu Zhang and Liu Xian who were competing in martial arts. He only knew that Liu Xian's martial arts was very high, but he did not expect that Liu Zhang's martial arts was so superb.
"Second brother, no wonder my father looks down on us... Compared to Champion, Zhou Gongjin, and Lu Boyan, we are really not worth mentioning!" The potter also looked lonely, and his mouth was slightly bitter. He thought about how proud they were in Xuzhou back then.
, I have always been dissatisfied with Tao Qian’s evaluation. Now it seems that Tao Qian’s vision is really very bright!
"Dang! Duo..." Liu Zhang was defeated. He took a few steps back, and the spear in his hand was knocked away, and he was lying on the weapon rack. Although Liu Zhang's moves were very exquisite, his strength was not as good as Liu Xian's, and his grasp of the moves was not as good as Liu Xian's.
Not as good as Liu Xian. After all, as the lord, Liu Zhang did not have to go into battle to kill the enemy, but Liu Xian's martial arts skills were achieved by fighting hard in the formation of the two armies!
"Okay!" Liu Zhang was overjoyed. He originally thought that Liu Xian was just a playboy, and even if he was strong, he would not be much stronger. Liu Zhang regarded his martial arts as second-rate, but Liu Xian defeated him so easily, which shows that Liu Zhang
Xian is at least a second-rate general. Of course, Liu Xian may also be a first-rate general, but he still needs to find someone to give it a try!
"I accept it!" Liu Xian put the spear back into the weapon rack, stepped forward to support Liu Zhang and said, "My nephew offended me, please forgive me, uncle!"
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "It's okay! My nephew is really my Liu family's thousand-mile horse! You must still have something to hold on to! I'll let Zilong fight you again later. You know, General Zilong is the most skilled in martial arts among my sect.
He is one of the best among the generals under my command!"
"That's a good relationship!" Liu Xian's face was full of excitement when he heard about the martial arts competition. As the saying goes: Civilization is not the first, military is not the second. The general has to fight hard, otherwise he is still a general?
