The little eunuch rectified the troops and found that the number of people was not too much or not, there were 85,000 in total. He also excluded some old, weak, sick and disabled people, and made up the total of 80,000. It was barely a strong brigade. Liu Jianxun didn't know where he came from.
An old man and a young man came to work. The old man's name is Zhu Kaihong, who is forty-five years old. The younger brother is called Zhu Linzong, who is nineteen years old. They are both capable of lifting the cauldron. They are both brave enough to be worthy of their ancestors.
He is a martial arts practitioner, and now he is a national employee. He just wants to come out and have a promising future. The young eunuch Daxi took him under his account and appointed him as deputy generals. There are also Yang Guangya from Lingnan, Xu Huanzhang, Niu Songshan, Lu Jitai, Xiao Tianlei from Minnan, He Laowu from Xiangxi, and Chi Fa from Gannan.
In the Tang Dynasty, Ezhou Mao Xingwang and others came to seek refuge, and all the young eunuchs were taken in. The eunuchs were not listed in order, and it was stated that they would all be treated as deputy generals for the time being. If they have merit in the future, they will be promoted.
The young eunuch has a large number of elite soldiers and is very ambitious. He will go out to fight the next day and will definitely fight against the rebel kings. He was talking in the camp that day when suddenly Hu Sanyan said:
"When my brother sends troops, he needs to choose a vanguard."
The little eunuch nodded in agreement. He originally wanted to appoint Liu Jianxun as the vanguard. After Hu San reminded him, he realized that there is an unwritten rule in the army. If you want to convince others, you must first submit to the military. No matter how high your position is,
, If you are good at martial arts and have only a few skills, you will not be able to convince others. Since you cannot convince others, you will naturally not be able to lead troops in war.
On that day, the marshal was promoted to the generals and ordered the generals to propose the selection of vanguards. Everyone looked at each other in confusion. They felt immodest when reporting to themselves, and felt unconvinced when reporting to others. The young eunuch suddenly froze and laughed:
"Don't be in trouble, I have a perfect way. Let's compete in martial arts tomorrow! Who is the hero, who is the hero, male or female, we only have one thing to say when we meet on the school field, this is a competition, not a fight, stop here, don't use it
You are strong, you cannot hurt your own people, otherwise it will be a joke."
The generals were ordered to choose a day to compete
The first round is to lift the cauldron. This is a laborious activity, and it does not require a lot of brute force from everyone. In addition, the cauldron is not very heavy. All the generals can easily pass the second round. Archery. Traditionally, to practice martial arts, practice archery first.
It's like having an extra hand and three arrows. After that, the last two are eliminated. The third round is the real kung fu. In the martial arts competition, you use real swords and guns. If you are not careful, you can accidentally injure someone's life.
It's not impossible, but Marshal Pan has given the order first, and no one dares to use cunning or small tricks secretly.
The young general Zhu Linzong showed off his power and won three battles in a row. Seeing that he had obtained the Pioneer Seal, there were still people who were still dissatisfied. Mao Xingwang urged his horse forward. After a hundred rounds of fighting, the two of them still had no outcome. Suddenly, a thunderbolt struck.
There was a loud noise, the clouds were thick, the dust was flying, and it looked like rain was about to come. Marshal Pan ordered the competition to be stopped.
The generals whispered behind their backs: Everyone showed up at the school today. Everyone has different abilities, some are high and some are low, but there is no problem in going into battle. Only one person did not show off his skills. This person is Marshal Pan Youan. It stands to reason that a general is in command and does not have any special skills.
The incompetent marshal doesn't take action. I don't know his true face in Lushan. I heard that the marshal was once a eunuch. Although he has a hairy beard on his mouth, he is not a real man after all. Even if he has some skills, I'm afraid he won't be much better.
The generals' remarks reached the young eunuch's ears, and he smiled slightly and ignored them.
Early the next morning, the little eunuch wore a helmet and was fully armed. He had a quiver on his back and a bow, a diamond sword on his waist, and a soul-seducing spear in his hand. He was riding a white horse and hit the horse like flying. He fired ten arrows in succession, and the arrows hit the target.
Bullseye, everyone yelled. Someone erected ten wooden stakes in the pit. The little eunuch, who was as big as the mouth of a bowl, activated his power. The diamond sword was shot, and the ten wooden stakes were cut in half. Everyone shouted again. The little eunuch then inserted the sword into the pit.
Sheath, holding out the soul seducing spear, the sound of horse hooves clattering, everyone held their breath, in the blink of an eye, ten wooden stakes were hooked up by the roots, and everyone cheered again
The little eunuch didn't change his expression, didn't take a breath, smiled slightly and said: "Which general wants to go with me?"
Zhu Linzong responded. Today was the day for the martial arts competition, so he had already prepared his outfit. Zhu Linzong put his hammers between his elbows, clasped his fists with both hands, and said:
"Marshal invites you!"
The little eunuch said: "The martial arts field is like a battlefield. We must not be polite. General Zhu, please take action."
Zhu Linzong was very powerful and the hammer was heavy. He also wanted to find some advantage on the Marshal so that the Marshal would not underestimate him in the future. Zhu Linzong swung the sledgehammer and hit the little eunuch three ways up. The little eunuch couldn't help but
Don't panic, knock it lightly, and the hammer will go empty. But any general who relies on strength to survive is always not sensitive enough. Zhu Linzong, too, used too much force with his hammers, and was pushed away by the little eunuch. Zhu Linzong didn't have time to take back the hammer.
The eunuch's spear tip had penetrated deep into his belly, and hooked Zhu Linzong's belt with an underhook. With a gentle tug, Zhu Linzong rolled his saddle and fell off his horse.
Someone counted them, and the whole process was less than two
The crowd burst into cheers again
Zhu Linzong's face turned red, he got up from the ground angrily, shouted, "The marshal is quick, I didn't see it clearly, this time it doesn't count!"
The little eunuch waved and said: "General Zhu, get up and mount your horse to fight again."
Zhu Linzong got on the horse. This time he had a good memory and did not give the little eunuch any space. He blew the wind with his hammers, hitting the human head with one blow and the horse head with the other.
Qi was like a bullfight, and he did not fight with him seriously or push him away lightly, or dodge to avoid Shihe. Zhu Linzong was already sweating profusely and panting like a cow. Zhu Linzong knew that the marshal was using a strategy of exhausting his troops. If
If he continues to fight like this, he will have to die from exhaustion. The marshal used only 10% of his strength, but he used 99% of his strength. Zhu Linzong's strong general is not a reckless general. When he has to admit defeat, he throws away his hammers, dismounts and kowtows to the ground.
explain:
"The marshal is a man of heaven. The young general is not as good as the marshal. I feel ashamed and amazed."
The young eunuch also dismounted, raised himself up with both hands and said: "The general is not an ordinary person, but there are some areas that are still lacking in experience."
Afterwards, Zhu Linzong asked for advice, and the young eunuch said: "Those competing in martial arts must not be impatient and keep a calm mind. Of course it is better to swallow it in one gulp. If you can't swallow it in one gulp, then slowly look for the opponent's flaws. The competition on the battlefield is not necessarily all about martial arts. Sometimes the brain
More important than martial arts”
Zhu Linzong suddenly realized that his martial arts had improved day by day since then. This is a story for later and I will not mention it.
The little eunuch flew on his horse again and shouted: "Which general is there to give me advice?"
The generals knew clearly that they were no match, but whoever wanted to humiliate themselves said one after another:
"The marshal is comparable to Zhao Zilong, we dare not compare him"
The little eunuch announced on the spot: Liu Jianxun will be the front vanguard, Zhu Linzong, and Mao Xingwang will be the deputy vanguards. Each general will lead his own troops and choose an auspicious day to send troops to defeat the thieves.
