Chapter 217 Martial Arts Competition

Jia Xu made another suggestion at this time, asking Emperor Xian to order all princes to dismiss the troops for three years on the grounds that "many auspicious signs indicate that our Han fortune will be prosperous." In the current form, the Sun Jian's alliance army has been dispersed in name only and will definitely accept this order; and our army has been using troops continuously for many years, and it also needs rest, so it is just a good opportunity to dismiss the troops and rest.

Cao then asked Emperor Xian for this matter, and Emperor Xian naturally agreed. Cao ordered people to write an imperial edict and sent it to the princes in various places. Then, in just one month, the princes from all over the country stopped their troops and moved their troops back.

In fact, the so-called princes mainly refer to the coalition forces of Liu Bei and Liu Biao. Ma Teng, Liu Yan, Sun Jian, Han Xuan and other groups of troops were either busy dealing with the rebellious aliens, or they had great losses of troops and were unable to go to war. After losing Wancheng, Liu Bei and Liu Biao's coalition forces were determined to counterattack and gathered forces in Xinye, but they were completely unsure of Wu Fan's main army. With this imperial order, they just stopped the troops with just a legitimate order.

Three years are not long or short. Wu Fan's rear Hebei first experienced the Battle of Yuan and Cao, and then went on an expedition to Wuhuan. The loss of troops was heavy, so it was just right for this time to relieve it.

Since they wanted to stay in Wancheng, the family naturally had to take it over. Cui Yingying, Diao Chan, Ling'er, and Wu Ying moved to Wancheng from Yecheng and the family reunited again.

Another month passed, the fourth year of Jian'an, and in July 194 AD, there were great harvests across the country. At the same time, the foundation laying of Tongquetai located in Yecheng was also completed, and the next step was to officially start construction. Emperor Xian was very happy to receive this news and suggested to Cao Jinshen: Can a celebration ceremony be held for all princes to participate?

In the mood of Emperor Xian, he thought that the ministers under Cao reported the details of the auspicious signs in various places and the construction of the bronze croaker platform for himself were all proof that Cao Zhongjun was patriotic and determined to restore the Han Dynasty. Therefore, he wanted to take this opportunity to hold a national celebration ceremony to demonstrate his imperial power in time.

But no one knows what Cao thought at this time, including Wu Fan. In history, Cao had never been emperor until his death. Cao may not have a clear idea on how to deal with Emperor Xian.

After a moment of contemplation, Cao agreed to Emperor Xian's suggestion. After saying goodbye to Emperor Xian, Cao discussed with the counselors what kind of celebration ceremony was the most appropriate. In the shì that had already been in Cao's tent, Li Ru proposed that it would be better to hold a martial arts competition in the name of Emperor Xian, and all the generals under the princes could participate. Our army was full of military generals and many of them were extremely brave, so he took this opportunity to show the might of our army to the whole world.

This proposal made Cao Fen happy, and immediately ordered someone to write an edict, inform all princes in the name of Emperor Xian, and hold a national martial arts competition.

Therefore, the martial arts competition within a single force in the game turned into a national general competition by chance.

Five days later, the civil servants who came to Wancheng from Yecheng reported to Wu Fan about the news of the martial arts competition. As the governor of the Cao army and the first military general, Wu Fan naturally could not miss the event. At this time, it was still half a month before the opening of the martial arts conference. After Wu Fan received this news, he was surprised, but he naturally stepped up his martial arts practice every day.

In fact, Wu Fan's name as the "first military general" in Cao's army does not refer to martial arts, but is unmatched in terms of comprehensive abilities. If only martial arts are concerned, Wu Fan's advantage is not absolutely obvious. It is just a few of his main generals, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Hua Xiong and others. Wu Fan will have to work hard to defeat them.

Especially Lu Bu, although Wu Fan defeated Lu Bu three times in a row, by heart, these three times were luck that helped Wu Fan.

What's more, Liu Bei, Sun Jian and other princes also had many powerful generals under their command, so Wu Fan could not be blindly optimistic.

Time flowed calmly, and most of the month passed quickly, and the martial arts competition was held as scheduled

I have heard that the martial arts competition will be held today, and the restaurants and inns in Yecheng were all full of people a few days in advance. Many Yecheng residents even cleaned their wing rooms to serve as temporary accommodation, but there were many customers. They took advantage of the opportunity of the martial arts competition to make some money. As for the problem of declining public security, Yecheng Prefect Zhang Zhao was prepared for it. During this period, Yecheng's main policy was to improve public security. Therefore, although the number of foreign population suddenly increased sharply, the resulting public security problems did not occur much.

The venue for the martial arts competition is located in the center of Yecheng, in front of the base of the Tongque Platform. Even though the scale is not the last, there is no problem to say that it is unprecedented. The scale of the flags, drums, horns, and ceremonial guards are extremely grand, which makes the audience feel awe-inspiring. The "martial arts" used for martial arts competitions are as high as ten meters, with a table length of more than 100 meters, which is very spacious.

In the south of the Yanwutai is the stand, where Emperor Xian, all the princes and important officials, all sat here. In addition to the main audiences on the stands, the people around the Yanwutai were surrounded by soldiers, and the people of the cities around Yecheng who had come to see him, had already been crowded with people.

In order not to make all the princes suspicious, almost all the defenders of Yecheng retreated, leaving only 10,000 troops to maintain public security. However, the princes participating in the martial arts conference could each bring 5,000 troops, which not only cheered their respective generals, but also made them feel at ease.

There were fifteen generals participating in this martial arts conference, namely Wu Fan, Lu Bu, Hua Xiong, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Dian Wei, Zhu Chu, Xiahou Dun, Liu Bei, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Sun Jian, Gan Ning, Taishi Ci, Sun Ce, Han Xuan, Huang Zhong, Ma Teng, Pang De.

Since each force can only select eight military generals to participate, many of Wu Fan's main combatants missed the opportunity to play and could only act as audiences in the stands when they were disappointed.

As for Liu Yan, Liu Biao and other princes, because their subordinates did not have the military generals who could ascend to the stage, they had to abstain from this martial arts conference. However, abstention means not sending military generals to participate in the competition. As a prince, they still have to attend this martial arts conference celebration, becoming the main audience, sitting in the stands around Emperor Xian.

From four or five in the morning, residents of Yecheng and people from all over the world who came here came to the venue, and they were soon crowded. By 9 a.m., when all the generals participating in this martial arts competition appeared, the walls of people around the martial arts stage had stretched out 1,000 meters away.

In this way, the people behind naturally could not see the specific situation at the competition venue, so they could only ask the people in front, and the people in front asked the people in front. Asking one by one, a very interesting picture would be formed: for example, after learning that a famous general appeared, the cheers of the people seemed to have been rehearsed in advance, from front to back were like a wave.

Let’s look back at the venue. At 9:00 a.m., just as Si hour arrived, the drums and horns arranged around the venue were suddenly played at the same time. Nearly 100 flag soldiers on the high platforms around the martial arts platform rotated the golden banners representing the imperial power in their hands. These flag soldiers were selected from the best of Cao’s army. The flags in their hands were rotated like wheels. After seeing the two-man in the Northeast, you can recall the scene of turning the handkerchiefs to the camera below. They were so neat and amazing.

At the same time, the generals who participated in this martial arts competition began to enter the venue from the direction of Tongquetai, that is, in the Taipei City.

First of all, it is not someone else, but... a school official with a public face holding up the blue military flag of "Cao" in his hand. After the school official...

The first place is naturally the governor of the Cao army, Wu Fan, recognized as the number one general of the Cao army. He is wearing a silver-white Western Dragon Armor and a blue cloak. When he swings with the wind, he is elegant and elegant. Although he has no behavior, he is majestic and self-evident.

While walking, Wu Fan waved to the audience on both sides, and his face was approachable as usual, which attracted the audience to cheer loudly. The young women watched with a blushing face, while the children shouted happily, expressing the excitement of finally seeing the idol in their hearts.

The cheers of the masses were like waves, and they began to rush back from the venue. Until Wu Fan had already stepped onto the stage, several generals appeared behind him, and the cheers were only heard to the end.

Following Wu Fan, Lu Bu, who was suddenly raised by his seniority, was known as the unparalleled world. It seemed that he had already expected the result of this martial arts competition. Lu Bu was full of determination and did not look arrogant on his face as usual. Instead, he grinned and laughed at the surrounding people. However, his face was born with a fierce look, and this smile was ugly than crying, which scared many children to penetrate their parents' arms.

After Lu Bu, he was the most respected main general under Wu Fan - Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao's abilities are indisputable. Both in history and in the game, they have amazing performances. It is precisely because of this that Wu Fan repeatedly appointed Zhang Liao to lead many of his main generals to fight and occupy the other side.

However, Zhang Liao's ability is better than the overall strength. In terms of force alone, Zhang Liao's current overall strength value is 102, and he himself knows that he will be at a disadvantage in front of pure fierce generals such as Lu Bu. In the spirit of participation, Zhang Liao participated in this martial arts competition with a relatively calm attitude and did not have a strong idea of ​​competing for rankings.

After Zhang Liao, it was Wu Fan's eldest brother Hua Xiong. Hua Xiong belongs to the type of fierce generals and is very fond of martial arts. He practices day and night. At present, Hua Xiong's own martial arts value has reached 99. Wu Fan's current martial arts value is 98. With Zhan Jin Spear + 5 martial arts, the overall martial arts value has reached 103. Although this martial arts value is not very high, due to Hua Xiong's fierce general attributes, the chance of a critical strike is high, and it is not impossible to become a dark horse.

After Hua Xiong, Xu Huang was Xu Huang. Xu Huang's martial arts were not very high. In addition, the +5 force value of the big axe seemed to be set to +2 force value before. I feel sorry for Xu Huang's value, so I changed it to +5. The overall force was only 101 points. However, Xu Huang's martial arts were very good. Wu Fan had seen it several times in front of the formation. Moreover, since there were eight places, it was the best to occupy all of them, so Wu Fan asked Xu Huang to attend this martial arts competition.

Behind Xu Huang were Dian Wei and Xu Zhu. They walked side by side, their bodies were big and thick, with steel beards on their faces and a nose that could be used as needles. It was not easy to mess with. Their overall strength values ​​were 102 and 101 respectively. For purely-type generals who were replaced, such seemingly not very high strength values, but they should not be underestimated.

Xiahou Dun appeared as the last general of the Cao army. Xiahou Dun's military power was undoubtedly the lowest among the eight people, only 97 points, and he was the type of general. It should be difficult to show up in this martial arts competition. In fact, the reason why Xiahou Dun participated in this martial arts conference was recommended by brothers and brothers of Cao and other clans, and like Zhang Liao, he focused on participation. After all, he was the highest force among the Cao and Xiahou clans. For this point, he also wanted to show it on stage.

In this world where friends through literature and martial arts are successful, the victory of martial arts is naturally rewarded, but failure is not a shame.

As mentioned earlier, Xiahou Dun is a person with a cold relationship and a calm world. Wu Fan killed Guan Yu and saved Xiahou Dun's apprentice Qin Qi, making him the closest person after Cao Cao. After entering the martial arts stage, Xiahou Dun stood with Wu Fan. The two had not met for a long time, so naturally there were many topics and they had a lot of fun chatting.

At this time, after all the generals of Cao's army participated in the competition appeared, Liu Bei's army generals appeared.

First of all, the first... was naturally a school official, holding the green military flag of "Liu". After the school official, the fierce general Zhang Fei took the lead in the field.

Zhang Fei is an absolute type of general. His own force has reached 100 points of full value. With the +7 force attribute of the Zhangba Snake Spear, the overall force value is 107 points. If this guy is in charge of leading the army, a large number of people under Wu Fan can play him around, but when it comes to this one-on-one single-handed competition, there are very few people who can be his opponent.

Because Guan Yu was killed by Wu Fan, Zhang Fei was already in an enemy state. When he saw Wu Fan standing on the martial arts stage, he immediately opened his eyes wide and screamed strangely. Wu Fan smiled contemptuously at him, and then continued to chat with Xiahou Dun, ignoring him directly.

As mentioned earlier, few people can be Zhang Fei's opponent, but Wu Fan is the first of those few people.

On the other hand, Lu Bu, who was secretly plotted by Liu Bei and almost lost his life, also gritted his teeth at Zhang Fei, the third brother of Liu Bei, who had always called him a slave of the three surnames; and Wu Fan is now his precious son-in-law, and Lu Bu hated Zhang Fei to the core. While Zhang Fei was screaming at Wu Fan, although Wu Fan ignored Zhang Fei, Lu Bu glared at him. However, due to the xìng reason, Lu Bu did not scream like Zhang Fei, but secretly aroused his energy in his heart.

When Zhang Fei appeared, there were probably spectators from Xinye in the crowd. When he saw the generals of his own power, he couldn't help but cheer. He was immediately beaten by the crowd around him: Dare to applaud the people who hate us Governor Wu? He didn't even look at who they are here.

So, Zhang Fei stepped onto the martial arts stage in a silence. Fortunately, he screamed all the way and felt embarrassed.

After Zhang Fei, the second general of Liu Bei's army participated in the competition, Zhao Yun appeared.

Like Wu Fan, Zhao Yun was also wearing silver and white armor, and his handsome but resolute face made Zhao Yun look very handsome. He became the second general after Wu Fan to provoke young women to look at each other.

Wu Fan felt a little sorry for Zhao Yun's stubbornness in Liu Bei's camp. This was not only because Zhao Yun was a first-class general with outstanding abilities, but also because the two had some friendship. Although they were not deep, they also felt a sense of mutual appreciation.

However, no matter how much regret it is, Wu Fan could see that Zhao Yun was basically not likely to switch to the camp before Liu Bei died. Therefore, for Zhao Yun at this time, Wu Fan's hostility and regret were equal.

Zhao Yun also noticed Wu Fan's gaze on the stage. The two looked at each other and nodded slightly, as if they had greeted each other.

After that, Han Xuan's subordinate Huang Zhong and Ma Teng's subordinate Pang De appeared one after another. After the two appeared on the stage, the last player to appear were Sun Jian's generals.

A red "Sun" military flag was launched. After the flag-holding officer, the first military general was Sun Jian's former general: Gan Ning

In history, Sun Quan once said: Meng De had Zhang Liao, and Gan Xingba was the only one. Based on this sentence alone, it can be seen that Gan Ning played an important position in Eastern Wu and was no exaggeration to be called the number one general of Eastern Wu. In addition to being equal to Zhang Liao, Gan Ning's ability to command and wisdom was significantly lower than that of Zhang Liao, but his real strength was water battle. If the two men led their troops to fight, Zhang Liao would definitely not be Gan Ning's opponent.

This was the first time Wu Fan saw Gan Ning. He looked at it carefully for a few seconds and saw that he had a layer of ruffian spirit and was wild and unruly. His skin had become bronze because he had been soaked in the river water for years and had a green light shining under the sun. It was obvious that the water was extremely strong.

However, as far as Wu Fan knows, there is no swimming event in this martial arts competition, so Gan Ning's excellent dress is probably useless.

Gan Ning had only heard of Wu Fan and had never met him. After entering the martial arts stage, when he saw Wu Fan, who was in the center of the Cao army's military generals, Gan Ning also looked at Wu Fan up and down a few times, and then did not make any statement. He walked to the side and stood there.

Gan Ning's appearance later was the famous Eastern Wu general who Wu Fan wanted to become Yong, Taishi Ci.
