Lu Bu also sensed the danger, and while continuing to ride his horse towards Hongsi, he fell backwards and swept away with his halberd.
Halberd versus lance.
A dull sound sounded.
The fire is shining!
Almost all civil and military officials stood up.
Everyone around the square exclaimed.
The one who was attacking Lu Bu was Ma Chao!
Ma Chao had fought against Lu Bu before in Tongguan, and the fight lasted more than a hundred rounds, with no winner or loser.
Later, Lu Bu realized that he was getting old, so he did not accept the challenge again.
Ma Chao always kept this in mind.
Now that he had the opportunity, how could he let it go?
After fighting Ma Chao for a round, Lu Bu's horse galloped directly past the red silk.
Lu Bu missed the opportunity to pick up the red silk on the ground.
When he turned around and found that it was Ma Chao, Lu Bu was furious. The horse under him circled the square for a small half circle, turned around, and Lu Bu held a halberd in his hand and stabbed Ma Chao.
Ma Chao chuckled and stabbed the opponent with the spear in his hand.
The tip of the needle is facing the wheat awn.
The halberd and the spear stabbed together with all their strength, and the two men's figures were raised backwards.
The tip of the halberd and the blade of the spear grazed the faces of Ma Chao and Lu Bu respectively.
Exclamations instantly filled the entire square.
Beside Lu Yi, Lu Qiling and Liu Yu both held their hands on their chests.
Among the civil and military officials, Ma Yunlu's face turned pale.
In the end, both Lu Bu and Ma Chao had a close call.
Seeing that Lu Bu couldn't take down Ma Chao for a while, Gao Shun let out a sigh, rushed forward with his sword, and said, "General Lu, I'm here to help you!"
In the blue group, Pang De rode up to catch up and sneered: "Who doesn't have a few brothers?"
Seeing this, Zhang Liao raised his gun and went to kill him.
Huang Zhong and Wenpin looked at each other, and they both rode their horses to attack Zhang Liao.
Taishi Ci laughed loudly and rode up to meet Wenpin.
The entire square has become a mess!
There were sounds of fighting everywhere.
The war horses kicked up the dust in the entire square.
There are almost no people in sight!
Only from time to time I could see the light of fire shining in the dust.
Upon seeing this, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Song Qian in the red group nodded to each other and rushed towards the red silk.
Zhu Zhi, Han Dang and Chen Wu, who were the last in the blue group, were not far behind and stepped forward.
At this moment, two columns of soldiers poured into the outermost edge of the square, carrying wooden barrels filled with water.
They poured water into the dust one after another.
The square that was originally covered in dust quickly became clear.
The generals of both red and blue groups stopped attacking.
They were all drowned.
Everyone froze in place.
There is only one place where the fighting is still going on!
The crashing sounds continued.
The fire kept sputtering.
In the north corner of the square, six generals from the red group, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Tai Shi Ci, stood in the middle on their war horses.
Around them, Ma Chao, Liu Bei, Pang De, Huang Zhong, Tian Yu, and Wenpin surrounded them!
The six people kept changing their positions and attacking the six people in the encirclement.
As for the red silk, it was currently in the hands of the six people surrounding the circle, and the hands were constantly changing.
Whoever the red silk falls into will be flanked by two or three people!
Everyone stood up.
Including Lu Yi.
Everyone's breathing stopped, and everyone stared at the battle with their eyes wide open.
The fighting continued until noon.
The two sides have not decided the winner yet!
The red silk was still in the hands of Lu Bu's six men who surrounded him.
Lu Yi looked up at the sun above his head and signaled the officials to ring gold, thus ending today's martial arts competition.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
When Zhang Xiu was attacked by Pang De and Tian Yu at the same time and had to throw the red silk at Zhao Yun, a feather arrow suddenly shot out and shot the red silk away!
It's Huang Zhong!
Hong Silk was shot directly out of the encirclement by Huang Zhong's feather arrow, and was about to fall towards Ma Chao outside the encirclement.
Ma Chao stretched out his hand to pick up the red silk.
Two feather arrows shot out at the same time, hitting the red silk!
The red silk flew out again from the sky where Ma Chao stretched out his hand!
Ma Chao and others will catch up.
The golden sound sounded.
Everyone in the square let out a disappointed sigh.
Just a little bit different!
Ma Chao turned around bitterly as he watched the red silk fly out and be nailed to the ground.
I saw Lu Bu and Taishi Ci holding curved bows and looking over.
Seeing this, Lu Yi smiled and said, "Okay, generals from both groups, the martial arts competition is over today."
"There is no victory or defeat!"
"Everything went well today."
"As a reward, let's increase it."
"The ten people with the best performance from both groups will each receive a weapon made of hundreds of steel and a pair of special armor!"
All the generals dismounted from their horses and saluted: "Thank you, King Wu!"
Afterwards, Lu Yi organized civil and military officials and people to select the twenty best generals in the competition.
They are: Lu Bu, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Tai Shi Ci, Liu Bei, Pang De, Huang Zhong, Tian Yu, Wenpin, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Hu Cheer, Tao Shang, Wei Yan, Huo Jun , Deng Dang and Lu Meng.
Gan Ning, Ling Tong, Xu Sheng and Zhou Tai were rated the worst because they were private enemies in the tournament.
After the martial arts tournament, Lu Yi took everyone back to the Wu County Prince's Mansion.
Lu Tao, the steward of the Lu family, had already prepared a banquet at the palace.
Lu Yi and all the civil and military officials celebrated at the palace.
It wasn't until late at night that everyone dispersed.
Lu Yi was drunk for the first time since he traveled through time.
The completion of Nantian Gate today and the scene of the martial arts competition made him very proud.
Over the years, we have finally conquered such a huge empire and gathered so many fierce generals.
At the beginning of time travel, he didn't even dare to dream like this.
He was carried back by Nangong Yan.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that Lu Yi woke up from his drunken state.
When he woke up, he felt a splitting headache.
Thinking of what he had said before, the martial arts tournament would be held the next day to decide on the next battle target, Lu Yi hurried to the palace.
Zhuge Liang saw this and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, are you awake?"
Lu Yi rubbed his head that was aching from his hangover, and said with a smile, "Aren't all the ministers here today?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "The meeting is over!"
Lu Yi: "."
Zhuge Liang took out a regular scroll from the desk, handed it to Lu Yi and said, "Everyone came here early in the morning."
"Because brother-in-law, you are still hungover and will definitely be anxious when you wake up, so everyone continued the meeting on their own."
"Brother Xun, Buyi, and Deng Zhi and I recorded all the contents of the meeting. I just finished sorting it out and am going to send it to the Lu family for you to see!"
"Brother-in-law, please read the minutes of this meeting and then make a decision!"
Lu Yi did not take the scroll.
After pouring a cup of hot tea and taking a sip, Lu Yi rubbed his painful head and said, "Just tell me, what plans have everyone discussed?"
Zhuge Liang said: "The chariot general Zhu Zhi and the general, led by the general, occupy 40%. They agree to divide the troops into two places and attack Yizhou and Cao Cao at the same time."
"On the Yizhou side, the Fourth Army Corps, led by the general, entered Yizhou from the Public Security Bureau."
"On Cao Cao's side, the Jingzhou Army, led by General Chariot and Cavalry, enters from Yong'an and goes directly north."
"The general's fourth army is responsible for taking Yizhou."
"The Jingzhou Army of General Chariot and Cavalry is responsible for capturing Cao Cao."
"Led by Taifu Chen Gong, Taiwei Jia Xu, Shangshu Ling Chen Deng, Right Prime Minister Gu Yong, Lang Zhongling Liu Ye, Hussar General Tai Shici, Wei General Zhao Yun, and Fujun General Wen Pin, they accounted for 40% and agreed with Jingzhou The army entered Yizhou from Yong'an to intercept Cao Cao, not only to prevent Cao Cao from continuing to massacre local people, but also to defeat Cao Cao."
"Here, use all your strength to fight a beautiful battle to shock Cao Cao and Yizhou, letting them see the power of our Wu Kingdom."
"Then, send an eloquent person into Yizhou and persuade Yizhou to surrender."
"Just in case, we will send a small team to lurk into Yizhou and lobby those people with lofty ideals who are willing to submit to us, promising high-ranking officials and generous salaries."
"At the same time, let the Fourth Army Corps led by the general reorganize their troops and prepare to go out at any time."
"If Yizhou is willing to surrender, the general's fourth army will march directly to Jiaozhou and capture Jiaozhou."
"If Yizhou is still unwilling to surrender, the Jingzhou Army will capture Mianzhu and Guanghan, send heavy troops to guard Mianzhu Pass and Langzhong Pass to prevent Cao Cao from continuing southward, and then, together with the Fourth Army Corps led by the general, attack Yizhou from the north to the south as quickly as possible Take Yizhou, and then look at the situation in Zhao, and decide whether to take Cao Cao or Zhao."
"Led by Zongzheng Zhang Zhao and Yushi Yan Xiang, they accounted for 10% and agreed to go north to capture Luoyang, Chang'an, Chenliu, Puyang and other places before making other plans."
"Other people have various suggestions, accounting for about 10%."
"However, I basically don't agree with attacking Zhao."
"According to reliable information, after Yuan Shao's death, his three sons fought for the throne."
"Everyone believes that we should first sit back and watch the chaos in Zhao, and then we can plan from it."
Lu Yi then took the scroll from Zhuge Liang and glanced at it.
The content is complex.
However, it is roughly the same as what Zhuge Liang said.
Lu Yi was silent for a long time and then said: "Inform the civil and military officials to choose the second strategy. Tomorrow morning, everyone will gather in the palace hall again to discuss the dispatch of troops."
"Tell them that there are not many opportunities to make meritorious deeds, so they should all work hard and fight a good fight."
"The positions of the thirty-six heroes of Nantianmen will be determined after taking Yizhou, Cao Cao and Zhao."
"If you want to be famous forever, work harder."
"Except for this opportunity, even if there is a chance to become king in the future, I will never have the opportunity to join the Thirty-Six Heroes of Nantianmen."
Zhuge Liang responded, but did not leave.
Lu Yi turned around in confusion and said, "What's wrong?"
Zhuge Liang murmured for a while, then hesitated and said: "Brother-in-law, I, I also want to go out and try this time."
Lu Yi: "Isn't it good to be in Wu County? Take care of logistics and help with some government affairs."
Zhuge Liang took a few deep breaths and said, "Although, even though what I say is not very appropriate, I, I am not greedy for merit."
"But, I also want to enter Nantianmen."
"Yesterday, Brother Xun and I discussed it, and we both agreed that if you don't go out and make meritorious deeds, if you stay in the palace, you may be a high-ranking official and get a good salary in the future, but you won't be able to squeeze into the Nantianmen."
