As soon as this order came out, some people were really eager to try. Xun Jian, the captain of the garrison cavalry, and Xu Chu, the infantry captain, immediately accepted the challenge and wanted to compete. Now, there were four captains competing for it, and only the captain Changshui Du Tao weighed the strength of himself and the other four people, but did not speak.
Shi Lian, the captain of the Yue Cavalry School, secretly let out a breath. One less person would always increase his chances of winning.
Infantry captain Xu Chu laughed loudly and said, "Brother Du, you are smart! Your Changshui camp is full of Hu knight soldiers, so the three of them won't be able to get along with each other when they leave, right? You should be more knowledgeable."
Du Tao, the captain of Changshui School, also responded with a smile: "That's right! I, Lao Du, know how to recognize people, but some people's eyes are red! This is an infantry battalion, but it insists on competing with others for knights. Isn't it ignorant?"
"Eh? Are you talking about me, Lao Xu? Why do I sound unhappy? Lao Du, if you feel itchy, you might as well give it a try, or you won't be able to give them an advantage!" Xu Chu smiled and encouraged Du Tao again.
Xun Jian, the commander of the Tun Cavalry School on the side, also felt that Du Xiaowei's words were reasonable, and advised Xu Chu: "Brother Xu, what Du Xiaowei said is reasonable. I think you should stop making noises." He leaned closer and said, " Do you know why these three brothers have the same surname of Wu? Let me give you a solid background. In the end, these three brothers will definitely choose to join our Tunqi camp."
Xu Chu blinked and said loudly: "Why, why am I, Old Xu, just making noise! Aren't our infantry battalions all made up of knights? Can't we have such outstanding knights joining us? Oh, why, I, Old Xu, are just making noise!" I still don’t accept it, what’s wrong with the surname Wu? Isn’t the surname Wu the Dance Queen’s... Huh? Oh... I understand, Brother Xun, it turns out these three brothers are yours..."
Xun Jian glanced at Xu Chu, obviously blaming him for being so slow, as if he just knew the details.
Seeing this, Xu Chu became even more competitive. He spat into his palm and said loudly: "Hey - I don't believe it! In this case, brother Xun, don't blame me for being rude. Xu Chu, I'm going to take action!" Then he shouted to his men to prepare their horses and was about to leave the competition.
Xun Jian was naturally familiar with Xu Chu's temperament, so he didn't say much at the moment and shouted to prepare his horse before heading to the field.
At this time, four of the five schools of the Northern Army gathered on the school field to prepare for a competition for the three Wu Zan brothers.
Everyone knows that there are four great noble families in Beijing, namely: the Shi family headed by Empress Dowager Shi and Weiwei Shi Jian, and the Shi family headed by Guanglu Xun Du Shi, the legitimate son of Du Guiren, the mother-concubine of the current Emperor Xiaocheng. The Du clan includes the Li clan headed by General Li Gu, the father of the late Empress Xiaoren, and Zhijinwu Li Tang, the brother of Empress Xiaoren, and the Xun clan headed by Taiwei Gong Xunfang and Chengmen School Lieutenant Xunbin. These are The first three of the four nobles represent the current Queen Mother, the current Emperor Xiaocheng's maternal family, and the current Emperor Xiaocheng's wife's family. Only the Xun family, a family of imperial guards who have always been low-key and loyal, were selected among them.
The four captains in the fifth battalion of the Northern Army respectively represent these four noble families, namely: Du Tao, the captain of Changshui, is the direct son of Guangluxun Du Shi, and Shi Lian, the captain of Yueqi, is the eldest son of Shi Jian, the captain of the guard. , Shesheng Colonel Li Jun is the legitimate son of Jinwu Li Tang, and Tunqi Colonel Xunjian is the legitimate son of City Gate Colonel Xun Bin. Among the five schools of the Northern Army, only Infantry Colonel Xu Chu is from a good family.
At this time, among the four schools competing in the competition, there were three distinguished families - Shi Lian, the captain of the Yue Cavalry School, Li Jun, the shooting school captain, and Xun Jian, the commander of the Tun Cavalry School. But only Xu Chu, the infantry school captain, was fearless.
, boldly joined in the battle to steal people.
However, among the four schools, Yueqi Colonel Shi Lian and Shesheng Colonel Li Jun are related by marriage. In terms of seniority, Li Jun should address Shi Lian as his uncle. This is because Shi Lian is married to Li, who is also the general Li Gu.
His eldest daughter, the eldest sister of the late Empress Xiaoren, and Li Jun was the son of Li Tang. Li Tang, together with Empress Xiaoren and Shi Lian's wife Li, all called General Li Gu their father.
, the three of them are actually biological brothers and sisters.
Therefore, the quarrel between the uncle and the nephew got so loud that they even started to fight, but no one stopped them. Not only did no one stop them, the remaining captains still wanted to watch the show, until the sixth prince
His Highness really couldn't stand it, so he invited several captains to stop the competition between the two.
Shi Lian glared at Li Jun fiercely, meaning: It's good now, there are two more competitors! It's better to take a step back and divide the three brothers!
Li Jun glared back unconvinced and muttered: "...My uncle knows how to fight with his nephew. If he listened to my nephew's suggestion just now, he would only give me the dance Zan. My uncle would have the other two brothers."
, wouldn’t it be better than the current situation?”
"Stop talking nonsense! Why didn't you say that you would give up the Wu Zan to your uncle, and the other two brothers would belong to your Shengsheng camp? Now what's the use of talking about it after the fact!" Shi Lian actually regretted it even more in his heart, as he was his uncle.
, if Wu Zan had been given away, the trouble would not have reached such an extent. His Highness the Sixth Prince just picked up the joke and didn't say it, and even created two more opponents out of thin air!
Shi Lian glared at Li Jun again and murmured: "... Now Xunjian is no longer at a disadvantage!"
In the five schools of the Northern Army, everyone has a strong point in martial arts. For example, Li Jun, the archery school captain, is good at riding, Xu Chu, the infantry school captain, has excellent physical strength, Shi Lian, the Yue cavalry school captain, has outstanding shooting skills, and Du Tao, the Changshui school captain
He was good at swordsmanship and Cuju, but the one with the best overall kung fu was Xun Jian, the captain of the Tun Cavalry School among the five.
Therefore, Shi Lian was able to take advantage of Xunjian again by saying this. It means that in the competition between four people, the winner in the end must be Xunjian.
But since His Highness the Sixth Prince has made a proposal, how can the several captains show their timidity and refuse to fight? Moreover, the several captains are optimistic about the three brothers, and they all have the secret intention of taking them as their own and integrating them into the camp.
.Now the proposal of the Sixth Prince was fair and reasonable, so several people dressed up and left the field to compete.
The content of the competition is naturally based on riding and archery, but the art of archery is based on the one who hits the most arrows while galloping, and the winner is the art of riding, where the horse holds a weapon in hand and fights in pairs.
The winner wins.
Soon, the results of the shooting came out. Shi Lian, the captain of the Yue Cavalry School, did his part and came out on top, followed by Xun Jian, and Li Jun and Xu Chu were neck and neck.
When it came to riding, Xun Jian was the best, followed by Li Jun, and Shi Lian and Xu Chu were evenly matched.
Taken together, Xunjian wins. In this way, according to the previously agreed agreement, all three Wu Zan should be included in Xunjian's riding camp. But just as Wu Zan and three others were preparing to celebrate, the infantry captain Xu
Chu, however, gave up and asked the Sixth Prince on the high platform to try other martial arts competitions, such as corner fighting, hand fighting, distance fighting, etc.
In fact, Xu Chu's meaning is very obvious. The reason why his grades are at the bottom is because he cannot use his strengths.
The Sixth Prince was obviously interested. After agreeing with the plan, he proposed that his subordinates also participate in the competition, but the subjects were changed to crossbow shooting and horseback fighting.
At this time, there was a commotion in and around the venue. Everyone was talking quietly. It turned out that His Highness the Sixth Prince was also optimistic about the three brothers. (To be continued)
