Chapter 223: There Are No Strong Players in the Central Plains Rivers and Lakes
Chapter 223 There is no strong opponent in the world of Central Plains
The joy and laughter of the New Year have passed, and the great cause has arrived in eight years.
One million Sui troops gathered on the front line of Youzhou, and three million laborers transported supplies and grain. More and more people died due to the cold weather and were injured or killed due to various reasons.
Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty did not care and was eager to give Goguryeo a "big gift".
It has to be said that the founding emperor's prosperous era created by Yang Guang's father, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian, was truly extremely rich.
Despite being so tormented by Yang Guang, the situation in the Great Sui Dynasty remained basically stable.
Even if several rebels, including Wagang and others, raised their flags, their momentum was strictly limited and did not form a prairie fire.
Regardless of the number of rebel armies, which can easily number in the tens of thousands or tens of thousands of people, they are all a mob. Once the government takes action and dispatches well-trained local government troops, even a few rebel armies may not be able to withstand it.
Unlike several rebels in Lu who rose up together and still made a lot of noise, the Wagang side was much quieter.
Recently, I don’t know what’s going on. Whether it’s in rural villages or urban wine shops, many people are talking about the Three Kingdoms.
Four hundred years before the Sui Dynasty were the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and before the Southern and Northern Dynasties were the Three Kingdoms and Two Jin eras.
Therefore, many rumors about the Three Kingdoms era have always been circulated.
Only this time, the sudden rise of the Three Kingdoms style did not talk about the monarchs of the Three Kingdoms, nor the methods of the top advisers, but mainly focused on the generals of the Three Kingdoms.
What about the first general of the Three Kingdoms: Wenhou Lu Bu, Henghou Zhang Fei, Han Shoutinghou Guan Yu, etc.
Their deeds were spread by everyone with noses and eyes.
Storylines such as three heroes fighting Lu Bu, riding a thousand miles alone, the battle on Changban Slope, and Zilong rescuing his young master attracted all the listeners to be fascinated and immersed in it.
Although the romance elements in it are quite different from the real history, which has made some Confucian leaders quite unhappy, but who cares?
Romance stories are more interesting and interesting than dry official histories.
Especially the battle between generals, each majestic scene, really made the listener's blood boil, and he wished he had been born in that era.
Not to mention ordinary people like it, even people in the world also like it, and general disciples also like it. This is the main reason why the style of the Three Kingdoms spread rapidly.
It is the off-time for farming, and the weather is cold, so a group of idle people gathered together. Before, they might have been discussing all kinds of nonsense, but now they are mostly discussing the story of the heroes of the Three Kingdoms.
In the town's wine shops, even in Huajie and Liuxiang, there are many scenes of talking about the generals of the Three Kingdoms, which is extremely heated.
Infected by the atmosphere, some powerful young men from aristocratic families, as well as sword-wielding heroes from all corners of the country, all joined in and had a good time.
Slowly, I don’t know where it started, but they started to argue about the strength ranking of the Three Kingdoms generals. The heated discussion was definitely beyond imagination.
Think about it, even in later generations, there are different opinions on the ranking of the heroes of the Three Kingdoms, not to mention that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is now being spread in fragments.
There was simply an uproar, and no matter whether it was the common people at the bottom, traffickers and lackeys, or the rich and officials with a small status, or the children of powerful families, or even the children of generals and officials, they couldn't help but get involved.
What about one Lu, two Zhao, three Dianwei, one Lu, two Dian, three Ma Chao, etc. Anyway, there are all kinds of competitions, and sometimes the disputes are so fierce that they start fighting directly.
The sudden rise of the Three Kingdoms trend has left some forces feeling baffled. They don't understand what is going on. Is it guided by forces or is it a natural phenomenon?
No matter how you look at it, those mature romance storylines all seem to be deliberately done by powerful people.
However, even if the Three Kingdoms trend arises, I don't see any power that can get any big benefits from it.
It was because of the exciting and passionate story of the novel that the playboy in the family became interested in martial arts training, which was an unexpected surprise.
In such a heated atmosphere, a theory suddenly emerged.
The Three Kingdoms can be said to be the era of military generals. The famous knight-errants in the Han Dynasty were almost suppressed and disappeared in front of the famous generals.
Inferring from this, our generals in the Sui Dynasty were also terrifyingly powerful in martial arts, capable of suppressing all the knights and knights?
The matter involved familiar figures, and the topic exploded immediately.
The powerful generals of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty were indeed quite legendary.
For example, Shi Wansui single-handedly dared to kill dozens of Turkic masters in front of hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops, and even once scared the Turkic troops to run away.
Yang Su, for example, is also a great warrior on the battlefield, and his strength is quite astonishing.
Of course, the most talked about are these deceased Sui generals.
As for the generals of the Sui Dynasty who are still alive, I don’t know whether it is out of taboo or for some other reason. At most, they only mention a few things and basically won’t talk about them in depth.
However, some people in the world do not agree with the statement that military commanders are powerful and can suppress everything.
Right now, the masters in the arena are quite powerful.
Among the three great masters, the eight masters of the Demon Sect, the strong men of the Buddhist Sect, and the hidden Taoist of the Tao Sect, which one is the easy one?
Some people in the martial arts world asserted that although the generals of the Sui Dynasty were powerful, few could defeat these top warriors in the martial arts world.
Such a statement naturally aroused dissatisfaction among the generals' children, and even the powerful children from the aristocratic families also followed suit, fearing that the world would not be in chaos.
However, there are more and more warriors in the martial arts world with such thoughts, as if the top masters in the martial arts world have completely surpassed the generals at this time.
Such rhetoric naturally aroused dissatisfaction and indignation among many strong men in the military.
If the main force of the Sui army and a group of famous generals were not present on the Liaodong battlefield at this time, I am afraid it would have caused a commotion.
At this moment, some stupid person in the world actually threatened to say that he was a master from the eight gangs and ten guilds and was stronger than the generals in the army, which immediately caused an uproar.
No one else has mentioned it, but Shan Xiongxin, who is in the Wagang Army, has been in a bad mood recently.
He was also a participant in the Three Kingdoms trend before. He also believed that the generals during the Three Kingdoms period were powerful and intended to imitate them.
How can it be accepted that the masters of Jianghu gangs actually surpassed the generals in the army?
On this day, I came to Wu Dong's camp with my friend Xu Shiji. Seeing no outsiders, I couldn't help but complain: "If it weren't for military affairs, Shan would have to be a military general to seek advice from those powerful martial arts masters!"
When he spoke, he was very emotional and failed to control his strength. He directly crushed the wine glass in his hand into pieces, which shows how agitated he was.
"What's there to be angry about? You have to fight to know who is more powerful, right?"
Wu Dong said amusedly: "If martial arts masters are so powerful, why is it that in this world, military generals are still the mainstream, instead of martial arts masters being the main force to stabilize the world's situation?"
"What Leader Wu said is good, but I just feel unhappy in my heart!"
Shan Xiongxin looked gloomy, looked at Wu Dong and asked curiously: "Aren't you angry, Leader Wu?"
"What are you doing with anger?"
Wu Dong said with a smile: "I don't even know how many masters there are in the world, what factions they belong to, and where they are. How can I do this?"
As he spoke, he clenched his hands into fists, and the palm bones crackled for a while. He chuckled and said, "If it is possible, I would like to challenge the martial arts masters in the Central Plains!"
"By the way, are there any powerful martial arts masters in the Central Plains?"
"this……"
Shan Xiongxin was speechless for a moment and couldn't help but look at Xu Shiji for help.
Xu Shiji thought for a while and slowly selected the masters from the Central Plains region that he knew based on Wu Dong's demonstrated strength. He really didn't realize that there were any that could be justified.
Now, he was a little embarrassed...
Soon, another rumor leaked out, saying that there were no masters in the Central Plains!
According to the rumors, a few famous martial arts heroes from the Central Plains were randomly selected, their martial arts and achievements were listed, and the final conclusion was drawn: They were all just first-rate beings in the martial arts world, and could not be considered the real top experts!
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
Rumors like this kind of map cannon can easily cause people in the world to attack.
There are a lot of things to say, but all in all they mean the same thing: the owner of the rumor is Silly Que. How could there be no top powerhouses in the Central Plains?
Then he brought out all the famous celebrities in the world to show off.
However, the owner who spoke out those rumors was not a good person either. He directly mocked them. Is there any difference in strength and performance between these so-called celebrities in the world and those he had previously selected as representatives?
The leaders and elders of the Yellow River Gang, the leader of the Qingshuang Sect, etc. are all just top-notch beings in the world.
Such a guy can overwhelm the mighty generals in the army, that's not what the joke says!
A group of people in the Jianghu who were closely following various rumors suddenly realized that they were actually the mouthpieces of the generals in the army. Even if they continued to whitewash the power of the generals in the army, their strength was just that, and they could not compare with the first-rate Jianghu.
Such rhetoric has implicated the families of many generals in the army.
Damn, what nonsense are you talking about? The generals in the army are not as skilled as the first-class ones in the world. How is it possible?
Do you really think that the strength of the fierce generals in the army is just a boast?
At this moment, the person who kept spreading the rumors got involved and said that it is not easy for heroes in the world to change the topic. If you want to refute, you have to name the top martial arts warriors in the Central Plains instead of
First class existence.
Now, the people in the Jianghu in the Central Plains area are very angry. Don't look down on people.
It's just that the names they mentioned before are already the most outstanding characters in the Central Plains world. If you want to find people who are more powerful than them, it's not that they don't exist. It's just that it's a bit embarrassing to tell the identities of these beings.
However, they never expected that the rumored master would be so shameless that he would directly create a combat power list of the Central Plains Jianghu, and then slap the entire Central Plains Jianghu in the face. That is called cruel...
