"What's not allowed? It's normal for men to bleed but not shed tears. As a general who charges into battle, his life will be in danger at any time. Only those who put life and death aside and fight bravely to kill the enemy are worthy of this important task." Gao Fei said loudly.
.
Zhao Yundao: "I understand, but the sword has no eyes. If a human life is lost, the loss outweighs the gain. I think it is better to use wooden sticks and wooden swords instead of real weapons?"
Gao Fei thought for a while and felt that Zhao Yun was right. He immediately nodded and said: "Organize according to odd and even numbers, separate the two sides, and have a competition."
With that said, Gao Fei walked to the side, pulled down a big flag, and took the big flag to an open space under the ring. After walking a long way, he stopped and ordered the soldiers to plant the big flag there.
"Listen to me, today's selection will be the final. You have to do your best. As long as whoever can run here from the ring first and take off this banner, who will be the one?"
Whoever wins the military attaché selection competition will have the official position of General of Chariot and Cavalry!" Gao Fei pointed at the big flag and shouted loudly.
The contestants all took a breath when they heard Gao Fei's words. Seventy-eight of them looked at each other. This selection undoubtedly made each contestant an enemy of the other seventy-seven. Who doesn't want to win the first prize and grab the car in one fell swoop?
A high-ranking official like the Cavalry General would do it.
"You guys have a good rest first. We will distribute weapons and armor to you later." As soon as Gao Fei finished speaking, he returned to the arena and had a chair brought in. He sat there, overlooking
The entire playing field.
The soldiers began to distribute wooden swords and wooden shields to the contestants. Zhao Yun walked up to Gao Fei at this time, bowed and asked: "Your Majesty, I don't understand something..."
"If there's anything you don't understand, just say it."
"Why did His Majesty suddenly give up on the selection policy he had formulated before? Isn't it a bit too hasty to be so hasty? Also, His Majesty only set up a big flag there. Doesn't that mean that one of them and the other seventy-seven people have to fight against each other?
Are you an enemy? Although some of these people are said to have extraordinary skills, everyone is the strongest among the strongest. I am worried that none of these seventy-eight people will be able to walk under that flag in the end."
Gao Fei smiled and said: "I know it well, just wait and see the good show. By the way, who was the man named Linghu Shao just now?"
Zhao Yun immediately reported to Gao Fei: "Linghu Shao, courtesy name Uncle Kong, is from Taiyuan. His father was once the commander of Wuwan School in the Han Dynasty, and he was also considered the queen of the generals."
"There are many people from Bingzhou who have signed up this time, including more than a thousand from Taiyuan alone. It can be seen that the athletes from Bingzhou are still the same..." Gao Fei said while looking at Hao Zhao, who stood out among the crowd below the ring.
He was no stranger to this character. In the official history, Hao Zhao was once a general of the Wei State and was ordered to defend Chencang. Facing an enemy force several times his own led by Zhuge Liang, he showed no fear and instead blocked Zhuge Liang outside Chencang City.
No matter how Zhuge Liang attacks, he can easily defeat him.
This talent selection was just a situation. The well-known civil servants and generals in the late Eastern Han Dynasty were basically officials in various places. The reason why he wanted to conduct such a public selection was to prepare for the establishment of a new army in the future and to control half of the world.
It's time to expand the army.
Below the ring, Hao Zhao stood among the many players, looked around at the other seventy-seven people, and finally focused on Linghu Shao. He took the wooden sword and wooden shield that had just been issued and walked straight to Linghu Shao.
Next to him, he asked: "Brother, are you from Taiyuan?"
"Who is your brother? You're a stinking young boy, stay here for a while." Linghu Shao said impatiently.
Hao Zhao seemed not to have heard and continued: "My name is Hao Zhao, courtesy name Bodao. I am also from Taiyuan. We are from the same hometown. I think..."
"Why should I treat him if he's a fellow countryman? I've decided on the chip today." Linghu Shao shouted angrily.
Hao Zhao chuckled and said: "That's not necessarily true. Brother, let's see. In addition to me, there are seventy-six other people here. Everyone is a person with extraordinary skills. Although it is only two miles from here to Daqi, who can
If you don’t want to be a champion, you will inevitably check each other. In this way, it is equivalent to one person and others.
All of his people are enemies. What I mean is, why don't we two join forces and work together to get under the banner first? As for who can take the banner, we can each rely on our own abilities. In this way, the pressure on you and me will be reduced.
It will be greatly reduced, and we will get twice the result with half the effort. Brother Linghu, what do you think?"
Linghu Shao was not a fool, so he naturally noticed the eager gazes of others. Hearing Hao Zhao speak so quietly, he was also afraid that others would hear their plan. He did not answer immediately, but instead asked: "Even if the two of us join forces, what will happen?"
We may not be the opponents of the other seventy-six people. They will never let us pass so easily. Although your strategy is good, it is difficult to work."
Hao Zhao pondered for a moment, and seeing that Linghu Shao was confident, he asked, "What about Brother Linghu's opinion?"
Linghu Shao smiled and said: "Since they are all determined to win, they will not let anyone pass easily. Just look at it. When the game starts, they will definitely not move first, but will first deal with the people around them. This
It’s a great opportunity!”
After hearing this, Hao Zhao felt like he was enlightened and said immediately: "I have an idea. We can stand still and wait and see what happens. When they are tired, we can swarm up and rush through those people. However, there are prerequisites.
Yes, you and I must join forces. I wonder what Brother Linghu wants?"
Linghu Shao said: "That's it. But as long as I'm here, you can't take that flag away."
Hao Zhao smiled and did not answer, sitting next to Linghu Shao, his eyes always staring ahead.
On the ring, Gao Fei looked from a distance and saw Hao Zhao and Linghu Shao whispering something there, and thought to himself: "It seems that a champion will be born between the two of them."
When everyone was almost rested, Gao Fei ordered someone to blow the horn to announce the start of the game.
Before the horn sounded here, the players holding wooden swords and wooden shields over there immediately started fighting. The original groups were no longer there. Whenever they saw people, they entangled and struggled with each other, and no one could tell who was who.
, everyone fell into chaos.
No!
There were at least two people who did not participate in the battle, and those two people actually sat there motionless, watching the people fighting in front of them carefully, looking at ease.
Gao Fei saw this strange scene and took another look at Hao Zhao's information and found that Hao Zhao was from Taiyuan and the same hometown as Linghu Shao. It was not difficult to understand why the two people were crowded together.
The shouts of killing continued. Although the players used wooden swords, it would still hurt if they hit people with force.
Hao Zhao and Linghu Shao saw that the battle ahead was getting more and more intense. Those people were fighting for each other, and they actually forgot who was who and just focused on fighting.
After a while, more than a dozen players couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground.
Hao Zhao and Linghu Shao's eyes flashed. They stood up almost at the same time and looked at each other. The two of them walked side by side and shouted loudly: "Kill!"
Once the two people rushed over, there was no turning back. The wooden sword opened the way, and the wooden shield protected the whole body. The two people cooperated very well.
"boom!"
Hao Zhao and Linghu Shao suddenly launched a fierce attack and quickly rushed away from the contestants who were selected. The two of them seemed to be in a trap, taking care of each other, and rushed forward.
At this time, the seventy-six people were already exhausted. They could not withstand Hao Zhao and Linghu Shao's sudden attack. They were directly punched open and the two of them ran towards the banner.
At this time, the others realized the danger, abandoned their previous misunderstandings, and followed Hao Zhao and Linghu Shao in hot pursuit.
"If this continues, no one will be able to get the flag, and their progress must be stopped." Hao Zhao said sternly to Linghu Shao.
Linghu Shao grinned as he ran and said, "Why didn't you resist them?"
Hao Zhao didn't answer, just ran forward quickly, and soon rushed under the big flag. Just as he was about to grab it, a wooden sword flew out diagonally, directly blocking Hao Zhao's hand.
way out.
"You want to take it all for yourself?" Linghu Shao jumped in front of Hao Zhao and scolded him face to face.
"Whatever you say, I just take what I should take!" Hao Zhao said.
"Then you pass my test first!" Linghu Shaoli said confidently.
"Let's put this aside for now. After repelling the others first, we will wait for the winner with force. No matter who loses by then, at least the top two will be ours!" As soon as he finished speaking, Hao Zhao turned around hurriedly.
He looked at the chasing group of people with a stern look on his face.
Linghu Shao felt that what Hao Zhao said was reasonable, so he temporarily put aside the matters between the two of them, jumped to Hao Zhao's side, snorted coldly, and said: "I'm not here to save you, I just think what you said
What you said is just right..."
In the ring, Gao Fei and Zhao Yun were really watching. Especially Gao Fei, seeing Hao Zhao and Linghu Shao cooperating well, he said to Zhao Yun next to him: "Who do you think will win the final championship between the two of them?"
Zhao Yun frowned and said: "It's hard for me to predict this. Hao Zhao and Linghu Shao are indeed different, but they can win the championship. I am also waiting anxiously."
Gao Fei said: "Well, tell them to go down and prepare lunch. When the game is over, I will personally entertain them."
Zhao Yun said "Promise", turned around and called a few personal guards, asked them to go to the kitchen for a while, and ordered the kitchen to prepare some wine and side dishes.
In the open space below the ring, the fighting was so passionate. Hao Zhao and Linghu Shao fought side by side, using the weapons in their hands to fight against other people. Because they were recharging their energy, those people were more vulnerable to the combined attack of the two of them.
Everyone retreated, not daring to step forward again.
