Chapter Five Seventy-Four: Martial Arts Competition
Seeing Jia Rong calling her so affectionately, Zhao Yu's little heart was beating wildly. Even several people in Prince Liang's palace knew about her thoughts about Jia Rong, but Jia Rong had never told Zhao Yu
What to show, the ladies naturally don't want to share Jia Rong with one more person, and Jia Rong doesn't want to add any more wives to the mansion. Although three wives and four concubines are common in this era, he is not a stallion, and he can't take in just one beautiful one.
Inside the room.
Why didn't Jia Rong know Zhao Yu's thoughts? He was not young anymore, and he didn't want to delay Zhao Yu. He thought that in later generations, he would be just a small security guard, insignificant. When he came to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he seemed to be gone.
If you are lucky, beauties keep throwing themselves into your arms.
Casting his gaze on the court, Jia Rong said with a smile: "Congratulations to your brother this time, you will finally have a beautiful woman in your arms."
Zhao Yuyingying bowed and said, "Thank you so much, King Liang."
"I just told you that there is no need to be polite in the future. Don't imitate your brother. Just call me big brother from now on." Jia Rong's eyes did not leave the court.
After hearing these words, Zhao Yu no longer watched the competition on the field. He was secretly happy. He had interacted with several ladies in Prince Liang's palace a lot, and naturally he knew some things that ordinary people didn't know. Like Xiu'erwei.
Fu Caiyan always calls Jia Rong her eldest brother. Is Jia Rong hinting something to her? But seeing Jia Rong's expression, it was just an unintentional move. She was relieved and gradually regained her composure.
Hearing the cheers from the onlookers, Zhao Yu secretly glared at Jia Rong, knowing that he had missed a wonderful scene.
After all, Ma Yunlu is a woman. In terms of strength, she is not as good as Zhao Yun, and in terms of martial arts, she is not as good as Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun is deliberately showing mercy. Ma Yunlu is still a little exhausted after more than 20 rounds, with a pretty face flushed and panting.
Jia Rong nodded slightly. Ma Yunlu's martial arts skills are really good. Even if she joins the army, she is still very powerful. It seems that he has always ignored the role of women.
Seeing that she couldn't get any advantage from Zhao Yun's men, Ma Yunlu was anxious and eager to show off. She frowned and slid the long sword in her hand towards Zhao Yun through strange traces.
Zhao Yun was well-known in the army for his skill with both spear and sword. How could such an offensive threaten him? He didn't see any movement. He just raised the long sword in his hand slightly to neutralize Ma Yunlu's offensive.
Unexpectedly, after a fight, Ma Yunlu had retreated to the edge of the ring. After losing strength, her body immediately became a little unstable. With a cry of surprise, her body was about to fall off the ring.
The onlookers were stunned by the changes on the field.
Zhao Yun stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hand, and pulled Ma Yunlu's descending body back.
The two people on the scene, the beautiful woman nestled in the man's arms, looked very ambiguous and arousing people's imagination. In the ancient times when etiquette was strict, even women had a lot of scruples when going out. What's more, in such a public place,
There are those who praise it, there are those who exclaim, and of course there are also those who condemn it.
This kind of behavior is provoking ancient feudal etiquette. Jia Rong doesn't care so much, and quite appreciates Zhao Yun's courage to do this, even though it is unintentional.
After a moment of stagnation, Zhao Yun realized something was wrong, but he could not abandon the beauty in his arms. After righting Ma Yunlu, he walked off the ring with a red face.
This competition also made Jia Rong realize that the ordinary businessmen in Chang'an lacked spare time life. A small competition in the arena made them so excited. What if there were so many exciting competitions in later generations.
There are some rich people in Chang'an. When they are not short of money, they often think about how to enrich their spare time life. Although people in this era do not have that concept yet, Jia Rong decided to implement the first thing after becoming king, enriching their spare time.
In the lives of the common people, some activities are organized, such as running, competitions, football, relays, etc., a series of activities that allow the common people to participate. Of course, in order to further stimulate the enthusiasm of the common people, reward money is essential, and for ordinary people
It's quite rich.
His warriors finally won the beauty, and Jia Rong felt a lot relieved. In terms of talent, Zhao Yun was the best among the military generals. He was calm, strong in martial arts, and good at uniting his subordinates. With a little training, he could become a general guarding one side.
He was more than twice as powerful as Zhang Xiu, and more importantly, Zhao Yun was not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also had good literary talent. In the army, he was both civil and military.
The New Year has passed, and the city of Chang'an is filled with joy. After dinner, the people talk about the competition in the ring with great interest. The ring in the city has been demolished, but the people's passion is still undiminished.
The notice at the city gate attracted everyone's attention. Martial arts competitions were held twice a year. Winners from all over the country went to Chang'an to compete. The shortlisted candidates received generous rewards. The prize was 100,000 yuan, which was equivalent to 100,000 yuan in banknotes.
Ten thousand yuan.
One hundred thousand dollars is definitely a lot of money for ordinary people. They are not like businessmen. Many people just give their own labor and work for businessmen to get money. One hundred thousand dollars is enough for them to save for many years.
These series of edicts triggered a craze for nationwide sports. In the face of money, all rhetoric is empty. Only getting it is the most real thing. What do people lack most? I can't compete with strength and compete in martial arts. I can choose to run.
, or run a relay race, and if you accidentally win the championship, you will get a lot of money, and you can also show your face in the entire Chang'an City, so why not do it.
Not long after Jia Rong became king, a major event occurred in Jiangdong. While traveling, Sun Ce was attacked by an unknown person and shot in the face with an arrow. The arrow was coated with poison. All famous doctors were unable to do anything.
Before leaving, Sun Ce thought of his father, Jia Rong of the Xiliang Army, who was in front of Hulao Pass. In Sun Ce's understanding, without Jia Rong's guidance and promotion, there would be no Jiangdong today, so for the Xiliang Army,
He has always been in awe. Even if Jia Rong asked him to surrender to the Xiliang Army one day, he would agree without hesitation. Without personal experience, he would never understand the power of the Xiliang Army and the surrender of the people.
, to bring prosperity to the barren land, Sun Ce asked himself that he was not as good as Jia Rong. Jiangdong was rich, but Sun Ce still couldn't reach the glory of Chang'an despite his efforts. He thought that Chang'an was burned to ashes by a fire.
.
"Zhongmou, after I die, you must ask your officials how to act in everything, and don't be reckless. There are many talents in Jiangdong now. You are young, and my elder brother is very worried." Sun Ce sighed.
Sun Quan took Sun Ce's hand and said: "Brother, you are fine, you will get better. Aren't you the ones who killed so many rebels in Jiangdong? Get up."
Sun Ce looked up to the sky and sighed: "As the general said, in life, you will not take it with you if you live or die. I am very satisfied to be able to leave my name in the history books. After you take over Jiangdong, you must work hard to govern it. You must not compete with Liang."
The king is an enemy, do you understand?"
Sun Quan nodded blankly. He never thought that there would be such a day when his eldest brother suddenly let go and handed over the huge Jiangdong to himself. Could it be that the efforts of his father and his brother were going to be ruined in his own hands?
I am not as skilled as my eldest brother in martial arts. There must be many generals in the army who are dissatisfied. In terms of talent, Sun Quan is only a teenager. How can he defeat his wily generals?
"King Liang of Chang'an is my father's sworn brother. Without his help back then, my father would not have been able to successfully acquire Jiangdong, and I would not have been able to be as stable as a mountain in Jiangdong." Sun Ce said.
Sun Quan was slightly shocked after hearing this. This matter has always been kept secret in Jiangdong. Only senior generals in the army knew about it. Moreover, Sun Quan was young, so naturally no one would mention this matter to him. Sun Jian and Jia
Rong was a sworn brother, and it was like a thunderbolt from the blue that struck Sun Quan's heart. At that time, the princes attacked Dong Zhuo with great momentum, and Sun Jian was the vanguard of the princes. Could it be that his father's generation secretly colluded with the Xiliang army, which led to the Xiliang army's repeated battles?
Repeated wins.
"Don't worry, brother, I will listen to you, little brother." Sun Quan replied respectfully.
"In Jiangdong, if you are in doubt about foreign affairs, you can ask Zhou Yu, and if you are in doubt about domestic affairs, you can ask Gu Yong. These two are talented people in the world and should not be neglected." Sun Ce said in a difficult tone.
Three days later, Sun Ce died, and Sun Quan succeeded him as King of Wu. He held a funeral ceremony and buried Sun Ce with royal rites. The three armies mourned. The little overlord who had dominated Jiangdong for a while died like this, at the hands of several assassins.
The news of Sun Ce's death reached Jingzhou, which made Liu Biao really happy. In his opinion, Sun Quan was just a young boy. How could he resist the elite Jingzhou navy? When the army arrived, Sun Quan would definitely be surrounded.
Run away with tail.
Liu Biao did not miss such an opportunity and immediately summoned his generals to discuss the attack on Jiangdong.
Jingzhou launched a war, which was expected by Jiangdong generals. Except for the fact that the two sides had cooperated in the eradication of Zhou Tai's water stronghold, it seemed that they were all going to war.
In the crisis, Sun Quan listened to Sun Ce's instructions before leaving, ordered Zhou Yu to be the commander-in-chief, and led 20,000 naval troops to fight. Zhou Yu lived up to his trust and defeated the Jingzhou navy in one battle, losing thousands of soldiers and leaving him in a state of embarrassment.
Fleeed back to Jingzhou.
Zhou Yu became famous in one battle, and with Zhou Yu's support, Sun Quan's position in Jiangdong became slightly more stable.
After Jia Rong learned the news of Sun Ce's death, he sighed: "Sometimes history is difficult to change." Jia Rong considered Sun Ce's death to be a big loss. He had previously kidnapped Sun Ce to Chang'an City and taught him some lessons.
It has a profound meaning. On the one hand, Sun Ce can contain some enemies for the Xiliang army in Jiangdong. On the other hand, he and Sun Jian have a brotherly relationship and occupy the right side. Even if the Japanese army sends troops to Jiangdong in the future, there are many reasons to persuade Sun Ce.
.
The sun will not stop rising because of the death of one person. Sun Ce died, leaving only a few words in the history books at best. Life is like this. For that sentence in the history books, there may be many people working hard, and a prince
The decline of one will be accompanied by the rise of another prince.
