As for why, it is ancient times and troubled times after all.
There are definitely few scholars, and most people cannot afford to read, so they can only advocate force and try to protect themselves.
On the day of the audition, the arena was divided into dozens of places and screened at the same time. The competition lasted from morning to evening. Even so, it took almost three days to complete the competition.
There are a huge number of people coming to watch the game every day, but they all have to buy tickets to enter.
Just like concerts, tickets become more expensive the further you go.
For this reason, Jiang Siming made a lot of money just from the ticket money in these three days, but he didn't like it.
In three days, the audition ends and we enter the knockout rounds.
After the final elimination, there were less than a thousand people left.
Still, nearly a thousand warriors entered the finals.
Take any one of these people and they are at least centurion level.
Jiang Siming was beaming when he saw it. Before the princes could react, he had already asked Guo Jiaxunyou and others to send people to recruit them.
Sign them first and then talk.
Even though most of these people are not powerful generals, it is still very easy to be a squad leader or something.
Don't ignore these people. Together, in large numbers, they are no less effective than an unparalleled general.
The final selection is going on every day, and the number of thousands of people is decreasing every day.
In the end, only one hundred people were left and entered the finals.
Jiang Siming looked at the list and discovered that half of the hundred people were confidants of the major princes.
Yuan Shao's Yan Liang Wen Chou, Gongsun Zan's Yan Gang Tian Ji, Boss Cao's Le Jin Xu Chu, Sun Ce's Gan Ning Tai Shi Ci and himself, Ma Teng's Pang De, Ma Chao, etc.
Even Lu Bu came.
These people account for half.
The other half are free warriors.
Jiang Siming looked at the list inside and found that most of them he didn't recognize.
After all, the Three Kingdoms period has passed for a long time, and most of the famous generals have joined their respective lords, so it is difficult to see famous ones.
But it’s possible that many of these people are also geniuses who were buried because they didn’t have a chance to stand out.
Jiang Siming saw the last page and was about to close it, but unexpectedly, he saw a name at the end, Wang Yue!
Jiang Siming had heard of Wang Yue, who was known as the God of Swords.
With a long sword in his hand, killing people is like drinking water.
This man had served the imperial court during the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. Later, when the eunuchs came to power, Wang Yue was dismissed and returned to his hometown in seclusion.
Unexpectedly, it appeared this time.
Rumor has it that Wang Yue had superb swordsmanship and was capable of killing people, but he was also greedy for vanity.
This man was eager to become an official, so it was no wonder that he came to the east of the river.
Needless to say, Jiang Siming said that Guo Jia and the others were already working hard to win over him, and currently more than 20 people were willing to submit to the prime minister.
Wang Yue did not give an accurate answer for the time being. What he meant was to demonstrate his value first and then wait for the price to be sold.
The other princes moved a little slowly, but they all started without hesitation and took away the other twenty or so people inside.
Almost all the princes took part in this world's greatest martial arts tournament. Even because of this martial arts tournament, the world had a rare few days of calm and war-free days.
On the last day of the finals, all the princes were present. They sat in the VIP seats at the front and greeted the other princes without smiling.
The current situation is not as harmonious as before when the eighteen princes were fighting against Dong. Now they have long been at war with each other and have become jealous.
Like Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, their eyes are full of passion.
The generals on both sides almost started fighting, but fortunately Jiang Siming arrived at this time, so they refrained from taking action.
"My colleagues, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you all remain as charming as ever."
Jiang Siming came over with a smile and took the leader's position.
Although the other princes were a little dissatisfied, Jiang Siming was the prime minister and had a higher official position than them, so he deserved to sit at the head of the throne.
"Brother Meng De, Brother Benchu, how are you two doing these days?" Jiang Siming asked 'kindly'.
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao laughed inwardly, "My mother is selling her batches, she is a smiling tiger, I just ruined their good deeds a while ago, now I am acting like a normal person, who are I pretending to show!"
"Hahaha, Brother Siming is very thoughtful. I, Cao Cao, eat well and sleep well. I just miss the time when we fought together with Brother Siming. It was really unforgettable."
Boss Cao was very conscientious in his lies and showed no signs of holding a grudge.
However, Yuan Shao said calmly: "It would be better for me if no one comes to harass me in Jizhou."
Jiang Siming pretended not to understand, but pretended to be surprised and asked: "Oh? Anyone else dares to attack Brother Benchu's Jizhou? Who is so bold?"
Yuan Shao was furious, glanced at Jiang Siming, and finally did not speak, but just laughed.
"Okay, let's not talk about the war today. Today we will only watch the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament. I will first declare that whoever can win the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament will be given a generous gift by me."
After Jiang Siming finished speaking, he saw that the princes were not interested, because they knew that Jiang Siming was more powerful than Lu Bu, and if he participated, he would definitely not be ranked first among them.
Therefore, Jiang Siming's generous gift is equivalent to giving it to himself, and it is said to be in vain.
Jiang Siming seemed to read their thoughts and said with a smile: "The truth is not involved."
He really doesn't want to participate. It's so embarrassing for a Nascent Soul Stage monk to compete with these generals.
Having said that, everyone is excited. If Jiang Siming doesn't join the war? Then doesn't there be hope for the first place?
Lu Bu was the first to burst into laughter, and he held his hands towards Jiang Siming and said proudly: "Then Lu Bu would like to thank the Prime Minister for the kindness of the gift."
Lu Bu's arrogance made other generals very unhappy, and they had to defeat him in the game soon!
After finishing speaking, Jiang Siming ordered the martial arts competition to begin!
One hundred people drew lots to randomly decide their opponents. There was almost no suspense. Those good generals whom Jiang Siming was familiar with won.
After a morning of competition, the top twenty have been announced.
It was no surprise that they were all the confidants and favorite generals of the princes, and Wang Yue also made it into the top twenty.
Jiang Siming's men Dian Wei, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Zhao Yun all entered the top twenty.
Gao Lan, Wei Yan and the others were slightly inferior in terms of force value, and were dropped from the top thirty or so.
Cao Cao Lejin and Xu Zhu entered the top twenty, and Yuan Shao's Yan Liang, Wen Chou also entered.
Gongsun Zan was the most humiliated because his two favorite generals were eliminated even though they were only ranked outside the fifty.
Seeing Zhao Yun enter the top twenty, Gongsun Zan regretted it so much. How could he not regret giving away a good general?
Ma Teng's side, Ma Chao and Pang De, both scored, which made Ma Teng very proud.
And Jiang Siming's four fierce generals all entered the top twenty, which shocked all the princes.
I didn't expect that Jiang Siming would have so many strong generals under his command. This is not good news.
The top twenty are announced, and then comes the semi-finals.
There was a box on the ring with identical cards inside. Twenty generals went over to draw lots, and whoever was their opponent would be beaten.
