He was not proficient in martial arts and his body was already old. After being overtaken by Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong tried his best to resist, but there was nothing he could do...
Zhang Zhao's neck was pinched, and Zhang Hong could only keep struggling, scratching and pulling on his face and body. But as time passed, Zhang Hong's resistance, which became increasingly pale, gradually weakened, until he completely lost it. perception.
Although Zhang Hong had lost consciousness, the ferocious-looking Zhang Zhao still refused to let go of his hands strangling his neck until Xiang Ji's voice came from behind.
"Hey, it's okay, old man, I can't tell you're still a practicing master.
Okay, no need to bow, just go back and change clothes, and come directly to the government office to work tomorrow."
Xiang Ji turned around to the main hall again and saw a miserable old man at the foot of the stairs. His long gown had been torn into a floral skirt, and there were scratch marks on his face. It was not easy...
Zhang Zhaoben was still panting at the foot of the stairs. When he suddenly heard Xiang Ji's words, he was overjoyed.
You know, what he fears most is that Xiang Ji wants to kill the two of them, and letting them fight will only kill the two of them.
However, for the sake of an unexpected opportunity, Zhang Zhao chose to meet his old friend regardless of his old arms and legs that were nearly fifty years old.
Now it seems that this person is worthy of being a descendant of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu. He indeed has the style of his ancestors, and those who do things right must do what they say.
Even after this experience, Zhang Zhao also understood that he was completely tied to Xiang Ji's chariot and could not be tolerated in the world.
But, is that important? It seems that I was originally planning to apply for service.
The previous two pictures have considered the general trend of the world for a long time.
As a Guangling person, it is natural to choose the nearby princes and powers that are most beneficial to the development of the family.
But who is nearby?
Yangzhou Yuan Shu? Haha, although the two of them have never met Yuan Shu, they have heard a lot about him. This guy is a tough-tempered person who bullies mountain bandits and grass bandits, but is willing to fight for hegemony? Er Zhang really looks down on him.
Then there are the several governors of Jiangdong, Liu Yao? Yan Baihu? Or Wang Lang?
Just kidding, if you tell them, Er Zhang would probably rather stay at home.
I had heard before that Sun Ce, the eldest son of Sun Jian who died of serious injuries in Hulao, was known as the Little Overlord. He had gathered Sun Jian's old troops and seemed to be planning to take action in Jiangdong.
Unfortunately, the world situation is changing rapidly, and Er Zhang has not seen the little overlord's actions for a long time, so naturally he cannot consider them.
The final choice was naturally Xiang Ji.
There is nothing to say about this. The troops are absolutely strong. Looking at the troops assembled in Xuzhou now, they may be able to number one hundred thousand.
At that time, this could already be regarded as an extremely powerful force.
Moreover, Xiang Ji himself was also the most famous general in the world, and he had many generals accompanying him.
What's more, who is Xiang Ji's ancestor? Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu! That's not some bullshit little overlord, he's a real overlord!
Xuzhou, Yangzhou, and Jiangdong are all the hometowns of the Chu Kingdom!
In terms of nature, Xiang Ji's starting point is higher than that of other princes.
Of course, the most important thing is that Xiang Ji has just started his career and has no shortage of generals and soldiers. However, he can really take action against civil servants who can guard one side. This gives Er Zhang endless opportunities.
So, there is no choice.
The two of them really devoted themselves to Xiang Ji and wanted to establish a legacy that would benefit future generations.
It's just that Xiang Ji's resistance to the clan was indeed beyond the two's expectations, and that's why there was such a fight between the old men.
Fortunately, as a winner, Zhang Zhao has no dissatisfaction, only endless prospects for the future.
Xiang Ji was very satisfied with Zhang Zhao's certificate of surrender. He was a real master of internal affairs.
From now on, I don’t have to worry about these damn livelihood logistics.
Loyalty to Zhang Zhao?
Haha, after such an experience, I am afraid that no one will betray Xiang Ji and Zhang Zhao. Just kidding, in order to survive and strangle an old friend for many years, except Xiang Ji, who would dare to use it?
Instructing the guards to drag Zhang Hong's body away, Xiang Ji gave the order to Zhou Cang outside the palace.
"Zhou Cang, bring a team of soldiers and give me Zhang Hong to exterminate the clan."
Doing what he says is Xiang Ji's consistent code of conduct.
Looking at Zhou Cang leading his team away, Xiang Ji suddenly thought of Dian Wei.
Today is different from the past. Although I don't care about the strength of the guards, there are still a lot of people in the back house, so the guards must be stronger.
Compared to Dian Wei, although Zhou Cang's loyalty is not so great, his combat effectiveness is...
Forget it, whatever I want him to do, if we encounter him again, we can just arrest him.
No longer thinking about those things, Xiang Ji, who had a rare leisure time, returned to the back house.
I am full and warm, and I am full of lust. I have been here for a long time in the Three Kingdoms. I have also collected five beauties. It’s time to work hard for future generations...
Time flies like an arrow, and time flies like a shuttle.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
Zhang Zhao officially took up the post, and Xiang Ji was very satisfied with both his work performance and work attitude.
As expected of someone who submitted his certificate of nomination, his work enthusiasm is extraordinary.
In this half month, Mi Zhu had to deal with a lot of things that made her anxious.
The gap between people should not be too big.
Mi Zhu, who was freed, asked Xiang Ji to arrange for him to return to his old profession.
Mi Zhu, who was appointed as the great agricultural minister, was also very excited. Taking charge of these salt and iron things is better than dealing with people's livelihood and human affairs, isn't it?
Of course, none of this is important.
The most important thing is that the long-awaited military competition among the generals has begun.
According to regulations, all generals above the rank of military commander who think they have the strength to fight are free to compete on stage.
There are four schools in total.
Each of the four schools will determine the number one, and then they will be divided into two groups with the number one from the other three schools, and finally the number one person in the army will be determined.
Of course, this does not include Xiang Ji.
As the lord, Xiang Ji just took a few beauties to watch the performances of his generals.
What Xiang Ji didn't expect was that Zhao Yun, who had been training troops in the mountains and fields before, actually returned after hearing the news.
Looking at the excited Zhao Yun, Xiang Ji was also speechless.
The fundamental purpose of this competition is to allocate quotas for the Danyang Army. Why are you, an elite cavalry general, joining in the fun?
"Everyone! This competition is meant to train the army to boost its power.
Now, I declare that the competition has officially begun!"
As guest host Cui Yan opened up his loud voice, the military competition officially began.
"I am Ma Chao, the military marshal. Is there anyone who wants to fight?"
With the first military marshal jumping in from the school field below, the competition officially kicked off.
When Xiang Ji heard the names of the people standing in the school grounds, he almost stood up in shock.
Damn it! What did this guy say his name was just now? Ma Chao!?
Are you kidding?
How old is Ma Chao now? And wasn't that guy eating sand with his father in Wuwei? How could he come to my place?
"ah!"
Before Xiang Ji could continue to wonder, Ma Chao had been knocked out of the field...
I... Ma your uncle!
Seeing Ma Chao being knocked away, Xiang Ji wanted to go up and give him a halberd. What's wrong with calling him Ma Chao? Do you deserve to be called Ma Chao?
You must know that Xiang Ji's purpose for this competition is not just to determine the winner among his generals.
He really wants to find a few talents in the army.
