Chapter 250: Martial Arts Competition? Wei Yuan: I Will Beat You Until You Surrender!

If it were Wei Yuan a few years ago, standing in front of Zhong E, he might have been overwhelmed by him in terms of temperament.

But now, as Wei Yuan has been in a high position for a long time, he has also developed a majesty that people dare not look directly at.

At this moment, Zhong E was in front of Wei Yuan, just like a pawn facing the general who commanded the three armies.

After hearing what Wei Yuan said, Zhong E did not dare to hesitate at all and quickly asked respectfully,

"Commander Wei, please give me instructions."

Wei Yuan nodded and said: "This commander came from Sanchuankou. Although Sanchuankou is no longer the focus of our defense, there should be garrison troops to prevent the Xixia army from raiding and invading."

There was no need to garrison troops at Sanchuankou, which was the acquiescence of Fan Wenzhenggong at that time.

Zhong E's father, Zhong Shiheng, was promoted by him, so the Zhong family army was stationed in Xixia.

Over the years, the Zhong family army has been using Fan Zhongyan's methods to govern Xixia.

It can be said that in the eyes of the Zhong family, ministers such as Fan Zhongyan and Han Zhang have a special meaning.

After all, the family became famous because of them.

When Chen Daniu and Xiao Yuming heard what Wei Yuan said, they both frowned secretly and felt a little confused.

When we were at Sanchuankou, didn't Commander Wei also say that there was no point in garrisoning troops there.

Now, why do you ask Zhonge to garrison troops at Sanchuankou?

In fact, it is very simple for Wei Yuan to do this.

Just want to see how Zhonge will choose.

If you choose to garrison troops at Sanchuankou, it means that the Zhong family army will work for Wei Yuan from now on, and it will no longer be the late Fan Zhongyan or others.

On the other hand, if Zhong E is unwilling to garrison troops at Sanchuankou, then Wei Yuan has enough reason to suspect that he and Zhong E are actually using each other.

Zhonge is not really relying on himself.

And he did not disappoint Wei Yuan,

"I wonder how many soldiers will be stationed in the Sanchuankou area?"

He did not ask why he was stationed. This answer satisfied Wei Yuan.

"One thousand soldiers is enough."

At this stage, Wei Yuan can safely use Zhong'e or Zhong's family army.

When employing people, sometimes what matters is not ability, but attitude.

First of all, Zhong E is very capable, and if he has a good attitude, why doesn't Wei Yuan reuse him?

"Before you came, I had seen the development of Zhao'an Yi, and the medical clinic was doing well."

"I heard that the security army still lacks a metropolitan supervisor. Although the official position is not big, he shoulders important responsibilities."

"If you are interested in the seed clinic, I will tell the officials about it someday."

As soon as Wei Yuan finished speaking, the doctor couldn't hide his joy and quickly bowed to him: "Thank you Commander Wei for the promotion!"

Dujian, commonly known as the supervisor of the army. This position is usually held by eunuchs, but there are also some ministers worthy of the emperor's trust who hold this position.

The position of the capital supervisor of an army is actually very small, and Wei Yuan can arrange it as the commander of the capital in front of the palace.

What really pleased Zhongcun was that Wei Yuan went to Zha Zi to tell the officials about this.

In other words, his name can be known to the officials.

If Wei Yuan could say a few nice words for him, it would be better than a hundred governors.

"Is this General Zhong Yi Zhong? I've heard that you always go first in every battle and are extremely brave."

"I heard that you also like to study military books. I happened to bring you a copy of "The Art of War" annotated by the famous general Guo Ziyi of the former dynasty."

"I'm giving this to you today. I hope you can fight first and win every battle."

After Wei Yuan finished speaking, a guard brought a military book to Zhong Yi.

Seeing this, Zhong Yi was flattered.

Many people know that he likes to read military books, but the dignified Marquis Wei, a high-ranking figure in the temple, actually knows this too?

I know who I am.

Thinking about it this way, a big shot can know his own preferences, but what about himself? We know very little about such a big man

Ashamed, really ashamed.

"Marquis of Wei, Commander of Wei, this military book is too precious, and the general will not be able to accept it." Zhong Yi said with a bow that was neither humble nor overbearing.

Wei Yuan smiled and said: "As the saying goes, swords are given to heroes, this military book should also be given to famous generals."

Famous general?

Hearing these two words, Zhong Yi blushed.

Although he often fights against the Xixia Army, it is always on a small scale and he has never participated in a national war.

But at a young age, Wei Yuan had already participated in two national wars, and achieved great results in both battles.

In comparison, what ability do you have to call yourself a famous general in front of him?

While Zhong Yi was hesitating, Zhong E had already said: "Since it is a gift from Commander Wei, just accept it!"

Military books annotated by celebrities are extremely valuable for collection among generals.

There are more than hundreds of military books like that in Wei Yuan's study.

These are all the things he ordered people to search for over the past few years.

In the eyes of many civil servants or others, Wei Yuan's habit of collecting military books written by famous people is somewhat strange.

Wei Yuan had nothing to give Zhonge, but just held his wrist, and the two of them went side by side to the Zhao'an Yi camp.

"Gu Tingye, that guy, didn't cause you any trouble, did he?"

When he asked, Zhong E said bluntly: "The Commander-in-Chief has a good understanding of people, and Gu Tingye is a good soldier. I firmly believe that with just a few battles, this son's future achievements will be limitless!"

Wei Yuan said seriously: "It's worth sharpening, so sharpen it well and make his knife as sharp as possible."

"No one can achieve anything without setbacks."

Zhong E understood that while he wanted to reuse Gu Tingye, he couldn't make him feel that he was being reused.

Becoming famous at a young age is not a good thing for most people.

Gu Tingye has only experienced a small battle and has gained some fame in the army, which is definitely not a good thing.

For a general, this is the most taboo.

Moreover, a sword that can cut iron like mud still needs thousands of hammers and tempers, what did Gu Tingye go through?

He is not like Wei Yuan, who is a person who has worked hard and slowly climbed up from the bottom.

Now everyone says that Wei Yuan is a noble son from a poor family, which is not false at all. Even before he became famous, he could not be called a "poor family".

He can only be said to be an ordinary farmer's son.

After all, which poor sister would be a concubine for others?

If there is a kind of person who is the most terrible in this world, it is probably like Wei Yuan, who has gone from the bottom of society to the top step by step.

Such a person is not afraid of life and death, and will not care about life and death, including the life and death of the enemy.

The next day, accompanied by Zhong Yan, Wei Yuan came to the "Baoan Village".

This is the base camp of the Baoan Army.

The Baoan Army has more than 50,000 people. In normal times, whether it is Zhong Yan or Kang Guogong, they only have the power to train soldiers but not the right to use them.

But to be honest, if the Zhong family is allowed to operate in Yanbian for another 20 to 30 years, if the Zhong family wants to establish a separatist regime, training and using soldiers will be a problem.

At this moment, on the platform of the Baoan Village Camp, Wei Yuan and others are watching the soldiers' training.

Even Chen Daniu and others couldn't help but praise the spirit of the Baoan Army soldiers:

"It is worthy of being a border army, much better than those drunkards in the capital!"

"General Chen, be careful! However, this Baoan Army can indeed be called an elite division!"

"."

If Fan Zhongyan hadn't governed Yanbian and reformed the military system, I'm afraid the so-called Baoan Army would have been just a pile of loose sand.

In the Yanbian area, there are three major imperial armies, which can be called the trump card army to resist Xixia, namely the Baoan Army, Dingbian Army, and Suide Army.

Among them, the Zhong family army that was stationed in the Yanzhou area was composed of the Dingbian and Suide armies.

Because the Zhong family first prospered in the Huanzhou area, later, when Zhong Yan guarded Yanzhou, he took away some veterans and subordinates who guarded Huanzhou. Those people were all from the Dingbian army.

The three legions had a total of nearly 200,000 soldiers.

"I heard that the soldiers of Wei Shuai's Danglu Army were all brave and invincible. The last time I went to the capital, I just took a quick glance and was already amazed by them."

Zhong Yan stood behind Wei Yuan and spoke slowly.

Hearing this, Wei Yuan smiled and said, "Whether it is the Baoan Army or the Danglu Army, their duty is to consolidate the peace of the Great Zhou. If we must compete in strength, we should compete with the Liao Army and the Xixia Army. Why should we compete with each other?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Yi, who could not bear the loneliness, suddenly said:

"I heard that General Wei killed seven Xixia generals in the battle outside Yanmen Pass and became famous all over the world. I think General Wei's martial arts must be unparalleled in the world. I dare to ask General Wei for advice!"

After all, he was born as a military general. Although he liked reading and was calm in using troops, he was still not smooth enough in the ways of the world.

Zhong Yan glared at him, "How dare you!"

Wei Yuan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. From what General Zhong said, you want to learn from me?"

He was just worried that he had no chance to establish his prestige in the Baoan Army, and this opportunity came to him.

He was indeed very prestigious in Daizhou, but that was also the result of several years of management.

In order to quickly establish a reputation in the Yanbian Army, after thinking about it, it is most appropriate to attack the Zhong family.

"General Wei, my brother is young and his words are often offensive. I hope you can forgive me."

Zhong Yan said hurriedly.

Chen Daniu also said: "If Brother Zhong wants to test your skills, why do you need to compete in person? You taught me martial arts, why don't I fight for you?"

Neither Zhong Yan nor the rest of the Zhong family have ever witnessed Wei Yuan's martial arts in person. It is one thing to hear about it, and it is another to see it with your own eyes.

Therefore, in this battle, Wei Yuan will fight in person even if he disregards his status.

"It's not a life-and-death battle, it's just a competition, no need to do it for me."

After a pause, he looked at Zhong Yi again,

"Since it is a competition, why not let the soldiers of the whole army see it?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhong Yi felt embarrassed.

He just wanted to test Wei Yuan's strength. If he won by accident, wouldn't it make Wei Yuan embarrassed in front of the soldiers of the Baoan Army?

With Wei Yuan's status, if he wanted to punish him, wouldn't it be a matter of a word?

This.

Before the two of them started fighting, Zhong Yi was already thinking about what to do if he won.

At this time, Zhong Yan warned Zhong Yi with his eyes.

Wei Yuan waved his hand and asked the drummer to beat the drum.

When the drum sounded, the soldiers who were training gathered together instantly.

Soon, they knew that the two generals were going to compete.

Zhong Yi and General Zhong, they were too familiar with each other.

But who was the person competing with General Zhong?

Wei Yuan came to the military camp without revealing his identity, so it was normal for them not to know.

There were also some smarter generals who vaguely guessed Wei Yuan's identity, but did not dare to show it.

At this moment, only Wei Yuan and Zhong Yi stood on the stage.

Xiao Yuming and others were already standing under the stage.

Zhong Yan had been staring at Zhong Yi, as if to say, if you lose, my Zhong family will have a bright future, if you win. But Yanbian has many mountains and forests, and every place is a suitable place for burial.

Everyone could hear the voices of the soldiers talking:

"Who is this general? Why haven't I seen him before?"

"I don't know. General Zhong is a master of martial arts. In my opinion, the outcome is already decided."

"Yes, when the Xixia army entered the country to plunder, General Zhong dared to chase more than ten Xixia soldiers alone. This courage is rare."

""

On the stage, Zhong Yi took a spear and solemnly clasped his fists to Wei Yuan:

"General Wei, I wonder what weapon you are going to use?"

Wei Yuan smiled and said, "My boxing skills are okay, but as for weapons, forget it."

His martial arts are not inherited from his family. They are based on the teachings of Zhang Fu and Gu Yankai, and they are all killing skills.

If he uses weapons, it is difficult to guarantee whether Zhong Yi can be injured.

Zhong Yi frowned and said, "General Wei, what do you mean by not using weapons?"

Wei Yuan nodded.

Zhong Yi frowned, threw his spear aside, and said with a fist: "In this case, let's compete in boxing and kicking."

At this moment, Chen Daniu, who was standing next to Zhong Yan, shook his head and sighed:

"General Wei didn't use weapons because he was worried about hurting him, but he didn't have a few days left. He probably couldn't get out of bed."

Hearing this, Zhong Yan was surprised and said: "Is General Wei's martial arts really as good as the rumors say?"

He thought that Wei Yuan was proficient in martial arts, but not to the extent of being invincible in the world.

After all, it is rare to have ten thousand enemies.

Chen Daniu smiled and said: "You once fought side by side with General Yang Huairen. How is General Yang's martial arts?"

Zhong Yan said: "When we returned in triumph, I had a competition with him. Within a hundred moves, we were evenly matched. After a hundred moves, General Yang's martial arts were better than mine."

Chen Daniu said bluntly: "When General Wei let go, General Yang couldn't last more than a hundred moves under General Wei."

What?

Hearing this, Zhong Yi's eyes widened in disbelief.

While the two were discussing.

The competition had already begun on the stage.

Zhong Yi clasped his fists again, "Excuse me!"

Then, he punched out.

Wei Yuan also punched back.

Bang——

The two fists collided, and Zhong Yi retreated several steps directly, while Wei Yuan did not move at all.

Zhong Yi's eyes were filled with horror.

With just one punch, he already knew how strong Wei Yuan was.

However, all the soldiers in the army were watching. If they admitted defeat after one punch, they would probably think they were acting.

Therefore, this battle was far from over.

But if they continued to compete,

they would lose miserably!

At this time, Wei Yuan smiled and said, "General Zhong, let me try the Zhong family spear."

Hearing this, Zhong Yi looked ashamed and nodded, "General Wei, thank you!"

Then, he picked up the spear and rushed towards Wei Yuan.

Seeing this, Zhong Yan hurriedly exclaimed, "No!"

But it was too late.

Just when everyone thought that Zhong Yi was holding a weapon and Wei Yuan was unarmed, the outcome was already decided.

But there was a shocking reversal!

Wei Yuan was quick-witted and grabbed Zhong Yi's spear, and with brute force, he broke the spear into two pieces.

Zhong Yi was obviously stunned by this scene. During his daze, Wei Yuan seized the opportunity and knocked him away several steps with an iron mountain lean.

When Zhong Yi landed, he was already vomiting blood and his internal organs were trembling.

He never thought that Wei Yuan was as strong as the rumors said!

Wei Yuan stepped forward and personally helped Zhong Yi up, and said seriously: "General Zhong, when the two armies are facing each other, you will also be distracted?"

Zhong Yi smiled bitterly, spit out a mouthful of blood, and bowed to Wei Yuan solemnly: "General Wei, I surrender!"

"In the future, General Wei has any mission, just tell me, I am willing to serve you!"

Wei Yuan smiled and said: "General Zhong is too kind, as the saying goes, you don't know each other until you fight, and this sentence also applies to people like us in the army."

At the same time, the soldiers of the Baoan Army were all amazed,

"General Zhong Yi actually lost?"

"Is it fake?"

"Who is this guy, how can he beat General Zhong?"

"It's too fake, even if General Zhong is not his opponent, he shouldn't be defeated like this."

"."

Some people were amazed, and others were questioning.

There were too many people, and the chattering voices were intertwined, making it difficult for Wei Yuan to hear clearly, but seeing the expressions of some people, Wei Yuan could guess their discussions.

After a pause, Wei Yuan first looked at Zhong Yan who was in shock below the stage, then looked at all the soldiers, and laughed loudly:

"General Zhong Yan, today I am really excited to compete with you in martial arts, and I haven't had enough fun yet."

"Why don't you select ten soldiers from the whole army, including you, and come on stage together to compete with me."

Soldiers don't have so many twists and turns.

In summary, if you can fight better than us, we will respect you!

Wei Yuan will fight until they respect him!

Opportunities like today to establish prestige in Yanbian are rare, so we need to seize them well.
