That night, the lights were brightly lit in Xiahou Yuan's mansion. More than 30 banquets were held in the front hall (in the Han Dynasty, the rich and gentry feasts were held in the "single seat system", that is, one person had a seat alone). Xiahou Yuan sat upright in the main seat in the hall, beside his wife Cui and his beloved daughter Xiahou Rong. In the left and right sides of the hall, Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen, Xiahou De, Xiahou Ba... are all relatives of the Xiahou and Cao family. Because there were no outsiders, the atmosphere in the table was extremely warm.

After three rounds of drinking, a young man with a handsome appearance stood up in the lower seat on the left, with ashamed, raised his glass with both hands, bowed down and said, "It was all my nephew's incompetence, which caused Rong Mei to be in danger. Boren punished himself with a glass and begged uncle, aunt, Rong Mei to forgive me!"

Xiahou Rong was wearing a green dress, and her pink face looked even more beautiful after drinking a few sips of wine. Her green shirt and pink faces looked like a fairy in a painting. Hearing Xiahou Shang's ashamed apology, Xiahou Rong smiled faintly and said softly: "It's no wonder that brother! Besides, the younger sister has returned safely, brother should not blame himself!"

Xiahou Yuan is also a generous person. Although he was very angry that Xiahou had not yet protected his daughter, his beloved daughter has returned safely. Xiahou Shang is his nephew again, and most of the anger in his heart has dissipated. Now seeing Xiahou Shang sincerely accusing him in front of everyone, all his anger disappeared and laughed: "Haha. Boren, your sister has forgiven you. This matter will be revealed. Don't mention it again in the future. Okay, if you do this, you will be considered as apologizing for your sister!"

Xiahou Shang looked excited, "Thank you uncle, thank you sister Rong!" After that, he raised his glass and drank it all.

A powerful one-eyed man sitting on the right said in a deep voice: "Boren, although your uncle Miaocai and sister have forgiven you, you will also need to practice martial arts in the future. This time you are defeated by a bandit. If you are found out by outsiders, wouldn't you lose all the face of my Cao and Xiahou? You still need to learn from Zilie (Cao Xiu, name Zilie) and Zidan (Cao Zhen, name Zidan) to be brave enough to not humiliate my bravery." The speaker was Xiahou Shangzhi's uncle, Xiahou Dun, the number one general in Cao Cao's army, the number one general in Zhendong.

“…Yes, my nephew keeps in mind his uncle’s teachings!”

At this time, Cao Zhen next to him saw Xiahou Shang's face looking embarrassed. He had always been intimidated with Xiahou Shang, and he let him rescue him: "Uncle Yuan Rang, I heard that the battle to Yanjin this time was quite difficult. Tell us about the passage!" Cao Zhen and other younger generations did not go out with the army this time, and only stayed in Xuchang. Therefore, they were very curious about the fierce battle between Cao's army and Wen Chou's army in Yanjin, so they spoke up for questions.

"Okay, it's also considered to be a better experience for you to fight in the future!"

Everyone in the hall suddenly became quiet and listened attentively to Xiahou Dun about the past of this battle. When they heard Wen Chou killing Zhang Liao and Xu Huang joining forces, everyone in the hall exclaimed. Finally, after hearing Xiahou Dun talk about the earth-shaking battle between Guan Yu and Wen Chou, the lobby fell into silence.

After a while, Xiahou Ba couldn't help asking, "So that. After killing Wen Chou, wouldn't Guan Yunchang be invincible in the world?"

At this time, Cao Hong, who was on the second seat on the left, smiled and said, "Although Guan Yu's martial arts skills are excellent, they are better than the former Wen Hou Lu Bu!"

"But Lu Bu is dead. In this world, Guan Yu is the best in martial arts?" Xiahou De asked.

Xiahou Dun shook his head.

"Who else can beat Guan Yu's martial arts?"

Xiahou Dun's face turned aside and said slowly: "After Guan Yu killed Wen Chou that day, the Prime Minister also asked this question! But Guan Yu once admitted that there was a man who had better martial arts than him!"

"Who is this person? This person is an enemy or a friend of our army?" several young people in the hall asked in unison.

"This man is an enemy rather than a friend to our army! In fact, he has also been in Xuchang for a while. He is the sworn brother of Liu Bei and Guan Yu - Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide! Guan Yu once said that Zhang Fei took the head of the general among millions of troops as easy as taking things out of his bag!"

Suddenly, the hall was in an uproar! There was such a genius in the world!!!

It was him????!!! Suddenly, when he heard this name that had been lingering in his heart for many days, Xiahou Rong trembled in her heart, and accidentally knocked over the wine glass in front of her, spilling the wine on the table. When Cui sat next to her, he hurriedly asked, "Daughter, what's wrong with you!"

Xiahou Rong's pretty face turned slightly white, and she forced herself to smile and said, "Mother, my daughter seems to be a little uncomfortable, and she wants to go back to her room to rest first!"

Xiahou Yuan, who was sitting between Cui and Xiahou Rong, saw his daughter's face turned pale and thought she was really unwell. He hurriedly asked the maid to help her daughter down to rest. Xiahou Rong bent down to the elders and brothers at the banquet and bowed to her front hall and returned to her room. After closing the door, Xiahou Rong came to the window and looked at the night sky outside the window. For a moment, the stars seemed to transform into the rough, mighty but friendly smiling face.

Why are you... my father's enemy!! Do you know me...

………………………………………………………

After about one month, with Sun Qian's careful management, our army had all the weapons and shields needed to officially equip the entire army. It was more than 10 days faster than the original expectation. I have to admire Sun Qian's ability. Although Sun Qian was slightly lacking in making plans, his internal affairs and diplomacy were quite outstanding. No wonder Sun Qian was able to rank among the top civil officials in Shu Han during his lifetime, and he was almost incompatible with Zhuge Liang. You should know that Liu Bei had a very accurate vision in using people and would not be entrusted with important tasks based on his qualifications.

With excellent weapons, soldiers are more vigorous in training. Among them, the progress of spear infantry is most obvious, and the formation training is already similar. Especially when the first battalion commander spears rotate like a wheel, and each wave of spears stabbed forward at the same time, even I was shocked by the tide. I called this quite terrifying attack method "gun car". Another training can begin with the weapons being in place, which is another unique skill that I require these two battalion commanders spearmen to master - the projection skill of the gun. Since there is no condition to form a large-scale archery force, in order to make up for the shortcomings of the long-range troops, the gun throwing skills must be well practiced. It can be imagined that when the two battalion commanders spearmen throw guns at the same time, the scene of 2,000 guns falling from overwhelming to the sky will be quite shocking, and the power will definitely be good.
