Chapter 818
Wei Wentong also bowed forward. At this time, a soldier shouted: "Master General, let's go to battle!"
A response suddenly sounded around, "Master, let's compete once!"
Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "Do these bastards want to see me look ugly?"
Su Dingfang also smiled and said, "I haven't seen the coach take action for almost a year, so I've been looking forward to it!"
Zhang Xuan knocked him on the head casually and scolded, "Are you here to join in the fun?"
Having said that, the anticipated gazes of tens of thousands of soldiers around him made Zhang Xuan unable to refuse. Moreover, his martial arts have become more mature in recent years and his understanding of the Ziyang Ji technique has become more thorough. He is also looking forward to fighting with the masters, so he smiled and said, "Can General Yuwen compete with each other?"
Yuwen Chengdu bowed and said, "If the general is interested, he should be with him!"
"Okay! Take my halberd."[[(<(["
When the soldiers of the military camp heard that the commander was going to compete with Yuwen Chengdu, they rushed out one after another. A total of 70,000 or 80,000 generals surrounded the schoolyard. The second strong general in the world was facing the third strong general in the world. Such a wonderful scene was not available at any time.
Zhang Xuan turned on the horse, and the treasure-flame beast cheered up his spirit. Although Yuwen Chengdu's war horse was a new horse, it was still called the Demon Inn Beast. It was shiny all over and there was no miscellaneous hair. Yuwen Chengdu raised the phoenix wings and the gilded boron to express his greetings.
Zhang Xuan waved his two-wheeled Purple Sun Halberd and shouted sternly: "General Yuwen, let it go!"
"Get orders!"
The two shouted loudly at the same time, urging the horse to gallop. The two war horses rushed towards each other from a hundred steps away. Zhang Xuan's long halberd was like the wind, stabbing Yuwen Chengdu's chest. At this time, Zhang Xuan's moves were even more refined and simple. He had no tricks like a halberd and seven heads. He just stabbed in this lightly, but there was an invisible force inside.
Yuwen Chengdu looked very serious. He knew that he had met a real master. He immediately took the defensive stance, and the gilded boring flattened a semicircle, blocking all attacking points. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xuan's long halberd was not affected at all, piercing his defense and stabbed Yuwen Chengdu's chest slowly. Yuwen Chengdu was shocked. The opponent's halberd tip seemed unhappy, but he could not avoid it. A powerful force field covered him all over.
In desperation, Yuwen Chengdu shouted loudly, waved the gold-plumed boron and swept Zhang Xuan's head. This was a way of losing both sides. It was possible on the battlefield, but now he was a little scoundrel. He knew that Zhang Xuan would not really stab, but Yuwen Chengdu could not let go of his face. The second strong general in the world was defeated in one encounter. When the news spread, where would his face be put?
Sure enough, the pressure on his chest suddenly disappeared, and Yuwen Chengdu hurriedly stopped and the two horses passed by.
This round was a strange fight. The weapons of both sides did not touch, but they just made a gesture and ended. Moreover, the moves were surprisingly simple. They just slashed and swept them, without any dazzling feeling. The school ground was silent, and everyone was puzzled and didn't know whether they should cheer.
Wei Wentong experienced the experience of the master. He saw the clues and whispered to Su Dingfang: "Did you see it? General Yuwen has been defeated."
Su Dingfang nodded slightly and sighed: "What does it mean to be a Jianfan? I finally saw it today. I can't escape the thorn of the Grand Marshal."
At this time, Yuwen Chengdu's face was flushed. He was about to let Tong admit defeat, but Zhang Xuan shouted: "Come again!"
Before Yuwen Chengdu could speak, Zhang Xuan took the lead in urging his horse to run out and rushed straight to Yuwen Chengdu. Yuwen Chengdu was secretly grateful. This was the general who gave him face and did not let him lose in one move. He also cheered up and waved his energy to fight. He was a little careless in his move just now. At this time, he did not dare to underestimate the enemy at all, and fought fiercely with Zhang Xuan. This time they fought for strength and degree, and kept hearing the loud "clang!" of weapons colliding, the sound was extremely harsh, and many soldiers covered their ears.
In the blink of an eye, the two fought fiercely for twenty rounds, like dragons and tigers fighting fiercely and wonderfully. The powerful aura that seized the power of heaven and earth made the soldiers on both sides feel murderous intent, and their voices were hoarse.
Zhang Xuan was slightly inferior to Zhang Xuan's martial arts that simplified the complex and made magical in plainness were better than Yuwen Chengdu. At this time, the two war horses crossed over again, but did not return. Yuwen Chengdu Hengtong held his fist and said, "The great general's extraordinary martial arts, Yuwen Chengdu, was ashamed of his own. Thank you for your mercy."
Zhang Xuan smiled slightly, "Even if you want to play a draw! We will compete next time."
"When I go back, I will think about the attack from Da Zheng."
The two laughed, and suddenly there was a burst of applause around the school grounds, and the cheers were like thunder. The soldiers shouted desperately, cheering forever.
Wei Wentong and Su Dingfang both breathed a sigh of relief. It was the best point. At this time, Zhang Xuan waved his hand and the surroundings of the schoolyard suddenly became quiet. Zhang Xuan whispered to the soldiers: "Today is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. I will greet you in the New Year. I hope you will fight bravely in the new year and save a lot of wealth for your descendants. I also hope that you will practice martial arts hard. I believe that the new world's number one strong general will definitely be born among you."
Cheers sounded again around the schoolyard
Zhang Xuan walked into the tent and asked the generals to sit down. He first said to Yuwen Chengdu: "Don't worry about your wife and children. I have written a letter to Wang Shichong. He promised to release the people immediately. Now they should be on the way."
Yuwen Chengdu was extremely grateful and hurriedly said, "The grace of the great commander is remembered in his heart."
Zhang Xuan smiled and asked again, "Are you still used to it here?"
Yuwen Chengdu shook his head, "I'm not used to it!"
Zhang Xuan was stunned, "Why?"
Yuwen Chengdu looked at the generals and said, "Everyone has made great achievements in combat, but he is humble but has no inch of his achievements. The pressure is too great. I hope the commander can immediately humble his duties."
The generals under the tent laughed together, and Zhang Xuan nodded and said, "Okay! There are 30,000 Jianghuai soldiers coming to Zhongdu for training. I will hand over this task to General Yuwen, so that they can taste General Yuwen's power."
Everyone laughed again. Yuwen Chengdu was about to speak, but Zhang Xuan waved his hand to stop him and said with a smile: "I know General Yuwen wants to participate in the war. After the beginning of spring, the Battle of Jiangnan will be launched. General Yuwen can participate in the war."
Yuwen Chengdu was overjoyed and stood up and saluted, "Abide by the orders of humble duties!"
At this time, all the generals in the tent were eager to participate in the Battle of Jiangnan. Zhang Xuan slowly said to everyone: "At present, I have deployed 40,000 infantry, 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 navy troops in Jiangnan. Judging from the intelligence, Meng Haigong is likely to join forces with Lin Shihong, so I am preparing to increase 30,000 troops to Jiangnan to make the strength of Jiangnan reach 100,000 troops. In addition, there are only 10,000 troops in Jianghuai. I am also planning to increase 10,000 troops to Jianghuai to consolidate the security of Jianghuai. As for Bingzhou, I do not want to start a war for the time being and maintain the status quo."
At this time, Wei Wentong asked: "Master General, will the Tang army attack us this year? I heard that they are also actively recruiting troops. Do you want to recapture Shangdang and Changping?"
This is also something that everyone is very concerned about. Although the Sui army is not prepared to attack Bingzhou, it does not mean that the Tang army will be in peace.
Zhang Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Whether the Tang army wants to recover the two counties of Bingzhou, the key is whether they have increased troops and transferred grain to Hedong. Our intelligence scouts have been collecting the other party's intelligence. Judging from the current situation, the Tang army has not increased troops and has not mobilized grain. The army can temporarily deploy it, but the grain needs several months to prepare. Once the spring is in full swing, our navy will block the Yellow River again, and they will not have a chance. So I can judge that the Tang army is unlikely to counterattack Bingzhou this year. Moreover, from the intelligence, the Tang army is very likely to move the Jingzhou battle and send troops from Bashu to attack Jingzhou."
"What about Wang Shichong? What does the Grand Marshal think he will do?" Su Dingfang also asked.
Zhang Xuan said to the generals: "In the previous Central Plains War, many people wondered why I gave Xiangyang County to Wang Shichong. Actually, I just wanted to open a hole for Wang Shichong and let Wang Shichong move south. Once the Tang army attacked Jingzhou, it would inevitably threaten Wang Shichong's interests. So I infer that Wang Shichong's main attack direction this year will also be in the south. There will be no war in the Central Plains, but we must be careful that there will be riot bandits taking the opportunity to rebel, so the task of the scouts this year will be quite heavy."
Speaking of this, Zhang Xuan glanced at Shen Guang, and Shen Guang immediately stood up to salute, "I am ready."
Everyone suddenly realized and admired each other secretly. They said that the general was far-sighted. Judging from Xiangyang County, the general was indeed far-reaching. With such a talented and powerful lord, everyone had more confidence in seizing the world.
At this time, firecrackers came from the direction of Zhongdu, and Zhang Xuan stood up and smiled: "Hurry up and let the soldiers rest and train well, and wait for the battle after the spring begins."
