In the ring, Xiahou Yuan was able to hit the bullseye from a hundred steps away. He had demonstrated the new style of fancy riding archery. The challengers who were unwilling to lose flocked to him, but they did not cause him much trouble.
When it was noon, Xiahou Yuan rode out with a long saber in hand. He used the back of the saber to hook the red robe of Shu brocade on the rack and hung it on his back. He was in high spirits and very happy.
The reason why Cao Cao had come up with so many tricks was actually to give consolation prizes to his subordinates. He was afraid that tomorrow, when the martial arena opened, it would be a huge blow to the other generals.
Just as Cao Cao was about to praise Xiahou Yuan, the sounds of battle rang out from afar.
"Report!"
A scout came to report.
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, a thousand meters away, a strong man has driven hundreds of rebel soldiers away and crashed into the emperor's hunting ground. The flying bear has killed all the rebel soldiers and is currently fighting with that man.”
Cao Cao clicked his tongue in wonder when he heard this. Not just anyone could chase hundreds of people away.
He waved his sleeves and ordered Zhang Wu,"Ziqian, lure that brawny man to see me.”
"Yes."
Zhang Wu's horse was fast, and he rushed to the chaotic place one step ahead.
He saw a man more than eight feet tall, with a waist as big as an iron tower. He held a long-handled saber and rode on a horse. The thin horse was already panting from the conflict on the left and right, and it was in danger of dying at any time.
The brawny man clearly held back, the flying bear cavalry were only injured and not dead, most of them were knocked off their horses by the back of their blades.
"What a peerless tiger general." Zhang Wu praised and scanned the other party with the system.
[Name: Xu
Chu][Strength: 98
][Commander: 74
][Intelligence: 60
][Political: 15
][Skill: 1][Tiger Maniac: Fearless][Strength 1 for every ten rounds of battle, maximum 9.]
[2. Naked Clothes: Temporary 5 to physical strength when removing armor.]
So it was Tiger Addict Xu Chu.
When Xu Chu saw a young general riding a red horse over, he immediately shouted,"Then little general, grandfather doesn't want to hurt anyone. Quickly lead your troops back and let me go home.”
Zhang Wu was still sighing at Xu Chu's bravery, but his face darkened completely. He pointed his spear into the distance."Your grandfather's evil man, who do you think you are? Do you want to die?”
Xu Chu punched his chest with his fist, making loud thumping sounds."Grandpa, Qiao County Xu Chu, can you smell it? If you know what's good for you, leave now. I'm going to Xu County to find Zhang Wu and have a showdown.”
It turned out that after Cao Cao unified Yanzhou, Xu Chu's hometown no longer had Gebei bandits. Instead, he stayed in the village all day to fight fiercely and bravely, causing his neighbors to suffer.
Xu Chu's father had no choice but to tell him that Xu County had the number one general in the world, Zhang Wu.
Martial artists were all people who fought fiercely and bravely. They had never fought before. Xu Chu was naturally not satisfied with Zhang Wu's first place, so he went straight to Xuchang. Along the way, he had heard a lot of Zhang Wu's fame, and he was even more eager to try.
When he passed by a village, he saw the rebels robbing the people, so he acted righteously.
Nearly eight hundred rebel soldiers had been scattered by him, but he refused to stop there. He drove the bandits all the way to Xuchang, and only then did the flying bear move out and wipe them out.
Zhang Wu asked the reason and almost fell off his horse. He said in a bad mood,"I am Chen Liu and Zhang Wu."
Xu Chu sized up Zhang Wu in disbelief."The horse is a good horse. If Zhang Wu was like you, I could beat him down with one hand.”
Zhang Wu ordered someone to bring a good horse from Dawan and give it to Xu Chu."Cao Cao, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, has set up an arena here. If you want to challenge Zhang Wu, come with me.”
Xu Chu was someone who knew what was good for him. He had never seen such a good horse in his hometown. After sitting on the horse, he quickly cupped his fists and thanked him."Hehehe, thank you for the horse, little general. After I deal with that Chen Liu and Zhang Wu, I will be appreciated by Prime Minister Cao. I will treat you to three hundred cups of wine.”
"Alright, cut the crap."
The two of them entered the hunting ground one after another and came to the front of the high platform.
When the generals saw who it was, they clicked their tongues in wonder.
People like Dian Wei and Xu Chu looked like brave generals at first glance. They looked like iron towers and were fierce. Cowards did not dare to look at them directly.
On the contrary, Zhang Wu seemed to be an anomaly.
Even if he wore heavy armor, rode a horse, and brought a vicious weapon, ordinary people would think that he was a Confucian general.
This was also the reason why Cao Cao had chosen guards like Dian Wei and Xu Chu despite the tens of thousands of generals in the Cao camp. Usually, when he brought Zhang Wu out, people would treat him as a junior. It couldn't be helped. His appearance determined his aura. When Zhang Wu wasn't angry, he was just like an ordinary neighborhood boy, harmless to humans and animals. People would have a good impression of him.
When Cao Cao saw Xu Chu, he was filled with affection for him. He walked down from the platform and held Xu Chu's back to chat with him. In less than an hour, Xu Chu was already calling him Prime Minister and Lord.
Zhang Wu was dumbfounded.
"Prime Minister, I heard from the general that there is an arena here. Quickly let me go up and challenge Chen Liu and Zhang Wu.”
"Zhongkang, don't be anxious. I haven't announced the rules yet.”
Cao Cao then turned around and grabbed Zhang Wu. The two of them walked up to the arena together.
"Ever since I raised my army in Chen Liu, I was fortunate enough to have Ziqian's help. I defeated Dong and Lu, and my reputation shook Chang 'an. Ziqian was extremely brave outside the city. He smashed open the city gate with a spear and obtained Dong Zhuo's wealth. This is the general that the heavens have bestowed upon me. He is truly brave and has unparalleled martial arts skills. Zi Qian will be the arena lord and all the generals can go up to challenge him.”
"The rules of the martial arena are simple. The generals can take turns to challenge and monopolize the arena. They can invite friends to surround them. The injured will be rewarded with 100 gold coins. Those who challenge twenty rounds without defeat will be rewarded with thousands of gold. More than 100 rounds without defeat, granted the pass Hou. Those who win the battle will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold and granted marquis.”
Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!
Cao Cao's words were like a small spark thrown into a barrel of explosives, instantly igniting the blood of all the generals.
He had served on the battlefield for the sake of becoming a marquis, a prime minister, a wife, and a son. Although Zhang Wu was brave, he could not stop everyone's yearning for fame and fortune.
Moreover, just being injured could earn him a hundred gold coins! Usually, such a good thing could only be realized in a dream.
"Ziqian, don't go easy on me. I don't have much silver in my treasury." Cao Cao instructed in a low voice.”
Zhang Wu's blood was also boiling. He laughed out loud and promised,"Don't worry, my lord."
