Even though Hua Xiong wanted to compete with Lu Bu for this new army.
But he knew nothing about training troops.
If he really fought with Lu Bu, he would probably lose miserably.
Lu Bu laughed coldly," General Hua, why are you so quiet? Are you afraid to fight me?"”
"Let's compete. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?”
Hwa Xiong didn't want to lose his momentum in front of Lu Bu, so he didn't hesitate to retort.
"Alright, in that case, we'll each recruit a thousand strong men and have a martial arts competition in the drill ground a month later.”
"Whoever wins will be the commander of the new army. The loser has to agree to a request from the winner. What do you think?”
Lu Bu looked at Hwa Xiong provocatively.
Hwa Xiong knew that Lu Bu was trying to humiliate him.
However, since he had already agreed, there was nothing to back down.
"No problem!"
Hwa Xiong said straightforwardly.
Everyone present knew that Lu Bu was well-versed in military affairs and had trained his hands in good weapons.
He also had Zhang Liao and Gao Shun under him.
Especially Gao Shun, he had over seven hundred subordinates, which was known as a thousand.
Their armor and weapons were refined and neat. They strictly adhered to military discipline and were very brave in battle.
Every time Gao Shun led the troops, they would be able to attack and defeat everything, quickly taking down the enemy camp.
Thus, the troops under Gao Shun were also known as the Breaking Ranks Camp.
Therefore, in their eyes, Hwa Xiong was definitely going to lose this time.
Everyone looked at Hwa Xiong with schadenfreude, pity, and mockery…
"Then it's settled!"
Dong Zhuo said.
Hwa Xiong left the Grand Preceptor's Residence and rode on his horse. He immediately looked a little distressed.
Although he was so calm in front of everyone just now and did not retreat at all, he was completely holding on.
Training new recruits and sparring with Lu Bu, he had no confidence at all.
Sigh, if only he had Zhuge Liang under him now.
However, Zhuge Liang was currently living in seclusion in Longzhong and had yet to come out of seclusion.
It was really beyond his reach.
Just as Hwa Xiong was worried, he suddenly remembered that he had received 5,000 prestige points last time.
He had almost forgotten about this!
Hwa Xiong slapped his head and called out to the System in his mind.
"System, help me draw ten times!”
He had to get something good!
Hwa Xiong prayed nervously in his heart.
If he lost to Lu Bu in terms of training, he would not lose his life.
However, given the bad relationship between the two of them, who knew how Lu Bu would humiliate him?
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Soul Returning Pill!”
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a bottle of facial wash!”
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Wrangler SUV!”
……
Although he didn't know what the Soul Returning Pill was used for, it sounded like a kind of medicinal pill.
The results of the previous few lottery draws could be said to be of no help to the following training.
Hwa Xiong's face darkened.
This was the last time, he had to drop something good!
Ding!" Congratulations to the host for obtaining 500 soldiers from the Qi Family!”
Hwa Xiong was stunned at first, but then he revealed an ecstatic expression.
He had actually drawn 500 soldiers from the Qi Family? This was awesome!
The Qi Family's Army was named after their commander, Qi Jiguang.
During the Ming Dynasty, the army was formed in Yiwu, Zhejiang Province, so it was also known as the Yiwu Army and the Zhejiang Army.
It was famous for its strict military discipline, professional training standards, and a record of winning every battle. It was a famous army that had always won.
Relying on the powerful Qi Family Army, Qi Jiguang only used a dozen years to quell the 100-year-old Japanese rebellion in the Ming Dynasty. After the Japanese pirates were wiped out, he was ordered to go north to Jizhou to defend the Great Wall border, preventing the Mongolia from invading south.
Even when Jizhou was safe, they sent troops to Liaodong to repel the invasion of the Mongol Empire.
The Qi Family's Army had eleven people as their basic combat unit. If they formed a mandarin duck formation, it would be enough to block a hundred people!
Therefore, even though Hwa Xiong only had 500 soldiers, in this chaotic era of the Three Kingdoms, it was enough to fight against an army of thousands!
Hwa Xiong hurried back to the barracks.
Dong Zhuo had given him more than half of the 10,000 soldiers under him.
Now that the situation was tense, Dong Zhuo had asked for all the soldiers to return.
There were only a thousand old and sick people left under Hwa Xiong.
Hwa Xiong found an empty military camp and called out to the System in his heart.
"System, I want to take over 500 soldiers from the Qi Family!”
A moment later, Hwa Xiong's vision blurred as 500 soldiers appeared out of thin air in front of him.
They stood there in unison, expressionless.
No one spoke. If not for the fact that he could feel their breathing, Hwa Xiong would have thought that there were 500 statues standing in front of him.
Such an elite army exuded a murderous aura.
Hwa Xiong couldn't help but nod in praise. As expected of the world-renowned Qi Family's Army.
Then, Hwa Xiong asked the System about the Qi Family's Army in detail.
Although these soldiers were created by the system, they were no different from real people. They also had emotions and needed to eat, drink, poop, and sleep.
However, no matter where or when, they would always remain loyal to Hwa Xiong and would never betray him.
After hearing the system's explanation, Hwa Xiong beamed even more.
With such an army, would he need to be afraid of the upcoming martial arts competition?
……
In the military camp.
Lu Bu sat in the main seat, frowning.
"Are you saying that Hwa Xiong has been staying at home recently and has never shown up?”
"General, that is indeed the case."
A soldier answered seriously.
"Alright, you may leave."
Lu Bu waved his hand and looked at Zhang Liao and Gao Shun in confusion.
"What do you think Hwa Xiong is up to?”
Ever since he had decided to duel with Hua Xiong in front of Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu had been determined to defeat him.
He ordered people to raise the recruitment flag in Chang 'an Fortress.
Lu Bu had to personally look over all the able-bodied men who came to join the army. He would only agree to let them join the army after confirming that they were all young and strong men.
At the same time, Lu Bu ordered his men to keep an eye on Hua Xiong, afraid that he would play any tricks.
However, contrary to his expectations, Hwa Xiong did not even step out of his house, let alone recruit strong men.
How could Lu Bu not be confused?
Zhang Liao rubbed his chin and was also surprised.
"This subordinate…does not know."
"Tsk, it must be because Hwa Xiong felt that he was no match for the general, so he gave up on himself.”
Gao Shun sneered and said disapprovingly.
As a general of the Western Liang Army, Gao Shun knew Hua Xiong well. He knew that Hua Xiong's martial strength was passable, but his training was a mess.
"It seems like this is the only possibility."
Lu Bu chuckled, not putting Hwa Xiong in his eyes.
Time flew by like a white horse, and the agreed date arrived in the blink of an eye.
Dong Zhuo led all the generals of the Western Liang Army to the drill ground.
A platform had been set up here in advance to make it convenient for everyone to watch the battle.
Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and the others were all dressed in military attire. They went up to the spectator stand and bowed to Dong Zhuo.
"Godfather, our troops are ready.”
Everyone turned to look at the army that Lu Bu had brought, and they couldn't help but be shocked.
