"Alright, alright, Meng Qi was just joking with you!”
Liu Bei shook his head and smiled bitterly. These two people were simply natural enemies.
As long as they met, they would spar and fight each other, but this time, Ma Chao clearly had the upper hand.
Zhang Fei understood when he saw everyone's amused expressions.
He gritted his teeth and said,"
"Alright, Meng Qi, remember this. The next time we fight, I won't show any mercy.”
Ma Chao shrugged indifferently."
"I have to thank Third General for giving in to me earlier.”
The farce quickly ended, and everyone went to prepare.
They were still three days away from Chengdu, and the situation between the three forces was delicate.
Zhuge Liang was definitely waiting for Liu Bei to discuss the next step of the plan.
Liu Feng, Liu Bei, and the others came to the middle hall of the Sword Pavilion. Thinking of what had just happened, Liu Feng said,
"This morning, Third Uncle was worried about inheriting martial arts. I thought of a way to solve this problem!”
Liu Bei was a little surprised, but he was also looking forward to it."
"Any good ideas for public welfare?"
"Tell me quickly."
Zhang Fei also became spirited and hurriedly urged.
Ever since he saved Guan Yu, Zhang Fei's affection for him had obviously increased by quite a bit!
Liu Feng paused for a moment and replied,
"We don't have to limit ourselves to generals. We can hold a martial arts tournament in the entire army or even the entire Yizhou to select talents.”
The Han Dynasty still implemented the system of inspection and recommendation, and talents were recommended by the local authorities.
Or a celebrity reporting, this limitation was too big.
Liu Feng, who was too complicated, did not know much about it, but this martial arts competition could give more people a chance to stand out.
Guan Yu nodded thoughtfully,"
"That's not a bad idea."
Liu Feng pondered for a moment, then faced Liu Bei and the others and calmly said his thoughts,
"Although our army has the Five Tiger Generals and is peerless, we also have many brave generals and talented people.
However, it was still not enough to dominate the Central Plains.
It seems that there is no one who can fight with Second Uncle and Third Uncle.
If Third Uncle announced to the public that he was going to take in disciples and teach them skills…
I'm afraid there are many followers. If you uncles are willing to carry forward your martial arts, why worry about not achieving great things?”
This suggestion made everyone's eyes light up. This was indeed an excellent method.
Imparting martial arts was one thing, but it could also nurture elite soldiers and good generals. This was the most important thing.
When Zhang Fei heard this, he clapped and cheered. He laughed and said,
"Hahaha, this is a wonderful method. I think it's not bad.
As long as someone is willing to learn, I will teach them everything.”
Liu Bei thought for a moment and nodded slowly."
"The strategy offered by the public interest is similar to persuading Mr. Hua Tuo to open a school and teach disciples.
I think it's feasible, but the details need to be carefully planned.”
Liu Feng nodded and said,
"Father is right. Winter is coming soon and we need to rest and recuperate.
It would be a good time to hold a martial arts competition, and let the various troops and counties send out their martial arts experts to compete in the elimination competition.
Then, thirty to forty people would be selected to go to Chengdu for the finals. For people like Third Uncle who could not find a disciple at the moment.
It would be a good opportunity to observe the martial arts competition. Firstly, it could improve the martial spirit of our army.
Increase the cohesiveness of the army and raise morale!
Secondly, we can also find outstanding talents and promote them to become the backbone of the army, increasing the strength of our army!”
Liu Bei clapped his hands and laughed,"
"Alright, it's settled then.
If the martial arts competition was successful this time, it could be held every year in the future to boost the morale of the army.”
Guan Yu stroked his long beard and said happily,"
"Gong Yi is becoming more and more like a strategist now.
He is also good at planning and planning, both civil and military, which is the blessing of Shu.”
"Hahaha, good job for charity."
Zhang Fei patted Liu Feng's shoulder again.
Liu Feng hurriedly tried to be humble, but Xun Yuan said,"
"Your Highness, this subordinate has something to add.”
Actually, Liu Bei had already noticed Deng Ai and Xun Yuan. He could tell that Liu Feng thought highly of them.
Seeing Xun Yuan's calm demeanor, with his many years of experience in searching for wise men, he was able to see that he was not afraid.
He could tell that he was no ordinary person and asked with a smile,
"How should I address you, little general?"
Xun Yuan replied,"
"This subordinate is Li Xun!"
Liu Bei nodded and said,"
"Tell me your thoughts."
Xun Yuan cupped his fists and said,
"Since Your Highness has agreed to the martial competition, why not hold the literary competition as well?
There are many talented people who are not recognized in time. This subordinate feels that we should give scholars a chance to show their talents?
It is the best policy to promote strange people, excavate talents who can stabilize the country and govern the country, and pay equal attention to civil and military affairs.”
Liu Bei smiled and said,"
"What a good idea, General.
It was just that there was no first in literature and no second in martial arts. This matter probably needed the military counselor to judge personally.”
Everyone expressed their own opinions when they heard about the Martial Arts Competition.
Even Zhang Fei made several suggestions.
Thinking of the grand occasion of the conference, he suddenly felt that this winter would not be too boring.
Two hours later, everyone gathered at the gate. Zhang Bao stayed behind to learn from Ma Chao.
The others followed Liu Bei to Chengdu.
Zhang Fei pointed at Zhang Bao and said,
"You have to study hard and turn the Ma Family's spear technique into my Zhang Family's!”
Only now did he feel that he had saved some face. He laughed loudly at Ma Chao and rode off.
