It was almost June, in Xuchang, Yingchuan.

In the backyard of Cao's mansion, Guo Jia quickly walked over, looked at Cao Cao who was feeding fish not far away, bowed and said softly, "Lord, Chen Jiao is back."

"How to say, did Shi Xie agree to send troops?"

Cao Cao did not turn around and continued to sprinkle bait into the pool, only to see the fish swaying their tails and scrambling to fight.

"He agreed and agreed to send 50,000 troops to echo our army." Guo Jia replied. After saying that, a hint of eagerness flashed in his eyes: "Lord, Chen Deng and his son are trying to stabilize Xuzhou. Now the soldiers of the three armies are ready to fight, so it's time to send troops to Nanyang."

Guo Jia was worried that Gongsun Zan could not stop Yuan Shao anymore, and they had to fight quickly and take Nanyang so that they could resist Yuan and Zhang wholeheartedly.

Cao Cao waved out all the bait in his hand, brushed it off, turned his head to look at Guo Jia, smiled, feeling a little moody, and said firmly: "It's time to send troops."

"The order Cao Ren was ordered to prepare for the army's expedition. In addition, Pegasus told Liu Bei that he would not have to care about people's livelihood for the first time, and that he would lead the powerful men of Guanlong to gather in Wu Pass and prepare to break the pass."

Looking at the personal guard retreating, Guo Jia's eyes flashed with concern and finally said, "Lord, Jia knows that you want to appoint Liu Bei, but this person is not a person in the pool. Lord, you must be careful!"

Seeing Cao Cao frowned slightly, Guo Jia said again: "Lord, as far as Jia knows, after Liu Bei entered Guanzhong, he ordered Guan Yu to station Wuguan, while he himself went to and from the powerful people in Guanlong, and had a great chat."

"Jia suspected that Liu Bei had selfish intentions and was afraid of becoming independent. The lord must defend himself, and at least it should not be allowed to become bigger. He should send an important official to Guanzhong to govern it on his behalf and weaken his influence."

After hearing Guo Jia say that, Cao Cao frowned slightly. Since Liu Bei left Guanzhong, he was also uneasy, but he made this decision himself, but it was difficult to change.

After thinking for a long time, Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "When the filial piety is sent to Guanzhong at this time, I am afraid that Liu Bei will be dissatisfied. It is better to let him conquer Wuguan and speak after the war is over."

Guo Jia knew that Cao Cao was afraid to face it, and would rather believe that Liu Bei was really loyal, so he immediately advised: "Lord, if the war is over, it is probably too late."

"The lord can only make the reason for this battle. I will send a general or an important official, Jie Yue Guanzhong, to investigate Liu Bei's reaction. The lord has already trusted him to lead his troops to capture Guanzhong. Now the battle in Wuguan is reasonable and should also send other lords to serve as the leader."

"But the commander sent by him must be both wise and brave. Once Liu Bei is unwilling to be loyal to him for half a year, he will rebel. In this way, our army will not completely lose control of Guanzhong."

"If he is loyal, it will not be too late for the lord to give him another reward when the battle ends."

Cao Cao closed his eyes and pondered. He regretted not listening to many scholars' words. If you know that if Liu Bei really had bad intentions, Xuchang would be uneasy.

"When Fengxiao thought it was appropriate to send someone to?"

"Lord, Jia thought that both Zhong Yao and Cheng Yu could do it. These two were full of talent and respect. On the one hand, they could convince Liu Bei, and on the other hand, they could overwhelm the many powerful people in Guanzhong."

Guo Jia bowed and replied.

"Then let Zhong Yao go. Cheng Yu still needs to handle trivial matters by my side." Cao Cao thought.

"It's great. The lord can move Zhong Yao to the Shizhong, serve as the Sili School Captain, and take the fake Jieyue to supervise Guanzhong. In this way, even if Liu Bei is determined to rebel, he needs to think about it."

Guo Jia clasped his fists and said in a deep voice.

"According to Fengxiao's words, Zhong Yao was sent to supervise Guanzhong to Anhou. In addition, Liu Bei was moved to the General of the Guard, and was granted the title of Anlu Hou, and rewarded thousands of gold for rewards."

Cao Cao specially added.

Early June,

Jingzhou, Xiangyang City.

Xiangyang City has been crowded these days, and there are many business trips and travels. On this day, Xiangyang City is even more lively, with people from all over the country.

What's surprising is that everyone who comes is burly and looks like they have two tricks, just like they are for the upcoming martial arts ceremony.

The martial arts examination is a good opportunity for poor families to reach the top in one step, and it is also the first system to be elected in all dynasties. There are many people who come to try it.

Because of the gathering of warriors from all over the world and the gathering of many people in other county towns, the stalls and vendors in Xiangyang City were all money.

So much so that on Xuanwu Street in Xiangyang,

"Don't miss it when you pass by. The ancestral treasure sword is given to someone who is destined to be. Holding this sword will definitely win the championship in one battle and win the first martial arts top scholar."

"Weapons are the souls of generals, and guns are the kings among soldiers. The overlords only need 1,000 texts to light steel guns."

At first glance, the whole street is in a weird style.

All of them sell all kinds of weapons, and there are even elixirs. Just sell fake medicines, but there are quite a lot of people watching and buying them.

There is no way, it's like fighting the ultimate old monster. They want to update their equipment, but it doesn't make much sense to sharpen their guns in the face of battle.

As for the inner city garrison troops, they were patrolling in a queue.

I saw these people wearing armor, brightly dressed in armor, each with solemn faces, and patrolling Xiangyang with their guns.

They have to be responsible for maintaining order and at the same time, they have to guide these contestants to enter the venue well. The venue was requisitioned for three days.

At this time, the palace is in charge.

Zhang Xiu slowly put down the bamboo slips in his hand and stretched his body. These were the registered contest lists. There were too many. He had been looking at them since yesterday. It was estimated that more than a thousand contestants came.

This was a bit more popular than he expected.

Among them, I don’t know if he missed it or what happened, but there were no military generals he was familiar with. Most of them were mud-legged farmers.

Looking outside the mansion, it was already three strokes of sunrise.

He wanted to wait until the screening to the end, but after all, the martial arts ceremony was held for the first time, so he still had to attend the opening ceremony.

......

At the same time, the school site.

At this time, the schoolyard was already full of people. Except for the waiting area, the onlookers had already lost the surrounding area. At this time, they were all waiting for Zhang Xiu to arrive.

In the waiting area, there were more than a thousand contestants.

There are those who are bare-handed, some use hoes and shovels, and even some use stones. There are a variety of weapons. Not to mention eighteen weapons, thirty-eight types can be done.

These people, some of them are nervous and sweat-filled, and many are eager to try. This is a good opportunity to show in front of the world.

Among them, a strong man was big and circumference, with a fat head and ears, holding a big axe, hurriedly among a group of thin people, talking broadly,

"It's not that I blew, the mountain-opening axe in my hand reached a huge magnitude. If it weren't for the wrong time, even that guy Lu Bu might not be able to support me with three axes."

"It's a pity that Lu Bu is dead. It's really a big regret in life that he failed to fight with him with his own hands." Xing Daorong held the axe with regret on his face.

Everyone around: "????"

Good, are you bragging so much these days?

If you are the only one who can support the three axes, are you afraid that the three axes will surrender on the spot?
