This warrior is so fierce

Chapter 396 Cheers
Two days later, Xiguan.

Cao Jun, who was stationed with more than ten thousand fine riders, ushered in Cao Pingxi who had returned with a full load.

Cao Su brought a cartload of grain, in addition to the imperial court's rewarding division who came upstream on a warship, and they also arrived on the same day.

Cao Jun's morale, which had been somewhat low, skyrocketed again in an instant.

The soldiers cheered long live, roaring loudly.

They were outside Xiguan for several days in a row, with bonfires and feasts.

The defenders above Xiguan don't know why Cao Jun is so happy. They are locked outside and cannot get in, but why do they feel happier than they stay inside the pass?
It wasn't until the caravan that came from the pass told about Cao Jun's big banquet that they knew that Cao Jun had come to reward him from the court.

This is somewhat delicious.

Although it is said that Cao Jun pacified Xizhou and made great military exploits.

But the defenders above Xiguan, which one is not exposed to the wind and the sun all day, has hard work without credit.

Such favoritism is really heart-breaking.

Sometimes this is the case, not suffering from few but suffering from inequality.

The guards think that everyone eats the imperial food, there is no reason for you to eat meat and I can't even have a mouthful of soup.

Coupled with the lack of food and salaries for the past few months, morale suddenly plummeted.

What's worse is that Cao Jun seems to be doing it on purpose.

A few days later, Cao Jun suddenly shouted loudly, and began to hold wrestling competitions outside Xiguan.

Cao Su has always firmly grasped the construction of spiritual civilization in the army.

The current conditions are not allowed, otherwise he will invent a "cuju" for everyone to play.

When conditions do not permit, we have to use "wrestling matches" to enrich entertainment life first.

This "wrestling match" was created by Cao Su.

The rule adopted is that as long as one party lands on the ground above the knee, it is a failure, and the winner is determined by a fall.

The soldiers had never played wrestling before, but now that there is this recreational activity, and the whole army participates, the winner may be rewarded by General Pingxi, which immediately stimulated the enthusiasm for registration.

In the end, Cao Su adopted the system of selecting a warrior from a team of hundreds to participate in the competition, and selected a total of [-] blood warriors to participate in the competition.

Martial artists above the strength realm are not allowed to participate.

On this day, Cao Su sat high in the high-level ring in the army.

On both sides are Zhang Ke, Luo Yi, Li Li and other powerful generals in the army, and after that are the generals of the Changshui and Huqi battalions.

Finally, there were Shi Yong and Ma Chao beside Cao Su, and many high-ranking officials sat on the high platform, pointing to the martial arts field below.

Soon, the two hundred warriors who were selected all went to the martial arts arena.

After the referee gave the order, all the warriors shook hands to pay tribute, and then put on a tiger crouching posture. In an instant, sumo wrestled, circling and stalemate, kicking each other with legs and knees, and each performed techniques such as pounce, pull, throw, and trip to win.

"It turned out to be a scuffle. I thought it was a one-on-one match."

Beside Cao Su, Li Li felt that the scene was spectacular.

Two hundred warriors fought hand-to-hand, even if they were blood warriors, there was a lot of movement.

Moreover, these two hundred warriors are all strong men selected from the army, each of them is tall and mighty.

Cao Su smiled and watched the warriors under his command wrestle.

"Wrestling is better than practicing martial arts. Performing martial arts also has the risk of injury. After all, wrestling is a competitive sport, and the probability of injury is much lower than directly chopping with a knife."

"Your Excellency is amazing, you can think of this second move. In this way, all the energy of the soldiers will have a place to vent."

Beside Cao Su, Zhang Ke smiled in a low voice, and patted Cao Su's flattery a little.

In the entire Martial arts arena, the atmosphere was very hot.

Except for the soldiers who were on guard, all the other soldiers gathered around to watch the game.

In Cao Ying, cheers continued to sound.

It is only a few miles away from Xiguan, and the deafening cheers can be heard clearly from Xiguan.

"What's wrong with this?"

"What's wrong?"

"Why is Cao Jun so happy? Do they have white steamed buns to eat every day?"

The defenders on the West Gate were thinking.

Being a soldier is a boring thing at first, but when everyone finds that someone eats better, wears warm clothes, has more honors, and is happier than them, they suddenly feel mixed feelings.

Not long after, Zhu Ming, the guard of the West Gate who got the news, hurried over.

Zhu Ming is 37 years old this year, with a broad forehead and a broad face, and a powerful voice. He comes dressed in Xuanming heavy armor, and on both sides are the generals of Xiguan closely following him.

"General, Cao Su seems to be engaging in some kind of 'wrestling competition'."

The general guarding the pass, who had found out the news, passed the news to Zhu Ming.

Zhu Ming walked to the top of the tower and looked towards Cao Ying.

In Cao Ying, there were waves of cheers after waves, which was indeed very disturbing.

Zhu Ming didn't expect that Cao Su had such rich means.

The first is to reward, and the second is to mobilize the atmosphere. Before anyone saw it, the soldiers in Xiguan were made popular by Cao Su.

He was also forced to open a warehouse to release a wave of food before to stabilize the morale of the army.

This matter has not yet been settled, and another disaster occurs.

Can really toss.

"General, Cao Su's skills are exhausted. The more violent the disturbance outside the pass, the more it proves that he has nothing to do." In Zhu Ming's camp, some generals mocked Cao Su for only playing tricks.

This doesn't sound like much of a problem.

But the immediate problem must be solved, and victory cannot be declared by mental suppression.

So Zhu Ming just laughed it off, and looked at the generals from the corner of his narrow eyes: "Brothers, do you have a good solution to this matter?"

Some generals immediately said: "Since this is the case, how about our army also hold a wave of 'wrestling competition'? I watched Cao Jun's wrestling competition, it is very simple, and it should not be too difficult to run."

Zhu Ming glanced at the general, but did not speak.

This is obviously not a good suggestion. I have already learned a wave of rewards before, and now I will learn another wave?
He, Zhu Ming, was born in the Habayashi Army, but he has no face to do such a scandal that he can only imitate.

Another general said: "It's better to let the soldiers rest for two days. Now that Cao Su is guarding us outside Xiguan, why do we have to check back and forth so hard all day?"

He said this because he wanted to grab Cao Su's wool.

But although it is true that Cao Jun is stationed outside Xiguan, he spends his whole day performing martial arts, running circles, and training, and has no other functions. Even if a person who passes the pass walks to the gate of the camp, no one may pay attention to him.

Another person said: "Why don't you invite Cao Su to the customs for a banquet, and let's sit down and have a good talk."

Zhu Ming was even more angry when he heard this.

There is no one reliable in the civil and military affairs of the hall. The bureaucratic characteristics in this Xiguan are too obvious. These generals, all of whom are full of food and drink, have been completely abolished.

What are you talking about, what are you talking about? Didn’t you see that Zhu Ming was just trying to prevent Cao Su from entering the customs?
Zhu Ming doesn't know how long he can get stuck, but he has no other choice now.

The first emperor sent him to Xiguan, which proved that he no longer trusted the Yang brothers.

Zhu Ming doesn't care who will be the emperor in the future, but what Yang Ming and Yang Rui are doing at this moment is definitely not what the late emperor wanted to see.

As for falling to the internal servant group, there is no such argument, but he, Zhu Ming, is unwilling to join forces with the generals.

I heard that Cao Su was brought out by the right general Qin Hu. Among the four generals, Qin Hu and Yang Ming were in the same spirit.

That is equivalent to Cao Su, who is in the line of generals in his identity.

"Don't let it go, don't let anyone in."

With a flash in Zhu Ming's eyes, he turned away from the cheering Cao Jun camp and left the tower.

Seeing Zhu Ming's ugly face, everyone thought that Zhu Ming was still worried about the military affairs, so they all kept silent and followed Zhu Ming back to the pass.

Cao Su didn't expect Zhu Ming to be so calm.

For several days in a row, he was blocked by Zhu Ming in Xiguan, in a dilemma.

At the same time, someone in Shendu finally got in stable contact with him again.

After the emperor sent his funeral into the museum, he entered the final procedure of burial.

With the emperor's corpse buried in the ground, the whole god was about to storm, and it was extremely turbulent.

The official group headed by the general Yang Ming gained more voice and support in the court, and there were also voices in the palace that turned to Yang Ming.

A few days ago, there was a fight between the centurions of the two imperial guards.

The scale of the fighting was not large, but the Imperial Army had always had strict jurisdiction, and the sergeants rarely had civil strife.

This time the two hundred-man teams were fighting with each other, clearly because they were in different groups, and there was a deviation in their positions.

If the positions are different, it is easy to regard the other party as a stranger.

So under the instigation of some accidents, the anger of different people will rise and they will fight.

The fight with weapons caused a small-scale riot in the forbidden army. In the end, the right general Qin Hu came out in person.

Although this matter has been suppressed, the struggle between the two sides has become more and more intense visible to the naked eye.

And Yang Ming and Qin Hu's desire to urge Cao Su to enter the customs as soon as possible is also stronger.

In late February, Qin Hu dispatched Wang Meng, Wei Kai and others to lead hundreds of elite soldiers to Xiguan.

Specially deal with the entry of Cao Su's army into the customs.
