Chapter 495
"Why did the Northern Army fight as soon as it said it would?"

"I don't want to fight, I want to fight you!"

Wan Buping brought back the news of the Pingbei Army, and many people in the Jianghu were filled with righteous indignation and were very angry.

Some people pretended to be humiliated, and shouted loudly: "Why don't we just kill him, kill him so that the world will be turned upside down, and his blood will flow like a river!"

"That's right, we have so many fellow martial artists, and top masters like Senior Brother Wan Buping, what the hell are we afraid of?"

Wan Buping, who was pushed out, showed embarrassment on his face.

He said in a concentrated voice: "Cao Su said that as long as whoever can win the competition, whoever can get his reward."

"It's okay to lose, as long as you have played three games, no matter you win or lose, you will be let go."

force force
After hearing Wan Buping's words, some poor and impoverished warriors' eyes lit up.

That's a nice treat.

People in the Jianghu are in the Jianghu, and it is a day when blood is licked at the edge of a knife, and there will be competition everywhere.

Now it's just a different place to compare, and there are still rewards.

Since it was General Pingbei's reward, it should be pretty good, right?
Wan Buping said calmly: "Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient. The Pingbei Army has already built a ring outside the mountain. In less than half a day, Cao Su will come here and personally unveil the tournament."

The warriors in the rivers and lakes were in an uproar, and how to choose became a big problem.
-
Cao Su came together with several big families in the city.

"Everyone, this is Mount Yangjia."

Several big families were carried by Cao Su to the outskirts of Yangjia Mountain.

Cao Su pointed to the majestic mountains, and the [-] elite cavalrymen who were cutting logs and setting up the competition ground in front of them, and said: "All the people from the rivers and lakes who came to Youzhou Prefecture have been stopped by this officer."

The big families were stunned, and followed Cao Su from the city to here in a daze.

"Why did you start a martial arts tournament? Is it really good to intercept these martial artists?"

Xiao Xu, headed by the head of the Xiao Family Patriarch, asked in a deep voice: "General, since you facilitated the tournament with all your strength, why did you bring our big families along?"

Cao Su asked back with a smile: "What you said, it seems that I have let you suffer."

"Let me ask you, do your major families have some disciples with potential in martial arts?"

Cao Su's voice was not low, and all the big families heard it.

Xiao Xu nodded and said: "Of course there are. Although our major families are based on the family as a group, in fact, many of our family disciples have joined the major sects in the rivers and lakes. Those who worship in various sects and cultivate in their own homes, that also put martial arts first."

"That's right, putting martial arts first, our Youzhou has been a place where martial arts have been practiced since ancient times."

Cao Su said with a smile: "But as the saying goes, good training is not as good as playing well, and good playing is not as good as talent."

"I have not been in Youzhou Mansion for a long time, but I have already noticed that there are some problems in the system and mechanism of your big families. Some disciples with great talents and potentials are rejected by you yourself. , not getting the best resources.”

"This time the martial arts competition is also a grand event in Youzhou Mansion. It is for the disciples of your big families to hone their skills."

To train the disciples of the major families?
Many patriarchs did not expect that Cao Su had this plan.

Is Cao Su really so kind?

Many Patriarchs have no idea and are somewhat confused.

Cao Su continued: "You don't have to worry too much. With me guarding here, no one dares to be presumptuous here."

"I've already laid down perfect rules for this martial arts tournament. Of course, if you think there's anything unreasonable, you can also add your opinions. I, Mr. Cao, always like to accept advice."

Cao Su finished these words with a smile, and then signaled Zhong Jin next to him to send out the regulations of the martial arts tournament.

Zhongjin had drafted a plan long ago, and passed it to the hands of many Patriarchs one by one.

"This is."

All the Patriarchs browsed through the plan, and all of them showed surprise.

One of them is that this game is jointly sponsored by the major families in Youzhou Prefecture, which makes all the family owners puzzled.

Xiao Xu asked: "Dare to ask the general, what does this sponsorship mean?"

"Sponsorship means support and assistance. The major families are the guardians and builders of our Youzhou Prefecture. The success of the martial arts competition depends on the wishes of the major families."

Cao Su spoke well, but he was not the one to talk about the specific prizes for each round.

Zhongjin understood and showed an ugly smile: "Patriarchs, please be safe and don't be impatient. I will discuss the sponsorship with you later."

The masters were confused by Cao Su, and came to the scene in a daze.

It always feels unreliable, but it seems that it is not bad to exercise the disciples in the family.

Such a martial arts competition held by many people from the rivers and lakes can only be done by relying on the coercive measures of the siege of Cao Su's army.
-
Cao Su arrived at the outskirts of Yangjia Mountain, and the soldiers set up a stage for the competition.

The entire school ground became a place for military training, and Jianghu people began to come out of the mountains one after another, and were "invited" to the scene.

The stage for the martial arts competition is not complicated, just use a few logs to make a circle, and the ground in the middle is leveled, which is a simple martial arts arena.

Cao Su and the heads of the major families in Youzhou Prefecture took high positions.

Wan Buping led the top-ranked warriors among the Jianghu warriors to Cao Su.

This should be the first time Wan Buping met Cao Su, and Wan Buping looked at Cao Su.

I saw the famous General Pingbei, dressed in a black battle armor, with a horizontal knife on his waist, tall and burly, looking around, full of evil spirits, he looked like a top battlefield that had killed an unknown number of people warrior.

"I met General Pingbei."

Wan Buping did not dare to take it too seriously, and bowed in front of Cao Su.

Cao Su laughed loudly: "Senior Brother Wan of the Scarlet Cloud Sect, you are being polite."

Unexpectedly, although Cao Su was vicious, he was much "easy to talk" than expected.

He saluted very warmly and invited Wan Buping to sit down.

So on the high platform, Cao Su was in the middle, Xiao Xu sat on the left, and Wan Buping sat on the right.

Line up on both sides, on one side are the masters of Youzhou Prefecture, and on the other side are the top masters among the martial arts.

"Senior Brother Wan, you should understand the rules."

"As for the agreed rewards, it depends on the specific results of the combatants. The more you win, the more rewards you will get."

Cao Su adopts a point system for rewards. One point is earned for a win, and one point is deducted for a loss. Everyone starts with zero points. If they win five games in a row, they can directly get a prize provided by Cao Su himself. share.

"Competing in the same realm, it is not easy to win one game, but it is even more difficult to win five games."

Wan Buping also climbed up step by step from the lower level of the strength realm. He knew that when the strength level was lower, the gap between everyone was not that big, unless someone really practiced the top martial arts, or awakened the supernatural powers against the sky.

While the two were talking, many people from the rivers and lakes had already arrived outside the school grounds.

Outside the school grounds were part of the Jianghu people, while Cao Su's army surrounded them into another circle.

The banner is waving, and the swords and halberds are like forests.

The serious army is in stark contrast to the noisy warriors.

Not long after, Xiao Lanxin came to the high platform under the watchful eyes of many Jiang Hu people.

"Miss Xiao."

Cao Su nodded slightly, which was regarded as the etiquette of meeting each other.

When Xiao Lanxin saw Cao Su, she felt sad for no reason, tears almost fell from her eyes.

This time when the Xiao family came to Youzhou Mansion, they lost too much and gained too little.

Now they still have to participate in some kind of martial arts competition to escape, and many people from the Jianghu are staring at their Xiao family, Xiao Lanxin is really suffering and can't tell.

On the contrary, I feel that I can find a long-lost sense of security on the high platform at this moment.

Who knew that Cao Su's next sentence would make her feel cold and cold.

"When is Miss Xiao going to compete on stage?"

Cao Su looked at Xiao Lanxin with a smile.

Xiao Lanxin's heart sank.

She also wants to compete on stage?

How could she, the dignified daughter of the Xiao family, compete on stage like a warrior in the Jianghu?

When Xiao Lanxin heard this, she was immediately ashamed and angry.

His face was blue for a while, then red for a while, but he was speechless.

Cao Su didn't have time to take care of this daughter of Xiao's family who was once arrogant but was now being severely beaten by the Jianghu.

Wan Buping gave Xiao Lanxin a dissatisfied look, and said lightly: "Miss Lanxin, just follow General Pingbei's rules."

Wan Buping's attitude is obvious, and he is ready to stand with General Pingbei.

Although Xiao Lanxin is only in her teens, she can be regarded as a person who has been in the rivers and lakes now, so how can she not hear the implication.

Immediately, his face turned pale again, and he exited the high platform in a daze.

Not long after, horns sounded in the barracks.

The rumble of cavalry galloped in the camp, the high platform was erected, and the school field was performing martial arts, the atmosphere had been completely heightened.

"Wind, wind, wind!"

The Pingbei army shouted loudly, and many people in the Jianghu couldn't help but tremble when they saw such a scene.

The individual combat power of the Pingbei Army may not be very strong, but in the army formation, the individual combat power is only a part. The overall morale and the combination of battle formations are the comprehensive combat power of an army.

Cao Su sat firmly on the high platform, while Zhong Jin stepped down to organize a martial arts competition.

According to Cao Su, the orthodox name of this conference is "Yangjiashan Yanwu".

Zhongjin found a powerful master with a loud voice to host the event.

"Today is sunny and sunny, it's time to practice martial arts."

"Following the order of General Pingbei Cao Su, all warriors participating in the martial arts performance must accumulate three points, and those who are less than three points are not allowed to leave the martial arts arena."

"Those who accumulate five points will receive another reward."

After Zhongjin finished speaking, some Jiang Hu who were thinking about the martial arts system slowly came to their senses.

"How do you say that you can leave after just three games?"

"You have to win three games. If you can't win, you can't leave."

"No, it's not right to win three games. What if you lose one of them? Points will be deducted if you lose!"

Cao Su fooled people over first, and then implemented another point system in his own army. The more talents he could win, the more he could directly accumulate military merit points, and he was expected to become a higher-ranking officer.

If you become a higher-level officer, you will have more martial arts resources in the Pingbei Army.

And more martial arts resources can make oneself stronger and get more points, so these are complementary.

In the Pingbei Army, many officers are eager to try.

There are many martial artists here, and everyone is a point.

According to Cao Su's reminder, Zhong Jin first arranged for the martial arts performance of the lower rank.

The lower level of strength is also divided into seven, eight, and nine levels.

The Qi and blood warriors who have not reached the strength realm all sit on the outside and watch the battle. By watching the martial arts contest of the strength realm warriors, they can achieve the purpose of improving their martial arts cultivation.

Before many family disciples participated in the competition, the Centurion of Strength in the Pingbei Army entered the battle first.

The centurion who fought first was a man from Liangzhou.

Li Niu, a man from Liangzhou, belonged to Hu Qi's battalion at the beginning. At that time, he was just a blood warrior.

Later, during the Battle of the Demon in Liangzhou, Li Niu was recruited by Cao Su and became Cao Su's subordinate.

Not long after, Cao Su led his army back to the capital of God. During this process, Li Niu successfully broke through and became a warrior of the ninth rank.

Li Niu's breakthrough allowed him to be promoted from Shichang to Centurion.

At that time, he was still a centurion of the imperial army, and he could be regarded as ascending to the sky in one step, becoming a middle class.

Now, following General Pingbei, he traveled to Youzhou thousands of miles away.

During the trip to Youzhou, Cao Jun's movements were unknown, and it was heard that many soldiers were sent by Cao Su to store up troops.

The soldier hoarding system is a system vigorously promoted by Cao Su.

But in the minds of many soldiers, farming is farming, and they have already become chiefs or even centurions, and they have to run to farm, which is really demeaning.

Cao Su had no choice but to change the concept of soldier hoarding in everyone's mind step by step.

One of the most important points is that the generals under his command will personally supervise and carry out the hoarding system.

Therefore, he specially dispatched Li Li and Wu Ming, two of his most trusted officials, to go to Tuxian Mountain to start a troop hoard.

The resistance to the hoarding system reflects the low morale of the army under his command.

In other words, the long-term stability made the soldiers under his command a little at a loss.

Therefore, Cao Su specially pulled out to train troops, and also found an excellent training target.

A wave of Jiang Hu martial arts who took the initiative to come to your door.

Most of the warriors in the Jianghu dare not oppose the imperial court. Although they call out "dog officials" on their lips, everyone has a name, a surname, a head and a face, and they all have power and interests behind them, so they dare not easily become an enemy of Cao Su.

As for the numerous undisciplined warriors, they all follow the herd.

At the foot of Yangjia Mountain, holding this martial arts competition instantly boosted the morale of the army under his command a lot.

The soldiers who had nowhere to declare their strength gathered around Yangjia Mountain.

And martial artists in the rivers and lakes found that in addition to being less free, after the safety was guaranteed, they were not in a hurry.

They saw the first military attache in the Pingbei Army to come out.

"Pingbei Army, Li Niu, centurion, please enlighten me from your comrades in the rivers and lakes."

Li Niu is a typical northwestern man, with a buzzing voice, holding a long halberd in his hand, dressed in black armor, as strong as a calf.

"Strength Realm Ninth Rank Battle!"

In the stands, Cao Su took the initiative to remind many Jianghu people to play.

Many Jianghu people looked at each other in blank dismay, all hesitant.

Li Niu's voice was as deep as thunder, and he said in a loud voice: "Is there a comrade in the world to fight?"

He was just asking for a simple invitation, but in the ears of the Jianghu people, these words were somewhat provocative.

In the big arena, no one is going to fight Li Niu?

Soon, under the urging of the disciples of the sect, a master of the ninth rank of strength in Jizhou came to the stage to compete.

"Bibi?"

Li Niu put down the halberd in his hand.

His long halberd weighs about tens of catties, and it would be difficult for most people to lift it, but Li Niu was born with great strength. After breaking through the realm of strength, he specially practiced martial arts to increase his strength. Now he has the strength of thousands of catties, and he can easily swing the long halberd in his hand .

The ninth rank master from Jizhou looked thinner, fighting with a scimitar.

After the two stood still, the Jizhou master made the first move.

The body turned into a gust of wind, holding a scimitar, and attacked Li Niu's Xiasan Road.

Li Niu lowered his long halberd, calmly and unhurriedly made a "fixed halberd skill", using a long handle to challenge the enemy to deal with it.

Jizhou's ninth-rank master scimitar hit Li Niu's halberd.

With a sound of "ding", a series of sparks were cut out.

Li Niu stopped still, raised the halberd suddenly, and at the same time turned his body, grabbed the halberd with his arms and swung it.

The long halberd made a big circle in the air.

This swing of the halberd is the most common "male dancer" in the army, and all Pingbei soldiers know a little bit.

The ninth-rank masters in Jizhou, relying on their agility, saw Li Niu approaching aggressively.

Quickly jumped up to dodge, the halberd passed under his feet.

The halberd wind is sharp and fierce.
