Great Military Division

Chapter 342 Zhou Yu: If you refuse to accept it, you will be hit, but dare you fight?
The mandarin duck army station.

Chinese army tent.

Deng Peng sat on the front seat of the coach, his legs crossed, his mouth turned into a lotus flower, his bright eyes were full of joy, and he looked at everything in the tent triumphantly, as if this place already belonged to him.

"Tsk tsk!"

Feeling the majesty of the general of the Yuanyang Army, Deng Peng imagined that he led the Yuanyang Army to charge into battle, stepped on the corpse of the enemy chief, and laughed wildly.

This taste.
Not to mention how cool it is.

Even better, this fantasy will soon come true.

Because, my son was successfully admitted to the juvenile genius class and went to be a student of the emperor. The mandarin duck army must re-elect the main general. As Deng Zhi's deputy before, Deng Peng is naturally the best candidate.

As for Deng Yi?

It's not easy to say anything, but still be the chief general?
Ha ha!

Maybe the fighter plane was delayed before the order was finished.

This kind of person is naturally a good player in the charge, but he is not qualified to be the leader at all!
What does he compare himself to?
With His Majesty the Emperor's wisdom and martial arts, he will definitely choose himself as the chief general!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Cool-!
However, just as Deng Peng secretly celebrated.

suddenly
"Report—!"

There was a hasty announcement from outside the tent.

Deng Peng looked up.

However, seeing his own soldiers rushing into the account, their expressions were a little flustered: "Lieutenant, something is wrong."

Deng Peng frowned fiercely, waved his big hand, and sternly reprimanded: "Look at how cowardly you are, don't panic, what's the matter, just speak up."

The soldier took a deep breath and cupped his fists together: "Lieutenant, I heard that someone from above has been sent to be the chief general of our Mandarin Duck Army."

"what?"

Deng Peng stood up in embarrassment, staring at his eyes, the size of a cow's egg: "What did you say? Someone is sent from above to be the chief general of our mandarin duck army?"

"That's right!"

The soldier nodded affirmatively: "I heard that he is a young general at the age of seventeen. He passed the court examination and became an official with the art of war and classics. He has no actual combat experience before."

"Bullshit!"

"It's bullshit!"

Deng Peng gritted his teeth angrily, and the muscles at the corners of his lips kept twitching: "Didn't it mean that even those who are admitted to the court by the imperial court still have to start from the bottom? How could it be possible to become the leader of the Mandarin Duck Army?!"

"Could it be."

At this point, Deng Peng began to think wildly: "This person has a connection in the court? Or bribed someone? This is why he became the leader of the Yuanyang Army?"

"no!"

The soldier shook his head and said with absolute certainty: "Your Majesty personally promoted him. According to gossip, His Majesty thinks highly of this man, and he also said that General Deng can be a good general of the Mandarin Duck Army. .”

"Bullshit!"

Deng Peng obviously didn't agree, and the anger in his heart burned fiercely: "Our general is a talented person who can be admitted to the genius class, how can he be compared with fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs!"

"Whether he is the Commander of the Mandarin Duck Army ordered by His Majesty or not, I, Deng Peng, just refuse to accept it, and I just don't recognize him. Who can do anything to me?"

Just at this time, three people broke into the tent.

These three people are none other than Zhu Tong, Zhou Yu and Deng Yi.

As His Majesty's bodyguard, Zhu Tong held His Majesty's imperial edict in his hand, glared at his superior Deng Peng, and shouted sharply, "You are Deng Peng, the left captain of the Mandarin Duck Army?"

Although Deng Peng was upset, how dare he disobey the emperor's orders, and Deng Yi kept giving him winks, so he swallowed his anger, admitted it temporarily, and bowed his hands in return: "It's the last general."

Zhu Tong's eyes flickered fiercely, and he glanced at the edict in his hand: "Don't you know His Majesty's edict? Why don't you hurry down and line up to listen to the edict?"

"whispering sound!"

Deng Peng suppressed his anger, bypassed the Shuai case, and transferred it to the account. He was listed behind Zhou Yu on the left, with Deng Yi, bowed his body and handed over his hands, waiting for the edict to be read out.

Watching this scene, Zhou Yu, standing proudly in the center, naturally understood that the opponent was Deng Zhi's confidant, Deng Peng, and that he was parachuted into the mandarin duck army's chief general. Allow.

This person has a very high status in the army, he is Captain Zuo, if he cannot be convinced, I am afraid that he will not be able to sit securely in the position of the general of the Mandarin Duck Army.

"General Zhou." Zhu Tong said respectfully.

"Yes." Zhou Yu cupped his hands.

"The left and right captains are here, let's read out His Majesty's edict."

"kindness."

Immediately.

Zhu Tong unfolded the imperial edict and read aloud: "Deng Zhi, the leader of the Mandarin Duck Army, is only twenty-seven years old and has many talents. In the spring and March of the second year of Zhongxing, Gui Chou, he was admitted to the Juvenile Genius Class for further studies. Therefore, there is no vacancy for the leader of the Mandarin Duck Army."

"I heard that those who want to rule the army must first choose generals. If they are not good, they will be defeated! Zhou Yu, a native of Shu County, is proficient in the art of war, has a good plan, and is good at commanding troops. I highly appreciate him and promote him to be the leader of the Yuanyang Army."

Zhou Yu took the edict with both hands: "My minister Zhou Yu accepts the edict."

Deng Yi and Deng Peng responded in unison: "The last general, Deng Peng (Deng Yi), accepts the order."

Zhu Tong let out a breath and patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder: "General, the rest is up to you."

Zhou Yu smiled lightly, nodded and said, "Don't worry, the general, the general will have his own way to deal with it."

Zhu Tongen said: "In that case, I will take my leave."

Zhou Yu personally sent him out of the barracks and watched him ride his horse away before returning to the barracks.

But the moment Zhou Yu stepped into the military tent, he saw Deng Peng sitting in the main seat, staring at him fiercely with a pair of tiger eyes, and those eyes wished that he could not kill himself.

Beside him, Deng Yi frowned, as if trying to dissuade him, and when he saw himself returning to the military tent, he took the initiative to greet him: "General Zhou, Captain Zuo Zuo. He. He. No."

Before Deng Yi could finish speaking, Zhou Yu interrupted with a wave of his hand, smiled lightly at him, and nodded his head, expressing that he already understood what he meant, so there was no need to repeat it.

Immediately.

Zhou Yu went straight to Deng Peng, and said in a cold voice: "This general thinks that you miss Deng Zhi, so I can forgive you once, but if you don't give up the position of master, don't blame this general for being rude to you."

"Humph!"

Deng Peng didn't take Zhou Yu seriously at all. After looking him up and down for a long while, he sneered, "You alone? You deserve to be the leader of my mandarin duck army? You're simply overconfident!"

"Don't think that there is an edict from His Majesty, you are the leader of the Yuanyang Army. Let me tell you, the captain of the school is the first to refuse to accept it. The Yuanyang Army is from top to bottom. They are all fierce soldiers on the battlefield. They will definitely not accept it!"

"Simple!"

Zhou Yu didn't seem to care about it, and with a stride, he jumped in front of Deng Peng, thrusting out a tiger fist obliquely, and strangled Deng Peng's lapel with great precision.

Deng Peng was also taken aback!
He couldn't believe that the opponent's attack was so quick, and before he could react, he grabbed the skirt of his shirt and took the initiative!

"Despicable! How dare you sneak attack!"

Deng Peng yelled, held Zhou Yu's wrist with his backhand, and then twisted it violently, as if he wanted to twist Zhou Yu's arm into a twist, so as to give him a bad impression.

But who would have thought!

On the opposite side, the slightly thin and handsome gentleman is actually a practicing family. Deng Peng twisted it with all his strength, but the other party remained motionless, and even let out a sneer with the corners of his lips slightly raised:
"that's it?"

That disdainful tone combined with this sneer, the lethality was beyond the charts, and it made Deng Peng furious, and the ruthlessness in his heart surged like a volcano erupting.

"Chop Suey, get out."

Before the words were finished, Zhou Yu slammed over his shoulder, dragged Deng Peng directly from the main seat, drew a 360-degree arc in the air, and fell to the ground with a bang.

This is not finished!
The next moment, Zhou Yu kicked Deng Peng decisively in the lower abdomen. The huge force actually slid him several feet away like kicking a football before stopping.

Although Zhou Yu succeeded in one blow and had the upper hand, only he knew that the kick just now was too hard, and his pair of silk and satin square-toed shoes collided with the opponent's leather armor, causing his big toe to hurt.

But even so, Zhou Yu still stood like a strong pine, staring at Deng Peng on the ground with disdain, the general's style must be controlled to death, otherwise he will not be able to suppress it once, and he will not be able to suppress it again and again.

Cough!

Deng Peng coughed twice in succession, covered his lower abdomen with his hands, and gritted his teeth. He never expected that the other party had just arrived at the barracks, and would beat him up painfully, without showing any face.

"Fuck!"

Deng Peng was so angry that he swears directly, and immediately slammed his tiger fist on the ground. With the help of the strength on his arms, he jumped up from the ground, like a gust of wind, and went straight to Zhou Yu.

but
Before Deng Peng's iron fist could be swung out, a gloomy light had already stopped on his neck, less than half an inch away from the huge Adam's apple, as if if he took half a step forward, the sword edge would pass through his throat and die unexpectedly .

Gollum!

Deng Peng's throat rolled, and he was shocked.

He also practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his swordsmanship is superb, but compared to Zhou Yu, he seemed to be much weaker. The opponent's speed was too fast, and he didn't even realize it, so he killed him.

"Here is His Majesty's edict, no matter whether you accept it or not, I, Zhou Yu, am the general of the Mandarin Duck Army. Based on your previous actions alone, this general will kill you on the spot. Believe it or not, Your Majesty will not even ask!"

Zhou Yu's eyes were sharp, revealing his murderous aura, enveloping Deng Peng, as if if the other party dared to do anything, he would kill him instantly with a sword piercing through his throat.

"General, calm down!"

Deng Yi hurriedly dissuaded him: "Lieutenant Zuo, he, he, he, in fact, did not, did not have any malicious intentions, you, you must, don't."

hum!
Before Deng Yi could finish speaking, Zhou Yu put back his sword and returned to his seat, "I know that you are dissatisfied, but it's just because I don't have actual combat experience."

"Well!"

Zhou Yu didn't bother to talk nonsense, and immediately gave a solution: "Let's have a competition. If this general loses, I will voluntarily write to His Majesty the Emperor to give you the position of the mandarin duck army's chief general, how about it?"

Deng Peng couldn't help being surprised: "You really mean what you say?"

Zhou Yu clanged: "If a gentleman says a word, four horses are hard to follow!"

"it is good!"

Deng Peng agreed without hesitation: "How do you compare? I, Deng Peng, just accepted the move. Just now I underestimated the enemy. If we had a formal duel, I might not lose to you."

"Humph!"

Zhou Yu snorted softly, and his eyes were full of contempt for Deng Peng: "Lieutenant Zuo, if you are the leader of the Mandarin Duck Army, are you just fighting with others? Is this what the leader of the Mandarin Duck Army would do?"

Deng Peng was less talkative than Zhou Yu, and he simply didn't talk nonsense, and waved his hand: "Then tell me, how do you compare!"

Zhou Yu smiled lightly: "It's very simple! The Mandarin Duck Army is famous for its formation of mandarin ducks. As the leader of the Mandarin Duck Army, it is naturally better than arranging troops. This is what the leader of the Mandarin Duck Army should do."

"Ha ha!"

Deng Peng looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "Just because of you, you want to compete with me? You must know that I have been in the Yuanyang Army since the beginning. I have fought dozens of battles, and I have never failed. The Yuanyang formation has long been integrated into my blood. You You actually want to compete with me?"

However, Zhou Yu looked indifferent, and said indifferently: "If I can't defeat you with what you are best at, how can I, Zhou Yu, become the leader of the Mandarin Duck Army?"

"it is good!"

Deng Peng was in a good mood, and he felt that he would win without a doubt: "How to compare is up to you. I, Deng Peng, don't want others to say that I bully you. If this is the case, the victory is useless."

"As expected of the Deng family, there is a bit of a pattern."

Zhou Yu praised casually, and then said: "Since this is the case, the general will be decided. You and I will each choose a hundred healthy soldiers from the army. After five days, there will be a duel in the school field. Whoever can fight to the end will win. "

"So Easy?"

Deng Peng couldn't believe it.

He thought that the opponent would at least allow him to maintain an advantage in terms of rules, but he never thought that the opponent would be able to seek fairness.

"That's right!"

Zhou Yu nodded without attaching any conditions.

"it is good!"

Deng Peng waved his hand and said loudly: "I promise you, we will have a showdown in the school field in five days' time!"

Zhou Yu smiled lightly, nodded and said, "It's a deal."

Deng Peng raised his head and stared in disbelief: "Hmph! I, Deng Peng, will let you know which one is better, actual combat or military art!"

*****
Xinye, Deng's family.

Octagonal Pavilion.

It was rare for Deng Xun not to tidy up his flower garden, but to sit face to face with Deng Tong, with a happy smile: "I knew that Zhi'er would definitely be able to do it, although it is only No. pride."

call-

Deng Tong heaved a sigh of relief, his face couldn't hide the joy: "My nephew couldn't believe that Zhi'er actually passed the exam. Fortunately, the old patriarch spent a lot of money to make up for Zhi'er, otherwise he might not be able to pass the exam. become!"

"Thank you, Patriarch!"

Speaking of this, Deng Tong bowed deeply to express his gratitude.

Deng Xun waved his hand to signal to get up: "Nephew, why bother to say thank you, this is what an old man should do as a patriarch. If you ask me, Zhi'er has to work hard enough, otherwise how could he be admitted to this young genius class."

"It's all right this time."

Deng Xun secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Zhi'er has become a disciple of the emperor, and the future is bound to be limitless. Our Deng clan will surely usher in revitalization again. Glory to our ancestors!"

"Furthermore, this old man has a feeling that the achievements of His Majesty the current Emperor will far exceed those of Guangwu and even Hanwu, and the power of our Deng family will also usher in greater development."

Deng Tong smiled lightly with his beard, and nodded slowly: "To be honest, my nephew feels the same way! Moreover, my nephew thinks that His Majesty the Emperor's establishment of a class for young geniuses is actually planning for the future."

"After all, His Majesty the Emperor is only 16 years old. His ambition must be greater than that of Emperor Guangwu and Emperor Wu of Han back then, and he has a brighter future!"

Deng Xun was very excited: "I hope this time, our Deng family can have two more generals."

Deng Tong was very sure of this: "If the Mandarin Duck Army falls into the hands of Deng Peng, there will naturally be two more generals."

"Hahahahaha!"

The wild laughter sounded immediately.

But in the next second, there was a long sound from outside the pavilion:
"Report—!"

The laughter of the two stopped abruptly.

Deng Xun looked up.

But seeing that his servants rushed over, he bowed his body and cupped his hands and said, "Patriarch, there is a message from Wancheng that His Majesty the Emperor has ordered Zhou Yu to replace the general of the Mandarin Duck Army."

"kindness?"

Deng Xun and Deng Tongju were taken aback: "Zhou Yu?"

The servant nodded: "That's right."

Deng Xun asked anxiously: "Where did this person come from, and why can he succeed the Yuanyang Army?"

"this."

The servant didn't know about it yet, but Deng Tong already had an impression: "Patriarch, this person is from Shu County, Lujiang. Last year, when he took the examination of the Public Transport Department, it was said that this person answered six questions, but he was superior in Confucian classics and art of war."

"Oh?"

Deng Xun was taken aback for a moment.

He naturally knew how difficult the imperial court's exams were: "This person actually answered six questions?"

Deng Tong nodded, very sure: "That's right! This person did answer six questions, but since then, there has been no news, and the court has not arranged for him either."

"did not expect!"

Deng Tong's eyes were full of astonishment, and he breathed out, "It's not that the court has forgotten him, it's just that he hasn't found a suitable position."

"But."

Deng Xun resented in his heart: "Why is it the Yuanyang Army?"

Deng Tong shook his head and said he didn't know: "But the Patriarch, don't worry. Deng Peng has a strong nature. Even if this person enters the Mandarin Duck Army, life will not be easy. Maybe it won't be long before this person can't continue and he will resign."

The number of officials who passed the examination and became an official this year was not one thousand, but eight hundred. Most of them were spoiled and pampered children of aristocratic families. They usually couldn't stand the system of the imperial court, and they didn't work for a long time before resigning and returning to their hometowns.

Yes!

Deng Tong had such an idea, thinking that under Deng Peng's making things difficult, Zhou Yu would be like ordinary children from aristocratic families, unable to bear such a life, and chose to resign and surrender.

"possible!"

Deng Xun nodded and said immediately: "Nephew, I will leave this matter to you."

Deng Tongyi: "Here."

"uh that"

At this moment, the servant beside him added: "Patriarch, according to the news from Wancheng, it is said that Deng Peng, the left school lieutenant, has clashed with the newly appointed Zhou Yu, and the two agreed to a decisive battle in the school field in five days."

"Oh?"

Deng Xun was stunned, and raised his eyes: "Is there such a thing?"

The servant nodded: "It is true."

Deng Tong asked anxiously: "Then do you know what they are comparing?"

"know."

The servant said with great certainty: "They agreed to each lead a hundred elites to compete in a battle of mandarin ducks in the school field. If Zhou Yu loses, he will personally write to His Majesty the Emperor to abdicate the throne."

hiss-!
Deng Xun was surprised and gasped: "This Zhou Yu is very confident. He dared to fight Deng Peng in a mandarin duck formation. You must know that Deng Peng is the left captain of the mandarin duck army, and he has experienced many battles."

"That's right!"

Deng Tong didn't dare to underestimate his opponent, and calmly analyzed: "The opponent dares to do this, he must rely on him. Although Deng Peng has experienced many battles, he is reckless by nature. With Zhi'er, he can restrain him. I'm afraid he will underestimate the enemy and make mistakes."

"no!"

Deng Tong frowned, and made a quick decision: "Zhi'er must contact Deng Peng and secretly support her, otherwise she will definitely lose. Zhou Yu will never be as simple as imagined."

Deng Xun twisted his beard and said: "Your Majesty has always had a good understanding of people, Xixian, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Zhang Liao, all of them are like this. Now that Zhou Yu is promoted in an extraordinary way, I think it is the same."

"My nephew is right. In this battle, the enemy must not be underestimated."

Although Deng Xun said so, he had another thought in his heart: "However, the imperial court would rather appoint Zhou Yu as the general of the Mandarin Duck Army than promote generals from within. I'm afraid it's not just because of Zhou Yu's outstanding ability."

"The owner's meaning."

"Your Majesty is still wary of our Deng family."

"possible!"

"Damn!"

Deng Xun chewed it to himself, and he couldn't help feeling resentful in his heart: "Your Majesty must have seen that my Deng family imitated the high-tube car, and couldn't take my Deng family's farmland into public ownership, so he attacked the mandarin duck army to disintegrate my Deng family. strength in the army."

Deng Tong sighed, and said softly: "Although our Majesty is young, this method is really sophisticated. Now that Zhi'er has entered the young genius class, it has given us enough hope, but the backhand makes us despair."

"Nephew, don't worry."

Deng Xun interrupted with a wave of his hand, and comforted him: "In the first battle of the Yuanyang Army, the outcome is still unknown. If Deng Peng wins, we still have hope. Besides, we have now imitated the high-tube transfer car, which can be regarded as completely protecting the Deng's foundation."

"Report—!"

As soon as the words fell, another announcement sounded outside the pavilion.

Deng Xun frowned and looked up.

However, seeing his servants rushing over, with a slightly flustered expression, he bowed his body and cupped his hands and said, "Patriarch, there is a message from the direction of Wancheng that the imperial court ordered all public lands to use something called chemical fertilizer."

"And he threatened that if the yield per mu cannot be increased by [-]%, the land tax will not be increased. If the yield per mu is increased by [-]%, the land tax will only be increased by [-]%. If the yield per mu is reduced, the court will compensate."

hiss-!
Deng Xun was surprised, staring like a bell: "The yield per mu increased by [-]%?"

The servant nodded affirmatively: "That's right! Fifty percent!"

"This"

Deng Xun couldn't believe it: "If the yield per mu increases by [-]%, it will be three stones and three buckets per mu. Such a yield per mu will be the best paddy field of the Deng family, and it is impossible to achieve it."

Even in well-irrigated paddy fields, the maximum yield per mu is no more than two stones and seven buckets. Normally, there will be two stones and five buckets. If the yield per mu of the imperial court can really increase by [-]%, it will be fatal to the common people.

"fertilizer?"

Deng Xun was very anxious: "Is it possible to get fertilizer?"

The servant said softly: "The fields near Wancheng are already being fertilized. It's no problem to send someone to steal some."

Without hesitation, Deng Xun immediately made a decision: "Immediately send someone back to find some chemical fertilizers, gather those who are good at farming in the clan, and make sure to study how this thing is produced."

The servant bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Here."

Immediately.

Bow and leave.

Deng Xun was still in shock, frowning in thought, worried: "Your Majesty hid it so deeply that it was not released until now. No wonder the court didn't panic at all when we turned the cart upright. It turns out that His Majesty has a plan to deal with it." .”

"Yes!"

Deng Tong was deeply shocked, and heaved a long sigh: "Last year it was rice fields and fish, and high-tube transfers, and this year there is chemical fertilizer. It seems that His Majesty has never stopped weakening the heart of the family."
