Chapter 18 Martial arts and liberal arts
Qiao Zhou was born in a scholarly family in Xichongguo County, Brazil County. He lost his father when he was young. He rarely read classics, studied the Six Classics intensively, and knew a lot about astronomy. Liu Chan set up a lecture hall, so he thought of coming to see the world.

And you can also earn your own reputation.

If he can enter the lecture hall, he will undoubtedly have a direct relationship with the young master Liu Chan, and his future official career will definitely be smooth sailing!
Xiang Chong is the nephew of Xiang Lang, the prefect of Fangling, and he can be regarded as a distinguished family member, but compared with Guan Xing, Zhang Bao and Liu Chan, his status as Xiang Lang's nephew is not enough.

But in order to gain the trust of Liu Chan, the son of dragon spirit, he also came to participate in the selection of the martial arts hall.

And there are not a few people who think like Xiang Chong.

"The score of liberal arts and martial arts is quite novel, and I have never seen such an examination school."

Xiang Chong was still very curious about the selection of the martial arts hall that Liu Chan made.

"That's right, liberal arts and martial arts, there are different categories below, both general talents and partial talents can be selected."

"My virtuous brother wants to take liberal arts?"

"Hahaha, I mainly focus on liberal arts, but besides participating in liberal arts, it's okay to try martial arts!"

Qiao Zhou put his right hand on the sword at his waist, indicating that he is not a scholar without the strength to restrain a chicken.

In fact, those who can come out to travel have a certain degree of force.

This era is not as peaceful as the later generations. There are countless bandits who occupy the mountains as kings. If they are really powerless, they may be eaten and wiped clean by the bandits during their travels, leaving no bones left.

Like Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Pang Tong and others, although they are literati, their force value is really not low.

For the gentry of this era, learning book knowledge is only one of the six basic skills they must master.

The six arts (ritual, music, archery, imperial, calligraphy, and mathematics) are compulsory courses for them.

Among the six arts, shooting refers to archery, and imperial refers to driving and riding. Therefore, before the Song Dynasty, there was no such thing as a weak scholar. After all, riding and archery is a compulsory course. It won't be too bad. The founder of Confucianism, Kong Qiu, was a master of archery and horseback riding.

The dynasties before the Song Dynasty, which emphasized culture over martial arts, paid great attention to the cultivation of "martial arts", especially in the Han period, when the social environment was "martial arts".

Therefore, the so-called counselors are actually fierce men who can lead troops to fight.

For example, Pang Tong, in the original history, was the leader who was too far ahead and was shot to death by random arrows. For example, Cheng Yu of Cao Wei was a fierce man who could lead the people to open the city gate to chase and kill himself.

"According to what you said, I also want to participate in the second civil and military subjects. I'm sure of the first place in the two subjects."

Xiang Chong raised his head slightly, revealing his arrogance without any concealment.

Qiao Zhou fanned the feather fan slightly, but the expression on his face was very relaxed.

"I don't dare to compete with my brother in martial arts, but in liberal arts, I'm afraid you won't be my opponent."

"scoff~"

Xiang Chong sneered disdainfully, and said, "Why don't you make a bet with me?"

"What bet?"

Qiao Zhou suddenly became alert, and looked at Xiang Chong suspiciously, thinking that Xiang Chong had some tricks in his mind.

"If I win, I will be honored after entering the son's mansion. If I ask for something, you must not go back on it. If you win, I will honor you. If you ask, I will definitely satisfy it. What do you think?"

Looking at the confident Xiang Chong, Qiao Zhou was a little uncertain about the time.

"What? Don't you have the guts?"

Xiang Chong used the aggressive method.

He is well aware of Qiao Zhou's talent, and knows that he will definitely be able to enter the Young Master's Mansion. If he enters the Young Master's Mansion together, it would be a good thing to have an extra younger brother by his side.

"Why don't you dare?"

After all, Qiao Zhou was a young man, and when he was excited by Xiang Chong, he immediately agreed with enthusiasm.

"Brother, don't be too happy. I am in Brazil County. I am not only talented in literature, but also in martial arts!"

"Once a word is spoken, it is hard to follow!"

"Once a word is spoken, it is hard to follow!"

The two clenched their fists with their right hands, and then they touched each other, and the bet was established.

"Hahaha, happy!"

Xiang Chong is in a good mood.

"It's a pity that there is no wine here, otherwise I will definitely drink with you."

"Brother Xiang, don't be too happy."

Qiao Zhou was filled with anger, thinking that tomorrow he must call Xiang Chong his brother, and then let him serve him tea.

Hehe
That's not bad.

Thinking of the happy place, Qiao Zhou couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

"You kid, what are you thinking?"

Xiang Chong frowned slightly, dissatisfied that Qiao Zhou could still laugh.

tomorrow
I must have another younger brother named Qiao Zhou under Xiang Chong's command!
The next day.

There are already crowds of people outside the school grounds of the Young Master's Mansion.

Hundreds of people gathered for the selection of schools in the small martial arts platform.

You must know that during the war in Hanzhong, many young men were transferred from Yizhou to the front line. In Chengdu, where young men were scarce, so many young and middle-aged men could be summoned to give lectures in the martial arts hall, which shows the attraction of Liu Chan's martial arts lecture hall to them.

Moreover, most of these people who dare to come to the Young Master's Mansion think that they have special skills, or are confident in their own martial arts. They don't have diamonds, so they dare not come to take on porcelain work.

"A lot of people really came."

Guan Yinping's face was quite excited, and she was eager to try it out, and she couldn't help but want to be a judge in Wuke.

"This selection, I am afraid that the exams will not be finished in one day."

Guan Xing has a new understanding of the popularity of the martial arts hall.

"It's really not enough for three people to be judges."

The selection of martial arts is divided into four categories.

Weightlifting, mounted archery, infantry, carbine.

First try horse step shooting, the horse shoots six arrows twice, and the third is a combination.Five out of nine arrows are combined.Then compare strength, including pulling a hard bow, dancing a knife, and lifting a stone.Bows are divided into eight, ten, and twelve strengths; knives are divided into eighty, one hundred, and one hundred and two catties;

After passing, there will be a written test to test the school's simple military knowledge, and at the same time to see if he can read or not.

If the martial arts are mediocre and illiterate, naturally they will not be able to enter the lecture hall.

If you have a high level of martial arts, even though you are illiterate, you can still enter the martial arts lecture hall.

The liberal arts selection is divided into three categories.

Five things and seven strategies, Fenglin volcano cloudy thunder, current theory.

The "Five Things" are "Tao, Heaven, Earth, General, and Law". "Seven Strategies" means "Which one is the master? Which one is capable? Which one wins the heaven and the earth? Which one does the law? Which one is the strongest among the soldiers? Which one is the best for the soldiers? Which one is the best for training?

Five things and seven strategies are the basic factors that determine the outcome of a war.

The Yin Thunder of Fenglin Volcano is: it is as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, invades and loots like fire, does not move like a mountain, moves like thunder and tremors, and is difficult to know like Yin.

The wind, forest, volcano, and thunder are the basic means to determine the outcome of a war.

Time theory is to analyze the battles of the past dynasties, the battles that are happening in Hanzhong now, or the battles that may happen in the future, and write out solutions.

For those who don't know how to fight, the liberal arts in the martial arts hall have already blocked them from the door.
