The Jin army besieged the city, and the Song emperor’s daughter died

Chapter 135 Zhao Gou wants to take over
At the military training ground in Taiyuan City, Han Shizhong was accompanied by the supervisor Liang Hongyu and summoned the generals in the army.

In fact, it's nothing serious, I just want to show off my strength.

In this way, after he returned to Beijing to take up his post, the legend of Po Han Wu still existed in Taiyuan City.

Of course, to show force value, there must be a control group. Han Shizhong is a person who is very good at selecting a control group, so he chose Yue Fei.

"Pengju, the former Minister of War, Zongze, once recommended you to this general. Now a few months have passed, and you have grown from a soldier to the commander-in-chief of the Beiwei Army. You have grown rapidly. I would like to give you a lesson today." Second, are you willing?"

Hearing this, Yue Fei got off his horse, stepped out of the queue and bowed: "The general is willing!"

This answer made Han Shizhong very unhappy. Faced with his unparalleled martial arts and talents, shouldn't he first shirk and say some humble words such as "I won't dare"?

Han Shizhong's face darkened. He originally wanted to shock Yue Feiyi with his force, but then he thought, as a general, the first thing is to run the army, so it is better to test his military skills first.

"Yue Fei, as a general, how should you run the army?"

This question is extremely broad, and no matter which angle you answer it from, you can't go wrong.

But it is extremely difficult to answer comprehensively.

However, Yue Fei blurted out without thinking: "Benevolence, faith, wisdom, courage, and strictness are all indispensable."

When Han Shizhong heard this, he felt that Yue Fei's eloquent words were so hollow and broad, and he couldn't help but snorted in his heart, and then asked: "What is benevolence?"

"A benevolent man loves his soldiers like his own son. If a soldier is sick, he will personally prepare the medicine, garrison the general at a distant place, move his wife to care for his elders, and raise his orphans if he dies in the country. If there is a reward, give it to the military officials. This is regarded as benevolence."

As soon as this statement came out, the audience was in an uproar.

Han Shizhong felt ashamed when he remembered that a few months ago, he wanted to get some benefits from Zhao Fujin in the name of rewarding the army.

But he was ashamed, and he still didn't believe that a general could do this...

Doesn't this mean that you will tire yourself to death?

Han Shizhong asked again: "What is faith?"

Yue Fei replied: "If you say what you say, follow the law, and if you do what is forbidden, it will be regarded as faith."

Han Shizhong mostly agreed with this point. When marching and fighting, one should naturally advance and retreat according to orders and strictly implement them.

If this is not possible, then this army can only be called a bandit.

Wisdom and courage, of course there is no need to ask.

"Where's Yan?"

"You will freeze to death without demolishing your house, starve to death without looting, and wherever you march, you will do no harm to the common people!"

Han Shizhong chuckled: "Oh, you really have experience in the three major disciplines and the eight points of attention mentioned by the officials."

Yue Fei cupped his fists and said, "The officials are strategizing and winning thousands of miles away. How can Yue Fei be able to match them?"

On this point, Han Shizhong, who had seen Zhao Fujin's series of tricks after the first Kaifeng defense battle, was also convinced.

After asking about the methods of military management, Han Shizhong felt that Yue Fei did have two skills.

But Han Shizhong still felt that being a general requires loyalty and bravery most. If you only rely on words, it will be just talk on paper.

"Yue Fei, I heard that you have great marksmanship. Coincidentally, I am also good at using spears. If you are up today, would you like to accompany me to practice a few moves?"

Before Yue Fei could answer, Liang Hongyu quickly stopped: "Use the spear immediately. It is a technique to kill the enemy. If we accidentally hurt each other, it will not be beautiful. How about using a crossbow instead?"

"Hurt me?" Han Shizhong laughed quietly on the general stage.

Liang Hongyu glared at him: "Don't forget what I told you last night. The official family is determined to promote Yue Fei. If you hurt him..."

Han Shizhong could still accept this sentence, just for the sake of the official's face.

But what Liang Hongyu really thought was much more delicate and complicated.

First, even if Han Shizhong wins, in the eyes of the generals, that is what he should do. After all, Han Shizhong's reputation in the military is now at its peak.Secondly, if Han Shizhong loses, he will lose face, but if this bad guy starts splashing and hurts Yue Fei or himself, it will be difficult for the officials to explain.

"Okay! What the supervisor said is good! It's better to compare bows and crossbows." King Kang Zhao Gou took the lead in applauding: "My king... bah, I have also been practicing crossbows since I was a child. When I was ten years old, I could shoot a bow with a stone and five buckets. Looking at the Forbidden Army, It’s also first-class. If the two generals don’t give up, I will also play with the two generals.”

Han Shizhong glanced at Zhao Gou with disgust.

Liang Hongyu, same as above.

Yue Fei respected his status and replied humbly, cupping his fists: "How dare you dislike me, the general?"

After a while, three hard bows were brought up by the soldiers.

Kang Wang Zhao Gou first picked up one, weighed it in his hand, then pulled the bow string and said with a smile: "One stone and five buckets? That general will come first."

Having said that, he drew the bow and set the arrow. His fair face turned red from suppressing it, and he opened the bow to six points. His arms were already shaking a little. As soon as the bow string was loosened, the arrow flew out, grazing the edge of the target in front of him, and swayed. After a few clicks, there was a "pop" sound and the arrow fell.

Among the troops, there were only a few scattered applauses.

King Kang Zhaogou laughed at himself in embarrassment: "As I get older, I am no longer as brave as I used to be."

Han Shizhong ignored him, lowered his head with his hands behind his hands, looked at the strong bow in front of him and said with a smile: "Don't use these children's toys, give me a three-stone bow instead!"

After saying that, there was a burst of exclamation among the troops.

The three-stone bow is currently the hardest in the Song Dynasty.

Even the chief crossbow instructor of the Forbidden Army can only shoot two stones and three buckets at most. If you want to shoot three stones, how can it be done by manpower?
After Han Shizhong said that, he turned to look at Yue Fei who was standing aside: "General Yue, do you want to change your bow?"

Yue Fei bowed and saluted: "The last general can follow the general."

What a “all-or-nothing”!
Han Shizhong snorted and stopped talking. His hands behind his back opened and closed, seeming a little nervous.

After a while, two strong carved bows were presented. Han Shizhong took one of them, held it in his hand, gently pulled the bow string, opened the bow two points, and said with a smile: "General Yue, take a look."

After that, he took out an arrow and placed it on the bow string. He held his breath and concentrated, relaxed his shoulders and sunk his hips. As Han Shizhong gradually exerted his strength, he fired a three-stone hard bow to eight points.

Liang Hongyu, who was on the general stage, could only see her husband firing the three-stone bow to seven or eight points because of the distance. However, because Yue Fei was closer to Han Shizhong, he could clearly see Han Shizhong's bulging biceps trembling slightly.

Amidst the applause of the troops, Liang Hongyu secretly broke into a cold sweat.

Others don't know Han Shizhong's hardness, but Liang Hongyu knows it well. Being able to expose three stones to seven or eight points is already Han Shizhong's limit. If he can open one more point, it will be difficult for others.

But even so, looking at the entire Song Dynasty, there are not many people who can be found. Liang Hongyu still feels that her husband is the best.

"Whoosh!"

As Han Shizhong loosened the string, the arrow made a shrill and piercing sound. In just a moment, the arrow had been firmly inserted into the center of the target, making a clanking sound.

After the arrow was shot, the whole audience cheered, and even Liang Hongyu, who had always been steady and unsmiling, was as excited as a girl.

Han Shizhong finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Yue Fei and said with a smile: "Please!"

Yue Fei nodded, took the bow, and almost without any preparation, drew the arrow, set the bow, and drew the string...

Just by pulling his right arm back, Han Shizhong almost broke through his defense...

Full bow!

However, the full strength of the bow was only maintained for a moment. Yue Fei loosened the bow string and restored it to seven or eight points. This speed of adjustment was hardly noticed by anyone present except Han Shizhong.

I don't know whether Yue Fei did it intentionally or unintentionally, but his smooth movements just stopped at seven or eight points for a moment, as if he was afraid that others could not see clearly. After waiting for a moment, he relaxed the string.

puff!
The arrow also hit the bullseye.

Before Han Shizhong could speak, Yue Fei put away his stiff bow and bowed: "We are worthy of being tied with General Han, and General Han admits it!"

Han Shizhong was stunned, but before he could speak, he heard Kang Wang Zhao Gou exclaim: "We have two generals in the Song Dynasty who are brave. Why worry about the golden thief being immortal? These two generals are so brave! If the two generals don't give up, I will The king would like to make you two brothers with different surnames, how about that?"
