Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 16. Competition
"Let's put aside other things. Who are these leaders Zhu and Chen? Why have I never heard of their names?"

Zhang Nan still didn't believe it.

"Perhaps he is a man from the future. No need to worry about that. This battle on both land and water is a good opportunity to hone your command of naval battles."

Although it was just a chessboard simulation, Feng Xi still gave Zhang Nan a lot of difficulty. First of all, Zhang Nan was not Zhu Yuanzhang, and Feng Xi was not Chen Dayi. In addition, Zhang Nan did not have the assistance of Chang Shiwan and Xu Tiande, so even if Zhang Nan and Feng Xi played two more games, they still ended up in a miserable defeat.

……

"Actual combat? Third brother, why did you suddenly think of this?"

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were also confused when they saw Zhang Fei forcing Zhao Yun to come to the palace. Zhang Fei's actions were often unpredictable. He was still very sad and angry two days ago, so why did he think of this again today?

"Brother, Military Advisor, after meeting you two a few days ago, I wanted to find Zilong to learn from him, but Zilong was not there, so I went to the military camp..."

Zhang Fei also told Feng Xi about what he saw and heard in his army that day. Zhang Fei naturally knew the benefits of training the soldiers in this way.

Even if wooden swords and sticks fight against each other, it is better than poking the air or a straw man. It is like the difference between knowing how to break a bridge in the Arctic Circle for a lifetime and being unable to sleep for three days and three nights.

"Oh? This method of training soldiers is quite desirable. But why do they seem to attach so much importance to fire prevention?"

After listening to this, Liu Bei also thought that this method was good, but he had the same feeling as Zhang Nan at the time, that is, this exercise was aimed at the scenario of "being set on fire and attacked at night".

"I wonder which general's troops the three generals are heading for? That's a bit novel."

Zhuge Liang also smiled and waved his fan. At least it was a great thing that Master Zhang San could get out of his previous desperate state.

"They are the troops of Feng Xi and Feng Xiuyuan, the generals of the front army. I heard that they have been training like this for nearly a month."

Zhang Fei said disapprovingly, while Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang looked at each other in surprise.

"Furthermore, Feng Xiuyuan's martial arts have also improved greatly. According to Zhang Wenjin, Feng Xiuyuan fell off his horse and was injured a few days ago. In his dream, a divine being taught him martial arts and military tactics, which is why he has all these wonderful ideas now."

Zhang Fei paid no attention to the two's little movements and continued talking.

"Brother, if you don't believe me, ask Zilong. Feng Xiuyuan is now quite good at using the spear. Although he is a little unfamiliar with it, it's obvious that his spear style is that of an expert."

Zhang Fei was afraid that Liu Bei would not believe him, so he pulled Zhao Yun, who had been smiling and saying nothing, over to him.

"My Lord, Military Advisor, this is true. Although I cannot tell which master Feng Xiuyuan's spearmanship came from, it is not difficult to see that it is indeed a set of advanced spearmanship. If Feng Xiuyuan can master it one day, his achievements will surpass mine."

Zhao Yun said this with a humble tone, and Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang burst into laughter. Since Zhao Yun turned fifty, he has been increasingly supportive of the younger generation. As long as they are young talents, he will not hesitate to praise them.

"Okay, okay, you two think highly of Feng Xiuyuan. Why don't we do as Yide said and let the generals near Chengdu compete in this way in ten days. This will also be a good opportunity to see how strong the army they have trained is."

Liu Bei also laughed and proposed a method of holding a large-scale competition among the entire army. This would be just the right way to test the combat effectiveness of the generals' troops, and it would also be convenient to promote these methods.

The four of them chatted casually for a few more words before Zhang Fei pulled Zhao Yun away. These past few days, Zhang Fei had been sparring with Zhao Yun every day, and Zhao Yun was happy to exercise.

"Military Advisor, it seems that Feng Xiuyuan's fall has really brought him some success." Liu Bei stroked his beard, thinking of the farming methods that Zhuge Liang had shown him a few days ago, and could not help but sigh.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang themselves also knew about Feng Xi's fall from his horse. After all, Feng Xiuyuan had taken leave and was absent from the court meetings during that period on this ground. Now it seemed that he was privately absorbing the teachings of the gods.

"This is because the heavens are moved by your sincerity and have blessed us, the Han people."

Zhuge Liang also smiled. Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were naturally very happy that Ji Han had such a talented person.

"Kong Ming, you can also meet Feng Xiuyuan more often to see if he has any other skills taught by gods that can help our Han Dynasty to make further progress and make the lives of the people better."

Liu Bei was a little bored when he talked about this. Seeing that Liu Bei seemed to be full of emotion, Zhuge Liang tactfully took his leave. Anyway, the important matters for today had been discussed, so it would be better to leave some space for Liu Bei to express his feelings.

After Zhuge Liang left, Liu Bei sighed. Although he seemed to have come out of Guan Yu's death and calmed down, it was just an appearance.

The flame of revenge never went out, but Liu Bei suppressed it deep in his heart. He was waiting for the day when the flame would burst out again and burn all the enemies who stood in his way into ashes.

……

After Zhang Fei left, he immediately sent his personal soldiers to inform Feng Xi, meaning that he wanted Feng Xi to make preparations early and not embarrass himself in the competition.

After Feng Xi and Zhang Nan learned about it, they did not dare to neglect it and discussed the matter in the tent.

"Hey, Xiu Yuan, I didn't expect that your method of training soldiers would attract the attention of the king. Our troops have been training for two months in advance, so I'm afraid we will have a lot of advantages."

Zhang Nan couldn't help feeling a little proud. His troops had two months of actual combat training experience, so they would definitely have a lot of experience advantages when they went to the training ground.

"Don't underestimate other famous generals. General Zhao's White Horse Cavalry, General Zhang's Yanyun Cavalry, General Huang Lao and Wei Wenchang's Changsha Soldiers are no ordinary troops. Even if the king's Baiqi soldiers come, it will be even more difficult to defeat them."

Feng Xi didn't have it easy. His troops could be considered elite among ordinary soldiers, but compared with the personal soldiers trained by the veteran generals with great effort, they might not be enough.

But it didn't matter much. After all, he still had time. His and Zhang Nan's personal troops were the one thousand people that Zhang Nan was usually in charge of. When he could be sent out to lead an independent army in the future, he would have to arm his personal troops well.

Now all Feng Xi can do is continue to train his soldiers and improve their tactics and strategies, so that he can at least have a place in the military competition in a dozen days.

However, this puts a lot of pressure on the soldiers, as the intensity of the exercises has also increased and it is not as easy as before.

"The fire has spread to the camp!"

"Hurry, hurry, bring some sand!"

"Daniu, you son of a bitch, where did you put my face towel?"

During the past ten days and nights, the camp of Feng Xi's troops was often in chaos, but the soldiers' coping ability and reaction ability had indeed improved.
