Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 3 Competition
"Bo Tao, I heard that you have a bumper harvest of grain this year?" Zhao Feng sent the tax collected this year to the county, and was checking the registration at the gate of the warehouse. Unexpectedly, Liu Bei ran to the warehouse when he heard that he was coming. ask.

"I've met my lord, it's true, but Feng is just talking about it, and everyone should contribute to farming." Zhao Feng hurriedly agreed when he saw Liu Bei come to ask about it in person.To say that Lao Liu still has a little ink in his stomach, at least he helped to get up the word "self".

"That's not easy. I didn't expect you to increase the yield of the grain field several times. It's really not easy." Liu Bei still sighed after hearing his explanation.

"Brother, is that kid really not lying?" Just as Zhao Feng was about to speak again, a rough voice came from outside the warehouse, and then two hurried figures came, and it was Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who came.It turned out that the two of them were collecting taxes recently, and Zhang Fei could be patient and help keep the accounts for a few days, but after a few days, the boss became impatient, so today he took his two brothers to go hunting for a walk relax.But Liu Bei was too busy to run away, so Guan Yu went with him.

When Zhang Fei came back in the afternoon, he didn't see Liu Bei when he arrived at the government office. After asking the county magistrate, he found out that Liu Bei had heard that Zhao Feng was coming, so he ran to find out.Zhang Fei also wanted to know whether Zhao Feng could really increase the grain production, so he simply took Guan Yu to have a look.

"It turned out to be the second master, the third master." Zhao Feng hurriedly cupped his hands to say hello, Guan Yu nodded his head in agreement, but Zhang Fei couldn't wait for his answer, so he ran to the granary to check, and after a while, he came out praising him, and looked at it from the beginning to the end Zhao Feng stayed for a long time, until he almost looked down on Zhao Feng, and then he said strangely: "I didn't expect you, a kid, to have such an ability to increase food production. It's really not easy."

"The third master won the prize, it's all thanks to everyone." Zhao Feng didn't dare to pretend to be arrogant in front of these three, jokingly talking about who could beat the silent second master Guan in terms of arrogance.Although the current Guan Yu is not so difficult to contact, Zhao Feng knows that it is because he has not yet reached the peak. After all, the current Guan Yu's record of shooting is just warming wine and killing Huaxiong.

"It's not easy, Bo Tao, next year I will vigorously promote your farming method. The harvest has not been good in recent years. If you can vigorously promote it, there will be countless people alive." Liu Bei sighed at this time.

"Brother, since this is the case, why don't you take him to take office together." Seeing what Liu Bei said, Zhang Fei persuaded him.

"Huh? Assuming office, what is this, my lord?" Zhao Feng didn't react for a while.

"Oh, it's nothing, the appointment just made the day before yesterday, I was promoted to be Prime Minister of Pingyuan, and I will take office only after collecting the taxes and rations." Liu Bei laughed.

"So that's the case, congratulations, my lord!" Not only Zhao Feng, but also other county officials around congratulated him.Liu Bei was originally an acting county magistrate, and it was not easy to become a full-time official after less than a year. Unexpectedly, he was directly promoted to Pingyuan Prime Minister.Seeing Liu Bei laughing and being modest, Zhao Feng guessed in his heart that this had something to do with Liu Bei's classmate and friend Gongsun Zan, maybe it was this big guy who helped him.

After everyone finished celebrating, Liu Bei turned around and said to Zhao Feng: "I saw Bo Tao for the first time. I only knew that you were good at punching and kicking. I don't want you to be loyal to your duties even though you have only been a small official in the past year. Good at farming, he is a rare talent. Now that I am moving to Pingyuan, I wonder if Bo Tao would like to help me appease the local area and benefit the people?"

"Willing to follow the lord!" Zhao Feng clasped his fists in a concise manner, joking that the big tree would be stupid if he didn't follow it carefully. The rest of the colleagues around him also looked envious when they saw it. Liu Bei thinks highly of this young man.

"Wait, big brother, what do you think about this kid's fists, how about I compete with him?" Zhang Fei, who was rushing around to look at the food, said suddenly.Zhao Feng was quite helpless when Zhang Fei called himself a "children". I am younger than your third master Zhang, but I am not a child.

"Third brother, stop messing around. You are a warrior on the battlefield, how can you fight with Bo Tao?" Liu Bei knew that his righteous brother was very skilled in martial arts, so he quickly dissuaded him.

"It's okay, brother, I have my own sense of propriety." Zhang Fei said with a playful smile, then turned to Zhao Feng and said, "Such a boy, have you tried two tricks?"

For a moment, Zhao Feng only felt that his head was getting a little big: "My God, one of the five tiger generals of Shu Kingdom, Mr. Zhang, who drank Changbanpo, wants to fight with him?" After finally calming down, he carefully Think about it: Since Zhang Fei only said it was a competition, and he himself practiced Tai Chi since he was a child, he might be able to use this softness to control rigidity to take a few tricks with Mr. Zhang.Even if you get beaten to the ground, there is no shame in it. Do you still want to win if you fight Zhang Fei one-on-one?Even Lu Bu dared not make such a guarantee.

Furthermore, I am now in a troubled world, and it is always a good thing to have a high level of skill.It's rare to meet Zhang Fei who is an enemy of ten thousand people, so naturally we have to ask him for advice.Anyway, Liu Bei is next to him, so it is estimated that nothing will happen.

"I also ask the third master to give you more advice." Zhao Feng thought of this and no longer declined, and directly clasped his hands in a clasping salute, and then put on a Taiji boxing starting gesture.

"Very good, very good!" Zhang Fei was originally worried that Liu Bei would stop him, but now seeing that Zhao Fengzhu actually accepted the challenge, he immediately geared up for the fight and was overjoyed.Since he came to Pingyuan County for more than a year, Zhang Fei's life is really boring.Can't fight on the battlefield every day, so I can only compete with Guan Yu in martial arts, but this competition is not as happy as going to battle.And after playing with Guan Yu for a long time, I got a little bored.If someone else were to challenge him one-on-one, who in Little Pingyuan County would be able to catch his third master Zhang's every move?To Zhang Fei, having a martial artist who is willing to fight with him now is no less enjoyable than drinking a bowl of fine wine during the dog days.

"Third brother, be careful, don't hurt Bo Tao." Seeing this, Liu Bei also knew that his brother was in a hurry today, so he didn't stop him immediately, but wanted to see how Zhao Feng would respond.

Zhang Fei nodded, seeing Zhao Feng standing there with his feet uneven, showing his emptiness, there seemed to be many flaws all over his body for a moment, he immediately frowned and punched him in the face.Zhao Feng saw that the punch was very fast and powerful, so he didn't dare to take it head-on, and immediately used the move "grab the bird's tail", put both hands on Zhang Fei's punch, and then turned his strength to the right remove.This Taijiquan, Zhao Feng, has been practicing with Zhao's old Chinese doctor since he was seven years old. After more than ten years of hard work in cold and heat, it is by no means comparable to ordinary ostentation.

"Huh!" Zhang Fei only felt that his arm seemed to be pulled to the right, so he quickly stabilized his footsteps and stood still.He was extremely solid in his laying skills, and Zhao Feng couldn't move anymore when he stood still.Immediately Zhang Fei's fist pattern changed, and his left fist swept over.Zhao Feng couldn't dodge it in time, so he immediately used another stance of "like seal like seal" to release the punch again.

Once these two tricks were passed, not only Zhang Fei, but also Liu Bei and Guan Yu, who were watching the battle, could see that Zhao Feng's subordinates really had some tricks.Zhang Fei threw two punches in a row, but they were as forceful as a bull into the sea and there was no response. He didn't dare to underestimate this young man.Stand firmly on your feet now, and play out every move in a solid manner.

Zhao Feng responded to all changes with the same, and still used his own Taijiquan to control rigidity with softness.But how could Zhang Fei be so easily restrained?Not only was he extremely solid in his moves, but he was also extremely quick in changing moves. Apart from the beginning, Zhao Feng was able to take back one or two moves, and was gradually suppressed until he couldn't fight back.A few times I squeezed so hard that I almost made myself unstable.

After fighting with dozens of moves, Zhao Feng's arms became more and more numb as he blocked Zhang Fei more and more.Finally, after trying to catch another punch, his figure couldn't hold up any longer, and he was beaten back again and again by the next punch, so he had to admit defeat.

"The third master is really powerful, Feng admires it." Zhao Feng could hardly lift his hands for a moment, reluctantly admit defeat.

"Your boy is really good at it. You can catch me a hundred times with your bare hands." Zhang Fei also looked at this young man with admiration.Just as he was about to compete with him again, Liu Bei saw that Zhao Feng's strength was exhausted, so he hurriedly stopped him, saying: "It will be a long time in the future, third brother will have a lot of opportunities to compete with Bo Tao in the future, let's call it a day."

"Feng understands!" Zhao Feng fell in love with Liu Bei when he heard this, and hurriedly agreed.Zhang Fei also knew that Zhao Feng was powerless to fight any more, even though he was a bit unwilling, he had no choice but to let it go.Guan Yu, who hadn't spoken yet, said, "I see that Bo Tao's boxing technique is quite good, but you don't have enough strength."

"What the second master said is that I really don't have enough strength." Zhao Feng admitted, and he was a little horrified in his heart: he thought that with the kung fu he had practiced since he was a child, plus the training of the basketball team, he was enough to compete with Zhang Fei, and he didn't want to The strength is so bad.The skills he has practiced from actual combat are indeed much better than his two strokes.

"I'm not talking about strength, but vigor. Of course, you haven't been in battle, so you will understand in the future." Guan Yu continued to point out a few words, and Zhao Feng nodded again and again, but the specifics will have to be experienced later.

At this time Zhao Feng had already counted the taxes he had paid, so he bid farewell to Liu Bei and went back to his residence to pack up his luggage. Liu Bei will go to his post five days later.Liu Bei is an upright official with no possessions, and the three brothers have no family. They only packed a box of clothes and put them on an old horse. Together with Jian Yong, Zhao Feng and five other people, they were sent off by the common people. Left Pingyuan County.

"I didn't expect there were only five of us!" Zhao Feng looked at the four historical celebrities who were on the same road with some emotion, bid farewell to Pingyuan County where he had lived for more than a year, and headed to the next stop after his crossing.
