The night was short, and it was already New Year.

(Pang Qiuxia)

After a short night, it was already New Year.

Since Hu Sanniang arrived at Lujiazhuang, she quickly became friends with other women in the family.

After all, if she was alone at night, she would be alone and weak, and her physical strength was limited, so she had to find allies and fight side by side.

Of course, after marrying into the Lu family, Lu Cheng also taught Hu Sanniang martial arts and arranged a full set of strengthening pills for her.

After that, Hu Sanniang and Ji Ruxue practiced swordsmanship and martial arts together every day, and they were quite happy.

Just after the Chinese New Year, Hu Sanniang, who couldn't stay idle, also asked Ji Ruxue to gather some maids at home and recruit some girls from the farm, saying that they wanted to train a female soldier to protect the safety of Lujiazhuang.

Lu Cheng naturally had no objection to this and let them do whatever they wanted.

After the Chinese New Year, Pei Xuan had followed Yang Zhi to the north and would settle down in the northern mountain stronghold for a long time, responsible for the relevant money and grain accounts, military regulations and discipline.

In the spring of the fourth year of Zhenghe (1114 AD), just after the first month of the year, Jizhou Prefecture began to bustle.

Through publicity and invitations before and after the New Year, the entire Jizhou Prefecture and nearby masters came to participate in this Jizhou Prefecture's military competition.

In order to attract more people, Lu Cheng also asked the governor of Jizhou to set up the arena in advance and set conditions. Anyone who came to participate in this arena competition, as long as he could lift the stone lock to test strength, passed the first level of assessment, and the government would provide food and accommodation.

The second level is the basic combat assessment. As long as the participants in the ring match can defeat the elite soldiers selected from the army, they will pass.

In the end, if you can enter the top ten in the ring match, you can get the corresponding rewards.

It is precisely because of this that it attracted many capable people to come.

Lu Cheng looked through the list of participants in the ring match, and there were some people who later went to Liangshan, such as Xiao Li Guang Hua Rong, Xiao Wen Hou Lu Fang, and the double-gun general Dong Ping.

In fact, there were also some later Liangshan heroes in Dengzhou, Laizhou, Qingzhou and other places, such as the Thunderbolt Qin Ming, Zhen Sanshan Huang Xin, and the sick Wei Chi Sun Li, Jie Zhen, Jie Bao and others.

In the original work, 108 generals on Liangshan, among which thirty or forty were in this Shandong area.

But at this time, many had already defected to Liangshan, and some had become bandits and did not dare to participate in the government's ring match.

As for Qin Ming, he is now the commander of the Qingzhou Command Department. He is a seventh-rank military officer, and the partner of the Qingzhou prefect. Naturally, he would not come all the way here to participate in the competition.

And the Zhen Sanshan Huang Xin is also the military supervisor under the Qingzhou prefect.

As for the double-gun general Dong Ping, although he is also the military supervisor of Dongping Prefecture, he is not willing to be an eighth-rank military officer. He wants to take this opportunity to seek a higher position, so he took the initiative to participate in this competition.

Xiao Li Guang Hua Rong is the commander of Qingfeng Village. He is a militia captain without a rank. He is suppressed by his superiors in Qingfeng Village and wants to make a living.

As for the little Wenhou Lu Fang, he was originally a wealthy family, and his family was still engaged in the herbal medicine business. Just because he heard that there was a big gap in medicinal materials in Shandong, he took most of his family's money and purchased a cargo ship of medicinal materials, wanting to send them to Shandong for sale. As a result, the cargo ship capsized while crossing the river, and all the medicinal materials fell into the water, and all the money was lost.

Lu Fang felt very ashamed and had no face to go home to see his elders. He was about to find a mountain stronghold to become a bandit. When he heard that there was a ring match in Jizhou Prefecture, he ran over to try.

For those who came to participate in the ring match, Jizhou Prefecture had conducted a detailed investigation to confirm that these people were innocent and had no problems before allowing them to participate in the ring match.

When Lu Cheng turned to the last page of the roster, he saw another familiar name, Pang Wanchun.

This man, known as "Little Yang Youji", was proficient in archery and was a general under Fang La later. When Liangshan conquered Fang La, Pang Wanchun shot Shi Jin with one arrow, and then led archers to shoot and kill Shi Xiu, Chen Da, Yang Chun and many other Liangshan generals, with brilliant achievements.

Behind Pang Wanchun's name, there is another name, Pang Wanqiu, who looks like Pang Wanchun's brother, but the original book does not record that Pang Wanchun has a brother.

Of course, these are not important. Lu Cheng is still very interested in Pang Wanchun.

The combination of generals under Fang La has many similarities with the combination of generals under Liangshan. Liangshan has five tiger generals, and Fang La also has five tiger generals. Liangshan has eight cavalrymen, and Fang La has eight flying generals from Suzhou.

Moreover, both sides are very

The abilities of many generals are also very similar. Pang Wanchun is known as "Little Yang Youji", and his counterpart is Hua Rong, the Little Li Guang. Both of them are first-class sharpshooters and can be called the top snipers of the Song Dynasty.

Now, Hua Rong and Pang Wanchun are both here to participate in the ring competition. It would be best if both of them could be recruited.

However, I don't know if Pang Wanchun has surrendered to Fang La now.

At this time, there are still five or six years before Fang La's uprising, and it is estimated that his generals have not been summoned yet.

Then, Lu Cheng ordered to start the ring competition immediately.

Because Jeju Prefecture had made full preparations in advance, the first two rounds of assessments ended quickly.

After the first two rounds of assessments and screening of strength and spears and sticks, there are less than 50 candidates left to participate in the ring.

The third round is to test bows and arrows, with two rounds of foot shooting and horse shooting. If you are not proficient in archery, you can use hidden weapons such as flying knives and darts.

In this round of assessment, the little Li Guang Hua Rong and Pang Wanchun undoubtedly achieved the best results, and the two were even on par.

After the results came out, Pang Wanchun and Hua Rong looked at each other, and a hint of fighting spirit flashed in both of their eyes, obviously wanting to compete well.

What surprised Lu Cheng was that the archery skills of the little Wenhou Lu Fang were also quite good, above the passing line.

And Pang Wanqiu, who was good at using nine nine-leaf flying knives, was also quite good, but still not as good as the flying knife skills of the flying eagle Li Ying.

When Lu Cheng saw Pang Wanqiu, he immediately recognized that she was a little girl dressed as a man. Although the other party was dressed in men's clothes and deliberately smeared some dust on her face and hands, her white and clean neck without Adam's apple, her earlobes with pierced ears, and her inadvertently exposed daughter's posture all showed her true identity.

(Pang Qiuxia)

Immediately afterwards, Pang Wanchun, Hua Rong and five or six others performed some horseback archery skills.

Then, it was the weapon contest on the ring.

Those who could participate in the final ring match all had some real kung fu skills. In order to avoid them getting hurt, Lu Cheng specially asked them to fight with wooden sticks, wooden spears, and wooden swords, and painted red paint on the spear tips and blades. If they could hit the enemy's vital points with the paint, they would be considered victorious.

The remaining twenty or thirty people competed in several rings. Dong Ping, Hua Rong, Lu Fang, Pang Wanchun and others soon won in their respective rings.

But the girl named "Pang Wanqiu" soon faced the powerful double-gun general Dong Ping. The two fought for less than 10 rounds, and the girl was defeated by Dong Ping. The opponent also saw through her female body, and she jumped off the ring unwillingly.

Of course, Dong Ping did not speak out loudly about Pang Wanqiu's female body, but whispered it when the two sides fought, causing Pang Wanqiu to panic and jump off the ring in a hurry.

On the other side, Hua Rong and Pang Wanchun each used a spear, fighting back and forth, and it was difficult to tell who was the winner.

But Lu Cheng saw that Pang Wanchun was still slightly inferior in spearmanship, and he would eventually lose to Hua Rong.

Sure enough, the two fought for fifty or sixty rounds, and Pang Wanchun was stabbed in the shoulder by Hua Rong and lost his fighting ability.

Then, Xiao Wenhou Lu Fang was defeated by Dong Ping, and Hua Rong and Dong Ping ushered in the final battle.

In terms of close combat, Hua Rong naturally couldn't beat Dong Ping.

A ring match was about to end, and Lu Cheng was also ready to win over and distribute the people in front of him...
