Looking at the cavalry in front of him, Zhao Lijiao felt happy in his heart. Although there was no expression on his face, he was very happy in his heart... For so many years, he never thought that the Ming Dynasty would have such elite cavalry. Finally, he

You can express your ambition!

Suddenly, smoke and dust rose in the distance. Zhao Shujiao was stunned for a moment and frowned slightly. How could someone race here? He stared at the person closely. Could it be that there was a war?

Not long after, the war horses neighed, their front hooves flew, and a man and a horse stopped not far away. Immediately sitting upright was a pretty-faced general, who looked to be about twenty years old. He was wearing a helmet and armor, and his robe was belted.

A military general. His eyebrows are divided into eight parts and his eyes are as bright as stars. Zhao Zhijiao couldn't help but admire in his heart, what a young general!

But I don’t even know this person. Judging by his uniform, he is a deputy commander in chief. When did Liaodong have such a young deputy commander in chief? Was he just transferred here?

When the horse came to the front of Zhao's leadership, Cao Wenzhao cupped his fists to his chest and said loudly: "Cao Wenzhao, I have seen the general!"

Hearing this name, Zhao Shujiao was slightly startled. This person was actually Cao Wenzhao! The first military champion of the Ming Dynasty, his reputation was naturally quite big. In this land of Liaodong, no one had not heard of it. Unexpectedly

He actually came here!

Smiling and nodding, Zhao Shujiao clasped his fists and said, "It turns out he is Wu Zhuangyuan, Zhao is being polite! I wonder what General Cao is here for?" Wu Zhuangyuan paid homage to the deputy chief soldier. Zhao Shujiao naturally knew about this.

. Now Zhao Shujiao is also the deputy commander-in-chief, so he is naturally very polite to Cao Wenzhao.

"General Zhao, on the orders of the commander-in-chief, come to compete with General Zhao for the leadership position!" Cao Wenzhao said loudly with a bit of excitement on his face.

After being stunned for a moment, Zhao Leader nodded slowly, looking at Cao Wenzhao again with scrutiny in his eyes. This time, 40,000 new cavalry were formed, with a total of four commanders and eight deputy commanders!

This commander is an official position in the new army, representing the command power of 10,000 cavalry. The official is the commander-in-chief! It can be said that the position is high and powerful, and it is the most popular official position in this restructuring. Everyone wants to be a cavalry commander, but the position is limited.

!

Since these days, we have been selecting commanders and deputy commanders, and now they are almost confirmed. Among them, He Shixian and You Shigong originally commanded a cavalry. These two people gave up a lot in order to command the cavalry. But He Shixian also

He failed to become the commander because he lost the battle for the leadership to Sun Chengzong's brother, Lu Xiangsheng, who was both civil and military.

Among the rest of the cavalry, Zuo Liangyu got his wish and became the commander. His deputy commanders were Wu Xiang and He Kegang. Wu Xiang was Wu Sangui's father, and He Kegang was proficient in bow and horse and had extraordinary martial arts! The commander of the other cavalry was Zhang Zhaolin.

This is a name that Zhao Shujiao has never heard of. It is said that it was borrowed from the Qi Jiajun, and it is very special. His two lieutenants also came from the Qi Jiajun.

Qi Jin was ordered by Emperor Tianqi to train naval officers, and some of them were unable to fight on the water, so they were sent to Liaodong. After Sun Chengzong inspected the talents of these people, he greatly appreciated them.

The last cavalry now has only two people, one of whom is Zhao Shujiao himself, and the other is Cheng Dedong, an old general from Liaodong. This Cheng Dedong is a general who uses double hammers and is very powerful. It is not easy for Zhao Shujiao to defeat him.

It took a lot of effort.

Looking at Cao Wenzhao sitting on the horse, Zhao Lejiao didn't dare to have any contempt. This man was this year's top martial arts scholar, so he must be outstanding. If he wasn't careful, he would definitely fall into trouble.

However, Zhao Lijiao would not show weakness and asked the training soldiers to stop and form a circle. Zhao Lijiao and Cao Wenzhao competed inside.

The soldiers were naturally very happy for such a competition, and they were convinced by the commander chosen in this way!

Holding a fist towards Cao Wenzhao, Zhao Lejiao said in a deep voice: "General Cao, no matter who wins this time, from now on you and I will go into battle to kill the enemy. I hope we won't hurt our harmony!"

"Don't worry, General Zhao. Although Cao Wenzhao is young, he is not a small-minded person. After today's martial arts competition, I will invite my elder brother to drink. I will not come back until he is drunk!" Cao Wenzhao also understood in his heart. Moreover, the life of a martial artist is bold and bold.

Said with a smile.

The two people were preparing to compete at the foot of the city. Sun Chengzong and several people on the city were watching, obviously they had been looking forward to this competition for a long time!

"Commander, it seems to be a wonderful competition! Why didn't the commander send someone to call Xiaguan? Fortunately, Xiaguan's nose is long enough!" Someone whispered, and then someone came over.

Looking back at the people behind him, Sun Chengzong suddenly showed a smile on his face and said: "Fei Bai is here! Come here quickly, it's about to start!"

The people around all bowed and saluted, saying loudly: "See Xiong Jinglue!" The person who came was none other than Xiong Tingbi, the Liaodong Jinglue!

Waving his hands to indicate that everyone was exempt from courtesy, Xiong Tingbi walked to the crenellations of the city wall, looked out, and asked Sun Chengzong on the side: "One is the top martial artist, and the other is a veteran general on the battlefield. Who do you think will win, the commander-in-chief?"

Smiling and shaking his head, Sun Chengzong said helplessly: "It's useless to ask me about this matter, Jiandou, tell me who will win!"

Lu Xiangsheng frowned and looked at the two people below, and said in a deep voice: "General Zhao's big iron gun is heavy and very powerful, but it is less flexible. Although General Cao's silver gun is light, it is fast. This student

You can’t predict the outcome either!”

"Okay, look! They're all fighting!" Sun Chengzong pointed at the two people under the city and said with a smile.

At this time, Zhao Lejiao and Cao Wenzhao had already taken action. Dust was flying for a while and weapons clashed. The surrounding soldiers shouted loudly, drums beat and the atmosphere was extremely lively.

At this time, neither of the two people was in the mood to care about this. Both of them stared at each other with burning eyes. Although they did not underestimate each other in their hearts, they were both surprised when they actually made a move.

Feeling the numbness in his hands, Cao Wenzhao sighed in his heart, what a great strength! Although he is not particularly strong, he is not weak! The two spears intersected, and his hand was actually numb. This strength cannot be underestimated.

.

Zhao Lejiao on the other side also frowned slightly and looked at Cao Wenzhao in surprise. At this time, he already understood why Cao Wenzhao was able to win the top prize in martial arts. This skill was really extraordinary.

Feeling the cold wind under his armpits, Zhao Shujiao was indescribably shocked. One horse and three shots were not very fast. Even if he tried his best, he might only be one horse and two shots, but it seemed that Cao Wen

It seems that the edict has not yet used its full strength.

He flapped his horse and rushed towards Cao Wenzhao again. He couldn't recognize the bear at this time!

The competition continued, and the field was full of jubilation and cheers. Finally, after thirty rounds, Cao Wenzhao took off the tassel of Zhao Lijiao with one shot, and the winner was determined in the competition.

Sun Chengzong looked at the two people standing in front of him with a smile, nodded with satisfaction, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, not bad! Very good! You two must cooperate sincerely in the future, and don't let me live up to my trust, let alone

Broken the Emperor’s trust!”

"Please rest assured, Commander, I understand!" The two men nodded at the same time and said in a tacit understanding.

"Okay, you go!" He waved his hand and told everyone to disperse, while Sun Chengzong, Xiong Tingbi and Lu Xiangsheng walked slowly on top of the city.

Suddenly an eagle flew over. Sun Chengzong stopped Lu Xiangsheng who was about to shoot an arrow and said: "Jiandou, the eagle flies in September, do you know what this means?"

He was slightly stunned, but this could not help Lu Xiangsheng, and said in a deep voice: "Returning to my teacher, the reason why the eagle flies in September is for hunting. Winter is coming, and it will be the hunting season soon!"

Nodding with satisfaction, Sun Chengzong turned his gaze to Xiong Tingbi and said, "Fei Bai, what do you think?"

"Yes! It's time to hunt, and not only the eagles, but also the people are here! I believe there will be no peace on the Jiannu side. The imperial court has blocked the way of the slaves. This year is not a good year, and the days of Jiannu are also bad.

It's not a good time. This year Nurhaci fought on the grassland and basically pacified Mobei. Now he has about 150,000 troops, which is a great increase in strength!" Xiong Tingbi had a bit of helplessness on his face, but his tone was unusual.

Calm and not at all worried.

Sun Chengzong smiled softly, with a bit of nostalgia on his face, and said: "I encountered an attack by the Jian Nu as soon as I arrived in Liaodong. I hope they will come soon this year! It's just a good time for me to test the combat power of the new army.

"The commander-in-chief's strategizing is the prosperity of the country and the blessing of the people!" Xiong Tingbi on the side said with a smile on his face, respectfully,

"Report!" A soldier came and knelt down in front of the two of them, and the conversation was interrupted!

After being slightly startled, Sun Chengzong said without changing his expression: "Speak!"

"Commander, Master Yang Lianyang is here!" The soldier kneeled there respectfully and said loudly.

Yang Lian is here, is there something going on? After thinking about it, he said to the soldiers: "Lead the way from the front!"

When he saw Yang Lian, Sun Chengzong was stunned. This Mr. Yang was wearing coarse cloth and was tinkering with something in front of the carbon basin. His hands were dark and there were a few black streaks on his face. He looked quite funny. But his actions

But he was very serious, with beads of sweat on his forehead, and his expression seemed very excited.

Without disturbing Yang Lian, several people quietly walked around Yang Lian to see what he was doing. Yang Lian seemed to be rummaging around in the carbon basin. When he got closer, he discovered that it was a long thing with a thick middle and two sides.

Thin and dark.

"Mr. Yang, what kind of treasure are you getting? It looks very precious!" Xiong Tingbi looked at Yang He and said softly with a smile on his face.

When he looked up and saw several people, Yang Lian didn't say anything. He reached out and picked up a dark object and broke it open. A lot of hot steam suddenly came out of it. It was not black and exuded a light fragrance.

Yang Lian reached out and handed the things to several people. Yang Lian smiled and said: "Try it, taste it all!"
Chapter completed!
