Wujun, Qua County.

Outside Zhaojia Village, there are thousands of hectares of fertile land.

At this time, most of the spring plowing had passed, but the villagers still went out early and returned late. There was no way. The world was full of war and heavy taxes. They could only reclaim wasteland.

These people were carrying hoes and reclaiming wasteland with difficulty.

One of the women straightened up, wiped the sweat on their foreheads, looked at the eight-foot-foot-strong man not far away and said, "Xiaofan, why did you return home with this skill?"

"I want to tell me that if you want to live a good life, you have to join the army and make contributions. At that time, you can be appointed as a general and be blessed with your wife and children, so that your parents can also live a life of their lives."

Zhao Fan, who was busy opening up the land, paused, and then a hint of sneer appeared on his face. Perhaps it was a sarcasm, not to this woman, but to the world.

He joined the army in his early years and thought that even if he could not be a general with his martial arts, he could still be a clan. However, for several months he joined the army, he was just a cavalry.

Later, he experienced death battles and was outnumbered and seriously injured and returned home.

If he hadn't been for his great fortune, he would have probably left this troubled world.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fan shook his head and chuckled, "No, it's great to spend time with his parents in the village."

The woman shook her head and sighed, showing a regretful expression, and said, "Xiaofan, it's a pity to stay in the village with your ability."

"By the way, I heard that Zhang Xiu, the governor of Jingzhou, had a martial arts ceremony. He wanted to recruit warriors from all over the world. It is said that as long as he could win the first place, he could get a hundred gold coins and be directly awarded a general."

"Why don't Xiaofan, you try it? It's just right to avoid the busy farming season starting in early June. Even if you lose, it's not embarrassing. But if you win, then you become a general and your parents can live a good life, right?"

Zhao Fan paused, frowned slightly, fell into deep thought, and then continued to hoe the hoe in his hand, but a ripple appeared in his heart.

In the afternoon, he reclaimed some dry land.

When I got home, there were several thatched huts, and the yard was surrounded by fences and rocks. After looking at it, his father had not come back yet, so he probably had to go home in the dark.

Li looked at Zhao Fan in the courtyard, and smiled and said, "Xiaofan, wait a moment, and then go cook after my mother finishes these."

Looking at his mother, his face was filled with love, but it was also full of fatigue, which was the fatigue brought by life.

Zhao Fan clenched his fist tightly, secretly hated his incompetence, and immediately said in a daze: "Mom, I heard from Aunt Wang that Zhang Xiu of Jingzhou would hold a martial arts ceremony. As long as he could win the championship, he could become a general and he would still have money."

Li's Spinning Fabric stopped immediately, with nervousness in his eyes and he said anxiously: "Xiaofan, do you want to join the army again? I don't agree."

After saying that, Li sobbed in a low voice.

But she remembered that when her child returned from the army last time, his clothes and armor were stained with blood and dying. If it weren't for his hard bones, he would have been gone long ago.

Although it is a little harder now, the whole family is having a happy time together.

"Mom, this time I'm going to a martial arts competition. If I fail to achieve anything, I will return to my hometown."

"If you can win the top spot by chance, then the child will send someone to pick you up and live in a big house with your father, and never...don't live such a hard life again."

Zhao Fan looked firm, he wanted to try it.

At this time, Zhao Yan returned from outside the courtyard. He threw down a load of wood, looked solemn, and was arrogant without anger, saying, "Let Xiaofan go and try it."

"But..."

"Okay, Xiaofan is talented, how can he stay with us in this small mountain village all his life?" Zhao Yan's eyes were sharp and he immediately said, "Go to the second master's house in the village to buy some eggs, and I will replenish it for Xiaofan recently."

"Xiaofan, I have also heard of the martial arts published by Zhang Xiu, go and try it."

"You shouldn't go to the fields to work lately, be familiar with gunshots and martial arts. I'll take time to go to the mountain to get some wild animals to replenish your body tomorrow."

Zhao Zhen remakes Zhao Fan on the shoulder.

No one knows his son than his father. He knows that Zhao Fan knows filial piety, and he also wants to be a general, and only he knows all the things he has joined the army before.

"Yes!" Zhao Fan focused heavily.

There are many warriors all over the world who are shoulder to shoulder, but they all go to the position of general. It can be said that the winner will reach the sky in one step.

Many times faster than joining the army.

......

Yingchuan, Xuchang City.

Cao Cao threw the bamboo slips in his hand heavily and said unhappily: "This Zhang Xiu has introduced such a ridiculous method. Will the aristocratic families be dead?"

Cao Cao was so angry that he was stabbed by a family under his control by his own rule. Zhang Xiu dared to promote martial arts so blatantly.

Although the martial arts and literary performances are different, they will damage the status of scholars and should be tolerated by countless families.

"Lord, Zhang Xiu was born in Xiliang and fought for Jingzhou with military force. Relatively speaking, the Jingzhou family is far less restrictive than the lord."

"What's more, it has recently rectified Jingzhou and eliminated many corrupt officials. Everyone in the Jingzhou family is in danger, so how dare they care about such idiots."

Xun You bowed his hands and said softly.

Cao Cao was quite angry. He had a lot of burdens under his command and could not move them for a short time. After all, their influence was slightly weakened last time, and the entire Yanzhou was almost destroyed.

"Lord, it's not worth a few warriors. Now the lord already has Yan, Yu and Xu, and has a wealthy land in the Central Plains."

"Although the Central Plains has been through war for a long time, the land is fertile. The lord should work diligently at the moment to make the Central Plains return to the past, so that the Han Dynasty can be revived and the rebels can be eradicated."

Xun Yu said in a gentle face, holding his fists and said in a deep voice.

Now that the Central Plains has been decided, as long as we defeat Yuan Shao again, take down Jing and Yang, and revival of the Han Dynasty are just around the corner. I think with a capable minister like Cao Cao, the Han Dynasty will be prosperous.

Listening to Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao felt a little irritated. He was very kind to Xun Yu and did a lot of extraordinary things, but he pretended that he didn't see them.

But after so long, Xun Yu still had the Han Dynasty, which made him a little distressed.

On the other hand, Guo Jia saw this and chuckled with his fists and said, "Lord, Wen Ruo said it is right. Now we should prepare for our troops and rest."

"But before cultivating and resting, Jia thought that he should occupy two places first, otherwise..." Speaking of this, Guo Jia glanced at Xun Yu and continued: "Otherwise, there would be no hope of revival, and it would only turn into powder with this troubled world."

"When Fengxiao means Guanzhong and Nanyang?" Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and looked at Guo Jia and said.

"That's right, Guanzhong overlooks the Central Plains. Now Guanzhong is in chaos. The lord should take advantage of the chaos. Before that, the lord also ordered the Guanlong tyrant to kill Li Jue. I think it's almost obvious."

"When Li Jue dies, the lord should send good generals to take them. He can also recruit many powerful people in Xiliang, absorb the elite troops of Xiliang, form the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, and thus fight against Yuan Shao and even Zhang Xiu."

"As for Nanyang, its power is connected to Xuchang and Luoyang, which is only a few days away. And the horse is flat and there is no danger to defend. If you do not take Nanyang, the lord and Yuan Shao will face off against Zhang Xiuding to attack our army's camp, so you will be defeated."
