Chapter 38 Famous 2

Before Xu Jinghong and the emperor could speak, Xu Zhengnian began to refute: "Fang Shangshu's words are not good. As far as I know, whether a general can gain a foothold in the army and make great contributions does not just depends on his personal bravery. Throughout the ages, how many generals have there been, but how many of them can really fight against the enemy? Sun Wuzi, Wu Qi, Zhang Liang, Han Xin and other generations can be said to have never lost in their lives, but they have never heard that they can fight against each other.

As soon as Xu Zhengnian finished saying this, he immediately won the approval of many people. On the one, it is caused by the reputation of the old marquis, and on the other, he is indeed reasonable and cannot judge his role in the army by one person's martial arts.

I didn't expect Xu Zhengnian to be so obvious to take the lead for Xu Jinghong, and he also relied on his identity as a veteran, which made Fang Yuanshan feel a headache. For a moment, he really couldn't say why. The emperor looked at this, but his heart was full of surprises. Naturally, he was happy that Xu Jinghong could have less trouble to make his plan smoother. What is shocking is the change of attitude of the Xu family. He has known about the meeting between Xu Jinghong and Xu Zhengnian and his son two days ago. He was not very worried, but now it seems that there is a danger that things are out of his control. Once Xu Jinghong really returns home, it will be a big problem.

Because of this level of concern, Zhao Zhe did not immediately follow Xu Zhengnian's words to relieve Xu Jinghong, but looked at the people below with a smile and waited for the further development of the situation.

Sure enough, someone stood up to help Fang Yuanshan: "The marquis's words are indeed reasonable, but I think there is still room for debatable!" It was Ye Mingyang who spoke, and now only people with his status can get into the confrontation between the two. After a pause, he continued: "If Xu Jinghong is a military, middle and high school general, the marquis's words are indeed very appropriate, but he is just a bottom team, which may not work. The team leader is to lead his soldiers to fight head-on with the enemy. If he has no extraordinary ability, how can he be valued by Wang Chong and stand out?

"That's right. That's why I made such a proposal." Fangyuan Mountain echoed the donkey ground down the slope. Although the Xu family has an in-law relationship with the Fang family, they can't care about this much at this time.

Xu Zhengnian raised his white eyebrows and needed to say a few more words. Unexpectedly, he spoke before him. As soon as this man spoke, even he automatically stopped talking, because it was Xu Jinghong, the person involved in this matter. He nodded neither humble nor arrogantly and said, "What the adults said is very reasonable. Since everyone has doubts, I should try my best to satisfy everyone!" Just follow the meaning of Fang Shangshu and take the exam outside.

"Okay, Team Xu is really bold, and this is the only point I have to believe two points." Fang Yuanshan immediately followed and completely settled the matter. Of course, in this sentence, he did not forget to hurt Xu Jinghong and called him the team.

Xu Jinghong was just indifferent to this and did not respond at all. However, Xu Zhengnian saw that Xu Jinghong did not accept his feelings and insisted on being made difficult, but he was quite uncomfortable: "Is it that he is really full of confidence in himself and wants to make a name for himself? Or did he make this decision in order not to have anything to do with my family?

When Xu Zhengnian was worried about gains and losses, the emperor was very happy. It seemed that Xu Jinghong's position was still quite firm. So he immediately pushed the boat along the water and said, "Then let's speak to the distant mountain." However, what do you use to compare with him?

Fang Yuanshan was also prepared for this problem and immediately said, "Although I have never joined the army, I still understand some things. A soldier can only kill the enemy on the battlefield by two means: near and far. Those who are close are naturally fighting with fists and blades, while those who are far away are the skill of bowing and crossbows. Because of the limitation of time and venue, this immediate archery can be avoided. As long as Xu Jinghong can perform outstandingly in his bow and martial arts, it will be enough to convince people all over the world!"

"Well, Fang Shangshu's consideration is still very thoughtful. What do you think?" After listening to his advice, the emperor's heart became more stable. As far as he knows, Xu Jinghong's martial arts and archery are not low, and it must be impossible to have any more problems this time.

"I think this law is very good!"

"I also think this law is feasible!" ... Many officials on the field seconded, and some people said this with great interest. Obviously, they also wanted to see this fight.

I think we should be prepared for this matter. After all, there is something missing in one person's performance. It's better to find a person who can be short and long with Xu Jinghong. At this time, an official attached to the Fang family put forward a new proposal, which is naturally also in the design of Fang Yuanshan.

Naturally, all the ministers have praised it. They have never been afraid of big things, and it is better to have a more natural one. The emperor took a look at Fang Yuanshan with a beautiful face and knew that he had a conspiracy, but he didn't break it: "Okay, let's do it." But I don't know who to compare with Xu Jinghong?

"Since Xu Jinghong has made immortal contributions in the southwest, the imperial court will give him a heavy reward, and ordinary soldiers are naturally no match for him. Therefore, I recommended Wei Yanbin in the prison guard in the palace to compete with him. If he can compete with General Wei in shooting, it's not too late to choose others to compete with him in martial arts!" Fang Yuanshan immediately gave his choice.

It was okay for the literary ministers to hear this, and most of the generals had shown surprise. Who is Wei Yanbin? That is the best shooter in the capital. It can be said that no one in the capital is his opponent in bows and arrows. Now Fang Yuanshan pulls this man out and compares Xu Jinghong's shooting skills, and his intentions are naturally self-evident.

Xu Zhengnian naturally understood this, but because Xu Jinghong refused his kindness before, the old marquis was not angry and did not speak for him anymore. Seeing that even Xu Zhengnian, the oldest qualified, didn't say anything, the others also made a fortune, just waiting to see Xu Jinghong make a fool of himself.

Although he has never heard of Wei Yanbin's name, Xu Jinghong can also guess that this opponent is not easy to deal with from Fang Yuanshan's performance. However, he was still very confident in his ability, so he nodded and said, "Everything is up to your arrangement."

The emperor looked at Xu Jinghong, who was full of confidence, but felt a little uneasy. He didn't know whether this teenager could successfully pass this level? However, at this point, he could not allow him to go back on his word, so he had to order people to call Wei Yanbin and clear a place for archery in the square outside the Zhongji Hall.

In less than a meal, everything is ready. The ministers gathered the emperor out of the hall and stood on the high stairs. Below this is a field of nearly a thousand steps, and two targets have also been placed on the ground. At this time, Wei Yanbin had also arrived. He was a 27-year-old calm man. His armor was shining cold under the scorching sun, and he was not a good person to deal with at first glance.

When he knew that he would be compared with a team, there was no unexpected performance. But I don't know if it's because his mentality has reached the point of not being moved by external things, or he has known about it and is fully prepared.

"What should this comparison be like?" When the emperor saw that the two had stood opposite each other, he asked.

"Compeed with shooting, it is naturally more accurate than who shoots farther. General Wei, I don't know how far you can usually hit the target? Fang Yuanshan asked.

"Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, I'm not sure that I can hit the target 180 steps away." Wei Yanbin's answer was very sincere, but this was enough to move many people. One hundred and eighty steps, the target could hardly see what it looked like, and he could still hit the bull's eye, which shows his extraordinary eyesight.

"Team Xu, how about you?" Fang Yuanshan asked with a trace of mockery.

"Two hundred steps." Xu Jinghong's answer changed everyone's color. Their first reaction was that the boy was bragging. How could he shoot farther than Wei Yanbin? Some people also think that this is Xu Jinghong's strategy, which deliberately increases the difficulty in order to make Wei Yanbin make mistakes, so that he can fight.

Fang Yuanshan didn't care about this. He was still very confident in Wei Yanbin's ability, so he nodded and said, "In this case, put the target 200 steps away. Please show your skills."

After looking at each other, Xu and Wei went down the steps and finally stood on the bottom flat ground. Then several guards held a few pots of arrows and bows came to them and asked them to choose. After both reaching out and trying out those bows, they chose the most convenient one. Wei Yanbin chose the bow of Zhang Liangshi and Sandou, while Xu Jinghong went further and directly took Zhang Sanshi's.

After all, he was a good player. He could see the strength of Xu Jinghong's bow at a glance. Seeing that he actually chose such a heavy bow, Wei Yanbin's expression began to become solemn. If this teenager does not deliberately bluff and want to hit himself, he must have extraordinary bow and arrow attainments and must be cautious.

At this time, a string of crisp drums also sounded. When it paused, someone said: "This bow and arrow fight is based on ten arrows, depending on how many hearts they have to win or lose. In addition, this test has a time limit. Within the half-pillar incense, the test will end. No matter how many arrows there are! Now, let's start the test!"

With this order, a column of incense with a scale was ignited. At this moment, the eyes of everyone up and down, left and right fell on the two people, just to see the two people win or lose!
