Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 263 Bow Shooting Competition ([-])

Liu Yu didn't expect the recruitment to be so smooth. He originally thought that the two of them would wait until Xu Rong was defeated before joining the army, but he didn't expect that they would both swear allegiance so soon.

This is not only because of Liu Yu's virtuous corporal, but also because of the subtlety of the plan to cut Dong, the two realized that Liu Yu is a wise master who can be entrusted.

It is because Liu Yu's hard power has reached a level comparable to any prince.

A prince with strength and vision is enough to attract celebrities to vote for him, not to mention that Liu Yu is still a majestic prince with a strong root.

After gaining the allegiance of Xun You and Zhong Yao, Liu Yu immediately assigned tasks to them.

Both of them are capable and capable people. Once they recognize the master, they will assist wholeheartedly, and they both clasped their fists and prepared to go.

……

In the afternoon, Liu Yu took Xun Yu to the underground palace where grain was stored outside the city.

Because Dong Zhuo ordered him to be responsible for delivering food and grass to Niu Fu and Xu Rong's armies, Liu Yu decided to send food directly from the underground palace, saving the step of storing it in Taicang.

On the other hand, Liu Yu had no soldiers and horses, and Dong Zhuo only ordered him to be responsible for transporting grain and grass, but did not transfer troops to him. Therefore, the task of transporting grain and grass this time could only rely on Ma Teng's troops.

However, it is precisely because of Dong Zhuo and Li Ru's suspicion and restriction of Liu Yu that Liu Yu can use his own people more unscrupulously, making it easier to formulate and implement some plans to cut Dong.

Ma Teng has long since become Liu Yu's most loyal supporter. As soon as he heard Liu Yu speak, he asked the adjutant to return to the camp on the spot and sent [-] soldiers to help.

"It's easy to go to Liang County in the southeast, but we also need to beware of bandits. Wen Ruo and the other three are gentlemen, let Ma Chao be a vanguard officer for Wen Ruo!"

"My lord is very considerate, and I also think it's so good!"

Xun Yu was assigned to be the commander of grain transportation in the southeast, but the escort of grain and grass was only superficial, and the real purpose was to unite with Zhu Jun to launch an attack on Xu Rongjun.

As a liaison officer, Xun You had already gone to Mount Funiu with the token from Liu Yu.

Zhong Yao is in charge of staying with Xun Yu to help, but both of them are civil servants and advisers, so it's okay to organize and plan a strategy, but it takes a super warrior like Ma Chao to actually command the fight on the battlefield!
In addition, with Dong Zhuo's order this time, Liu Yu can also generously ask his people to take away the food, and wait until halfway to intercept the small half of it and bring it back to the underground palace on the hill.

So Huangfuyan's action tonight was cancelled, and Ma Chao didn't need to compete with Yan Xing in bow shooting tonight.

When they heard that the competition was about to be cancelled, all the soldiers in the barracks beat their chests and yelled that it was a pity.

The bets are all set, but the two sides of the competition are unable to start the war due to some circumstances. This is how the trader is willing to return the reward.

For a while, the military camp on the underground palace was noisy and fighting endlessly.

Only Yan Xing called it a fluke when he heard the news, and said in his heart that after two draws, he had won the approval of his soldiers.

Yan Xing walked in the camp relaxedly, and when he saw some soldiers arguing about this matter, he also went up to him and shouted it's a pity.

"Hey! I wanted to win Ma Chao to get some weapons to expand the army, but I didn't expect him to be cowardly... Alas! I can only blame Ma Chao for being too lucky. If it weren't for the king of Zhongshan who brought the order from the Grand Master, the army would be killed tonight. He needs to look good!"

Yan Xing was bragging and talking harshly everywhere, so that many uninformed soldiers thought that Ma Chao was afraid of Yan Xing, so he resorted to out-of-the-box tricks.

Ma Chao didn't say anything about this matter, but after the food was shipped properly, he came to the barracks and announced loudly.

"Son-in-law Yan has been at ease for most of the day. Could it be that he was relieved because the competition was suspended?"

"Don't worry, when the young master finishes delivering the grain and grass, he will definitely come in time to compete with Yan's son-in-law! Also, Yan's son-in-law had better prepare the three thousand equipment in advance, and wait to lose!"

At this time Yan Xing was resting in the big tent, and when Ma Chao declared that he would continue the competition after returning, he couldn't help but feel agitated.

"Why is this Ma Chao still working hard? Does he really think that bow shooting can rival me?"

In order to save face, Yan Xing rushed out of the big tent and pointed at Ma Chao and shouted loudly: "Ma Chao, do you think I will be afraid of you? If you have the ability, just increase the bet to five thousand!"

Ma Chao laughed loudly when he heard the words, "Five thousand is five thousand, but I'm afraid that son-in-law Yan will not be able to afford it if he loses!"

Ma Chao has the support of Liu Yu and Ma Teng, so the five thousand equipment bet is nothing to him.

But Yan Xing was just trying to make himself happy, forgetting that he only had [-] soldiers and horses, and if he lost, he really couldn't afford so many weapons and equipment to compensate him.

But Yan Xing had just established his prestige in the army, how could he let Ma Chao laugh at him.

"If I lose, although I don't have five thousand equipment to compensate you, I can take these soldiers as compensation!" After speaking, Yan Xing pointed to the barracks, indicating that Ma Chao could choose soldiers at will if he won.

"Is that true?" Ma Chao smiled jokingly.

"Of course it is true!" Yan Xing still believed that his archery skills were superior, and wanted to make a fortune by taking advantage of this opportunity, so he made a bet with Ma Chao on the spot.

At this time Liu Yu came out from the underground palace, and he sighed helplessly when he saw the two fighting fiercely there.

"Ma Chao is still a bit too frivolous, he may not be able to win Yan Xinglai by shooting with a bow!"

In some records of later generations, Liu Yu remembered that Yan Xing was good at bow shooting in addition to being good at sneak attacks, and Ma Chao's shooting skills Liu Yu knew very well that it could only be regarded as a top-notch talent. At least the current Ma Chao has no super-class shooters. Strength.

Liu Yu definitely couldn't watch his apprentice lose the competition, and he felt that in addition to helping Ma Chao, he could also earn some soldiers and horses and weapons, so it was worth wasting some time.

Ma Chao and Yan Xing continued to quarrel with each other, Liu Yu stepped forward and coughed lightly, and then everyone shut up and dared not speak nonsense.

"Since the two of you insist on winning or losing, then... I will let Liangcao set out tomorrow. You two should prepare, the competition will begin immediately!"

Liu Yu easily issued the order to suspend the delivery, which made all the soldiers in the barracks cheer loudly after hearing it.

"Great, King Zhongshan ordered that the competition can continue!"

"Really, then I will continue to beat General Yan Xing to win!"

"I beat Ma Chao to win!"

"..."

Soon the barracks, which was originally lifeless, became lively again because of the start of the archery competition.

Ma Chao was very excited when he heard that Liu Yu had given the order to conduct the bow shooting competition immediately.

He said happily: "In fact, there is no need to set off tomorrow, I only need to win Yan's son-in-law in an instant!"

Yan Xing had the feeling that he had dug his own hole, that he had cheated himself, but for the sake of face, he could only grit his teeth and persist.

"Ma Chao, don't be crazy, let you know how powerful I am Yan Xing today!"
