Chapter 53 Military Parade
Liu Bian summoned civil and military officials to discuss military affairs, and suddenly soldiers under his tent came to report, and a member of Cao Cao's clan came, so Liu Bian summoned him immediately.

Not long after, two strong and powerful men stepped forward.

"Caomin, Xiahouyuan, Xiahoudun kowtowed to His Majesty, Caomin heard that His Majesty went north to Bingzhou, and came here to join His Majesty! I beg His Majesty to take you in!" Brother Xiahou knelt down and shouted loudly.

It turned out that although Xiahouyuan and Xiahoudun were children of a family, they were simple-minded and didn't understand benefits. They just made friends with Cao Cao and ignored Cao Song's orders, secretly ran to Bingzhou and defected to Liu Bian.

Liu Bian stood up, went to His Royal Highness, helped the two of them up, and said cordially: "I heard from Meng De a long time ago that he has brothers Xiahou in his family, who are very skilled in martial arts. The first time I saw him today, he really deserved his reputation. The two are looking forward to it!"

Although the Xiahou brothers are fierce generals, they are not reckless men like Zhang Fei. They still understand the basic principles of etiquette. Although they look happy, they also have the cheek and humility to say: "We two brothers are just a little bit strong, so we can't deserve such a generous favor from Your Majesty!"

Liu Bian, however, was amused by these two idiots, he was obviously happy, but he insisted on pretending to be modest.

"Hey, don't be humble, how about I order you two to be captains, each in charge of 3000 people?" Liu Bian said with a smile.

Immediately, the Xiahou brothers were very excited. Once they failed to achieve an inch of merit, they would be able to become the captain and take charge of 3000 people.

"While His Majesty orders, the grassroots will die!" Xiahouyuan and Xiahoudun said excitedly.

As soon as Liu Bian said this, Brother Xiahou was happy, but some people were not happy.

"Your Majesty, you promoted Lin Renzhao some time ago, and today you appointed him as a general. I have learned Brother Lin's skills. With this ability, Xiao Qi has nothing to say. But I was only a school lieutenant when I rescued him. Personally, I am a little bigger, I don't see much ability, and I haven't made any achievements, how can I be listed as a captain with me?" Yang Yansi said indignantly.

As soon as Liu Bian rolled his eyes, he knew what Yang Yansi was up to. It was false to object to Liu Bian's designation of the two as captains, but in fact his hands were itchy. Seeing that the two were powerful, he wanted to compete.

"What do you think?" Liu Bian looked at Lu Zhi, Li Xianzhong, Yang Zaixing and other generals.

"This..." Lu Zhi hesitated. Although he felt that Liu Bian's behavior was inappropriate, he knew Liu Bian's understanding of people.Li Xianzhong, Lin Renzhao, and Yang Zaixing were all talents he discovered. If His Majesty said that Brother Xiahou could be a general, he would be right!
"Your Majesty, I will see that these two people are powerful in martial arts, and their martial arts are not weaker than mine!" Li Xianzhong didn't say whether they are suitable or not, he just said that Brother Xiahou's martial arts are not weak, and he neither offends anyone nor expresses his opinion.

"Your Majesty, since Xiaoqi is not convinced, how about letting them compete? See how capable they are!" Yang Zaixing knew that Yang Yansi was eager to fight, so he helped Yang Yansi.

"Well, a martial arts competition?" Liu Bian pondered for a while.Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said: "Since we want to compete in martial arts, why don't we all participate, and by the way, bring the army out to practice, and let me see the results of the training during this period of time. Make me a great Han army!"

"I would like to abide by His Majesty's sacred words!" Lu Zhi said with a happy face, this is martial arts, it can boost the morale of the army, it is a great thing!

"Xiahouyuan, Xiahoudun, can you two agree?" Liu Bian asked Brother Xiahou again?

"Your Majesty, I am willing. If you are not victorious, I am willing to be a soldier!" Xia Houyuan and Xia Houdun were not cowards, so they immediately took up the challenge.

Yang Yansi yelled that it was not good, he just wanted to compete in skills and fought, he didn't really disagree with Liu Bianbai and the two as school captains.If they really lost, it would be bad if Liu Bian's face was swept away, and Liu Bian's face would not come down.

"Back then, outside Luoyang City, Lu Bu, who was known as the number one in the world, was scared away by my Yang Yansi who fired a few shots. Afterwards, my brother and I killed seven of them in the tens of thousands of Xiliang troops. Come out! In terms of martial arts, I don't accept anyone except my elder brother. Although Lu Bu also has two brushes, but he is greedy for life and kills, I don't accept him either!"

"Well, it's very unlikely for you to beat me, as long as you can go [-] rounds in my hands, I have no problem!" Yang Yansi was worried that Xia Houyuan and Xiahou Dun would lose face, so he tried to make up for it.

"Ah? You are Yang Yansi, the fallen Xiliang soldier who was killed with Yang Zaixing in Luoyang City?" Xiahou Dun was dumbfounded for a while. Is this Yang Yansi?All the children in their teens and twenties are still so rampant.

"Okay Xiaoqi, I have the final say on whether the two of them can be generals. If you have the palm, why don't you find Zaixing?" Liu Bian looked serious, and looked at Yang Yansi with a half-smile.

Hearing this, not only Yang Yansi, but the other generals all turned dark.It turned out that Yang Yansi was obsessed with martial arts and often competed with others.After Li Xianzhong and Lin Renzhao were abused by Yang Yansi, they stopped comparing with him.Yang Yansi didn't want to be abused by Yang Zaixing, so he turned his idea on the newly arrived Xiahou brothers.

"Don't mess around, or you will be handed over to Old General Yang!" Liu Bian shouted.

Yang Yansi shrank his neck in fright, and made a promise.

"By the way, the system, let me test Xiahouyuan's and Xiahoudun's thinking!" Liu Bian thought, and gave an order to the system.

"Ding, Xia Houyuan, force 94, commander 82, intelligence 68, politics 51!"

"Ding, Xiahou Dun, force 95, commander 80, intelligence 63, politics 49!"

"It's not bad. The military strength is first-class. It's enough to be a general. I just don't know why Cao Ren and Cao Hong didn't come. It's not convenient to ask now. I'll take some time to ask alone!" Liu Bian nodded in satisfaction, thinking to himself.

"Grand Lu, call up the army, perform martial arts in the school field, and all the generals will also compete in martial arts together, to show off our army's prestige!" Liu Bian said loudly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lu Zhi bowed his hands and accepted the order.

Liu Bian also rushed to the military camp outside the city with a group of civil and military personnel.

Since the off-season of farming came, when it was not busy, Liu Bian transferred back to the army, leaving only 1000 people in each place, and agreed to take turns to take care of the farming according to the month.So now, outside the eldest son's city, there are [-] troops in the barracks!

Lu Zhi went ahead quickly and called up the army first. When Liu Bian and his party arrived at the school grounds, the [-] troops had already assembled.

On the school field outside the field, battle flags fluttered, and rows of soldiers stood like iron towers, divided into several square formations, neatly arranged on the school field.He looked at Liu Bian who was approaching step by step with fiery eyes.

Since Liu Bian took control of the [-] Bingzhou Army, he found that although there were many troops, most of them were spearmen.

Although spearmen have guns, they also need to cooperate with other arms.Therefore, Liu Bian ordered Yang Zaixing to train [-] cavalry based on [-] horses.He also trained [-] sword and shield soldiers and [-] archers.

Surrounded by a crowd of civil and military men, Liu Bian strode onto the general's platform, and seeing the majesty of the soldiers, he couldn't help but feel proud, and he couldn't help but praise: "A month ago, the soldiers assembled for half an hour. It's only a quarter of an hour now, and the military appearance is so solemn and loyal, you all deserve it!"

On the school field, although there are [-] troops, it is extremely quiet.Only the breeze was blowing and the flag was rattling.

"Soldiers, you have been training for more than a month. Your Majesty will test your results today. Are you confident?" Veteran Lu Zhi rode out on his horse and shouted loudly in front of the battle.

All of a sudden, a deafening sound like a violent storm swept across the entire school grounds.

"There" a huge voice resounded above the school grounds!
