Chapter 695
Zhuge Liang selected the contents of the book of war, and assessed Wang Zhongsi, and Wang Zhongsi responded fluently.

Zhuge Liang was quite pleasantly surprised. After some examinations, Zhuge Liang found that Wang Zhongsi was a rare general.The inquiry at the beginning was nothing more than selecting a book of war. Later, Zhuge Liang made it more difficult and asked about every detail.

Wang Zhongsi was still answering fluently, expressing his thoughts and opinions.

After some assessment, Zhuge Liang was quite satisfied, and more than half an hour passed.Zhuge Liang looked at Wang Zhongsi and said with a smile: "Okay, you really know the art of war, so that's it, you don't need to compete in martial arts, I decided to make an exception and promote you as Yamen General!"

But Wang Zhongsi shook his head and said: "The governor doesn't have to be like this. In fact, villains are also good at martial arts. Please ask the governor to let me compete. I also want to know how far I am from the generals."

When everyone heard this, they looked at Wang Zhongsi with amused eyes.Now that he can directly serve as General Yamen, why bother to take the risk of a martial arts competition? It would be fine if he wins, but wouldn't it be embarrassing to lose?
Seeing this, Pang De got up and said: "Commander, I have finished my rest. Since King Zhuang wants to compare, I will compare with him."

Zhuge Liang nodded and agreed: "Forget it, let's compete tonight, and save time tomorrow. But Wang Zhongsi, since you insist on competing in martial arts, then the results of the strategy assessment will be ignored. If you want to be a soldier, you have to look at martial arts how!"

"En!" Wang Zhongsi nodded, stepped off the platform, and got on his horse. Pang De also got off the platform and mounted his horse. The two faced each other from a distance.

Wang Zhongsi was a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, one of the Five Tigers of the Xingtang Dynasty. If he was a commander, Guo Ziyi, Ge Shuhan and other generals were his subordinates at his peak.As the Jiedushi of the four towns of Hedong, Shuofang, Hexi, and Longyou, he controlled more than 20 soldiers and horses, occupying more than half of the Tang Dynasty, and controlled thousands of miles. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has never been such a thing.

And his martial arts are also quite high-strength. When fighting against Tubo, Tubo attacked in a big way. Wang Zhongsi rushed into the Tubo army alone with his cavalry, beheaded hundreds of people, and killed the Tubo army. Tubo was defeated.

The horse under Wang Zhongsi's crotch is called Claret Horse. It is red all over without a single hair, and it is extremely handsome.The machete in his hand was called the Golden Backed Tiger Head Knife. The blade protruded from the tiger's mouth, emitting a piercing light under the moonlight.

"General Pound, please enlighten me!" Torches were lit all around, Wang Zhongsi shouted loudly, and rushed towards Pound first.

Pang De also urged the Eastern war horse to charge towards Wang Zhongsi, and the two horses collided with each other in an instant.The two knives intersected in the air, and suddenly the flames burst out, emitting a dazzling light in the air.

"The system has detected that Wang Zhongsi and Pound are fighting. Wang Zhongsi's current basic force is 99, plus one for the bay red horse, one for the gold-backed tiger-head knife, and one for the current force. Pound's current basic force is 101 for one day of fighting, plus one for the iron machete." One, the moon shines thousands of miles away, plus one, the current force is 97!"

"The system has detected Pound's special attribute of death will, when Pound has a death wish, and when he goes out or fights, the commander will be increased by one, and the force will be increased by three!
The system detects that Wang Zhongsi's special attribute is fine cavalry. When Wang Zhongsi leads a small number of cavalry to attack the enemy, the force will be increased by two, and the commander will be increased by two.When Wang Zhongsi goes into battle or fights alone, his strength increases by three!
At present, Wang Zhongsi's elite cavalry attribute is triggered, and the force is increased by three, of course, the force is 104. Pang De's death will not be triggered, and the force is 99! "

The two fought back and forth, fighting for forty or fifty rounds in the blink of an eye. Pound gradually felt strenuous, and his spirit doubled.

But Wang Zhongsi was full of energy and became more and more courageous as he fought.

Zhuge Liang counted the rounds and saw that they had fought for fifty rounds, so he quickly summoned Jiang Wei and asked, "Bo Yue, how do you think the two are winning?"

Jiang Wei's eyes were full of astonishment, and he sighed: "This Wang Zhongsi is very powerful, but he has already gained the upper hand in fifty rounds. If it were me, I'm afraid I would lose after forty rounds!"

"This person's martial arts is so strong?" Zhuge Liang asked in surprise.

"It's not all. General Pound fought for a day. Although he rested for half an hour, his physical strength and spirit were exhausted after all..."

Zhuge Liangliang nodded his head and said: "Although that's the case, Wang Zhongsi is stronger than General Pang De, I'm afraid he can stand shoulder to shoulder with Gao Siji!"

Seeing this situation, Zhuge Liang quickly ordered the two to stop fighting. Anyway, they had already fought for fifty rounds.Wang Zhongsi had already reached the standard of a goalkeeper who sealed his teeth, so it would be of no benefit to continue fighting.

The two stopped and urged their horses to come under the general's platform. Pang De didn't care about his own disadvantage.Instead, he excitedly recommended to Zhuge Liang: "Captain, Wang Zhuang is highly skilled in martial arts, above me, he can be regarded as a general!"

Zhuge Liang nodded in satisfaction and said: "Okay, since that's the case, I will designate Wang Zhongsi as Yamen General. It's getting late today, so I'll wait for a rest. When I come to the government office tomorrow, I will announce your appointment and whereabouts."

The recruitment of talents this time is to fill the vacancies of generals in Yongliang. Some people want to go to Yongzhou, while others want to stay in Xiliang.Zhuge Liang had to carefully consider these things.

Early the next morning, Zhuge Liang convened the crowd and announced: "Among the ten of you, Wang Zhongsi is the strongest in martial arts, and Jiang Wei is the strongest. I decided to transfer Jiang Wei to Yongzhou, and Wang Zhongsi stayed in Xiliang."

Pang De nodded in satisfaction, besides Jiang Wei in Yongzhou, there was also Gao Siji, who was highly skilled in martial arts.In this way, Yongzhou is Gao Siji plus Jiang Wei, Liangzhou is Wang Zhongsi plus Pound, and the martial arts are roughly the same.

Pang De secretly praised Zhuge Liang for his fairness. If he changed people, he was afraid that he would have to transfer powerful people to his command.But Zhuge Liang transferred the weaker Jiang Wei to his command instead of Wang Zhongsi, who was both civil and military.

Zhuge Liang said again: "In this battle of Jincheng, the generals under Cao Dudu suffered more losses, while my Yongzhou suffered less losses, so I decided to take only Jiang Wei, Mengxuan, and Zhang Jin to Yongzhou."

"Captain, there are ten people at the moment, but you only need seven. Although Yongzhou did not suffer much losses, but there are too few generals, I'm afraid..." Pang De worried.

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "The remaining seven people are not all staying in Xiliang. Before leaving, Cao Dudu explained that his generals have lost a lot. If there are outstanding talents, they will send some. Zheng, Li Yi, Xu Jin and the other three went to the Western Regions, joined Governor Cao, and served under his command!"

The three of them were overjoyed when they heard this, but they didn't expect that they would be able to go into battle and kill the enemy as soon as they defected.

"The four of you will stay in Xiliang. After I leave, General Pang De will be in command of Xiliang's troops for the time being. You must not disobey!" Zhuge Liang looked at the remaining four Wang Zhongsi and said.

"The governor is leaving?" Pound was startled.

Zhuge Liangliang nodded and said: "That's right, I am the governor of Yongzhou, so I can't stay in Xiliang for a long time. If I hadn't been entrusted by Governor Cao to recruit talents, I would have gone back if the war ended. You are so young, if you don't go back to handle military affairs as soon as possible, I'm afraid this governor won't last long."

Pang De said bitterly: "Hey, our army is going to Xiliang, and the officials sent by the imperial court to deal with various places have not yet arrived. The governor can still handle government affairs when he is here. If there is one, I'm afraid I can't handle it well. "

Zhuge Liang shook his head and smiled wryly, there was nothing he could do about it.He had no choice but to comfort him and said: "Let's hold on for a few days. The governor will arrive in a few days, and the officials will also arrive. And General Wang Zhongsi knows a little bit about administration. If you can't handle it well, you can ask him to help."

While the two were discussing, there was a noise outside the door, Pang De frowned and scolded: "Who is making noise outside the door?"

The soldier came in, clasped his hands and said, "Report to the governor, a scribe came outside the door. Because he missed the examination time, he asked to see the governor."

Pound said angrily: "Although I missed the time, there is still an opportunity for assessment in the army, but I don't have the opportunity to serve as a general. You tell him the rules, and if you are messing around, drive him away!"

"The rules say it, but he wants to see the governor!"

"Hmph, now that you've said it, let's drive him away. The court only wants to obey the rules and not break the rules." Pound waved his hand and said.

"Wait a minute!" Zhuge Liang stopped the soldier and asked, "You said he was a scribe?"

"Well, he's a scholar, with a thin body, I'm afraid he can't even beat me!"

Zhuge Liang murmured: "Since he is a scholar, it is useless for him to go to the barracks for the assessment. Anyway, since he wants to see me, you can let him in."

After a while, a soldier came in with a scholar, about 27 or [-] years old, with an inch beard.He is seven feet tall, but a little thin. He is wearing a green robe, and he is very clean and energetic.Although the appearance is ordinary, but his face is righteous.

Zhuge Liang secretly praised, and asked: "What is your name, what do you need to see this general?"

"I'm Tianxiang below. I heard that the governor is recruiting talents. I missed the time. I have no choice but to come to see the general. I hope I can find an official position and serve the country!" Wen Tianxiang replied with his hands clasped.

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Well, it's right to recruit talents, but this time you are recruiting generals to fill the vacancy in Yongliang. I think you are thin and weak, so I'm afraid you don't know martial arts, and you are not good at riding and shooting, right?"

"I really don't understand it!" Wen Tianxiang nodded and said, "I even know a little bit about the art of war!"

"In that case, what are you doing here?" Pound said angrily.

Wen Tianxiang said neither humble nor overbearing: "Although I am not good at learning arts, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Now Liangzhou is waiting for prosperity. Governor Cao sent troops to the Western Regions again, and I am willing to contribute my modest strength."

"So you are willing to transfer you to the front line of the Western Regions?" Pound said coldly.

"Death without regret!"

Pang De sneered, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

"No one in life has died since ancient times, so keep your loyalty and history! If you can be loyal to the country, you will not be afraid of being smashed to pieces!"

All the generals looked at Wen Tianxiang with admiration, and Pound hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Pang admires his integrity. Please forgive me for his abrupt words earlier!"

"Don't dare!"

Zhuge Liang clapped his hands and praised: "It's a good life since ancient times, no one has died, and he has kept his loyalty and history. Now I will return to Yongzhou, and there are still many government affairs to be resolved in Liangzhou. I wonder if you are proficient in administration?"

Wen Tianxiang replied: "I understand a little bit!"

Zhuge Liang sent someone to immediately send several volumes of official documents for Wen Tianxiang to correct, and within a short time, the processing was completed.Zhuge Liang took a look and saw that the handling was flawless, so he smiled and said: "You don't have a little understanding of government affairs, but you are proficient in it. How about it, you stay in Xiliang to handle government affairs, and you will appoint generals. The right to appoint civil servants. I will return to Yongzhou and write to the emperor to decide your appointment!"

"Thank you, General!" Wen Tianxiang said gratefully.

Early the next morning, Zhuge Liang led Jiang Wei and three others back to Yongzhou.The other three went to the Western Regions to listen to orders under Cao Cao's command, while Pang De, Wang Zhongsi and others stayed in Xiliang, waiting for Chang Yuchun's arrival.
