Chapter 6861: They are all acquaintances
By now, all the officers who wanted to participate in the competition have basically gathered a team of six. Even a guy like Zhao Yun, whose face was filled with the word "muddling through", has gathered his own team.

I don't mean anything else. A tree lives by its bark and a person lives by his face. We have to get a ranking anyway. It can't be too bad.

"Second brother, what is the current situation of your team?" Zhang Fei asked Guan Yu tentatively.

"After Wang Heng came back, my team was complete." Guan Yu put down the wine bowl, stroked his beard, half-closed his eyes, and spoke with a hint of coldness and arrogance.

Guan Yu has top-notch swordsmen and many old Yellow Turbans under his command. Elite troops of the fifth or sixth level are not a problem for Guan Yu at all, and he can even form several teams. But if you really want to say which team he is most confident in, it has to be Wang Heng, who was once Guan Yu's personal guard.

"I feel like the situation here is going to get worse." Zhang Fei said somewhat uncomfortably. The elite troops under his command had run away a few years ago, and there weren't many veterans willing to form a team with Zhang Fei now. However, they managed to form a team of six people.

Guan Yu was speechless when he heard this. There was nothing he could do. The veteran soldiers under Zhang Fei had basically followed Zhang Fei to fight in a few large-scale wars and then ran away. There was nothing he could do. The veteran soldiers were not stupid!

"Zijian, what's your situation now?" Zhang Fei saw Guan Yu fall silent, turned his head and looked at Hua Xiong and asked, "Where is your team?"

"My team is next door. Zhiran and the others were embarrassed to come, so I led the team. It should be Zhang Yong, Zhang Ping, Wu Xi, Nan Xi and others. We can still form a team with the top veterans from Liangzhou. But I heard from Zhiran that Zhang Yong formed a team by himself, so I didn't pay much attention to it." Hua Xiong said with a somewhat boastful tone. There was nothing he could do. He didn't have to worry about anything.

"Considering that Gongyou will be back during the New Year, and the civil construction team has already registered with the Taiwei..." Zhao Yun said to Zhang Fei with some sarcasm.

"Sun Qing." Zhang Liao looked at Zhang Fei with some curiosity when he heard that. He had no grudge against Zhang Fei, and they had fought together many times, so they had a good relationship.

"Gong You's construction corps has many elite veterans, including more than a dozen who have mastered the sixth level of smelting. It is understandable that they can form two civil engineering teams." Zhang Fei explained in a muffled voice.

Again, in terms of numbers, Sun Qian is definitely among the best among the veterans. Although the actual combat skills of these engineering guys are somewhat lower than those of the elite who have been fighting all year round, the use and development of their talents are not much worse than those of the guys on the front line, and may even be better.

"Speaking of which, Lao Zhang, where is your team?" Zang Ba asked curiously. His team has been formed. It is not very strong, but his status and position are there, and he also has the blessing of a hidden identity. A team of tough guys has already been arranged.

"It's ready." Zhang Fei said unhappily.

"Tell me about it." Zang Ba asked in an ignorant manner. Only someone like him who was familiar with him would do that. If it were someone else who was so ignorant, Zhang Fei would have to give him a punch as big as a sandbag.

"Jiang Fei, Wu Man, Gao Ming, Bai Fan, Wang Gui, and Kang Guang." Seeing this group of people asking questions, Zhang Fei did not hide it and directly stated the six-man team he had formed.

"Uh, isn't Wang Gui my Sima?" Hua Xiong scratched his head. What was going on? Why did he jump to Zhang Fei's side? Shouldn't he have joined me?
"Isn't Bai Fan the princess's bodyguard?" Zhao Yun looked at Zhang Fei with a puzzled expression.

"I can understand Wu Man and Gao Ming. After all, you did command the Youyun Cavalry." The cold Guan Yu naturally said whatever he wanted to his family members.

"Uncle San, your team feels like it was completely cobbled together." Under Guan Yu's gaze, Guan Ping spoke the second half of the words on behalf of Guan Yu.

"Stop talking nonsense and just tell me if this team is okay?" Zhang Fei's face turned dark, but he was not polite at all. It was not easy for him to put together such a team.

There were only a little over 200 veterans of the sixth and seventh ranks in the Han Dynasty. Therefore, even if a general did not know some of the top veterans, the generals present could roughly match them up by comparing them with each other. After comparing them, it was discovered that the team formed by Zhang Fei seemed to be put together by finding people from all over the place.

It's not that they are not strong, on the contrary, this team is quite good. After Wang Gui was discharged from the army due to injury, he returned to Ganges and, without strong command ability, he managed to reach the twelfth level of nobility.

Bai Fan was able to be pulled in as Liu Tong's official guard, even if it was just to make up the numbers. Considering that Zhang Wang and Ji Xuan, veterans from the Northern Noble family, had passed the loyalty test and had reached the sixth level of strength, they still could not obtain this kind of close-attendant guard duties, which was enough to show Bai Fan's strength.

Wu Man's fastest finishing move structure is no joke. Gao Ming's ordinary Youyunqi structure has always had amazing performance in actual combat. Although the vacuum gun as a finishing move is often ridiculed by those very special finishing moves, the continuous vacuum gun is really powerful in output!
There is no need to introduce Jiang Li. The strongest in Zhang Fei's team is Jiang Li. As long as Jiang Li does not encounter those outrageous mechanism monsters with full equipment, he can retreat safely even if he cannot defeat his opponent. Do you understand the value of wrestling with Zhao Zhen, who has not won yet?

To be honest, Zhao Zhen has been blocking the door of the Medical College so many times, and only Hasgart and Jiang Xu from Rome were the ones that Zhao Zhen could not defeat no matter how hard he tried.

There was no way. The former's size and weight completely restrained Zhao Zhen. As for Jiang Fei, Zhao Zhen had no way of breaking his defense without weapons. Jiang Fei looked the same in height and size as Zhao Zhen, but Zhao Zhen weighed about 200 pounds, while Jiang Fei weighed about 400 pounds. There was no way he could beat him!
Zhao Zhen, who is a powerful type, could only leave a red mark on Jiang Fei at most when he hit him. It would be useless without weapons. The density is 1.5 times higher than the peak value of mammals.

Anyway, to use Jiang Guang's words, when he activated the second stage of Heavenly Demon, the only one who dared to kick him hard without using weapons was Jiang Fei. He was afraid of being kicked to death by the others. Only Jiang Fei dared to hold onto his legs when he kicked him. What kind of beast was he!

"It seems that, except for Kang Guang who is your personal guard, the others are just cobbled together." Zhao Yun said with a bit of sarcasm.

"The others have also been my subordinates!" Zhang Fei said unhappily, "Anyway, this is my team, what about you?"

"We are all here now." Guan Yu said happily on Wei Yan's behalf.

"Speaking of which, Wen Ze is not here, and Qingzhou and Yanzhou are forming their own teams. It's a pity. You know, these two teams are really strong." Hua Xiong smacked his lips. If he didn't already have a favorite to win the championship, he would have wanted to recruit these two teams.

"There are some things that need to be resolved privately." Guan Yu was very clear about the things at the bottom, so he simply mentioned it. "Speaking of which, there are some things I need to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Zhang Liao asked curiously.

"The palace is also arranging people to participate, and you can figure out the rest on yourselves." Guan Yu said expressionlessly. He had already met Xiong Yi. As a famous general who had already figured out what the Bin Shi Xiang ceremony was from history, when he saw a team of such people, he knew what the Four Saints were planning to arrange for the participants.

To be honest, Guan Yu even wanted to chop Xiong Yi to pieces at that time, but considering that the opponent behaved like an ordinary person and had already registered as a member of the Chu Palace team, Guan Yu took a look and did not make a move. After all, he had heard the jokes about the palace, and Guan Yu was very interested in the fact that his opponent was the Four Saints or something.

"I've also met those veterans. They're considered strong, but they're still quite far from the best veterans." Zhao Yun shook his head and said. He had also met the six veterans from Chu arranged by Wu Qi. Recently, this group of people could even communicate with each other, at most with a little dialect, and were no different from ordinary veterans.

There was no other way. Wu Qi's old soldiers did suffer a great disadvantage in terms of height and weight. If their height and weight were adjusted randomly, Wu Qi's old soldiers would need some time to adapt. So Wu Qi could only make adjustments according to the state of the demon god when his original body still existed. In this way, even though these were the backbones of the royal family of Chu, they were restricted by the environment at that time and their height and weight were generally only 1.7 meters tall and their weight was no more than 140 grams.

"Are they Xiong Yi and the others?" Xu Chu suddenly realized what Guan Yu and the others were talking about. After all, he followed Liu Bei around everywhere. Even if Xu Chu couldn't call out the names of the old soldiers Liu Bei knew, he at least had an impression of them. Therefore, the six seventh-level warriors who he didn't know at all were also objects that Xu Chu had to pay attention to.

"Yes." Guan Yu nodded.

"It's just so-so. Those six guys definitely can't beat my group of six." Xu Chu said very proudly. It sounded a bit exaggerated, but in fact, it was true.

There was no other way. In order to make the demons he summoned look like humans, Wu Qi weakened them too much. If we compare them to the current situation, the six demons Wu Qi summoned were only level seven, and their mechanisms were of the type that could fight head-on. Facing Xu Chu's group of six...

You should know that the Demon God experienced the era of Sun Wu and entered the era of Wu Qi. After being strengthened by Wu Qi, he possessed defense accumulation and body god, which is the predecessor of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration. Originally, when Wu Qi's version of the Demon God fought, he should have activated the Heavenly Demon Disintegration at the first move, and was truly invincible at the same level.

However, in order to make his demon god look like a human, Wu Qi blocked the Heavenly Demon Disintegration. Without the Heavenly Demon Disintegration, Wu Qi's demon god would have been a dead giveaway when facing Xu Chu's six-man group.

It is not so restrained when playing against other teams. After all, other teams have some mechanisms, so it is not really a pure crushing by force without any other tricks.

To a certain extent, Wu Qi weakened his own combat effectiveness purely for the sake of increasing the so-called human content. After all, who would have thought that the upper limit of human beings these days would be so outrageous.

"Indeed, those six guys really can't beat Zhongkang's team." Zhao Yun was silent for a while and then said, his team might be overturned if they meet those six guys, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zang Ba, and even other people's teams might be overturned, only Xu Chu's team could be completely crushed!
"Hehehe, this is the team I carefully organized." Xu Chu said proudly.

"By the way, Huang Tao is in Zilong's team?" Zhang Fei suddenly asked.

"Yes, Huang Tao said that Zhao Zhen's team was very troublesome, and he might be defeated if he went there alone, so he came to join me." Zhao Yun nodded and said, Huang Tao can also be considered as Baima, although he has never joined Baima, but Huang Tao has joined Yueqi, and Yueqi can be considered as the predecessor of Baima.

"What kind of team is Zhao Zhen forming?" Hua Xiong asked Xu Chu with some curiosity. Huang Tao's actual combat skills were at the upper-middle level of the sixth level at most, just like Su Zong's. However, Huang Tao's mobility was outrageous. If he couldn't win and had to run away, even Su Zong would not be able to stop him. He was really fast, so Hua Xiong was really curious.

Huang Tao and Zhao Zhen actually have no grudge against each other, but Huang Tao is from Xuzhou. Shen Quan is dead, and Lu Kuan is old. Even if Huang Tao doesn't want to be the boss of Xuzhou, he has to step up, and this time he will have to settle the cause and effect. So this time Huang Tao is ready to fight with Zhao Zhen. After issuing the challenge, he got to know Zhao Zhen's team. Huang Tao thought, if he rushed in alone, he would definitely be doomed!
There was no way. Zhao Zhen's team structure was obviously designed to guard against Huang Tao. Although Zheng Ke and Bi Laoliu were not as fast as Huang Tao, they were both considered to be the fastest in the world. If they joined forces, they could stop Huang Tao if they could seize the opportunity.

In other words, if Huang Tao and Zhao Zhen fight, Huang Tao will have no chance of escaping if he loses.

"There are Zheng Ke and Lao Liu." Zhao Yun explained, "Originally, I was planning to recruit Zheng Ke into the White Horse Group. After all, Zheng Ke is a real White Horse Yicong."

When Huang Tao came, there was no need to pull Zheng Ke in. On the one hand, the positioning was repeated, and on the other hand, Zheng Ke was from Yanzhou. Although Zheng Ke was young and had not participated in the Xuzhou incident, at this time, his position had to be clear. Therefore, after Zhao Yun accepted Huang Tao, he no longer accepted the people from Yanzhou.

Of course Huang Tao also said that when he and Zhao Zhen were settling the cause and effect in the small world, his teammates didn't need to intervene. They just needed to restrain the others. The rest was up to him and Zhao Zhen.

"I'm afraid Huang Tao can't beat Zhao Zhen." Hua Xiong said seriously.

"I think so too." Zang Ba nodded and said.

It's not a question of strength. If Huang Tao relies on combat power and uses a 300-jin door panel giant sword to attack Zhao Zhen, his chance of winning is actually not low. After all, Huang Tao's incredible mobility is no joke.

But Huang Tao himself has a very serious problem, that is, Huang Tao's fighting will is actually not enough. He was framed as the leader of Xuzhou to settle the cause and effect, instead of taking the initiative to kill the enemy. To be honest, if Huang Tao's strength was given to Gao Yi, everyone present would definitely favor Gao Yi. Even if Gao Yi could not win, he could die together with Zhao Zhen.

Huang Tao does not have this kind of fighting will. He is like those old soldiers under Lao Cao who are used to avoiding death. At the beginning, he obviously chose to survive just to reduce losses, but when the war has reached this point and he really needs to risk his life, he will instinctively choose to survive.

The reason why Wang Ba chose to become an emergency soldier after Feng Ke spoke was because he had discovered his weakness - he refined his life-saving talents just to survive, but as he refined more and more life-saving talents, he would involuntarily hesitate when he should fight for his life. If he hesitated when risking his life on the battlefield, it would not only kill himself, but also his comrades.

"Everyone has their own aspirations. It's better not to worry about this kind of thing." Zhao Yun could understand Huang Tao's mentality. After all, it was not a time to fight to the death. Huang Tao was willing to die for the general and for the country. However, settling the cause and effect in the small world and diluting the memory was also a good result in Huang Tao's opinion. After all, Zhao Zhen was not even the main culprit.

"That's right." Hua Xiong said indifferently.

With the return of Huangfu Song, the atmosphere in Chang'an became more lively than before. After the banquet, Liu Tong ordered the opening of the outer palaces and distributed this year's snacks in advance, so that the people could have fun together. To be honest, this was the only thing that Liu Tong was most adept at doing.

"Are these our contestants?" Yuan Sui asked curiously as he looked at the guards brought by Stina. Although Yuan Sui did not expect to be at the top of the list in this martial arts performance, he wanted to at least strengthen the reputation of the Yuan family.

"Well, Sima Xia and Sima Su should have been in this team, but they went to join Emperor Huangfu and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry respectively." Stina explained casually.

"It's better not to call him Emperor Huangfu here." Yuan Tao warned quickly after hearing this.

"Okay, I'm used to being called that over there. By the way, is there anything else that needs my personal attention during my visit to Chang'an this time?" Stina asked with some doubt.

"The concubine's task is mainly to stay in charge. We two old guys will take care of other matters." Yuan Sui and Yuan Tao looked at each other and gave Stina a high degree of autonomy.

"Oh, then I'll prepare something to eat first." Stina took out the secret mirror and started tapping on it. Since she was already in Chang'an, she might as well try something she had never eaten before. It would be a real loss.

Seeing Stina running away with the secret mirror, Yuan Sui quickly arranged for the maid to follow her, and then called Xun Chen, Chunyu Qiong and others to go to the martial arts field.

"These six are from the Super Heavy Infantry, Heavy Cavalry Guard, Right Army Captain's Department, Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, and the White Disaster Legion." Chun Yuqiong introduced to Yuan Sui, "All of them are level 6. Although there is one level 7, he was seriously injured in Northern Europe before, and he is nearly sixty years old. His oath binding failed. At present, these six are the cards we can use."

"Has anyone completed the Nine Deaths of the Phoenix?" Yuan Sui asked with a frown.

"Yes, but too few. Over the years, there are only about twenty veterans who have completed the Phoenix Nine Deaths, and most of them are incomplete versions, and can only be resurrected three or four times. Each time they are resurrected, it will cause an impact on the Phoenix Nine Deaths they have smelted. Generally, after three or four times, the smelted Phoenix Nine Deaths will be disintegrated and cannot be sustained." Chun Yuqiong nodded and said, "There are only two who have truly succeeded, and one of them returned home after completing his studies..."

Yuan Sui was stunned when he heard this. What's going on? He returned home after learning the Phoenix Nine Deaths? Shit, is our Yuan family so useless? Can't you even win over a soldier?
"The old soldier who left, tell me his address and I'll send someone to win him over." Yuan Tao said expressionlessly. You guys can let this kind of person get away? Are you stupid? What are you doing?
"He's in Chang'an. I saw him before. He was teaching military commander Liu's eldest son martial arts." Xun Chen spoke directly. Yuan Tao's heart sank when he heard it, but he didn't say anything.

That’s right, among the veterans who taught Liu Chan martial arts, there was one who was a first-generation super heavy stepper. Not only did he fully master the core talent of the first-generation super heavy stepper, that is, the special idealistic talent where the slower the speed, the stronger the defense, he also copied Gao Lan’s Phoenix Nine Deaths.

Although it is difficult to refine the legion talents of officers into elite talents, there are veterans who can do it. For example, Zhang Gan and Bai Tao learned endurance from Guan Hai, and with the help of adaptability, they can cross the entire Beigui with just a full meal and a pot of water. Another example is Meng Dang. Xu Huang's talent was refined into an elite talent by Meng Dang.

Even some advanced secret techniques can actually be refined by soldiers. For example, Yu Mang’s third-person perspective is actually a combination of advanced secret techniques and special idealism, which is then successfully refined.

In short, there are all kinds of birds in the forest, and people who can do it are rare, but there are always some.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Our newly formed team is still reliable." Chun Yuqiong sighed and changed the subject. The people have run away, what can you say? I saw it in Chang'an, what else do you want to say?

"How many sixth-level smelters do we in the Yuan family have now? I'm talking about those who can go to the battlefield. Don't count those who are still making use of their remaining energy in the rear." Yuan Tao asked very seriously.

"Sixteen." Chunyu Qiong answered immediately.

At this time, Deng Tong had already brought people to visit. Although the main force of the Deng family was in Eastern Europe, there were many marquises in the Deng family, so Deng Tong had been stationed in Chang'an for the past two years. So when he heard that the old Yuan family had returned from the banquet, well, let me be frank, he watched the old Yuan family return from the banquet at the table, and Deng Tong went back to his own house to wash up and then came to visit.

"Mr. Yuan, I heard that our team is coming. Let me see, what is our target this time?" Deng Tong is still as speechless as he was back then. What does he mean by heard? No matter how outrageous the Yuan family is, for such a big event, they must bring a few members of the Deng family. After all, they are allies of the same level!
Think about it, when Stina came, she even brought Yong Kai with her, so how could she not bring the Deng family?

"Marquis Gaomi." Chunyu Qiong, Xun Chen and others saluted Deng Tong, and Deng Kai, who had been keeping a low profile in the Yuan family team, also hurried over to follow his own patriarch.

"Oh, these are the ones, right? Let me see. Oh, Gao Fei, I remember you are my nephew's husband. Wanqi Yao, you too. Oh, Bu Wan and Wenxing, you two are my sister's husbands-in-law. Diao Mo, you and Miao Ran are of a higher generation." Deng Tong took a quick look at them. Wow, they are all familiar faces!
Silent and silent, the author is simply useless, and has not been able to save any manuscripts so far.
