Chapter 958: Setting up a Fight
"Could it be that the general wants the two of them to duel?!"

Zhao Yun was shocked when he heard Su Yao say that he would set up the arena himself to stop the fight.

However, Su Yao said: "It is true that they will duel, but it does not mean that they will fight each other."

"what?"

On that morning, the parade ground outside the west gate of Jincheng was crowded with people.

After receiving Su Yao's military order, all the soldiers gathered here, wanting to see how the general would resolve the fight.

The autumn wind blew up the yellow sand and blew across the temporary platform built in the center of the parade ground. Su Yao, wearing a red battle robe, stood on the platform, looking down at the densely packed soldiers below the platform.

Ma Chao and Yan Xing stood on both sides respectively, one of them was wearing silver armor and white robe, looking very heroic; the other was wearing black tights, looking calm and reserved.

The two of them stared at each other with eyes as sharp as knives, their gazes intertwined and collided in the air, as if to wipe out countless sparks.

"Commanders!"

Su Yao's voice echoed in the empty training ground:

"I'm sure you've all heard about what happened yesterday. Ma Mengqi and Yan Yanming had a private fight that almost led to a disaster. Today, I'm setting up a challenge here to give you an explanation!"

As soon as Su Yao finished speaking, the soldiers below the stage held their breath and focused.

The grievances and love-hate relationship between Ma Chao and Yan Xing was well known and widely circulated in Liangzhou.

Now that the general has set up a public challenge, everyone wants to see how he is going to solve the problem.

Then Su Yao's next words shocked everyone - a ban on private fighting!

As Su Yao raised his hand to signal, two personal soldiers immediately carried a bronze tablet about ten feet high and walked onto the parade ground.

There are eight huge official script characters engraved on the front of the stele - "Those who fight privately will be beheaded, and those who disobey orders will be executed", which glows coldly in the sunlight.

"From today on, any Han army officer who engages in private fighting will be executed immediately, regardless of victory or defeat!"

Su Yao's voice rolled across the training ground like thunder:

"Han Xin suffered humiliation under the crotch in the past, but eventually became a great military genius. Lin Xiangru drove his chariot to avoid Lian Po, thus protecting the State of Zhao from danger. Today, I will not abandon justice for personal grudges. I hope you will put the overall situation first!"

All the soldiers below the stage were horrified. Ma Chao and Yan Xing were even more shocked and clenched their fists.

Su Yao turned and looked at the two of them, his tone slightly slowed down: "But considering that both of you are promising talents, some grudges cannot be resolved with just one sentence, I will give you a chance to vent your anger."

Then, Su Yao leaped into the ring.

"Challenge me!"

Su Yao shouted in a voice as loud as a bell:
"Today I have set up a duel. Anyone who is dissatisfied can come up to challenge me. If you can defeat me in one move or the other, I will allow you to fight your enemy in a fair duel to the death!"

"what?!"

The training ground suddenly fell silent, with only the rustling sound of wind and sand.

Ma Chao and Yan Xing exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes - challenging the general? He was a legendary god who could bring the dead back to life and defeat thousands of enemies on his own.

Su Yao stood with his hands behind his back, his red battle robe fluttering in the wind: "Why, no one dares to fight?"

Su Yao's eyes swept across the entire place, finally landing on the two people: "If you don't have confidence in yourself, then I can use no weapons, both of you come together. As long as you can touch me, you will be the winner."

When Su Yao said this, the whole audience was in an uproar.

"The general is going to fight two alone?"

"No weapons needed?!"

The soldiers around the parade ground were talking to each other. Ma Chao and Yan Xing's faces were red, and it was unclear whether they were angry or embarrassed.

"What?" Su Yao stood with his hands behind his back, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Don't you two want to prove that you are stronger? Now that the opportunity is right in front of you, why are you hesitating?"

Ma Chao gritted his teeth and shook his spear: "Your Highness is of noble status, how dare I offend you?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Su Yao suddenly shouted, "How can a man in the army be so timid? Either you come on stage to compete now, or you shut up forever. If you dare to fight privately again, you will be punished by military law!" It was obvious that the general was ready to subdue everyone with force.

But strength has always been what matters in the military. The general has said this, if you still don't accept the challenge, how can you gain a foothold in the military in the future?
Ma Chao raised his head suddenly, his eyes showing a fighting spirit: "In that case, I am sorry for the offense!"

Yan Xing also took a deep breath, clasped his fists and said, "Please enlighten me, General!"

The two men jumped onto the platform at the same time and stood on both sides.

Ma Chao stood still with his spear in hand, and Yan Xing raised his long sword high. The two men surrounded Su Yao on the left and right, ready to attack.

The autumn wind suddenly blew up, sweeping up the yellow sand all over the sky. Su Yao still stood with his hands behind his back, not even posing:
"let's start."

The battle was about to break out. Ma Chao and Yan Xing looked at each other, sneered, and attacked almost at the same time!

Ma Chao's silver spear was like a dragon, piercing Su Yao's throat; Yan Xing's long sword was like lightning, sweeping across Su Yao's lower body.

Although the two had never cooperated before, their weapons were superb and their offensive was fierce. This attack was so imposing that the soldiers in the audience exclaimed in surprise.

However, Su Yao did not even move his feet. He leaned forward slightly, and the silver spear brushed past his neck. At the same time, he raised his leg and stepped on Yan Xing's blade directly under his feet!
"Too slow." Su Yao shook his head.

Ma Chao's face flushed, and he drew his spear and stabbed again. This time, the tip of the spear trembled, turning into seven cold stars that covered Su Yao's body. Yan Xing also took the opportunity to draw his sword, and after a roll, he slashed Su Yao's waist and abdomen.

This time Su Yao finally moved. His figure swayed like a ghost, and he moved freely among the gun shadows and knife lights, as if he was taking a leisurely stroll in the garden, and even the corners of his clothes were not touched.

"The Liangzhou Twins that you've been bragging about for so long are just like this?" Su Yao sneered, "Can you rookies in the Canyon hold a grudge against each other for so long?"

This sentence clearly angered the two men. Ma Chao shouted, and his spear speed increased suddenly, aiming directly at the vital points; Yan Xing's eyes also turned red, and his sword skills became more ruthless.

But the more impatient they are, the bigger the rift between them becomes.

This time, not only was Su Yao not forced to retreat, he even advanced forward and slapped Ma Chao on the shaft of his spear, causing his palm to go numb. At the same time, he dodged Yan Xing's sword and chopped him on the wrist with his backhand.

With two "clangs", the silver spear and long sword fell to the ground at the same time. The two men could not stand steadily under the impact and half-knelt down.

Suddenly, the whole place was silent.

Everyone stared with eyes wide open, staring blankly at the crushing battle.

After an awkward silence, there was a burst of whispers from the audience.

"Too, too strong."

"The general is simply a monster."

"Did you see that? He didn't retreat even a step when he was attacked by two people. It was like he was bullying a child."

Listening to the whispers in his ears, Ma Chao, who was half-kneeling on the ground, almost bit his teeth to pieces, and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.

It's so embarrassing.

Isn't this totally humiliating?!
"Do you know where you lost?"

Su Yao stood with his hands behind his back and said:

"You only see yourselves and the enemy, but never consider that there is a teammate present."

"If we fight alone, what's the point of joining forces?"

Next, Su Yao kicked the weapons to the two men and said:
"I'll give you half a quarter of an hour to think carefully about how to fight. If you don't let the soldiers see you look so shameful, you can take off your uniforms."

"hiss--"

"what?!"

The two of them gasped, and the soldiers below the stage widened their eyes in shock.

The general is saying that if they don't perform well, they will be stripped of their military positions? !
How could this be possible?!
