Chapter 346

In February of 194 A.D., eight months had passed since Zhao Lei raised his troops and rested.During these eight months, the land of Yangzhou was full of vitality, and Zhao Lei worked hard to govern. The situation in Yangzhou was getting better day by day, and all the government affairs in Yangzhou were also on the right track.In terms of military strength, Zhao Lei already has an army of [-] at this time, which is considered top-notch among the princes.Among the [-] troops, [-] were from Yangzhou Army, [-] were from Shi Junying, [-] were from Ma Chao's Tiexiong Army, and the other [-] were from Jinfan Army that Gan Ning had just trained.

Since he has not yet occupied the Poyang Lake area near Chaisang, Zhao Lei just let these Jinfan troops train on Taihu Lake, and when they capture Chaisang later, they can move to Poyang Lake.The reason why Zhao Lei is so anxious to train the navy at this time is to prepare for the attack on Jingzhou in the future.To attack Jingzhou, the navy is indispensable, and the combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou navy is also famous all over the world, so after receiving Zhao Lei's order, Gan Ning stepped up to practice the Jinfan Army on Taihu Lake day and night.

But today is the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar, which is the Spring Festival. No matter how urgent the matter at hand is, everyone will celebrate the New Year happily together.

In the city of Moling.

Early in the morning, the common people all consciously came to the big square in the city, and some common people went to the gate of the governor's mansion to say hello to the New Year.To these people's greetings, Zhao Lei responded with a smile.The common people actually know that it is the young man in front of him who is smiling, nodding and bowing to everyone, holding up a protective umbrella of fate for them. In the era of surrounded by mountains, bandits spread, and the government was rampant, the land of Yangzhou gave them a living. With food, clothes, and work, there is no need to worry about living in a foreign land.

Looking at the people who have been reluctant to leave for so long, Zhao Lei felt an inexplicable sadness while being moved in his heart.It is said that the Chinese people are the most lovable people, but also the weakest people. As long as they don’t put a knife on their necks, as long as they have something to eat, even if they charge heavy taxes and do work like cattle and horses, they still don’t care. Will treat you as the master, now it seems that it is really the case.

"I just did what I could, even for my own sake, and brought some benefits to everyone, so I was worshiped as a god by everyone. I, Zhao Lei, under the sky of this other world, the only thing I can do is to rescue him as soon as possible. More suffering people!" Zhao Lei made a wish to himself on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year.

"People, since everyone is unwilling to leave, today I will take out wine and meat, and sing and dance with everyone on this square to celebrate the New Year!" Zhao Xing stood on the steps and shouted excitedly to everyone.

"Lord Inspector is mighty!" Someone yelled, and then the people in the square shouted together, "Lord Inspector is mighty!"

Afterwards, chickens and sheep were slaughtered, fires were set up in every corner of the square, and the best Zuixianlou fine wine and shadow tea were brought out and placed on the square for everyone to drink freely.Rice noodles, pork, mutton, beef, horse meat, and all kinds of vegetables, chickens and ducks piled up like a hill.

In order to gather people's hearts, boost morale, and promote national integration, Zhao Xing allowed all people, young and old, to go to the square to get food for the three-day celebration.Whether it is the Shanyue people who mixed into Moling, Gangshan bandits, robbers, etc., or refugees who came to Yangzhou from Xuzhou, everyone can intertwine freely, speaking with local accents from all corners of the country, happily talking about this year's plan, What a happy picture.

"Everyone, in order to celebrate the Spring Festival, I specially asked the man to arrange an event. The generals and civil servants present today will have a competition, and No. 1 will get a generous reward." Zhao Lei said loudly at this moment.

Zhao Lei's words made all civil servants and generals below the stage eager to try. Everyone was gearing up and waiting for Zhao Lei to come up with a question.

"Brother, you haven't said what the prize is?" Zhao Yun said at this time.

Zhao Lei smiled and said: "The prize is a secret, but I can guarantee that everyone will like the prize I am offering."

Zhao Lei's pass aroused everyone's curiosity, and everyone whispered to each other as if a pot had exploded.

"My lord, hurry up and tell me how to compare!" Ma Chao said at this time.

"You little brat, what's the rush." ​​Zhao Lei smiled and continued: "This time, not only civil servants and military generals present, but also all the people in Moling City can participate. In other words, this time it is a national event! "

"National activity?" There was an uproar in the square.The ancients obviously didn't understand these modern words very well.

"Man, tell me the rules of the game!" Zhao Lei said.

"This time we are divided into preliminaries, preliminary rounds and finals. The preliminaries and preliminary rounds are auditions, which are held in the way of fighting the landlord. In the final finals, only four contestants can participate. We will give them a map. Then let them find something in Moling City, and the first one to find it will be the champion." Zhang Han said.

"what?"

"What is this and what? What is Fighting the Landlord?"

"Mother, what is he talking about?" The people were confused by what Zhang Han said, and they were very at a loss.

Seeing everyone's blank eyes, Zhang Han coughed lightly and said: "Okay, let me explain the rules of the Landlord Fight in detail. The so-called Landlord Fight is a card game invented by my lord and me. He goes from point to point There are [-] types of cards including kings, big monsters and small monsters. We are holding a four-player fight against the landlord this time, so there are eight cards for each type from the top to the king, and two cards for each of the big monsters and small monsters. The size order of the class is big monster, small monster, two, sharp, king reverse to three, and three is the smallest. Card types are divided into bombs, aircraft cannons, arch bridges, three with two, three, three pairs, pairs, three cards And Sunja."

"What is this all about?" Zhao Yun was at a loss when Zhang Han said it first.

At this time, Zhang Han escaped from his arms with a piece of paper, which introduced the playing methods of each card type in detail.

"Take bombs as an example. Among the bombs, the bomb with four cards is the smallest, and the bomb with eight cards is the largest. The order of the bombs is the same as the order of the single cards just now. The four monsters are sky bombs, and no card can be bigger than Him. Do you understand?" Zhang Han explained to the piece of paper.

"Zizhou, I have a question." Guo Jia asked.

"Feng Xiao, you say." Zhang Han said.

"I understand the rules of this card, but how to fight against the Landlord?" Guo Jia asked.

Zhang Han replied with a smile: "This Landlord game needs to be played by four players, using two [-]-card cards, one of which is the landlord, and the other three automatically form an alliance as the other side. There are two special cases here. For the farmer's side, as long as one of the three players finishes playing all the cards, they will win, and the landlord can have eight more cards than the peasant. Therefore, the farmer's victory is about cooperation, and the landlord's victory will be Just the skill of playing cards."

"That's right!" Guo Jia nodded and said.

"Finally, there is a landlord card in each game. Whoever is dealt is the quasi-landlord, and the bidding begins. In order to make the bidding rules simpler, we stipulate that the bidding is divided into one point, two points and three points. According to the standard The position of the landlord proceeds counterclockwise, whoever has the highest name is the landlord of this game." Zhang Han said.

"Okay, I believe everyone has roughly understood the rules. I named him this Landlord Fighting event. The first Yangzhou Spring Festival Landlord Fighting Contest. Let's have fun. We will choose him in the sea election and preliminary round. Four winners will be selected, and then the final will be played, everyone, let's do our best!" Zhao Lei said.

"The venue of the competition is above this square. Someone will bring tables, chairs and playing cards later. Everyone can compete on any table. Each table has a referee to score points. After ten rounds of competition, the person with the highest score is the winner." Candidates can enter the preliminary round, and so on." Zhao Lei said.

After a while, after the tables and chairs were moved in, the square suddenly became lively. Both the people of Moling City and Zhao Lei's subordinates sat on the table and played games they had never touched before.

"Lord Inspector is indeed the reincarnation of Xiang Yu! It's amazing to think of such a fun game." There are a few people who are familiar with the rules, and they have already developed great enthusiasm for the game of Fighting the Landlords, and they are very enthusiastic about Zhao Lei's ability to invent Surprised by such a fun game.

Everyone played with paper cards in their hands, and the whole square was filled with the sound of calling and playing cards one after another, like a vegetable market.

"Haha, this is just like the Spring Festival!" Seeing everyone's joy, Zhao Lei smiled gratifiedly.

"Xiao Lei, I saw that Zilong also went up to fight, let's go and have a look." Zhang Han said.

"Okay, man. Yan'er, let's go, let's go and have a look too." Zhao Lei nodded to Zhang Han, then pulled Cai Yan who was beside him, and walked towards Zhao Yun's table.

At this time, Zhao Yun was sitting at the same table with three soldiers of the Yangzhou Army. When the soldiers saw Zhao Lei approaching, they stood up and saluted.Zhao Lei waved his hand to signal them to sit down and continue playing. Once the cards were dealt, the game officially began.
