The Great Banner's Power Can Support

  Now, Zhang Rao felt that after being pointed out by Guan Hai, the kick he kicked out now had both strength and speed, as well as sufficient suddenness. Even if he couldn't knock his opponent down with one kick, he could still make his opponent suffer a small loss.

  Then, Zhang Rao felt that this kick of his was lighter and faster than usual, and... he couldn't stop his foot!

  The onlookers around only saw Zang Ba appear like a gust of wind beside Zhang, who suddenly kicked out with one foot but was lightly dodged by Zang. Then, Zhang's body flew into the air and crashed to the ground with a loud "thud".

  What's going on here?

  Was it Zhang's fault for being unstable and falling down by himself?

  Everyone felt inexplicable. Only Zhang Kuang, Guan Hai, Dian Wei and a few others saw it clearly.

  Zang Ba dodged Zhang Rao's horizontal sweep and, with a flash of yellow "war qi" on his palm, he swiftly pushed the sole of Zhang Rao's foot, causing him to lose balance and fall to the ground.

  So fast!

  What high skills!

  With a sigh of emotion, he couldn't help but shout out in excitement:

  "What a clever move, 'going with the flow'!"

  Zhang Rao fell to the ground, and Lou Yi's mind was greatly shocked. Zang Ba saw it clearly, with his left hand clenched into a fist and his right hand also clenched into a fist, he rushed towards Lou Yi's face. Lou Yi hastily parried, but unexpectedly Zang Ba's two fists were all feints, and Lou Yi's parrying moves didn't even touch Zang Ba's body.

  Suddenly, Lou Yi's chest hurt and his body flew up into the air, kicking up dust as he fell to the ground in disarray.

  It turned out that Zang Ba's real move was also a flying kick. However, compared to Zhang Rao's kick, Zang Ba's kick not only had a faster speed but also stronger concealment. From the moment he kicked out to the moment he withdrew his foot, he didn't even let Lou Yi see it clearly.

  So easily and pleasantly, he knocked down the two young generals. Even with Guan Yu's broad mind, his face couldn't help but show some embarrassment. At the same time, Guan Yu also had a clear initial understanding of the strength of Zhang Fei's subordinates.

  Before, Guan Haijun had vaguely heard that there was a Yellow Turban warrior on Mount Tai who was known as the "Enemy of Ten Thousand". It was said that this powerful warrior was one zhang tall and had a waist circumference of also one zhang. He wielded two large iron pikes weighing 80 jin each, and was invincible in the world.

  Such rumors, the small generals in Guan Hai's army, just regarded as rural villagers' gossip. After all, as early as several years ago, Guan Hai was already recognized as "the number one master of Tai Ping Dao". However, even Guan Hai himself admitted that his own martial arts skills were still a notch away from the realm of "thousands of enemies".

  Mount Tai has a strong folk culture, but if a "thousand-man slayer" were to suddenly appear out of nowhere, its credibility wouldn't be very high. Not to mention a "ten-thousand man slayer", even a "thousand-man breaker" would be enough to dominate the world.

  Do you think masters are like vegetables in a field, everywhere and easily picked?

  However, Zang Ba's current performance has caused a great shock to all the soldiers of Guan Yu's army.

  These two are masters of the " Hundred Man Slash" level, yet they can't even last a single round in front of this Zang Ba?

  Even if Guan Yu himself took action, it's impossible for him to defeat these two so easily?

  Could it be...

  Is it really "the enemy of mankind"?

  Zhang Kuang and Lou Yi jumped up from the ground, dejectedly returning to Guan Hai's side. Zang Ba's move was not heavy-handed, after all, this was just a test of skills, and it wasn't good to hurt people. Although they still had some resentment in their hearts, they clearly knew that their own skills were indeed far inferior to that arrogant young man.

  "As expected, your skills are extraordinary! Wuji, you're indeed fortunate to have obtained such a fine general. It's truly a great blessing for the Taiping Dao!"

  After showing off his skills and not being underestimated by General Kan, Zhang Kuang naturally retreated and humbled himself. General Kan said a couple of words, then suddenly looked at Dian Wei and asked:

  "Just now when introducing, this strong man seemed even stronger than Zang Zhongshi?"

  Before he could finish speaking, Zang Ba interrupted him and said:

  "Dian's martial arts skills are still above mine, so it's natural that he should introduce himself before me!"

  As soon as this was said, from the highest officials to the lowest servants, no one did not change color in fright. Zang Ba's military power, although it had not been thoroughly demonstrated, but combined with Zhang Kuang's introduction, in Guan Hai's heart, it could already be counted as "the enemy of ten thousand people".

  Is there actually someone who can surpass him in martial power?

  This means that among the tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans in Zhang Jue's district, there were two "enemies of ten thousand people"?

  In today's world, "peerless heroes" are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, countable on one's fingers. Only a few years ago, those recognized as having the title of "peerless hero" were limited to Duan Yun and Duan Ji Ming from the "Three Brightnesses of Liangzhou". As for now, Sun Jian, the "Fierce Tiger of Jiangdong", and Dong Zhuo, the great magnate of Liangzhou, are being touted by those around them as "peerless heroes" and belong to the strongest in the world with the most hope of gaining recognition.

  As the crowd gasped in shock, a loud "whooshing" sound suddenly rang out. Everyone looked around to see a massive military flag, over three zhang tall, falling towards the ground. The five or six sturdy men responsible for holding the flag were frantically trying to prop it back up, not wanting it to touch the ground.

  It turned out that these soldiers holding the flag were shocked by Dian Wei's martial arts, which was even more powerful than Zang Ba. Just then, a strong gust of wind blew by. The soldiers holding the flag were distracted and accidentally let the big flag be blown askew.

  If the great banner falls to the ground, then it is inevitable that some heads will roll.

  At that time, people were very superstitious. Not only in the academic circle, a large number of modern Confucian classics mixed with "Apocrypha" were popular, but also ordinary people and local tyrants had the custom of repairing temples and worshiping.

  In the army, if the large flag representing a military unit falls to the ground, it is an extremely ominous sign for the entire army. In lighter cases, they will suffer defeat, and in more severe cases, the commander-in-chief will be killed. Therefore, once such an unfortunate event occurs, the morale of the soldiers throughout the army will be lowered.

  Therefore, several flag bearers knew that it was a matter of life and death at this time. One by one, they risked their lives to try to raise the large flag again. However, the weight of this large flag was apparently astonishing. Regardless of the soldiers' dissuasion, I lay down on the ground as usual.

  Is it easy for me to stand like this every day and every month?

  The big flag lay on the ground with a thud.

  "Go help..."

  The speech of the pipe had not yet finished, but a very majestic figure rushed out in big strides, propped up the middle section of the large flag with one hand, and did not let the large flag fall to the ground. The crowd looked up to watch, this person was precisely Tian Wei who had just been introduced to everyone.

  Only to see Dian Wei supporting the flagpole with both hands, step by step moving towards the bottom of the large flag. Every step forward, the large flag was lifted a little higher. After more than ten steps, the five or six sturdy men who couldn't hold down the large flag were amazed that Dian Wei alone held it in place, no longer shaking!

  "Good job!"

  "My goodness! It's as if the gods have descended upon us..."

  Guan Haijun was taken aback, and let out a thunderous applause. The several muscular men guarding the flag were even more grateful, thanking him profusely and praising him endlessly. Seeing this scene, Zhang Kuang couldn't help but think of Cao Cao's evaluation in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and loudly praised:

  "Evil has come indeed!"

  From then on, Dian Wei had another nickname, "Gu's evil arrival". Even the ancient hero "Evil Arrival" made a big appearance. Even Guan Yu warmly held Zhang Fei's hand and sighed:

  "Wuji! You can now truly be 'fearless'! The brave warriors under your command are numerous indeed!"

  Managed to make General He look up at him with a newfound respect, Zhang Kuang became very affable and humbly said:

  "This is all because of my great fortune in the Taoist way, and the Eastern Emperor's gift of blessings."

  With this little episode, the relationship between the two sides suddenly became much closer. Zhang Kuang invited Guan Hai to lead his men to rest in the fort, and Guan Hai naturally agreed happily. The Tianping Army brought out the supplies accumulated during this period, and had a big feast for the three armies, letting the more than 10,000 Yellow Turban soldiers who came from afar have a good meal.

  At the banquet, Guan Yu highly praised Zhang Fei's strength and proposed that Zhang Fei's troops join forces to rescue General Wei. Zhang Fei had thought about this for a long time and agreed very readily, earning another round of praise from Guan Yu.

  Zhang Kuang's face wore a smile, but his heart was filled with bitterness.

  He was really unwilling to go to Yanzhou and have a fierce battle with the main force of the Han army.

  But in this matter, what he says doesn't count.

  PS: Character - Liangzhou Sanming.

  "Liangzhou Sanming" refers to three outstanding military leaders of the ancient Liangzhou people in the late Eastern Han dynasty: Huangfu Gui, Zhang Heng and Duan Jie.

  Huangfu Gui was styled Weiming, Zhang Quan was styled Ranming and Duan Lie was styled Jiming. Because the three had "Ming" in their style names and all almost simultaneously made achievements and gained fame in the campaign against the Qiang, they were known as the "Three Mings of Liangzhou" at that time.

  These three people have made outstanding achievements in the war against the Qiang, and they are also very famous among the Qiang people. However, these three people were divided into two camps on the issue of pacification. Huangfu Gui and Zhang Huan advocated for pacification, while Duan Jie advocated for extermination.

  However, all three of them died before the Yellow Turban Rebellion and did not appear in the Three Kingdoms period, belonging to the background materials of this book.
