Yuan Shu smiled and asked Yue Fei:
"Pengju, are you willing to spar with these two generals?"
Yue Fei looked kindly at Ju Yi and Xu Rong, then replied to Yuan Shu:
"My lord, exchanging martial skills is a way for us warriors to communicate.
I am willing to engage in a friendly match with the two generals."
Seeing that both sides agreed to the duel, Yuan Shu decisively announced:
"Good! Then let's set the duel for tomorrow morning at the training grounds!
All the troops will be gathered to watch so they can witness the prowess of our generals!"
Hearing Yuan Shu's words, everyone understood—he intended to use this duel to decide the position of the supreme commander.
If Yue Fei could defeat Ju Yi and Xu Rong in front of everyone tomorrow, there would be no question about it—he would firmly secure his position, and everyone would be convinced of his strength.
But if Yue Fei were to be defeated by either of the generals in public, how could he still have the face to take the supreme commander's position?
As the saying goes, "In literature, there is no first place; in martial arts, there is no second."
Almost all warriors had absolute confidence in their own abilities, so everyone was quite satisfied with Yuan Shu's arrangement.
The next morning.
Two thousand five hundred elite soldiers sat around the training grounds, waiting to watch the duel between the top generals.
The soldiers had heard rumors that a great general had arrived at Wan Sheng Manor.
It was said that this man was the lord's trusted brother, and Yuan Shu intended to elevate him to lead the entire army.
Whether he could truly hold that position depended on today's duel.
