The word "lucky" is a more tactful way of saying it.
The scope can be large or small. If the loss is too ugly, Lu Yun will be the real loser!
If Xiao He won by chance, then His Majesty would definitely let Lu Yun go to the battle.
Whether he wins by luck or not, only he himself knows, so Xiao He can control the range to be very small or very large, depending on his personal wishes.
But from what he said, it should be towards Lu Yun.
"Okay, let's compete first to see the results of your training these days."
"Eunuch Lu, have your men wrestle with the soldiers under General Xiao He."
"If your soldiers win more, you win."
"However, I still want to remind Eunuch Lu that the soldiers under General Xiao He are all brave and skilled in fighting, and have experienced many battles."
"They are not only experienced, but also full of blood and blood. They are different from the Tiger Guards under your command."
Left Prime Minister Yang Zhong had a look of disdain. Although General Xiao He respected this eunuch, he did not think so.
I am a prime minister. No matter how high the eunuch's status is, it cannot be compared with me. I am the minister in the court, not him.
Even if I gain the emperor's trust, I am just a slave. What's the big deal?
Lu Yun snorted lightly, "Prime Minister Zuo, I know all this, there's no need for you to explain it to me again."
"Okay! Come on!"
An officer on the parade ground waved a small flag, and they reacted instantly.
The one hundred soldiers trained by Lu Yun quickly rehearsed with the other side one by one.
So they started wrestling in front of everyone.
It seems useless, but it actually puts a great test on strength and body control.
As long as the opponent falls to the ground, you win.
The soldiers on Lu Yun's side had red strips of cloth tied on their arms, while the soldiers on General Xiao He's side had blue strips tied on their arms.
Naturally, it can be clearly distinguished.
Just like that, after about an incense stick of time, the result of the competition came out.
What no one expected was that there were actually sixty soldiers trained by Lu Yun who won the competition!
So in a one hundred to one hundred situation, General Xiao He's soldiers lost!
At this moment, whether it was General Xiao He, the Left Prime Minister, or the ministers around them, they were all shocked.
They are stupid!
What is going on?
How could they possibly lose? They all thought that a draw would be good enough, but they didn't expect to lose, with ten of them losing.
He had inquired about the bottom line of these soldiers. It was not easy for them to become so powerful in just three days.
They have never been so strong before.
"How do you train these soldiers? I've asked around, and they weren't particularly strong before."
"And even if they are very powerful, even if we pick out the most powerful soldiers in the Tiger Guards camp, they can't be better than the soldiers under my command. They are all carefully selected."
"Besides, they are very experienced in fighting in battle. How could it be..."
Lu Yun explained calmly, "General Xiao He, this is a bit of a stereotype. These soldiers under my command may not be very powerful, but they have become powerful after my training."
"Did you see those things in the training ground?"
"I used these to train them."
"Okay, let's not waste any more time and move on to the second competition!"
Even after seeing this result, Left Prime Minister Yang Zhong was still very unconvinced. He snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "We were lucky enough to win a game, don't be so arrogant."
"Eunuch Lu, go back and be a good eunuch. You know what the next competition is. It's archery."
"Someone! Bring up the scarecrow!"
All they saw were a lot of scarecrows appearing in the parade grounds. Their purpose was simple, which was to use bows and crossbows to shoot all the scarecrows.
If you can shoot the scarecrow's head, it means you get a higher score.
"Ten people, compete!"
"good!"
Lu Yun asked Shangguan Yan to quickly select ten people. They had been in the Hu Ben Army camp before and were quite accurate in archery.
There was no problem this time either.
However, when they took out the bows and crossbows, Yang Zhong and General Xiao He were very surprised.
Both of them were confused, and even the ministers behind them looked bewildered.
"Why have we never seen this crossbow before?"
"Is this shape a bit strange?"
Lu Yun explained calmly, "These crossbows were modified by the craftsmen in the military camp."
"The previous crossbows were not very easy to use, and the range was not very far."
"After my modification, the crossbow's range and lethality will be greatly increased!"
None of the people present believed it, and they all shook their heads.
Even General Xiao He sneered, "Eunuch Lu, you probably haven't come into contact with things like bows and crossbows before."
"This can't be changed casually, and what you said doesn't seem to have any supporting points."
"Can't you just watch it?"
So, ten people from each side need to shoot arrows at the scarecrow.
After they were ready, at the command, the soldiers shot their arrows with their bows.
Everyone was laughing at the joke, because they knew very well that it was impossible to modify the bow and crossbow at will!
Even the best craftsmen in their military camp had never made such a request. How could a eunuch dare to do this?
Did he think too highly of himself, or did he not take the craftsmen in the barracks seriously enough?
"Hmph! Eunuch Lu, forgive my bluntness, but you are definitely going to lose this competition."
"Don't put up any more stubborn resistance. I have a suggestion for you: go back and serve His Majesty.
After all, as a eunuch, you are not allowed to show your face in public, so it is better for you to stay in the palace."
"Don't forget what a eunuch's duty is."
Yang Zhong did not say the latter sentence. In his mind, the eunuch was just a dog beside the emperor.
Sometimes they are even worse than dogs.
"Don't talk nonsense, just look at the results."
At this moment, the soldiers under General Xiao He had already shot arrows. Eight out of ten of them had hit the scarecrow's head.
This accuracy is already very good.
But... just when everyone thought that General Xiao He had won this time.
An accident happened!
"Look! What happened to those scarecrows?"
"That crossbow is so powerful!"
"This... is incredible. How did you do that?"
Many ministers looked ahead, only to see that the scarecrows that Lu Yun's ten archers were targeting were all headless...
