Chapter 704: Examining the Art of War
The carriage moved slowly.
"You scoundrel, I can't walk." Qin Xiaozhu scolded in a low voice, "Before I came out just now, Chunning asked me if I had smashed my foot......"
"You hit your foot?" Wang smiled, "Let me see." ”
"Hate, go away...... Don't mess with me, I can't concentrate. ”
"Xiaozhu, you're very different today."
"Really? I also think, I'm a lot like a woman today, right? ”
"Well, women......"
"You go away, I really have to concentrate, if I can't pass the exam, people think that women really can't come out to be officials."
"It's not up to me to say yet." Wang smiled.
Qin Xiaozhu thought for a while and said, "Then it's okay, you have to let me win." Of course, in case Zuo Mingjing and the others behave better than me, it is okay to let them be officials, in short, one of the three staff officers must be a woman. Otherwise, I'm very shameless, I will let out my words in front of Chunning, she thinks that it is not overnight to let a woman enter the ranks......"
"Aren't you breaking fairness?"
"What is the importance of fairness, and what is fair in the world. My Qin family does things, and they only think that they are kings and losers. ”
"Okay, then you kiss me......"
"Don't, that's the ...... you're so"
After a while, a soft "chirp" sounded in the carriage.
"By the way, I'll only look at the beginning and end of today's art of war drill." Wang Xiao yawned and said, "I have many other things to do in Texas City......
Qin Xiaozhu became a little vigilant when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he relaxed and said, "Okay......"
The final selection of the Military Aircraft Department was held at the former site of the Twelve Cities.
Many people watched it as a grand event, and it was very lively.
When he was about to reach the inner city gate, Wang Xiao had already stepped out of the carriage and rode a tall horse through the inner city gate surrounded by honor guards.
"Huaiyuan Hou will win!"
The crowd cheered, and although it was not a war today, they were still immersed in the joy after the victory in the Battle of Texas.
As far as the imperial court is concerned, the selection of three staff officers for a newly built military aircraft department is really a trivial matter. But for the people, the Marquis of Huaiyuan, who has made great achievements in war, wants to select talents among the people, and it is in the form of military art drills, and everyone has a sense of honor......
Qin Xiaozhu lifted the curtain on the carriage and looked at it, only to feel that this much-anticipated Wang Xiao was now his own man, and he was quite proud in his heart.
Hmph, it's not like I've taken it down. Or was it taken down by my beauty......
Thinking like this, she smirked.
Then she turned her head and saw a high platform set up over there, and on the platform sat a group of high-ranking officials, and ninety-one references were already standing there...... I'm really late for a long time.
Qin Xiaozhu hurriedly ran over and stood still, glaring at Wang Xiao from afar with a little unhappiness.
Others didn't dare to give her a look at Qin Shanhai and Dong Jihe, but there was nothing they didn't dare, Qin Shanhai glared at Qin Xiaozhu, and Dong Jihe reprimanded with a straight face: "Why is this candidate late today, if it is the imperial examination, you will be dismissed now!" "Genius)
From childhood to adulthood, it is not the first time that Qin Xiaozhu has been taught by Dong Jihe and arched his hands and said: "The younger generation knows that it is wrong. ”
Phew, didn't Wang Xiao come so late......
After a while, Wang smiled on the high platform and sat down on the main seat, Yao Wenhua stood up and announced that there was no one, what when this national disaster was in trouble, he did not stick to one pattern to select materials for the country, and there was this selection and allocation just after the beginning, and what would happen after the beginning. The hearts of the candidates were surging, and the people who were watching applauded loudly, and the applause thundered for a long time.
Qin Xiaozhu didn't bother to listen to this, stared at Wang Xiao, thinking that he was so handsome, and he felt even more handsome today......
Next, Wang Xiao stood up and announced the rules.
The rules are simple, too. Ninety-two candidates, divided into two sides, forty-six on each side, each with 2,000 soldiers and horses, and each took a clay statue. On the battlefield between Texas City and Dongdaying, whoever destroys the opponent's mud first wins. All 46 winners advance to the next game, and the losers only choose seven outstanding performers. The fifty-three people selected for another match were selected from the winning side to be three staff officers, and the rest were appointed as officials.
The battlefield is extremely open from the west to Dezhou City, east to Dongdaying, north to the ditch, and south to Xianren Lake. The soldiers wrapped a red lacquer cloth around a wooden stick, and when they were hit, they were killed when they were dyed with red paint. In addition to not hurting people, there are no means of restraint.
After Wang Xiao finished announcing, the candidates boiled.
"You may think it's unfair, why should the winning side go all in? But the battlefield will not tell you anything about justice or unfairness, only to win at all costs! Got it? ”
"Understand ......"
"Understood!"
"Let's get started."
Wang Xiao nodded to Qin Shanhai, got up and left, he still had a lot of other things to do, and he really couldn't spend a day here......
This is how the art of war drill begins.
The officials went up to the city tower to watch the battle, and some of the people also had to watch the battle from the city wall. I saw that on the wide battlefield, 3,000 soldiers from each of the two phalanxes were standing there dressed in white, with red cloth tied on their heads or blue cloth on their heads, representing different camps.
If this is an exam, the scene is indeed a bit too big.
"Only three staff officers are selected, and they are tested like this?"
"This shows that this staff officer is worth testing, once this is selected, he will be the henchman of the Hou Ye......"
The crowd muttered, admiring the scene.
And many candidates are still at a loss......
The forty-six candidates were divided into one side, and it was not explained who would be the commander-in-chief, who would be the commander-in-chief, who would be the commander-in-chief, how each person would receive the number of soldiers, and how to evaluate the merits of the battle in the end. Some candidates take it to the venue like fools and don't know what they are going to do.
But there are also some candidates who have a very clear idea......
On the red camp, forty-six candidates were brought over, with three thousand foot soldiers in front and a two-person clay statue behind them. More than a dozen officials stood beside them, pamphlets in their hands, taking notes.
"Hey, Brother Bai, are you here too?"
"Ha, Brother Zhang......"
Someone started saying hello.
The next moment, one of the candidates suddenly sprang out, and without saying a word, he hit the clay sculpture and swung his elbow hard!
"Stop him!"
"What are you doing?!"
Another figure had stepped forward and stood in front of the candidate.
With a "bang" sound, the two bumped into each other and fell to the ground. A group of candidates stepped forward and held down the candidate who wanted to destroy the clay sculpture.
"Bunny, you're crazy, aren't you?! What do you want to do? ”
"My lord, this is a spy, cut off his qualifications......" mobile terminal Remember "Ideas Chinese Network →" for you to provide you with wonderful \ novel reading.
"It can't be like this, we start with one less person......"
The dozen or so officials ignored them and kept their heads down.
"Listen to me." Zuo Mingde stood up.
It was he who came out first to block the candidate who wanted to destroy the clay sculpture just now.
At this time, Zuo Mingde's chest was still a little painful, but he said: "The rules are very clear, regardless of means, this person was obviously bought by the other side when he was in the detachment just now." Stop arguing, we have to find a way to break through the opposite ...... as soon as possible."
"Brother Zuo is right, the drill has begun. Brother Zuo said how to do it? We listen to Brother Zuo's ......"
"Why Listen to His ......"
Zuo Mingde's eyes swept away, and he saw that Song Lan'er and Qin Xiaozhu had found a clean big stone to sit on, and looked at this side for a long time.
Zuo Mingde said: "I recommended Miss Qin as the commander, but some people are not convinced?" ”
The scene was quiet for a moment.
Zuo Mingde smiled slightly in his heart.
In his eyes, this drill began when the people were divided. Ninety-two lottery holders are placed there for people to draw lots, but in fact, the distribution is regular. As long as you are familiar with the art of calculation, you can guess which lottery holder is red and which is blue.
Zuo Mingde deliberately chose the red side, and also taught Song Lan'er how to choose...... Because Qin Xiaozhu is on the red side.
He knew that with Qin Xiaozhu's status, the probability of winning was much greater.
After selecting the red side, he also paid attention to it, Lin Xiangyang and Bai Jianzheng ...... Several outstanding candidates are on this side.
I didn't expect that someone on the blue side would be able to install a spy on the red side, heh, it's a bit powerful...... But it doesn't matter, this one, Red wins.
At this time, Qin Xiaozhu was asking Song Lan'er why Zuo Mingjing didn't come, and when she heard this, she raised her head and said politely, "Okay, Lao Tzu is the boss, who of you is not convinced?" ”
"Good! It's ...... with Miss Qin as the main commander."
A group of candidates didn't dare to say even if they were not convinced, and those scheming candidates were originally the red side that Qin Xiaozhu had chosen, and no one refuted it.
"Okay, refreshing enough." Qin Xiaozhu patted his knee, didn't bother to get up, and said: "Then who, the boss of the Zuo family, you came to serve as a military advisor, scheduling arrangements, and beat the other party to the ground......"
Song Lan'er had already told her about the lottery just now, and Qin Xiaozhu understood that she could be regarded as a strategist on her side, so she seemed to be very arrogant, but she already had a sense of proportion in her heart.
Sure enough, Zuo Mingde received the order and said to Lin Xiangyang and the others: "Win this game first, how about it?" ”
"Okay."
This side is working together, and military orders are being issued one after another, and it is going well......
