Chapter 36: The West Garden

Chen Mo didn't expect that the first thing he did when he entered the military camp to take the teaching test was to stand on the pile.

On the campus of the West Garden, a group of recruits who have not yet had time to get to know each other pose in the scorching sun, taking a stake posture, and standing for a morning.

Chen Mo learned to stand on the pile at the age of nine, and the standing pile homework was not pulled every day, even if he later followed Zang Hong to learn literacy, the standing pile for an hour every day was also thunderous, just a stop was a morning, and looking at Gao Shun's appearance, there was no intention of stopping, Rao is Chen Mo, and he also felt that his legs began to tremble.

"Don't worry, this time I will not affect you to stay, but what you want to do is a general in the army, and if you don't have a strong ability, who will obey you?" Gao Shun's pair of tiger eyes kept sweeping through the crowd, and in one morning, more than 200 of the three hundred people couldn't support it, and the rest were just gritting their teeth and holding on, what he didn't expect was that Chen Mo, who came with Lu Zhi's name in the end, actually persevered until now and seemed to have enough strength to spare.

"Don't tell me about your family history, the army only recognizes military regulations, and the so-called military orders are like mountains, that's it!" Gao Shun walked in the military formation, stopped beside Chen Mo, and then turned around and left, and continued: "No matter how noble you are, but since this is the camp, it is my Han soldiers, standing on the pile, it seems simple, but it is the only way to test people's perseverance, courage, and physical strength, we are going to go to the battlefield, if we don't have extraordinary courage, how to guard the country for my Han and kill the enemy thieves in front of the battle?" ”

"I hope you can understand that joining the army is not child's play, from the moment you enter the camp, you should have the heart to die on the battlefield!" Gao Shun said this, frowned and looked at the people around him who had given up standing on the stake, stayed in the theater and even pointed at the taste: "Although this assessment does not affect you to stay, but you can persist until this moment, it is very good, at least a hundred times stronger than those who are proud of giving up and even have no shame." ”

The voices around him suddenly became smaller, and many eyes converged on Gao Shun, somewhat dissatisfied, after all, he came to Xiyuan this time, and he was a general, who didn't have a family background?

Gao Shun's gaze swept over, not too harsh, but it made people inexplicably flustered.

"The weak mock the strong?" Gao Shun rarely squeezed out a smile on his face, but for those onlookers, this smile was a little like this, and he didn't speak, but that disdain hurt people's self-esteem a little.

"Stop standing on the pile! Rest in place, everybody! Gao Shun waved his hand, stood in place, and looked at the dozen or so people who were still insisting: "Eat later, those who stick to it can get an extra piece of meat per person." ”

"General, you just said that this matter will not affect the people who will stay!" A man was anxious, stood up and said loudly.

"But I didn't say that it didn't affect the preferential treatment." Gao Shun glanced at the man and said: "In addition, the army respects military orders, and the next time you want to speak, ask for instructions first, otherwise, military law will deal with it!" ”

"You ......"

"Huh?"

"Whoa!" The man was stunned by Gao Shun's glare, and hurriedly bowed in response!

"Eat!" Gao Shun looked at the frame pushed in the distance, the aroma diffused from the rice bucket, a group of people stood on the pile for a morning, already hungry, weak limbs, at this moment saw the food being delivered, one by one with excited faces stood up, screaming and rushing over.

"Presumptuous!" Seeing this, Gao Shun raised his thick eyebrows and shouted loudly, and immediately dozens of soldiers rushed up, guarding the rice bucket around, looking at these people with fierce eyes.

Chen Mo ran the fastest, had already taken out a wooden bowl, and was about to scoop the soup, when the cold knife was already on her neck, and her movements couldn't help but stiffen.

"You are a soldier, not a bandit, and there is etiquette in the army." Gao Shun came to Chen Mo's side, took the wooden bowl from his hand, handed it to the man in the cart, scooped a bowl of broth, handed it to the man behind Chen Mo, looked at Chen Mo and said: "There is also a etiquette for eating, today the person who insists on the last person eats first, in addition, you need to queue up, you can run like this, it seems that you still have spare strength, then among these dozen people, you are the last to eat." ”

"Whoa!" Chen Mo is a man who has experienced the battlefield of dreams and has been killed hundreds of times in various ways, more than half of which were hacked to death by his own generals, and he knows the iron law of the army the most well, and he almost instinctively withdrew his hand at the moment, straightened his chest, and shouted loudly with full of energy.

"Not bad." Looking at Chen Mo's appearance, Gao Shun nodded with satisfaction, and pointed back: "Go to the rear and line up!" ”

"Whoa!" Chen Mo agreed, his eyes flashed on the rice bucket, he turned around and walked quickly to the back of a dozen people, and in the envious eyes of others, the dozen or so people who insisted until the end received a bowl of broth, a bowl of corn, and a piece of dog meat one by one.

Chen Mo found a shade tree, sat down directly, and took a bite of the meat directly, although he also likes dogs, but this dog meat is ready, it is really fragrant.

"Young man, look at you like this, why do you eat so heroically?" A man in his early twenties sat beside Chen Mo with a bowl, watching Chen Mo gobble up regardless of his image, and said with some surprise.

"Outside, naturally you have to eat more delicately, otherwise those girls will say I'm rude, but in this barracks, who do I pretend to see? Besides, if we join the army and will fight in the future, we will chew so carefully and slowly, if the enemy comes, will I eat or not? Chen Mo laughed, and the foul words came as soon as he opened his mouth, which was very different from when he intersected with Cao Cao and others.

"Rare." The man's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Chen Mo and said, "You young man, you know a lot, it seems that you are a person who has lived a hard life." ”

"My name is Chen Mo, a native of Xuzhou, and my brother is also very powerful." Chen Mo has an excellent memory, this person is the person who persevered to the end just now, just like himself.

"My name is Cui Geng." The man laughed.

"Qinghe Cui's clan?" Chen Mo looked at Cui Geng in surprise, he also knew when he entered the West Garden that this time the imperial court was mainly for the selection of generals for the new army, and he came here with some background, but he didn't expect the Qinghe Cui clan to send people too.

"I can't afford it." When Cui Geng heard this, he shook his head and sighed: "Nanyang people have nothing to do with the Cui family. ”

"Nanyang is not bad, the land of Longxing, Guangwu Zhongxing back then, wasn't it in Nanyang? I heard that there are outstanding people there, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely go and see it. Chen Mo was not disappointed, and said casually.

"It was really prosperous in the past, but since the rebellion of the Yellow Turban thieves, today's Nanyang is not as prosperous as it used to be, and I was able to enter the West Garden this time, and almost all my family wealth was scattered." Cui Geng shook his head and sighed, in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Nanyang was one of the most rampant places for Yellow Turban thieves, even if it has been three years since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it has not recovered too much.

"After the chaos, there will be great governance, and I think Brother Cui is also a capable person, this time he has entered the West Garden, and he will definitely be selected as a general and shine on the lintel."

"Lend you good words."
