Chapter 40: Conflict

In July, the weather that had been hazy for several days turned clear, and the sun poured down and burned on people, and the chill in the body seemed to dissipate with the sun.

The West Garden is very lively today, every soldier has an excited smile on his face, most people feel that this is a good omen, in such a day, there will definitely be good things happening, especially today is still the day of the selection of generals, from more than 800 people to select 60 people to be generals.

Obviously, this is just a good day for a few people, and most people will feel that they are part of a few, the general in the new army of Xiyuan, at least a military marquis, if you are lucky, maybe you can become a military horse, if you can have some military merits, maybe it won't take a few years, you will be a captain.

At least at this time, the captain is still a high-ranking general, a powerful person with military power in his hands.

"It's child's play!" Compared with those soldiers who think that they are very likely to ascend to the position of generals, Gao Shun, the person in charge of training generals, does not look very good-looking, let alone take this weather as an omen, and the two seem to have nothing to do with each other, if Zhen An Qianshuo sets a plan to select the grassroots generals of the new army, Gao Shun can imagine how worrisome the combat effectiveness of the Western Army is after it becomes an army, even if the new army is composed of elite people from various states, but let these generals who only have bravery, and even many generals who have not even understood the flag language enter the grassroots level, That's a rabble.

"Alas~" Beside Gao Shun, Wang Yue, the sword master who was also in charge of this selection, shook his head and sighed when he heard this: "General Gao, this matter has been decided, no matter how dissatisfied you and I are, we can't reverse the situation." ”

Qian Shuo is sincere these days, and he will come to Xiyuan every day to supervise the training of Xiyuan soldiers, in order to recruit the best soldiers for the Son of Heaven, but unfortunately, his direction was wrong from the beginning, in Gao Shun's view, it is better for him not to work hard, maintain the previous state, at least be able to select a few talents for the imperial court.

What a ridiculous way to choose a general? At least among the few people Gao Shun values, only one Cui Geng is acceptable in martial arts, and the others are probably difficult to be selected.

"Eunuch elect general, heh~" Gao Shun gritted his teeth, and finally felt a little helpless, Wang Yue was right, he was just a general in charge of military training in Xiyuan, and he was not even a captain, so what qualifications did he have to oppose Qian Shuo's decision?

Wang Yue sighed, although he is also the person in charge of this selection of generals, but the result of this selection of generals, he can basically predict it, His Majesty has high hopes for the formation of a new army, and the means are also quite strong, fundamentally control the new army, but there is no one available around His Majesty, Qian Shuo has such a decision, maybe His Majesty's many plans will be in vain.

There is a heart, but who will listen to him?

Although he is known as a swordsman and teaches the prince to practice swords, Wang Yue knows his weight very well, Gao Shun is also a general, but he Wang Yue is nothing, but Qian Shuo specially invited him, a swordsman, in order to show that he attaches great importance to this selection of generals.

"General Gao, you are still young, don't break your career because of this." Drums were already sounding outside, Wang Yue stood up, looking at Gao Shun, who had no intention of moving, Wang Yue patted Gao Shun on the shoulder: "Don't go against your own future." ”

"Future?" Gao Shun stood up, took off his helmet, and said indifferently: "I haven't seen it." ”

After speaking, Gao Shun hugged his helmet and strode out of the camp in the direction of the school field.

……

In order to show that he attaches great importance to this selection, Qian Shuo has appeared on the general platform early in the morning, commanding the guards to guard the surroundings, this time the West Garden selection general, it is strictly forbidden to leak it to the outside world, intrigue in the palace is the norm, for how to prevent leaks, Qian Shuo has a few methods.

In front of the point, the entire school field has been renovated in the past half a month, and this time the three kinds of tests will be tested, bow and arrow, horse combat and foot fighting, there are corresponding venues.

After a group of Xiyuan soldiers heard the drums, they couldn't wait to gather in one place, waiting for the start of today's competition with an excited face.

The first competition is archery, 20 steps, 50 steps, 80 steps, respectively hit the bull's-eye, each target can hit ten arrows to pass the level, can carry out the next assessment.

Of course, if you can't even get enough people to enter the next round of assessment, it will be Gao Shun's problem as a training general.

"Shuo Gong." Gao Shun stepped on the platform, bowed to Qian Shuo and said: "Your Majesty's selection of generals is not a child's play, such a selection, but Yongfuer, how can he take on a heavy responsibility?" ”

"General Gao is saying that he has been playing all these days?" Qian Shuo's eyes narrowed, and he turned his head to look at Gao Shun.

Gao Shun didn't speak, although he knew that at this time, admitting his mistake was the most correct choice, but he didn't want to, this was child's play.

"The last general just said that it may be difficult to choose His Majesty's favorite talent in this method." Gao Shun bowed.

"You can't choose a certain one, but you use your method of selection to use a fourteen-year-old boy?" Qian Shuo turned his head, looked in the direction of the crowd, and sneered: "I heard that this son was recommended by Duke Lu, and they all said that General Gao was innocent and majestic, and now it seems that there is no difference between him and these laymen such as me." ”

"Whoever comes under my command is treated equally." Gao Shun bowed.

"I know that the general looks down on a certain and thinks that a certain eunuch is not worthy of being a general for His Majesty!" Qian Shuo looked at Gao Shun's gaze and gradually became cold: "But today, Qian Shuo came at the behest of His Majesty, in this West Garden, it is me Qian Shuo who is in charge and not you Gao Shun, if you still want to be here, you will step aside to see how to raise talents for the court, if you don't want to ......"

"Shuogong, no!" Wang Yue stepped forward, pulled Gao Shun, and smiled at Qian Shuo.

"Humph!" Qian Shuo snorted coldly and said: "Let's start, the new army has rushed to Luoyang one after another, and Your Majesty will need these people." ”

Gao Shun slowly put his helmet on the ground, retreated a few steps, and bowed to Qian Shuo: "The last general, I don't want to go against my will!" Before the new army is formed, the last general will not leave the West Garden, but please allow the last general to resign from this position. ”

"You ......" Qian Shuo got up, glared at Gao Shun and shouted: "Gao Shun, didn't Nemo think that without you, no one would be able to train in this West Garden?" ”

Maybe he was angry, but in the middle of his words, his voice suddenly became sharp and harsh.

"The last general will not dare, but the Tao is different!" Gao Shun stood up, saluted Wang Yue and said, "The last general doesn't want to see the new army that he walked out of the West Garden in the future, it is a group of rabble!" ”

"Good!" Qian Shuo stroked his palms and said, "Then let you see if it's a rabble!" Get lost! ”

"The last will retire!" After Gao Shun finished speaking, after saluting again, he turned around and strode away.
