In the evening, dark clouds overhead and strong winds blow.

Outside the city of Yongzhou, a man in tattered clothes, looking like a beggar, but carrying an extremely delicate bow and crossbow, walked alone in the yellow sand, struggling, exhausted, and crumbling.

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried horses' hooves from a distance, accompanied by a hurried sound of urging horses.

"Drive, drive, drive......"

"Phew, hoo, hoo......"

The pathfinder who was riding at the front suddenly stopped his horse, and with a shocking neighing sound of the horse, a man fell to the ground under the flying sand raised by the horse's hooves.

The pathfinder hurriedly dismounted and bowed to a man dressed as an officer behind him, "General Shen, there is someone in front." ”

The General Shen behind him was none other than Shen Changge, the right general who had been promoted from Captain Zhaowu by King Beilin not long ago.

This time, Shen Changge was ordered to be responsible for escorting the grain and grass to the Yongzhou border pass, who knew that the trip to the middle of the road was suddenly rainstormed, delayed all the way, seeing that the agreed date was getting closer and closer, in desperation, he had to set off overnight, who knew that he was about to arrive, and encountered a sandstorm, and the group was in a hurry.

At this moment, Shen Changge also saw the man who fell in the yellow sand in the sky, and saw that although he was in tatters, he was carrying a good bow that was worth a lot of money at a glance, and there seemed to be déjà vu between his eyebrows.

"Brother Ye, is that you? Why are you here? ”

Shen Changge exclaimed, and then looked at the dust that was swept up by the howling cold wind in the sky, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, it was indeed not suitable for reminiscing at this moment.

"Get on the horse."

Without waiting for Ye Hu to react, he turned over and dismounted, helped Ye Hu, who was already exhausted and almost fainted, onto his war horse, and then sat down on it, holding Ye Hu's shoulder with one hand, and galloping in a burst of flying sand and rocks with the reins of the horse in the other.

The next day, the early morning sun reflected on Ye Hu's face through the gap in the tent, he opened his eyes slightly, looked around in confusion, and suddenly, a carp turned over and sat up straight.

"Where is this?"

"Yongzhou Border Pass." Shen Changge, who had just come in, saw this scene and replied with a smile.

"It's you!" Ye Hu saw the person coming and said in surprise.

"Brother Ye still remembers it, and it is not in vain that I saved you last night." Shen Changge smiled at the corner of his mouth, like a spring breeze.

When Ye Hu heard this, after a little thought, he remembered the events of last night.

Hurriedly got out of bed, clasped his hands into fists and saluted: "Thank you Brother Shen for saving your life!" ”

"Brother Ye doesn't have to be polite." Shen Changge returned the salute with a smile.

Then he wondered: "Why did Brother Ye come to the border pass?" ”

"To tell you the truth, Brother Shen, I came to join the army this time. As the saying goes, the rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible, the old thief of Dongyi not only occupies my city, kills my border generals, but also insults me to the north of the country and the south king, and hangs his head above the city gate, which is really too deceitful! Ye Hu said angrily.

"Oh, join the army, Brother Ye is really a hot-blooded man, if all the aspiring men in the world are like Brother Ye to rejuvenate the country and the world, then I can't recover the mountains and rivers in the north. Long song admiration! Shen Changge sincerely clasped his fists again and saluted.

"Brother Shen, it's serious." Ye Hu returned the salute again.

"Brother Ye is so polite to me again, I'm afraid we will have to salute each other until tomorrow." Shen Changge laughed.

Ye Hu also laughed awkwardly.

"Brother Ye, I have asked people to prepare a soup bath and clean clothes, you have been in the dust all the way, go and rest first, and then I will take Brother Ye everywhere." Shen Changge said with careful concern.

"It's so troublesome Brother Shen!" Ye Hu hurriedly thanked.

In a short time, Ye Hu had already freshened up and changed into the clothes of ordinary soldiers, because he had been traveling day and night for months, Ye Hu was much thinner than when he was in Orion Village, and his face was also very bad, but looking at the whole person, he had a momentum that could not be underestimated.

After breakfast, Shen and Ye walked out of the camp tent, only to see that on the barren land of Yongzhou border pass, hundreds of military tents were stationed large and small, and soldiers with spears could be seen patrolling back and forth between the military tents, and the sound of military trumpets echoing each other was heard from time to time in the distance, and one of the soldiers saw Shen Changge coming, and hurriedly bent down and saluted: "General Shen!" ”

Ye Hu only realized it at this time: "General Shen? You are actually a general, but Ye Hu is abrupt. Busy with the soldier bent down to Shen Changge and saluted.

"Brother Ye, this is polite, although you and I only have one side in Qingzhou, but we are familiar at first sight, if Brother Ye sees it like this, it makes Changge a little unaccustomed, and now that you have not performed martial arts, you should still call me Brother Shen!" Shen Changge stepped forward and helped Ye Hu up.

"Then forgive Ye Hu for being unreasonable, oh, by the way, Brother Shen, what did you just say about martial arts?" Ye Hu asked.

"Brother Ye doesn't know, recently, many heroes and heroes have come to join the army like Brother Ye, in order to serve the country and regain lost territory, in order to better play their respective abilities and not to be dusty, General Shen He specially set up a martial arts arena at the pass, so that every hero who came to show what he has learned in his life, so as to decide their ranks and positions in the army according to their respective abilities." Shen Changge explained carefully.

"Oh, I see!" When Ye Hu heard this, there was a flash of brilliance in his eyes.

"Then it's better to take Brother Ye to see it now." Shen Changge suggested.

After a while, the two arrived at the Yongzhou Pass martial arts arena, and at this time, there was an eight-foot man in the arena who was holding a thousand-pound boulder above his head with one hand and walking back and forth in the field. It attracted bursts of applause inside and outside the stadium.

Shen Changge walked in and took a look, only to see that the general in charge of registration and selection today was his follower Shen Shu since childhood.

Shen Shu saw that Shen Changge came in person and hurriedly saluted: "Son! ”

Shen Changge waved his hand to the seat he was sitting in, signaling him to continue the selection and leave him alone.

At this moment, the big man had already finished his martial arts, and he saw Shen Shu write on the red paper on the side after thinking about it: Li Er, eight feet tall, as powerful as an ox, can lift a thousand catties, should be included in the cavalry battalion, second class. After writing, he handed the red paper to Li Er, and Li Erhuan happily went to the cavalry camp to report.

Ye Hu whispered to Shen Changge, why can he enter the cavalry battalion if he is tall and strong?

Shen Changge whispered in his ear: "The first thing for a cavalry is to be able to pull a horse with one hand and fight with the enemy with a big sword in the other, and its height also has an absolute advantage in battle. ”

Ye Hu nodded repeatedly.

Then a pair of brothers came up, each holding a short knife, and as soon as they got on the field, the two of them arched their hands in the direction of Shen Shu and said: "My lord, I am Luo Yong, I am Luo Yi, the two of us have loved to play with knives since childhood, and this time I hope to enter the knife barracks as a second-class soldier." ”

"Third class, third class is fine." The elder brother Luo Yong was obviously less imposing than the younger brother, and he said to Shen Shu as if he was busy flattering.

"Let's get started! Where to enter? For a few reasons, you don't count. Shen Shu said expressionlessly.

Shen Changge couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this ice cube face is getting more and more like it, and it is no longer the follower Xiao Shu who only knows how to follow him every day.

Thinking about it, I saw that the two brothers on the stage were already inseparable, although the knife technique was unorganized, but it can also be seen that it was practiced since childhood, as long as it can be practiced in the sword camp in the future, it may not be able to come out.

As soon as the fight was over, the two brothers hurriedly walked towards Shen Shu, waiting for him to write, but Shen Shu seemed to be a little hesitant this time, and it took a long time to write: Luo Yi, Luo Yong, good at using knives, should be incorporated into the knife barracks, third-class soldiers.

The Roche brothers also left happily.

Then there were several more people on the field, all of whom showed some of their talents, but most of them were mediocre, and they were respectively organized: light barracks, heavy barracks, shield bearers, pikemen, etc., all of which were not as good as Li Er's ability to enter the cavalry camp at once.
