Chapter 52 What I want is a bird
The head general above the team is the core of Qincheng's cavalry head team, and they are naturally sloppy with Qin Cheng, calling these people to the military tent, and Qin Cheng explained some related matters to them in detail, mainly to express their ardent hope that they will lead the team and play a good leading role, so that they can strictly follow the military order, and if there is anything wrong during the selection process, they will bear it themselves, and in the end, it is inevitable to use future promotion as a means of agitation. After listening to Qin Cheng's words, these leading officers naturally had no reason not to promise, not to mention anything else, the title and power of Qin Cheng's hussar captain were there, and they had the power of life and death in their hands, and they could not disobey. As for the prestige that Qin Cheng had accumulated some time ago, it was useful to some people, but it was quite unimpressed for others. For the former, Qin Cheng will naturally be greatly used in the future, and for the latter, Qin Cheng also has the means to convince them. Leave that aside.
Once the matter of the head of the sect was ready, it was time to start selecting the sergeants of the new cavalry battalion from among the veterans of the chariot and foot. For the selection of these veterans, Qin Cheng naturally has rules, aside from the previously stipulated age and those who are not familiar with memory, they are also excluded from Qin Cheng. The reason is very simple, these officers at the rank of commander and above have become accustomed to the days when they have soldiers under them, and suddenly let them go to the new cavalry battalion to be a big soldier, these people will definitely not be happy in their hearts, and it will be difficult to adapt. Although the proclamation in the army has implied that the future of cavalry and the future of the chariot infantry will be bleak is very clear, it is obviously unrealistic to let everyone understand and accept this truth at one time, especially some high-ranking officers of the chariot infantry. Because for them this is not only a change in military thinking, but also a change in interests, and the question is whether this change in interests is still in a straight line, although this may be temporary. Moreover, some middle and high-ranking generals of the rook infantry really want to be cavalrymen, and they may not be able to achieve their previous positions, after all, there are too many differences between the skill requirements of the rook infantry and the memory requirements of the cavalry.
In addition to these generals above the commander level, other middle and low-level generals can't help themselves, as long as they are favored by the leaders of the new cavalry battalion, they have to obediently go to the new cavalry battalion to report, no matter whether you were a team leader or a captain before. Of course, if the middle and lower-level generals of these infantry soldiers dared to deliberately release water when the head of the new cavalry battalion came to pick people, it would be good not to be seen, but once it was seen, the consequences stipulated in the rules formulated by Qin Cheng would still be quite serious.
There are some things that they can't wait for them to understand the stakes before letting them choose.
It should be said that Qin Cheng's actions ensured the effective selection of cavalry recruits to the greatest extent, and the benefits were obvious, but the defects were equally obvious.
The next day, Qin Cheng concentrated three or four thousand carts of infantry in the barracks, first staring at the huge sun to carry out a selection and mobilization, for the rules of rewards and punishments Qin Cheng has always been unwilling to give orders in advance, after these things are finished, and then with a wave of his hand, let the five hundred sect leaders go to assess these veterans in batches. He started to be the shopkeeper, wandering around the school field to deal with emergencies.
To say that Li Guangguo is really interesting, considering that Qin Cheng has been in the army for a short time and his foundation is unstable, in order to show his support for Qin Cheng, he actually sent his own personal guards to Qin Cheng to maintain order on the spot. Although it is said that it is about maintaining order on the scene, it is actually more of a deterrent. When Qin Cheng saw that Li Guang's personal team was Li Hu and Liu Mu and the others swaggering to the school grounds, and stood on the sidelines in a majestic manner, Qin Cheng couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Li Guang's kindness Qin Cheng can naturally comprehend, but Li Guang put his own soldiers on the school field, which is really not a clever move, Qin Cheng actually wishes that something would happen on the school field as soon as possible, so that he can take advantage of the machine gun to shoot a few early birds, and take the opportunity to establish the prestige of this selection work, and also establish his own personal prestige. At this time, Qin Cheng didn't expect to convince people with virtue, in the barracks, the whip is the last word, the official level crushes people to death, Lao Tzu is a hussar captain, who is Lao Tzu afraid of, you don't accept Lao Tzu to teach you until you are convinced. Otherwise, if a pawn dares to blow his nose and stare at him, and he still reasoned with him with a handful of snot and tears, the way of the world would not be reversed.
At this time, Li Hu led forty or fifty personal soldiers to the school field to fight, although his official position in the army is not big, but he has qualifications and prestige, and he is the head of Li Guang's personal soldiers, representing Li Guang.
Although he thinks so, but after all, people are kind-hearted, Qin Cheng naturally can't help but know what is good and bad, and when he saw Li Hu walking towards him, he didn't put on a show, and walked up to hug his fists and said: "Team Li, I haven't seen you for many days, how are you doing lately?" ”
Li Hu's face was not shocked, and Liu Mu was a little similar, but Liu Mu was a kind of coldness that rejected people thousands of miles away, and Li Hu was a kind of awe-inspiring righteousness that did not smile, seeing Qin Cheng coming up, Li Hu naturally had no reason to hold it up, after all, he is now a young man and a hussar captain, no matter what, the grade is 108,000 miles higher than himself, unambiguously clenched his fists, and said loudly: "General Qin's Hongfu, the lower officials are still passable." Today, I was ordered by the general, and I brought the general's personal guards to help the village General Qin. ”
"Team Li is polite, so I'm going to trouble Team Li."
"General Qin just gives the order."
After finishing the words on the scene with Li Hu, Qin Cheng let these Li Guang's personal guards disperse around, and pulled Li Hu and Liu Mu by himself, chatting casually while checking the selection of cavalry recruits.
Since it is the selection of cavalry recruits, the requirements are naturally based on the standards of cavalry. The first is equestrianism, for these veteran oils, Qin Cheng's requirement is not to say how good his riding skills are, at least to be able to ride a horse. After spending some time in the heavy infantry department, Qin Cheng knew that this requirement was not too much, the Han Dynasty reached the generation of Emperor Wu, not only the official horse farm has many horses, but also the people raise a lot of horses, and even the people raise horses more than cattle and sheep, in the border counties, horses do not say more, but there are many people who can ride horses, such as Qincheng, a border household, destined to join the army in the future, and will be required to learn to ride a horse when urinating. In addition to equestrianism, the second is archery, which is the most important combat power of cavalry, especially light cavalry, which relies on archery to eat. Then there are some basic qualities, such as balance, physical flexibility, combat literacy, and so on.
"On the eve of the last decisive battle with the Huns, I had an appointment with Team Li to compete in sword skills, and at that time Team Li was saying that if I was lucky enough not to die, I would have a good fight, I don't know if Team Li can remember?" Qin Cheng took Li Hu to inspect the situation of the school yard and said.
"Xia Guan naturally remembers." Li Hu saw that Qin Cheng's words were modest, and he did not claim to be a general but a general, and he was very comfortable in his heart, and immediately replied, "If General Qin has leisure, the lower officials will accompany him at any time." But ......"
Li Hu said this, paused, and showed a strange smile, "General Qin had better fight with the lower officials in private, because the lower officials have already explained last time that the lower officials will not release water." ”
"Haha!" Qin Cheng laughed and said, "Team Li is really not modest, depending on Team Li over there, let's find a place in private and have a competition, how about it?" ”
Qin Cheng knew that Li Hu was not a man of his own words, and when he tried to test his sword skills with others in the last time, Li Hu must have watched it, presumably Li Hu also has real skills, Qin Cheng will not compete with Li Hu in front of everyone in order to be strong for a while. Moreover, although competing with the strong is a hobby that Qin Cheng left from the black boxing arena, competing with this Li Hu is more to shorten the distance between each other and set some friendships, and learning is only a means rather than an end.
"General Qin is talking about now?" Regarding Qin Cheng's simple promise to discuss with him in private, Li Hu did not show the slightest disdain, and asked solemnly.
"Why not?"
"Okay, then General Qin." Li Hu rarely laughed and said.
The two agreed, Qin Cheng suddenly thought that there was a willow wood behind him, so he said to Liu Mu: "If Liu Lang wants to watch the battle from the sidelines, but there is a fee, but I think Liu Lang also has no long things, why don't you teach me the art of war for a few days as a viewing fee?" ”
Liu Mu glanced at Qin Cheng, as if he was very disdainful of Qin Cheng's remarks that he had nothing to lose, but of course this is a good show that should not be missed, and the master's tricks are of course of great benefit to the master, watching it will naturally be of great benefit to him, Liu Mu naturally will not refuse, and said: "If General Qin is not afraid of trumpeting the embarrassment of General Qin's defeat in the army when the time comes, he naturally has no objection." ”
Liu Mu had a lot of contacts with Qin Cheng a few days ago, and it was not uncommon to teach Qin Cheng the art of war, and the two were also more familiar, so they were not very polite when they spoke.
"It doesn't matter, as long as they don't see it, they still don't mind knowing afterwards." Qin Cheng said with a smile.
Just when a few people were about to start a master duel, there was a sudden commotion on the school ground.
The three of them followed the reputation, and saw a group of people in a corner of the school field surrounding there, and the noise came from the crowd.
"Team Liu, you have broken three bows one after another, and you have released countless farts, but only one arrow has been shot out, and you have missed the target, you are deliberately finding fault, right?" One of the sect leaders scolded, his face gloomy, obviously holding back his anger.
"What do you mean by that, what do you mean by me deliberately finding fault? This team is full of food and has nothing to do to find this stubble, if it weren't for the poor texture of this broken short bow brought by your cavalry battalion, would this team have pulled it off? A man retorted, full of ** flavor in his words.
Unlike the longbow of the light infantry, the bow used by the cavalry was slightly shorter, and some light infantry also jokingly referred to the bow used by the cavalry as the short bow.
"Liu Shanhe!" The sect head shouted angrily, "In this assessment, you first perfunctorily refused to participate in the assessment because you had hemorrhoids, and the head of this sect opened it and saw a few stinky hairs, and then you pretended to have diarrhea, and after a pause for half an hour, your legs were weak and you almost didn't fall into the dung pit, and then you broke three horn bows in a row, do you deliberately want to participate in this assessment, and want to disobey military orders?" ”
Liu Shanhe was hit by the sore spot in the head of the sect's words, and his face was slightly unnatural, but he still raised his neck and shot back: "It's not that this team is about to disobey the military order, it's just that we are chariot soldiers, but why do we want to wait to do cavalry, isn't it difficult for a strong man, how can we pass the assessment of this cavalry?" Besides, the quality of your cavalry's short bow is indeed a little worse, and I just pulled it with my hand, and it broke, and I can't blame me, at most, my team can't use this bow and arrow. ”
At this time, Qin Cheng and Li Hu were already leaning on the periphery of the crowd, Qin Cheng hid his body behind Li Hu, intending to listen to the arguments between the two of them, hearing this, Qin Cheng sneered in his heart, and he was still worried that there was no bird, so he would come at this time.
Obviously, this Liu Shanhe didn't want to participate in the cavalry assessment, and he couldn't openly disobey the military order, so he came up with these tricks. Qin Cheng secretly observed the crowd of onlookers, and found that several sergeants around Liu Shanhe had the same look as Liu Shanhe, glaring angrily at the sect leader, obviously, Liu Shanhe was the leader of these people who resisted the sect leader.
Qin Cheng motioned for Liu Mu to pull another sect leader to his side, and talked to him in a low voice for a while, knowing a general idea of the incident and having a plan in his heart.
After thinking about the countermeasures, Qin Cheng no longer hid behind Li Hu, walked out, pushed aside everyone, and snorted, everyone saw that it was a hussar captain, so they shouted to get out of the way, Liu Shanhe saw that it was Qin Cheng, and his expression was also slightly embarrassed, but thinking of the purpose of this intentional trouble, he straightened his chest and looked righteous and awe-inspiring.
Qin Cheng entered the crowd, saw Liu Shanhe's appearance, put on a pleasant face, and said to Liu Shanhe: "Team Liu, do you still recognize this general?" Last time, he was supposed to be on the stage of the martial arts competition, but he had learned Liu Teamzheng's skills, and he still remembers it vividly. ”
Liu Shanhe didn't know what Qin Cheng's intention was when he talked about this stubble at this time, but when Qin Cheng spoke, he couldn't help but answer, so he said: "General Qin can remember Xia Guan, Xia Guan Sansheng is lucky, but Xia Guan's skills are not as good as others, and there is really nothing worth remembering General Qin." ”
"Team Liu should not be modest, then Japan will be fighting with Team Liu on the stage, and the sword skills of Team Liu will still be known." Qin Cheng said with a smile and a kind smile, "Last time, I saw Liu Teamzheng's sword skills, but I haven't seen Liu Teamzheng's archery skills, why don't you let Liu Teamzheng demonstrate it today?" ”
"This ...... Xia Guan's archery skills are not good, I am afraid that the shooting will not be good, which will make General Qin laugh. Liu Shanhe's face became a little embarrassed, and he hesitated.
"It doesn't matter, today is the time to test the skills of everyone in the school, and Team Liu is just shooting his own level." Qin Cheng said step by step, "Oh, Team Liu's body is not unwell, right?" If Team Liu was suffering from a stubborn disease such as hemorrhoids, it would have been difficult to force it. ”
Liu Shanhe's face flushed, his expression was even more embarrassed, and he had no reason to shirk it at the moment, so he had to say: "Xiaguan will shoot once." ”
Suddenly took the bow and arrow from the hand of the cavalry leader, Liu Shanhe walked to the front of the arrow target, his face was ugly, and he slowly drew the bow and arrows, but for a while he didn't know whether to shoot better or worse, now that Qin Cheng was standing behind him, of course he was not good at some clever tricks to deliberately break the bow and arrow.
Qin Cheng saw that Liu Shanhe pulled the strings, but his expression was a little hesitant for a while, and he immediately approached him and whispered to him: "Liu Teamzheng, to tell you the truth, if the skills are not good in this assessment, the general has the right to remove him from his official position, if you don't believe it, you can try." ”
Liu Shanhe was embarrassed, heard Qin Cheng's words, was stunned, turned his head to look at Qin Cheng, but saw that Qin Cheng couldn't be more serious, where was there still a little smile, and he didn't know what to do at the moment, and his expression was really nervous.
Qin Cheng took a step back, and when he saw that Liu Shanhe was nervous, he suddenly shouted, "Liu Shanhe, school fraud, what crime should you be guilty of!" ”
"Huh?!" Qin Cheng was close to Liu Shanhe, only half a step away, at this time, I heard that Qin Cheng suddenly shouted loudly, and his already nervous spirit suddenly shook, and he was startled, and the iron arrow in his hand that was already aimed at the arrow target suddenly took off his hand, and flew out with a "whoosh" sound, and went straight into the center of the arrow target.
Qin Cheng glanced at the iron arrow shot by Liu Shanhe, ignored the surprised gazes of everyone present, and said quietly: "Team Liu's archery skills are outstanding, and they can still hit the red heart when Ben will deliberately interfere, and the iron arrow is half a foot into the target, and it is a good archery skill!" ”
After listening to Qin Cheng's words, everyone saw the iron arrow shot by Liu Shanhe again, and there was a burst of boos, and the sergeants who were with Liu Shanhe looked at Qin Cheng and Liu Shanhe nervously.
"However," Qin Cheng suddenly changed his words, and said awe-inspiringly: "Team Liu broke three bows earlier and missed a target, and his knife skills were even more dancing, and he almost got rid of the knife, this kind of behavior seems to be inconsistent with Fang Cai's performance, am I right?" Coach? ”
"What General Qin said is very true." The head of the sect hugged his fist, this Liu Shanhe knife technique danced so long that he almost got rid of the knife or he broke the material for Qin Cheng, of course he answered loudly at this time.
"Team Liu, what Ben will say is the truth?" Qin Cheng looked at Liu Shanhe, who was at a loss, and asked sharply.
"Yes...... What General Qin said was the truth. Liu Shanhe said in a low voice, secretly bitter in his heart, when he danced the knife before, it was to cooperate with his lie of diarrhea and collapse, so there was a plot where the long knife almost got out of his hand, but he never thought that this time it would become the evidence of the crime in Qin Cheng's mouth.
"Well, in that case, it's no wonder that Ben will be ruthless!" Qin Cheng shouted angrily, "Before the assessment, the general had repeatedly ordered that you should not cheat, but Team Liu did not listen
