Chapter 142: Recruitment
Shouchun, Yuan Shu was furious when he learned that Chen Lan was killed in battle and Lei Bo was captured, and roared angrily: "Han Xuan'er is very hateful, I will personally lead the army to attack him." ”
The general who sat down bowed to Yuan Shu and said: "Why should the general come in person, and wish to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to break it." ”
Yuan Shu looked at this young general, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Bo Fu is brave, I love him very much." A certain number of you have 8,000 elite soldiers, and you are ordered to be the vanguard and go with Qiao Rui to attack Han Xuan. ”
Sun Ce summoned Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang to discuss, Sun Ce sighed: "Yuan Shu is afraid that I will set up my own door, so he only let me be the vanguard, and send Qiao Rui to monitor me." My father's will was not fulfilled, but I was under the command of Yuan Shu, and my husband never stood under other people's houses. ”
When Sun Ce thought of this, he thought of Sun Jian, who died tragically, and he was ashamed of being an eight-foot man for failing to take revenge. The corners of Sun Ce's eyes were moist, and Cheng Pu and the others comforted: "Childe doesn't have to be sentimental, and wait for the opportunity to get out of Yuan Shu's control." We are the old generals of the lord, and we will swear to help the son to achieve a great cause. ”
Sun Ce took the ancient ingot knife left to him by Sun Jian, stroked the word "Sun Jian" engraved on the sword, clenched his fists and said, "Father, you must bless Ce'er in the spirit of heaven." ”
Han Xuan's army besieged Wancheng for more than ten days, the garrison of Anhui City, Yang Ju's army food has been cut off, Liu Xun sent troops to rescue several times, but Han Xuan defeated and annexed his subordinates, Yang Ju had to open the city and surrender. Han Xuanjun captured a lot of Lujiang people, Han Xuan chose the elite among them, and used Chen Wu to supervise the leadership, known as "Wudang Army".
After Han Xuan occupied the city of Anhui, he repaired the city defense to prevent Yuan Shu from sending troops to attack, and at the same time issued a wide order to recruit talents. Whether you are a bandit or a gangster, or a child of a poor family, as long as you have a skill, you can come to the recruitment hall to take the exam, and after passing the exam, you can serve in the military county.
For a while, many people came to work, and seeing that the front of the recruitment hall was full of people who came to take the exam, Han Xuan sighed that there were really a lot of talents in Lujiang and other places, at least more than Changsha and Guiyang.
Han Xuan and Chen Wu walked into the recruitment hall, and the test takers all discussed: "These two people are very young!" I don't know which of the two of them is Han Xuan, this Han Xuan can do the post of Changsha Taishou at a young age, and he has taken Guiyang, and now he wants to take Lujiang. We will serve him and have a bright future. ”
Han Xuan stood on the high platform and shouted to everyone, "Everyone, everyone be quiet first. I'm Han Xuan, everyone who came here to take the exam must have a skill, and at the moment I only have the literary test and the martial arts test in the recruitment hall. The examiner only needs to write down your analysis and judgment on the current situation or your views on my great cause on the brief in front of your case. The martial arts tester needs to compete with the young man next to me, and those who can walk under his hand can pass. ”
Han Xuan looked at Chen Wu beside him, and Chen Wu stepped forward and shouted to them: "I am Chen Wu, the general under General Han, and the challenger needs to report his name and compete with me on the martial arts platform." ”
At this time, two people stepped forward to bow to Chen Wu, one was a native of Jiujiang Shouchun, surnamed Jiang, named Qin, and the word Gongyi; One person is a Cai person under the Jiujiang River, surnamed Zhou, named Tai, and the word Youping.
Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai both suffered from the chaos of the world, gathered people in the river to be water thieves, looting for a living. I have heard of Han Xuan's name for a long time, and he can recruit talents, so he specially came to give it a try.
Jiang Qin jumped into the ring, clasped his fists at Chen Wu and bowed, "General Chen Wu, I am offended." ”
Chen Wu saw that Jiang Qin's body was as light as a swallow, and his whole body was muscular, so he must be good at martial arts. Chen Wu picked a spear on the weapon rack, held a spear in his hand, and then said to Jiang Qin: "I am good at using a spear, you pick a weapon that is convenient to fight with me." ”
Jiang Qin hooked up a big iron knife on the weapon rack with his foot, caught the iron knife in the air with his hand, turned it around on the back of his hand, and attacked Chen Wu with the knife upside down.
Chen Wu was not in a hurry, the family heirloom marksmanship shook out, and the spear opened and closed to cover Jiang Qin's position. Jiang Qin slashed at Chen Wu's spear with his back-held knife, his body was like a swimming fish, and it was difficult for Chen Wu to catch. Jiang Qin and Chen Wu fought for twenty times, and finally approached Chen Wu, Chen Wu shouted, and the head of the spear with the red tassel rotated and stabbed at Jiang Qin. Jiang Qin's elbow couldn't resist the big knife in his hand, so he had to flip a few backflips.
Chen Wu forced Jiang Qin to the side of the stage with a spear, Jiang Qin raised his knife and used the blade of the knife to block the shot stabbed by Chen Wu, and his heel was almost out of the competition platform. Once Jiang Qin falls out of the ring, then he loses.
Jiang Qin bowed his waist to withdraw the force on the knife, Chen Wu stabbed forward by inertia, Jiang Qin took advantage of the momentum to slash horizontally, and Chen Wulian took a few steps back. Chen Wu put away his gun and stood up, and smiled at Jiang Qin: "You are very good, you have passed!" ”
Jiang Qin put away his knife and hugged his fist at Chen Wu and bowed: "Accept, General Chen." ”
Jiang Qin stepped out of the ring, and another person flew into the ring, it was Jiang Qin's friend from the same county, Zhou Tai, who was a water thief in the river with him. Zhou Tai didn't say much, picked up Jiang Qin's knife and spun it to slash at Chen Wu.
Chen Wu retreated again and again, and was forced to the edge of the ring by Zhou Tai. Chen Wu had no choice but to jump up, Zhou Tai raised his knife and stabbed upward, and Chen Wu used a gun in the air to pull away Zhou Tai's knife.
The two exchanged positions, Chen Wu turned around and stabbed the gun again, the iron knife in Zhou Tai's hand rolled Chen Wu's gun and turned around a few times, Zhou Tai made a force to slash at the body of Chen Wu's spear, and the body of the gun was tough, otherwise it would be split. Zhou Tai attacked Chen Wu again and again, and Chen Wu jumped up, so he had to turn from attack to defense.
Chen Wu was secretly frightened, and it seemed that he had to use the Panlong Sword Technique, and the spear shook out the first three sword techniques and attacked Zhou Tai. Zhou Tai was not familiar with this set of knife techniques at first, he wondered how the spear could use the knife technique, Zhou Tai's iron knife in his hand danced impermeable, and after guarding more than ten times, he was familiar with Chen Wu's set of knife techniques.
Zhou Tai's sword technique attacked Chen Wu in four directions, and began to look for his flaws, and finally saw Chen Wu frequently protecting his left waist, Zhou Tai jumped up and stabbed it. Chen Wu suddenly stepped back, and only stopped in an instant until the edge of the ring.
Zhou Tai realized that Chen Wu was deliberately selling flaws to him, but due to inertia, his body still flew forward, so Zhou Tai had to throw the iron knife in his hand at Chen Wu.
When Chen Wu saw Zhou Tai throwing a knife over, he hurriedly lowered his head and lowered his waist to dodge, and at the same time threw the spear in his hand towards Zhou Tai. Chen Wu grabbed Zhou Tai's knife handle with his hand and looked at Zhou Tai, only to see that he also took Chen Wu's spear and stabbed the gun to the ground next to the ring, supporting his body that was about to fall past the ring.
After Zhou Tai stabilized his body, he pulled out his spear and attacked Chen Wu again, but he didn't expect Zhou Tai's marksmanship to be very exquisite. After the two exchanged weapons, they fought for more than twenty times, and then each dropped his weapon and sat in the ring and laughed.
Zhou Tai hugged his fist at Chen Wu and said: "I, Zhou Tai, admire heroes and heroes the most, it is rare for General Chen to have such martial arts at a young age, I admire it!" ”
Chen Wu smiled: "It's been a long time since I've fought so happily, Brother Zhou, thank you for giving in." ”
Han Xuan walked over and helped them up and said, "The two of you have a wonderful competition, I am dazzled." Get up, drink water, rest, rest, and rest! ”
Zhou Tai thanked Han Xuan and went down with Chen Wu and Jiang Qin, and Han Xuan instructed the people in the Zhaoxian Pavilion to monitor the literary examination. Han Xuan stepped out of the ring, and when he saw a scribe leading the servant out of the door, Han Xuan hurriedly chased after him.
"Sir! Please stay, but there is something inconsiderate about the hospitality, and please ask Mr. for advice. Han Xuan caught up and said.
The scribe arched his hand towards Han Xuan and said: "In Xialu Fan Lu Ziheng, I came from Runan to Jiangdong for refuge, and I learned that the general was recruiting talents, so I came here to take a look. ”
It turned out to be Lu Fan, Han Xuan knew that he was a general with both civil and military skills, and his status in Eastern Wu was very high in history. People with ability are arrogant, Han Xuan lowered his body and said to Lu Fan: "I don't know what Mr. thinks, can I ask Mr. to go to the house with me?" ”
