Chapter 472 - Drawing lots to select generals

"Ladies and gentlemen, the election challenge will officially begin tomorrow!"

The council hall of the handsome camp was full of generals, and Shen Jin's words fell, and he was silent.

"These days, you have all gone into the mountains to inspect the topography of the mountains and the topography of the rivers, and you must have a good idea of the situation in the mountains. In the general selection order, it has been explained that before coming to the general camp, you should have made some preparations in the station, what preparations have been made, and whether the preparations are good or not, you will see through this actual battle! I won't repeat what this actual combat selection means to you, I hope you all show your true strength, treat this actual combat challenge as a real battlefield, and seriously fight to win or lose! ”

After Shen Jin finished speaking, he looked at the generals and schools, but the hall was still silent.

"I won't say more, let's start drawing lots now and pick out the team that will enter the mountain tomorrow to challenge. I have 38 paper regiments here, of which 37 are written with the word "preparation" for preparing for war, and only one is written with the word "war" for challenge. Of course, those who draw the word 'war' can also give up the challenge, giving up the challenge means giving up the selection of the general, whether to fight or not to fight, you all think clearly. Come one by one in order and start choosing! ”

Shen Jin gave an order, and a general sitting in the first place got up and came to the table, reached into the frame and grabbed a paper ball.

"Unfold and read it out loud."

As Shen Jin's words fell, the general unfolded the paper ball in his hand with some trepidation, only glanced at it, and then let out a sigh of relief, and then shouted very excitedly: "Prepare!" ”

Shen Jin stretched out his hand to take the note and looked at it, and the word "preparation" was written on it, and then said, "Next!" ”

The colonel returned to his original position and sat down, and a colonel next to him had already gone to the table to pick out a paper ball, he also unfolded the paper ball with nervousness, tense his nerves and moved his gaze to the note, and after seeing it clearly, his face was relieved, and he laughed loudly: "Ready!" ”

After Shen Jin took the look, he immediately said, "Next!" ”

One more stepped forward and reached into the frame.

"Ready!"

Another man stepped forward.

"Ready!"

The colonel continued to move forward.

"Ready!"

"Ready!"

.............

A dozen generals and colonels in a row, extremely nervous in their hearts unfolded the paper ball, until they saw the word "preparation" on it, they put down their hanging hearts, and then returned to their original positions to watch the play, escaped, and wondered who this unlucky guy was today.

None of the nearly 40 people present here have experienced the actual combat challenge of the general selection camp, so naturally no one wants to be the first to go on it, so they want others to explore the depths first, and they follow behind.

The draw continued, and never stopped.

"Fight."

After drawing six or seven more words for "preparation," a slight word "war" entered everyone's ears, and everyone's attention in the hall immediately shifted to the general who was holding the note in front of the desk.

"What? Be louder. ”

Shen Jin's heart was light, and he was finally pulled out.

"Fight!"

The general almost shouted out the words that frightened him in a trembling voice, and he was in a trance.

In stark contrast, the rest of the more than 20 generals in the hall who had not drawn lots were selected, some pretended to be calm, some breathed a sigh of relief, and the other 37 people all had gloating on their faces.

Shen Jin took the note, and after checking it, he said loudly: "The first team to participate in the actual combat challenge has appeared, and it is the Xiao Cavalry!" Now, in front of the commanders of the armies, tell me out loud, to fight or not to fight? ”

The chief general who came to the general selection camp on behalf of the Xiao cavalry army to participate in the selection of generals was not very old, about twenty-four or five years old, of medium stature, facing the expectant eyes of the generals in the hall, beads of sweat suddenly gushed on his forehead, his head was dizzy, dizzy, his mind was in chaos, whether to fight or not to fight, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

"Cavalry, fight or not, tell me immediately."

Shen Jin stared at the general of the Xiao Cavalry Army who was in a trance, and reminded him again.

"No...... No fighting. It seems that after a difficult decision, the commander of the cavalry stammered his decision.

As soon as the word "no war" came out, the hearts of all the generals in the hall trembled, and the expressions on everyone's faces couldn't help but stiffen.

Shen Jin raised his eyebrows and asked loudly: "Xiao Cavalry, you have thought clearly, if you choose not to fight, you will lose the opportunity to choose a general this time!" ”

The commander of the cavalry army closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then opened his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "After thinking about it, I will give up the selection of generals." ”

Shen Jin refolded the note in his hand, put it into the bamboo basket with more than 20 paper balls left, and said loudly: "I hereby announce on behalf of the election camp that the Xiao cavalry will withdraw from the election challenge!" ”

The commander of the cavalry army bowed his head and returned to his seat, his eyes did not dare to make eye contact with anyone, and the whispered discussion of everyone made him feel like he was on pins and needles.

"Quiet! The draw continues! ”

Shen Jin stretched out his hand to shake the bamboo frame and shuffle the paper ball again.

It was cold in the hall, and no one stepped forward.

"The one behind the cavalry will continue to smoke!"

There is no explanation, and those who have not drawn lots today will be drawn again until the team that will enter the mountain tomorrow to challenge will be drawn.

When the words fell, a general stepped forward, stretched out his hand to pick and choose in the frame for a long time, and then took out a paper ball, opened the paper ball with trembling hands and looked at it, and saw that it was a "preparation" on it, and his face was happy, and his hand stopped trembling.

"Ready!"

This high-pitched voice was like winning the jackpot.

"Next!"

Shen Jin didn't know what to say, everyone was so afraid of war, so what did they do in the army?

The next general stepped forward, and after a long time of exploration, he pulled out the word "preparation", and the word "preparation" came out, as if he was in a desperate situation.

"Next. Don't grind, go fast! ”

In Shen Jin's warning, the generals who came forward to draw lots were much faster, and they basically reached out and took out the paper balls from the bamboo basket, without the opportunity to choose at their discretion.

But more than a dozen in a row, all of them were the word "preparation", and more than a dozen people changed from being in a nervous mood to watching a play.

"What are you smoking? Illiterate? ”

Seeing that the colonel was holding an unfolded note in his hand and was silent for a long time, Shen Jin was a little anxious, and he couldn't wait to grab it directly.

"Battle...... War...... War word. ”

The general shuddered and froze in place.

Shen Jin stretched out his hand to take the note, and after checking that it was indeed the word "war", he asked again: "Xiaoxiong Army, to fight or not to fight?" ”

As soon as the words entered his ears, the commander of the heroic army was silent, fine beads of sweat secreted from his forehead, and his heart was turbulent, and it was difficult to decide whether to fight or not to fight.

"To fight or not to fight? Tell the commanders of the forbidden army loudly! ”

Shen Jin was inexplicably a little annoyed in his heart, a challenge would not bleed to death, why were they all afraid of being like this, and they didn't even have the courage to challenge.

"No fighting."

After a long time, the commander of the Xiaoxiong army gritted his teeth and spit out two words, and it could be seen from the look on his face that he had experienced a lot of torment in his heart, and his spirit was too depleted and exhausted.

Shen Jin no longer dissuaded, and directly folded the note with the word "war" back into a paper ball and put it back into the bamboo basket, and then said loudly: "Here, on behalf of the election general battalion, I announce that the Xiaoxiong Army will withdraw from this election challenge!" ”

Before the commander of the Xiaoxiong Army returned to his seat, he announced in a loud voice: "Continue the lottery!" ”

The rest of the generals who had never drawn lots stepped forward in turn, and after the word "prepare" several times in a row, suddenly a person stood in front of the table and did not stretch out his hand to draw lots.

"Lord Joiner, I don't smoke, I want to be the first to fight tomorrow!"

After standing for a moment, the general suddenly spoke out and asked for battle.

"No."

Shen Jin refused without hesitation.

"Why? Since they don't want to be the first to fight, why don't you let me go? ”

The general didn't understand it very much, and he immediately had to ask for clarification.

"Courage is commendable, but the order of challenge has its own rules, the rules of the selection camp is to draw lots, even if you want to fight, you still have to draw lots, draw the word 'war' to challenge, otherwise what are the rules? If you want to play today, you will play, and tomorrow if others don't want to play, can you not play? Among the military, it is the most discipline-oriented, and the rules that are set must be followed. Let's draw lots! ”

Shen Jin naturally would not agree to break the rules, his time in the army is not short, and he knows the harm of breaking the rules, even if he can't draw the word "war" in the first round today, he can't promise the opportunity to fight at will.

"Okay, I'll smoke. God willing, you must let me draw the word 'war'! ”

After speaking, the general reached into the bamboo basket, and after some stirring, he took out a paper ball, slowly opened it, and his expression changed greatly as the handwriting appeared on it.

"Hahaha, fight! I drew the word 'war'! Lao Tzu will be the first to enter the mountain tomorrow to challenge! ”

The general laughed, his eyebrows fluttered, holding a note, and couldn't help but shout.

"Bring it."

Shen Jin stretched out his hand to ask for the note to check, swept the words on it, his face did not change, and then crumpled the note into a ball, and immediately asked loudly: "Xuanwei Army, to fight or not to fight?" ”

"Fight! Coming all the way, how can there be a reason not to fight! If you enter the mountain tomorrow, you will definitely beat them and beg for mercy! ”

The general colonel is not an outsider, it is Yuan Hua, the general of the Xuanwei Army who came to participate in the general selection challenge on behalf of the Xuanwei Army, hearing Shen Jin's question, he was immediately very excited, and made a bold statement in front of the Zhulu Forbidden Army.

As soon as he came to the Xuanwei Camp a few days ago, he inquired clearly, almost all of the team of the Xuanwei Battalion were acquaintances, Su Zhong and Pan Cheng did not say, Shen Shenjun was also a person who was there at the beginning of the formation of the Xuanwei Army, and the deputy marshal Yang Congyi was still the one who supervised the construction of the Xuanwei Army, and later served as a supervisor for more than two years, leading them to fight in Guangnan for three or four months.

Coming to the election camp is no different from returning to the Xuanwei Army, as for the challenge of entering the mountain, Yuan Hua is not worried at all, the strength of Luo Cong and Yao Chang, he knows very well that in terms of hard power, they are ranked low in the Xuanwei Army, and if they really want to fight a battle, they will be defeated.

"Good! On behalf of the Election General Battalion, I would like to announce here that the first team to enter the mountain to challenge is the Xuanwei Army! Tomorrow, the challenge begins! ”

After Shen Jin announced the first team to enter the mountain to challenge, his eyes swept over the rest of the generals in the hall who were watching the show, and he had a lot to say in his heart.

"You don't have to worry, when the Xuanwei Army is finished, the second round of lottery will start soon!"
