"It's just a pity, if he had been studying too much instead of martial arts, his achievements in the future should be even greater."

Zhang Fu shook his head lightly with regret.

"Xiao Wang sees that Deputy Envoy Yang is very suitable for the selection of generals, maybe he likes to be in the army, but not in the yamen."

Zhao Ying didn't agree with Zhang Fu's statement, although Taixue is not something that anyone can enter, but martial arts is not something that can be entered casually, since it is naturally his own choice to enter martial arts, and judging from his previous remarks, he prefers to talk about military affairs and hopes to establish meritorious deeds in the army.

"Who knows?"

Zhang Fu no longer argued with Zhao Jin, since he had known Yang Congyi, he naturally knew that the reason why he was in the army was not his own will, but the way he had to go.

The two stopped talking about Yang Congyi, chatted for a while, and dispersed to rest.

The selection challenge has ended, but the selection is not yet complete.

According to Yang Congyi's original plan, he wanted to select ten outstanding generals, and then take them to follow the county king into Lin'an to receive the rewards of the court and the emperor, and spread their names all over the world, just like the students of the imperial examination high school in Donghuamen.

However, the situation was completely different from what he envisioned, and he originally wanted to select people who could fight and dare to fight on the basis of the selection of generals and camps to cultivate, so that when Yan Liang went south in the future, he would advance and retreat together, conquer the battlefield, and make contributions.

Now that the actual combat challenge has just ended, he will soon form a new army with the participating troops, and the completion of the new army will naturally have nothing to do with him, and he will be taken over by the two famous generals Li and Shao in an instant, and it will not be his turn to interfere again.

Also, the original intention of establishing the general selection battalion was to select generals, and then enter Lin'an to be rewarded, and now to build a new army, I am afraid that this matter will be yellow, and the forbidden army stationed abroad has been revoked, and the reward will be awarded, and the example will be set up for whom?

Besides, if they were excellent generals, why were all the units they were in cancelled due to old age, weakness, disability, and neglect of training? Isn't this inconsistent with what the court said, giving people a handle?

Yang Congyi returned to the camp and quickly figured out that since the imperial court decided to abolish the old army and form a new army, it would no longer select outstanding generals to be summoned to Lin'an for rewards according to the original plan. If the emperor no longer summons the selected young generals and the selection of generals is set up, it will be impossible to realize the desire to organize and elect generals to boost the morale of the Great Song army, that is to say, all the hard work of the election camp for more than half a year will be in vain.

As he said at the beginning, the emperor wanted to personally summon the top three young generals who had been selected, why did they suddenly become what they are now?

After thinking about it for a long time, Yang Congyi couldn't figure it out, and he could only blame it on those timid lords and civil officials, who should be afraid that the Great Song army would become stronger, and they were afraid of causing dissatisfaction in the Jin Kingdom!

Take a step back, now to form a new army, even if they really finally select outstanding generals, they will also enter the accounts of Li Xianzhong and Shao Hongyuan, even if the imperial court awards rewards, outsiders will only hear the names of famous generals such as Li Xianzhong and Shao Hongyuan, not a small general school that is unknown.

In short, the old army has been abolished, the new army has been formed, and the original intention of selecting generals and battalions has completely changed, and it no longer matters whether or not the future can be elected and what the future can be elected.

Yang Congyi didn't want to see this result, he was full of enthusiasm and turned into a wasted stream, and his heart was full of grievances and disappointments.

He is like a painter who is not famous, he tried his best to paint dozens of paintings, but he was taken away by all the connoisseurs who were invited, if the connoisseurs selected a few good paintings from them, others would praise him for his unique vision, if he did not choose, the connoisseurs would not have any loss, the only one who had a loss was the painter, Yang Congyi is now like that painter.

It doesn't matter what the result of the election is, since it is the decision of the imperial court, no matter why such a decision will be made, he believes that it is the result of the game, one side wins, one side loses, that's all, and he has no qualifications to participate in the game, he can only be at the mercy of others.

If you are not qualified to gamble, then accept the results of other people's games.

Standing on the hillside of the inner camp, looking at the greenery of spring, he suddenly remembered the Zheng Daochang he met in Tianzhu Mountain.

All things in heaven and earth have their own way of operating, and the major events in the world are not the same, and the people who can affect the fate of the world are not in the rivers and lakes, but in the temples, at least in the short term.

Since he was originally a small person, why force others to go against the trend, or be a person who conforms to the general trend, if the court wants to make peace, then hide his body, and if the court wants to fight, then he will stand up.

Yang Congyi adjusted his mentality and emotions in just a few hours, and immediately convened everyone to discuss the matter.

Before the formation of the new army, Li Xianzhong and Shao Hongyuan were selected and judged, and it was a matter of selecting generals, so of course they had to participate.

The five of them sat on the left and right sides of the camp, and Yang Congyi announced a news in public.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after more than five months, the challenge of selecting generals in actual combat is finally over, and the mission of the selection camp is about to be completed. I believe you all know that the Privy Council has come and brought the order of the court, and as for what the order is, the Privy Council will tell you. I first talked about the order given by the imperial court to the selection of generals, and the imperial court ordered the selection of generals to complete the selection of generals immediately, and then announced the new order to the whole battalion. ”

"My lord, when is it? Is there a time limit? The training performance of each army in the selection camp is recorded daily, and it will take at least five days to collect all the statistics. ”

Shen Jin immediately raised questions, and among the evaluation contents of the selection of generals formulated at the beginning, the performance of the battalion was assessed, one was training, and the other was daily military discipline management, and the data were very cumbersome.

"We don't have that much time, it's better to finish it in one day, Lord Privy Council will be back in Lin'an soon, and he will stay in the camp for two days at most."

Yang Congyi wasn't sure when Lord Zhang would leave, but seeing that Lord Zhang meant to rush back to Lin'an, after all, he had just been promoted, how could he leave Lin'an for a long time?

"It's too urgent, there are too many records, and the statistics are not clear, can you give a few days?"

Shen Jin still didn't give up and wanted to fight again.

"If the statistics are not clear, there is no need to count, leave it all to General Li and General Shao, the two generals will be judged as the election generals, and the final election power is in the hands of the two generals. Trouble General Li and General Shao, the time given by the imperial court is limited, you can select ten outstanding generals within one day, and then select the best three within these ten, and we will report the results of the election to the county king, and the matter of selecting the generals will be over. ”

Yang Congyi smiled and handed over all the decisions to Li Xianzhong and Shao Hongyuan.

Li and Shao were a little surprised when they heard this, obviously they didn't expect Yang Congyi to say it so bluntly.

"Deputy Envoy Yang is relieved, we will finish the selection of generals as soon as possible."

Li Xianzhong spoke, Shao Hongyuan was silent.

"Then there are two generals."

"Well said."

Lu You suddenly said: "My lord, the election is over, is the election camp going to be withdrawn?" The batch of grain and grass raised before is on the way to the general camp, and it is estimated that it will arrive in three or five days, how to deal with this batch of grain and grass? There is still a month's ration for the whole battalion in the granary, what to do with it? ”

Yang Congyi said: "The election camp will not be revoked so quickly, all the grain and grass raised will be transported over, and how much will be harvested will be put into the granary for storage." ”

"Two days ago, Yu County's order said that the people who moved out were making a lot of noise, and they repeatedly asked when they could return the land to them, and they didn't have time to plant autumn grain."

Lu You once again brought up this thorny question.

In fact, this question has been asked many times by Yu County, and when he borrowed the land to move last year, he did not say that the land would be used for a long time, and at the same time, he also promised the people that they would definitely be allowed to go back, and they would go back after the major affairs of the imperial court were completed. It's just that the local people have come to the election camp many times to inspect, and when they saw that the election camp showed no sign of moving out, they couldn't help but get anxious.

"Tell Yu County Order, wait for our news with peace of mind, and when the important affairs of the imperial court are completed, the people will be able to be placed in place, soon."

Yang Congyi doesn't have much interest in caring about what the people are doing now, he believes that the county government will have a way, let's delay it for a few days, and he doesn't have time to think about how to solve it.

"The challenge of selecting generals is over, and there is no need to continue to record the training of all armies, and in the future, the rations of all armies will be uniformly distributed according to the standard of two catties per person per day, and the training can be ignored, but before leaving the general selection camp, the rules of the general selection camp still have to be observed."

Yang Congyi added another sentence to Shen Jin.

Nothing was discussed, and the crowd quickly dispersed.

Early the next morning, Li Xianzhong and Shao Hongyuan found Yang Congyi with the list of candidates, and the results of the election came out.

Yang Congyi glanced at it and did not raise any objections, how to judge it was a matter for the two generals, he just chose the organizer of the generals, and that's it.

He is like a person who prunes fruit trees, fertilizes them, drives away insects and birds, and the person who picks the fruit cannot be him, others have to show it to him after picking it, and there may be a few compliments for the good fruit, but if the fruit is not good, he must be responsible.

With the results of the election, Yang Congyi, Li and Shao came to the Shuai camp to meet the king of the county.

After the list of ten people was submitted, the king of the county looked at his fate, and he didn't say much, anyway, he didn't know any of the people on the list, who to choose or not to choose, he didn't need to make up his mind at all, and he would definitely not interfere.

"Are the top three winners in the mountains?"

Zhao Ying finally asked a question, although he is a coach who doesn't care about anything, if he makes a joke, he, the nominal coach, will not be able to hang his face, after all, he has lived in the election camp for a while.

"No, the first and second places are the main players who won the real challenge, and the third place did not win the challenge."

Li Xianzhong replied respectfully.

"Oh, why?"

Zhao Ying was slightly surprised, this answer was a little unexpected to him.

Shao Hongyuan said: "The king of the county, the third Ming Fu entered the mountain to challenge very early, although the soldiers he led were all old and weak, but the fighting spirit and strategy he showed in the mountain were much stronger than the troops who entered the mountain behind, and even stronger than the victors behind. ”
