Here's how:

Jin Hou sat in the big tent, holding a steel knife with blood stains in his hand, and after being able to see this scene in front of him, those who were not frightened to pee their pants or beg for mercy could be selected.

The second condition, personal condition.

Personal conditions here refer to body size and the individual's ability to react.

Since the main assassination mission was carried out by Jin Hou himself, the other Assassins who were chosen did not need personal judgment, they only needed to be able to react and carry out the orders given by Jin Hou in a timely manner.

According to this, there are two criteria for Jin Hou's selection,

One is to be as short and thin as possible, but the strength should not be small, because when they carry out assassination missions, the weapons they use are small crossbow arrows, and if they do not have a certain amount of strength, the accuracy of the crossbow arrows they shoot will be greatly reduced.

Of course, it is probably very difficult to find someone like Jin Hou himself, who looks like a monkey but has a lot of strength.

Secondly, it is the ability to react.

A person with poor reflexes, even if Jin Hou shouts out his throat, after Jin Hou assassinates the target himself, this person may not be able to react.

Third, age.

The younger the person, the more he will be despised by the assassin.

Jin Hou learned this from Jin Jue.

Many of Jin Jue's enemies despised him because of his age, and as a result, everyone fell big in this regard.

Zhang Lu is like this, and so is Liu Zhang.

Choosing and choosing, among the 20,000 recruits, Jin Hou also found five young people who echoed the three targets he set.

"Golden Tooth Gate, is this enough?" As soon as he saw the person chosen by Jin Hou, Liu Ji asked uneasily.

"Hehehe!" Jin Hou glanced at Liu Ji, smiled, and said back: "Liu Jianjun, you should worry more about yourself!" It's not that I deliberately found fault, the guard that the lord selected for you, his personal martial arts are not good, but what is he doing, when you are working in the army, if you still keep him by your side, please forgive the last general for not accompanying him. ”

"This ......," Liu Ji immediately showed a look of embarrassment on his face when he heard this.

"Why, do you think he's not suitable now?" Jin Hou looked at Liu Ji's appearance and asked funny.

Liu Ji nodded helplessly, gritted his teeth one last time, and asked in a low voice: "Yes, Golden Tooth Gate, do you have any good suggestions, or good candidates?" ”

With the guard next to Liu Ji who Jin Hou had not dealt with before, Jin Hou also admitted that there was absolutely no problem with his personal martial arts, but, after this period of getting along, Liu Ji had already seen that this person was difficult to become atmospheric, small-bellied, lazy, calculating, and broken-mouthed.

No, it is said that he is the guard sent by Liu Bei to Liu Ji's side, so he should stay by Liu Ji's side all the time, but as soon as he enters the city, as long as Liu Ji says that he doesn't need to follow him anymore, this guy will be lazy, either sleeping in the house, drinking in the tavern, or going to the land of fireworks to find a woman. If he had been following Liu Ji, Jin Hou would not have said bad things about this person in front of Liu Ji.

"Suggestion, naturally. The guards you want to choose, Lord Overseer, are, first, ordinary in appearance, too tall in different sizes, and too strong in different body shapes. Second, the response is fast and there are few words. You don't have to look for such a person in the army anymore, I have seen it myself, and I have not found such a man for the time being. In fact, for this alone, you can ask Mrs. Mi for help. Presumably, through getting along in the past few days, Mrs. Mi has already seen the problem with your guard! Jin Hou replied.

At this moment, someone outside the big account reported: "General Qiqi Yamen, there is an urgent report, the horse exploration you sent outside the city is reported, and it is expected that Chen Da's troops will be able to arrive in Xiapi City in one day." ”

Now the sky is close to dusk, the time of the day, that is to say, at this time tomorrow, Chen Da's department will arrive in Xiapi City. However, after all, it was the result of the scout's own visual inspection, and the specific time of the arrival of Chen Da's department could not be completely determined.

"Very good, you sent someone to notify you overnight and act according to the plan." When Jin Hou heard this, his expression did not change, he nodded, and commanded loudly without thinking.

The so-called plan, only Jin Hou, Mrs. Mi and Liu Ji knew, in order to delay the arrival of Chen Da's troops in Xiapi City, Jin Hou formulated a relevant plan.

Of course, the method of digging trenches and building long walls and fortresses like Jin Jue did in Yizhou will not work here, and what they have to do now is to paralyze their opponents.

Therefore, the method that Jin Hou wanted to fight was to take advantage of the right time and place to cut off the road south of Picheng, so as to delay the speed of Chen Da's search and arrest and march, and at the same time not let Chen Da be aware.

It's summer, and it happens that during this time, the upper reaches of a river flowing through the south of Xiapi City are surging, and there is a bridge built by Tao Qian when he was the pastor of Xuzhou, which is a convenient way to enter Xiapi City. After learning the news, the Jinhou Office immediately arranged for people to prepare to use the surging river water to secretly destroy the bridge.

This is the so-called right time and place.

After sending away the reporter, Jin Hou said to Liu Ji: "Liu Jianjun, when it comes to choosing a guard, you have to do it as soon as possible, two people are enough." Go for it! ”

Hearing this, Liu Ji nodded, bowed his hand to Jin Hou, and hurried to Liu Bei's mansion.

As soon as Mrs. Mi heard Liu Ji's words, she readily agreed, and after getting along for the past few days, she actually saw that the guard that her husband found for Liu Ji was extremely unreliable, and it was difficult to count on him at a critical moment. And his troubled personality may be bad for big things. So, she immediately asked all the guards in Liu Bei's mansion to come over and let Liu Ji choose by himself.

Liu Ji followed Jin Hou's suggestion and selected two guards who were extremely ordinary-looking and not very old. This is also the theory of dealing with Jin Jue, a relatively young man reacts faster, and vice versa.

The plan laid out by Jin Hou to destroy the bridge is going very well. That same night, the men he sent to destroy the bridge, with the help of the surging river, destroyed the bridge.

When Chen Da came to the south bank of the river the next morning, his face was very unpleasant, and if he had followed the marching plan, he would have been able to reach the city of Xiapicheng at noon today.

Unexpectedly, at such a critical moment, the bridge leading to Xiapi City suddenly collapsed.

Therefore, Chen Da immediately sent his soldiers to build a temporary pontoon bridge, and on the other hand, he sent people to visit the surrounding people and ask about the relevant information of the bridge.
