Chapter 635: A True Warrior

The Warrior Edict has been issued for more than two months, has it achieved results?

The answer, of course, is yes. The Tang Dynasty was originally martial, and the scholars still wore swords, not to mention other people who relied on their strength to eat? In just over two months, thousands of warriors have been raised in various prefectures and counties, and the trend of joining the army in the Yongzhou area has become even higher. After all, the temptation of commendation and promotion after the first two big victories is too great.

Even Li Xian himself allowed dozens of pro-soldiers to apply for the election at once, and he was an elite soldier in a hundred battles, so there was no doubt that he was selected. It's just that compared with those who are famous, more people who stay are more satisfied with today's stable life. After all, you will feel tired of licking too much blood with the knife head, and now that you have a meritorious title, why bother to fight on the battlefield with a knife and a shot?

Although he was very busy, Li Xian went out to see the lively psychology, and quietly took Cheng Bohu and Xue Dingshan to Yongzhou Party on this day, wanting to take a look at the scene of the election. As soon as he entered the door, he heard the sound of swords clashing from inside, and when he passed by the archery range, he also caught a glimpse of the red heart of the arrow target densely packed with arrows, which he was naturally very satisfied.

Of course, it is a good thing for the whole people to practice martial arts, but if in order to avoid rebellion, and ban weapons and swords and soldiers in the whole country, it is a genuine policy for the weak people, and what is the benefit of the country and the people?

He entered the door with the fuse of the East Palace, and at first no one noticed it, but when he reached the inner room, he was immediately recognized. You know, he, the former Yongzhou pastor, has been here for a while, and the top and bottom of the Yongzhou party have been changed by the martial arts because of him, who doesn't know this old boss?

Although he didn't dare to blatantly debunk Li Xiandi's identity, he came up to say hello. By the way, it is not forbidden to introduce the entire election situation, so as soon as this wave of officials left, another wave of officials followed, attracting frequent sideways glances from many people next to them. There are even many men with strong backs secretly wondering whether this is the envoy sent by the imperial court to supervise the election this time, whether they should behave more perfectly, and maybe they can replace the big man behind this one

If Cheng Bohu knew that he was treated as a soft persimmon that could be pinched casually, he would definitely go down happily to the big competition, but he was reminded by his grandfather and father for two months, and he no longer dared to act willfully in public. Just vigilantly pay attention to the surrounding situation, and the posture of a competent bodyguard.

Li Xian went around in a big circle accompanied by Sima Yongzhou, and didn't find any warriors who could surprise people, but found that he had received countless curious glances, so he reluctantly accepted Sima Di's suggestion and sat behind the curtain on the high platform with others. According to that Sima said with a wry smile. If you know that the prince of the Tang Dynasty came to see the excitement. The whole arena has to be chaotic, and it is estimated that the casualty rate will also increase dramatically - because everyone will want to perform well.

After all, I have studied with Li Ji for so many years. Although Li Xian himself is not a first-class master, his vision is very poisonous. At this time, looking at the pair of people or archery, most of them shook their heads. It's not that these people are incompetent. It's that it's still far from being a master. Just as he sighed because of this, his eyes suddenly caught a certain person in a very different outfit.

In these years, officials wore the crown of virtue, and ordinary people wore more heads. Even here, there are a large number of sturdy men, most of whom are dressed in brown or gray ground shirts, and their ages are mainly between twenty and thirty years old. However, the person Li Xian saw was different. About forty or fifty years old, his beard and hair have shown a little gray, but his spirit is full of red light, and the most striking thing is the red scarf and the forehead and the robe, which looks very eye-catching in the gray-brown.

Li Xian noticed this person, and the others were naturally no exception, no matter what, that red scarf was too conspicuous. Changshi and Sima, who were accompanying Li Xian, glanced at each other, and at the same time felt that this person was very familiar, and looked at each other for a while, Yongzhou Sima suddenly slapped lightly and hurriedly came to Li Xian's side.

"This one seems to be the overseer of the Imperial Historian."

Li Xian didn't think about how a civil official could suddenly appear here in such a costume, he just felt that the name was so familiar. After thinking about it, he couldn't come up with a reason, so he simply put this issue aside. However, the next moment, he was immediately stunned by the other party's movements.

I thought that this Lou Shide was either in a public position to inspect the situation here, or he was like himself with the psychology of watching the excitement to take a look at the situation, who knew that Lou Shide actually wrote his name in the place where he signed up. At this moment, Yongzhou Sima and Changshi were in a daze, and even Cheng Bohu and Xue Dingshan behind Li Xian felt incredible.

He ...... Is he going to sign up for the army? ”

Na Sima swallowed vigorously and turned his head to look at Li Xian for advice. Faced with this unexpected scene, Li Xian laughed after a moment of silence:

Lou Yushi also looks like a man with iron bones, since people have the heart to look at his ability! ”

Seeing that Li Xian actually did not hesitate to evaluate the four words "Zheng Zheng Iron Bone", Changshi Sima felt that this Lou Shide was lucky, and faintly even felt that the other party knew that Li Xian was here and came to show off, and he inevitably felt a sense of greasy. Who knew that Lou Shide didn't even look at the official in charge of the selection over there, but when it was his turn to play, he didn't choose to fight, but picked up the knife and played a set of knife techniques, although it was not very subtle, but the technique was extremely stable, and he didn't pant after practicing a set of knife techniques.

However, according to the edict of the pioneers, the selection of warriors this time is a little unqualified, according to the level of Lou Shide, it is still a little unqualified to be selected as a warrior, so the official in charge of the election is a little hesitant. However, after this Lou Shide returned the knife to the sheath, he did not leave the field immediately, but turned around and arched his hand towards the high platform.

"My martial arts bow horse is naturally not as good as those masters just now. It's just that His Majesty's edict to ask for warriors must not only be for the courage of a horseman. Although I am nearly fifty years old, I have the heart to serve the country on the battlefield, and I can't do martial arts and bow horses, but this courage and military strategy will not lose to others. ”

If Li Xian found out that Lou Shide was a hidden master, then he wouldn't feel anything, but the other party's martial arts were ordinary but bold, and he would be interested. After all, Datang now seems to have a tradition of Confucian generals, with Liu Renliang and Pei Xingjian in the past, who knows if there will be one more Lou Shide in the future?

Under his nod, Sima hurriedly motioned for his subordinate officials to record his name, and then turned his head to ask Li Xian if he wanted to meet alone.

Although he was very interested in this person, Li Xian shook his head when he thought that he was here to see the excitement today, and if he saw Lou Shide, he was afraid that it would be too casual. When the people left, he still remembered the gesture of wiping his forehead with the red scarf.

"A true warrior dares to face the bleak life and the dripping blood."

After reading the materials of the name, he gently recited this famous sentence that he has never forgotten, and he had a little respect for this Lou Shide in his heart. Forty-nine-year-old age as a supervisor of the imperial history, although not a high-ranking official, but the career is always open, this Lou Shide in the call to raise the edict of the warrior to join the army, this kind of pen from Rong thinking in the present and future generations, is the object of admiration and praise of the times, even if people are fighting for a better future.

With such an understanding, when he left Yongzhou and went to the East Palace, he was in an excellent mood. He never thinks that there is anything wrong with seeking progress, and he never thinks that there is anything wrong with ambition, compared to those hypocrites who are hypocritical and dare not confess their intentions, Datang's atmosphere of enthusiastically expressing himself is undoubtedly extremely appetizing to him.

So, when facing the joint questioning of Shangguan Yi, Hao Chujun and others, he lightly retold the scene he saw today. Sure enough, this group of prime ministers immediately turned their heads and praised this feat of throwing pen to paper, and no one questioned whether Lou Shide's move had any political purpose.

Especially Pei Xingjian, who has been the protector of Anxi for many years, is the same kind of person to Lou Shide - in his opinion, in addition to the people who have been degraded, there are not many people who are willing to join the army if they are civil officials.

Seeing that he had successfully changed the topic, Li Xian was naturally very happy, but looking at the mountains of official duties, he couldn't be happy immediately, so he could only cheer up and start fighting. It was easy to wipe out these things, and Pei Yan handed over another note.

Although the previous edict was only vague and did not say where to start the war next, as long as it was a person with a little vision, it could be seen that the Tang Dynasty was guarding against the great enemy in the northwest. After all, all other directions have settled down for the time being. Therefore, seeing this clearly written "Pingrong Three Strategies", Li Xian couldn't help but sigh that there are too many smart people.

Although the recital is written with thousands of words sprinkled and looks quite insightful, in a person like Li Xian, who has read a lot of official articles, although he is touched and praised, he is not really a strange article, but he feels that the person who wrote this book does dare to say that he has some ability. When Pei Yan explained that the person who read the book was just a student, he was a little moved. When he saw the signature clearly, he had the urge to laugh.

Who did he say had such a ability, but it turned out to be Wei Yuanzhong! He finally remembered who Lou Shide was before, Di Renjie, Wei Yuanzhong, and Lou Shide, aren't these the three famous faces who stood tall in Wuzhou in the history books? Thinking of this, he glanced at Pei Yan again, and suddenly showed a mysterious smile.

Compared with those three people, Pei Yan's luck in history was much worse. Of course, now it seems that this one is the most prosperous.
