Luo Ping looked at the sundial on his side from time to time at the end of the line, as time passed, the shadow created by the sun's rays shining on the sundial's long needle had passed half an hour, and no one had yet appeared at the end of the field of vision.

Cheng Chumo has been leading the first group for several years, and I have to say that these second lords have a good tutor, maintaining the same pace and running forward, but compared with the previous relaxed and happy chat, now entering the last section of the journey, all of them have tense faces, sweat has already soaked their clothes, and there is no idle time to spend on their mouths.

And our famous brother Su Lie has been falling behind the tail of the first group, not following him quickly or slowly, that is, he doesn't want to go up to steal the limelight, and he doesn't want the second generation to recognize him.

Su Lie was followed by the second group with the largest number of people, and was pulled down by the first group for a short time, so it shouldn't be a problem to cross the finish line on time. Even Changsun Chong and Ma Zhou are running hard here, looking like they are not very reluctant, the literati of this era are not comparable to the literati who are powerless in the later dynasties, and the martial arts of the Tang Dynasty are all wearing ritual swords and ritual swords. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism only because of his need to rule and for power, but he did not know that Confucianism, a school of thought that he held up to heaven with his own hands, became more and more intense, and finally kidnapped civilization, imprisoned thoughts, and in turn corroded the country and the people.

The small group of people at the back were pulled farther and farther away by the crowd in front of them, and they were about to be thrown away, Du He didn't want to drag Fang Yiai and said to him, "Yiai, you leave me, run up, don't be eliminated for me, I know that it will be no problem to pass the test with your skills." Even if I am eliminated, my skills are not as good as others, and it will be okay to go home and be scolded. ”

After hearing this, Fang Yiai shook his head and said, "No, I can't give up on you, if I dump you here, what will others think of me in the future, such an unrighteous thing, I won't do it." ”

Du He was moved, I didn't expect that the house love who had been wooden had such righteousness, and he felt guilty in his heart, in the past, he Du He was in the back to fool his house love, not only did he annoy him, but also helped him like this, muttering speechless.

Fang Yiai: "Okay, I know what you're thinking, I don't mean I'm stupid, I just don't want to lose your friend, my friend is good, although you sometimes love to take advantage of me, but you are still a friend who treats me sincerely." So I won't leave you behind this time, think about it, today's opportunity, why don't we fight hard, and finally wait for my father to let go, so I finally waited for this opportunity to join the army, I must choose. ”

Du He's face was red and embarrassed and said, "I won't be in the future, don't worry, good brother, I know that you don't like to study literature, so you want to join the army and go to the battlefield, but I can't do it without martial arts, I have nothing to think about, that is, I can't choose it, and I will be happy for you if you can be selected." ”

Fang Yiai said angrily, "Fart." This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, are you so willing to degenerate, have been your son, don't think I don't know, you just want to attract your father's attention, so you are so profligate, the result can only be more and more intense, so that Uncle Du hates you even more, cheer up, work hard with your brother this time, we must be selected, I want to pursue my dream, you also have to do a career to make Uncle Du look at you, isn't this what you want. ”

Du He didn't expect that Fang Yiai had already seen the fire, only to know how ignorant and ridiculous his behavior was, what Yiai said was right, since he came, then fight for it once, even if he failed, it only proved that he Du He really has no ability, and he deserves to be a gentleman for a lifetime. His eyes slowly became firm, he nodded at Fang Yiai, and plucked up his strength to follow Fang Yiai.

Luo Ping had already seen many black dots on the high platform slowly getting bigger, and then commanded his soldiers to prepare accordingly to meet them.

In the distance, Cheng Shimo saw the flag representing the end of the line, roared and accelerated, and the crowd behind also roared in unison, and rushed up with the last strength, and as the people behind also followed, suddenly a large group of black and oppressive figures ran hard to bring up a piece of dust.

Cheng Chumo, Yu Chi Baolin, Li Zhen, Niu Jianhu and dozens of people passed the finish line in the first batch, Su Dingfang, Changsun Chong, Ma Zhou and others arrived close behind, seeing that most of the people had already reached the finish line, Luo Ping looked at the time and was ready to wait for the announcement of the results.

Fang Yiai and Du He also saw the finish line, Fang Yi Ai pulled Du He and screamed desperately to use the last strength to rush to the finish line, just when they just crossed the finish line, the two fell to the ground together.

Luo Ping saw that the time was just right, and signaled that everyone who had not arrived in the back was eliminated.

The people behind were stopped by the soldiers, and they all wailed and sighed.

Luo Ping firmly performed his duties, walked up to the high platform and slowly swept around the people who reached the finish line, there were one or two thousand fewer people than at the beginning, and the rest of them could not let them rest and said loudly, "Everyone listen, the soldiers and generals who have passed the long-distance running will gather on the right side of the high platform for the second test of selection, and those who sign up for civilian jobs will go to the left side for the second test of selection." ”

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard someone protesting, and I was not allowed to rest and had to be assessed, which was almost life-threatening.

Luo Ping said with a serious face, "The protest is invalid, you can only choose to participate or abstain, and if you say it again, if you disrespect the order, the protester will abstain from the right and be expelled immediately." ”

The person who shouted immediately shut up when he heard such a stern, and finally passed the first assessment, saying that he would continue to say anything, and now he was expelled from the field, and he would not be ashamed of the dead. Everyone did as they were told, and they walked to the test site.

The second test of civilian officials is not difficult, assessing the knowledge and the key points of marching civilian duties, and if you can understand the art of war, it is easier to pass. This thing is not a little difficult for experienced people, the eldest grandson Chong was the first to step forward to test, Du He rubbed his face and followed with confidence, just kidding, even if he is a mallet, he follows a prime minister's father every day, such a test is not difficult for him Du He. He was a little worried about Fang Yiai, in order to help him just now, Fang Yiai was basically running alone.

In the second test of the soldiers, a single person can carry or lift a heavy object weighing 300 pounds and walk 100 steps. Seeing this person, he retreated, this has just completed a 10-kilometer run, and he has to test his strength without resting. You can't be pressed down yet.

What needs to be known is that this is not Li De's mess up, but based on the physical strength of the Tang Dynasty people, combined with the battlefield situation, we might as well take a look at the "Wei Wushu" trained by Wu Qilian, one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, The selection criteria are much more cruel than Li De's.

"Xunzi Yibing Chapter" said: "Wei Zhiwu's soldiers take it by degree, the armor of the three genera, the crossbow of the twelve stones, the negative arrow is fifty, the crown is on it, the crown is with a sword, and the food for three days is won, and the day is in the middle of the day and tends to a hundred miles." It means that a soldier wears three layers of heavy armor (inner and outer layers of protective clothing or another name for heavy armor) and an iron helmet, can open a crossbow of twelve stones (one hundred and twenty catties is one stone), each person carries fifty crossbows, holds a long or iron halberd, a belt and a sword, carries three days of combat food and grass, and can walk more than 100 miles in half a day. Looking at the above, you know that a soldier has to prepare so much equipment and rations, which is no less than the modern soldiers of later generations, and he must immediately go into battle after running a hundred miles, this is simply the ancient special forces, or the heavy special forces, so Wu Qi can repeatedly punch and kick Qin, Zhao, and Qi. Not a single defeat. It made Wei dominate for a while.

Another reason is that China has always been an agrarian civilization, and before industrialization, it relied on manpower to do production. The same was true in the Tang Dynasty, where the vast majority of the people were strong laborers and engaged in high-intensity labor work. From Li Shimin's uniform field system, we can know that the main content of the uniform field system in the Tang Dynasty was: middle men and Ding men over the age of 18 were each given 80 acres of land and 20 acres of Yongye field. Forty acres of land for old men and disabled people, and thirty acres for widows and concubines; Imagine that if this is changed to the next generation, let college students or office workers farm, not to mention 20 acres, it is estimated that they will be tired and lie down, so there must be many people in the Tang Dynasty who can lift 300 catties of heavy objects.

Yu Chi Baolin was the first to step forward to test, only to see him shake his hand, and as soon as he tried his best, he picked it up and walked forward, and after a while, he reached the finish line.

Cheng Chumo, Niu Jianhu, Li Zhen and the three of them said with black lines on their faces, "This guy is really the breed of the Yu Chi family, like a brute bull." ”

The three of them didn't want to be compared, so they seized the time to take a good breath, and they had enough strength to pass the test one after another.

All the candidates went up to the test, needless to say, there must be easy, some hard, some were overwhelmed by two steps, and some couldn't take one step, and they were defeated.

Fang Yiai arrived at the end of the line, which just gave him a chance to breathe, and he relaxed and recovered, otherwise he was so desperate just now that he was basically running against this Duhe and the two of them with weights, and the test would definitely be enough as soon as he came up.

After waiting for a long time, Fang Yiai also successfully passed the test.

All the candidates have been tested, needless to say, there must be easy, hard, some who take two steps to be overwhelmed, and those who can't take one step have been defeated. After this test, some people were eliminated.
