Today is the day of the selection of officers for the Eastern Army, Ma Chao came to the school early and gathered all the soldiers, including the second brother Ma Xiu and the third brother Ma Tie. In order to appoint a group of officers who can convince the soldiers, it is necessary to select them fairly, openly, and justly, so that the selected officers will be more cohesive and the team will be more combative!

According to the predetermined plan, the first thing to do is to run a 10,000-meter race. Long-distance running is a test of soldiers' abilities, including personal quality, physical strength, teamwork and other comprehensive abilities of sports, seemingly simple, but can win in long-distance running, undoubtedly excellent physique and endurance! Set a position 10,000 meters away from the Tianshui City Gate, Ma Chao gave an order, and the whole army drove and set off to the Tianshui City Gate!

Ma Chao also ran in the team. Ma Chao has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and also practiced Xiliang palm and swordsmanship, his physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people, and it is natural and easy to run 10,000 meters; Sharing weal and woe with the soldiers allows Ma Chao to quickly integrate into this team, and he can also observe various soldiers on the way and select various talents; Win the victory easily, and you can also suppress the officers at all levels and enhance Ma Chao's authority in the team! There are Ma Chao running together in the army, and the officers and soldiers at all levels are also full of energy, desperately showing themselves, and striving to make a good impression in front of the general!

After 5,000 meters, a small half of them have been left behind; At 8,000 meters, only 5,000 people remained in the first group; By the time the Tianshui City Gate appeared, the entire army had been seriously stratified, and there were less than 3,000 people running in front. Easily the first to run into Tianshui City, Ma Chao instructed the army Sima to record the names of these nearly 3,000 people in turn, these 3,000 people will be Ma Chao's first team, will form a heavy cavalry brigade, an archery cavalry brigade, and a ranger brigade.

When the soldiers ran into Tianshui City from Ma Chao one by one to rest, everyone's worship of Ma Chao also reached its peak:

"The general really deserves to be called a general, that is, he is a lot stronger than us, I am about to collapse after running this 10,000 meters, everyone is tired and sweating, but the general is like a walk, and easily won the first place, with such a general, I will definitely be able to win the battle!" The warriors are talking!

Natural selection, survival of the fittest! Under the same conditions, the soldiers running behind can only blame themselves for not training hard in peacetime; For the selection of the first 3,000 people, there is no dissatisfaction, but in the future, we can redouble our efforts, strive to enter the reserve first, and in the next month and next month, when we inspect the heavy cavalry brigade, the archer brigade and the ranger brigade with excellent soldiers.

After resting for a few hours, Ma Chao began the second round of selection, first of all, the tallest and burliest 1,000 people were selected from the 3,000 people, and they were caught in pairs in the form of lots, and the strength competition was carried out, and the winner entered the heavy cavalry brigade. Although there is a great element of luck (for example, the soldier with the second greatest strength happened to be unlucky enough to draw the first strongest soldier and was eliminated), luck is often part of the strength, and in war, only the luckiest can survive to the end, enjoy the fruits of victory in the war, and get promoted and rich! In addition, Ma Chao adopts the most advanced modern elimination of the last position and the excellent supplement system, as long as the strength is enough, in a few months, sooner or later he will still be able to enter the heavy cavalry brigade! The third brother Ma Tie also easily eliminated the opponent and successfully entered the heavy cavalry brigade!

After the selection of the heavy cavalry brigade, the rest of the selection was simple, the soldiers with the best archery skills entered the archer brigade, the soldiers with the best equestrian skills and the fastest horse control entered the ranger brigade, and finally the remaining nearly 500 people were temporarily in reserve, ready to be replenished at any time.

After a whole day of exhaustion, the selection of soldiers was finally completed, Ma Chao ordered the gang to add food, let the soldiers eat and drink well, and rest well for one night, and tomorrow will start a more intense and cruel officer selection!

With the loud military songs of "We are different" and "We are different", the soldiers began the selection of officers with high morale in the brigade! With a clear selection system, the soldiers did not leave hole cards, and they took out their own kung fu to press the bottom of the box, fighting and fighting in the midst of shouts and cheers!

The selection plan for officers is also very simple, that is, the fight mentioned above. Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second, they are all soldiers in the army, so naturally Wu is the first! Also in the mode of drawing lots, two by two, heads-up, the winner enters the next round. The sword has no eyes, in order not to injure his comrades, weapons are not allowed to be used in the fight, and the final winner in the ranks of ordinary soldiers is the commander of a thousand horses, and the second to eleventh is a hundred cavalry commanders, and so on. Of course, the heavy cavalry brigade had only 500 men, that is, the second to the sixth were the heavy cavalry hundred cavalry commanders; The Ranger Brigade focuses on equestrianism and horse speed control; The cavalry archers focused on horse archery.

After a whole day of fighting, Ma Chao's second brother Ma Xiu won the commander of the thousand cavalry with superb horse control skills and super fast rush speed, and the third brother Ma Tie also lived up to expectations and won the position of the commander of the heavy cavalry with absolute strength! Seeing that the general's second and third brothers also relied on their strength (rather than relying on relationships and backgrounds) to the end step by step, and won the thousand cavalry commanders one by one, all the soldiers were very convinced by this selection; With a level playing field, everyone is full of energy and waiting for the day when they will come out!

The only thing that is not satisfied is the archery cavalry brigade, because Xiliang did not use this type of army on a large scale before, everyone is a little inexperienced in the archers, and there is no selection of a thousand cavalry commanders who can serve the public. For this, Ma Chao is also very helpless, as a modern Ma Chao who has crossed over, he clearly knows the great power and role of the archers, this type of army is indispensable, and it must be trained!

At this time, he thought of the general Pang De, according to the data of the Three Kingdoms 11, the force value of the general Pang De was 91 in 194 AD, and he was a rare fierce general during the Three Kingdoms period, and the force value was only 3 lower than the 18-year-old horse, and there was a stunt "white horse", especially good at cultivating soldiers to ride and shoot! If you can dig up the general Pound to train the archers, there is no doubt that you will get twice the result with half the effort!

According to the data of the Three Kingdoms Chronicles11, when there were disputes and arguments between the civil and military generals during the Three Kingdoms period, the most common solutions were verbal battles and heads-ups. With Ma Chao and the two worlds as the three inches of the tongue, whether it is a tongue battle or a heads-up, there is a certain certainty!

For Pound, Ma Chao intends to adopt the same strategy - knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and not being defeated in a hundred battles! First study Pound's information and personality traits, and then prescribe the right medicine. Pang De, the word Lingming, about the beginning of the peace, defected to Ma Teng's tent. Historically, Pang De made many military exploits in the conquest to pacify the Qiang people. During the Jian'an period, Pang De followed Ma Chao to fight in Pingyang, resisted Yuan generals Guo Yuan and Gao Gan, and personally beheaded Guo Yuan on the horse. When Zhang Bai rode in Hongnong's rebellion, Pang De also participated in the battle. Every time he goes out, he often charges into battle, and bravely crowns the three armies of Liangzhou. After several tosses, he surrendered under Cao Cao with Zhang Lu, was awarded the rank of general of righteousness, sealed the Pavilion Marquis of Guan, and was captured by Guan Yu after flooding the Seventh Army, and was beheaded because he was unwilling to surrender Liu Bei, which is a pity! Luo Guanzhong commented on him: mighty and unyielding, and temperance cannot be changed. He should be born in Jinluan, and he will still be clothed in iron armor when he dies. Fierce husband, famous for thousands of years. Nan'an Pang Lingming, the sun and the moon compete for brilliance! Pang De is indeed a fierce general with a true temperament and righteousness, and he can be of great use in Ma Chao's future career, and he should be his right-hand man!

After Ma Chao analyzed Pound's personality traits and made up his mind, he came to Pound's house.

"Is Pang Degong at home? My little brother is here to visit! ”

"The son is coming to the cold house, and he is not welcome, and I hope to forgive my sins, please come in quickly!" Pang De knew that Ma Chao was young and his martial arts were not under him, and he admired Ma Chao very much and respected him very much!

"The little brother is here to ask for something!" So, Ma Chao simply explained his strategy and ideas to Pound. Pang De is also a famous general in the world, and he was also shocked by Ma Chao's far-sightedness, and was basically persuaded by Ma Chao that he was willing to follow Ma Chao to do an earth-shattering career, and become famous and famous! However, due to Ma Chao's youth, he finally said:

"You and I are all enemies of ten thousand people, so that Ming Jiuwen Gongzi's martial arts are the best in the West, and I am willing to compete with Gongzi to try kung fu immediately, if Gongzi wins Lingming, then everything depends on Gongzi!"

"Okay, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, let's go to the school field to compete!"

I saw Ma Chao riding on the school field with a bright silver spear, a lion helmet and beast belt, silver armor and white robe, a face like a crown of jade, eyes like a meteor, a tiger body and ape arms, a wolf belly, and an eighteen-year-old Ma Chaohao is heroic and extraordinary! Pound is eight feet tall, with a black face and yellow hair, a green robe, a white horse, and the military medium name is "General White Horse", although he is not as handsome as the horse, he also looks majestic and brave!

Ma Chao and Pang De went back and forth in the school field, fought for 300 rounds, regardless of victory or defeat, although the eighteen-year-old Ma Chao's strength was 94 three points higher than Pang De, but after all, the battlefield experience was not as rich as Pang De, and both of them were good at horse kung fu, and they fought evenly and wonderfully, and no one could take anyone; After a long battle, it soon reached the stage of fighting for physical strength. In the end, Ma Chao practiced Xiliang palm since he was a child, and his physical strength was better, only to see Ma Chao stabbed with a shot, Pound hurriedly blocked, the two competed for strength, and fought so hard that his face was red, and finally Ma Chao took Pound's physical strength, swept with a shot, and swept Pound off the horse, Ma Chao quickly got off the horse and helped Pound, Pound knelt down on one knee to Ma Chao:

"Thank you for your mercy! Childe is really a god and a man, brave and invincible in the world, Pound is served, and in the future, Pound's life will be handed over to Childe, and he is willing to sacrifice dogs and horses for Childe! ”

"Brother Lingming, please hurry up, in the future, you and I will fight side by side, work together for the great cause, and never lose each other!"

Ma Chao finally won his first right-hand man after crossing over! With Pang De's help, Ma Chao will be like a tiger, after all, Pang De is a world-famous general, and his comprehensive ability far exceeds that of the second brother Ma Xiu and the third brother Ma Tie, and at the same time, Pang De is also good at riding and shooting, and the archery cavalry brigade finally has the most suitable leader! Ma Chao's peerless cavalry finally has a prototype!
