Chapter Forty-Nine: The White-robed General Joins the Army Chen Qingzhi's Advice

In the conscription office, Hua Rong and Wang Yanzhang, who went to the conscription under the order of General Xu Jue, are strictly checking and carefully selecting soldiers, and Xu Ju has the principle of 'three non-collections' for conscription: those who have elders in the family will not be accepted, those who have only children in the family will not be accepted, and those who are weak and sick will not be accepted, so the efficiency of conscription is a bit low, but the recruits are all carefree and strong people, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

Recently, Xu Jue also came to check it personally, because he knew that there would be a strange person to vote for him in this recruitment, and he would probably miss it if he didn't check it.

As always, only a few dozen people were recruited in the morning, and there was no one waiting for Xu Jue.

In the afternoon, even fewer people came to join the army, and the three of them were idle, talking and laughing, which was also a way to pass the boring time.

Just when the three of them were absent-mindedly talking nonsense, Hua Rong, who was a marksman, saw a person riding a yellow horse from a distance, staggering, as if he was coming this way, so he pointed to the person suspiciously: "Lord, this person seems to be intending to join the army?" But how ......"

Wang Yanzhang Xu Qi looked in the direction pointed by Hua Rong, and saw a man in white riding a skinny yellow horse, coming this way, Xu Qi saw this horse and immediately knew the identity of this person, Wang Yanzhang sneered: "General Hua, the lord has an order, the weak and sick will not be accepted, even if this person is in good health, but no matter how you look at it, he looks like a scholar who has no power to restrain the chicken!" ”

Hua Rong nodded and smiled: "People haven't come yet, you refuse, and look at it, people can't look good." ”

In a moment, this person came to the three of them, closed his eyes on the horse and shook his head: "I heard that Chaisang Xu Qi is quite talented, and now that he is conscripted, I intend to join the army, I don't know if I can take it in?" The tone is very casual, as if he doesn't take joining the army seriously.

Wang Yanzhang didn't have a good impression of this person, and he was even more angry when he saw this: "This gentleman, I'm sorry, please look here." As he spoke, he pointed to a sign on the side of his hand.

The man opened one eye after hearing this, and continued to close his eyes after reading the sign: "I have no elders in my family, and I have no children. ”

Wang Yanzhang Huarong looked at each other, speechless at this person's casual appearance, although Xu Jue had already clarified the identity of this person at this time, he didn't say anything, just watched quietly on the side.

"Do you want to take it!" Seeing that the two were silent, this person couldn't hold his breath anymore, and actually opened his eyes to question Wang Yanzhang and Hua Rong.

Wang Yanzhang snorted coldly: "Hmph! Let me ask you what your name is. ”

The man said, "Chen Qingzhi! Xu Jue was secretly happy when he heard this, it was really him!

"Well, you said that your body is okay, but you are not good at martial arts, then I will see how good your body is!"

After that, he asked, "How far can you go on foot?" How many squats and what is the arm strength? ”

Chen Qingzhi opened his mouth and said: "It's not a problem to walk five miles on foot, but I haven't tried squats." "As soon as I finished speaking, I started squatting.

Wang Yanzhang counted, and finally Chen Qingzhi squatted more than fifty.

Wang Yanzhang and Hua Rong looked at each other and nodded, indicating that Chen Qingzhi's physical fitness was still passable.

Then he pointed to several stone piers on the ground and said: "These stone piers are thirty catties, fifty catties, eighty catties, and one hundred catties from left to right, you see which one you can move." ”

Chen Qingzhi began to show his strength, rolled up his sleeves and began to move thirty catties, but the result was unexpected, he could only move thirty catties, and only moved some fifty catties, but he couldn't move.

Seeing this, Wang Yanzhang immediately mocked: "Sure enough, the strength is insufficient, and it can't match ordinary men at all." ”

Chen Qingzhi was anxious when he saw this, but he obviously had no confidence: "I just don't have enough strength, but it should be no problem to join the army, right?" ”

Wang Yanzhang snorted coldly, took a sword, and handed it to Chen Qingzhi: "Those who join the army must master at least one kind of short soldier, you can try." ”

The latter shook his head: "I won't use this sword." ”

Wang Yanzhang snorted coldly again, and took a short knife again: "Can you make this knife?" If you can't make it, what kind of soldier are you! ”

Chen Qingyi suddenly opened his eyes when he heard this, and said loudly: "Why not?" Then he turned over and dismounted, and took the knife.

Xu Jue finally saw Chen Qingzhi's full appearance: seven feet tall, with a delicate face, fair skin, willow eyebrows, hanging horned eyes, if it weren't for a few strands of beard on his chin, he would look a little like a woman.

Chen Qingzhi took the knife in his hand and weighed it, gesturing, but he didn't use it.

Wang Yanzhang smiled on the side: "Why don't you make it?" Is it posturing? ”

Chen Qingzhi then said: "Isn't the knife just chopping!" But what's the point of slashing at the air. ”

Wang Yanzhang smiled dumbly and pointed to the tree stump in the distance: "You go and try to chop and see if you can split it." ”

Chen Qingzhi went forward with a big knife, came to the stump, and slashed it with momentum, more than an inch into the wood, but he couldn't pull it out, and he was in a hurry, and his forehead was sweaty.

Wang Yanzhang laughed and said: "If you are so powerless, I'm afraid you won't be able to kill people even if you go to the battlefield, right?" ”

Chen Qingzhi said: "Then I can also be an archer!" ”

At this time, Hua Rong spoke: "This brother, being an archer is more demanding than ordinary soldiers, first of all, it requires years of practice, and secondly, the arm strength is even more demanding, otherwise the arrow can only take ten steps, and the shot can't be hit, and even if it is hit, it can't penetrate the armor, won't it become a joke?" ”

Chen Qingzhi listened and said: "This general is good at talking, but you don't care about it, take a bow and try it with me!" ”

Hua Rong smiled bitterly and handed over a bow, Chen Qingzhi pulled it hard, but he couldn't open it at all, and suddenly scolded anxiously: "Good man!" I'm just a good talker, but I don't want to fool me with a dead bow! ”

Hua Rong smiled bitterly again: "Your Excellency misunderstood, this bow is an ordinary short bow, ordinary people can pull it away with more force, but you ......"

Chen Qingyi looked incredulous: "Then you try?" As he spoke, he returned it to Hua Rong.

Hua Rong had no choice but to make a demonstration, pulling five full in a row, and Chen Qingzhi, who was watching, was messy in the wind and was speechless for a while.

Xu Qi also pursed his lips and smiled lightly: Sure enough, he is a Confucian who has no power to restrain chickens.

Wang Yanzhang said with a smile: "You are powerless, how to join the army, you better go home."

Just when Chen Qingzhi was scratching his ears and cheeks urgently, Xu Jue came out and interrupted: "This gentleman, I see that your horse is quite peculiar, I don't know what the name of this horse is?" ”

Chen Qingzhi didn't answer immediately when he heard this, but looked Xu Qi up and down, and saw that he had an extraordinary appearance, a righteous face, and seemed harmless, so he replied: "This horse is called 'Yellow Horse', also known as 'Yuding Licorice Yellow', also known as 'Penetrating Bone Dragon'." ”

Xu Jue smiled in his heart and didn't make a sound. Wang Yanzhang snorted coldly on the side: "Don't wait for me to not know the horse, the yellow horse is a famous horse in the west, the foot strength is outstanding, and the most important thing is that there is white hair on its forehead like a full moon, which is called the jade top, and because it is no matter how it is raised, the two ribs are always prominent, so it is named 'Bone Dragon', and your horse has no eyes and no white hair on the forehead, but the belly is protruding abnormally, just like a pregnant sick horse, dare to fool me and say that this horse is a yellow horse!" ”

Chen Qingzhi was also anxious: "How do I know so much? I only think that the one with a yellow mane and protruding ribs is a yellow horse, and when I see that this horse is similar in appearance, I will assume that it is a yellow horse. ”

Wang Yanzhang sneered: "Could it be that you are a thief?" Stealing this horse and coming to join the army as a way to avoid search? ”

Xu Jue almost rolled his eyes when he heard this, he was speechless for a while, and thought to himself: Lao Wang is from the fifth generation, Lao Chen is from the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the two of them can't fight together, how can they be like enemies in the previous life?

came forward to mediate and began to show his nonsense skills: "Yesterday I secretly made a hexagram, and the hexagram shows that there will be a great wise and resourceful person to join the army today, presumably it must be Your Excellency, right?" After saying this, his face did not change, he really bragged and did not make a draft.

As soon as these words came out, Wang Yanzhang and Hua Rong opened their mouths in shock, looking at the weak man in front of them who had almost always closed his eyes, how could he not look like he had great wisdom, Wang Yanzhang smiled disdainfully: "Lord, do you say that he is wise and resourceful?" Why can't I see it? ”

Chen Qingzhi also looked at Xu Jue with a shocked face at this time: he thought that he originally wanted to join the army, find an opportunity to contact Xu Jue, and then put forward his opinion to let Xu Jue look down on himself, so as to become a general; Although he felt that this person had an extraordinary appearance, he didn't want it to be Xu Jue, so he hurriedly changed his appearance and arched his hand: "It turns out that Your Excellency is Xu Jue Xu Boyu, and you are polite!" ”

Xu Jue smiled: "No need to be polite, I just saw it, you are indeed powerless, even so, you very much want to join the army, which shows that you have the ability; And you keep your eyes closed, whoever closes your eyes, either the confident or the talented; And when you open your eyes, I see in your eyes an extraordinary look, an indomitable spirit, and I ask you now, are you confident and know strategy? ”

Chen Qingzhi was taken aback again, and did not answer, but knelt down: "General Xu is really not an ordinary person, not only does he not judge people by his appearance, but he also knows people, he is really the master!" ”

Xu Qi laughed loudly: "Sir, let me ask you, what should I do with those who do not worship under the holy decree of Emperor Han?" ”

Chen Qingzhi replied without thinking: "Cut it." ”

Xu Jue nodded, and asked again: "But our army is now only 15,000 troops, and there are only more than 2,000 war horses, which can be described as a serious lack of strength, and the rest of the princes have at least 20,000 troops in their hands. ”

Chen Qingzhi shook his head and sighed: "No, no, no!" ”

Xu Qi, Wang Yanzhang, and Hua Rong were puzzled: "No? Why? ”

Chen Qingzhi laughed: "General Xu, since the troops are insufficient, why do you only know how to cut them down?" Now that the Han Emperor is here, there are still millions of heroes! ”

Xu Jue probably knew what it meant, but he still asked, "I am ignorant, please explain in detail." ”

Wang Yanzhang Huarong was puzzled when he saw Xu Qi groveling, but he didn't have much to do, and watched from the sidelines.

Chen Qingyi came together: "Those who don't obey the edict should indeed be killed, but in the next place, I think that there are many people who don't obey the edict, yes or no?" ”

Xu Qi nodded.

Chen Qingzhi smiled: "If you kill them one by one, will the troops be enough?" Got a lot of time? Will the rest of those who do not obey the edict sit back and wait for death, so that there will be no sense of crisis? In my opinion, the small ones will fight each other, and the big ones will join forces to resist the enemy, and then you will die and I will not know! ”

Xu Jue suddenly had a flash of inspiration and whispered: "Sir is saying that those who do not obey the edict will fight each other?" ”

Chen Qingzhi opened his eyes and smiled slightly: "Exactly!" ”
