Half a month later, in the Xiangyang Xiying School Field, more than 100,000 soldiers were all gathered here, looking at Chu Gong Liu Qi standing on the high platform of the school with a look of admiration, waiting for the exciting moment when the other party announced the start of the assessment.
I saw Liu Qi's silver helmet and iron armor, with a handsome and resolute face that could make countless girls fall for him, and said slowly to everyone: "Lone knows that the ranks are all excellent people of my Han Dynasty, you have either experienced life and death on the battlefield, or have undergone strict training on the school field, you have my hot-blooded men in Jingxiang, and there are also Danyang soldiers who are known as the world's elite soldiers, but no matter what your identity, you all come with the same purpose, that is, to become a member of Lone's elite soldiers." Lone first expressed his appreciation for everyone's ambition and welcomed everyone to participate, but Lone made it clear to you that if you want to join the pro-military camp, you must have excellent skills, and you first need to pass the assessment of the military system, and then you can have a chance. ”
At this time, I heard the people below say respectfully: "Qi Chu Gong, the last general Li Zilong, is a sergeant in Xiangyang, since he joined the army, he has watched the army of Chu Gong invincible, especially the personal army under the command of Chu Gong to fight in all directions, invincible and invincible, since then the last general has been looking forward to the opportunity to join Chu Gong's personal army, but unfortunately Chu Gong has not been able to expand the army, but the last general has been preparing for this for six years. In the past six years, the general has worked hard to practice his skills, fought bravely to kill the enemy, and has grown from a small soldier to a Dubo in the army. But the last general still came here today, joining the Chu Gong's personal barracks, the purpose is not for good treatment, nor is it admired by others, but to swear to defend the Duke of Chu, the last general has been practicing hard for six years, and I believe that today will be able to get his wish. ”
After Li Zilong finished speaking. The sergeant below was suddenly touched in his heart, and shouted loudly in unison: "Swear to defend the Duke of Chu to the death." Swear to defend the Duke of Chu to the death. ”
The roar was like thunder, and it shook Xiao Han, not only these soldiers who participated in the selection, but even the soldiers and soldiers around Liu Qi couldn't help shouting loudly. They shouted as they looked up at the gods in their hearts.
He created the myth of being undefeated in the history of the Han Dynasty, whether it was Cao Cao, or the Sun Ce brothers, whether it was Liu Zhang or Liu Bei, no one had ever been able to defeat him.
He created an economic miracle that had never been seen in the history of the Han Dynasty, whether it was the harvest of grain or the abundance of materials, the place he ruled was definitely the richest place in the entire Han Dynasty, even Jiaozhou, which was far away in southern Xinjiang.
He was a great inventor. The ladders that attack the city, the powerful crossbows, and the iron knives that sharpen iron like yours have all created unprecedented history.
Within the scope of his rule, he practiced benevolent government and lightly punished the poor, and the people loved him wholeheartedly. In order to save people's labor, although he called the founding of the country, Xiangyang, the center of the Chu State, did not even have a decent palace. The place where he lives is still the original Zhennan General's Mansion, and even an ordinary state assassin under Cao Cao is probably more gorgeous than this.
He led his troops to fight for six years. Every time I go out to the army, I eat with the soldiers, and I never do anything special. It's not that they haven't seen a general who eats with soldiers in Dahan, but they have been eating with soldiers for six years, which is absolutely unique.
He fostered agriculture, developed commerce, greatly promoted education, invented printing, and he ordered the establishment of hospitals in various places, benefiting countless people, and also recruiting people to cultivate the fields, and the land rent he collected was nearly seventy percent less than Cao Cao's military tun and mintun, so that countless displaced people fled from Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Qingzhou to his rule, forcing Cao Cao to reduce taxes......
The soldiers don't care who is the Son of Heaven, they only care who is good to themselves, who is good to their fellow villagers, who can make the people well-fed, warmly clothed, and comfortable, and who can make themselves walk in the streets and alleys with more face, so they all regard Liu Qi as a god-like being, as a person who can be loyal to him with his life.
Therefore, when all the soldiers issued the words "swear to protect Chu Gong to the death", they were all from the heart!
And Liu Qi, the Duke of Chu whom they swore to defend to the death, after hearing their heartfelt supportive words, in addition to being moved, a tear had already quietly slipped down his cheeks......
But Liu Qi was not hypocritical, but continued to say in a low voice: "Presumably, the listed soldiers are already clear about the assessment standards of the military pawn system, and here I will reiterate again, the assessment standards are: wearing three layers of armor, wearing an iron helmet on the head, a sword at the waist, carrying a spear on the shoulder, a crossbow of ten stones, fifty arrows, carrying dry food for three days, and being able to travel a hundred miles in half a day." Those who can do it will stay, and those who can't do it will have to go back. This assessment is in charge of your future commander, General Zhang Tong, and the rankings are clear? ”
"I'll wait for everything to be clear, please start with Duke Chu." All the soldiers looked solemn, although some looked thin and overwhelmed, and some looked like Ben was not good at running around, but they still looked firm and full of determination, gritting their teeth and being more energetic, this time they had to pass the examination anyway.
Liu Qi saw that there was no problem with the soldiers, so he said solemnly: "That being the case, Gu announced that the selection process for Gu's second pro-soldier team, Xiao Weijun, will now begin. First of all, General Zhang Tong, the commander of the Xiaowei Army, announced the list of lieutenants and the grouping of sergeants......"
Then Zhang Tong came to the stage and announced the next arrangements to the sergeants with a solemn face, and the sergeants saw that although Zhang Tong and the Duke of Chu were not the same, they were also majestic and square, which made people can't help but be convinced, so they didn't dare to slack off.
"First of all, the assessment of the first team, there are a total of 1,000 of you, today's goal is to wear standard equipment, from here to run to Zhonglu a hundred miles away, from a quarter of an hour later, those who arrive within three hours are qualified, here will be a warning first, from now on to Zhonglu along the way there are special people to supervise, if anyone dares to cheat, directly eliminated, even your current military position will be canceled, if it is an ordinary sergeant, directly dismissed back to the hometown, soldiers, as the pro-soldier of Chu Gong is glorious, But what we need first is sincerity, if you lose even this point, then even an ordinary person is not as good, how can you be worthy of becoming the most loyal and brave soldier of Chu Gong? ”
Zhang Tong solemnly said a few words of encouragement to the first team, and then ordered the flag soldiers to give an order and officially started the first round of investigation.
As the drums sounded, I saw thousands of people wearing armor, carrying dry food, carrying sharp swords, spears, crossbows, and arrows, running towards Zhonglu like a tide.
Soon after the drum sounded, a herald sent the names of the soldiers and the time of departure to the examiner in Zhonglu.
Liu Qi also slowly rode to Zhonglu and personally watched the soldiers arrive at the finish line.
Three hours later, nearly 200 soldiers arrived on time, which made Liu Qi overjoyed, because it meant that these sergeants would be recruited into the most loyal and brave team of soldiers under his command, becoming the sharpest guards in the world.
Originally, he wanted to name this team the Modao team directly, but after thinking about it, he felt that this would expose his secret weapon, so he changed it to the Xiao Guard.
Half an hour later, the second wave of 1,000 sergeant assessments also had results, but this time it was only about 100 people.
Liu Qi knew that although the sergeants under his command were elite, they were still some distance from the requirements of the martial arts system, unless they were particularly outstanding talents, the proportion that could have today was not low, even if it was such a ratio, I am afraid that there are few people in the world.
After a short time, one of the examiners pointed to two of the sergeants and said, "You are the first batch, half an hour later than the assessment standard, and you are suspected of fraud, just wait for the military law to deal with it." ”
The faces of the two soldiers suddenly turned pale, and they gasped and said: "My lord, we didn't want to pass the test in a fool's way, but the brother in charge of greeting us pushed us here, in fact, the main purpose of our coming here is to insist on running the whole distance, and we have no intention of passing the test in a fool's way." ”
"You mean, it's not your fault at all, it's our sergeant's problem? Hehe, if you weren't lucky, how could you insist on finishing the whole race knowing that the hour was coming, and it happened to be the second batch of sergeants? Tell me, isn't this trying to fool around? Seeing that the two sergeants were silent, the examiner immediately shouted: "Come on, take down these two violators of military discipline and send them to the military justice department for disposal." ”
At this moment, a voice was suddenly heard saying, "Slow." ”
"Who are you to interfere with the assessment...... Ah, the last general will see the Duke of Chu. The examiner just wanted to say something, but suddenly found that the person who stopped him turned out to be Liu Qi, the Duke of Chu, and hurriedly stepped forward to pay a visit.
Liu Qi nodded, patted the examiner's shoulder with a smile, and then walked up to the two sergeants and said with a smile: "What are the names of you two?" ”
The two sergeants hurriedly saluted Liu Qi, one of them said: "The last general's name is Ding Feng, a native of Lujiang, Yangzhou, this is my friend, named Wen Qin, a native of Peiguo County, the two of us originally belonged to the command of Yangzhou Xu Thorn Shi, and later were transferred to Danyang to guard, I heard that Chu Gong wanted to recruit pro-soldiers, so we came to sign up, although we were fully prepared, but we didn't expect to be half an hour late in the end, and happened to arrive at the same time as the second batch of sergeants, which caused a misunderstanding of the examiner, but we really didn't mean to fool through, And just with a breath in my heart, I felt that we had to insist on running the whole course no matter what, but no matter what, we did look like we were suspected of getting through the test, and asked Chu Gong to punish him, and we had no complaints. ”
"What? Ding Bong and Wen Qin? When Liu Qi heard these two names, he couldn't help but be shocked, and carefully examined the two sergeants.
