"Very well, you are all good, and I am very happy with you! Keep up the good work! Wen Yuan smiled and quieted them down, and said, "Then I'll ask the brothers who are empty-handed and haven't received the reward, such a result, you... Convincing!? ”

"Unconvinced...... nearly 2,000 people shouted loosely, only a few shouted loudly, and most of the answers were weak.

Wen Yuan smiled disappreliantly and said: "Don't be discouraged, I want to tell you that this time, it's just the beginning, the opportunity is today!" ”

Wen Yuan's words made many people's eyes shine again, and they began to gasp, their fists clenched tightly, and they looked feverishly in the direction of the high platform.

After a pause, Wen Yuan walked up to a young man who had not received rice grain, his tiger eyes widened, and he said in a condensed voice: "Now I will ask you again, this time I didn't get rice grain, are you convinced?" ”

"I ...... Defy! That man had long been jealous of the others who had gotten the last time, and at this moment, when he saw the general looking at him, he only felt that a stagnant breath in his chest seemed to be about to erupt, and he choked his throat and shouted hoarsely!

Wen Yuan nodded lightly, and his sharp gaze swept towards everyone again: "What about you?" You guys... Convincing? ”

Nearly 2,000 young men who had not been rewarded were completely aroused: the ghost cried wolf, and cried out: "Unconvinced! ”

"You ...... Do you want to pick up your face that you have lost on the ground? ”

"Yes!"

Wen Yuan applauded and said, "Very good, I also remember your words!" Perhaps before today, you might have thought that what I promised you was a lie, but now you have all seen that my army will be punished for its mistakes, and rewards will be rewarded for its merits! If I fail this time, I won't look down on you, but if I fail next time, even you will look down on yourself. If it's a man, just stand up for me, and if it's a man, just stand with my head held high! ”

"Yes......!"

Wen Yuan then shouted: "I announce that the second round of selection starts now!" The rewards for the first 1,000 people are still the same, and they are still guided by my subordinate guards all the way, and the end point is in Nanpi, Bohai County! But this time I want to tell you, from Ye to Julu, it is only more than 200 miles! And this section of the road is nearly 600 miles! Only 10 days of dry food will be distributed per person! Those who do not arrive in eight days are all in the baggage team, and those who are less than ten days are unqualified, and they all return to their hometowns, so they don't have to come to see me again!! ”

"Whoa!" More than 1,900 men howled like hungry wolves, and no one cared about the harsh conditions.

"Distribute dry food! Let's go! Wen Yuan shouted and left the scene proudly.

Julu is just the first stop of Wenyuan's recruit training, in his plan, the next places to arrive are Bohai, Hejian, and Anping! He wants his troops to step on every inch of land in Jizhou in this month, and finally return here, leaving Wen Yuan will not have the slightest regret, and those who can withstand the test of this cruel forced march will definitely be able to become an iron army in the future!

Behind the scenes, the open jaw that was still puzzled by Wen Yuan's treatment of the soldiers showed admiration, these two thousand young and strong, one by one the wildness has been brought out by Wen Yuan, as long as a little training in the future, and then take it to the battlefield to hone it, see the blood, and soon it will be a screaming elite soldier! It turns out that soldiers can still practice like this!

Twenty days later.

Smoke and dust billowed on the official road leading to Julu in Hejian County, Jizhou, and a team of more than 1,000 people was speeding westward.

It is not appropriate to say that it is a gallop, because the speed is at least comparable to that of ordinary people trotting, you must know that although it is already August at this time, the sun is still vicious, but this way trotting, more than 1,000 people are not red and breathless, but it is really surprising.

If this team is an army, these more than 1,000 people are wearing patches and patches of shabby linen clothes, no armor, no weapons, unkempt, but if it is not an army, although it is worn in tatters, but the spirit is very strong, look at the appearance of this army, the queue, and there are dozens of cavalry cruising on both sides of the team, and it is unacceptable.

That's right, this is the group of young people who came back from the training in the river, and it is also the strong army that Wen Yuan hopes to establish!

"Brethren! Doing your best! According to the footsteps, we will be able to rush to the city of Xiaquyang before dark, and when we arrive in Xiaquyang, we can be regarded as home, the brothers of the baggage team have already prepared fragrant meals for us, as well as boiling hot water, adults have orders, back to Xiaquyang City, everyone eats happily, sleeps happily! Riding a horse on the side of the brigade, he shouted at the top of his throat with Zhang Yu, and the more than 1,000 people were in high spirits, and suddenly there was a wolf howl!

"yes, it's almost over." Wen Yuan also smiled with emotion, he had been practicing in the wild for nearly a month, and he really hadn't eaten a full meal, and he had a good night's sleep. The person has lost a lot of weight, how could he have suffered this kind of foreign crime before, but fortunately, seeing that he is about to reach the final end, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief at this time.

Compared with these hardships, Wenyuan's harvest is also very rich, after three rounds of marathon selection, a total of 1,228 people were finally qualified, and after elimination, the number of people who entered the baggage team reached 1,521. In addition to the first round of selection of unqualified more than 1,000 people, the last two times from Julu to Bohai County to Nanpi, from Nanpi to Hejian County Zhilecheng, the distance is farther, the time is tighter, but only more than 200 people did not arrive at the destination on time!

Now these young and strong, especially the 1,228 people who will become soldiers, have been nourished by three meals and a full meal on the first day of January, all of them are full of energy, ruddy complexion, and they have inexhaustible strength all over their bodies, and the foot distance is even faster and amazing, and they can travel hundreds of miles a day in a normal hurry, and if they run wildly, they can even run out of 200 miles in one day and one night!

Especially at the front of the team, Zhang Nanjiao touched these two, Wen Yuan took the horse slowly, and Wen Yuance and the horse were slow, and the two of them walked quickly, always following Wen Yuan a few steps behind, which made Wen Yuan funny and angry.

Wen Yuan squinted his eyes and thought, these two guys have some real skills, three times they trained, they won the first place twice, and there was no shortage of rewards for wine, food, money and rice, Wen Yuan was ready to return to Xiaquyang after the army, so that the two of them each received a tun, and after they were familiar with the army, they were slowly promoted.

Speaking of the whole army, Wen Yuan had read Qi Jiguang's military books "The Actual Record of Military Training" and "The New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" several times in his previous life, although he only read it a few times, but he was deeply convinced of the views expounded in it, and after mentioning some along the way and discussing with Zhang Jaw, it was decided to use the results of the three selections as the basis, the third class of the generals is nine points, and the third class is the upper, middle, and lower third class, and the third class is divided into ten, hundred, and thousand, and one to ten is the upper and gets three points, and the eleven to one hundred is the middle and gets two points, and the one hundred and one to the thousand is the lower and gets one point, and after the thousand, no points are awarded.

In this way, the scores of the three rounds are added upper, the nine points are the upper class, the eight points are the upper class, the seven points are the upper class, and so on, and then there are ten categories of middle and upper, middle, medium and lower, lower and lower, lower and lower, and those who are not qualified.

According to statistics, according to this division, there is no one who has reached the top nine points! Zhang Nanjiao touched the third round because he only got the twelfth and fifteenth places, which is a fraction of a centimeter away from the top of the top! There are fifteen people in the middle of eight points, and eighty-three people in seven points, these are the team that Wen Yuan thinks will become the backbone of the army in the future.

At the beginning of the new army, the promotion of the backbone of the army can still be urgent, but at present, the most urgent thing is the lack of civil servants, more than 2,000 people to eat, wear, live and travel is not a simple matter, money and food consumption, document registration is indispensable to read and write, people who are proficient in arithmetic, at the beginning Wen Yuan and Zhang Jaw were barely able to take care of it, but in the blink of an eye, more than a month, the two of them were in a hurry, each of them lost weight for a circle, and it was really unreasonable to drag it on. asked casually: "Zhang Nan, the two of you have lived in Julu for the past few years, do you know anyone who can read and count?" ”

After getting along in January, Zhang Nanjiao and the two of them already had a general understanding of Wen Yuan's temper, and knew that this lord had a good temper, and he was as kind as his own brother, and only when dealing with business, he occasionally showed the majesty of the lord.

So Jiao Touch hurriedly replied: "Then how can you not have it, the fortune teller at the entrance of our alley, that is a university question, I know astronomy, I know geography, I know fortune telling, and I know fortune telling, and it is very effective." ”

Zhang Nan pushed him and scolded: "Get out of the way, you kid actually broke up, and Chen Laoliu's trick at the entrance of the alley can fool people like you!" ”

"Oh!" Wen Yuan let out a disappointed sigh and bowed his head silently.

Zhang Nan then said: "If you want to talk about capable people, we really have one in Ren County, I heard that this adult raised Maocai in the early years, and was a big official in Luoyang City, and later resigned and returned to his hometown because he offended the eunuch, two years ago, Jizhou Han Envoy Jun asked him to be an official, and then I don't know who he offended, and he has been living at home. ”

"Oh? What is this person's name? Wen Yuan was moved to solicit as soon as he heard it, listening to what Zhang Nan said, this literati has a lot of origins, maybe he is a person with a surname in the Three Kingdoms, but he first offended the eunuch and offended Han Fu, this person's temper is very stinky.

Zhang Nan thought for a while and said: "The surname is Tian, it seems to be called Tian Feng or what kind of land, I don't know very well, or send fish to his family to listen to what the people in his house say." ”

"Tian Feng!? Tian Yuanhao? Wen Yuan's body was shocked, and he almost fell off the horse in surprise.
