Chapter 19 War is not child's play
For this young man who was smart but changed to martial arts, the hundred officials of Bianliang City and many martial arts children knew that Zhao Xiaoxi's martial arts were good. Coupled with the family of military generals who love to practice martial arts since childhood, and are slightly famous in the capital, the second son of this prince has come to seek advice. Later, for this reason, he went to Shaolin Temple, the holy land of martial arts, to learn martial arts.
Except for the last time I saw this county king's skills in Hewei Lou was very good, many people didn't know how high this county king's martial arts were. So much so that many of the arrogant children of the Wuxun family were somewhat unconvinced by this county king who was younger than them as the chief examiner, thinking that he was also good at paying lip service.
Now seeing that this county king is full of might, he first carried the dragon flag and wore armor to run a distance farther than them, and without taking a breath, he put many people, and the two hundred catties of stone locks that didn't even dare to try, came more than a dozen times as if carrying cotton in one hand. In the end, they staged a magic archery skill.
Looking at Zhao Xiaoxi, who was sitting on the horse and looked calm, everyone present was shocked, even Zhao Xu, who knew that his strength was much stronger than several guards with knives in the palace. For the first time, I felt that a person who was so good at archery could reach such a level of divine archery. If this goes to war in the future, doesn't this archery skill refer to that shooting?
I thought that Zhao Xiaoxi said that as long as he was given a few years, the new army he formed would completely solve the harassment of those border nomads, so that they would not dare to take a step beyond the Song Dynasty. Sit back and wait for the opportunity to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun in one fell swoop, so that his father's unfulfilled wish will become a reality in his hands.
'Good! The King of Yunjun is mighty! ’
Even the saint said that Zhao Xiaoxi was mighty, for the officers and soldiers in the forbidden army, as well as for these martial artists who participated in the competition. Isn't it because you join the army to practice martial arts, can you have such skills one day? In an instant, there was a tsunami-like sound from the forbidden military academy, and Zhao Xiaoxi, who was sitting on the horse with a calm face, also sighed that he had almost overdone it.
If it weren't for his profound internal skills, this type of ironman pentathlon that he had played in his previous life without taking a breath would be a bit choking. Fortunately, this pretending to be B was successful, and there was this shocking performance. I believe that no one will think that he is young enough to be incompetent, and he is about to go to the post of Chengdu Daojiedu envoy!
As Zhao Xiaoxi asked Zhao Xu for instructions to carry out the fifth martial arts assessment, everyone felt a little strange. It's not that the assessment items are too cruel, but in the eyes of civil and military officials, this assessment doesn't seem to be much different from being an improper military attaché!
The content of the assessment is very simple, that is, the people participating in the assessment stand in a military posture. To see who lasts the longest, the last hundred will also be taken. Those who dare to be lazy during the assessment period will be disqualified immediately.
After announcing the fifth endurance test, Zhao Xiaoxi said calmly: "Maybe in your opinion, standing is an easy thing. But remember, you are always standing in this position, and you are not allowed to make any small movements. This seemingly inconspicuous military posture is a manifestation of whether an army can order and prohibit military discipline.
In the case of the Praetorian Army's shieldmen, once on the battlefield, they will stand facing the enemy's cavalry and archers. If you can't even stand, how can you protect the spearmen who need their shield defense. Even life can't be guaranteed, so what can we talk about fighting back? Remember, this is a test of your endurance, and you will be ranked last in the hundredth. Begin! ”
After a little explanation like this, the generals naturally nodded their heads when they listened, and the civil officials felt that there was nothing tiring about standing like this? Soon they realized that they were wrong, and even they felt hot when they sat under the scaffolding, let alone these warriors who were standing under the sun and being roasted.
As some people began to be lazy, Zhao Xiaoxi, who was also standing in front of them and still wearing armor, unceremoniously ordered the forbidden army to drag them away and cancel their qualifications. The first four times to advance to the final round of martial arts competitions, I don't think it's a big deal. But those who did not squeeze into the top 100 in the first four times were disqualified, but this time they completely lost the opportunity to participate in the competition.
In the face of the military attachés of the forbidden army, who also dragged them away mercilessly, these warriors realized what they had lost. Looked depressed and returned to a place where there was shade and drinking water. But they sat here, and they didn't feel comfortable at all. Because they are losers, they will completely lose this great opportunity for promotion.
Understand that in front of this condescending county king, it is best not to be lazy with luck, otherwise those who leave with a sad face will be their end. Except for some martial artists who have a chance to advance to the next round, they really can't stand it and start to quit voluntarily, the rest of the martial artists who have not yet qualified for the promotion just gritted their teeth and persisted.
When the time was close to an hour, the first martial disciple who stood directly and fell appeared, and soon there was a forbidden army that had been reminded in advance. Move them to a shady place, untie their necklines, and give them salt water. But after waking up, these people saw that there were more than a hundred martial artists above, and they knew that they had lost the chance to advance in the end.
With the first martial artist to fall, soon there will be the second one to fall, some martial artists who themselves have persevered to the limit. was hit by the fall of the martial artist, and he also fell straight down. This kind of scene that looks a little tragic makes the hundreds of officials and forbidden soldiers who are watching not feel that these people are losers. After all, they held out to their limits.
Seeing that there were only a hundred people left in the field, Zhao Xiaoxi said: "Disband, and the rest will advance to the final competitive competition." ”
As soon as these words came out, except for dozens of martial artists who could still move freely, the rest of the martial artists no longer had consciousness. As soon as I heard about the promotion, the breath in my heart was relieved, like a tree blown down by a strong wind. One by one, they fell straight down. Let the forbidden army waiting next to him also start to be busy.
Fortunately, as the forbidden army moved these people to a cool place, according to the method taught by Zhao Xiaoxi in advance, these warriors soon woke up. When they learned that they had finally advanced to the final of the competition, they also knew that they finally had a chance to show off their skills.
Wait until Cho Hyo-seok gathers them again and announces the warriors who have been given the official position of Chunghunlang one round ahead of schedule. In addition, there are more than 300 people in Jinsui, and the remaining nearly two-thirds of the martial artists have been completely eliminated.
To the surprise of many people, after announcing the list of people who were promoted, Zhao Xiaoxi looked at those martial artists who persisted until they fainted in the fifth round: "This king knows that many of you will feel that this kind of assessment is unfair, but just imagine it."
As a martial artist, he can't enter a hundred in the four aspects of physical strength, strength, archery, and endurance. What qualifications do you have to enter the final round to win the military attache position?
Remember, this king once again emphasized that this time it was the military attaché and not the military pawn who was selected. In addition, the king decided that the last round of warriors who persevered until they fainted would be given the official position of Chengjielang from the ninth rank by the king himself. Although your strength is not good now, you can have this kind of temperament that you will not give up until the end, and this king likes it very much, because this is the temper that you should have.
I'd rather die standing than live on my knees! This is the backbone that a warrior should have. However, you still don't have a chance to participate in the challenge of the last 100 military attachés, but you have a chance to fight alongside this king in the future. Therefore, whether you accept the king's invitation or not depends on your own decision. ”
The few martial artists who stood up just now and were completely dizzy, as soon as they heard that they had the opportunity to join the new army and become a Chengjielang from the ninth grade, they naturally would not refuse such an invitation. Because they all knew that as long as they could join this new army, it meant that they could become the emperor's pro-army. This kind of opportunity to get close to the Holy Lord, a few martial artists who participated in this competition will miss it!
Let these warriors who have mixed joys and sorrows go to the military attache of the forbidden army to register, when Zhao Xiaoxi can leave the capital after getting the imperial order. Then they can also follow Cho Hyo-seok to their posts together and train hard to form that new army.
Perhaps seeing the shame and regret on the faces of many martial artists, Zhao Xiaoxi said seriously: "This king knows that you all have a loyal and patriotic heart, but there are only so many opportunities. This king does not want to pay with his life for opening up to you today and letting you go to war in the future.
Today this is just an assessment, and if you fail, you can at least do it again. If it says that the king leads you to the battlefield, but because your strength is not enough to do everything on the battlefield, then what awaits you is not only death, but also the shadow of defeat for your soldiers. Failure is not terrible, after all, you are still young.
What I'm afraid of is that if you lose an enterprising heart, then your life is completely hopeless. If you can't choose this year, you will continue to work hard next year. As long as the new army does not go to the battlefield, you all have a chance to be selected.
Only then will the selection become more harsh. Only through the selection and hard training in the barracks can this king protect and bring you to the battlefield, and he can bring more people back. This king does not want to see it, because a moment of kindness will make you pay with your lives for the carelessness of the present. Please remember that war is not child's play!
Today is the end of the assessment, and tomorrow the competition will select the last hundred saints to confer military attachés. Martial artists who are qualified to advance to the final round, I hope you can rest well and strive to show your style again tomorrow. As for those who were eliminated today, you can also come in tomorrow and watch the game to see how you are worse than those who have advanced. ”
Leaving aside these last words, Zhao Xiaoxi handed over the registered promotion roster to Zhao Xu to see, which recorded the family background of these promotioners in detail. For this reason, Zhao Xu also feels that this kind of fair, just and open selection will also make those civil and military officials, princes and nobles have nothing to say!
As a saint, he encouraged the warriors a few words, and at the same time, he also asked him to prepare well for the night of promotion, and strive to achieve good results tomorrow. After saying this, he quickly returned to the palace with the same deeply touched civil and military officials and princes and nobles, waiting for the arrival of the final martial arts competition tomorrow.
