Sun Chengzong and his entourage left the capital and went to Liaodong immediately, but at this time, a large number of soldiers came from the opposite direction towards the capital.

Li Jiancheng's previous 'one in a hundred miles', the will to check the quality of soldiers in all parts of the world has only spread to the entire Ming Dynasty in the past two months, and this news may not be earlier for all places than when I heard that the Ming Dynasty changed the emperor.

This is also because once the ancient battle line is lengthened, there will be command loopholes everywhere, and the transmission of information is too slow, and there is no way to do it.

For example, at this time, in a certain unit in Liaodong, a sergeant named Zuo Liangyu was now called back to the military tent by his commander. (Zuo Liangyu, a famous general in the late Ming Dynasty.) His parents died when he was young, and he was raised by his uncle. He was tall and burly, powerful and powerful, and was called "the red-faced man" by the villagers when he became an adult. Zuo Liangyu did not go to school, but he practiced martial arts since he was a child, especially good at drawing a bow and archery, and he was very skilled in opening the bow left and right. After becoming an adult, Zuo Liangyu joined the army and served in the Liaodong Ming Army outside Shanhaiguan. Because of his bravery and resourcefulness, he was soon promoted to officer. Later, he fought with Liaodong and the Qing army, and was promoted by Hou Sui for his brave and good fighting. Later, in the war to suppress the peasant rebel army, he continued to expand his troops, was promoted to the rank of commander, and became more and more arrogant and domineering, supporting the army and self-respecting, and was a person with personal ambitions. ）

Zuo Liangyu came to the military tent and came to meet his commander, and Zuo Liangyu came in and saluted. This commander of his is a big man with a rough face, and it can be seen that he is a person with a bold spirit. As soon as he saw Zuo Liangyu and Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled: "Ha Lu Ha, Liangyu." Didn't I tell you? No need to be polite, we are all rough people, where do we need so many curves. Come, come, come and sit. It just so happens that this beef bone broth has been stewed, come and eat, eat. Don't be polite to Lao Tzu. ”

Zuo Liangyu listened to his words and really didn't sit down politely to eat, his attitude made the general Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laugh, he also picked up the wine jug to pour wine for Zuo Liangyu, he said as he poured: "Liangyu, you have been a personal soldier by my side for two years, Lao Tzu just values your boy's courage, and he is not afraid of death when he fights." There have always been many wars in our military land, and Dazi soldiers are even more ferocious, you kid is more ruthless than Dazi soldiers, and he has come over with a knife licking blood all the way, which even Lao Tzu admires. ”

Zuo Liangyu listened to his commander's words, and he smiled: "Why did the general suddenly say this!" ”

The general just waved his hand and smiled and said, "Hehe, no, I just suddenly feel old!" ”

Zuo Liangyu said: "The general said that he was laughing, how can the general be said to be old when he is upright and in his prime." ”

After Zuo Liangyu's words were finished, he only heard his commander say: "It's good if that's really the case!" When I was young, I didn't have the opportunity to be as good as you are now, and people are not young at the right time! ”

The chief suddenly said such a thing, Zuo Liangyu didn't understand, he, the chief, has rarely been so emotional, never mother-in-law, but still so heroic, and now suddenly Wen Crepe, and asked: "What did the general say?" ”

When the general heard his words, he suddenly put on a very serious expression and said to Zuo Liangyu: "Liangyu, you tell me honestly, if there is a chance to ascend to the sky in one step, but you have to give up all your current positions and achievements. With your current merits, you may be able to become a guerrilla in two years, but this opportunity to ascend to the sky is rare! Once you do it, it's not just a small guerrilla, it can be said to be a world of difference. You answer me honestly, are you willing to pursue such an opportunity? ”

Zuo Liangyu was stunned by the chief's words, he didn't understand why his chief would say this, Zuo Liangyu asked, "Is this ...... This, Liangyu is stupid, what does this general's words mean? ”

The general didn't answer him, he just continued to ask: "You said that there is such an opportunity to ascend to the sky in front of you, but you need to give up everything you have now, are you willing or unwilling to pursue this opportunity!" Do you want to do it? ”

Zuo Liangyu was stunned by his commander's question once, he thought for a long time and didn't speak, and then the general said again: "Okay! I'm going to see you wrong, you pleasure-hungry bastard. ”

Zuo Liangyu, who was in the prime of life, could be stimulated by the chief, and he spoke on the spot: "General, whether my Zuo Liangyu is a bad breed or not, the general knows better than anyone else. Even if the general has said everything, then I will dig out my heart. To tell the truth, if there is such an opportunity, I will never be nostalgic for my current position, isn't it just for such a chance to get ahead when I Zuo Liangyu went to the battlefield and died? I have the courage to die on the battlefield, how can I let go of this kind of opportunity, not to mention that I am not a guerrilla now, even if I am willing to give up, just like the general said, I am still young, and I have opportunities. ”

Zuo Liangyu's words made the general Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laugh, and he said: "Okay, good, Lao Tzu really didn't see the wrong person. From now on, you are not Lao Tzu's personal soldier, you have been removed from Lao Tzu, you are a big soldier, and your opportunity has come. ”

After the general finished speaking, he took out a letter and read the contents to Zuo Liangyu, which was written with the news that the emperor wanted to survey the quality of the soldiers in the world. Zuo Liangyu was shocked when he heard this: "The general wants me to go to the capital to participate in the census, this is the opportunity that the general said?" ”

The general nodded and said: "Well, to tell you the truth, this census is not simple, the total number of soldiers transferred from the country this time is about 20,000 people, from the emperor's order, you should be able to see that these soldiers who are sent back to the capital will not be bad, and they will be the strongest elite in the country." ”

But Zuo Liangyu listened and said: "But my subordinates still don't understand what the opportunity is that the general said." ”

The general smiled and said to him: "Do you know what you want to do in this election, don't you want officers, just soldiers?" ”

Zuo Liangyu shook his head, and the general said: "This matter is because the emperor has set up a new army of about 30,000 people in the capital, and this new army has no officers at all. And when the soldiers from all over the country have arrived, and after participating in the competition, they will directly join this new army, and this army has no officers at all, just to select officers from this army from scratch, until the commander of this army appears. That is to say, if you are the commander of this army, you can have an elite army of 50,000 people for nothing, and there is also the Son of Heaven's own army, you say that this is not an opportunity to ascend to the sky, so Lao Tzu removed you, and if Lao Tzu is still young, Lao Tzu even evacuated himself, and he went. ”

Zuo Liangyu was shocked by his chief's words, this matter was actually like this, Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but feel a little short of breath: "This ...... General, is this true? ”

The general said: "Of course it's true, there are still people in the entire border army who don't know what to do, I have demoted my son to a big soldier, can this not be true?" ”

The last sentence really made Zuo Liangyu speechless, I am afraid that this matter is also something that he Li Jiancheng expected, and there will definitely be no fewer generals in the world who will do the same thing as this general.

"If it's really as the general said, then it's definitely not easy to be a general. These 20,000 soldiers from all over the world are a big hurdle, and they will really be one in a hundred warriors. Zuo Liangyu said.

When the general heard this, he laughed and said, "How else would he be called the first general in the world?" You kid don't think that pies can really fall from the sky, if that's really the case, how can you open your mouth to take it? No matter how difficult this thing is, this is a fair opportunity for those who go, this kind of thing is unavoidable, young man, you should cherish this opportunity. This is a general, that is the general who has always been a tiger and wolf division. With such a unit, you are afraid that there will be no chance to get ahead in the future, it depends on whether you kid dares to teach the heroes of this world. ”

Zuo Liangyu seemed to be a little enthusiastic when he heard this, in such an era, what it lacked most was a fair opportunity. Now that there is such an opportunity and heroes from all over the world to go together, how could Zuo Liangyu, as a future general with ideals and ambitions, not have the heart to compete for the best? Zuo Liangyu said: "The general is right, there is no first, there is no second, whether it is for a general or a soldier, I Zuo Liangyu is willing to go and see it, and meet these strongest soldiers in the world." ”

When the general heard his words, he patted him on the shoulder three times with a smile and said, "Okay, you must have such courage, whether it is for a soldier or a general, you must have the courage to fight." Alas, my generation of sergeants is no better than those literati who dance and write, and it is not easy for them to get ahead, so I hope you can take advantage of this opportunity. You are not as bad as my bastard boy, he can't compare with you, I sent him to the capital to avoid the battlefield, the land of Liaodong is getting worse and worse now, even Xiong Jingluo has been removed, I really don't know what the court thinks. Alas, don't talk about this, I'm just such a son, but that bastard boy is not as good as you, I just hope that when you get ahead, don't forget to bring my child with you. ”

Zuo Liangyu listened to his words as a general, but he felt that they were the words of the commander. He also said with some red eyes: "Yes, the subordinates must take care of Xiao Sheng and not forget the general's kindness today." ”

The general continued to pat Zuo Liangyu on the shoulder and said, "I'm relieved to have you say this."

The same thing is also playing out in various places, and the general Man Gui in the late Ming Dynasty, who has almost the same development history as Zuo Liangyu, almost encountered such a situation. All in all, heroic soldiers and future famous generals from all over the country are flocking to the capital, and the arrival of these people will definitely greatly surprise him Li Jiancheng.
