Chapter 22: Mulan

Yang Xiong and Liu Bang fought fiercely in Quyuxi, and the 30,000 Qin army fought against the anti-Qin coalition army with 60,000 people, and Yang Xiong was lured into the encirclement by Liu Bang, and the situation was critical.

Liu Bang didn't know that Li Yuan was not in Yang Xiong's army, according to the situation found by Liu Jun's scouts, Li Yuan should also be in the army after meeting with Yang Xiong, but he didn't want Li Yuan to make a temporary decision, and led his headquarters to guard the Baima Ferry, Liu Bang's soldiers were attacking like a tide, regardless of life and death, which surprised the Qin army.

Not to mention the battle between Yang and Liu for the time being, as soon as the soldiers of Li Yuan led his headquarters arrived at Baimadu, they began preparations for the reorganization of the army without stopping.

Yang Xiong's Qin army logistics supply line currently has two, Yaojiajin is the main one, and there is a backup line is Baimadu, out of concern about Yang Xiong's defeat, Li Yuan quickly ordered the requisition of ships and materials near Baima, in case of emergency, at the same time, the quota of 2,000 people led by the commander Since Yang Xiong has promised, in line with the intention of being able to have one more liliang is a liliang, Li Yuan set up a temporary recruitment agency in Baima to recruit soldiers who signed up for the army.

Recruitment, the first in the Spring and Autumn period of the famous general Wu Qi, he simply recruited good materials, instead of the traditional form of conscription to form the first special elite force of the countries - military soldiers. The standard of a warrior is quite strict, and the basic conditions are: wearing three sets of armor, a bow that can draw twelve stones, carrying an instrument that can hold fifty arrows, carrying a helmet on his shoulder, a sharp sword on his waist, and carrying three days of dry food and traveling a hundred miles in half a day.

Li Yuan's main purpose now is to fill the shortage of soldiers in preparation for the fierce battle that may come soon, therefore, the standard of recruitment will not be as strict as Wu Qi, besides, although the area of Sanchuan County has been conquered by the Qin State for many years, after all, it was originally subordinate to Korea, and Li Yuan is not sure how much recognition the people here have for the Qin army.

Hakubadu.

It is only 30 miles away from Xingyang City, and due to the developed transportation and the gathering of businessmen, the entertainment businesses such as restaurants and excellent restaurants are also relatively developed.

On the second day when Li Yuan needed to recruit soldiers, a person who was unexpected and reasonable for Li Yuan also came to Baima, and the way she chose to approach Li Yuan was so unexpected.

Zhou Xing, who is responsible for recruiting new soldiers, has been very depressed in the past two days, Wang Shang, Zhou Xing, and Gan Houbo are all military marquis, this time Li Yuan ordered the recruitment, and they are also holding back their strength to be higher than one, Wang Shangyou has the deeds of killing Fan Xu, and he is handsome, plus he can speak, Wang Shangbu's number of applicants is the largest, and Gan Houbo's honest and honest appearance is enough to make people feel that they will not suffer under Gan Junhou, and the recruits who signed up to him are not few, only Zhou Xing, with an ordinary appearance, and there is no place for deeds to publicize, And he doesn't like to talk much, so it's difficult for this soldier to be recruited.

"Gu Yun, a native of Xingyang, eighteen years old, signed up as a foot soldier and is good at fencing." Just when Zhou Xing was depressed, a young man with a small stature and a white face like jade came to Zhou's registration office.

"If you're good at fencing, you dare to try it on the spot." Zhou Xing came to be interested, compared with Wang Shang and Gan Houbo, there is nothing attractive about his recruitment method, this time he heard that the new boy was good at fencing, Zhou Xing's eyes suddenly lit up, isn't the fencing competition the most exciting trick to make people watch?

The young man's good-looking eyebrows raised slightly, and he smiled: "Why not, but the sword has no eyes, we use bamboo as a sword, how about the point?" ”

Zhou Xing was only thinking about how to attract people to come at this time, and where to take care of other things, so he responded: "It's so good, come here, take the bamboo sword." ”

Zhou Xing's swordsmanship is decent in the Qin army, slightly inferior to Wang Shang, and a little stronger than Gan Houbo, since becoming a military marquis, Zhou Xing is still very concerned about his command ability and personal martial arts, after all, he finally has a chance to come out from the bottom, if he is suppressed because he doesn't work hard, then there will be no chance to turn over.

If the grassroots want to get ahead, it is very important to follow the right people, you follow a hereditary second generation of martial arts and the third generation of martial arts, then don't think about what promotion and wealth, why, there will be a lot of Hakka people, when to hand it over, a sentence can wipe out all your efforts. And now, Li Yuan is also from the grassroots, Zhou Xing has not seen Li Yuan and which party Shili is involved in so far, and the people promoted by Li Yuan also pay more attention to ability, basically do not look at qualifications, which makes Zhou Xing very moved, which is also the reason why he wants to be with Wang Shang and Gan Houbo.

Everyone eats according to their abilities, this is the true nature of a man.

At the beginning of a bamboo sword competition, Zhou Xing was quite cautious, and he did not rush to attack because of his identity, but Gu Yun rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward with a sword unceremoniously, looking at his figure and pace are extremely skilled, I think he has been immersed in swordsmanship for many years, the two sides come and go, that is, they are fighting in one place, what makes Zhou Xing more and more surprised is that this Gu Yun's swordsmanship is very good, not only has a variety of moves, dazzling, but also has exquisite moves, and some sword moves have graceful postures, which makes people can't help but feel dazzled.

In a moment, the two had already fought together, Gu Yun, the young man, was able to fight with Zhou Xing inextricably, looking at his momentum in the field, he was still faintly on the offensive, which made the onlookers suddenly excited, and even Wang Shang and Gan Houbo heard the wind and ran over to watch the battle.

"Lao Zhou, work hard, don't lose your brother's face!" Wang Shang's face turned red and shouted vigorously to cheer for Zhou Xing.

"This young man is good, he is both handsome and capable, I don't know which little lady has such a blessing." In the crowd watching the battle, the gossipy lady has already begun to take stock of the resources in her hands.

Zhou Xing at this time, but he couldn't say it, the bamboo sword is different from the actual bronze sword, the bamboo is light, and the requirements for the fencer's liliang are not high, and this competition has stated that the point is up, so it is not advisable to fight for life with life.

At this point, Zhou Xing also understood, he fell into this Gu Yun's trap at the beginning, what is just a competition to point with a bamboo sword, it is simply to contain Zhou Xing's liliang, in case he is desperate, and Gu Yun's strengths are more vividly exerted because of the lightness of the bamboo sword.

"Cunning boy!" Zhou Xing secretly complained in his heart, but he couldn't think of a way to deal with it for a while, so he could only find an opportunity to fight with his strength, touching the bamboo sword with a bamboo sword, hoping to rely on the shock of his wrist to make Gu Yun fearful.

The crowd gathered more and more, and Li Yuan, accompanied by Luo Jia, a personal soldier and cavalry general, also happened to come to inspect the recruitment situation at this time, and when he saw Zhou Xing fighting with people, he couldn't help but stop and watch.

"Captain, this kid who competes with Zhou Junhou is not bad, my personal soldiers are still short of manpower, can I add it first." Luo Jia stared at Gu Yun and clapped his hands enviously, unable to hold back the surprise in his heart.

"Boy, well, this little - the son is really good, but it's not appropriate to put it in the pro-soldier tun, let Lao Zhou take it first!" Li Yuan's eyes swept over Gu Yun, and he said with a deep groan.

"But!" Luo Jia still had to insist, trying to make Li Yuan change his mind.

"The military order is like a mountain, it cannot be changed, after the competition of Zhou Junhou, let him come to see me." Li Yuan said that, and immediately turned around and left.

Others can't see it really, for Li Yuan, who has seen countless vacuums, perspectives, cross-dressing, and even naked pictures of women on the Internet, this Gu Yun can tell at a glance whether he is a man or a woman.

A woman, to pretend to be a man to blend into the barracks, is the purpose of weishenme, is it possible to be another Mulan in the army, how is this possible, the biggest difference between recruitment and conscription is that one is voluntary, the other is compulsory, there is no compulsory constraint, what is the purpose of this Gu Yunlai Li Yuan's army? Before figuring out the truth, Li Yuan didn't want to put such a dangerous figure in the pro-soldier camp around him.
