In the evening, Dugu Jialuo selected 5,000 strong men from tens of thousands of Xianbei men. So he sent someone to invite Shi Min over.

Shi Min walked around a few times in front of the formation, glanced at it for a while, and couldn't help frowning.

"Dugu Jialuo, you won't be perfunctory to me, right?"

"Little girl don't dare!" Dugu Jialuo hurriedly bowed his head.

Unexpectedly, Shi Min pointed to those Xianbei people who had been starved and dizzy, with yellow and thin faces, and looked listless, like wilted cucumbers, and sneered: "This is the strong man you picked out for me?" What I need is elite soldiers! Yes, these people look burly and have two strengths, but how can I find out which is better or worse? What if you give me some of the old, weak, sick and disabled to fill up the numbers? ”

You don't know how to look at it yourself?!

Dugu Jialuo complained frantically in his heart, but people are under the eaves, how can they not bow their heads? Shi Min is so excessive, she can't speak out, otherwise her life will be difficult to protect.

"The Metropolitan Governor, the little girl is willing to guarantee her life! They are all my humble warriors! No one is old, weak, sick or disabled! ”

Shi Min sneered: "Your net worth? Dugu Jialuo, your net worth and life are still in my hands, what guarantee can you have? ”

When Dugu Jialuo heard this, he was angry, but he still endured it and did not refute, but calmed down and said: "Since most of the governors don't believe in the little girl, I don't know how you can be sure that these five thousand people are all sharp soldiers?" ”

"Survival of the fittest. In fact, you convinced me that it was very simple, I would take care of the dinner and breakfast of these tens of thousands of Xianbei people, and tomorrow morning, I would have a big martial arts exercise! I will go through layers of competitions, and finally screen out 5,000 sharp soldiers and incorporate them into my Zhao army. ”

"Yes!"

When Shi Min led his team of personal soldiers away, Dugu Jialuo still looked at the back of Shi Min leaving, and was stunned there, stunned, and didn't say a word.

Luo Na then stepped forward and whispered to Dugu Jialuo: "Little master, what does Shi Min mean by doing this?" ”

Hearing this, Dugu Jialuo couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Shi Min's mind is really difficult to figure out. Perhaps, he just regarded our Xianbei people's martial arts as a kind of after-show and a pastime on the march. ”

"Little Lord, what should we do? I have already contacted the manpower, tomorrow the big martial arts, Zhao Jun will give us some weapons, as long as the little master can give an order, we Xianbei people may not be able to escape. ”

"Don't be impulsive." Dugu Jialuo waved his hand and said, "Since Shi Min dares to do this, he naturally won't be afraid of us making trouble." Maybe he Shi Min still wants to find such a reason to kill our Xianbei people cleanly! ”

"Well, well." There was no choice but to sigh and wait to see what had changed.

Early the next morning, Shi Min had the cowhide drums in the army beat, beat the drums to gather the troops, and at the same time gathered the unarmed Xianbei people into an open space.

Facing the uneasy Xianbei people below, Shi Min, who was standing on the high platform, pressed his sword, stood tall, and said in a loud voice: "I am the governor of the Northern Zhao Army, Shi Min!" I'm sure you've all heard of the purpose of this big martial arts exercise! Yes, I want to select the brave men from among you and train a new army of 5,000 men! ”

"After arriving in the hinterland of my Zhao Kingdom, what fate awaits you, I don't think I need to say more, right? I can say unceremoniously that being a soldier of the Great Zhao State and a soldier of Shi Min is definitely much better than being a civilian who has nothing! Now your fate is in your own hands! Whether you can obtain this qualification depends on whether you have the ability to do so! ”

Hearing Shi Min say this, the Xianbei people under the high platform couldn't help but turn their heads and whisper.

Shi Min said again: "I know that you Xianbei people are all people born on horseback, and since you were born, you have been dealing with horses and sheep!" The best rider in the world, no one is the right! Therefore, in order to screen out the sharps among you, select them layer by layer, and survive the fittest, I decided to set up three competitions! ”

"One of them is a horse shooting, two is sumo wrestling, and three are horse fights! I know these are what you Xianbei people are good at! Now I declare that the great martial arts exercise begins! ”

With Shi Min's order, the big martial arts show officially began.

In order to be vigilant against these Xianbei people in turmoil, take the opportunity to escape, or make trouble, Shi Min has already asked people to close the gate of the camp in advance, and at the same time sent heavy troops to guard this place on all sides.

Once they find an escaped Xianbei, they can shoot them with arrows!

This first competition, riding and archery, is naturally what these nomads like the Xianbei people are good at.

But this cavalry archery is to release arrows on a war horse, shoot arrows at a target a hundred paces away, and those who shoot can enter the next competition.

Of course, in order to prevent the Xianbei people from escaping, Shi Min also specially divided these Xianbei people into many batches and many examination rooms for assessment.

The Xianbei people's riding and archery is really good, but there are also good and bad ones, some of them are good at riding, some are good at archery, and those who are proficient in both riding and archery are very good, but there are many people.

In the end, at least 10,000 Xianbei people were brushed down.

Qin Mu, who was beside Shi Min, saw the rumbling sound of horses' hooves like thunder below, accompanied by the billowing smoke and dust, and couldn't help but sigh with admiration: "The Xianbei people's riding and archery skills are really amazing!" Just this ability to ride and shoot, we Han people don't know how much time, how much energy and money to invest, in order to create such a strong army of iron cavalry! ”

"The Xianbei people are indeed good at cavalry and archery, but they are just more outstanding in individual combat ability, and these Xianbei people are not worth mentioning in large-scale team battles." Shi Min pouted.

"Having said that, but Xianbei people can have this bravery, they still have to guard against it!"

When Shi Min heard this, he couldn't help but bow his head slightly: "No matter how brave the Xianbei people are, they are still defeated by our Zhao army." And Qin Mu, this strong army is already ours now, isn't it? ”

"Hehe, Dadu Governor, you really have a good wishful thinking. Dadudu, have you thought about it, what do you think of Da Zhao Tianwang to explain this matter after you go back? Qin Mu said with a faint smile.

Expanding the army without permission is, after all, a forbidden thing.

"I have already told the king, and I received a reply a few days ago, the king has allowed me to supplement the Xianbei people and reorganize a new army."

Hearing this, Qin Mu nodded and said, "That's very good. In this way, I believe that the Great Zhao Heavenly King should be a lot more relieved to the Grand Governor. ”

"Haha, those who know me, Qin Muye!" Shi Min clapped his hands and applauded.

Qin Mu is indeed more aware of Shi Min's flowery intestines.

This time, there were two main reasons why Shi Min had to recruit Xianbei people into his Han army.

First, it goes without saying that the Xianbei people are indeed stronger than the Han cavalry in terms of riding and archery, and even the Hu Lu who have been in the Central Plains for a long time and have been blinded by the Huahua world in the Central Plains are much better.

To train a cavalry, there are many financial and material resources to pay, not to mention that you want to build a strong cavalry army?

Second, as Qin Mu said, the reason why Shi Min had to incorporate the Xianbei people into his army and form this new cavalry army has far-reaching implications.

Not to mention anything else, the Han army in the past was almost in the pocket of Shi Zhan and Shi Min's father and son, except for him Shi Min, Shi Hu, who was the king, might not be able to command the soldiers of the Han army.

Shi Hu naturally hated this, but it was not easy to show it, not to mention that in addition to Shi Min, there were also Yao Yizhong, Pu Hong, Li Nong and other big warlords in the country who had heavy troops and were in a position to keep an eye on them.

As a high-ranking person, Shi Hu naturally wanted to weaken the power of the warlords in various places, and Shi Min, although he was nominally a general of Zuo Jishe, and the Han army under his command was still stationed in the Zhanghe camp in Yecheng, and did not have his own base, but in the Han army, all of them were Han'er.

This is like a time bomb placed next to him, Shi Hu's attitude towards Shi Min is complicated, he wants to kill but is reluctant to kill.

Why?

Because Shi Min is capable and has a very high prestige in the army, now in the Mobei grassland, he broke the Xianbei people in two battles and almost destroyed the country! Therefore, Shi Min's prestige rose with the tide, but with it, Shi Hu's endless suspicions!

Shi Hu is a suspicious person by nature, Shi Min has the ability and prestige, Wen Tao is strategic, all of them are refined, he can be described as a perfect person! It's hard to find any stains on Shi Min's body!

Isn't that scary?

It's scary!

If Shi Min was so pampered and arrogant, maybe Shi Hu had no scruples, but he couldn't find any shortcomings in Shi Min, which made people feel intriguing.

Therefore, Shi Hu has always wanted to arrange people around Shi Min, and the last time, Shi Lanxu was married to Shi Min and the two got married, which meant to warn Shi Min and monitor Shi Min.

What else can Shi Min do?

I can only take a step back and open the sky.

And changing the system of the Han army and recruiting Xianbei people into the Han army is a concession with Shi Hu!

Isn't it very scary for a Han army to be united?
