Chu Li gently hung up the door of the firewood room, he was leaving. There wasn't much luggage, and there wasn't much to worry about.

Chu Li only has two friends in this Fu'an City, Liu Ruier has not seen each other since they separated the day before yesterday, and yesterday he went to the painting boat in the moat to find Lu Bo, and Chu Li used his nine months' salary to settle the debt for him. After all, if Chu Li comes back alive, it will be glory and wealth, wine and beauty. If you die on the battlefield, no amount of money is useless.

The army assembled outside the city gates, and all those who signed their names and printed their handprints must be assembled before the sun sets, otherwise they will be treated as deserters. In Great Qin, there is only one way to deal with deserters, and that is to kill without mercy, unless you and all your relatives escape from the scope of Great Qin's rule, otherwise don't think about getting lucky and still have a way to live.

Chu Li arrived at noon, and there were already more than a thousand people at the gate of the city at this time, except for the ten supervisors from the Iron and Blood Army, the rest were all applicants for this conscription. At this time, the city gate was bustling like a bazaar.

"My name is Li Dazhuang, you can just call me Dazhuang. "In the third shopkeeper of the Lower Star Moon Pavilion, please give me a lot of advice. "My father is a ten-captain in the Iron Army, and you all have to listen to me!"

Because there are no restrictions on conscription, from sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys to thirty-year-old men, as long as you have nothing wrong with your body, can run, jump, and obey orders, there is a place for you in the army.

Chu Li found a stone on the side of the road, and after sitting for a long time, a big man with a long strip of cloth in his hand appeared in front of Chu Li. "Little brother, I'll just say, let's meet again. This big man is also a self-acquaintance, and he sat next to Chu Li, regardless of whether the other party agreed or not.

"Are you?" Chu Li only felt that this big man was familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he was not too impressed. It's no wonder that Chu Li has been a small guy for more than half a year, and he has seen countless people all day, and it is definitely impossible to say that he can recognize all the people in this Fu'an City, but at least a quarter of them have touched their faces.

Dahan didn't think it was strange, but smiled and said, "Xiao Er, you don't recognize me so soon?" Only then did Chu Li remember who the person in front of him was, so he had to hand it over, "Guest officer, you are laughing, I don't know what you call it, guest officer." ”

The big man laughed and waved his hand, "Go, go, this is not Tianyan Tower, and you still call me a guest officer." My name is Lin Hu, a few years older than you, so you can call me Brother Lin. ”

Chu Li saw that Lin Hu's demeanor did not seem to be fake, he was really so heroic, so he put away the shopkeeper's style. "Brother Lin, my name is Chu Li, please help me more in the future, the kid has thanked the eldest brother in advance. ”

Lin Hu still has a good impression of the young man in front of him, and even said, "Little brother laughed, after entering this iron-blooded army, everyone is a brother, what else do brothers say thank you or not, if it is useful to Lin in the future, just say it." ”

"Then the little brother is welcome. Chu Li was really welcome, he had a lot of questions in his stomach, and he happened to meet someone who seemed to understand more, so he had to ask a lot.

"Brother Lin, how many of us are on the expedition in this batch. Chu Li couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that there was already a team of nearly two thousand people at the gate of the city.

"According to the past practice, there can be about 5,000 people to sign up, but it is not certain how many can come, after all, some people would rather disobey the laws of Great Qin than go to that hell. The big man touched his chin, he looked down on those "deserters" very much.

"Five thousand! That's why there was such a tragic battle on the front line, so many people were willing to enlist in the army?" Chu Li was surprised, he thought that this kind of thing had just happened, and it would be very good to have more than 100 people sign up.

"Willing?it's not that they want to, but they have to go!" "Must go?" Chu Li thought thoughtfully.

"How many people are really willing to go to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions and kill the enemy to serve the country, but what if the front line is tight?" Lin Hu showed great disdain for those who were greedy for life and afraid of death, "It is because the King of Qin has a rule for each city, the number of conscripts must not be less than 5,000 at a time, and it doesn't matter if there are 100 deviations, if the number is too small, the head of the metropolitan governor will not be saved." For the sake of their own net worth and lives, the number of people who signed up may be small. ”

Chu Li is a little arrogant, how could he not be the person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, if it wasn't for the fact that he didn't know what happened at the time, the ghost sent the god to sign up, and now he is probably sneering at those fools who rushed to the battlefield.

Seeing that Chu Li didn't speak, Lin Hu seemed to think that his views were similar to his own, so he continued, "Among these five thousand people, in addition to those poor people who were forced to participate, and people with lofty ideals such as me, there are also the attendants of the powerful. ”

"Powerful?" Chu Li couldn't help but blush when he heard the big man in front of him say that he was a man with lofty ideals. "Well, you want the children of those high-ranking officials and nobles, if you want to achieve great achievements, it is nothing more than joining the army and politics. And now that it coincides with the big war, everyone wants to be a character like Jin Sanyang. Lin Hu explained.

Jin Sanyang was a fierce general at the beginning of the founding of the Great Qin, when the first Qin king established the country with two small cities, but surrounded by strong enemies, each of them wanted to swallow this small country that had just been established. No one expected that the first King of Qin would be so fierce, and directly ordered his general Jin Sanyang to lead 50,000 elite soldiers to the nearby Wei State, with no reinforcements and no supplies. When the class returned to the dynasty half a year later, Jin Sanyang brought back the head of the king of Lu and 300,000 troops.

The state of Qin naturally annexed the state of Lu and became a great power with seventeen cities. Jin Sanyang was named the king of the first Qin Dynasty and was awarded two big cities. This is talking about being feudal, not the so-called Dadu Governor, the Dadu Governor is only temporary, the city is still the imperial court, and the position of the Dadu Governor is also often transferred. And the two cities that were given to the king side by side are sent!

Jin Sanyang had no heirs, because after his death, the city returned to the hands of the imperial court. But Jin Sanyang's life, the real one person is below ten thousand people, and it has become the goal that countless people in later generations have been chasing all their lives.

"There may be ambitious people who want to hold the military power in their hands. Lin Hu lowered his voice and looked around vigilantly.

"Those high-ranking officials and nobles sent their children into the army, and naturally they couldn't watch them die on the battlefield in vain. After that, he pouted, "These people think they are here to play, and they will know when they get to the place." ”

Chu Li didn't speak, and the despair he saw at the recruitment office the day before yesterday is still unforgettable.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the crowd ahead, and many people exclaimed and greeted. Chu Li and Lin Hu thought that it was time to gather, and they also squeezed into the crowd. But when I squeezed into the center of the crowd, I realized that there was not a prison army calling names.

In the center of the crowd stood a young man, with a plain white robe embroidered with gold threads, a pair of cloud-piercing boots on his feet, and a long sword hanging from his waist, the hilt and scabbard of the sword were inlaid with gold and jade, all of which showed the wealth and status of the owner. The young man's sword eyebrows were starry, his chin was slightly raised, and he was indescribably arrogant, but it was not disgusting, as if it were taken for granted.

"This is Sun Qihao, the second son of Sun Fengyun, the governor of Fu'an City. Lin Hu whispered in Chu Li's ear. Chu Li suddenly realized that this person, as they just said, wanted to come to the army to be a master.

Chu Li suddenly lost interest in it, and instead paid attention to the guards in plain clothes beside your son. Good guys, all of them have cold faces, and their thin clothes seem to be wrapped in iron, like iron towers, and they know at a glance that they are all good hands with one as ten.

Sun Qihao frowned slightly, he felt Chu Li in the crowd. It's like if you're late to class and the whole class looks up at you, and only one of them looks away, and you see the person looking away.

It was only a moment to frown, Sun Qihao knew that he didn't need to be angry for an inconspicuous little character, after all, the sword has no eyes, and no one knows if he can see the sun tomorrow. And he wants to be a big man.

The noise at the city gate didn't last long, and as the harsh sunlight faded away, the crowd began to quiet down.

"Be quiet!" suddenly shouted loudly, and exploded through the crowd like thunder. "Now the roll call begins!" This time there was a real silence, everyone was silent, and it would be a great injustice to come to the assembly and be recognized as a deserter because they didn't hear their names.

"Liu Guang!", "To!", "Hu Er!", "To!", "Ma Laosan!"... The prison guards spoke very quickly, and every time they called a name, if no one answered for three seconds, they would use a pen to draw a small line on their names, which meant that these people had no place in Great Qin.

"Chu Li!" "Here!" After answering, Chu Li put his mind at ease, for fear that he would miss it as soon as he was distracted.

After a long time, the prison guard seemed to finish reading the list in his hand, handed it to the soldiers behind him, and shouted coldly, "Assemble!"

There was another commotion in the crowd, which was originally a rabble, and at this time they gathered together in a chaotic manner, until a stick of incense was followed by a slightly irregular phalanx.

"Look at you like this. The prison guard sneered with disdain, but no one in the crowd refuted him, even a person as arrogant as Sun Qihao knew that in military affairs, the boss was Wang Fa!

Looking at the last half of the red sun, the prison guard waved his hand, "Let's go!"

Walking forward with the crowd, Chu Li looked back at Fu'an City behind him. The silhouette of the huge city could not be seen clearly in the dim sky, and naturally it was impossible to see the shadows of the people on the city wall, some were sobbing, some were whispering, some were teenagers, some were young girls.

Goodbye, Fu'an City.
