Sun Ce stood on the stage with his hands, looked at the recruited soldiers who were demonstrating martial arts under the city, and sighed lightly.

The folk customs in Runan are very weak, and there are many people coming to apply for the recruitment, but not many people can pass the assessment, and their morale is not as high as those famous men who challenge him. However, it is useless to be able to make jokes. These people are too far from the standards of elites. When they go to the battlefield, they are cannon fodder, which is a waste of food.

After the recruitment order was issued, many people came to apply for the recruitment. He set three goals: for the world, for the countryside, and for himself. It is comprehensive. There is always one suitable for you, so it does not constitute any obstacle. There will always be no one who can even lie. He said directly that I just wanted to rob and make a fortune.

However, it is not easy to think that Sun Ce’s subordinates are in the army. The assessment standards are not only high, but also almost perverted.

Sun Ce asked Dian Wei and Qin Mu to be examiners, Dian Wei was responsible for recruiting infantrymen, and Qin Mu was responsible for recruiting knights. He could pass two moves with Yi Congying Yi Congying and was unbeaten, and he could enter Yi Congying. If his martial arts skills were good and he could defeat one or two Yi Congying, he would compete with Dian Wei, regardless of the winner, he would be appointed as the sergeant, or the sergeant. If he could persist for more than five moves, he would be directly appointed as the garrison commander. If you have the ability to defeat Dian Wei, then the Yi Congying and the Commander will be yours.

Unfortunately, so far, only more than 100 people have been barely selected as the Yi Cong Camp, seven are the commanders of the squads, three are the commanders of the villages, and Dian Wei is so idle that he almost falls asleep.

Qin Mu's side was similar. After a few days of trial, only more than 30 people were barely selected as knights. Three defeated one knight and immediately became the commander. Most people could ride on the horse and wave a ring knife and slash a few times.

Qiao Rui was very anxious. He felt that Sun Ce's standard was too strict. This was not recruiting soldiers, but slapping the people of Runan in the face. After humiliating Xu Shao with words, he used force to humiliate the entire people of Runan in a purely impulse. But he dared not say it, so he could only remind Sun Ce indirectly.

Sun Ce admitted that slapping in the face was a fact, but he did not think it was an act of impulse. He had his plans.

The situation in Chang'an is not yet determined. He can roughly guess what tricks Wang Yun will do, but he has no idea which one will be. Yuzhou is indeed very strong, but the strategic situation is obviously not as good as Jingzhou. If he had to give up one, he would rather give up Yuzhou than give up Jingzhou. In this case, why recruit so many soldiers? Raising soldiers costs money, and what he lacks the most now is money. He would rather recruit less and supplement the personal guard camp and Yicongying, than recruit such a scattered person at once.

If he wanted ordinary soldiers, would he have to work so much? The Yellow Turbans are in Runan, and he can bring in a team of 10,000 or 20,000 people in a minute. In the past two days, Wu Ba, the commander of the Yellow Turbans who stayed in Runan, had sent someone to contact him and planned to come to Pingyu to join him. With Liu Pi, Gong Du and others in front of the demonstration, the Yellow Turbans had a very good impression of Sun Ce, so they were waiting to join Sun Ce to divide the land.

In addition to the Runan Yellow Turban, there are also the Qingzhou Yellow Turban. Although no one has come to contact us yet, Sun Ce believes that without Cao Cao, some of the million Qingzhou Yellow Turbans will fall into his hands. He has sent Zhu Zhi a message to inquire about the situation and will have a reply soon.

With Runan and Qingzhou Yellow Turbans as strong as the Yellow Turbans, the military strength has never been a problem for him. It is obvious that the Yellow Turbans with combat experience are always better than recruiting ordinary people. What he wants is elite, generals with potential to command troops, rather than ordinary soldiers.

At this time, a sudden noise came from Qin Mu. Sun Ce was shocked, exchanged a look with Qiao Rui, and turned around and looked northwest at the same time. From a high point, they could take care of two schoolyards at the same time.

On the school field, a white-robed knight was racing, pulling his bow and shooting, shooting three arrows in one breath. The winner who was responsible for reporting the results raised the triangular flag in his hand and waved it hard to show that all three arrows were on the target, one of which hit the swan, that is, the bull's eye. Sun Ce was a little surprised. Although the distance was not very far, it was not easy to shoot the bull's eye on the speeding war horse. This man's riding and shooting was good, and he was considered the best among the personal guards, mainly Qiang cavalry.

Qiao Rui clapped his hands excitedly. "General, a warrior finally appeared."

"No hurry." Sun Ce was also very satisfied, but he was not as excited as Qiao Rui. It is rare to have both riding and shooting skills, especially for Runan people, but the test shooting in the school field is a test shooting after all, and it is still possible to perform well on the battlefield. Even if he is good at riding and shooting skills like Lu Bu, he is just a fighting general. What he wants is not just a fighting general. Qin Mu is loyal, but his ability is limited, so he needs a more qualified personal guard cavalry general.

After two round trips, the knight shot a total of twelve arrows and ten arrows were on the target. This score was considered excellent. If you count the shots with one arrow, your riding and shooting skills were definitely excellent and he had already left Qin Mu far behind.

A personal guard knight rode his horse off the stage and shouted loudly: "General, there is a warrior who is good at riding and shooting, so I want to see the general."

"See me?" Sun Ce was very surprised. Logically, after the test, the riding and shooting did not wait for the end. He also had to test long soldiers such as spear and halberd and ring swords to see how close combat was capable. Only after all the tests were done can we come to see him.

"Yes, he asked for a first sighting general, otherwise he would not try again."

Sun Ce nodded. "Let him come."

The knight of the personal guard drove away and soon led the knight to come again. Qin Mu also followed him and bowed to the audience, with joy and a little uneasy in his eyes. The knight raised his head, looked at Sun Ce, and bowed slightly to salute.

"Runan Chen Zhi, I have met General Sun."

Sun Ce was happy. Chen Dao, it was you. He bowed his head and said, "Chen Jun is superb in archery skills, and it is really rare. It should not be difficult to pass the assessment. What does it mean to see me?"

"Chen Dao dares to ask the general to take the school exam himself."

"Rareless!" Qiao Rui was furious. "Since you come to join the army, you should know that the military law is strict, and the only one who violates the law is a knife and axe."

Chen Dao raised his head, bowed his hands, his eyes were bright and bright. He just looked at Sun Ce and ignored Qiao Rui, as if Qiao Rui did not exist at all. He was in his early twenties, with a handsome face, and a helmet on his head, but a military man with a white lacquered iron armor on his body and a white cloak, and he had a sense of dust. He had no smile or anger in his eyes, but he just looked at Sun Ce calmly.

Sun Ce raised his hand and signaled Qiao Rui not to hurry. He also realized that Chen Dao was here to challenge him rather than to apply for the recruitment.

"You are here to challenge me?"

"I heard that General Sun had excellent martial arts skills. He defeated Xiliang Jingqi in Nanyang and had duel with Zhang Liao, a warrior in Bingzhou. Ruying was called a place of etiquette and was not known for his martial arts. Chen Dao was lucky and had some martial arts skills. He was willing to show off with the general."

"Defend?" Sun Ce smiled. "Decide the winner or the death?"
