According to the principle of recruiting troops to join oneself, the Anxi Army set up two recruiting sites in Mei County, one in the south and north of the city. Early in the morning, a long lineup was formed in front of the two recruiting sites.

Li Qing'an attached great importance to this recruitment. After seeing Yang Huahua away, he came to the recruitment site to inspect the recruitment situation, accompanied by the magistrate Zhang County of Mei County. The recruitment site was located next to the gate of the south of the city. It was made of three large tables. A school captain led seven or eight soldiers to recruit. In addition, a local scholar was invited to register. The recruitment process was also very simple. First, we should observe the main purpose of whether we had disabilities and whether we did not meet the minimum standards of the Anxi Army. For example, we were very thin and had a thin body. Of course, those who were particularly thin could be used as surprise soldiers, but we were not recruited here.

The second is the physical fitness test. There are several stone locks next to it, weighing at least 30 kilograms. As long as you can lift three times in a row, you will be considered qualified. Finally, you will register your name and household registration, etc. In fact, there are some restrictions, such as brothers cannot join the army at the same time, fugitives cannot join the army, and unnaturalized Hu people cannot join the army, etc., but in actual operations, recruiters will be relaxed. For example, a Hu person with infinite strength, even if he is an unnaturalized, he will be recruited to the army. As for brothers and fugitives, it is even more difficult.

At this time, the recruitment points were particularly lively. More than a dozen big men applying for the recruitment were trying to lift stone locks. There were three kinds of stone locks, one was thirty kilograms, one was fifty kilograms, and the other was 100 kilograms. Li Qing'an stood by and watched with great interest. The lieutenant in charge of recruitment saw that the general was coming and hurriedly came over to see the greeting. Li Qing'an's personal soldiers waved his hand to him, asking him not to alarm others. At this time, a big man eight feet tall was trying to lift a big stone lock weighing a hundred kilograms. He heard his roar, his face turned red, and he raised the big stone lock high, "boom!" and put it down again. He roared again, lifting the stone lock over his head again. Those who can lift a hundred kilograms of stone lock three times will at least be a fire leader after joining the army. If the bow and horse are skilled, they can be directly appointed as the commander of the team or the commander of the brigade. This is the rule of the Anxi Army. Everything depends on his ability and military merits to obtain promotion.

The big man raised his hand three times in one breath, which aroused the surprise of the applicants around him. Seeing that he seemed to have enough strength, Li Qingan laughed loudly and said, "Can you still have the ability to bow and horse?"

Seeing that Li Qingan was young and wearing the clothes of an ordinary officer, the man thought he was an ordinary officer, he smiled proudly and said, "I was originally a Longyou soldier, if I don't?"

Seeing that he was rude and was about to scold him, Li Qingan waved his hand and smiled and said, "Okay, take a horse and then take a bow and arrow! How many stone bows do you use?"

"I can dig a five-stone hard bow right away."

"Okay! Come with a five-stone hard bow."

A personal soldier brought a war horse and brought a pair of five-stone hard bows, but the personal soldier was more careful and gave only three arrows and broke the arrow. When the big man saw the war horse, his eyes lit up. Li Qing'an's personal soldiers' horses were all pure Arab war horses, tall and majestic, extraordinary. The big man had never seen it before, and had an envious look in his eyes. Li Qing'an smiled slightly. He already knew that this big man must be a Longyou soldier. Only when the soldiers saw the horse would he have such eyes. The big man turned on his horse and ran around the circle. The horse was extremely skillful. Li Qing'an nodded secretly. This big man was not an ordinary soldier, at least an officer like a famous school captain. He just didn't know why he did not follow Geshuhan and flow into the people. If he was a deserter, it would be a little trouble.

At this time, the big man shouted loudly, and an arrow shot at the grass man target hanging on the tree fifty steps away. The arrow was in the center of the wood. Although there was no arrow, it was strong and it still shot through the grass man with one arrow. The soldiers around him applauded and cheered. The big man slowly came to Li Qing'an and turned over and dismounted. He caressed the war horse with love and suddenly asked, "How can I ride such a war horse?"

Li Qingan smiled slightly and said, "First of all, join the cavalry, and secondly, you must kill more than 50 enemies to get the reward of riding a big horse."

The man was eager to love horses and immediately responded: "Then I am willing to join the cavalry."

Li Qingan smiled and said, "Then tell me first, what is your name and why did you leave the Longyou Army?"

The Han sighed for a while and said, "I'm called Yue Ning, the captain of the Shenwu Army of Longyou. Ten days ago, General Geshu transferred us to the east, but when we arrived at Fengxiang, we learned that the Longyou Army had gone to Hanzhong and no longer returned to Longyou. Longyou had been taken over by the Anxi Army, so we had nowhere to go. Yesterday, he received the order from General Geshu and ordered us to disband on the spot. My general was ready to go to Beijing to surrender to General Anbaoyu of the Yulin Army, but I don't want to be the emperor's guard. My general allowed me to join the army again and entered Ji County. I happened to see the Anxi Army recruiting troops, so I wanted to give it a try."

Li Qing'an nodded. The Shenwu Army was the former Shibao City. He immediately had a good impression of the Longyou Army Captain, and then smiled and said, "What's your general's name?"

"My general is Li Sheng, a famous general of the Divine Arrow in Longyou."

Li Qingan was stunned. Li Sheng, he knew that the most famous general in the mid-Tang Dynasty could be compared with Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi. Such a powerful general, Brother Shu Han, was abandoned like a mustard. He hurriedly asked, "Then where is your general now?"

"We took a boat to pass by Mei County one hour ago, and the big ship should be not far from here."

Li Qing'an immediately ordered: "Everyone gets on the horse and go chase after me."

His five hundred personal guards were on the horse one after another. At this time, Li Qingan saw Yue Ning standing there stupidly at a loss, and said, "If you take me to catch up with your general, I will give you a big food horse?"

Yue Ning's face changed, he took two steps back, and asked sternly: "Who are you? What are you going to pursue my general?"

Seeing that he had misunderstood, Li Qingan smiled and said, "Since you are in Shibao City, do you know if Li Qingan?"

Yue Ning stood there on the spot. Why didn't he know Li Qing'an? He led 3,000 people to intercept nearly 100,000 Tubo army's crazy offensive. The war was fierce, and 3,000 people were almost wiped out. Tubo Zanpu was also killed in the battle. The war was always praised by the Longyou Army, and Li Qing'an became a mythical figure. Yue Ning himself went to the battlefield at that time to see it. The bones are still there. Is this person in front of him Li Qing'an? The King of Anxi.

Li Qingan said again: "Get on your horse and follow me to chase your general. I will use your general as the general."
