After listening to Ji Ling's answer, he looked at the soldiers running in circles. Sure enough, there were a lot of people missing. Originally there were almost 2,000 people, but now there are almost only 1,000 left!
As for those who could not persevere, or those who lacked endurance or physical strength, they all took the initiative to pack up their things and leave the military camp.
Of course, some of those who were still running in circles could no longer hold on. They were soaked to the skin and their faces turned red, but they still gritted their teeth and persisted!
Yuan Shu nodded happily, stood up and waved to these soldiers.
"Yeah! Okay, okay, slow down, stop. That's all good..."
Hearing Yuan Shu's signal, some soldiers who had reached their limit but were still gritting their teeth and persisting were relieved and lay on the ground breathing heavily!
"You are all good, where is Ji Ling? Do a roll call and count how many of you persisted.
Where are Yu She, Lu Fang, Mu Hong, Hao Siwen, and Gao Gan? You go to the market and buy some meat, and reward the soldiers tonight!"
Yuan Shu laughed loudly, took out several large gold ingots from his arms, handed them to Yu She and other generals, and arranged for them to buy ingredients!
"Those who can still stand up, gather around me! Those who can't stand up can rest where they are."
After hearing Yuan Shu's order, some soldiers gathered around Yuan Shu and listened to his arrangements!
"This is a test of your willpower. Those who can survive are all soldiers of my Huben Camp.
There will be a series of tests next, and those who can persevere are my soldiers!"
After looking at the soldiers around him, there were almost five hundred of them. Yuan Shu nodded with satisfaction and said slowly
"There aren't many test tasks, just three.
The first item is to carry a 200-pound sandbag and run ten times around the military camp!
The second item is to hold the weapon on the weapon rack and swing it a thousand times with all your strength!
The third item, after completing the first two tests, go to the bathhouse behind the military camp as quickly as possible, wash up, put on armor and run to me to report!
I just want people who can report here before the sun goes down.
Start now!"
Originally he wanted to choose 500 people, but not many could persist in total. With an attitude of preferring nothing to nothing, Yuan Shu arranged three tests for the soldiers to take action immediately.
"Lord! Can any of them persist?"
Yuchi Gong scratched his head, not very optimistic about these soldiers.
"It's okay. We have plenty of time now. Let me see what their abilities are like. Some of them are quite good!"
Regarding the soldiers tested, there are a few Yuan Shu who are quite optimistic about them.
Yuan Shu and others stared at the soldiers undergoing the test. Of course, there were some who couldn't hold on and fell to the ground gasping for breath.
There are almost 300 people who persisted in the first item, and then they looked at the second item!
This second task is not easy. Swinging the weapon with all your strength is not just talk. You are already very tired. You can't even lift the weapon, let alone swing it a thousand times.
Time passed by, and the sun was slowly setting, but the remaining soldiers were still in full swing, waving their weapons, gritting their teeth and holding on even if they lost their energy...
"Bang!"
The soldier who waved his weapon a thousand times appeared, and the soldier quickly rushed to the bathhouse and started bathing. At the same time, his ending also inspired other soldiers, and the swung speed of the inspired soldier's hands became faster.
, the veins in his arms popped out.
"Report to the General! Zhang Ming completed the test!"
"Hmm! Zhang Ming? Yes, yes, first place, I will give you many rewards, General.
Let’s rest nearby first and then have dinner with the generals later.”
This inscription was highly appreciated by Yuan Shu. When arranging for him to rest nearby, Yuan Shu summoned the system to test Zhang Ming's strength!
I didn’t know this was unexpected, and I was shocked when I tested it.
"Ding! Detecting people...please wait."
Zhang Ming has a force value of 97, a command value of 87, an intelligence value of 80, a political value of 65, and a charm value of 87."
"What! Could it be that I saw it wrong? The system will display Zhang Ming's fifth dimension again."
When he first saw Zhang Ming's five dimensions, Yuan Shu couldn't believe it at all and asked the system to display it again.
"Ding! Detect the person——Zhang Ming
Five-dimensional attributes: force value 97, command value 87, intelligence value 80, political value 65, charm value 87
This character is a local figure in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and has not been recorded in historical materials. He may be a talent buried in the long river of history."
After listening to the system's explanation, Yuan Shu nodded with understanding. He didn't expect that he would find such a great talent when he was reorganizing his soldiers today. This was such good luck!
Watching Zhang Ming leave, Yuan Shu couldn't wait to summon the system to test the soldiers who came after him. However, to Yuan Shu's disappointment, none of the soldiers who finished behind him were as good as Zhang Ming, and none even broke 80. Generally speaking,
Around 60-70.
As the sun set, Yuan Shu was already full of soldiers standing in front of him, and he roughly counted them. In the end, the number of soldiers who persisted, including Zhang Ming, totaled 201!
These last soldiers standing will become Yuan Shu's personal soldiers and protect Yuan Shu's life and safety. Even if they die themselves, they must protect Yuan Shu. This is the purpose.
"Yeah! They're all good, everyone has it. Come in, eat a lot of meat tonight, drink a big bowl of wine, and you won't come home until you're drunk."
Yuan Shu is still very satisfied with the fact that more than two hundred people can persevere. These two hundred people will become the most brave troops under Yuan Shu's command!
The food and wine have been prepared for a long time. Yuan Shu gave the order, and all the soldiers cheered and gathered around Yuan Shu in the military tent today.
They sat down one after another, toasted to each other, and feasted. At the same time, they were extremely grateful to Yuan Shu. These soldiers were all born into poor families. How had they ever eaten meat happily? They had never drank fine wine several times!
Yuan Shu sat on the main seat and watched the soldiers below drinking wine happily. He was also very happy, and the relationship between them gradually became closer.
While everyone is still drunk, Yuan Shu arranges important things first!
"First of all! I appoint Zhang Ming as the commander of my personal soldiers, and Dian Wei and Yuan Ji as my personal bodyguards!"
"I will accept the order and will not give up even if I die!"
The three generals put down their wine glasses and accepted their orders.
"Furthermore, today I appoint Lu Fang, Yu She, Hao Siwen, Mu Hong, Zhang Xun, Liu Xun, Qiao Rui and Le Jiu as the Eight Horsemen.
Lu Fang is the leader of the eight cavalry generals!
There is also a Bailian Army, with Chen Dao as the chief general, Yuchi Gong as the martial arts instructor, and Lu Fan as the deputy general and army supervisor to assist Chen Dao.
As for the senior officials and Han Hao, I appoint you as deputy generals of my personal camp to assist Zhang Ming!"
At this point, the development framework of the Huben Army under Yuan Shu has been completed. The next step is to train the soldiers. Training the soldiers does not require Yuan Shu's labor and effort. Yu Chigong and others are enough.
