In the autumn mountains, a maroon horse galloped freely.
The man on horseback is majestic and majestic, waving the whip in mid-air as if reluctant to let it fall.
The horse and its owner seemed to cherish each other. You could feel the owner's pity and ran even faster. Not far away, several people dressed as sergeants were talking to each other, and their words were full of compliments and admiration for the man on the horse.
After the man rode his horse around the plains, he stopped in front of a few people.
The middle-aged man at the head stepped forward to hold the horse's reins and said with a smile: "How about this horse? Is this horse in line with Fengxian's wishes?"
The tall Lu Bu turned over and dismounted without showing any clumsiness, and laughed loudly: "It is indeed a good horse..." After taking a look at the middle-aged man, he stopped smiling, frowned and said, "That's right, I am with you.
I’m afraid the horse is out of luck.”
The middle-aged man's expression changed, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and then he said as usual: "My dear brother, my dear brother, this red rabbit horse and you are exactly the same as the BMW and the hero, how come there is no chance of fate? If you don't dislike it,
This red rabbit horse will be your mount from now on.
Lu Bu raised his thick eyebrows and reached out to stroke the mane on the horse's neck, as if he couldn't put it down.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man stepped forward and said: "My virtuous brother has the talent to hold up the sky and the sea. Who doesn't admire him in the whole world? Just like what is said in the "Dragon and Tiger List of the Great Han Dynasty", the valor of my virtuous brother is unparalleled in the world."
It is recognized that the number one man among men is, if he wants to gain fame and wealth, why not just pick something out of his bag!'
Lu Bu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, which seemed to be of great use. He had also read the "Dragon and Tiger List of the Great Han Dynasty" and must review it every day before going to bed.
The middle-aged man had been observing the changes in Lu Bu's expression. When he saw this, he took a step forward, stared at Lu Bu and said, "Won't you hear that good birds choose trees to roost, and good ministers choose their masters to work?"
Lu Bu's eyes flashed with emotion. He looked around and saw no one else, then he sighed quietly.
The middle-aged man laughed and said: "There are many heroes in the world today, just like the heroes on the "Dragon and Tiger List of the Great Han Dynasty", which one is not like this? Let's talk about Xu Huang, Xu Gongming, before this person
But how could a small official in the county have the prestige he has today if he had not chosen a wise master?'
Lu Bu nodded in agreement. Rumors of Xu Huang's deeds had already reached Luoyang, and his record of fighting a thousand soldiers with one horse was even more desirable.
The middle-aged man twisted his beard and said, "What a pity. Brother Fool has always felt unworthy of Brother Xian. How can Brother Xian pursue Ding Jianyang and make great achievements?"
Lu Bu looked up at him with a tangled look on his face, as if he wanted to say something, but when he thought of Xu Huang's great achievements, he suddenly felt sour in his heart. How could it be justified that he, the top one, was not as good as someone in the top ten in terms of record?
Sighing, Lu Bu said bluntly: "Oh, it's rare to meet a wise master."
The middle-aged man's expression changed and he said hurriedly: "Brother Fool is here just for the sake of Brother Xian's future.
"oh?!"
Lu Bu's eyes lit up, he grabbed the middle-aged man's arm and asked for advice: "Brother, look at the world today, who can be called the world's hero?
"Hahaha..." The middle-aged man twisted his beard and laughed, looking at Lu Bu's men next to him.
Seeing this, Lu Bu hurriedly stepped back and said, "Brother, it doesn't matter if you say it."
The middle-aged man watched those people retreat, twisted his beard and said: "I looked at the world and all the ministers, and thought that they were all inferior.
Lu Bu said excitedly: "Who?'
The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and said in a sonorous tone: "Dong Zhuo!"
"ah?"
Lu Bu was shocked,
Yesterday, Dong Zhuo was beaten so badly that he fled into the city. But today, someone said that he was the hero. How could Lu Bu be happy? When the middle-aged man saw this, he burst out laughing.
"Brother Xian, a hero like you will turn pale when he hears Dong Zhuo's name. Dong Zhuo is a true hero! Hahaha.
Lu Bu was not angry but laughed, "Brother, you are really good at joking, how can you treat this thief as a hero? Dong Zhuo is domineering and has a rebellious heart. Everyone in the civil and military dynasties does not know, but you actually
"Good brother." The middle-aged man explained: "You only know the appearance but not the inside. You only know one but not the other."
"oh?'
Seeing Lu Bu's confused look, the middle-aged man pulled him aside and tried to persuade him.
"conscription?'
"Yes, I heard that five thousand people are needed, but there seems to be some kind of assessment, and I don't know if it is strict or not."
"What are the main tests? You are a scholar. Tell us quickly. We are both illiterate.'
In Anyi County, a group of people gathered outside the health center.
A young man dressed as a scribe was standing at the door explaining the contents of the notice.
"To put it simply, you are hired to go into battle to kill the enemy. The minimum salary is one dou of food per month. When you get to the battlefield, you will be rewarded with one dou of food for killing one person, two dou of food for killing two people, and so on. But you can't kill the good and take credit for it.
, otherwise not only will there be no reward, but your head will also be beheaded.
There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and a dark-skinned man asked: "What does the second article mean?"
The young scribe took a look and said: "The second criterion is the selection criteria. It is mentioned above that the age between sixteen and thirty is not accepted. Those over thirty are not accepted, and those under sixteen are not accepted.'
"ah!'
Many people lamented that the salary of one bucket of grain per month was just missed.
They are not disgusted with conscription, but rather yearn for it. After all, they can make achievements on the battlefield and earn food. This is different from the past when the imperial court forced conscription. Not only did the conscripts of the imperial court earn no food, but they also had to pay a lot of money, and they could only die if they died.
I only have a small amount of pension, which is not enough to support my family for ten days and a half.
"By the way, does it say how much the pension is?"
The young scribe nodded, pointed to Article 6, and said: "If you unfortunately die on the battlefield, the Wei family will send a bucket of food to the family every month, and those with young children in the family can also study in the school for free.
The pension will not be stopped until the children grow up and are able to take care of themselves. It also said that the children can work directly in Weishi in the future and receive preferential treatment."
"I can do something for Mr. Wei!'
"That's a good thing.'
"Er Gouzi, let's sign up. I get one bucket of food every month.
"I think you want to die. Who doesn't know that you have three and a half sons to support at home, and I don't have any sons, so I won't go.
The young scribe standing on the steps looked at Ergouzi who was speaking, and said with a smile: "If you can kill the enemy and perform meritorious service on the battlefield, after returning in triumph, you can directly join the city guard or the city guard, and you should be treated the same.
You know.
Ergouzi's eyes lit up and he hurriedly bowed his hands to the young scribe and said excitedly: "Is this true?"
The young scribe laughed and looked at the notice on the side, pointed to Article 8, and said: "It is clearly written on it. If you can kill five thieves, you can apply to join the city guard. If you kill ten, you can join directly.
If there are more than ten city guards, they will be directly awarded the rank of commander, a house with three entrances, a hundred stones of food, and a horse.
"Oh my God, I'm giving you a house!"
The young scribe nodded and said: "Not only that, if one of you can kill the thieves like Coach Xu, they will be frightened by the news, and you can also get the legendary earth evil weapon.'
"Wow, I can get the Pangu Ax!
"The dragon-slaying knife is so powerful!'
"You guys know nothing. Coach Zhang's eight-foot-long snake spear is a powerful weapon for killing the enemy."
In the crowd, two men with thick eyebrows and big eyes looked at each other.
"Brother Wen Chou, there is also recruitment here, and the pay is good. Should we go and join General Yuan?"
Another man scratched his messy hair, frowned and said, "I don't know either.
The two looked at each other and saw a trace of hesitation in each other's eyes.
At this moment, Zhang Fei led a small team out of the guardhouse. Seeing so many people gathered at the door, he curiously asked the young scribe: "Has anyone signed up yet? I have all the test props ready."
The young scribe hurriedly bowed and said: "This notice has just been posted. If you want people to sign up, you have to explain it carefully.
Zhang Fei raised his thick eyebrows, looked at the onlookers, and shouted loudly: "If you are a man, don't be nagging. Hurry up and get a few people to follow me for the assessment. With such a good condition, why are you hesitating?'
Many people in the crowd were Zhang Fei's supporters. After hearing this, they were all eager to give it a try, but no one was the first to come forward.
Zhang Fei raised his thick eyebrows, pointed at the two strongest-looking men in the crowd, and said, "Hey, you two, do you want to sign up?"
Yan Liangwen Chou, who was standing in the crowd, was stunned for a moment. Facing Zhang Fei's gaze, he was in a dilemma for a moment.
Someone next to him said: "Hey, these two strong men are in good shape. Go ahead, go ahead and help us explore the way."
Instructor Zhang is not bad anymore, he is going to help you explore the way."
Zhang Fei was in charge of the assessment today. He had been waiting impatiently in the guardhouse for a long time. When he saw the two people acting coquettishly, he said angrily: "That's bullshit. You're trying to compare yourself with me. I think they can't even pass the first level."
If you can't get through, you'll only have a body of flesh.'
With that said, Zhang Fei casually pointed towards the crowd, who happened to be the Ergouzi from before, and said: "What about you, do you dare to go in for the assessment?
Er Gouzi has admired Zhang Fei for a long time. Now that he was named by his idol, he didn't care so much. He ran forward and said: "What are you afraid of? Don't look at me Er Gouzi who is not tall and I don't have much strength."
Small.'
When Zhang Fei saw someone catering to him, he immediately smiled and pulled Er Gouzi to praise him.
Compared with Er Gouzi's 'bravery', the hesitant Yan Liang Wen Chou in the crowd suddenly became a negative example, and even the people standing next to him began to criticize them.
Perhaps because he was being pointed out, or because he was determined to prove himself, Yan Liang pulled away from the crowd, stood directly in front of Zhang Fei, and said loudly: "Report and report, I, Yan Liang, a person from Anping County, if you have any assessments, just come, hum!
'
Good brother Wen Chou came forward and no longer hesitated. He also opened the crowd and said, "I, Wen Chou, also sign up."
Zhang Fei burst out laughing and praised his wit. This inspired him to learn and apply the method, and unexpectedly he actually caught two nice big fish.
Someone signed up, and then more than ten people came to the young scribes to register.
After Zhang Fei saw twenty people, he led them directly into the guardhouse.
Registration is only the first step. Next, these twenty people will have to pass a series of assessments. Only after passing the subsequent assessments can they officially join the expeditionary force formed by the Wei family.
"Okay, who of you comes first?"
Everyone came to the backyard of the guardhouse, and Zhang Fei laughed.
They saw a bunch of strange facilities in the yard. Except for one archery target they knew, they had never seen any of the others.
Zhang Fei was too lazy to bother, so he directly copied the obstacle course set up in Haojia Village, and added an archery event. "Instructor Zhang, how do I take this test?" Ergouzi looked confused. He was the first to sign up.
Yes, it should be the first to be assessed
Only then did Zhang Fei remember that he had not demonstrated yet.
Hearing this, he took off his coat, revealing the stab-proof clothing underneath, and said, "I'm only going to run it once. Watch carefully. If you miss an item, or dare to take any tricks, your results will be cancelled.'
Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this.
Zhang Fei trotted to the starting point, moved his hands and feet, and sprinted out amidst the sound of the deputy's gong.
Another deputy quickly opened the hourglass and started timing.
At the same time, he explained: “If the assessment is not completed before the sand in the hourglass falls, it will also be regarded as a failure.
"Ah, we need to keep time." Ergouzi looked at Zhang Fei who easily climbed over several wooden walls, and considered the possibility of passing the test.
On the other hand, Yan Liangwen and Wen Chou looked at each other and smiled. They thought this test was quite simple and not as difficult as they imagined.
At this time, Zhang Fei ran to the last item, bow and arrow.
Whoosh whoosh...the three arrows landed steadily on the bullseye.
The deputy turned off the hourglass, and there was still half of the sand in the funnel. The two dogs took a look and said, hey, there's a lot of sand.
Zhang Fei trotted back and said breathlessly: "Okay, according to the order of registration, you come first.
Ergouzi chuckled and thought that he should be fine. Zhang Fei still had half of the sand left after running, and he should have at most a handful of sand left.
Mouth!
The two dogs ran wildly.
Mouth!
Ergouzi became tired and turned into a pug on the second wooden wall.
"After the sand has fallen, I failed the assessment and left the venue quickly.
Zhang Fei sighed helplessly. Although the young man actively participated, his strength was worrying.
Ergouzi was carried out, and his breathing was as heavy as a bellows, which showed that he really tried his best.
The second turn was Yan Liang.
Zhang Fei glanced sideways at him, and Yan Liang snorted coldly.
He rushed out amidst the sound of the gong.
Easily climbed over the ground net, crossed the single-plank bridge, climbed over the wooden wall, climbed the sky rope... Whoosh, whoosh, three arrows hit the bull's-eye steadily. "Fuck!"
"Ge Lao Tzu's."
"So strong?'
Mouth!
"The assessment is over, it took...sixty breaths.'
The deputy weighed the sand and looked at Zhang Fei in disbelief.
Zhang Fei was also dumbfounded. After the hourglass fell, it took one hundred and twenty breaths, and sixty breaths was half of it. It was exactly the same speed as he just did.
Looking at Yan Liang who was slightly panting, Zhang Fei suddenly felt that he had found a treasure.
At this time, Wen Chou, who saw Yan Liang's good grades, looked eager to try and said: "It's my turn, I don't even need these things for sixty breaths."
Zhang Fei did not dare to look down on anyone this time, and said with a smile: "Okay, if you can reach sixty breaths, I will treat you to wine and meat tonight.'
Wen Shanshangyan was delighted and licked his lips, "Okay, this is what you said."
