Unlike the civil examination where the scholars were busy writing and writing, here the martial arts examination was full of people and noisy.
First of all, there is the first round of testing. This round of testing has no actual effect on the final results. It just selects a few people to participate in the official martial arts competition later.
After all, there are nearly 3,000 people participating in the martial arts examination. Many of these people were just farmers or rogues from the market near Luoyang. To come here to try their luck, they must first screen out some of them. Those who fail will be eliminated directly.
The first round of tests is divided into six items: strength, speed, endurance, fighting, horse riding, and archery. Among these six items, as long as three of them reach the passing line, it means that you have passed the first round of elimination and can Officially participating in the next martial arts event.
Taking Dian Wei as an example, his horse riding and archery skills were very low, but this still could not prevent Dian Wei from becoming a fierce general.
Therefore, among these six projects, they are not required to pass all six projects, only half of them are required. This is because Li Xiang did not want to miss some talents by accident.
"Director Li, there are too many people!" Zhao Yun looked at the thousands of people left and said with a headache.
Judging from this scale, it is simply not possible to assign a ranking in a short period of time. They were recruiting officers, not soldiers, and in the end they only recruited the top two hundred people.
Most of the talents selected from the military examinations are sent to various armies to serve as military commanders and army commanders. A very small number of them can even serve as school captains. Of course, they are just ordinary school captains, unlike Wuji School. The captains, the captains of Pinglu, the captains of fighting against the bandits, the captains of Jianzhong, the captains of protecting Qiang, and even the captains of Tunqi, Yueqi, infantry, Changshui, and Shesheng are not at all. One thing.
The titles of captains such as Wuji Colonel, Pinglu Colonel, Tunqi Colonel, Yueqi Colonel, etc. are equivalent to the fourth rank, with a rank of two thousand stones, one level higher than a partial general.
In this martial arts competition, only the few talents with the best performance can rise to the top in one step and be directly promoted to the position of partial general.
Going up further, it cannot be granted based on just such an imperial examination, it must wait until they have made meritorious services. Otherwise, no matter how high it is, how can those soldiers in the army who have fought bloody battles but have not yet received a chance to be promoted accept it easily?
"Let's simplify the procedure and form teams of two. The winner will be promoted. If the loser is dissatisfied, he can fight with a certain number of soldiers in our army to get a chance to advance!" Li Jing said after thinking for a while.
Originally, in this round, everyone had to draw lots to compete with different opponents for five games. Those who won three games could advance to the next round. This is also done to prevent two strong players from being eliminated due to the unlucky fate of being arranged as opponents, resulting in the loss of talents.
For example, wouldn't it be a pity for a super-class warrior to directly encounter a peerless warrior and be eliminated when he comes on stage?
For this warrior, he lost an opportunity, and for Li Xiang, he lost a talent that should have been available. Although being superb is nothing now, mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are. If you can get it, you must get it!
Now, according to Li Jing's method, there is only one round of competition, and the winner is directly promoted. If the loser is unwilling but actually talented, he can also get a chance to qualify by competing with the soldiers. Doing so can indeed have the same effect of avoiding missing out on talents.
Of course, if the eliminated ones want a chance to qualify, they may face five soldiers in this round. In the next round, the eliminated ones may have to face ten soldiers. The eliminated ones in the future will face There are more soldiers!
"General Xu Huang, leave this matter to the general!" Li Jing asked the serious-looking general beside him.
Xu Huang is a steady person, and even the master once said that he is like Zhou Yafu. Li Jing can rest assured that he will leave this matter to Xu Huang.
As for Xu Huang, his strength has improved greatly over the years. When he was in Xiaopingjin, he made a breakthrough in a life-and-death crisis. His strength has initially reached peerless level, surpassing other five generals. Among the other five good generals, even Zhang Liao is still at the top of his game.
Speaking of which, it was a pity for Zhang Liao that when he killed Xiahou Dun, the system had not enabled new functions at that time, which made him lose an opportunity to improve his basic force. Otherwise, Zhang Liao should be able to keep pace with Xu Huang now!
"Don't worry, Commander!" Xu Huang said with a solemn expression.
Li Jing looked at Xu Huang's calm look and nodded secretly. He was indeed a good general. Looking at the clan brother Li Cunxu next to him, his mood couldn't help but feel a little worse.
Li Jing admired Li Cunxu, his younger brother. In terms of military ability, Li Cunxu was at the forefront of the entire family.
At the same time, Li Jing was angry at him for not arguing. Although this clan brother was talented, he was greedy for pleasure, had soft ears, and liked to hang out with a group of pitiful people.
Such a small problem is nothing to a general, but to a commander in charge of hundreds of thousands of troops, sometimes it will become your fatal flaw.
Otherwise, this kid may not be able to become a general, and even become a governor of a state like him in the future. He will not be like now, always serving as someone else's deputy in large-scale wars, and only giving way in small-scale wars. He makes the decision himself.
Li Cunxu seemed to notice the way Li Jing looked at him and couldn't help but shrink back. He did not dare to provoke Li Jing. Among the Li family, apart from Li Xiang, Li Jing had the highest status, reaching the rank of governor of a state.
"Jilong, Baoyu, and Zhongchen are here too!" Li Siyuan pointed at a few people in the crowd and said.
Li Jilong, Li Baoyu, and Li Zhongchen were all characters implanted into the Li family after this balance, and are now considered rising stars of the Li family. Of course, it's not just military commanders. Some of the civil servants surnamed Li who were balanced this time also belong to Li Xiang.
As for minority generals such as Li Huaiguang and Li Guochen, they were implanted into Li Shimin. There are also several civil and military officials named Li such as Li Shenfu who have not yet served as officials, and their specific affiliations are not known.
Li Jilong, Li Baoyu, and Li Zhongchen appeared, and Li Jing couldn't help but nod secretly. These three people can be said to be proficient in bow and horse, and excellent in shooting. If they are put into the army and have a little training for two years, they can be regarded as a backbone.
