"Chief Liu, the Prince of Zhenbei has arrived in Pengcheng. Do we want to pay him a visit?"
"He is a yellow-haired boy. According to his seniority, he has to call me uncle. If he doesn't come to visit me as an elder, forget it. He also asked me to visit him. Go and invite Murong Sima and other generals to the mansion. I want Give them a banquet”
"yes"
In the early morning, Hanwen arrived at the Pengcheng Army Camp. In the early morning, everything was quiet. A trace of light appeared on the eastern horizon, carefully infiltrating the light blue sky. Most of the soldiers were still sleeping soundly, and only a few were scattered in the camp. Walk to the camp
"Blow the drum to send the message and order everyone to assemble."
The deafening war drums sounded, awakening everyone from their sweet dreams. Everyone in the camp became busy. For half an hour, 50,000 troops wearing armor and holding weapons gathered, bathed in the sun, looking majestic.
"Are all the officers and soldiers of Prefect Yang here?"
"More than 300 and 15 soldiers did not come, and 15 officers did not come. They are all members of the noble family."
"Have those people been notified?"
"We informed you yesterday that Chief Shi Liu Linhua, Inspector Murong Murong Bo, Sima Cao Yong, and the County Magistrate...have not arrived yet."
Hanwen stood on the high platform and shouted loudly, his voice piercing the clouds and hitting the rocks.
"I am Xu Hanwen, the prince of Zhenbei. I think everyone has heard of me. I don't have three heads and six arms, and I don't have vast magical powers. Recently, the southern country invaded, so I used this military strategy.
The drums are beating to gather the generals, but the three drums have passed, the generals have not arrived, and the soldiers have been slow. Now I declare that all those who do not participate in the assembly will be regarded as those who fear the enemy and run away. All officials will be dismissed, and all soldiers will be dismissed from the military."
"No, the prince. These people are descendants of aristocratic families and have a strong influence in Pengcheng. Removing them may cause chaos and even shake the morale of the army."
"These people are citizens of the country and hold high positions. They don't think about serving the country. They know how to fight for power, dissatisfaction, and turmoil. If they are capable of rebellion, I will admire them from the bottom of my heart. In this way, I can give my "Precious Sword"
He pulled out the long sword from his waist and raised it high. The soldier looked at the sword in his hand, shining red.
"General Yang, draw your sword"
"Your Majesty, what are you trying to do?"
General Yang pulled out his sword, and with a click, the sword in his hand split into two. Hanwen took the sword out of its sheath, and in the blink of an eye,
"Good knife, so fast"
All the soldiers were surprised by the power of this sword.
"The name of this sword is the bloody sword, which means that a seven-foot man is reborn from blood and becomes a man. A man is born in troubled times. He should hold a three-foot sword and serve the country with loyalty. He will be a hero in life and a hero in death. How can a man be depressed when he is born in heaven and earth? I have been living under others for a long time, and now the opportunity has come. Fifteen general and non-commissioned officer positions are available. Do you want to be a general?"
"think"
Tens of thousands of people shouted at the same time, their voices surging in the air
Well, a soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a good soldier. Only when people have great ambitions can they keep making progress. Today, there is a competition to select generals. Anyone who has the ability, no matter who you are, even if you are a servant, a cook, or a slave, can stand up. In addition to martial arts, skills, and proficiency in management, tax collectors can also participate in the selection. The current candidates are now elected, and those who have mastered it will become officials, starting immediately."
"On-site official selection, is what he said useful?"
"He is your Majesty's personally appointed Marquis of Loyalty and Lord of Xuzhou. His words will definitely be useful."
"Then I, Liu Yuan, will sign up."
"I, Zhu Dafu, sign up"
"Hanwen turned around and faced the generals around him. If you have the ability, you can also participate in the selection for the position of chief historian and Sima."
"Final general Yuan Tong is willing to participate in the selection"
"good"
"What's wrong with Mr. Liu and Mr. Murong? Prince Xu will remove you from your official positions because you did not go to the military camp to worship together."
"What, he dares"
"He has already held a competition in the military camp to select generals to take your place."
"The last general resigned in advance. Two generals of the rank and file and one general did not want to stay in Liu's house for long and hurried to the military camp."
"The last general, Liu Bu, Gucheng, and Zhu Gui failed to attend the meeting in time. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"Since you came late, you did not obey the general's orders. Anyone who disobeys the orders will be severely punished and all your official positions will be cancelled."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. We understand our mistakes."
"I am new here. I can forgive you for your first mistake. I have always been fair and strict. If you take part in the competition, if you have real skills, let alone your original official position, it is not impossible to take a step forward."
"Xie Shizi"
In one morning, fifteen generals were selected.
"Now I appoint Yuan Tong as the chief historian." Yuan Tong stepped forward and knelt down to thank him.
"Qin Ying is Sima" Qin Ying came to the stage and knelt down to thank him
"Yang Yanting is the governor of Pengcheng and also the inspector of Xuzhou, handling Xuzhou affairs for me."
"Cheng Chuxing is the county prime minister"
"Liu Bu is a pioneer official"
"Zhu Gui is the deputy general of Sima"
"Liu Yuan is a general"
"At the end of the day, I will kowtow to the Crown Prince, calm down the liver and brain, and repay the Crown Prince's service."
"That's wrong. All this is not given by me, but by the imperial court. It is earned by yourselves. The person you should be loyal to is the current His Majesty."
"I'll thank you later, Your Majesty."
"The generals are here. Now I want to select soldiers. Soldiers can also become generals. As long as you make contributions, I, Xu Hanwen, will make you proud and prosperous for life. We are about to fight in the South. The opportunity to make contributions has come. We need pioneers. I will Select 150,000 cavalry as the vanguard. Anyone who signs up to participate can get this sword. I have ordered this sword to be made. Good horses match good saddles, and good swords match heroes. Each person who joins the vanguard will be rewarded with three taels of silver. The rest will be rewarded with one or two pieces.”
"General, I would like to tell you that my parents often praise you at home, saying that you not only killed corrupt officials, but also gave money and food to the people, and also treated the elders in the family for free. My parents have been kind to you, and I will repay with my life. you"
"I don't want your life. Your life belongs to your parents. The people of Jiangshan Kingdom are all our parents. I just want to do this to let the people live a good life, live happily, have enough food and sleep warmly. You sacrifice your life for me. You should sacrifice your life for your parents and your brothers, and kill the enemy bravely. If you kill the enemy with merit, I will let you return home in glory, let you honor your ancestors, and let your parents enjoy their old age. If you die in battle, , I will take care of your parents for you. If you have a child, I will accept him as a disciple and teach him my skills."
"The villain Yang De swears to follow the general to the death"
"We are also willing to follow the general. Twenty-one generals kneel down."
"good"
"A man should make great achievements, protect the peace of the country, and ensure that his wife and children have enough food and clothing. Now I order all the cavalry to set out with me."
At this time, twelve officials including Liu Linhua, Murong Bo, and Cao Yong appeared.
"No one is allowed to move. I am the chief historian of Pengcheng. After the death of General Murong, I have the final say on the entire Pengcheng army."
"Really?, you disobey my order"
"You are just a young boy with yellow hair. How can you command an army of 50,000 people? Don't listen to his nonsense, brothers."
The man in front of me is over forty years old, wearing a domed steel helmet, black armor, a purple embroidered robe with a collar, an exquisite gold and jade ring tied around his waist, and a pair of gold-threaded green soap court boots. Eyebrows, bright teeth, red lips, dark skin, majestic body, majestic appearance, stunning words
"If you don't accept it, fine, I'll beat you until you accept it."
"Liu Linhua, you are considered a tiger general of our Jiangshan Kingdom. Aren't you dissatisfied? I will give you a chance. As long as twelve of you can defeat me, let alone the army and official positions, even the Lord of Xuzhou can be given to you. wait"
"This is true"
"I am the Crown Prince of Zhenbei, and I have royal blood. I keep my promise, how could I lie to you?"
"Okay, bring me my big knife"
