Chapter 195 The celebration meeting is about to start, and the first person to enter is the Yulin Ar

January 31, 259 BC.

Although it is the middle of winter, Handan is extremely hot today. Countless people in the streets and alleys are rushing, rushing out of the city, and even the air is filled with a warm atmosphere.

Why is this happening? This is because the notice was already shown in the city a few days ago.

Zhao Wangdan, the king of Zhao, will hold a meeting outside Handan City on this day to reward those soldiers who have made contributions in the Battle of Changping and the Battle of Yan.

So as soon as the sun rose, many people in Handan City rushed out of the city gate and came to the venue of the conference.

The venue for this conference is located on the plain next to the main road between Palace City and Guocheng in Handan.

Just about two miles away from the road, an extremely huge military camp stood here. Countless people from Zhao lined up like a long dragon and entered the military camp in an orderly manner.

This military camp has obviously undergone special transformation. The military camp is very large, but most of the places are empty, and it seems to be built to accommodate these people.

Not only that, there are still 10,000 fully armed Zhao soldiers in the military camp maintaining order.

These Zhao soldiers all looked cold and fierce, straight, tall, and had a breath between their eyebrows that was not daring to approach. At first glance, they were veterans of Zhao who had experienced many battles, which attracted a lot of praise from the people of Zhao who passed by.

An aunt who looked about in her early forties pulled a young man around her, who was about teenager beside her and said earnestly: "Xiaolang, look, this is the soldier of our Zhao Kingdom! You will have to go into battle like this in the future."

The boy shrank his head and said in fear: "Mom, I'm afraid someone will die when I go to the battlefield."

The aunt was furious when she heard this, and slapped the young man hard on the head and shouted: "Since you are Zhao Guoerlang, how can you be so greedy and afraid of death? If you don't go to the battlefield to fight for fame, how can you have surplus food to feed you?"

The angry aunt spitted everywhere and fired up, and the young man was scolded so hard that he did not dare to answer.

But it is not difficult to see from the boy's expression that he actually disagrees with his mother's words.

Under the guidance of these soldiers who maintained order, the people of Zhao who were watching the fun quickly came to the military camp.

Although it is nearly an hour before noon announced in the announcement, there are already people rushing and bustling here.

This is not surprising. You should know that the State of Zhao used to reward meritorious soldiers, but they were usually held in closed military camps, and ordinary people had no chance to see the grand occasion. Such an open conference was the first time for the first time.

The first time means freshness, and freshness means that someone is willing to see it, and many people are willing to see it.

One trip to ten, ten trips to hundreds, almost half of the people in Handan City came out and came to this military camp early.

At this moment, the military camp was crowded with people. At first glance, the dark heads were swaying, and it was extremely spectacular.

But if there are many people, the overall order is still quite good. This is mainly because thousands of officials in Handan City maintain order here. More importantly, the fully armed Zhao soldiers who can be seen everywhere in the military camp, shining with swords in their hands.

The notice has long been clearly stated: "Whoever disturbs order in the conference will be killed; those who steal will be killed; those who hurt others will be killed..."

Someone who was interested in this notice counted and eighteen words "kill" appeared.

These words "Slaying" are not just a joke.

Just a quarter of an hour later, nearly forty bodies were dragged out...

This greatly guarantees the good operation of order.

There is a high platform in the center of this camp, which is more than ten feet high. You can see this platform no matter where you stand in the military camp.

In addition, there is a two-person tall every 100 meters in the camp, similar to a miniature watchtower that can only accommodate one person standing.

There are hundreds of places in the camp of miniature platforms like this, and there is a Zhao army soldier standing on each platform, and these Zhao army soldiers are holding something with a slender tail but quite wide front.

Someone recognized the Zhao army soldier and couldn't help but ask, "Zhonglang, what's the one you are holding?"

The soldier who called Zhonglang looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he proudly shook the artifact in his hand: "This is called a speaker, it is used for amplification!"

"Amplification? How to amplify sound method?"

Zhonglang smiled and said, "You will know later." But he refused to talk about the use of this speaker.

In this lively and bustle, a loud music suddenly came.

There was a commotion in the crowd: "Here, come!" They all looked at the entrance of the camp.

Someone asked in confusion: "Why are you here?"

Immediately someone cast a contemptuous look: "I don't understand the music yet? It's our king here!"

"So it's the king! Our king is a good king. We will defeat the Qin people with us!"

"Don't make noise there, dodge a little, and don't block my chance to see the king's style!"

"Ye? Are you tired of living?"

···

The person who came was indeed Zhao Dan.

In fact, it was not just Zhao Dan who came, but a whole team.

A large army of tens of thousands.

The first thing that appeared in front of the people was a very strict army, black armor and red clothes, and feathered helmets.

The size of this army is about 4,000. Everyone carries a bow and a sword, and is equipped with extremely well-equipped. One thousand people in front ride a horse into three cavalry and one cavalry in one cavalry, and two thousand four hundred people in the rear walk into six cavalry. When marching, they are all energetic and steady in their pace, and they are extremely heroic and powerful.

When the people of Zhao saw this army, they immediately exclaimed a tide of admiration.

"What kind of army is this? Damn, why is it so majestic!" Someone asked a question.

Immediately, a tall and thin man replied: "This is what you don't know. This is the newly established army by our king, called the Yulin Army!"

"Yulin Army? Why do I have a feather on my helmet? This name is majestic!"

The tall and thin man looked up proudly: "Majesty? Let me tell you, Brother Wuzhong is in this Yulin Army. But everyone takes this Yulin Army seriously. Only the 400,000 soldiers in Zhao State can get these four thousand Yulins, which are of many benefits!"

"Hiss..." As soon as this said, there was a chill around him, and someone asked, "Everyone said, what is the benefit of this Yulin Army?"

The tall and thin man looked even more proud when he saw many people: "Let's tell you, this Yulin Army has many benefits! He was selected and was awarded the fourth-class title, with an annual salary of 200 stones, and a reward of land and slaves. If he was not charged, he would be exempted from taxes for twenty years!"

"Wow!" As soon as these words were said, the eyes of the people around him instantly turned extremely red.

Envy, jealousy and hate!

A fourth-class civil servant, what does this mean? A strong man has to participate in the army for five years and win at least three battles and have more than ten beheading records before he can be promoted to a fourth-class civil servant!

Now you only need to be selected into the Yulin Army, and you will have it all!

Seeing this, the tall and thin man spoke without a chance: "We heard that the Yulin Army was going to recruit 5,000 people, but now there are only 3,400 people, and there are still 1,600 places."

The people of Zhao suddenly became completely uneasy, and many people immediately shouted excitedly: "We are going to join the army and be the Yulin Army!"

But at this moment, a very contemptuous voice suddenly rang.
Chapter completed!
