According to the prior arrangement, this Youzhou Army Competition will last for three days. From more than 500 warriors participating in the competition, a hundred winners will be selected and given generous rewards, so as to declare to the entire army that the Pingbei General only values ​​talent and has no distinction between territory. In the projects carried out on the first day, a total of 36 winners were decided, six more than the original ones. This is because the soldiers and horses of Dai County in Youzhou are generally elite, and there are many excellent martial arts, so it is often difficult to distinguish the level of the level.

.In order to reward this group of warriors with extraordinary courage, the military government directly allocated more than fifty lands. If these soldiers started their families and careers in Youzhou, they would further increase the number. In addition to the fields, there were also rewards for armor, archery, horses, swords and other weapons. The gifts in this regard almost cover all participants, so the consumption was also huge. Fortunately, there were a lot of stocks in the Youzhou military treasury, otherwise it would be impossible to support Dai County's capture in the past year of war.

At night, a large number of people gradually dispersed under the guidance of the army. The soldiers who participated in the competition that day rested in the camp not far from the bird's nest. In addition, the kitchen had been arranged in advance to roast meat and cook vegetables using dozens of bonfires in the camp for the soldiers to enjoy. In order to show their affection, Lu Yao also set up his central army tent here, and he did not rush to return the tent, but wandered around the camps and greeted the soldiers one by one.

The Youzhou Army and the Dai County Army were once hostile. The two armies fought fiercely in Ruyuan, and their losses were not small. Therefore, it is also an important task to make up for the hostility between the grassroots soldiers of the two armies. The tents where the soldiers rested were calculated in advance, and they consciously arranged the soldiers of Dai County and Youzhou in the same place. So Lu Yao often met acquaintances of Dai County and introduced the soldiers of Youzhou when he was wandering. He was happy, so Lu Yao sat with everyone to the campfire and cut a few pieces of meat to eat. For such behaviors that were completely different from superiors and inferiors, the Dai County soldiers were better. The Youzhou soldiers were a little restrained at first. But since they were willing to come here to participate in the competition, they had the idea of ​​serving the military palace, so later, they gradually relaxed. Everyone talked loudly and laughed, regardless of who was the general or the soldiers.

Not far from the military tent here, there are larger camps, which are places for other soldiers and some spectators to rest, and also assume the function of military alert.

In some of the larger tents, some of the great children of Youzhou local powerful sects who came to watch the ceremony gathered. Lu Yao did not deliberately invite the rich families from all over the country to come to Jicheng to meet, but his intention to divide the Youzhou army did not directly stop them, at least on the surface, reflecting the attitude of the local aristocratic tribes. In addition, Fang Qinzhi's explanation of the "Bird's Nest" also reached them, which could be regarded as a kind-hearted expression. So on the one hand, these big clans maintained their reserved and high-spirited attitude, and on the other hand, they sent their children from the clan to watch the ceremony one after another.

These people looked at Lu Yao's actions in the bonfire, and quietly discussed, and occasionally made a scramble.

"I saw the great military authority in the day, but only by looking at the actions at this time, I know that Lu's military management has been deeply samadhi of military strategy. Wu Zi said: Treat soldiers as babies, so they can go to Shenxi; treat soldiers as beloved sons, and die with them... With this move, the military spirit has gathered. After the Southeast General Gate, it is very comparable." This is a group of people who truly feel the military strength of the General's Mansion through a day's observation.

"It may not be possible. Isn't you not sure. You have heard that you are so generous but not capable, you love but not command, and you are so unruly that you cannot govern. It is like a proud son who is not capable of being used. Such a military rule has no majesty, and it is not a restrained army, which is no different from a bandit." This is a group of people among the gentry of Youzhou who have been respected for generations and have also looked down upon Lu Yao, who was born in a general.

"Wang Pengzu was a famous general in the past, and no one could defeat him. However, he was defeated in Ruyuan and was as sad as a dog who was straying from his family, so he ran away from Jizhou and died suddenly. If the soldiers in front of him were thieves, would Wang Pengzu's soldiers be a mob? What did we become when we were running around and serving Wang Pengzu's shogun that day?"

"This time, that time, how can we generalize it? Let me analyze it for you..."

"The two virtuous nephews don't have to fight for their will. We are here to observe the reality of the army. Why should we argue with our own family?" A tall old man came forward and said, "You guys, I thought that Lu and Zu had the power to share, and the two tigers would fight each other. Our aristocratic clans could sit and watch. Who knew that now the two of them cooperated without a break, and Lu Daoming had the opportunity to take the big competition to capture the morale of Youzhou's army, and instigated the ancestors to re-establish the soldiers of the prefectures and counties, and recruit our private soldiers... This man was killed by swords and I was fishing, how should we deal with it? I couldn't find a good plan, and I was really worried!"

Although this person used words to slow down the conflict between the two, he also showed great hostility towards General Lu Yao, General Pingbei and Zu Ti, the governor of Youzhou. He was obviously a group of representatives of the powerful clan who had considerable strength in the local area and attempted to seek greater power.

The man who praised Lu Yao for his military administration was young and vigorous, shook his head and said, "Shi Shu is such a bad word. Don't you know that since Lu Daoming is the governor of the military affairs of Youzhou, he must be able to gather the morale of Youzhou. In recent years, the Hu tribe has become increasingly arrogant, and the soldiers and horses of the prefectures and counties can be strong enough to ensure safety. My nephew is ignorant, but I don't know what worries Shi Shu has? Moreover, the governor and the governor are all appointed by the court, and it is even more natural to manage local military affairs. That person's statement that I was killed by a knife and I was a sensationalist..."

The old man had a very high status and thought that everyone would not dare to contradict him when he said something. Therefore, he was displeased when he heard this: "Now the current situation is not based on his own hometown, but instead relying on officials appointed by the court? If the situation changes in the moment and there are no substitutes in the family, will they all be left to slaughter?"

"When it comes to his family's family, the family's family's relatives and bloodlines have been in harmony with each other for generations. Isn't it because they are not his family's family? The ancestors are naive and wealthy. When they were in Youzhou, they often scattered grain and silk for poverty, and were praised by everyone. Now that he is the governor of this state, isn't it worthy of Uncle Shi's trust?" The young man sighed: "What Uncle Shi is afraid of is because he has never obtained a position in the new governor and the governor's mansion. The land and household registration that the Ru clan embezzled in recent years is very large. If the state will be in power, it may be forced to return it?"

"Ignorance child! Nonsense!" The old man slapped the table and scolded, paused and argued: "When Wang Pengzu was in Youzhou, he was in trouble with his taxes and labor, and his subordinates were unable to bear his life. Therefore, most people had theories that had hiding our family, so how could they encroach on?"

The young man sneered, "Can Wang Pengzu be so harsh in his governance? Didn't Zhu Duke hear the nursery rhymes in Jicheng say: Zhu Qiubo is well-known in the palace, and five capsules are in Zaolang. Even if Zhu Duke has never heard of it, he still hopes to be the new governor, and hasn't the governor heard it?"

The "Zhuobo" in this nursery rhyme is the old man. This man is named Zhu Shuo, whose courtesy name is Qiu Bo, is a wealthy family in Youzhou. He was once a wealthy man in Wang Jun's house. He was extremely corrupt and corrupt during his tenure. He was both greedy and cruel during his tenure as an official, and both Wang Jun's son-in-law Zao Song were greedy and scattered the people's wealth. Therefore, this nursery rhyme was ridiculed by the people. After Wang Pengzu's death, Zhu Shuo attempted to bribe Lu Yao, Zu Ti and others with a large sum of money to protect their positions, but he was completely unable to enter. He was afraid that he would be controlled by others, so he tried his best to encourage all families to join the new governor and the governor to make things difficult for him.

This time, Lu Yao summoned a competition of warriors in the army, and all furniture sent their children to watch the ceremony. Zhu Shuo was afraid that some of them would be recruited by the military government, so he did not hesitate to come in person as the clan leader, in order to suppress the children of various families without wavering. Who knew that the tribes in Youzhou were not a solid piece of solid body after all, and who would really be enemies with the officials of Fang Zhen who represented the authority of the court? Not to mention being suppressed, someone refuted his words on the spot.

The academic style of northern Xinjiang is not as prosperous as that of the Central Plains. Few people from the wealthy families have a deep understanding of the classics and history. Most of them are domineering local heroes and right-handed styles, and they are inevitably a bit rough and tough. Zhu Shuo is even more arrogant. When he is angry, he doesn't even think about it carefully. He picks up a squid at his hand and throws it over, cursing: "You little kid, how dare you call me my name!"

Unexpectedly, his technique was inaccurate. The calves were so bad that it was a thousand miles away. He flew over about a foot of the young man and hit the eyebrows of the person sitting behind him. The calves were made of cow horns and were inlaid with gold and jade. They were both heavy and hard, and the corners of the man's eyebrows were cracked and blood suddenly emerged.

Everyone present had their own positions. Since watching the military exercises, they had been controversial for several hours, and their mouths were dry and their hearts were upset. This time, they were like adding fire to the rolling boiling oil. I don’t know who started to start, and dozens of people screamed and formed a ball. The romances of various families outside the tent also participated, and the rounds and rolls were even more lively. After a moment, someone wanted to draw his sword to face each other.

Although Zhu Shuo acted violently, he was old and could not take any action. In just a moment, he was beaten to his eyes, his mouth was crooked, and his head was dizzy. He collapsed on the ground at some point, and his stomach was accidentally stepped on by someone, and his body was arched like shrimps. The severe pain made him awake and he hurriedly shouted: "Stop quickly! Don't make a big deal! This is a killing person in the military camp!"

After all, it was his ex-Youzhou Biejia, and he finally knew the importance of it. These words made sense. Unfortunately, everyone was fighting, so who could listen to the advice? Zhu Shuozheng shouted loudly, but someone scolded him angrily: "Old man! It's not the trouble you have caused!" Before he finished speaking, a punch flew into the slanting thorn and knocked down two front teeth.

Zhu Shuo coughed repeatedly, and when he was about to fight back, he suddenly heard the sound of horns ringing from all directions, and then the roar rang like a tsunami: "General Pingbei has an order, and private fights are strictly prohibited in the army, and those who violate the crime will be killed without mercy!"

"General Pingbei has an order that private fights are strictly prohibited in the army, and those who commit crimes will be killed without mercy!"

"General Pingbei has an order that private fights are strictly prohibited in the army, and those who commit crimes will be killed without mercy!"

The roars went straight up to the night sky, and countless birds flew away. The sound was neat and uniform. Although it came from thousands of people, it was as clear as one person's words. It stopped after repeated three times.

"I'll go to your Pingbei General! I'm a child of the Tian family of Yan State. Who scared me?" A strong man could fight and waving his fists and laughed.

Before the laughter fell, a sharp roar started, and a carved feathered arrow broke through the air and entered the strong man's throat. The power contained in the bow and arrow led him to fly backwards. The sharp arrow burst out from his neck, nailing the strong man firmly to the beams and pillars supporting the tent.
