Chapter 128: Expanding the Army (2)
ps: I haven't finished writing yet, please read it in an hour. I'm sorry
In the past, Yulin people were selected from the annual "Congtai Riding and Shooting", and this expansion of recruitment saved a lot of cumbersome procedures. According to Lou Yan's proposal, people were sent to build a huge school training ground in the Daying in Handan City as a place to assess bow and horse riding and shooting. At the same time, the viewing ground was opened, and the nobles and the people were allowed to enter to watch the on-site assessment to show fairness.[]
As soon as the news of selecting Yulin spread, there was a sensation in Zhao State. You should know that Yulin has always been the personal guard camp around the Lord's father. The selection was extremely strict, but after serving for a few years, most of them would be released as officers. Therefore, although the Yulin Army was a first army, it was famous for its officer preparation regiment in Zhao State. The nobles and relatives of Zhao State were all proud to join Yulin.
In the past, when the Congtai cavalry and shooting were selected, only a few dozen people were allowed to enter the camp every year, and they were all children of public or aristocratic families. Today, the selection conditions for the father's first time have dropped significantly, giving a large number of children of middle and high-level officials the opportunity to enter the Yulin. This move undoubtedly exposes a "Yulin fever". Young children from all over the country who are highly skilled in martial arts bid farewell to the village and come to Handan with document certificates to try their skills.
On the first day of the audition, Zhao Xin got up early. The genius had already used up his breakfast just now and got out in high spirits.
When he arrived at the school training ground, he saw Lou Yan sitting on the stage, looking at him with a happy expression. Zhao Xin hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to pay homage, "See Lou Xiang."
Lou Yan stood up, smiled and helped Zhao Xin up, and said, "Zhao Duwei is a punctual person. I deliberately got up early today and came here in advance to see if there were any mistakes. Originally, Zhao Duwei was a young man, so it was inevitable that he would sleep. He thought he had to wait for some family, but he didn't expect that you had arrived just after sitting down."
Zhao Xin looked ashamed and said embarrassedly, "What Lou Xiang said, you can get up so early, so I'm too late."
Lou smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Emperor Zhao misunderstood what I mean. Don't look at me as a civil servant, but I have been in the army for more than 20 years. I have long been used to the habit of getting up early in the army, so it is not surprising that I get up early."
Zhao Xin then remembered Lou Yanyun and Wen Yunwu. He had been in the Zhao army for many years and was a general. Later, in order to increase the master's control in the court, he took off his battle robe and joined the civil servant team.
The selection and assessment were held at the right time of Si (9 am). It is just past Chen, and it is still half an hour away. The off-field population is also sparse, with only a small number of candidates and spectators waiting outside the school practice field, but they were stopped by Zhao's soldiers and were not allowed to approach.
It was still early, and Lou Yan was bored while sitting, so he got up and shot a long fist in the army. Zhao Xin smiled and watched. Although Lou Yan's fist was not fast, he was surprisingly steady. His martial arts foundation was not weak at that time. Although he was not a master, he must have been a fierce general when he was young.
After playing a set of boxing techniques, Lou Yan took a deep breath and stopped. He reached out to take the towel handed over by Zhao Xin and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead. He smiled and asked, "I heard that you have very good martial arts skills. Even Shi Hu, the general in the army, was defeated by your hands. At a young age, it is really rare."
Zhao Xin smiled and said modestly, "Lou Xiang praised it. Being able to defeat General Shi is just a trick. He took advantage of his despise of me and was lucky enough to attack him. If General Shi had given his all to do his best, the general would not even have any chance of winning."
Although Zhao Xin said this, he didn't think so in his heart. If Zhao Xin had no strength to beat Shi Hu half a year ago, he was different today. The "Seven Arts of Yin Fu in the Sutra" taught by Wang Xu is different from any popular martial arts and moves in the world. It is somewhat similar to the self-cultivation technique advocated by Taoism, focusing on the cultivation of internal breath. It is extremely difficult to get started, and it grows slowly in the early stage, but once it is penetrated, the skills will grow rapidly. Therefore, although in just half a year, Zhao Xin's martial arts have increased a lot, and Shi Hu today is probably no longer his opponent.
Moreover, Zhao Xin has experienced the training of the battlefield in the past six months, and his strength has long been different from the past. You must know that martial arts is always shallow, but relying on masters to teach but without practical experience, it is difficult to become a great person. Only by experiencing the test of life and death on the battlefield can you understand and truly understand.
