My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 140 Yan Liangwen Chou Conscription

"Drive... drive..."

On the mountains and plains where autumn is in full swing, a maroon-red horse gallops recklessly.

The man on horseback was mighty and majestic, waving the whip in mid-air, as if he was reluctant to let it fall.

The horse and its owner seem to cherish each other, they can feel the owner's pity, and they run even faster.

Not far away, several people dressed as sergeants were talking with each other, and their words were full of compliments and admiration for the man on horseback.

After the man rode a steed around the plains, he came to a few people and stopped.

The leading middle-aged man stepped forward and took the reins of the horse, and said with a smile: "How about it, does this horse meet Fengxian's wishes?"

The tall and tall Lu Bu got off the horse without any clumsiness, and said with a loud smile: "It is indeed a good horse..." Glancing at the middle-aged man, he stopped smiling, and said with a frown: "That's right, I'm afraid that this horse will be a good horse." It's a coincidence."

The middle-aged man's expression changed, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, and then he said as usual: "My dear brother, this red rabbit horse and you are just like a BMW with a hero, why is there no chance? If you don't dislike it, This red rabbit horse will be your mount from now on."

Lu Bu raised his thick eyebrows, and reached out to stroke the mane on the horse's neck, as if he couldn't put it down.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man stepped forward and said: "My virtuous brother has the talent to hold the sky and sail the sea. No one in the world admires it. Just like what is said in the "Dragon and Tiger List of the Great Han Dynasty", the valor of my virtuous brother is the world's most powerful talent." Recognized as the number one big man, if you want to get fame and wealth, it's not as good as getting something out of your pocket!"

The corners of Lu Bu's mouth twitched slightly, which seemed to be quite useful. He had also read "The Big Han Dragon and Tiger List", and he had to revisit it every day before going to bed.

The middle-aged man had been observing the changes in Lu Bu's expression. Seeing this, he took a step forward, stared at Lu Bu and said, "Didn't you hear that a good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a good minister chooses a master to serve?"

There was a flash of emotion in Lu Bu's eyes. He looked around and saw that there were no outsiders, so he sighed quietly.

The middle-aged man chuckled, and said: "There are many heroes in today's world, just like the heroes on the "Big Han Dragon and Tiger List", which one is not like this, let's talk about Xu Huang, Xu Gongming, this person before However, a member of the county official, if he hadn't chosen a virtuous master, how could he have the prestige he has today?"

Lu Bu nodded in agreement. Xu Huang's deeds have already spread to Luoyang, and the record of riding a thousand is even more desirable.

The middle-aged man Nian Xu said: "It's a pity, brother Yu has always felt worthless for the virtuous brother, how can the virtuous brother pursue Ding Jianyang and make a career."

Lu Bu looked up at him, his expression was tangled, and he seemed to want to say something, but when he thought of Xu Huang's great achievements, he felt sore, and his own record was not as good as the top ten, which is reasonable.

Sighing, Lu Bu said bluntly, "Oh, it's rare to meet a wise master."

The middle-aged man's expression changed, and he said hastily: "Brother Yu is here for the future of my virtuous brother."

"Oh?!"

Lu Bu's eyes lit up, he grabbed the middle-aged man's arm, and asked, "Brother, in today's world, who can be called the hero of the world?"

"Hahaha..." the middle-aged man Nianxu laughed, and looked at Lu Bu's men next to him.

Seeing this, Lu Bu hurriedly backed away, "Brother, it's okay to say."

The middle-aged man watched those people recede, Nian Xu said: "I surveyed the whole world, looked at all the ministers, and thought that none of them are as good as..."

Lu Bu excitedly said, "Who?"

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and said in a sonorous tone, "Dong Zhuo!"

"what?"

Lu Bu was shocked.

It was only yesterday that Dong Zhuo fled into the city in desperation, but today someone said he was a hero, how could Lu Bu be happy.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man immediately burst out laughing.

"Brother, a hero like you, even hearing Dong Zhuo's name turns pale. Dong Zhuo is a true hero! Hahaha..."

Lv Bu smiled instead of anger, "Brother really knows how to joke, how could you use this thief as a hero, Dong Zhuo is domineering, has a heart of rebellion, full of civil and military affairs, no one knows, but you..."

"My dear brother." The middle-aged man explained: "You only know the outside, but not the inside. You only know one but not the other."

"Oh?"

Seeing Lu Bu's puzzled expression, the middle-aged man pulled him aside, and tried to lure him carefully.

···
"conscription?"

"Yes, I heard that 5000 people are needed, but it seems that there is still some assessment, and I don't know if it will be strict or not."

"What is the main assessment? You are a scholar, so tell us quickly, we are all illiterate."

In Anyi County, a group of people gathered outside the guard.

A young man dressed as a scribe was standing at the door explaining the contents of the notice.

"To put it simply, you are hired to go to battle to kill the enemy. The minimum salary is guaranteed to be one bucket of food per month. When you arrive on the battlefield, you will be rewarded with one bucket for killing one person, two buckets for killing two people, and so on. Otherwise, not only will there be no reward, but your head will also be beheaded."

There was a lot of discussion among the crowd, and a dark-skinned man asked, "Then what does the second point mean?"

The young scholar took a look and said, "The second criterion is the selection criteria. It says that the age is between [-] and [-]. Those over [-] are not accepted, and those under [-] are not accepted."

"what!"

Many people sighed, the salary of one bucket of grain a month was just missed.

They don't dislike conscription, but yearn for it very much. After all, they can make contributions and earn food when they go to the battlefield.

This is different from the compulsory conscription by the imperial court in the past. The imperial court’s conscription not only did not earn food, but also paid a lot of money. Only after death would there be a small amount of pension, which is not enough for the family for ten days and a half months.

"By the way, did it say how much the pension is?"

The young scribe nodded, pointed to the sixth article, and said: "If unfortunately died on the battlefield, Mrs. Wei will regularly send a bucket of grain to the family members every month, and those with young children in the family can also enter the school for free. The pension will not be issued until the child grows up and has the ability to take care of himself, and it also said that the child can work directly in Wei's in the future, and the treatment will be favorable."

"Can do things for Wei Shi!"

"That's a good thing."

"Er Gouzi, let's sign up, one bucket of food every month."

"I think you want to die. Who doesn't know that you have three and a half children to support, and I don't have a son, so I won't go."

The young scribe standing on the steps looked at Er Gouzi who was talking, and said with a smile: "If you can kill the enemy and make meritorious service on the battlefield, after returning triumphantly, you can directly join the city guard army or the city guard team. You should be treated the same. You know."

Er Gouzi's eyes lit up, he hurriedly bowed his hands to the young scribe, and said excitedly, "Is this true?"

The young scribe looked at the notice with a laugh, pointed to the eighth article, and said: "It is written clearly, if you can kill five thieves, you can apply to join the city guard, and if you kill ten, you can directly join If there are more than ten city guards, they will be directly awarded the rank of instructor, and there will also be a house with three entrances, as well as a hundred stones of food, and a horse..."

"My God, give me the house!"

The young scribe nodded and said, "Not only that, but if one of you can kill the thieves like Xu Jiaotou, you can also get the legendary earth evil weapon."

"Wow, I can get the Pangu Axe!"

"The Dragon Slaying Knife is really powerful!"

"You know what a fart, Coach Zhang's Zhangba Snake Spear is the weapon to kill the enemy."

In the crowd, two men with thick eyebrows and big eyes looked at each other.

"Brother Wen Chou, conscription is also here, and the pay is good. Shall we go to General Yuan?"

The other man scratched his messy hair, frowned and said, "I don't know either."

The two looked at each other, and both saw a trace of hesitation in each other's eyes.

At this moment, Zhang Fei came out of the guard with a small team. Seeing so many people gathered at the door, he curiously asked the young scholar: "Is there no one to sign up yet? I have all the props for the assessment ready."

The young scribe hastily bowed and said, "This announcement has just been posted. If you want people to sign up, you have to explain it carefully."

Zhang Fei raised his thick eyebrows, looked at the onlookers, and shouted loudly: "If you are a man, don't hesitate, hurry up and come a few people to go in with me for the assessment. You are still hesitating with such a good condition?"

Many people in the crowd were Zhang Fei's fans, and they were all eager to try, but no one was the first to stand out.

Zhang Fei raised his thick eyebrows, pointed to the two strongest-looking men in the crowd, and said, "Hey, you two, do you want to sign up?"

Yan Liangwenchou, who was standing in the crowd, froze for a while, facing Zhang Fei's gaze, he was in a dilemma for a while.

Someone next to him said: "Hey, the two strong men are in good shape, go, go, you go first and help us find the way."

"That's right, the two strong men are extremely brave at first glance, and their stature is no worse than that of Coach Zhang. Go and help everyone find the way."

Zhang Fei was in charge of the assessment today, and he was impatient waiting in the guard for a long time. Seeing the two men squirming, he said angrily: "That's shit, and you compare it with me. I think they can't even pass the first level." If you can’t get through, you’ll just have a whole body of flesh.”

As he said that, Zhang Fei casually pointed at the crowd, who happened to be the Er Gouzi from before, and said, "What about you, do you dare to go in for the assessment?"

Er Gouzi has admired Zhang Fei for a long time. At this time, he was named by the idol, so he didn't care so much, so he ran up and said, "Why don't you dare, don't look at me Er Gouzi is not tall, I am not strong enough small."

Seeing that someone catered to him, Zhang Fei immediately smiled and pulled Er Gouzi to praise him.

Compared with Er Gouzi's "bravery", Yan Liangwen, who was hesitant in the crowd, suddenly became a negative example, and even the people standing next to him began to criticize them.

Perhaps because of being pointed at by others, or because he wanted to prove himself, Yan Liang pushed aside the crowd, stood in front of Zhang Fei, and said in a loud voice: "Report, I, Yan Liang, from Anping County, come here for any assessment, hum! "

Wen Chou's good brother came out, and he stopped coddling, and also pulled the crowd away, "I, Wen Chou, also signed up."

Zhang Fei laughed and praised his wit, which inspired him to learn and use it flexibly. He did not expect to catch two good big fish.

Someone signed up, and then more than a dozen people went to the young scribes to register for the roster.

After Zhang Fei saw 20 people, he led them directly into the guard.

Signing up is just the first step, the next twenty people will have to pass a series of assessments, and only after passing the next series of assessments will they officially join the expeditionary force formed by the Wei family.

"Okay, which one of you will come first?"

When everyone came to the backyard of the guard, Zhang Fei laughed.

They saw a bunch of strange facilities in the yard, except for one archery target they knew, and they had never seen any of them.

Zhang Fei was too lazy to bother, and directly copied the setting of the obstacle course in Haojia Village, and added an item of archery.

"Coach Zhang, what's the test?" Er Gouzi looked confused. He was the first to sign up and should be the first to be assessed.

Only then did Zhang Fei remember that he hadn't demonstrated yet.

Hearing this, he took off his coat, revealing the stab-proof suit inside, and said, "I'll only run once, and you should watch carefully, if you miss one item in a while, or if you dare to play tricks, you will cancel the test result directly."

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing the words.

Zhang Fei trotted to the starting point, moved his hands and feet, and sprinted out amidst the sound of the gong being played by his deputy.

The other deputy quickly turned on the hourglass and started timing.

At the same time, he explained: "If the assessment has not been completed before the sand in the hourglass falls, it is also considered a failure of the assessment."

"Ah, there is still time to count." Er Gouzi looked at Zhang Fei who had easily climbed over several wooden walls, thinking about the possibility of passing the assessment.

On the other hand, Yan Liangwen looked at each other with an ugly smile. They thought the assessment was quite simple, not as difficult as they imagined.

At this time, Zhang Fei ran to the last item, bowed his bow and set an arrow.

Shhhhhh... the three arrows landed steadily on the bull's-eye.

The deputy turned off the hourglass, and there was still half of the sand in the funnel. The two dogs saw it, hey, there is a lot of sand.

Zhang Fei trotted back, and said breathlessly: "Okay, according to the order of registration, you come first."

Er Gouzi chuckled, thinking that he should be fine. Zhang Fei still had half of the sand left after running, and he had at most a handful of sand left.

when!
Er Gouzi ran wildly.

when!
Er Gouzi became a pug on the second wooden wall.

"After the sand has fallen, the assessment has failed, so leave the venue quickly."

Zhang Fei sighed helplessly. Although the young man actively participated, his strength is worrying.

Er Gouzi was carried out, and his breathing was as heavy as a bellows, which showed that he really did his best.

It was Yan Liang's second turn.

Zhang Fei squinted at him, Yan Liang snorted coldly.

He rushed out amidst the sound of the gong.

Easily climb over the ground net, cross the single-plank bridge, climb over the wooden wall, and climb the sky-reaching rope... Sigh, the three arrows hit the bull's-eye firmly.

"Fuck!"

"Grandpa's."

"So strong?"

when!
"The assessment is over, it will take... sixty breaths."

The deputy weighed the sand and looked at Zhang Fei in disbelief.

Zhang Fei was also dumbfounded. After dropping the hourglass, it takes 120 breaths, and [-] breaths is half, which is exactly the same as his speed just now.

Looking at Yan Liang who was panting slightly, Zhang Fei suddenly felt that he had found a treasure.

At this time, Wen Chou, who saw Yan Liang's good grades, looked eager to try, and said, "It's my turn, I don't even need sixty breaths for these things."

Zhang Fei didn't dare to underestimate people this time, and said with a smile: "Okay, if you can run to [-] breaths, I will treat you to drink and eat meat tonight."

Wen Cangyan was overjoyed, and licked his lips, "Okay, that's what you said."
