Chapter 30 Flag Officer
Chen Sanshi was sweating profusely, even his eyes were soaked with sweat, and his physical strength was almost exhausted, but if he gritted his teeth, it seemed that he could hold on for a while longer.

This is probably the chemical reaction produced by combining [Amazing Endurance] with the Haoran Breathing Method?

However, his win was not easy.

After all, Xu Bin is also a military officer who has practiced martial arts for several years and has made some achievements in blood training.

This battle helped him a lot.

[Kung Fu: Basic Spear Skills for Soldiers (Beginners)]

[Progress: (52/500)]

[Effect: Swift gun power, amazing endurance]

He experienced the effect of these two terms firsthand.

I guess if it were anyone else at the same level, they would be stabbed to death by him within seven steps before they could even draw their sword!

His shooting skills are not only durable but also swift.

Long and fierce!
"it is good!"

On the high platform, Xiang Tingchun cheered loudly with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

The soldiers watching the battle applauded and cheered.

"fierce!"

Zhu Tong's voice was the loudest.

Xu Wencai stretched his neck and watched with interest: "I see that Brother Chen has a kingly aura. He will become a great man in the future!"

"Look, it's useless."

Zhu Tong scolded him, "You should think about yourself first. It's been ten days and you haven't even learned a single skill. Just wait to be sent out to build the city wall!"

"..."

"Brother Chen is really amazing!"

Song Yan was full of admiration.

Xu Bin felt hopeless.

He lost to a novice in front of hundreds of people.

There was no chance for further advancement in his military career.

Not only that, this battle also offended Chen Sanshi.

In the past, he had treated her badly and didn't even look at her in a favorable light.

This time he acted ruthlessly and showed no mercy. If he was held a grudge against Chen Sanshi, wouldn't he be able to make things difficult for him when Chen Sanshi ascended to a high position?
"You win."

Xu Bin picked up the knife and left in disgrace.

Chen Sanshi didn't even have time to speak.

Xiang Tingchun, who was standing on the high platform, was very satisfied with this competition. He looked at the civil servants who came with him:
"When Wang Zhi told me this before, I didn't believe it. But now it seems that our Poyang Qianhu Division has really produced a great general!
"Zhang County Magistrate, is everything ok?"

"no problem."

County Magistrate Zhang has already checked the military register: "After I return, I will report to the Liangzhou Military Governor's Office and clearly state Chen Sanshi's qualifications for selection."

This job should have been done by the magistrate himself.

However, the county magistrate died and the new one had not yet been transferred, so he was temporarily replaced by the county magistrate.

"Ah."

Xiang Tingchun nodded, signaling Chen Sanshi to step down first and continue to assess the rest of the newcomers.

"There is one person who has developed Qi and blood, but how many people have learned spear skills within ten days?"

Out of the thirty-eight people, six stood up.

Xiang Tingchun ordered, "Pair up in pairs and fight for me."

"Yes!"

The six people received the order.

Within an incense stick of time, the competition was over and everyone's performance could basically be seen.

"Song Yan is good. He should be able to cultivate Qi and blood in a few days."

Xiang Tingchun pondered and said, "Qualification for selection in the second half of next year should be no problem.

"Your name is Zhu... Zhu Tong? You're not bad!

"This group of people can produce seven warriors, which is the highest number in Poyang County's history.

"Okay, you guys step back first.

"As for the rest, just show me your standing practice."

Thirty-two people were practicing standing meditation.

There were about fifteen or sixteen people who had not even learned the standing meditation.

The most exaggerated one was a middle-aged man with a goatee who couldn’t do a single move!

Xiang Tingchun frowned and didn't have the patience to read on.

"Okay, that's enough for the test.

"Chen Sanshi!"

"Here!" Chen Sanshi replied.

"From now on, you will be promoted to flag officer. In addition to the benefits a flag officer should receive, you will also be given a top-quality warhorse!"

Xiang Tingchun looked to the side and said, "Wang Zhi, you are the one who brought these people here. From now on, they will be under your control. Do you have a position under you?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Wang Zhi quickly replied, "There are quite a few empty ones."

"..."

Xiang Tingchun went on to say: "The rest of you, fill in the vacancies below the centurions. If you make breakthroughs in your cultivation or have military merits in the future, you can be promoted!" After he presided over the assessment, he left in a hurry.

Leave each centurion behind to handle the subsequent trivial matters.

First, the soldiers are divided into levels, and then it is decided who is in charge.

Every year when the vanguard officers come to pick up people, it is also the time when people from above are sent to investigate the empty salaries.

In recent years, the inspections have become increasingly strict, and the phenomenon of empty salaries has been reduced a lot, but it is still not completely non-existent.

The full staffing of a thousand-household unit should be around 1120 people.

The number of people reported by Poyang County is about one thousand.

In fact, there were only more than 900 people.

In other words, there are still vacancies for nearly a hundred people.

There were more than thirty people, and those who could handle the inspection were picked up by the military officers to fill the vacancies.

Chen Sanshi's subordinates are also not fully staffed, with only seven people.

There was Zhu Tong who came here on his own initiative, four of his fellow villagers, and two who were sent as exiles.

Soon, there were only two or three old, weak, sick and disabled people left on the field, and no one wanted them. It would be better to just hire beggars from the street.

"You can't even stand in horse stance? Send him to the next county to repair the city wall!"

"No, no, no, sir, I can do the chores!"

"Handyman, can you feed the horse?"

"I can learn!"

"Learn, who has the time to teach you? Stop talking nonsense and drag him away!"

Xu Wencai was one of those that no one wanted.

"Brother Chen!"

Seeing that he was about to be carried away, Xu Wencai rushed over as if he had found a life-saving straw and grabbed Chen Sanshi's arm tightly: "Are you short of people? Let me follow you, let me follow you!"

"Don't come and harm us!"

Zhu Tong was extremely disgusted: "In the future, when we go to the battlefield, you won't know how to do anything, and you will be a burden to us!"

"Who said I can't do anything?"

Xu Wencai vowed, "Brother Chen, I, Xu Wencai, know everything about astronomy and geography, am good at deploying troops and managing government affairs, and except for my age and inability to learn martial arts, I know everything. If you want me, I promise you will not lose out!"

"Cut the nonsense."

Captain Liu gave a look and two soldiers came up and held Xu Wencai down.

At this time, Chen Sanshi clasped his fists and said, "Captain Liu, give this man to me."

"you sure?"

Captain Liu looked confused and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll just take up one of your positions for nothing? You should think it through."

The issue of the empty salary has nothing to do with the newcomer Chen Sanshi.

In other words, he doesn't need to gather numbers; the stronger the fighting power of his men, the better.

"fine."

Chen Sanshi insisted: "I will ask him to feed my horse later."

"Let's do it."

Captain Liu didn't say much: "It's up to you. If you regret it, tell me anytime."

"call……"

No need to repair the city wall, Xu Wencai breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Chen really has a good vision!"

"He is just too kind-hearted and was fooled by you!" Zhu Tong scolded.

About half an hour later, almost all the soldiers were assigned.

The person in charge of looking after the warehouse handed Chen Sanshi a few notes and told him that he could take the notes to collect the resources.

There is blood-replenishing soup, weapons, and a horse.

"I still owe Officer Xu a bow."

Chen Sanshi was not a person who refused to pay his debts, but he could not find Xu Bin in the crowd for a while: "Forget it, let's go check on the horses first."

horse.

It is a very precious strategic resource.

Not all flag officers have it.

The entire Poyang Qianhu Suo had less than thirty horses in total.

"Officer Chen, this horse of yours is no ordinary horse!"

The chief of the warehouse said with a smile: "This is a top-grade white swan that the captain spent a lot of effort to get from the capital. There are only two in total, and he is willing to give you one, which shows how much he values ​​you. Chen Qiguan, you have a bright future!"

He ordered the groom to bring out a fine horse from the stable.

The horse is snow-white all over, with strong muscles but well-proportioned body. When the wind blows, its mane flutters in the wind like clouds in the sky.

"Chen Qiguan, give it a try? But you have to be careful."

The master reminded: "This horse has a very fierce temper."

"I just like the strong ones."

Chen Sanshi jumped onto his horse.
