Chapter 128 Expansion 2

In the past, Yulin was selected from the annual "congtai riding and shooting", and this expansion of recruitment has saved a lot of tedious procedures. According to Lou Lu's proposal, people were sent to build a huge school training ground at the camp in Handan City as a place to assess bows and horse riding and shooting. At the same time, the viewing hall is open, allowing nobles and ordinary people to come in to watch the on-site assessment to show fairness.

As soon as the news of Yulin's selection spread, the state of Zhao suddenly caused a sensation. You should know that Yulin has always been the guard camp next to the master. The selection is extremely strict, but after a few years of service, most of them will be released as officers. Therefore, although the Yulin army is an army, it is famous for the officer reserve regiment of the State of Zhao. The children of the State of Zhao are all proud to join Yulin.

In the past, when the selection of Congtai riding and shooting, only a few dozen people were allowed to enter the camp every year, and they were all children of the public or family. Today, the selection conditions of the master's father have been greatly reduced for the first time, giving a large number of middle and high-level officials the opportunity to enter the Yulin. This move is undoubtedly a "Yulin fever". The young officials and children with strong martial arts all over the country have visited the countryside and came to Handan to try their skills with clerical certificates.

On the first day of the audition, Zhao Xin got up early. As soon as the genius finished his breakfast, he went out in high spirits.

When I arrived at the school practice, I saw Lou Huan sitting on the stage, looking at myself with a smile. Zhao Xin hurried forward and bowed and said, "See the floor."

Lou slowly stood up, smiled and picked up Zhao Xin, 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, Lieutenant Zhao was still a young man, and he was inevitably sleepy. He thought he had to wait for the family, but he didn't expect that as soon as he sat down, you had already arrived.

Zhao Xin looked ashamed and said with some embarrassment, "What Lou Xiang said, you can always get up so early, and it's my rudeness to be late."

Lou waved his hand with a smile and said, "Zhao Duwei misunderstood me. As a civil official, I have been in the army for more than 20 years. I have been used to the habit of getting up early in the army, so it's not surprising that I get up early."

Only then did Zhao Xin think of Lou Huanyun and Wen Yunwu, who had been in the Zhao army for many years and had been a general. Later, in order to increase the master's control in the court, he took off his robe and joined the civilian team.

The selection and assessment was held on time (9:00 a.m.), and now it is just past the hour, and there is still more than half an hour away. The audience was also sparsely populated. Only a small number of candidates and spectators waited outside the school training ground and were stopped by Zhao soldiers.

It was still early, and it was boring for Lou to sit slowly, so he got up and hit a set of military fists. Zhao Xin looked at it with a smile. He saw that although Lou's fists and feet were not happy, he was surprisingly stable. At that time, his martial arts were not weak. Although he was not a master, he must be a fierce general when he was young.

After playing a set of boxing, Lou slowly took a deep breath and stopped. Reaching out to take the towel handed over by Zhao Xin and wiped the sweat on his forehead, he looked at Zhao Xin with a smile and asked, "I heard that you are very good at martial arts, and even the fierce general Shi Hu in the army is defeated by you. It's really rare at a young age."

Zhao Xin smiled and said modestly, "The Lou Xiang praised me. General Shengshi's last general was just speculation. He took advantage of his contempt for me and was lucky to sneak up. If General Shi comes with all his strength, the last general will not even have a chance of winning.

Although Zhao Xin said so, he didn't think so at all. If half a year ago, Zhao Xin's self-paying strength did not match Shi Hu, but today it is different. The "Seven Art of Yin Fu" taught by Wang Xun is different from any popular martial arts and moves in the world. It is similar to the cultivation of self-cultivation advocated by Taoists, focusing on the cultivation of internal breathing. It is extremely difficult to get started, and it grows slowly in the early stage, but once it is penetrated, the skill will grow rapidly. Although in just half a year, Zhao Xin's martial arts has increased a lot, and today's Shi Hu is probably no longer his opponent.

Besides, Zhao Xin has experienced the training of the battlefield in the past six months, and his strength is no longer what it used to be. You should know that martial arts is shallow on paper. Relying on the master's teaching but having no practical experience, it is difficult to become a big weapon after all. Only through the test of life and death in the battlefield can we integrate and truly understand.

Lou looked at the usual extreme speech, but in fact, he was secretly paying attention to the change of Zhao Xin's expression. He saw that although Zhao Xin was young and ambitious, he did not show too much arrogance and complacency, and his words and behavior were quite decent. I couldn't help nodding my head secretly, thinking that the person selected by the master was really excellent and could bear the great responsibility. I couldn't help but appreciate this teenager a little more.

He saw that although Zhao Xin respected him, he seemed to have an attitude towards Shangguan. He smiled and took Zhao Xin's arm affectionately and said, "Zhao Xin, your uncle Li Wei has been friends with me for many years and has worked together, which can be regarded as an old acquaintance. Your father Zhao Jian became famous a little later, but now he is also a fellow minister and a colleague. So you don't have to be polite between you and me in private. If you don't mind it, just call me Shibo.

Zhao Xin naturally felt boring when he bowed and saluted every day. Since Lou Huan was so generous, there was no reason for him to refuse. Hearing this, he smiled and shouted, "Then I won't be polite. See Shibo."

The two looked at each other and smiled. After chatting for a while, although Lou Huan is in a high position, he is not heavy. His speech and behavior is also modest and polite. He is not as domineering as often as those who are in a high position. On the contrary, talking with him gives people a feeling of spring breeze. Zhao Xin gradually let go, and the conversation and laughter were much more casual.

However, it was getting closer and closer. A large number of participants and spectators gathered together outside the school training ground. Seeing this, Lou slowly ordered the guards to open the door and put the participants in according to the serial number.

This time, there are more than 4,600 children of the Liang family who submitted applications to join Yulin. The master's plan is to expand Yulin to more than 1,000 people in the two camps, so he plans to select more than 700 people from them. In this way, the elimination ratio should be one out of six or seven people. Although it is still very high, it is much simpler to compare the strict selection at the time of "Congtai riding and shooting".

Since it is a selection of Yulin, the project of investigation is still a bow and horse riding. It is divided into two types, riding and shooting. All choose to take 20 people as a group. Ten of the equestrians will participate in the riding and shooting competition, five of them will enter the rematch, and finally the final 700 people will be decided.

Since it is an audition, the quality of the applicants is naturally uneven. Although most of the people who dare to sign up are very confident in themselves, it is not ruled out that there are many people who try it with the mentality of fish eyes. After a competition, most of the scenes were terrible. Some fell from the horse's back, some shot the arrow directly out of the sky, and a contestant stabbed the horse's back with an arrow in a panic, causing the ** war horse to rush to the crowd. Fortunately, there was a skilled Zhao Guo's horse next to it, which did not cause a big disaster.

Zhao Xin began to look at it with great interest. He carefully assessed it according to the situation of the players, and gradually became a little tired after a long time. I just felt that these people were repeating one after another, and couldn't help yawning. When it came to the building beside him, he looked indifferently and looked at the field as usual. At most, he just picked up the tea cup and took a few sips. At other times, he looked at it calmly and carefully. Zhao Xin was both admired and ashamed when he saw it. He thought that after all, he was a person who had been in the same country, and his temperament was different.

Noticing Zhao Xin's continuous yawning, Lou slowly turned his eyes and asked with a smile, "What's the matter? Do you think it's boring? Why don't you go back first? I'll just keep an eye on it.

Even if Zhao's confidence meant to run away, Lou Huan said how embarrassed he nodded, so he had to shake his head and cheer up to watch the game.

The preliminary competition is relatively cumbersome. Only after two markets selected more than 1,100 people to enter the rematch. After half an hour of half-time break and lunch, Lou slowly looked at the sky and motioned for the game to continue.

After the screening of the preliminary competition, the quality of the rematch is naturally much higher, and the competition is also fierce. You often catch up with me, and finally win with a narrow advantage. Zhao Xin also cheered up and watched with great interest the next players fighting with each other.

It was not until the sunset that Yulin's selection competition was over. In the end, the 700 winning players sat on the horse one by one, listening to their chest arrogantly. Relatively, the frustrated people drooped their heads dejected and their faces full of loss.

Lou Huan asked people to register and check the identities of these people one by one, and then let them go home separately and report to Yulin Daying tomorrow. Zhao Xin was so tired that he only felt more tired than fighting a war, so he declined Lou's invitation to stay in the camp for dinner, and hurried home on the pretext that he had something to do at home.
