Zhao Junsheng listened to Cao Jiao's words thoughtfully, although he practiced riding and archery is a halfway monk, but he also practiced for more than a year, in addition to going out for business, he practiced riding and archery skills almost every day, shooting an average of five or six hundred arrows a day, and there was also an occasional kind of bow and arrow in hand, everything is in the mastery, as if the arrow target is in front of you, as long as you pull the bow and shoot arrows, you can hit a hundred shots.

Zhao Junsheng feels that this realm should be the automatic adjustment of the body's instinct, it will adjust the shooting angle after a comprehensive analysis of the factors that affect the accuracy, such as wind speed, air humidity, target distance, movement speed and its own movement speed, etc., and at the same time feedback to the brain, without taking the initiative to calculate, you must know that the opportunity to shoot is fleeting, it will not give people time to calculate.

Thinking about that feeling carefully, Zhao Junsheng felt that it seemed to be all within reach, very fresh, but it disappeared quickly, it seems that it is not very easy to perceive it at any time, and it is not a matter of a day or two to master it.

Cao Jiao was already drunk when he left the tent, and on the way back to the tent, a soldier suddenly came out of the side and shouted to him: "Cao Jiao! ”

Cao Jiao stopped trying to open his eyes, and rubbed his face with his hands again, making himself feel a little more energetic, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm just a small soldier, I'm a messenger, someone outside the camp is looking for you!"

"Who?"

"I don't know, it looks like a big official!"

"Okay, I got it!"

Cao Jiao came to the camp gate, saw a few people standing not far away, walked over and asked, "Dare to ask who is looking for Cao?" ”

Xi Yan turned around and smiled, and a personal soldier next to him said: "This is the sixth general of the Right Guard, Xi Yan!" ”

Cao Jiao looked at Xi Yan, hugged his fists and asked: "I've seen General Xi Yan, I don't know what General Xi is looking for?" ”

"Ben General has prepared a little thin wine in the camp, I wonder if Brother Cao is willing to enjoy a few drinks?"

It stands to reason that strangers invite to drink, Cao Jiao can't go anyway, after all, he doesn't have any friendship with this Xi Yan, but after all, Xi Yan is the lord of a building, or a general of the middle army, and he is just a soldier of the baggage battalion, his status is very different, and such a big person comes to invite him in person, if he doesn't go, he really doesn't know how to lift.

Cao Jiao had woken up most of the wine at this time, and after a little thought, he hugged his fists: "I'm panicked and flattered!" ”

"Okay, please!"

Cao Jiao followed Xi Yan to a camp tent in the camp of the Right Guard, which had been arranged, and wine and meat were placed on two small tables.

After taking a seat, Xi Yan kept persuading him to drink, but Cao Jiao couldn't help but drink, so he could only stop tasting it, lest he be drunk.

After three rounds of drinking, Cao Jiao couldn't sit still, he hugged his fists and asked Xi Yan: "I don't know what the house is looking for?" ”

Xi Yan smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, don't worry, eat and drink first, come on!" ”

Cao Jiao said: "If you don't talk about things, you won't be able to drink this wine!" ”

Xi Yan groaned, put down the wine cup and said, "That's it!" That being the case, Ben Jiang said, Brother Cao's performance yesterday and today is an eye-opener, Ben will appreciate it very much, with the talent of Brother Cao nesting in the baggage camp is too condescending, and now Ben will have a vacancy for the master here, as long as Brother Cao is interested, Ben will be vacant, and the establishment of Ben will also find a way for you to change your surname and let you enter my Xianbei clan, so that you can enter the Chinese military establishment is justified, what do you think? ”

Of course Cao Jiao wants to play climbing at heights, who doesn't want to get ahead? It is obviously a good way to enter the sequence of the Chinese soldiers, the Xi family is also a Xianbei family, and it is not bad to take refuge in Xi Yan, but it is not appropriate to change his surname, how can he change his surname to Xianbei surname?

But if you don't change your surname to Xianbei and become a member of the Xianbei tribe, you can't enter the middle soldier sequence. Also, entering the army is what Xianbei Zhuangding must do, and it is an obligation, because the imperial court has distributed pasture, cattle, sheep and horses to them, and Xianbei people also enjoy superior power and enjoy many conveniences and benefits.

Cao Jiao could hear from Xi Yan's words that apart from the official promise of a team leader, there was nothing other substantial! What about pastures, fields, cattle, sheep, horses, servants, and grooms? If you don't give me these, why should I work for the Xianbei people?

Xi Yan saw that Cao Jiao was a little hesitant, he also knew that he would be in too much of a hurry, so he waved his hand to the side, and a personal soldier came over with a wooden box and put it on the low table and opened the lid of the box, only to see that some yellow gold cakes were neatly placed in the wooden box, and his eyes swept roughly, and there were fifty of them.

Cao Jiao's eyes froze, and he looked up at Xi Yan: "What does this mean?" ”

"Joining the Right Guard is a big deal, I know this matter is urgent, you can also think about it slowly, if you think about it, you can come to me! But now there is something I want to ask Brother Cao for help, as long as Brother Cao answers, this box of gold is Brother Cao! ”

Cao Jiao didn't know how he got back to the baggage camp, and he sat outside the tent all night with a wooden box full of gold, enduring fierce struggles and torments in his heart.

After the morning exercise began, he took advantage of the fact that his comrades were all going to gather, immediately hid the wooden box in his luggage and went to the assembly, and when the morning exercise was over and before the meal, he came back to take the wooden box, and hesitantly came to the door of the tooth tent.

Zhao Junsheng came back from the shooting range with a longbow in his hand, he saw Cao Jiao standing outside the tent, and immediately said: "Brother Cao, you came just in time, today I went to practice the art of riding and archery, according to the method you said, it really worked, I have already touched the doorway, but I still have some questions I want to ask you for advice!" ”

Cao Jiao bowed down and responded: "The villain knows everything and says everything!" ”

"What villain is not a villain, you are not allowed to call yourself like this in the future! Hey, you're coming to me for something? Zhao Junsheng asked after finding that Cao Jiao's face was wrong.

"Yes, my subordinates have something I want to report to the captain!"

"Okay, let's go in, let's come in!" Zhao Junsheng greeted and walked into the camp first, and Cao Jiao followed.

Zhao Junsheng hung up the bow and arrows, untied the saber and put it on the desk, poured two cups of tea, and handed one to Cao Jiao, "If you have something, just say it!" ”

Cao Jiao bowed down and took the teacup and put it down, put the wooden box he was holding on the low table and said: "After his subordinates left from the lieutenant last night, they were invited to the camp of the Right Guard, and that person was Xi Yan, the sixth general of the Right Guard, he first promised me the title of the head of the team, and then took out these belongings to let me stay with the captain for the time being to monitor the captain's every move, and report to him once a day!" ”

"Oh?" Zhao Junsheng was shocked in his heart, Xi Yan's gang thought of planting nails beside him to stare at him so quickly, which was beyond his expectations.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Junsheng asked: "The conditions given by Xi Yan are very generous, a team leader, with your situation, it would be difficult to go through the normal channel, why don't you agree to Xi Yan now that there is such a shortcut?" ”

Cao Jiao clenched his fists and said: "Du Wei is right, everyone likes high-ranking officials and Houlu, but Xi Yan wants me to harm Du Wei, which is not acceptable to his subordinates." If your subordinates want to be famous and rich, but they get it with the bow and arrow in their hands, why do they do such a villainous act? ”

Zhao Junsheng looked at Cao Jiao, walked to the table and opened the wooden box, "Yo, Xi Yan's shot is quite generous, one, two, three······ A full fifty gold, he has made a lot of money to deal with me! Brother Cao, since Xi Yan gave it to you, you can take it! ”

"This ······"

"Let me take it for you, you will take it, pie in the sky, don't be in vain! He wants you to report to him every day what I am doing, and you will tell him the truth. ”

Cao Jiao hesitated for a moment, clenched his fists and agreed: "Yes!" ”

"There is one more matter, I want to report to the lieutenant, today on the stage, the marshal asked his subordinates if they would like to be his former colonel!"

Zhao Junsheng thought that Cao Jiao would not report this, but he didn't expect him to say it, so he asked, "Then what did you say?" And what do you think? ”

"After all, An Dashuai is a high-ranking official and marshal, and his subordinates can't refuse in person, so they find a reason to push this matter to Du Wei and Xue Yingtou! The subordinates have thought about it, if they want to enter the middle soldiers, they must have the surname Xianbei, and the subordinates are the sons of the Han family, how can they change the surname Xianbei? Therefore, even if the matter of entering the middle army is settled, the subordinates will not make this plan."

Zhao Junsheng couldn't help but be a little impressed by Cao Jiao, but he didn't expect him to have some integrity.

"Since you don't want to change your Xianbei surname, you can't enter the middle army, this baggage battalion is smaller after all, if you have ambitions, you can't stay here all the time, have you ever thought about entering the town army? With your talents, after entering the town army, at least you are the tooth master, although you have entered the military registration and are soldiers, it is almost impossible to change to civilian registration, but with your ability to promote all the way, it doesn't matter if you are a soldier or not! ”

In this era, the military registration is a cheap industry, and being a soldier in the army is looked down upon, and the soldiers in the army often fight, often there is no return, and almost no one in the Han people is willing to do it, and there is another reason, now the Xianbei people are in power, and the Han people are not willing to give their lives to the Xianbei people.

However, once you become an officer, the situation is different, and the security is much higher, especially for those who have the ability, and they can be rewarded and promoted quickly, and they can be rewarded with fields, pastures, cattle, sheep and horses.

Zhao Junsheng continued: "If you want to enter the Zhenshu Army, I can recommend it to General Pi. The owner of the building may not be able to do it, but it is no problem to be a team leader, how about it? ”

The Zhenshu Army is different, although the Zhenshu Army is also a soldier, but there is no mandatory requirement, and there is no need to change the surname of Xianbei, because the soldiers of the Zhenshu Army themselves are from all ethnic groups, and there are only a small number of Xianbei people.

Cao Jiao couldn't make a decision in a short time, and said to Zhao Junsheng: "Captain, my subordinates haven't thought about it yet!" ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "That's okay, you can think slowly!" In this way, it's not appropriate to be a pawn with your ability, you can go and be a battalion deputy for Gao Xu for the time being! ”

"Captain Xie!"

The marshal marched, in a tent.

The magistrate looked at Liu Jizong and Du Gui with a smile on his face and asked, "The two generals came to this official late at night, and I don't know what advice they have?" ”

Du Gui smiled: "Brother Liu and I are both juniors, where do we dare to teach you." I came to see you so late, just a little thing I want to ask you for! ”
