581. Chapter 581: The Pick
Some people choose to become elite and have a future, and naturally there will be people who want to live a stable life and are unwilling to go to the battlefield to fight hard.
Half of them stood in place, bowing their heads in shame, not daring to look at the blood-boiling soldiers on the left.
Seeing that these people were still in place, the tun chief did not show a disappointed look, but comforted: "Tuntian is also a big plan set by the lord, as long as you can do your part, there is nothing to be embarrassed about." ”
"You wait here, and after I send the others away, you must tell me if you are willing to take your family to Liangzhou to settle down."
"Don't worry, as long as your family comes, the government will definitely arrange for you."
One person plucked up the courage and said, "Tun Chief, seeing that the autumn harvest is approaching, can you let my family finish harvesting the grain and then move here?" ”
Tun Chang laughed twice and said, "This is human nature, why not?" ”
When many soldiers heard the words of the commander, they couldn't help but cheer. For the people, the grain in the fields is their lifeblood.
It is definitely not easy to get them to give up the grain that is about to ripen and drag their families to Liangzhou.
Ignoring the cheers of these people, the commander couldn't wait to bring the soldiers standing on the left to the military marquis. At this time, nearly two hundred soldiers had gathered next to this prince.
When the tun commander saw the generals in front of him, he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Junhou, nearly half of the soldiers under a certain command are willing to become a sword in the hands of the lord and make meritorious contributions. ”
Junhou showed a satisfied smile on his face, patted Tun Chang's shoulder vigorously, and said, "You kid is really good, I'm optimistic about you." ”
Being praised by Shangguan, the tun chief was immediately overjoyed, and said: "I'll go back to the remaining soldiers to see how many of them are willing to bring their families to Liangzhou." ”
Junhou waved his hand and said, "This matter is not urgent, although these people have taken the initiative to join the army, but we have selected elites, but not all of them are qualified to stay here!" ”
"When the time comes, you still need to bring back the cubs under your command."
After finishing speaking, the prince glanced at the soldiers present, and a sneer was chewing on the corner of his mouth.
Those soldiers who heard the words of the prince and marquis had a little unsightly, they were originally encouraged by the commanders, so they gave up a stable life and took the initiative to join the army.
And these people who dare to take the initiative to join the army, their physical fitness is quite good, and they are also very confident in themselves. But I didn't expect that listening to the meaning of the prince's words, I would have to brush down a group of talents.
Ignoring the commotion of the soldiers, the prince waited quietly here, and it didn't take long for the last tun commander to bring more than forty people over.
At this time, there were about two hundred people in total, occupying two-fifths of a Qu people. Seeing this, a hint of relief flashed in the eyes of the prince.
Seeing that the five tun chiefs under his command had already arrived, the prince ordered several tun chiefs to line up the soldiers in the field.
Then he shouted: "Finally, I will give you a chance to choose, once you choose to join the army, you will face never-ending killing and conquest." ”
"Maybe some people will be able to seal the shadow with their military exploits in the end; However, many more are likely to stay on the battlefield forever, or even bury their bones elsewhere. ”
"If you want to retreat now, you can still leave calmly, and you can take your family over and live together in various counties and counties of Liangzhou for ten years."
There were a lot of soldiers below, and at first they were all encouraged by the commander, and then their heads rushed up. Now that they heard the prince's words, many of them began to hesitate again.
Seeing the hesitant looks of many people, the prince couldn't help but show a slight look of disappointment on his face.
But he still said loudly: "If you want to quit now, stand next to your respective chiefs; If you want to continue to join the army, you should stand still and stand still. ”
It didn't take long for a third of the people to gather under the command of their respective commanders, leaving only more than 130 people, still standing still.
The prince said to the soldiers who had left: "Those who are not strong-willed, even if they go to the battlefield, they will die, you have been eliminated, go back with your commander." ”
The chiefs looked at the people beside them angrily, and they didn't stay, but took them back directly.
It was only at this time that a smile appeared on the prince's face and said, "Congratulations on passing the test of the first level, and later you will gather with other Qu soldiers to participate in the war against the Qiang people." ”
"Whether you can come back alive or not depends on your own creation."
The more than 130 people who originally felt that they had passed the test all changed their faces. They originally thought that they and the others would be called together to train for a period of time before they would go into battle to kill the enemy.
Unexpectedly, he had just been recruited to confront the Qiang people. Many people have a bad feeling in their hearts.
Seeing that there was some commotion among the people below, the prince suddenly shouted in a deep voice: "Since you have made your choice, there is no way to retreat, and it is up to you to grasp whether you live or die on the battlefield." ”
"Assemble the whole army, follow me to meet with the other brothers of Qu, and meet the general!"
The sound of war drums sounded, and all the soldiers who had been selected for each song gathered on the school grounds, and the soldiers and horses of the last battalion were all gathered together.
A battalion has two divisions and ten songs; More than 130 people were selected for a song, and more than 1,300 people gathered together.
Elections like this are going on in various places within the camp.
There were 100 battalions of 500,000 men and horses, and they scattered to the west under the leadership of their respective commanders, who had only ten days of dry rations.
On this day, a lieutenant led more than 1,000 people under his command to the side of the river. The soldiers, all of whom had become parched from the hurry, cheered when they saw the river, and ran to the river to start the water.
Some of them crouched by the river, put their weapons beside them, and began to drink water with their hands while looking warily in all directions. However, more soldiers threw away their weapons and crawled to the river like dogs to lick and drink.
The lieutenant had already let people start to observe the posture of everyone drinking water.
When the people had finished drinking, he immediately announced that those who crouched down and drank with their hands in their hands would become real soldiers; And those who were lying on the ground and drinking water, were once again eliminated.
In the end, only about 400 people became real soldiers.
Facing the doubtful crowd, the captain sneered and said, "I told you before I set off that this expedition is to fight the Qiang people. However, less than half of the people are able to stay vigilant when drinking water. ”
Speaking of this, he shouted loudly: "If this is a real battlefield, and the Qiang people suddenly kill, what will happen to those who throw away their weapons and lie on the ground? ”
"I tell you, you will be brutally killed by the enemy!"
"So, you're all eliminated!"
