The ninety-seventh episode of Handan's grand occasion
The first rays of sunlight rise, driving away the darkness of the night, bringing light, warmth, and hope.
The soldiers defending the city leaned on the city wall and took a nap, the tall city wall, the strong city gate, the high hanging suspension bridge, the first impression of Handan City is majestic, the second is safe enough, the tall city wall is not only to block the inner and outer worlds, but also to prevent the enemy from invading, adding a barrier for themselves.
A person's mouth was smiling, his eyes slowly opened, and he looked down at the depression on the city wall, and couldn't help but feel a cold shiver, his eyes were dark, he almost couldn't believe his eyes, shook his head that was not particularly sober, raised his arm and rubbed it a few times, and finally saw clearly that the black pressure outside Handan City was overwhelming, and it was completely occupied by the crowd from the moat, which was almost impossible to see except for the battlefield.
"Get up, get up, all get up!" The leader in charge of guarding the gates shouted loudly.
"Go, let Lao Tzu sleep again, what is the howl in the morning, I haven't slept enough."
"Get up!" The man jumped up directly from the ground, covered his buttocks with his hands, muttered two words in his mouth, and saw that the leader did not dare to say more, so he bent down and picked up the spear from the side.
Some soldiers slowly stood up, and some remained unmoved, hitting them and saying that they could at least sleep for a while, guarding the door was a chore, and only if they knew how to be lazy.
"If you don't get up and report to the general, you will serve according to military law!"
The little leader shouted angrily, and the soldiers who fell on the city wall opened their eyes one after another, with a suspicious face, and had no choice but to stand up, with a sigh of anger in their mouths, and look at the time, it is not yet time to open the city gate and change shifts.
"Head, what's the matter with getting up so early?"
The little leader pointed with his hand, and the man stretched his neck to look down, 'Ah', he almost held back without taking a breath, his expression was full of consternation, and the soldiers around him snorted coldly, "What's the big deal!" The body approached and looked at the crowd under the city and was shocked, "Enemy attack!" ”
"Calm down, look at the outfits of these people, I haven't seen anyone attack the city with these things!"
The soldiers defending the city stepped forward, condescendingly and saw clearly, but they were just ordinary people, carrying burdens on their bodies, carrying packages in their arms, carrying knives and forks in their hands, and some people simply sat there, their shoes took off and beat their feet that were a little sore, and their expressions were a little tired, and they must have driven a long way from the expression.
Some of the books have been on the road for several days in a row, just hoping to catch up with the first day to reach Handan.
"Why are so many people here at once!"
"Have you forgotten what day it is?"
"What day?"
"The day of the recruitment of the new army."
The man patted his head, "Why did you forget about this matter, but the news spread a few days ago, and the relatives in the township heard that they were on an errand in Handan City, so they asked the help to say that they would join the new army, most of them were worried that they would not be selected!" ”
"Why is the new army so good!"
"It's not clear if it's good or not, we must be able to eat enough, we don't all come here for this, there is little land at home, except for the rent paid, there is one less mouth when you come out, in case you make a meritorious service and become an official, it will be glorious."
"Do you want to inform the general of this formation, if the city gate is opened and there is any chaos, we can't afford it."
"That's reasonable, it's better for the prophet to speak to the general, so there is a way to deal with it."
The little leader explained, "Be in good spirits, let's go and report to the general!" After saying that, he walked quickly to the stone steps, pedaled, and ran down from above.
The little leader who did not go to deliver the letter, but the people who poured in from outside the city, rushed to enter the city, and the ones behind looked forward with their feet crossed, one of them was burly and dark-faced, carrying an iron fork in his hand, and carrying a bow and arrow behind him, it must be a hunter walking in the mountains and forests, and the hunter was followed by several people, burly and mostly dressed in the same clothes.
The sun rose, and there was still no movement at the city gate, and one person took a look, "Big brother, can we see Zhao Kuo this time?" ”
The man like the Black Tower turned around, "It doesn't matter if you see it or not, the most important thing is to join the new army, with a few of our brothers' skills, we will definitely be able to show our strengths, and it is better to hide in the deep mountains and old forests for the rest of your life." ”
One person snorted coldly, "If you hadn't offended Chun Shenjun in the first place, why did you do this!" ”
"There are many people, and it's best not to mention the past!" One couldn't help but remind.
"What can't be said, if Zhao Kuo doesn't accept a few of our brothers because of this, it won't be interesting to join the new army." The man's voice was not small, and the person in front turned his head to see that his body was inevitably a little thin compared to it, and the black tower man immediately turned around as soon as his eyes were stunned, it is better to provoke such a lord.
The little leader trotted all the way to the Governor's Mansion, and a team of soldiers with spears came to meet him, and the little leader recognized it and stepped forward quickly, "I've seen Lord Captain." ”
Zhao Hao's figure stopped, "It should be you who are in charge of the night, why did you come here?" ”
Zhao Hao's expression revealed majesty, and the little leader couldn't help but tremble, "Lord Huiduwei, there are too many people outside the city, and it is about to be the time to open the city, so I am worried, so I came to report." ”
"Open the gates on time."
The little leader agreed, and hurriedly turned around and ran back, taking advantage of no one, his sleeves were raised to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and there were more and more soldiers, gradually moving closer to the city gate, which must be to strengthen the garrison in Handan City, and also form a deterrent to the people outside the city.
Zhao Hao turned around, "Kuo'er, I will be a general from today onwards, but I have to make some achievements, and I can't live up to the king's trust!" ”
"Father, rest assured, after all, the child has done his best to train an iron-blooded division for Zhao Guo!"
"Iron Blood, good, sound magnificent."
Creak, several strong men worked together, the cable was slowly lowered, and the people who had been waiting flocked to the city gate like a tide, all wanting to enter Handan as soon as possible, in order to fight for a place, there was a riot under the city gate, and the people moved forward, and it was inevitable that there would be a collision, all of them were strong and strong, and it was inevitable to push each other.
Suddenly, a war drum sounded, the people who were moving forward suddenly stopped, the city gate was wide open, and two teams of soldiers rushed out of the city, wearing battle armor, holding spears and shields, the footsteps were neat and orderly, and the spears in their hands kept hitting the shields, making a burst of passionate knocking sounds, which was the sound of killing on the battlefield, which made people's blood surge, even the soldiers who had experienced the battlefield were also shocked by this powerful momentum.
Zhao Hao climbed the city wall, looked at the people below and nodded again and again, with these people, he would definitely be able to complete the recruitment of the new army, cleared his throat and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, a good man should defend his family and defend the country and die on the battlefield, even if the straw mat is shrouded and the bones are gone, there is still no regret, the new army recruits only good men who are not afraid of death, and does not accept indiscriminate people, regardless of origin, regardless of whether they are high or low, and those who have military merit will be rewarded." ”
"The New Army! New Army! ”
The people in the city shouted loudly, and the shouts shook the sky for a while, Zhao Hao waved his hand, and everyone suddenly stopped, "Kuo'er, I'll leave it to you here!" ”
Zhao Kuo stepped forward with a cold face and looked at the people in the city, "Zhao Kuo is grateful to you, now in the name of the king to form a new army, it is difficult to form a circle without rules, enter one by one in order, those who violate the rules are not allowed to join the new army, and those who secretly provoke chaos will be punished as collaborating with the enemy!" ”
When the words fell, the people in the city looked up, only to hear Zhao Kuo's name and not see him, he didn't want to be a general at such a young age, and he would inevitably have a bright future in the future. ”
The eyes of the person behind him widened, "Which eye saw Lao Tzu pushing you and sipped the wine." ”
The man had no choice but to move forward, this kind of bully is the most difficult to provoke, the most important thing is not to break the rules, he has been driving for a few days just to join the new army, if he is disqualified because of this trivial matter, it will not be worth the loss.
Zhao Kuo's name resounded throughout the Zhao country, calculated to take Maiqiu, recruited heroes, won the first place in the palace battle, and the notice with the seal of King Zhao was sent to various places, which wrote the time and place of the recruitment of the new army, and the strong and strong people from all over the country rushed to Handan, in the past, they were forcibly conscripted, and the counties were apportioned, and now tens of thousands of people came to the city to prepare to join the new army, and such a grand occasion was encountered for the first time.
