"I heard that a powerful guy came to the recruit camp, and later came to the top, and the whole Mu Wu was taken?"
"Yes, I heard that Huai Shuo came here to replace the centurion's father. The father is a centurion, so his martial arts skills are good. At present, it seems that he has a straight temper, but he is not reckless and did not cause any major problems. Come."
I don't know how many people in the army rely on their martial arts to be domineering, but young people are full of vigor.
But there is not much that can converge and know where the point is.
"In a few days, you and I will take a look at the competition. If it can be used, I will come with ideas."
"Yes!"
Right Army.
"Lieutenant General Wang, how likely do you think that newcomer from Huai Shuo will be able to join the You Army?" Xia Hong, the general of the You Army Town Army, asked his generals.
Although Lieutenant General Wang was only a Lieutenant General, he was from Xia Hong's personal soldier and had been in the You Army for nearly ten years.
Originally, Xia Hong could open the mansion after two levels of official promotion, and this personal soldier can be considered to have survived. But because Xia Hong was a Han from the North, his promotion was too slow, and these two levels didn't seem high, but he didn't know when he would be able to get through.
Xia Hong cherished the talents of his own soldiers, so he let him be a lieutenant. Although his rank was not high, he was actually a confidant.
Vice-General Wang is none other than Wang Meng, the general who saved Hua Mulan in his previous life and later took in A Shan Zhiqi's command.
"Looking at the end, it's unlikely." Vice-General Wang said not very optimistically:
"This person is very sharp when he arrives, and I think he has a temperament that loves to get ahead. Every young man like this hopes to become famous from the beginning. Although he was born in an ordinary military family, his father is also a centurion, and he is also a martial artist. Strong, I'm afraid I don't look down on places like the Right Army."
After Xia Hong heard his words, he shook his head.
"In the past few years, the good seedlings have been left for the Central Army and the Left Army. We are always guarding the army, and the casualties are quite large. If this continues, the Right Army will become weaker and weaker. If there is a war in the future, I don't know how many people will die. people."
The role of a good general is not only to rush to kill, but also to boost morale and assess the situation. Although Xia Hong was a Han Chinese, most of the soldiers under his command were Xianbei generals.
The right army was originally weak, and the replenishment of soldiers was more disadvantageous than others. His subordinates always commanded the soldiers below to pursue them bravely. When they really sacrificed more, they began to ask him for help.
The military also depends on power. The remaining recruits are either old or weak, and they can be used immediately.
"Don't worry, General, this time, the Khan has recruited at least 20,000 new recruits, and there will always be good ones who will emerge gradually. Although Hua Mulan is particularly good, it may not be easy to use, and the unruly people are often not very good. It may be a good thing to not be able to get along with the group.”
Deputy General Wang knew Xia Hong's concerns, so he had to think of other ways to comfort him.
"You...you know good things to say, hey.".
The same conversation continued in the left army. The recruiting competition is the best time to replenish the troops. After the Khan's large-scale recruitment, a large number of recruits will come to Heishan City every two or three months. Where these people go is determined by the recruiting competition.
Those who are good at bowing and arrows, those who are strong, and those who are strong in horse fighting will all find their own skills to compete.
But there are also people who went to different military because of family ties or friendship with fellow villagers.
"Hua Mulan is from Huai Shuo? Do any Huai Shuo children in our army know Hua Mulan?"
There are many fallen Xianbei nobles in the left army, so their strength is slightly stronger than that of the right army. Due to the emphasis on the relationship with the hometown, the Zuo army often used the local as a team.
"Some people know his cousin Hua Kehu, but they don't know him. It is said that Hua Mulan's father injured his legs and feet in his early years, which is not good for traveling. Say you don't know Hua Mulan."
The partial general quickly replied to his own town army general.
"That's really weird. All the captains who practice during the day say that Hua Mulan is strong and doesn't look like a recruit. Such a warrior should be particularly famous in the village."
Officials and soldiers in various places also have a "recommendation" system, civil officials have "honor filial piety", and military generals have a "recommended" quota in the military residence, so the generals of the left army have this scolding.
Pu Lian, the general of the left army, was a little annoyed when he saw that playing the "family card" was ineffective.
"Are all the military officials in Huai Shuo's place eating dry rice? Such talents should be sent directly to the main army. What kind of military post should I post!"
"Maybe it was an omission."
"You go out and inquire, the person who knows Hua Kehu, tell him to talk to Hua Mulan in private, I'm going to ask someone that day, let him know what's good for me here first!"
"Yes!".
In the Montenegro camp, the left and right armies and the central armies are both competitive and cooperative.
The central army is the place where nobles and high sects work, because the central army in any place represents the word "elite". When the emperor was on a personal expedition, the central army was directly commanded by the emperor, and the promotion was the fastest.
Because of this, there are many children of nobles who bring their family soldiers into the army. Almost every nobleman can form a team of his own, and the armor is neat, so it is not surprising that he is powerful.
But relatively, the senior generals of the Chinese army have the lowest control over their subordinates.
Take Ying Yang, the pioneer battalion of the Central Army, for example, General Ying Yang Tuoba Jian is His Majesty's nephew, the second son of Tuoba Fan, King of Le'an, the grand-nephew of the current commander of the Montenegro camp, and the real nobleman of Tianhuang. , the general of the town army of the Central Army had nothing to do with him, and sometimes he had to look at his face.
Moreover, the entanglement of forces in the Chinese army is too heavy, and it is difficult for outsiders to gain a foothold, and there are many nobles and nobles, which seems to mean that the king does not see the king.
Although these noble sons who came to the army to pursue their careers, in order not to disobey the military orders, most of the time obey the command and fight honestly, but once their military merit and reputation are damaged, there are occasional things that they refuse to do.
The Zhenjun general of the Central Army, Yu Chi Kualu, was the most aggrieved of all the previous Zhenjun generals.
In the past few years, the Dugu Family, Bu Liugu Family, and He Lai Family did not send their children to the Great Khan's Guards, but instead sent them to Montenegro for training. He used to be a general of the town army in the three armies, but now he is not as happy as Xia Honglai of the right army.
Although General Yuchi had a lot of cronies, there was a terrible shortage of middle-level generals.
The Dugu family and several other big clans had taken all the soldiers from their family to the family, and there was no need to send other soldiers when they went out. General Yuchi had available guerrilla generals and generals to send, but thousands of captains were in short supply.
The family will naturally protect their masters, but fighting is not a game to accompany the nobles to go hunting. Sometimes they need to take risks, not the lackeys who only know how to guard. This straggler always has to be accompanied by someone, but everyone clings to the powerful, and few people who are talented listen to him.
Therefore, it is very important for Yuchi Kualu to cultivate talented new generals who have no relationship with any forces.
The same goes for the left and right armies. The right army is the best place for all ordinary military households to get ahead, while the left army pays attention to the balance between cooperation and fellow villagers. It is the safest to fight in the left army.
The Hu Ben and Xiaoqi Second Battalions of the Left Army and Right Army are not weaker than Yingyang, but their reputation is not obvious.
Naturally a recruit would not know so much. Most people rushed to the Central Army as soon as they heard that the strongest Chinese Army was recruiting them. Those who have become the vassals of nobles, and those who can really emerge, are very few.
***
Other recruits didn't know so much, but He Mulan knew a little. As far as personal feelings are concerned, she naturally hopes to join the right army, and it is best to go directly to the wise, graceful, and hearted General Wang, and go around in circles.
But if you want to get ahead as soon as possible, going to the Central Army should be the best choice. She didn't have much contact with the Central Army in her previous life. She probably knew that there were a group of guys with real eyes higher than the top and their noses turned upside down, but as long as they were truly convinced, they were the most reliable group of robes.
Just like the eldest brother of the Fourteen Feather Lin Lang and a few others, these people are just a little bit more individual because of their noble status, but in fact most of them are good in nature.
And He Mulan felt that it was not too difficult to gain their respect with Mulan's force.
Hua Mulan has been in charge of bringing new recruits in the past, and she naturally knows that before the recruits enter the camp, in fact, the school captains who train the troops have a test for everyone. Task.
He Mulan knew this, so she worked very hard in every drill, and almost didn't write the words "Breakthrough of force" on her face. She was confident that the competition was over, and the main army of the three armies would definitely be There will be generals to recruit.
Ah, too much force is also a sin.
He Mulan stroked her chin in annoyance.
"Which army should I go to?"
"I'm going to the Zuo Army." A Shan Zhiqi had just returned from martial arts training, and saw Hua Mulan talking to herself, sitting beside her.
In the past few days, he has seen the power of Hua Mulan, and the confidence and frivolity at the beginning have also subsided. He was also a rare warrior in his hometown, but when he arrived in Heishan City, this kind-hearted and kind-hearted friend from the same shop completely awakened his arrogance.

A mountain is still a mountain high. He is strong in that small place in his hometown, but when he is in the army, it may not be enough for others to see.
"Huh? Isn't it the right army?" He Mulan's eyes widened in surprise.
She also thought that A Shan Zhiqi later joined the Right Army of his own accord.
"I'm just the son of an ordinary military household, and I can't climb up to a place like the Central Army. The Right Army heard that the seats are arranged by force, and there are a lot of Hu and Han people. I don't want to fight with cockfighting companions all day long."
He spoke his mind.
"I heard that the Zuo Army is based on the neighbors, so that even if they die in battle, their family members will have their comrades to take care of them. Therefore, everyone will advance and retreat together, regardless of death. I have a strong martial arts style in Wuchuan, so there are many warriors. Wait for me to go. Zuo Jun, if you find Wuchuan Corps, you can also use your strengths."
"Zuo Jun..." He Mulan murmured. "Why is it different from what we said?"
"If Hua Mulan wants to go to the Central Army, right?" A'Dan Zhiqi said regretfully: "For a strong person like you, it is appropriate to go to the Central Army. But even if you go to the Central Army, we can still be Good brother. As long as you don't think I'm high... "
"Where are you, it's hard to say whether the Central Army wants me or not." He Mulan humbly replied to A'Dan Zhiqi's words and shook his head. "But even if I can't go to the central army, I don't really want to go to the left army. If I can't go to the central army, I will go to the right army."
"Go to the right army?"
"Well, the right army has the best generals and the best companions." He Mulan remembered Hua Mulan's so many emotional experiences, and nodded with a smile.
"Zuo Jun attaches too much importance to 'region'. I don't like to group everyone according to region. Think about it, maybe you can't get along at all, but just because you are from the same town, you have to be together all day long. , isn't that too bad?"
"It seems to make some sense. However, if you go to the right army and meet a bad partner, can you separate?"
A'Dan Zhiqi laughed at He Mulan, "We are here to serve as soldiers, not to make friends."
"But if it doesn't matter, if you meet a bad partner, you can secretly teach a lesson. If you are a fellow countryman, who knows if that guy will write a letter home and let his son beat your son? No, no..."
He Mulan was joking, but this was not what he was thinking.
The Hua family is not completely unknown in Huaishuo, and it is impossible to guarantee that they do not know the Hua Hu family. In case, when I go back to my hometown to visit relatives, I run to my fellow villager's home, and I can't hide the identity of the daughter's family.
Presumably, Hua Mulan was relieved when she entered the Right Army back then.
"Only the strong can have a choice." A Shan Zhiqi stood up and stretched.
"If you can't get ahead, you can only 'make a living'."
***
In the next few days, He Mulan practiced martial arts diligently. Every day, recruits from different shops often came to invite them to learn from each other.
After a few days, "Mulan" became even more famous, because he had never lost a single one, and whether it was archery, riding, close-handed kung fu, or strength, he never fell behind. Almost an all-rounder.
This kind of result attracted Vice-General Wang of the Right Army even to ask him if he still knew how to strategize. If he knew this, then there would be no need for recruits to compete, and he would just let Hua Mulan get his seat.
He Mulan is also quickly adapting to horse fighting and riding and shooting through these competitions. She lacks actual combat experience and doesn't know much about the character of the red horse under her seat.
It is much worse than Yueying, and almost lost many times, all because the speed of this horse is too slow, and the reaction is not as sharp as Yueying.
However, He Mulan at least had some confidence in her ability to enter the Chinese army, because the three armies had privately sent people to recruit her, so it was a guarantee first.
During the few days of the new recruit competition, all the recruits got their number plates. He Mulan's number was four hundred and seven. She estimated that there were about a thousand new recruits in this competition. Army.
In the past few days, the various items of the competition are different. In the morning, it may be compared to strength, in the afternoon, it is to see who can run faster than leg strength. The next day is to compare horseback riding and archery. The number is less than one-third.
He Mulan and Adanzhuo naturally stayed.
Running is compared to running under load. He Mulan can't run fast, and speed is not her strong point, but she can't stand the "weight-bearing" item. Everyone else was as tired as a dog. He Mulan didn't feel heavy with those armors on his back. Even if he didn't run fast, he was as light as a swallow, much better than those recruits who were already tired after a few laps.
The same is true of horseback riding. He Mulan's horse is not a good horse, but it is not bad among recruits. Most of He Mulan's money is spent on this horse, and it is finally not a hindrance.
On the last day, the "horse battle" will be the real highlight.
"Four hundred and seven..." Mu Wu, one of the recruits, showed an expression like a concubine, "Fighting against Hua Mulan, I'm afraid it will be ugly to lose..."
"You didn't show up?"
After Mu Wuli knew how to befriend Hua Mulan, almost most of them sent food, which they dubbed "offering offerings" in private. There were also a few stubborn ones who didn't send it, but He Mulan also maintained the necessary courtesy here because Mu Wu's people were very friendly to her.
"Come on, I gave the ox tongue." The recruit nodded, his eyes lit up. "You mean, for the sake of ox tongue, he won't let me lose too badly?"
"I don't know about that. But I heard from the people who were discussing in those days, at least when they were discussing in private, they were all clicked to the end, and it wasn't too much."
It's not like the ones from the Tuluo family, who almost gave up all the tricks.
"hope so."
***
At the beginning of the horse battle, two by two against the enemy, the whole school field was in full swing.
Although it was a competition for military selection, there were still unlucky people who were injured in the face, fell off the horse, and were trampled by the horse's hoof. It can't be said that there is no danger at all.
He Mulan met some familiar recruits, and even his face was covered by a leather helmet. When he saw He Mulan looking at him, he took off the leather helmet and smiled, making a "cow tongue" mouth.
I remembered.
Roommate for her beef tongue!
With this "love", He Mulan also kept some affection, at least back and forth against each other for more than ten or twenty rounds, before picking each other down, so as not to lose too ugly.
When dealing with people you don't know, you naturally knock them down with just a few quick strokes. Riding a horse is also very tiring, and she also wants to rest early and have an early result.
Gradually, some people saw that He Mulan treated them differently. If she had spoken or laughed with her before the battle, she would be slower to start, and she would be a lot less condescending during the competition.
This made Xia Hong, the general of the Right Army, unhappy.
"What's going on? Why does he still treat such an important competition as a child's play?"
The news was soon found out.
"General Qi, it seems that those who let them go are 'Mu Wu' people."
"Joke! Did he actually take this kind of thing as a place to sell human feelings?" Xia Hong slapped the desk, and even his voice became higher.
Vice-General Wang was nearby. Seeing that the general was angry, he immediately asked the reason. He also doesn't appreciate this kind of person very much in his heart. Youjun's behavior is to go all out in everything. But after all, he saw a lot of new people, so he spoke for Hua Mulan:
"After getting along for a while, the feelings between some of the same robes are normal. Anyway, they all win, so that the other side loses more beautifully, and it is also kind. This Mulan doesn't look so arrogant, isn't it a good thing
"It's not fair after all. If everyone does this, what else is there to try? Whoever has the strongest relationship has the second place?"
"Uh... The general's words are serious, right? If it really matters, who would joke about their future?"
General Yuchi of the Central Army had other ideas.
"Why does Hua Mulan be soft to some people, while others show no mercy?"
"Report to General Qi, some of them are recruits who are in the same recruiting department as Hua Mulan."
"Is this Hua Mulan still a very affectionate person?"
"This... will not be known in the end."
"Go and find out who Mulan has the best relationship with in her room on weekdays, ask Mu Wu's people and report back quickly."
"Yes!"
He Mulan didn't know that her behavior had caused others' displeasure and deep thought, and just mechanically repeated the actions of "Second person", "Oh, it's an acquaintance, normal attack" and "Take a break and wait for the newcomer to come back".
In a certain sense, the newcomer's competition is a wheel battle. In addition to force, it also tests the physical strength of others. He Mulan's ability to play so easily when he released water has already shocked the newcomers in the same batch.
Although A Shan Zhiqi also stood in the back, he was sweating profusely, and his strength was exhausted, and he was not far from being shaky. He expected that he had already made it into the 100th place, and there would be no problem in entering the left army, so although he was tired, his face was not depressed.
"I'm duck gizzard." One of Mu Wu's "roommates" squeezed out a smile and smirked at He Mulan.
The more later, the fewer familiar faces He Mulan had seen, so she casually flicked two tricks and hit him where it didn't hurt or itch. The "roommate" knew that she was not He Mulan's opponent, so she gently He slipped off the horse and led the horse away.
Another quarter of an hour later, after the remaining number cards were drawn, He Mulan faced Adan Zhiqi. The latter couldn't support it anymore, and she was so soft that she didn't even have the strength to lift a gun. Seeing that her opponent was her, she jumped off the horse and obediently conceded defeat.
"Hua Mulan, how can ordinary people like us live when we meet someone like you?" Adan Zhiqi smiled bitterly and looked at Hua Mulan, who was riding steadily on his horse, "I have no regrets at all if I lost to you. "
He Mulan shook her head solemnly when she heard this familiar conversation.
"Nothing, you are much stronger than me. I am just relying on the strength bestowed by God. You are a person who earnestly practice martial arts and become stronger by your own strength, and is worthy of respect."
"God-given strength?" A-Dan Zhiqi smiled, "Oh, I'm even more envious, why can't God see me?"
After saying that, he led the horse away.
He Mulan sat on the horse, seeing Adan Zhiqi slowly walking away, she was not happy.
All of her martial arts skills and horse-riding experience came from Hua Mulan. To this full field of recruits, she is like a cheating trumpet who has returned to a lower level at full level, but is full of skill levels, fighting on the same starting line as a group of newcomers who are striving to level up.
This wasn't fair in the first place.
But the injustice was there from the start.
She remembered Kou Qianzhi's godly words, and the dark parts of Hua Mulan's memory, she gritted her teeth and clenched the wooden gun in her hand.
Here is a fantasy!
They are all NPCs!
She is going out! .
"Duh!"
He Mulan made a false move, swung the opponent's wooden spear, and swept the opponent off his horse with a carbine.
Winning this battle was very dangerous, probably because she didn't dare to use ruthless hands to really hurt people, but the opponents were attacking her eyes, throat and other vital points everywhere.
In the military competition, it should have ended. Both sides used wooden guns without metal gun heads.
He Mulan had fought all the way and had never seen such a ruthless person. The other party probably expected that he would not dare to use a ruthless hand, and kept slamming his eyes to say hello, and then the tip of the gun frequently pointed to the chest and lower abdomen, really wanting no face to win.
However, He Mulan lacked such ruthlessness. She always remembered that it was a competition, not a battlefield fight, and her methods were inevitably weak. Before, they were all opponents whose martial arts skills were not at the same level. Suddenly, they encountered someone with excellent marksmanship and almost suffered a loss.
The loser was also straightforward, dropped off the horse, threw the wooden gun, glared at her and walked away with the horse.
He Mulan touched the horse's head, where several scars had been stabbed by the man's wooden spear just now, even the horse was not spared, showing how cruel his character was.
"Nah Luohun?"
He Mulan remembered the man's name.
It's a pity that such a handsome face was ruined by the sullen face.
***
"Mulan's martial arts are strong..." The confidant brought by General Yuchi said with some puzzlement: "Is it a little too soft-hearted? It's okay to be soft to the people who live in the same room. The recruit just now was obviously a deadly trick. , The average person is already angry, why is he still timid, dare not fight back, and toss for so long?"
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that He Mulan didn't dare to use ruthless moves to break those killer moves, and would rather spend a little more time trying to find flaws.
This is of course possible in the competition, but on the battlefield, when two people are fighting, it is natural to kill the faster the better. After all, no one will fight alone. Once they are caught in a fierce battle, they may be surrounded and killed.
"No matter how powerful he is, he is still a recruit. He has never seen human blood, he has never cut his head, and it is normal that he does not dare to use a ruthless hand." Yuchi Kualu remembered that some recruits would get seriously ill after killing someone, and waved his hand disapprovingly.
"When I am in the middle of the army, let the following arrange it, let her go to the battlefield as soon as possible, and go to fight with the wrigglings first. When you don't kill me, I will kill you, and I won't be soft-hearted."
"Having said that, but if you really are soft at the critical moment..."
"Then what does a soldier like this want? Is it a slap in the face of martial arts?" General Yuchi glared. "I'm still short of people to compete?"
The Chinese army does not need to compete, and every year is the first.
What is there to compare!
"Yes, the last will lie.".
After He Mulan defeated Na Luohun, she never met an opponent of that level, but two hours later, she deservedly had the last laugh.
At the place where the recruits competed, the generals of each army also said some official words to encourage the recruits to show their courage.
"The right army guerrilla battalion still lacks a centurion! This Hua Mulan is so good at horse-fighting, he happens to be a talented person to charge! We want it!"
"Joke, everyone is a cavalry, who has no shortage of talents to charge! You said you want it?"
"What are you arguing about, as soon as the old Yuchi from the central army opens his mouth, he will definitely be left. We are in a mess here, so we will show others a joke."
After the person sent by General Zuo Jun to talk to him came back and said that Hua Kehu and Hua Mulan were not familiar with each other, the general knew that it was an excuse. Zuo Jun had no hope of recruiting this "strongest newcomer", so he naturally ended up being idle.
The first person in the army can choose by himself, and others can't force it. This is the rule in the army.
Whether it is the recruit competition, the regular army competition, or the three army competition, the championship is a supreme honor. In order to fill her stomach in her previous life, Hua Mulan was a regular soldier who emerged from Dabi and left the boot camp ahead of schedule.
Xia Hong sent Lieutenant General Wang to lobby, and Yuchi Kualu also sent Lieutenant General Wang to persuade them. Lieutenant General Wang and this lieutenant general were both resourceful and confidant. Speaking of conditions, they were naturally confident.
Vice-General Wang is not an ordinary person, and occasionally does amazing things. He knew that the Right Army had no hope and no burden, so he said to He Mulan with a smile:
"If you come to my right army, I will convince the general to arrange for the most beautiful person in the army to live with you. I heard that you don't let other people rest near you in 'Muwu', I am afraid it is quite eccentric, so In the same way, military merit is always possible with your martial arts, but lonely in the army, there is a beautiful person to accompany each other, also..."
"Ha ha… "
He Mulan laughed dryly with a cold sweat, and was almost persuaded by Vice Admiral Wang.
The most beautiful person in the army, besides Di Yefei, who else will go
In those days, Hua Mulan was inexplicably arranged by General Wang to join Di Yefei and served as his flower protector for many years.
She still remembered the benefits of having a tent with Di Yefei in Hua Mulan's memory. The first one was that Di Yefei didn't grind his teeth and snort, and his feet didn't stink.
This is simply too satisfying.
Do you want…
Yuchi Kualu's subordinate scolded "shameless" in his heart, and simply said the benefits of his side.
"General Yuchi said, if you choose the middle army, A Shan Zhiqi can join the middle army together and fight with you."
What
He Mulan glanced at him in disbelief.
What are these two doing...
Although I know it is a condition of solicitation, why does it sound so strange
The author has something to say: Small Theater:
Di Yefei: Choose me, choose me, choose me! I love clean.
A Shan Zhiqi (scratching his face): I cook deliciously.
