Xue Ziqin was watching the art of war in the tent. It was almost dusk. After training the recruits, Min Qiu went into the tent and saluted: "General."
"Come in and sit, um, how's it going?"
"General Xie. There are more than 70 top-notch people. Most of them were engaged in agriculture before, or small traders. Agriculture is not bad, but small traders who do some handicrafts can't keep up with their physical fitness."
"Yeah, what's your age?"
"There are twelve people under fifteen, and the oldest is twenty-seven."
Originally, from building tents to training camps, it was just to identify the abilities and basic conditions of these people in the shortest possible time.
Wei Lin's group was not the first batch of recruits brought by Xue Ziqin. He and Min Qiu were already experienced and knew how to most efficiently separate the talented from the incompetent, and then put them in the right position. make the most of it.
Min Qiu's work is delicate, even a little procrastination of a woman, but it is more important to be precise and meticulous.
"You know what to do about re-rowing."
"Yes, but when?"
"Just tonight," Xue Ziqin thought for a while, and continued with a little irritability, "The sons of Sui Kingdom didn't dare to move any more, they're about to suffocate me."
"Now to attack the city, both sides are fully prepared, I'm afraid it is not a good time." Min Qiu said, "Especially when our food and wages have not been delivered, the rear is not as stable as them."
"That's natural. If we fight, we will always have the disadvantage." Xue Ziqin said, "The old man has explained everything. We will wait for the court's decree. If we can't find a good reason, let us station our troops here and wait."
"What the general said is not unreasonable. It is the so-called famous, if we attack recklessly, we will give others an excuse... I mean Xisu and Dongming in the north. The general was guarding there during the autumn harvest last year. They haven't gotten any money and food, and if they were given such a good excuse, they wouldn't take the opportunity to harass them and become the savages that feed them."
"Go, you are still on the old man's side. I told him at the beginning that there are not enough people, which means that he should send me a thousand warriors from the Northern Army. Now it's good. Before the battle, bring new recruits first. There is no battle, and the recruits still have to work hard, which is annoying.”
"This is also impossible..."
"When will Guo Linchong's payroll team arrive?"
"It will take about ten days."
"Look at this group of people, how long can they be trained?" Xue Ziqin changed his words and turned back to the recruits.
"I think a month should be enough for the ones that stand out better. For the rest, I'm afraid it will take a while." Min Qiu thought for a while and said. He took out the roster he carried with him and spread it out on the table: "Those who draw circles are available, those who draw crosses cannot fight."
Xue Ziqin flipped through the roster and saw Wei Lin's name again. He looked at these two words thoughtfully, and always felt that he had seen similar names before, and Wei Lin's face appeared in his mind again. Cooked, really cooked, but not yet. Wei Lin's appearance, Xue Ziqin felt like someone he knew, but he was sure that he had never met Wei Lin. Sure enough, Wei Lin's name was circled.
"How is this Wei Lin's popularity?"
"It's good, I got to know the recruits very quickly, and I heard that people are also very good." Min Qiu said truthfully, "But the friend with him is surprisingly unpopular."
"What? Which one is it?" Xue Ziqin looked at Min Qiu with interest and waited for the following.
"On the day of the lap, Wei Lin ran an extra lap with the man on his back, named Jiang Ye, and he had a conflict with him during training in the afternoon. I saw that Wei Lin went to fight, but he didn't fight, so he didn't care. already."
"Oh?" Xue Ziqin thought for a while, "How's his physical fitness?"
"It's okay, generally on the upper side."
"Who else is on Wei Lin's team?"
"There are two brothers, both of whom have drawn circles, and Jiang Ye, who has drawn a cross, is named Lin Yu."
"The one who drew the cross..." Xue Ziqin flipped through the name book, and sure enough, he saw this Lin Zu, with a cross next to his name, "Is Jiang also the one who ran on his back?"
"Yes."
"Then you can also circle it, I'm afraid that the good brothers will have miraculous effects when they are born and die."
"Yes."
"Can there be a hundred people?"
"Ninety people."
"You pick a hundred people out, and I will bring them personally, except for those with a cross, you will bring the rest." Xue Ziqin said.
"General, your subordinates are not particularly good at bringing new recruits," Min Qiu said with a bitter face. In the past two days alone, he has been tossed enough. Those recruits can't do anything. You have to ask this and that. He He couldn't bear to scold those who couldn't pass the training in the afternoon, but in this way, they couldn't train well no matter what. "In the past, Guo Linchong was leading..."
"Fuck you, don't make excuses, you take it with me, and when Guo Linchong comes back, you two will be together. You leave the rest to Zhong Yi, and let him see the arrangements for logistics."
"Yes… "
"Don't frown all day long, I'm upset when I look at it, can you be more lively?" Xue Ziqin raised his eyebrows and asked. His expression was a sign of anger. Although Min Qiu had followed him for many years, there was still an unsolved mystery. , that is why Xue Ziqin is so easy to get angry.
"Yes general, good general!"
"In a while, you can go get some deer and come back to eat." Xue Ziqin said again.
"General, you set the military rules yourself. If you want to eat meat, you can hunt by yourself, and whoever hunts will eat it."
"Min Qiu, you are too bold, how dare you contradict what I say?"
In this matter, Min Qiu, contrary to his usual peaceful personality, insisted on talking back to Xue Ziqin: "General, you can't try your own way!"
"What's the meaning?"
"It's you who violated the military regulations, who will punish you..."
"Ah, I told you to go and you can go. The deer I beat last time, you ate meat, this time pay me back." Xue Ziqin said shamelessly.
"I just took a bite!"
"Don't force me to beat you, I haven't done it myself for a long time."
"… Yes!"
"Hey, I have an idea, let's fight the bastards in Suiguo in a month." Xue Ziqin suddenly said mysteriously.
"What's the idea?"
"I'll think about it carefully first, and then tell you, is the defender of Hanzhou still him?"
"Yes, the news reported by the spies is a continuous ban."
The corner of Xue Ziqin's mouth twitched into a wicked smile: "That brat almost urinated when he saw me last time, and he dared to defend the city... Okay, you go to fight the deer, and arrange for the new recruits to regroup at night."
"General, I don't have three heads and six arms..."
"Min Qiu," Xue Ziqin looked at him seriously, raised his hand and put his hand on Min Qiu's shoulder, "I usually treat you well."
"That's natural, the general treats his subordinates... excellent." But for some reason, Min Qiu paused strangely.
"Then you are still bargaining with Lao Tzu, and if you want to go, you can go, get out!" Xue Ziqin suddenly shouted, his hand squeezed so hard that Min Qiu's shoulder was about to shatter, and the pain made Min Qiu just want to cry: "Yes, yes! General let go! It's broken!"
When Xue Ziqin heard the words, he let go of his hand contentedly, and Min Qiu ran out of the tent in a flash.
Just into the night.
"What do you think the veterans are doing all day?" Jia Da inexplicably threw a question to Jia Er, who scratched the back of his head for a while, and said, "Watch us train?"
"What the hell," Wei Lin was wiping his body beside him, and he couldn't help but join in when he heard the conversation, "It depends on which team we belong to, we are training here, and we haven't started fighting yet, so the scouts have to spy on the information, and the logistics also If you want to manage the food and accommodation of these people, it is estimated that they are busy."
Wei Lin's healing ability is very strong. Except for the small holes he scratched the day before, all of them have begun to grow new flesh, which makes him very good. Taking advantage of the time to rest in the tent after training, he went to get a bucket of water to wipe his body. Jiang was also in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
It seemed that the incident at the training ground had never happened before. No one mentioned it, but everyone chose to forget about it by default, including Jiang Ye, the party involved. After the training, he went straight back to the camp and stayed in a daze for a long time. After Wei Lin came back, he chatted with him as usual, and then started chatting with others.
"Brother Wei knows a lot!" Lin Zuo looked at them with a smile and said. I was lucky to be able to chat with Wei Lin on the road and get a team. Otherwise, he is alone, and his physical strength is weak. I am afraid that life in the military camp will not be so comfortable. It was only the second day, and Lin Yu had already sighed that he was lucky several times for having such a teammate.
"It's not, I just know it's a little lost, haha."
"What do you think of General Xue?" Lin Zu suddenly raised a topic.
Jia Da: "It's amazing."
Jia Er: "It's amazing."
Jiang Ye: "Very perverted."
Wei Lin: "The ultimate pervert."
The mention of Xue Ziqin made Wei Lin get goosebumps: "Don't you know, my God, it's really perverted, do you know, oh, that short net for training, he made me naked Come on, look," said Wei Lin, turning slightly and showing them the injured back, "I have worn two layers of skin for me."
Wei Lin has a wound on his back, and everyone knows it vaguely, but this is the first time to look at it so carefully. It is only after seeing it that you realize how abnormal the "ultimate perversion" Wei Lin is talking about. These dense small wounds , to see people's scalp tingling, very uncomfortable.
Just as he was talking, the bugle rang again outside the tent.
This is less than an hour away from the training and disbanding.
Wei Lin hurriedly put down the rag in his hand and put on his coat: "Get out quickly, so as not to be caught by General Xue, I'm a warning!"
"Brother Wei said yes!"
"exactly."
The five people hurried out of the tent, only to see that Min Qiu led someone to blow the bugle outside the tent, Wei Lin breathed a sigh of relief. There were a lot of people who thought the same way as Wei Lin. They almost came out of the tent and saw that it was Min Qiu. The first thing everyone did was to take a deep breath, with a "great" expression on their faces.
"Everyone listens, gathers, and forms!"
"Yes!"
More than 900 people moved quickly to the open space to line up. Wei Lin chatted with Jiang as he walked: "I don't know what to do, you won't be training at night, right?"
"Train, just train."
"Hey, you sound like you're a decathlete, little brat."
"Can you die if you don't talk nonsense for a day?" Jiang also lowered his voice and said fiercely, "A person like you should be cut with a knife."
"Don't pretend, you obviously love me the most."
"… "
"In view of everyone's performance before, all the recruits in the recruit battalion will be regrouped." Seeing that the team was already lined up, Min Qiu stood in front of the queue and said loudly.
All kinds of voices came out for a while, some were happy; some were mourning; some were annoying.
"The one who is named is dequeued! Go to the right side of the array and line up."
Everyone obeyed, and soon all one hundred people came out and lined up next to them.
Jiang Ye and his party, except for Lin Yu, were all among the hundred. Seeing Jiang Ye, Wei Lin and the others lining up next door, Lin Zu was a little panicked. In his mood, Min Qiu closed his mouth, Lin Zu was still left in the rest of the team, he looked at Wei Lin, his eyes were full of "what's going on", while Wei Lin spread his hands and shook his head, giving him a look of "I don't know what's going on".
Min Qiu slowed down, and then said, "The one who will be called next will stand in the queue on the left."
The minds above, the people below are confused and can't guess at all. This time, Lin Zu will be the first few to be named. Although I don't know what Vice-General Min is going to do, I can guess that he will not do it again in the future. So lucky to be on the same team with Wei Lin. Thinking of Wei Lin taking care of himself before, and imagining the difficulties he might encounter in the future, Lin Zu felt extremely uncomfortable.
After this roll call was over, most people understood what Min Qiu meant.
Obviously, the ones on the right are all strong men with plenty of stamina, and they are top-notch in each team; while those on the left are all thin and weak, or still young. This is to distinguish the pros and cons of the recruits, and everyone can see it.
"The people lined up on the left wait for me in the open space of the old barracks, and the people lined up on the right come with me." After Min Qiu finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the previous training ground. The people lined up on the right looked at each other in dismay. Finally, one person took the lead in keeping up with Min Qiu's pace, and the others followed suit.
Jiang also asked, "What does this mean?"
Wei Lin thought for a while: "It seems that it may be a distinction between good and bad. Some people are not suitable for war, now, such as Lin Zu."
Jiang also wanted to ask something, but he didn't speak for a long time, and Wei Lin added: "It seems that General Xue is quite optimistic about you."
"I don't think so." Jiang also said, "Xue Ziqin is not stupid, and I am not particularly outstanding. Picking me out to be with your group of people who are tall and big and beasts is not right."
"Hey, you're still taller than me."
"But you're a beast, I'm not."
