New Story of Lv Bu

: Chapter 24: Aftermath (3)

Wow, the surroundings suddenly boiled. At this time, the very long salary was only 30 shi, half and half grain, and the money was still small money. A thousand small money can only be exchanged for five hundred meat and five baht. Nowadays, a dying salary in Lu Fengxian's army is at least equivalent to that of a Han army. Can everyone not talk about it? There are also doubts, so someone asked. "This brother, isn't Mo Lu Fengxian bragging? Can you cash it out?" The brother looked up and down the questioner. "Xiongtai, you are not from Wuyuan County at first sight." "Xiongtai has a very good vision. Someone came from Yanmen Mayi." "Oh, no wonder I don't know. When Lu Feng was the chief of the army, the army In this way, the Chinese pays the salary, and the new meat is five baht!" "In this way, a regular pawn's salary is better than anything! A certain must be selected!" This kind of conversation was several hundred in an instant. Time, until everyone got the exact news.

In the stands, Wang Jin was puzzled and asked Ma Han next to him quietly. "Old predecessors, isn't this salary a bit high? Did Lu Feng start first?" Ma Han laughed, "Shijun, Lu Feng first started! He has been raising the army with private money for two full years! As far as I know, Zuo Quqiantun has seized a lot, and this salary has long been ignored!" "That's it!" Wang Jin nodded, relieved, there must be a brave husband under the reward. But that's it!

After Lu Bu's explanation, the strength test began. There is a stone lock on the playground. The lightest is 400 jin, and the heaviest is 2,000 jin. Lifting 400 jin is qualified (Eastern Han Dynasty one jin is equal to 250 grams for later generations). The crowd was divided into ten groups and entered the arena in file. The examiner recorded the results on the bamboo slips while calling. "Zhang Wu, six hundred jin! Pass" "Zhang Wang, four hundred jin, pass!" The one who passed went directly to the next area, and returned to the original road that didn't pass.

After half an hour, the dust settled, and 95% of the people passed the test. Wang Jin nodded frequently. "It is often heard that Yanzhao are many generous people, and the frontier people are skilled at bowing horses, and even women can mount horses to kill the enemy. Today it seems that this is true!" Chang Shi Huang Chong laughed and said, "Bring the monarch to the sturdy state of the people. The archer is skilled, and it is indeed a place to raise soldiers. Today, I have to make you come here, and the people of Wuyuan are fortunate!" This flattery made Wang Jin feel very comfortable, and he said a few words of humility.

Seeing that everyone had finished the test, the examiner gave an order, and the people lined up in a square array. The examiners placed a pile of blue bricks and a bundle of cloth strips beside each of them. Lü Bu stood on a high place and looked around with his eyes: "Everyone! Each pile of blue bricks weighs 120 kilograms, bear these on him, and march forty miles within half an hour is qualified! The load cannot be lightened." Everyone suddenly. There was an uproar, but the military order was hard to violate, and they acted immediately one by one.

Jun Cheng Ma Han naturally didn't want Huang Chong to steal the limelight, and explained to Wang Jin with a smile. "Shijun, Lu Fengxian's move is very meaningful. If nothing else, it is knowledge to say how to load this blue brick. Please see, the strong man just lashed it indiscriminately for a few times and carried it on his body. Will disperse. This one is more clever. Wrap cloth strips tightly around his chest and back, so he will hold on for a long time." Wang Jin suddenly realized: "It turns out that from this moment, the test really begins! No wonder Zuo Qu The casualties in Qiantun have always been small, so they are all smart people!" Hahahaha, the three adults laughed together.

Seeing that the crowd was tied together, Lu Bu stood up, his back, arms, and legs were all **** with bricks. Lü Bu said loudly: "Everyone goes straight to the south gate of Jiuyuan City, where someone will buckle a mark on the hand of the person who arrives, and then return on the same road. After half an hour, let's go!" After speaking, Lü Bu took the lead and ran northward with a stride. Everyone yelled and kicked their feet together and ran towards Jiuyuan City.

The gatekeeper of Jiuyuan City stood on the watchtower, and saw thousands of people flooding toward the south gate. He was so frightened that he ordered the gate to be closed. The man next to him tugged him: "Bo Du, today's selection of the front in Lujiazhuang, is it a test of selection? That's how Lu Junhou did it last time, how come there are thousands of people this time?" That Du Bo slapped his forehead. "I forgot. There is such a thing. Zuo Qu said hello yesterday. Their people are waiting outside the city gate." Looking down at the city, there are fifty or sixty people with one or two right hands. An inch-square wood print, a box of ink pad in the left hand, is standing against the wind.

"This Lu Fengxian, do all his best!" Uncle Du whispered. "But it's still really looking forward to it. If You Qu Junhou is not my uncle, I will choose the front too!"

Four to five thousand people rushed desperately, and everyone was afraid of missing time. As soon as they ran, they were in trouble. Most of the people who started the race indiscriminately bundled the bricks and tiles into a ball and ran on their shoulders. The cloth strips fell apart without running far, so I had to stop and tie them carefully. Those who started the race in the end were all clever, they all wrapped the blue bricks tightly with cloth strips, and rushed forward like a gust of wind at this moment. The person who was tying up the bricks suddenly realized that the trick is here!

Wei Xu and Yan Kuan were also in the crowd. Wei Xu was more careful, first watching how Lv Bu moves and then learning how to do it. The backs of his arms were firmly tied with blue bricks. Yan Kuan was born as a young master. Although his physical fitness is good, he always stretches out his hands for food to open his mouth, and has never done any rough work. His blue bricks were bundled indiscriminately, and as soon as he ran out of the ground two miles, the blue bricks were scattered all over the floor. He cursed a few times, and had to stop and tie it up. When he was in a hurry, he got messed up and made mistakes in his hurry, and the cloth strips were tied into knots. Yan Kuan slapped his fist on the ground and cursed: "Being a **** is so troublesome! I'm so angry with the uncle."

Simply sit down and rest. At this moment, a person dashed past him and suddenly retreated. He squatted down and drew out the dagger to cut the cloth strips, lifted up Yan Kuan and tied the blue bricks on him. Yan Kuan fixed his eyes to see that it was Wei Xu. "Da Lang, you are the future Patriarch of the Yan family. You can't bear this bit of suffering. How can you take charge of the Yan family in the future?" Yan Kuan-wan is true, but there is a problem. He loves face and cannot be stimulated. He stands up immediately when he hears this. Up. "Father, brother-in-law, I want you to see that I am a man, Yan Kuan!" As soon as the heart calmed down, the score was in hand. Half a stick of incense, the whole body was cleaned up, and the two of them just started. Yan Kuan looked back, and the floor was all stopped to tie the blue bricks, fearing that there would not be two or three thousand people. Now he felt a little calmer, and there are still a lot of fools who dare to love me like uncle and me!

Lu Bu ran ahead first, followed by his men. This weight-bearing cross-country is a regular lesson in Zuoquqiantun. Everyone has played well. How to tie the cloth to that part of the book is already familiar to everyone. This group of people is the first echelon and is far in front. Wei Yue’s 200 Qiang veterans are the second echelon. The two hundred people have followed Zhang Huan for several years. They are all veterans whose eyes are not ordinary poison. They have already followed Lu Bu's vision. The appearance is neatly bundled, and the physical strength is excellent, tightly biting the first echelon. Next came Lü Bu's five hundred private soldiers and some of the heroes of the state, there were about a thousand people. In the end, more than two thousand people were busy tying up the blue bricks.

In an instant, Lu Bu had already rushed to the south gate of Jiuyuan. A small official buckled his right hand covered with inkpad. Lu Bu nodded and turned back and ran towards the road. The next fifty or sixty little officials stepped forward one by one for a while, and the first echelon went. Seeing the flow of people coming from behind, one little official slapped his lips. "How many people are there today! There are always three or four thousand?" Another young official stamped his hand skillfully, but his mouth did not stop. "Three or four thousand, more than five thousand! Looking at it this way, the next time you choose a frontman will always cost ten or twenty thousand!"

The return journey was much smoother. Everyone understood the principle of sharpening knives and not cutting wood by mistake, and the blue bricks were tied extremely solidly. In the second half of the fight, it was physical strength. One point earlier would have one more chance of winning. Everyone ran desperately. Yan Kuan has a good physique. He often walks and shoots hunting, but this is the first time he has run with a load like this. I barely persevered in the first half of the journey, but was a little overwhelmed in the second half. When I ran, my legs became weak and I couldn't move. I always wanted to sit down and rest. Wei Xu repeatedly encouraged him: "Da Lang, you can't stop. Once you stop, you don't want to get up again. Come on, learn how to breathe evenly, and run at the rate of breathing." Yan Kuan held his heart in a sigh of relief. , Reluctantly followed Wei Xu's method, and finally lasted two or three miles. After the most painful period of time passed, the body seemed to adapt a lot, and it was able to keep up with Wei Xu's pace.

Slowly Yan Kuan had some spare energy to look at the surrounding situation, and everyone's speed slowed down. The first and second echelons are long gone, there are more than a thousand people behind him, some people slowly surpass him, and many people in front also stop and rest. "Go, speed up a little bit, so that brother-in-law can't let the brother-in-law read the joke!" Yan Kuan panted heavily and said to Wei Xu. Wei Xu nodded, and the two accelerated and ran forward.

I don't know how long it has passed. I have seen the examiner's figure in front of him. There is a corona in front of him. A dozen people form a group, and Lu Bu is among them. Seeing the two figures, Lu Bu shouted: "Speed ​​up! Otherwise it's too late!" Yan Kuan desperately tried to speed up, but his legs were shaking. Wei Xu stretched out a hand and leaned behind him to give him a little bit. thrust. "Da Lang, success or failure is at this moment! I have to run to my life!" Yan Kuan's second stupefied energy was immediately aroused, and a trombone uttered in his mouth, just like an injured hungry wolf rushing forward! It's near! It's near! Lu Bu was still yelling: "Hurry up!" The chronographer shouted: "There are still fifteen breaths before the end!" Yan Kuan could not run anymore, his body's potential was exhausted, and his **** crooked. Sit down and rest. Wei Xu's eyes were quick, and he ran forward and grabbed his left hand, pulling him to the finish line. Yan Kuan ran for more than a hundred steps, but couldn't hold on anymore, his **** was solid and intimate contact with the ground. Wei Xu yelled and dragged his left arm to the death of the dog, dragging him past the finish line.

Clang clang, three gongs sounded, and the timer's little official announced expressionlessly: "The time is up! Three thousand three hundred and seventy-eight qualified people!" Yan Kuan lay on the ground, closed his eyes, and his mind was dizzy. I don't know how long he has passed, he slowly opened his eyes, and Wei Xu's smile was facing him. "Erlang, did we pass?" Wei Xu nodded: "It's over, the last one and the second last." Yan Kuan closed his eyes: "Erlang, leave me alone, let me fly for a while."
