Chapter 24 Yi Cong Selection

The soldiers could encourage but not vent, so Zhang Yue decided to reward the prisoners of war.

But the scale of this reward was difficult to grasp. After weighing it repeatedly, Zhang Yue decided to start with food.

"Starting from tomorrow, food rations will be increased by 20%!"

"Wow..."

The prisoners of war cheered when they heard the news.

Some people were dissatisfied with Zhang Yue's decision at first, but the facts proved that this decision was correct.

The improvement in treatment made the prisoners of war more enthusiastic about work.

After Li Si's calculation work efficiency has been improved by four levels.

"Okay, pass on my order. From now on, they will be given a meal of meat every three days, and the ten best performers will be given a bowl of wine..."

"I wish Zhang Jun may you be a prince forever..."

After the order was issued, the work efficiency of the prisoners of war was improved again.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and finally it was the day of selection for Yi Cong.

On this day, the prisoners of war came to the school grounds at Taniguchi happily. Everyone was eager to defeat others in the selection and get the chance to become a voluntary servant of the Han army.

This time, the Yi Cong selection mainly consists of five projects, each with 20 points. The twenty people with the highest scores will become the first batch of Yi Cong in the fort.

The five events are: 1: 10-mile running with weight; 2: Riding; 3: Archery; 4: Close combat; 5: Language assessment

The first four items are all assessments of combat ability. The last item was Zhang Yue's insistence on adding it because communication is also very important in the army. If communication between soldiers is a problem, how much combat effectiveness can be exerted?

.

Of course, Zhang Yue still had some selfish motives for doing this. He never gave up the idea of ​​turning Hu into a Han.

Although the method of indoctrination cannot be used directly now, no one should object to the subtle changes in this group of prisoners.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhang Yue, Li Si and Guo Kai quickly walked to the earth platform of the school ground.

At Zhang Yue's signal, the people in the audience quickly became quiet.

At this time, Zhang Yuecai said loudly: "The second and third sons all had the experience of being thieves, but I feel that this is not entirely your fault. With the approval of the superiors, we will give the second and third sons a chance to redeem their sins. Today, 20 of the second and third sons will be selected.

As a member of the Han Army, this is also an opportunity for the second and third sons to change their destiny. Whether you can seize it depends on you..."

Zhang Yue paused for a moment, looked around, and then continued, "Next, let Li Dubo explain the selection rules to the second and third sons!"

"Thank you so much for your mercy!" the prisoners said excitedly.

Zhang Yue nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that his methods during this period were indeed good, and the prisoners no longer had much resistance.

He gestured to Li Si with a smile, and then retreated to the back.

Li Si nodded slightly at Zhang Yue, and then strode to the front of the stage.

"Second and Third Sons, this selection of Yi Cong is all fought for by Zhang Bai for you. You must make good use of this plan.

There are a total of five assessments this time. The first is a ten-mile walk with a heavy load...the fifth is Mandarin listening and speaking.

Each of the five items is worth 20 points, and the full score is 100 points. The top 20 with the total score will be selected as Yicong. Those who are selected as Yicong of our Han Army will be our brothers Pao Ze.

I hope that the second and third sons will go all out and live up to General Zhang Bai’s high expectations...Okay, now General Zhang Bai will announce the start of the selection!"

Zhang Yue walked to the stage and said loudly: "The second and third sons will only get their fame from the horse. I hope you will work hard. Now I announce the start of the selection!"

After Zhang Yue announced the start, the Han soldiers in the audience led the prisoners to the edge of the school field, where supplies needed for the assessment had been prepared the day before.

The horse thieves had to queue up to receive the items they needed to carry. They all weighed the same, each weighing 80 kilograms (one kilogram in the Han Dynasty was 257-250 grams). This was also the normal weight of items carried by a Han soldier in battle.

A quarter of an hour later, the prisoners were all ready. As a horn sounded, the prisoners rushed forward.

Looking at the prisoners running desperately in front of him, Zhang Yue felt a surge of pride rising from his heart. His original idea was correct. As long as he absorbed this group of prisoners of war, he could start his next plan.

If you can wipe out the bandits in the northwest and incorporate these manpower into your own army, you will have more than two hundred cavalry. Although it cannot affect the overall situation, it is enough to deal with most of the small tribes on the grassland.

Entering the desert from the northwest of Longjiao Fort, following the route provided by Yang You, it only takes 4 days to reach Mobei. There are no more than 200 light cavalry, which is just suitable for raiding the Huns.

If everything goes well, he should have the opportunity to become a Sima of another department within five years, and then he may be able to intervene in the battle of Junji Mountain.

When later generations read history, whenever they read about the Battle of Junji Mountain, Zhang Yue was often deeply moved. Li Ling used 5,000 infantry against the 100,000 cavalry of Jie Tuanhou Chanyu, and was able to win many times. In the end, it was because the traitor betrayed He.

Running out of ammunition and food leads to failure!

Although we only look at this battle, it seems that the Han army only lost 5,000 infantry, plus two generals.

But the real danger is not here, but that after this battle, the Han army only had the main field army in the hands of Li Guangli.

It was precisely because of the defeat at Junjishan that the Han army was unable to pose a serious threat to the Huns on the eastern front in the following decades, allowing the Huns to concentrate all their forces to compete with the Han army in the Western Regions.

In addition, due to Li Ling's surrender, the internal situation of the Han army was fully known to the Huns. With Li Ling's help and training, the Huns' combat effectiveness was also greatly improved.

In the end, Li Guangli's army was completely wiped out by the Huns army commanded by Li Ling in the Battle of Yanran Mountain.

After the defeat at Yanran Mountain, the Han army had to temporarily withdraw from the Western Regions. During this period, more than 100,000 Han people in the Western Regions were almost massacred by the Huns.

Zhang Yue also has the ambition of "doing good and benefiting the world". Since God has allowed him to come to this era, he will never let this tragedy happen again.

But if you want to change all this, you first need to have enough strength. For Zhang Yue, there is only one way now.

Only by doing everything possible to gain military merit and climb to a higher position can you achieve your goals!

When Zhang Yue was thinking about his thoughts, the first assessment had ended, and now the second assessment had begun.

These guys are worthy of being born as horse thieves. Their riding skills are quite good. In order to get higher scores, even though they don't have stirrups, they still do all kinds of tricks on horseback.

Zhang Yue was dazzled by what he saw and his mouth watered. They were all born cavalry. Zhang Yue even had the urge to include them all in Yi Cong...
