Chapter 914 Recruitment Competition

Now that the opportunity came, he hesitated. The long-term tranquility seemed to have worn away his will. Faced with such a recruitment, he hesitated.

But in the end, he still pulled out his sword, and the eyes reflected on the sword let him know that the fire in his heart had never been extinguished.

"So exaggerated?" Chen Xi looked at the documents handed in below and was speechless for a moment.

Almost all the original urban management brigade and Jinglingwei resigned and changed jobs. Except for a few physically handicapped people, basically everyone resigned and went to enlist in the army.

Moreover, with all the young people in Luoyang alone, the queue of applicants could wrap around the school grounds twice.

Even if the recruitment standards were raised, there was still an endless stream of applicants, and many veterans who were kicked out by him actually took the opportunity to come back.

The most outrageous person in the document is a 79-year-old veteran. When he was young, his internal energy was probably concentrated. Now his strength has declined a lot, but he still has a level of internal energy condensation, which is definitely enough according to the standards for conscription.

But he is really too old, which is why the people below specifically reported it.

"Take it. Since it has reached the standard, let's accept it!" Chen Xi thought for a long time before making the decision to accept it. At worst, he will be thrown into the recruits and become an instructor.

"Inform the newspaper office and publicize this matter vigorously. Why should the people be so worried!"

"One more thing... There is news from Xiliang that former Yulin Guards commander Zhang Yu has defected to the army. How should we deal with it?"

Chen Xi frowned. Although he didn't understand Zhang Yu, as the former leader of the Yulin Guards, he must be capable, but after all, it involved an issue of royal dignity.

"Let him go directly to the Western Region to report. After arriving, Li Ru will make the decision!"

Chen Xi thought for a while and chose to agree. There were too many problems left over from the history of the Han Dynasty. Although a lot of them had been cleared by the Qianbei Xiongnu, there were still many problems left behind.

It just so happens that we are still fighting the Northern Huns this time, so let’s continue washing.

There is nothing that cannot be solved by attacking the Northern Huns once. If there is anything, then attack it twice.

But Chen Xi found it strange that he had used his age card to eliminate so many soldiers.

It was just a strategy to adjust the economic class structure, but now it seems like it is hiding troops from the people.

"You don't know? Then how did you distribute supplies all these years?" Cao Cao looked at Chen Xi with an expression that looked like a monster. The welfare of the soldiers was handled by Chen Xi alone.

The procedure was so strict that he thought it was ridiculous. But with such a strict procedure, Chen Xi actually said that he didn't know how many veterans there were and how they had maintained it all these years.

In recent years, there has never been a case of depriving veterans of their benefits. Those who dared to stretch their claws were thrown directly to the Ministry of Punishment for processing as soon as they showed their heads.

This is also because Li Ru is not here. When Li Ru is here, Li Ru is solely responsible for handling this matter. Once a person is in Li Ru's hands, he will basically die, and it depends on the situation whether to ransack the house.

It can be said that this area is one of the absolute red lines of the Han Dynasty. Once touched, the only outcome will be death.

"Over the years, I have asked veterans to collect supplies on their own, and then make a unified calculation at the end of the year. Unless everyone falsifies together, the difference is basically the same!" Chen Xi said casually.

"Besides, I'm only responsible for distributing benefits on a per-capita basis. Who knew there were so many elite veterans!" Chen Xi rolled his eyes, indicating that he would not bear the blame.

"Hey, what do you think of me going to the Western Regions?" Cao Cao suddenly asked Chen Xi.

Chen Xi glanced at Cao Cao in surprise. He really didn't expect Cao Cao to say this.

"You've had enough of being a capable minister, do you want to be a hero?"

Cao Cao rolled his eyes at Chen Xi angrily and said rather discouragedly.

"With or without you, Sikong is the same. In contrast, the Western Region may need one person to control the situation. I'm not bragging. Xu Rong, Lu Zhi, and Li Ru are not that good!"

Cao Cao seemed to be talking to himself, but his expression was very serious.

"You can go if you want! There's just enough room for a Sikong position!" Chen Xi said casually.

"I'm serious!" Cao Cao was offended by Chen Xi's casual attitude.

"As you said, they really can't hold back the crowd, so it's a good choice for you to go!" Chen Xi said with a serious look on his face.

What Cao Cao said is actually correct. The person who leads a party does not necessarily need to be extremely smart, nor does he need to be extremely powerful. The test of the status of a monarch is actually the person who employs people and his courage.

Li Ru, Xu Rong, and Lu Zhi all have their own shortcomings. Combining them together may have counterproductive effects. One person is needed to integrate them.

There is no doubt that Cao Cao has such ability.

As the monarch of the Yusan Family, he is currently the only one who has not been exposed to outsiders.

The world described by Cao Ang really attracted him, and his long-dormant blood seemed to begin to boil.

However, perhaps more importantly, Cao Cao wanted to stay away from these two monsters, Chen Xi and Liu Ying, which made his head hurt every time.

He didn't want to go to the hospital again because he was angry. That guy Hua Tuo was always thinking about doing a craniotomy on him. Only a fool would believe such nonsense as craniotomy.

"Then I'm going to recruit troops. I wanted to form a cavalry before, but never had the chance. This time I'll give it a try!"

Cao Cao was a little excited when he said this. He was also a master of military arts. He also studied the military inheritance of the eight classics. He was also recognized by the Marquis of Huaiyin personally as a man capable of commanding a large army.

However, he had always been engaged in civilian work, and he really had an idea about the formation of heavy cavalry.

"I've already thought of a name. I'll call him Tiger Leopard Cavalry."

Chen Xi scratched his head, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were also well-known as a special unit. Judging from the current average level, they might be at the level of the third-talent seed, a guaranteed imperial guard.

Wei Xu, who was in charge of recruiting troops in Luoyang, looked at the young man in front of him with pain. With such momentum and demeanor, he almost thought he saw Yue Fei.

As Lü Bu's brother-in-law, he had retired from the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry a long time ago. Relying on his military exploits and his relationship with Lü Bu, he worked as a sinecure in Luoyang. This time he was transferred to be responsible for recruiting soldiers and recruiting young men.

After all, the strength of Nei Qi Li Body was dispersed across the country to recruit soldiers. Although he was a parallel import of Nei Qi Li Body, he was still a parallel import, so he was pulled out to fill up the ranks. He was mainly responsible for recruiting retired veterans.

It's okay for the new recruits, but the retired veterans are really full of strange things, and it's really hard to do without a reliable boss.

"You are so young, you are not a veteran, right?" Wei Xu asked cautiously.

"They said that someone with my level of ability should report directly here. The recruit side is not suitable for me!" the young man said honestly.

"Show your hands!"

The young man scratched his head, turned his palm into a blade, and then flicked his hand, cutting the iron gun on the side into two pieces.

"The inner air leaves the body?"

Wei Xu took a breath, it was bad that Li Gui met Li Kui, he was a parallel importer.

Veteran recruitment is here, but the status is divided according to strength. If you beat the corps commander, you will be the corps commander, and if you beat the centurion, you will be the centurion. At present, the only one who can fight the opponent is himself.

"Come on, let's fight!" Wei Xu couldn't retreat at this time, so he could only push forward with his scalp.

As soon as the two sides touched hands, the air between them exploded, forming a circle of white mist.

Wei Xu smiled awkwardly, but the young man opposite him kept his hands away, otherwise he would be injured if he was naked.

After fighting each other, he roughly understood the strength gap between the two sides. The opponent was not a weakling in the field of inner energy separation.

With the cloud energy, he can sustain a dozen moves, but without the cloud energy, he will die after three moves.

"You win, this position is given to you, now you are responsible for recruiting people, the requirements are written here, you can take care of it, I will find someone to handle the procedures for you!" Wei Xu sighed helplessly.

"By the way, what's your name!"

"Guo Ziyi!" The young man smiled and calmly accepted Wei Xu's abdication in favor of a more talented person. The soldiers around him did not have any gossip. In the army, the strong always came first.

Wei Xu took a deep look at Guo Ziyi. He knew that this name would be resounding throughout the Han Dynasty in the future. Such a young man would never remain anonymous if he encountered a war.

The situation in Luoyang is special. In addition, due to the veterans of Jingling Guards and Urban Management, there are very few retired veterans in the opposition. This is also the reason why Wei Xu was able to be promoted.

But the situation is different in other continents.

In particular, the three places of Liangzhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou have fought the most fiercely over the years, producing the most people, and naturally more people retired in the end.

When people in Youzhou near northern Xinjiang heard about the conscription, they went to the recruitment point in Youzhou overnight.

The centurion who was recruiting troops looked at the veteran Liao Ping in front of him with a strange expression, not knowing what to say.

Liao Ping was the first soldier to be discharged from the army and served as a recruit instructor for a period of time. When recruiting soldiers, this centurion also received training under Liao Ping.

"Xiao Lizi, remember, Liao Ping, seven levels of smelting!"

Liao Ping obviously remembered this centurion. After all, he was able to become a centurion. He was somewhat outstanding when he was a new recruit.

"Hey, who among you is forcing who to lead the team?" Liao Ping turned around and looked at the notice next to the centurion and was amused.

When he heard that there was no restriction on conscription, he hurried on his way without even seeing it with his own eyes, but now he was just happy when he saw it.

"Please enlighten me!" The centurion, who originally thought he had escaped death, looked ugly, but he still stood up and said bravely.

He knew that Liao Ping was discharged first, so as long as he stayed close, he still had a chance.

As a result, Liao Ping just calmly raised his hand and the centurion rolled his eyes and fainted.

"So, you still have to practice. You won't be able to catch my ten-year will attack!" Liao Ping took the centurion's position with a golden sword and signaled to the soldiers on the side to drag him away.

Looking at the most familiar scene in his memory, and smelling the unique smell of iron and blood in the military camp, Liao Ping felt like he was alive again.

When Chen Xi forced them to retire, they actually understood that this was a gift to them.

The Han Dynasty was too strong, so strong that they no longer needed veterans like them to work hard, but strong enough that they could enjoy life.

Although I don't know why the Han Dynasty suddenly started recruiting troops this time, this is an opportunity for him to return to the army.

Some people are only suitable for being shrouded in horse leather, but not for ordinary people. Especially people like him who have seen all kinds of big scenes, they have long been unwilling to live a plain and warm life.

So even after he retired, he still maintained high-intensity training, which is why he has the strength he has now.

He is a veteran of Youzhou, and he was one of the first centurions to ascend first. If he hadn't been forcibly kicked out of the team by Chen Xi, he would still be at least one of the centurions who ascended first.
