"Yes!" Liu Xiu was overjoyed to see her eldest brother finally relaxed, and bowed her hands in a decent manner.
Everyone present was amused by his appearance, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
Liu Yan turned his eyes and looked at Long Yuan beside Liu Xiu, and asked with suspicion: "Axiu, who is this?"
"His name is Uncle Long Zhong. He is a friend I met at the market. He heard that I was going to join the rebel army, so Uncle Zhong came with me." Liu Xiu had already thought of his words.
Long Yuan's identity is too special and cannot be exposed. The eldest brother is trustworthy, but not all of the people around the eldest brother may be trustworthy. In addition, it is difficult for him to say that Long Yuan has joined his army and considers himself the lord.
Liu Yan looked at Long Yuan again and felt that this man's temperament was unusual. He asked tentatively: "Are you a martial arts practitioner?"
Long Yuan bowed to Liu Yan and said, "I have practiced some postures, but I have practiced them very mediocrely and cannot reach the level of elegance."
Liu Yan smiled and said: "You are better if you practice than if you don't practice. You can follow us, but you must take good care of my third brother."
Long Yuan said seriously: "Yes! Brother Liu!"
In fact, there is no need for Liu Yan to explain, Long Yuan naturally regards protecting Liu Xiu as his first priority.
After Liu Xiu, his eldest brother and others gathered together, they went to Xiangyang together.
There was no talking all the way. Three hours later, Liu Xiu, Liu Yan and others arrived at Xiangyang City smoothly.
Xiangyang is a big city with tens of thousands of people in the city. Now Xiangyang has become one of the gathering places for the rebels, and there are even more people in the city.
The registration place for the rebels is at the county government office, and the county magistrate, county magistrate, and county lieutenant of Xiangyang are personally responsible for the recruitment matters.
In counties with more than 10,000 people, the highest administrative official is called the county magistrate; in counties with less than 10,000 people, the highest administrative official is called the county magistrate. The county magistrate is in charge of civil affairs, and the county lieutenant is in charge of local officers and soldiers.
There were quite a few people who came to sign up, and the queue was quite long. Liu Yan had to wait for more than half an hour before it was his turn.
Registering with him were two petty officials, while County Lieutenant Peng Yong sat aside, closing his eyes and concentrating.
A clerk glanced at Liu Yan, picked up a bamboo sign, and asked: "Name?"
"I am Liu Yan, whose courtesy name is Bosheng."
"Place of origin?" The clerk took up his pen and wrote Liu Yan's name on the bamboo sign, and asked at the same time.
"Nanyang County, Caiyang County."
Xiao Shi finished writing in a few strokes, then pushed the bamboo sign in front of Liu Yan and said, "Okay, next one."
Liu Yan took the bamboo sign, looked at it, stood still and said, "I didn't come alone, there are dozens of brothers!"
Hearing this, the young official looked at him a few more times in surprise. Even Peng Yong, who was closing his eyes and concentrating next to him, opened his eyes and looked at Liu Yan curiously. Before the young official could speak, Peng Yong asked: "Your name is Liu Yan." ?”
"Exactly."
"How many people did you bring?"
"Twenty-seven people."
Peng Yong stood up, slowly walked up to Liu Yan, looked him up and down, and asked, "Have you ever practiced martial arts?"
"Practice."
Peng Yong raised the corner of his mouth, nuzzled at the stone pillars on the side, and said: "Go over and try to see if you can lift the stone pillars."
Liu Yan turned around and took a look. There were several stone piers, some large and some small. They were all polished from a single piece of stone, with handles engraved on them.
After looking at it, he shook his head. Peng Yong raised the corners of his mouth, chuckled, and sneered: "You can't even lift such a stone pillar, how dare you say that you have practiced martial arts?"
Those who signed up later also cast disdainful glances at Liu Yan.
Liu Yan smiled calmly and said: "Sir, it's not that I can't lift them, but I think these stone pillars are too small."
Peng Yong was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said: "The tone is not small, please mention one and let me see it."
There are big and small stone piers, but even the small one weighs at least seventy or eighty kilograms, which is not something ordinary people can lift.
Liu Yan shrugged disapprovingly, walked forward casually, lowered his head, looked around, and patted the largest stone pillar casually.
Seeing this, everyone present couldn't help but widen their eyes. The stone pillar Liu Yan photographed probably weighed no less than a hundred kilograms.
Liu Yan grabbed the handle on the stone pier, and without even accumulating strength, he lifted the largest stone pier with one hand like a chicken.
He also weighed it up and down and curled his lips back in disapproval.
The scene was silent for a moment. Zhang Ping and Zhu Yun were the first to come to their senses. They shouted in unison: "Okay!" and were the first to applaud.
As soon as the two of them took the lead, everyone present came to their senses and applauded along with them.
Many people are talking: "Who is this person? Why is he so strong?"
"I heard his name is Liu Yan!" "Liu Yan? I've never heard of such a person!" "I know him, Liu Yan Liu Boxheng, he is very famous in the Caiyang area..."
Seeing that his eldest brother could easily lift the largest stone pillar, Liu Xiu was proud of you and clapped his hands. Long Yuan also nodded secretly. This eldest brother of my lord has really amazing arm strength!
The thunderous applause and cheers below made Liu Yan's nerves get excited.
He flipped his wrist holding the stone pier, from lifting it to holding it. Then, he lifted another stone pier, and with a clang, it landed on top of the stone pier he was holding up. Then, he held it with one hand. The two stone pillars clustered together were slowly raised above their heads.
At this moment, the scene suddenly became quiet. There was no applause or cheers. Everyone, including the county captain Peng Yong, was stunned by Liu Yan's natural power.
Two stone blocks, weighing no less than two hundred kilograms, were lifted with one hand. How strong must this man be?
Liu Yan held two stone pillars high and walked back and forth easily on the field, as if he was not lifting a weight of more than 200 kilograms, but two small stones.
He looked around at the people present, without blushing, and said loudly and breathlessly: "It's a pity that there is no room for more, otherwise even if there are a few more stone blocks, I can still lift it!"
Wow——
The silent atmosphere at the scene was suddenly broken, and people were in an uproar. Liu Xiu, Zhang Ping, Zhu Yun and others applauded with all their strength.
Liu Yan's skill was truly astonishing and deeply shocked everyone present.
On this day, everyone in Xiangyang City heard that a man with natural supernatural power came from the rebel army, named Liu Yan and Liu Boxheng. This man could move a thousand kilograms of power with one arm, and infinite power with two arms.
After Peng Yong came to his senses, he quickly walked up to Liu Yan, but when he saw the two stone pillars he held high, he subconsciously took two steps back, waved and said, "Okay, okay, uncle." Sheng, put down the stone pillar quickly!"
Liu Yan continued to hold up the stone pillar and asked with a smile: "Do you think I can pass the test?"
"I've passed the test, I've passed the test, hurry up, hurry up, let it go!" Peng Yong nodded repeatedly.
When Liu Yan heard this, he laughed twice, and then he threw the two stone pillars to the ground with satisfaction, making two muffled sounds.
There were some good people nearby who even ran forward to try to see if they could lift the stone. But those who tried, even if they grasped the stone with both hands and exerted all their strength, could only do it with difficulty. Just mentioning it a little bit.
At this time, people looked at Liu Yan with eyes full of admiration and wonder. They couldn't help but raise their thumbs up in their hearts. This man is truly a god!
Perhaps it is in line with the saying that gold will shine sooner or later. In this era of chaos and chaos, how can a talented person like Liu Yan be buried?
Peng Yong came to Liu Yan, smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, and praised repeatedly: "Bosheng has supernatural power, Bosheng has supernatural power!"
He praised him several times, then picked up the military badge given to Liu Yan by the clerk, threw it back, and said seriously: "With Bo Sheng's courage, how can he be a mere soldier?! Bo Sheng is serving as a military lord by my side. Is it a good job?"
Military Marquis is equivalent to Qu Chang.
According to the establishment of the Han army, five hundred people are in a band, there is one military marquis, one hundred people are in a camp, there is one camp leader, fifty people are in a team, one person is in charge of the team, five people are in a team, and there is one team leader.
Above the commander is the army commander, who can lead a unit, and above him is the captain.
Many movies, TV dramas, storytelling and other works have downplayed the position of the school captain. There are often words such as "chop a small school captain to death with one knife" or "shoot a small school captain to death with one arrow". In fact, the position of school captain is not Not low, his salary is as much as two thousand dan. In terms of rank, he is on the same level as the prefect of the county and the captain of the county.
Peng Yong was a county lieutenant. When placed in the army, he could not reach the level of a school lieutenant. He was at best a military commander. The official position he gave Liu Yan was a military marquis, which was second only to him.
As a person who had just joined the rebel army, being promoted to the rank of military commander all of a sudden was enough to be enviable, but Liu Yan didn't take it to heart at all.
He joined the rebel army not to be an official, but just to make a fortune. When the war is over, he will return to his hometown, recruit troops, and accumulate his own strength.
He didn't agree in his heart, but he still had to pretend on the surface. He stepped in and saluted Peng Yong and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, sir!"
Peng Yong was in a good mood and started laughing.
The army of the New Dynasty was roughly divided into three systems: the first was the capital army, the second was the local army, and the third was the border army.
The rebel army will be incorporated into the local army. Xiangyang is one of the strongholds for forming the rebel army. County Lieutenant Peng Yong will also lead the Xiangyang rebel army into Yizhou to cooperate with Lian Dan's capital army.
Peng Yong didn't have much confidence in this battle. The rebels he had recruited in the past few days were all crooked and had no fighting capacity at all.
Liu Yan's arrival was like a shot in the arm, and it also gave Peng Yong some confidence in the rebel army he commanded.
As Liu Yan was promoted to a military rank, the clerks in the yamen became much more polite to him. Under Liu Yan's greeting, Liu Xiu and others also successfully registered.
As the saying goes, when one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. Liu Yan became a military commander, and naturally the people around him would not become soldiers.
Zhang Ping, Zhu Yun and others were either appointed as village commanders or team leaders by him. As for his younger brother Liu Xiu, he did not assign any positions to him and only allowed him to stay by his side.
Liu Xiu was very dissatisfied with this, so he went to Liu Yan and said, "Brother, even if I can't be a village commander and lead a team, I can at least be a corps commander, right?"
Liu Yan glared at his younger brother, pulled Liu Xiu to a deserted place, and scolded him in a low voice: "Axiu, do you think it's good to be a soldier? When it comes to fighting, if you want to be at the front, just be honest. Please stay by my side, and if you don’t obey me, take me home right away!”
