The tribe members sent by the Zhang family were Zhang Zhuang, whose courtesy name was Zhengxun. He was an outstanding junior of the Zhang family. He was proficient in all kinds of martial arts.

Zhang Zhengxun is not the best martial arts child of the Zhang family, but he is well-versed in strategy and has a great reputation in the family. He is best at fighting in the nest!

Therefore, for the sake of family harmony and peace, he was naturally recommended to Liu Xiongming's army, preparing to compete with the people in the other four major families for a long and short period of time.

The tribe members sent by the Fu family are named Fu Li, whose courtesy name is Mengniu. As his name is, others are not only outstanding in martial arts, but also powerful as a ox. They are the masters of running horses on their fists.

Fu Mengniu pursued the truth that "the fist is the king's law" and was eager to kill the enemy and make achievements in the army. Therefore, he was sent by the Fu family to Liu Xiongming's army to be convinced with his strength.

The clan member sent by the Yang family was named Yang Kui, whose courtesy name was Zhenbang, and he was also the first among the Yang family's descendants. He was very skilled in martial arts and was well-versed in military tactics.

There are many generals in the Yang family in the Xiliang army and do not care much about this small position of deputy general. The reason why they sent people to join Liu Xiongming's army was purely for their allies, and they expressed their advance and retreat with several major families, and by the way, show the strength of the Yang family.

Yang Kui also had his own purpose when entering the army, mainly for experience. Of course, no one can refuse to get promoted or make money.

Because the Hu family has no background in the government, it is three points lower than the lintels of these major families. This time, Zhong Yao presided over the recruitment of Liu Xiongming, and there was nothing wrong with their Hu family.

However, the Hu family was well-informed and took the opportunity to negotiate with the four major families. On the condition of providing two thousand people with weapons, armor, goods, and military rations, they obtained a place to join.

The Hu family has invested a lot of money this time, mainly because they have high expectations for the descendants of Hu Zun, a family.

Hu Zun was known as a child prodigy since childhood, and when he grew up, he was even more amazing. He was both civil and military, and was trained by the family.

Hu Zun did not disappoint his family's expectations. After layers of selection in the competitions attended by hundreds of tribesmen, Hu Zun stood out and obtained the qualification to become an official.

Several major families were ready. In order to show their strength, thousands of people gathered together and came to Liujiazhai in a mighty manner.

Ma Su set out from Tianshui to Lantian, and the journey was not close. He traveled day and night. Finally, before Liu Xiongming's "match of martial arts and commanders" began, he came to Liujiazhai.

Xing Daorong and He Yun had already brought the guards to Liujiazhai. They wanted to separate their relationship with Fang Shan. Before joining Liu Xiongming's army, they all led more than 20 people to occupy a tent, which was considered a force.

When they saw Ma Su, they just exchanged their eyes and nodded, but did not come to greet them.

As the new deputy leader of Liujiazhai, Fang Shan is responsible for the reception of this competition to win the commander. The so-called "three fires of new officials taking office", he strives for perfection in everything, and he won everyone's respect with his own ability.

He had been waiting for Ma Su to arrive. As soon as Ma Su showed up, he happened to be patrolling outside and welcomed him into the camp with the best conditions to rest.

This time, Liu Xiongming opened the mountain gate to recruit soldiers and horses, but the effect was not good. Except for the five major families and Ma Su and other teams, the rest of the people who came to join were only three or two kittens and dogs.

Today is the last day of registration. At noon, Ma Su was resting, and there were crowds of people outside. It was Zhong Yue, Zhang Zhuang, Fu Li, Yang Kui and Hu Zun. More than 2,000 people from the five major families were all here.

There was nothing to say all night. Early the next morning, Liu Xiongming took everyone to the martial arts venue as soon as he saw that almost everyone was coming.

There were many people coming this time. Liu Xiongming was also a little worried while being happy, afraid that he would be the main guest of the five major families and occupy the magpie nest!

Today is the first day of the competition for the generals. Seeing that it was not too early, Liu Xiongming announced that the competition for the generals officially began.

Without rules, there is no square circumference. The first person to go to power is Fang Shan, the deputy leader of the village, who announced the rules of "competing for martial arts and winning the commander".

The five major families are preparing to compete for as many as five positions, but because there are not many masters in Liu Xiongming's army, there are only three or five people who sign up for each position. Except for the five major families and Ma Su, the rest are all centurions under Liu Xiongming's men making up the numbers.

The rules of the competition are very simple, which is to compete for each position without limiting the number of people to register, but a person can only apply for one position.

The competition to win the coach is also a traditional arena tactic, which is a one-on-one knockout match. The Warriors who win the final victory can get the position they compete for.

Originally, Liu Xiongming's military system was very simple. In order to maintain his absolute authority, he did not set up a deputy for himself. In addition to being fully responsible, there were all centurions who were directly under his jurisdiction.

Under the centurion, like the Han military system, the team leader, the sergeant commander, etc. were set.

Because he wanted to expand his army and strive to obtain a decent position, Liu Xiongming divided the army into five divisions of the front, back, left, right and central according to the Han military system. Each division had a chief general. Although the army and generals were still illusory, it did not affect his establishment.

Liu Xiongming had already made up his plan and divided the army into two parts. He led more than 2,000 elite troops as the central army, and Fang Shan led a thousand young and strong men to form the rear army, serving as the chief general of the rear army and in charge of food, grass and supplies.

If you take these two key departments into your own hands, Liu Xiongming will not be afraid of the five major families usurping power.

These two positions are the fundamentals of Liu Xiongming, so naturally they cannot tolerate others' involvement and are not included in the competition to win the commander.

As for the other three positions, they are all named after their names. Liu Xiongming only symbolically placed a hundred old and weak soldiers. The person in charge was the centurion designated by Xiongming. He was not very competitive, but he also signed up to participate in the competition.

After the rules were announced, no one had any objections. After all, there have been competitions for the generals since ancient times, and the rules have always been like this.

However, Liu Xiongming did not compete with the chief general of the central army and the chief general of the rear army. People from the five major families had great opinions, and thousands of them were making noises.

Although Liu Xiongming announced the beginning of the competition for the former army's chief general, no one dared to come out to compete.

Because the cake had been divided in advance before the arrival of the five major families. The head general of the central army was a position that Zhong Yue had already booked. Now Liu Xiongming doesn't take it out to compete, how can Zhong Yue accept it?

The chief general of the latter army was temporarily assigned to Hu Zun because the military supplies, including armor, were sponsored by the Hu family.

The Hu family proposed to let Hu Zun be the chief general of the rear army and be responsible for the transportation and management of the baggage, but no one competed with him. Who knew that Liu Xiongming wanted to capture these materials in his hands and settled them directly, which made him a little frustrated.

After receiving the news that Cao Cao was going to recruit Liu Xiongming, the heads of several major families discussed together and decided to take advantage of this opportunity to give the outstanding disciples of the family a chance to become an official.

Although the disciples of these big families have many ways to become officials, there are too few places. For example, if you recommend an official, there are only one or two in each county.

In the public eye, even the county magistrates cannot cheat. They can only allow children from all families to gain a high reputation in the county and reach the public's expectations with their real talents and knowledge. This is quite difficult!

This time the opportunity was quite rare. Although they were entering the army, they did not need to make a sword and shoot to gain military merits. There was no great danger. None of them wanted to give up their official positions that were within their reach.
