"Martial Arts Competition, the fourth game, show off martial arts..."

"First of all, I would like to congratulate all the martial artists. After the first three selections, you have already stepped on the promotion level."

"So what is the promotion step on stage?"

"You can understand it as the qualification of a military general."

"As for the specific reasons, let me tell you in detail. After listening, you will understand."

"This time, the scale of the Tang Dynasty's Wuji is far greater than before. All the ten lands of the Tang Dynasty have martial artists coming. The total number of people who refer to it is as high as more than 5,000..."

"After the first round of bows and arrows, three thousand people who are good at shooting were shortlisted, while the remaining two thousand were eliminated because they could not even pull the softest thin bow."

"According to the martial law of the Tang Dynasty, generals must be skilled in bowing and horses. If the bow does not work, how can they talk about anything else? Therefore, those who are not good at shooting will inevitably lose the election."

This was a high platform, with the loud shouts of officials from the Ministry of War. There were hundreds of contestants standing below the stage, listening to his explanation with breathing.

Many people, like Guo Ziyi, participated in the martial arts exam for the first time in their life, so after hearing the explanation from the officials on stage, they suddenly realized why they had to take the archery exam.

But Guo Ziyi questioned a little and whispered to Li Guangbi, saying, "Brother Li, do you think this rule is reasonable? If someone is not good at shooting bows, but is good at other aspects, but he ends up being brushed in the first level. Wouldn't this be buried? "

Li Guangbi was slightly stunned and said, "Bow shooting is the foundation of a martial artist. If you want to become a general, you must be good at bow shooting. This is the iron rule of the martial arts of the Tang Dynasty. It has been like this since the beginning of the country."

Guo Ziyi sighed and shook her head and said, "But I still think this will bury talents."

Li Guangbi spread his hands gently and said, "It is difficult to change the iron rules of Wulu. As for why Wulu has this rule, I heard from my father that it is said that it is because at the beginning of the founding of the country, our biggest opponent was the Turks. The people on the grassland were good at riding and shooting, and the Tang Dynasty was suppressed very badly. After we suffered a few great losses, we set the rules that military generals must shoot well..."

Guo Ziyi nodded thoughtfully and pondered: "I probably understand after hearing what you said. But I still think that this rule will bury talents."

He said as he looked at Li Guangbi and said with a deep meaning: "For example, in this martial arts competition, the two thousand people who were beaten in the first level. Although they are not good at bow shooting, who can guarantee that they are all mediocre people? Maybe there are people who are good at fighting in it."

Li Guangbi's heart moved, and he vaguely understood something, and quickly lowered his voice and said, "Boss, do you mean, let's find an opportunity to try the quality of those people? If there are really people buried, we will quietly take over?"

Guo Ziyi nodded slightly and lowered her voice: "The reason I had this idea was because I suddenly thought of people's self-confidence. Brother Li, do you think about it? Will ordinary people come to participate in martial arts? If they are really ordinary people, I'm afraid they don't even have the courage to register."

Li Guangbi's eyes gradually shine, and he couldn't help but murmur: "The Tang Dynasty martial arts is a competition to select generals. The participants are all for their military positions. In other words, everyone thinks they have some skills, otherwise he will not have the confidence to participate..."

Guo Ziyi nodded again and said, "So, this is our opportunity to pick up bargains. Especially when these people have just been defeated, they must be very depressed. At this time, as long as they sincerely invite each other, they will definitely be able to invite a lot of talents."

Li Guangbi's face was excited and his breathing became heavy, and he said, "The most important thing is that there must be someone who is short of money here. Maybe he can't even afford to eat, and he needs to sleep on the streets after he loses the election."

Guo Ziyi pointed to Shandong with great meaning and whispered: "So we can tell them that our Lanling County is recruiting soldiers. Since these people dare to come to participate in the martial arts department, they can almost be sure that everyone has some skills. Even if they do not have the ability to become generals, everyone has the foundation to become elite soldiers..."

When the two brothers met and looked at each other, they saw the longing in each other's eyes.

In the Tang Dynasty martial arts competition, there are people who have lost their election in every level. If all of these people are recruited, they will become a peerless elite soldier with a little training.

...

At this time, the official was still explaining on the high platform.

"The second game of Wuke, the stone lock competition, was tested by strength, and there were two thousand people who lost the election. After this item, there were only a thousand people left."

"The third game is the riding competition you just participated in. A total of 1,000 people participated, and only two hundred were shortlisted, and these two hundred people were you."

"Three consecutive games, including bow shooting, stone locks, riding skills, only 200 left for 5,000 people, and the ones who can pass the level must be the warriors. So I will congratulate you just now, because you are already qualified to hold a military position."

When the official said this, he took out a booklet from his arms and chanted loudly: "Tang Dynasty martial arts and martial arts selection, anyone who can pass three levels in a row can join the army even if he is at the bottom of his grades, and he will serve as a mate commander."

Couple leader!

The atmosphere below the platform became obviously warmer.

According to the Tang Dynasty military system, the gang is the most basic unit, with a gang of 50 people and a gang leader is established.

Although the gang is the most basic unit, the gang leader has left the ranks of soldiers and can manage 50 soldiers, and has already entered the threshold of military officers.

The official continued to recite: "The team leader is above the team, and there are three teams in one team, with a number of 150 people. One team is set up to enjoy the salary of a military officer."

The official said a little, and smiled Cen Cen looked at the audience, saying, "This position is already a general. If you have passed three levels of martial arts, and you are in the middle of your grade, you can take on it, without any dispute."

A mid-range scorer?

Two hundred martial artists present, sixty or seventy of them looked surprised.

This martial arts selection, there were 200 people left after the third level, with about 70 people at the bottom, and there were also 70 people in the middle.

These seventy people can be directly in charge of the team and can receive their military officers' salaries from then on.

The treatment of the middle reaches is already so generous, and people who have promoted their status from Guizhou to officials. So what about the people with the highest grades? The treatment is definitely even more surprising.

Someone present could not help but speak out and asked inquiries, and said eagerly: "I want to ask, what military positions can those with high grades hold?"

But the official laughed and said, "Are you sure you want to ask? Or are you sure you want to stop now?"

The man in the audience was obviously stunned and confused, "What does it mean?"

The official on the stage smiled again and said in a kind tone: "It seems that you are an ordinary person. You didn't know the benefits of martial arts before, but don't worry, I will tell you now..."

"First of all, what military positions do you ask the people who are upstream in their grades can hold."

"According to the martial law of the Tang Dynasty, those who have passed three passes in a row and have achieved the highest grades, if they stop, they can join the army and become officials. When they start, they will become lieutenants."

Captain?

The man in the audience became more and more anxious and said hurriedly: "What a great official is the lieutenant?"

This time, there was no need for the officials on the stage to explain, and a kind smile had already sounded around him. Someone said to him in a friendly tone: "This brother is so anxious at the stage. It seems that your grades must be upstream. Congratulations, at least he is a lieutenant."

Gu Dan

"The so-called lieutenant is a military position that is higher than the lieutenant. But don't think it's no big deal to cross the first level. In fact, the lieutenant is far from being able to compete with the lieutenant. According to our Tang military system, there are five teams under the first battalion, one lieutenant is established, and all forces are in charge of."

There were five teams in the first battalion and three teams in the first team. However, the man was obviously not good at calculating and could not figure it out after calculating with his fingers for a long time.

Guo Ziyi couldn't help but speak out and said with a smile: "Congratulations, you can have 750 soldiers. And the lieutenant is a sequence of generals and is already a real military officer. Even in the Ministry of War of the Tang Dynasty, you will have detailed records. Not only can you receive your salary, but your family can also benefit from it. For example, offsetting corvee labor, exempting taxes, especially during festivals, the local government will also come to your house to give you a wish."

The man was surprised and happy, and grinned and said, "I'm here, is it so good to be an official?"

Guo Ziyi's heart moved, her face became even more smiling, and she asked with the flow: "I think your accent seems to be Shandong..."

The man nodded and smiled silly, saying, "I'm from Jeju Prefecture."

Guo Ziyi stretched out his hand, patted him on the shoulder kindly, and said, "What a coincidence, I am from Langya County. We are not far away, at most, only about one hundred miles."

He showed affection, how could Li Guangbi not understand the boss's thoughts? He hurriedly came over to the man and said, "Good brother, I will remind you, don't look at the good treatment of the lieutenant, but you must not stop. You must continue to move forward and strive to get a ranking in the martial arts department."

As he said that, he squeezed his eyes, handed over a look, and lowered his voice: "Although the lieutenant is good, there are better ones behind him. Do you understand? You must continue to break through."

Although the man was honest and honest, he was not stupid. He nodded suddenly and grinned, "I understand, keep breaking."

When the official on the high platform saw this scene, he nodded with a smile and praised: "I feel extremely pleased that you can make this decision. In fact, even if you don't make this decision, I will advise you to continue to move forward. There is no reason, and the treatment will be more generous later."

The man quickly looked up and asked anxiously: "What is the treatment behind?"

"Just about to explain to everyone." The official smiled again, raised the booklet again, and then began to recite it loudly again.

"According to the Tang Dynasty's Wulu, Wuji has set up a total of five levels. After the first three levels are shortlisted, everyone will take the stage to compete in martial arts. This is the fourth level, and the screening is stricter. The score division is divided into two levels, and the winners only choose one out of ten."

Choose one of ten?

Many people in the audience changed their expressions.

There are still 200 contestants left in total, but the screening rule for the fourth level is to choose one out of ten, which means that only 20 people will be shortlisted in the end.

As for the 180 people who were not selected, they may be at the level of a captain in the army.

Although the treatment of the lieutenant is already very good, people always hope to go to the next level.

Suddenly the man spoke again and asked loudly: "What officials can these 20 people in the fourth level be?"

After he asked this, the officials on the stage lit up their eyes and said in surprise: "If you dare to ask, is it because you are full of confidence?"

The man grinned and smiled silly, saying, "I have been very strong since I was a child. Later, my master took me to the mountain to learn skills. The master often told me that I am a very good at fighting."

The officials on the stage became more and more surprised, and their tone became more friendly. They hurriedly said, "It's very good, very good. Since you are so confident, I should congratulate you in advance. If you can really be ranked in the top 20 in the fourth level, then you can be a Guoyi Commander at the start."

Guoyi Captain?

The man grabbed his forehead.

Li Guangbi next to him looked at him and immediately knew that he must not understand. He smiled and told him: "The so-called Guoyi Commander is an adjutant of Zhechong Mansion. Although the Tang Dynasty is no longer in the military system of the government, the military position of Guoyi Commander still exists. This is a real general and an official position at the level of a general."

Guo Ziyi patted the man on the shoulder again and encouraged him: "My fellow villagers work harder, at least they will be shortlisted in the top 20."

The man grabbed his forehead honestly and said, "Absolutely, sure."

At this time, for some reason, the officials on the stage suddenly looked at Guo Ziyi with great meaning and said slowly: "The 20 people who were shortlisted in the fourth level can be the commander of Guoyi. But if you want to go further, you have to participate in the final of the Wukobe exam."

finals!

The final fifth level.

Guo Ziyi slowly looked up and looked at the official. Suddenly he laughed and asked in a rash manner: "If you win the final, can you get a general?"

The official on the stage said with a deep expression and smiled: "Is County Magistrate Guo so confident? Do you know how many people will be left in the final?"

Without waiting for Guo Ziyi to speak, the official directly gave the answer and said: "Three people, only three people are left in total. One is the top martial arts scholar and the other is the second martial arts scholar. As for the last one, it is the Wu Tanhua that many people want to be."

Guo Ziyi was slightly confused and couldn't help but curiously said, "Why do many people want to be Wu Tanhua?"

As a result, before the official spoke, Li Guangbi was already chuckling and said with a wink: "Tanhualang, the son-in-law below the list, whether it is a literary or martial arts degree, the ranking of Tanhua must be handsome. Brother, you should understand, all the girls love to be pretty. So every time the civil and military degree is released, Tanhua will always be caught back and become a groom. Isn't it so good? He is both an official and sleeps in the bridal chamber."

Guo Ziyi was very surprised and exclaimed: "So that's the case. No wonder many people want to be Tanhua. According to what you said, wouldn't it be more popular with the top scorer in martial arts?"
