Chapter 22 Mulan

Yang Xiong and Liu Bang fought fiercely in Quhuixi. The 30,000 Qin troops fought against the anti-Qin coalition forces with a total of 60,000. Yang Xiong was lured into the encirclement by Liu Bang, and the situation was in danger.

Liu Bang did not know that Li Yuan was not in Yang Xiong's army. According to the situation found by Liu's scouts, Li Yuan should have been in the army after meeting with Yang Xiong, but he did not expect that Li Yuan would have made a temporary decision and led his troops to guard the White Horse Ferry. Liu Bang's soldiers attacked like a tide, regardless of life and death, which surprised the Qin army. For a long time, Liu Bang's troops could not be considered very strong in combat will. Among the anti-Qin army, the Chu army that could really fight against the Qin army was Xiang Yu's Chu army.

Not to mention the war between Yang and Liu, at Baimadu, Li Yuan led the soldiers of the headquarters to prepare for the army without stopping as soon as he arrived.

There are currently two logistics supply lines for Yang Xiong's Qin army. Yao Jiajin is the main one, and there is also a backup line, Baima Du. Out of concerns about Yang Xiong's defeat, Li Yuan quickly ordered the requisition of ships and supplies near Baima to prepare for emergencies. At the same time, the quota of 2,000 troops led by the commander. Since Yang Xiong has promised that in order to be more powerful, Li Yuan set up a temporary recruitment agency in Baima and summoned soldiers to enlist.

Recruiting soldiers, Wu Qi, the famous general in the Spring and Autumn Period, simply recruited good materials and formed the first special elite unit of the nation, Wu Zu, through recruitment rather than traditional recruitment. The standards for Wu Zu were quite strict. The basic conditions were: wearing three sets of armor, able to pull a bow of twelve stones, carrying a utensil that could hold fifty arrows, carrying a spear on his shoulder, wearing a helmet, hanging a sharp sword on his waist, and walking for three days for a hundred miles in half a day.

Li Yuan's main purpose is to make up for the shortage of troops in case of a fierce battle that may come soon. Therefore, the standards for recruiting troops will not be as strict as Wu Qi. Moreover, although the area of ​​Sanchuan County has been conquered by Qin for many years, it was originally affiliated with South Korea. Li Yuan was not sure how much recognition the people here recognized the Qin army.

White Horse Ferry.

It is only thirty miles away from Xingyang City. Due to the developed transportation and the gathering of merchants, the entertainment industry of restaurants and artists brought is also relatively developed.

The second day after Li Yuan needed to recruit soldiers, a person who was unexpected and reasonable in Li Yuan also came to Baima, and the way she chose to approach Li Yuan was so unexpected.

Zhou Xing, who was responsible for recruiting new recruits, was very depressed these two days. Wang Shang, Zhou Xing and Gan Houbo were all military marquis. This time Li Yuan ordered the recruitment of soldiers, and they were also very determined to be better than the other side. Wang Shang's deeds of killing Fan Kuai were promoted. He was handsome and eloquent. The number of people registered for Wang Shang's troops was the most. Gan Houbo's honest and honest look was enough to make people feel that there would be no loss under Gan Junhou. There were not many new recruits who signed up for him. Only Zhou Xing had an ordinary appearance and nowhere to be promoted. He was not very talkative, so it would be difficult for this soldier to be recruited.

"Gu Yun, a native of Xingyang, is eighteen years old, and is good at fencing." Just when Zhou Xing was depressed, a young man with a low figure and a white face came to the registration office of Zhou's ministry.

"You are good at fencing, but you dare to try it on the spot." Zhou Xing became interested. Compared with Wang Shang and Gan Houbo, his recruitment method was not attractive. This time, when he heard the new boy was good at fencing, Zhou Xing's eyes lit up. Isn't fencing competition the most exciting trick to make people watch?

The young man raised his beautiful eyebrows slightly, and he smiled and said, "What's wrong? But, the sword has no eyes. How about we use bamboo as our sword, how about it?"

Zhou Xing was only thinking about how to attract people and how to care about anything else, so he replied: "It's so good, come here and take the bamboo sword."

Zhou Xing's swordsmanship is considered to be a normal rule among the Qin army, slightly worse than Wang Shang, and a little stronger than Gan Houbo. Since becoming a military marquis, Zhou Xing has been very concerned about his command ability and personal bravery. After all, he finally had the opportunity to come out from the bottom. If he was suppressed because he did not work hard, he would never have the chance to turn things around.

If you want to stand out, it is very important to follow the right person. If you follow a hereditary second-generation martial arts generation and third-generation martial arts generation, then don’t think about getting promoted or getting rich. Why, Hakka will have a lot of things to pass on, and you can erase all your efforts with just one sentence. Now, Li Yuan is also a grassroots generation. Zhou Xing has not seen Li Yuan have any involvement with any force. The people promoted by Li Yuan also pay more attention to their abilities and basically do not look at their qualifications. This touched Zhou Xing very much. This is also the reason why he wants to compete with Wang Shang and Gan Houbo.

Everyone makes a living by their own abilities, this is the true nature of a man.

At the beginning of a bamboo sword competition, Zhou Xing was quite cautious. He relied on his identity and did not rashly attack. However, Gu Yun rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward with the sword without hesitation. Looking at his figure and steps very skillful. He thought that he had been immersed in swordsmanship for many years. Both sides were fighting together. What surprised Zhou Xing more and more was that Gu Yun's swordsmanship was amazing. Not only were there many moves, dazzling, but also exquisite moves. Some sword moves were graceful, which made people feel as if they were moved.

In a moment, the two had fought for several rounds. The young man Gu Yun was able to fight Zhou Xing in a difficult situation. Looking at his momentum on the court, he was still in a vague offensive, which made the onlookers suddenly excited. Even Wang Shang and Gan Houbo ran over to watch the battle when they heard the wind.

"Old Zhou, work harder, don't lose your brother's face!" Wang Shang blushed and shouted vigorously to encourage Zhou Xing.

"This young man is good, he is both handsome and capable. I wonder which girl has such a blessing." Among the crowd watching the game, the gossiped aunt had already started to take stock of the resources in her hands.

Zhou Xing was indescribable at this time. The bamboo sword was different from the actual bronze sword. The bamboo was light and had little demands on the power of the fencing man. In addition, the competition was announced to the point, so the tactic of fighting for life was not advisable.

At this point, Zhou Xing also understood that he fell into Gu Yun's trap at the beginning. He just wanted to use the bamboo sword to hit him. It was simply to curb Zhou Xing's strength in case he fought desperately. However, Gu Yun's strengths were fully utilized by the lightness of the bamboo sword.

"Cunning boy!" Zhou Xing complained secretly, but he couldn't think of a way to deal with it for a while. He could only find an opportunity to use his strength to hit the bamboo sword, hoping to rely on the shock force of his wrist to make Gu Yun feel afraid.

The crowd gathered more and more. Accompanied by Luo Jia, the personal cavalry general, Li Yuan also came to observe the recruitment situation. Seeing Zhou Xing fighting with others, he couldn't help but stop and watch.

"Guowei, this guy who competes with Zhou Junhou is not bad. My personal soldiers are still short of manpower. Can you add it first?" Luo Jia stared at Gu Yun and clapped his hands enviously, unable to control his surprise.

"Boy, well, this little boy is really good, but it's not appropriate to let the personal soldiers station, so let Lao Zhou take it with him first!" Li Yuan glanced at Gu Yun and pondered for a while and said.

"But!" Luo Jia was still waiting to hold on and tried to make Li Yuan change his mind.

"The military order is like a mountain, and it cannot be changed. After the Zhou Junhou competes, he will come to see me." After Li Yuan said that, he turned around and left.

Others can't see it in detail. For Li Yuan, who has seen countless vacuums, perspectives, disguises and even pictures of women on the Internet, Gu Yun was a man or a woman at first sight.
