Chapter 49 Screening

?The next morning, the military camp outside the east of Jiangling City was in full swing. In the newly level schoolyard, a group of people were practicing spear stabbing according to the slogan. This was the new army stationed under the command of the Xiyang County Duke. Now it is a routine warm-up of soldiers from various units.

Teams of Chen Jun prisoners were lined up to enter several camps in sequence, and the matter was being screened. Yuwen Wen actually did not want to miss such an opportunity to absorb troops, so even though the other party had a different quality, he had to try to select useful people.

The clerk, Di Jun, sat behind the copywriting, and the two soldiers were arranged by swords. In front of him was a prisoner of Chen army.

Looking up at the man, Tsu Dijun began to ask various questions: name, where is his origin, where is he in Chen's army, who is Shangguan's military position and how he looks, and telling the three most recent major combat experiences of the headquarters.

The prisoner answered these questions one by one. Di Qing took a volume of documents to compare the contents one by one. The above records that the Chen army prisoners were counted more than ten days ago and the contents recorded when each person was asked about it. The questions were the same as this time.

However, the person in front of him said very differently from what he said the previous time.

Shangguan's name is completely incompatible, let alone appearance. It was originally a beard with a beard now. It has been said to be a beard. Two of the last three major combat experiences have not matched each other. When Nao Dijun looked up and saw his calm appearance, he snorted in his heart and then ticked the "unmatched" column on the list.

"A lie requires more lies to cover up, so in the end it will be full of flaws." What Yuwen Wen said to him sounded in his ears again.

There are several types of people who should pay attention to when screening prisoners: During the battle, relatives and friends died under their own hands, and they were concerned about their families and wanted to escape at any time. Some generals mixed in ordinary soldiers and had unknown intentions to fish. These must be identified, either killed or rushed to work as coolies and could not be absorbed into the army to avoid causing hidden dangers.

Especially if you have blood feud with your side, you may be stabbed, so you cannot stay. There are many ways to identify so many prisoners who don’t know the details. The division of labor between Di Jun is a question and find the flaws from the other party’s answers.

A lie is a temporary but not a lifetime. When collecting prisoners on the same day, they may lie for various purposes when facing inquiries, but the lies they make up will often be forgotten afterwards and stay for a while before being asked about them. Most of them cannot justify themselves.

"You, go out and go into the fence with black flags. If you go wrong, don't blame others for beheading you."

"Shangguan, Xiao really surrenders to your army..." The man said with an anxious face. The best outcome of being a prisoner is to escape or be released, but it is difficult. Secondly, it is to be absorbed by the other party and continue to join the army. Anyway, it is the same for ordinary soldiers to work for anyone.

The unlucky thing is to be left as a slave or a coolie. In short, it is not impossible to stay in the army and then escape.

"Let's talk about it later." Di Jun replied expressionlessly. The other party was about to try to get the soldiers on his left and right and left helplessly.

He asked a few more prisoners, and some of them had consistent answers and some had many mistakes. The sirens checked according to their respective situations. After all the prisoners outside the stake were asked, he sorted out the list of other stakes handed over and took them away.

When he walked out of the camp, a cool breeze blew. When he looked around, he saw that the camp was rolling and undulating. There was a vague sound of people and horses neighing. It was very lively. This was the life of the military camp. He left the cold home.

The Anzhou General Manager, Luye Di Shiwen, was his father, a harsh father who was almost unlike his father. As the eldest son, Yu Dijun was especially stared at by his father, so he was scolded for being rude when he even spoke when eating.

If it weren't for the Xiyang County Duke Yuwen Wen used some means to pull him out of his cage-like home and become a clerk in the army, Dijun would probably still suffer at home with his two younger brothers.

Thinking about the daily meals that don’t even have much meat, and thinking about the rich food in the army today, Jade Dijun really wanted to bring both younger brothers to the army for a feast.

"Shu Di Wenshu." Along the way, soldiers greeted him from time to time and he nodded frequently. The new army of Xiyang County Duke had a very special benefit: free letter writing. As one of the few people in the army who read the classics, history and collections, he assumed heavy documentary duties, including "letter writing".

In order to encourage literate people to "write letters" on behalf of others. This benefit is free for soldiers but has a "commission" on those who write letters. Since entering the New Army's barracks in February, Mr. Dijun has earned a lot in nearly six months.

Looking at the increasingly "bulging" money bag, he had an idea: save enough money to buy a house and dozens of acres of fertile land and then take the two younger brothers to live in by themselves, the farther away from the withdrawn father, the better.

Thinking about the matter but not slowing down, Hu Dijun soon came to the central army tent.

"The clerk Di Wen is here." Yuwen Wen greeted him. He was discussing military affairs with several generals. The Chen army captain who caused a big disturbance the day before yesterday was also in the tent.

"The military commander, the list has been counted." Di Jun held a roll of paper in both hands. When Yuwen Wen took it and opened it, he added: "After this inquiry and inspection, a total of 130 people passed the exam."

"Very good. Master Xu Zhuang counts those who have no skills but perform well, and are honest and dare not be lazy and work hard." Yuwen Wen pointed to a roll of paper on the case, "Master Xu Zhuang has spent a lot of effort to observe these thousand people in the past ten days."

"Through investigation and inquiries, the prisoners are probably able to use it. Now we will be able to further identify it."

He weighed the paper he was looking at and continued, "Di Wenshu counted those who have some skills but didn't lie at all. Come to the team leader. You can take these two lists to see if the person you said you wanted to choose is on this list."

"Affect the order."

Lai Hu'er took the list and looked carefully. The more he looked, the more surprised he felt because the names of the people he originally planned to choose were all on these two rolls of paper.

Lai Hu'er, who had previously demonstrated his ability to attract the attention of the generals in the military, had another preparation. He secretly wrote down his name among the captured comrades who had the intention to serve and have good abilities, so that if he could be recruited, he would suggest to the Shangguan as another credit.

‘I don’t know what method was used to select?’ Lai Huer was a little curious. He answered with a question in his heart: “Report to the commander, it’s all above.”

The two-volume list combined a total of 270 people. Yuwen Wen directly made the decision to organize these "new recruits" into a building, with 90 people in each team. The team was headed by veterans as the specific candidates, and the supervision matters were arranged by Chen Wudi, and Yang Ji was responsible for the supervision.

Most of these people in Chen Jun were sword soldiers and a small number of archers. According to the plan previously agreed by Yuwen Wenhe, these people must practice for at least one month to be familiar with the queue and military discipline. After ordering, most of them merged with the long sword soldiers and joined the archers in a small number.

"There has been no war in recent months, Yang Zhuang is mainly engaged in training and his diet is the same as other soldiers."

The Long Sword Team absorbed more than 300 prisoners through this, so Yuwen Wen set it as a temporary sword card and a mixed use of long swords with both hands. Yang Ji was appointed as the master of the banner.

"Let'er, I will appoint you as one of the leaders of the three recruits. A month later, your team will be merged into the Long Dagger Soldier to temporarily use the sword card to fight. Do you have any questions?"

"I'm here to obey the order!" Lai Hu'er bowed and bowed. He had confidence in his abilities, so he also had confidence at least to be promoted. But he never expected that this young leader Yu Wen Wen would directly appoint himself as the team leader.

"I will strictly govern the army no matter who is the best of his merits, and I will punish you without mercy. In order to practice, I will be punished for three days and one day. The new recruits must abide by it!" Yuwen Wen reminded everyone present.

"Also, you are not allowed to beat, scold, abuse or enslave soldiers for no reason, otherwise I will be polite to the sword in my hand!"

When Lai Hu'er heard the saying that he had been on a day off for three days. He had seen what it was to fish in Chen Jun and two days of drying the net. The training intensity of the Zhou army in Huainan was not so high, because according to what he saw and heard, it would sooner or later start to incite mutiny.

His parents died when he was young. His aunt was raised by his aunt, and his uncle had been harmed by others during the Hou Jing Rebellion. Whenever his aunt thought about this, she burst into tears and kept her enemies in mind. When she grew up, she led several tribe members to rush into the compound while the other party was posing for a banquet and killed him on the spot and left, no one dared to stop him.

In order to avoid the wanted official arrest, Lai Hu'er went to wander around, he also witnessed many things in the daily life of the army. After Zhou defeated Chen and occupied Lai Hu'er's hometown, no one pursued him because of the change of the government. He returned to his hometown after Lai Hu'er's accident of committing revenge.

Because he had long been determined to make achievements, he was quite concerned about military affairs. Although he had no experience in leading troops, based on his experience in the Chen army for half a year, such high-intensity training would lead to a significant increase in soldiers' appetite. However, where can the troops in various places be able to feed hungry soldiers, which is common for deducting military pay and food? Sooner or later, something will happen.

But why can this army maintain morale under high-intensity training?

"Come to the team leader, the training intensity is high, but the food is full, and there is no shortage of salt and meat, so just rest assured." Shi Wansui added, he was also skeptical about the training intensity of "three days to take one day off" which shows the content of the three meals a day.

"Jiangling is adjacent to rivers and lakes and aquatic products are numerous. No matter what else, just say that there is no need to worry about fish in the big lake in the northeast of the city, so there is no need to worry about food." Chen Wudi is full of confidence in the supply of materials. Zhang Yu and dozens of Xiangyang navy veterans fish in the lake every day, and after the past ten days, they have been eating fish.

When I heard this, I suddenly realized that many people joined the army just to eat. Since it is not a big deal to be full, no matter how hard it is to endure it. Besides, how strong the daily exercise can be, it is nothing more than just killing time with a knife and a gun. Chen Jun's exercise is similar to that of Chen Jun. I think no matter how tired he is, he will not be much tired.

"The practice starts from the next day, and all work and rest hours will be carried out as usual. Team leader Yang... Master Yang Zhuang will lead new recruits to observe the veterans' training and preach military discipline tomorrow."
