Shuhan

The Military Conference, a grand event that brings together heroes from all over the world and showcases military talents, has entered its fourth day with great fanfare.

The first three days of rehearsal were filled with tension and excitement every day, as if the whole world was immersed in the atmosphere of thundering war drums and iron horses and golden swords.

On the first day, the conference unfolded slowly like a magnificent painting, with armies from different places appearing one after another.

They wore different kinds of armor, carried weapons with local characteristics, and demonstrated their own unique tactics and formations.

From the swift cavalry in the north to the agile navy in Jiangdong, each team demonstrates the advantages of its region.

The next day, the focus turned to the competition between the two arms.

The tenacity of the infantry, the swiftness of the cavalry, the accuracy of the archers, and the ingenuity of the logistics, each type of army took turns to fight.

They not only demonstrated their roles and coordination on the battlefield, but also fully demonstrated the strategies of "speed is the essence of war" and "winning by surprise" in the art of war.

Sparks of wisdom collide in every tactical layout.

As the morning light of the third day illuminated the training ground, a large-scale exercise simulating the Northern Expedition to Wei and the attack on Shouchun was about to begin.

This is not only a comprehensive test of what we have learned and understood in the previous two days, but also an in-depth rehearsal for future actual combat.

Military dispatch and logistical supply became the top priority of this exercise.

With the order, the drill officially began.

On the parade ground, flags fluttered and trumpets sounded.

The soldiers acted quickly according to the predetermined plan. Some were responsible for building temporary camps, while others went out as scouts to investigate the situation within a radius of fifty miles.

In the simulated Northern Expedition, the Han Imperial Army, as the main attacking party, faced many challenges.

They must quickly deploy troops to ensure that they are deployed to the best position in the shortest possible time.

At the same time, logistical supply is also a key link.

The sufficiency and timely delivery of food, fodder and weapons are directly related to the outcome of the war.

Fortunately, the generals leading the army, such as Zhang Bao, A Huinan, and Yu Jin, were all experienced generals, so doing these things was a piece of cake for them.

During the drill, the generals of the Han Imperial Guards demonstrated outstanding command skills.

They quickly analyzed the terrain and enemy situation and worked out a reasonable march route and combat plan.

At the same time, the logistics department also worked closely to ensure the supply of materials to the soldiers on the front line.

In the simulated siege, the siege equipment of the Han Imperial Army slowly advanced, forming a fierce confrontation with the rain of arrows and rolling stones from the defenders.

However, with powerful offensive and precise deployment, the Han imperial guards gradually gained the upper hand.

Finally, after several hours of intense drills, the Han Imperial Guards successfully captured the simulated Shouchun City.

Of course, the drill is just a drill. When the actual siege begins, the situation may be different.

After all, Sima Yi is now frantically reinforcing the Shouchun defense line.

However, at the very least, we will have a deeper understanding of the dispatch of food and logistics, and the terrain of Shouchun city.

Fourth day.

It is a personal martial arts selection.

Those with outstanding abilities can enter the Military Academy.

Everyone present knew exactly what the Military Academy was.

Once you enter the Military Academy, you will be a disciple of the emperor and your future will be bright.

Therefore, every soldier who came to participate in the election was eager to try, vowing to get the personal attention of the Emperor of Han Dynasty so that they could change their destiny and soar to the sky!
The military competition is not just a simple military skills competition, but also a stage that countless passionate men dream of. It is an opportunity for them to show themselves and make the leap to success.

There are many martial arts selection events in the military lecture, including horse archery, long battlements, carbine shooting, foot archery, lifting the gate, carrying the tripod, lifting heavy things... a total of nine events.

Each event tests the participants' physical strength, skills and will.

The rules are clear: only after passing at least three items can one enter the next round of selection.

Wang Wu is just an ordinary soldier, but he possesses an extraordinary physique.

He was over eight feet tall, with broad shoulders and a strong waist. Standing among the crowd, he was like a small mountain, intimidating.

Despite his ordinary background, there is an extraordinary fire burning in his heart. He is eager to prove himself in this martial arts competition and perhaps change his destiny.

"Wang Wu, start skipping the test!"

With a loud horn, Wang Wu stepped into the challenge area of ​​Qiaoguan.

The heavy bolt, like a sleeping dragon, lay there quietly, waiting to be awakened by a brave man.

Wang Wu took a deep breath, stared at the target, and all the muscles in his body seemed to be awakened by an invisible force and stretched to the extreme.

He suddenly squatted down, pushed his legs hard, gathered all the weight and strength of his body in his hands, and easily lifted the door bolt weighing hundreds of pounds high up.

Seeing this, the comrades around him burst into cheers. Their voices surged like a tide, full of excitement and admiration.

"Well done, Wang Wu! What a strong warrior!" a comrade shouted loudly, his voice full of admiration.

Others also echoed and cheers came one after another.

"That's amazing! Wang Wu, your move is even more powerful than that of a tiger!"

However, the light of glory did not last long. Wang Wu's next target was the bronze tripod as tall as a person - Kangding.

This is not only a symbol of strength, but also a nightmare in the hearts of countless warriors.

Wang Wu walked to the bronze tripod, took a deep breath, grasped the tripod legs with both hands, tensed all his muscles, and tried to lift this huge object.

But the bronze tripod seemed to have taken root, not moving at all. Wang Wu's face flashed with determination, and he tried again, his feet firmly planted on the ground, and all the strength in his body seemed to be drawn to his hands, but the bronze tripod was still as steady as a mountain.

Sweat slid down his forehead and dripped onto the ground, making a "pa pa" sound, each sound seemed to be telling the helplessness of failure.

In the end, Wang Wu shook his head helplessly and slowly put down his hands. There was a hint of unwillingness in his eyes, but he also understood that he had done his best.

Next, it was another contestant, Kang Mazi.

He was thin but known for his agility and was good at riding and shooting.

Faced with the challenge of Qiao Guan, he obviously did not have the strength like Wang Wu. His several attempts all ended in failure and the frustration on his face was hard to conceal.

The encouragement from his comrades came one after another, but the frustration in his heart surged like a tide, and in the end he had no choice but to exit the stage in disgrace.

Then, Zhu San came on stage.

He was an experienced veteran who was good at infantry combat and was particularly proficient in infantry archery.

However, when faced with the challenge of carrying the tripod, he seemed overwhelmed.

Although he tried his best, and even his face turned red from using too much force, the bronze tripod seemed to be mocking his incompetence and refused to leave the ground even an inch.

In the end, Zhang San could only shake his head and smile bitterly, admitting his limitations.

In the end, he had to go to the rifle archery that he was good at, and then see if there were other items he could pass. He had to pass all three levels before he could enter the next stage.

As time went by, challengers came on stage one by one and were defeated one by one.

There were few successes and many failures. The cruelty of the military selection was fully demonstrated at this moment. It was not easy to enter the military academy!

Wealth and glory, the path to success, is not easy to achieve.

Inside the palace, the flickering candlelight illuminated Liu Chan's calm face.

He sat upright on a high seat, wearing a dragon robe, with an aura of majesty revealed between his brows.

In the main hall, Fei Yi and Zhang Bao stood respectfully below, preparing to report the matter of the military lecture and selection to Liu Chan.

Fei Yi held a scroll of documents in his hand and walked steadily to Liu Chan. After bowing, he slowly unfolded the document and began to report:
"Your Majesty, the three-day martial arts selection has been completed. After rigorous testing, a total of 321 warriors have passed three or more levels, demonstrating their outstanding strength and perseverance.

Among them, 137 people passed the fourth level, 58 people passed the fifth level, 21 people passed the sixth level, 6 people passed the seventh level, and only two people passed the eighth level.

There are nine events in this martial arts competition.

In other words, among the surrendered soldiers of Wu State, not a single person passed all nine items.

of course
In fact, each project is very strict. If one can pass all nine projects successfully, then this person must be a fierce general like Lu Bu.

But how could there be so many Lu Bu in the world?
Upon hearing this, Liu Chan nodded slightly, with a gleam of satisfaction in his eyes.

Liu Chan was quite satisfied with this result.

The military lectures and selections were not only to select people with outstanding martial arts skills, but also a way to further control the old territory of the Wu State and win the hearts of the Jiangdong nobles and powerful families.

After all, the places in the Military Academy are actually cake, and how can they not be convinced when they get a piece of the cake?

"The purpose of the military lectures and selections is to select talents and add pillars to our Han Dynasty.

However, in addition to the selection, the background check should not be neglected either, and it is imperative to ensure that the selected people are loyal and reliable, and not allow spies or people with bad intentions to infiltrate. "

Liu Chan's voice was not loud, but every word he spoke was powerful and revealed his unquestionable majesty.

The background check must be clear.

As everyone knows, entering the Military Academy means entering the road to fame, but if a few spies from the Wei State's Academy emerge among them and allow these people to hold high positions, the Han Dynasty will really be finished.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Bao immediately stepped forward and added solemnly, "Your Majesty, during the military selection process, we did capture a number of spies from the School Affairs Office. What's even more shocking is that this matter also implicated a number of people from Jiangdong.

These people are hiding very deeply. If it weren't for this military selection, I'm afraid it would be difficult to detect them. Your Majesty, please tell me how to deal with these people."

This military parade was held with great fanfare, and hundreds of thousands of troops were gathered outside Jianye.

There was no way Sima Yi was unaware of such a big commotion.

And if these hundreds of thousands of people could be caused to riot, the Han Kingdom would not be able to march north.

He will naturally come in and add sand.

Liu Chan heard this, his eyes stern, and a hint of coldness appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Humph, this matter cannot be taken lightly. Pass the order down, choose a date in three days, give these people a chance, if they can report the inside story truthfully within three days, maybe they can be spared.

But if you insist on not repenting and attempt to conceal the truth, you will be severely punished, your property will be confiscated and your entire family will be exterminated. No mercy will be shown to you!"

After saying this, he waved his hand gently, signaling Zhang Bao to carry out the order.

Of course, we must not be lenient towards traitors.

But we can't kill them all.

You should make more friends and fewer enemies.

If he had stopped at the brink of disaster and turned back from his wrong path, Liu Chan would not have killed him.

Just a little punishment.

of course
The prerequisite is that you can make a contribution, and this contribution is not only in terms of intelligence, but can also be in terms of money, food, or even other aspects.

As long as it is beneficial to the Northern Expedition and to stabilizing the old territory of the Wu Kingdom, it will be considered a contribution.

if there is not
Sorry about that.

When we launch the Northern Expedition against the Wei Kingdom, your family will shed more blood.

Zhang Bao was startled, knowing that what Liu Chan said was true, and nodded in agreement. He was secretly glad that no one he knew was involved in such a conspiracy.

He turned around and tried to retreat, but Liu Chan stopped him and said, "By the way, who are those two people who passed the eight levels?"

Upon hearing this, Fei Yi quickly replied, "Your Majesty, these two people are Zhu Yi, the son of Zhu Huan, and Lü Ju, the son of Lü Fan."

Zhu Yi and Lu Ju were both descendants of military men.

In the original history, he was considered a great general of Sun Wu.

Lü Ju was the second son of Lü Fan, a famous general in the early Eastern Wu period.

At first, he was appointed as a palace attendant because of his father's great contributions to the Eastern Wu. Later, when Lu Fan fell ill, he was promoted to deputy military captain to help command military affairs.

In the seventh year of Huangwu (228 AD), after Lü Fan died of illness, Lü Ju was promoted to General of the An Army and began to lead troops in battle independently.

From then on, he began to take charge of the Eastern Wu, and gradually became a major general in the late Eastern Wu.

His record is also outstanding.

"He fought against mountain bandits several times, and defeated all the bandits in deep and dangerous terrain." Later, he led his troops to conquer Wuxi and attacked Fancheng with Zhu Yi. He was promoted to Lieutenant General for his meritorious service in several battles, and was "appointed as the Right Commander of Ma Xian, and later transferred to the position of Captain of Yue Cavalry."

He then took part in the Battle of Dongxing and was promoted to General of Cavalry for his merits in the campaign.

In the second year of Wufeng (255 AD), he was granted temporary authority and followed Sun Jun to attack Shouchun, where he defeated Wei general Cao Zhen at Gaoting.

Finally, after Sun Jun died of illness, his younger brother Sun Chen led his troops to take his place.

Lu Ju was furious and immediately led his troops back to prepare to depose Sun Chen.

As a result, Sun Chen got the news in advance, and held the court hostage to issue an edict, ordering Wen Qin, Liu Zan, Tang Zi and other generals to lead their troops to attack Lu Ju.

At this time, Lu Ju's subordinates all advised him to rebel against Wu and join Wei. Lu Ju said, "I am ashamed to be a traitor," and then committed suicide. After Lu Ju's death, Sun Chen exterminated the three clans of the Lu family.

Considered a hero.

As for Zhu Yi, he was also a young hero and his experience was similar to that of Lu Ju.

Poor in literature and rich in martial arts.

In order to pass the eight levels of the martial arts selection, one must be strong in all aspects.

At this time, the poor or ordinary people could not keep up.

Only these generals can cultivate such talents.

Liu Chan said immediately: "Since you have passed the eight tests, you will be directly selected to attend the Military Academy. As for the remaining hundreds of people, in the next three days, they will be screened again through the three aspects of military strategy, asking for advice, and leading troops in actual combat. Those who are capable will enter the Military Academy, and those who are not will be sent to the Military Academy."

Those who can pass the three levels are all brave warriors.

These people cannot be let go easily. Putting them in a military and righteous army can also improve the combat effectiveness of the army.

Fei Yi immediately said, "I understand."

It's a military election, and you, Sima Yi, are here to interfere?
Do you think your Shouchun defense line is as solid as Mount Tai?
Liu Chan asked Huo Yi: "Have you made any breakthrough in Shouchun?" (End of this chapter)
