The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 266 The Last Applicant

Lu Xiufu reported dully: "Your Majesty. As of yesterday, there were only five people who signed up. In the bow and horse test, one person failed to meet the basic requirements. The other four passed. After the registration ends tomorrow, these four people who passed the test plus Tomorrow, among the applicants, those who pass the bow and horse test will be interviewed by the minister and others for military strategy."

Although I have thought of the difficulty of recruiting generals in advance.But I didn't expect that only five people signed up.And these five people don't seem to be favored by Lu Xiufu either.It seems that one will not be hard to find.But it's too hard to find.No wonder the Southern Song Dynasty in history could not defeat Mongolia.

The notice posted by the recruitment office only stated the recruitment of senior generals of the Royal Army of the Song Dynasty.If it is stated that they want to recruit high-level commanders like the box commander.It is estimated that even the people who signed up will not be seen.

I said helplessly: "After you finish the interview, hand over the materials of these people to me for review."

"Yes. Your Majesty."

I like to read history.People who read the story will know it.In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a famous Yue family army.There are fierce generals in the army like clouds.Despite the exaggeration of the novel.But let the golden man speak. "It's easy to shake the mountains, but it's hard to shake the Yue family's army."This is an indisputable fact.

However.Only a hundred years have passed.The army of the Song Dynasty withered like this.

"If there is no suitable general, we can only select from among the former generals of the Forbidden Army. Dear dear ministers, what suggestions do you have?"

"Your Majesty." Fan Wenhuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, came out and said. "The minister has a play."

"Fan Aiqing. Do you have any suggestions? Please tell me."

"Your Majesty, there are many young generals in the Forbidden Army who followed General Xia Gui to Huainan West Road. Many of these people are still in this year's martial arts. They have great potential. I think they can be selected from them."

Lu Xiufu said: "My minister seconded the proposal. Master Fan's suggestion is very good."

Hear what Fan Wenhuan said.I also think of the time when the army was dispatched to Luzhou.I specifically ordered the Ministry of War and the Privy Council to select more young generals for Xia Gui to take with them.In order to exercise their actual combat ability.Judging from the battle report Xia Gui sent back.The performances of these teenagers are mostly remarkable.Especially in this issue of martial arts, Shi Yuqi and Han Zhen, who abandoned literature and went to martial arts, performed very well.It was also praised by Xia Gui.The most crucial point is.They don't have the fearful heart of most Song army generals.

"Fan Aiqing. This method is feasible. Let's play it. In the name of the Ministry of War, let Xia Aiqing, the envoy of Huainan West Road, send back the details of these young generals in the Luzhou battle to Lin'an. Let me take a look first."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Fan Wenhuan said.

"En. I think it's better to be prepared. Fan Aiqing and Lu Aiqing. The Ministry of War and the Military Affairs Council will make recommendations for the former generals of the Lin'an Imperial Army on the one hand. On the other hand, they will wait for Xia Gui's memorial. Lin'an Theater and Guangnan Theater need at least five soldiers Commander. There are quite a few people." I paused. "In addition, I will go to the scene tomorrow to see. I hope the recruitment of generals on this last day will bring me a little surprise."

"Yes. Your Majesty. I will obey the order."

"Retreat."

The last day of recruiting generals.I took Fang Ling with me.Yuan Ji and Xiao Qi came to the recruitment point near the Tongle Building again.Perhaps it was influenced by later TV dramas and novels.I think the most exciting scenes should happen at the last moment.

Lin'an in October.Already chilled.today.The weather was gloomy.It makes people feel more cold.Fortunately, my physical condition has changed a lot with the improvement of martial arts.Didn't feel very cold.We sat in an open tea shop next to the recruiting point.Ordered a pot of tea and some pastries.I still wear a mask.Drinking tea and chatting with Fang Ling and the other three while watching the recruitment site.

disappointing.The last day was even worse than the earlier days.There are very few people who even come to consult.Until the end of the hour ([-]:[-] p.m.), no one signed up.

The soldiers at Fang Lingjian's recruitment site had already started to pack their things.He sighed and said, "Brother. It seems that no one has come."

I nodded.A little discouraged, he said: "En. I hope the other two places can gain something. Xiao Qi. Check out. Let's go."

"Master Jun. Wait. Me. I'll sign up."

"This brother. The time has come. We have closed the registration."

When we turned around and took two steps.He heard a voice behind him.

"Huh. Could it be that it really complied with the description in the book. The wonderful parts will appear at the end." I thought to myself.

"Mr. Jun. Me. My elder brother. The elder brother is still in the inn because of the cold. Can you please. Let me know." We looked back.I saw a big man in gray clothes standing in front of the recruitment point.This big man is tall and burly.Thick eyebrows and big eyes.About 30 years old.Although poorly dressed.But also quite heroic.

"My brother. The army has its own military regulations. We dare not violate military orders. You think this is a dinner treat."

"The military order is like a mountain. This. I accept this. Of course I understand. It's just that the matter is special. I still look to the military master. The military masters will take care of it. Let me take care of it." The big man stammered.

The officer in charge said: "Brother. Since you know that there are military orders in the army, don't make it difficult for me."

The big man in gray thought about it too.It seemed that what the officer said was irrefutable.After a while, he turned and left in the opposite direction from us.

"Come and have a look."

The big man was extremely fast.Fortunately, I practiced martial arts for a year.This is the only way to keep up.

"You. Who are you. Why do you follow. Follow a certain family."

Maybe we're following a little too closely.The big man suddenly stamped his feet and asked.

"My friend. Are you here to apply?"

"Exactly. This gentleman. Young master. What is it?"

I chuckled and said, "My friend. I saw that your application was rejected. I am here to ask about your situation. If you are really capable, I can help you and tell those soldiers."

"Skill." said the down-and-out man. "A certain family doesn't have much skills. They just practiced martial arts since childhood. It's just difficult for dozens of people to get close."

"It turns out that he is a martial arts hero. Then you should try the martial arts exam. How did you come here to sign up for the general?"

"No. Not myself. It's for my brother. My brother came to apply. I signed up."

"Really. Then where is your brother now?"

"Young master. My elder brother went to Lin'an to sign up. I was caught in the wind and cold when I was on the way. Now. Now lying in the inn."

"Oh. So it's your brother. That means your brother is very capable."

"That's right. My brother. My brother has studied military books hard since he was a child. Of course he is very capable." The gray-clothed man had a look of admiration when he talked about his brother.

"Okay. If your brother is really capable. Then I have a way to get him to sign up."

"Really." The big man showed a hint of excitement.

I smiled and said, "Of course it's true. Can you let me meet your elder brother?"

The big man in gray looked at the four of us.Doesn't seem like a bad guy either.Plus my brother has nothing.Don't have to worry about being robbed at all.He said: "Okay, young master. We. We will live in the Binyue Inn not far from here."

Fang Ling said: "Binyue Hotel. I know. Go straight and turn the corner. It will be two streets away."

"Let's go then."

The big man said "En".Take a big step.walk forward.

"The steps are solid. It is obvious that the foot is stable. It is true that he has practiced martial arts." Yuan Ji whispered in my ear as he walked.

Binyue Inn is small.Very remote.

Although Fang Ling knew the general location of the inn.Didn't realize it was so hard to find.We followed the big man and turned left and right.I saw this inn named "Bin Yue" on a dilapidated small road.

"Village in the city. Shanty town." I remembered the names of such places in big cities in later generations.And the so-called inn is no different from the ten yuan store.It was converted from a residential house.

"Brother Zhang. Your elder brother is not in good condition. I just called Doctor Lang Zhong. He is in the room. Go and have a look." The innkeeper hurriedly said as soon as he saw the big man in gray.

"Ah." The gray-clothed man panicked.He didn't bother to thank the innkeeper.Then rushed directly into the innermost hut on the left side of the inn.There was a coughing sound in the room.We also walked in with the big man.

"Mr. Xie. How is my elder brother?"

The doctor known as Dr. Xie frowned and said: "Brother Zhang. The wind and cold that your elder brother suffered is very serious. In addition, you have been on the road. You didn't get enough rest. So the situation is not good. If the old man's judgment is right, your elder brother It is very likely to injure the spleen and lungs. The old man's medical skills are powerless."

"Then. What to do."

"Brother Zhang. You should go and ask the famous doctor in Lin'an City to have a look."

"Famous doctor. Where can I find it?"

"It's not far from here. It's in the middle of Tianjie Street. There is a Hua's Medical Clinic. It is said that it was opened by the descendants of the genius doctor Hua Tuo thousands of years ago. The medical skills are superb. It's just..." Xie Langzhong stammered.

"Just what. What." The big man said anxiously.

Xie Langzhong said: "The consultation fee of the Huashi Medical Center is expensive. It is beyond the reach of ordinary people."

"I don't care about this. Even if it is tied, I have to tie him up." The gray-clothed man said.He wanted to turn around and go out.

I stretched out my hand and said, "Don't worry, my friend. I know a man with excellent medical skills in Lin'an. You can ask him to treat your eldest brother."

Xie Langzhong looked at me strangely and said, "Young Master, the Huashi Medical Center can be said to be the leading medical center in Lin'an City. Is the doctor you know better than them?"

"Oh. Xie Langzhong. The friend I know is Zhou Hui. He is the royal doctor in the palace."

"Zhou Hui. Could it be the medical master who cuts yin and yang with golden needles. Mr. Zhou Hui, who is known as the first-class imperial doctor."

"Golden needle breaks yin and yang." I didn't know that Zhou Hui had such a nickname this time.nodded. "It is this person."

Xie Langzhong excitedly said: "If it's Master Zhou, it's several times better than Fahrenheit."

I smiled and said, "Xiaoqi. You go there immediately. Just say that Mr. Huyan invited Mr. Zhou to come here for consultation."

"Yes, my lord."

"Brother Zhang. Now your elder brother should be fine. Mr. Zhou is one of the best medical masters in Lin'an City."
