Chapter 412 Yu Ban
There was a sound of cock crowing in the distance, one after another, singing a hundred harmony, just like a fresh morning song, welcoming the arrival of dawn.

It was dawn, and the mountains to the east were dark blue, the pale sky above them was gradually fainting, and the clouds above the horizon were shining like red gold.

A cavalryman galloped away from the opened city gate on a fast horse, and disappeared in the distance in just an instant.

This is the messenger sent by Li Heng. These cavalry not only send orders for the meritorious ministers to return to Luoyang to report on their work and receive rewards, but also serve as secret missions.

Go to various places to secretly recruit the personnel on the list given by Li Heng.

The reason why it was done in secret was because such a large-scale recruitment of talents would never be allowed by the court officials. This has already touched the interests of many aristocratic families.

You must know that the imperial court's Taixue has existed in name only, and the so-called investigation system has long been in the hands of the aristocratic family.

The selection and promotion of court officials almost all fell into the hands of the aristocratic families, and being firmly grasped by them was one of the important means for them to maintain their status.

At this juncture, if the matter is carried out publicly, there is absolutely no possibility of success.

Just like in history, Cao Cao issued a recruitment order to recruit talents. Don't other princes know the benefits of it?

They are not stupid to be a vassal, such a simple thing can be seen naturally, but they have no way to do it, and their rule is all maintained by the aristocratic family.

How similar is Li Heng's situation today, before he has enough strength, he will only gain more than lose if he hastily turned his face against the aristocratic family.

Don't look at the fact that Li Heng has a lot of power now, but in fact it's just an appearance. If you really think about it, Li Heng can really only control the Royal Forest Army.

In fact, since the Eastern Han Dynasty moved the capital to Luoyang, the Imperial Forest Army of the Great Han Dynasty has existed in name only, and the eight-yuan school lieutenant in history was formed by the remaining Imperial Forest Army.

In addition to the army, Li Heng's influence was less than [-]%, and the local county soldiers were the knives in the hands of the powerful families.

Don't you see that even if Li Heng deals with some small families, he still has to find a reason to make them speechless.

With the return of generals from all walks of life, outside Hulao pass of time, the army gathered.

However, Li Heng took advantage of this and sent an order to each army to select [-] brave and skilled fighters to fill the Han Yulin Army.

The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty fell into the turmoil because of this, but they were helpless after all, because the army gathered outside Hulao Pass.

How many of them obeyed the emperor's order, they dare not gamble on the chances.

Therefore, although the reaction was huge, but with a large army outside, they could only let it go.

Not to mention that the imperial forest army system still exists, and there is a tradition of selecting brave and skilled fighters from various armies to fill the imperial forest army.

Of course, secret means are indispensable.

However, Li Heng didn't care much about whether the selected soldiers were brave and capable soldiers.

After all, what Li Heng wanted was only soldiers, as long as they were not old, weak, or disabled, they were all acceptable.

If it weren't for the vicinity of Luoyang, there wouldn't be many soldiers recruited at all...

As for the aristocratic families who sent people to join them, it can only be said that they came to deliver food. The rebuilt Imperial Forest Army, if used in the usual way, would not last for a few years, so it would be embarrassing to use.

But the next thing, without a strong army in hand, is simply difficult to carry out.

Hulao Pass, as an important pass, although there are many camps inside the pass, but with Li Heng's order, the guards of Hulao Pass would not dare to let in troops from outside the pass.

Therefore, except for some senior generals who were allowed to enter Hulao Pass, the rest camped on the spot.

On this day, the wind was sunny and the sun was shining brightly, but at this moment, Jun Sima Yujin's complexion was not very good-looking.

Originally, things like accepting soldiers should be done by the school lieutenant of the Imperial Forest Army, but although the Imperial Forest Army's establishment is still there, it is only a shelf, and there is no one to serve as the school lieutenant.

Therefore, the largest in the imperial forest army is only the Sima of each army.

After Li Heng found out that Yu Jin was the Sima of the Imperial Forest Army, after some investigation, he confirmed his talent, and named him to accept soldiers.

Although Li Heng asked Yu Jin to take over as long as he was not old, weak, sick or disabled.

But Yu Jin didn't want to do that, so he naturally wanted to make it more beautiful.

It's like getting the appreciation of the boss after a long time, ordering the task, and naturally trying to make it perfect, so as to leave a good impression on the boss.

This is naturally the case for Yu Jin, but with the scene in front of him now, Yu Jin couldn't help but look ugly.

I saw the six thousand standing sparsely in front of me, loose and loose, talking constantly, it was like standing or sitting, it was just a mob.

If it wasn't for the armor of the Han army, who would have known that he was a soldier.

Before coming here, Yu Jin had thought that it was impossible for the generals to really dedicate their elites, but he did not expect that among the 6000 people, there were not even [-] elites.

However, no one dared to mix the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, all of them were young and strong.

It is estimated that the re-recruitment of the people for training is much better than them.

Naturally, Yu Jin couldn't really bring 6000 people back.

"Hmph! General Lu, General Huangfusong, these are the good soldiers you picked out." Yu Jin frowned and said to the two of them.

When Lu Zhi and Huangfusong heard the words, they were also full of embarrassment, and at the same time felt a little helpless.

Although both of them have commanded an army all the way, that's all. After all, they are not theirs. The generals below have no good way to do this.

Of course, the two of them also didn't want to worship the reconstruction of the Imperial Forest Army, but at this time Yu Jin said so, and the two of them could only accompany Yu Jin to the generals.

At the same time, the two were a little dissatisfied with the actions of the generals below. The 6000 people really didn't have any elites at all. The two could understand that at least half of the 6000 people were cooks, and this was overdone.

Because of this, the two of them were willing to accompany Yu Jin for a trip if they were confronted with similar questions.

In the end, after Yu Jin's hard work, three thousand elite soldiers and three thousand ordinary soldiers were finally picked out.

Yu Jin returned to Luoyang with the soldiers he had received. Yu Jin did not go back slowly, but marched back in a hurry.

However, along the way, Yu Jin's face was extremely dark, and there was no one else, because there were too many people who fell behind along the way because of the hasty march.

There were less than 1000 people who were able to march all the way back in a hurry without falling behind. This time, Yu Jin knew that he had been fooled.

Of the [-] elites, only the [-] are the only ones.

As a result, in three full days, all 6000 talents returned to the Yulin Army camp. You must know that Hulao Pass is not far from Luoyang, and you can reach it by marching for a long distance, or even half a day...
