Chapter 834 The three armies are easy to get, but one general is hard to find

Those who can participate in the competition are all elites among the elites in the Shuofang's strategic army. It is no problem to be skilled in the archery and horses. However, Wu Bogang, the director of the military officer, said that the loss rate of Shuofang's war horses was too high, and then a horse was shot to death as soon as he was shot. Although Li Qi, the deputy envoy of Shuofang, who was also the commander of the military army, looked bad, the general Cao Xiangdong and the two deputy generals Xie Zhi and Chen Yong were also a little embarrassed. Before Du Shiyi could speak, Yang Yunde called a personal soldier to ask. Soon the personal soldier quickly came back and whispered to Cao Xiangdong.

¨It was Guo Xianfeng who commanded a team under his command."

When he heard that it was the envoy Guo Pioneer, Xie Zhi, who had a sharp ear, raised his eyebrows: Which envoy Guo Pioneer? Is Guo Ziyi, who was just reinstated as the envoy of the Pioneer after being renamed by the Grand Marshal?”

Xie Zhi's voice was very small, and Du Shiyi could hear it clearly, but he remained silent. The personal soldier had never thought that the chief general had not spoken, but Xie Zhi snatched the talk, and stood there in a hurry, making a big embarrassment. In the end, he saw that all the civil and military officials from top to bottom turned their eyes to him, and he just replied with a gritty answer: It was Guo Ziyi, the envoy of Guo Pioneer."

Hearing that it was Guo Ziyi, Xie Zhi couldn't help but glance at Du Shiyi intentionally. Seeing that he actually smiled at him, he was caught off guard. He was about to say a few words and suddenly felt a little chill in his heart. Then he remembered Ye Wenjun, the former Secretary of the Shuofang Jiedu, who had just been sentenced to three thousand miles of prison. Thinking of Du Shiyi's ruthless method of almost uprooting Guo Zhiyun's direct line when he was in Longyou, he was a little unsure whether he would end up with the same fate soon after if he had a conflict in person. For a moment, he felt that the words he reached his throat choked back, and he didn't say anything for the time being.

Although Xie Zhi, the person who suddenly started the trouble, did not speak anymore, and the others would not rashly take over the conversation. They only heard the silence around them, as if in sharp contrast with the hustle and bustle competition on the lower side. The shouts of shouting were endless. Du Shiyi saw that no one spoke, so that the personal soldiers at the beginning were like a slightest feeling, and he laughed.

¨After the competition, the team that shot the war horses with one arrow was bringing me, along with his chief general Guo Ziyi."

In the past, it is common to die one or two horses. After all, compared to shooting those still targets, although the horse-straw man is not as comfortable as the real person, there is always a little bit of riding and shooting on the battlefield. Of course, if you learn from Turkic people to compete for sheep or other competitions, let alone horses, even people will suffer casualties.

When the contest finally ended, the brave generals and soldiers came off for a while. When the result came out, the team leader Zhou Lin was excited and then learned that the commander of the general was summoned. He couldn't help but feel puzzled. He followed the high platform and saw that Guo Ziyi, who had returned to the position of vanguard, also came, and suddenly became uneasy.

At this moment, he finally remembered that in order to win with others, he seemed to miss the opportunity to shoot a war horse.

In front of everyone, Zhou Lin couldn't say anything to Guo Ziyi. He just walked up the stairs next to the high platform of Dayue, and glanced at the other person's face carefully. Seeing that it was indeed a little dark, he immediately complained secretly. If he had known that this would cause trouble, he would not have been confused for the sake of victory and lost his hand for a while.

On the high platform, Wang Changling was asking why Lai Shengyan did not need to remove the iron arrowhead when the archery competition was held. Lai Shengyan shook his head and said: "What Shao Bo said is that although he cherishes horsepower, he doesn't know that the arrowhead will be greatly reduced if he goes to the arrowhead. What's more, the competition is to present an atmosphere similar to the battlefield. If it weren't for the real person's drill, he would have suffered heavy casualties, and he would not have tied up the grass man on the horse's back."

¨What Brother Yan said is very true, we have thought it simple. Of course, special arrows can be made, but if this is done for a big competition, it will be even more funny." Gao Shi nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly saw the person coming up there, and he coughed lightly, "It seems that the person has arrived."

Everyone knows that after Du Shiyi was promoted to the court and met with generals, he summoned many people alone. Among them, Guo Ziyi was just reborn as a general without soldiers because of Du Shiyi's words. At this moment, his men under him made such mistakes that were not flaws. It was just that Wu Bo, the director of the army, said that the loss rate of horses in Shuofang was too high, so there were many people who were interested in watching the show.

Du Shiyi had already seen the nervous expressions on the faces of Guo Ziyi and Zhou Lin. After they walked forward and bowed forward, he nodded slightly, then skipped Guo Ziyi, and asked Zhou Lin: "You will be the first to participate in the bow and horse competition today. What is the difference between the ten arrows?"

Seeing that Du Shiyi did not ask about his mistake in shooting the horse, but asked about the geometry of the horse, Zhou Lin relaxed a little, but still did not dare to look up. He just said respectfully: ¨Report to the commander, he scored eight of ten arrows."

If it is a fixed target, there are some archers in the army who are shot with perfect arrows, but when shooting those straw men who are carried around by mounts, the accuracy will be greatly reduced. Du Shiyi asked before meeting people and knew that five out of ten were already quite good archers. At this moment, when he heard Zhou Lin's words that he was eight out of ten arrows, he immediately praised: "It's true that he is a brave elite in the army."

Faced with such praise, Zhou Lin immediately felt a little confused about whether he was summoned today or not. He was supposed to be humble, but he thought that the person who came to pass the message also reminded that the generals above were talking about the horse he shot to death. He gritted his teeth and bowed deeply: "Master, forgive me, because he was not good at learning skills, and he missed the horse to death."

¨It's just an accident. Isn't it worth an archer?" Du Shiyi smiled and asked Zhang Xing beside him, "X-Trail, what's the result of the bow and horse competition you asked before?"

Zhang Xing immediately surrendered and reported: ¨Master, today's archery competition, the end of 47 people, the best result is nine out of ten arrows, only one person, and three people are eight out of ten arrows. This is considered to be among thousands of troops, and the next time the seat is the one who will win the next time."

¨ Such a good achievement, naturally I can get a war horse. "Du Shiyi said this firmly. Seeing that there were still people in the middle of the civil and military, he didn't care at all, but stood up happily and said, "Even if as Wu Ganjun said before, the loss rate of the war horse in Shuofang was extremely high, compared to a war-torn elite, killing a horse is nothing compared to a war-torn elite. Shuofang was facing the Turks, Hu Di lived in mixed places, and the bow and horse competition has been passed down for decades, in order to make the generals and soldiers be prepared for danger in times of peace and victory in the battlefield. When I was in Yunzhou, Daizhou and Longyou, there were polo competitions in the army. When the two sides were in the fiercest victory, it was no problem for people to turn on their horses. Not to mention horses, even people would suffer casualties. Why is this? It is also to inspire the blood and energy of the army. The order was sent to today's bow and horse competition, the top four people awarded a war horse to inspire."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sage came to Saint Yan saluted solemnly and replied: "As for the order of the commander."

Lai Shengyan, as the most trusted judge of the Jiedu, was quite famous in the army. Seeing that he had never objected, the other civil and military officials looked at each other and calmed down for a moment. Zhou Lin did not expect that it was not the rumor that he wanted to pursue the fault, but such rewards were still there. He was surprised and happy. After thanking him, he couldn't help but look up his head, and then he saw Du Shiyi's face clearly.

Compared with the rumors that the young and energetic young man was rumored, Du Shiyi, who was sitting there, had a bright and majestic look on his face. He was just facing that gaze, and he hurriedly lowered his head.

¨ However, although horses are not as valuable as sharp soldiers, they also need to be cherished. Although our dynasty has laws, those who kill horses and cattle are only for one year, there are first-class ignorant children in the Central Plains who steal cattle and share their food. Sometimes there are military soldiers in the border towns who occasionally kill horses and eat meat. These are all unwilling tolerate the few horses in Shuofang, but why can the iron cavalry be powerful and the Hu Di tremble? It is because of the elite soldiers and horses in Shuofang, but also because the cavalry can be as one as one with the mounts. Therefore, I have been free to read the old policies of King Xin'an during my tenure in the past few days. At that time, there was a horse that was killed in battle or injured in some cases, but there were still occasional violations of the ban. Now I declare that the ban is strictly prohibited. If it is not for the war, the horses who have died in battle will be buried and fasted. In addition, the military animal husbandry supervisors strictly assess the horses and will be promoted and punished according to whether the horses are fat or not."

Speaking of this, Du Shiyi looked around everyone and his eyes finally fell on Guo Ziyi.

¨Guo Ziyi, you used to be just a minor mistake, so I gave you the position of pioneering commander. Now your bravery is outstanding in the archery competition, which shows that you have a keen eye to recognize people. It is easy to get a general in the three armies, so you can do it yourself, don’t let your Guo family down.”

Guo Ziyi is quite popular among the generals, so he knew when he discussed the accident of shooting the horse to death. But who had thought that it was not that the thunder was loud and the rain was small, but that there was no blame at all. When he heard Du Shiyi's earnest message, he felt even more enthusiastic and immediately saluted: "Abide by the commander of the commander."

Zhou Lin was even more happy that he received a war horse in addition to the rewards of the archery and horse competition for no reason. After thanking him, he retreated with Guo Ziyi.

When the school review competition ended on this day and everyone was scattered, Xie Zhi, deputy general of the Strategic Army, and several other generals, went back, and couldn't help but sneer: "The Grandmaster is really biased to the end. Even if he does something wrong, he will say that he will succeed. For example, Ye Wenjun has made a slight mistake but will be punished severely. This is really a distortion of the black and white, regardless of right and wrong."

Hearing this, several generals and schools around him quickly tried to comfort him and talked about it. After sending the deputy general of the Strategic Army home, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly escaped.
