Chapter 82 The Eight Battalions of the Capital
All the people who took part in the examination in Huaizhou were present. Among them were five generals and four sons of aristocratic families, but none of them came from a poor family.
After all, the Wei Dynasty is the Wei Dynasty of the imperial court and aristocratic families. Ordinary people and poor families really have no good way out except joining the army.
In fact, people who take off as fast as Zhou Yuan are extremely rare. Normal generals would take the path of accumulating meritorious service, but only the children of aristocratic families would take the path of receiving treasures and receiving gifts.
To put it simply, generals are promoted through meritorious service, and sons of aristocratic families spend money to buy their way.
Therefore, whether a child from a poor family or a descendant from a branch of an aristocratic family becomes a general, there is a big gap between him and a normal aristocratic family.
They are not meant to be on the same page, let alone get along.
Therefore, as soon as the team entering Beijing to take the exam left the Huaizhou camp, they faintly divided into two groups.
One group surrounded the camp representative Zhongwu Xiaowei, and the other group followed the governor of the state, Shi.
However, several members of the aristocratic family were more aware of the crisis. When resting on the road, they often found friendly generals to communicate with each other.
Probably because the Huaizhou generals entered the capital, they only entered the capital camp from the local military camp.
Although he no longer has the direct supervision of his superiors, he still has the imperial military position to rely on, so he can naturally integrate into the capital camp.
But the situation is different for the children of local aristocratic families. When they enter the capital, they can only seek refuge with relatives and friends from their hometown. The status of that aristocratic family is not easy to use when they arrive in the capital.
Zhou Yuan had just finished dealing with the children of the Gu family of Ningkang and the Li family of Chi'an when he heard Captain Lu of Huaizhou asking about the plan for the spiritual test.
"Captain Yang, we only have nine people from Huaizhou taking the test, and there won't be many from other states.
In this way, the total of the thirteen states of the Wei Dynasty only has more than a hundred candidates. Does this mean that the difficulty of the New Yuanling Test is relatively low? "
"You are right, but you have omitted some people, and that is the nobles of the imperial court.
They have always followed the path of the New Yuanling Trial, and with their extensive connections and numerous treasures, they are indeed strong opponents. "
"Don't think it's unfair. The end of your service in the army is to become a nobleman with your country.
If we generals are lucky enough to become new nobles in the imperial court, we will resolutely uphold the inheritance system of honors and nobles. "
Captain Zhongwu was right. Honors and generals are inseparable from each other. The two are just status differences caused by different merits.
This statement illustrates the level of competition in the New Spiritual Examination. Although there will be fewer participants than in the Open Spiritual Examination, the opponents still have their own methods.
"I see. I hope those noble sons are more valuable, otherwise we really have no advantage."
"Don't worry, taking the exam is difficult and easy said all the time.
You are all talented warriors from the Huaizhou Camp. In a normal competition, your winning rate is very high. "
The group of people walked and chatted, their fast horses galloping and not daring to waste time. They hurriedly and slowly arrived at the Dquhe Ferry before relaxing their tense nerves.
Since they were traveling on a Huaizhou Navy ship, they traveled very smoothly.
Even the intelligent demons hidden in the water did not dare to cause trouble to these ships.
In this way, horses and boats rotated around each other, and after traveling for a full month, they finally reached the capital.
At this point, everyone in Huaizhou will separate. The sons of the aristocratic family will go to the capital to wait for the examination under the leadership of Huaizhou Governor.
The Huaizhou generals, led by Lieutenant Zhongwu, rushed to Yaowu Camp, one of the eight camps in the capital, to resume their duties.
The eight camps in the capital are divided into four martial camps: Fen, Yao, Lian, and Xian, and the four military camps of Li, Stretch, Yang, and Zhen.
They were selected and built in the outer suburbs of the capital. They were mobile forces directly under the Wei Dynasty and could take orders at any time.
Compared with the four armies in the capital, the Northern Army, the Southern Army, Huben, and Yu Lin are the real emperor's forbidden army.
"Brother Zhou, you go back to the camp to rest first, and I'll go to the capital to explore the way.
After you come back to life and the ban is lifted, I will take all the brothers to have fun for a few days. "
Gu Xi, who came from the Gu family in Ningkang, was very capable and had integrated three other sons of the Huaizhou family along the way.
Even Yilin Chen Xin, who had a grudge against him, was won over by him, fearing that he would use him as a thorn.
"Fellow fellow citizens, please go ahead. I will reunite in the capital in a while."
The military system of the Wei Dynasty was strict, and state generals such as Zhou Yuan who came to take part in the examination were not allowed to cross the capital camp and enter the capital directly.
Therefore, they had to go to the Yaowu Camp of the capital to stay for a few days to see the elegance of the sergeants in the capital camp.
Only after entering Yaowu Camp did Zhou Yuan realize how full of martial virtue the Wei court had.
[Level 30 Yaowu Warrior], [Level 30 Yaowu Shooting Sound], [Level 35 Yaowu Warrior]
When a group of majestic warriors with bright armor and neat military appearance appeared to escort a middle-aged general, Zhou Yuan had deep doubts about the upper-level configuration of the Wei Dynasty.
"Yang Fu, the captain of Zhongwu School in Huaizhou, has met Lu Canjun. These five people are all our generals in Huaizhou. Their identities are correct and their integrity has been verified.
This is a document personally written by the Governor of Huaizhou, please join the army for your review. "
The [Level 35 Yaowu Rui Shi] took the document and checked it carefully before he signaled the soldiers to open the city gate and let the Huaizhou soldiers in.
Fortunately, most of the soldiers in Yaowu Camp were normal soldiers, otherwise Zhou Yuan would have thought that this camp was a high-level dungeon.
Zhou Yuan was not the only one who was curious about Yaowu Camp. The other four Huaizhou generals also looked around as soon as they entered the military city.
Lu Canjun, who bears the mark of [Level 35 Yaowu Rishi], is used to this kind of behavior, and he didn't say anything about the importance of the military camp and that he should not look around.
"Huaizhou son, please take a rest for the night. Tomorrow, you will select souls with the Shuozhou soldiers."
"promise."
After Lu Shenjun introduced the Huaizhou soldiers into a compound, he left on his own, maintaining dignity and law throughout the process.
After he left, the soldiers of Huaizhou felt much more at ease. It was not that they were timid, but that the soldiers were full of murderous aura, which made them particularly uncomfortable.
"Don't people say that the Beijing camp is rich? I didn't expect that the soldiers of the Beijing camp are not only not lax, but also extremely elite."
"You said they are the Beijing camp. If they can't control the local area, wouldn't there be frequent chaos?
Captain Yang, what is the selection of spirits? But we generals must pass the internal test before we can participate in the new Yuanling test held by the court."
Zhou Yuan thought for a moment and figured out why there were humanoid monsters in the Beijing camp.
Since the copy monsters can gain intelligence and have human form, the Wei Dynasty has no reason to refuse their loyalty.
It can be said that the humanoid monsters also made great contributions to the Wei Dynasty's victory over the world.
After all, when there are chaos and dynasties change, the most lacking thing is brutal killing.
"What are you talking about? You are the real imperial lineage. Even if there is an internal examination, those children of aristocratic families should be tested. How could you be eliminated for no reason?
Selecting spirits is a welfare in the camp. Yaowu Camp will take out more than 20 kinds of spirit objects for you to try.
You must carefully select and choose the spirit object that best suits you to quickly replenish your energy during the examination."
"By the way, Zhou Yuan, you are a shooter, different from the others. The camp will also provide you with two pots of arrows."
Lieutenant Yang's speech made the generals of Huaizhou very excited.
No wonder Huaizhou Camp didn't mention the spirit objects for replenishing qi. It turns out that the Beijing Camp not only provides them, but also allows them to select the most suitable ones.
This is really arrogant and warms the hearts of local generals.
"The martial arts of the Wei Dynasty are really demonstrated everywhere. I didn't expect that even the Beijing Camp would deliberately gather the hearts of the generals."
