The station chief who reported the news returned to the camp gate. He did not have time to wipe the sweat off his forehead before he knelt on one knee in front of Dong Song.
"Lord Prefect has invited you, please come to the drill ground.”
Dong Song nodded and led Li Cunxiao and Zhe Bie to cross the camp gate.
The Western Liang Army's camp was huge, but the drill ground was not difficult to find.
The huge drill ground was filled with voices. Dong Song followed the sound and quickly arrived at the edge of the drill ground.
At this moment, Dong Zhuo was standing at the edge of the platform.
"You are all good sons of my Liangzhou. This time, you will leave Liangzhou with me and go to Jizhou to destroy the Yellow Turban Army. This was a great opportunity to make contributions to the court.”
As soon as Dong Zhuo finished speaking, he turned around, grabbed a spear, and stabbed it into the ground.
"Right now, I need a vanguard general to lead my vanguard army of three thousand. Whoever has the right to fight against the heroes and win will have the right to pull out this spear and become my vanguard general.”
"May I ask if the Qiang people are qualified to compete for the position of vanguard general?”
"I, Dong Zhuo, have always done things fairly. All the soldiers in my army, regardless of their status or background, are qualified to compete for the position of vanguard general.”
After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, he returned to his seat.
"Let's start the competition now. Let's see who has the right to pull out the spear and become the vanguard general of our Western Liang army.”
The Western Liang Army under Dong Zhuo had a total of 30,000 soldiers. According to the military code of the Great Han Dynasty, the vanguard army would have one out of ten soldiers, and all of them would be elites.
In other words, the vanguard general of the Western Liang Army could lead 3,000 elite soldiers.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were five people in a team, with a captain. Ten men for a tenth, And a tenth long. There were 50 people in a team with a leader. One hundred people in a village, there is a village chief. Two hundred men made a song, and there was a marquis. There are 1,000 people in a division, with Sima or Colonel, among which the Colonel is the middle and Sima is the deputy.
If he could command 3,000 troops, he could become a lieutenant.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the rank of lieutenant was different, and the salary was different from day to day. However, the lowest rank of a lieutenant was two hundred stones.
As Dong Zhuo's words fell, the eyes of the soldiers on the drill ground instantly turned red.
"I am Ma San, the current station commander of the Left Army. Please enlighten me."
A burly man holding a long spear walked up to the high platform.
"My name is Huang Ren, and I am currently a former military marquis.”
In the blink of an eye, two people ascended the high platform and began fighting after reporting their names.
"Lord Prefect's plan is brilliant. Firstly, it can select talents for our army, and secondly, it can raise the morale of our army.”
Li Jue stood behind Dong Zhuo and said with a smile.
Li Jue and Guo Si were tall and slender, but they did not look very strong. They were two of Dong Zhuo's elite cavalry, the Flying Bear Army.
"Lord Prefect, I wonder if I have the chance to fight.”
The person who said this was called Niu Fu. Niu Fu and Li Ru were Dong Zhuo's sons-in-law and were considered close to Dong Zhuo.
"I've already said that I value fairness the most, so no matter where you come from, you're all qualified to fight.”
Dong Zhuo said with a smile.
In reality, everyone knew that Dong Zhuo hoped that Niu Fu could take the position of vanguard general.
After all, one should not let the fertile water flow into others 'fields.
"Thank you for your help, Mayor."
"I've given everyone a chance. Whether or not you can take the vanguard position will depend on your own ability.”
"I understand."
While Dong Zhuo and Niu Fu were talking, Dong Song rode his horse to the platform.
Coincidentally, Ma San, the station chief on the high platform, was eliminated. Without thinking, Dong Song jumped off his horse and walked onto the high platform with his Zhanmadao.
"Who are you? How dare you fight with me, Huang Ren?”
"My name is Dong Song!"
"What is your current position in the army? Why haven't I heard of your name before?”
"I just joined the Western Liang Army today.”
Hearing Dong Song's words, the drill ground suddenly burst into laughter.
However, unlike the soldiers on the drill ground, Dong Zhuo and the others on the high platform did not laugh.
Especially Dong Zhuo. His face was gloomy as he stared at Dong Song with anger. He was just a step away from drawing his saber and charging at Dong Song.
"I'm the military marquis of the Western Liang army and have followed the mayor for many years. How can you have the right to fight me?”
"Lord Prefect said that this battle does not concern one's background, so I hope Lord Military Marquis can enlighten me.”
"Good! I'll let you, this brat who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, lose wholeheartedly.”
Dong Zhuo closed his eyes when he saw Huang Ren lunging at Qin Song with his spear.
"Wenyou, take him away after this and treat him well. Then, secretly send him back to Longxi. Don't let the soldiers know that he's my son.”
However, as soon as Dong Zhuo finished speaking, Qin Song's Zhanmadao cut Huang Ren's spear in half. At the same time, the sharp Zhanmadao in Dong Song's hand was fixed on Huang Ren's shoulder.
"You lost!"
