Chapter 160: Hot-blooded Recruitment
At noon, the sun was high in the sky, a blazing iron plate scorching the earth mercilessly. Every inch of air seemed on fire, the stifling heat almost impossible to breathe. The square where the conscription office was located was packed with people, shoulder to shoulder. The cacophony of noise, shouts, and complaints mingled like a pot of boiling water, poised to erupt at any moment.
"Everyone, don't push. Come one by one!" the recruiting officer shouted at the top of his lungs, but his voice was quickly drowned out by the noise of the crowd. His forehead was covered with beads of sweat, which rolled down his cheeks and soaked his collar. He still tried hard to maintain order, but he seemed so powerless. His voice was hoarse, but he kept repeating those few weak words.
"The conscription quota is so limited, how can we even get a turn?" A sturdy young man's eyes widened, his face filled with anxiety and resentment. Sweat streamed down his stoic face, soaking his tattered clothes. His name was Zhao Gang, a farmer's son who had practiced martial arts since childhood, dreaming of one day galloping onto the battlefield and achieving great success. Now that the opportunity was right in front of him, looking at the thronging crowd, his hope gradually gave way to anxiety.
"That's right, with so many people competing, the chances are slim!" A thin, scholar-like figure nearby also complained, gripping the scroll tightly, his knuckles white from the strain. This man, Li Yi, was weak, but he harbored a deep desire to serve his country, hoping to use his wisdom and wisdom to serve the country.
Just then, there was a sudden commotion among the crowd.
"Oh no, there's a fight!"
That shout was like a drop of water in hot oil, instantly causing the scene to explode. It turned out that several young men were fighting for a front-row position. They refused to yield, throwing punches and kicks, and the fight was fierce. The people around them fled, but couldn't help but watch, and the scene became increasingly chaotic.
One of the young men, Wang Meng, was a burly man with immense strength. He used his physical prowess to shove the others aside. The other, Liu Hui, was smaller but stubborn and refused to back down. The two men fought, each refusing to yield, leaving them bruised and battered.
Amidst this chaotic crowd, a pair of sinister eyes secretly watched all this. He was a spy sent by the enemy nation, named Hu San, who had infiltrated the city disguised as an ordinary civilian. He was short and ordinary-looking, yet he exuded a cunning aura. Hu San, secretly gloating, plotted how to exploit the chaos to create greater conflict and undermine his country's conscription plan.
At this time, the chaos in the conscription office had attracted the attention of the court.
When Concubine Su learned about the situation at the conscription office, she became extremely anxious and immediately decided to go there in person to take charge.
She was dressed in a gorgeous crimson palace gown, the golden phoenix embroidered on the hem gleaming in the sunlight. She wore a phoenix crown, her hairpins swaying gently, and every step exuded majesty and dignity. The maids followed her cautiously, fearing even the slightest mistake.
"Everyone, be quiet!" Concubine Su's voice was clear and powerful, instantly penetrating the noisy crowd, like a thunderclap, making everyone quiet down instantly.
Her eyes were as sharp as torches, scanning the crowd sharply, as if she could see through everything.
"I am well aware that everyone is eager to serve the country, but chaos and disorder will only make things worse. We will select fairly and impartially, and as long as you have real ability, you will have the opportunity to join the army." Concubine Su's words were powerful and gave everyone hope.
The crowd gradually quieted down, and everyone's eyes were focused on Concubine Su, expecting her to bring about change.
During the selection process, Concubine Su observed carefully and did not miss any details.
Suddenly, she discovered the sneaky Hu San.
When Hu San answered the questions, his eyes were evasive and his words were unclear. Concubine Su became alert and quietly gave a look, asking her confidants to investigate secretly.
The confidants acted quickly and secretly verified Hu San's identity.
After some investigation, it was finally confirmed that Hu San was a spy from the enemy country.
"How dare you, you bold spy, to cause trouble here!" Concubine Su shouted angrily, her voice full of anger and majesty.
Hu San's face turned pale in an instant, and he tried to escape, but was captured by the soldiers who had been lying in ambush nearby. His plot was exposed, and everyone was furious when they learned about it. They pointed at him and cursed him non-stop.
"He's actually a spy from the enemy country. How despicable!"
"He almost ruined everything!"
Concubine Su took this opportunity to boost morale: "Soldiers, the enemy is trying to sabotage our conscription plan, but they will not succeed! We must defend our country even more resolutely and intimidate the enemy!"
Concubine Su's words were like a passionate war drum, beating in everyone's heart. The soldiers' eyes burned with rage, their hearts filled with hatred for the enemy and determination to defend their country.
Under the wise leadership of Concubine Su, the selection process went smoothly, not only selecting many strong and skilled male soldiers, but also unexpectedly discovering some female soldiers with extraordinary wisdom and courage.
Among them was a female soldier named Lin Yu, petite but with a resolute gaze. She had trained in martial arts with her father since childhood and was well-versed in military tactics. She performed exceptionally well in the selection process, impressing everyone.
"This woman is very skilled and intelligent. She will definitely add strength to the army." Concubine Su said with appreciation.
Lin Yu knelt down to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation. I will do my best to serve the country."
There is also a female soldier named Zhou Yue who is good at medicine. She hopes to treat the wounded on the battlefield and protect the lives of the soldiers.
In the end, the conscription was successfully completed and the morale of the army was greatly boosted.
The soldiers were all full of fighting spirit, with the flame of battle burning in their eyes, ready to fight for their country.
Concubine Su looked at these soldiers full of vigor and determination with a heart full of satisfaction, for she knew that the future of the country lay in the hands of these brave men.
After returning to the palace, Concubine Su was still concerned about the conscription.
"This conscription is of great significance. We must ensure that the soldiers are well trained and equipped," she said to the ministers around her.
The ministers nodded one after another and expressed their determination to do their best.
In the days that followed, the new recruits began arduous training. Zhao Gang displayed remarkable perseverance and courage, giving his all in every training session and never complaining about the hardship or fatigue. Li Yi, with his intelligence and talent, provided valuable suggestions for tactical development.
Female soldiers such as Lin Yu and Zhou Yue were not to be outdone. They used their actions to prove that women can also play an important role in the army.
The captured spy Hu San revealed some of the enemy's plots and plans during interrogation. Based on this intelligence, Concubine Su adjusted the military deployment in a timely manner and strengthened the border defense.
As time went by, the recruits gradually grew into an elite division, always ready to face the coming war.
On a quiet night, an alarm suddenly sounded at the border. The enemy army was approaching, and the war broke out instantly.
Concubine Su personally saw the soldiers off, her eyes full of trust and expectation.
"Soldiers, the safety of the country is entrusted to you. I hope you will return victorious!"
The soldiers shouted: "Defend the country and never retreat!"
On the battlefield, Zhao Gang charged forward, killing countless enemies. Li Yi used his wisdom and clever tactics to put the enemy in a difficult position. Lin Yu and Zhou Yue also played an important role in their respective positions, treating the wounded and boosting morale.
After a fierce battle, the enemy was finally repelled and peace returned to the border.
This victory made the whole country cheer, and Concubine Su's wise decision and intelligent leadership in the conscription office became a legend among people and will be passed down forever.
