"Oh? Good at riding and shooting, then I'd like to take a closer look." Meng Tian immediately became interested. It is not easy to train cavalry, and there are not many war horses in the Qin Dynasty.
The condition of war horses has only improved during this period. The horseshoes, saddles and stirrups made by Zhao Qingrui were finally used by the garrison in Shangjun.
With horseshoes, the wear and tear of war horses' hooves was greatly reduced. A small piece of iron was unexpectedly useful.
The existing iron-making technology of the Qin Dynasty is still too backward, but it is still possible to make some horseshoes.
Meng Yi looked at Han Xin. He didn't look very tall.
However, are they Chu Yan’s classmates? There are also several classmates of Chu Yan in Shangjun. These people are very capable and have developed very well.
The person in front of him turned out to be Meng Tian. Han Xin jumped up quickly. He naturally knew Meng Tian. Han Xin admired these famous generals in his heart and hoped that he could be as powerful as them one day.
Meng Tian picked up a cavalryman at random and started to compete with Han Xin. Those who could stay in the military camp and were cavalrymen must have good skills and were all elites in the army.
Someone brought a war horse, and Wu Shibin, who was chosen by Meng Tian, said, "You choose first." He was ready to give way to the newcomer.
"Thank you." Han Xin was not pretentious. These war horses were very strong and had experienced many battles.
Watching Han Xin selecting war horses and weapons, Meng Tian narrowed his eyes slightly. This guy is really familiar with these things.
If he really has the ability, the army will have another powerful general.
Although Han Xin carried a sword, it was inconvenient to carry a sword after he chose a warhorse, so he directly picked up a long spear that was convenient for him.
During this period, he had better food to eat at Jingshui Pavilion, and Zhao Wen gave him various trainings, which made him stronger as well.
There was no one over there to practice with, and he didn't know how capable he was. Now was a good opportunity to see the gap between himself and these people.
After getting on their horses, the two men soon engaged in combat.
Although Han Xin was a novice, he was able to easily withstand Wu Shibin's attack. Both of them used long spears, and the back and forth was very exciting.
However, after dozens of moves, Wu Shibin dodged and knocked away Han Xin's weapon, and the long spear fell on Han Xin's neck, and the battle was declared over.
Next, the two competed in archery and their ability to fight on horseback.
Wu Shibin had been through hundreds of battles, while Han Xin had only been exposed to these things for a short time. Although he lost, he still won with honor.
"Very good, very good. You have persisted until now and your results are very impressive." Meng Tian said in surprise and was very satisfied with Han Xin.
The selection requirements for cavalry are very high, which is why there are not many cavalrymen.
Han Xin's current performance has exceeded the standards for cavalry selection.
Putting the weapon back in his hand, Wu Shibin walked over and patted Han Xin on the shoulder, "You are very good. Let's spar again next time."
If it weren't for his rich experience, he would have almost fallen into this kid's trap several times, but Wu Shibin was very optimistic about him.
He originally thought that he was just a relative, but unexpectedly he was not just a show-off, but had real skills. He retracted his prejudice.
"Okay." He wiped the sweat from his forehead. He felt very satisfied after the competition. It was much better than when he practiced by himself at Jingshui Pavilion. It also made him realize many of his shortcomings.
No one looked down on Han Xin anymore because of his demonstrated abilities, and Meng Tian directly asked to keep him in the cavalry camp.
He had already learned from Chu Yan's casual chat that this Han Xin was sent by the little princess.
Han Xin is not very old, but his abilities are already comparable to those of veterans. His future is limitless. I don’t know where the little princess found these talents from. Jingshui Pavilion is truly a magical place.
If he has the chance, he will definitely go and see it.
Han Xin stayed, and although Chu Yan took some care of him, he did not give him any special care.
Zhao Qingrui's requirements for Han Xin's arrangements were very simple. As long as he didn't die in battle, the rest would be left to Han Xin to develop on his own.
It was not difficult for him to ensure that Han Xin did not die.

In Xianyang, the first external talent selection examination of the Qin Dynasty finally began.
Ying Zheng took Zhao Qingrui to supervise the exam personally. Most of the examinees were men, but there were also a few women.
Zhao Qingrui followed Ying Zheng, and when they passed a corner in the north, both father and daughter were a little surprised.
It’s Wang Yuan. This kid still came to take the exam.
The two of them just took a look and left.
"Father, Wang Yuan is here to take the exam. I remember that the Wang family trained the two brothers to be military generals." Zhao Qingrui said helplessly.
"Let's see the results of the exam first. If he passes, we will give his results to Marquis Wucheng and let him make the decision." Ying Zheng also had a headache.
This kid is really itching for trouble. When he returns, he will definitely be whipped a few times by Wang Ben.
"This is the only way." Zhao Qingrui looked at Wang Yuan who was answering the questions seriously, and observed three seconds of silence for him.
The exam lasted for two days. Zhao Qingrui followed her father all day long to watch those taking the exam. Although she was just passing by, she saw the test papers of many people and had a general idea of how these people performed.
After the exam, these people were all depressed. The adjacent test papers were different, and the appearance of papers A and B made many people complain.
Of course, there are also those who think they have done well in the exam and have already started to consider which department to choose after entering the court.
Some people even feel confident that they can get into the top three, and how glorious it would be then.
Looking at these people, they are so similar to how they looked after the college entrance examination.
"Sorry to bother you guys to finish marking them as soon as possible." Zhao Qingrui placed the test papers in front of Li Si and the others.
When there are more officials in the future, a special education department must be set up. Everything is handed over to Li Si and Feng Quji. They are both old, but they are still over-exploited. Zhao Qingrui feels a little bit of a pang of conscience.
"Don't worry, Your Highness." Li Si said seriously. There were more than 3,000 people taking the exam this time. Manually marking so many test papers was indeed a huge workload.
Li Si said he would take on the responsibility and as long as His Majesty and the others still valued him, he would continue to fight for another hundred years!
Looking at Li Si who was full of fighting spirit, Zhao Qingrui felt a little guilty and exchanged the coffee refreshed by the system today. It was the Interstellar version, with no side effects. If you feel sleepy, have some and it will definitely keep you energetic for the whole day.
"Lord Li, Lord Feng, this is the coffee made by His Highness. Drinking it with water can refresh your mind. The coffee is placed here. You can use it as you see fit." Chunxi came over holding the coffee and said respectfully.
