After Huo Yunying thought about it for a while, he found Marshal Peng again.

This time he learned wisely and did not tell Marshal Peng that he would take away all his men.

Those seven hundred people were all left to Marshal Peng for his own use, and he only took thirty people with him.

This time, Marshal Peng did not stop him anymore. He praised Huo Yunying's enterprising spirit and let him choose from among the seven hundred people. He also graciously allowed him to pick some excellent equipment to take away.

After all, you only have thirty people with you. Even if these people all take away sophisticated armor and equipment, and each person takes away a horse, how much can they bring?

Compared to the 700 people who stayed, this was already a considerable concession.

Soon, the team of 700 people that Huo Yunying had worked so hard to pull together stood neatly on the school field, waiting for Huo Yunying's selection.

The corps commander, the chief, and everyone in charge of other matters including logistics and other matters in the military were all placed in front of Huo Yunying.

"You, you, and you..."

In fact, Huo Yunying didn't know much about these people.

After all, when fighting begins, he is always the first to charge, and the people who make the impression are often those who charge with him.

Huo Yunying felt that since these people could achieve military exploits and achieve high or even higher positions in the rebel army, they must have certain talents, and at least among these 700 people, they should be considered elites.

There were also people with anxious looks on their faces, and they kept winking at Huo Yunying, gesturing for him to take them away.

Obviously, Marshal Peng was watching from the side, and it was impossible for these people to really jump out and hug Huo Yunying's thigh and ask him to take them away. Otherwise, what if Marshal Peng didn't leave and was remembered by Marshal Peng in the future?

Moreover, among the seven hundred people, there are so many people shouting together, how can it be inappropriate?

So these people could only wink at Huo Yunying, hoping to take them away.

But the problem is, there must be far more than thirty people winking.

Huo Yunying also felt like her head was as big as a bucket. When she actually chose, she felt that she was suffering from difficulty in choosing.

But fortunately, after a while of struggle, thirty elites were selected.

"Peng Shuai, it's decided, these are the people." Huo Yunying said.

Marshal Peng was very happy: "Okay, then I wish you success in advance! You can come back and visit at any time in the future. Chuzhou City is your forever home!"

Although he said this, Huo Yunying knew in his heart that he would never come back again.

Then, Huo Yunying saw the camera gradually zooming up.

In the field of vision, the young Sheng Taizu left Chuzhou City with these thirty elites and headed towards the unknown distance.

Huo Yunying couldn't help but look happy: "Hey, could it be said that I am the first of the four identities to pass the level?"

What I see in front of me is obviously a CG cutscene that appears after the plot has come to an end.

In previous trial copies, this often meant clearing the level.

But soon, Huo Yunying realized that he was wrong.

Because in his field of vision, a system prompt that he had never seen before appeared.

[Failed to pass the level as "Rebel"!]

There is only such a simple line and no other explanation.

Huo Yunying was stunned.

"Failed?

"Why did it fail...Obviously Sheng Taizu successfully escaped from Marshal Peng's control and led his own team to conquer the world...

"Moreover, you didn't encounter the Northern Barbarian army?"

There is no further explanation from the system. Obviously, it is up to the players to think about why it failed.

Huo Yunying did not start over immediately, but fell into deep thought.

“Why is it directly judged to be a failure?

"Well... we should first think about where we are lacking.

"Military failure? It shouldn't be the case. I didn't encounter the Northern Barbarian army. I didn't die or suffer heavy losses like last time. Moreover, I also successfully broke away from the rebel army and went out on my own.

"Judging from the automatic triggering of the cutscene when leaving Chuzhou City, there should be no problem with this step.

"But the system directly determined that I failed...could it be..."

After some analysis, Huo Yunying had a guess in his mind.

But he did not put this speculation into practice immediately. Instead, he temporarily left the game and returned to reality.

I looked at the time and saw that it was only after two o'clock in the evening, so there was still plenty of time.

However, considering that the flow of time in reality seems to be much faster than in the game, Huo Yunying did not dare to neglect and quickly turned on the computer to search for relevant information.

Soon, he found the result he wanted.

"it's here!

"After a period of development, Sheng Taizu successfully recruited a team of 700 people, most of whom were people from his hometown.

"This is a good and effective force, so in Chuzhou City, Marshal Peng was very happy and promoted Taizu Sheng to the position of governor.

"But not long after, Sheng Taizu left Chuzhou City with twenty-four people and headed south to Dingyuan...

"And these people are called the 'Twenty-Four Generals of the Two Huaihe Rivers'. Among them is the founding general Gu Yuan, and most of them will later become the pillars of the entire Dasheng Dynasty. Almost all of them are

Many of them were granted titles and became generals, and later became high-ranking officials in the Dasheng Dynasty..."

After checking the information, Huo Yunying understood what his problem was.

"There is a problem with the selection process..."

Comparing the two, Huo Yunying realized that she failed in this last step.

Under the circumstances at that time, Sheng Taizu really had no more choices.

If you stay, sooner or later there will be internal strife within the rebel army. Even if there is no internal strife, it is very likely that the Northern Barbarians will attack you. If you develop under Marshal Peng, your hands will be tied after all.

Therefore, if Huo Yunying only knew how to fight, then after reaching a certain level, the Northern Barbarian general Dong Chengyun would besiege Chuzhou City, and this would be an impossible battle to win.

Even if it was not Dong Chengyun but other Northern Barbarian generals who came, even if he led people to escape from Chuzhou City, the game would still be a failure.

Because this means that players have failed to properly analyze the current situation within the rebel army, and there will be no good results if it continues to develop.

If you want to leave, it is absolutely impossible to take away your subordinates, you can only take away a small part.

But of course there are particularities to who should be taken away.

Because these people taken away are not only the team that will conquer the world in the future, but also reflect Sheng Taizu's ability to recognize people.

Huo Yunying couldn't help but think of a question he had seen online before.

"For emperors like Sheng Taizu who came from a lower class, their famous ministers and generals were often a small group of people in a small area near their hometown. Why did famous ministers and generals appear together in that place?"

The answer to this question is very simple. It is actually just two words: "platform".

What kind of things can be done on any platform.

If a person is just an ordinary civilian who spends his life farming and herding cattle, he will not become a general when he is seventy or eighty years old.

And if a person has been fighting since he was a teenager, has more and more resources in his hands, and the opponents he fights are getting stronger and stronger, then as long as he has a certain amount of talent, he can always become a good general.

Many times, there are smart people in various small places, and the level of smartness of these smart people is actually about the same.

What really makes them widen the gap is their platform and resources.

The founding emperor was this platform.

On this platform, these famous ministers and generals encounter enemies that are difficult to defeat and problems that are difficult to solve. They may fail, but a large amount of resources can give them a guarantee and allow them to keep trying.

What's more, they can learn from each other and help each other.

Therefore, they will achieve higher achievements than others in the end.

Of course, the premise of saying this is that they are all capable and have good talents.

If there are people without talent, no matter how big the platform is, it is meaningless.

Therefore, another important factor is that the founder of the country has a good understanding of people and can know the talents and potential of these people, put them in the most suitable positions, and select the most capable talents for his own use.

And the key to playing the role of "rebel" lies in this.

As a rebel, Huo Yunying did not encounter very difficult battles. The Northern Barbarian army he encountered in the early stage was not difficult to defeat, and in an environment where all the heroes in the world were together, it was not difficult to recruit an army of several hundred people.

Other rebels at the same time were basically able to do this.

So, what makes Sheng Taizu fundamentally different from other rebels?

There are three points: the ability to judge clearly the general trend of the world, the decisiveness to make the right choice, and the ability to recognize people when selecting talents.

Without these three points, even if Sheng Taizu could fight, he would still be just a warlord in the troubled times of separatism, and would only fall into failure in the end; but with these three points, Sheng Taizu could stand out from countless rebels and create a new dynasty

.

The role of "Rebel" is a test of the player's abilities in these three aspects.

After figuring this out, Huo Yunying finally understood why he had not seen anyone named "Gu Yuan" after playing the role for so long.
