The two men first hammered their chests and saluted. When they heard the question, they looked at each other, and then they laughed naively, "Reporting to the general, in the ninth year of Da Ye's reign, I went to conquer Liaodong, returned halfway, and went with the army to Henan to suppress the rebellion. Then I returned to my hometown and went to the west."
I arrived in Yanmen when I moved."
"I don't have much credit. I only defeated Li Shentong the year before last. Before we could use our swords and guns, the Tang army collapsed. This year, I defeated Pu Ban and followed General Zhao and made some achievements. I want to reward him again."
It’s time to look forward to the position of captain.”
Listening to these questions and answers, Zhang Shigui was confused for a moment, and then he came to his senses. Looking at the rough man who spoke, he knew from the accent that he was from Hebei.
He is in his early twenties, not yet thirty, and is still very young, but he has already traveled a lot in the past few years, including conquering Liaodong and quelling Yang Xuangan's rebellion. Because he arrived in Jin not long ago, he has not made any decent military achievements.
So now he is just a corps commander.
They are completely grassroots, but have very rich combat experience. There are not many people like this in Henan, but it is actually not uncommon.
Another man had a similar experience. After the two of them finished talking, Xu Shiji waved his hand, and the two men hit their chests and ran away as if they were granted amnesty.
I randomly ordered two, and they turned out to be surrendered by Youzhou, which obviously made Xu Shiji not very satisfied. Youzhou's powerful troops were well-known all over the world, but most of them were infantry, which did not show much in the land of Jin where cavalry ruled the roost.
But to be honest, the military qualifications of the soldiers from Youzhou are generally much higher than those from Jin. People from Hebei are close to Liaodong, and most of the soldiers there have experience in conquering Liaodong. This is something that people from Jin cannot compare with.
Of course, the people of Jin are definitely not willing to compare with the people of Hebei in this regard. That is not a good thing. Most of the soldiers from Hebei who fought in Liaodong have lost their wives and children, and their families have been destroyed. This is an indisputable fact.
Xu Shiji was still unsatisfied, because it was difficult to get a solid confirmation of what he said before. Of course, there was also a very subtle sense of pride at work, and he wanted to show off in front of Zhang Shigui.
It happened that a group of people, sweaty and dusty, passed by while leading their horses. They were obviously the Daizhou cavalry who had just gone through routine drills.
Xu Shiji stopped the team, ordered two more people to come out, they were also team leaders, and then waved his hand for the team to continue moving forward. However, the Daizhou cavalry was very proud. Some people were looking back frequently, and some were muttering something, which was probably not the case.
Thanks to his good words, the brigade commander of this group also stayed.
The momentum of these two teams is very different from the two just now. They are neither tall nor short, but their bodies are solid, as if made of iron. Their eyes are focused on them, and they are the ones who can stop children from crying at night.
kind.
Zhang Shigui remained silent. He understood what Xu Shiji meant, but he was gradually dissatisfied in his heart, because he felt... why do they need to come up with so many tricks? Even if these people have more military exploits, can they make him afraid of Zhang Shigui? Our family's
In the future, the achievements will definitely be made with one sword and one gun.
The two teams were beating their chests and saluting, and their brigade commander was wandering not far away, fearing that his subordinates would be treated unfairly. Of course, if it was a good thing, he might be able to get some credit, and he could also see something new.
, the army is getting bigger and bigger, and the people around the general... but if you take a second look, you might not see them again.
It can be seen that the two newly promoted leaders of the Han Palace are very well-known in the army. However, in the eyes of these Daizhou cavalry who have experienced hundreds of battles, these are probably two guys who have had bad luck.
If we really talk about military achievements, whether it is Zhao Shixun or Xu Shiji, most of them can be thrown out of Jinyang as far as Puban.
It was obvious that the two men were rewarded for their success in climbing the city. They were a typical example of Li Po's army rising to the top in one fell swoop. However, there were many people who could compete with them in military merit, so envy and jealousy followed.
In the eyes of many people, this is undoubtedly the result of the balance between the cavalry and infantry armies. Luo Shixin and Liu Jingsheng were both born in the cavalry army, so why did the King of Han not have an infantry general following him?
For Zhao Shixun, this was a well-deserved honor, because he had indeed been serving in the infantry army, and he was still from Jin Dynasty. Even if his service period was shorter, he was no different.
But Xu Shiji could only be considered a blessing. Henan Jiangren was regarded as one of his own and received great recognition. It can only be said that his cleverness under Puban City yielded unexpected results.
The two teams were not very respectful. After saluting, they stared at Xu Shiji as if they were about to start a fight. On the contrary, Xu Shiji's attitude was very good.
He smiled and asked, "I just want to ask, how many years have you been in the army, how many achievements have you made, and are there any mistakes in the examination?"
The younger man immediately felt that something good had happened to him, so he shouted loudly: "Report to the general, I joined the army in the thirteenth year of Daye. I went to the grassland for a trip and beheaded two ranks. Later, the army went to Youzhou. I
I was guarding Yunnei under the command of General Duan. When the Turks invaded, I beheaded two more people."
"Then, I went north to the grassland with the army. That time I killed six Turks. When I came back, the team was promoted, so I became the team leader. When Li Shentong was defeated, I served under General Li and was able to break the formation.
Due to his merits, he should have been promoted to brigade commander, but... when he led people to chase the enemy, he failed to listen to the military orders clearly and killed more people... and his military merit was lost."
At this point, this guy was a little angry, and then he said with a flattering smile: "General, can you please help me? It would be really messy. I really didn't hear the order not to kill the surrender. Besides, what about the big guy?"
Shi Ye couldn't stop killing, so that's why he failed..."
Xu Shiji didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He waved his hand to shut up, and then asked the man next to him, "What about you?"
This man looked a bit scary. There was a scar on his face from the left corner of his forehead to the left side of his chin. It was like there was an extra centipede on the left side of his face. His eyes were cold and unruly.
Obviously he didn't like to be questioned on the spot, but he only hesitated slightly and said: "The last general Zhou Feng has made many military achievements, but he can't remember it clearly. If the general is fine, the last general will retire now.
"
Zhang Shigui listened next to him, and he finally felt happy. He told you to play, and you would be stunned, right?
But at this moment, he was actually secretly frightened. The first two were undoubtedly old soldiers. Just look at their experience. If there were such people in the original rebel army, he would definitely have gone out of his way to win over them.
Let him be just a team leader until now.
And this young captain is even more outrageous. He used the heads of Turks as military honors. He is obviously the elite of the cavalry. This is what the brave men in the army are often called, right? How can he be demoted just because he killed a few people?
Does being a prisoner equal the merit and demerit?
From this point of view, the battle between the King of Han and the Turks in the north was very fierce...
Over there, Xu Shiji knew that something was wrong. Being called a "junior general" in the army of Jin where the military regulations were getting stricter and stricter also meant that this person was once a school captain at the very least. Damn, he was a school captain in the Daizhou Cavalry Army...
Which one is easy to mess with?
Even though the cavalry army is getting bigger and bigger these days, as long as they can hold the position of captain, they all deserve the title, and their military achievements are even more brilliant.
Of course, Xu Shiji was not a kind person. It was one thing not to offend the old man Daizhou, but if he really offended him, he would be offended.
I saw his eyes widen, and immediately there was some ghostly aura coming out, "Say."
The man's lips drooped, and he looked at each other with no fear, but he still said: "I am from Mayi. I have been in the army for five years in Daye. I was just a team leader at the beginning..."
When he said this, he smiled to himself, obviously thinking that he had been in the army for many years and now he was still a captain, which was indeed a bit embarrassing.
"In the autumn of the seventh year of Daye, I followed the general to conquer Liaodong, and almost saw the city of Pyongyang... When I came back, it was the twelfth lunar month of the eighth year of Daye. We have made countless achievements, but no one came to remember our military achievements with us. It is not easy for the general to see us.
The reward was increased a bit, and I became the brigade commander at that time."
"Later, when I was recruited into the army, I became a battalion lieutenant. In the eleventh year of the Great Cause, the Turks went south. Our generals first defeated 20,000 enemies at the foot of Yunnei City. After the war, we learned from the prisoners that the Turks were strong men.
Jisi was killed by us."
"After that, the general led us out of the city and killed the Turks in the ice and snow while they were returning from the north. Hehe, the military achievements of that time cannot be recorded. According to the Sui army's method of rewarding merits, thousands of us were each
I can get a general to do it."
"Later on, there were countless battles, big and small, and I also became a captain. I went to the grassland three times, and every time I didn't come back with a full load? The general told everyone at that time that if you want to be promoted, it will probably not depend on your military merit.
It’s about how you can do it.”
"We are quite contented. For people who don't know a few Chinese characters, if we really want to be promoted to an official position, we don't know how to become that official."
"Later, when I stayed in Jinyang, I drank too much and got into a fight with others in the street. I injured more than ten people. A Turkic bastard couldn't help but beat me and was beaten to death. The military justice department wanted to chop off my head and put the Lord in charge.
For all my merits, my official position was taken away, and I became a pawn again. I was recently promoted to captain."
Having said this, he stared at Xu Shiji slyly and said, "Actually, it's not difficult to be promoted back to the rank of captain. There's still war to be fought, don't you think so, General?"
Xu Shiji felt as if he had eaten a fly. The most difficult group of people to offend in the Jin army were those who had followed the King of Han to Liaodong and managed to survive.
I was just being casual, so how could I be so unlucky and find trouble?
But he was a man with a very quick mind and a thick skin. He immediately raised his hands and said with a smile: "I have the king's military orders with me. General Zhou, please don't blame me for being troublesome."
Captain Zhou, who was also suffering from bad luck but had only slightly dissipated, turned pale when he heard the word "King". He beat his chest and said: "There is a military order, but I have nothing to say. Hey, I'd like to bother you, General."
Let me tell you, Zhou Erlang still wants to be a returning captain, otherwise he would be embarrassed to talk to the old brothers when he meets them."
