Including these two sergeants, a total of twenty-three sergeants came out of the surrounding dense forest and appeared around Lin Yi. However, Lin Yi heard the breathing of three more people, each dozens of steps apart, hiding in this place.
Valley edge.
Except for one of them who was slightly older and looked nearly forty years old, the rest of the sergeants all looked to be in their thirties.
These sergeants have the same temperament as the northern frontier soldiers Lin Yi was familiar with when he was a child. They all look calm and worldly, and they all have a rebellious air about them.
"Are you Lin Yi, the son of General Lin Wangbei?"
The oldest sergeant saluted Lin Yi and looked at Lin Yi with some emotion in his eyes.
Lin Yi was a little surprised. It had been a long time since he heard anyone address his father with the three words "General Lin", but he didn't want anyone to be guilty of words, so when he bowed in return, he said softly: "My father can no longer say
You are a general, and you need to be careful about what happened to the previous dynasty."
"Be careful what you say."
The sergeant smiled disdainfully and spat out a grass root he was chewing in his mouth. "This is not Jiankang. Even if it reaches the ears of the general above, how can we be punished for this? We don't want to fight."
Is there a shortage of people in our Tiece Army? Doesn’t he have to find a way to make up for it?”
"This is Xue Jiu, our leader."
One of the first two sergeants also smiled at Lin Yi and said: "The rules in Jiankang City are the rules of the nobles, and they will not work in the frontier army. How brave General Lin led his army before.
If we had been transferred to the north back then, we would have been his subordinates."
"How bad can it be?" Xue Jiu pinched his chin and said: "Who are our Tiece Army? Except for a few unlucky ones who are too brave in fighting and not good at dealing with people, they directly
Those who were transferred outside of here were either convicted persons who had made amends for their faults, or they had offended the generals above, or they themselves were exiles from the Northern Wei Dynasty, otherwise who could join the Tiece Army if they had the means?"
"Are there people from the Northern Wei Dynasty who came from exile?" Lin Yi was stunned. It was true that the Tie Ce Army was a thankless army in everyone's eyes, but he had not heard of this before.
"There are so many. Do you think there won't be fights in the Northern Wei Dynasty? Those people in the Northern Wei Dynasty fought much better than us, and they are different from us in the Southern Dynasties. The powerful people in our Southern Dynasties at least pay attention to face, and they are also afraid of doing too much to offend the emperor.
However, many kings of the Northern Wei Dynasty were from different tribes, and they were not merciless in killing people from previously hostile tribes in their territories. Previously, the Zhenwu Army in Pingwu County recruited more than 20,000 people who fled at one time.
All the refugees in the Northern Wei Dynasty cannot survive in the Northern Wei Dynasty." Xue Jiu smiled contemptuously, "The generals in Pingwu County are also very good. With so many people opening their mouths to eat, the food alone is not enough, let alone mixed in.
As a spy, it turned out that they were properly arranged. All the strong men among them were dispersed to various armies overnight. Basically, ten of our Southern Dynasty sergeants were responsible for guarding each one. If there was a particularly dangerous situation on the battlefield, he would be assigned to it. As for the women and children,
They all set aside a piece of wasteland for them to cultivate. Aren't those people still on the edge of Liren City in Pingwu County?"
"He Baichen came from the Northern Wei Dynasty, but not from that group." Several people pushed one of the sergeants.
The sergeant smiled shyly at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi looked at him, but couldn't tell any difference from the people here in Nanchao.
"He was also an unlucky guy. His father helped Tuoba Xiong raise horses. He accidentally mixed poisonous weeds into the fodder and raised one to death. As a result, the whole family was executed, and only he escaped." Xue Jiu looked at the sergeant.
, shook his head, "Despite his young age, he is already a veteran in Tiece. He has been in his twelfth year, one year longer than I have in Tiece."
"That's really a long time." Lin Yi looked at the sergeant named He Baichen and was indeed a little surprised.
"The Tie Ce Army is not good at anything, but one thing is better than other armies. The military salary is 20% higher. He Baichen has saved a lot of money. In two years, he will be able to buy a house and land in Ningzhou Dacheng and marry two more.
I’m a housewife." A sergeant joked.
He Baichen's face turned slightly red, but he did not refute.
"Mr. Lin, how did you find us before? Could it be that you happened to be nearby and we were bumped into when we came in?" The two sergeants who were the first to come in couldn't figure it out, and one of them couldn't help but ask.
"I am a cultivator and can hear your breathing." Lin Yi saw that although these soldiers were unruly, they were not difficult to contact and did not hide anything, and said: "Even now, I can still hear that you are still breathing."
Three are on guard outside."
All the sergeants looked shocked.
"Dare to ask." Xue Jiu hesitated for a moment and looked at Lin Yi, "Have you entered the palace of fate and your perception is so amazing?"
"It should be considered so." Lin Yi hesitated slightly, thinking that it should be considered so, and nodded.
"No wonder you are here." Xue Jiu did not hesitate and said: "When we came here before, we had no hope. We didn't think you would get here alive or be able to get here on time."
"I saw the battle between the semi-saints last night." Lin Yi didn't shy away from it and said, "I also doubt whether I can see you here."
"What are you carrying?"
At this time, Xue Jiu's eyes were attracted by the deerskin bag Lin Yi was carrying.
"A relatively unique marching ration, mixed with some medicines that replenish the spiritual energy of heaven and earth." Lin Yi felt that it would be easier for these people to say this, "It has to do with spiritual practice."
"Have you been carrying it on your back while marching here?" Several sergeants patted the deerskin bag on Lin Yi's back, feeling its heavy weight, and their expressions suddenly changed.
"By the way, there is important military information."
Lin Yi realized the important point, and immediately looked solemn, looking at Xue Jiudao: "Last night, I passed by the place where two semi-saints were fighting. A spiritual mind practitioner named Li Qingming was attacked by a practitioner from the Northern Wei Dynasty and then killed.
Death. But I heard the Northern Wei cultivator muttering to himself, and I listened to what he meant, fearing that there was something in the Northern Wei Dynasty that could sense the existence of the surrounding cultivators."
Lin Yi repeated a few words that the Northern Wei cultivator said at that time, then looked at Xue Jiu and asked: "How do you think this military situation should be handled?"
"How do I handle this?"
Xue Jiu looked at Lin Yi with a strange expression, "I should ask you how to deal with this matter."
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand what Xue Jiu meant.
"Don't you know?" Xue Jiu noticed Lin Yi's confusion, and he immediately frowned, "Master Lin, you are the commander of our iron strategy army."
"I am your commander?" Lin Yi was stunned.
"You are a student of Nantianyuan. When you come out, you will be the captain of the school. You will be ranked in the first class. When you go out, you can command a hundred people in the Tiece Army. I am just a small team in the Tiece Army. I can control thirty people. In terms of official rank, I am better than you, sir.
Much smaller." Xue Jiu looked at Lin Yi mockingly and said, "The military order we received is to rush here to meet your lord, and then we will be under your command."
"I don't even know what I'm going to do here." Lin Yi was helpless. He felt that this was not Yan Sixuan's problem, because his situation was extremely special. Among so many Nantianyuan students, he should be the only one who was enrolled in the iron policy.
military.
A group of Tiece sergeants looked at Lin Yi helplessly.
The look in their eyes speaks for itself.
The responsibilities of ordinary sergeants and generals are naturally different.
If the execution of military orders fails, the sergeant below and the general above will take care of him, but as the top general of this team, whatever happens is entirely his responsibility.
"It seems that Sir, you are very annoying in Jiankang, and the people you offend are of high status." Xue Jiu said in a relaxed tone, but his heart was very heavy.
If Lin Yi was a victim of the intentions of some powerful people, then of course they, the Iron Ce sergeants, were also unlucky incidental victims, with a worrying future.
