Chapter 216 Scout (211000222 Children's Shoes, please come and get your character Ji Xin)
Ji Xin is the scout captain in Xiang Yu's army. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, his identity as a captain is somewhat special.
Because he is not under the jurisdiction of the chief, the average captain is three points shorter in front of him, and he is directly under the jurisdiction of the commander.
In fact, most of the rebel army at this time was very chaotic, according to the Qin law at this time, the army was infantry every 5 people organized into "Wu", commanded by the commander; The five "Wu" are numbered as "two" and are commanded by the "two Sima"; The 4 "two" are numbered as "pawns" and are commanded by the "pawn chief"; The five "pawns" were organized into "brigades" and were commanded by the "brigade commanders"; 5 "brigades" were organized into "divisions" and commanded by "division commanders"; The five "divisions" were organized into "armies" and were commanded by "generals". But at this time, the official ranks of the rebel generals were all self-appointed, and many people who didn't know the military system were the officials, and even the officials sounded majestic, but their group of peasant soldiers who had just put down their heads and picked up arms probably did not know the systematic military system, and the number of troops under their hands was also seriously insufficient, and the military systems left over from the various vassal states were also different, which directly led to the chaos of the military system into a pot of porridge.
The Xiang family is relatively regular, according to the local corps system recruited in the Qin period, with 5 people as a team, commanded by the commander, two troops for a tithe, commanded by the chief, five or ten tithes for a team, commanded by the captain, five teams for a tun, commanded by the tun chief. However, the tunshang was originally a song of 1,000 people, and it was combined into a department according to the size of the region and the number of troops, so this is how the word "trilogy" came from. But in the Xiang family, the five tuns form a division, which is led by the division commander, but on top is a general, that is, a general, Xiang Yu Xiangzhuang and the former Xiang Liang are both in this position. Generals are not at the same level, they are divided into upper, middle and lower levels, and the generals have a certain degree of hostage power over other generals, and may even have command power. As for calling Xiang Yu a young general, it does not mean that his father is a general, but that he himself is young, which means that he is young and promising (I made up this sentence). In addition, officers of each rank can use about 10% of the establishment of additional personnel as entourage personal soldiers, who serve as special field services such as guards and communications, which are called short soldiers. So the idiom hand-to-hand is used to describe the fact that the war has reached a fever pitch.
And Ji Xin is such a short soldier.
The division commander he is loyal to is one of the four division commanders under Xiang Yu, Ji Bu. They all have the surname Ji, so it is easy for others to guess the relationship between him and Ji Shishuai. That's right, Ji Xin is Ji Bu's clan and one of Ji Bu's most loyal henchmen.
But Ji Xin didn't rely on nepotism to make the captain polite and give three points, in fact, many times most people ignore his "backer" because his own ability is hard enough.
Therefore, it is very natural for such a person to be known by Xiang Yu and entrusted with important tasks.
The mountains and forests in spring are not easy to walk, the rain soaks the land wet, and when you step on it, you will have a foot of mud, and there are some evergreen trees that fall dead leaves in spring, and the smell released when moistening the land is really bad.
But such an environment did not stumble Ji Xin's footsteps, he walked on the ground in the mountains and forests but landed silently.
But not everyone has such a skill, and in the midst of the whirring panting, a scout's loud complaint could not be hidden: "Chief, why do you think we are coming to this barren mountain and old forest where birds don't?" ”
"Be quiet!" Although Ji Xin reprimanded in a low voice, the group of people were obviously not afraid, and they laughed and coaxed to ask what was going on.
Ji Xin couldn't help them, and finally relented: "Have you ever heard of that ghost army?" ”
The tall man who spoke at the beginning immediately lit up his eyes: "The elusive but invincible one?" Don't they all say that it is a return of the Yin soldier to the Yang? ”
"Phew!" Ji Xin scolded with a smile, "What are you pretending, when Master Ji led people to track down the whereabouts of that ghost army, you followed, we were the first scouts to go to the battlefield, what happened to you blind at that time?" Will the Yin Soldiers still bleed? ”
"And what do you think they're guys?" Gao Zhuang scout was not annoyed when he was scolded, and asked bably.
"The general is looking for it, probably composed of mountain people in the mountains, so in the mountains, it is like wild monkeys scattering joy, who can catch it?" Ji Xin said.
"Yo, that guy, we're here to raid their lair?" are all scouts, carefulness is a necessary condition, and tall and strong men are naturally not as rough and brainless as they appear to be.
"Hey, then I don't know! But the news from the commander there, this is the last place they appeared last time! ”
As soon as these words come out, who else can't understand? Eight wolf-like eyes lit up in the five-person team. If the army wants to be promoted, there is only one way to earn military merits, and they are scouts, although it is harder and more dangerous, but if they find useful news, then the military merits will rise faster than killing the enemy on the battlefield!
The eyes were red, but they were a little more careful under their feet. Ghost army, what a big name! There are no vain soldiers under the fame, they have to face not the weak, and they have to go back to enjoy military merits. Scouts are promoted quickly, but why are there so few scouts promoted? It's because scouts are prone to death! They don't want to die yet, so of course be careful.
"This time Lao Tzu is going to be promoted! Promoted, let's see how Lao Tzu cleans up those little rabbit cubs! The tall man muttered, "Lao Tzu's military exploits are all made by real fighting, but they are not comparable to those who can only gather to make trouble and say cool things, and they don't have the slightest ability to hug their thighs!" ”
"Okay, you." Ji Xin laughed and scolded in a low voice, "If you don't do any work, do you have to fight with those soft eggs to show that you can stand it?" ”
"Hey, boss, I'm not the one to stir up trouble, it's the bunch of cubs who provoked first! Wu Xinjun is gone, could it be that my Xiang family army is easy to bully? Can anyone step on it? The tall man looked excited, his voice was still lowered, and his hands were still careful, and even the traces left under his feet were not obvious. Even the birds didn't startle much!
Ji Xin paid attention to the traces under his feet, but what he thought in his heart was not like this. He is Ji Bu's clan brother and one of the most trusted short soldiers around Ji Shishuai, so he knows much more than ordinary short soldiers should know. Judging from what it sounded like a few words to Ji Shishuai, it was easy for him to guess that what they were checking here was not the garrison of the ghost army at all! What they were looking for was actually a village in the mountains, and most importantly, they wanted to catch a woman in the village, a woman who was said to be very beautiful.
The Xiang family is now suffering from internal and external troubles, but Xiang Yu has spent so much effort to find a beauty with great fanfare, which is really ridiculous! If it weren't for Xiang Yu's high prestige in the army, he wouldn't have done his best so hard, and he would have been perfunctory a long time ago!
