Chapter 167: Taking office
Nima, what does it mean that my family is stable, and I can guard the territory with peace of mind? At this moment, I felt that I had fallen into a pit, and this pit was dug for me by this upright Xu Lichuan.
However, after thinking about it, if Lu Xichuan, the general of Zhenxi, helped me find Chen Bing, the success rate would be greatly increased. If you think about it this way, it seems like a good thing to be a forward general.
At this moment, a soldier walked in from outside the door, and after taking out the two thousand bounty, he also gave me a new identity tag, which was made of sterling silver, and was delicately carved with ornaments, on which was written the Vanguard General. Immediately after, the soldier took my Ranger ID badge away, because one person is not allowed to have two identities at the same time.
Seriously, I was a little depressed when the Ranger card was taken away, and in this case, I would no longer be able to go to the Adept Guild and accept quests to make money.
"Hehe, my brother seems to be a little unhappy, the identity of a ranger, what's there? Even if you receive some tasks, how much money can you make, you become a forward general, and you have a lot of money every month. "When the soldier left, went to the Alien Guild for me, and changed his identity, Xu Lichuan smiled and spoke to me.
Speaking of this, Xu Lichuan said even more admiringly: "Before, the general, said that you are a demon and martial arts double cultivator, I still don't believe it, I saw your ranger identity card just now, but I didn't expect it to be true." Haha, I didn't expect my sworn brother to be a wizard, and today is really a good day. ”
Immediately after, Xu Wangchuan gave me all the 2,000 gold rewarded by the general, saying that I had a great credit for being able to safely escort the little boy back this time.
And I, you're welcome, just took it all, after all, I really need gold now.
Next, I continued to chat with Xu Lichuan, and from Xu Lichuan's mouth, I also learned a lot about the situation in the Qingbing Kingdom, as well as the relationship with the empire and the Nanyun Kingdom.
This is a three-legged situation, although it is a three-legged situation, but Nanyun Country has always maintained a neutral state, and the empire is vast, but the environment of a large area is harsh, and it has been peeking into the fertile and prosperous country of Qingbing Country, so the empire and Qingbing Country have always been at war.
Ningzhou, which is located at the junction of the two countries, is an area where the two countries are often at war, and the garrison of Ningzhou City not only has to resist the nuisance of the imperial army, but also suffers from the Ningzhou generation, many bandit gangs.
Because the terrain of Ningzhou is relatively complex, most of them are mountains and hills, and the environment is harsh, so in the mountains outside Ningzhou City, there are nearly ten groups of bandits, and the strength of these bandits. The size varies, the small ones have dozens of people, because the number is small, they use the strategy of guerrilla warfare to rob the people, and at the same time evade the capture of the government, and the big forces, there are hundreds of people, and they have fixed walls, but those walled cities are built in the precipitous areas that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the strongest is the Black Wind Village.
Speaking of this, Xu Lichuan's expression revealed a trace of resentment: "This Black Wind Village, it is rumored that it is a spy sent by the empire, it is formed, the big leader is called Black Eagle, the strength is in the late stage of the war immortal, this person is very cunning, in the past two years, the general has launched more than a dozen encirclement and suppression, killing nearly 100 people in Black Wind Village, but he still failed to annihilate them in one fell swoop." This time, Heifeng Village dared to rob the general's youngest son, and the general would definitely not do so, and I believe that soon, the general will launch a large-scale encirclement and suppression again. ”
, when I heard this at this moment, I was stunned for a moment, because I didn't expect that the situation in Ningzhou City would be so complicated. The soldiers of Ningzhou not only have to resist the invasion of the empire, but also deal with bandits, and this black wind village is actually sent by the empire, which is really too insidious for Nima.
"As the general of the pioneer battalion, I estimate that the next encirclement and suppression operation will take the lead for my brother." At this moment, Xu Wangchuan smiled bitterly and said to me: "But before that, I will definitely arrange your appointment properly." ”
"Brother Xu, do you have to go to the encirclement and suppression? Can I go with me then? At this moment, I didn't think much about it, so I asked directly.
"You are the general of the trapped camp, the trapped camp is not a charging army, it belongs to the defensive and defensive type, of course you can't go to the encirclement and suppression, but don't worry, your eldest brother and I are blessed with a great life, and it will definitely be fine." Xu Lichuan said.
I was stunned, a little confused at the moment.
"The soldiers in the barracks are divided into many kinds, but they are roughly divided into two kinds, it is the forward troops who are responsible for charging into battle, and it is the defensive troops who support the rear defense, and the trapping camp is the latter, you don't underestimate the trapping camp, at a critical time, the trapping camp must arrange troops to cover the attack and retreat of the assault troops, and the responsibility should not be underestimated." Seeing that I didn't understand, Xu Lichuan explained.
I nodded, and now I understood something.
Then we talked for a while, and then we fell asleep.
Early the next morning, a soldier sent the general's armor, and Xu Lichuan and I, after putting on the armor, went to the military camp outside Ningzhou together, and I, wearing a suit of armor, although a little awkward, but I felt that I was also majestic, and my heart was extremely happy.
When I arrived at the barracks, Xu Lichuan took me to the garrison of the trapped camp, and when I was about to enter at the door, Xu Lichuan's expression suddenly became solemn, and he said to me: "Brother, the trapped camp and the forward battalion are the most elite troops under the general, and the last general who fell into the camp died on the battlefield not long ago, so your appearance is very timely, otherwise the general will not directly grant you the title of general of the trapped camp, but the soldiers of the trapped camp are relatively arrogant, and only obey the strong, you must be mentally prepared." ”
"What does Brother Xu mean is to let me find an opportunity to stand up in the trapping camp?" I thought for a moment and spoke.
"Hehe, brother is really smart, he understands a little, but don't go too far, otherwise it's easy to offend people." Xu Lichuan smiled, patted me on the shoulder, and walked in first, and I, too, took a deep breath and followed.
When I arrived at the trapping camp and saw the surrounding scene, especially the place where I looked, I was shocked by the atmosphere of a disciplined army, and my heart was touched again.
Perhaps, joining the Zhenxi Army is also a kind of experience for my ability cultivation, at this moment, I thought so in my heart.
However, I noticed that when I entered the general's tent, many soldiers looked at me in amazement, as if they did not believe that the new general could be so young.
"General Xu." Entering the camp tent, there was an adjutant sitting inside, the adjutant was the general's deputy, managing some trivial matters in the barracks, and when he saw us coming in, the adjutant greeted Xu Lichuan politely.
"Well, Jiang Wei, this is the newly appointed general of your trapped camp, the matter of falling into the camp, you have to report to your general in detail, do you know?" Xu Lichuan nodded and introduced me to the adjutant.
"Subordinate Jiang Wei, see General Tang." Jiang Wei hurriedly turned around and gave me a military salute, but at this moment, I obviously felt that this Jiang Wei did not have the slightest respect for me in his heart.
Nima, it seems that Xu Lichuan is right, the soldiers in this camp don't seem to be very convinced by me, a new general, it seems that they really want to find an opportunity to establish my prestige.
"Okay, Tang Hu, let Jiang Wei tell you about all the matters of the trapped camp, I have to go back and report to the general, I'm leaving." At this moment, Xu Lichuan smiled at me and strode out of the tent.
"General Xu walks slowly." In the barracks, I can't call my eldest brother at will, send Xu Lichuan away, I took the position of a general, and said to Jiang Wei: "Jiang Wei, now tell me about the situation in the camp." ”
"Huh." Jiang Wei smiled, his expression was very calm: "General, you have just taken office, and there are a lot of things you need to know, so this matter is not in a hurry, now the soldiers are all practicing, so the subordinates suggested, general, you should sit in the camp tent and take a look at some more art of war." ”
Nima, before this even started, she hit me with a soft nail.
"Smack!" At this moment, my face suddenly turned cold, and in the next second, I slapped it on the table, and my body also stood up, staring at Jiang Weiwei coldly and shouting: "Bastard, as a general of the trapped camp, I am a newcomer, of course, I want to understand the situation of the trapped camp, and you let me sit here and read the military book?" Tell me, are you trying to deceive me, or are you trying to elevate me? ”
