Chapter 2 Unexpected Promotions

Uncle Su brought the crockpot over and put it in front of Liu Fan, and stuffed two chopsticks made of shrubs into Liu Fan's hands, and said, "Don't be sad, it's not a big deal, the world's major events, the biggest belly, everything is full, let's talk about it." ”

Liu Fan ate and drank slowly, and looked at his own shadow reflected in the soup very casually on the crockpot, although it was blurry, but Liu Fan still saw the face reflected in the soup clearly, and suddenly became stunned again, isn't this face the same as his own face a few years ago, it seems to be exactly the same as the face he had when he first went to college, just as young, alas, it's not right, the face shape is exactly the same, but this face is red in the dark, and it was white and clean in college, what's going on, Liu Fan is even more confused.

Since you have forgotten everything, then I will tell you again and again, and I will tell you the most important thing first, "It is now the fifth year of the Great Qi Dynasty, and since the founding of the country, the Great Qi and the Khitan Kingdom in the north have been fighting for many years. Dong Zi, you, and I are all the people of Chengnanzhuang County, Didao County, Jincheng Prefecture, a soldier of the Jincheng A Brigade, and have been in Ganzhou Wubian for many years, Dong Zi is your cousin, your parents died when you were a child, and you were raised by your uncle and aunt, because the imperial court recruitment system stipulates that each household must have one person in the army, and there is no limit to the number of people, your uncle is old, your family will be in the army by you and your cousin, and I and your uncle are best friends, because there is no child under the knee, I can only serve in the military by myself. ”

Your uncle sent you and your brother to the front at once, and before leaving, he told me carefully, "I must be sure that something will happen to you two." ”

"You have liked to dance knives and guns since you were a child, and you are also brave in battle, no, in a few years, you have been promoted to the deputy lieutenant of Xuanjie, and the deputy of the battalion of the Jincheng A Brigade Yin. Early this morning, we were in Ganzhou with a short army of the Khitan tribe, the Khitan soldiers were defeated and retreated, you led a team of cavalry to chase all the way to the northern foot of the Qilian, killed its commander, and after returning to designate that he would be promoted again. ”

After listening to Uncle Su's introduction, he suddenly remembered the ghost theory instilled by his father since he was a child, and believed that he not only traveled through the time tunnel with that light, but also took advantage of the fact that the owner of this body and the commander of the thousand were invited by Lord Yama to return the soul by borrowing the corpse.

But what's even more strange is that this person not only has the same name and surname as himself, but also looks exactly the same, the only difference is that this person seems to be six or seven years younger than before he crossed over.

Everything changed too fast, Liu Fan could hardly bear this sudden huge change at this time, and at this time he subconsciously touched his body, only to find that this figure also had long arms and legs, and the muscles all over his body were bulging, which was similar to before the crossing.

Thinking about it like numbness, I thought of what Uncle Su said about the Great Qi Zhi and the fifth year, guessing what dynasty this was, which had never appeared in my historical knowledge, and then thinking about what to do with the relatives who stayed in a different time and space.

In the middle of his thoughts, his left hand inadvertently touched a hard thing on his chest, took it out and looked at it, and saw that it was a piece of black jade with a strange shape, the size of a small half palm, with exquisite workmanship, and the overall shape looked like a vivid puppy, but the tail was too short, and it looked like a rabbit's tail.

I only heard Dong Zi chewing chicken in his mouth and said vaguely: "Brother, eat quickly, there's nothing to see, you have been wearing this stone for as long as I can remember, I robbed it a few times, and my mother also beat my hands painfully." ”

Uncle Su saw Liu Fan looking at the piece of jade, hesitated slightly, and said, "Fanzi, eat quickly, what's so beautiful about a piece of broken jade." ”

After the three of them finished eating, Dong Zi brought the horses and slowly helped Liu Fan onto the horse, because Liu Fan was injured, the three of them did not rush to the barracks until it was dark.

In the small talk with Uncle Su and Dong Zi along the way, Liu Fan also had a preliminary understanding of this dynasty that had never appeared in his shallow history.

The founding of the Great Qi has gone through three generations, since the founding of the country, and the northern ethnic minorities of the war continues, in order to deal with the Khitan invasion, in recent years the Great Qi regime in the northern border set up the northwest, Hedong, Yanshan three major camps. Since the succession of Shengshang, the Khitan State gradually shifted the focus of the war to the west, in early August, the Khitan invaded the border, its front army out of Shazhou arrived at the Ganzhou front yesterday August 12, Jincheng 3rd Brigade in the Ganzhou front to carry out the flank defense mission.

Ganzhou is located in the middle of the Hexi Corridor, with Qilian Mountain in the south, Heli Mountain and Longshou Mountain in the north, and directly to the northwest through Suzhou and directly to the northwest gateway of Daqi - Yumen Pass, but Uncle Su said that Yumen Pass has been lost in the first emperor, and now Daqi focuses on defending the Khitan army south with Ganzhou City as the center.

The city of Ganzhou is small, the city wall is low, and the geography of Ganzhou is long from east to west and narrow from north to south, so General Sima Li Zongxiong, the head of the northwest camp, sat in Liangzhou, and ordered the deputy head of the northwest camp to be the commander-in-chief of the Shenwu Army, General Sima Guo Huaide, as the commander-in-chief of the Right Route Army, and led the Shenwu Army and the Shenwei Army to be responsible for the defense of Ganzhou, and deployed troops along the Ganliang line for stepped defense, and ordered the Shenxiang Army to take on the flank defense task in Xining Prefecture for the Left Route Army to defend against the Khitan Army from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to the east.

Guo Huaide deployed the main army under his command in three aspects: first, Sima Qi Boyuan of the Jincheng Army led three brigades of the Jincheng Army to camp at the northern foot of Qilian Mountain, second, he personally led eight brigades of the Shenwu Army, three brigades of the Shenwei Army, and two brigades of the Ganzhou Army to carry out frontal defense inside and outside the city of Ganzhou, and third, the other three brigades of the Ganzhou Army maneuvered along the line from Heli Mountain to Ganzhou.

Along the way, Uncle Su not only explained to Liu Fan the main generals of the Jincheng Army and even the Right Route Army that he knew, as well as the dress and etiquette in the army, but also gave a detailed introduction to the details of today's Jincheng Army's engagement with the enemy, "Yesterday, the 60,000 troops of the Khitan Army arrived at the front line in Ganzhou under the leadership of Nu Ergedan, the deputy marshal of the Marshal Mansion on the West Road, and then sent a team of 10,000 people at midnight to bypass the northern foot of Qilian Mountain to the rear of Ganzhou, intending to enter the city by surprise through the attack on the relatively loose east gate, and attacking straight down to Ganzhou. But its intentions were already lurking near the enemy camp scouts discovered, Jincheng A Brigade in time along the right bank of the Heihe River detoured to the rear of the enemy, in the early morning A Brigade received the enemy, Liu Fan led the team to rush and fight, the Khitan army was defeated, Liu Fan followed a team of Khitan defeated army for half a day and finally annihilated it, and beheaded its commander, but the team led by himself was almost wiped out. ”

Back in the battalion, Liu Fan and the three were highly praised by the commander of the First Brigade and even General Qi Boyuan, saying that in the morning battle, Liu Fan fought bravely, led the three sentinels of the First Brigade Yin Battalion to first cut through the defense of the Khitan Army, and created a fighter for the main force of the First Brigade to break into the enemy's rearguard.

That night, General Guo Huaide, commander-in-chief of the Right Route Army, reported the results of the battle to Li Zongxiong, the commander of the battalion, and Liu Fan and the captain of the Yin battalion both reported first-class merits. Although the results were impressive, the Yin battalion also suffered heavy losses in the battle, with 345 killed and 423 seriously wounded.

In view of the extraordinary period of wartime, in order to boost morale, the camp carried out the meritorious service in a hurry and leniently, in order to commend the Jincheng Army for its outstanding combat exploits in the battle at the northern foot of Qilian Mountain, the commander-in-chief Guo Huaide personally rushed from Ganzhou City, 30 miles away, and conveyed to the Jincheng Army the reward of the camp for yesterday's battle.

Awarded Qi Boyuan as General Mingwei from the fourth grade, appointed as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Right Route Army, and concurrently served as the Sima of the Jincheng Army; The former commander of the A Brigade, the deputy commander of the A Brigade, and the captain of the former Yin Battalion were all promoted; Liu Fan was promoted to deputy commander of the Jincheng Military Brigade and captain of the Yin Battalion; The rest of the meritorious personnel were all given different degrees of promotion and reward, and even Uncle Su and Dong Zi were promoted to the deputy lieutenant of the Yin battalion and the commander of the personal army at the same time because of the meritorious deeds of Qi Boyuan and other high-ranking officials of the Jincheng Army.

The Yin battalion is the main cavalry battalion of the Jincheng A Brigade, with a total of 10 sentinels, including a sentry scout, a sentry baggage soldier, and the remaining eight sentry cavalry, and there are still 20 school captains and soldiers.

For Liu Fan, it has only been a day's work, and he has made a gorgeous turn from a small bank clerk of a different era, from managing eight people in a small savings bank to managing thousands of people, which is equivalent to a big president at the prefectural and municipal levels.

Liu Fan went through the dilemma he was currently facing, as a captain of the cavalry battalion, the first thing to solve was the problem of riding a horse, but he basically never touched a horse in his previous life, and the only intimate contact with the horse was when he came to this world yesterday, and he and Dong Zi rode back to the camp due to serious injuries.

Although he woke up with pain all over his body yesterday, in fact, there were some skin injuries all over his body, and after returning to the camp yesterday, the wounds had been treated, except for the wound on his head that had not yet healed, the other wounds were no longer serious.

Thinking of everything at present, Liu Fan was sad for a while, what should I do, pretending to be a soft egg and saying that he was sick and couldn't go to the battlefield, it would definitely be a nest of bears, but as a result, he was not only looked down upon by everyone, but also dragged his subordinates, Liu Fan, who really ascended to heaven, must have been brought to life by himself, and he had a body of modern knowledge, Liu Fan was at a loss.

At this time, Dong Zi, who had just been promoted to the commander of the personal soldier sentry, came in to report, and Uncle Su and the deputy lieutenant of the Mao battalion asked to see him.

The deputy lieutenant of the Mao battalion is called Geng Dawei, the former sentry commander of the Yin battalion, and Liu Fan and Uncle Su are all from Chengnan Zhuang, several people have been stirring spoons in a pot for several years, because the deputy lieutenant of the Mao battalion was killed in yesterday's battle, so Geng Dawei has just taken over the post of deputy lieutenant of the Mao battalion from the sentry commander, although the name is Dawei, but the length is not Dawei at all, according to Liu Fan's estimate, the height is definitely not more than one meter six, and the dry and thin body looks like there is not a few taels of meat, but it has a big mouth and a pair of small eyes, which makes people want to laugh when they see it.

Although Geng Dawei's little eyes were almost smiling at this moment because of his promotion, Liu Fan didn't even have a smile because of the pretending to be in his heart at this moment, Dawei bowed and saluted, and said nonchalantly, "What's the matter, Lord Brigade Marshal is uncomfortable, the injury is too serious?" ”

Liu Fan replied, "The injury is not in the way, the key is to become a deputy of the A Brigade at once, I don't know what to do?"

"Fart, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and everyone fights bravely, and when the time comes, it will be enough to lead the team to rush forward, what is there to worry about."

While talking to Uncle Su and Dawei and others, Liu Fan secretly cheered for himself in his heart, yes, although he was a bank clerk in his previous life, he was obsessed with martial arts after seeing Shaolin Temple in elementary school, especially after learning martial arts with the physical education teacher for four years in college, plus the deceased Liu Fan still left himself a strong body, what's the big deal.
