"As a laborer, the subordinate is satisfied with a little merit, and he is satisfied when he gets the first rank, how dare he be insatiable and take the great merit for himself?"

Heifu said these words in fear, and then hung his head silently, if he strictly followed the law and military law, this great merit that should have been completely counted on his head was divided into most of it and presented to Li You.

It's extraordinarily tempting.

Since Li You became a lieutenant, he has been conscientious and has worked hard to manage the Nanjun soldiers well. In the battle of Xiangcheng, he could have evacuated with the whole division, but because he was cut off by Meng Tian's designation of heavenly killing, he had to be ordered to line up, but he was scattered by the Chu army and ended up with a defeat of the army.

Along the way, in addition to the pain, what bothered Li You the most was the military sanctions he faced after returning to China.

Qin Lu will not open up because his father is a court lieutenant, because he himself is still the princess of Qin, and he will not listen to his explanation. The punishment that Li You received will not be less, at most he can offset part of it with his title, and his hard work for ten years will be in vain.

Even if Heifu defeated the Chu army, because this battle basically had nothing to do with Li You, it could only offset part of the guilt. If he is still condemned to be demoted, but his subordinates are promoted two levels in a row, this is really an extremely embarrassing thing.

But now, there is an opportunity in front of Li You.

By accepting this "gift" from Hef, he will be able to exonerate himself from all guilt!

Captured a county duke of Chu State, captured a large number of military flags, beheaded four or five hundred ranks, and rescued two hundred prisoners from other troops. Four merits are rewarded at the same time, and there is even a chance to upgrade by one level! From the five doctors to the left chief!

His heart was immediately moved.

But looking at the respectful Heifu in front of him, Li You also began to re-examine this person, adding a new label in addition to being young, poor-born, capable, smart, enterprising, and interesting.

"Ambition!"

This naked, hoping to serve Li You, or rather, to join his father Li Si, and thus advance to the ambition is obvious.

A smile appeared at the corner of Li You's mouth, so this black man is still too young to know how to hide.

Captain Li Si and his son Li You did not dislike ambition at all, on the contrary, they liked subordinates who were ambitious and not lacking in ability.

Because this father and son are the same people: from a low background and ambitious!

Li You remembered that his father once said to him: "Those who are in a lowly position and do not do anything, this bird and deer regard meat, and the human face can force the ears of the people!" ”

There is nothing more to criticize than humility, and nothing to be sad than poverty. In Li Tingwei's eyes, if a person has no ambition, does not seek fame and wealth, and has no idea of changing the status quo, is he still a person?

Walking on two feet, pretending to be a human dog and an elk.

Since he saw through Heifu's thoughts, Li You didn't respond to him positively, but talked about another thing that seemed completely unrelated.

"I heard that Xu Yang died?"

Heifu's shoulders moved slightly, and he promised: "Only, Xu Yang is rebellious and has been corrected." ”

Li You slapped the bed heavily: "It's good to die!" ”

Xu Yang has no ability, but he has no ambition, and he does stupid things at critical moments, according to the eyes of his father Li Si, this is the biggest sin! It's more than innocent!

Li You coughed and said with a smile: "Today is really a great harvest, I have one less mediocre subordinate who can only do bad things." ”

"But there is one more loyal Zicai henchman, who is very good!"

Everyone is a smart person, and the two looked at each other and smiled tacitly, and the matter was settled. Anyway, did Li You secretly teach Heifu such a thing, as long as the two of them have the same caliber, who can question it?

In Heifu's heart, he also has his own little abacus.

One of the reasons why he did this was, of course, to hug Li Si's thighs, which couldn't be thicker. Li Si can be said to be the most stable boat in the Qin Dynasty before the death of Qin Shi Huang, and he has been the prime minister for more than ten years, with a high and powerful position. What's more, he and Hefu have the same identity:

Born in the old land of Chu......

In the Qin State, the era of indiscriminate collection of customers has passed forever, if a small person wants to take refuge in the mountain, it is not a random cast, it depends on whether the region is consistent, because these years are extremely important to the township party.

For example, among Wang Qian's old generals, most of them are from Guanzhong, because Wang is from Pinyang, Guanzhong. Montessori's old generals and staff preferred to accept people from Shandong, especially Qi people, because Meng Fu was originally a guest from Qi State.

And the Li Si family, in addition to Zhang Cang, a little junior brother, seems to be very willing to accept talents from Chudi.

If Heifu can become Li You's confidant, and climb the high branch of Li Si by the way, he can at least ensure that he has a worry-free future in the next fifteen years!

The price is only a first-class knighthood......

It's a lucrative deal.

Second, Heifu also has some considerations, that is, how to maximize the success of this battle and make it more beneficial to the whole collective.

"Li Xin was defeated, Meng Tian was defeated, but we defeated the Chu people with a remnant army. Not counting Li Xin's rapid advance at the beginning of the Buddha, this is probably the only bright spot in the second half of this hasty battle to destroy Chu......"

If this battle is fought by a small general who doesn't even have a surname, I'm afraid that the officials of the Qin State will not have much interest in publicizing it too much. There is no additional benefit except for making Heifu two levels higher, and by the way, pushing him, a little person, to the cusp of being envied.

But what if this battle was won by Li You, the son of Tingwei and the son-in-law of the king of Qin?

I am afraid that the deeds of this army will be hyped up by the officials of the Qin State and become a fig leaf to cover up the defeat!

It is conceivable that after Heifu gave up some of his interests, as long as he could return to the Qin State, the hundreds of them, whether they died in battle or survived, all of them were promoted to the first rank, which was only the most basic reward. In addition, the short-term benefits and long-term benefits will be endless.

Thinking of this, Heifu bowed to Li You again: "The subordinate has one more thing, I want to ask the captain for permission." ”

Li You had already seen Heifu extremely pleasing to the eye, let him get up, and said with a smile: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"Here's the thing, during the battle with the Chu people, there was a trapped soldier who was in the queue, Huaimu, who unfortunately died heroically. We waited for a few hundred generals and commanders to discuss it, and wanted to put together some of the merits of beheading and capturing the flag, and put more on him and the people who died in battle, so that they could get more merits......"

This is the result of everyone's discussion, and it is enough for the living people to be able to guarantee the first-class promotion, so that the benefits can be shared among the sacrificed soldiers. Let their families benefit more, which may alleviate the grief of parents, wives and children.

For this reason, Heifu also specifically asked the military judge, in the Qin State, if the elder brother died in battle, can the younger brother be established as the "queen" and inherit the title?

The military judge knew what he wanted to do and took the trouble to explain to him the principle of succession to the title.

"If you are not the same mother and brother, you can't be the last."

"If you have been separated, you must not be a successor."

"You must live with the same mother and cohabit before you can be made a queen!"

Unlike the rules of the Han Dynasty, Qin wars were more frequent, and many people died in battle before they even had children. In order to encourage these people to fight bravely, they were more lenient than in the Han Dynasty and allowed their younger brothers to inherit.

Heifu thought for a moment at the time and said: "Huaimu has no children, but he has two brothers, both born to the same mother, both of whom are adults. I remember that he said that the two brothers were both subordinates of Jingling County, and they only asked for redemption after the battle of Warwei, but I don't know if they have been redeemed, and I don't know how to calculate the household registration. ”

"It should have been redeemed, and the county will not delay this matter." The military judge's name is Qiu Xiao, who was a prison boy in a county town before he enlisted in the army, and knew the law, and he said to Heifu:

"As for the household registration, the middle brother is longer, and he should have a single independent household, and the uncle is still registered with Huaimu, until he or Huaimu's son becomes an adult, he does not have to have a single independent household, and he can be established as a queen and inherit the title!"

In this way, Heifu is relieved, he is iron-hearted, even if he cuts his share a little, he will give Huaimu the credit for being promoted to the doctor by three levels in a row!

Because in Heifu's mind, it has always been the scene when Huaimu died, the hand that stretched out and wanted to grab something......

Heifu panicked in his heart, but as a commander, it was impossible for him to personally go into the charge, this was really a choice that people couldn't let go, this was really a cruel era, how many people came back to fight in ancient times?

Therefore, Heifu had to do something for the deceased in order to make himself feel better.

It's like a sentence he saw in a book in his previous life.

Ambition is ambition.

Conscience is conscience!

Heifu wants to climb up to Liss and his son, so that ambition can bloom and blossom.

He also wanted to keep his conscience in his arms and not let himself forget who he was, where he came from, and why he was fighting.

"I'm fighting to take control of my own destiny."

"I'm fighting to bring you home!"
