Chapter 425: Snatching Military Merit
You don't have to worry about it, I have my own decision. ”
Xie Yutang has been in the military camp for so many years, and he still knows a thing or two about some of the insiders.
It is very difficult for an ordinary soldier like him to get ahead, and he can only fight a way out by relying on real military exploits, but many times, the credit they have made at the risk of their lives will be taken away by some powerful children.
He figured out which son of the family should have robbed him of his credit.
He guessed that he was not wrong at all, the person who robbed him of his credit was Qin Haibo, the son of the governor of Linzhou.
Qin Haibo led his little scholar and lay in the barracks with a proud face.
"I received a letter from my father just now, and he praised me again, presumably I will be able to get out of the barracks soon, you can rest assured, when I become a great official in the future, I will not forget your merits today."
Originally, he came to the barracks just to get a touch of light and pave the way for future promotion, but he didn't expect that there was a powerful person in the barracks, which made his originally bright road even better.
He didn't notice Xie Yutang's character at first, it was the scholar next to him who gave him the idea.
Xie Yutang was born ordinary, even if he was robbed of his military merits, he could only endure it silently.
The scholar saw that his master was in a good mood, and reminded in a low voice, "Since you are going back soon, young master, then in the next period of time, don't you want to take the credit of Xie Yutang anymore?" ”
To be honest, there was always a faint uneasiness in his heart, Xie Yutang was really terrifying, every time he went to the battlefield, he could make the first contribution, and even in several battles, he played a key role, without his help, it was very likely that the battle would have been lost.
It is really not appropriate to offend such a person, and it is better to be able to befriend him and take him under his command before the other party has made a fortune.
The scholar told Qin Haibo his thoughts, but Qin Haibo was furious.
"He's just an inferior person from a low birth, how can he be worthy of Young Master Ben lowering his stature and associating with him." Qin Haibo's eyes were full of disdain.
The scholar knows his young master's temper, and letting the two of them get along may only backfire, so it is best to persuade him to stop.
Xie Yutang is a very smart person, if he knows that his own young master has taken the credit for him, I am afraid that he will retaliate.
But Qin Haibo took his words as a deaf ear, "He's just an ordinary person with no power or power, even if he knows that I did it, what can he do with me?" ”
The scholar sighed helplessly, so he had to let him go.
In the next operation to suppress the bandits, Xie Yutang captured the head of the bandit leader in one fell swoop.
This scene happened in front of everyone, Wang Sheng felt that this time, the credit of the eldest brother must be certain, but he didn't expect to be taken by someone again.
Seeing Qin Haibo, who was standing on the drill platform with a proud face but a bloated body, Wang Sheng took a sip unceremoniously, "With his body, he can't breathe after running a few steps, can he go on the field to kill the enemy?" Don't you run back in fear before the enemy comes, right? ”
The people under Xie Yutang were also very unconvinced when they saw that their eldest brother's military exploits were snatched away one after another.
For these ordinary soldiers with no background, the only way to be promoted is to risk their lives to kill the enemy on the battlefield, so Xie Yutang's experience also reminded them of themselves.
Xie Yutang glanced up at the people on the stage and sneered. I didn't expect it to be delivered to the door by myself, so he took the trouble to find it.
After some persuasion, Wang Sheng and the others did not have the impulse to go to Qin Haibo to settle accounts.
But unexpectedly, the other party came to the door by himself, and Qin Haibo and they met next to the moat.
As soon as the people under Xie Yutang's hands saw him, they glared angrily, and their faces were red and their necks were thick.
Chen Haibo was first frightened by the momentum of a group of them, but then reacted, these people didn't dare to do anything to him at all, and after snorting coldly, he pretended to be arrogant and walked past them.
"Good dogs don't get in the way." Qin Haibo said to Wang Sheng, who was blocking his way.
"Who do you say is a dog? You robbed my eldest brother of the credit, and we haven't settled accounts with you yet! Wang glared at the other party angrily.
Hearing this, the scholar's heart chuckled.
They actually knew about it.
The scholar was a little panicked, but Qin Haibo didn't care, but asked with a smile, "You have to pay attention to evidence when you speak, what about the evidence?" ”
"The bandit leader, we all saw that my eldest brother killed him."
"Oh? If you say he killed him, did he kill him? Then the people under my command still saw that I personally cut off the heads of the bandits, what do you say? Qin Haibo laughed provocatively.
Xie Yutang pulled Wang Sheng away and looked at Qin Haibo with a gloomy face, "I have walked a lot at night, be careful of encountering ghosts." ”
Qin Haibo had been provoked in front of him, and stepped forward and grabbed Xie Yutang's collar, "Boy, do you know who my father is?" ”
Xie Yutang flicked his hand away, and his face was condensed: "It's just a prefect of Linzhou."
Hearing this, Qin Haibo's face changed suddenly, where did this kid know who his father was? Or has he been secretly investigating him and he doesn't know anything?
Thinking like this, Qin Haibo instantly got goosebumps.
He wanted to continue to ask, but the other party didn't give him this opportunity, and went directly with a group of people.
Qin Haibo was so angry by Xie Yutang's ignorance that he could only vent his anger on the scholar on the side. "Didn't you say that he was a powerless and powerless nobody, how would he know who my father was?!"
The scholar felt very innocent, "I have investigated him in advance, and he is indeed from an ordinary background. ”
No matter how angry Qin Haibo was here, Wang Sheng on the other side asked Xie Yutang very excitedly, "Big brother, did you already know that he robbed you of your military merits, so you secretly investigated him?" ”
Xie Yutang shook his head, "I only found out today that he took the credit from me, but once, I heard him show off his family background to others, so I wrote it down." ”
"I see, what are you going to do with him, big brother?" Wang Sheng began to rub his hands, "Where you need our help, just ask." ”
Others also expressed their willingness to help, but Xie Yutang politely declined their kindness.
The other party is the son of an official eunuch, and ordinary people like them have no way to compete with it, and when they encounter this kind of thing that has been robbed of their credit, they can only swallow this politeness silently, and after clearly realizing this, everyone is silent and does not speak.
Wang Sheng thought that if they didn't take the initiative to provoke each other, the other party would not come to trouble them, but he didn't expect that they were willing to swallow their anger, but the other party was unwilling to let them go.
Since that day, they have always been stumbling up, and they have been transferred to the gang room to help inexplicably, and those who can enter the barracks are all strong men with strong blood, so they naturally don't want to stay in the kitchen.
At first, they didn't understand what was going on, until someone secretly told them that they had to stay away from Xie Yutang to be able to stay here.
"Qin Haibo, this grandson, actually used such a trick, I must settle accounts with him!" As soon as Wang Sheng heard about this, he immediately walked out angrily.
Xie Yutang rushed over to stop him, Wang Sheng looked at him with red eyes, "Big brother, I really can't bear it anymore, don't worry, I won't bother you." ”
"Wang Sheng, do you believe me?" Xie Yutang did not persuade him, but asked such a sentence.
"Of course I believe you!" Wang Sheng replied without hesitation.
"If you believe me, then endure it for a few more days." Xie Yutang's tone was full of confidence, and he turned to the others, "Brothers, I have been responsible for you, but in a few days, I will give you an explanation." ”
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what he was going to do, Zhang Wu stepped forward and said, "Big brother, it's nothing for us to be wronged, don't act impulsively like this kid, you have to remember that your sister-in-law is still waiting for you at home." ”
Knowing that the other party was also for his own good, Xie Yutang responded with a smile, "You can wait and see." ”
Qin Haibo found all kinds of excuses and replaced all the people under Xie Yutang. In exchange for all old fritters, no one wants to listen to him.
Xie Yutang didn't care about this, and let those old fritters be lazy.
In this regard, Wang Mazi asked with some puzzlement, "Why did Qin Haibo put us all in the room, but didn't transfer the eldest brother over?" ”
Wang Sheng knocked on her head and said hatefully, "Why are you so stupid?" Without his eldest brother fighting on the front line, where did he get his military exploits? ”
Wang Sheng's guess was not wrong, the scholar suggested that Qin Haibo transfer Xie Yutang to the room, but he refused, and he also counted on Xie Yutang to earn more military merits so that he could be promoted faster.
Although the scholar felt that this was a problem for raising tigers, he was helpless.
They had previously exterminated several bandit dens in the next county, but the bandits who had escaped from these bandit dens actually gathered together again and formed a new force.
The boss sent them to suppress the bandits again, and Xie Yutang was also sent to the battlefield.
Qin Haibo and his scholar followed the team from a distance with his men, and as soon as the two sides started fighting, they immediately found a hidden place to hide.
Towards the end of the battle, they went up and stabbed the corpse a few more times.
This time, the bandit army may have just been established not long ago, and they were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and soon collapsed and fled.
Qin Haibo jumped out from where he was hiding, and Xie Yutang looked at him coldly, "We are going to pursue the enemy now, so Grand Prince Qin should continue to hide behind us." ”
