Seeing off the army led by Wang Wei was already in the depths of winter.

It's time for the year to come.

On this day, the third brother Yingzhao came to Yingkang Mansion, "Fifth brother, it's almost the New Year." You see, every year during the Chinese New Year, we had to eat together and sit with our parents and brothers. This year, it seems that it is a little difficult to have a meal together. ”

"The third brother has something to say." Ying Kang knew that Ying Zhao could talk like this, and he must have his own thoughts, so he asked.

"I think so, you see that this Qianyi city has been built very well, but the popularity is too small. I want to go back to Inuqiu a year ago, and by the way, I will take your sister-in-law and my sister over to live here with us, and I will take care of you in the future. What do you think? ”

After listening to the words of the third brother Yingzhao, he couldn't help but arouse Yingkang's longing for his hometown. That's right, it's been more than half a year, and I don't know how my mother and eldest brother live in Inuqiu City?

Did the surrounding Rong Di continue to come over and bully the Qin people.

Seeing that Yingkang didn't speak for a long time, Yingzhao said: "Brother, I also know that this Qianyi City has just been built not long ago, and it has experienced a great war not long ago, and someone needs to help you. ”

"Third brother, I didn't mean that, but when you mentioned it, I was a little homesick." Then Yingkang said to Yingzhao: "Actually, I support you to go back to Inuqiu, it would be great if you could bring your sister-in-law and children here, if they don't want to come, you don't have to force it, after all, this is still a place where wars are frequent, today is in our hands, who knows if it will continue to be in our hands tomorrow?" ”

"Brother, what you said, after such a big battle, Qianyi City can still be in our hands, I think it will also be our Qin people in the future. When you wait for me to return to Inuqiu, you will definitely bring your sister-in-law and children with you, and I will accompany this city for the rest of my life. Yingzhao said firmly, "After several generations of hard work, the Qin people finally managed to have a place of their own in Guanzhong today, and I will definitely not allow others to snatch it away." ”

No matter what the current ownership of Qianyi City is, anyway, Yingzhao has already recognized this city as the land of the Qin people in his heart.

Ying Kang listened, nodded and said to Ying Zhao: "Then the third brother will go back quickly, I will prepare a banquet here and wait for you and my sister-in-law to hear from them, and we will have a meaningful New Year in this new place this year." ”

"Okay, just wait for my good news!" After that, Yingzhao walked out of Yingkang's mansion, and said to Yingkang before going out: "Brother, I'll leave first, you just wait for the good news." ”

After Yingzhao left, Yingkang felt even more lonely, so he came to Zhao Boyu's house alone, although it was actually a room next to the barracks. After all, the status of the Qin people at this time is not high, and even Yingkang himself is just a Sima, how good can Zhao Boyuan be treated as a centurion?

Seeing Yingkang coming, Zhao Boyu was a little happy, "Master Sima, why are you here?" ”

"Why can't I come?" Ying Kang asked rhetorically.

"It's almost the New Year, there are so many things for you to deal with in Qianyi City, where do you still have time to come to me?" Zhao Boyu said with a smile.

"It's because there were a lot of things a year ago that I came to discuss with you." Ying Kang smiled and walked into Zhao Boyu's hut.

After entering the house, Ying Kang looked at the furnishings in Zhao Boyu's house, and couldn't help but feel a little sad, "I used to come here often, but I always came and went in a hurry. Today, I saw that you were too shabby here. ”

Commonplace is the same as not seeing.

Yingkang has come to Zhao Boyu many times before, but every time he came in a hurry, he left in a hurry, and he never bothered to see the layout and furnishings here. Today, I finally took the time to take a good look here, which made Yingkang a little sad.

I am already the lord of a city, and my good friend still lives in such a simple place, the contrast is too great.

In any case, Zhao Boyu is also a person who has made great efforts for the construction of Qianyi City!

Zhao Boyu smiled, "There are a total of ten centurions in the Qin army in Qianyi City, which one of them is not such a condition, why should I be better than others?" ”

Although it can't be compared with the living conditions of Ying Kang and Ying Zhao waiting for the son of the Ying family, it is already very good for Zhao Boyu, a person who became a centurion at a young age. Zhao Boyuan is quite satisfied with this, not to mention that the other entanglement centurions are all older than Zhao Boyuan, they can all live under such conditions, of course Zhao Boyuan can also live, and he is satisfied.

Ying Kang smiled and said, "Bo Yuan, I came here today to discuss something with you. ”

"Lord Sima, please speak."

"Bo Yuan, in the battle of Qianyi, you have made indelible achievements, I want to suggest that the eldest brother, promote you to the commander of the thousand commanders, and assist me in managing the army of Qianyi. What do you think? ”

Promote me to Commander of a Thousand Forces?

Zhao Boyu's eyes widened when he heard this, when he first joined the army, he also thought about being a commander or preferably a general. But when he really entered the army, his thoughts changed, because he saw that many soldiers who had been longer than him and had fought more battles were still army commanders and even commanders, and there were not many people who could be centurions, and it was already very good for him to be a centurion of the Qin army at a young age.

At the moment, his idea is to be a centurion for a few years, and wait until his experience and merits can support him to become a thousand-year-on-command.

Who knew that in a simple battle to defend Qianyi, Yingkang would promote himself to be a thousand-commander.

Although the commander is not a high-ranking official in the army, for the current Qianyi, with only a thousand troops, the commander is already the highest military commander of the Qin army in Qianyi.

With his current strength and merits, can he do a good job in the position of a thousand-commander?

Zhao Boyu was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and then said: "Master Sima, you also know that it is because I grew up with you since I was a child that I took the position of centurion in the army. I am very grateful to you for having promoted me to the rank of commander of a thousand years before you have done so; But I'm worried that I'm going to be promoted too quickly and I can't convince the public! At present, there are more generals in the army with more qualifications and merits than me, so Master Sima should consider other people! ”

Oops! Who doesn't love to be an official?

When the official position was placed in front of Zhao Boyu, he even resigned.

Ying Kang had to look at this old friend who grew up with him differently, "What you said is also true, there are indeed a few centurions in the Qianyi army who are older than you, but there are no centurions who can take on heavy responsibilities for me." Now the purpose of my choice of the commander is to take on the important responsibilities in the army for me, so it is natural to choose someone who can take on the role, rather than choosing an older man based on seniority. Besides, I'm younger than you, so don't I still serve as the Sima of the Qin army? ”

Zhao Boyu smiled honestly when he heard this, "How can I compare with Master Sima at my level?" However, I am still worried, if I can't convince the public, it will not be a failure to live up to your kindness. ”

Ying Kang looked at the guy who grew up with him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I have already arranged a courtyard not far from the mansion, you can move here tomorrow, first deal with military affairs with me for a period of time, and after everyone agrees, I will appoint you as a commander, what do you think?" ”

Since Yingkang has thought of everything for himself, what else does Zhao Boyu not agree to?
