Chapter 018: Patrol the Border Plug
Disperse the onlookers and return to the tent to sit down, Dou Yi looked at him and smiled: "Little Brother Qin won't blame me for making my own decisions, right?" ”
"The intentions of the captain, the subordinates are too late to be grateful, how can they blame."
"If you know, it's good." Dou Yi nodded with satisfaction, and then explained what he was responsible for, and then arranged for Cao Jin to be the foot pawn Dubo.
At this point, Qin Shen understood that it was time to retreat, so he glanced at Cao Jin, but when he saw that the other party was twisting and pinching without retreating, he couldn't help but feel slightly curious in his heart.
"Captain! I ......" Cao Jin wanted to speak and stopped, hesitated for a moment and finally couldn't help but say: "Can I also go to the Qin brothers' team?" ”
Dou Yi frowned and was stunned when he heard this, and immediately reprimanded: "Nonsense! The army has its own rules, you have been in the army for several years, how can you not know? ”
"I, I know ......" Cao Jin looked at Dou Yi's sinking face and muttered: "It's just that I really hope to be in the Qin brothers' team, and Captain Wanwang will allow it." ”
Seeing his sincere words, Dou Yi couldn't bear to be difficult, his face slowed down, and he forced his gaze: "Since you know, then tell me, how can the hundred-man team have two Dubo, and who do you let the soldiers obey?" ”
"I don't want the position of Du Bo, I just ask the Du Lieutenant to allow me to follow Brother Qin's side." Cao Jin did not hesitate at all.
"This ......" Dou Yi tapped his embarrassed fingers on the case, pondered for a moment, turned his head to Qin Shen and inquired, "What does Little Brother Qin think?" ”
"This ......" Qin Shen glanced at Cao Jin with a headache, seeing that he was looking at himself with blank eyes, he couldn't help but blame Dou Yi for handing over this hot potato to himself to deal with, and his thoughts flew in helplessness: "Qi Yu Du Wei, now his subordinates have been waiting for the summons under the Du Wei account, the title of the little brother is not in line with the courtesy, and the subordinates dare not take it, and please call Du Wei another name, just call me by my name." ”
After saying that, I was proud in my heart, isn't the secret way just playing Tai Chi, who wouldn't.
For Cao Jin, Qin Shen had already seen that Dou Yi had the intention to focus on cultivating him, but now that Cao Jin was bent on drilling into his own team, how could he know what Dou Yi was thinking in his heart? Moreover, even if he put aside these concerns, Cao Jin only climbed to today's position after several years in the army, he really didn't want to see the other party "reinstated".
"Huh." In the face of his answer, Dou Yi let out a few chuckles as if he knew his thoughts well, and just when he was weak, Dou Yi smiled: "What Little Brother Qin said is reasonable, but I was negligent, just calling you by your name is too rusty, but I don't know what Junior Brother Qin Taifu is called?" ”
Taiwanese service? Taifu? Qin Shen was confused for a moment and came to his senses and said: "My subordinates are just a small people in the countryside, and how can I have any words, even if the captain calls me by my name." ”
Dou Yi shook his head with a smile, then looked at him with a smile and said, "Since Little Brother Qin doesn't have a table word, if you don't dislike me, how about I take a table word for you?" ”
Can I refuse?! Qin Shen sneered: "If you get the word from the captain, your subordinates will be extremely happy. ”
"Well......" Dou Yi thought about the case lightly, and muttered: "Be careful, be careful!" It is good to be cautious and cautious, but to be too cautious is to be indecisive...... Not...... Resolute, there is a decision! It would be better to be cautious and decisive in the face of things......"
As he spoke, he looked at Qin Shen with a faint smile on his face and said, "Little Brother Qin is a talent, and he deserves a sub-word, why don't you call Ziyi?" ”
Qin Shen saw that he frowned sometimes and sometimes raised his eyebrows between deep groans, and the words he took were also profound, obviously with extreme intentions, and the slight awkwardness in his heart suddenly dissipated, and he said happily: "Thank you Duwei for giving me the words." ”
In the face of his happy acceptance, Dou Yi felt happy from the bottom of his heart, and said with a smile: "Ziyi, this matter is over, I just don't know ......" After a pause, he looked sideways at Cao Jin and said, "What do you think about this matter?" ”
The subordinates and Brother Cao hit it off at first sight, and there is no problem in the same team, besides, the subordinates have been in the army for a short time, and there are still many military affairs that they don't understand, if there are Brother Cao on the side, it would be great, as for the two uncles in the hundred-person team, Brother Cao and I are extremely kind but it is not a big problem, but this is the arrangement of military affairs, and it is subject to the decision of the captain." ”
Dou Yi nodded thoughtfully, looked at Cao Jin, who was full of anticipation, and said helplessly: "Then you will be allowed to be in the same team as Ziyi, but ......" paused slightly, and said solemnly: "You still continue to be your team leader!" ”
"Yui!" Cao Jin was overjoyed, and there was no displeasure.
Qin Shen felt pity in his heart, and hesitated: "This ...... There's no need. ”
"Huh!" Dou Yi waved his hand involuntarily, "You and Cao Jin are good, but it is difficult to ensure that your subordinates have other thoughts, and there has always been one person in the army, if the two stand side by side, there will be a dirty thing, in order to prevent trouble, this matter is decided!" ”
"What the Captain said is very true." Cao Jin nodded again and again.
Of course, Qin Shen understands this kind of joint, just like the famous generals of some eras have been defeated repeatedly, isn't it because of the powerful eunuchs in the army? These supervisors usually restrain and don't care, and even override the commander in battle, so that the commander's military orders are difficult to enforce, and he can't command the army like an arm, which is frustrated everywhere, he just sees that Cao Jin's meritorious service is not easy, and it is inevitable that he will feel sorry for the other party when he is suddenly stripped of his credit, and at this moment, seeing that the two of them have no objections, they naturally no longer insist, nodding and agreeing.
Later, Dou Yi admonished Cao Jin harshly, and then let the two retreat.
On the way to the camp, Qin Shen glanced at Cao Jin, who was diligent, shook his head and sighed: "Brother Cao, I really don't understand why you don't let the good Dubo do it, but you want to come to my patrol day and night, why bother?" ”
"It's like a friend at first sight." Cao Jin learned and used it lively, and he said with a lot of things.
Qin Shen was speechless for a while, so he had to roll his eyelids and shake his head, smiling helplessly.
How could he not understand the other party's thoughts, but when he was burdened with more and more people's sustenance and fate, how could he get away freely?
Following.
When the first rays of morning light appeared in the east, the sound of crisp horses' hooves broke the silence of Wuquan Pass, and a team of more than 100 light horsemen stepped out of the gate to look at the north and meandered, and their figures gradually disappeared into the vast grassland with a faint sky.
This was Qin Shen's first border patrol.
After Dou Yi's account yesterday, he basically understood that the duty of patrolling the border was not only to monitor the movements of the Xiongnu, but also to prevent the Han people who did not have customs clearance documents from stepping out of Tiantian and escaping to Saiwai.
After learning this, he sighed that the border management system 2,000 years ago was no less than that of later generations, and at the same time, he was also somewhat glad that he did not turn out of the Great Wall at the beginning, otherwise he would have been accidentally killed by the Han army's random arrows in the run, and it would really be said that he would have died in a mess.
Hundreds of horsemen dressed in morning dew walked along the Tiantian for dozens of miles, the rising sun jumped out of the horizon, and the green grassland was like a layer of faint tulle under the fiery red sun, which was extremely gorgeous.
Qin Shen, who was at the head of the team, raised his hand to stop moving forward, and then gave his first order that was different from the others-
With a team of ten and an interval of ten miles, the leading dogs are each responsible for a section of border patrol.
The effect of yesterday's military exercise in the army was indeed immediate, and the eyes of a hundred light horsemen under him were full of reverence, and they naturally obeyed his orders.
Qin Shen has his own considerations for this, although it is a lot safer for hundreds of people to travel together, but not to mention the exhaustion of running back and forth, not to mention, even more so that with such a long line of defense, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes in the patrol of the brigade, such as the people have just left, and the Huns will come on their hind feet.
And according to the previous practice, it was not safe for him to release a solo patrol outside of the brigade.
In fact, according to his hear, there are often scouts who are not allowed to return after being released, and only after investigation do they know that they have been shot by the Huns.
Now that he has received this errand, he can no longer get by as muddled as he did in Fengsui, and ignore everything.
In his position, he still has to seek his own government, he must be responsible for the lives of his subordinates, now is not a wartime, it is too unnecessary to release a separate scout to take risks, it is better to take care of each other.
Of course, he also knows that the division of troops has always been taboo, and in case of emergency, it is very likely to lead to scheduling failure, but at this moment, he has no more good way, only to agree on the method of assembly and tell his subordinates to fight again.
And the most important thing is that he still has the last vestiges of illusion in his heart, and it is impossible for him to lead the hundred horsemen to leave the patrol and accompany him to find the mysterious ghost cave, so he must first break up the team and break up the people to facilitate his actions.
Thinking of this, even he couldn't tell whether it was for public or private to act like this, and the two couldn't help but smile bitterly, and he was relieved that this was taking care of both public and private!
"It's hard to patrol the border, isn't it?" Cao Jin, who had been watching him wait for instructions, noticed his unexpectedly revealing demeanor, grinned in vain, and complained in agreement: "It's really hard to get ready and set off before dawn." ”
"Now you know?" Qin Shen retracted his mind and glanced at him, and said as if it were true or false: "Why don't I go back to the camp and appeal to the captain, and then let you go back to serve as the foot soldier Dubo, um...... I expect the lieutenant to grant it. ”
"Don't, don't!" Cao Jin's face was in a hurry, and he hurriedly stopped, muttered a vague sentence and then diverted the topic: "The other brothers have already left, what about us?" ”
Qin Shen looked around, at this time, only their team was still on standby, in addition to the six people who came out of Fengsui, there were still the remaining four newly joined soldiers, and in a short time, Xue Yu and the others had already chatted with the four of them with their eyebrows, he knew that it was extremely inappropriate to leave the team and act alone on the first day of patrolling, and said: "You take the rest of the brothers to patrol back and forth around here, what are we ......?"
He smiled and continued: "Brother Qu and I are practicing swords here, if there is any situation, you can report it immediately, just a few miles away, it will not be a big problem to come." ”
Cao Jin was stunned when he heard this, he really didn't expect the other party to be so perfunctory on his first patrol, and he looked at him dumbfounded for a while, his face full of disbelief.
"So be it." Qin Shen turned a blind eye to his reaction, casually turned his head to look in the direction of Wuquan Pass, looked back and teased: "Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to ask me for advice and study?" I think I might as well start with this patrol. ”
You should know the person who is familiar with the border patrol, right? Cao Jin's mind was full of black lines, but he was afraid that he would mention that he would continue to go back as a foot soldier Dubo, so he reluctantly promised: "Then I will take them to patrol, and if there is any situation, I will report it immediately." ”
