Now Zhao Jun is thinking about one problem.

That is meritorious service, great merit!

Only when you have made meritorious service can you have a knighthood, and you can go back to find Lu Pheasant, fulfill your promise, and use the power of the government to find Zhao Ling.

Don't look at him now as a Lu chief, but he is still white, the title and position are two concepts, and even his guilty body has not been exempted, in the Surabaya County Mansion, he is still wanted.

Of course, not to mention being exempted from conscription and returning to his hometown after getting an official position, Zhao Jun was very anxious and eager to make meritorious contributions.

It's just that Zhao Jun soon found out that it was really difficult to make great contributions.

Take his position as the commander of his own soldiers, he is usually responsible for guarding the safety of the Shuai Camp and Meng Tian, and his treatment is three times better than that of ordinary Qin troops, and he does not need to patrol the barracks like ordinary soldiers, or guard the security of the border.

Moreover, the pro-soldiers are trained individually, because there are many people, and they only use attendance once every two or three days to protect Meng Tian's safety, so the amount of tasks is very light, and it is almost the most leisurely.

These sound like they are all envied by others, but in this way, it is extremely difficult to make meritorious contributions, and there is no chance at all.

And now Meng Tian has devoted most of his energy to the construction of the Great Wall and the construction of Henan, and he will not start the war easily.

Now, the whole land of Henan is full of laborers, and from a distance, it looks like a sea of people, some of them build houses, some reclaim farmland, build water conservancy, and some are responsible for building the Great Wall and building cities.

There was a sea of people, there were people who moved in, and the prisoners who were transported, especially the section of the Great Wall, were all prisoners, almost as tragic as the construction of the mausoleum of the first emperor.

However, the manpower was still insufficient, and the speed of the project progressed to the imperial court, and the emperor was not satisfied at all, and urged Meng Tian several times, as a last resort, Meng Tian only ordered the soldiers of the border army, in addition to his own soldiers, to take turns to participate in the construction.

Therefore, the so-called border troops have now become free labor, but they are well rested and fed, and they are much better paid, and they will not be abused at every turn like ordinary prisoners.

Zhao Jun can imagine that in a few years, under the auspices of Meng Tian, I am afraid that a prosperous Henan land will rise from the ground, and the future Jiuyuan County will definitely become a powerful rear for Meng Tian to conquer and defend against the Xiongnu.

It's just that since then, it has hurt the sergeants who want to make meritorious contributions like Zhao Jun.

Therefore, Zhao Jun can now be described as impatient, through his inquiry, there is now only a pro-army scout camp, which will have the opportunity to encounter a small group of Xiongnu soldiers and horses when probing news and protecting the transportation of grain to the frontier, so as to obtain military merits.

Therefore, Zhao Jun used his mind on the pro-army scout camp where Cao Wushu was.

The so-called pro-army scout battalion is the direct scout battalion under the direct jurisdiction of the commander, not the commander's personal soldiers.

The Qin army started from the military marquis, and each department would be equipped with a certain number of scouts, but for the convenience of command, there would generally be a battalion of scouts, which would be directly responsible to the commander.

The Northern Army is relatively special, so there are two directly subordinate scout battalions, each battalion has 3,000 soldiers, and there are three lieutenants, Meng Tian controls one battalion, and Ruan Weng Trong controls one battalion.

It's just that after some understanding, Zhao Jun was lost again.

Unless he wants to be a big soldier, it is almost impossible to become the commander of the scout battalion, because he has no merit, even Meng Tian cannot easily arrange it, the Qin army has a complete military merit system, and ordinary people can't change it at all.

And according to what Cao Wuxian said, the Huns have also learned well, and they are often expected, and it is difficult for the scout battalion to seize it, so the scout battalion now has few opportunities to make meritorious contributions, let alone make any great achievements.

Zhao Jun, who had no hope, began to calm down, he knew that he was too anxious some time ago, and it was not good to go on like this, maybe he would ignore other things.

Therefore, Zhao Jun began to wait quietly, and every day he either followed his own soldiers to train basic combat on the battlefield, or he learned from Meng Kui, Cao Wushu and Yingbu to sharpen his martial arts, or practice Xingyi Quan and flying knives diligently, which was the foundation of his own life.

Meng Kui's martial arts are indeed very powerful, almost the same as Cao Wuxian, and Meng Kui is now about the same age as Zhao Jun, only sixteen or seventeen years old, and when his body develops in the future, he must be a powerful general.

Because of his straightforwardness and simple mind, Yingbu and Cao Wuxian, including Zhao Jun, get along well with others and often talk about everything.

On this day, Meng Kui was outside the military tent, in a no-man's land, and suddenly found Zhao Jun and said: "Brother Zhao Jun, tomorrow there will be a military meeting in the Tianshuai camp, and the generals above and the two partial generals directly under the scout battalion will be present."

I think that tomorrow your team will be in charge of the sentry of the Shuai Tent Gate, and by the way, the generals who are also familiar with the Northern Army will show their faces in front of them. ”

"Military council? What's the matter? ”

Zhao Jun was stunned for a moment, generally speaking, only very important military affairs in the army will hold military meetings, similar to the party committee and board of directors in later generations.

Meng Kui was a little dissatisfied, and said: "It's not Ruan Weng Zhong's old horseman, he is dissatisfied with my father being the commander, and he has always wanted to fight for it.

This time, the emperor issued an edict to form a border army intelligence battalion, you know, by the way, you were also present at the time.

He is now insisting on arguing with my father, and he has been unable to hold on, and His Majesty's will is limited and there is a date, there is no way, only the military discussion. ”

"Border intelligence battalion? Didn't you say the 3rd Scout Battalion of the Border Army? And there are only 500 people, so it has nothing to do with Deputy Marshal Ruan's competition for the position, right? Zhao Jun was a little confused.

Meng Kui was stunned for a moment, and finally looked around again, and after making sure that there was no one, he whispered: "I'll tell you, in fact, this is not a secret on it."

In fact, someone in the court spoke to the emperor, and His Majesty had doubts about the affairs of the frontier, so the third scout camp was established.

And this battalion is mainly responsible for reconnoitering everything in the border army, and then reporting things directly to the imperial court, so it is privately called the imperial court's border intelligence battalion.

I heard that the imperial court will also send a small number of backbone members directly to ensure the authenticity of the information, but His Majesty still trusts my father, so we still choose the generals and main members. ”

Zhao Jun was stunned, he didn't expect such a thing, however, Meng Kui's mind is quite simple, and his words are sincere, although he already knows it, but he has no defense, so he is clear to himself, which shows that Meng Kui really regards himself as a friend.

But after thinking about it, Zhao Jun still asked: "Since the emperor trusts Meng Shuai, and the frontier is something that cannot be discussed, even if Deputy Marshal Ruan fights, it is impossible to influence Meng Shuai, let alone play any role in the battle for the handsome position, right?"

And although the edict said that it was for that, what Hun prince set up the third scout battalion, but I think that since the imperial court sent people down, it proves that some people are dissatisfied with the frontier and want to install eyes and ears.

Moreover, I think that since Deputy Marshal Ruan has been able to compete for power in Lintao for many years, has won prestige in the army, and is the commander of the first army, he is not so small-minded, and it is impossible to use the intelligence battalion to slander the commander. ”

After hearing this, Meng Kui sighed and said: "Actually, this matter is in the end, and I have to talk about his grievances with my father, who robbed him of the position of the chief general of the Northern Army, and he is a senior in the army, so he feels that he is older than my father, so he is naturally dissatisfied."

But the most important thing is the second point, political disagreement, my father advocated the construction of Henan and the Great Wall first, and after accumulating enough strength, he defeated the Xiongnu in one fell swoop.

But Deputy Marshal Ruan has always wanted to divide his troops with his father, and he himself led a road of soldiers and horses to attack the Huns, hmph, he just wanted to be in a hurry to make contributions and seize the position of his father's commander. ”

Zhao Jun was stunned for a moment, but he thought about it carefully, I'm afraid that Meng Kui has personal emotions, although Ruan Weng Zhong's political views have personal interests, but they may not be unfeasible, Meng Tian's political views are also very reasonable, but don't you also want to stabilize your relationship between the army and China by the way?

After thinking for a while, Zhao Jun asked: "This, listen to what you mean, it seems that the intelligence battalion has something to do with the political opinions of the two marshals?" ”

Meng Kui nodded and said: "Well, I listened to my father's words, this intelligence battalion is not only because the imperial court is not at ease with the frontier, but also because the emperor wants to know more about the situation on the frontier, to see whether to adopt my father's opinion or Deputy Marshal Ruan's opinion." ”

"So, the current emperor is still hesitating?" Zhao Jun was stunned for a moment, and then spoke: "However, since Deputy Marshal Ruan is embarrassed and Shuai Meng can't make a decision alone, then I'm afraid that the final result of the military discussion is still the one with more people."

I heard that there are fewer generals who support Meng Shuai, even if he wins the support of General Wang Li, he may not be able to gain the upper hand, right? ”

After hearing this, Meng Kui shook his head and said: "No, there are also five major frontier politicians who have been added this time, and their opinions are also quite important, it depends on who can recommend the candidate at the military conference to be recognized by the majority of the people and stand still." ”

Of course, it can also be seen that the emperor attaches great importance to the frontier, and almost for a period of time, all the military and political power was handed over to Meng Tian, and it is no wonder that the emperor will set up the third scout battalion of the border army.

Of course, it is not that he does not distrust Meng Tian, the Qin army has a strict military system, and most of the soldiers who are loyal to the Qin State, even if Meng Tian wants to rebel, it is difficult to mobilize too many soldiers and horses without the other half of the emperor's soldiers.

It's just that he can't directly control the frontier, and the emperor definitely doesn't worry about the affairs of the frontier, so he has this move.

"Okay, the safety of the handsome tent will be handed over to me, Brother Meng, thank you." Zhao Jun nodded and said to Meng Kui, he knew that Meng Kui let him show his face for his own good.

Meng Kui's thick face smiled and said, "It's all brothers, what's polite." ”

After that, Meng Kui told Zhao Jun about some things that should be paid attention to, and Zhao Jun carefully wrote them down, which was equivalent to the meeting of the People's Hall in the previous life, and the security work must not be sloppy.

It's just that Zhao Jun vaguely realized that this might be an opportunity for him to get ahead in the army.

ps: Today is the opportunity for Zhao Jun to take the position, and it is also an opportunity for meat buns, next week will be Sanjiang strongly pushed, thank you for the support of all the brothers in the past month and a half, I hope you will continue to support our book to the most violent degree, thank you!
