The congratulations of his colleagues, whether sincere or false, did not make Li Xian feel fluttering, and in the face of the faces that were either envious or jealous behind the smiles, Li Xian's performance was the same politeness, and then politely declined all invitations to drink with him to celebrate the dinner. Although the army has run out of food, it is impossible for these generals to make up a meal of wine.

At the age of fifteen, he was promoted to a five-rank general, Mo said that there was no precedent in the Great Sui, even if it was a very special case for people like Li Xian to rise to prominence in the past, but Li Xian understood that this was just a special situation that happened under special circumstances, in fact, even if he did not have other purposes but purely worked for the Great Sui, he did not feel that there was anything to be happy about. First of all, he, a general from the fifth grade, is not reliable at all, not to mention that he may not be able to wait for the class teacher to go back at all, even if he can wait, Xin Shixiong may not send a letter to the military department to promote him.

In this case, promoting Li Xian is just a means for Xin Shixiong to boost morale on the surface, and as for whether there is a deep meaning in it, Li Xian knows it. Although the Great Sui Expeditionary Force won successive battles, its morale had dropped to the lowest point in history. After leaving Echiwende, what was announced was not only a false surrender failure, but the most real outcome was that the army lost the only chance to return safely.

Li Xian has reason to believe that today he has been promoted to the rank of general of the fifth rank and the right to temporarily drive the command of the three folding battalions because of the defeat of Ying Yanglang's general Meng Shidi, and maybe tomorrow this right will be quietly gone away like the yellow urine sprinkled in the sa. Xin Shixiong didn't plan to give him to Wang Rengong, so he had to give Li Xian a promotion. Li Xian was not so confused that he thought that Xin Shixiong was finally impressed by him, and it was just a conflict of interest between several generals. Even if there is no conflict of interest, Wang Rengong shows appreciation for Li Xian, is Xin Shixiong going to fulfill him?

Li Xian was promoted, but what he was worried about was when the next trap would appear, he was too simple and unreasonable to come from the five grades, Li Xian had reason to believe that maybe tomorrow Xin Shixiong would let him take three Zhechong battalions to attack Pyongyang City.

Li Xian has no credit, in fact, no credit at all, why did Xin Shixiong promote him to an official?

Mo said that he didn't stop Yizhi Wende, even if he did, how could the credit be in the hands of a young man like him who had no foundation in the army? What's more, he is not from a family.

It's not a good thing that he's coming out so quickly.

Since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, almost none of the official positions above the fifth rank have fallen on people from civilian backgrounds, even if those officials who control the government or the generals who control the military power want to create a hero, it is by no means a person like Li Xian. Originally, Li Xian didn't feel the exclusion from the family among the grain guards, but from the moment Xin Shixiong announced that he would be promoted to another general, the hostile eyes under the hypocrisy and disguise around him made Li Xian uncomfortable.

Returning to the camp of the grain guards, Li Xian was not in a hurry to move to his new, wider and more comfortable military tent, but sat on a stone in a corner of the camp basking in the sun, and the slowly rising sunlight from the east dragged his shadow closer little by little, and from the side, the young man's handsome face was gilded with a layer of gold.

"Captain, what's wrong?"

Wang Qinian asked Luo Fu, and immediately changed his words: "It's the general." ”

Don't be a general, you can already call it a general.

Luo Fu glanced at Wang Qinian and said lightly: "You can ask yourself." ”

Wang Qinian shrunk his neck and said, "I bet that if I disturb our general in the past at this time, it will definitely not end well."

Luo Fu said: "I bet with you, you go and try it." ”

Wang Qinian was stunned, and shook his head vigorously.

Chen Qi'er couldn't help but want to go over and ask Li Xian what was wrong, Luo Fu pulled him and said, "Let the general think about it, let's not go over and disturb him at this time." ”

Chen Que'er was puzzled: "What are you thinking?" I've never seen someone who has been promoted but has a drooping face, and the three folding camps are in hand, why are you unhappy? ”

Luo Fu gave him a blank look and signaled not to talk nonsense in front of Wang Qinian. Who knew that Wang Qinian sighed faintly at this time and said: "If I was promoted at this time, I wouldn't be happy." ”

Chen Qi'er didn't respect the brigade rate of this Ding Brigade at all, on the contrary, she was a little unaccustomed to Wang Qinian's usual flattery. He snorted coldly and said, "You know a fart!" ”

Wang Qinian was not angry, but said in a very helpless tone: "Yes, I know a fart, but I can smell whether this fart is fragrant or smelly, good or bad." The general is about to leave the grain guards, and now there is a shortage of food in the army, where can it be compared to here? Moreover, after leaving the rear baggage camp and having 3,600 soldiers under his command, will he still watch others fight all day long as before? This fart...... It's really ugly. ”

Chen Qi'er was stunned for a moment and understood what Wang Qinian meant.

Seeing that Chen Qi'er didn't roll his eyes at herself as before, Wang Qinian kindly explained: "Those big people from a family will not allow someone to suddenly appear on their territory, General Xin seems to value our general, but in fact he pushed him to the cusp." What I am most afraid of now is that tomorrow General Xin will order our general to lead the troops to attack the city. At that time, as long as the order is not given to withdraw the army, is 3,600 a lot? The drums of war don't stop for a while, you have to desperately climb the city wall, and death is sometimes very fast, especially when someone wants you to die. ”

"Despicable!"

Chen Que'er scolded.

Wang Qinian pursed his lips and said, "Despicable? What is this? The young talents I have looked at over the years, although none of them are as good as our generals, but there are many captains at the age of twenty, and in the end, which one of them really came out of the top is not from a big family? The young man in the people's family has been played to death too much. ”

Wang Qinian is right, the court is the court of the family, the army is the army of the family, the grassroots people want to integrate into it, and its difficulty is tantamount to climbing the steepest mountain in the world step by step, every step is full of thorns and dangers, even if you are careful, you don't know when to step on the air and fall down the mountain, the higher you climb, the heavier you fall, and there are many people who are crushed. Of course, this precipitous mountain has not been climbed by people from humble backgrounds, but it is an exception that happened under very special circumstances, and such a lucky person Da Sui counted it on one hand.

If the imperial court is compared to a pond, those who come from large families, they are like koi fish who were born to belong to this pond, swimming back and forth in the pond that belongs to them, and if one day there is an ugly black loach in this pond, even if this loach does not pose a threat to them, they will try to squeeze out that annoying fellow.

Yes, there is Luo Yi in the army, and there are people from poor families like Mai Tiecan, didn't they finally achieve the position of a general. However, behind Luo Yi and Mai Tiecane, there are countless children of the poor family who have fame but take such a dream right away. There were so many people who fell to their deaths that they couldn't even find their bodies.

"Why did Xin Shixiong harm our general?"

It is rare for Chen Queer to humbly ask Wang Qinian a question. Wang Qinian, who was a little flattered, nodded to Chen Que'er and said: "Sometimes there is a reason to harm people, but those who are from a family, sometimes they don't even have a reason to harm people." On the surface, it was General Wang Rengong who wanted to ask our general to pass, and General Xin promoted our general in order to keep our general. ”

Chen Que'er waved her hand to stop Wang Qinian from talking, and after straightening out his words, she said with a little headache: "You still call our general the captain, it's too messy." ”

Wang Qinian said in his heart that this big man is really not ordinary stupid, and what he said is already very clear. But since Chen Qi'er finally expressed his intention to seek advice with an open mind, Wang Qinian had no choice but to be an endless teacher.

"General Xin didn't really value our captain when he left the captain, on the contrary, he was afraid that he had bad intentions towards the captain in his heart."

He subconsciously looked left and right, and when he saw that there was no one else, he continued: "Our captain shouldn't take you to chase Yizhi Wende, he Xin Shixiong didn't chase him out, what kind of limelight is your little captain of the grain guard?" According to the rules, even if our captain wants to contribute, he should go to General Xin first. But it's good now, none of Zuotunwei's army has moved, but more than a dozen people who protect the grain have gone out to chase Yizhi Wende, and Xin Shixiong doesn't know it! ”

"If we catch up with Yizhi Wende, our captain will be a favor and give this credit to Xin Shixiong. But Yizhi Wende didn't catch up, would Xin Shixiong feel comfortable? ”

Chen Que'er said angrily: "Then it's better to go to Zuo Wuwei, when General Wang Rengong talked to our captain yesterday, our captain should have agreed, the captain is so smart, I don't believe he didn't expect Xin Shixiong to target us." Damn, it's not the one who chases it out and chases us, what the fuck is this! ”

"Go to Zuo Wuwei? Haha......"

Wang Qinian finally couldn't help but laugh at Chen Qi'er: "If you really go to Zuo Wuwei, you will be stupid and confused." ”

"What do you mean?"

Chen Qi'er was puzzled.

Wang Qinian glanced at Li Xian, who was contemplative in the distance, and said with admiration: "I really admire our captain now, I should have seen through Wang Rengong's mind yesterday." Do you think it's a good thing for Wang Rengong to invite our captain to Zuo Wuwei? He's really a fucking harborer! ”

The more Wang Qinian spoke, the more excited he became, and his face became flushed: "On the surface, he admires our captain, but in fact, he is forcing Xin Shixiong to do something to our captain." A few generals, Yizhi Wende himself sent it to the door and did not detain it, and the critical moment was that our captain chased after him with more than a dozen people, although he did not chase down Yizhi Wende, but this has made the faces of those high-ranking generals have no place to put them. You say, what would they do if His Majesty the Emperor found out about this after he really returned to his teacher? He deliberately lifted our captain up and forced Xin Shixiong to make a choice. ”

"In my opinion, this is still a trick played by Yuwenshu!"

Wang Qinian lowered his voice and said.

Luo Fu sighed, glanced at Wang Qinian and said: "I finally know why you are willing to mess around in the food guards, you said so directly, you are not afraid of offending the generals above, it sounds like you are upset for our captain, I am afraid that you don't want to follow our captain." ”

Wang Qinian's face flushed, and he glanced at Luo Fu and said, "I have already ...... I'm almost fifty years old......"

Luo Fu nodded and said, "Don't worry, if the captain can't think of a way, he will definitely take you with me." Who told you to be so empathetic? ”

Wang Qinian was stunned and looked pained.
