Chapter 41 On the Reward of Merit
Early the next morning, the Qilin Army barracks.
The sky was blue, and the air was filled with the scent of earth.
Last night's heavy rain washed away the smoke and flames that hung over the barracks, as if it had never happened.
However, there are some things that are engraved in the bones and cannot be forgotten for a lifetime.
On the battlefield of the Qilin Army, the soldiers were training hard as usual.
Because they know that yesterday's victory does not mean anything, but only the duty to defend their homeland.
There will be countless more such battles in the days to come, and they will continue to defend this territory by carrying on the legacy of their fallen comrades.
Different from the battlefield, in the big tent of the Chinese army, it is a different scene.
Tuoba Hong sat behind the bookcase, Zhao Ming still stood behind him, while Zhang Zihang and the rest of the lieutenant generals and commanders sat in two rows below.
"In yesterday's battle, although we won the battle, there are still many shortcomings, and we need to make persistent efforts. ”
Clearing his throat, Tuoba Hong's words made all the generals happy.
At this time, Meng Xie sat at the last one on the left, lowering his head and constantly counting the merits with his fingers folded.
"Kill the Tianyin monk, kill the Orion, the black-clothed youth, and burn the Ze Niu ......"
After careful calculation, Meng Xie found that in this war, it seemed that he played a vital role.
It seems that this time he is about to reach the peak of his life, Meng Xie listened to Tuoba Hong's reward happily in his heart, his eyes were round, and his ears looked like rabbits, for fear that when he called his name, he would be omitted.
"Shen Yan!"
Tuoba Hong looked down at the list on the bookcase, and opened his mouth to call out the first name.
I saw a square-faced man wearing armor walking forward and kneeling on one knee in response.
"Shen Yan, the former commander of the third battalion of the Qilin Army, was promoted to the deputy general of the tigers, and temporarily took over the position of commander of the third battalion and the fourth battalion. ”
After announcing the appointment, Shen Yan smiled on his face and responded loudly, "Never let it down, the general loves you." ”
With that, he returned to his seat.
"Zheng Kun!"
Immediately after, Tuoba Hong clicked on the next person.
A man in a Confucian robe stood diagonally opposite Meng Xie, walked a few steps to the bookcase, and saluted with fists.
"Zheng Kun, here!"
Tuoba Hong glanced at Zheng Kun and announced with a smile.
"Zheng Kun, the former commander of the seventh battalion of the Qilin Army, was promoted to the deputy general of the Xiaocai, and temporarily took over the position of commander of the seventh battalion and eight battalions. ”
"General Xie!"
Zheng Kun's voice was not loud, and his answer was also very crisp, without dragging his feet at all.
Looking at the next name, the smile on Tuoba Hong's face was even bigger.
"Zhang De!"
"It's coming, it's coming!"
Meng Xie followed the prestige, saw Zhang De standing up from a corner, wiped his big hand on his military uniform at will, grinned, and walked out.
Standing casually in front of the bookcase, Zhang De didn't clasp his fists and salute, and laughed twice with "hey, hey, hey", even if it was a greeting.
And Tuoba Hong seemed to have long been accustomed to it, nodded at him with his hand, and said with a smile: "You, you are still the same." ”
Scratching his head, he smiled hippiely, and said disapprerovingly: "We are rough people, the general will be a general, don't be surprised." ”
"Cough~" Tuoba Hong coughed lightly, and then said: "Zhang De, a third-class military meritorious, was promoted to logistics commander." ”
"General Xie!"
With a fist hug, Zhang De smiled and walked back.
Looking at the appearance of Zhang De's grinning mouth and revealing his back molars, Meng Xie thought in his heart, this guy has been promoted again, and it seems that he will be bleeding at night.
One after another, Tuoba Hong called everyone in the tent, but only Meng Xie was missing.
At this moment, Meng Xie scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks and kept looking at Tuoba Hong, and found that the other party was looking at him with a smile.
"Meng Xie!"
Tuoba Hong's voice was not loud, but the entire Chinese army tent suddenly fell silent, and all eyes fell on Meng Xie.
Deliberately straining his face, Meng Xie put on an indifferent look, slowly stood up, walked to the center of the Chinese army's big tent, and saluted Tuoba Hong with a fist.
"Meng Xie see the general!"
Tuoba Hong smiled lightly, looked at Meng Xie with his eyes, hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and said embarrassedly: "Meng Xie, Meng Xie, you really embarrassed me, should I give you this credit!"
As soon as these words came out, the big tent was shocked, and the generals looked at each other, not knowing why Tuoba Hong would say this.
"Don't be too much, I'm not greedy at all, like Guiyuan Dan or something, just take a few bottles, just get a few handfuls of treasures, the most important thing is the official position, you can see if you can give it a mention, make a meritorious service." ”
Meng Xie, who had only been pretending for a short time, revealed his original form in an instant.
"Killing the seal of the sky, burning the cattle, just such a great achievement makes me very embarrassed, I don't want to mention the other small credits, I think this is how to do it. ”
Seeing Meng Xie smile helplessly, Tuoba Hong's face immediately straightened, and then he opened his mouth.
"Meng Xie!The former three-star military post officer of the Qilin Army, now promoted to the commander of the Qilin Army's Tanma Battalion, rewarding Ning Yuandan with ten grains, two exercise cheats, and a treasure-level weapon, what do you think?"
With deep meaning in his eyes, Tuoba Hong seemed to ask Meng Xie kindly.
Meng Xie knew what he said, and hurriedly hugged his fists and bowed, "General Xie, but Meng Xie has a small credit, these things are too much, and please take back a little." ”
The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.
For this truth, Meng Xie, who is a person in two lives, has a deeper understanding, and Tuoba Hong's deliberate inquiry just now is actually to protect him.
When he first arrived, Meng Xie's credit for this war alone was enough to make many people blush.
With little qualifications, if he lives in the Qilin Army with these halos, he will inevitably be isolated by others, which is even more inconvenient for Meng Xie's growth.
Out of love for Meng Xie and also being cautious, Tuoba Hong deliberately didn't say what he thought, but just asked softly.
If Meng Xie agreed without hesitation, Tuoba Hong would naturally give it, but at the same time, it also showed that Meng Xie was short-sighted and unusable, although he would reuse Meng Xie in the future, it would be another use.
Joining Meng Xie really heard the meaning and did what he thought, which showed that Meng Xie was a talent worth cultivating, so he naturally wanted to look at it differently.
But now, Meng Xie chose the latter, which made Tuoba Hong very satisfied with him in his heart.
"In this case, the other things outside the body will be withdrawn for the time being, and only you will be promoted to the commander of the Tanma Battalion, what do you think?"
Tuoba Hong made a final decision, so that the generals in the big tent looked at Meng Xie with envy, not underestimating this young man.
Clever, shrewd, good at words, and Tuoba Hong is such a big backer.
It is conceivable that Meng Xie's status in the Qilin Army will rise in the future.
"Plop" knelt on the ground, Meng Xie was about to open his mouth to thank him, but he heard a shout from outside the tent.
"Tuobahong! Wait! This person can't be reused!"
The voice was loud and low, and the tone was also very unpolite, and he directly called Tuoba Hong's name, so that the generals in the tent couldn't help but turn their heads to look.
I saw that the curtain was lightly lifted, and more than a dozen people walked in from outside, led by a general in his forties.
This person's eyes widened angrily, his eyes scanned the entire big tent like electricity, his eyes first fell on Meng Xie, and then looked at Tuoba Hong.
