Chapter 47: The First Step
After Juniper finished speaking, the two guards beside him directly drew their swords and stood up. It seems that this is not the first time they have done such a thing.
Lu Xiao didn't know much about Juniper. I only know that he is a brainless and reckless man, and he likes martial artists with strong force values. Therefore, when Lu Xiao heard that the scouts were Juniper's subordinates, he decided to help them.
In ancient times, it was difficult to mix without origin. In this era, although it was not like the Song Dynasty, civil officials completely crushed military attachés. But it's not far off.
Within the civilian-bureaucratic group, the relationship is intricate. It's not just about knowledge, it's about diplomas, it's about relationships. And Lu Xiao doesn't have these things. Or even if he had, he would not be recognized. Because the right to interpret knowledge is in the hands of a fixed group.
On the military attaché's side, at the level of the relationship network, he is also not willing to give in too much. But there is a strange juniper in the middle. In other words, this person is a military attache role model promoted by the civilian clique.
See? To be a military attaché is to be such a brainless and reckless man. At the same time, Juniper is also a back-handed man prepared by the civilian clique. Once the war is lost, throw the juniper out and take the blame.
Historically, they have done the same. Almost all the blame is placed on Juniper. By that time, the junipers had already died in battle.
In Lu Xiao's calculations, this person should be the best and least fooled high-level in this battle of Sarhu. said that he was fooled because what he admired the most was Takeo. As long as you have kung fu, you can be reused.
It's hard to be fooled, because he is different from those civil officials. He plays with you for real. You said that you were good at kung fu, and he directly asked someone to cut you with a knife. hacked to death, it means that kung fu is not good. If you can't cut it to death, you can have something to eat.
Now Lu Xiao is facing this situation. Juniper knew he had injuries and was extremely tired. But still let the two guards go together. In order to test Lu Xiao's so-called unsuitable bravery.
The captain's face on the side turned green. I knew he wouldn't be so exaggerated.
But Lu Xiao doesn't care, in fact, this is the test that is most in line with his mind, simple and direct. And it happens to be what he does best.
The two guards obviously didn't take Lu Xiao in their eyes. Being able to be a personal guard by Juniper's side, they obviously have a bit of kung fu. It's just that it's still not enough to see in front of Lu Xiao.
"Since it's the intention of the chief soldier, then I'll be ugly. Are you ready, two? ”
The word has just been exported. Lu Xiaoren has already drawn his sword. In the dimly lit tent, Juniper saw only a glimmer of light. Then Lu Xiao had already withdrawn two steps. And his two guards had already retreated with shameful faces. On the leather armor on their chests, there were already two knife marks.
Lu Xiao didn't continue to make a knife, because his strength actually couldn't support this kind of fast knife again.
"The subordinates are incompetent!" The two knelt down in front of Juniper and pleaded guilty. Who knows, Juniper Li ignored the two of them. rushed directly in front of Lu Xiao.
"Good, good, good, good knife technique. I've seen a lot of so-called knife masters in my life, but those people together can't compare to the two knives you just had. This is the real master. I now believe that you have the courage of a thousand people. Okay, good, Lu Wenzhao!! ”
Juniper shouted, and a man ran in.
"Commander-in-Chief."
"What, hurry up and find me the best medicine for the wound, and ask the best doctor to come and treat this Lu Xiao's wound. I tell you, if anything goes wrong with his wounds, I'll ask you. ”
Lu Wenzhao responded helplessly. He is a garrison in Juniper's army, and a five-rank military attache in the Eight Classics. Responsible for logistics. It stands to reason that this little thing is worth getting him to come forward.
However, he also knew Juniper's temper, and he must not debate with him at this time. If you lose the debate, he'll whip you. If you win, he'll cut off your head. This is a stubborn donkey, and it has to be brushed along the hair.
"The subordinate officer received the order. Presumably, this is the warrior who captured a Niu Lu alive from near the Tartar camp and retreated. ”
"Warriors don't dare to be, mountain and grass people, Lu Xiao."
"Mountain grass people?" Lu Wenzhao suddenly showed a surprised expression. Of course, Lu Xiao could tell at a glance that he was pretending. But this matter naturally cannot be explained. Because Lu Wenzhao is obviously trying to be good to himself. The meaning of this is obviously to remind Juniper that he has not yet given himself the credit.
Juniper also remembered this. Then he asked a question that almost made Lu Wenzhao fall headlong.
"Grandma's, I almost forgot. This, caught a Niu Lu, how should this credit be calculated? ”
The corners of Lu Wenzhao's mouth twitched, and he resisted the desire to complain. replied.
"My lord, Lu Zhuangshi, is not a person in our army. There has never been such a case before. Therefore, there is no precedent to follow, so it is better to ask the adults to decide directly. ”
In fact, if you want to find a basis for this kind of thing, you can always find it. The various laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty are actually quite perfect. But Lu Wenzhao is a personal essence. He knew that if he made a bunch of juniper's most hated laws to restrain him at this time, it would definitely make the lord unhappy.
Everyone can see that Juniper is happy today. Then Lu Wenzhao naturally couldn't sweep away the interest of the leader. Therefore, it is the best choice to come by the temperament of the leader.
You know, Juniper is a general soldier. In this army, no one would disappoint his interest in this little thing. Even the eunuch who supervised the army would not offend Juniper in such a trivial matter. After all, this guy really dares to cut people.
"That's right, I think about it. In this way, you will come to my account first and be a general banner. When the battle begins, you go to the front line, kill a few more Tartars, and I will give you a hundred households. ”
As soon as these words came out, the people in the entire tent couldn't help but feel a wave of envy, jealousy, and hatred. Even Lu Wenzhao couldn't help but want to stop it. But in the end, I held back.
Again, this reward is a bit heavy. But when it comes to the whole army, it is just a dispensable petty official. No one would oppose a general soldier for such a trivial matter.
What he really wants to complain about is that in the process of going from the people to the officials, I don't know how many people can't cross it after exhausting the hard work of several generations. When he arrived at Lu Xiao, he was directly a seven-rank military attaché. This can already be said to be a step to the sky.
The key is that Juniper even said in public that as long as he made a contribution, he would immediately rise to 100 households. This kind of treatment is impossible to say that people are not envious, jealous and hateful. However, Lu Wenzhao complained in his heart, and he quickly responded.
Juniper left excitedly. But Lu Wenzhao stayed.
"Congratulations to Mr. Lu for raising the flag." Lu Wenzhao congratulated Lu Xiao.
The adult laughed. It's just a bit of luck. But when I first joined the army, I didn't know anyone. This follow-up procedure still requires a lot of trouble from Lu Shoubei. ”
Lu Xiao was polite, and at the same time stuffed a bulging money bag into Lu Wenzhao's hand.
In fact, according to Juniper's attitude today, as long as he speaks, Lu Wenzhao will definitely do it for him. But this kind of thing in the workplace, the other party can not do it, but you can't help but express it. After all, Lu Wenzhao is his superior.
Lu Wenzhao accepted the money bag without a trace, saying that he would register Lu Xiao's identity as soon as he returned. In this way, Lu Xiao's identity as the general flag can be confirmed as soon as possible.
At this point, Lu Xiao has taken the first step in this world.
