"Hey, we were actually transferred to General Li's short soldiers."

"It must be the credit of Ah Tuo, when the golden drum was trained before, General Li praised Ah Tuo. Now that we have made meritorious contributions in Gubo Township, we are even more favored by the generals, and it must be because of this that we will be transferred to the short army. ”

When Zhao Tuo returned to the barracks and announced that his subordinates had been transferred to Li Xin's short army, everyone was shocked.

The black buttocks suddenly smiled: "This is good, Naigong can actually become a general's short soldier, if I return to the township, it will be enough for me to show off to others for a lifetime." ”

Everyone else also agreed, and it was indeed a great honor to be a short soldier for the general.

Moreover, the status of short soldiers in the barracks is a little higher than that of ordinary troops.

The so-called short-handed soldier is often said to be the main general's personal guard.

According to the Qin law, the Qin army's commander and hundred generals need to charge into battle, and when they reach the level of five hundred masters, they can stand in the rear and command, and they no longer need to risk arrows and stones to fight on the front line, and there are corresponding short soldiers around them.

In the military system of the Qin State, short soldiers are generally one-tenth of the number of generals under them.

The 500 lords have 50 short soldiers, the 2500 masters have 100 short soldiers, and there are 1,000 short soldiers at the rank of captain, and as for the generals, the number varies, but at least they are more than 2,000.

Since it is the main general's personal guard, it is natural to stay behind the battlefield to protect the main general, and it is not easy to go to the battlefield to fight, so that although the danger of dying on the battlefield can be avoided, the opportunity for decapitation and meritorious service will naturally become less.

Compared with the joy and surprise of others, Zhao Tuo was very entangled in his heart.

After all, if he goes to the battlefield, he can still fight, relying on the theory of beheading, and then rise one level to the rank of doctor. But if you are a short soldier, it will be difficult to go to the battlefield again.

Although when the battle reaches the white-hot stage, it is possible that short soldiers will be sent to the battlefield as a new force, but judging from the current comparison of Qin Yan's combat strength, such an opportunity may be difficult to appear.

Moreover, although the treatment of short-term soldiers in terms of food, shelter and transportation is a little better than that of ordinary soldiers, it is also risky to do this business.

It is what Qin Fali said, "Fighting and killing officials, and light and short soldiers".

If a short-range general dies in battle, all short-quarters will be decapitated, unless they can kill the enemy general of the corresponding rank.

Think about it, if the officer you are defending is shot by a drain on the battlefield and hangs up on the spot......

However, Zhao Tuo was not worried about this, in history, Li Xin would lead the war against Chu in the future, and it was impossible to die here.

Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo actually breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he is eager to be promoted and wants to climb to a high position as soon as possible, he is not a fool who is too fateful.

Now that the Qin-Yan War has reached the final stage, Yan Wangxi has reduced his forces to defend Jicheng, and Wang Jian wants to destroy Yan, so he can only attack Yandu.

In this case, the Qin army must have suffered heavy casualties in the siege, far exceeding the casualties in the field.

Although the credit is good, but the small life is also very important, as Li Xin's short soldier, Zhao Tuo at least does not have to worry about being sent as a death squad to attack the city.

This kind of idea is not only for him, but also for Black Buttocks, Xiaobai and others, everyone has now saved up their titles, as long as they can return to their hometown alive, it is a good thing, why bother to fight to the death.

Only Xi Qigu did not improve his title at all when he enlisted in the army, and his heart was as entangled as Zhao Tuo.

"Okay, the second and third sons quickly pack up, and they will go to the city with me later, the general of the guard."

Zhao Tuo instructed everyone in Tunzhong to let Shijian supervise on his behalf and left.

He still had business to do, to hand over the five hundred lords to his superiors, and to take over another subordinate assigned to him.

Zhao Tuo's original direct superior was the hundred general Lü Wu, who also took a tun of people to garrison a township in the previous operation of the Qin army to collect the township.

Lü Wu was lucky, there was a big family surnamed Hao in that township, just like the Gu clan, who was willing to surrender and help the Qin army pacify the villagers.

As a result, this Lu Wu may not have enjoyed a high-quality life in the Qin State, and was confused by the wealth and beauty of the big clan, not only slept with someone else's Xiaojun, but also accepted a lot of bribes.

Lu Wu is still a little clever, and he knows how to divide the profits of his property among his subordinates, so that every soldier can get a little money, so as to seal his mouth.

But it's a pity that several of his subordinates are unwilling to take risks for a little money, for fear that they will be conscientious after the incident is leaked, and they compete to accuse each other (the reward for adultery is to get money above board), which leads to the revelation of the matter.

As a hundred generals, Lu Wu not only accepted bribes, but also tried in vain to cover up everyone's mouths, adding crime to crime, and he should have been severely punished and reduced to a prisoner. But fortunately, he has a knighthood and can use it to atone for his crimes.

Although Lu Wu has not been punished, the crown on his head has been taken away.

One night of romance, and his wealth was blind, so that he worked hard for decades, and all of them came to naught.

Not only was all the money that Lu Wu embezzled confiscated, but the title was also lost, and the hundreds of acres of fields and homesteads that were rewarded by the title in Guanzhong's hometown had to be recovered.

After receiving Lu Wu's money, those soldiers who had not yet committed adultery also accepted the corresponding punishment, and they all complained bitterly and regretted it one by one.

When Zhao Tuo went to meet the five hundred masters, he met Lu Wu, who had just been punished.

The two glanced at each other, and Zhao Tuo hurriedly bowed.

"Zhao Tuo, you are no longer changing, you don't have to do this to me."

Lu Wu muttered, looking at the crown on Zhao Tuo's head, and lost his mind for a while.

It is really unpredictable in the world, the former Bubai will be cut white in a blink of an eye, and the teenage boy has already worn the crown that belongs to the non-change.

Zhao Tuo shook his head and said: "Zhao Tuo worships Lu Jun, not because of the level of the title, but because of Lu Jun's appreciation. If there was no promotion by Lu Jun in the past, there would be no Zhao Tuo today. Lu Jun's kindness should be remembered for life. ”

Lu Wu smiled, he reached out and patted Zhao Tuo's shoulder, and said, "You kid knows some kindness." You already have a knighthood at a young age, and you are smart and sensible, and you are even more appreciated by General Li, and his future is limitless. I hope you will take me as a warning, and don't be confused for a while. Women and money are the most attractive eyes, you should be cautious and cautious. ”

After Lu Wu finished speaking, he left lonely. His tall body drooped down, as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant.

Zhao Tuo looked at Lu Wu's back, and also sighed and shook his head.

The reality is like this, some people have made meritorious contributions to the knighthood, and some people have broken the law to win the knighthood.

Climbing all the way, when walking on thin ice, Zhao Tuo remembered Lu Wu's affairs deeply, reminding himself not to make all his efforts go down the drain because of a momentary mistake.

Bidding farewell to the former officials, Zhao Tuo went to find the five hundred masters for handover.

Although the five hundred lords in charge of their tun had a high status, they knew that the young man in front of him had been recruited by General Li as a short-term general, so he did not dare to slack off, politely talked with Zhao Tuo, completed the corresponding procedures, and assigned another tun soldier to join him, making up enough for a hundred people.

When everything was done, all the 100 soldiers under his command were assembled.

Zhao Tuo took a deep breath and led people into Zhuoyi City.

From today on, he will be a hundred short-handed generals under the account of General Li Xin.
