"Hey, we were actually transferred to serve as General Li's short-range soldiers."
"It must be A Tuo's credit. During the Jingu training before, General Li praised A Tuo very much. Now we have made great achievements in Gubo Township and are favored by the general. It must be because of this that he transferred us
Enter into short-range soldiers."
When Zhao Tuo returned to the military camp and announced that his troops had been transferred to Li Xin's short-term soldiers, everyone was shocked.
Black Butt suddenly beamed: "That's great. Nai Gong can actually become a general's short-sighted soldier. If I go back to my hometown, I can show off to others for the rest of my life."
Everyone else also nodded in agreement. It is indeed a great honor to serve as a soldier for the general.
Moreover, the status of short-term soldiers in the military camp is slightly higher than that of ordinary troops.
The so-called short soldiers are often referred to as the general's personal bodyguards.
According to the Qin law, the Qin army's hundred generals need to charge into the battle. When they reach the level of five hundred masters, they can stand at the rear and command. They no longer need to risk arrows and stones to fight on the front line, and they are also protected by corresponding short soldiers.
In the military system of the Qin State, the number of short-term soldiers was generally one-tenth of the number of soldiers under the general.
The five hundred masters have fifty short soldiers, the two to five hundred masters have one hundred short soldiers, and at the level of captain, there are a thousand short soldiers. As for general Pi, the number varies, but they are all at least two thousand or more.
Since they are the general's personal guard, they must stay behind the battlefield to protect the general and cannot easily go to the battlefield to fight. In this way, although the danger of dying on the battlefield can be avoided, the chances of decapitation and meritorious deeds will naturally be reduced.
.
Compared with the joy and surprise of others, Zhao Tuo was very troubled in his heart.
After all, if he goes to the battlefield, he can still fight, rely on the beheading theory, and then rise to the rank of doctor. But if he becomes a short-term soldier, it will be difficult to go to the battlefield in person.
Although when the battle reaches a fierce stage, short soldiers may be sent to the battlefield as fresh troops, but judging from the current comparison of Qin and Yan's combat power, such an opportunity may be difficult to occur.
Moreover, although short-term soldiers are better treated than ordinary soldiers in terms of food, housing and transportation, there are also risks in this profession.
This is what Qin Fali said: "fight until the death of the officials, but neglect the soldiers."
If a general guarding a short force dies in battle, all the short soldiers will be beheaded, unless they can kill enemy generals of corresponding levels to avoid death.
Think about it, if the officer you were protecting was shot by a gun on the battlefield and died on the spot...
However, Zhao Tuo was not worried about this. In history, Li Xin would lead the battle against Chu in the future, and it was impossible for him to die here.
Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo actually breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he longs for promotion and wants to climb to a high position as soon as possible, he is not a fool who dislikes his fate.
Now that the Qin-Yan war has reached its final stage, King Yan is willing to shrink his troops and defend Jicheng. Wang Jian wants to destroy Yan, so he can only attack the capital of Yan.
Under such circumstances, the Qin army's attack on the city must have resulted in heavy casualties, far exceeding casualties in the field.
Although merit is good, life is also very important. By becoming Li Xin's short-term 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 just for him, but also for Black Buttocks, Xiaobai and others. Now that everyone has earned a title, it is a good thing as long as they can return home alive, so there is no need to fight to the death.
Only Xiqigu didn't get any promotion in his title after joining the army, and he was as troubled as Zhao Tuo.
"Okay, the second and third sons should pack up quickly. They will go to the city with me later to guard the general."
After Zhao Tuo gave instructions to everyone in the village and asked Shejian to supervise them, he left.
He still had something to do. He had to explain it to his superior, Lord Five Hundred, and accept the subordinates assigned to him from another village.
Zhao Tuo's original direct superior was Hundred General Lu Wu. In the previous operation of the Qin army to collect towns, he also brought a group of people to garrison a town.
Lu Wu was lucky. There was a wealthy family with a big surname in the village, who was willing to surrender like the Gu family and help the Qin army pacify the villagers.
As a result, Lu Wu may not have enjoyed a high-quality life in Qin, and was deceived by the wealth and beauty of the wealthy family. Not only did he sleep with other people's junior princes, but he also accepted a lot of bribes.
Lu Wu was actually a little smart, he knew how to distribute the wealth to his subordinates, so that each soldier got a little money, so as to seal his reputation.
But unfortunately, several of his subordinates were unwilling to take risks for a little money, fearing that they would be ganged up on if the affair was revealed, so they competed to accuse him of rape (you will be rewarded for reporting rape, and you will get money for being honest), which led to the revelation of the matter.
Lu Wu, as a general, knew the law and broke the law. He not only accepted bribes, but also tried to cover up others' stories. He added more crimes to his crimes. He should have been severely punished and became a prisoner. But fortunately, he had a title and could use it to offset his crimes.
Although Lu Wu has not been punished today, the crown on his head has been taken away.
One night of romance and possessions made him lose all his hard work for decades.
Not only was all the money Lu Wu had embezzled confiscated, but his title was also lost. The hundreds of acres of fields and homesteads he had received from his title in his hometown in Guanzhong were all taken back.
After receiving Lu Wu's money, those soldiers who had not yet reported the rape also received corresponding punishments. Each one of them complained endlessly and regretted it.
When Zhao Tuo went to visit the Five Hundred Masters, he met Lu Wu who had just been punished.
The two looked at each other, and Zhao Tuo quickly raised his hands in salute.
"Zhao Tuo, you are done with it, so there is no need to treat me like this."
Lu Wu murmured, looking at the plate crown on Zhao Tuo's head, he felt lost for a while.
It can be said that things in the world are unpredictable. The former Bugeng Baijiang turned into a white body in a blink of an eye, but the teenage public servant has already put on the crown that belongs to Bugeng.
Zhao Tuo shook his head and said: "Zhao Tuo worships Lu Jun not because of his title, but because of Lu Jun's appreciation. Without Lu Jun's promotion in the past, there would be no Zhao Tuo today. Lu Jun's kindness should be remembered for the rest of his life."
Lu Wu smiled, reached out and patted Zhao Tuo on the shoulder, and said: "You know a lot about kindness. You have already received several titles at a young age, and you are smart and sensible. You are appreciated by General Li.
The future is limitless. I hope you will take me as a warning and don't be confused for a moment. Women and money are the easiest things to attract the eyes, so you should be careful and careful."
After Lu Wu finished speaking, he left lonely. His tall body slumped down, as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant.
Zhao Tuo looked at Lu Wu's back, sighed and shook his head.
This is the reality. Some people earn titles through meritorious service, while others break the law and win titles.
Climbing all the way, walking on thin ice, Zhao Tuo kept Lu Wu's incident deeply in his mind, reminding himself not to let all his efforts go to waste because of a momentary mistake.
After bidding farewell to his former superiors, Zhao Tuo went to find the Lord of Five Hundred to hand over the matter.
Although the five hundred masters in charge of their village had a high status, they knew that the young man in front of them had been recruited as a short-term general by General Li. He did not dare to neglect at all. He politely talked with Zhao Tuo, completed the corresponding procedures, and assigned
The soldiers from another camp and him gathered together a hundred people.
When everything was done, all the one hundred 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 short-term general under General Pi Li Xin.
"Book of Shang Jun: The Territory Chapter": Five hundred lords, the generals have 50 soldiers; 2500 lords, the generals have 100 soldiers; an order of thousands of stones, 100 soldiers; 800 orders, 80 soldiers
, the order of seven hundred, the number of soldiers is 70; the order of 600, the number of soldiers is 60; the country's official title, the number of soldiers is 1,000; the general, the number of soldiers is 4,000. When the officer is killed in the battle, the number of soldiers is lightly,
