First, the imperial envoy came, and then Qin Fang and General Ao and other guerrilla generals were called away by the imperial envoy. Everyone saw this, and they were curious why Qin Fang was called away together. Then General Ao and other generals came out, but Qin Fang did not come back. The soldiers in District 18 were anxious. Han Zhen and others were waiting at the gate of District 18, wanting to know Qin Fang's situation as soon as possible. Now that Qin Fang came back, he summoned ten centurions, and Han Zhen and others were all curious.
However, everyone saw Qin Fang's expression and knew that the situation should not be bad. Because even if Qin Fang wanted to maintain his previous expression, he was too happy in his heart and could not do so.
Han Zhen had a good relationship with Qin Fang, so he said first: "Master Qin, if you have something good to say, just say it directly. Don't be so awkward.
Qin Fang said, "Go to hell... Speaking of which, it is indeed good news for me. I have two things to announce. The first is that I have been promoted and will be transferred in half a month. The second thing is that after I leave, I will take two hundred people with me, and then I will promote a thousand men to captain."
If Qin Fang's promotion was good news for Qin Fang himself, then his promotion to a captain of a thousand men would be good news for everyone.
However, although it was all good news, some people still had self-awareness. Apart from Qin Fang, Han Zhen had the best kung fu among them. If they were to be selected based on a martial arts competition, the captain would definitely be Han Zhen. So after everyone heard this, their excitement subsided.
Yang Baifu asked curiously, "Your Excellency has been promoted? Congratulations, but I wonder where you will be transferred to after the promotion?"
The other centurions also asked, "What position did you get promoted to, sir?"
"Is your Excellency going to the capital?"
"grown ups… "
Qin Fang could see that they were really happy for him, so he said happily, "It's a fifth-rank Wude general, but I will take the surrendered barbarian tribe to other counties and become the city-guarding general there." Although he didn't know what kind of place it would be, Qin Fang was full of expectations and motivation for life there. From this moment on, he experienced the joy of promotion and the joy of success. The fifth-rank Wude general was just the beginning for him. When he first came to serve in the army, it was for his family. Later, he worked hard in the barracks to enrich himself. Later, he got married, and he wanted to climb up to be worthy of his wife.
But at this moment, he suddenly had a feeling again. He wanted to work harder, get promoted again, and climb up further. It was no longer for his wife, but because of the desire that had been lurking deep in his blood. He felt success and honor.
Everyone listened to Qin Fang's words, some were moved and their blood was boiling. Some just listened, confused about the future, or even lived one day at a time.
But no matter what, Qin Fang is their boss, and it is good for them if Qin Fang has made progress. To put it bluntly, if they need anything in the future, they can ask Qin Fang for help, which is also a kind of relationship for them.
Qin Fang chatted with everyone for a while, then said, "Okay, you guys go out and get busy. Han Zhen will stay here. Lao Yang, Lao Lu, you guys wait outside."
"yes."
After the other seven centurions left, only Qin Fang and Han Zhen were left in the tent, while Yang Baifu and Lu Baifu went outside the tent to guard.
Qin Fang said: "After I leave, I can recommend a thousand captains. I recommend you, Han Zhen."
Han Zhen's heart was moved. Although he had never thought that Qin Fang would recommend him, it was certainly not because they were friends. He knew that Qin Fang recommended him because he believed in him and he had confidence in himself. But he was still a little excited to hear Qin Fang say this in person. He was inexplicably happy and excited. "I won't let you down." Han Zhen looked at Qin Fang and said very firmly.
Qin Fang also looked at Han Zhen firmly: "I believe in you." They have come this far together, so of course he believes in me. However, "When I recommended you to Lord Du Ke, I mentioned Wei Wu's name. According to what I meant, I wanted Wei Wu to be a captain of a thousand men. But I gave my opinion at the time. I said that you are suitable to be a captain of a thousand men, while Wei Wu can gain experience as a centurion. With Wei Wu's ability, he is not suitable to be a captain of a thousand men for the time being."
Han Zhen is such a smart man. As the male protagonist, he is naturally very smart. He immediately said, "I understand. I will take care of Wei Wu. Moreover, I will also try my best to catch up with him. Don't let me catch up with you." Du Ke likes Wei Wu to be a thousand-man captain, which means that Wei Wu will not stay in the position of centurion for too long. Therefore, Han Zhen has to work hard.
Looking at his friend, Qin Fang suddenly asked another question: "If I let you follow me to the county town to be a city guard and my partner, and you are also a seventh-rank lieutenant, would you be willing?"
Han Zhen just thought for a while, then shook his head. If there was no choice, he would be willing to make a living under Qin Fang's wing, but if there was a choice, he would rather fight on his own. We are best friends, brothers in life and death, and he doesn't want to be under his wings. If possible, he would rather chase him hard in a place where Qin Fang can't see him, rather than be under his wing. This is probably... with a hint of dissatisfaction and that damn self-esteem. However, this does not damage their friendship.
Qin Fang was not surprised by his answer. He knew Han Zhen was a proud man, so when Du Ke said that he could take 200 people away and nominate two lieutenants, he did not think of Han Zhen. Just like he was unwilling to be under Han Zhen's control if he had a choice.
After Han Zhen walked out of the tent, he signaled to Yang Baifu and Lu Baifu: "The master wants you to come in."
Yang Baifu and Lu Baifu were a little excited, and they didn't know why Han Zhen asked them to come in. So after entering, the two looked at Qin Fang awkwardly.
Qin Fang didn't want to keep the secret, so he said directly: "I will take the surrendered barbarian tribe away this time and settle them down. After that, I will stay in the county over there as the city defense general, so I need troops."
Hearing Qin Fang say this, Yang Baifu and Lu Baifu's heart moved, and they guessed what Qin Fang meant.
Qin Fang did not disappoint them and continued, "The court allowed me to take 200 people with me, and the general guarding the city can have 1,000 soldiers, and the remaining 800 soldiers will be selected locally. So I want to take you and the 200 soldiers under you with me, are you willing?"
Yang Baifu and Lu Baifu looked at each other. If they stayed here, at their age, they would only be promoted to centurions. Even if they had the hope of becoming centurions, how many years would it take? Moreover, the border seemed peaceful, but in fact, there were dangers at any time. As they got older, they couldn't stay here forever. If they became soldiers guarding the city, at least they would be old enough to guard the city gates.
What's more, even if they took two hundred people with them, Lord Qin would not really ask them to guard the city gate.
So, without too much hesitation, Yang Baifu and Lu Baifu leaned over and said, "We are willing." From this moment on, they were no longer soldiers in the barracks, they were Qin Fang's subordinates, directly subordinate to Qin Fang.
Qin Fang looked at them and smiled for the first time: "Don't be nervous. I can promote two seventh-rank lieutenants this time. I am thinking of you. I hope that in the future, we can work together to make the city we protect always peaceful and tranquil."
Yang Baifu and Lu Baifu had never thought that there would be such a good thing. They had already agreed to work with Qin Fang, but they didn't expect that after they agreed, they would have the rank of seventh-rank lieutenant. But if they hadn't agreed just now, wouldn't it be... They were shocked, but fortunately they agreed. It was at this time that they realized that Qin Fang was testing them at the beginning.
If they knew from the beginning that there was a seventh-rank lieutenant position, they would definitely agree without hesitation. However, this was not what Qin Fang wanted. He had to choose someone who trusted him and could be trusted by others, not someone who was after the position. So when he first talked to Yang Baifu and Lu Baifu, he did not mention the seventh-rank lieutenant position.
Yang Baifu and Lu Baifu said in unison: "Don't worry, General, we won't let you down." Their voices were loud and clear, and they were full of confidence in the future.
Qin Fang looked at them and asked, "Do you have any questions?"
"there is none left."
Qin Fang: "In that case, you can talk to the people above. Of course, if they don't want to go with you, you don't have to force them. Just choose soldiers you value from other teams."
"yes."
After Qin Fang discussed this with Yang Baifu and Lu Baifu, he let them make their own arrangements, and then he went to find General Ao. Not only did he need to arrange and promote personnel, but General Ao also needed to do so.
When General Ao saw Qin Fang coming, he waved his hand to let his subordinates go out first. When he saw Qin Fang, he couldn't believe that the man who was promoted to captain last year was actually a general of the fifth rank this year, the same position as himself. You know, he is already in his thirties, almost forty, and Qin Fang is only twenty-two. "How is it, General?"
Qin Fang smiled, and his stern face suddenly warmed up: "Don't make fun of me."
General Ao sighed, "I can't believe it. We were discussing whether to go to the capital before, but in the blink of an eye, we don't have to go. The court has already arranged our journey."
Qin Fang thought back, that was right. At that time, he had also thought of a way out. If he left the barracks and did not go to the capital, he would open an escort agency, but fate took another turn. "General Ao, thank you for your care and promotion over the years. I will remember your friendship in my heart."
Qin Fang can be said to have grown up under General Ao's watch, from a 16-year-old soldier to a 22-year-old fifth-rank general. He was very optimistic about Qin Fang. Moreover, Qin Fang had an advantage over many generals, he had a good wife, which was very important for these reckless generals. General Ao patted his shoulder, and everything was said without words.
