Turbulent Times Chapter 11: Promotion
In short, before Wang Junlin came, he had already thought up the draft, and there were some skills in the process of speaking, such as avoiding the important and taking the light, not talking about the fact that he escaped at the first time in the North Dao Canyon, but highlighting his credit and hard work as much as possible. At the same time, he intentionally or unintentionally points out that there may be spies in Cheqi Mansion in Tianshui County colluding with the Qiang Ge Dao Department.
During the whole process, Yu Juluo and other civil and military officials in the tent asked questions from time to time, and Wang Junlin was able to answer them fluently. Moreover, when Wang Junlin narrated, his expression was calm and his logic was reasonable, which left a deep impression and strong persuasive power on Yu Juluo and others.
"In this way, Tuyuhun's attack on our Jincheng County was actually a long-planned plan by the Western Turks, and they secretly joined forces with Tuyuhun and the Qiang Gedao Department to launch an attack." Yu Juluo finally knew the truth and finally came to a conclusion.
After a pause, Yu Juluo said to the left and right: "Order the whole army! General Yin Yanglang and above will come to the camp of the Chinese Army immediately for military discussions."
With a promise from ten messengers, they got on their horses and galloped away in ten directions.
Then, Yu Juluo glanced at Wang Junlin, and said: "You said that the military situation is extremely important, and it came in a timely manner, um... I always lead the army with clear rewards and punishments, and I want to record great achievements for you and promote you." The military rank is a reward, but you are Han Ziliang's personal soldier, although this commander is in charge of the entire army, it is not easy to bypass Han Ziliang and promote your military rank."
When Wang Junlin heard this, his heart sank, and he said: "I would like to report to the governor, although I am a soldier of General Han, but in fact I only have a relationship with General Han once, and I have not fulfilled any soldier's duty so far. job."
Yu Juluo was a little surprised, and said, "Why?"
Wang Junlin didn't dare to hide anything, so he quickly told the truth about how he met Han Ziliang in Maiji Town, how he offended the Zhang family, and how he did not hesitate to seek Han Ziliang's protection and agreed to be his personal soldier in order to save his benefactor, Chen Xiaoliu, etc. Tell the beginning and end of the series one by one, including his sneaking into the Zhang family at night to kill and save people, without any concealment or distortion.
Wang Junlin said these things because of three benefits to him, one is that Yu Juluo doesn't have to worry too much about Han Ziliang, and rewards him heavily and even reuses him. The second is that this incident can also demonstrate his ability and extraordinaryness, and he is a person who is grateful and repays kindness. Thirdly, Yu Juluo knew that he had an enmity with the Zhang family, and then combined with the aforementioned incident of the Qiang's sword and sword department robbing the grain and grass convoy, wouldn't there be some doubts?
But before Yu Juluo could speak, a civil servant standing next to him suddenly stood up and cupped his hands to Yu Juluo, and said, "The governor, I have a good friend named Liu Zhiwen, who was the former magistrate of Qingshui County. I heard him say that the Zhang family in Maiji Town is domineering, and what Wang Junlin said is completely true, and I also heard that the Zhang family secretly has large business dealings with Tuyuhun and the Ge Dao Department."
Wang Junlin was overjoyed when he heard the words. He did not expect such a coincidence that someone just happened to know the details of the Zhang family.
"In that case, Zhang Yushi, this matter is for you to investigate. If the Zhang family really committed the crime of collaborating with the enemy, this commander will not forgive you lightly." Yu Juluo said.
Zhang Yushi, who spoke just now, said happily: "Don't worry, the commander-in-chief, the officials will definitely investigate this case, and will never let these treacherous people who colluded with other races go unpunished."
When a large army goes out to battle, the accompanying censors are generally supervisors of the army. One is to supervise the fairness of meritorious deeds and rewards; The third is to supervise the combat situation of local officials with the whole army. This time, there are three censors serving as supervisors, one officer and two officers.
No one likes to be supervised by others, so under normal circumstances, generals like Yu Juluo don't like supervising soldiers. Also willing.
Of course, this is also the reason why Zhang Yushi has a deep friendship with the previous county magistrate of Qingshui County.
Zhang Yushi took the order to leave, and Yu Juluo said to Wang Junlin: "Since you have not officially served as a soldier for Han Ziliang, then this commander will promote you to be the commander of the fire. I am handsome and obey orders."
Wang Junlin was overjoyed. Although the chief Huo had a humble official position, he was not even considered an officer. He was similar to the squad leader in the later generations of the army, but the key point was that he directly took orders from Luo Kuluo, and the commander had a personal relationship with Huo. Contains two identities, one is Yu Juluo's personal soldier, and the other is a scout, that is, both a personal soldier and a scout. Such an identity is even superior to lower-level officers such as the middle and lower county lieutenant, Xiaguan order, and deputy lieutenant.
Didn't look at the civil and military officials in the handsome tent who looked at him arrogantly just now, and then looked at him with some kindness in their eyes, and some of them even nodded to him, while everyone inside and outside the tent The soldiers were even more envious.
"Thank you, Chief Governor, I am willing to serve the Chief Executive with my life." Wang Junlin knelt on one knee and said loudly at the right time.
Yu Juluo nodded, he was very satisfied with Wang Junlin's attitude, and said, "Pei Yuanqing, take Wang Junlin down to resettle."
A young general standing by the door stepped out immediately, bowed and cupped his fists and shouted loudly: "No!"
Then he straightened up and glanced at Wang Junlin, Wang Junlin hurriedly said to Yu Guluo, "Resign from your humble position."
Then got up, and followed the young general named Pei Yuanqing out of the handsome tent.
At this time, the entire army, General Ying Yanglang and above, rode their horses to gather in the commander's tent one after another.
Pei Yuanqing took Wang Junlin out of the door and stopped aside. Wang Junlin hurriedly bowed and said, "See General Pei for the humble job, and please take care of him."
Pei Yuanqing nodded expressionlessly, and said: "This general, Captain Guo Yi, Pei Yuanqing, and Ying Yanglang General Yuwen Hanfeng above me. Personal soldier."
Wang Junlin was surprised. According to what he learned about the official system and military system of the Sui Dynasty from Liu Gang, Captain Guo Yi was a sixth-rank military general, and the young general in front of him was only eighteen or nineteen years old. As you know, there has been no war in the Sui Dynasty in recent years, so it can be said that this person either has an extremely extraordinary family background, or has outstanding force or ability. Therefore, there will be this honor.
Thoughts flashed quickly in his mind, and Wang Junlin immediately imitated the way Pei Yuanqing faced Yu Juluo just now, clasped his fists loudly and said "No".
Raising his head, he took a closer look at the appearance of this young general who was a bit too much. He was six feet tall, with sharp eyes and a pair of sword eyebrows, and a pair of slightly delicate phoenix eyes. , his fair skin made him look nothing like a soldier who was exposed to the wind and sun all day, but he was very heroic. In particular, this person's demeanor and demeanor are quite extraordinary, one can tell at a glance that he is from a noble family, not from an official family, but from a powerful family.
Wang Junlin suddenly remembered that the name Pei Yuanqing was somewhat familiar. It seemed to be a character in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and if he remembered correctly, he was a fierce general, but he didn't know more information.
Pei Yuanqing simply told Wang Junlin some rules, and then handed Wang Junlin over to a captain.
This captain is Guo Shubiao, with a beard and a tall man, he looks like a mighty general from his appearance.
Guo Shubiao first took Wang Junlin to receive the blue bright light armor, military uniform, military boots, bows and arrows, and war horses that are unique to Yujuluo's soldiers, and finally brought them to the camp of his men and horses, and immediately shouted: "Li Beitian! Where is Chang Li Beitian!"
As soon as the words fell, a burly man came out of a tent with a dejected expression on his face. Guo Shubiao scolded immediately: "Li Beitian, are you convicted?"
The burly man said with a look of dissatisfaction: "Captain, some boys from the fourth regiment gambled and cheated, and you also know that I don't care how important I am when I fight on the battlefield, so... the attack is a little heavy, Injured two **** from the fourth regiment..."
"Bang!" Before Li Beitian could finish speaking, Guo Shubiao kicked out suddenly, and Li Beitian stumbled.
"I don't have anything to see. The governor is worried about the war these days, and he is in a bad mood. At this juncture, you dare to violate the military regulations, and you are under the eyes of the governor. You are really a life-or-death thing. !" After he finished cursing, he glanced left and right at his subordinates who ran out of the tent, then at Wang Junlin, and said sternly, "Come here, take off Li Beitian's armor and punish me with twenty lashes!"
A thousand people stood at the same place from far or near, not daring to show their atmosphere. Li Beitian was immediately pushed to the ground by two of Guo Shubiao's personal soldiers. He took off his armor, only wearing military uniform, and pouted his buttocks.
"Wait a minute, I took off my military uniform, don't break it." Li Beitian shouted.
The two soldiers did not stop him, and allowed him to take off his military uniform and expose his back.
"Crack! Crack..." A soldier stepped forward, swung his whip, and began to beat him without saying a word. Li Beitian, who was pressed to the ground, gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound.
However, to Wang Junlin's surprise, Guo Shubiao waved his hand after four or five lashes and said, "Okay, the big battle is coming, and there is no time to heal your wounds. But, Li Beitian, don't worry if the fire is long." When it is done, it will be demoted to deputy fire chief."
After a pause, Guo Shubiao shouted: "Wang Junlin."
Wang Junlin immediately understood the meaning of Guo Shubiao, and thought that if he wanted to be in the top position, someone must give up his position. After all, as long as an officer in the army, even a low-level official like Huo Chang, he would be a radish and a pit of.
He muttered to himself, with a solemn expression on his face, he immediately stepped forward, clasped his fists and bowed, and said, "The humble job is here!"
"From now on, you will be the leader of the fifth fire of the waiting team." Captain Guo Shubiao said calmly.
Wang Junlin didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately responded: "I obey my orders."
Guo Shubiao nodded, surrounded by dozens of soldiers, and left on his own.
The 5,000 soldiers around Yu Juluo are all blue iron armored cavalry. They are the most elite troops of the Sui Army. Qi Cao joined the army and other civilian officers.
