Chapter 224 Promotion
Luoshuicheng is a fortress connecting Yizhou and Rongzhou in the Southern Dynasty. An official road connecting Rongzhou, Yizhou, Dongyizhou and Tongzhou passes through Luoshuicheng.
A big river next to Luoshui City is Luoshui. Before the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Wei Dynasty began to war, it was an important waterway connecting the western part of the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Wei Dynasty.
However, the western side of the Southern Dynasty bordered Dangxiang and the other side bordered Tuyuhun. Due to the terrain, since the previous dynasty, Dangxiang and Tuyuhun, which were in a stable corner, have always been in conflict with the wells of the Southern Dynasty.
Therefore, compared with the extremely heavy garrisons of the many border city fortresses bordering the Northern Wei Dynasty in the northern Southern Dynasties, the previous function of the fortress such as Luoshuicheng was not to garrison troops at all, but to only serve as the function of inspecting past caravans and collecting taxes.
There was no trade between Dangxiang, Tuyuhun and the Southern Dynasties. There were only some drug dealers in Luoshui City before, so even compared with some specially produced border towns, it seemed much deserted.
Lin Yi sat on the city wall south of Luoshui City.
It was said that it was a city wall, but it was just a earth wall of two people. It was just mixed with the loess nearby and shattered wood. However, the width of several people walking side by side was not even possible for carriages. It was estimated that no one had repaired it since the end of the previous dynasty. At this time, the edges of the earth wall had collapsed everywhere, with long grass growing.
Not far away from him, Rong Yi lowered his head and stroked the hilt of a thin sword, not knowing what he was thinking about.
There is a camp near this section of the city wall, which is just the granary of some wealthy families. Similarly, with the change of dynasties, it is estimated that the family conditions of those wealthy families have also undergone earth-shaking changes, and these granaries have long become decayed.
But now these granaries are the main camps of the Tie Ce Army.
This shows the treatment of the Tie Ce Army.
The two walked out of Meishan and moved here for several days. Ning Ning had been picked up by his family. Although many people from Tie Ce's army have seen each other in the past few days, they did not know the process of reporting the military merits.
The Tie Ce Army each had military affairs. Except for the two of them who were cultivators who could also experience some different glances and greetings, most of the rest were left uncontrolled and controlled. In the past few days, they were so idle that they seemed to have been completely abandoned in this city and completely forgotten.
"Can it be that the Xiao family really used such a despicable method to let the military treat me as a dead man, and then kept it in this city with delicious food and drink?"
Lin Yi couldn't help but have such an idea.
He felt that if he had changed himself, he might have used this method when he had to deal with someone.
But this idea was quickly interrupted by the footsteps of an acquaintance.
Lin Yi looked at a person walking out of the Tiece Military Camp from the city wall. After a glance, he recognized that it was Xue Jiu who had followed him in Meishan.
"Xue Jiu, why have you become a cripple?"
Lin Yi looked at the old Tie Cejun's head from afar and saw that his feet were limping.
"It's not like the adults must have been bravely injured in the battle. I was not lucky enough to see that I was about to leave Meishan, and I stepped on a stream." Xue Jiu laughed and bowed to Lin Yi, but he didn't go up to the city wall. He just waved to Lin Yi and signaled Lin Yi and Rong Yi to go down and talk.
"How about brothers?" Lin Yi got off the city wall and asked softly.
"The blessing of the boss, none of us were injured or killed." As we were close, Xue Jiu and Lin Yi were not as polite as they were when they greeted him just now.
Listening to the title of "head" of Tie Ce Army and thinking about the loyalty and ruffianity of these Tie Ce Army in Meishan, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel like he was the leader of a horse thief.
Lin Yi found it a little funny, but Xue Jiu's eyes were filled with indescribable respect and emotion.
The situation of friendly forces in these days has also been heard one after another. In addition to their Tie Ce army, the other friendly forces were suffering heavy casualties. Moreover, on the way he came, he also heard about some things that Lin Yi had separated from them in Meishan, which was simply unimaginable for them.
"Speak serious."
Xue Jiu's face turned solemn and said seriously: "I am receiving the order from Lord Chang. Now I will take you to the head office of the Ministry of War to report your duties."
"Reporting from the Ministry of War's Head Office?"
Although Lin Yi didn't know where the main office of the Ministry of War in Luoshui City was, he was born into a general and knew that the main office of the Ministry of War was the promotion of military generals.
"I'm going to be promoted? It seems that the Xiao family has not used such a method."
He couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
"But I don't know what Lord Chang sent me out specifically. I received a military order in Ziyang City before," Xue Jiu explained, and thought of something, and then said, "Lord Chang is Chang Shenyu, the general of our Tie Ce Army."
Lin Yi said lightly, and he knew the title of the army.
The Tianzuo General of the Tie Ce Army is equivalent to the Left General among the guerrilla cavalry, and is the deputy commander of the entire army. As far as he knows, the Tie Ce Army has only four deputy commanders in total.
"It should be that you want to be promoted to your official position?" Lin Yi said casually.
Xue Jiu's heart moved. He had thought about this possibility before, but the promotion in the Tie Ce army was at most a sealed document transfer order. Even if he was promoted by his higher-level general, he had never had such a serious way to report his duties.
"Then you will know where the head office of the Ministry of War is." Lin Yi is most afraid of trouble.
"Just in the camp of Puci Army in the south of the city, according to the official system, Luoshui City is under the jurisdiction of Puci County. There was no headquarters here before. It was only when the war broke out in Meishan that people were transferred from Puci County. When I came, I asked. The historian of the Ministry of War was named Xia, with the single name of Zhen." Xue Jiu was a little uneasy. An old army like him was left to fate when fighting. He knew that the more afraid he was, he might die. Therefore, he was extremely brave. However, things in the officialdom were more difficult to understand and more dangerous for him than on the battlefield.
...
Chengnan Camp.
In a hall in the main office of the Ministry of War.
Bang!
A middle-aged official with a beard and bearded official in the blue brocade dress smiled coldly and slapped a document on his desk.
"Sir, are you?"
Looking at his appearance, a young general wearing a black light armor beside him frowned slightly and couldn't help asking softly.
"You know about Lin Yi, but have you ever thought about how he came to Tie Ce Army before?" The middle-aged official glanced at him and said with a cold voice.
"Is it the master's intention?" The young general was stunned.
"I don't know what the Central Secretariat and the Military Supervision Office do, but the promotion documents have been released, but it's a waste of time. We can't do anything. We just don't take the opportunity to hit him and cause some trouble for him, but we seem too incompetent." The middle-aged official sneered heavily.
