If it was any other centurion, they might have been stunned.
Qin Hu was a boorish old man who had been a centurion for seven years. However, when the commandant said this, his heart did not waver.
"Lord Commandant, Brother Lin Yi has strategy and martial arts. I believe in him!”
The commandant was quite surprised.
"Qin Hu, it's rare for you to see the big picture.”
Qin Hu, this idiot, was full of nonsense."
"My lord, it's a good thing you brought this up today.”
"It's too difficult to be a centurion. I have to write military reports and I can't read, right?”
"I want to go to the battlefield and kill people. Ever since I became this centurion, I have been sitting in the military tent all day.”
The commandant's face darkened. Qin Hu was about to continue when the commandant snorted coldly,"
"Forget it!"
"Although I have the intention to promote Lin Yi, he has only been in the camp for two months and has yet to establish a firm foothold. Today, I'll inform you first. In the future, you can let Lin Yi familiarize himself with all the matters in your camp. When the time comes, promote him to centurion and I'll give you an official position.”
Qin Hu came out of the tent and took Lin Yi's place.
The commandant immediately had a pleasant expression.
"Sit."
"Men, serve the tea."
Lin Yi was a little flattered. The few positions in the main tent were either the advisor, the chief registrar, or the centurion.
Lin Yi chose the chair at the back and sat down, but the commandant waved his hand and asked him to sit in the first row.
"Lin Yi, I heard that the plan to rob the grain carriage this time was planned by you?”
"Lord Commandant, I only know a little about the art of war.”
The commandant smiled indifferently. He was also feeling guilty.
He knew that Lin Yi was giving him face. He had led the 2nd and 3rd Battalions to victory.
His side had been defeated in a mess…
"Good, good!"
"Talent is hard to come by. You've only been in the camp for two months and your foundation is shallow. I have the intention to give you a military position, but your qualifications are still insufficient. You can only find an opportunity to be promoted.”
"Are you willing?"
"Thank you for your promotion, sir!"
The commandant stroked his beard and laughed.
"Lin Yi, I treat you as my confidant, so I'll tell you something from the bottom of my heart today.”
"With this battle, it is only a matter of time before I am promoted to lieutenant. If that is the case, the position of commandant will definitely be yours.”
"This subordinate understands."
"Alright, go find the registrar to collect the reward.”
Before he left, the commandant stopped Lin Yi and gave him a document.
He opened it and saw the words:
"Lin Yi has made a great contribution. He will be rewarded with 20 taels of gold.”
Good heavens, 20 gold taels!
One tael of gold was equivalent to ten taels of silver, which was equivalent to two hundred taels of silver.
When Lin Yi carried the silver and passed by the 1st and 2nd Battalions, everyone was drooling.
"Brother Lin Yi, why are you giving out rewards again?”
"Since you guys are rich, aren't we going to be rich soon?”
The bodyguard who helped transport the silver shouted,
"Brother Lin Yi is also called by you?”
"Now, you have to call him captain!"
"Yes, I apologize to the captain.”
Lin Yi raised his hand to indicate that it was fine and sent the silver back to the third camp.
The 2nd Battalion discussed in private,"
"He hasn't been in the army for long, right?"
"Two months. I killed my way out of the last batch of recruits.”
"This promotion speed is too fast! He skipped the position of sergeant and became a captain, and in just a few days, he became a captain again!”
"How did we win the battle? Wasn't it all thanks to Captain Lin? If you have the ability, you should go too. You're already a captain now. What are you still jealous of?”
……
Lin Yi assisted Qin Hu in distributing the reward silver.
But at this moment, he still had one thing that needed to be resolved.
The commandant had promoted him and even secretly handed the entire Third Battalion over to him.
However, this gave Lin Yi a difficult problem. Qin Hu, the centurion, was equivalent to being figureheads. If the morale of the army wanted to be one, there could not be any discord. Otherwise, it would become a plate of loose sand sooner or later.
In the military tent, Qin Hu handed over official documents, defense arrangements, military books, and other things to Lin Yi.
However, Lin Yi placed these back on the table.
"Big brother doesn't need to be like this. I'm only responsible for giving advice when helping big brother accomplish things. Big brother still needs to make the final decision.”
"Hey, why are we still being so polite? I've already prostrated myself in front of you, and I won't care about these things. I'll hand over the 3rd Battalion to you in the future, and I'll be able to fight in the front lines myself.”
Lin Yi poured tea for Qin Hu and asked,
"How's your family? I heard that Godmother is seriously ill and the family is in trouble?”
"This…How did you know?"
Lin Yi had talked to Pang Dali about this before and went to find a scout.
Scouts were divided into two parts, the open and the dark. The open was to scout for enemy intelligence and run around.
The ones in the dark could even record what the soldiers and generals did every day, so they had more information.
With his previous friendship with the scouts, it was not difficult to get this information.
"Big brother, are you in a hurry to wait for the half-year deadline to come up, send a letter home and some money to buy medicine for this old lady?”
Qin Hu nodded, and the eight-foot-tall man instantly burst into tears.
"There's no one else in my family. My old mother is seriously ill and bedridden. My daughter-in-law's health is not good either.”
"Sigh! It's been eight years and I haven't gone back. How can I not miss home?”
"That's true."
Lin Yi said,
"Then how about I draw a portrait of Big Brother and send the silver back home?”
Qin Hu was stunned for a moment before he sighed.
"Brother, I also want to send the silver back immediately. However, the messenger only comes once every half a year. There are still two months before the half-year deadline.”
"Then don't worry about it. I have a way."
"I heard that the old lady's illness costs a lot of money. Today, the commandant rewarded her with 20 taels of gold and sent them back together. I will privately contact a messenger to send this trip, but big brother must not leak the news.”
"Aiya!"
Qin Hu said excitedly,
"Brother, if you can really help me, my life will be yours from now on!”
As he spoke, Qin Hu had already knelt in front of Lin Yi...
