The commandant had come personally. It definitely wasn't anything good!
This was Lin Yi's first reaction.
"Brother, do you think that Lord Commandant caught a whiff of the fishy smell and found out that we stole the warhorses?”
"It's possible. That's why I said that everything depends on the commandant's reaction.”
"Then we'll go and tell them what to do?"
"If he doesn't ask us, he will ask us first.”
Lin Yi didn't expect the commandant to have such a big reaction. They had just tied up the horses when the latter arrived.
If that was the case, the warhorses would probably be lost. If they really couldn't keep the warhorses, they could only extort some other resources to exchange with the commandant.
"Greetings, Milord."
"No need to be polite. Lin Yi, I heard that you guys have done something big recently?”
The commandant looked at Lin Yi with interest. This guy had really given him too many surprises!
Lin Yi pretended to be confused and asked three questions without knowing.
"Recently, we made a deal with the first battalion. I didn't expect that the commandant already knew about this. Half of the equipment of the elite troops under the commandant's command belongs to our third battalion. We have poached the commandant's talent. I hope the commandant won't blame us."”
"
It's not that!" The commandant glared.
Lin Yi rolled his eyes.
"It looks like you're complaining that we seized the military rations and went around Jiangyang City to attract hatred. You've gone too far. I hope you can atone for such a small mistake."”
"Not this one either."
"You deliberately went to Jiangyang City to transport rations and angered General Pingbei of the Wu Dynasty to death. This has dealt a blow to the morale of the enemy. I should reward you.”
"Thank you for your award, commandant!”
"What?"
"
What are you thanking me for?" The commandant's beard was blowing. I only said that I should reward you, but I didn't say that I must reward you!”
"A word from the commandant is like a military order. How can it not count?”
"Daren's words are like gold and jade. If you want a reward, you should reward it. Otherwise, wouldn't our brothers 'hearts turn cold?”
"I…Alright then, I am a commandant of an army. Tell me, what reward do you want?”
"Lord, you can make the decision."
Lin Yi kicked the ball back to the commandant and diverted his attention at the same time.
After thinking for a moment, the commandant said,
"How about this? I'll reward you with two of the three battalions with the new broadswords that the army has obtained."”
Qin Hu's eyes lit up when he heard that!
What was a broadsword?
The blade was made of steel, and one-third of the two-meter-long blade was sharp. The blade was shaped like a willow leaf, but it was extremely sharp!
It could even easily cut through ordinary armor and leather armor. If it was someone with great strength, they could even split a warhorse in half with a saber!
If the 3rd Battalion had these two broadswords, it would be even more effective to form an Eight Extremities Formation!
"Thank you for your reward, commandant."
Lin Yi knew that this was a big deal. Not everyone could have a broadsword, and the commandant even gave him two at once.
Think about it. If your leader suddenly became so generous, what would he do next?
Tu Qiong's dagger appeared. The commandant asked Lin Yi with a smile,
"I've already given you the broadsword. Shouldn't you give me something in return?"”
"What does Milord want? Other than my body, I'll give you anything you want.”
"Lin Yi, don't pretend with me!”
"Sir, how would I dare to pretend? It's just that I really don't know what you mean..."
The commandant was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at Lin Yi. He had given all the benefits to Lin Yi. He had a total of four broadswords in his hands and gave him two!
He actually didn't realize it!
"Ma, ma, ma! Do you want me to say it clearly?"
"What about the horse? To tell you the truth, I am really skilled in feeding and raising horses. If it is a small illness, I can still treat it. However, there is a horse in the cavalry camp that is infected and you are looking for me?”
"I'm talking to you nicely, but Lin Yi, you have to pretend, right?”
"Where's the horse? What about the 16 warhorses? You brat, you just seized a warhorse, and you're still pretending to be here with me. Do you believe that I'll chop off your head and kick it like a chamber pot when I'm angry?!”
Qin Hu trembled in fear. This was the first time he had seen the commandant curse in such a flustered manner.
Seeing that there was nothing he could do to pretend, Lin Yi chuckled.
"Oh…so you want our newly captured warhorses. They're in the backyard. Follow me, follow me."”
"Hmph, at least you're tactful!”
When they arrived at the rear camp and saw the warhorse, even the commandant couldn't open his eyes.
He had been on the battlefield for a long time and had extraordinary vision. How could he not recognize the quality of these high-grade horses?
After looking for a while, the commandant's eyes widened!
"Good boy, you still dare to hide it from me!”
"I want these warhorses!"
Lin Yi looked aggrieved.
"That won't do, Commandant. In order to seize these warhorses, eight of our soldiers died and twenty were seriously injured. We had to pay a high price in exchange for them. If you take away the warhorses just like that, how can we compensate for the blood and tears of our soldiers?”
"
Go, go, go, go!" The commandant looked impatient.
"Don't think that I don't know that you brought 20 people with you, and these 20 people came back unscathed. You still dare to talk to me about eight dead and 20 heavily injured? If it wasn't for the fact that you're a genius, I would have f * cking punished you long ago!”
"You still dare to act without asking me? You see, if the centurions of the 1st and 2nd Battalions were given a hundred guts, would they dare?”
This commandant was also a person who loved talents. He acted without asking for his permission. If it was light, he would be dismissed. If it was serious, he would be beheaded.
Lin Yi had grasped his love for talent, and he also cherished Lin Yi's talent.
If it were anyone else who had angered the commandant to such an extent, they would at least lose a layer of skin if they did not die. Only Lin Yi was still smiling mischievously, and the commandant did not really attack him.
"Like this."
"It wasn't easy for you to snatch the warhorses. Your 3rd Battalion now has 52 people, and you're short of almost half of them. Tomorrow, a new batch of soldiers will arrive.”
"
That's it?" Lin Yi's face fell.
The commandant said angrily,
"I'll give you two broadswords to kill the generals. I'll keep two for my personal guards. I won't even give the elites of the battalion a share. What else do you want?"”
"
This horse is a good horse, my lord." Lin Yi finally said his price.”
"How about this, when the new recruits arrive tomorrow, the other battalions won't care, but our 3rd Battalion must fill up the numbers.”
The commandant was amused when he heard this.
"There are less than a hundred soldiers in total, and your 3rd Battalion has taken 48 of them. What about the remaining 1st Battalion, 2nd Battalion, and my Flying Feathers Battalion, which was almost completely wiped out?”
"That won't do. If you don't fill up the 3rd Battalion, we won't be able to give you the warhorses, and our brothers won't agree! We shed blood and tears and worked hard to seize it. You can't just take advantage of our brothers 'blood, right?”
Seeing that Lin Yi had brought out all the members of the three battalions, the commandant had to take a compromise in order to stabilize the morale of the soldiers
. The 1st Battalion only has 53 people left, the 2nd Battalion has 61 people, and my Flying Feathers Battalion only has 3 people left. I also need to increase my personal guards by 4 people.”
Lin Yi thought for a moment. He definitely couldn't keep the 16 warhorses. It was already a very good deal to exchange them for 33 new recruits to replenish their forces.
Don't act like you've gotten a bargain. Let's finish the deal quickly.
"Humph! How dare you threaten the commandant? Don't fall into my hands next time, or I'll teach you a lesson!”
Although the commandant said this, he was burning with excitement. He had obtained warhorses to replenish the cavalry battalion, and all of them were high-grade horses!
This was enough!
As for sending 33 soldiers to the 3rd Battalion, he already had the intention to nurture Lin Yi. Replenishing replenishing the 3rd Battalion was also part of his plan. Moreover, with Lin Yi's ability, his combat strength would greatly increase after replenishing the soldiers. Who knew what shocking achievements this kid could achieve!
As soon as the commandant left, the scout reported,
"Captain Lin Yi, we found a big fish this time. I'll report to you as soon as I find out anything."”
