"Emergency assembly!"
Xia Lan grabbed another flatbread and patted Butcher Chou, who was about to eat porridge, before running towards the drill ground.
The other people in barrack B13 were stunned for a moment before they hurriedly ran out.
The others in the kitchen were also stunned for a moment before they ran out.
Some of them were even holding bowls of porridge…
……
In the Drill Ground, Wang Li stood on the high platform, looking at the many soldiers rushing over with a worried expression.
Even though he had already made preparations for this batch of soldiers to receive more rigorous training.
However, the time was too short. It had only been eight days. He did not know if they could do it.
How many of the 2,000 people who went there would come back alive?
Shaking his head slightly, Wang Li looked at the guards below and said in a deep voice,"Silence!"
Silence returned to the area below. All the guards stared at Wang Li on the platform.
"County Governor's order, Shuoyang County's guards will be immediately assigned to the supply camp to escort the rations to Ping Yang!”
Wang Li read out the order he had received.
Below, many of the guards turned pale after hearing this.
Escort provisions to Ping Yang?
Did this mean that they were going to the battlefield?
Ignoring their reactions, Wang Li turned to the four hundred generals behind him and said,"Other than the regular guards, the rest of the soldiers will follow me to Ping Yang.”
"General Yue, I'll leave the rest of the arrangements to you.”
"The rest of you, follow me to collect the rations. We must set off before noon!”
Wang Li arranged.
"Yes!"
The four hundred generals cupped their hands in response.
……
In barrack B13, everyone was packing their luggage.
Qing, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, had a dull expression on her face, and traces of fear flashed in her eyes.
"Qing."
Xia Lan packed her luggage and shouted at him.
"Station commander…"
Qing came back to her senses and said with a trembling voice,"Are we really going to the battlefield?”
On the side, Butcher Chou rolled up his bedding and shouted,"
"It's good to go to the battlefield!"
"Duke Nai-gong must chop off a few more heads of the Zhao people. At that time, he will also be able to gain the prestige of a noble!”
Beside her, Jian Qian was tidying up his things in an orderly manner. When he heard Chou's words, he could not help but say disdainfully," You're short-sighted. That's all you're pursuing…"
Hearing his taunt, Butcher Chou was immediately unhappy. He threw his blanket on the king's couch and stared at him with his bull eyes."You're a promising man. Tell me, what kind of title do you want?”
"If you want a title, you naturally have to start from the lowest.”
"It would be best if I could get a title of a doctor.”
A doctor's title?
When everyone heard this, their eyes revealed looks of yearning.
"Brother Jian Qian, how much do you think the annual salary of a doctor is?”Beside Xia Lan, Yuan asked excitedly.
Jian Qian was stumped by this question.
How would he know how much a doctor's salary was?
Up until now, the person with the highest rank he had seen was Zanniao.
This was a third-class title, and above it was a fourth-class title. Above it was a fifth-class title.
"This…this is at least two hundred stones!”
"We still need ten acres of land and ten houses!”
"When the time comes, I'll marry Li Chen's concubine…"
Jian Qian said as he let his imagination run wild.
Two hundred stones!
Ten hectares of land, a house, a servant, a concubine…
When everyone heard this, they opened their mouths in surprise.
"Then I want to be a doctor too!"
Yuan shouted excitedly.
"Me too!"
“……”
Several people in the barracks were clamoring to get a title of doctor.
Xia Lan was the only one who smiled without saying a word.
"What about you, station chief?"
Seeing that Xia Lan did not speak, Chou could not help but ask.
"Needless to say, the station chief is naturally a doctor!”
Yuan said with a smile.
However, Xia Lan carried her luggage on her back and said with a smile,""I don't fancy a doctor."
Everyone was stunned.
Even the doctor looked down on him?
"Could it be that the station chief wants to…"
Xin looked at Xia Lan somewhat stiffly and said,""Marquis?"
He asked tentatively.
Marquis?
Xia Lan smiled faintly.”
Thud!
Thud!
……
For a moment, the sound of things falling could be heard from the barracks.
Everyone's jaws were about to drop from shock.
Marquis!
This was something they did not even dare to think about!
Seeing their reactions, Xia Lan knew that they could not understand her thoughts.
How can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan?
Xia Lan couldn't help but think of the tenant farmer in Daze Village.
She didn't know where he was now.
"Don't just stand there. Hurry up and pack your things.”
Xia Lan interrupted their shock.
Only then did everyone hurriedly pick up the dropped items.
"Station commander, if you become a marquis, we will still follow you!”
"At that time, the ten of us will all be your personal guards!”
After playing around, Qing forgot her fear and spoke in a serious manner.
"Yes!"
"Be a personal guard for the station commander!"
"Haha…to be a personal guard for a noble is also a matter of bringing honor to our ancestors!”
Everyone laughed and jeered.
However, Xia Lan smiled bitterly and shook her head.
He didn't know if these ten people could survive on the battlefield.
Thinking of this, he had no choice but to speak again,
"This time, our batch of guards has been assigned to the supply camp. I don't know if we can still be together.”
"No matter where you are, remember my words!" he said with a serious expression.”
"On the battlefield, staying alive is the most important!"
When everyone saw his serious expression, they stopped smiling and cupped their hands at him."Yes!"
……
Time quickly arrived.
It was almost noon.
All the guards packed their things and came to the drill ground.
The provisions they needed to transport had already been delivered to the entrance of the drill ground.
Along with them were Shuoyang County's county magistrate, county right lieutenant, and other officials.
Wang Li was among them.
"General, I'll leave the heavy responsibility of escorting the supplies to you.”
The county deputy looked at Wang Li beside him and said with a solemn expression.
Wang Li cupped his hands slightly.”
"General…"
The county magistrate hesitated for a moment, then looked at the 2,000-odd guards on the drill ground and said,""If possible, please let more of these men return.”
"This is the foundation of Shuo Yang County.”
Hearing this, a trace of sadness flashed across Wang Li's tender face.
Let them come back more?
If he could, he was willing to bring every single one of them back.
However, the situation on the battlefield was not something he could decide.
Not to mention him, even Lord Wu 'an Baiqi, who was known as the War God, was famous for loving his soldiers like his own children. However, when he went on the battlefield, he could not control the lives of his soldiers.
"County magistrate, do your best!"
Wang Li cupped his hands at the county magistrate, then turned around and went to the high platform on the drill ground.
"Everyone, listen up!"
"Let's go!"
