In the central army tent, Xia Lan slowly walked to the front of the tent.
The few soldiers guarding Ying Zheng's gate naturally recognized this popular man in the army, and cupped their hands in greeting politely.
Xia Lan hurriedly cupped her hands and returned the greeting." Please inform me that Centurion Lan wishes to see you, General."”
Before the soldier could say anything, Huan He's voice came from the tent,""Let him in."
The soldiers stepped aside and let Xia Lan in.
Arriving at the tent, Xia Lan cupped her hands slightly.""Greetings, General."
In front of the map, Huan He turned to Xia Lan and said,""Is there something?"
Xia Lan nodded.
"Sit down and talk." Huan He extended his hand.”
"Thank you, General."
After thanking him, Xia Lan went to the table below Huan He and knelt down.
Huan He sized him up and asked,""Are you feeling unwell?"
Xia Lan quickly replied,"It's not a big deal. General, you're worried about me."”
"Haha…"
Huan He laughed heartily and then said,""Who taught you the ability to kill enemies on the battlefield?”
"General, my father is an old soldier in the army.”
Huan He nodded in satisfaction and didn't say anything else.
In fact, he had already sent people to inquire about this information.
If he wanted to nurture a person, he had to know the person's background well. Otherwise, he would not be a pillar of the country, but a crafty official who would bring disaster to the country and the people.
"General." The two of them were silent for a moment. Xia Lan cupped her hands and said,""I came here to ask for General's approval.”
"Tell me about it," Huan He was curious.
"General, I am a soldier on duty in Shuoyang County. When I was on duty, there were a total of eleven people who lived in the same barracks.”
"In the last battle, three people died in battle. I discussed with the remaining people and wanted to take out a portion of their rewards to give to the families of the deceased.”
"This is the details, please check it out.”
As Lan spoke, he took out a roll of bamboo slips from his pouch and handed it over.
Huan He took the bamboo slips and glanced at them. He looked at Xia Lan with admiration and said,""Child, you really exceeded my expectations.”
Xia Lan did not say anything.
"Do you know how precious thirty gold is?" Huan He asked.”
Xia Lan nodded." Thirty gold coins. It's enough for an ordinary family to live for more than ten years without any worries."”
" But they are my comrades. Among them, Ji Yun's family still has a baby waiting to be fed..."
Hearing this, Huan He's face turned solemn.
He had seen these things many times.
"In that case, I understand your and everyone's intentions. When the king's reward comes, I will send this money to the deceased's home.”
"Thank you, General!"
Xia Lan cupped her hands.
"Is there anything else?"
Huan He saw that Xia Lan seemed to have something to say and asked casually.
Xia Lan hesitated for a moment before saying," General, I still have one more thing to ask of your permission."”
"Tell me."
Huan He said patiently.
"This subordinate is now a centurion. I would like to ask for General's permission to transfer those brothers who rushed over from Shuo Yang County to Lan's subordinates.”
After saying this, Xia Lan looked at Huan He nervously, afraid that he would refuse.
Huan He pondered for a moment and then shook his head.
Xia Lan was a little disappointed.
It seemed that he had misjudged the importance of his position in the commander's heart.
"It's not that I don't allow this, but they are guards, not soldiers.”
"Of course, if you can get their consent and are willing to enlist in the army now, I have no objections.”
Hearing this, Xia Lan came to a realization.
So that was the case.
However, he then looked at Huan He with a bitter look.
This old man!
I'm also a soldier. When you made me a centurion, you didn't ask for my permission.
Huan He seemed to have guessed Xia Lan's thoughts and immediately smiled,""If you don't want to be a centurion, I can give you a new identity.”
When Xia Lan heard this, she could not help but roll her eyes. She did not continue to dwell on this issue and immediately cupped her hands.
"General, this subordinate will go and seek their wishes.”
Huan He nodded and waved his hand.”
"If they agree, you can go and tell Wang Li.”
"Right, Wang Li is now your direct superior.”
……
In the living quarters, Xia Lan shared her thoughts with everyone.
Butcher Chou immediately declared,"I'm willing!”
He was now very convinced of Xia Lan.
On the other side, Firewood hesitated for a moment before raising his hand."Xin is also willing to follow the station chief."
" Big Brother Lan, Yuan will follow you..." Yuan said timidly.
Qing, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, also expressed her willingness to join.
The remaining three were hesitant.
Logically speaking, their mission had already been completed. The army was naturally in charge of transporting the rations.
They could go back now.
However, after the battle a few days ago, everyone was a little hesitant.
"Station commander, will I be rewarded in the future if I follow you?”
The bearded Savage asked in a deep voice.
Xia Lan smiled at him and said,""According to the laws of Qin, if you kill an enemy and make contributions, you will be rewarded with money and promoted.”
When he heard this, his eyes lit up.”
"Station commander, I'll follow you!"
Since he had expressed his stance, the other two naturally did not insist and expressed their willingness to follow Xia Lan.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Xia Lan was very happy.
His team was considered to have been established.
"In that case, I hope that everyone will listen to my suggestions in the future. I will try my best to ensure that everyone will return home in glory!”
"Yes!"
In the living quarters, the eyes of the seven people all shone with high morale.
……
In front of Wang Li's tent, Xia Lan stood at the door and hesitated for a moment. In the end, she cupped her hands and said,"Centurion Lan requests an audience with General."
Moments later-
"Come in."
Wang Li's voice came from inside the tent.
Xia Lan walked in slowly.
Seeing him enter, Wang Li put down the bamboo slip in his hand and said,"Is there something?"
Xia Lan didn't stand on ceremony and directly explained her purpose of coming.
"This is a small matter," Wang Li nodded.”
"In addition, I will send someone to transfer the rest to you later.”
This centurion was a hundred generals, and in times of war, he could command a hundred soldiers. Xia Lan only had seven subordinates at the moment, and there was still a gap of ninety-three.
"Thank you, General."
Xia Lan cupped her hands.
Wang Li gently lifted his arm and said,"I feel very guilty about the matter of Ten Mile Village.”
"I hope you don't blame me in your heart. In the future, we will be comrades and brothers who will live and die together.”
Xia Lan nodded slightly when she heard that.
The deaths of Uncle Liang and the other two had nothing to do with Wang Li.
The main culprit, the Hundred Rock Generals, had already been executed, and Wang Li had also been punished because of this. It was time for him to let go.
"General, you must be joking. How would I dare to bear a grudge against you?”
"General, if you have no other instructions, I will take my leave.”
Xia Lan said with a faint smile.
Wang Li smiled and nodded.
After Xia Lan left, the smile on his face disappeared.
"He's meticulous and doesn't express his emotions…"
"Interesting."
