"The Northguard Marquis has given the order. From now on, you will be promoted to a commandant.”
"General." Li Xin suddenly raised his head and looked at Lu Pojun with a puzzled expression.
"Are you trying to say that the Marquis of Northern Battlefront, as a new noble of Jinghong, is helping you?”Looking at Li Xin's expression, Lu Pojun could guess what he was thinking.
"That's right." Li Xin, whose thoughts were exposed, didn't hide it.
"Hahaha, that's because you don't understand the Northguard Marquis. Speaking of which, the father of the Northern Marquis was a general under the previous Marquis Yan Hai, just not in the Yan Hai army.”
"There are two factions among the new nobles of Jinghong. One faction is naturally those in the Divine Capital, and the other faction is the border army led by the Marquis of Zhenbei.”
"Unlike the new nobles of Jing Hong in the Divine Capital, the border troops are not so biased. They only look at strength and military merits.”
"It is precisely because of this that His Majesty is assured to hand over the northern border army to them.”
"However, whether or not you can hold on to your position as a commandant depends on His Majesty's wishes. It seems that the Marquis of Zhenbei has already sent a military report to the Divine Capital.”
“…….”Looking at Lu Pojun's confident analysis, Li Xin laughed in his heart," Who said that the army was full of boorish men? Lu Pojun and the Marquis of Zhenbei were clearly very shrewd.
It was just that they disdained the petty schemes of the imperial court.
"Alright, that's all I have to say. You are now a commandant. Speaking of which, you have also created a legend in the army. In less than half a month, you have been promoted several times, from a seventh-grade general to a fifth-grade commandant.”
"Good luck, I have high hopes for you."
"Thank you for your trust, General!" Li Xin was solemn as he cupped his hands and bowed.
"You're welcome. Since you've been promoted to commandant, report to the First Army. The military order has been issued. From now on, the Second Division of the First Army will be under your command!”
"Here, I will take my leave."
After receiving a new military card and the logo of a commandant on his armor, Li Xin went to the First Army and found Tiger Teeth Prince to report to General Liu before taking over the Second Army.
The commandant of the second division had died in the battle at Yongning County. Lu Pojun did not send a new commandant, but a lieutenant.
Now that Li Xin had arrived, the second division naturally had a new general.
"Greetings, Commandant!"
Below, the three lieutenants greeted Li Xin.
If someone else had taken over the position of commandant, these three might have had some objections. However, Li Xin, this fierce person, the three lieutenants were very convinced.
He had no choice. His military merits were real. He had even heard from General Liu that this new commandant had taken a blow from Captain Cha Han and was undefeated.
After becoming a commandant and being promoted, he naturally had to hand over his position as a lieutenant of the 1st Battalion. Thus, he temporarily had no chance to leave the camp.
On the second day, the ten thousand Storm Guards formed a formation ten miles in front of the camp, posing a threat to the Barbarian Wolf Army.
The 3,000 heavy cavalry in front of the formation forced Hu Wuhua, who was preparing to attack Town Border City once again, to stop.
If these 3,000 heavy cavalry charged from behind while the siege was in full swing, the soldiers under his command would definitely suffer heavy casualties. Moreover, the Black Wind Guards still had three thousand heavy cavalry in Town Border City.
To the Barbarian Wolf Army, they were not afraid of the other cavalrymen. They dared to charge forward and fight to the death. In terms of riding and archery, they were no weaker than the Great Gan Cavalrymen.
However, only the fully armored cavalry were feared by them.
On the battlefield, the heavy cavalrymen who rode the strongest flood dragon horses and wore heavy armor were definitely the nightmare of the light cavalrymen.
Even the 1,000 wolf cavalry under his command would have to avoid the charge of the heavy cavalry.
There was no other way. When their speed was raised to the limit, the heavy cavalry wielding blunt weapons were the best weapons on the battlefield.
Even an internal force expert who could fight against thousands of troops could only die in the face of thousands of heavy cavalrymen. Perhaps only a martial arts grandmaster with a neutral force cultivation could resist.
However, how many martial arts grandmasters were there in the army? Very few.
Moreover, there was more than one neutralizing grandmaster in Border Town.
It seemed that he could only wait for the reinforcements that Sir had promised to send.
Without any other choice, he could only surround Town Border City and not attack.
Lu Pojun, Qi Lun, and the others were happy to see the Barbarian Wolf Army's reaction. They were happy to reinforce the city's defenses and let the soldiers rest.
In another day or so, the 70,000 soldiers would arrive. By then, they would have more than 100,000 soldiers.
……
Divine Capital, Fengtian Hall court meeting.
The Minister of War stepped forward. After bowing, he took out a memorial from his robe and raised it high with both hands."Your Majesty, Qi Lun, the Northguard Marquis, has sent a military report.”
"Oh? What are you talking about?" Emperor Jing Hong's eyes were slightly closed as he glanced at the Minister of War and asked.
"Your Majesty, the Northguard Marquis has reported that the Barbarian Wolf Army has divided their forces to attack Youzhou, causing some of the counties in Youzhou to be destroyed. After receiving the order, the Gale Guards abandoned the infantry and rushed into Youzhou. At Yongning County, they killed ten thousand elites of the Iron Wolf Tribe and all those under Captain Cha Han.”
" In addition, the cavalry captain, Li Xin, led more than seventy cavalry and killed more than a hundred wolf barbarian cavalry. Later, in the battle of Yongning County, he killed a chiliarch, several centurions, dozens of armored soldiers, and hundreds of Hu cavalry.”
"In the two battles, I killed more than a thousand people below the rank of chiliarch.”
"What are you trying to say?" Emperor Jing Hong said impatiently after hearing that.
"Your Majesty, Northguard Marquis has made Li Xin a commandant!”The Minister of War suddenly spoke.
"Whoosh…"
Hearing the Minister of War talk about the series of battle achievements, many people felt that something was wrong. When these words came out, the court was in an uproar.
It was not because the position of commandant was important.
It was because it had only been a short while since the army left the Divine Capital. Then Li Xin had already been promoted to commandant. What about after the war in the north was settled?
How many military merits could the other party achieve?
At that time, would he be the general of a guard?
Of course, most of the people who were in an uproar were people with positions. These people knew which prefecture Li Xin came from.
It was precisely because they knew which prefecture he came from that caused the uproar.
Marquis Calm Sea of the southern border had a hundred thousand soldiers in his hands. Now that Li Xin had appeared, the power of Marquis Sea Sealing Residence in the army…
Thinking of this, some people stole a glance at Emperor Jing Hong and observed his expression.
The few High Dukes in the Military and Political Pavilion also exchanged glances. Among them, those who belonged to the faction of founding fathers had a lot of exchanges.
"Your Majesty, I think that the military position given by the Marquis of Zhenbei is too heavy. Li Xin has just entered the military camp and is not even fifteen years old. The position of commandant leads at least three thousand soldiers and is an elite of the Storm Guard. I hope Your Majesty can reconsider and strip Li Xin of his military position and demote him to lieutenant.”
Suddenly, a censor came forward and reported.
"Your Majesty, you can't!" As soon as the censor finished speaking, a general stepped forward and cupped his hands."Your Majesty, according to the military system of Great Gan, meritorious deeds will be rewarded and mistakes will be punished.”
"Li Xinsui is only in his twenties, but he has made great contributions. According to the military law, he should be given the position of commandant. He cannot be suppressed, or else the soldiers of Great Gan will be disappointed.”
"Your Majesty, I agree. Li Xin has made a great contribution, so he should naturally be rewarded according to the military law. Otherwise, how can he convince the masses?”Another Ichiro general stood out and reported.
"Your Majesty, I also think it is inappropriate. However, it was impossible not to reward him. He could be awarded the rank of lieutenant and the rank of cavalry commander (fifth grade).”
"Your Majesty…"
"Your Majesty…"
In an instant, more than ten important officials stood out. The highest rank that stood out from the side of the generals was only Rank-4, while the civil officials were mostly censors.
The two sides argued endlessly. To put it bluntly, it was a battle between civil and military officials. The generals couldn't allow the civil officials to suppress the path of promotion in the military, while the civil officials didn't want to see someone in the military being promoted quickly to suppress the military.
However, what was intriguing was that the few founding fathers standing in front of them did not move at all, as if this matter had nothing to do with them.
