Chapter 130: Expansion of the Army (4)
At first, Zhao Xin felt a little compassionate when he listened to his story. He thought that since he was not bad at all, he would help him enter Yulin. When he heard the words behind, he was shocked and looked at him in a daze, and then said for a while; "Are you kidding? Do you mean you want me to help you get the position of Yulin Captain?"
After saying that, I felt funny and couldn't help laughing dryly, but I saw the young man nodding directly and said seriously. "Prince Zhao, I know that if ordinary people listen to this request, they will find it absurd, but I can guarantee that my talent is absolutely competent for the position of a lieutenant. If not, I would be willing to punish myself and apologize in front of the lieutenant."
When he spoke, his tone was decisive and his face was extremely firm, which made Zhao Xin feel a little skeptical.
He hesitated for a while before he smiled bitterly, "Brother, don't you think your request is too much? After all, I am just a small Yulin Commander. The Yulin Personal Army is the close guard of the master's father. Any selection of generals and lieutenants requires him to personally select reliable people. You are clearly trying to tell me these things now."
The young man insisted, "I know these things, but I know that the Lord Father always favors the Chief Commander. If you recommend me, the Lord Father will definitely call me to see me. The Lord Father is always talented, and he has always been boldly promoted to talented people without considering their origins. I am confident that if the Lord Father can see me, he will definitely like my talents."
"Besides, I also learned that there is a vacant lieutenant in the Yulin Army. Instead of giving others a free gift, it is better to cultivate your own confidants. Do you think so?"
Zhao Xin was stunned when he said this, and said with a warning look on his face, "How did you know?"
It turned out that after the expansion of the Yulin army, it was divided into two battalions, each led by two left and right lieutenants. The situation of the Yulin army was a bit special. There were only more than 300 people, and only one lieutenant, three Quhou, namely Zhang Xin, Li Wei, and Zhao Quan who was far away in Handan. Zhao Quan was excellent in Congtai Cavalry and Shooting, and was also the royal relative, so he was appointed by his father as the leader Quhou of Yulin. He stayed in Handan because his leg injury had not completely healed.
Zhao Xin won the merits in the battle of the grassland and became the Yulin Captain. Later, he was both wise and brave in the battle against Zhongshan. He was promoted to the capital Captain by his master's father. Although his power has not changed, his level has increased. Zhang Xin and Li Wei and his two ranks have risen. Naturally, they became the lieutenant. Zhao Quan, who was idle in Handan, could not stand it. When he thought that Zhao Xin wanted to become his immediate boss, he was still willing to stay in Yulin, so he applied to be transferred to the Guards.
According to Zhao Xin's idea, the two battalions of Yulin were naturally led by Zhang Xin and Li Wei, but Zhang Xin was suddenly transferred to the front line of Shangdang County by a transfer order to be the real power lieutenant, commanding the entire battalion of Zhao's elite cavalry. Although Zhao Xin did not ask, he had already guessed that it was the result of his father, Zhang Shi, the governor of Shangdang County. After all, being the main general among the elite border cavalry is far better than slowly raising qualifications in the Yulin. Moreover, his father Zhang Shi was taking care of him, so I think it would be a matter of time before he could be promoted.
Zhang Xin's transfer has not been announced yet, so not many people outside know about it. Zhao Xin was surprised how he would know.
But the young man said frankly, "I have people I know in Yulin, and they told me these news."
Zhao Xin couldn't help but be stunned and laughed for a long time, "Brother, I'm very confident and well-informed. Even I'm almost conquered by your confidence."
"But the matter is of great importance at this time, and I dare not agree to you rashly. Besides, what I know about you is all you say without any basis. I need to send someone to investigate before making a conclusion. It's too late today. Why don't you go home and wait for a few days? I will think it through before giving you a reply. Brother, please rest assured that whether I agree or not, I will definitely give you an answer."
Seeing that Zhao Xin had already let go, the young man knew in his heart that this kind of thing was not easily agreed to, so he bowed deeply to Zhao Xin and said, "No matter whether this matter is successful or not, I will be grateful to you. I have never owe others favors in my life, and today I owe you once."
After saying that, he bowed again, then turned around and left, and acted decisively.
Zhao Xin looked at his slowly disappearing back and felt a little strange in his heart, and he felt that he had a little relationship with this person. Suddenly he remembered that he hadn't asked his name yet, but since he said that his surname was Zhao, he was a minor official under his father's hand. He asked his father when he was having a meal later.
Without thinking too much, he went straight to the hall. When he arrived in the hall, Li had already prepared dinner. He saw Zhao Xin so late and couldn't help but complain a few times. He called someone to the study and called Zhao He, and the family of three had a meal.
At the dinner table, Zhao Xin was absent-mindedly squeezing the meal while looking at his serious father. He just wanted to speak, but his father gently tapped the edge of the bowl with chopsticks, warning him, "Don't sleep, don't eat."
Zhao Xin was speechless, thinking that he hadn't seen him for more than half a year. His father was still so old-fashioned and boring. I don't know how my beautiful mother fell in love with this nerd at the beginning.
After having supper, Li called his servant to remove the bowls and chopsticks, and sent two more cups of tea. He knew that the father and son had something to say, but his wife said that it was a bit inconvenient for him to beside him, so he found an excuse to leave.
"How was the matter of selecting the Yulin today?" Zhao He put up a teacup and asked softly.
Zhao Xin nodded and said, "It went smoothly. This time the master father asked Lou Xiang to be honest. I was just a supporter, so I didn't come up with any ideas. It was basically done by Lou Xiang."
"Yeah." Zhao He nodded with satisfaction.
"Lou Yan is a prime minister, and his status in the heart of the Lord's Father is extraordinary. What he does is not instructed by the Lord's Father, so you just need to say less and do more. Don't make decisions in everything, just let him decide. Otherwise, it may be thankless and it will not be in line with the Lord's Father's wishes after hard work."
"I know my father."
Zhao He picked up the tea again, slowly put it in his mouth several times, pondered for a long time and said, "In your judgment, do you feel that your father will have other purpose in expanding the army to the Yulin this time?"
"For example... he is all dissatisfied with the king."
