The congratulations from his colleagues, no matter they were sincere or false, did not make Li Xian feel elated. Facing the envious or jealous faces behind the smiles, Li Xian behaved the same politely, and then declined all invitations He drank together to celebrate the dinner.Although the army has run out of food, it is impossible for these generals to make up for a meal of wine.

At the age of 15, he was promoted from a fifth-rank general, not to mention that there was no precedent in the Sui Dynasty, even if it is a very special case for a person like Li Xian who made such a steady progress in the past, but Li Xian understands that this is just a special case. In fact, even if he had no other purpose but purely worked for Tai Sui, he didn't feel that there was anything to be happy about.First of all, he is unreliable as a general from the fifth rank, not to mention that he may not be able to wait for the teacher to return, even if he waits, Xin Shixiong may not send a letter to the Ministry of War to promote him.

Under the current circumstances, promoting Li Xian is just a way for Xin Shixiong to boost morale on the surface. As for whether there is any deep meaning in it, Li Xian knows it well.Although the Great Sui Expeditionary Army won successive battles, their morale had dropped to the lowest point in history.The departure of Ulji Mundeok is not only a vain attempt to surrender, but the most real outcome is that the army has lost the only chance to return safely.

Li Xian has reason to believe that today he has been promoted from a fifth-rank general and because Ying Yanglang defeated Meng Shidi, he temporarily has the right to command three battalions. Perhaps tomorrow, this right will be better sprinkled into Sashui. Gone quietly like urine.Xin Shixiong didn't intend to give him to Wang Rengong, so he had to give Li Xian a promotion.Li Xian was not so confused as to think that Xin Shixiong finally looked at him with admiration. It was just a conflict of interest between several generals.Even if there is no conflict of interest, Wang Rengong showed appreciation for Li Xian. Could it be that Xin Shixiong is going to fulfill him?

Li Xian has been promoted, but he is worried about when the next trap will appear. His future from the fifth rank is too simple and unreasonable. Li Xian has reason to believe that maybe Xin Shixiong will let him take three twists and turns tomorrow. Battalion to attack the city of Pyongyang.

Li Xian has no credit, in fact, no credit at all, why did Xin Shixiong want to promote him?

Don't say that you didn't stop Ulji Wende, even if you did, how could the credit go to a young man like him who just joined the army and had no foundation?What's more, he is not from a family.

It's not a good thing that he came out so fast.

Since the founding of the country in the Sui Dynasty, almost none of the official positions above the fifth rank fell on people of civilian origin. Even if those officials who control the government or the generals who control the military want to create a hero, it is definitely not Li Xian. people.Originally, Li Xian didn't feel excluded from the family in the food guards, but from the moment Xin Shixiong announced that he would be promoted as a general, the hostile eyes surrounded by hypocrisy made Li Xian feel uncomfortable.

Back at the food guard's camp, Li Xian was not in a hurry to move to his new, more spacious and comfortable military tent, but sat on a rock in a corner of the camp basking in the sun in a daze, looking slowly from the east. The slowly rising sunlight dragged his shadow closer bit by bit, and when viewed from the side, the young man's handsome face was covered with a layer of gold.

"What's the matter, Captain?"

Wang Qinian asked Luo Fu, and immediately changed his words: "It's the general."

Don't worry, he can already be called a general.

Luo Fu glanced at Wang Qinian and said calmly, "You can ask yourself."

Wang Qinian shrank his neck and said, "I bet, if I disturb our general in the past at this time, it will definitely end badly."

Luo Fu said: "I bet with you, you go and try."

Wang Qinian was startled, then shook his head vigorously.

Chen Que'er couldn't help but wanted to ask Li Xian what's wrong, Luo Fu pulled him and said, "Let the general think about it carefully, let's not bother him at this time."

Chen Que'er was puzzled and said, "What are you thinking about? I've never seen someone with a drooping face after being promoted. Why are you unhappy when you get three exiles?"

Luo Fu rolled his eyes at him and signaled not to talk nonsense in front of Wang Qinian.Who knew that Wang Qinian sighed faintly at this time and said, "If it were me who was promoted at this time, I wouldn't be happy either."

Chen Que'er didn't respect this Ding Lu's leader at all, on the contrary, she still couldn't understand Wang Qinian's usual flattery.He snorted coldly and said, "You know what!"

Wang Qinian was not angry, but said in a very helpless tone: "Yeah, I know a fart, but I can smell whether it is fragrant or stinky, good or bad. The general will I have left the food guards. Now that the army is short of food, how can it be compared to this place? Besides, after leaving the rear camp, there are [-] soldiers under him. Would it be possible to watch others fight all day long like before? Is it? This fart... is really ugly."

Chen Que'er was taken aback, and understood what Wang Qinian meant.

Seeing that Chen Que'er didn't roll his eyes at him like before, Wang Qinian kindly explained: "Those big men from aristocratic families will not allow someone to suddenly appear on their territory. General Xin seems to value us. My general, in fact, pushed him to the cusp. What I am most afraid of now is that General Xin will order our general to lead the army to attack the city tomorrow. As long as we don’t order the army to retreat, will there be a lot of 600 people? War drums If you don't stop for a while, you have to climb up the city wall desperately, sometimes death is very fast, especially when someone wants you to die."

"mean!"

Chen Que'er cursed.

Wang Qinian curled his lips and said, "Despicable? What is this? Of all the young talents I have seen these years, although none of them are as good as our generals, there are quite a few who have become captains at the age of 20, and finally they really stand out. Which one is not from a wealthy family? Too many young boys from common people’s families have been tricked to death.”

Wang Qinian is right, the court is the court of the family, and the army is the army of the family. The difficulty for grassroots people to integrate into it is no different from climbing the steepest mountain in the world step by step. Every step is full of thorns. In the face of crises and traps, no matter how careful you are, you don't know when you will fall from the mountain with your foot on the ground. The higher you climb, the harder you fall, and people everywhere.Of course, it is not that no one from a poor family has ever climbed this steep mountain, but it happened under very special circumstances, such lucky Da Sui can count on one hand.

If the imperial court is compared to a pond, those who come from rich families are like koi that belonged to this pond by nature, swimming back and forth in their own pond, and if one day there is an extra black fish in this pond Even if the loach doesn't pose a threat to them, they will try their best to squeeze that annoying guy away.

That's right, there is Luo Yi in the army, and there are people from humble backgrounds like Mai Tiezhang, didn't they finally achieve the position of general?However, behind Luo Yi and Mai Tiezhang, there were countless young people from poor families who had achieved fame but were crushed to pieces.Too many people fell to their deaths, and even the corpses could not be found.

"Why did Xin Shixiong want to kill our general?"

Rarely, Chen Que'er humbly asked Wang Qinian a question.Somewhat flattered, Wang Qinian nodded to Chen Que'er and said, "Sometimes there is a reason for harming people, but for those from aristocratic families, sometimes they don't even have a reason for harming people. On the surface, it seems that General Wang Rengong wanted to Send our general there, General Xin promoted our general in order to keep our general."

Chen Que'er waved his hand to prevent Wang Qinian from continuing, and after straightening out his words, he said with some headaches: "You still call our general Captain Captain, what you said is too messy."

Wang Qinian said in his heart that this big guy is really not ordinary stupid, he has already made it very clear.But since Chen Que'er finally expressed his willingness to ask for advice humbly, Wang Qinian had no choice but to be a teacher who talked endlessly.

"General Xin left the captain, not because he really valued our captain, on the contrary, he was afraid that he had a bad intention for the captain in his heart."

He looked around subconsciously, and seeing no one else, he continued: "Our captain shouldn't take you to chase Ulji Wende, he Xin Shixiong didn't even chase him out, you, a little captain of the grain guard, came out What kind of limelight? According to the rules, even if our school captain wants to contribute, we should go to General Xin first. But now, none of Zuo Tunwei's army has moved, but a dozen or so food guards have gone out to chase Ulji Wende And Xin Shixiong didn't even know about it!"

"If you catch up with Ulji Wende, it's fine for our captain to do a favor and give the credit to Xin Shixiong. But if Ulji Wende didn't catch up, would Xin Shixiong feel comfortable?"

Chen Que'er said angrily: "Then it's better to go to Zuo Wuwei. When General Wang Rengong told us yesterday, our captain should have agreed. The captain is so smart. I don't believe he didn't expect Xin Shixiong to be so smart." He will target us. Damn it, if you chase after him, it will be our fault, what the hell is going on in the world!"

"Go to Zuo Wuwei? Haha..."

Wang Qinian finally couldn't help laughing at Chen Que'er: "If I really went to Zuo Wuwei, I would be an idiot and a muddlehead."

"What do you mean?"

Chen Que'er was puzzled.

Wang Qinian glanced at Li Xian, who was thinking in the distance, and said with admiration: "I really admire our captain now, I should have seen through Wang Rengong's mind yesterday. Do you think Wang Rengong invited our captain to go to the left?" Is Wu Wei a good thing? He's the one with the most damning intentions!"

The more Wang Qinian spoke, the more excited he became, and his face became flushed: "On the surface, he admires our captain, but in fact he is forcing Xin Shixiong to do something to our captain. Several generals, Ulji Wende, sent him to the door and insisted Didn't catch it, the critical moment was that our captain led a dozen people to chase after him, although he didn't chase Ulji Moondeok down, but this has already made those high-ranking generals
