Chapter 127 Military Rank

Among the ranks Luochen designed for his generals, there were not many ranks. In general, Zhonglang generals can lead troops independently and become a legendary general - have the opportunity to lead 100,000 infantry cavalry to garrison or pass through a place, or conquer a certain opponent, or suppress bandits... Anyway, independent lead soldier.

It is difficult for a Zhonglang general to be promoted, and there are not many Zhonglang generals in Luochen’s army. Generally, they fight for their qualifications and become a veteran general, or make great achievements and become an extremely excellent independent general in Luochen’s eyes—or a commanding talent, then Congratulations, you have the opportunity to be promoted and become a top general with a very high official rank.

For example, the current Zhonglang generals in Luochen Army: Ma Chao, Xiahouyuan, Huang Zhong, Chang Yuchun, Yan Qing, Lin Chong. The first four were generals who led troops independently. Xiahouyuan was in Hanzhong, Huang Zhong was in Shangyong, Ma Chao was in the north—most of them were at Tongguan, and Chang Yuchun was in the northern Han-Hungarian front—as young generals focused on training. But although they are majestic on all sides and have made countless contributions, they are still middle-ranking generals - this level is too sad, after all, their qualifications are not very old, and they do not have any earth-shattering achievements. As for Yan Qing and Lin Chong, when there is a shortage of generals in Luochen, they are naturally the generals on their own. Moreover, these two people were the few trusted generals around Luochen from the very beginning. With the increase in the number of Luochen generals, Yan Qing was mainly responsible for the guard work, and Lin Chong worked in the National Science and Technology Agency, responsible for logistics and security work, and had almost left the battlefield. ——However, the National Science and Technology Administration is Luo Chen’s most important trump card, and Tiao Lin rushed over to take charge of the political and military defense, which is also a great trust.

Several great generals broke through the mark of Zhonglang generals and became top generals. They were: General Lu Bu, General Ma Teng, General Xu Da. Needless to say, Lu Bu was the first general by Luochen's side. Since Luochen had only a thousand guards, he overthrew Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and Guo Si, and attacked Yizhou in the south... Having experienced all the major events of Luochen's growth, in order to show attention, and The praise for this kind of qualifications is naturally different from other generals who lead the army independently. Although Lu Bu's common problem of commanding troops and using them is no different from other Zhonglang generals - he is usually in Chengdu, and he was transferred to command 100,000 troops during wartime. It may be that Luochen has read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms a lot and knows that Lu Bu is not a commander, so he restricts his use. Admiral Ma Teng, his subordinates Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Pang De, in order to show distinction, must have an official rank, not to mention Ma Teng's official position is Liangzhou prefect, who is the general of the frontier who controls all the military and political affairs of Liangzhou. , the official rank is not high enough to convince the public. General Xu Da was promoted to general in almost an instant. Under the control of Luo, his official rank was like a helicopter, and he went straight up. However, his strategic ability to command the entire army has repeatedly proved the correctness of Luochen's decision, which is natural, because Luochen is based on history...

Below the general of Zhonglang is the commander, probably the brigadier general, including: Ma Dai, Pang De. These two people could not lead the army independently, they led a light cavalry of 40,000 to 50,000 at most, and engaged in short-term missions under the guidance of the general or the army. At other times, he is with the general, waiting for the call of the battlefield. Of course, with the advancement of Ma Dai and Pang De's qualifications, they may one day be promoted to generals. Below the commander is the commander. This is the general of the middle and low levels, such as the commander of a detachment, such as the command of a temporary combat unit... These are all under the command of the general, with the subordinate troops, waiting for the command of the general on the battlefield.

This time, Barrow also became a helicopter, and instantly became the deputy commander of the detachment from the bottom of the team. Everyone has not slowed down this rapid improvement, and was promoted again the next day to become a captain. Consistent with detachment commander rank. What's even more powerful is to become the temporary commander of the guards beside Luochen, so he will become a general sooner or later by Luochen's side...

The words were divided into two parts and returned to the front line of the confrontation between Han and Hungary in the north.

It was a pitch-dark night, with only faint stars in the sky. The Huns seemed to have deliberately set the depths of the grasslands to be a very secret and elusive place. The depth of this vast grassland seems to be endless. If it does, there will still be endless desert grasslands and deserts in front of it. The warrior who has traveled farthest in the tribe told people that the desert is extremely dry, and there are countless devils in the depths. On the edge of the desert, there are endless wastelands and dense forests...

The legend of the Xiongnu tells people that the depths of the grassland is the place where the Xiongnu **** rests, a holy place that cannot be casually passed, and of course a very dangerous place.

The old patrol chief was lying alone in this dark night where he could not see his fingers.

The young soldier finally couldn't stand the loneliness and applied to leave. The old patrol chief could not remember that this was the first young man to leave him. It is understandable that young people always like novel and fresh things. Every day in the depths of the desolate grassland, in addition to grass, there are occasional flocks of yellow sheep and wolves. The conditions were too harsh. There was only a tent and blanket to sleep, and only simple dry food and water to eat. Facing the desolate grasslands and the monotonous and harsh environment in the depths all day, how many young people can bear it?

Therefore, the old patrol chief can often only be alone, becoming a patrol chief without soldiers, a bare commander. For example, now, he is lying on the grass alone, wrapped in a simple blanket. The long dark night came, and the old patrolman closed his eyes slightly - of course, he didn't need to open it, just by listening to the sound, he knew that a yellow sheep had just jumped past him, and it was on his right. Place, about ten meters. If he wanted to, the old patrol chief could hit Huang Yang with a whip without opening his eyes, but he didn't want to be so tossed, just lay quietly. The poor yellow sheep must firmly believe that there is no larger living creature around, let alone people. It may be that the old patrol leader has become one with the grassland, and the breath of the grassland is consistent, becoming a part of the silence of the grassland. He lies quietly, like the grass on the grassland - nothing different. So much so that the timid and alert Huang Yang hopped and walked safely just ten meters away from him, and didn't notice anything unusual at all. .

The night seemed to get darker, and the cold air also came up. The grass was wet and cold, and the old patrol leader gently wrapped the blanket tightly. Suddenly, the old patrol chief stopped the movement of wrapping the blanket, but moved like a stone, still. In the depths of the grassland, there was a slight sound of four feet stepping on the ground, the sound was extremely low, but vigorous and powerful.

This is a beast of the prairie, with sharp and powerful claws gripping the grass vigorously, and then the soft grass and fur reduce the sound to a minimum, only the gentle rustling of the grass. Familiar footsteps, the old patrol leader has listened to it for many years, and I don't know how familiar it is, it is a wolf.

There is a large pack of wolves. This is the reason why the old patrol chief was surprised. It was normal for one or two wolves to come and go alone, but a large group of wolves, no less than fifty, was the first time he saw them in so many years. What is even more amazing is that the rustling voices of the wolves are almost the same, the farthest in the middle, and the two sides are separated, indicating that the wolves are in a pincer formation and move forward in strict discipline.

The wolves in the depths of the grasslands are different from the wolves in the human activity circles where people live in the grasslands. The old patrol leader has been on duty in the depths of the grassland for more than 20 years. He knows too much, and people don't know how much he knows. Zhong Ping didn't know, Jesso didn't know, and even Da Chanyu from the previous dynasty didn't know.

The experience of the old patrol chief is legendary. It is rumored that he saved the life of the former Dadan Yu Qiangqu - this name seems to have disappeared on the grassland now, no one says his name, only the former Dadanyu. It is rumored that the old patrol chief assisted the former Da Chanyu when he was young, and even served as a teacher and counselor to guide the Qiang Canal—in this way, he should be the number one strategist and possess military power. But he was extremely low-key, and many decisions were made by him, but people only remember Qiang Qu, because the number one counselor was reluctant to show his face. It stands to reason that when the Qiang Canal was close to the unified grassland, the old patrol leader should have enjoyed extremely high treatment as the first hero, but the patrol leader took the initiative to go to the depths of the grassland to stand guard. ——This is his original position. He started his military career as a sentinel in the depths of the grassland, and after serving as the number one counselor (rumor), he still appears in the post in the depths of the grassland every day, and he never seems to leave. The duty of patrol chief.

In a recent crisis in the grasslands, the front was attacked by Xiahou Dun from east to west, and the back was attacked by the Western Liang army. I heard - just heard, everything about the old patrol chief seems to be just heard, he is too low-key - the old patrol chief designed the defense line himself, cut off the passage of Cao Jun's grain transportation, and Xiahou Dun's army had to withdraw . As for Yesuo's use of wolves to defeat Xiliang, people don't know how much the old patrol leader knows. The old patrol leader has been in the depths of the grassland for a long time. It should be said that he knows the best and is most qualified to speak. Remain silent, without saying a word.

If the rumors are true, the position of the old patrol chief was no less than that of Zhong Ping at the time. If he prevented Zhong Ping's coup, then Zhong Ping could be said to be in real trouble. After the Zhongping coup, as the most important minister of the Qiang Canal, the old patrol chief was safe and sound. And Zhongping asked him to come out many times, but he was politely rejected by the old patrol leader, and he became a real patrol leader. ——Perhaps he and Zhongping have a good personal relationship? Let Zhongping decide to let him go after winning the big order? These people do not know.

The wolves stopped, and the old patrol chief could even feel their gasps.

The wolves in the depths of the prairie are different from ordinary wolves. The old patrol chief knows this well, and he also knows that these wolves have never hurt himself.

The wolves sensed his presence.

The old patrol chief simply sat up and made a rustling noise. He saw Youyou's eyes and seemed to be looking at him in a trance. This was the third time he had seen such eyes, and he looked at him in a trance, as if he had something to attract (biah) this pack of wolves. And this is the third time that the old patrol chief has encountered wolves in the depths of the grassland recently. The first two times were not many, but two or three, but this time they were in groups.

The old patrolman subconsciously waved to the wolf who was staring at him, signaling it to come over. After this action, the old patrolman felt a little absurd, how could the wolf understand it? Even if you understand, why come here?

Unexpectedly, the wolf walked to his side step by step.

Too close, the wolf pounces easily, and his old life is gone. The old patrol leader fought with his bare hands against wolves when he was young, but now his hair is gray, his arms are weak, and his reactions are not quick. Definitely can't beat this wolf.

The wolf stopped, and then lay down obediently, as if the old patrolman was an air, he was just here to rest. —Or some kind of trust...as if the old patrol chief was his own.

This is a wolf with a huge head and body, dark gray. The old patrol chief sat next to him, the wolf fur was very hard. The wolf didn't feel uncomfortable or vigilant at all, as if the old patrol Chang Si's own kind. To be honest, the old patrol chief was afraid of his courage, why did he dare to sit directly beside the wolf? Even dare to touch his wolf fur? If the wolf gets angry, won't he be finished?

Wolves are obedient.

The old patrol chief even felt a little at ease, it was better than being alone, at least he had company.

It was about midnight, and the old patrol chief was wrapped in a blanket and ready to rest. If there are still people, they can change the guard, and the old patrol chief can be more at ease, but now he can sleep too, just a little lighter. There was only the slightest sound, and he could immediately hear and wake up.

But tonight he might be able to sleep soundly, because a pack of wolves lay beside him and could help him stand guard.

The old patrol chief could faintly hear the sound of hoofs. He immediately sat up and was instantly awake. The sound of horse hooves came from the east, and someone entered the depths of the grassland from the front of the grassland.

He looked back at some packs of wolves, and they were still there. The ear beside him was pricked up and had stood up, a look of vigilance.

This night, if nothing else, it should be Jesso. thought the old patrolman. He figured out a lot of things, the wolf army in the depths of the grassland is the group of wolves in front of him. Of course, he has been aware of it for a long time, but he has seen and felt the spirituality of the wolf with his own eyes in the past few days, and it is more certain.

"Go back," he whispered to the wolves, waving his hand.

The wolf turned around and left, and the queue behind was still in a tight formation, leaving quickly and silently into the depths of the grassland.

This again confirmed a conjecture of the old patrol chief. .

Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Nine Meet the Old Ones

The old patrol leader has discovered a strange phenomenon for a long time. The wolf in the deep grassland seems to be very interested in himself. And he can easily influence them and direct them, especially these days.

What happened today directly confirmed his conjecture. He waved his hand, and the big wolf came over meekly and lay beside him, as if he was of the same kind. He waved the wolves away, and the wolves immediately retreated in tight formation.

If the rumors are true—Jeso can influence wolves, command wolves, the legendary prairie wolves—then he and Jesso have the same abilities. And the rumors are mostly true, but the grassland wolf army is not so magical, a group of spiritual wolves, a commander named Jesso~.

The sound of hoofs is nearer, nearer. The old patrol chief knew his position just by listening to the sound. Suddenly, he was stunned, no, the sound of the horse's feet was even louder, and it was not wrapped in sheepskin. The old patrol has been so long, and he has seen Jesso come and go in the middle of the night countless times, without exception, all wrapped in horseshoes-sheepskin, silently.

"Please say the order to the guests who go to the depths of the grassland." The old patrol leader calmly said. The bow and crossbow in hand was already full, and his feet moved slowly in a circle, moving silently. For newcomers, the patrol chief likes to say the sentence _ in full.

"God Hun bless us." The voice was calm and powerful.

The old patrolman was stunned. This voice was too familiar. It used to be so decisive and confident, even a little conceited, but now it is a little tired. This person is Zhongping.

"Shaha, thank you for your hard work." Zhong Ping obviously knew who was speaking to him. "Long time no see." Saying that, with a horse's belly, he gradually walked from the dark night to the front of the old patrol chief. "Long time no see." In the darkness, only faint figures could be seen, but Zhongping and Shaha were both "eagles" from the grasslands, as if they had sharper eyesight and could barely see the people in front of them.

"Long time no see, Da Chanyu." The old patrol leader didn't have any strangeness - or the surprise and the strangeness were deeply concealed by him, and no one could see it except himself - said the old patrol leader, rubbing his chest with his hand, bowed deeply.

Zhong Ping was obviously very satisfied with this title, as if he was originally a Danyu. Back then, the two were both right-hand men of Qiang Qu, and Zhongping was famous all over the world, but Shaha was extremely low-key. Zhong Ping became a general with a heavy army and a territorial official, but Shaha declined all rewards and military power, and resolutely went to the depths of the grassland to be his patrol chief.

However, the two had a good personal relationship. Many people would wonder why such two people with very different interests and personalities would become quite good friends, perhaps because of complementary personalities, while the old patrol chief tried his best to stay away from the center of power and not have conflicts of interest.

But now, for Zhong Ping, this wise old friend is patrolling the depths of the prairie—the place where his wolf corps lives and trains—every day. If Shaha is unaware of the wolves, Zhong Ping must not be I will believe it...but this old friend will definitely not admit it.

"General Jesso... come here often." Shaha seemed to want to distract Zhongping's thoughts.

"Well... That's right, General Yesuo is commanding the battle with the Han army at the front line, and I don't have time recently." Zhong Ping said.

This is obviously not a reason. It has been several months since the battle with the Han army. Why did Yesuo not land once before? Besides, as the number one strategist, Jesso should not command and consider the issue of the Xiongnu's combat.

The old patrol chief just bowed low again: "General Jesso is a young talent."
