Chapter 4 I have no desire for promotion, staying alive is the most important thing.

The military merit system of the Qin Dynasty was extremely strict.

In addition to the mutual supervision of the soldiers in the army, there were also military merit officers who were specifically responsible for supervising military merit. If anyone dared to claim military merit or seize military merit, they would be reported directly to the King of Qin and severely punished.

When the military merit system was just implemented, there might still be powerful people who dared to take the risk, but now no one dares.

"Bao Qiu was killed by a soldier of your logistics army?"

Wang Ben was surprised.

"Reply to General Wang, this is true."

"Bao Qiu had been taking off his armor and pretending to be dead in the pile of dead bodies. When my logistics soldiers approached, he suddenly killed two people. Fortunately, this soldier of my logistics camp killed him." The military marquis replied immediately.

"Bao Qiu, you died at the hands of a logistics soldier of my Qin Dynasty. You really died unjustly."

Looking at Bao Qiu, whose eyes were wide open and he died with his eyes wide open, Wang Ben sighed.

Logistics soldiers!

They are not combat soldiers, but only deal with some chores such as cleaning up the battlefield and treating the wounded.

It is indeed a shame for a Han general to die at the hands of a logistics soldier.

Wang Jian glanced at Baoqiu and didn't care much.

"Take him away and bury him with the Han soldiers."

"As for the logistics soldier who killed Baoqiu, he will be promoted according to the military merit system."

"Promote him by three levels and one level."

Wang Jian said, and turned back to the camp.

For him, a general, this is a trivial matter. It's just that Baoqiu died at the hands of a logistics soldier because of bad luck, while this logistics soldier was lucky.

"Yes."

The military marquis immediately took the order and withdrew.

"The war report and casualties are almost counted, right?" Wang Jian asked.

"It has been counted and recorded, and it will be reported to Xianyang today." Wang Ben replied.

"It is also a fun thing to report that Baoqiu was killed by our logistics soldiers." Wang Jian said with a smile.

Wang Ben nodded immediately: "Yes."

"By the way."

"Where is Yan'er?" Wang Jian suddenly asked.

Wang Ben hesitated, not knowing what to say.

"Huh?"

Wang Jian frowned and shouted, "Speak!"

"She went to Yangcheng with Li Teng." Wang Ben said helplessly.

"Why didn't you keep an eye on her?" Wang Jian was a little angry.

"Dad."

"Don't you know what kind of character Yan'er is? You shouldn't have agreed to let her go with the army this time." Wang Ben complained.

Hearing this.

Wang Jian glared and was quite helpless.

"Do you think I want to take her? She has been pestering me since she heard the news of the expedition." Wang Jian said.

"Dad, don't worry."

"She has your five hundred guards to protect her, and General Li Teng is taking care of her. Nothing will happen." Wang Ben said with a smile.

"Forget it."

"Let her go and play. I'll marry her off when I go back this time, and let her in-laws take care of her." Wang Jian said angrily.

Wang Ben smiled and said, "Dad, can you bear to do that? Besides, who in Xianyang knows Yan'er's character? Who can be favored by her?"

...

Late at night!

All the bodies on the border battlefield have been cleared.

Thousands of logistics troops also returned to the barracks to rest.

Outside the tent.

It was pitch black.

Wei Quan and Zhao Feng sat by a small bonfire with a piece of meat roasted on it.

"Zhao kid."

Wei Quan said.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Feng replied.

"Aren't you in a hurry at all?" Wei Quan asked.

"What's the hurry?" Zhao Feng was a little puzzled.

"You killed Bao Qiu today and made a great contribution. This is a great contribution that can make you promoted to the third level and be awarded a title."

"Why are you so calm?" Wei Quan said in surprise.

"I don't have such a strong desire for promotion." Zhao Feng said honestly.

Hearing this.

In the dark night, Wei Quan's expression was very surprised.

"Don't you know that you can get a higher salary if you are promoted, and you can get land if you are granted a title?" Wei Quan said.

"I know." Zhao Feng smiled and replied, "But what's the good of being promoted? I will go home after serving for two years anyway. I have a mother and a sister at home. They are waiting for me to go back and take care of them. I can't die on the battlefield."

"You are really different." Wei Quan sighed.

"It's not different, it's just that I am more afraid of death and cherish my life."

"No matter how high your official position is, it's better to be alive."

"Hundred generals."

"How long have you been in the army?" Zhao Feng asked.

In the army.

Zhao Feng did not offend anyone, and he would smile and be honest when he met people, and there were not too many twists and turns in the army, but the only one who really made friends with him was Wei Quan.

"I have been conscripted since I was fifteen, and it has been almost eight years."

"If possible, I hope to stay here forever, so that I can get enough annual salary to support my family."

"It is not so easy to live in this world now. If it were not for my annual salary, my family would have starved to death long ago." Wei Quan said slowly.

In response.

Zhao Feng did not reply.

In this era.

There is not enough food for everyone, let alone for everyone to eat.

Starvation is very common, especially in winter, when countless people die of freezing and starvation.

This is also unsolvable.

When Zhao Feng was in his hometown, his family also had one acre and three fen of land, which was enough for his family of three. Moreover, Zhao Feng had a good physique, and he could get a lot of hunting in the mountains. He was also proficient in various hunting traps in later generations, and he got a lot more. He usually exchanged some with fellow villagers. As long as he didn't covet anything, his life was carefree.

"Zhao kid." Wei Quan spoke again.

"General, you say." Zhao Feng replied.

"Don't always call me General, General. I'm nearly ten years older than you. Just call me Brother Wei." Wei Quan said with a smile.

"Brother Wei." Zhao Feng immediately shouted with a smile.

"Hey." Wei Quan also agreed with peace of mind.

Then he sat down close to Zhao Feng.

"Thank you for calling me Brother, and thank you for saving my life. I will teach you something."

"Do you want to listen?" Wei Quan looked serious.

"Brother Wei, you say, I'm listening." Zhao Feng nodded immediately.

"I saw through that sword today."

"You killed Baoqiu accurately with one sword from a distance of ten feet. You are really capable."

"With your skills, you are better than those real elite soldiers."

"During the training in the recruit camp, you hid your skills. Otherwise, how could you be assigned to the logistics army." Wei Quan said as if he saw through Zhao Feng.

"Haha."

"I can't help it. I don't want to die in the battle."

"Logistics soldiers don't have to go to the battlefield head-on, and don't have to risk their lives. I came to the right place." Zhao Feng neither admitted nor denied it.

In the recruit camp!

Zhao Feng did hide his skills. If he performed well, he would be assigned to the main battle camp and become an elite soldier. So during the training, if he had to use ten points of strength, Zhao Feng would use five points of strength, and finally successfully stayed in the logistics army.

"Zhao boy."

"As a person who has been oppressed by power."

"I want to tell you something..."
