Lin Qiao was brought by Mr. Wan's side because he was good with the whip, and became his personal guard.

For this kind of thing that I don't know whether it is good or bad, Lin Qiao is also dispensable.For him now, whatever he does is the same anyway, every day is a day.

At the end of April in the seventh year of Da'an, the army marched to Wuzhou and surrounded the city. As before, they formed a formation. Twenty zhadan bed crossbows were fired at once, followed by the magic arm formation.With such a fierce attack, Khitan was helpless to fight back.

The Northern Army of the Great Jin Dynasty advanced triumphantly all the way.

Recapture of New South Wales in early May

Recaptured Yingzhou in late May

Recaptured Jizhou in early June

At this time, the Khitan, who was frightened, sent envoys to pray for peace with the Great Jin.Emperor Wen refused.

In mid-July, the Great Jin Northern Army recovered Ruzhou and Youzhou.

At this time, Khitan prayed for peace again, willing to be a minister and pay tribute.

Wendi Yun.

The war between Jin and Qi, which lasted for five years, finally came to an end. Emperor Wen decreed that

The captain of Shangqingche, who was promoted to the fourth rank, was the general of Huaihua, who was promoted to the third rank.

General Ningyuan, who was promoted to the fifth rank, and General Shen, who was promoted to the fourth rank, were General Mingwei.

He was promoted from Chu Lingfeng, the captain of Zhenwei, who was on the sixth rank, to the captain of Zhaowu, who was on the sixth rank.

Yan Ziqing, the deputy lieutenant of Yihui under the seventh rank, was promoted to the deputy lieutenant of Zhiguo under the seventh rank.

Even Lin Qiao was promoted to the deputy lieutenant of Xuanjie under the eighth rank.

Brother Zhuzi, Jiang Yong, was also appointed as the deputy lieutenant of the ninth rank, which can be regarded as a serious official.

Now that the war has ceased, and the imperial court has provided the army for so many years, the treasury has long been empty. Although there is compensation from the Khitan, it is still a drop in the bucket.It is obviously difficult for the court to continue to supply such a large number of troops.

Regarding the resignation of military officers and soldiers, disabled soldiers must be repatriated to their original places, and those who are healthy can choose to stay in the army or temporarily return to their original places. Return to the army.

They all had a truce, and they still stayed in this world and did not go back. Lin Qiao has long been numb to this.He also hates war and the army, and he is willing to return to his hometown with the severance money.

Master Wan and General Shen felt very sorry for his departure.

Now that the Khitan people have been driven back to their hometowns, there are very few troops left. If they want to recover, it will take ten years.

And they are old, it is absolutely impossible to see Lin Qiao again.

Especially Mr. Wan, during the past few months in the Beizheng, Lin Qiao had been protecting him, and no one could be ruthless, especially for an old man like him, who treated his favorite subordinates like his own juniors. Lin Qiao's departure was extremely regrettable.

But no matter how reluctant she is, she can't stop her desire to go home.Lin Qiao is so young and hasn't married a wife yet, so she must want to go home to get married and have children.

Master Wan sighed and followed Lin Qiao's wishes.

Lin Qiao wanted to leave, and also wanted to get Liu Cai out.But it is not so easy for someone like Liu Cai to leave the army.

So, Lin Qiao thought about finding someone to take care of it and clear it up.

As for who to talk to.Yan Ziqing's military rank is only a little higher than him, so it shouldn't be of much help.

As for Chu Lingfeng, even if he could help, he probably wouldn't be willing to help.Chu Lingfeng is a person who is so dedicated to revitalizing his family that he even dares to marry a man and wife, and would not even risk his life in a war.

Who else can I find?The only people he was familiar with who could handle affairs were Mr. Wan and General Shen.

Lin Qiao didn't dare to intercede with these two people before.He pleaded with Lord Wan for Ming Jian and others before, because if he didn't save these two people, they would be executed.

Secondly, he also had something to rely on at the time, and made a big killer in exchange.Thirdly, the two famous swords are innocent soldiers in the army. Even if something goes wrong in their responsibility, they are not people like Liu Cai who lost their freedom because of exile.

However, now Master Wan's reluctance to him does not seem to be fake, there should be some affection, so why don't you talk to Master Wan about Liu Cai?

After hesitating all night, Lin Qiao still went to Master Wan, first gave him a century-old Ganoderma lucidum, and then explained the matter.

After waiting for a while, Master Wan did not respond. He was feeling uneasy, but Master Wan stroked his beard and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's easy to handle."

Just do it!

Mr. Wan continued to touch his beard, "This time the Northern Army has made great contributions in recovering the six states. The emperor's decree, the body of the crime can be dealt with according to the circumstances, or the body can be redeemed, or the sentence can be commuted."

Then he glanced at Lin Qiao again, and said after a while, "Go to Chang Shi, and he will tell you how to deal with it."

Master Wan spoke, and the matter went smoothly. Lin Qiao paid 100 taels of silver to redeem Liu Cai as a free body.

In fact, the imperial court's move was quite good. It not only increased the revenue of the treasury, but also reduced the expenditure of the army.

Although the imperial court does not need to pay military salaries to exiles, they must give them food and drink!For the imperial court, which is already extremely poor, this is also a considerable expenditure.

After the matter was settled, Lin Qiao gave Master Wan another bottle of anti-inflammatory and anti-fever medicine in his space.

This bottle of medicine is not a low-grade generic medicine that he later prepared in the army, but the original special medicine with supernatural powers. This medicine is better than Ganoderma lucidum.After all, for soldiers, Ganoderma lucidum is easy to get, but elixir is hard to find.

Master Wan already knew that Lin Qiao, in addition to his extraordinary skills and knowledge of weapons, could also cure diseases and save lives.After hearing the efficacy of this bottle of medicine, Master Wan was very happy. After all, Master Li also used this medicine, which is much better than ginseng ganoderma.

Although Mr. Li was injured at the root and had to go back to Beijing to recuperate, that was also the reason why he was injured for too long and did not receive timely treatment, and it had nothing to do with the medicine.

Lin Qiao told Liu Cai the news, and when he learned that he could go back to his hometown, Liu Cai was so excited that he kowtowed three more times to Lin Qiao, and then lay down on the south side and wailed loudly.

As for the other three Anyang fellows, they naturally wanted to go home.

Lin Qiao was listlessly packing his luggage. Actually, there was nothing to pack. He had put all the important things in the space, and the only thing to pack was a few sets of clothes.

With the burden on his back, Lin Qiao lifted the curtain and was about to go out when Er Niu stood outside with the burden on his back and said with a smile, "My lord."

"Er Niu, are you going back to your hometown too?"

"No, I will go with my lord."

Lin Qiao, "..."

This brat!I said it all, no need to repay favors, no need to repay favors.

"If you don't go back to your hometown, what will your parents do? You don't want them?"

Er Niu stopped laughing, "My mother died a long time ago, and my father married a stepmother soon. The stepmother brought two of them and gave birth to four younger brothers with my father. The family was so poor that they couldn't help it. When they heard about the conscription, the stepmother asked Ask my brother to go, my brother was only 15 years old at the time, not yet the age of conscription, and the two children brought by the stepmother were older than my brother. My father didn't say anything, watching my brother being taken away by the conscription officer. Passed Two years later, the imperial court conscripted again, I was only 14 years old, and my stepmother asked me to go, but my father still kept silent."

Er Niu lowered his head, was silent for a while, and then said, "Since my stepmother came to my house, my brother and I have done the most work and eaten the least food, and it is common to be beaten and scolded. Barefoot. But my father built a house for the two sons brought by the stepmother and married his daughter-in-law. My brother told me that we served as soldiers for them, and we will never owe them any more."

"Then will your brother go back?" Hearing these words, Lin Qiao felt very sad. A child without a mother is like a grass. With a stepmother, there is also a stepfather.

"No. My brother said that he lives very well here, ten thousand times better than at home. Although fighting will kill people, but my brother's life was not much better than death before. One time my stepmother was pregnant and wanted to eat jujube , the jujube near the house was eaten up by the son she brought over. My father asked my brother to look for it in the mountains. On a rainy day, my brother fell into a ditch and broke his leg. My father didn't care, he still couldn't see it. In the past, I invited an old doctor to set my brother's bone.

My brother lay in a dark room for a full month and a half, with no one to eat and drink.I was also young at the time, and in order not to let my stepmother abandon my brother, I worked desperately. Only at night could I bring some food and drink to my brother, but that was reserved for myself, and my father did not give it to him. My brother left 01:30.There are too many such things.

Others don't want to be soldiers, but after we came, we felt that this place is much better than home. "

These words made Lin Qiao feel very uncomfortable. Poverty is not terrible. What is terrible is the disregard of your closest relatives, and the disappointment and despair in your heart.

Er Niu continued, "Since I met my lord, the last time I was in Wangcheng, Lord Chu asked us to stay and hold back the Khitan people, but you didn't abandon me, you took us away and even hunted for us. Your lord, you know Is that the first time in my life to eat meat.

Sometimes when we go out to train soldiers, we will also catch prey, but it can't reach the mouths of us little soldiers.I never knew that meat was so fragrant and delicious. At that time, I thought it was worth dying even if I died immediately.

The adults protected us all the way, and did not abandon a single person.My brother was seriously injured, the military doctor only took one look at it, said it was hopeless, and threw it aside.

My brother's life is too pitiful, I can't let him die like this.My lord, you saved my brother, I must repay you, and I will be a cow and a horse for you for the rest of my life. "

What a poor child, it's too easy to be satisfied with such little things!

"Since you think your brother is suffering too much, why don't you stay here with him and take care of him?"

Er Niu's face turned red suddenly, he lowered his head, and after a long time of twitching, he whispered, "He has someone to accompany him, so he doesn't need me anymore."

Lin Qiao, "..." Is that what he meant?

It's true that there is love everywhere in the military!

Since Erniu is determined to follow, let's follow!Anyway, it won't be a loss to him.

But what about Brother Zhuzi?Is he going back?He also has a vicious stepmother, if he goes back, he will be squeezed, after all, he is a dutiful son.

But now he has a rank, he is an officer, it should be better to stay in the army!

Moreover, brother Zhuzi also likes men, so it would be nice to find someone to live in the army, like a big cow.After all, the military doesn't reject these things, but if it's outside, they won't be so tolerant.

Lin Qiao smiled at Er Niu, "Then let's go!"

Seeing that Er Niu was smiling, he said again, "I still have a mule cart in the barn."

With a car, there is no need to buy or hire a car.Although he received 100 taels of severance silver, the money is really useless. It costs 20 taels to buy the worst crossbred horse. It costs 30 taels.

There is also food, drink, and accommodation along the way. It is estimated that there will not be much money left after arriving home.

This is still a high-ranking officer like him. An ordinary soldier like Er Niu probably only needs 20 taels of severance silver.
