The Era of Generals

Looking at Wei Qiwu whose complexion changed drastically, Chen Ze felt nothing in his heart.

He is not from here.

To be precise, he is not from this world.

Chen Ze, from Shuilanxing, comes from a military family. When he was two or three years old, he sat in his grandfather's arms and played sand table deduction games. Since childhood, he has been very interested in everything related to the military.

However, Shui Lanxing has already entered a peaceful era, and Chen Ze often lamented that he was born at an untimely time, unable to fight like his father's generation.

But even so, joining the army is still Chen Ze's only constant insistence.

He joined the army at the age of seventeen, and was admitted to the military academy at the age of eighteen. His goal is to become the Grand Marshal of the Empire just like his grandfather!

However, when Chen Ze's future was bright, fate played another big joke on him.

He crossed.

Just ten days ago, Chen Ze woke up and found that he was no longer on the Water Blue Star, but traveled to a different world similar to the ancient Water Blue Star - the Haotian Continent.

Although Haotian Continent is only one continent, its area is more than twice that of Shuilanxing, and there are not many large and small countries like Shuilanxing. Here, the entire continent is only covered by the four great empires. controlled by.

Qingyang in the east, Bailie in the north, Zhuyan in the south, and Xuanjia in the west, each of these four great empires has a lot of resources, strong troops, and strong strength.

The place Chen Ze traveled to was the Anluo Province under the Qingyang Empire. At this time, his identity was a small follower of the Wei family in Bo'an City. Coincidentally, he was also called Chen Ze.

In the past few days, Chen Ze has been careful to hide his identity as a time traveler, and at the same time, he is rapidly absorbing everything about this world. At this time, he has gradually begun to understand.

The four great empires in the southeast, the north, and the west are equal in strength, and at the same time, they all have the grand ambition of unifying the mainland and ruling the world. Therefore, wars have been raging on the Haotian Continent for many years, and the fighting is raging like a raging fire.

Because of this, there are two types of people who are most respected in the Haotian Continent, and are also cultivated by the Four Great Empires.

One is a peerless general with high strength and the ability to stand against a thousand with one.

One is to use all kinds of wit and tricks to kill the enemy with invisible advisers.

In order to encourage their people to fight on the battlefield, the four empires even set up a generous reward mechanism.

Just like that Mr. Yang.

In the early years, he also passed the assessment of the Qingyang Empire's military aircraft office in Bo'an City, and was promoted to the third-class counselor with his military merits. Since then, he can receive a salary of one hundred and fifty taels of silver at the military aircraft office every month, no matter what Whether he joins the war in the future, this salary will follow him for the rest of his life until he dies of old age.

Moreover, the third-class counselor can recruit up to fifteen students, and for each student recruited, the Military Aircraft Department will give an additional monthly subsidy of five taels of silver.

You know, on the Haotian Continent, five taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family of three to cover food and clothing for a month, and if you save some, you can even save some money.

This shows how rich the empire rewards military talents.

Counselors are the lowest military ranks of counselors. From one to nine, there are nine ranks. The first rank is the lowest and the ninth rank is the highest. The first rank counselors are rewarded with fifty silver coins per month, and the number of students they can recruit is five.

By the time of the ninth-class counselor, the monthly money was as much as four hundred and fifty taels, and the number of disciples had soared to forty-five, which can already be called a small force.

Of course, if you want to be promoted to the ninth rank of counselor, you need a lot of military merits, and there are a lot of people like Mr. Yang who are low-ranking and waiting to die.

Above the counselor is the counselor, and then there are the co-leader, the leader, the supervising army, the general, and even the highest-level national teacher. There are seven levels in total. Except for the national teacher, each level has nine levels.

The advancement of military ranks depends entirely on combat merit. In addition to issuing corresponding rewards, the Military Aircraft Department will also release various combat missions for people to pick up. Personally accumulated military exploits are used to rank up.

The four great empires have provided two promotion paths for their subjects.

Those who are superior in intelligence but weak in force can take the road of counselors, and those with outstanding force and good at fighting can also develop in the direction of generals.

The rank of military generals, the lowest rank is called the commander, and the number of soldiers that can be commanded is also equivalent to that of the advisers. The first-class commander can only recruit five people.

The husband and then go up to Yajiang, partial general, school lieutenant, governor, chief soldier, and general.

The military ranks of generals correspond to those of counselors, and they are also nine ranks apart from the generals.

There is no difference between the rewards given by the Military Aircraft Department to generals and counselors, but the roles of the two on the battlefield are quite different.

Indispensable for marching and fighting is a leader with superior force. A powerful and charismatic general will have a great effect on the morale and combat effectiveness of the entire team.

No soldier is willing to go to the battlefield with a weak scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken. If there is, it is a joke with his own life.

At this point, military commanders have an incomparable advantage as advisers.

But counselors are not useless.

In fact, the final outcome of a battle often depends on the counselor.

Although most of the hot-blooded men on the iron-blooded battlefield don't like these cunning guys who are weak and only secretly hide in a dark corner and watch coldly, but it is undeniable that every army cannot lack counselors.

No advisers to offer advice?

No counselors to look at the overall situation?

It is absolutely difficult to win a tough battle with a moment of bloody courage and personal force!

If an army is compared to a giant, the soldier is the body of the giant, the general is the heart, and the counselor is the brain, all three are indispensable!

In this world, a peerless military general is often surrounded by a group of people who advise him, and a cunning and wise adviser is also surrounded by many generals who are willing to go through life and death for him.

Military generals charge into battle, counselors give advice, in this world, as long as you have one of these talents, you will be admired by all people, and money, status, and fame are all at your fingertips!

This is the information about this world that Chen Ze has silently collected in the past few days.

After going through the initial bewilderment during the time travel and confirming that he couldn't go back for the time being, he quickly accepted this reality.

Even a little excited.

Isn't Haotian Continent, this world, the place where he has always regretted?

On the iron-blooded battlefield, what the heart wants!

Since God's will allowed him to travel to this war-torn world, instead of feeling sorry for himself, he might as well accept it and use what he has learned in the first half of his life to build great achievements here!

Here, in the Haotian Continent, Chen Ze wants to emulate his grandfather and become a peerless star that everyone admires!

This is the goal he set for himself after he recognized the reality.

And what gave him the confidence to set such a goal was not only his own incomparably rich military knowledge, but also the strange things that suddenly appeared in his mind.

From the moment he traveled through, Chen Ze found a silvery-white star floating in his mind. After several days of trying, he finally understood the function of the silvery-white star.

And this is also the biggest reason for him to stand up and expose Mr. Yang's true face at this time!

Eyes pulled back to reality.

"You...how did you know?"

Wei Qiwu was told by Chen Ze, his face changed drastically, and at the same time, his right hand subconsciously covered his chest, and at the same time, panic flashed across his eyes.

"So, the little guess is correct?"

Chen Ze was not interested in explaining his speculation to him, so he just smiled lightly.

Wei Qiwu was silent.

Yes, just as Chen Ze thought, he ran to Senhu Town with all the strength of the Wei family this time. The purchase of purple scale fish was just a cover, and the real purpose was for a treasure.

Half a month ago, the Wei family arranged for a confidant in Senhu Town to fly pigeons to report back. A fisherman salvaged a heart-protecting mirror that was neither gold nor jade. —— Qi Kong Mirror.

When the famous general charged into battle, this invulnerable Qikong mirror saved him several times, it is indeed a rare treasure.

Later, as the famous general retired, the whereabouts of Qi Kongjing was also unknown, but there was indeed news that the famous general retired near Nasenhu Town!

Although the Wei family is not involved in the military, Wei Qiwu has a keen sense of business opportunities.

If that piece of protective heart mirror is really Qikong mirror, not to mention the blessing of the legendary famous general, its invulnerability alone is enough to make people's heart beat.

If you prove that you are authentic and buy it back, there are many nobles who are willing to pay a high price to buy it.

When an auction is held at that time, it will not be a problem to double its value several times or even dozens of times.

Therefore, while Wei Qiwu asked his confidants to stabilize the fisherman and block the news, he also hurriedly led the people to Senhu Town.

Finally, God has treated him well, that breast-protecting mirror is really a Qikong mirror!

Later, Wei Qiwu asked people to purchase a large number of purple scale fish, and used this as a cover to transport the Qikong mirror back to Bo'an City, but saw the announcement issued by the government.

Originally, it was nothing to wait for a few days, and he didn't feel bad if the purple scale fish were all broken, but after all, he was carrying a treasure, so Wei Qiwu wanted to go back quickly, but he didn't want to be ambushed on the ancient Heluo road.

Although Mr. Yang was not the only one who knew about buying the Qikong Mirror back then, the other suspicious points that Chen Ze mentioned all pointed to this person. Suddenly, Wei Qiwu looked at Mr. Yang with even more suspicion.

"Patriarch, don't believe this kid's nonsense!"

When Mr. Yang saw it, he immediately shouted anxiously: "I have been in the Wei family for more than ten years, and I have already regarded the Wei family as my own family. The Wei family is my relatives, so how can I be a spy?"

Wei Qiwu was about to speak, when suddenly from the bushes in the distance, there was a terrified cry that came from far to near.

"Patriarch, it's not good!"

"He...he, they came in!"

Everyone in the Wei family, including Chen Ze, looked to see where the voice came from. It was the entourage that Wei Qiwu had sent to verify Chen Ze's words.

At this time, he was rolling and rolling, running towards the crowd with a face full of horror.

"What's the situation, tell me!"

Wei Qiwu didn't wait for him to come close, and stopped drinking immediately.

"Yes Yes……"

It turned out that this entourage led Wei Qiwu's order to go, and he saw three notched marks on many tree trunks along the way. He followed the marks and found a dead tree more than 200 meters away from the entrance. The low caves are carefully camouflaged by leaves and gravel.

He leaned over and saw that the cave was actually a long and narrow passage for two people to crawl through. As far as he could see, he could already see the faint fire flickering on and off.

Thinking of Chen Ze's words, the word "Ghost Seeing Sorrow" suddenly popped up in his mind, making his hair stand up in fright, and hurried back to report the letter.

"Old man, you really hurt me!"

All the doubts have been verified, Wei Qiwu couldn't help feeling angry, and lifted Mr. Yang's collar, his eyes were red, wishing he could break his neck.

"No...it's not me..."

Mr. Yang struggled vigorously, still shouting in his mouth: "Patriarch, this old man has been wronged!"

Wei Qiwu was still going to get angry, but Chen Ze couldn't stand it any longer, he walked up helplessly and said, "Patriarch, there is no need to rush to kill this old man, we have more important things to do right now."

"right!"

Waking up the dreamer with a single word, Wei Qiwu's body shook, and he said in a hurry: "Since they came in from another entrance, let's quickly exit the valley along the original road, maybe there is still a way out!"

Chen Zexin sighed, how could things be so easy?

He shook his head and said, "The other party must have manpower at the entrance where we came in. Besides, even if we can run out, the carriages and horses are heavy and far behind the speed of the other party's light cavalry. It will be a matter of time before we are caught up."

"Then what do you say?"

In a panic, Wei Qiwu threw Mr. Yang away and looked at this little attendant who seemed to have changed into a different person. He had long since lost the majesty of the patriarch.

"If the Patriarch trusts me, I will hand over the 30 people present to the little commander, and the little commander will guarantee that everyone will return to Bo'an City safely!"

Chen Ze straightened his body, and said a word loudly.

"you?"

Wei Qiwu looked Chen Ze up and down, with a hesitant expression.

"Patriarch, it's not too late!"

With a firm face, Chen Ze looked directly at Wei Qiwu's hesitant eyes.

"good!"

The desperate Wei Qiwu gritted his teeth sharply, "Today, the life of the Patriarch is in your hands. If you can get out alive, the Wei family will have half of you!"
