Although this mission was very dangerous, Lin Yan also gained a lot! At least, he finally saw hope of regaining his strength.
People are like this sometimes. If you don't push yourself, you will never know where your limit is!
Now he didn't need to personally do the military training. Lin Yan was happy with it and concentrated on digesting the insights from this battle and slowly settling down.
Although he can't see anything for a while, Lin Yan believes that when he regains his strength, these accumulated things will definitely become his rare wealth and help him reach higher!
Of course, it’s too late to think about this now, the key thing now is to focus on this! Staying in the military camp before was not just a whim, but he felt that the experience and understanding here might help him really gain something, something that he would never realize in the world.
In the military camp and on the battlefield, the two armies faced each other and charged in battle, which had its own heroic character!
After the mission, Lin Yan made a simple report on the incident as usual. In the process, he chose to conceal some things: such as his own strength and some of the methods he used. These cannot be easily exposed. s things.
Because many members of the Hades Cult were taken prisoner, otherwise Lin Yan would have planned to conceal An Daoquan's realm. Because this is easy to reason backwards. If you defeat the opponent, your identity will be easily exposed.
However, Lin Yan also had a way to deal with it. When reporting, he stated that An Daoquan had suffered serious internal injuries when fighting him, which gave him a chance.
This kind of thing is extremely difficult to verify. An Daoquan is now dead, and the specific situation at the scene is unknown. Is this really the case? Isn't it Lin Yan's alone?
As for the captive members of the Underworld Cult, there was no way to know the physical condition of their superiors, who would not report to them. It was difficult to judge whether Lin Yan's words were true or false.
Mr. Xiaowei did not intend to investigate this matter in detail, and the subsequent specific interrogation work was still handed over to the Cangzhou Prefecture Yamen. After all, professional matters still have to be left to professionals. He knows that the torturers in the yamen are very good at it, and he is not afraid of not being able to dig out secrets!
Captain Wu Gai patted Lin Yan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Captain Yan, you did a good job this time. I will definitely apply for a commendation for you!"
He did not deliberately put on official airs, but instead called himself brothers and sisters with the officers under his command. This kind of "courtesy of the virtuous corporal" can easily gain the favor of others and win people's hearts.
However, for some reason, Lin Yan always felt that this Wu Gai was a bit fake! Although his smile seemed sincere, it was more like a deliberate display than a genuine one.
However, Lin Yan would not expose it to his face, and said with a cup of his hands: "Colonel, this is the duty of my subordinates and does not require rewards. The success of this mission is thanks to those soldiers. If possible, I would like to improve them." Get some food."
The Tang troops stationed at the border actually had average food. Because the enemy invaded and looted frequently, the people were starved of food. They sometimes had to spare some to help the people, so their lives were not rich.
Being a soldier and fighting in a war are very similar to ordinary people's life in some aspects. As the saying goes, "When you are not a soldier, you don't know how expensive food and rice are." To feed so many soldiers, a huge amount of food is consumed every day.
Especially at this time, Cangzhou Prefecture is full of waste and needs to be renovated. It would be good if the soldiers have enough to eat. How can you ask for too much?
It's not like some dignified dignitary who likes to eat and is lazy to work. They eat and drink every day and live an extremely luxurious life, but they don't do anything useful and just stay fat. But sometimes, the Tang State had to keep such a bunch of moths, which is strange!
Captain Wu Gai thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed, saying: "We won the battle this time, so we should reward these soldiers. Well, the camp will make an exception today. Pork and mutton will be put out for everyone to eat. enough!"
Lin Yan had mentioned this before, but he didn't expect Wu Gai to agree easily. He quickly handed over his hand and said, "Thank you, Captain!"
Wu Gai waved his hand, and Lin Yan retreated.
Seeing this subordinate who had just made a great contribution leave, Wu Gai's smile gradually faded, his eyes narrowed slightly, showing a thoughtful look. After a moment, he murmured to himself: "This Yan Ling is really not easy! He can get rid of someone. In the punishment forum, I’m afraid his strength is not as simple as it seems on the surface.”
Then he walked towards the tent with his hands behind his back, thinking to himself: "It's quite mysterious, but I'm still too young. Do you really think you can hide it from everyone? Haha, you are so naive!"
…
Under Wu Gai's order, the logistics team took out the meat that had been treasured for a long time. Looking at the hungry green eyes of the soldiers, the cooks knew that their pigs, sheep, etc. must be doomed!
At this moment, they can only use their swords to send these pigs and sheep to a blissful rebirth!
Soon, they turned into pieces of fragrant meat and were brought in front of the soldiers. For the soldiers who have not experienced such a scene for a long time, this moment is undoubtedly paradise!
In addition to the necessary guard forces, the rest of the soldiers participated in this grand event that belonged to them. The guards also took turns to ensure that no soldier was missed.
This is for the entire military camp, not just the cavalry led by Lin Yan. After all, Wu Gai, the captain, wants to "equalize a bowl of water" and cannot favor one over the other!
On the side of the cavalry, Lin Yan shouted to the soldiers: "Everyone who kills enemies on the battlefield and eliminates harm for the people is a well-deserved hero! Today, the captain is the host, so everyone can eat! However, you have to drink. Drink less, and if anyone doesn’t listen, I’ll make him a groom and not allowed to go to the battlefield!”
Those who can join the cavalry are not bad in all aspects. If they work full-time as a groom, it will be embarrassing! After all, other brothers went into battle to kill the enemy, but I couldn't even wave the flag and shout. How could a hot-blooded man endure this!
Of course, Lin Yan didn't just scare them, he actually did it. It’s okay to relax properly, but getting drunk can make things worse!
After all, you never know when the enemy will attack again. When Cangzhou Mansion was attacked before, the scene of Yang Dayan leading his army to fight to the death is still vivid in his mind. He will never let this happen again!
As time passed, a person walked up next to Lin Yan. It was A Liang. He put his hand on Lin Yan's shoulder and said with a big tongue: "Captain, come on, let's have a drink!"
Lin Yan narrowed his eyes and asked with a dangerous light, "How much did you drink?"
A Liang seemed to think for a moment, and then said: "It should be three cups, right? It's still early!"
Lin Yan sneered and said, "If you drink any more, I'm afraid you won't even know who you are!"
A Liang was not very clear-headed at the moment and was still trying to persuade him to drink. He was arm-in-arm with Lin Yan. Liu Daqing and Lao Zhong, who were not far away, unconsciously turned their heads and mourned for him in their hearts. .
"As soon as Captain finished speaking, this kid jumped up at the gunpoint. What a crime!" Although they sighed in their hearts, the two of them had no intention of going up to remind him.
After all, if you get involved in it, then you won't be worth the loss! Therefore, let Aliang suffer the suffering here alone!
Lin Yan said loudly: "Come here, take A Liang down here. After you wake up from the wine, feed the half-month-old horse first. It will improve your memory!"
The unlucky A Liang was taken away like this. Lin Yanxin said: "Three drinks? That's not much! It seems that A Liang's drinking capacity is not good. Is this the legendary food and drinker? I can't do anything. You must not imitate him. If others persuade you to drink, you must not drink!"
When the soldiers saw that Aliang was punished by the captain without hesitation, they still dared to disobey his orders. They only tasted the food briefly and did not dare to drink more. If you accidentally follow in A Liang's footsteps, it would be such an injustice!
They all thought that A Liang was punished to raise horses because he disobeyed Lin Yan's orders, but this was just one of them. What was more important was that this guy insisted on persuading Lin Yan to drink and cause trouble.
"I must not let these guys know that I am not good at drinking. I will kill the chicken to scare the monkeys from the beginning and solve it from the source!" Lin Yan made up his mind.
Happy time always passes quickly, and the military camp resumed its daily routine on the second day. However, the hard life of the unlucky A Liang has just begun...
After waking up, he found himself lying in the stable with horse manure around him. He quickly stood up and cursed at the top of his voice: "Who is it? What kind of unscrupulous thing put me here? Don't. Let me find you, otherwise I will definitely..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a familiar voice saying, "What must be going on?"
Seeing that it was Lin Yan, A Liang said with a smile: "Nothing, nothing! Commander, why are you here?"
Lin Yan looked at him and said, "I was the one who put you here! After all, you have to raise horses from today on, so it's better to develop a relationship with them first."
A Liang was stunned for a moment and said: "Raising horses? Why...why?"
Lin Yan didn't explain to him, turned around and left, leaving only one sentence: "Think about it yourself!"
The unlucky A Liang was left messy in the wind, thinking depressedly in his heart: "Who did I offend? Alas!"
…
Thousands of miles away, near Chang'an City, due to Xuantian Sect's rebellious attack on the capital, the relationship between the leader of the Taoist sect and the Tang Dynasty reached an extremely tense and delicate level.
Under this situation, as long as there is a little external stimulation, the conflict will break out!
At this time, the Tang State was also different from before. It had sufficient power to mobilize, and it was not the situation before when it was besieged in the city and unable to support itself.
However, even though Emperor Tang was extremely angry, he still did not issue an order for a decisive battle with the Xuantian Sect, because the consequences of a full-scale war were not something anyone could bear. Not even him!
But we can't just let this matter go. At least the prince must not fall into the hands of Xuantian Sect!
A member of the royal family must either live or die. There is no way to become a puppet!
Tang Tianzi narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had made some kind of determination!
