Jia Huan's words made the twelve noble disciples feel nervous.
This is probably the most important opportunity in their lives, and they don't want to give up.
All twelve people knelt on one knee and begged: "Please give us another chance, general. We will definitely be able to meet the standards in the next assessment. If we fail to meet the standards again, we will leave the barracks without being expelled by the general."
Jia Huan said calmly: "Although you are a bit useless, you still have some merits."
The twelve noble disciples all looked happy, and then heard Jia Huan continue: "But there is no joke in the army..."
Upon hearing this turn of events, the twelve people's faces turned pale again.
Just listen to Jia Huan continue to say: "It is naturally impossible to let you become the regular army, but this general can give you a way out. If you are willing, the twelve of you can serve as the leaders of the Red Flame Army."
"But you are different from them. Their one hundred people are only temporary. As long as you are no longer the last hundred in the next assessment, you can still become the regular members of the Red Flame Army. And you can only be the gang leader army forever. I don't know you. Are you willing?"
Hearing this, the twelve people were overjoyed and said: "We are willing, thank you General for making it happen!"
Seeing that they all agreed, Jia Huan couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
Then he said to them, "Follow me, all of you."
"Yes, General."
Soon, Jia Huan led them all into the handsome tent.
"Let's all sit down and talk."
"Thank you General."
All twelve people sat down, but each person only sat on a corner of the stool and stood upright.
Seeing this, Jia Huan nodded with satisfaction.
Jia Huan couldn't help but said: "Relax, everyone, you don't need to be like this here. I know that you are a little resentful towards me. Because during this period, instead of taking care of you, I have humiliated you in all kinds of ways." .”
The twelve men hurriedly said: "I don't dare. This is all the general's cultivation of his subordinates. How can I have any reason for my subordinates to feel resentful? If so, they are just stupid and cannot be cultivated."
Jia Huan smiled and said: "Actually, to be honest, I don't want you to stay. Because His Majesty wants to create an invincible and powerful army, and wants to use the Red Flame Army as a sharp knife."
"Then the Red Flame Army must charge into battle. I don't know how many fights they will go through. It will be very dangerous. If you have any shortcomings, I can't explain it to your family."
"That's why I humiliate you in every way. If you really retreat, you will still hate me in your heart, but you will be able to save yourself in the end."
After hearing this, the twelve people understood Jia Huan's good intentions, and they couldn't help but feel more and more grateful to Jia Huan.
They really believed Jia Huan's lies.
Mainly because Jia Huan's previous reputation was so good, such as the literary star descending to the earth, Jia Sheng's promise is worth a thousand gold, Jia Zi's four sentences, and the title of Qingtian Grand Master in Ping'an County.
How could such a great talent humiliate them for no reason?
It turned out that he actually had the intention of protecting them.
Although they gritted their teeth and persisted, they still had resentment in their hearts.
At this moment, everything disappeared, and I felt very guilty.
Then I heard Jia Huan say: "Since you are staying, then do your best. The twelve of you are now permanently staying in Gangtou Camp, and it is not without benefits."
"Except for the twelve of you, the other members of the Huotou camp will not be fully confirmed until one year later."
"So you are all naturally the leaders of the gangtou camp, and no one is dissatisfied with it."
Hearing this, the eyes of these twelve people couldn't help but light up.
yes! If they were a little bit dissatisfied with staying in Huotou Camp at first, now, some of them are just happy.
If they stay in the regular army, they will definitely not be able to get ahead.
But now, they can become officials easily.
Although the chances of promotion in the Huotou Battalion are obviously less than those in the regular army, the Huotou Army is also safe.
Then I heard Jia Huan continue: "And you actually have a lot to do in Huotou camp. First, you all come from noble families, so you can work hard on food."
"After you arrive at Huotou Camp, if the food for the entire army can be significantly improved, do you think all the soldiers in the army will be grateful to you?"
Hearing this, these twelve people's eyes lit up again.
The Red Flame Army has a large amount of training, so the food in the army is naturally excellent. Otherwise, if the nutrition cannot keep up, the new recruits will be trained to waste very quickly.
Every morning I have soy milk and two eggs, and at noon and evening I have two meat and two vegetables, which is a big meal.
(Some book friends in the comment area said that in ancient times, soldiers who could not keep up with nutrition would be disabled by training. Ahem, Yanyu has written seven or eight fictional histories after all. How could he not know this? It is all capitalized in several other books. I’ve done a close-up on this one, but I don’t want to be so superficial in this book, so I won’t mention it. I’ll briefly mention it here, and spoil it, military training is not the focus, it’s just a transitional chapter, and it won’t be too many words.)
It's just that the taste is hard to describe. I can only say that it's cooked and enough to fill you up.
Those new recruits were only able to swallow it if they were starved during training. These twelve noble disciples have a hard time swallowing food.
If they are allowed to serve as gang leaders, they will definitely be able to improve the food in the military camp to a higher level.
At that time, all the soldiers in the army will not be grateful to them?
That said, in Huotou Camp, they can easily achieve results!
Jia Huan continued: "Also, although you have arrived at the gangtou camp, you still have to train hard and don't slack off."
"If your combat effectiveness is not weaker than that of the regular army. If in a certain battle, your Huotou Battalion shines and achieves a more amazing record than the regular army, it will surely amaze everyone!"
"When the time comes, it will be easier for me to ask for credit for you."
Hearing this, the eyes of these twelve people couldn't help but light up again.
yes!
What they can do in Huotou Camp is far more than making delicious meals that all the soldiers praise.
In fact, they can do more, but the premise is that they need to be strong to make iron. They must have the ability to amaze others before they can do things that amaze others.
They heard Jia Huan say again: "Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. I hope that when the opportunity comes, you will not miss it!"
Opportunities are for those who are prepared!
The twelve noble disciples were all chewing on these words, with lights flashing in their eyes.
…
Let us say that in Rongguo Mansion, Jia Baoyu wrote several invitations and sent them to the Grand View Garden.
This invitation is a post where he set up a host banquet to entertain the sisters.
The guests at the banquet included sisters such as Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Jia Tanchun and Jia Xichun, and oh, by the way, there was also Li Wan.
In the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Lin Daiyu read the invitation, smiled disdainfully, and then said to Zijuan: "Go to the third girl and ask her to send a message to Baoyu, saying that I am not feeling well and not disturbing his host. .”
Zicuckoo smiled and said, "Yes, Miss."
In Hengwu Garden, Xue Baochai was not here at all. She went back to Xue Mansion early in the morning. It was Xue Pan who invited her back.
Xue Baochai didn't know what was going on at home, so he didn't dare to neglect it. He went back early in the morning. Naturally, he was not here at this moment and couldn't attend the banquet.
The remaining three people, Tanchun, Xichun and Li Wan, naturally knew that Jia Baoyu was not interested in drinking. He hosted a banquet for the sisters, but they were not the ones he actually wanted to invite.
But Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu mainly wanted to invite Lin Daiyu.
But it was hard for them to refuse.
So these three people went to the banquet on time and brought the news that Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai could not come.
After hearing this, Jia Baoyu suddenly lost his interest and became depressed.
Jia Baoyu lost interest, few people spoke at the banquet, and the atmosphere of the banquet became more and more dull.
…
Let's say that in the Xue Mansion, Xue Pan and Aunt Xue, mother and son, were quarreling fiercely.
The Jia family intended to marry Bao Yatou, and Aunt Xue was naturally very willing. Although she did not agree immediately, she was only pretending to be reserved and wanted not to be looked down upon by the Jia family.
Unexpectedly, when I mentioned this matter to Xue Pan, Xue Pan jumped on his feet and refused to agree.
Xue Pan couldn't help but said: "Mom, that big-faced boy is a waste. How can my sister marry him? Doesn't it taint my sister?"
Aunt Xue said angrily: "You evildoer, what are you talking about with all your nonsense? You are still married, do you think our Xue family are relatives of the emperor?"
"After all, the Jia family is also the Duke's palace, with a title. What is our Xue family? It's just a business family."
"The Jia family's willingness to marry your sister has really given us a lot of face. And you are also incompetent. If your sister marries to the Jia family, she will be able to protect you from the wind and rain in the future and prevent the Xue family's fortune from ruining."
Xue Pan said angrily: "Mom, you are really looking down on me! Besides, my sister has not yet married, and the Jia family has already coveted our family property. If my sister really gets married, needless to say, From now on, my Xue family’s property will definitely be named Jia.”
"Furthermore, now that I am following Brother Huan, with Brother Huan here, I can protect my Xue family's property. If Mom doesn't believe me, why doesn't she still believe in Brother Huan?"
"Mom, it's better to be the concubine of a hero than the wife of a mediocre person. Even if my sister is married to Brother Huan as a concubine, it will be ten times and a hundred times better than marrying that big-faced treasure!"
"You just don't believe what I said. Let me ask you, in the past few years, when has your vision been better? Now I am the head of the family, and I have to say this matter!"
Aunt Xue was so angry that she trembled with anger at Xue Pan's words. She couldn't help scolding: "You are such a scoundrel! Is there any brother like you? Where in the world can you see a brother like you? Throw my own girl into the fire pit." Litui?"
"Brother Huan is naturally good, but no matter how good he is, now that the Holy Father has granted marriage, your sister will not be able to be a wife after marrying her. Although our Xue family is unbearable, there is no reason for a legitimate daughter to be a concubine."
"If this is true, not only will others laugh at me, but even if I die, I will be too embarrassed to see you and the ancestors of your Xue family!"
Xue Pan said angrily: "Everyone lives their own lives behind closed doors. As long as my sister lives a good life, that's all. Who cares about the death of others? If anyone wants to laugh, just let them laugh."
"I told you to betroth your sister to Brother Huan as soon as possible, but you just didn't listen. Now, I'm going to be reduced to a concubine. If I don't seize this opportunity, I'm afraid I won't even be a concubine. !”
Aunt Xue became even more angry after hearing this.
She said angrily: "Is this how you treat a brother? Are you bent on exchanging your sister for your wealth? How many benefits has Brother Huan given you? Do you want you to sell your sister to him?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Pan was so angry that his whole body trembled, and he immediately looked for a knife everywhere.
"Mom, I didn't expect that in your eyes, I would be so miserable. If that's the case, then I'll find a knife, cut out my heart and show it to the old man. Is my heart black?"
"I want to show you, old man, who wants to exchange my sister for wealth? Who is really good for my sister! If our Xue family continues to be a woman like you, it will be over sooner or later!"
Aunt Xue was so angry that she couldn't breathe for a while. She couldn't stand upright and fell down on the chair. She said angrily: "Yes, I am a woman and I don't understand anything. I defeated the Xue family."
"You beast, go find a knife and kill me first. No one will stop you from this Xue family anymore. You will be the head of the family. This is what you want."
Seeing this, Xue Pan hurriedly knelt in front of Aunt Xue to comfort her. It was a big fuss for a while.
At this time, Xue Baochai walked in and said with tears: "Mom, brother, why are you making such trouble for me? No matter it is Baoyu or Brother Huan, I just don't want to marry. I will always stay at home and respect my mother. I will never marry again in my life.”
Aunt Xue said with tears in her eyes: "Bao girl, don't listen to your brother Hu Qin. This is a major event in your life. Mom only asks you who you want to marry. Let you make the decision. Mom won't complain in the end."
Hearing Aunt Xue's words, Xue Baochai shook his head and said, "Mom, I told you that I will never get married in this life. I will only stay with my mother to honor you. If you all come to force me, the worst is that I will cut off my hair and become an aunt."
Aunt Xue couldn't help but be shocked when she heard Xue Baochai's words.
How could she not hear that Bao Yatou actually looked down on Bao Yu.
If you are interested in Baoyu, you don't have to do this. Just say that your mother alone makes the decision.
But now she said that she would not marry anyone and was willing to stay at home, which meant that she was unwilling to marry Baoyu.
But it's hard to say that I want to marry Brother Huan.
After all, this marriage was not to be a wife, but to be a concubine. Not only was she wronged, but the Xue family was also disgraced.
Thinking of this, Aunt Xue sighed slightly.
Although she just said that Bao Yatou's marriage was her own decision, she originally thought that Bao Yatou was willing to marry Baoyu.
Now she actually refuses and just wants to marry Brother Huan.
Aunt Xue actually refused to agree.
When Xue Baochai saw that Aunt Xue had not spoken yet, her eyes darkened and she couldn't help but shed tears.
Xue Pan hurriedly said: "Sister, don't listen to mom, she is always being obscene and ignorant. Your marriage will be taken care of by my brother, and I guarantee you will be satisfied! Ouch, mom, don't hit, don't hit..."
But it turned out that Aunt Xue didn't agree with what Xue Pan said, and she became so angry that she couldn't help but pick up the feather duster and hit Xue Pan mindlessly.
Xue Pan cried out in pain, scurried away with his head in his hands, and disappeared in a flash. (End of chapter)
