After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight

Chapter 253: Reward of Gold 2, Promotion to Captain

The captain also has some people under his command, and these people are the ones who truly follow him.

Therefore, these people subconsciously worried about him when he was fighting with Chu Xi.

As for the two people who took advantage of the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, they wanted to take the opportunity to gain merit.

They were anxious to make a contribution, so they didn't care that the captain was pointed at by Chu Xi's sword on the back, and they didn't care whether Chu Xi would kill the captain in a rage.

When the captain said this, many people sympathized with him, and many ordinary soldiers lowered their heads, as if their words had touched a sore spot.

Chu Xi lowered her eyes, "I know that some local military ethos is not good, so the soldiers under their command usually do not get fairness. It is understandable that you are resentful."

She was not so naive as to think that everyone was fighting for the Great Zhou.

For ordinary people, it is difficult for some of them to even survive.

There is no other choice except to join the army.

If they did not join the army, some people from poor families would even have problems getting food.

It is really too much to expect these ordinary soldiers who just want to fill their stomachs to care about the interests of their country and their families.

So, she never intended to persuade them with high-sounding words.

But get straight to the point.

"If I tell you that I can give you a fair future, are you willing to fight for the Great Zhou?"

"You are from the Great Zhou after all. You can't even get fairness from the Great Zhou army. If you go to Western Chu, do you think... can they give you fairness?"

No, they can't.

Even ordinary people who have not received much education know this truth.

It had only been a few days since they defected to the enemy and betrayed their country, but they already felt the discrimination in the army.

The people of Western Chu form their own faction, and Qi Jianshu, as their leader, will make the soldiers of Western Chu even more unscrupulous with his attitude.

With his instinctive resistance to the surrendered troops, the soldiers of Western Chu followed suit.

They bullied the soldiers of the Great Zhou even more unscrupulously, excluded them, and even mocked them for being afraid of death.

It is like this now, let alone in the future...

The captain fell into deep thought because of Chu Xi's words.

He ignored this issue because of his disgust and rejection of Wang Youren.

Now that Chu Xi mentioned it, he thought deeply and immediately realized the pros and cons.

Wang Youren's military management is certainly disgusting, but as people of the Great Zhou, they have joined the Western Chu, and the cold treatment they have received now is just the beginning.

The future will only get worse.

Chu Xi saw that some people were touched by his words, so he struck while the iron was hot.

"I know that my prestige in the army is not enough to make you trust me so much, but I am willing to protect my life as long as you do not surrender to the enemy in the future and are loyal to the Great Zhou."

"I will find a good place for you. The current commander of Xi'an City is the famous General Han. He is strict in his military discipline and will never allow a situation like what you described to happen."

The captain's heart was slightly moved, as he had heard of Han Yaojun's name in the army.

It is said that this man came from a family of military generals, and was a rare talent in military management.

Whenever he led his troops to fight a battle, he would win.

Moreover, he is the fastest promoted young general in the Great Zhou Dynasty and is only one step away from being granted a title of nobility.

However, the assessment for the Han Family Army is very strict, and other local armies may recruit every year. The first requirement for recruiting the Han Family Army is... northerners.

Not only must they be from the north, but they must also be from the cities closest to the Han family, which the Han family is in charge of.

The household registration requirement alone has kept many people who want to join the army out.

"Really?" someone asked impatiently.

Chu Xi saw hope and expectation in their eyes.

Obviously, Wang Youren's misconduct and partiality in military management have caused dissatisfaction among many of his soldiers.

The soldiers fought bravely on the battlefield, not only to defend their country, but also to carve out a path for themselves.

It is understandable that if they cannot get the fairness they want, they will become disheartened and lose hope in the court.

"Of course, my willingness to vouch for you is conditional. If a person changes his position repeatedly, he will lose trust."

Even if Chu Xi wants to win people over, he doesn't need to be a fence-sitter who keeps swaying from side to side.

People have limited patience, so she is willing to give them a chance, on the condition that... they don't change again.

"Once you return, no one will be allowed to change their stance. Otherwise, you will be punished by military law."

The young man had an elegant and gentle face, but when he said this, his eyes suddenly became sharp, making people dare not look directly at him.

Captain...

There is no need to hesitate.

If you can be a human being, who would be willing to be a dog for the enemy?

Especially since he had once fought with the people of Western Chu.

He has escaped death many times, made military achievements, and has countless scars on his body, but he still cannot get justice.

Those who are in power, on the contrary, live a life of drunkenness, singing and dancing.

Over time, my heart just grows cold.

"If you can do that, I will follow you wholeheartedly." The captain was not good at preaching, but spoke directly in a rough voice.

Chu Xi curled the corners of his lips slightly, "Okay."

With the captain's words, others began to express their opinions.

Originally they came to ambush Chu Xi and others, but now, it seems like they have come to the doorstep to be won over by Prince Chu!

The Xi Chu guards saw that the situation was about to get out of control, and they originally planned to ambush Chu Xi and others and do their best to slow them down.

However, they didn't expect that Chu Xi's appearance would cause the team's morale to drop and they lost their will to fight.

The personal guard spoke, and in order to arouse the killing intent of the crowd towards Chu Xi, he directly used his internal energy to spread his voice throughout the entire canyon.

"Kill him! The general will reward anyone who can kill him with a thousand taels of gold and promote him to the rank of captain."

As he spoke, he drew his sword, rushed to the front, acted as a pioneer, and set an example.

First there was Chu Xi's promise, and then there was the reward of 1,000 taels of gold, so many soldiers were stunned where they were.

...Well, wondering which side to choose?

Chu Xi turned the blade of the sword in her hand and easily knocked away the spear in the hand of the Western Chu man who was rushing towards her.

The soldiers of Western Chu often used spears, which did have certain advantages on the battlefield.

But this advantage is nothing in the face of absolute strength.

As the spear flew away, the guard continued to fight Chu Xi with his bare hands without giving up.

But he... was no match for Chu Xi. After only three moves, he was knocked down by Chu Xi, kicking him right in the chest.

The opponent fell to the ground with the kick. He gritted his teeth and didn't cry out in pain, but he couldn't get up for a long time.

When the words about bounty and promotion were uttered, not only could the ambushers in the valley hear them, but Zhou Yichen, who was withdrawing from the canyon and waiting for Chu Xi to join him, also vaguely heard some words.

Kill him...

This is naturally self-evident to him.

"Your Highness, don't be impulsive. The prince is a skilled martial artist, and nothing will happen to him."

Zheng Hao anticipated that Zhou Yichen would be impulsive, and leaned over to stop him without thinking.

Tang Juncheng next to him made a suggestion at the right time.

"Your Highness, we can outflank them from behind and catch them off guard, wipe them out in one fell swoop, and save Prince Chu."

"it is good."
