Although Zhong Dahu looks careless, reckless and rough on the surface, he is a smart man to be able to become a captain of a military town.
He immediately understood what Zhao Muyun meant by this.
Zhao Muyun had previously captured three Tartar heads, and now he had made such a great contribution, which was enough to make him rise to prominence.
Just for the merit of saving the Minister, few people on the border would dare to touch him in the future.
Zhao Muyun also took this opportunity to bring down Zhang Biao because Zhang Biao had bullied him too much and wanted to discredit his military achievements.
He did not take the opportunity to attack Zhong Dahu in front of Fan Nan. It seemed that he knew that he would have to work under Zhong Dahu in the future, so he left himself a way out.
At the same time, it also means showing goodwill to Zhong Dahu and being ready to join him!
This kid is quite interesting!
Suddenly, Zhong Dahu couldn't help but look at Zhao Muyun twice more.
Fan Nan's face didn't seem to show much emotion. He just looked at Zhong Dahu with a half-smile and asked, "Captain Zhong, is this really the case?"
"This... Brother Zhao is right, this is... this is what happened!"
Zhong Dahu quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind and decided to accept Zhao Muyun.
Zhang Biao is a guy who is more likely to cause trouble than to do anything else. Just abandon him!
Fan Nan looked at Zhong Dahu, then at Zhao Muyun, and said meaningfully, "Very good. Although Captain Zhong made mistakes in supervision and made inappropriate personnel selections, his planning and command this time were sound. His merits outweigh his faults, and he deserves to be commended and rewarded!"
"This is a humble position, thank you sir!"
Zhong Dahu was worried that Fan Nan would investigate the matter of Zhang Biao to the end, but now he can finally put his mind at ease.
He also knew that Fan Nan chose to let it go because of Zhao Muyun.
"Sir, I have something to say!"
"Captain Zhong, are you dissatisfied with my decision?"
"Your Excellency, you have misunderstood me!"
Zhong Dahu said hurriedly, "Zhang Biao has been dealt with, and the position of the sergeant of Yanqingdun Beacon Tower cannot be vacant. I would like to appoint Zhao Muyun as the sergeant!"
Zhong Dahu still knows how to return a favor!
He did this, firstly to respond to Zhao Muyun in time, and secondly mainly to show it to Fan Nan.
Fan Nan must have taken a liking to this kid, and he might transfer him away now and assign him to another position.
But when Zhong Dahu said this, he created a good relationship for himself.
When Wang Tiezhu, Tang Yanhai and Xiaowu heard this, they were all happy for Zhao Muyun.
Zhao Muyun was promoted to the position of chief and was in charge of Yanqingdun. The three of them had just followed Zhao Muyun through life and death, and the rewards came immediately.
But Zhao Muyun was calm and composed, as if everything had been expected by him.
"Ha ha!"
Fan Nan knew exactly what Zhong Dahu was planning. "You don't need to go through me when it comes to promoting or appointing your soldiers! Just wait until my student arrives and report to him!"
Yang Jian, the military commander of Shuozhou who was leading his troops, was actually Fan Nan's student?
However, there was no need for Fan Nan to mention this relationship in front of Zhong Dahu, a grassroots officer!
The only explanation is that he was standing up for Zhao Muyun.
Even if he returned to the capital, he would instruct his students to keep an eye on him and not let anyone else try to take advantage of Zhao Muyun.
Zhong Dahu suggested that Zhao Muyun be the squad leader, but Fan Nan pushed the idea onto his student and asked Zhong Dahu to report it himself according to the procedure. This meant that he had no intention of taking Zhao Muyun away for the time being!
But no matter what, it was definitely a very wise move for Zhong Dahu to propose to promote Zhao Muyun to the position of director in person.
"I understand!"
Zhong Dahu was very satisfied. "Sir, you see, Captain Yang will be here soon. How about I go over and bring him to you now?"
"Well, go ahead! I want to have a few words with this Brother Zhao alone!"
Fannan waved his hand.
Seeing this, Zhong Dahu ordered Tang Yanhai, Wang Tiezhu, Xiaowu and Han Zhong to return to the beacon tower first. He hurriedly mounted his horse and ran to pick up Yang Jian.
Fan Tong and other guards and staff also tactfully walked aside.
......
"Brother Zhao, I'm very curious about what exactly prompted you to leave your post without permission and convince your companions at the Beacon Tower to launch a surprise attack to rescue us!"
The others had already gone far away, leaving only Fan Nan and Zhao Muyun.
Fan Nan put away his kind smile and looked serious.
"It seems that nothing can be hidden from the adults' sharp eyes." Zhao Muyun said slowly.
If someone else had been asked this question by Fan Nan, they would have been scared to the point of being incoherent.
"Don't play dumb with me! Don't think you can act recklessly just because you saved us!" Fan Nan said sternly, "You haven't answered my question yet!"
"I don't want to be a soldier forever. I want to kill enemies and become a general!" Zhao Muyun blurted out without thinking.
"Why?" Fan Nan was stunned by Zhao Muyun's directness.
"Because a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier!"
Zhao Muyun answered loudly.
Fan Nan stared at Zhao Muyun in astonishment, chewing over his words. "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general...isn't a good soldier. Your rebuke of Zhang Biao just now already surprised me. I didn't expect you'd surprise me even more! You must be educated, but why didn't you take the imperial examinations and enter the government instead of joining the frontier army?"
"If studying is just for the sake of gaining a degree and becoming an official, then who will serve as a soldier to defend the border against foreign enemies?" Zhao Muyun smiled faintly. "Sir, you are also a scholar. Why do you also go to the border, climb dangerous peaks, survey the terrain, and understand the enemy situation?"
"Haha, young man, you really leave me speechless!" Fan Nan's face was filled with shock. "How did you know I was here to survey the terrain?"
