With weak eyes, Deputy General He glanced at Pang Da by the bedside.
Pang Da remained silent, his face showing helplessness and distress, indicating that he had indeed swallowed a lot of grievances.
Lieutenant General He snorted, his anger rising: "Lieutenant Pang's meaning is exactly what I mean. Those audacious soldiers should be punished directly. There's no need to be too polite to them, and they shouldn't think about me. If it were me, I would have punished them even more severely."
"Since they think Lieutenant Pang's position is too low, then I will go see Lord Lin right now and write a letter of recommendation to directly appoint Lieutenant Pang as a Lieutenant General, bypassing the Colonel. Let's see who dares to act recklessly then."
A senior deputy general could have two lieutenant generals under his command, but he never did so in order to avoid decentralizing power.
But now his health is not good. Fortunately, Lieutenant Pang is capable of handling all the trivial and important matters for him. Appointing him as a Lieutenant General will actually make things more convenient for him.
Anyway, Ponda was his confidant, one of his own, so there was nothing to be wary of.
Pang Da immediately and hastily refused: "General He, no, I am of meager ability, how can I shoulder such a heavy responsibility, I am afraid I will fail your expectations."
"General He is just a little tired from working hard in the military for so many years and needs to rest for a while. He is in good health. I am only taking over his duties for a short time because I want to share his burdens. I have no other intentions."
"Ahem." Deputy General He coughed twice: "Look how nervous you are, as if I've misunderstood you. I know who you are. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. In addition, you've been conscientious and hardworking these past few days, training so many soldiers to be in good order. I'm appointing you as a Lieutenant General. You're capable of it, so don't refuse anymore."
Ponda immediately knelt down to express his gratitude, his forehead hitting the ground heavily.
Although he expressed deep gratitude and a sense of undeserved thanks, a smug glint shone in his eyes.
He skipped the rank of colonel and became a lieutenant general in one fell swoop, a process that was much faster than he had imagined.
There are fewer than ten Lieutenant-Generals in the inner army, unlike the large number of Lieutenants and Colonels.
Reaching this position means having a certain degree of real power and being able to make decisions on many things.
As long as he performs well and his abilities are recognized by most people, he can take over the position of the four deputy generals once Deputy General He is finished.
Pang Da was secretly delighted.
"Old He, from now on, General Pang will share the burden with you. You don't need to worry too much about military affairs. Just take good care of your health." Deputy General Chen suppressed the urge to smile.
He originally didn't want to get involved in these things, but Pang Da promised him that if he helped him replace Vice General He, he would give him 10,000 of the 40,000 troops under his command.
As for Qian and Zhao, they had not been promoted in the army for many years. Pang Da assured them that once he was promoted, he would make them captains.
Isn't this much better than following that fat Deputy General He?
Having achieved their goal, the group bid farewell and left.
As he was leaving, Ponda glanced at the cypress tree one last time, his eyes filled with determination.
He is Pang Da, a man of destiny, and no one can stop his fate.
He suddenly had an even bolder idea: one day, he would replace General Lin's position as well.
Once you have a large army under your command, the emperor doesn't seem so scary anymore, and you might even start to covet the throne.
Thinking of this, Ponda was overjoyed.
No rush. You have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.
When Pang Da reached the door, Qiao Lian'er couldn't help but stretch out her foot.
Caught off guard, he stumbled and lost his balance, falling to the ground with a thud. His head hit the table leg, and his forehead immediately turned bruised. Pang Da let out a bloodcurdling scream.
