When Zhao An followed the four people to the beacon tower, everything was in ruins. There are no people stationed on this platform, it seems like it has been abandoned for a long time.

"The five of you are stationed here on the East Terrace and you must always put someone on guard. Once a beacon fire is lit on the North Terrace and the West Terrace, you must also light the beacon fire. If it is lit randomly in private, the five of you will be punished by military law." A city official Looking at Zhao An and the other five people, he shouted sharply.

"Yes, yes," the voices of several people sounded sparsely, untidyly, and filled with fear.

It's not surprising to hear this sound.

It seems that this scene has long been accustomed to him

"You, now I appoint you as the corps leader, now you are in charge of this beacon tower," Nadu pointed at the middle-aged man who was the oldest among the five people and said.

"Young man, you can't carry it with your shoulders or lift it with your hands. This corps commander would never dare to do it. Please choose the best person." When the middle-aged man heard that he was promoted, not only was he not happy, but his face turned pale with fear.

This is not a good thing. It would be better if nothing happens. If something happens, we will definitely find the person responsible.

Although the middle-aged man doesn't have much courage, he still knows it very well. This person in charge must never be the person in charge.

"Huh..." Nadu looked at the middle-aged man shivering and snorted dissatisfied.

But just when he was about to show off his power and teach this disobedient middle-aged man a lesson, a young man suddenly stepped forward and said, "Du Tou, why don't you be promoted to the rank of corps leader?"

It was Zhao An who spoke. Although the corps leader could only manage four people, including him, the number was only five. But this is also the best way to start on your own

"What's your name?" Nadu glanced at Zhao An and asked.

"The student is Li Cheng, a scholar from Zhending Mansion." Zhao An did not immediately change his identity. After all, everyone now believed that he was the scholar who was arrested. Unfortunately, Zhao An could only continue to use his identity for the time being.

"Show, scholar!" At this moment, it was Na Na's turn to be surprised.

The founding emperor of the Song Dynasty started his career through a military coup, and the status of all warriors in the Song Dynasty was severely suppressed.

At this moment, a scholar suddenly appeared.

This made Nadu's head and heart jump.

If you are a distinguished scholar, you may already be qualified to go to the Ministry of Personnel for official selection.

Although a scholar can only be the second-in-command of a county, such as the county magistrate.

But this is far hundreds of times more powerful than his Dutou.

After all, the chief police officer under the county magistrate is only the captain of the same level as himself. We can manage up to 100 people at most.

Although the scholar in front of me is now under his management, it seems that he has a bad reputation after coming out of prison. But once one of his classmates gets promoted, or the scholar becomes cruel and stops taking the exam, he goes directly to the official selection process. Such a person cannot afford to offend even a small person.

At this moment, a soldier behind Nadu Tou came forward with a roster, whispered something to Du Tou, and pointed at the names on the roster.

"If you don't pay back the money you owe..." Dutou muttered quietly.

"Young Master Xiucai is really courageous and knowledgeable to stand up and relieve the country's worries. Now I am appointing you as chief to manage the three beacon towers on the border. These three beacon towers are under your management. I will send people to deliver food every three days. Supplies, count the roster." As Du Tou spoke, someone gave a roster to Zhao An.

This is the list of fifteen people on the three beacon towers, as well as a brief background introduction

"Master Xiucai must patrol the border every day. Be careful of people who have become deserters. A large number of people will be patrolling the border soon. Don't make any mistakes then." When Du Tou handed the roster to Zhao An, he still whispered Kindly reminded

"Thank you for your kindness, students must be careful." Zhao An said with his fists imitating the ancients.

After all the deliveries were completed, everyone ordered people to bring in some firewood, wolf dung, and firewood, and then rushed back to Black Bear Pass overnight as if they were running for their lives.

At night, Zhao An looked at the roster under the oil lamp, feeling filled with pain in his heart.

There are a total of 15 people on this roster, but none of them have served in the military.

Ten of them were friends in prison, and five were young men captured later.

Among these prison friends, two of them are waiters in a restaurant, and they are also waiters in the same store.

The shopkeeper reported that the two had stolen money, and the government also found 20 taels of stolen goods in their residence.

After Zhao An asked the two of them, they both looked angry.

"If the two of us had stolen so much money, we would have gone away a long time ago. Why would we just put it under the pillow and wait for someone to catch us?" It was obvious that the two of them had been framed, and the shopkeeper was the most suspicious.

The middle-aged man on the same beacon tower as Zhao An is a storyteller.

A tea house that has been hanging around in the market all year round, and a storyteller in the garden making a living.

Among the remaining seven people, two were thieves.

When they were stealing from a large household, they were caught red-handed by the nursing home.

The other five people also committed crimes and ended up in the cell. But they are all trivial matters.

Just because of trivial matters, the maximum sentence is three to five months.

Therefore, these people had no intention of escaping.

They plan to return home after three to five months.

After figuring out the backgrounds of these prison friends, Zhao An continued to look at the five captured men.

A father and son, a pair of brothers, and a lame man. These five people are actually from the same village

The father and son were just ordinary farmers, and the lame man had nothing to say.

It was the brothers who caught Zhao An's attention.

It is stated above that the two of them are hunters and make a living by hunting all year round.

After Zhao An asked the father and son, he learned that the two hunters were pretty good at it. Last winter, the two actually brought a bear back to the village.

A bear skin actually sold for eighty taels of silver.

"You are so rich and so skilled, why did you get caught as a young man?" Zhao An asked, looking at the lame man.

"The officers and soldiers threatened his elderly, wife and children, so they had no choice but to join the army. However, those who captured us said that as long as we served for half a year, they would let us go back home and continue to live our lives." The lame man looked at Zhao An explained.

These five young men are all family members.

They shouldn't run away.

As for these prison mates, they didn’t escape with their lives at first, and they probably won’t do it now.

As long as there is no war, they should not be desperate.

Zhao An's concerns about deserting soldiers were temporarily put aside.

Just being on the front line, how could Zhao An naively think that there was no war.

But before these wars catch up with you, you must work hard to get some military merit so that you can be promoted quickly.
