Chapter 75 Tiger Talisman
"Any questions?"

Seeing Wang Yao standing there in a daze, Zhuge Liang asked calmly.

Wang Yao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Is this position too high for me? Are you sure you are right?"

To be honest, Wang Yao still finds it hard to believe that it is so easy to get a rank in the legion. You know, 1000 soldiers may not sound like a lot, but once they are really lined up, the scene is definitely scary!
Is he really capable of doing this job?
Strictly speaking, he has only been in the legion for a month. Even if he performed well in the canyon battlefield, it is far from possible for him to rise to such a level, right?
This feeling is as if I had just won a gold rank qualifying match, but when the result came out, I was directly promoted to the king rank. It was so absurd and unreal!

Or was it actually a back door that Liu Bei opened for himself?
When everyone heard Wang Yao's words, they were stunned, and then they all looked at him with strange eyes.

"Hmph, should I say that this kid is too hypocritical, or that he really has no interest in fame and power?" Zhang Fei couldn't help but ask Guan Yu in a low voice.

Guan Yu did not answer, but looked at Wang Yao with admiration, stroking his long beard and nodding frequently.

Zhuge Liang said, "That's right. In the legion, any promotion to a rank of captain or above requires the consent of at least three heroes. Regarding your promotion this time, three heroes present have agreed."

Three heroes?

Wang Yao was stunned. This meant that there was a hero who disagreed with his promotion? Who could it be?

"So what do you mean? Are you willing to accept it?" Zhuge Liang asked again.

Wang Yao fell silent. To be honest, if he had been presented with such an honorific title when he first came to Jingzhou, he would have certainly been happy to accept it.

Just imagine, there are 1000 soldiers obeying his orders. As long as he gives an order, the army can flatten everything in sight in a short time. How high-spirited is that? "To complete the king's affairs and win a good reputation before and after death", isn't this the dream of every passionate man?

But now, for Wang Yao, who had experienced a brutal war, this title made him timid.

Wang Yao didn’t understand before, but now, after witnessing the deaths of too many soldiers, he began to understand the heaviness of life and gradually realized that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

The title of a thousand-man captain seems glorious, but in fact it carries an extremely heavy burden of responsibility. If one is not careful and causes the destruction of 1000 soldiers, it will be an unbearable sin for Wang Yao!

This is what Wang Yao doesn't want to see.

However, just as Wang Yao was hesitating, a sweet cough suddenly rang out.

Wang Yao looked up and found that Luna was looking at him with a sweet smile. Her fair face and clear eyes were full of encouragement.

Just like he encouraged her that night in the jungle.

Looking at Luna's smile, Wang Yao's hesitation and concerns disappeared for some reason, and were replaced by resolute determination.

He understood that this determination was only because of this girl. But no matter what the reason was, at least from this moment on, Wang Yao's fate changed.
so be it!!

Taking a deep breath, Wang Yao turned to Zhuge Liang and bowed, saying, "I am willing to accept it."

"Then, this is your military token." Zhuge Liang glanced at Luna beside him inconspicuously, then took out a copper product from the drawer on the side and placed it on the desk.

"From today on, you will be the captain in charge of the seventh main force of the Shanglu Army. I hope you will work hard, fulfill your mission, and make great achievements for our Shu Kingdom!"

Wang Yao nodded solemnly, walked over, and picked up the military token on the commander's desk with both hands. The so-called military token was actually half a tiger-shaped copper product, but why was it half a piece? Wang Yao didn't quite understand.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang had already stood up from the commander's desk and said, "I will send a soldier to take you to the camp of the Seventh Main Force to take up your post at 11:00 the day after tomorrow. Now, let's activate the teleportation array back to Jingzhou."

After saying this, Zhuge Liang was the first to walk out of the camp.

"I just thought you would refuse the promotion of military advisor!" As soon as Zhuge Liang left, Luna immediately came to Wang Yao's side.

Wang Yao looked at Luna, smelling the faint fragrance emanating from her body, and just smiled without saying anything. Then he turned his gaze to the half piece of military token in his hand.

"What's wrong?"

"Uh, nothing much, it's just a little strange, why is this military token only half a piece?"

"Because this is the certificate that heroes use to mobilize troops." Luna blinked her beautiful eyes, "The soldiers call it the Tiger Tally. It is divided into two halves, one half is in the hands of Emperor Zhaolie, and the other half is in the hands of the captain who leads the troops. Once the need arises, our hero must get the other half of the Tiger Tally. The two must be combined into one to mobilize the army."

After a pause, Luna smiled and said, "You must keep it well. This tiger talisman is what countless soldiers dream of getting. At the same time, it also symbolizes your status! Showing the tiger talisman at a critical moment can bring you many conveniences in the legion."

"So that's how it is." Wang Yao suddenly realized.

Yes, a great empire would have strict military rules for its armies, otherwise it would be a mess. Moreover, how could an emperor easily give the power to dispatch troops to others?

"Okay, we'll take a closer look after we get back. Let's go out first. The military advisor is waiting for us." The girl, who seemed to be in a good mood, pulled Wang Yao out of the camp and turned back to say, "Brother Yu, General Zhang, we're going out first!"

Soon, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were the only ones left in the huge military tent.

"Third brother, do you think these two children seem to be a little too close?" Guan Yu said with a meaningful smile.

However, he noticed that Zhang Fei next to him had an expression that looked a little strange.

"What's wrong, third brother?" Guan Yu couldn't help but ask.

"Second brother, I have clearly opposed it, but why did you agree to promote this guy named Wang Yao to the position of captain of a thousand men? Is it just because he was brought by Hua Mulan?" Zhang Fei said with a gloomy face.

"Don't you find that Wang Yao has an unusual aura? I don't know why, but since I met him, I always feel that he is very special." Guan Yu smiled calmly.

"Perhaps you didn't notice that when my brother and I went to meet Captain Mulan, it was clearly the first time we met, but Wang Yao was able to call out our names accurately, as if he had known us for a long time. Isn't this amazing? Moreover, judging from his performance just now, I believe Wang Yao is qualified for the position of captain."

Zhang Fei, who seemed to have finally lost his patience, suddenly roared: "Then do you know that you are the actual commander of the Shanglu Army, but Zhuge Liang appointed an outsider as the captain of a thousand men. This is actually a disguised way of reducing your military power in Shanglu?!"

"Third brother, shut up!" Guan Yu's expression was unusually solemn: "Everything Mr. Zhuge did was for our Shu Kingdom. I won't allow you to be so rude!"

"For our Shu Kingdom?" Zhang Fei suddenly smiled coldly and said, "Second brother, do you know that since Zhuge Liang came, many captains in the army have been replaced by his confidants? Do you also know that when Zhuge Liang appointed Wang Yao, he also appointed another person to my bottom lane army?!"
