Chapter 138: The Good and Bad of the Year

Mu Lingxuan didn't know his own Lao Tzu's thoughts, he was very satisfied with this arrangement, he always followed behind his father, he didn't have his share in the battle, and he was inevitably constrained to do chores, and he thought a lot. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Now that I'm in charge of my own house, I can fight as much as I want, and I can do whatever I want, this feeling of freedom is really refreshing!

Not to mention, Gutian City was also accepted by him as he wished, and none of his henchmen were in a better mood than one recently, none of them were willing to take it with him in Pingjing, even if they didn't know any martial arts, they also went to Gutian City to be busy receiving all kinds of benefits left by Mu Yishan.

This year's weather was cold early, and the time when the troops guarding the border were stationed in the pass was also more than ten days earlier, according to Mu Lingxuan's meaning, he wanted to leave Lin Huaide in the relatively safe rear of Gutian City, and let him follow Peng Yanning to do general affairs together.

But Lin Huaide was already provoked to come with him, how could he not come out of Gutian City?

After tossing for a long time, in the end, he didn't even set foot in the Xuhu Pass on the front line, didn't that leave people a laughing stock in vain?

immediately protested with a clear attitude, and in the end followed Mu Lingxuan's army and entered Xuhu Pass.

Compared with the Gutian City in the rear, the conditions are really much worse, this is an important border pass, and it has to be baptized by the beacon fire every year, therefore, there are not many people, most of them are businessmen who do business, and there are related personnel who serve the army, and the rest are criminals who have broken the law and filled the army here.

Therefore, he lived in an adobe house and ate a big pot of rice, if it wasn't for the first day here, he would have followed Mu Lingxuan to the top of the city, feeling the indescribable vicissitudes of life, and a huge sense of belonging to this century-old border pass, Lin Huaide really felt that he had nothing to do, and he was guilty of himself.

Fortunately, the days that follow are not boring, Mu Lingxuan has a lot of things to do every day, he has to go to the playground in the morning, train with the soldiers in person, and discuss and study with the generals and strategists at noon, and see that the focus of this year's Rong Di army will be rested at that pass, and what are his own strategies to deal with the enemy.

Throughout the day, most of the time was demonstrated to the huge sand table in the house, if Xuhu Pass was taken care of, how to arrange troops, delay time, and wait for rescue.

If Kinmen Pass is pressed by a large army, how can Xuhu Pass send troops to help Kinmen Pass while ensuring the safety of this pass.

In the same way, Huwei Pass is also in the middle of the exercise.

Lin Huaide is not very interested in the morning exercises, but he is very interested in the sand table drills in the afternoon.

There is no other reason, a battle, for a general who leads the army, there is a new way of playing, and individuals have their own opinions, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are ever-changing, which is particularly attractive.

In the days of such drills, drills, repetitions and repetitions, the first snow in the West finally fell from the sky to the world.

It's just one night, he put on a heavy white cotton jacket for Xuhuguan, Lin Huaide saw such a big snow for the first time, and the snow didn't mean to stop, it continued to fall, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart.

took Lin An and them to the school early, and along the way, Lin Huaide found that there was no joy on everyone's faces, and the expressions of one or two were so dignified.

While he was strange, he was also secretly thinking in his heart, when he figured out some key points, Lin Huaide's originally brisk steps gradually became heavy.

Obviously, today's miscellaneous laborers, migrant workers, and porters are much busier than in the past, some pushing wheelbarrows, some carrying burdens, and some driving donkey carts, and they are in a hurry, as if they are facing something big.

When he arrived at the school ground, Lin Huaide was on the wooden platform in the south, and for the first time he didn't see Mu Lingxuan's figure, and the person who supervised the soldiers' drills on the high platform was Deputy General Mu Yiming of the White Tiger Battalion, and the main general Zhong Zhiqiang was not on the stage.

Mu Yiming is Mu Lingxuan's brother, and Mu Lingxuan pulled it up, not to mention that he is loyal to Mu Lingxuan, Mu Lingxuan also values him very much, he loves to take him wherever he goes, Lin Huaide has many opportunities to meet him, and he has long been familiar with it.

Because he is familiar, he has few scruples, Lin Huaide thought about it for a while, and rushed to the wooden platform in three steps and two steps, pulled Mu Yiming's arm, and asked what the hell was going on.

Mu Yiming still has a good impression of this smart-minded little county king who is not afraid of hardship, although he is in a very bad mood, he still patiently explains, "The county prince doesn't know, this summer, the weather in the west is hotter than in previous years, and the grassland is not much better. ”

"Now, it's such a goose feather snow, and when the snow stops, I don't know how many cattle and sheep will freeze to death, Rong Di has always fed on cattle and sheep, and the year is so bad, it can be seen that this year's offense must be menacing."

"Around our Xuhu Pass, there are more than a dozen large and small villages and towns, and the prince has now gone to discuss whether to move the people to a safe place first, and then it will be possible to reduce unnecessary casualties."

Lin Huaide asked in confusion, "What?" Didn't you transfer in previous years? ”

Mu Yiming shook his head and sighed: "Alas, if the year is good over there for Rong Di, the number of people and horses who come to us to plunder in winter will be reduced a lot, and those who can get by will not come here to die." ”

"Therefore, most of them are particularly warlike tribes, and those who are not greedy enough to rob rich places, and they are naturally disdainful of poor mountain villages and county seats.

"But if the year is not good, the Rongdi people who have nothing to eat, will take bows and arrows and step on war horses, come to us to find a way to live, these people are really unscrupulous in order to have enough food for their families, and there is no strict organization, just like the headless flies who have to run around, and grab them wherever they go."

"Villages in some remote places are often looted because they are not taken care of, and even chickens and dogs are left ......behind."

When Lin Huaide heard this, his mood was also very heavy, but he still asked, "So, is there more when the year is bad, or is there more time when the year is good?" ”

Lin Yiming glared and shouted, "It must be a good year!" ”

"If it's always such a bad year, how many sturdy sons and daughters we have in the West will not be enough to fill in the front line!"

Speaking of this, he said proudly, "You are also from the capital, don't you know that our western region has not allowed the imperial court to increase troops for five consecutive years!" ”

There is no increase in troops, which means that there is no consumption, why did Emperor Baotai always take gentle measures towards the Mu family, and he never forced him too much, probably because Mu Detai was particularly knowledgeable, right?
