The sun rises above the horizon and gradually creeps into the sky.

Everything around seemed to be starting to come back to life and come alive again.

More than ten miles south of Zhenlin, about 1,000 foot soldiers were cooking in a pot in a mountain col, and the steaming porridge mist mixed with the morning dew, filling the entire camp.

This is a camp hidden on the back of the mountain, and the ordinary camp is different, this camp does not seek danger, only seek concealment, so many tents are even scattered between the rocks, and even with branches and grass to tie some shelter, if not closer, it is not easy to detect that there is a camp here.

Xu Yu pushed away the front of the tent, used to cover the branches and grass shelves that were tied together to hide the tent, got out, stretched a big lazy waist, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes squeezed out by yawning, sniffed, found a stream not far away, squatted and snorted and washed his face with the cold stream water, and then he completely came to his senses.

Xu Yu shook his head, his neck made a gragra sound, he couldn't sleep well last night, so he felt a little groggy now.

Strictly speaking, it wasn't just last night, Xu Yu didn't sleep much during this period of time, since he took over this drudgery, he hasn't been able to sleep well, and he tosses enough every day, even Wei Du came and whispered to himself, "Your eldest brother's strength is ......."

It made Xu Yu himself very embarrassed.

But Xu Yu knew that this was exactly the effect Xu Huang wanted to achieve.

The eldest brother Xu Huang is still young, and his experience in the army is not long, so he just took this opportunity to establish the rules for discipline and mortals in the army, who told him to send it to the door?

It's already a bit of a shame to not be heavily responsible on the spot, and now let yourself out of such a task, although the hard work is a little harder, it can be regarded as a capital crime, and a living crime is inevitable......

"Xu Junhou, do you think you want to fight that flag today?" Qu Chang, Xu Yu's subordinate, asked while bringing the breakfast to him.

In the Han Dynasty, the sunrise was early, the sunset was late, two meals a day, and the soldiers were no exception, but because whether it was marching or fighting, it was a labor-intensive work, so the soldiers' meals were much higher than those of ordinary people, at least the rice bowl was thick, a bowl was full, and there were some wild vegetables and salted shredded meat, unlike some farmers, it was purely a pot of soup, and the dry ones were given to heavy laborers, and the wives and children drank the soup that seemed to be able to show the shadow of the person.

“…… Yesterday we played the horse-shaped flag, and the day before yesterday we played the Zhao-shaped flag or the Zhangzi flag? Xu Yu said with some uncertainty while taking over the rice bowl.

This can't be blamed on Xu Yu, there are too many flags in the past few days, and they are changed every day, and now they don't sleep well, and some are drowsy, and their brains haven't fully moved yet.

“…… This one...... It seems to be ......" and the length of the song is not quite sure.

Xu Yu raised his head slightly, blinked, tried to think about it, and said: "Let's play the flag today, it seems that the day before yesterday used the ...... of the Zhao character."

***********************

"Come on, come on, guess what Xu Junhou will do today......

In a tent near the gate of the Zhenlin camp, a few soldiers who had not yet taken the turn to be on duty finished eating their morning chests, and then they got together and opened a handicap.

For soldiers who go to the battlefield and will lose their heads at any time, gambling is the only entertainment in the army.

Although the generals knew, as long as it was not the kind of gambling that affected military discipline, such as gambling in the camp tent after the curfew, and a few people like this got together and gambled with a small amount of money, they basically didn't care.

Even the scholars are popular in the drama of Liubo, and some people have been awarded the title of official because they are proficient in Liubo. Chen Sui, a native of Duling, was a friend of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty when he was a commoner, and often accompanied the great-grandson of the emperor in distress to play Liubo, but I don't know if it was because of poor skills or other reasons, he lost a lot of money to Liu Xun.

Later, Liu Xun became the emperor, and immediately used Chen Sui as an official, and openly said in the edict appointing him as the Taiyuan Taishou: "The Taiyuan Taishou official is respectful and generous, and you can compensate for the gambling you lost that year......

"It's definitely not a horse flag! I just used the horse flag yesterday......"

"Zhao Ziqi! I bet on the Zhao flag, and the day before yesterday I used the Zhang flag, so it should be my turn to use the Zhao flag today! ”

"Cut, the mud is a melon skin, Xu Junhou uses it at will, and the mud thinks it's a turn......"

The old man in the tent smiled and did not speak, nor refute, took a small wooden card, wrote down the bets of the soldiers one by one with a knife, and then read it again, and then put it in his arms, and said: "Okay, it's almost time for us to take our shift, take the guys and go!" ”

Yishi walked to the front of the camp, just in time for the shift, and the guards of the camp post changed guards, and a few of them climbed up to the high camp watchtower, while the others were guarding near the winch on the camp gate......

Of course, it is not the old chief who is mainly responsible for the camp gate, but a song commander, and matters such as opening and closing the camp gate and whether to ring the alarm gong are all decided by the commander on duty.

"Come on! Come on! Xu Jun is here! The men above the camp shouted below.

A wide field of yellow dust rose in the distance, and several flags were looming in the billowing yellow dust.

"What kind of flag are you holding?"

“…… I can't see clearly, wait, look at the mud and ...... anxiously."

"See Le! It's a flag! It's a banner! A soldier above the camp sentry laughed, and then shouted below.

There were a few low cheers and a few sighs......

Getting closer, Xu Yu arrived at the front of the camp, saw the old chief who showed his head on the wall, and said with a smile: "Old Zhangtou, it's your turn to guard the camp gate today?" ”

"Yes! Thanks to the blessing of the Marquis of the Army......" The old man replied with a smile.

"Thanks to me?" Xu Yu couldn't react for a while, what did this mean?

Qu Chang, who was on duty at the camp gate, saw that Xu Yu was indeed correct, so he gave the order to open the camp gate.

While leading people, the old chief pushed the heavy camp gate winch hard, and at the same time shouted the trumpet: "One, two, increase your strength...... One or two, the military marquis is back...... One or two, it doesn't matter if you win or lose...... One, two, tomorrow is in the flip ......"

“……”

Xu Yu, who was under the camp gate, shook his head speechlessly.

**********************

And just when Xu Yu entered the Zhenlin camp with his foot soldiers, several Xianbei scouts slowly fell down from the grass of a small dirt bag about ten miles away from the Zhenlin camp, and only then did they run backwards under the cover of the dirt bag, and met the other two or three Xianbei scouts who were guarding the horses behind a bush, and then turned over and rode north towards the Xianbei camp......
