After the cooked meal was served, the soldiers, who had been hungry for a day, devoured it.

Everyone carried heavy bags on their backs, and it was really tiring to walk for a day in such a hot weather.

After eating, the soldiers jumped into the nearby river in twos and threes and washed their bodies.

"It's so comfortable, this water, it's much more comfortable all of a sudden."

"Yes, I left today, and on this day's road, I sweated a lot on my body, and my clothes were glued to my body."

"Let's wash it quickly, go back and change to another group of brothers, that wave of brothers is also very hot."

At night, after the soldiers had set up camp in secret, they lay down horizontally and vertically.

Rouge is no longer a military advisor, and with his original identity, he naturally wants to sleep in the same camp with Wushuang.

The two were lying on the bed, with the child in the middle.

"Wushuang, are you angry that I brought the child."

"I'm really a little angry, didn't we discuss it before, you also know that the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, what if you get hurt?"

"I know what you said, but I just can't bear it, we can go back to see the child in a few days, but this time it's not accurate, I'm really reluctant."

"Okay, now that the child has been brought, it's too late to say anything, let's pay more attention to the safety of some children."

"Well, Wushuang, you haven't been in the military camp for a long time, many things are still not very clear, you are with your grandfather and uncle, if you don't understand, you must ask them more."

Wushuang listened to what Rouge said, knowing that it was for his own good, but he didn't know why he was a little reluctant to listen.

"I know, I'm tired after a day's walk today, so let's rest early!"

Rouge only thought that Wushuang was really tired, and he didn't say anything.

"Okay, go to bed early!"

The next day, Rouge got up early in the morning to prepare a meal.

The sky was bright, and the soldiers also got up to help prepare the meal, and the tents were pulled out of the tents, and the division of labor and cooperation was very fast, and they were ready.

After breakfast, a new day's march began, and the end of June was almost July, it was the hot season, and as soon as the sun rose, many soldiers were already drenched in sweat.

The sun was even hotter today than yesterday, and many of the ladies were sitting in the carriage, miserable.

The crying of children, when it reached the ears of the soldiers, was particularly noisy.

Make the already hot season even more annoying.

After walking for a long time, I didn't see a place with a water source and a large open space.

Zhao Changqing: They were a little anxious.

Continuing on the way, I found a flat place with a water source nearby, some distance but not far.

Today's sun is hotter than yesterday's, but today is even later than yesterday when I found a rest camp.

Many of the soldiers had their lips bursting and were a little dizzy as soon as they stopped.

The Huotou Army quickly set up the stove, and those female dependents were also very affected today, so they didn't go to help.

Only Rong Yin and Rouge supported to help make the meal.

It's not that they have to really help out with something, but they have to have that heart, and sometimes the heart is really important.

After eating, the soldiers rushed to the river, and everyone played in the river, so that the fatigue of the day could be dissipated.

Sleeping in the woods at night, there were many mosquito bites, the soldiers, tired from the daytime, some of the soldiers who were too lazy to wash fell to sleep, the smell of sweat on their bodies attracted mosquitoes, so that they had to get up and walk towards the river.

The next day, because the weather was hot these days, everyone got up relatively early, took advantage of the cool morning, and hurried more.

With the lesson of the previous day, the soldiers filled their jugs with water and drank a delicious drink by the river before leaving.

At the end of June and the beginning of July, it was the hot time.

There was not a single cloud in the sky, and the sun hung high in the sky.

The soldiers got up early and hurried, and now the sun was shining on them, and they were tired, but they were forced to endure.

Some of the soldiers who were in poor shape were already crumbling, supported by the people around them.

Zhao Changqing and Wushuang saw this situation and only felt a little uncomfortable.

But there was not a cloud in the sky, and they did not know where to ask for rain.

"General Zhao, seeing that this is getting hotter and hotter, it is not yet noon, and some soldiers can't bear it.

At noon, the weather will be hotter, and more and more soldiers will be unable to stand it, should we stop and repair? ”

"No, it's not here yet, noon hasn't reached the hottest time, if we stop at this time, then we will have to walk for a while and stop for a while, what does such a march look like?"

"But General Zhao, those soldiers really can't stand it anymore, and they almost faint."

"I fainted, and there were people next to me to support me, and it was not yet the hottest time, and the soldiers who fainted were too poor in physical fitness."

Wushuang didn't know, why Zhao Changqing was so considerate of those soldiers on the first day, why was he not considerate today?

"General Zhao, why did you let everyone rest easily on the first day, but today is so hot, but you didn't let everyone stop and repair."

"Wushuang, you haven't marched with the troops, the first day was because everyone started marching, and there was a lot of enthusiasm in it, so to a large extent, everyone didn't feel tired.

But today, if some people are asked to stop and repair, there are many soldiers who will pretend to faint in order to repair. ”

"But there are really soldiers inside who are going to faint."

"I knew there were soldiers who were going to faint, and like I said, the soldiers were so poor that they had to be exercised.

Only this kind of exercise can make their physical fitness continue to improve, and then they can march better, we are not walking for a day or two, this time to Cangzhou, is just the first step we take.

Our ultimate goal is the capital, and we need a strong army, and strong army soldiers must have good physical fitness. ”

"General Zhao, I know, then let's find a good place to camp in the afternoon, and then I will ask the leader army to boil more soup to clear the heat and relieve the heat, and give it to those soldiers."

"Yes, we can only do this, and we can't encourage those soldiers to think that they should rest if they are weak."

At noon, the sun has circled overhead, the scorching sun, scorching the earth, some of the soldiers who are not in good health have fainted, and the soldiers next to you, most of you are shaking, just supporting with the last trace of consciousness.

Everyone dragged their feet and walked forward step by step.

"Everyone walks forward hard, there is a water source in front, we can be stationed, everyone can have a good rest."

Wushuang shouted and inspired everyone.

One of the soldiers stopped to drink, took the jug from his waist, tilted his head and took a sip, then handed it to the others beside him.

Everyone only takes a sip and then subconsciously licks their lips.

After drinking the water, everyone continued on their way.

The sun gradually detoured overhead, and in the west, it was already dusk.

The sun no longer baked the earth, so the weather was still very stuffy, but without the sun's rays, many soldiers were able to regain their spirits.

The vanguard found a water source and reported the garrison to Zhao Changqing and Wushuang.

As this continued, everyone knew that they had arrived at the garrison shortly before, and the soldiers, who had already reached the brink of duty, regained a trace of vitality.

Walking towards the front, it was only when they reached the camp that they could sit down and rest.

When they arrived at the camp, everyone sat down on the ground, and their legs didn't bother to move.

Even if the posture is not so comfortable, everyone is too tired and tired.

Huotou Jun took a short rest to prepare dinner for everyone, and everyone drank rice porridge and ate dry food, and only then did they recover some vitality.

The soldiers who were lying on the ground with pale faces that Wushuang looked at couldn't move forward the next day according to their appearance.

"General Zhao, are we going to repair for a day, most of these soldiers have signs of heat stroke after today's march, if tomorrow is as hot as today, I'm afraid our army will have heat stroke."

Zhao Changqing looked at the soldiers lying on the ground, although he couldn't bear it, he still shook his head.

"We must march, even if tomorrow is as hot as today.

The soldiers are resting here, there will still be the sun tomorrow, the rest time is too long, the soldiers will have a slack mind, this is the first few days, after which we still have a long way to go, the morale of the soldiers is very important, and we can't be loose at this time. ”

Wushuang knew that Zhao Changqing was teaching him, so he only nodded.

"I see."

There was still some cool breeze at night, and the soldiers didn't even bother to set up tents, so they slept in the open air.

There are only a few tents, which are for the use of women's dependents.

The march was too difficult, and many of the ladies complained of misery.

Reprimand from their husbands.

"Do you think it's just your hard work, you're still sitting in the carriage, look at the soldiers, they're all walking on their own legs!

Look at the ladies of the Zhao family, they are the general's family members, and they are also the daughters, but they are riding horses and marching under the scorching sun, what qualifications do you have to complain here. ”

Those women are already weak, and they naturally can't adapt to the hardships, and when they are reprimanded by their husbands, they can't help but shed tears.

"What are you crying, if you cry again, get out, what is crying and crying, you must look like a soldier in the barracks."

"I'm not a soldier, I'm just here to take care of you."

"Since you're here to take care of me, then serve me well, don't cry all day here, look at it and make you upset, if you can't stand it, go back by yourself."

The general was also short-tempered, and the woman next to him stopped crying in fright with just a few words.
