Heavy snow also covered Shanyang City.

As soon as the snow moved, everyone in Shanyang City seemed to slow down. In the land of the border fortress, it is already a customary rule not to fight troops in winter.

Even the ferocious steppe tribes regard marching and fighting as a daunting way in winter. Now in Mayi County, even if Wang Rengong and Liu Wuzhou have become black-eyed chickens. But in Shanyang's opinion, don't you have to drive the army in this ice and snow, just fight to the death?

In any case, we have to let everyone have a stable winter, even if it is a sea of corpses and blood in Mayi County in the coming spring, everyone will admit it. After all, in this world, the superiors fight each other, and the people can't do much except endure it.

And now in the Yingyang Mansion of Mayi, the military spirit is not very suitable for going into battle. A riot has only subsided, and people are still worried that Wang Rengong will settle the account, so they have to wait and see.

And that rout, although half-truths and half-falsehoods, but the enemy rushed forward, which also caused considerable damage to the morale of the army, and normally speaking, without a period of rest, it is rare to drive the army into battle again.

Half of the thousands of troops who gathered outside the city gate that day to make trouble arranged to enter the city, and half of them arranged to spend the winter camp outside the city, and they all made plans to rest and spend the winter.

I don't know if it was to appease the army, Wang Rengong allocated a large amount of materials to improve these winter camps, waterproof linoleum, cold silk cotton, heating firewood, a car drove into various camps, even in the city of clouds, the expensive wine, also did not hesitate to send over, not to mention a cavity of frozen sheep, a mouthful of pigs, bags of grain and rice, buckets of pickles, and the best Hedong white salt. It seems that Wang Rengong is ready to live next year, and he has turned over all his belongings.

And those troublesome generals even get together every three days and have a banquet every five days, all of which are entertained by Wang Rengong. Although Wang Rengong is rarely in person, Wang Zhongtong will attend many times, and the prince of the Wang family is willing to talk to these local generals a little bit, which has made these vulgar generals overjoyed, and they feel that they are more than looked down upon compared to before.

And those recruited from all over the world who did not get along well with the local indigenous army generals and performed really badly, Wang Rengong also scattered many people, and even sent them out of Mayi County. This made the Mayi indigenous generals think that Wang Rengong really wanted to regard them as his confidants.

In a word, this winter, everyone in Mayi Yingyang Mansion thought that they would have a good winter. As for the fight in the coming year, everyone will eat this bowl of rice, what can they complain about when the time comes?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In a military camp outside the city, there was a peaceful atmosphere at the moment.

The barracks was located at the foot of the mountain, where it was sheltered from the wind. Fences, ditches, watchtowers, and watchtowers are readily available. Inside the camp, in addition to the Chinese army's cowhide warm tents, there are rows of ground nests, covered with linoleum, and flues are also left.

Although the scale-like nests may look shabby, they are the most practical in winter camps. It is material-saving and warm, except that the air is slightly muddy, there are no other drawbacks.

In the past, the barracks were required to be quiet and strict, and they were most afraid that the sergeants would privately connect with each other and set off a clamor in the camp. However, now these sergeants have all made a strong contribution to the generals, and there is a situation where Wang Rengong retreats and is encircled. In the winter camp, there is no threat of hostility, who will come to detain them.

As long as there was no heavy snowfall, the sergeants were afraid that they couldn't breathe well in the nest during the day, so they all came out, and groups of three or five gathered together, raised piles of fires, boiled soup and hot wine, whispered and laughed, and passed the long winter.

Chen Xi was surrounded by a dozen brothers, sitting in front of a fire, not even wearing a leather robe, in the cold wind is a sackcloth, with the strength of wine, he does not feel any cold. A cavity of sheep hung from the fire, and several soldiers took care of it, sprinkled salt and smeared with precious spices, and roasted slowly. Seeing that the fire was almost over and the aroma was coming through, a sergeant pulled out a dagger, unloaded a large piece of meat from the sheep's shoulder blade and handed it to Chen Xi.

Chen Xi took it, he was not afraid of being hot, he opened his mouth to take a mouthful, and the scars on his face looked extremely hideous.

The sergeants also started to cut off the meat and munch on it, a sweet swallowing sound. After a few mouthfuls of meat, a sergeant patted his belly and said with satisfaction: "If you don't make a fuss, who knows that there will be these benefits?" Those big people are fighting for the world, let's follow them, it can be regarded as a bit of oil and water, and it is not in vain to eat this bowl of rice with a knife head licking blood! Wait until next year, even if you fight with Liu Ying, it will not be in vain! ”

Chen Xian spit out the meat residue in his mouth with a snort, and his eyes were a little red: "Look at this look, can you still win against Liu Ying?" The winter slaughter is the day of training and reorganization. In the past, in winter, either in the heavy snow to practice formation, or in the cold to practice martial arts, the more severe the cold, the more fierce the practice. Whoever shrinks his head and brains will be knocked by the rod! Wandering like this for a winter, and Liu Ying hit the Heng'an soldiers, if you win the battle, a certain Chen character is written upside down! ”

The sergeants stopped moving, these sergeants were all brothers who had changed their lives intimately, and someone came over at that moment, and asked in a low voice: "Then if we see the battle in the spring next year, we will simply go to the ............."

Chen Xi's face became more and more gloomy, and he shook his head: "What's the point of winning in the battle array?" I can't stand people not fighting with you! Liu Yingzhu still can't do it, Liu Yingzheng has no food! ”

The sergeants all listened quietly to Chen Xi's words.

“………… As soon as the grain of the four fields was harvested and retracted into Shanyang City, Liu Ying could not move, and the army would have to starve and scatter. At that time, Wang Taishou can walk and cut off Liu Yingzhu's head............ I only hope that Wang Taishou still has a little conscience, so that the people of Mayi can spend this winter, and then say, in the spring, the little grain will be collected, at least the road will be snowless, the weather will get warmer, and everyone can escape to Hedong to earn their lives! ”

The sergeants were silent, and Chen Xi just said to himself: "It's the people of Mayi who suffer!" Last year, I broke the family and the Turkic war, and this year I may have to starve to death! What Wang Taishou, what Liu Yingjing, as long as whoever can keep the people of Mayi safe, who can take us to fight the Turkic dogs, will follow whom! Now look at it, Wang Rengong is not such a person! ”

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and I saw that the battalion would return to the camp surrounded by a bunch of guards, and the battalion general was also drunk, but he couldn't see much joy, and the surrounding guards also had serious faces, hugging him and hurried to the Chinese army to warm the tent. Along the way, the fire sergeants got up one after another and saluted the battalion general.

When passing by Chen Xian's group of people, the battalion general glanced at Chen Xian. Chen Xi didn't look up, and sat on his own. When the sergeants got up to salute, they were all worried, for fear that Chen Xi would say something to cause trouble.

Chen attacked this person, he has a big temper and a bad temper, and he can rush people when he opens his mouth. The qualifications in Mayi Yingyang Mansion are extremely old, that is, they can't be promoted.

Chen Xi was so rude, the battalion general didn't bother with him, but just tapped him with a whip: "You are the leader of the team, and you also went to a certain camp tent to talk!" It's time to make some effort to eat and keep these days! ”
