Chapter 2 Border Soldiers

He traveled to a world similar to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms of ancient China, and became a glorious frontier soldier.

A pawn in Beiliudun under Beiyang Town in this Wei State.

(For the convenience of writing, from now on, it will be called Chen Xu)

This Wei State should be part of the predecessor of modern China, but the history is unrecognizable, in history the Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han and three kingdoms, two Jin, Sui and Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, e, the great unified dynasty did not have one, history seems to have deviated from ancient times.

Chen Xu was also a little unsure whether this was a parallel time and space, or a completely different world. Chen Xu guessed that this should be a parallel time and space, at least Youzhou, Chang'an, Luoyang, Tokyo Daliangfu and other place names that exist in ancient Chinese history are also in this world.

On the border of Wei where he is now, Rouran in the north from time to time raids the Central Plains. The Hexi Corridor is occupied by the Dangxiang clan, and the land of clouds is in the pocket of the northern Rouran. The two most important horse-producing lands were not in the hands of the Central Plains Dynasty, and the military horses were scarce. The Rouran cavalry came and went like the wind, and the mobility was extremely strong, and the Wei State, which had few horses, could only sigh and be helpless. In order to defend against the enemy in the north, military forts and piers were set up from the previous dynasty. Up to now, there are hundreds of large and small military forts and piers, crisscrossing and crisscrossing, and they have become a big barrier for the northern nomads to keep the northern nomads in their throats.

Here is a few words, there are three major towns in the northern Xinjiang of the Wei State, Beiyang Town, Laiyang Town, and Pingyang Town, the three are centered on Beiyang Town, and the other two towns are each other's horns, which is a defensive barrier in northern Xinjiang.

Between the three important towns are intricate military forts and piers. One mile and one small pier, five miles and one large pier, ten miles and one military fort.

Ten soldiers are generally guarded by small flags, fifty people are guarded by general banners, and about 100 soldiers are guarded by military forts, and the officers guarding the towns are generally 100 households, one level at a time. The original intention of setting up a military town was good, the government issued some field grain to military households for farming, and the imperial court would also pay military salaries, which was more than enough to support themselves. However, now there are faint kings above, traitors below, military salaries are deducted layer by layer, and there are not a few people who drink the blood of soldiers.

The North Sixth Pier, where Chen Xu is now, is a small pier.

In the southwest of Wei State, Shu State divided Sichuan and Shu, and the Southern Tang Dynasty south of the Yangtze River confronted Wei State in the north and south. In addition, there are some small countries, in short, the whole Central Plains is in a mess, and more information is gone. After all, the soldiers in the border army are not scholars, just take care of the things in front of them, how can they have spare time to figure out the situation in the world.

Without the historical forward-looking advantage of the foresight of the traverser, I looked left and right for four days, and I did not find that I had the legendary golden finger necessary for the traverser.

Yourself a fake traverser?!

I'm banished here? It's not scientific, it took so much effort to get me, and I don't care about anything?

Chen Xu muttered a few words helplessly. Didn't think about it anymore.

Even if the reality is too cruel, life has to go on!

Holding his head in his backhand, leaning against the trunk of a tree, with a dog's tail grass in his mouth, he looked at the clear blue sky and sighed leisurely. Chen Xu got up slowly, patted the dust on his body, and then went to drive the cattle, but he had to watch, don't let the buffalo enter the rice field and gnaw the grain.

Cattle herding?!

That's right, it's to drive cattle. The sergeants of the fort on the border of the Wei State were soldiers in wartime, and they were similar to ordinary people in peacetime. Soldiers also have to grow grain, and even have to pay for it. Wei is in the land of four wars, there are countries in the east, west, north and south, and for decades it has been in civil strife, dynasties have changed several times, and there is a tiger eyeing Rouran in the north, to supply a huge border army and a forbidden army. This is also a helpless way, which is also one of the reasons for the low combat effectiveness of some of the Wei border troops. The real elite of Wei is the forbidden army and the defenders of the three towns in the north, which is the source of the force of the Wei state.

As an ordinary sergeant in Beiliudun, Chen Xu usually has two things to do, one is to cut pigweed, and the other is to herd cattle. Sometimes, Chen Xu feels that herding cattle and feeding pigs is really detrimental to his character, there is no way, it is better than going into battle to kill the enemy, just now he has thin arms and legs, I am afraid that he will be killed as soon as he goes into battle.

Forget it, don't mention it, it's all tears, let's herd the cattle.

At a glance, more than 100 acres of rice fields are presented in front of your eyes. In such a large place, it was too busy to rely on people to farm, so Beiliudun divided two buffaloes, the most common kind of yellow cattle. In the past few days, Chen Xu has reminisced bitterly and sweetly, and reminisced about the taste of herding cattle in the countryside in the past.

It would not be bad if ordinary people were like this, a few wisps of these thoughts floated in his heart, but they were quickly dispersed, the enemy of the northern steppe was still in danger, and he didn't want to go on like this for the rest of his life.

Herding cattle and feeding pigs, this is Chen Xu's daily life, don't look at these two things, but it is very time-consuming. It can be said that when there is no war, he is usually no different from the long-term worker of the landlord's family. As for the normal sergeant's drills, the place where the armament is loose has long been lost and avoided.

Chen Xu was a little depressed and held the cow rope, and the two oxen followed behind him.

Just as he was approaching the rice field, a scalper suddenly broke free and wanted to rush directly into the rice field.

Seeing this situation, Chen Xu secretly said, "Oh no! "This buffalo is so big, no matter how much rice it eats, just by going back and forth, the ripening rice in the field will inevitably be ravaged. This has a great impact on the rice harvest. This is related to the livelihood of the ten or so people in Beiliudun, if something goes wrong with the rice, Chen Xu will not be able to eat it and walk away.

Another scalper saw his companion's behavior and wanted to follow suit, Chen Xu dared to be careless, and quickly pulled the scalper away from the rice field. The brute strength of the ox is not small, fortunately the cow rope with the cow's nose in his hand, but it also took the old strength to tie the ox to the tree some distance from the rice field.

As the saying goes, take care of one and lose the other.

Taking advantage of the time when Chen Xu took the cow away, the cattle who rushed to the rice field not only entered the rice field, gnawed a few handfuls of rice, and trampled a large piece of rice back and forth.

It's over, and I'm sure I'll be fined.

Looking at the trampled rice fields, Chen Xu shook his head, how much food would have to be lost. In these days, food is very expensive. This time, I was inevitably scolded by the small banner of their North Liudun. Thinking of that person's ugly face, Chen Xu was angry from his heart. rushed down directly, pulled the buffalo up, and kicked it directly, anyway, the skin of this goods is rough and thick, and it can't be kicked with a few kicks.

"Received negative sentiment value from scalpers, +5." Just like that, a sentence floated through Chen Xu's mind.

What the?

Could it be that I was too stressed during this time and had mental problems? You have to see a psychiatrist, right? There is no psychiatrist in this place. Chen Xu's mind was full of thoughts.

When Chen Xu calmed down, he didn't hear any sound. It's as if this never happened.

Is it a delusion?

By the way, scalpers were mentioned in the words just now, does it have anything to do with scalpers?

He set his sights on scalpers. I just kicked a scalper, is it because of this that I came up with that sentence? Thinking of this, Chen Xu wanted to verify it and was eager to try.
