The dawn breaks and the light pierces the sky, bringing infinite life to the earth.

The soldiers of Jingzhou, who were tired all night last night, slowly fell asleep, and in the sparse dense forests in the mountains, they were lying horizontally and vertically, and there was silence.

Wang Xu also leaned against a big tree, snuggled up to Dian Wei and Xu Sheng, Xu Huang went to inspect on duty, and the three of them took advantage of this moment to eat something.

The dry coarse cake was always the most hated food for the sergeants, and the common people occasionally used it as a pastime and spice, but for the sergeants, nibbling on the dry cake meant that it was miserable and fierce. If it is not necessary, or if there is a lack of food and food, the soldiers will almost lose their appetite at the sight of dry cakes.

Of course, Wang Xu didn't like it, but he still swallowed it in his stomach, and picked up the kettle from time to time to take a sip, he was used to such hardship. On the contrary, it was Dian Wei and Xu Sheng by his side at this time, which made him silent and have some memories.

"Dian Wei, Wen Xiang, do you remember six or seven years ago, when we traveled to the earth? It's pretty much the same as it is now! ”

"Of course I do!" Xu Sheng glanced at it and looked up at the bright light on the branches. "In those two years with the lord, I was bitter and happy, the sky was a quilt, the ground was a bed, I slept when I was sleepy, I ate when I was hungry, and I robbed local bullies everywhere when I had no money, what a pleasure it was, but it has been six or seven years in a blink of an eye, I really miss it!"

"yes!" Wang Xu thought about it, a smile appeared on his face, and he suddenly said, "Dian Wei, do you remember when you peeked at other people's affairs?" ”

Although Dian Wei is rude, his feelings are particularly delicate, and Ben also fell into memories, but suddenly heard this translation. His face changed instantly. "My lord. Where is the peeping? That's not ...... That's not ...... Is it because he was young and ignorant, and when he heard the voice, he thought it was murder, so he went to check? ”

"Hahaha......" Wang Xu and Xu Sheng were happy, and laughed in a low voice.

Xu Sheng turned around and patted Dian Wei, but said: "However, what impresses me the most is the chicken wings that Dian Wei handed me, to be honest." At that moment, I felt so satisfied, having a good brother like you! ”

"Me too!" Dian Wei smiled and nodded, his domineering face showing softness. "I remember when I was in Nanban, I couldn't find the barbarian settlement, and the dry food I carried with me was about to run out, so Wen Xiang took care of the dry food for you, and as a result, I secretly starved for three days, leaving us with dough and dry cakes to eat, fainting in the jungle, and I almost burst into tears."

"Hahaha......" Wang Xu nodded suddenly. smiled: "That's it, Dian Wei was like a flea at that time." It's like burning your ass! ”

"Huh!" Dian Wei chuckled, and endless warmth welled up in his chest. "There is also the wild grass soup made by Sister Yan, the stewed wild mushrooms, and the boiled fish made by Song Qian, now that I think about it, it is really delicious! Now that my family has a big business, there are all kinds of seasonings and foods, and my family Cui'er is also good at cooking, but I don't know why, but I can't eat that kind of taste! ”

"That's because I was so hungry at the time, I ate friendship, and I ate the happiness of helping each other." Xu Sheng said leisurely.

Wang Xu was silent, thinking of Yan Ming, and I don't know how she is doing? That bewitching woman who loves nature, is gentle and kind, has rich feelings, and is like a fairy in the forest!

All three fell silent, a warmth and touch, quietly surrounding, warming their hearts.

After a long time, Dian Wei suddenly said: "Lord, when will you just marry Sister Yan!" ”

"Hey! If I don't marry, it's because she doesn't want to! Wang Xu shook his head bitterly, he also had Yan Ming in his heart.

Dian Wei didn't care so much, and laughed roughly: "Lord, Sister Yan is willing in her heart, but I don't know why she thinks so much, Lord, you just grab her!" Anyway, she has already had sex with the lord, and when she enters the door, she will naturally be willing! When Cui'er first married me, she was also very reluctant, twisted and pinched, and cried. ”

"I didn't care so much at the time, I really liked her, and I thought I would be good to her in the future! Later, she was not willing, and when she had time, I escorted the lord to Hebei to rob it, and after a long time, Sister Yan naturally got used to it! ”

"Poof" Wang Xu squirted out a mouthful of water, almost choking. "Ahem...... Canon...... Dian Wei, what are you talking nonsense, what does it mean that Cui'er is unwilling, and people are unwilling to shout at you? Before you get married, you will make clothes and send delicious food? Why didn't you get it for someone else? ”

As he spoke, he glared at Dian Wei and reprimanded: "People are shy, you rough goods, women are in pain for the first time, you know?" I don't know what you've been tossed intosy? Cui'er is a hard-working woman, and she has no reservations about you, digging out her heart and lungs, or my sister-in-law, you still cherish it more. ”

Dian Wei thought about it, and suddenly looked a little guilty, and said honestly: "The lord is right, I remember that she bled for the first time, maybe I was too rude, go back this time, buy some good jewelry for Cui'er!" ”

Wang Xu was speechless, and he didn't bother to explain the bloodshed to Dian Wei, so he rolled his eyes and said: "She is not rare about your gold and silver jewelry, you just have time to accompany her more!" ”

Xu Sheng also nodded again and again: "Dian Wei, Cui'er is a good woman, you are kind to others!" ”

Being lectured like this by the two, Dian Wei suddenly patted his chest and said: "I love her, she is in charge of the house, even if I listen to him." Although she took a few concubines for me, she has always been the most spoiled by her, and she has the final say in the house, and I am obedient to orders. ”

"Huh!" Wang Xu and Xu Sheng smiled slightly, said no more, and silently savored the beauty of memories.

After a good day's rest, night is coming soon!

When the sun set and the hazy moonlight shyly released its brilliance, the army set off again in high spirits.

At this time, Kunyang, which was ruled by He Yi of the Yellow Turban, was no more than a hundred miles away, and he was not in a hurry to expose it, but first marched to a valley fifty miles west of Kunyang City, which was one of the strongholds that had been set before, and was the base camp of the troops operating near Kunyang.

A hundred miles is not too far for the army, and if it is a regular march, it is just a day's journey. Because of the early spring, it was dark early and brightened late, so on the eve of the next morning, we had already rushed to the valley.

The valley is rich in water and grass, with a small lake and springs left on the mountain. But it's not a precipitous Jedi. If there is an enemy encircled and suppressed. It is possible to break through from several directions, and most importantly, its open area is wide enough and has a lot of space, and at the same time it is good to hide the army.

As soon as he arrived, Wang Xu was very satisfied and praised loudly: "The spy is very good, and the maps they collect are relatively accurate." I didn't disappoint here. ”

Xu Shu and the others were also extremely satisfied, and soon began to build a stronghold with a smile on their faces, except for the small tents they brought, the rest of the horses and simple wooden fences, etc., were all made of local materials. Two thousand soldiers acted together, and the pace of construction was very fast.

When Wang Xu was watching the beautiful mountains and rivers on the hillside and staring at the beautiful scenery of the rising red sun, a simple camp had been built under the mountain.

"Lord, look at the camp built by the brothers!" Dian Wei rushed over.

"Hmm!" Smile and nod. Wang Xu looked back suddenly, but he was stunned for a moment. A beautiful picture suddenly appeared in his eyes.

The rising red sun dyed half of the sky, the morning glow exuded dazzling charm, in the grassy valley, a pool of cool lakes shining with misty water, the simple camp was a little messy, the soldiers who were fighting outside were busy building, talking and laughing from time to time, and there were occasionally some rabbits and other small animals on the grass in the distance, looking at them curiously, and then quickly running away.

After staring deeply for a long time, this picture has been frozen in my mind!

After a long time, Wang Xu smiled leisurely and nodded: "Not bad!" Let everyone rest! ”

"Hmm!" Dian Wei looked a little excited, nodded and left.

But this was not Wang Xu's destination, when night came again, he left Xu Huang, Xu Shu and a thousand big axe knights, and a few days of dry food, and then set off again with Dian Wei, Xu Sheng and a thousand sharpshooters, and went to Huang Shao's Yun County.

He was more cautious when he had to pass through the counties of Dingling and Wuyang, but even so, when he passed through some small villages, he was discovered by some farmers.

"Daddy, kid! What is the matter with this muffled voice outside? A peasant woman at the head of the village woke up at night and shook the body of the man next to her.

The man woke up, frowned, and his face changed dramatically in an instant, and he slammed down the window, quietly opened a gap, and came out in a panic. The peasant woman was clever and got up and took up the flint with the intention of lighting the candle.

Feeling the light source, the man was instantly shocked, and shouted angrily in a suppressed voice: "Do you want to die? Extinguish the light! ”

The peasant woman was scolded and looked a little aggrieved, but she still asked suspiciously: "Father, child, what is outside?" But haunted? ”

"A fart ghost, if the ghost is not afraid, these days, the war is in chaos, and people are much more terrible than ghosts!"

The man replied without looking back, and looked at it secretly, through the hazy moonlight, a figure of black pressure could be vaguely seen, and countless war horses were led, and it was not difficult to infer from the muffled sound that the horses' hooves were wrapped in cloth. immediately said with a bitter face: "Hey! I don't know where the army is, it's a night walk! ”

"You won't be collecting food taxes again!" The peasant woman was shocked and worried: "Didn't He Man, the yellow scarf general, send someone to collect it a few days ago?" After coming and going, I have paid taxes two or three times, and if this continues, how can I have enough grain for last autumn? How will you live in the future! ”

"It's not supposed to be a tax!" The man was obviously much smarter, shook his head and said: "Then He Man's Yellow Turban soldiers are not so sophisticated, you see that many of the cavalry are leading two horses, and the armor is all neat, where can the Yellow Turban soldiers compare?" They are going forward so quietly, it is estimated that they are going to fight! ”

When the peasant woman said this, she was also a little curious, and asked timidly: "Where are the soldiers and horses, I heard a few days ago that General Wang of Jingzhou is going to send troops to exterminate He Man and them, could it be his soldiers and horses?" ”

"I don't know!" The man shook his head and stared through the window at the slowly advancing army outside, and said: "But it is very likely, I heard a passerby yesterday that General Wang has already hit the father city, and those yellow turban soldiers are hiding in the father city and dare not fight." ”

Saying that, he couldn't help but sigh: "This general Wang is also really powerful, it is said that he went into battle to kill the enemy at the age of thirteen, and fought in the south and north for many years. ”

"yes, yes!" In this war-torn era, the nerves were relatively coarse, and the peasant woman had no direct danger, so she relaxed and continued with a little excitement: "If only General Wang really called, we can have a good life!" ”

"Hey!" The man sighed, but shook his head: "It's really good, but I heard rumors that General Cao will come over soon, then General Cao is also very good, the officials are clear, the government is well-governed, the army is strong, and the people under his rule are living very well." ”

The peasant woman said with an expectant look: "It doesn't matter who he is, whether it is General Wang or General Cao, whoever comes!" With them, you can always live in peace for a few years, and it is better than such a precarious situation. ”

"That's right! All right! it, go to sleep. The man looked at the dark shadows in the distance and closed the window. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said: "Let's stay up for a while, wait and see, if our area hasn't improved, then we will also take you and my old father and mother to move to Jingzhou." ”

"This ......" the peasant woman was a little reluctant, and said, "Then you don't want the land here, and you don't want the ancestral property?" Our ancestors have been here for generations, and they have all taken root! Besides, how did you live in the past, the old and the young, what to eat, what to wear, and what to live in? ”

"Hey! In these years, who can still take care of the ancestral property, it is good to be alive! The man shook his head, with endless vicissitudes on his face: "I have heard the traders on the road say that if we move to Jingzhou and enter the household, General Wang will give our people a share of the land, and give subsidies in the early stage, then we only need to work hard for two years and open a few pieces of good land to come out, and we can live a good life, and this ancestral land is not good!" ”

"Really?" The peasant woman asked in surprise.

"What am I lying to you for?" A smile appeared on the man's weathered face. "Brother Zhang's family in the neighboring village moved over a few months ago, and a few days ago I went to the neighboring village to change salt, saying that I was looking for him to run around the door, and he was no longer there!"

"That's great!" The peasant woman smiled plainly and contentedly.

The man smiled, but did not reply, and after a while, he suddenly said very solemnly: "By the way, the child, mother, I saw it tonight, but remember not to say anything, be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth." Don't forget that the old Li family, the head of the village, just leaked something, but was arrested by the rebels for questioning, and never came back. ”

The peasant woman trembled, and her face was a little nervous. "Don't worry, I won't say anything if I die, I haven't seen anything tonight!"

The man nodded and got into the bed: "That's good, damn it, it, go to sleep, it's late at night!" ”

But the peasant woman was still excited by her previous words, her face was full of longing, and she said with a smile: "Hmm! Let's sleep, and when we get through this, we'll move to Jingzhou! ”

"Hmmm......"

The night is deeper, and the people are quiet...... (To be continued......)
