Chapter 167: Wintering at the Border Pass

Genius one second to remember the address of this site: (vertex Chinese)., the fastest update! No ads!

Northwest, border passes!

In the northwest of December, it is already cold and snowy!

It had been snowing all night, and the snow covered the ground like a flawless quilt.

In the town closest to the northwest border, people have long since closed their doors and stayed at home.

The dried vegetables and grains that everyone prepared before were used to survive the winter. It's just close to the border, and because of the wars over the years, the town here is not rich. Fortunately, with the general of Zhengxi in charge, everyone can live a stable life for a few years.

Border passes, camps!

The soldiers on guard stood there motionless, their backs straight, like a pine and cypress facing the wind and snow, which made people feel a touch of loneliness when they saw it.

Because of the climate, and because Nanliang was frustrated before, Nanliang's army has withdrawn far away.

Now, the camp has spent several days of peaceful life.

"Ha, this damn weather, it's really going to freeze to death!"

A soldier in a military padded jacket and a military hat stomped his feet, put his hands in his sleeves and walked towards the tent.

Lifting the tent curtain and entering, the temperature inside and outside was more than a little separated.

Before the soldier could breathe a sigh of relief, a familiar voice was heard.

"Coming back? How so? ”

The guy who was chopping vegetables inside looked up when he heard the sound, and then neatly loaded and chopped vegetables, and his hands kept moving.

The young man who walked in shook his head and sighed, and opened his mouth to spit out a puff of white mist: "Hey, the matter has already been mentioned, but the road is not easy to walk on this snowy day, and there is no food in this northwest winter!" ”

'Boom! ’

The master who cut vegetables nailed the knife to the sticky board in one fell swoop, and said with a glaring eye: "Then find a way, you can't buy vegetables, right?" Can't buy those dried vegetables? ”

"Hehe, don't be angry, master, there are dried vegetables now, I guess we don't have the money to buy them, right?" The other guy who was meeting opened his mouth and smiled, but there was no joy in his eyes, only helplessness.

In winter, prices are expensive, not to mention vegetables, even rice and noodles have also risen. Especially in the barren land of the northwest, if you come to this time, let alone buy it, you can't find anyone even if you sell vegetables!

"Still laughing? What has been done in previous years, will be done this year? Why, do you still want me to be a master's teacher? After the master of the vegetable cutter finished speaking, he took out his knife and cut it again.

Now the food in his hand can only supply the soldiers to eat and drink for two days.

Moreover, it is necessary to save money. There is still food, but it is only enough to last for a while, about less than a month.

Even, some of the food was brought by the general himself.

The two young men inside glanced at each other, and the hand that was smiling before was a little heavier, and reminded with a face: "Master, last year, it was the general who led people to hunt far away to get some meat for the winter. As for the vegetables, it is not until the beginning of spring that I see a little green. ”

After saying that, everyone stopped talking, and the military tent fell silent.

"Hey......"

The vegetable cutter sighed, and originally planned to cut a few more cabbages, but he held back.

If this continues, they will be really sad for the winter!

The salary of the imperial court has not yet been paid, and whether it is food or clothing, it is a problem. Moreover, I heard that in the main account, the general has sent several urgent letters to the capital for this purpose.

Over there, the main tent!

"Nan Liang has no intention of making a move, why doesn't the general return to ......?"

Although there was no war this time, the sneak attack was successful, and it also caused a lot of trouble to Nanliang. However, even so, Nan Liang had already retreated. In that case, they can rest easy!

After the questioning soldier finished speaking, he glanced at the general, and when he saw that he was looking down at the map, he did not dare to say more.

"General, the New Year will be more than a month away, and it will be even colder in the northwest. In addition, Nan Liang has just been frustrated, so I am afraid that he will not dare to commit it! ”

"Yes, general, if you just step back, it's not a way for all the soldiers to cut down on food and clothing."

......

"Well, that's true, and now I've been busy for a while after following you forward. Every day, people suffer from cold and sickness, and if this continues, my old bones will be tossed and lost by you. ”

At first, everyone said a word, but later, Mr. Hao took over, and everyone was quiet for a while.

General Zhengxi raised his head, looked at Mr. Hao, and smiled unconsciously: "It's really hard for Mr. Hao this time, why don't Mr. Hao leave a medicine boy and go to the town first?" ”

"In that case, are you insisting on not leaving?"

Mr. Hao knew General Zhengxi earlier, and even looked at him like a little hairy child. Seeing him speak like this, he knew that he was not going to leave the border gate.

Moreover, I heard that in the capital, the one above also said that the great victory was gratifying and allowed him to return to his hometown for the New Year.

General Zhengxi didn't speak, glanced to the side, and then nodded.

"If I leave, if Nanliang returns to attack, what will happen to the unarmed people of the northwest?" It's not that he doesn't miss home, it's just that only when there is a country can there be a home, a small family and a big country, he always has to make a sober choice.

When Dr. Hao heard this, he was silent.

As he got up, the medicine boy behind him immediately put on a cloak, and the gray fox fur on his body seemed to add a touch of nobility to him: "I won't say anything, it's too cold, I'll go to the town first." The medicine is also kept, and the people are also kept. Be careful, don't toss my people away. ”

A school of Beijing dialect, with the taste of authentic Shangjing.

With that, Dr. Hao waved his sleeves and walked out.

General Zhengxi looked at the curtain that had been lowered and smiled unconsciously.

"Master Xu, come and talk about it!"

After Dr. Hao left, General Zhengxi restrained his smile and pointed to a few places on the map to ask.

This Xu Xiuning, who had used a strategy before, spoiled Nanliang's grain and grass, and dealt another blow to those thieves who planned to break through Tianchu's weak defense. Even, let people get the Nanliang military flag!

For a while, Nanliangjun's heart was turbulent and retreated.

For Xu Xiuning, General Zhengxi is a cherisher. It's a pity that every time someone sees him, he will only ask one question.

"General, I don't know about that, but what's the news?"

Sure enough, the words spit out by the clear voice were like this again.

A hint flashed in General Zhengxi's eyes, and then he raised his hand and nodded at him in the void, and shouted outside the account: "Pass Liao Donghui!" ”

The soldiers outside the door passed the words, and in Liao Donghui's team, the captain immediately trotted to the front of the military tent and knelt down on one knee and gave a military salute: "General Qiqi, Liao Donghui has not come back yet!" ”

Speaking of this, the captain was also a little worried. Although he is only a squad leader, he is also very enthusiastic about the brothers below.

When the general of Zhengxi heard this, he raised his eyebrows, glanced at Xu Xiuning, and said to the outside world: "Come in and talk!" ”

The squad leader immediately walked in, knelt down on one knee and respectfully called: "General! ”

"Well, didn't Liao Donghui go for five days? What, no news yet? ”

Speaking of which, you only need to go to Fucheng to spread the news, and it shouldn't be anything.

The squad leader nodded and immediately responded: "General Hui, exactly!" Xu is a snowy day, the road is not easy to walk, delayed! ”

"Alright, you go down! After Liao Donghui returned, he asked him to come to see me immediately. ”

After the general finished speaking, he waved his hand and let people go down.
