Chapter VII

It has been said that you should never lie down until the middle of the day and get up, because the best time of the day will be wasted, and if a person has not finished half of the day's work before the middle of the day, the other half may not be able to do it.

The plan of the year lies in the spring, and the plan of the day lies in the morning.

The sky was still dawning, and the morning fog had not yet completely cleared. The cool morning was already in full swing.

The earth-shattering shouts came and went, a loud military horn spread throughout the barracks and school grounds, and the neat and heavy footsteps running back and forth gradually approached and gradually faded away.

Opening his sleepy eyes, Mu Yi walked out of the tent and stretched his waist widely.

Squinting at the surroundings, I came in a hurry last night and didn't take a closer look. At a glance, there are military tents everywhere.

The military tents are made of coarse linen produced in the southern part of the sister state, which is durable and rainproof and moisture-proof, so it has naturally become a necessary material for the army.

The military tents are scattered and neatly distributed all around, and I don't know how much the entire camp occupies, and the tents of all sizes are not visible at a glance.

"Brother Mu could have rested last night?" At this time, a big man came out of the military tent next to him, who was Captain Fan Gui who Mu Yi saved last night.

"It's okay, it's okay. Mu Yi returned the salute.

At this moment, a herald ran in front of Mu Yi and said, "Major Xue has invited Mu Gongzi!"

Mu Yi was puzzled in his heart, he followed Fan Gui back to the camp last night, and he had already been asked to verify his identity, and now this Major Xue Mingfan asked him to know what was going on.

"Brother Mu may not know the major's camp yet, so Fan will take Brother Mu to see Major Xue. Fan Gui, the big man, sent away the herald and came straight to Mu Yi.

"So there is Captain Lao Fan!" Mu Yi said politely, and then followed Fan Gui's footsteps towards the major's tent.

When I came to the major's tent, I saw that the military tent was higher and more elaborate than the surrounding tents. In front of the tent stood two guards on the left and right sides, all dressed in armor and armed with spears.

When I entered the tent, I saw a general in armor standing in front of the military case, writing something. Hearing someone enter, the general looked up at the people who had entered the tent.

I saw that this general was about twenty years old, with a dignified appearance and full of spirit in his eyes. This Major Xue is a military general who has ascended to the realm of entering the room.

"My subordinates have seen Major Xue!" Fan Gui bowed to the general in front of him.

"Captain Fan doesn't have to be polite. Xue Mingfan waved to Fan Gui and greeted Mu Yi.

"Brother Mu is young and promising, and he has reached the realm of ascending to the hall at a young age, and he must be a martial arts wizard. Xue Mingfan asked with a smile.

"Major Xue praised it falsely, and he just realized the mystery of ascending to the hall by luck. Mu Yi said modestly.

"The mystery of the human body, how can ordinary people comprehend it, Brother Mu is only afraid of torturing others when he says this. Xue Mingfan said again.

"I heard that Brother Mu came here alone, and at this time, the sister state and Bozhou are fighting, and the road to the east has been broken, I don't know what Brother Mu has planned?" Xue Mingfan added.

"I have no fixed place to live, I am adrift, I don't have any plan, I just go wherever I go. Mu Yi replied.

"Brother Mu is so young and talented, isn't it a pity to squander it in vain; a good man should be self-reliant and self-reliant, protect his family and defend the country, take advantage of this young age, establish a meritorious career, and glorify his ancestors in the future. Xue Mingfan's eyes were bright, and he was quite heroic when he said such a thing.

Mu Yi's heart was also slightly moving, and he had nowhere to go now. It is impossible to continue to travel the world, after all, not only the two states of Bozhou and sister states are in turmoil, but the whole Juntian is in turmoil, and the kings of the world are competing for hegemony and competing for the world. Juntian is so big, the victory or defeat of the states is difficult to decide, and this war is destined to last for many years.

"Last night's battle between the two states, both sides suffered heavy losses, and it was difficult to replenish military service in the rear, which was a time when there was a shortage of people in the army. Brother Mu has such skills, it is a great opportunity to join the army and make meritorious contributions to serve the king of the state. Xue Mingfan comforted himself again.

"Brother Mu is so young and so talented, if he doesn't join the army, won't he be wasted. Fan Gui on the side also persuaded earnestly.

Mu Yi was very entangled in his heart, he had seen the cruelty of last night's battle, and Mu Yi was actually very repulsed by the impression of the war. However, when I think of my future, I am confused.

People should always make decisions for themselves, a life of inaction, or a life of fame in history, or a life of ordinary people, this all depends on people's choice and struggle.

In the end, Mu Yi made up his mind.

"In this way, it is better to be respectful than to obey the order, thank you Major Xue for your appreciation and advice. Mu Yi bowed slightly and saluted Xue Mingfan.

"Haha, so good, so good, Brother Mu, please don't be polite. Xue Mingfan thought in his heart that with Mu Yi achieving such cultivation at such an age, he would have a bright future in the future, and he would definitely be able to shine in the army, and his heart was very happy.

"Brother Mu should know that the military regulations cannot be abolished, with your cultivation in the realm of ascending to the house, you should have been awarded the rank of major like me, but you are not a member of the reserve, and you do not have any experience and qualifications, so in view of your rescue behavior last night, you are now awarded the rank of second lieutenant, which belongs to Inspector Fan. Xue Mingfan said.

"Thank you Major Xue for your promotion, I will do my best to serve the king of the state. Mu Yi bowed and said.

"Second Lieutenant Mu doesn't have to be discouraged and aggrieved, there are many opportunities to make meritorious contributions in the army, as long as you earn military merits, it is not a problem to get ahead. Now Captain Fan will take you to familiarize yourself with the rules of the army, familiarize yourself with the battle situation as soon as possible, and prepare for the next battle. Xue Mingfan said again.

"Yes, Major Xue. Mu Yi said.

"The subordinates retired. Fan Gui bowed.

Walking out of the camp tent, Fan Gui immediately said: "Brother Mu, no, Second Lieutenant Mu, I have wronged you and followed Fan's account." ”

Mu Yi said: "Captain Fan doesn't have to be like this, since he joins the army, he must follow the rules of the army, and I hope that Captain Fan will give more advice in the future." ”

Fan Gui said: "Where, where, I will send someone to send the second lieutenant's draped equipment to your tent in a while, and send someone to assist Second Lieutenant Mu to familiarize himself with various affairs in the army." ”

"Thank you Captain Fan for that. Mu Yi thanked.

Back in his camp, Mu Yi turned over and lay down on the military bed and slowly closed his eyes.

"Xue'er, do you think I made the right decision? If my father and mother were alive, they would definitely not agree to me joining the army. Mu Yi muttered.

I saw a snow-white little snake slipping out of Mu Yi's cuffs, swimming to Mu Yi's chest, and opened his mouth to say:

"Wood, you said that your mother-in-law is not annoying, since you have made a choice, you must believe in yourself, don't always hesitate. ”

"That's right, Xue'er, what you said makes a lot of sense, I can't imagine that you are still smart with a little snake head. Mu Yi turned over and sat up, knocked on the head of the snow-white little snake, and said with a smile.

The little white snake said proudly: "That's, you don't see who it is!"

"Wait, you mean I'm stupid most of the time, isn't it, stinky wood?" asked the little white snake as he raised his head and stared at Mu Yi.

"Someone is coming, and they will settle accounts with you in the future. The little white snake hurriedly slipped down Mu Yi's chest and flexibly burrowed into Mu Yi's sleeve.

Mu Yi straightened his clothes, got up from the bed and greeted the soldiers who came in.

"Subordinate Liu Neng has seen Second Lieutenant Mu. As soon as the soldier entered, he bowed and saluted.

"No need to be polite, are you the person sent by Governor Fan? Tell me about the situation in the army. Mu Yi turned around and sat on the chair next to the table.

"Yes, Second Lieutenant Mu. The soldier said, and then put the armor he was holding on the table.

Armor is the uniform standard of the army, but it is stronger than that worn by ordinary soldiers. Putting down the armor, Mu Yi picked up the long knife on the side again, looked at it and put it down.

At this time, the soldier next to him said: "If Second Lieutenant Mu is not used to using the standard knife in the army, he can use his own knife." ”

Subsequently, Mu Yi learned from the mouth of soldier Liu Neng that under his rank of second lieutenant, he could lead 900 soldiers, and there were three sergeants, and each sergeant had three corporals, and each corporal led 100 soldiers. These non-commissioned soldiers were just entry-level samurai with a slight sense of qi, and they didn't have much cultivation. Ordinary soldiers below the rank of non-commissioned officers are only stronger than ordinary people.

Mu Yi also learned that his army was only a partial army in Fengdu, responsible for reconnoitring the enemy, setting traps and obstacles, encircling and suppressing the remnants, and most importantly, responsible for fighting the enemy army in the mountains and forests.

Just like the battle that Mu Yi encountered last night, although the bottom of the mountain is fertile and thousands of miles, but the mountain is densely covered with jungles. Sometimes the two sides will send troops from the mountains and forests, and then come to the enemy camp, attacking the camp below from the mountains, targeting the enemy's logistics food, ordnance and materials, and sometimes even attacking and killing the enemy's important generals.

Therefore, even if it is not as bloody as the head-to-head confrontation between the Chinese army and the enemy in the plains, the mountains and forests are more often cruel and insidious.

The towering forests in the mountains are full of trees and foliage, which often seriously affects people's vision, and coupled with the traps that cannot be guarded against under their feet, there are too many variables in the mountains, and sometimes it is not uncommon for a team to be wiped out.

Just like last night Governor Fan Gui, there were three second lieutenants under a captain's account, a total of 2,700 people, and in the end there were only a dozen people left, if it wasn't for Mu Yi, the annihilation of Fan Gui's entire army was an inevitable end.

After sorting out the chaotic thoughts in his head, Mu Yi also understood the cruelty of war.

This is certainly promising, but it must also be enjoyed by life. In the blink of an eye, life and death are instantaneous. No matter how high your cultivation is, you may die when surrounded by a constant stream of enemies.

War is like this, no one can guarantee that they can survive in the chaos of the army, sometimes a slight negligence, waiting for you is death.

Unlike in a political struggle, where you lose once in a political struggle, you have a chance to make a comeback, while in a war, if you lose once, you often don't have a chance to do it again, because you can only be killed once.

And Mu Yi also settled down in the Fengdu Army.
