Hutian snowed in August.

A few days after the wind shouted, the snow began to fall.

The city of Didao was gradually covered in snow.

The weather was cold, and except for the necessary patrols, the soldiers were basically nested in the barracks.

Yang Zheng received fifty sheep from the treasury to reward his subordinates.

The bonfire was lit and the smell of meat was wafting up.

A bowl of wine is in the stomach, and the whole body is steaming.

Four hundred and seven people, plus forty-three children, gathered together, looking at Yang Zheng with big eyes and small eyes.

Since Luo Gu's breakthrough, there has never been such a moment of relaxation.

Thinking of the days when I was in a panic and had no food and clothing, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

"Respect for the robe that Luo Gu died in battle!" Yang Zheng drank a bowl of wine.

The soldiers and children all stood in solemnity.

"Respect the brother who died of injury in Wugong City!" Yang Zheng poured another bowl of wine.

The imperial court can ignore it, but Yang Zheng has always been difficult to let go.

The corpses that were eaten by wild dogs and crows, the wounded soldiers who killed themselves in despair, the scenes were like boulders pressing down on their hearts.

"The third bowl of wine, Yang Zheng respects you, thank you for not leaving!" Yang Zheng poured a bowl of wine hard.

"If there is no general, I will die in Wugong City long ago, and I will have today?"

"In the future, the life of a certain person will be handed over to the general!"

……

These have not only experienced life and death, but also tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, and their affection for each other has long surpassed that of robes.

In this unfamiliar northwest, only by relying on each other can there be a glimmer of life.

Yang Zheng touched the bowls with the soldiers one by one, drank and ate meat, all of them were lonely men, and they didn't care.

More than 40 children rarely ate a bite of meat, and their mouths were full of oil.

When everyone was drunk, the door curtain was suddenly opened, Xiahou Ba entered with two shoulders of wind and snow, followed by six or seven Longxi generals, and he didn't see outside, he ripped off a leg of mutton with a big grin, picked up a bowl of wine, and said: "Xingyun is too disagreeable, he only cares about eating and drinking by himself, regardless of me." ”

"Yang Duwei is stingy, and he won't say hello to me when he comes to Longxi."

"I have heard the name of Yang Duwei of the Luoyang Wuwei Battalion, but I haven't seen it."

The generals who came in were all the same as Xiahou's domineering temperament.

It's not all the way, and you can't get together.

Yang Zheng immediately knelt down and saluted, "My subordinates meet ......"

"Hey, there is no up and down today, only Brother Paoze, you don't have to be so formal." Xiahou Ba shook the leg of mutton, and then took a big bite.

"General Xie." I was persecuted too much by my superiors before, and I haven't turned around for a while.

Xiahou Ba and the others entertained themselves, pouring wine for the soldiers with a smile, and they did not have the demeanor of a general at all.

Yang Zheng couldn't help but admire.

I feel that he is completely opposite to Guo Huai's character, Guo Huai is strict with the law, the soldiers are trembling, they dare not disobey orders, and the military discipline is strict.

Xiahouba is majestic on the outside, like a fierce tiger, which makes people dare not look up, but on the inside, he is a group of harmony.

It seems that Du Pre's evaluation of him is not wrong.

With such a boss, naturally you don't have to worry about him putting on small shoes and stumbling on himself.

Others intended to make friends, but Yang Zheng didn't hold the shelf, picked up the wine bowl and mingled with them.

A feast until dawn.

In the next few days, eating and drinking like this, Yang Zheng followed Xiahouba to visit other battalions.

Didao City stationed the main force of the Wei army of 6,000 people, divided into three battalions, Xiahou Ba was in charge of 3,000 elites, and other cities also had garrisons to prevent the Qiang people from making trouble.

The Northwest man is frank and open, and there is no conflict of interest, and he gets along well.

Yang Zheng has a feeling of being like a fish in water.

During the day, he trained with the soldiers, and at night he taught the children how to write and write.

In the snowy northwest, in the boring barracks, there is actually the sound of reading.

With meat, the children's bodies are much stronger in a short period of time.

If you want to survive in this world, you must be proficient in cutting people.

Yang Zheng took them to train together in the snow.

Horseback riding, archery, marching, swords and spears, can take the initiative to follow Yang Zheng from martial arts to here, most of them have an innate stubbornness.

If you fall down and get up, you can't get tired, even if you climb, you have to follow behind the four hundred regular army.

Sometimes, Yang Zheng couldn't imagine that there would be such strong tenacity in their thin bodies.

It may also have something to do with their previous experiences.

Under the huge pressure to survive, everyone did their best.

Influenced by his military career in later generations, Yang Zheng never beat and scolded them.

Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, they can't be generalized, it's really not material to cut people, and they can't be forced, Yang Zheng is not a war maniac, just let them do what they can.

The days in Didao City are not too sad.

Four hundred and seven soldiers and forty-three children were created by Yang Zheng to look more and more like a whole.

Yang Zheng came to this world alone, the relatives in his memory have all left, and he is alone, only their existence makes Yang Zheng feel more bound to this world.

The cold winter passed quickly.

There was plenty of meat, and the soldiers and children were visibly stronger.

However, such days without wind and waves cannot last.

After the wind and snow stopped, and the weather became warmer, the Qiang people suddenly attacked, and raided the city of Caohan in the west, and the commander Zhang Yan and his 1,000 soldiers could not resist it, and abandoned the city and left, and all the Han people in the city suffered......

Under the continuous attack of the two Han Dynasty, the Qiang people were scattered and unable to be unified, and each department did its own thing.

Some surrender, others betray.

He Yaoge said that this year's harvest is less than half of last year's, so some people will take risks.

In the tent of the Chinese military camp, Yang Zheng heard people's screams from afar.

The soldiers who fled back knelt bare-chested in the unmelted snow and were whipped one after another.

On the gate, there are still a few human heads, among which Zhang Yan must be indispensable.

Losing the city and losing the land, Xiahou Ba couldn't bear it no matter how bold he was.

As soon as he entered the hall, he heard Xiahou Ba's angry reprimand.

Yang Zheng understood his anger.

Although Xiahou Ba is the protector of Shu and the right general, Guo Huai is the former general of the festival and the assassin of Yongzhou, and Xiahou Ba has to listen to his orders.

This kind of thing happened in Longxi, and Xiahouba's face was naturally not good-looking.

And Guo Huai is in Wudu County.

"The enemy situation is unknown, the weather is cold, if you attack rashly, you are afraid of falling into an ambush of the Qiang people." Sima Li Mi said cautiously.

"The weather is getting warmer, and the Qiang people may go by themselves." He Hui, a school captain who is familiar with Yang Zheng, said.

From a military point of view, it is true that troops should not be sent at this time.

The right time and place are not in the hands of the party.

But Xiahouba has to consider more than just the military aspect.

Behind him, there were several pairs of eyes staring.

Especially at the juncture of the defeat of Shu now, Cao Shuang did not lose his face alone, but Zhu Xiahou Cao followed the loss......

Therefore, Xiahouba urgently needs a victory to save face.

"General, my subordinates are willing to capture Caohan!" Yang Zheng took a step forward and said.

On the road, I think very clearly, Caohan is located in the northwest corner of Didao, close to Lishui, the land is fertile, and the Western Qin beggar has moved the capital here when the Sixteen Kingdoms.

At this time, Yang Zheng needed a place to stay.

Although Xiahou Ba is good to himself and almost responds to his requests, Yang Zheng knows that this kind of life cannot last long, and after a few years of changes in Gaopingling, Xiahou Ba himself is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river.
