After the second watch, the more cold the winter becomes.

But Wei Ting hadn't slept yet, but in the public room in the front yard of the Governor's Mansion, he was still tirelessly reviewing the military intelligence documents.

As an ordinary young man in Sichuan and Shu, he thought that his whole life would be like that, either farming for a large domestic helper, or, like many of his peers, running to the nearby dense forests and mountains to hunt for a living.

Although I have studied for a few years under my father's teaching since I was a child, what use can I do in an environment like Sichuan and Shu?

But the change suddenly appeared seven or eight years ago, which changed his life that he could see at a glance.

His Majesty the Emperor, who was like a myth, suddenly came to Sichuan and Shu, and recruited a large number of troops in Yuzhou City, and Wei Ting went with the mentality of giving it a try.

As a result, he was really selected into the army by virtue of his body that had been working hard for many years, and because of his advantage in literacy and hyphenation, he just joined the army and became a captain and the lowest officer in the new army.

Then he knew that the official army he had entered was not an ordinary army, but the Son of Heaven's pro-army, holding the Japanese camp. He will become one of the most noble and elite troops in the world.

This made Wei Ting very excited, and he also studied more diligently, whether it was fighting or reading, in these years, he even understood a lot of the art of war.

In the battles that followed His Majesty the Emperor to regain lost territory, he also continued to grow and make meritorious contributions with his robe and his best friend Nie Long, and his status in the army gradually improved.

By this year, he was already the commander of a battalion, and he could lead 3,500 soldiers and horses, and he was respected as a general.

However, the promotion of status did not change his original intention, he Wei Ting is still the loyal emperor His Majesty, for which he can give everything, including his own life, the general of the Japanese battalion.

So when General Chen Qingyun needed someone to assist him and chose himself to come to the front line from Jinling, Wei Ting didn't even hesitate at all.

When General Chen led his troops north to defend against the invading Liangzhou army, and needed to defend Xiangyang and supply logistics, Wei Ting did not hesitate at all, and made everything orderly.

Because the stakes are so high, he does not dare to relax in the slightest, but will only conscientiously do all the errands that should be done. Defend Xiangyang, take care of the mountain of food and weapons, and send them to the front line safely and on time.

For this reason, he would patrol the city every day, and he would be busy until the third watch every night. Then, early in the morning, I will get up again energetically to deal with the things of the new day.

In this regard, Nie Long, a friend who also came to Xiangyang and has become his subordinate, was always a little puzzled in private, and he would only say: "I can only do this in his position." As long as the fighting on the front line continues, I can't relax in the slightest......"

After putting down another military report in his hand, Wei Ting found that this was the last one. Then I took a long breath of relief, stretched my waist, and got up and moved.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the closed door, and before he could speak, the door was pushed open again, and a tall figure came into view.

can push the door so casually, and there is only Nie Long in the governor's mansion who is named a subordinate and is actually a friend.

The burly figure propped up his armor, and Nie Long also carried a clay pot in his hand, and said with a smile: "I knew you were still here." Come, have two drinks with me. ”

"You are secretly drinking again......" Wei Ting sighed helplessly, "General Chen has already had a strict order, and alcohol is forbidden in the army during the war, how can you ......?"

"Now that General Chen is not here, if you don't say it, I won't say it, who knows if we have drunk?" Nie Long entered the door and closed the door in one go, and slammed the wine full of clay pots on the table, "I'll put up with it when I'm not old, but I have to drink a few glasses tonight." Do you remember what day it was? ”

"The twelfth day of the winter month, what important day can it be?" Wei Ting was a little puzzled.

"That's why I said that when you are high, you have forgotten your brotherhood. This is the last day of the battle when we were in the camp of the sun......"

Wei Ting was stunned for a moment, and then remembered.

Later, as they continued to make meritorious contributions and promotions, they could no longer stay in the camp. And five years ago today, it was their last battle in the Zhuri camp, and it was the Qianzhou Long family that they were up against......

In that battle, many of my comrades were killed and wounded, and the two of them also fought bloodily for several days, and almost lost their lives there.

At that time, their brothers who had survived the war drank bitterly and poured the leftover wine on the ground to pay tribute to the robes of those who had died in battle...... Every year after that, in the winter moon, these old brothers who held the sun camp would always get together.

It's just that this time he was entangled in everything, but he forgot about it.

"You're right, you really should drink tonight." Wei Ting said, he had reached out to take the clay pot, but Nie Long grabbed it in his hand first: "You have even forgotten such an important day, you will be punished!" ”

"You should be punished, you say, how to punish it?"

"Punish you for drinking!" Nie Long said, first put the mouth of the can in front of his mouth, and drank a big sip vigorously, and then handed the can to the other side.

Wei Ting smiled, also raised his hand to take it, raised his head to drink, and poured three or five sips in one go: "Good wine!" ”

"Of course it's good wine, but I brought it out of the sealed storehouse to drink it for celebration." Nie Long smiled, "Although I don't know when we can win, it doesn't hurt to drink first." ”

"Yes, we will win! Drink! Wei Ting laughed, and after two more sips of wine, he returned the clay pot, and Nie Long took it again.

And at this moment, a solemn voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Win? Don't say it's impossible, even if Chen Qingyun can really get away with the victory, it is impossible for the two of you to drink the celebration wine! ”

As the words fell, the closed door burst open with a bang, and the broken door leaf was as fast as a meteor, flying straight towards the two inside.

And faster than the door leaf flew in, there were three different heights, but murderous guys.

They didn't even put on their night clothes, nor did they cover their faces, so blatantly, they went straight to the Governor's Mansion, and in the flicker of the weapons in their hands, they were already killing the two generals who really held the military power in Xiangyang City now.

And Wei Ting and Nie Long, under the sudden attack, although they were slightly shocked, they immediately reacted quickly enough.

At the moment when the door and the blade attacked, they had already moved in time, and while dodging, they threw up the wide long case in front of them and headed straight at the enemy. And the weapons they carried with them were also unsheathed at this moment: "Huang Yuanhu, you are so bold!" ”

The sound of killing suddenly erupted, and in the thumping collision, a loud roar suddenly came out, blood splattered, and human heads were thrown up......

This fire in Xiangyang City has been completely burned.

Some people died, but not completely......
