Chapter 258: What a gift

"A great gift?" After hearing Xie Yangui's words, several lieutenants looked at each other, all of them were a little confused.

"When the time comes, you'll know." This time, Xie Yangui sold a pass.

The lieutenants had long been convinced of her, and since she said so, they waited patiently.

On the city wall, there were soldiers staring into the distance, constantly observing the enemy's reaction, and as the lieutenants expected, the enemy retreated.

Apparently, they were going back to the camp to recuperate.

If at the beginning, when they decided to attack the border pass, they had boosted their morale and riveted to the border pass one by one, perhaps they would not have encountered everything just now.

It's just that the two teams of them can't work together and both have arrogance, like an outing, which is a big loss.

After the count, Rong Di and the Burmese found that they had suffered a great loss, so they had to withdraw and rest again.

They made up their minds that the next time they attacked, they would not be able to underestimate the enemy again.

However, they don't know that there is a great gift waiting for them.

Since Xie Yangui dared to say such a risky proposal, she would not be prepared to do it alone.

In fact, there were several groups of Ling Yuwei who accompanied them out of the city at that time.

Some of them follow them to prevent cold arrows from hurting people in the shadows, as well as breaking the trail when they return to the city.

Another part sneaked into the rear of the enemy through the woods on both sides, and divided into two teams at the same time.

One of the teams is in the shadows behind the enemy, and if there is a change in front, they will strike to attract the enemy's attention.

The other team went further back to the enemy's camp, and although there would still be a defense, it would have been much more lax than before.

The Feather Guard, who is in charge of this place, will place another "weapon" and wait quietly.

If the enemy chooses to move forward after being attacked, they will wait for the rabbit.

If the enemy chooses to come back to rest, then give them some more excitement and keep it so that the enemy will remember today.

Rong Di and the Burmese returned much faster than they came, and the soldiers on the city walls watched them get farther and farther away.

When the news reached the city, Xie Yangui thought about it and ordered someone to ask the barracks when the meal would start.

The lieutenants were still beside her, not leaving, and when they heard her command, they all shook their heads and smiled.

Soon, the young general came with the news that there was an additional dish today, so it would not take more than half an hour to eat.

"Cheng, let's go in and wait, and we'll talk about it when it's time to eat." Xie Yangui nodded and beckoned everyone to go to the barracks together.

Today's harvest is not small, and there will be surprises in a while, but they still have to be vigilant.

Several lieutenants want to know what to do after that, so let's just discuss it.

It doesn't matter if there is a result or not, the main thing is to wait for the meal.

About half an hour, a young man reported that the meal was ready.

As long as it is in the barracks, Xie Yangui will eat the same food as the soldiers.

Ling Yuwei brought the food, Xie Yangui took his big bowl, pulled some vegetables into it, and carried it to the city wall.

"General, the city wall is full of wind, you have a stomachache!" When a soldier saw it, he hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade him.

"It's more fragrant to eat it with the wind today." Xie Yangui laughed and continued to walk up.

When the lieutenants saw her like this, they followed her example and followed her with their own bowls.

When a young general saw it, he couldn't help but be inexplicable, and couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, so he simply followed.

In a short time, there were many people standing on the city wall, and if you look closely, you will find that in the crowd, there are also the eldest brother carrying an axe and the sister-in-law holding a machete.

Xie Yangui stood behind the city wall, ate a bite of food and took a bite of food, and looked into the distance.

When the people saw her like this, they also looked out.

If you have food in your hand, you will follow her example and eat a bite of food.

"Well, here we are!" Suddenly, Xie Yangui spoke.

Just when everyone was puzzled, they saw a beam of fireworks rushing towards the sky from a distance

It bursts into a beautiful firework.

After this one, two more rose one after another in the enemy camp in the distance, and what could be seen immediately was smoke rising.

"Ouch, that's over there, isn't it?"

"Isn't that the enemy camp over there?"

The eldest brother and sister-in-law who were mixed in with the soldiers couldn't help but speak, for fear of disturbing Xie Yangui, and after finishing speaking, they quickly covered their mouths and continued to look into the distance.

"General Xie, this ...... That's what you call a gift?" Vice General Chen was closest to Xie Yangui, he swallowed the food in his mouth and asked.

"This must be a big gift, right? You said that this is not a New Year's Day, let's set off fireworks to show them, what a big gift?" Xie Yangui said with a smile.

"Well, fireworks are expensive things, and we rarely see them once a year at our border, and we all set off firecrackers." Vice General Jiang nodded solemnly.

In southern Qiannan, it is the poorest border pass, and the army or the people have money, all of which are added to food and clothing, to catch up with the festive days of the New Year, or to add Ding to the family to import, so they are willing to put some artillery battles lively.

For example, ordinary people will not buy fireworks at all, and the army will not spend that money.

A few years ago, the big guys had seen fireworks, which were brought by Anyang Tuo.

It's just that at that time, although everyone was happy, it was far less than it is now.

"Rong Di and the Burmese people have to thank us!"

"Ouch, today's meal is so delicious!"

"No, I can eat three more bowls!"

"Don't do that, just eat enough, we have to save some food!"

"Hahahahaha!"

I don't know who said it, you and I said it one by one, and at the end, I couldn't help laughing.

"We still have to eat when we are full, we will have the strength to fight the enemy when we are full, don't worry, big guy, I will think of another way to get us more food."

Xie Yangui turned around, looked at the people with smiles on their faces, and assured them.

With the thoughtful Yufeng Grain Village, the next batch of grain should not be a problem, and she has already sent the request over.

"General, we're just saying that there's enough food to eat, and you've done enough!"

"Yes, General, if it weren't for you, we might still be hungry by now! Not to mention the occasional meat!"

"General, thanks to you, my daughter-in-law gave birth to a little fat girl!"

After hearing Xie Yangui's words, the people mixed in the soldiers couldn't help but speak, and some of the young generals also echoed.

The smile on Xie Yangui's face deepened.

After a few more small talks, she beckoned them all to come down from the wall, and the soldiers returned to their places, and the people returned to their place.

After the others dispersed, Xie Yangui looked at several lieutenant generals and instructed them.

"All the defenses in the city must be carefully inspected every day, and nothing is omitted, and from tomorrow onwards, you will go to the northern city to inspect according to what has been discussed."

"The rest of the generals will come to the barracks to look for me after inspecting the various locations again, and I will always be here."
