How long will he be able to hold out?

Half a year, or a year?

Or, like the previous prefectural order, in the county seat of that mound for three years?

Wei Dingshan insisted on discussing northwest affairs with He Chengye, and immediately gave up hope.

Young, weak, too soft towards barbarians, what ideas can there be?

He sat on horseback, looking up at the vast blue sky in the northwest, but felt extremely lonely.

Anyway, I know how to change some herbs, and I can help him with some logistics.

It's okay if you don't do it well, as long as you don't hold back.

In a short period of time, Wei Dingshan is ready to continue to fight alone in the next few years, as long as Yan Junqi stays honestly in the county as a mascot and doesn't make trouble for him.

Unexpectedly, before entering the city, he suddenly heard the rapid sound of gongs.

When he came back to his senses, he saw that the small county town, which he was quite familiar with, suddenly closed the gates that were better than nothing.

Two officials at the city gate shouted at them: "Who is here?!" ”

"Which general is it? We haven't received any orders from friendly troops to enter the city, so don't come any closer, please stay outside the city for the time being! ”

Wei Dingshan: "......"

Dragon and Tiger Battalion, Tiger Army: "......"

They have been in the northwest for 20 years, and for the first time they have been blocked outside the city, they can't help but feel a fresh and subtle sense of absurdity.

Two petty officials dared to raise their bows and arrows at them?!

What kind of mess, you ruined city, or did they help repair it!

Yan Junqi: "Don't blame the general, they just act according to the law, wait a minute, I'll ask them to open the city gate." ”

After that, he urged the official to drive on.

The generals who were left in a trance slowly came out of a corner in their minds, and they had forgotten the Daqi law for a decade or two—

Without prior notice, the army was not allowed to trespass on the city gates.

Even in wartime emergencies, the army can only be temporarily stationed outside the city.

“……”

Accustomed to the fact that the northwest is full of their camps, I have long forgotten about this!

The official saw that it was Yan Junqi in the carriage, and immediately called the official below to open the city gate.

When Lu Zhou heard the sound of the gong, he was also hurrying from the county office to the city gate, still carrying his bow on his back.

Considering the capacity of this small county town, Wei Dingshan asked the troops to camp in place, and he only brought a team of personal soldiers and a few generals into the city.

As soon as he entered the city, he saw the bow on Lu Zhou's back.

He stopped and looked down on Lu Zhou from his horse.

Lu Zhou was inexplicably looked at him, looked up and smiled at him kindly.

Wei Dingshan subconsciously clenched the reins, "What's your name?" ”

Lu Zhou replied, "Lu Zhou." ”

Wei Dingshan: "Lu Zhou." He recalled the names mentioned in the letter, "Oh, you are the companion of His Highness?" ”

Lu Zhou nodded and asked kindly, "Are you General Wei?" I've heard Ah Mao talk about you. ”

Wei Dingshan nodded, and couldn't help but look at the bow on his back again.

Lu Zhou was inexplicable, seeing that his eyes crossed his eyes, he understood, took off the bow, and held it to Wei Dingshan.

Wei Dingshan didn't answer, shook his head at him, and asked, "Have you used it?" ”

Lu Zhou nodded.

Wei Dingshan looked at the messy arrows in the quiver on Lu Zhou's back, "This is a good bow, and those arrows are wasted." ”

He took off his quiver and threw it to Lu Zhou: "Use it well." ”

Lu Zhou subconsciously caught it, and he was still a little confused.

Sent him?

A whole bag of arrows cast in pure iron was given to him?!

Not only Lu Zhou was stunned, but Wei Dingshan's personal soldiers were a little confused.

Wei Dingshan's arrows, like his swords, are all made by the best craftsmen in Daqi, each one is worth a lot of money, every time he shoots out, he has to work hard to find it, and usually Wei Dingshan will personally maintain it, so he sent it out?

Lu Zhou didn't know the value of this bag of arrows, but he gently touched the tip of the cold arrow, and couldn't help but smile in love.

"Thank you, General!"

Wei Dingshan smiled rarely, "Use it well." ”

The author has something to say:

General Fan: I can't think of it~ Reliable and not nameless

Lu Xu: I can't think of it, if you don't quarrel, you have to seize the opportunity to chat, occupy the high point, and use the classic sentence "It's not all for your good", and ~ The law is not in vain!

Chapter 308: Argument

Because of the accident at the city gate, Wei Dingshan looked at this small city more carefully, and immediately he noticed a lot of differences.

The streets are cleaner than ever.

The house also seems to be neater than when I last visited.

And the biggest difference is in people.

It was still cold, and there weren't many people on the street, but everyone was in good spirits.

That natural smile, he hadn't seen in a long, long time.

When the old man who was drying his clothes saw that the child had run to their horse, he hurried over and pulled the child aside, and smiled apologetically at them.

But she walked quickly but unhurriedly, as if she knew that they would not blame her and the child, and there was no fear of seeing officials and soldiers at all.

It's like greeting an acquaintance.

The child was not afraid to see them, and looked up at them curiously with his fingers winked.

Seeing that the adults on the horse looked at him, they smiled sweetly at them.

Seeing the child's innocent and lovely smile, like a spring flower, the soldiers on the horse were all stunned, and in an instant, they had to forget that they were in the northwest, which was not stable at this moment, and could be bathed in war at any time.

Passing by the family, the soldiers still couldn't help but look back.

Watching the child cross the street, catch up with the other two children, and be held by the older children, the three of them ran away hand in hand, and they inexplicably felt like crying.

They think of their hometown where they haven't returned for many years, of the children of their hometown, and of their carefree childhood.

When they arrived at the gate of the county office, they saw a group of small children squatting or sitting or standing by the wall, babbling and reading with their heads up, and they already felt that they were dreaming.

What's even more outrageous is that the group of old people sitting on the side weaving baskets and sewing clothes can still teach those children what words to read.

Someone couldn't help but whisper to join the army: "Are they reading it right?" ”

Joining the army nodded solemnly: "That's right." ”

The invincible soldiers of the illiterate Dragon and Tiger Battalion in the Northwest: "......"

Is this still the Northwest they are familiar with?

Wei Dingshan's impression of Yan Junqi has changed.

Yan Junqi didn't rush to take them into the county office, but found a doctor who was practicing the pulse of the old man and children in the middle of the group of children.

Yan Junqi called him: "Doctor Zhao." ”

Their barefoot doctor was frowning and carefully discerning the difference in the pulse of children of different ages, and Yan Junqi shouted at him three times, but he didn't hear it.

The old man on the side laughed and patted him, and the doctor hurriedly got up, "Lord County, didn't you go to the market?" ”

Immediately, he saw a group of soldiers behind Yan Junqi, and he was a little confused.

Yan Junqi: "General Wei led the troops to pass by and set up camp outside the city, you go outside the city to help the soldiers see if anyone is sick, I brought two truckloads of medicine back, what do you need, ask them to find it for you." ”

Yan Junqi pointed to the two officials.

Doctor Zhao didn't have any opinions, "oh oh" and said yes, called his grandson, granddaughter, and the two newly recruited little apprentices, and went out of the city with the medicine box with the official.

Yan Junqi explained to Wei Dingshan: "Dr. Zhao is very skilled in treating frostbite and wind cold. ”

Wei Dingshan's impression of Yan Junqi was a little better, "Thank you." ”

Immediately sent his own soldiers to help the doctor lead the way and carry the medicine box.

Yan Junqi noticed the change in Wei Dingshan's expression, but he just smiled and didn't say anything.

He guessed that Wei Dingshan and his entourage did not go to the military horse camp, but retreated directly south to Crouching Tiger Pass.

Withdrawing here from the north in the snow and south, Wei Dingshan is not in a very good state, let alone those soldiers.

He looked on the road and saw that almost everyone had frostbite. From Beiting County to Wohu Pass, there are still five or six days to travel quickly, and I don't know how many injuries will be added when we arrive.

Count as much as you can help, those herbs, Lu Xu originally changed them for the military horse battalion.

They had just entered the county office, and He Chengye also came from the military horse camp.

Hearing that He Chengye had arrived, Lu Zhou put down his bow and arrows, and hurriedly ran to pick up people.

Wei Dingshan asked, "Does he know He Chengye?" ”

Yan Junqi explained: "When he was in the capital, He Dujun once taught Lu Zhou homework, and he was half of Mr. Lu Zhou. ”

When Wei Dingshan heard "half a gentleman", he sneered and said in a low voice: "Hypocrisy." ”

Yan Junqi raised his eyebrows.
