Chapter 148 A new beginning

The sun shines high, making people want to sleep. Qingzhou in July has already been clear and cool in autumn, but it is like a stove, which is so hot.

Where is this?

Who knows where this place is? Do you still care about this? Anyway, this place is definitely not the end, and the road ahead is still far.

Until the night had already arrived, the troops were stationed in a deserted village. Today is the seventeenth or eighteenth day of leaving Qingzhou.

Leaving Qingzhou, we headed west, with the front team and the back team following, and no one cared about where they were going, anyway. Even if someone wanted to know where they were now, they couldn't know that since they entered this area five days ago, they had never seen a living person again.

"Mara Gobi, is this ghost place the legendary Mala Gobi? I wonder if there are any grass mud horses?" Hu You muttered in a low voice as the sweat on his clothes.

Hu You can be said to be familiar with the action of twisting clothes. Can you not be familiar with it? He has to do such a thing all the way, especially in these few days, in an average of hour. This dead place is so hot, no wonder he can't see half a living person along the way. This is not a place where people live. Not to mention humans, it's hard to live even ghosts here.

That person said, it’s so troublesome, can’t you not walk without walking? It’s all right to sweat.

How can it be? If you like to wear it or not, no one will care about you. You can run naked. But the premise is that you have to stand the sun here. From a glance, there are not even leaves everywhere you go, with the high temperature of more than 40 degrees, and the sun that is so hardworking that you don’t want to rest for a minute. If you don’t have the black skin of your black buddy, it’s better to wear your clothes, otherwise even your yellow skin will be battered.

"Come on, I'll give you water." Hongye saw Hu You wringing out his clothes, came to Hu You's side, and handed him a bottle of water.

It's not so good to have a red leaf on such a hot day. Look at her body, she almost became an Arab. Her big eyes were exposed and she was covered with a gauze scarf.

"Ye Yu took the water and took a big sip without hesitation, letting the coolness flow, and the stomach and intestines are vented. This feeling, well, is comparable to that ice black tea. However, before the water reaches the stomach and intestines, half of it turns into sweat beads.

"You can drink a little more, I can't finish it anyway." Seeing Hu You carefully handing the water bottle back, Hongye couldn't bear it and said.

Hu You smiled and said, "It's so sweet that you can enjoy it in one sip. You can take a sip too."

You think Hu You doesn't want to drink too much. If he lets go, let alone a pot, even if he gets one more pot, Hu You can still get it.

However, this water is quite large, and each person only has one pot a day. Hu You's own pot has long disappeared, and this pot is still from other people's red leaves. He drank the red leaves, so what should he do if the red leaves are? It will take several hours before the water truck can deliver the water.

"Yeah" Hongye took a sip of the spout and put away the water. She said Hu You, she drank less herself.

Hu You put the wet clothes on his shoulders, looked at Hongye, and smiled wickedly: "Drink your water, please help you do something. Give me the clothes and I will twist them for you."

In this wilderness, there are tens of thousands of soldiers around, and the girl can take off her clothes. Hongye suddenly felt bad and turned her eyes off. Hu You looked at her with anger and said angrily: "The sun is so big that you can't ridicule your bad thoughts."

Hu You laughed and said, "It's hot, so it's so angry."

"Sir, are we starting camping?" Zhu Daneng came to Hu You's side and asked for advice.

Hu You took the water from Hongye's hand and handed it to Zhu Daneng. This guy was fat and was most afraid of heat. Hu You knew that his pot of water must have disappeared long ago:

"Drink a little water first, take a rest, it's not too late to wait until the weather gets colder before camping. You have to take a breath even if you hang yourself. The soldiers have been away for a day."

Zhu Daneng was not polite, so he took the water mouth and said in a cold breath: "Okay, then wait for the weather to cool down, and then let's hurry up."

Yu nodded and said, "We all told us to pay attention. In this ghost place, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, be careful not to catch a cold. If you have caught a cold, remember to give them some marching and camping matters, don't let them do it."

Although it is so hot that it can be roasted during the day, it is so cold at night. At this time, many soldiers in the army have caught a cold. The Blizzard Legion was born in Qingzhou, and they are not afraid of how cold it is, but they can't stand it.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you sir." Zhu Daneng returned the kettle to Hu You. He only took a sip and stopped drinking it. He held it in his hand, purely for yin.

Hu You and Zhu Daneng were talking, and suddenly a man screamed from a distance:

"Woo, okay, I can finally leave here. Hahaha, I'll leave right away. This damn place, I won't stay for a minute."

Hu You glanced at it, shook his head, and a trace of pity flashed through his face: "One more crazy."

The powerful nodded without expressing any opinions. Such things will happen from time to time these days, and it is no longer surprising.

The extreme disappointment caused by ceding the land, coupled with the harsh geographical conditions here, many people have problems with their spirits to varying degrees. Any small stimulation will cause serious psychological disorders.

There are not many people who can leave here, but they will definitely not be those civilians without power. Since the news that the empire ceded Qingzhou to Anrong was confirmed, people have begun to seek connections and leave the Blizzard Legion. After the news of the transfer of Qingzhou Blizzard from Valencia to Wangcheng, the westernmost cave of the empire, it has reached **. Anyone with a little relationship is trying to find a way to leave the Blizzard Legion.

The commander of the corps of the corps, Sumadar, died of illness, and the deputy commander of the corps, Kresbodong Ducheng, was captured alive by Anrong people. His whereabouts are still unknown. Even the corps of Qingzhou were ceded to others. Now the Blizzard Legion is a child without a mother and no one cares for him.

At the beginning, those people had some fantasies about the Blizzard Legion. After all, the Blizzard Legion is one of the five major legions of the Empire. The broken ship has three kilograms of nails. Even if it is now down, it still has some foundation. If it leaves Qingzhou, it is still possible to make a comeback.

But when the order to go to Dongwang City came down, people's hearts were completely cold. Everyone knew that Valencia was going to give up the Blizzard Legion.

What is Dongwang City? It is located in the westernmost part of the empire. Although Qingzhou is cold, there are also some good resources such as Snow Monkey. What is Dongwang City? It is poor and has bad water, and it is specialized in attracting people. There are so many robbers that they can't catch them. The people are so poor that they don't even find a copper plate to scrape sand. They have no food to eat, and no water to drink. I heard that women will never have to go out forever when they get married. Why don't they go out? The family is so poor that they don't even have pairs of pants, how can they go out?

In such a place, it is not a fool. Anyone in the army who has some connections begs grandpa and grandma, and finds ways to transfer from the Blizzard Legion. They would rather be demoted than leave. They can go to any other legion, and local garrisons. If they really can't, they will find a way to leave the army. As long as they are not treated as deserters, they would rather not be the soldier than leave.

Just like that, the Blizzard Legion has more than 100,000 soldiers, but most of them have no way to leave. They can do nothing except join the army, and they have no home to go home to take the army as their home, or offend the upper class of the empire and cannot leave even if they want to leave, they are all pitiful people.

Hu You didn't leave, it was not that he couldn't leave, but that he didn't want to leave. In fact, before Valencia's transfer order arrived in Qingzhou, Hu You had already received news from Ximen Yufeng. Speaking of which, Ximen Yufeng's sister was really nice to Hu You. Not only did she send news to Hu You in advance, but she also paved all the way for Hu You. As long as Hu You nodded, Ximen Yufeng could transfer him to the Red Fen Army immediately, and even promoted him to another level.

I don’t know how many people dreamed that they could fall on their heads, but Hu You said ‘no’ about this arrangement. He did not accept Ximen Yufeng’s arrangement, and remained in the Blizzard Legion and followed the army to defend Wangcheng.

Is Hu You stupid? Is there a good life, but I have to live a hard life?

Of course Hu You is not stupid. If Hu You is stupid, then there will be not many smart people in this world.

Now everyone looks down on these 50,000 remaining soldiers, thinking that the Blizzard Legion is about to be finished. However, Hu You regards these soldiers who cannot leave as treasures. Although these 50,000 remaining soldiers have almost never won a decent victory in the entire Qingzhou War after countless failures, they are truly veterans who have experienced the war.

On the battlefield, it is not difficult to kill the enemy, and it is not difficult to let the enemy kill. The difficulty is how to survive while killing the enemy.

It is far more difficult to survive a defeat than to survive a victory. Among these 50,000 soldiers, except for Hu You and the thousands of new soldiers who have only experienced one breakthrough battle, no one has ever experienced many battles without dying. Everyone knows that it is easy to get a general but it is hard to get a general, but not many people know another sentence - a famous general needs a good soldier.

What kind of soldiers are good soldiers? Those soldiers who have never seen them on the battlefield are limited. Some soldiers are so loud that they can scream before they go to the battlefield. What is the life I have to fight for, and what about eighteen years later, they are another hero. They all say it as if the only one brother in the world is the best.

But when you really want to go to the battlefield, you have not seen anything yet and you just wet your pants. Do you think fighting is fun and heroic romance?

No, absolutely not. War is a nice and beautified statement. The essence of war is two kinds, one is to kill people, and the other is to be killed. On the battlefield, there are always flesh and blood, especially in this era of cold weapons, the wailings of those who are about to die can make your heart burst.

Only soldiers who have truly experienced the battlefield but have not died can be called good soldiers. Soldiers who have not experienced the baptism of the battlefield have to go too far.

Now there are such soldiers in front of Hu You, and they can release 50,000 as soon as they are released. For Hu You, who has always wanted to have a unit of his own, how could he still move?

In the eyes of many people, Dongwang City is regarded as hell, but in Hu You's eyes, this is a good opportunity, and this is the best opportunity God gave him.

What's wrong with the western part of the empire? What's wrong with the more robbers? The western part of the empire means that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. When it comes there, it will be difficult for the orders of the imperial capital to be effectively implemented, and no one can control it.

Hard and poor are not a problem. As long as you find a way, life will gradually get better. Children of poor people are starting their own family early. How can they produce talents if they don’t have hardships? Can they raise good soldiers every day?

Isn’t the old saying that when God is about to give a great responsibility to a person, he must first suffer his mind and mind, exhaust his muscles and bones, starve his body, and be empty and useless. He will do what he does, so he must be moved and endure his nature.

The last sentence "to move the heart and endure the nature" is the most powerful. The heart must move, and the nature must be tolerated. It is said that the woodcutter who chops wood must tolerate it, and what is tolerated is that there are no tigers and wolves howling in the mountains; the fisherman who fishes must tolerate it, and what is tolerated it is calm and the waves are so calm that it can be copied; the farmer who plows the fields must tolerate it, and what is tolerated it is to be rich in grains and good fields and seedlings everywhere; the students who study also have to endure it, and it can be tolerated it by jumping into the dragon gate. Golden scales are not objects in the pond, but they must also endure it until the wind and clouds turn into dragons again, right?

What Hu You has to do now is to endure. As long as he waits for the opportunity, he will get 50,000 soldiers. Isn’t it better than the fishermen, woodcutters and farming? If you really can’t bear it, then you won’t be a robber. It’s okay to fight robbers, train soldiers, get wealth, and calm the people’s hearts. You can win three goals in one go.

Don't want such a good opportunity? I don't want it. If Valencia hadn't been fooled this time, you wouldn't have encountered such a good thing if you searched all over the continent. This is because of good character, God is attached to it.

Hu You didn't leave, and of course Hongye wouldn't leave. Hongye's father Hong Fangzheng had already helped Hongye find a way to the Royal Cavalry Regiment. If he didn't want to go, he could retire. Whatever he wanted was all chosen by Hongye.

But Hongye is just focused on Hu You, letting go of those great lives, she doesn't want to follow Hu You to this place where the birds don't poop, and it's like an Arab girl. People say that they have a lot of water to drink, but this place of birds can't even drink water.

Zhu Daneng didn't leave, but it was not all. He followed Hu You in part because of the family's decision.

Hu You is one of the people who are focusing on the forces behind Zhu Daneng. According to his previous analysis of Hu You, they believe that people like Hu You will never disappear without a trace like meteors. People like him should be worthy of attention no matter where they are placed. So even in places like Dongwangcheng, they are willing to send Zhu Daneng over. They should see at close range how much Hu You can do.

If it weren't for the consent of the family, it would be impossible for Zhu Daneng to follow Hu You. Zhu Daneng's family would not allow the next generation of main characters to go to Dongwang City to retire. Therefore, many things cannot be overwhelmed by just a "loyalty". Reality is always realistic, and everyone needs to consider it from multiple sources.

The power of the sun finally could not withstand the thickness of the earth. A gust of night wind blew, and the air became cold in an instant. The group of people who had a certain rest had divided their work and began to build a tent to stay overnight.

The ten new recruits that Sumadar finally established were not yet urgently reported to the establishment, so they were not considered regular imperial soldiers and were relatively free. Among the ten corps, only the ** regiment followed Hu You and went on the road together. The other nine new recruits have been disbanded. Some of the disbanded nine new recruits chose to join the new recruits, while more left the current Blizzard Legion and went their separate ways.

Hu You was also busy at this time, commanding the soldiers of the ** regiment and relying on the right geography to build tents and camps. This is his habit. Unlike the habits of other generals in the army, he always likes to be with soldiers more often.

Hongye followed Hu You as always, becoming a beautiful scenery in the army. The soldiers were also used to Hongye following Hu You. Sometimes when they were tired of working, they would take a look at the female military advisor and then feel that they were strong again. Soldiers with good character would sometimes get water sent by the female military advisor in person, which was their happiest time.

"Everyone is quicker to move. You must repair the drainage ditch. You can't be lazy. The consequence of being lazy is that you have to sleep in the water at night. You don't want to wake up and find yourself floating on the tent." Hu You's voice turned out between the soldiers, causing the soldiers to laugh.

"Sir, will there be rain tonight?" a soldier asked. At first, he didn't dare to do this. Before joining the army, he heard that the officers in the army were very fierce and would punish soldiers at any time. It was not until he joined the ** regiment that he realized that those people were wrong. Lord Hu You also punished soldiers, but he only punished those who did not obey orders and did not complete the task. He did not punish them at any time.

Just like now, in a non-war state, you can still joke with him casually, and he is never angry.

Hu You looked up at the little soldier who made a sound, and laughed and said, "It's Maori, hehe, you guys stand up, be careful not to fall down. Do you like raining or not?"

Hu You's memory is not very good, but he can remember the names of every soldier in the ** regiment. This was a hard worker, and it is not that easy to remember the names and appearances of five thousand soldiers.

Maori was not surprised that Hu You could call out his name, because he knew that in the eyes of other superiors, he might be an unknown soldier, and in Hu You's eyes, every soldier is a person with a name and a surname. They are not numbers, but real ones.

"Sir Hu You, I hope it will rain tonight and the water in my kettle will be gone." Maori replied with a smile: "Look..."

Hu You waved his hand and smiled, "Don't ask me, I'll drink the water from our beautiful military advisor."
