Chapter 18 Military Camp Studies (Part 2)
Liu Yixuan only felt that the atmosphere in the barracks was wrong. He was just spending his stomach and forgot about the feeling of the soldiers around him. He was too familiar with the gaze emitted from these people's eyes, because he had used this kind of look to look at others countless times.
When I was in middle school, I rode my bicycle home in the heavy rain, but my classmate had a Mercedes-Benz to pick me up and drop it off at the school gate. When I arrived at the university, my roommate in the upper bunk changed a girl a week, but I had been fucked for four years.
Liu Yixuan became the bearer of this kind of gaze today, but he didn't feel any superiority at all. He knew that these soldiers were arrested from all over the place, and some even came to the military camp to fill their stomachs. Because of his experience of "enviousness, jealousy and hatred", Liu Yixuan developed some sympathy and pity for these poor children. He smiled slightly at them and asked, "Do you want to eat too? Come and eat together!"
Seeing that he was so generous, several soldiers lost their hostility. They came over and reached out to grab the remaining half of the roast goose to eat. They quickly stopped him and said to Liu Yixuan: "Young Master, if you give them food, we have nothing to eat?"
Liu Yixuan smiled and said, "It's okay. We can go back to the mansion and eat. They may rarely have the chance to eat these, so just give them the gift." He said to the soldiers, "If you want to eat them, you can take all of them!"
"Then thank you, Mr.! We are not polite!"
Several soldiers hurried up and snatched the half of the roast goose and tore it apart with their hands. The soldier named "Xiao Liu" hurried over and thanked: "Young Master is such a good person. I offended so much this morning, don't take it to your heart!"
Liu Yixuan smiled and said, "Haha, I won't mind a small matter."
In fact, half a roast goose or a little beef is enough for these people. Fortunately, these people who have lived and died have some loyalty and no major disputes have occurred. Liu Yixuan is also worried that the tragedy of "two peaches kill three soldiers", which seems to be redundant.
Liu Yixuan came to Xiaoliu again and asked, "Xiaoliu, have you ever fought on the battlefield?"
Xiao Liu shook his head and said, "No, they think I am small and ask me to guard the military camp when I am fighting."
"Oh, then how old are you this year?" Liu Yixuan asked.
"It's fifteenth this year." There was a bit of childishness in his voice.
"It's only fifteen? Then why are you here to join the army?" Liu Yixuan asked in confusion.
"My hometown is in Shaanxi. Three years ago, the Xixia soldiers entered the pass and robbed me and killed my parents. I was helpless. I heard that I could have food to eat when I joined the army, so I entered the military camp."
"Oh, so that's it. But this is also good. A seven-foot man should go on the battlefield to kill the enemy and serve the country!" Liu Yixuan talked about the great truth.
"I'm six and a half feet!" Xiao Liu replied.
"You are not afraid of six and a half feet. Killing enemies is not about height or shortness. Tu Xingsun can still make great contributions! As long as you work hard, you may become a general!"
After hearing this, several soldiers next to them were laughing at them. For those who have been on the battlefield, saving their lives is much more important than being a general.
Xiaoliu asked, "I listened to the conversation between the young master and the coach Yuan at the gate. I knew that you were the young master of the prime minister. Since you were the young master of the prime minister, why did you also run to the military camp to join the army?"
"I didn't come to join the army when I went to the military camp. I just wanted to learn some guns and sticks from Teacher Yuan. When the Jin soldiers come in the future, they can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy!"
"Does the young master also go to the battlefield to kill the enemy? It is all done by the children of poor families who serve in the army. How can the scholars like you, who are rich families, go to the battlefield to kill the enemy?"
"What's wrong? Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. I am also a citizen of the Song Dynasty. I should defend my country! By the way, I have a good friend, the son of the Wang Taiwei family, named Wang Zichun. It is said that he is also a small school in the imperial guards. Do you know him?"
"The prince of the Wang Taiwei family? I have never heard of it!" Xiao Liu joined the army for a while and was not familiar with the generals in the army. He thought about it and never thought about it.
"Oh, maybe you don't know him. A few days ago, Taiwei Wang was ordered to go to Taiyuan, and my good friend also followed his father. I originally wanted to go to war, but my father thought I was not good at martial arts, so I didn't agree to me. So I went to the military camp to learn gun technique with Teacher Yuan. When I learned gun technique well, I went to the battle to kill the enemy. Maybe I could still be a general and be a general!"
"Haha, that's good. When the young master becomes a general, he must promote the young man and let us be a lieutenant, a captain, or something!" After eating Liu Yixuan's wine and meat, everyone heard that he had a lofty ambitions, and they all said something nice to coax him, which was also a kind of reward for his food. Unfortunately, Liu Yixuan thought too naively, because in this upcoming chaotic world, it was already a great fortune to survive intact, let alone be a general.
Everyone was eating, drinking, talking and laughing, but suddenly they heard the sound of "dongdongdongdong" drums outside the tent. Several soldiers put down their bowls and chopsticks, quickly got up and rushed to the school ground. Liu Yixuan didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly came to ask Xiaoliu: "Xiaoliu, what's wrong? Why are you all running away?"
Xiao Liudao: "The drum sound just now was summoning soldiers to gather at the school. I'm afraid there is any emergency military information, so young master, the villain will lose his companion!" Then he ran out.
"Hey hey, it's just finished the meal, so it's not appropriate to do strenuous exercise, don't you know?..." Liu Yixuan shouted to the soldiers who ran out. However, when these soldiers heard the order, they dared not delay at all and went to the schoolyard one after another.
Seeing that everyone had run to the schoolyard, Liu Yixuan didn't know what happened, so he took his promotion to the schoolyard. When Teacher Yuan saw Liu Yixuan coming, he said, "The border war has been in a tight situation recently. In order to prevent the Jin soldiers from sneak attacking, the imperial guards of the "Yang" camp have to go to Chenqiaoyi in the east of the city to change their defenses. Today, the young master can go back first and come to practice again next day!"
"What? Let me go now? Why haven't I learned it yet?" Liu Yixuan asked.
Teacher Yuan said: "Young Master, please go back to your house to continue practicing assassination. I will teach you footwork again in the future. Today, the military situation is urgent. Yuan's military order is here and cannot accompany you." As he said that, he gathered the team and ran out of the gate and headed east to the city.
Liu Yixuan wanted to learn some marksmanship and show off his power, but he didn't want to stab the scarecrow for noon, so he had to return depressed.
After leaving the imperial guards' barracks, Liu Yixuan asked himself silently: "Do I really plan to go to fight to kill the enemy in this chaotic era? But I have never even killed a chicken, and of course I have never been to it. Although I can feel the pleasure of killing several soldiers with one knife when playing games, what if I really get on the stand and get impotence?
No, I can't die in the Song Dynasty without any clarity. I still have to go back alive! But how can I go back? I came here after peeking at the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". It seems that I have to find this painting first, but who the hell knows where that painting is? It is said that Zhang Zeduan presented the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" to Song Huizong, but how could he get this painting from Song Huizong?"
