Chapter 177 Chasing the North (twenty-six)
Heavy snow also covered Shanyang City.
As the heavy snow moved, everyone in Shanyang City seemed to slow down. It was a customary rule that the border areas did not fight in winter.
Even the extremely vicious grassland tribes regard marching and fighting as a fear in winter. Now in Mayi County, even if Wang Rengong and Liu Wuzhou have turned into black-eyed chickens, it seems that from Shanyang, it is not necessary to drive the army in this ice and snow, and fight to the death?
In any case, we must let everyone have a stable winter day. Even if we beat up a mountain of corpses and blood in Mayi County in the coming spring, everyone will recognize it. After all, in this world, the superiors fight each other, and the people can do not have many things except to endure it.
Moreover, now the military spirit of the Mayi Yingyang Mansion is not very suitable for the troops. It was only after a riot was settled, and people were worried that Wang Rengong would settle the future, so they had to wait and see.
Although that defeat was half true and half false, running forward would also have considerable harm to the morale of the army. Normally, it is rare to drive the army into battle without a short period of rest.
On that day, thousands of troops gathered for trouble outside the city gate, half arranged to enter the city, and half arranged to spend the winter camp outside the city, and everyone planned to rest and spend the winter.
I don’t know if it was to calm the morale of the army, Wang Rengong allocated a large amount of supplies to improve these winter camps, waterproof linoleum, cold-proof silk cotton, and warm firewood. Trucks drove into various camps. Even the extremely precious wine in Yunzhongcheng was sent without hesitation, not to mention the frozen sheep, the peeled pigs, bags of grain and rice, buckets of pickled vegetables, and the fine Hedong white salt. It seemed that Wang Rengong was about to spend his days next year and turned out all his belongings.
The generals of the troubled military gathered every three days and every five days, and were welcomed by Wang Rengong. Although Wang Rengong rarely came in person, Wang Zhongtong would attend many times. The eldest son of the Wang family put down his posture and was willing to talk to these local military generals for a little while. These vulgar military generals were overjoyed and felt that they were more than just being looked at by the previous ones.
Wang Rengong also recruited many people from all over the world who did not get along well with the local indigenous army and generals and performed poorly, and even sent them out of Mayi County. This made Mayi indigenous army generals think that Wang Rengong really wanted to regard them as their confidant.
In short, this winter, everyone in the Yingyang Mansion in Mayi thought that it would have a good winter. As for fighting next year, everyone will be able to eat this bowl of rice. What else can they complain then?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In a military camp outside the city, there is a peaceful atmosphere at this moment.
The military camp was located at the foot of the mountain, which was the place to shelter the wind. The trenches and towers were all available. Inside the camp, in addition to the warm tents of the central army, there were rows of ground nests with linoleums covered with linoleums and smoke ducts were left.
Although the ground nests, like fish scales, look quite shabby, are the most practical in winter camps. They are both material-saving and warm, and have no other disadvantages except that the air is slightly turbid.
In the past, the military camp demanded silence and strictness, and most feared that the soldiers would connect themselves in private and make noises. However, these soldiers have made great efforts for the generals and created a situation where Wang Rengong retreated and won over. In the winter camp, there was no threat of enemy situation, so who would still be in charge of them?
As long as there was no heavy snow, the soldiers felt that the breathing was not smooth in the nest during the day, and they all came out one after another. Three groups and five gathered together, and piled up fires, boiled soup and hot wine, whispered loudly, and passed the long winter.
Chen Xi was surrounded by more than ten brothers, sitting in front of a fire, not even wearing a leather robe. In the cold wind, there was a piece of sheep. With the help of alcohol, he didn't feel any cold. There was a chamber of sheep hanging on the fire, and several soldiers took care of it, sprinkled salt and sprinkled golden spices, and turned and roasted slowly. Seeing that the fire was almost over and the fragrance spread out, a soldier pulled out his dagger, took off a large piece of meat from the sheep's scapula and handed it to Chen Xi.
Chen Xi took it, but he was not afraid of being hot. He opened his mouth and just sipped his face, and the scars on his face looked particularly hideous.
The soldiers also made a move, cut off the meat and chewed it, and swallowed it sweetly. After a few bites of the meat, a soldier patted his belly and said with satisfaction: "Who knows there are these benefits if you don't make a fuss about this? Those big men compete for the world, and we will be a little bit rich. It's worth eating this bowl of blood-licking rice! By the next year, even if you fight with Liu Ying, it's not worth it!"
Chen Xi spat out the meat dump in his mouth with a spit, his eyes were a little red: "Look at this, can you beat Liu Ying's attack? Winter is the day to train troops and train troops. In the past, in winter, either practice formations in heavy snow or practice martial arts in severe cold. The colder it is, the more fierce it is, the more fierce it is. If anyone shrinks his head and brain, he will knock on it! This is a scattered winter, and he will face Liu Ying's attack on Heng'an soldiers. If he wins, he will write a certain Chen word upside down!"
The soldiers stopped moving. These soldiers were all brothers who exchanged their lives with Chen Xi. Someone came over and asked in a low voice: "If we see the formation in the spring of next year, we might as well go and throw it..."
Chen Xi's face became more and more gloomy and he shook his head: "What's the point of winning the battle? I can't resist the fight against you! Liu Yingjiu still couldn't see that, Liu Yingjiu had no food!"
The soldiers all listened quietly to Chen Xi.
"………………………………………………………………………………………………… I hope that the people of Mayi will have some conscience and let the people of Mayi have finished this winter. In spring, the food will be collected, at least the road will be snowed, and the weather will be warmer, so that everyone can escape to Hedong to earn a life!"
The soldiers were silent, and Chen Xi just kept saying it: "It's the hardship of the people of Mayi! Last year, the family was broken and the war with the Turks, and maybe they would starve to death this year! What is the prefect of the king and the Liu Ying attack? As long as who can protect the safety of the people of Mayi, whoever can take us to fight the Turkic dogs will follow! Now it seems that Wang Rengong is not such a person!"
At this time, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and the camp generals came back to the camp surrounded by a bunch of personal guards. The camp generals were also drunk, but they could not see much joy. The guards around them also looked serious and hurried to the central army's warm tent. After walking along the way, the fire-burning soldiers stood up and saluted the generals.
When passing by Chen Xi and his group of people, the generals of the camp glanced at Chen Xi. Chen Xi did not look up and sat on his own. When the soldiers stood up to salute, they were worried, afraid that Chen Xi would say something to cause trouble again.
Chen Xi is a man with a big temper and can get along with someone if he speaks. He is very qualified in the Yingyang Mansion of Mayi, but he can't get promoted.
Chen Xi was so rude that the general of the camp did not even bother with him. He just clicked him with a whip: "You are the team leader, and you are also talking to a certain camp! You should use some energy in the past few days of eating and using the prefect!"
