There is no such thing as a ban on alcohol in Changguan in Beidi.
Even in the tent of the Green-faced Ghost Rakshasa Ghost Commander, there is always no shortage of wine jars. Even during wartime, in addition to money and food supplies, wine is also continuously sent to the North Road Barrier. Even during wartime, wine is basically It is a rare thing, but the two commanders of the Northern Barrier can still use their reputation as official officials to lure countless drinks from the back of the royal court.
Although this kind of privilege is the rarest, the North Road Barrier also has its own pride. Because there are three routes in the Luzhou Barrier, only the North Road frequently went out of the city to call for battle during the months-long confrontation. There were so many fighting incidents that in a single month, there were more than ten battle reports coming to the royal court. No less than a thousand soldiers and horses of Xu Meng Mansion were injured and killed. Mengfu's Three Routes had the most impressive results, and the two Green-faced Ghosts and Rakshasa Ghosts often led troops to break out of the fortress in person, capturing extremely heavy amounts of captured food, grass, baggage, and even the number of soldiers and horses. Even though Wen Yu had explicitly ordered not to underestimate the enemy and advance rashly, but he had to pass the pass on his own, but since there were frequent military orders, and the three commanders guarding the pass were on equal footing, so even if there was some criticism in the royal court, they had no choice but to let him do this. Money, food, supplies, and even drinks were not neglected in the slightest.
However, the morale of the soldiers at the North Road Barrier has been a little restless recently. From time to time, there are drunken men whipping soldiers, or private fights between two or three people. Even if there are green-faced ghosts who often patrol the camp, they don't know what is forbidden. There is no need to make much guesses. , then we know that it is probably because they have not been to the city for many days to fight fiercely, and because they have nothing else to do, there is no need for soldiers and horses on the North Road to garrison. The Xumeng Mansion seems to know that the North Road is good at fighting, so it frequently retreats, so that it is now at the top of the city. , there was no trace of Xu Meng Mansion's soldiers and horses, and even the original camp was abandoned, with no trace of anyone.
In this way, these soldiers who want to go down to the city to fight all day long are suppressed, and their hearts are floating.
"In my opinion, this war has no beginning and no end. It seems ridiculous that neither place has much chance of victory. Since the battle at Wufeng Mountain, both the Royal Court and Xumeng Mansion seem to have been beaten. His bones were gone and he was so weak that he didn't even dare to strike preemptively. This is something to mention. Wen Shuai didn't do the work of showing off his power. Instead, he thought about things like farming. It would be better to order soldiers. Disarm and return to the fields, what's the use of the farming commander?"
The Rakshasa ghost didn't care about the green-faced ghost on the side, who was holding his breath and concentrating on the terrain map, putting up his feet, but drank in boredom, and then threw the wine jar out of the tent in boredom, with a clear and crisp sound of explosion.
Compared to the Rakshasa ghost, the green-faced ghost has a much better reputation in the North Road Barrier. It is probably because he has a kinder face than the Rakshasa ghost, and he often rewards soldiers, but no one knows what this looks like. He is very honest and honest, and it seems that the fat man who is the most friendly is the one who layouts the entire North Road Barrier. Although he rarely personally leads the troops out of the border, most of them leave it to the more skilled Rakshasa ghosts to make plans behind the scenes. It can be called cruel and ruthless.
"Who gave you the courage to talk about Wen Shuai?"
The green-faced ghost still didn't raise his eyes, and carefully looked at the scroll of mountains and rivers. The scroll, which was originally mounted on a solid cowhide, had been covered with fine lines after being turned over for a long time, and even looked very old, but that They don't know what kind of knowledge the green-faced ghost has in this scroll that never leaves his body.
Since the North Road fell into the hands of the two men, victory has always been guaranteed in battle. In addition to the brave soldiers on the North Road, it was also necessary to add the green-faced ghost to count the successes. It was also based on the green-faced ghost's calculation that Huang Fuchao was most likely to be killed. With no time for him to take care of him, Cai Shi repeatedly sent his men to the city to charge into the battle, winning battles repeatedly. Therefore, even the Rakshasa ghosts who had no control in the past had to be polite to the green-faced ghosts.
"Don't forget one thing. Since you and I are here under orders, we are bound to get benefits. Although Zhengzhang Wangting is not a wealthy family, after all, it is now entrenched in half of the Yuan Dynasty. The benefits are indispensable, but in the end The most important thing is to muddy the waters of the Luzhou Barrier and fish in troubled waters, so that we have not failed that person's instructions. Since Tianqing Pavilion thinks highly of you and me, we need to have an explanation with the Young Pavilion Master. "
The Rakshasa Ghost grunted twice, but still lowered his legs from the desk, "However, this scholar suddenly changed his temper and actually abandoned the North Road without caring about it. If he leads the troops at this time, Guan, attack from the front and back, maybe the main court will take advantage of him, he can use his troops like a god, hehe."
"The matter of leading the troops out of the border is nothing to do in the first place. It is nothing more than trying to gain some face in the royal court for you and me.
In front of him, he had to direct his attention to the North Road. Wen Shuai brought an entire Zhusang Road with him. Needless to say, we are not close to each other inside and outside. You and I have poor family backgrounds. Fortunately, Tianqing Pavilion is here to help. In order to be able to sit in this position firmly, I am afraid that many people in the royal court are very optimistic about Wen Yu now, rather than you and me, so frequently entering and exiting the border is really a helpless move, and it is not a brilliant move at all. "The green-faced ghost finally closed the picture scroll in front of him, glanced at the face of the Rakshasa ghost, and said quite calmly, "There is a popular saying in the world, the good birds are hidden in the bows, and the cunning rabbits are cooked by the running dogs. You must first be good. Bow, do a good job as a dog, that's all. But now, we still have to make this final move, and it still depends on whether Huang Fuchao is a smart person."
A few miles away from the commander's tent, there is a wall on the north road.
The soldiers watching from a high position on the city often have to stare at the Xumeng Mansion military formation in the east for a very long time in a day. They are often trembling with cold wind from high places, and their whole bodies are almost completely devoid of any warmth. Only then can he return to the camp and rest for a while. The disadvantage is that the skin of his hands will be cut with holes and ravines by the Shuofeng knife. The advantage is also on the table, that is, he does not need to go out to charge with other soldiers and horses of the royal court, and No worries about life. Often, this is a trivial job, and it is not the turn of ordinary soldiers to do it. It requires having some relationship with the border guard, or offering some family wealth, or being related by relatives. The other people who come and go are really not so lucky. He can only be an ordinary soldier. Whether he is repairing the city or going out to fight for a living, he has to give up life and death.
After all, the rations for soldiers and horses are the most unpalatable, and being careless about life and death at every turn is considered to be the most common trivial matter during the Dayuan war.
It's just that the soldiers who have been doing this kind of idle duty recently are also full of complaints. It is clear that the front of the Xumeng Mansion has retreated, but there is no clear order to say that there is no need to wait and see, so they have to endure the wind and snow day by day, with their face chapped by the cold, and continue Of course, he was unhappy when he was standing guard at the watchtower at the top of the city, so three or five watchmen gathered together to find something fun to do to pass the time.
Among them, what pleased the soldiers the most was when they saw a bird flying over the mountains below by chance, and knocked the bird down with a stone. Every time one fell, it was regarded as winning a drink from the others. Guarding the observation tower Most of the soldiers had excellent eyesight, but it was innocent birds that suffered. When they flew over the fortress on this cold and snowy day, they never thought that there was such a dangerous plank road and lookout on the top of the mountain shrouded in clouds and mist. His head would be smashed by stones, and he would fall to the top of the city or outside the city that had been frozen for a long time.
"But it's really good. You've only been in office for three days, and you've already won twenty or thirty glasses of wine from our brothers. You need to have a full jar of wine. After all, you're a hunter in the mountains. I said, Little brother, if you teach me how to do it, the drinks you win in the end will be half of it, or maybe 80% of it. How about this? This is a sure-fire business."
The towering plank road was almost straight. There was an annoyed soldier on the plank road. He was very reluctant and slashed the wooden sign in the hand of a young soldier next to him, whose face was red with cold. Even if you owe a glass of wine, if there is any wine to drink in the future, you must pay it back first.
The young soldier grinned from ear to ear and replied, "How can I have any ability? In the hunting industry, I have to train my eyesight to see flying stones. I think back then I used these stones to knock two evil tigers blind, all for this reason." I have developed my mediocre skills by running around for a living. Why did I ask for advice? I was just trying to do something to avoid being nailed to death by the cold wind and heavy snow. I just happened to say this, so I will wait until the drinks are distributed. Just invite a few of you to drink together."
This young soldier is extremely smart. Even though there are a few people at the observation deck who can't match his temper, in just a few days, he has been praised by this young soldier. He also knows how to be self-effacing and neither humble nor arrogant. In this season, words are so comforting to listen to, so I quickly developed some friendship with these guards.
The pawn was born as a hunter, and his ancestors all made a living by hunting in the Great Yuan North. He has developed a lot of skills, especially drawing a bow and setting an arrow, and is especially proficient in watching the wind at night. He is the only capable person among the few who can earn a living based on his ability. Although there is no trouble and war at the moment, he still knows how to behave, and even Yu was quite generous. He took the drinks he had won earlier and gave them back to a few people, which was naturally pleasing to the people.
"Seeing that Xu Meng Mansion's soldiers and horses are retreating, and our north road barrier is so exhausted, wouldn't it be a joke to the other two defenders? If you ask me, if such a strange army is sent out, it will go straight into the hinterland of Xu Meng Mansion, and it will What is that called?
Yan Qiye was awakened by iron hooves from his sleep, and it would be considered a battle to determine the country. But now it is better, there is no war and nothing else to do, and the army has nothing to do. If it continues like this, all money and food will be lost later. Failure to fill in the gaps in the Luzhou Barrier would be an outrage. "
"Would you be happy to switch to the middle road as a barrier and a military garrison all day long? If you don't do the errands of repeatedly winning military achievements and learn from others to farm the fields, you might as well go back to your hometown. I think the middle road also consumes a lot of money and food. However, Wang Ting is partial and ignores the North Road, but cares about the life and death of the Middle Road Barrier. Not long ago, I heard someone say that the Middle Road Barrier is full of food and wine, and it is so comfortable and secure. Unfortunately, it is a pity that it neither dares to go out of the Barrier nor Sending men out of the city to fight will make people angry."
