The war began with a conflict on the border in the southwest, but the reason was that a Qingguo merchant took a fancy to the unique embroidery skills of the Fengguo tribe and offered to buy it, but was rejected by the tribal chief.The merchant did not give up, and asked for an audience three times, each more and more sincerely, but he failed to impress the chief.Just as the merchant was about to come a fourth time, he suddenly disappeared, and two days later was found dead in the wilderness, still clutching a piece of cloth in his hand.Just a piece of cloth naturally can't explain anything, but this cloth is embroidered with the tribe's totem, and this embroidery skill is unique to the tribe.The local yamen invited the tribal chieftain and the Qingguo merchant to accompany him, and ordered the merchant to conduct an autopsy, and the result was that the merchant was poisoned to death, this poison is extremely poisonous, and it will attack as soon as it enters the body, and this poison is a sacred relic of the tribe.At this point, the local yamen was not perfunctory, but just when the chief was willing to accept the inquiry and cooperate with the investigation, he was found dead in the house, and the companions of the Qingguo merchants also disappeared at the same time.Now the matter is big, the tribal warriors want to seek revenge from the peers of the Qingguo merchants, and the families of the Qingguo merchants who rushed to hear the news also want to seek explanations from the tribe.After several conflicts, the contradiction became more and more intense, and the local county commander also died in this conflict, at the same time, the border defense of the Southwest Army found traces of the activities of the green soldiers, sent scouts to investigate, and found that the army was moving to the border and would soon be in the city.Realizing that the situation was not good, the border guards would immediately send a message back to the imperial city, asking for support, and at the same time suppress the local conflict by force, lock up all the families of the tribal warriors and Qingguo merchants, and collect the corpses for the county order.When the "Little Imperial City" gathered troops and prepared to rush to the southwest frontier, the green soldiers had already fought with the southwest soldiers twice, but they did not exert their strength, but only tried to do so.The soldiers of the southwest are stationed at the border all the year round, and the soldiers are all brave, but because the main force went to suppress the bandits some time ago, there are only some new recruits left, and the number of veterans is insufficient, so they can't show it, so they have to choose a conservative style of play.But both sides know that the real engagement will soon begin.The Scorching Sun team went out with the army, but it was responsible for escorting the grain and grass, Shuanglian took the task with a calm face, seeing her like this, the herald who was originally worried that she would not accept it breathed a sigh of relief, but the general who deliberately tested her was a little boring.Niu Ya and the others were unwilling to do this miscellaneous work, but they didn't say anything under the drive of Shuanglian, and carried out the task seriously.At the beginning of the war, the soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, and the Scorching Sun team and other teams responsible for escorting the grain and grass embarked on the road to the southwest frontier when the army was assembled.Under the training of Shuanglian, the Scorching Sun Team has passed the physical fitness, and they don't catch their breath even when they rush overnight, and the speed of transporting grain and grass is the fastest.Therefore, the deputy general who was in charge of escorting the grain and grass sent them to take the first step and transport a batch of materials to the southwest border defense to relieve the pressure on the southwest soldiers.The land in the southwest is barren, the grain output is small, and most of the people rely on the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River to transport grain to alleviate the situation, but when the young soldiers invaded the border, there was a bandit trouble in the south of the Yangtze River, and the grain and grass that were originally going to be transported were robbed, and the main force of the southwest soldiers was to solve this matter.Who expected that the green soldiers would attack, the timing was very accurate, the southwest border defense troops were insufficient, the grain and grass reserves were insufficient, and once the war began, it would fall into a disadvantageous place, so the speed of the Scorching Sun team had to be faster.In order to seize the opportunity, Shuanglian was ruthless, greatly shortened the rest time, and forced the Scorching Sun team to use their potential, which was really used as a horse.Niuya and the others knew that the situation was urgent, and they did not complain, and followed in the footsteps of Shuanglian, protecting the grain and grass.If the weather is sunny and the road is relatively wide, there will be four days to rush to the waterway specially used to transport grain on the southwest frontier, but unfortunately the weather is not beautiful, and the heavy rain falls, and the actions of the Scorching Sun team are affected.The utensils that could be used to shelter from the rain were placed on the grain and grass, and the Scorching Sun team walked for a long time in the heavy rain before finally finding a cave where they could take shelter from the rain and rest.After Shuanglian killed the beast in the cave, the Scorching Sun team was settled, and it happened that the beast meat was delicious, and it was a reward for hard work for days.Niu Ya took over the task of barbecue, which seemed to be bulky, but her skills were very flexible, dozens of skewers of meat were roasted together, and soon everyone was given a skewer of meat and started eating."
This rain is so wonderful" Shuanglian leaned against the stone wall, looked at the heavy rain outside the cave, biting the tender meat, and said."
It's wonderful, it's just that we're slowing down."
Han Gu stood beside Shuanglian and took over.Li Liang couldn't understand what they were saying, looked carefully outside the cave, but didn't see anything, and was about to give up, but he had a flash of inspiration and suddenly smiled.It rarely rains in the southwest, but it is more than ten days in a row, and the rain is widespread, and sometimes it will affect the border of Qingguo, which is really the wind of Fengnan and the rain of Qingguo.Heavy rain falls, slow is not only the pace of escorting grain and grass, but also the pace of Qingguo's attack, such a rainy day, unless the Qingbing brain is pumped, otherwise will never launch an offensive.The southwestern soldiers can also have a little more preparation time in the rainy day to recharge their energy.After the Scorching Sun team finished eating the meat of the beast, the clothes that were baked on the branches were almost dry, so they took off their underwear and put them on the branches to continue baking, and everyone gathered together in soldiers' robes to figure out how to maintain speed on rainy days.But after thinking about it, I couldn't think of a good way, so I didn't force it anymore, waited for the underwear to dry, put it on, and slept in the soldier's robe.Shuanglian was guarding the entrance of the cave, and Han Gu was standing aside, and Yehuo was kneeling on the right side, wiping the blade of the knife.After a while, all three of them closed their eyes, but if they thought they could attack, they would be very wrong.When the movement sounded, Shuanglian immediately waved out the hidden weapon, and when he opened his eyes, it was a monkey who wanted to shelter from the rain, and he couldn't live anymore when he was stabbed into the chest by the hidden weapon.After sweeping his cold eyes and confirming that he was okay, Shuanglian closed his eyes and took a nap.After an hour's rest, the Scorching Sun team returned to the road, but the carriage went wrong, and some of the horses were so tired that they were foaming at the mouth, and they were already lifeless.Shuanglian frowned, and ordered the Scorching Sun team to skin and flesh the dead horses, so as not to waste the last trace of use, and the carriages that could no longer be walked were all destroyed, because she did not allow the slightest hidden danger to be left.In the end, the people divided the grain and grass from the problematic wagon, carried it on their backs, and drove the rest of the ox cart on.Shuanglian carried two big bags of grain, wore a hat, and looked like a fat person from the outside, and they were not much better, they were all bulging, and it was difficult for them to walk so naturally.Heavy rain has been falling, and Shuanglian uses internal force to maximize the perception ability, so as to judge whether there is any deviation in the direction of walking.In this way, the Scorching Sun team stopped and stopped, and in the end, there were only two ox carts left that were still strong, and they were deeply strangled by the ropes that bound the grain, and the spicy taste was really uncomfortable when the rain washed away.But no one complained, and no one quietly threw away some food to relieve their pressure, and they all endured it, just because Shuanglian hadn't fallen yet, and her pace hadn't slowed down.After meditating cross-legged for a while, Shuanglian went out and came back to announce the good news, and in another hour, he would go to the southwest border to guard the waterway for transporting grain.Niuya and the others collectively breathed a sigh of relief, and they had the urge to cry, they always thought that they were already very powerful, and they were veterans who had killed the enemy on the battlefield, and there was nothing to embarrass them.It wasn't until the army went out to be responsible for escorting grain and grass that they knew that they were not as strong as they imagined, and there were many variables in marching and fighting, and it was just raining, if it snowed, the road was frozen for thousands of miles, and when they could support it and not to mention the hardships on the road, just this carriage made them suffer enough, and the burden of walking, it was not so simple, and they really walked, no matter how strong-willed people were, they couldn't help but want to give up.After calming down, Niuya and the others showed a trace of determination on their faces, which was the determination to become stronger and to constantly challenge themselves."
It seems that this trip has gained a lot" Han Gu glanced at the expressions of Niu Ya and the others, holding a leaf in her mouth, raising her eyebrows and smiling.The corners of Shuanglian's mouth are slightly upturned, and she will encounter more problems in the future, and now these are just preludes.After the rest and adjustment, the Scorching Sun team set off again, and when they arrived at the entrance of the waterway, and after verifying their identities with the soldiers in charge of the place, Shuanglian and the others unloaded the food bags they were carrying in the house.The soldiers here were amazed at the speed of the Scorching Sun Squad, and even more surprised at how fast they could maintain despite such a heavy load.Looking at the strangulation marks and the well-protected food bags, the soldier's eyes turned red and he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.Seeing that they all looked haggard but still holding on to their breath and did not dare to relax, the head of the soldiers sighed slightly, and ordered the soldiers below to boil hot water and warm them up.A few small soldiers held back their tears, there was a shortage of water in the southwest, but there was no shortage of water to warm up these female soldiers.After knowing the tragic situation of the Scorching Sun Team from the little soldier's mouth, the male soldiers who didn't care much about it couldn't help but put away their contempt, such a will, I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to pat the horse."
Come, drink hot water and warm your stomach."
After the hot water was boiled, the soldiers sent it to the Scorching Sun team as soon as it was loaded, and it happened that the Scorching Sun team wiped off the water on their bodies and changed their clothes, and the hot water came in time.Niuya was about to open her mouth wide, but stopped when she saw Shuanglian swallowing water in a small sip, and she also learned to drink it in small sips."
There is a shortage of water in the southwest, and this may not be how long it has been stored."
Li Liang explained to Wu Ge in a low voice, Wu Ge was holding the kettle, his mind was complicated, he didn't expect that he would be so emotional, he almost cried.When the head of the soldier came in, he saw the appearance of the scorching sun team drinking water in small sips, his heart moved, he endured the sour impulse, and laughed: "Open to drink, we can still lack your water, today is the time to rush, in normal times, you can take a bath alone."
Don't learn to be so stingy, and it's not embroidering at home" The Scorching Sun team all smiled, or drank in small sips, it was not easy for everyone to save a little:
