When the sky dawned, Hua Gou swallowed the dream saliva in his mouth and blinked his eyes when he woke up. He stole a lazy sleep, looked around, and rolled his eyes to look listless.
"Hey, madman, the night watchman didn't come at midnight last night?"
"not coming."
"Huh? This is strange. Normally there is one patrol in the first half of the night and one in the second half of the night. Why is it one less patrol?" It has been two years since Hua Gou came to Yubei Mountain Fortress, and this is the first time he has encountered a situation where one patrol is missing. He was confused.
But as a soldier, he couldn't figure out the reasons for these things.
Zhang Yan shook his head and said that he didn't know. He didn't even sleep all night, and he had fought hard for a while. At this time, he really couldn't bear it any longer, and the fight was so severe that his eyelids were fighting.
"Forget it, it's better if you don't come on night patrol. I can take a nap every day. Hey, don't squint. I'll change my post after breakfast is served. Go down and sleep again, so as not to be caught by the officials again.
Let me whip you."
Huagou patted Zhang Yan's back hard, with a loud thud, almost knocking Zhang Yan out of breath, but Zhang Yan's drowsiness seemed to have subsided.
Not long after, groups of auxiliary soldiers carrying barrels, bowls and ladles came up from under the city wall, bringing breakfast to the soldiers on night duty.
A bowl of thick porridge, a large and thick noodle pancake, two pickles as thick and long as a little finger, and a piece of dried meat as wide as two fingers.
"Eh? Why is there still dried meat? Isn't it sent to the wrong place?" Although the flower dog is greedy for the dried meat, he doesn't dare to eat it randomly. The rules in the army are very strict, and if you don't pay attention, you will be whipped lightly.
Yes, and it's not worth it for such a trivial matter.
Hua Gou is an old man on the front line of the army. The auxiliary soldiers cannot offend him, and most of them are familiar with him. So when Hua Gou was confused, he quickly replied: "Brother Li, this dried meat was brought back from the supply camp last night.
There are so many different kinds of things this time. There will also be pickled elbows for lunch!"
"What? You all have pickled elbows? Darling! When did those gentlemen in the supply camp become so capable?" Hua Gou swallowed subconsciously. It is not easy to preserve food in the border army. You don't have to think about fresh meat. All meats
It is either smoked or pickled. Although it does not have the taste of fresh meat, it has a unique flavor when pickled properly, especially the pickled elbow, which is a delicacy that flower dogs often dream about.
Has it been half a year or a year? Hua Gou can’t even remember how long it’s been since those losers in the baggage camp got hard goods like pickled elbows.
The auxiliary soldier looked around, then leaned closer and whispered: "Brother Li doesn't know something. Last night, General Manager Chen in the transport camp was replaced and a new one came. General Manager Chen left the fortress early this morning. Listen.
He said that there was a lot of excitement in the General's Mansion last night, and it seems that it hasn't stopped recently."
"President Chen has been dismissed? Tsk tsk, hehe. Okay, you go and get busy." Hua Gou and the other party smiled at each other and didn't say much. We are all old-fashioned and just tacitly understood everything.
Not to the point.
"Brother? What's wrong?"
"Hey, I'm afraid the fortress is going to change recently!"
"Um?"
"It's okay, let's eat. After eating, we can take a rest. Maybe there will be work to do again in the afternoon." Hua Gou didn't explain to Zhang Yanduo. He picked up his own small wooden basin and took a mouthful of porridge and a bite of pancake.
Quickly, he picked up the dried meat and put it in his arms instead of eating it together.
After breakfast and waiting for almost a cup of tea, the soldiers on duty came up. Zhang Yan lined up with his spear and began to change his defense. When he returned to the camp, he briefly cleaned the blood on his body and then poured it on his own
He fell asleep immediately on the bunk, and in the blink of an eye, snoring broke out in the tent.
After sleeping for three hours, Zhang Yan was woken up by his companions. He blinked and looked around, and found that most of the people in the tent had already gotten up. Some of the bunks were already empty, and the people must have gone out.
"Get up quickly, move around, and poop clean. It's time to eat. It's time to go up the city wall again later."
Hua Gou was still greeting Zhang Yan. Because Zhang Yan was assigned to Hua Gou's group when he came. Hua Gou was the group leader and had to look after his five or six men in everything.
"Huh? There's meat?!" After Zhang Yan took care of his own affairs, he rushed to the place where the rice was placed and took the rice basin. He saw pieces of meat in the dry rice, which mixed with the vegetable leaves and exuded an alluring aroma.
.
"Hey, pickled elbows, but also deboned, pay attention!" Hua Gou squatted next to Zhang Yan with a rice bowl. He liked this criminal soldier better. Although he was crazy sometimes, he grew up very quickly after entering the battle.
His experience shows that this madman can live a long time, and if he cultivates a relationship, he may be able to save his life in the future.
"Brother, do you know where I can get cinnabar?"
"Cinnabar? I don't know, maybe there is some in the supply camp. What do you want that thing for?"
"Hey, I want to draw a safe sign. Please live for two more days." Zhang Yan has been thinking about drawing talisman since he woke up. The first choice is naturally cinnabar and yellow paper. Ask first if he can get it. If not, he will think of another way.
"Peace cards? Are the peace cards over there painted with cinnabar? In this case, I will take the time to ask you, and if there are any, I can help you get some."
"Hey, thank you, bro."
"Don't be too busy thanking me. You'll know if it's okay after you ask. By the way, don't just ignore your safety card. Didn't you find anything different when you woke up?" HuaGou was scratching his head.
While eating his meal, he asked Zhang Yan vaguely.
"Brother, what do you mean? How can it be different?"
"Here, look over there."
Following the direction of Huagou's finger, Zhang Yan raised his head slightly and saw the fortress flag erected. This...isn't this the same as before...wait a minute, this flag seems wrong!
"Ah? Change, change the general's flag?!" Zhang Yan finally saw something was wrong. In the past, there was a character "Liu" on the flag, which represented "Liu Wen", the supreme commander of Yubei Mountain Fortress. Now the flag is
Although the style has not changed, the characters on it have changed to the character "Song".
"Yes, General Liu has returned to the Imperial City in the morning to resume his duties. Now the person in charge of the Yubei Mountain Fortress is General Song Qinghe. This is the military report that came from the peak when you were still very sleepy. But don't worry,
This time only the top few here will be moved, so small soldiers like us will not be affected. However, General Song has brought a lot of supplies this time, so we can eat with him for a while."
As Zhang Yan listened, he understood in his heart that the changes in the fortress would not have any impact on low-level shrimps like them, but they had no way to change it and could only accept it.
In addition, Zhang Yan couldn't help but look down at the carefree dog next to him. The dog had muttered "The sky is going to change" in the morning before. He must have guessed the change of generals in advance. It seems that the other party will never
As crude as he looks on the outside, his mind is quite lively.
