One year passes with the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu, and another new year comes in the blink of an eye.
Amid the sound of firecrackers in Jiuyuan County, Xiliang opens a new chapter.
All the people in Jiuyuan County are immersed in the joy of the New Year. Even those families whose people died on the battlefield cannot be resurrected, especially when they know that those people joined the Xiliang Army, they have already made preparations
Mental preparation.
In such a world, they know very well how dangerous a profession it is to be a soldier, but no one can refuse the various rewards provided by Xiliang, and no one can refuse the pension announced by Xiliang.
Many people had already married before going to the battlefield and had left offspring for themselves, and most of them had brothers and sisters, and they were not afraid that after they died, their parents would have no one to look after their children or raise them.
Of course, they don't need to worry about this. They died fighting for Xiliang, and Xiliang will naturally not ignore their families.
All their temporary pensions and accumulated military achievements will be converted into money, which will flow to their families, and Xiliang will also supervise it, because half of the money belongs to their children, so their family can only use half of it.
of silver, and the remaining half of the silver will be handed over to his children when they grow up.
This is so that these soldiers have no worries, and their families will also receive preferential treatment from the Xiliang government, and they will be the first to think of any good things.
In this way, these soldiers will have no worries on the battlefield and can serve Xiliang without hesitation.
In the most luxurious courtyard in Jiuyuan County, Li Xiang summoned all his friends to celebrate the New Year together in this large courtyard.
Of all the good friends, in fact, only Zhang Qingyun is a good friend, and the rest are his relatives or his wife's relatives, or the major generals of the Xiliang headquarters and Li Yi.
In addition to his wife's family, only Zhang Qingyun, who is not from Xiliang and not his relatives, can go to this courtyard to celebrate the New Year.
There is only one day of the year where families can reunite. Li Xiang had already issued an order before everyone arrived. No one was allowed to talk about work-related matters tonight.
Let’s wait until after the Chinese New Year to discuss work matters. There’s no rush for such a day anyway.
So everyone in the courtyard was either drinking or chatting. There was no seriousness like when working, and everyone felt very relaxed.
This is the one day of the year when they can let down their guard, but for the defenders of Jiuyuan County, tonight they are the patron saints of the city.
It is precisely because of their presence in the city that people can revel in wanton ways, drink alcohol without any care, without the slightest bit of vigilance, and with endless joy.
Every household was enjoying the New Year, but only those on the city wall still endured the cold wind, but they did not complain at all. Even if the cold wind howled outside and the biting wind blew on their faces, it only made them feel a little cold.
Any set of weapons and equipment they carry can be sold for more than a hundred taels of silver when sold outside. Wearing this equipment, the icy cold wind cannot affect them.
And apart from not being able to drink during the Chinese New Year today, they can eat everything they should. The rest stop not far away is filled with all kinds of delicious food.
But after the people outside patrol, they can go in to eat, drink, and rest, and another group of people will patrol, so that they won't feel too tired.
At the same time, there are such soldiers everywhere in Xiliang, especially those at the junction with other forces. They basically changed the entire camp in three batches.
No one can drink during such a festival, but they can drink at any time, and they are not in a hurry.
Everyone knows on which day Eastern humans will celebrate the New Year. This day is very dangerous for humans in the Eastern world. During the Chinese New Year, they will drink a lot of alcohol, and the combat effectiveness of drunk people will drop sharply.
Therefore, those monsters, monsters and things with bad intentions will take advantage of the Spring Festival, when people are drunk, to accomplish their goals.
Therefore, these soldiers guarding various places are very important. Not only the Xiliang soldiers, but all major forces in the Eastern world have sent a large number of soldiers to guard.
Even the most stupid people will set up heavy troops on the city walls and some important places on this day. This is the day when all kinds of monsters, monsters and things with bad intentions are most likely to appear.
Li Jin is far away in the Western Continent. At this time, there is also heavy snowfall in the Western Continent. The Far East City is also decorated with lights. All humans in the Eastern World are in the midst of the festival. People in the Western World are looking at the city built by Xiliang.
Every major city is full of festive elements.
They have held major events in the Western world, but compared to those in the Eastern world, they seem a bit petty, because they can only hold events in one place or within their own families.
But in the cities in the Eastern world, the entire city was immersed in joy. They could see the joy coming from the soldiers, and they could also see the city changing with the arrival of this festival.
Some people who know something about the Eastern world know that this is the biggest festival in the Eastern world. The Spring Festival is here, and it can also be called the Chinese New Year.
Many businessmen who have been to the Eastern World have already prepared a large amount of supplies to transport to these cities, because when they were in the Eastern World, they saw how arrogant the people in the Eastern World were during this festival.
On weekdays, it seems that one or two very poor people will take out the money they have saved for a year on this day, and then go shopping like crazy, buying all kinds of things.
As for these soldiers stationed in the Western World, no one knows how much money they have, but based on the treatment of Xiliang soldiers, the rewards they can receive must be very large.
"We must be vigilant!" Li Jin said to several important generals: "We are celebrating the second Spring Festival, and the foreign races around us must know our habits.
If they want to attack our resource points and cities, then today is their best choice, because many of our soldiers will be immersed in drinks.
Even though there are still many soldiers patrolling outside."
Li Jin has been in the Western world for a long time. He has some understanding of the thinking of people in the Western world. Don't think that these people are sheep without threats. When you are strong, these people are sheep, but you only
Need to show some flaws.
They will turn into wolves, open their big mouths and rush towards your weakest point. Southwest is now like a powerful giant beast, but for some reasons, most of the power in the body has been lost.
How could these Western aliens who looked like sheep let go of this opportunity? Last year when they celebrated the New Year, these aliens made a lot of noise. However, because they were not fully prepared at the time, they did not cause much harm to Xiliang.
loss.
But this year they must have been prepared, so Li Jin had already prepared things and was waiting for these creatures from the Western world to come.
"Marshal, don't worry, we know that this matter is related to the safety of our Xiliang Army in the Western World." A man with an Eastern World face who is much shorter than the generals here said: "Our Eighth Army
We are not good at attacking, but we are not weaker than you in defense!"
Yes, in the Western World there are not only soldiers from Xiliang headquarters, but also soldiers from the Eighth Legion. These Eighth Legion soldiers followed the caravans to the Western World.
When they came to the Western World, they were left here by Li Jinqiang. Li Jin had already written to Prime Minister Li to explain that these Eighth Legion soldiers who originally planned to follow the caravan back to the Eastern World had no choice but to follow.
As the marshal from Xiliang headquarters, Marshal Li Jin fought together in the Western world.
At the beginning, the soldiers of the Eighth Army were still very resistant to Li Jin, but after they harvested the gold, silver and jewelry from the Western world, they had no resistance to the gifts, but only endless admiration.
Following Li Jin in the West, in just one month, the value of the things they obtained can be worth their three months of military pay in the Eastern World. In addition to these trophies, they will also get Xiliang
The military pay provided by the headquarters.
Therefore, in their minds, the Western world is no longer a dangerous place, but a place where they can become rich as long as they stay here long enough or get enough things.
After they return to the Eastern World, they can convert the things inside into silver, and then use it to buy various genius lands, which can be used by themselves or their children.
But they prefer to use it for their own children!
Li Jin nodded with satisfaction: "It's good that you understand, but you have already relaxed appropriately. If you are tense the whole time, I'm afraid those people won't dare to jump out."
The man smiled and said: "The outside is loose and the inside is tight. Today I specially opened the door of our Eighth Army's warehouse, letting many people see the mountains of jewelry and gold coins piled in the warehouse. There are so many good things over there.
I don’t believe, will those people come?”
"Those jewels and gold coins, just pick them up, can keep them in a wealthy state for a lifetime, so they will definitely take risks, and they are not the only one!"
“I implemented the rough plan as we made it at that time, but after taking into account the local environment, I changed some things!
Before dawn, we can ask our men to walk to the lounge appropriately as if they are about to rest. That time is the sleepiest time of the day.
If those people want to take action, they will definitely choose that time period to come!"
"Well, I can rest assured that you are doing your job!" Li Jin patted the man on the shoulder: "If something goes wrong, send a signal for help immediately, and all Xiliang headquarters soldiers will be on standby at any time.
Don't bear the enemy's attack because the arrival of Xiliang soldiers will take away some of your military merits. It makes no difference to Xiliang soldiers whether they have military merits or not. Their military pay and supplies are all released uniformly, from Xiliang headquarters
There is no need to fight for it like you do when it is given there.
So if something happens, send a distress signal as soon as possible, do you understand?"
"Hehe," the man lowered his head and laughed twice in embarrassment, and then said hurriedly: "I will understand."
Before being exposed by Li Jin, he really wanted to cover it up immediately if something happened and let his soldiers do it. However, if he really did this, his men would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
The creatures in the Western world are not that simple. Although they are not as strong as the trained warriors, they are not weak in terms of physical fitness.
Especially orcs, a powerful orc can even fight with a trained warrior.
In addition to the orcs, there are also all kinds of terrifying monsters. Some monsters are tens of meters tall, just like the ferocious beasts in the north of Xiliang, but these monsters are not as powerful as the ferocious beasts.
Because there is no obvious evil spirit on them, while those ferocious beasts in the Eastern world are surrounded by fierce evil energy, and ordinary people will die if they encounter them.
These monsters are more like monsters, and when they practice to a certain level, they can transform into humans, so they can also be called monsters.
"The remaining generals will act according to the previous plan." The generals of Xiliang headquarters no longer need Li Jin to say anything. Regardless of whether there are enemies or not, they are the most serious people in the camp and on the city wall.
So there is no need for him to remind me.
Humans in the Eastern world are celebrating the Spring Festival, while the orcs in the Western world, as well as some strange, demon-like creatures, are hiding in a dense primeval forest with the orcs.
One was more than six meters tall, with a pair of horns on his head. He was casually covered in sackcloth and had a huge ax stuck in the ground.
A fox man with a fox tail said to the tauren: "Sir, the number of guards in the eastern city is more than double that of usual. The smell of wine is everywhere in the city, and the strong aroma of wine can also be smelled around the military camp.
." As he spoke, the fox man couldn't help but swallowed: "Those wines are delicious, they are all wines that can only be purchased with money, and there are all kinds of meaty aromas.
The younger one even saw several soldiers staggering around because they were drunk!"
"I have told you a long time ago that today is the most solemn festival for the Orientals, so they will get very drunk, and this is your best chance to break up their city.
Once you miss today, you will have to wait until next year!"
The demon with dark red skin and a pair of bat wings said to the tall tauren: "If you can't make a decision, then we have to leave first!"
As the demons were about to leave, the tauren relaxed his frown, looked at the demons and said, "I will trust you just once, fight!"
