bantayden Chapter 228
Chapter 228
The Wei state of Suzhou bordered the Xiongnu dynasty, which was composed of nomadic peoples.
The Xiongnu were good at riding and shooting, often harassing the people at the border gates, burning and looting.
And from Suzhou to the hinterland of the Wei Kingdom, there is no natural danger such as Feng Guan Longcheng along the way.
Once the Xiongnu army invaded with the strength of the country, it could easily directly attack the yellow dragon.
As a last resort, the Wei state spent huge amounts of financial, material, and human resources to build the Great Wall of Xileisai, which stretched for nearly thousands of miles from east to west.
Seventeenth year of Voling, December twenty-six.
Early morning.
The loess city under the closed jade gate resounded with shouts and drills.
After Han Xiangbone and Wei Chu followed the veterans to fight two sets of military body boxing, they ran around the city for seven or eight laps in the morning.
After eating the soup and corn porridge, the two were assigned to Qiliansai by the chief.
The endless desert is magnificent and majestic.
Wearing armor, carrying bows and arrows on their backs, holding a spear in one hand, and a steel knife hanging from their waist, Han Xiangguan and Wei Chu climbed the Yumen Pass City Wall.
Squint into the distance.
In the wind and sand, there is a red sun hanging in the sky.
The horizon was red, as if a basin of blood had been splashed, and there was a hint of enchantment in the desolation.
If it weren’t for the red sun in the east, Han Xiangbone and Wei Chu would still think that the sun was setting in the west.
The two hit the road.
Like two ants, crawling on the back of the winding earth dragon.
Straight to the third pole of the sun, the wind stopped, the sand fell, and the sky was blue and transparent, and then arrived at Qiliansai.
After handing over to the two veterans guarding Qi Liansai, Han Xianggu and Wei Chu entered the beacon tower.
In fact, the responsibilities of the two are very simple.
That’s to climb high and look far ahead.
As soon as the Xiongnu cavalry was found to be invading, they immediately lit a beacon and notified the left and right obstacles.
Under the beacon there was wolf dung, firewood and grass.
Dotting wolf droppings during the day.
Because wolf feces can produce billowing columns of smoke, which soar into the sky and do not disperse.
Light firewood at night.
The flames are roaring, and they can be clearly seen within a hundred miles.
–
Twelve o’clock a day, two shifts.
Six hours per shift, three hours per person.
Wei Chu first station.
Han Xiangbone hugged a pile of hay and spread it on the city wall.
Then he took off his helmet and lay down.
With his head in his hands and a stick of grass in his mouth, he quietly looked at the blue sky above his head that looked like sticky oil paint.
Wei Chu: “It’ll be Chinese New Year’s Eve in four more days.”
Han Xiangbone: “There are still two years to go back.”
Wei Chu: “I am not destined to be by my wife’s side this year.”
Han Xiangbone: “I never expected anything Mid-Autumn Festival or Chinese New Year’s Eve.”
Wei Chu: “Brother Han, you don’t understand, with your family by your side, even if you are in hell, your heart will be very satisfied and fulfilling.” ”
On the first day of guarding the barrier, Wei Chu poured beans from the bamboo tube, and chattered a lot with Han Xiangbone.
“Wei Yannu, what about the names my wife gave to our two daughters?”
Han Xiangbone: “My sister-in-law has a book of poetry in her belly.”
Wei Chu’s nostrils turned to the sky, “Of course, my lady is a fallen aristocratic lady.
“If I can marry a lady, the ancestral tomb of my Wei family will rise from a thousand eight hundred zhang.”
Before you know it, night falls.
Han Xianggu and Wei Chu, whose temperature plummeted, did not dare to light a fire to keep warm.
After all, the beacon is too sensitive to smoke and fire.
The desert sand is like snow, and the Yanshan moon is like a hook.
Han Xiangguo and Wei Chu squatted in the beacon tower, nibbling on the nest head that was harder than a stone, while observing the outside through the observation window from time to time.
Wei Chu sniffled fiercely, raised his hand to wipe off the transparent snot with his sleeve.
“What the hell is this weather, the chill is like a knife.”
Even the Han Xiang bones of the Martial Arts Five Grades Realm were shivering with cold.
Such a harsh environment, only the inner refining martial artist who is pregnant with a breath of chest can not be afraid.
The head of the nest is difficult to swallow, and the throat is straight.
Han Xiangbone picked up the water bladder and took a sip of water.
The sparks in the body seemed to be engulfed by the turbulent glacial water in an instant.
The boy struck a fierce spirit.
——
Han Xianggu never thought that his martial arts cultivation self would fall before Wei Chu.
In the eighteenth year of Fuling, the first day of the first lunar month.
The first time Han Xiangku opened his eyes, he only felt that the heavens and the earth around him were spinning.
The body fluttered as lightly as a fallen leaf.
The head seems to be filled with 100,000 pounds of silt.
Walking wobbly, backwards.
“Oh hey, my lord, lie down and rest.”
Wei Chu brought hot porridge.
To be precise, there are a few grains of corn sinking under the hot water.
The man broke the head of the nest, soaked it in hot porridge, and fed Han Xiangbone to drink it one by one.
“This is infected with wind chill, if you don’t do it, it will kill people!”
The next day, Wei Chu also caught two gray-haired rats from nowhere.
Ask grandpa to tell grandma to borrow the stove, chop the mouse into small pieces, boil it into soup, and feed the unconscious Han Xiangbone to drink.
The body and bones were hot for a while, as if they were in a hot day.
After a while, it was cold as if soaking in a glacier.
In a daze, Han Xiangbone saw the smiling faces of his grandparents in a trance.
It was not until the seventh day of the first lunar month that the boy carried this calamity.
——
Han Xiangbone is just right, and Wei Chu can’t do it again.
Men are also infected with wind chills.
Sometimes sober, sometimes confused.
The body is obviously hot and can fry eggs, but the man is wrapped tightly in the quilt and trembles violently.
“Brother Han, am I going to die?”
“I can’t die! I haven’t seen my wife and Yannu for the last time!”
“No, no, no, I’m going up, I’m going home, I can’t die here.”
“Oh, Brother Han, I’m really going to die!”
“For the sake of the old brother serving you for several days, Brother Han, my wife and Yannu will please you!”
Wei Chu snorted and tears, and offered his daughter to Han Xiang’s wife.
–
The twenty-first day of the first month.
The desert scenery seems to be splashed with the thickest and most viscous colors, and there is a roughness everywhere.
Qiliansai City Wall.
Snap.
Wei Chu slapped an ant to death with his palm.
Immediately, he quickly rolled up the ant corpse and stuffed it into his mouth.
“Old Han, thank you.”
After serving each other’s feces and urine, Wei Chu no longer called Han Xiangguo Han Brother.
Han Xiangbone is no longer called Brother Wei Chuwei.
They call each other Lao Han and Lao Wei.
At this moment, Wei Chu was sitting on the hay, while Han Xiangbone was squinting his slender eyes, wary of the wind and grass outside.
Although Wei Chu was cold, the soles of his feet were inexplicably swollen for some reason, as if they were scalded by boiling water, and they were stinging like needles when they walked.
To this end, Han Xianggu will be responsible for the work of guarding alone, so that Wei Chu can rest and recuperate.
Six hours a day, my eyes were sour.
“Let’s make friends with each other’s troubles and urine, say thank you and see the outside.”
Han Xiangku understood why there were so many records in the history books that the generals led his corporal to fall against the Geben Dynasty.
I understand why so many pawns would rather carry the name of rebellion and leave a stench for 10,000 years, and would rather abandon their families and friends, regardless of the life and death of their relatives, but also swear to follow the general.
Carrying guns together, standing guard together, carrying feces and urine, the affliction of life and death is sometimes higher than the feelings of relatives and friends.
It is by no means comparable to the relationship between the emperor and the soldiers.
