After I became a general, I went back to my hometown to farm

Chapter 5

◎When I met Wei Yan, I fell in love with each other at first sight, and the barbarians attacked and defended against the enemy. ◎

As soon as he arrived at the barracks, General Xing was notified.

When he arrived, everyone clasped their fists to salute him.

General Xing waved his hand directly, and said boldly, "Everyone has worked hard, just send all the prey to the kitchen, and I will prepare it for you alone."

Looking at Gu Zeyu again, he said, "I didn't expect you to really catch the deer, boy, it's really good."

The big guys went back to the dormitory after being sent to the kitchen, and they had to rest after going out. Of course, the most important thing was to show off to the brothers who stayed in the barracks.

But Gu Zeyu stayed. He was afraid that the cook would not know how to cook fish, so he specially explained to the cook how to clean the fish. He had to scrape the scales, remove the internal organs, and use ginger to remove the fishy smell.

The cook dubiously used Gu Zeyu's method, and at Gu Zeyu's suggestion, made these fish soup into fish soup. Because there were too many people in the military camp, soup was enough, and eating meat was unrealistic.

An hour later, the chef was overjoyed when he smelled the fish soup getting more and more fragrant. It turns out that the fish can still be so fragrant.

I quickly scooped up a bowl of fish soup and tasted it. It didn't smell fishy at all. The soup was still milky white, very fresh, and the fish had few spines, so it was tender and delicious.

It's quite strange that the thing called wild ginger is so good at removing fishy smell.

The night was getting darker and it was time to eat. The soldiers were all carrying their bowls to make rice. As soon as they got close to the place where the rice was cooked, they could smell the aroma of meat, and everyone was drooling. It was so delicious.

However, I also smelled a special fragrance, which almost pierced into people's nostrils, especially domineering and attractive.

So after eating meat and vegetables, I unknowingly approached the soup-like cooking spot.

Someone asked curiously: "Brother cook, what kind of soup is this? Why is it so fragrant?"

The cook replied: "This soup is fish soup. It's delicious. Would you like a bowl to warm your stomach?"

This person also drank fish soup, which was fishy and unpalatable. He really suffered, but seeing the milky white color and smelling so fragrant, he ordered a bowl of fish soup.

Can't wait to take a sip, it's so fresh and delicious.

Now the fish soup is very popular, how nice it is to have a warm bowl of hot soup after training.

Because the New Year was approaching, there was a conflict between Zhao Kingdom and the Hu people on the border. The Hu people once again plundered the people on the border. In order to rob food, they did all kinds of evil, and even slaughtered people in several villages.

However, the land on the border is already poor, and they can't grow much food. They can only eat and drink by themselves. What's more, because people rob the border from time to time, the villagers can't save much food.

The border residents are very miserable, and those who have connections have moved away from the border long ago.

Now because of another barbarian coming to burn, kill and loot, the people on the border are once again in dire straits, and some people would rather be refugees and beggars than farm land.

The food grown throughout the year is taken away before I have enough to eat. How can I live like this?

All kinds of hard work, self-awareness.

This time Zhaoguo attached great importance to the attack of the Hu people, because this year it was colder than last year, and more cattle and sheep froze to death on the grasslands. The Hu people lacked food, so they were naturally fierce.

There is a good chance that a big war will start.

So the soldiers who had trained for more than a year were naturally sent to the border to defend the security of the border and protect the border residents.

Naturally, Gu Zeyu was also among them. He was not afraid, and was very interested. Now he could see the ancient wars.

For this kind of looting because the barbarians have no food, the ancient Huaxia in the previous life has experienced it many times. Most of the time, it was the Huaxia who drove the invaders away. Even Huo Qubing was able to kill the enemy's lair. Although it is far away, it will be punished.

They are all strong men, and they are willing to sacrifice their lives to protect national security.

Gu Zeyu used to think that this kind of sacrifice was very heroic, fighting for the country, fighting for the family, even though death is an honor.

Now, in order to protect this country that is still a bit unfamiliar, Zhao Kingdom, he must go all out to repel the invaders and never retreat. This is not only the bounden duty of a soldier, but also because he has a sense of belonging to this country. I don't want him to lose the battle and be bullied.

Now his position has reached the position of centurion, which is a very incredible thing, because so far, Gu Zeyu has not been to the battlefield. Excellent, promoted the position without causing any casualties to the soldiers who went with him.

Gu Zeyu doesn't think there's anything wrong with using wisdom to win, it's really stupid to only use force.

Now it is guarded by a city on the border, called Yucheng. Because of its large area, Yucheng is still a border fortress, so the highest officer is the county guard, not the county magistrate.

The county guard of Yucheng is called Wei Tiao, who is already forty years old and is in charge of the administration and military affairs of the city.

He has a son named Wei Yan, who joined the army when he was a teenager. Because of his bravery and strategy, he is now the general of Yucheng.

General Wei Yan was very happy when he received this batch of troops. Only with more troops can we fight.

It was the first time that Gu Zeyu saw this legendary young general who was quite brave. He was not very tall, and he was a little handsome. of.

After more than a year of growth, Gu Zeyu's body has changed drastically, and his height is even more than 1.8 meters. Because of non-stop training, he already has eight-pack abs.

Anyway, at first glance, he is a man who is not easy to mess with. Thanks to his looks, he can get some points, so that he won't be called a fool.

This also made him very eye-catching, because most people in ancient times were not tall, even men who served as soldiers were only 1.7 meters, and most of them were 1.8 meters.

So Wei Yan also saw Gu Zeyu all of a sudden, but he didn't say anything, he just thought that this soldier was quite tall, and seeing him wearing the clothes of the centurion, he thought he was a good soldier.

Later, when I got acquainted with Gu Zeyu, I realized that he was only 17 years old, but he looked a little mature.

Gu Zeyu became acquainted with Wei Yan in the first year in Yucheng. The reason was that General Xing once mentioned a word to Wei Yan's father. Later, Wei Yan noticed this guy and even tried him. He competed in martial arts in private. , the two drew a tie.

At that time Wei Yan also asked him: "Do you think you can beat me?"

Gu Zeyu was not modest, and said, "I can win."

Wei Yan smiled, "So confident?"

Gu Zeyu thought to himself, can I still say that I will lose to you, wouldn't that just increase the ambition of others and destroy my prestige.

Gu Zeyu still has confidence in himself, and he is no longer the same as he was when he competed with General Xing back then.

He has recovered to 17% of the level of his previous life. Although his body is only [-] years old, he has rich experience.

The two have different paths and are good at different things.

Gu Zeyu is good at close combat. It is the way of military science in his previous life. It is a fighting system cultivated by people's wisdom for thousands of years; while Wei Yan learned martial arts from a martial arts master since childhood. Practicing the three volts and three nines in winter has laid a solid foundation. He is good at using guns, swords, and a class of iron weapons.

It is really hard for these two people to guess who will win and who will lose against their sugar-making team. However, both of them have confidence in themselves.

After some competition, the two were actually tied. When it was over, both of them were out of breath. It was obvious that they had exhausted their energy.

Now Wei Yan was a little unconvinced, and wanted to compare again, "No, let's do it again."

But Gu Zeyu didn't want to compare, he smiled and said: "Actually, you are better, I just have more experience than you, and I am more advanced in mathematics."

Wei Yan was surprised when he heard this, and said: "You are younger than me, and you even say you have more experience than me. Even if it's an excuse, don't make such an excuse."

On the other hand, Gu Zeyu smiled, stood up straight and was about to leave. When he left, he cupped his fists and said, "Then you can just treat it as an excuse I made up. It's almost dinner time, and I have to go back. Otherwise, we Those bastards in the camp don’t know if they will give me food or not.”

Seeing what he said, Wei Yan couldn't help it, but still teased, "Eating is so important. You are an officer, how dare they not leave you a meal."

Gu Zeyu had already walked a few steps away, without looking back, he waved his hand and said, "The brothers in the camp probably thought I had eaten outside."

Gu Zeyu said this because during the year he came to Yucheng, he had the opportunity to go out for a walk besides all kinds of battles and wits with the barbarians. Sometimes the barbarians didn't come, and these soldiers could still go out to watch the wind. Once you go out, you will naturally go out to have a meal and improve the food.

When Gu Zeyu returned to the camp, he didn't have any appetite, so he ate a steamed bun and went to guard the city wall.

One day in May, Gu Zeyu went to the city wall again to inspect to see if there was any enemy. He was just a routine inspection, because it was May, the grasslands of the Hu people were still green, there was plenty of food for cattle, horses and sheep, and there were some merchants Not afraid of death, go to the grassland to sell some silk cloth from Zhao Kingdom, as well as tea and other things, and return some furs, cattle and sheep.

Unexpectedly, he saw that there seemed to be a barbarian moving in the original place with sharp eyes. He immediately took out the small telescope that he found someone to make a few days ago from his arms, and looked into the distance. The dense crowd was moving in the direction of Yucheng. , Judging by the clothes, it is the Hu people's army.

He hurriedly asked General Wei Yan to inform him that he saw the barbarians attacking.

After hearing this, the soldiers nervously went to look for General Wei, not daring to delay for a moment.

Gu Zeyu also had someone blow the horn to defend against the enemy, telling the soldiers on the city wall to be alert and prepare to defend against the enemy.

At this time, Wei Yan had already climbed the city wall, saw Gu Zeyu looking into the distance, patted him on the shoulder, and asked, "Why did you get someone to notify me of the barbarians' attack?" In the distance, you can look around, it's empty, and you can't see anyone.

Seeing this, Gu Zeyu took out his small binoculars and said, "Use this to see if you can see it."

Wei Yan looked at this strange thing and asked, "What is it, and how does it work." It was an unknown material that could be held with one hand, and there was a round glass-like thing on each side.

He subconsciously put it on his eyes and tried it, but he didn't expect to be able to see the scenery in the distance. He was really a barbarian. He saw it, and he was very clear. He could even see the big man in the lead with a very long beard and wearing royal blue. clothes.
