Chapter 7
Coincidentally, Wei Lin and his party happened to catch up with the last day of conscription, and the four of them found the most dilapidated inn to deal with for a night. On the second day, according to what the yamen servant said, they were in the south of Yanzhou City, with other Recruits gather.
Outside the city gate, a large shed was temporarily set up, and a wooden board was erected beside it, which read: Gathering Place for Southern Army Recruits.
"This is it." Jia Da spoke first, and Wei Lin glanced at him: "You are the only one with eyes? Why do you like to steal the spotlight so much?"
"I was wrong I was wrong..."
There were quite a few people standing sparsely near the shed. Everyone was clustered together. In the middle of the shed sat two men in armor. They were clearly in charge of conscription. Jiang ignored the three people next to him—since Jia Dajia After Er joined, he felt like a 35-year-old middle-aged man who was widowed and left three mentally disabled children for him to take care of.He walked straight towards the man in armor: "We are here to apply..." "Go over there and wait." The armored man waved his hand impatiently, interrupting his words directly.Jiang Ye's violent temper was a bit unbearable, Wei Lin grabbed Jiang Ye's hand from behind and pulled it back.Jiang also didn't pay attention, and was dragged out by Wei Lin.Wei Lin whispered in his ear: "Don't make trouble, it might be our boss in the future."
"Hmph." Jiang also vented his frustration through his nasal cavity.
Jia Da and Jia Er followed behind. The two of them didn't know what to talk about, and Jiang was not interested in listening, because Wei Lin was talking in his ear all the time.
"How many people do you think are here?"
"Hey, when do you think we can get the military uniforms? No bragging, our military uniforms are still pretty."
"What do you think? Look at those two in military uniforms, don't they look good?"
"Why don't you talk, my dear~"
Jiang also felt that one head and two were big, his head was buzzing and hurt by Wei Lin's noise, and then he couldn't help yelling at Wei Lin: "You are so annoying here, can you be quiet for a while? ?”
This roar was so loud that those standing around, who might be future comrades in arms, suddenly shut their mouths and looked at where Jiang Ye and Wei Lin were standing.
The atmosphere suddenly became very strange.
About a hundred people stood by the side of the shed, and they were extremely quiet for a moment, looking at Jiang Ye and Wei Lin at the same time.Even an invulnerable person like Wei Lin was so embarrassed that he suffocated.
It was Jia Er who spoke suddenly, breaking the weird atmosphere: "I'm most afraid that the air will suddenly be quiet..."
Jia Er's words didn't cause much reaction, but Jia Da who was standing next to him burst out laughing, "Hahahaha."
The atmosphere returned to normal, and the people around started chatting again. Jiang also glared at Jia Da and asked, "Is it funny?"
"It's funny, hahaha." Jia Da obviously hasn't turned his head around yet.
"I find it very funny," Jiang Ye said.
"Uh..." Jia Da looked at Jiang Ye's face, which was obviously covered with dark clouds. Even people who don't know how to read words and expressions should understand that Jiang Ye's mood was made worse by the episode just now, "It's not funny, Brother Jiang, Not funny."
Jiang also wanted to scold him a few words. Who knew that there was a man in armor walking out of the city gate. He seemed to have a different temperament from the two before. Even the style of the armor was different, but the distance was a bit far away. Everyone can't see clearly.But the two soldiers in the shed who had been squatting like [-] people hurriedly got up and walked towards the man at this moment. They bent slightly and walked quickly, passing Jiang Ye and Wei Lin, in a somewhat wretched posture.
Wei Lin whispered to Jiang Ye, "Do you feel like two monkeys?"
Hearing this, Jiang Ye burst out laughing.Wei Lin didn't feel it until he said it, but when he said it, Jiang Ye looked at it again, and it really looked like two monkeys.
Those two people walked behind the newcomer, followed him into the crowd, and reported the situation as they walked: "Vice General Min, 140 people have arrived from Yanzhou."
"Is the count clear?"
"Count it clearly, count it clearly, and count it several times."
"What does the government office say?"
"According to the court rules, there are 120 people who applied for the recruitment, and 79 people who joined the army spontaneously, a total of 200 people, but now only 140 people have arrived."
"It's time for departure soon, don't wait, count the personnel and register, and let the government deal with all escapees according to the rules."
"Yes!"
That Deputy General Min went to the shed and sat down at the resting place of the two soldiers before, one of them immediately served tea, while the other stood in front of the shed and shouted loudly: "Those whose names are called come out and line up in four rows." , Do you hear me clearly?"
The crowd responded sparsely: "I heard..."
Some of them answered passionately: "I heard it!" Wei Lin's ears were almost deaf, and this passionate answer came from Jia Da, who stood beside Wei Lin again. "Keep your voice down!" Wei Lin slapped Jia Da on the head.
"Yes Yes Yes……"
"Zhang Si! Liu Qi! Wang Wu!"
Although everyone looked lazy and unenthusiastic, the four lines lined up unhurriedly.The four of Jiang Ye went to the government office to apply together, so the four of them lined up together.
"set off!"
"There are still some people, don't you wait?" The little soldier confirmed again.
"Don't wait, let's go!" Deputy General Min gave an order, and the [-]-man brigade set off for Hanzhou.
Jiang Ye didn't say a word, and more than a hundred people walked together, but they didn't feel too cold, and Jiang Ye was sweating a little because he kept walking.
Wei Lin and Jia Da Jia Er were very used to this environment full of strangers, chatting with the people next to them without saying a word.Although everyone lined up, just like when they gathered in the shed before, they dispersed as they walked, covering the road all over the place, chatting with friends or strangers as they walked, looking different. It's like going to join the army, but it's like going on an outing.
Here, Jia Da and Jia Er are chatting with the people next to them.
"What do you do at home?"
"My family is a farmer, alas, I didn't want to farm at first, but in the end forced conscription, it's better than farming."
"How can it be? What if you become a soldier and you become prosperous?"
"Hey, do you still want to prosper? I think it will be enough if you can save your life."
"Are you married yet?"
"Married, my daughter-in-law cried to death before she left."
"I'm envious, there is a daughter-in-law, and the single dog is crying."
Over there, Wei Lin was teasing someone he just met.
"Where are you from?"
"I'm from Shangzhou, does Shangzhou know?"
"Where is Shangzhou?"
"A native of Jiangling, Shangzhou, does Jiangling know?"
"do not know."
"It's just to the west, the upper part of Shangzhou."
"Still don't know."
"Oh forget it, where are you from?"
"I am Yanzhou."
"Oh, too."
"That friend of yours is so indifferent..."
"Tell him." Wei Lin gestured with his chin to Jiang Ye who was walking ahead.
"Yes." The person who had been chatting with him nodded.
This person is called Lin Leftover, and he came alone, without any friends, and chatted with Wei Lin all the way.
"Oh, he's dumb." Wei Lin whispered to Lin Leftover.
Unexpectedly, Jiang heard everything in his ears, and turned around and scolded Wei Lin: "Fuck your mother, you are dumb."
"Hee hee, just kidding, why don't you have a sense of humor?"
"I'll say it again, it's really hard to laugh." After Jiang Ye finished speaking, he continued to walk forward, ignoring Wei Lin.
Lin left added: "It's still fierce."
Wei Lin frowned, and nodded seriously to Lin Yun: "It's super fierce."
Jiang also pretended not to hear.But he has been walking alone, really bored, he was thinking about his own affairs, but gradually, he kept listening to Wei Lin talking nonsense with others.
"Hanzhou was originally a border town belonging to the Sui Kingdom. Due to its large border with my country, it has been used as a neutral trading city a hundred years ago. On the border between my country and Hanzhou, there are two towering peaks named Buxiao Mountain. Buxiao Mountain has always been As a natural barrier, at the junction of Hanzhou and Yanzhou, there is a natural canyon between the two peaks, called Yanhan Valley. As early as hundreds of years ago, our country built a defensive military in Yanhan Valley. This time it attacked Hanzhou , It can be said that it is a foolproof business, if you win, you can go deep into the hinterland of Sui country; if you lose, you will return to Yanhan Valley, and Sui country cannot enter."
"Isn't that not dangerous at all?" Listening to Wei Lin's high-spirited speech, Lin Lefty's eyes were full of admiration.Lin Leftover is a concubine of a down-and-out aristocratic family. He doesn’t like reading or military art on weekdays. His only hobbies are carpentry and making gadgets. He doesn’t know anything about wars between countries, and he doesn’t understand complicated things like terrain. Listening to Wei Lin's explanation at this time, I secretly sighed that Wei Lin was well-informed.
Jiang Ye also sighed that Wei Lin was well-informed.But he still didn't speak, and listened quietly, he didn't want to give Wei Lin the slightest chance to be proud.Wei Lin was already an annoyed person, but when he became proud, it really made Jiang want to strangle him to death.
"Hey, it's not dangerous to fight, no matter whether he is a sure-fire business or not, he will always die." Jia Da suddenly appeared and said.
"Yes." Wei Lin nodded, "But the general who presides over the battle in Hanzhou is very powerful, maybe he can win with just one soldier?"
Jiang Ye was a little curious about this, and suddenly asked, "Who is it?"
"Women in deep boudoirs have little knowledge." Wei Lin said triumphantly.
Jiang didn't want to bear it at all, and turned around to take advantage of Wei Lin's defenselessness, and suddenly stopped in his tracks. Wei Lin bumped into him: "What are you doing..."
Before he could say anything, Jiang Yefan grabbed his arm and threw Wei Lin over his shoulder to the ground.
"Ouch!" Wei Lin yelled in pain, and got up from the ground, very embarrassed.Jiang also looked at Wei Lin with satisfaction, and asked again: "Who is that general?"
"It's General Xue, Xue Ziqin, the son of Xue Changfeng, General Dingbei..."
"You know a lot." Jiang also flatly praised Wei Lin.He had heard of Xue Changfeng's name.As early as when he was still young, Xue Changfeng became famous by relying on a thousand generals to block the 1 horses attacking the city from the north by the barbarians. He won the name of Dingbei and became one of the three famous generals of Xuanguo.
"I didn't expect Brother Jiang to be so strong. I only knew that Brother Wei could fight..." Jia Da, who witnessed the whole process, expressed surprise, and Jia Er nodded hurriedly, feeling that he could not offend Brother Jiang.
Lin left was considered powerless, and he was dressed in a gentle manner. Watching Jiang Ye throwing Wei Lin, he was a little scared.
This man is so fierce, I can't afford to provoke him, I can't afford to provoke him.
In comparison, Wei Lin appears to be amiable and knowledgeable.
With so many people marching together, it will take about ten days to travel from Yanzhou to Buxiao Mountain.
Hanzhou is in the south of Yanzhou. After walking for a few days, you can already feel the temperature rise, not as cold as in Yanzhou.
This time, Jiang also behaved himself.Before leaving, I bought a lot of dry food for Jia Da and Jia Er to carry. Although it was not very delicious, fortunately, I would not go hungry.
At night, under the arrangement of Deputy General Min, everyone lit a fire, rested, and then arranged for good people to take turns to watch the night.
Ten days later, people from Shangzhou joined them.There are many adults in Shangzhou, and the team immediately changed from more than 100 people to more than 400 people.
