After everyone has set up their tents, they will have dinner. It may be that they can start a fire after setting up camp. This day, in addition to two slightly warm coarse grain buns, there is also an extra serving of Chinese cabbage for dinner.

Li Mushu looked at the Chinese cabbage as if he saw a delicacy. Although the Chinese cabbage was just boiled with some salt, it was at least a dish.Li Mushu doesn't care about the color and smell, it's good to have something to eat.He ate all of his cabbage in his mouth in three or two bites, and then started to eat steamed buns with vegetable juice.

"Xiao Mu, are you from the south?" Zhang Qiang allocated some of his share of cabbage to Li Mushu.

"Yes. Ah, brother Qiangzi, eat it, don't give it to me." Li Mushu felt embarrassed.

"Eat more. You look thin." Zhang Qiang dialed some more to Zhang Xiaotian.

"Thank you Brother Qiangzi. By the way, Xiao Mu, this time the conscription is only in the north, so how could you come from the south?" Zhang Xiaotian asked Li Mushu strangely while eating.

"I used to be from the north, but I just lived in the south." Li Mushu said nonsense.

"Oh." Zhang Qiang and Zhang Xiaotian suddenly realized, and at the same time felt more sympathetic to Li Mushu: "Why don't you stay in the south? They said there was war in northern Xinjiang, but you still ran north."

"Well, I don't want to either." Li Mushu couldn't speak, and became even more depressed.

"Hehe, it's okay. The three of us will take care of each other from now on." Among the three, Zhang Qiang was the oldest, and seeing Li Mushu like this, he knew that there might be something else hidden.But now that they have all come here, it will be useless to say anything, it will only add regret.

"En." Li Mushu and Zhang Xiaotian both laughed and nodded vigorously.

The water here is more precious, and there is no extra water to wash. Everyone just wiped their faces and hands and got into the tent to sleep.

The next day, I set out to camp before dawn, still with two buns and a bag of water...

This land is very magical, there are two extreme atmospheres.The outside of the small town of Guning is a deserted land, but after walking for four or five days, the climate gradually became milder, and even green foothills appeared as far as the eye could see, and there were more and more wild grasses and wild flowers under the feet .Seeing this, Li Mushu couldn't help thinking that Vietnam also had something like this. At that time, he and Pan Shengsen were still playing sandboarding in the desert very vigorously.

Just walking like this for six consecutive days, Li Mushu's feet got blisters from walking, and he felt all kinds of unbearable pain after being pierced.Now he doesn't have to deliberately not wash his face, all kinds of water sources are in short supply, and he even has to refrain from drinking water.Not to mention his diet, there is no good food for him at all.As for those two hard gray buns, he chewed for a long time and still choked in his throat and couldn't swallow them.

On the seventh day, Li Mushu heard the crowing of horses early in the morning, and the carriage that had driven to the Northern Xinjiang military camp first turned around to meet them.Li Mushu hugged his clothes and lined up to get into the carriage, feeling deeply moved. Even if he went to the battlefield early, it would be better than such a long march.

The carriage was simple and airy, the roof was an oilcloth supported by four small wooden slats, some hay was spread on the carriage, and they sat close together.It’s fine during the day, and the tarpaulin above can still cover the sun, but at night, it’s all kinds of cold.

With a carriage, you will no longer waste time camping and resting, but will be on your way day and night.The temperature dropped a lot at night, and Li Mushu was still shivering with the cold wrapped in a thin blanket wrapped in a cotton coat.Since everyone is a boy, there is no need to be shy about it. They hugged each other in the car to keep each other warm.

The carriage ran day and night, and the original flat road gradually turned into a mountain road, zigzagging into the mountains.

The trees in this mountain are tall and lush, and the air is very fresh.The deforestation of trees in modern times is too serious. Li Mushu has never been to a forest like this one, so he couldn't help but look around curiously.

This mountain road was not obvious and seemed to be newly opened. When the carriage passed by, Li Mushu stretched out his hand and touched the branches and long grass.It didn't know how long the carriage turned around along the mountain road. Li Mushu only felt that if he was asked to go out without a compass, he would definitely get lost.

It was getting darker and darker, and the carriage was running faster and faster.The sergeant who led the army just now said that they will arrive at the barracks soon.It's just that the air is getting more and more stuffy, and there are faint thunderclaps in the wind, and it seems that it's going to rain.If they are exposed to rain at this time, it is estimated that many people will fall ill, after all, the temperature is very low at night.

The carriage turned a big turn again, and with the remnant of daylight, the recruits could see the dark camp below the mountain.The banners were flying, and the sound of infantry drills could be faintly heard.

Li Mushu saw the ancient military camp for the first time, and his body, which was extremely tired, was refreshed. Like everyone else, he raised his head and looked at the camp gate that was getting closer and closer.

The heroic torches had already been lit around the gate of the camp, and the front of the gate was brightly lit.The police sentry standing on the high watchtower had already seen the carriage running towards them. Although the carriage had the flag of Tang Dynasty on it, the guard still shouted at them dutifully: "Stop!" On the other side The sentinel landed neatly down from the watchtower, and ran towards the big tent to report.

The front carriage stopped at the driver's yell, and the sergeant sitting on the carriage stood up.He first raised his hand to stop the carriage behind him, then took out a roll of documents from his arms and handed it to the guard standing by the camp gate.

After the guard took it with both hands, he immediately turned around and trotted into the camp, and handed it over to the officer who came out of the tent.The officer opened it and glanced at it for confirmation, then raised his hand and gestured to the sentinel on the watchtower to let him go.The sentries put away their bows and arrows, and at the same time, the soldiers below obeyed the order and opened the gate of the barracks.

The sergeants and officers responded, and with an order, Li Mushu and the others got out of the carriage and lined up to enter the barracks.Carriages entered one by one, followed by soldiers, and everything was carried out in an orderly, strict and cautious manner.The barracks is heavily guarded and the soldiers are very disciplined.So it must be true that General Xie's discipline is strict along the way?Li Mushu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. If this was the case, then there was a glimmer of hope for his personal safety for the time being.

Zhang Qiang and the others looked very happy, with piercing eyes. On the way, he and a few young men often expressed their admiration for General Xie Yueyun, and they must strive to follow him...

This war was launched by the barbarians on the grassland opposite the northern border of the Tang Dynasty.Originally, although the two countries often conflicted in terms of interests, they still coexisted peacefully on the surface.The Tang Dynasty did not expect that they would launch an attack suddenly, and they were caught off guard. Because of insufficient precautions and preparations, not only suffered heavy casualties, but they were also chased to the border and almost captured the border town.It was General Wang Zhongyi, who was stationed on the border of northern Xinjiang, and led the remnant soldiers to guard the city gate, and supported them so hard that the imperial court sent reinforcements.

After the outbreak of the war, General Xie Yueyun took the initiative to recommend himself to the emperor to go to the northern border, mobilized the morale of the whole army, and led the soldiers to repel the Huns time and time again, severely damaged their combat effectiveness, and gradually regained the occupied front .

Xie Yueyun was sent by his father Xie Zhenwei, the mighty general, to the northern border for five years when he was there.He is very familiar with northern Xinjiang. He has participated in large and small battles, and has a brilliant record. At the age of 22, he led the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to severely injure the barbarian army. Therefore, he was named General Zhenbei by the emperor, which is a matter of great relish.

This war started by the barbarian army has lasted for almost a year. I heard that this time General Xie is going to deal a final blow to the barbarian army to calm down the border between the two countries.

Along the way, Li Mushu heard everyone talking about General Xie Yueyun, and those youths in full swing were scrambling to tell the various versions of heroic deeds and various worships they had heard.Li Mushu lowered his head and snickered while listening. He was eight feet tall and his eyes were like copper bells. He only thought of monsters.Hahaha~~ Sure enough, the legend is very watery.

Li Mushu knew nothing about Xie Yueyun, everyone could say a few words, but he had nothing to say.This is no wonder for him, firstly, he is a newcomer to the Great Tang Kingdom, secondly, he is also a second-generation ancestor, so he doesn't hear the important affairs of the country, so naturally his family members won't tell him such things.

Boys have a hero complex, and after hearing so many heroic deeds about Xie Yueyun along the way, Li Mushu became very curious about this man.Calculated, this general Xie has not reached thirty yet.It's not easy to make such contributions at such a young age. At the age of 22, I was still studying for university courses.

It was already dark when they entered the barracks, and Li Mushu followed Zhang Qiang and Zhang Xiaotian closely at every step.There will be no grouping or other changes tonight. The three of them and a young man named Lin Jian will live in the same tent to rest.

This barracks is the third largest barracks in northern Xinjiang, and it can be regarded as a semi-logistics barracks.They are the last group of soldiers. They will settle down first tonight. Tomorrow, some strong soldiers will be selected and transferred to the first and second barracks, and the sick and disabled soldiers over there will also be transferred to this barracks for recuperation.

After settling down, we went to have dinner.It is still stewed mixed vegetables and two steamed buns, there is no oil or water at all.Li Mushu frowned and tried his best to eat them all.Everyone has already arrived at the barracks, and this may be the last meal.
