It is said that her ex-husband's name is Yang Jian

In addition to daily training, the soldiers of Xiqi also work part-time on land reclamation and farming, which not only develops agriculture, increases food production, but also exercises physical fitness. , It can be said to serve multiple purposes, the army and the people are united, and everyone is happy.

Therefore, everyone’s life is quite fulfilling on weekdays, and there has never been a situation of being bored and causing trouble. However, there has been no war recently, and winter is coming again. The temperature has dropped sharply, the land has hardened, and the work of reclaiming wasteland and farming has long since stopped. After a while when it snows, the time for daily training will probably be shortened a lot. In order to enrich everyone's spare time, the higher-ups decided to organize a big competition for the whole army. Everyone from the bottom soldiers to the generals of the three armies can sign up. join.

Those who win will be rewarded, and those who lose will continue to work hard. Friendship comes first, competition comes second.

The army organization of Xiqi is similar to that of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, with ten soldiers as pawns, ten pawns as a line, three lines from the left, middle, and right as a large line, three lines as a brigade, three brigades as a division, three divisions as an army, and one army as a group. The head is Qing, the head of the first division is the middle doctor, the head of the first brigade is the lower doctor, the head of the line is the sergeant, and the head of the line is the sergeant.

Originally, only the imperial court could have an "army" organization, but since Xiqi has now torn face with the Yin and Shang, he doesn't care about it anymore. In the past few years since Xibohou returned to Xiqi, many people have come to join him After Huang Feihu joined, more people defected. Some of these people chose to serve the people, and some chose to join the army, so the number of Xiqi's army is very considerable.

This time the whole army contest is also divided into levels. First, the pawns choose one to enter the line, the winner of the line chooses one to enter the line, the line chooses three to enter the brigade, the brigade chooses three to enter the army, and the army chooses three to six to enter the unified comparison, that is, When it comes to the end, the front, middle and rear armies each choose six people, and finally these nine people will have the final showdown.

Oh, some people definitely say, what if the one who is eliminated from the army may be better than the one selected by the other army?Don't worry, this issue has also been taken into account above. As long as the army commander guarantees, the eliminated people of each army will have a chance to challenge the winner of the other army. If they win, they can replace the opponent's quota.

Some people must have said that if a fish slipped through the net in an army or between divisions and brigades, then it is an internal problem, and internal problems are solved internally, which is so rude...

When a list of martial arts competitions was posted, the barracks erupted.

Especially the young soldiers and generals at the bottom, this is a great opportunity to show their faces above.

A thin figure braved the cold wind and entered a house made of mud. After shutting the door of the cold wind, he stomped his feet comfortably before walking inside with a smile.

This room made of loess is not big. There is a wooden bed in the corner, a table in the middle, and a simple wooden cabinet next to the bed. Apart from that, there are no other items. Don’t look at the house. Simple, most of the middle and lower level generals in Xiqi live in this kind of place. Ordinary soldiers live in one room for the leader, and two for the captain. Only the captain can live in a single room.

The places for daily military training outside Xiqi City are all barracks made of loess from local materials. Only camps are used when going out to fight. This is also the common situation of armies in various places today.

However, if you have credit and money, you can use another vacant land. Those who can enter the city enter the city, and those who cannot enter the city, build a house, surround a small courtyard, marry a daughter-in-law, have a few children, and have a rest day. It is the best hope of most ordinary soldiers to go home and live a life of wives and children on the hot kang, and to take care of themselves after retiring from the army.

Beside the table, a man with a dignified face was holding an oil lamp and wiping his saber with a cloth towel. His careful eyes seemed to be looking at some important treasure.

"Brother, are you still cleaning your knife? You haven't played a battle in this period of time. Your knife is clean. What is there to wipe?" The skinny man went to the table and sat down, slammed his mouth, quite puzzled .

The man's eyes did not move, he continued to work on the work at hand, and replied: "What do you know, because of it, I was able to survive the battle of Chongcheng, even if I don't have to fight now, I can't slack off, and I will be ready at any time." You have to maintain a fighting state, and you won't panic when things come to an end."

After wiping the knife, he put it back into the scabbard carefully, and then the man looked at his brother with a relaxed expression, "Amu, why did we go from Chaoge to Xiqi together, do you remember ?"

Amu wiped his face fiercely, and muttered: "Of course I remember! Isn't it just to get ahead, live a good life, and live like a human being! Axiu, we are doing well now, we have a place to live and food to eat, If you are an official at any age, you can live a good life. Do you have to risk your life? You see, in the last battle of Chongcheng, you almost lost your life by escaping several times. That's right, you are Relying on this credit, you were promoted to the president, but don't forget that after Chongcheng came back, you lay in bed for more than three months, and Ah Zhen cried several times, and her life was gone. What's the use of credit?"

Axiu raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, touching a small scar next to his cheek: "But I'm still alive now!"

Amu sighed: "That's your luck! To be honest, Axiu, I was really a little scared last time. I always thought that killing people was nothing. Didn't we kill those officers and soldiers in Chaoge? But in the battle of Chongcheng, I realized that my thinking was too simple. My brother in the same room was cut in half in front of me by a knife right next to me! I almost ended up in the same way, several times I was scared into a cold sweat when I dreamed about it. We are in our twenties, and we should start a family. Why don’t we retire from the army, and we won’t starve to death! When the time comes, marry a daughter-in-law and start a family. How wonderful! You see, when we were in Chaoge, how could we have imagined that there is still today, and Azhen, she has never been married, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that she is waiting for you, you..."

"Amu!" Axiu frowned and thought about Amu's words, "Don't say such things in the future, it's not good for Azhen's reputation, we used to live together in Chaoge, and came all the way to Xiqi, I just treat her like my sister , absolutely no other intentions, if you have a chance to see her in the future, you should persuade her."

Amu muttered: "That girl, how could she listen to her and persuade her? She has heard anyone's words except yours!"

"Okay, okay, I won't talk, I won't talk!" Seeing Axiu's eyes drifting over, Amu quickly covered his mouth to express that he would not talk about this topic.

"However, Ah Xiu, you really don't plan to retire? With your current achievements, you should be able to get a lot of money. It's better to do a small business than to work hard!"

Axiu shook his head: "Amu, everyone has their own aspirations. If you don't want to stay in the barracks, I won't force you, but I won't leave. Don't worry, even if you are no longer together in the future, you will still be here." My brother, wait for later..." Ah Xiu paused, and then continued, "I can also support you, and Ah Zhen, if she wants to marry, my soldiers who have not yet married, if she wants to , I can decide for her. If she is not willing to marry a soldier, you can help her find a wealthy and honest man in the city. You tell her that she is my sister. If there are any difficulties in the future, I will take care of her. Help her decide."

Amu nodded, glanced at Axiu, and said tentatively: "I hear what you mean, you will work hard to get promoted in the future? Now that you are the president, isn't that enough?"

Axiu smiled and said nothing, took out his own knife and pulled it out lightly, the bright and clean blade reflected the man's ambitious eyes, how could it be enough?He wants to take down the moon in the sky, how can a mere president be enough? !

He remembered more than a year ago, on the day when King Wucheng led the Huang family army back to Xiqi, he was standing under the city gate, and she was standing on a high tower, with her toga and wide sleeves fluttering, as if she was going to fly away with the wind. , that was the first time he saw her after Xiqi left. Four years later, her face has not changed at all, she is still so noble and beautiful. I don't know where to fly, he looked at her, but she didn't see him, yes, maybe in her eyes, he was no different from other soldiers guarding, how could she see him?

From a distance, she seemed to be smiling. Who was she smiling at?Although that smile was not for him, he still felt as if he saw a flower blooming. At that moment, he wanted to pluck that tall flower.

She stood so high, how could he not try to climb up?

Axiu didn't speak, there was silence in the room for a while, Amu said again: "By the way, I heard that many noble ladies from Xiqi will be there to watch the last match of the whole army competition. If you look up to a noble girl, your daughter-in-law will have a bright future! If you don’t like it, as long as you can get to the last level, you will be rewarded! I don’t know if it’s an official reward or a reward, you know, I’ve heard from people in private Said, firstly, this competition is to select talents, and secondly, it is to choose husbands for the noble girls in the city! Well, from this point of view, you are right not to marry Ah Zhen!"

Axiu glanced at Amu, but still didn't speak. Of course he knew, not only did he know that noble daughters would choose a husband from among them, he also knew that Marquis Xibo was also planning to choose a husband for his sister Yue Nvjun.

He once heard a dead brother whisper that Xibohou wanted to marry King Wucheng. At that time, his heart was cold, but he talked and laughed calmly on his face, as if his mind and mind were separated. Feeling lost, I sat alone all night.

Now that he has this opportunity, no matter why, he must seize it!

She used to be so far away from him, and now she is so close, as if within reach, after all, God treated him kindly and gave him a chance, probably the only chance, so he must win!

Axiu showed determination, and slowly closed the knife. He glanced at his brother and felt a little regretful. They had spent the most difficult years together. He advances and retreats to help each other, but there are still differences between them. He is satisfied with his current life and feels like retreating, but he feels that his blood is boiling, his prospects are just right, and he has endless energy, as if there is a fire, urging himself to keep going. go forward.

Amu will still be his brother in the future. They used to love each other wholeheartedly, but now they still have to part ways, after all, they are no longer fellow travelers!
