Xiao Xiao led over 2000 Qin troops and set off from the west of the river. On the second day, they saw Yongzhou City.
Yongzhou City was surrounded by mountains on three sides and enjoyed the natural advantage of land.
If the west of the river was said to be the richest city, Yongzhou City probably wouldn't be ranked. However, which city was the hardest to attack? That Yongzhou City was definitely one of the best.
A hundred years ago, the Wei State failed to attack the Qin State, and the west of the river fell into the hands of the Wei State. Only Yongzhou City lasted for several months.
At that time, the Wei Kingdom had suffered a lot here.
In the end, because there was no more grain or poultry in the city, the army ate the last warhorse. Only then did the leading Qin general open the city gate and lead his last subordinates out of the city to fight to the death.
In the decades that followed, it was only during the reign of King Huiwen of Qin that it was taken back.
.....
He looked at the snow-covered ancient city of Yongzhou in the distance. Xiao Xiao and the rest also sped up.
When they arrived at the gate, the soldiers guarding the gate seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
The caravans and passers-by who were passing by saw the large group of Qin soldiers suddenly coming from afar and made way for them.
"These people seem to be new recruits.”
"Yeah, why did they suddenly come to Yongzhou?”
"Wow, look, the centurion at the front is actually so young. He seems to be about the same age as my youngest son.”
"Hiss, such a young centurion!”
......
Looking at the two thousand strong Qin army, the commoners started to discuss, especially Xiao Xiao, who was leading them. He was already a centurion at such a young age.
Unlike the commoners, although many of the merchants were surprised, there was a thought-provoking look in their eyes.
Xiao Xiao also saw these gazes, but he seemed to be getting used to it.
On this day's journey, ever since he changed into the centurion's clothes, his head was wrapped in the centurion's black scarf. This kind of gaze could be seen from time to time.
And the one who revealed these gazes. Basically, they were all well-dressed businessmen.
They entered the city. A civil official in his forties was already waiting there with over two hundred Qin soldiers.
"Captain Xiao, this humble one is Wei Qiu, an officer of Yongzhou.”
Qin Feng advocated martial arts. But facing Xiao Xiao, who had real power. He did not dare to treat her lightly.
In particular, General Shi of the West River Military Camp had already sent a letter to inform him.
"Xiao Xiao greets County Head Wei!"
Xiao Xiao got off his horse and bowed in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. Then, he followed Wei Qiu and walked into Yongzhou City.
Along the way, Xiao Xiao also saw the cultural scenery of Yongzhou City.
Compared to Nan Su, there were undoubtedly more merchants in Yongzhou City. As they walked, they could see a few merchants with servants talking to each other every few steps. From the clothes of the people in the city, it could be seen that they were living well.
At a glance, both sides of the bluestone street were filled with shops.
There were shops selling food, cloth, jewelry, and figurines.
"Although our Yongzhou cannot compare to Xianyang, Yueyang, and Hangu Pass, we are not as powerful as them. However, they could also rely on the mountains beside the city to feed and dress the people in the city.”
County Head Wei Qiu accompanied Xiao Xiao as they walked and then introduced him to Xiao Xiao.
County Head Wei only stopped when he reached the military camp in the city.
"This is the empty barracks in the city. No one has come for more than ten years. Today, I'll get someone to clean it up. Sorry for the inconvenience, Captain Shaofu."
Xiao Xiao looked at the grassy open space in the distance. When he heard this, he quickly shook his head.
"No, it's the people of Yongzhou's fortune to be free here.”
"Then this Wei will not disturb Captain Xiao. If there is anything, just have someone inform me.”
.....
"Good! In the future, he would have to trouble County Head Wei.”
After a round of politeness, Xiao Xiao led the soldiers into the military camp that had been abandoned for more than ten years after the Wei County Head left.
After the west of the river was taken back, Wei State began to decline not long after. In the following decades, there were few wars in the west of the river. Yongzhou was the most remote place, so it was normal for the barracks to be abandoned.
"Set up camp!"
Xiao Xiao ordered.
"Yes!"
After that, Zhao Kun, Han Cheng, and Yi Kang led their subordinates to settle down in the barracks.
More than 2,000 soldiers began to move things out of the carriages. Soon, tents were erected in the abandoned military camp.
.....
On the other side, Xiao Xiao did not know that in the Lantian Military Camp a few hundred miles away. After the three youths met, they hugged each other fiercely.
They were Mo Qie, Chang Yu, and Third Brother Liu Yu.
After not seeing each other for so many years, the three brothers couldn't help but feel excited.
"Third brother, it's been so many years since we last met. Why is it so dark?"
"Yes, Third Brother. I haven't seen you come home for so many years.”
...
Mo Qie and Chang Yu looked at the three Liu Yus. He said with tears in his eyes.
"It's not that I don't want to, but I really can't leave these few years.”
Liu Yu shook his head. How could he not want to go back? It had been three years since he last saw his mother. How could he not miss her?
"Oh right, where are Boss and Fourth Brother? Why aren't they here?"
Chang Yu saw that Liu Yu was alone and could not help but speak.
Since Liu Yu was in Lantian, then Boss and Fourth Brother should be in Lantian as well.
"What's wrong?"
Mo Qie and Chang Yu suddenly saw Liu Yu shake his head.
"You know about Second Brother, right? Boss and the others are in Shangjun now. I'm in logistics. The general doesn't let me leave Lantian.”
Liu Yu sighed. When he thought of his second brother, Xiao Chuan, he could not help but feel sad.
The brothers had played together since they were young and became brothers. The three of them had joined the army together. They agreed to share weal and woe in the future. Second Brother left just like that.
It was the second day after he heard the news. The eldest went to the general and knelt on the ground, asking him to lead the troops to guard Shangjun. All for the sake of one day going to Yan and Zhao. Avenge Xiao Chuan!
Before leaving, he repeatedly reminded his boss that if he still treated him as a brother, he had to inform him when he took revenge in the future and call him along.
..
Speaking of Xiao Chuan, Mo Qie and Chang Yu suddenly grabbed Liu Yu's arm anxiously.
"That's right, Third Brother. Do you know the recruits from three months ago? Where are they now?"
"That's right. Tell us quickly, where are the recruits from three months ago?”
....
Liu Yu was a little confused when he saw how anxious his two younger brothers were. A recruit from three months ago?
He had heard of this before. It was said to be the most miserable batch of recruits. Within a month, he was sent to the border to fight the Han army.
Liu Yu didn't know why his two brothers were asking this.
"I heard that they went to the border to resist the Korean army. What's wrong?”
Then, Liu Yu saw Mo Qie and Chang Yu's faces instantly turn soulless.
Liu Yu frowned.
"What's wrong? If you have something to say to third brother. If that recruit offended some people, you can rest assured. Those new recruits would not be able to come back alive this time. Besides, I'm here. I'm fine."
Liu Yu thought that his two younger brothers had offended someone and quickly said.
Those new recruits had just joined the army and were sent to resist tens of thousands of Korean troops. It would be a miracle if they could come back alive.
However, just as Liu Yu finished speaking, he saw…Chang Yu raised his head, his eyes filled with tears.
"Little Seven, Little Seven!"
Chang Yu's slightly choked voice was intermittent.
....
"What's wrong? Why are you talking about Little Seven?"
As Liu Yu listened to Little Seven, Xiao Xiao's appearance instantly appeared in her mind.
But what does this have to do with the recruit camp?
He thought of something. Liu Yu's pupils gradually widened, and his face slowly turned pale.
"What do you mean?"
When she asked this question, Liu Yu's tone had already begun to tremble. He was afraid that it was what he thought. If that was the case, he would not be able to sleep or eat in peace for the rest of his life.
......
"In order to avenge his brother, Little Seven is among the new recruits.”
