We are not allowed to brush face here [Quick Transmigration]

In the barracks competition, everyone had to participate in at least one competition. Ye Cheng chose to fight, fought ten times in a row, and solved the problem of promotion by three times, five times, and two times.

On the way back to the camp, Ye Cheng met General Huaihua in ordinary military uniform.General Huaihua was only accompanied by a few personal guards, and he should have been quietly inspecting the situation in the barracks before.

It stands to reason that General Huaihua is the highest military general in the entire Huxiao Pass, and a small shrimp like Ye Cheng has little chance to get in close contact with him.The last time I saw him, it was just an accident, Ye Cheng saluted from a distance, and was about to leave, but General Huaihua stopped him.

"Ye Duanyu."

Ye Cheng stopped: "What orders does the general have?"

General Huaihua waved his hand: "Let's take a walk with this general."

Ye Cheng took a step behind and followed General Huaihua out of the training ground.

The barracks competition is a once-a-month event in the army. Everyone gathers in the training ground. Except for the soldiers who need to guard and patrol, there are not many people outside.

Ye Cheng didn't know what General Huaihua wanted him to do, he just followed behind quietly.

General Huaihua walked around and looked around, it seemed that he really just wanted to find someone to accompany him, chatting with Ye Cheng occasionally, "Why did you come back so early today?"

"Why?" General Huaihua smiled, "Don't look down on your opponent in the army?"

Ye Cheng shook his head: "There are a lot of talented people in the army, I just got the credit for my talent."

This is not modesty.If he really wants to compare, he will naturally come out on top in everything.But comparing him with other soldiers is actually a bit of a bully.After all, he is not really in his twenties, nor is he a so-called literati.

A glint of appreciation flashed in General Huaihua's eyes: "I've seen your training record, it's pretty good."

Ever since meeting Ye Cheng that day, General Huaihua actually told the generals in charge of the criminal camp to pay attention to Ye Cheng.But this time, not as a person who some relatives asked him to take care of, but as a junior whom he admired, a seedling he valued.

So he knew that even though Ye Cheng's grades were outstanding as soon as he entered the barracks, every time he trained, Ye Cheng was still the hardest and most serious one.Moreover, the camp of criminals has always been chaotic, with distinct camps, but Ye Cheng quickly merged into it, and even gained prestige.He was originally a well-clothed and well-fed son, and it was really impressive to be able to do this.

In this world, there are naturally talented people, and Ye Cheng is one of them.But General Huaihua believes that all the achievements in this world can never be achieved just because of talent.

"You've been here for a few months, what do you think of the army?"

This really shouldn't be a question for a general to ask a criminal.

But Ye Cheng replied seriously: "He is full of morale, and he can fight."

General Huaihua's eyes were unclear: "But in peacetime, it's not a good thing to have strong soldiers and horses."

Ye Cheng shook his head: "With tigers and wolves at your side, how can you say the word 'Taiping' lightly?"

The Great Xia has been established for a long time, and it covers a wide area, of which the land of fish and rice accounts for more than half, and it is the most affluent, but because it is inevitable.Rongguo rose later. It is located in bitter cold and the living conditions are harsh, but because of this, the army is strong, and even women and children can mount horses to kill the enemy.

A few years ago, Rongguo raised troops on a large scale, and Daxia was unprepared. Several cities were captured one after another, and even the capital was almost besieged by soldiers.But after all, Great Xia has been a country for a long time, and its national strength is strong. When it came to its senses, it didn't let Rongguo take advantage of it.After a fierce fight, the two countries finally negotiated peace.It's been five years now.

Although there are minor frictions such as "bandits" at the border from time to time, it is still relatively peaceful.

General Huaihua looked at Ye Cheng with more admiration in his eyes, and said with sarcasm: "But the ridiculous thing is that since the ridiculous treaty was signed a few years ago, Rongguo has not raised its troops on a large scale, and many people in Beijing think that , Now it’s the Taiping Festival, and the reduction of troops has been mentioned many times in the court.”

Fortunately, the emperor trusted General Huaihua very much. In recent years, he has never shown any signs of being afraid or hindering General Huaihua because of other people's advice.From Ye Cheng's point of view, General Huaihua did not disappoint the emperor's trust.He trained troops well and managed them rigorously, he deserved to be a famous general.

General Huaihua snorted coldly: "Those literati who have read too much about 'benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith' will lose their minds. What's the use of a paper treaty? Rong Guo's wolf ambition will come back one day!"

Ye Cheng never regarded himself as a literati, so although General Huaihua had some maps, he didn't care.

Civil and military positions differ.From General Huaihua's point of view, Rongguo's wolfish ambitions make it absolutely impossible to cut troops.But raising soldiers is a very expensive thing, and General Huaihua has been in Huxiaoguan for many years, and his reputation is extremely strong.Now that there is no more fighting, the courtiers are inevitably a little apprehensive.It is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong.

But I have to say that the plot in the book proves that General Huaihua's judgment is correct.Rong Guo really didn't think about peaceful coexistence with Daxia.In two or three years, Rong Guo will find an excuse to tear up the treaty and raise troops again.This time, because Rongguo's third prince has emerged and used his troops treacherously, the fight will be even more brutal than last time.

But Ye Cheng didn't understand why General Huaihua wanted to tell him this.He was just a pawn.

General Huaihua did not continue, he said calmly: "Go back and clean up, and tomorrow you will go to Tiger Roaring Mountain with the patrol team to defend."

Ye Cheng was slightly startled, and replied: "Yes."

……

The transfer of Ye Cheng to the patrol battalion of Huxiao Mountain was only a trivial matter, but because it was the general who said it, it was inevitable that it would spread among the upper-level generals.

Cui Yang was cleaning his armor in the house when one of the general's personal guards suddenly visited.

Because the two have a good relationship, the guard spoke casually: "The general agreed, let the boy surnamed Ye come to your camp tomorrow and go to Huxiao Mountain for patrol."

Cui Yang was stunned for a moment: "Didn't the general not agree before?"

"I met this time at Dabi, and after talking a few words, the general suddenly told him to go."

"The general really wants to reuse him. Tsk, a criminal." Rao is very convinced and loyal to the general, and the guard can't help but feel a little jealous, "You too, just forget it if you don't guard against it, why give it back to him?" paving?"

It was Cui Yang who first proposed to let Ye Cheng leave the criminal camp and go to Huxiao Mountain for patrol.

Huxiaoguan is named after this mountain.This mountain is not far from Huxiao Pass, with continuous ups and downs and complex terrain, it is also a strong line of defense for Daxia against Rongguo.There are many sentry posts in Huxiao Mountain. Every three months, there will be a change of patrols to prevent Rongguo Tibetan soldiers from entering the mountain and overwhelming the border.

It stands to reason that this job is not the turn of the criminal camp, because everyone has little trust in the people in the criminal camp, and they are afraid that they will run away, or cooperate with the enemy or something.

General Huaihua spoke, apparently not just to ask Ye Cheng to patrol the mountains.This is for Ye Cheng to get familiar with the terrain of Huxiao Mountain.

Cui Yang laughed: "He is a capable person. I just said it casually. The general agreed to use him because he wanted to use him."

After the guards left, Cui Yang continued to wipe the armor, but there was no smile in his eyes.

Exile into exile, in fact, death is a very common thing.Half of the people died on the road, and most of the other half couldn't stand the rules and training of the army.With so many people exiled into the army every year, three or four out of ten would be good enough to survive.

It was such a simple and random thing, but Ye Cheng did not die, so he had to go another way.

Cui Yang didn't find any opportunity to let him die in the camp reasonably, but if he died on the mountain, there are many ways to hide it.

……

Mountain patrolling is not a good job.

In the military camp, although the daily training is a bit stricter and there are more rules, but at least they live in a fixed camp, and there is hot water and hot food.But it's different in the mountains. Ten people are left at each sentry post, and they have to deal with eating, drinking, and messing with each other by themselves, and they have to go out to patrol the mountains.

The winter in Huxiaoguan is extremely long, so we are not afraid of wild bears, snakes and insects, but in the weather of Huxiaoguan, even with a charcoal stove burning in the house, it is inevitable to shiver from the cold, let alone in the wild.

If it was another person, and suddenly there was such a difference, it would be bad luck.But Ye Cheng was fine.

Although he has adapted well to life in the army, he is inevitably a little bored when he stays in one place every day. It would be nice to change the map.

What surprised him even more was that he unexpectedly met Ji Fangze in the mountains.

Ji Fangze didn't know that Ye Cheng came here, he came out to collect medicine.

Huxiao Mountain is located in the northern border, but its products are very rich. Usually, there are mountain people who come to collect medicine, hunt, or chop firewood.But in this weather, the breath is like ice, and there are many fewer people entering the mountain.

Ji Fangze walked all the way with the medicine basket on his back, feeling a little tired.He sat down on a flat rock and put the empty medicine basket aside.

It wasn't the first time he went to Huxiao Mountain to collect herbs, but it was the first time he encountered such an unlucky situation. After walking for half an afternoon, he found nothing.Not to mention Gastrodia elata and ginseng, I didn't even see a single bupleurum.

Sitting and resting, suddenly a shadow covered him.Ji Fangze was slightly startled, he stood up abruptly, took two steps back, and looked up.

On the tree he was leaning against just now, a person was hanging upside down with his legs hanging on the branch, his hair was swaying, and his eyes were full of smiles: "robbery."

Ji Fangze's eyes were suddenly brightened, and he tried hard to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth: "No money."

Ye Cheng jumped down from the tree and walked around Ji Fangze a few times: "If you don't have any money, give me something else."

Ji Fangze showed him the empty basket: "There's nothing, and I haven't picked any medicine."

Ji Fangze was a little surprised at the fact that he didn't get the medicine at first, but he wasn't disappointed at all.But seeing Ye Cheng now, he suddenly felt that it was a great grievance that he didn't get the medicine.

Ye Cheng was slightly startled: "It's so miserable."

He knew that this was already the inside of the mountain.Ji Fangze walked all the way, but didn't pick anything?

"But there are rules in every line of business." Ye Cheng was very sincere, "I can't let you off so easily just because you are pitiful. How will the business on the top of the mountain be?"

He quite naturally adapted to the role of King of the Mountain.

Ye Cheng circled Ji Fangze twice: "I think the little master looks like a flower and jade, and looks better than Pan An. It just so happens that my family has a big business, countless brothers, and I still lack a Mrs. Yazhai."

According to Ye Cheng's thinking, at this time, Ji Fangze should speak up and resist with all his strength.But Ji Fangze and Ye Cheng obviously did not take the same script, he nodded calmly: "Then let's go."

"But I have to work first." Although the little master didn't resist, Ye Cheng didn't get to the point of forgetting his father, he touched his nose, "Little master, stand here obediently and don't move, wait for me to patrol After finishing the mountain, I will tie you back and get married."
