Chapter 263: Wei Yuanting's Dream
There is little water in the northwest. Although there are large rivers flowing through, the water in the rivers is very fast.
If you want to catch fish, not only do you have to worry about your life, but you also have to see if you have the ability to catch enough fish for the entire army.
Everyone was looking forward to it at first, and then they heard that someone saw cartloads of dried fish that looked like firewood sticks and were delivered to the military camp.
Even if it is a firewood stick, it is still a fish! When hungry, it can even eat dirt, let alone a few firewood sticks.
Bowls of salted fish were minced and steamed before being served to the dinner table. The salted fish had been processed before being cooked, so it didn't smell too fishy, and the oil in the fish itself had been preserved by sunlight.
Steaming over the fire not only softens the fish meat, but also brings out all the salty aroma contained in the fish.
Everyone took a sniff and only smelled a sporadic fishy smell, the salty smell was even stronger, and the smell of meat filled their noses.
It's rare to have meat to eat, and who cares whether it's fishy or not. I put it in my mouth with a chopstick, and it was different from the ordinary soft and white fish meat. It was even tougher than beef and mutton.
Usually when eating fish, you worry about getting stuck in the shark fins, but this salted fish is different. The thin bones are salty and soft, and many people swallow them directly. The larger hard fish bones have a salty taste, and they are eaten with white pancakes.
How many bites can I eat?
The salted fish was served with steamed cakes, and the soldiers ate happily.
"This is the first time since I was a child that I have eaten meat so happily!" someone exclaimed.
Sun-dried fish can be so delicious when turned into firewood sticks. After they win the war and return home, they must go to the ditches and ditches near the village to catch some fish and save them for the New Year!
"I heard that the centurion who performed meritorious service in the tent next door was rewarded with a jar of shrimps by the general!"
Everyone was talking, chewing the salted fish in their mouths, and imagining how delicious the shrimps were. They must try it if they achieve great achievements in the future.
Salted fish is just one of them. I cooked beef bone soup and sweet potatoes in the evening.
There was less beef and more mutton, all of which they took from the Hu people after winning the battle. Thinking of this, the soldiers ate even more enthusiastically.
After taking a sip of the steaming hot beef and mutton soup, the chill in your body was forced out.
After taking a bite of sweet and soft roasted sweet potato, I lay down on the ground around the fire.
This bitter cold northwest land seems to be filled with many beautiful moments in an instant.
Wei Yuanting's injuries were mostly healed. Perhaps because the Wei family had strong financial resources, the medicine and doctors were given to him as if they were free of charge.
A few days ago, he led his men to repel an elite group of Hu people, proving to the people around him that he was still a general capable of going to the battlefield.
It's just that my behavior and style have changed a lot...
In other words, there is a new and capable general in this team, and his strength is not inferior to that of General Wei, which makes General Wei's glory dim a lot.
A knife will rust if it is not sharpened, and a man has not mounted his horse for a long time. Although Wei Yuanting can fight, he is not as dazzling as before.
Some people say that General Jiang's time has come.
But no matter how powerful Jiang Yuan is, the Wei family has been operating in the military for a long time, and the internal relations are intricate. Even if there are a lot of promoters behind him, they are all working under the name of Wei Yuanting, and they are always lower than him.
In the past few years, Wei Yuanting suffered several defeats and lost several cities. Nowadays, the battles are becoming more and more successful. Although Jiang Yuan is famous, he cannot surpass Wei Yuanting after all.
Why should General Jiang, a soldier with a martial arts star, be wronged in the name of General Wei?
Is it just because the Wei family is so powerful?
I don’t know if someone is adding fuel to the flames or something else, but there are all kinds of voices in the army.
"You really can sit still!" Qin Sheng hated the fact that iron is not as strong as iron. "Didn't you hear what was going on outside?"
Wei Yuanting was leisurely drinking hot tea in the camp and flicking the charcoal fire in front of him.
"Jiang Yuan can do it, let him do it."
"What happened to the things I asked you to collect?" Wei Yuanting suddenly changed the subject and asked.
After hearing this, Qin Sheng's brows darkened a little, and his face was so dark that it could be used as ink, "Since you know that he is the guilty minister, why do you bother to collect evidence for him to clear his name? You are rushing to please him.
Woolen cloth?"
Wei Yuanting shook his head, looking idle. "Since he is a man of great merit to the country, what about helping him?"
"He is a very evil person. We should stay away from him. If you are here to cherish each other, who knows what he is thinking?" Qin Sheng said.
When Jiang Yuan rose to prominence in the army, Qin Sheng began to send people to investigate him.
After searching for a long time, I couldn't find any clues. Finally, some clues were revealed from the words of some adults.
Although the Su family has long since died out, the Su family has stayed in the military camp for so many years. There are many people who can remember the appearance of the Su family, and most of them are old people of a high generation.
This is one of the reasons why Jiang Yuan was able to gain a foothold in the military camp so quickly. Many senior soldiers recognized him and recognized that Jiang Yuan's appearance was similar to that of General Su back then. After asking about his age, it turned out that he was the younger General Su back then.
Son?
No wonder it's so outstanding.
Wei Yuanting also heard a few words from his elders about the Su family's case, but after so many years, much of the evidence has been blurred.
Even if he asked Qin Sheng to collect it, he could only collect sporadic physical evidence.
Qin Sheng didn't know why Wei Yuanting took so much trouble. In his opinion, Wei Yuanting became stupid after being injured.
What Qin Sheng didn't know was that Wei Yuanting was recalling a dream he had when he was seriously ill.
In the dream, he died after being assassinated.
Da Jin was retreating steadily, and Qin Sheng was also seriously injured.
When there was no one in the army, Jiang Yuan stood at the front and shouldered everything.
Some scenes of Jiang Yuan being injured briefly flashed through his dream. He went through life and death for Da Jin and narrowly escaped death.
Wei Yuanting felt that if he told it, others would just think it was crazy.
But he was convinced in his heart that this was not a dream, this seemed to be something that might happen in the future.
If the knife were a little further away, it would have been on his chest.
After Wei Yuanting recovered from his injuries, he kept thinking about the gap between the day of danger and his dream.
The only possibility is that the personal guards around him were replaced by magic weapons sent by the Ordnance Department, which caught the Hu people off guard. Even the elite Hu people had swords in their hands that were not as sharp as the magic weapons.
Wei Yuanting didn't think much about this matter...
But in the subsequent dream, after his death, Jiang Yuan helped the Wei family and Qin Sheng beside him.
If he said this, many people would definitely think he was crazy.
Because of an illusory dream, Wei Yuanting went to help the son of a criminal who was absconding. He was crazy, right?
Wei Yuanting held the tea cup and took a big sip. The tea was rice tea sent from the south. It was very fragrant.
It feels much better to be alive than to be dead.
One day at a time is one day at a time.
The dream was very long, and he learned about Jiang Yuan's plan in the dream. Since Jiang Yuan wanted to avenge his family through military exploits, he let him go to help him.
Qin Sheng looked at his general Xianyu's expression and sighed deeply.
