Chapter 92: Settled in

(I made an appointment with a specialist, but in the end I only did a nucleic acid test. I will have an anesthesia evaluation on Monday, and then I can make an appointment for a gastrointestinal endoscopy. It is estimated that it will not be done until Thursday or Friday. Then I was prescribed some medicine and came back to take it. I was feeling uncomfortable.

I hope the medicine has an effect and makes me feel like eating tomorrow.)

An extremely simple handover ceremony.

There are almost no extra supplies in Shentang Fort. According to what the leading general told Xin Jian, their food is delivered from Dingbian City once every three days. Today happens to be the third day, so the fort

The original food was almost eaten, and they had to take the rest with them to eat on the way back.

There are still a lot of ordnance in storage, but most of them are swords, guns, swords and halberds. There are no divine arm bows, enemy-defeating bows, and arrows exclusive to these two bows.

When Xin Jian and He Zheng saw the two Eight-Niu Crossbows equipped in the fort, they were almost angry. The base of one was mostly rotten, and it was flattened with a few stones.

With the force of the launch, when an arrow is fired, it is estimated that no matter how accurate the aim is, the arrow will still fly into the sky.

The other one was even worse. The beef tendons were soft and weak, and various iron components were stained with embroidery.

The general showed no shame and led the two of them around the fort. After completing the handover, he turned around and ran away quickly with his people.

He Zheng looked at the rooms in the fort that were like rubbish dumps, at the crooked watchtowers that seemed likely to collapse, at the two eight-oxen crossbows that were almost just decorations, and the smell of sourness in the fort was enough to make him nervous.

The smell is so suffocating that one's face immediately collapses to the bottom.

"Is this a damn place where people live? Is this the most important frontline fortress of the Dingbian Army?" Xin Jian also widened his eyes and shook his head repeatedly. "Hey, where is Assistant Luo?"

"I just couldn't stand the smell here, so I climbed back to the top of the castle." He Zheng said with a smile. "How can he stand the smell?"

While he was talking, Luo Gang staggered down from the top of the castle again, but there were two pieces of silk stuffed in his two nostrils.

"You two, let's stop complaining and get down to business." He said in a low voice.

"The Assistant is right, please give me your instructions!" The two generals clasped their fists together.

"Shall I give you an order?" Luo Gang has been hanging out with these soldiers for a long time, and now he often spits out sweet things. "I don't understand anything, how can I give you orders? Leave twenty people for me, and I will take them.

Let’s tidy up this fort so that it can at least be inhabited by people, right? This, this is a dog, I’m afraid it’s too dirty, right?”

Xin Jian and He Zheng looked at each other, and Xin Jian said: "General He, you take a team of people to the surrounding area to find out the situation, mark key locations and set up sentry posts. I will take the remaining people and rely on them."

A large camp was set up in the military fort so that the advance officer could move in directly after arriving with the large group of troops in the evening."

"Yes!" He Zheng did not refuse and left directly.

Xin Jian knew that his experience in war was far inferior to that of He Zheng, so he gave the task of patrolling and scouting to He Zheng, while he led others to prepare for the most basic work.

Even though his nose was stuffed with silk cloth, Luo Gang couldn't help but retched several times. He had to rush to a ventilated position and take a few deep breaths to relieve his chest, which felt like it was about to explode.

This is the dirtiest place he has ever seen.

To put it bluntly, my own toilet is cleaner than this one.

He has also been to the military camp in Tianmen Village. It is extremely neat and clean. All objects are placed in fixed positions and are meticulous. In Xiao Ding's words, his soldiers, even if they are in the dark, their eyes are closed.

You can know where your weapons, armor and various objects are placed.

As for the health of the military camp in Tianmen Village, Luo Gang heard that Xiao Chongwen, the second son of the Xiao family, made a booklet specifically for his eldest brother. There were hundreds of detailed rules and regulations. Xiao Ding also spent more than a year on it.

Only then did he suppress the habits of his soldiers.

After seeing the military camp in Tianmen Village, and then looking at what was in front of me, no wonder Luo Gang was not used to it.

Although Luo Gang worked for a while and rushed out to get some air, the twenty soldiers who followed him still admired him very much.

Who is Luo Gang? He is the son of the Prime Minister of Dongfu, and he is a scholar.

Compared with the censor who went to Tianmen Village last time, his status is definitely higher and his status is definitely more valuable. But that censor always walks with his nostrils turned upward and doesn't like to look at them sideways, let alone

It's like working hard to clean and clean like a servant.

Look at the young master of the husband's family, it's different. Is it any wonder that I can be a husband?

It's really different.

All kinds of garbage were quickly cleared out. Buckets of clean water were lifted from the deep well in the fortress, then poured on the ground, and then mopped clean with mops. The cleared garbage was piled up.

Come together and set it on fire.

An hour later, although the entire Shentang Castle still looked shabby on the outside, it had completely changed inside. There was a faint smell of water in the air, and the stone paved floor was cleaned cleanly.

, every room is also bright and bright, and it has restored the appearance of a military camp.

Luo Gang sat on the well platform, wiping his sweat and breathing heavily. Previously, he couldn't smell the smell inside, so he kept shaking the pot on the well platform to get water. In the end, both arms felt numb.

Already.

"Deputy Luo, please put some space between your vests. It's cold now and your clothes are wet. It's easy to catch a cold." An older soldier came over with a piece of cloth and said. "Don't worry, Deputy Luo, this is me."

It’s been washed, but it’s still useless!”

"It doesn't matter if you use it!" Luo Gang laughed, stood up and said: "Come and help me do it, don't mention it, I feel cold in my vest right now!"

"Then you have to separate it quickly!" The old soldier carefully helped Luo Gang put the dry cloth into his vest and pulled it flat.

Seeing the old soldier leave with satisfaction, Luo Gang couldn't help but sigh. Chongwen was right. It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. If he didn't go out for this trip, how could he have seen so many things?

Will there be a fierce fight with these people at the bottom of society?

In the past, Luo Gang didn't think highly of such people.

It's just that with his status, he doesn't need to show such emotions. He has very few opportunities to interact with people of this class.

After getting to know them more, Luo Gang discovered that these people at the lowest level are truly the simplest and most innocent people. A little kindness can make them flattered, and if you are a little more approachable to them, they will treat you better.

Respect from the heart. If you give them a little benefit, they will be eager to repay you with their whole heart.

"This is how I feel comfortable living!" Luo Gang couldn't help but be shaken when he remembered that when he was helping his father in the study, his old man often guessed someone's thoughts, guessed what someone's purpose was for doing something, and how he would respond.

Shake his head.

"Thank you, have you all rested? After you have rested, quickly light a fire, light up the furnace, heat up hot water, and make ginger soup. The brothers outside are much more tired than us." Luo Gang shook his head.

With some numb arms, he vigorously shook the pot and pulled up a bucket of water, placed it on the edge of the well, and then roared at the top of his lungs.

"Here it comes, Assistant, here it comes!" A soldier trotted over: "The stove has been cleared and the fire is burning, but there is not enough firewood."

"Brothers are setting up camp outside. You can take someone to pick up those unused branches and branches." Luo Gang ordered.

After carrying two more buckets of water, he felt that his arms could no longer use their strength at all. Luo Gang gave up and walked around the various rooms in the castle before going up to the top of the castle again.

The old soldier who had given him a vest earlier was repairing the Eight Ox Crossbow with a broken chassis with a small ax and chisel.

"Do you know how to do carpentry?" Luo Gang approached with interest.

The old soldier laughed and said, "Assistant, it is because of this skill that I was not kicked out of the military camp. Otherwise, at my age, I should have gone home to farm. Now during the war, everyone despises me.

You’re such a drag, you don’t even want to play with me anymore!”

"It's good to have skills. With this skill, I won't be afraid of traveling all over the world!" Luo Gang said. "Is there any way to save this thing?"

"Yes, but the base is broken. I will definitely be able to repair it before dark." The old soldier said, "As for that one, I have no choice. I have to ask a blacksmith to fix it."

"It would be nice to have one." Luo Gang said, the Eight Ox Crossbow is indeed very powerful, but the last time it took dozens of people to help, it took a long time to fire it once. It is a strategic deterrent weapon.

"You go about your business and don't worry about me."

Standing on the top of the fort, looking at the large open space outside the fort, its appearance has changed drastically. Under the leadership of Xin Jian, a simple camp is gradually taking shape.

The cut down tree, which was as thick as a bowl, was sawed into a height of about one person, then planted in the dug trench, and then filled with soil. Small tree poles as thick as an arm were tied horizontally with rattan.

It is no longer something that can be shaken by human power.

Because it stands against the fort, there is no need to dig trenches or erect watchtowers, and tents began to be erected one by one. The Shentang Fort can be garrisoned with five hundred people at full capacity, and the Guangrui Army brought by Xiao Cheng

There are more than a thousand people, and there will definitely be no room for them in the castle. For a long time, everyone will have to stay in tents.

While Zheng Zi was watching, there was the sound of horse hoofbeats in the distance, but it was He Zheng who was leading his men back.

"How's it going? Did you find anything?" Luo Gang asked when the three of them gathered together.

"Nothing was found!" He Zheng spread his hands and said.

Luo Gang couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

Xin Jian's expression was a little solemn, "You didn't even see anyone?"

He Zheng nodded: "So, there is a ghost! This is an important road, the most convenient passage for the people in Hengshan to come in and out. This can be seen from the use of the road, but now, there are even people
