    ww.x.om ¡°Kill! Kill! Kill!¡±

    Groups of soldiers, wearing the uniforms of the Silla Army, were training hard on the school grounds in the biting cold wind. Beside these soldiers, there were many instructors wearing Tang Dynasty-style armor. These instructors were carrying  When it comes to whips, any Silla soldier who dares to slack off at all will be whipped to the head and face, which can be said to be extremely strict.

    This is Dingchuan City, which is twenty miles south of Jincheng. It is the largest military town in the south of Jincheng. Like Kinmen City due west, it is one of the gateways of Jincheng. However, compared with the Golden Gate Guards in the west, Dingchuan City  Because it is blocking the road between Baekje and Jincheng, this military town is more important than Jinmeng, and the city is naturally larger and stronger.

    Because of its special geographical location, Jungcheon Fortress not only housed a large number of Silla troops in the past, but was also the largest training ground for the Silla Dynasty.  However, with the battle with Baekje, the troops in Dingchuan City were almost completely mobilized. When Jin Gengxin and Jin Chunqiu fled here, the reason why they did not defend the city was not only because they knew that the army of the Tang Dynasty could not be stopped here, but also  The lack of soldiers in the city was also a major reason.

    But today there are a large number of troops stationed in Dingchuan City, and most of them are Silla troops. These troops have just retreated from the front line in the past few days.

    Some time ago, Li Min used Hu Li as his general and led 10,000 elite troops borrowed from Zhang Jian south to the front line. He replaced all the Silla troops, and then gathered them all in Dingchuan City to disrupt and reorganize.  Instructors were selected from the Tang army to conduct formal training for these reorganized Silla armies.  The reason why Li Min did this was naturally to completely control the Silla army in his own hands.

    "You bunch of Silla bastards, it's fun to eat every day, but when it comes to training, you act like a girl, you all cheer me up, who dares to cheat on me to squeeze out his balls"

    A young Tang general walked forward vigorously while squinting at the training Silla soldiers and roared.  But before he finished speaking, he saw a Silla soldier next to him who waved his hand weakly. He probably couldn't even kill a chicken with one slash.  This immediately made the young Tang general furious. He ran a few steps and kicked the lazy Silla soldier three or four steps away.

    "You bastard, your team's dinner is cancelled, and the whole team will starve with this kid!" the young general said through gritted teeth.  He was originally a general in Pyongyang City.  Along with a group of brothers, he was borrowed by Li Min to help train soldiers.  Originally, he thought that following His Highness King Qi would be a good job, but now he found that the good job was indeed a good job, at least he would get a lot of money.  But the Silla soldiers he trained were so unsatisfactory that they couldn't even complete the most basic training. He was so angry that he cursed at his mother on the training ground every day. If it weren't for the generous reward, he would have really wanted to leave.  .

    Seeing this young general getting so angry.  Next to him, a middle-aged Tang general who was also an instructor smiled and said: "Commander Lin, calm down the fire. These Silla soldiers are not good at all. Your Highness is not so strict. You just need to make them look like soldiers."  .¡±

    When the young Captain Lin heard his colleague's words, he suppressed his anger and pointed at the Silla soldiers under his command: "Even so, His Highness does not expect these Silla soldiers to fight any big battles.  But I get angry when I see these guys who just eat and do nothing!"

    At this moment.  Another bearded Tang general came over and laughed loudly: "Brother Lin, it is a good thing that you are serious and responsible, but you must also divide people. No matter how loud you shout, it is useless if these Silla people can't understand.  !¡±

    The bearded Tang General¡¯s words finally hit the point.  Their usual communication with these Silla soldiers relied on the translators assigned to them by His Highness King Qi. However, because there were few translators, they were too busy to find anyone most of the time.  There happened to be no translator around them now. No wonder Captain Lin was shouting so loudly just now but it was of no use.

    "But the bearded general's words are obviously a bit absolute.  Just as the Tang generals were laughing and criticizing the ineffectiveness of their Silla soldiers, among the group of Silla soldiers who were training, there was a short Silla soldier who curled his lips, and at the same time, he was thinking about these soldiers.  The Tang general cursed in Silla dialect, but he did not dare to relax in the training.

    This Silla soldier can obviously understand Chinese, but he has no prominent background. He is just an ordinary Silla man. The reason why he can understand Chinese that only Silla nobles can learn is thanks to his previous experience in Jincheng.  That little restaurant.

    This Silla soldier¡¯s surname was Cui, and he was the leader in his family, so he was generally called Cui Da. There was also a brother named Cui Er in the family. In addition to the two brothers, there was also an old mother in the family, and both brothers were married. Cui Er  The eldest brother has two children, and the second brother has only one.son.

    Originally, their brothers lived in a restaurant. Because the food cooked in the restaurant was good, businessmen from the Tang Dynasty often came in to eat, so Cui Da slowly learned some Chinese. Although it was a little difficult to speak, there was no problem in understanding it.  question.  However, since the war with Baekje broke out this year, Cui Dae was very unlucky and was captured as a soldier. He managed to save his life on the battlefield. Now he has retired. He thought he could go home and reunite with his family, but unexpectedly  Being trained by these ferocious Tang generals.

    Cui Da couldn't help but curl his lips when he thought of the training during this period. In his opinion, these Tang generals were simply deliberately making things difficult for them. A simple slash with a sword had to be practiced fifty times a day, and he still held it with his hand.  How can anyone bear this heavy real sword?  It's a pity that Cui Da didn't know that chopping hundreds of times a day was a basic action for every soldier in the Tang army.

    After finally completing the training this afternoon, all the Silla soldiers who were being trained seemed to be paralyzed. They sat on the school field one by one and could not get up. Some unlucky recruits were ordered to fetch water, but every time the water was just brought.  , immediately attracted people around to grab it, and this naturally provoked the Tang generals to curse. Unfortunately, for these Silla people who could not understand the language, it had no great effect at all.

    "It's time to eat!" After a while, the sound of dinner drums was heard from the canteen. This made everyone energetic. I saw all the Silla soldiers who were like dead dogs just now jumped up one by one.  He got up and ran towards the cafeteria like a rabbit. In the blink of an eye, the entire campus was deserted.

    Mr. Cui has short calves, but his running speed is not slow. When he was fighting with the Baekje and Japanese people, they were scattered several times. Mr. Cui relied on his legs to escape his life. Now when he heard that  After eating, running is almost faster than the speed of escaping for one's life.

    In fact, it¡¯s not Cui Da¡¯s fault. When they were on the battlefield, they actually didn¡¯t have many full meals. At most, they could only eat a black thick-faced steamed bun before fighting the enemy. At other times, they could only eat  Can drink water.  But things are different now. Since they retreated to Dingchuan City, all their food and drink have been provided by His Highness King Qi from the Tang Dynasty. They can drink a bowl of thick noodle soup and two steamed buns for each meal, and occasionally mutton. Although  It's not comparable to the food of those Tang soldiers, but at least it's not a problem to be full.

    Cui Da devoured his portion, then patted his bulging belly and left the cafeteria with satisfaction.  There was no training at night, and Cui Da had no intention of wandering around. After all, he was already exhausted after training all day, so he simply returned to the barracks where he was staying and prepared to have a good sleep.

    But just as Cui Dagang lay down, he heard someone calling his name outside. When he came out and asked, he found out that it was someone outside the military camp who was looking for him, saying he was a member of his family.

    As soon as he heard the news, Cui Da immediately cheered up, jumped up and ran towards the camp gate.  As soon as he returned to Dingchuan City, he immediately sent a message to his family, telling them that he was still alive. Unexpectedly, someone from his family came to see him today, but he didn't know who it was?  Presumably it was his brother Cui Er. After all, he was the only man left in the family.

    However, when Cui Da ran to the gate of the camp, he found that it was not Cui Er but his wife, which made him feel a little strange.  However, when Cui Da's wife saw Cui Da, she immediately rushed over and cried and laughed. After all, not many men who go to the battlefield can come back, only one or two out of ten at most. Cui Da has been away for more than half a year, and he is still there.  Being able to come back safe and sound made Cui's daughter-in-law keep thinking about thanking Buddha and the like.

    The couple were naturally very happy to meet each other, but then Cui Da asked about the situation at home. It was supposed that his brother Cui Er was supposed to come to see him today, but he did not come. This made Cui Da feel a little scared, thinking that his second brother had met him.  What's going on?  But after hearing my wife's explanation, I was relieved.

    Cui Da had already guessed that the food at home was not enough to eat. In order to earn some food for the family, his brother Cui Er had been recruited by businessmen of the Tang Dynasty. It is said that he went to Datang to build a big city. It seems that  It's far south.  And the family also received the food that Cui Er worked for. Now the family has long been out of famine, which makes Cui Da feel relieved.

    Cui Da and his wife chatted for a long time, talking nothing more than common things. It was not until dark that the two of them moved into the special small tent provided for them in the military camp.  After all, ever since these Silla troops retreated from the front line, families have been coming here to look for relatives, and the military camps are also very humane. They even built some small tents to accommodate the family members who came to look for relatives.

    Cui Da's wife stayed in Dingchuan for a few days and then went back. In addition to visiting Cui Da and telling him about the situation at home, she also wanted to discuss with him that a Tang Dynasty businessman opened a business outside Jincheng.  There was a wool textile factory, and both she and Cui's second daughter-in-law wanted to work in it, although the food they earned was not as good asSecond, but it¡¯s a lot in total. They are all hungry, so it¡¯s good to save a little more food. But they are women after all, and if they want to go out to work, they must at least have the consent of the men in the family.

    Regarding this matter, Cui Da thought about it and only agreed to let Cui Da's daughter-in-law go alone, and let Cui's second daughter-in-law help take care of the children at home. In addition, after he completed the training, he heard that there would be military pay, which would also be able to subsidize the family.  , so there is no need for all the adults in the family to go out to work.

    And just when Cui Da and other Silla soldiers were stepping up their training, Bisha City in the southernmost part of Andong Protectorate finally welcomed a group of distinguished guests.
