The northern border pass is covered with snow, and there is a white scene at a glance, only the isolated city of the border pass is independent, which is an important town to defend against the Turks going south.

It's just that because of the winter, the soldiers are pale and all gather together, and they roast together to keep warm.

And Xue Rengui's team is one of them, the original army was only barely fed, and every harsh winter was a huge test for the soldiers at the border pass.

Fortunately, it was also because of the winter that they were able to breathe a sigh of relief, because the Turks in the north would not go south either.

Generally, if the Turks went south, they did so before winter, and at the latest in early winter.

Of course, compared to the soldiers at the border pass, Xue Rengui's squad brought enough food, at least it was not a problem to eat a full meal on Chinese New Year's Eve.

"Brother Xue, come and drink a bowl of hot porridge, even in Chang'an, it has never been so cold."

A voice came, with a hint of respect in his words, this person was none other than Qin Qiong's son Qin Huaiyu.

Although Qin Qiong sent his son to the grassland, it does not mean that Qin Qiong just wanted his son to die.

When he was in formation, Qin Qiong used his influence to line Qin Huaiyu into Xue Rengui's team.

Obviously, Xue Rengui was familiar with military books, coupled with his personal bravery, let Qin Qiong know that if anyone could come back from the grassland, then Xue Rengui must be one of them.

In the army, it is respected for personal bravery, and Xue Rengui has proven himself before, and this time the team is completely controlled by Xue Rengui in his own hands.

In fact, Xue Rengui has long known from his teacher that if he wants to control a team, the most important thing is to serve the public.

Along the way, Xue Rengui led by example in everything, and there were originally some soldiers who were dissatisfied with their hearts and gradually subsided.

"Huaiyu, did everyone else shout?"

Xue Rengui couldn't help but say out loud, obviously he was already very familiar with Qin Huaiyu in his words.

"Brother Xue, our team has shouted."

Qin Huaiyu replied without hesitation, perhaps under the influence of Xue Rengui, he is also not weak in everything.

This is not for Xue Rengui to compete for a long time, but only for the dignity of the second generation of Xungui, and the glory from his own father is not allowed to be discarded in his own hands.

After the words fell, Xue Rengui's face was silent for a while, and after coming to the border town, he realized how difficult these border soldiers were.

It's just that he is just a squad leader, and he doesn't even have a position, and he still needs to wait until he returns to Chang'an from the grassland to be considered a real soldier.

He can't control the others, Xue Rengui can only manage his own subordinates, not to mention that his group will have to set foot outside the gate in early spring.

Even if there was extra food, Xue Rengui could not distribute it to other soldiers, because it was irresponsible to his own subordinates.

Since he had brought out these Guannai disciples, it was his responsibility to bring them back safely, and the teachings of the teacher still sounded in his mind from time to time.

"The teacher prepared a lot of bundles for me, and took them out on Chinese New Year's Eve to give one or two pieces to the brothers."

Xue Rengui's voice continued to sound, and Qin Huaiyu's eyes couldn't help but light up, knowing that his father had only prepared some dry food for himself.

I didn't expect that Brother Xue still had such a thing as a bundle, you must know that in this era, meat is lacking, let alone made into jerky.

Soon, Xue Rengui's team gathered around the fire, although there were only less than twenty horsemen, but all of them turned red.

Even Qin Huaiyu had a lot of difficulty eating meat last time, let alone these ordinary soldiers.

After adding a few pieces of bacon to the ordinary porridge, it became a bowl of meat porridge, which was almost never seen in the border town.

It was only after a few victories that the soldiers could faintly smell some of the meat.

"It's a pity that it's not in Chang'an, otherwise Rengui will definitely invite you brothers to have a good meal."

Xue Rengui sat on the south-facing position and couldn't help but think silently, and after drinking a bowl of porridge silently, he couldn't help but think of the Chinese New Year's Eve in previous years.

Before he met his teacher, he spent Chinese New Year's Eve alone, and every year he envied and watched other people's family reunions.

It's just that his parents died early, and the family has been alone, and after worshipping the teacher, he gradually felt the meaning of Chinese New Year's Eve.

Every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, he would accompany his teacher, watching the lively scene of the second brother and others in Shu Mansion, and after thinking of this, the corners of Xue Rengui's mouth couldn't help but raise slightly.

"Brother Xue, why don't you tell the story of An Xuangong."

Just as Xue Rengui's thoughts were flying, Qin Huaiyu's coaxing voice couldn't help but remember.

In fact, Qin Huaiyu has only heard of this An Xuangong and has not seen anyone, but it does not prevent him from being interested in his heart.

As for the ordinary soldiers, there was a hint of expectation on their faces, knowing that this was the world-famous An Xuangong.

For Xue Rengui, they also knew his identity, An Xuangong's students actually embarked on the road of joining the army, if they were replaced by them, they would definitely not choose like this.

This is also one of the reasons why they admire Xue Rengui, Xue Rengui's face was stunned, but then he nodded.

In Xue Rengui's eyes, his teacher is definitely a real saint, and he started from the time he first met his teacher.

Slowly chose to join the army, and the case stories given by the teacher to his generals gradually attracted many soldiers to listen to the stories.

As time went by, more and more people gathered, and they couldn't help but listen carefully to what Xue Rengui said.

The name An Xuangong has been heard even among the soldiers in the border towns, but they don't have much impression of the specifics.

And Xue Rengui's explanation made them clear what kind of person An Xuangong was and what he had done.

Especially when I heard that tens of thousands of people gathered to listen to An Xuangong's lecture every time, this couldn't help but make many soldiers make up their minds that they would have the opportunity to listen to it in the future.

Shu An didn't know that because of Xue Rengui, his story began to circulate in the border town.

Know that he is a man who does not take risks, so every time he chooses a place to teach, he does not put himself in danger.

The border town area has never been to him, and he didn't expect such a surprise because of Xue Rengui's storytelling.

Shu An, who was originally among the generals, did not have much influence, but after planting a seed, it seemed to gradually blossom and bear fruit.

Xue Rengui kept telling the story of his teacher's return to Chang'an Lingyan Pavilion, which was the first time he entered the palace to see His Majesty.

In particular, the inscription of Lingyan Pavilion made the blood of countless soldiers boil, you must know that although it was circulated before, it was limited to the world's scholars, and the words of the people would not care about this.

As for the sergeants and soldiers in the army, no one told them this inscription, and now with Xue Rengui's story, many soldiers have secretly remembered it.
