159 Lights (5th Watch)
Xiao Ruxun wrote a letter early in the morning for people to take back to Beijing to his father and beloved wife, conveying to them the regret of not being able to go home for the New Year, and asking about Caiyun's pregnancy, and yesterday, his father's letter also arrived in Daying, the letter said that Caiyun is about to give birth in more than three months, so that he should not worry, he should be a grandfather to handle affairs, so that Xiao Ruxun can fight with peace of mind and not be distracted by family affairs.

Caiyun also wrote a letter, telling Xiao Ruxun that everything was fine, asking him not to be distracted by his own affairs, the supreme glory when fighting for the country, don't be distracted, etc., there is not a word in the whole article about unhappy things, which makes Xiao Ruxun feel particularly guilty.
At this time, even if it is not going well, they will not say it, for fear that they will be distracted and unable to win the battle.
This also made Xiao Ruxun's heart even more concerned about his father and beloved wife, as well as his unborn child.
"Admiral! The meat is roasted, let's eat a little! ”
Luo Shangzhi walked into the handsome tent, holding a big bone in his hand, and was biting hard: "This mutton tastes really good!" ”
Xiao Ruxun smiled, nodded and stood up, and said, "Okay!" I'm here to try your craft, I usually eat something, and the bird can fade out of my mouth! ”
Luo Shangzhi smiled and took Xiao Ruxun to the open space where the officers gathered to celebrate, and everyone celebrated together.
The bonfires here are red and red, dispelling the cold of the winter night, and the people under the bonfires are singing and dancing, celebrating the festivals that belong to you, me and him, nibbling flatbread, tearing roast leg of lamb, and gulping wine syrup, as if this is not a battlefield, but their respective hometowns, and they are not surrounded by comrades-in-arms, but the closest family members.
Xiao Ruxun rolled the lamb with a flatbread and chewed it in a big mouthful, eating while drinking fish soup, from time to time there were generals who came to persuade him to drink, Xiao Ruxun was not easy to refuse, and drank it hard, and then even said that he was too strong to drink too much, buried himself in eating flatbread, and made the generals laugh more than then - Admiral Xiao is notoriously not good at drinking, and some generals privately arranged that Admiral Xiao said that Admiral Xiao himself would not drink before prohibiting alcohol so strictly, in case he made a fool of himself.
So that people who can fight can't drink alcohol, which makes the big-headed soldiers laugh.
Li Rusong is a wine jar, directly holding the wine jar to the mouth of the altar "pause" to pour wine, it seems that drinking not wine but air, a jar poured down without the slightest drunkenness, but shouted "happy", and then carried the wine jar everywhere to provoke, no one dared to fight.
Then Luo Shangzhi was not convinced, decisively responded to the battle, and Li Rusong began to fight for wine, surrounded by a circle of senior officers, the two of them each slapped open the wine seal and began to pour it into their mouths.
Xiao Ruxun also called the Korean generals under his command in Jeolla Province to celebrate the New Year together, Li Rusong drank Luo Shangzhi down here, and came to trouble the Koreans over there, and picked up the Korean general Kwon Li to fight for wine, and Kwon Li, who was born in the aristocratic gentry, was so frightened that Li Rusong's face turned pale, and he repeatedly excused himself and said that he was not good at drinking.
Xiao Ruxun hurriedly stepped forward to relieve him of the siege, and then kicked Zhao Hu, who was immersed in eating meat, to fight with Li Rusong, the North Korean generals are generally in awe of the great tomorrow who has won a big battle, at this time to see the famous General Li Rusong so rough, admiration but also deep fear, no one dared to drink with him, fortunately Xiao Ruxun broke the siege in time, so as to avoid making jokes.
Looking at such a hot scene, Xiao Ruxun ate the meat and drank the fish soup, so he quietly left here, walked to one of the sentry towers outside the barracks, climbed up, and saw three sentries standing guard in the cold wind, monitoring the Japanese military camp.
In order to prevent the raid of the Japanese robbers, Xiao Ruxun still prepared a mobile force to fight at any time, and these sentries also belonged to the same sequence, so they could not participate in the sequence of the rest of the soldiers' carnival.
"Admiral!"
A sentry noticed Xiao Ruxun who was walking slowly and hurriedly saluted, and the other two sentries also quickly stood up straight.
Xiao Ruxun smiled slightly: "Very good, seeing that you are not slacking off, the governor is relieved, is there any movement in the city?" ”
The sentry shook his head: "There is no movement, the lights are faint, there is no sound, according to your orders, the sentry has not slackened, there is no news, the Japanese are probably nested in the Japanese city and dare not move." ”
Xiao Ruxun nodded, looked at the Wacheng not far away, and found that there were indeed only sporadic fireworks, compared with the brightly lit grand occasion of the Ming Dynasty, the Wako side seemed to be really no longer energetic, Xiao Ruxun still remembered that at this time, the festival customs of the Wako were still somewhat similar to the Daming, at least New Year's Day was still the same day, and when they celebrated the New Year's Day of the Gregorian calendar, it was after the Meiji Restoration.
But even so, I can't see any celebratory posture from the Japanese Kou, it seems that they are beaten like this, and they are embarrassed to even celebrate the festival.
"Okay." Xiao Ruxun looked at the three sentries and smiled: "Give you half an hour, go drink some wine and eat some meat!" I'll watch it for you. ”
"Huh?!"
"This ......"
The sentinels looked confused.
"Okay, let's go, hurry up, I'll be back as soon as half an hour arrives, and I'll keep an eye on it for you."
The sentinels looked at each other, excited and excited.
"Admiral Xie!"
After saying that, the three of them couldn't wait to leave the sentry tower and rush to the brightly lit place in the camp.
Xiao Ruxun turned his head to look at the sea of Wacheng and Busan, the wind here, there is a little bit of the smell of the sea, it doesn't smell very good, it's cold and cold, this blow, it blew away the strength of the wine that had just drunk a little more, and stood silently on the sentry tower, thinking about the little bit of his journey from Ningxia to North Korea, and the situation he was facing, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
The first step of the so-called Long March, probably that's it, right? Obviously achieved an extremely brilliant victory, but he didn't feel the joy of victory at all, because he knew very well what he would face later, as soon as he thought of this, Xiao Ruxun couldn't help but sigh deeply.
"Alas......"
"Why, will the Admiral also sigh? Ouch ......"
A familiar voice sounded, Xiao Ruxun looked back, and saw that half of Yuan Huang's body was exposed, and he was climbing up with some difficulty, Xiao Ruxun hurriedly walked over and pulled Yuan Huang up, complaining: "How old are you, and you still climb so high?" We mingle every day, but I'm only twenty-three, and you're sixty, my great military advisor! ”
"The old man doesn't like to listen to such words! When the old man was young, he also did it with a real knife and a real gun! ”
Yuan Huang looked unhappy: "Huang Zhong can still kill Xiahou Yuan at seventy, Lian Po can still be on the horse at eighty, even if Guan Yu is sixty when he defeats the battle, he can still raise 30,000 troops to fight Wu Wei, what?" Looking down on the old man? ”
"How dare you!" Xiao Ruxun smiled bitterly: "It's just that it's a little too tall here, I'm afraid that your old body can't stand it, and it's quite fatal to fall anywhere if you freeze." ”
"Stop talking nonsense! Chen Luan, the chief soldier of the Navy Division who is about to come, is also sixty years old this year, what's the matter, do you still plan to change generals in battle? Yuan Huang rolled his eyes, took out an oiled paper bag from his arms, and when he opened it, it was a package of cut roast mutton, fragrant, and then pulled down two wine gourds from his waist, threw one to Xiao Ruxun, opened the other one himself, and poured a big sip.
"Tsk, yes, yes, it's a good wine! Try! ”
Xiao Ruxun shook his head with a smile, and also poured a sip of wine, the bitter taste was really a little uncomfortable, he couldn't understand why someone had good wine to that extent, and he didn't know what the aroma of wine was, what was the mellowness of wine......
Probably seeing Xiao Ruxun's melancholy, Yuan Huang picked up a piece of mutton and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, poured another sip of wine, and opened the conversation.
