At the beginning of January, Liaodong was still a land of ice and snow, Pei Xingjian stood in front of the big camp gate outside Yingzhou City, looking at a camp next to him that was pulling out the camp, and then a team of soldiers left one after another, leaving only an empty camp.

"This group of Hedong troops has only been here for a month and has been transferred to the front line, when will it be our turn?" At this moment, I only heard a whirring voice next to me say angrily.

"Brother Zhou, you have been to the military academy for a few years, why hasn't your temper been restrained in the slightest?" When Pei Xingjian heard this, he turned his head and smiled, only to see that the person who spoke was a burly strong man, wearing iron armor and an iron helmet, standing there like an iron tower.

This tower-like strong man surnamed Zhou Mingjin, originally a team leader under Su Dingfang, a few years ago, because of his bravery, he was recommended by Su Dingfang to study in the military academy for a few years, and he just graduated from the military academy last year, and he was still assigned to Su Dingfang's subordinates, but his official position was promoted to captain, and he usually has a good relationship with Pei Xingjian.

"I don't care what my temper is in the military academy, I only teach us the ability to march and fight, but it's really aggrieved to say, it's obvious that our brothers have been in Liaodong for a few years, and it was not easy for Goguryeo's strength to weaken so much, but now it's being cheapened by others!" Zhou Jin said angrily again at this time.

In fact, not only Zhou Jin thought so, but also the soldiers under Su Dingfang thought so during this time, because after Cheng Yanjin and Li Ji and others came to Liaodong, everyone knew that the imperial court was going to do something to Goguryeo, especially the soldiers under Su Dingfang, who had worked hard for several years before, and now they are waiting for this season to harvest fruits.

However, what Zhou Jin and these soldiers never expected was that a month ago, Li Ji commanded the army to attack from all fronts in Liaodong, breaking through several defense lines of Goguryeo in one fell swoop, and now they are steadily advancing in the direction of Pyongyang, and the army in the rear is also constantly marching into Goguryeo, but waiting and waiting, the army under Su Dingfang has not made any movement, which makes Zhou Jin and others not in a hurry?

"Brother Pei, you are a student of the general, and you can talk better than us, so can you inquire for us and see when it will be our turn, after all, there was no preparation on the Goguryeo side at the beginning, and it was a good time to pick up military merits, and when the Goguryeo people reacted in the future, I am afraid that there will only be some hard bones left." Zhou Jin suddenly came to Pei Xingjian's side at this time and whispered, don't look at his rude appearance, but in fact, he is not stupid at all, otherwise he would not have been recommended by Su Dingfang to study in the military academy.

"This ......" Pei Xingjian hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go and inquire, but I see that the general doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and it seems that he has been mentally prepared, so I guess the general must know something?" ”

"It makes sense for you to say this, this time it is General Cheng as the main general, and we and the general have followed General Cheng to fight the party members before, and they are his old subordinates, so he shouldn't forget us, maybe there are really other arrangements." Zhou Jin nodded immediately when he heard Pei Xingjian's words, his limbs are developed, and his mind is also very developed, and even Su Dingfang once said that as long as Zhou Jin does not die on the battlefield, he will definitely be promoted to the position of captain in two years, and then he will be in charge of the army of the first government.

Pei Xingjian was actually a little anxious in the past two days, after all, he watched one team after another drive into Goguryeo, but nothing happened to them, and he was now married, and when he left Chang'an, Wanniang was also pregnant, which made him feel that the responsibility on his shoulders was heavier.

Thinking of this, Pei Xingjian no longer wasted time, and immediately stepped back to the camp, Su Dingfang's tent was located in the middle of the camp, and it was almost noon, when Pei Xingjian came to Su Dingfang's tent, he had not yet entered, and he smelled a tempting fragrance, but when he opened the cotton curtain and went in, he found that on the stove in the tent, a hot pot was emitting steam, and the room was full of the smell of hot pot.

"You came just in time to keep the promise, and I was about to ask someone to call you, come in and eat hot pot with me, it's so comfortable to eat hot on this cold day!" Su Dingfang walked out of the inner tent with a plate of cut mutton at this time, and when he saw Pei Xingjian, he immediately greeted enthusiastically, Liaodong is bitterly cold, and drinking alcohol is forbidden in the military camp, so Su Dingfang's biggest hobby is to eat hot pot, this method is still passed from Li Xiu, and after having chili peppers, it adds a lot of charm to the hot pot.

Pei Xingjian just had something to talk about with Su Dingfang, so he was not polite, he agreed with a smile at the moment, and then helped Su Dingfang prepare side dishes, speaking of which, the conditions here in Liaodong are indeed not very good, and eating a hot pot before was like the New Year, but some time ago, the imperial court transported a large number of materials here, which suddenly improved their conditions a lot.

Several large plates of mutton, in addition to the big fish cut from the nearby lake, the most precious is a Chinese cabbage, although the cabbage is nothing in Chang'an, but there are few people in Liaodong here, want to eat can only be transported from other places, although the cabbage is stored in winter, but it is still not easy to transport, so the cabbage is not something that everyone can eat.

The lamb bones are the base, and after the soup boils, Su Dingfang pours the mutton and fish into it and cooks it, which is said to be fresher to eat, because the fresh word is the combination of fish and sheep. Pei Xingjian chatted with Su Dingfang for a few words, and then said: "General, the Hedong Army stationed next to us has also left, and I don't know how General Li fought in front?" ”

"General Li is fighting very well in front, and I have good news for you here!" I saw Su Dingfang roll a piece of half-cooked mutton in the chili powder at this time, and then stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.

"Good news? Could it be that General Cheng has come to order us to go to the front? Pei Xingjian couldn't help but show an excited expression when he heard this, and asked with an excited expression, now for them, only this news can be called good news.

"The order is true, but it is not for us, but for General Zhang Liang Zhang of Dengzhou, General Cheng has ordered them to go to sea from Dengzhou and directly kill Beisha City in Goguryeo, when the former Sui Dynasty was in the past, Laihu'er had broken through Beisha City, and this time it will be up to General Zhang!" Su Dingfang said with a smile at this time.

"Huh? It's not for us, so what's the good news? Pei Xingjian couldn't help but show a disappointed expression when he heard Su Dingfang's words.

"Haha~, look at your disappointed look, but I can tell you that General Zhang's order is really good news for us!" Su Dingfang smiled mysteriously at this time, in fact, from the time Pei Xingjian came in, he guessed the other party's purpose, and those just now were just to catch the other party's appetite.
