Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 512
This number of people is naturally not enough to deal with the party members, but from here to the hinterland of the Song Dynasty and the various military towns on both sides, there are beacon towers connected. When encountering the enemy, they will burn wolf smoke during the day and light beacon fires at night. When Zhenjunzhai was attacked, the rest of the stations immediately either sent troops to wipe out the enemy, or closed the doors and locked them, and sealed off the whole city, waiting for the army to be dispatched from the rear to help.But now a large number of Dangxiang cavalry has arrived, but the beacon fire in Balipo has not been ignited.

Xia Chuntian's surname is Xia, and her first name is Chunchun.He was a squad leader of the Song Army guarding the Balipo Beacon Tower, and there were ten people under him. Although he was not considered an officer, he was still considered a leader.Bingtou Xiachun supervised ten soldiers, divided them into five squads of two soldiers, and waited day and night on the three-foot-high beacon tower.

In the past few years, the Junyi Junzhen on the front line of the northwest had some frictions, large and small, with the Dangxiang people, Tubo people, Huihe people, and Khitan people every year. Junyi Beacon Towers are often not used once in more than ten years.In the past few years, the Song State has become stronger and stronger, and the Dangxiang people have surrendered. The Tubo and Huihe people dare not make mistakes. It has not been lit for more than a year.

However, any matter, even if it is very important, if the year-round peace has not really played a role, then those who implement it will inevitably feel slack. Xia Chuntian, who guards the beacon tower, has already put This most important thing has become the easiest thing.

Xia Chuntian is 47 years old this year. As a veteran with no achievements, his promotion is extremely slow.In a few years, he will be disarmed and return to the field. He is still just a small squad leader, and his only job is to patrol the beacon tower all day. Although there is no oil or water, it is very easy.

Last spring, his mother-in-law died of illness, and one of his daughters was married long ago, so Lao Xia was left alone. Occasionally, when he got sick, he had to entrust those lavish auxiliary soldiers to help cook the soup. Eat, life is really bleak.But since two days ago, he felt that his life was moving forward, so that no matter who he met all day long, he was always smiling, and the crow's feet in the corners of his eyes were piled up because he picked up a daughter-in-law.

Three days ago, when he saw that pretty, tall, charming widow in her early twenties, several of his off-duty auxiliary soldiers were teasing the widow.

Xia Chuntian went up to ask the reason, and found out that the widow came here from a disaster in Hexi all the way. All her family members starved to death on the way. Someone in the caravan who came to the northwest to do business wanted to tie her up and sell her to a brothel in Gyeongju City. She was forced to escape and fled all the way to Balipo.Although not many people fled to the northwest because of the disaster in Hexi these days, there are some, Xia Chuntian is not surprised at all.

Look at this juicy widow, Xia Chuntian suddenly had an inexplicable thought, and there was nothing to guard against, Xia Chuntian stopped the auxiliary soldiers who molested the widow, and led the widow to her residence to settle down.The soldiers guarding the Beacon Tower couldn't help being amazed that the old squad leader who had always been timid and greedy, and who loved to take advantage of small things, actually showed kindness?

"Crap, when did I ever do good deeds? If you do good deeds, you will go to hell." Xia Chuntian squatted in the yard and said with a smile.There were two auxiliary soldiers who were not on duty squatting next to them, and the three of them were squatting there in a dragon formation.

"It's deserted at home." Xia Chuntian sighed, turned to look at her own house, and smiled again: "But this widow is different as soon as she moves in, she immediately becomes popular, you two look, my little one The courtyard is so clean now, hey! The room is brighter, and when it’s time to eat, I don’t have to go to the restaurant across the street to pick a bite, and I can have hot food as soon as I enter the room.”

"Oh, I'll just say it! Boss, when did you become so kind? You're really smart. If you take this widow as your daughter, you will be taken care of inside and outside your house, and will be taken care of when you get old."

"What the hell, why do you want a daughter? My own daughter married more than 200 miles away, and it's rare to come back. If you can't count on it, why take a daughter?"

Xia Chunchun smiled even happier: "It's not that you haven't seen that widow is handsome, although she is a widow, but her small appearance, that figure, and those watery peach eyes, tsk tsk tsk, let people take a look, even the bones It's all crispy"

Xia Chunchun narrowed her eyes with a smile, and said with a sigh of relief: "Everyone in this widow's family is dead and has nowhere to go. Now they are all relying on me. I am thinking about it. After a few days, I will get to know you better." Tell the widow to take her as my fill-in house, my mother-in-law has been dead for more than a year, and there is no one in the house, and it is really deserted."

"No way, old squad leader!" An auxiliary soldier laughed and said, "Can the girl agree? Don't you look at how old you are, and you are worthy of such a juicy girl?"

Xia Chuntian said disapprovingly: "Fuck, I'm a bit older, but I know it hurts, don't I? She finally found a place to stay, and she still has the heart to go? Besides, eat me, live me Yes, I want to leave when the time comes, yes, let’s do the math even with interest, hey, does she still have any money?"

Xia Chuntian sighed contentedly, and murmured: "At that time, I will feel at ease. After visiting the Beacon Tower in heavy snow and cold weather, once I go back to the house, I will have hot food and tea, and there will be flowers. A young woman stripped like a little white sheep warms my bed. It’s beautiful to think about. Hey, tell me, I’m a good name. Although winter hasn’t passed yet, I’m The spring is here"

Xia Chuntian was thinking beautifully, when he heard a horn sounding in the distance, Xia Chunchun was startled for a moment, then stood up suddenly, raised his neck and shouted to the beacon tower: "What happened? What's the matter?" ?”

There was no sound on the beacon tower, Xia Chuntian jumped up and scolded: "You bastard, you can sleep lazily during the guard duty? If something serious happens, I will peel you off."

A soldier next to him persuaded: "Xia Touer, if someone came to the door in broad daylight, wouldn't the gatekeepers of the city be blind? It's time to call the police. Don't worry, I'll climb up and hit the door." Take a look around, it’s probably because those Dangxiang’s dog days have nothing to eat in the winter, and they came to the grass valley again, I guess there are more people coming this time.” He said and hurried to the escalator.
