Newly recruited soldiers are usually not sent directly to the battlefield. They must be trained for ten days to half a month.
But if there is an emergency, you can only be thrown up directly, and the rest is left to fate.
The weather was beginning to cool, and both the Great Chu Dynasty and the Keshi Tribe were preparing for winter. Even in good years, the Keshi Tribe had often interfered, let alone this famine. The cattle and sheep on their grasslands were nearly starving to death.
The Kosh tribe is a nomadic herder with very little food. Besides relying mainly on meat, they also enjoy stealing food from neighboring tribes.
They were a very unpleasant tribe. However, since most of the people were strong and powerful, and there were a large number of them, there was nothing anyone could do about them. They could only resort to the strategy of "fighting with force and defending with earth."
During this period, Red Sun City had increased its training time significantly, because given the nature of the Keshi tribe, they were sure to cause a major event soon.
Wen Xi and the others were doing quite well, especially Wen Xi, who was assigned to the small kitchen because of her excellent cooking skills. This meant she cooked for the commanders of the military battalions, though most of the time she only cooked for the captains and sergeants of the sub-battalions.
The fat man watched Wen Xi's quickness and felt a sense of appreciation for her talent, so he said:
"It's ready. You can deliver it today."
Huaqiang, who was about to take over, felt a little embarrassed. You know, this kind of thing usually has to be done by yourself.
I couldn't help but curse in my heart, "What's wrong with this fat guy today? Has he forgotten that I am the sergeant's cousin?"
The fat man didn't even look at him and urged:
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and send it over, or the food will get cold soon."
Wen Xi accepted this sentiment and smiled sweetly:
"Okay, Uncle Fatty, I'm very quick! I'll definitely get this done."
After saying that, he picked up the basket of rice, stepped over Huaqiang and walked out quickly.
Each battalion had a centurion, two corporals, and five teams. The highest-ranking officer was the centurion. Above the centurion were the deputy battalion commander and the battalion commander.
A battalion has about five to six hundred people, and each sub-battalion has about a hundred people.
The place is so small, and although Wen Xi has only been here for a few days, he already knows almost everything he needs to know.
Chen Jie, the centurion of the First Battalion, was considered the battalion commander's confidant, and therefore held considerable influence in Hongri City. He was a very righteous man, though a bit rough.
When Wen Xi entered the room to deliver the food, she glanced up briefly. Besides the people from the first battalion, there were a few unfamiliar faces. They seemed to be having a heated discussion.
Those strangers were none other than Deputy Battalion Commander Qin and Battalion Commander Zhao Kuo who had helped him.
Deputy Battalion Commander Qin saw Wen Xi and pointed to the table next to him:
"Just put it there for now! We can eat it later when we're done."
Wen Xi nodded with his head down, then walked out mechanically.
The words that just entered my ears were still replaying in my mind.
"The bandits that haunt Chuanshan County are going through Hongri City to trade with the Keshi tribe."
This sentence lingered in my ears for a long time.
Could it be that group of people?
This thought shook Wen Xi like crazy.
Wen Xi held her breath and slowed down her pace, hoping to get more information. Unfortunately, she only vaguely heard the words "a division camp" and "ambush."
People who practice martial arts have sharp ears and eyes. Wen Xi didn't dare to stay any longer and hurried back.
But he was absent-minded the whole day, which made the fat master frown.
Ye Erniang also noticed Wen Xi's abnormality, and quickly asked for leave for her and brought her back to her resting place.
"Xi'er, what's wrong with you today? Why are you so absent-minded?"
"Ah? Oh, it's okay, Master. I'm probably a little tired today. I just need to rest for a while."
Seeing that she was reluctant to speak, Ye Erniang didn't force her, but she could not help but pay a little more attention to her.
She found that whenever there was a large-scale assembly in the first camp, she could not help but follow and watch. Until one sudden assembly order was blown in the first camp, almost the entire camp was summoned.
Wen Xi somehow got mixed in with them.
Ye Erniang had been paying attention to her, and when she noticed something unusual, she followed her.
