Xie Shizi's shameless daily life

Yuzhou.

The strategy proposed by Xie Jin caused the Hu people to lose a lot of soldiers without losing a single soldier on our side. Zhao Yao and his men were happy for several days. However, their happiness came and went quickly. Within a few days, the Hu people regrouped and attacked Zhao Yao and his men.

Beacon fires and smoke, spears whistling, Xie Jin held a long tassel, thrust it into the chest of the Hu man, lifted it up with one hand and threw it out. Corpses were everywhere, and the dead soldiers were piled up like a small hill. The smell of blood was everywhere. Xie Jin could leave a mark on the blood-soaked sand with one foot.

Seven or eight Hu people surrounded Xie Jin. Because the young man was too ferocious and bloody when killing people, these people did not dare to go up to him for a while and could only surround him.

Xie Jin's armor was covered in blood, and his face was also stained with blood. He looked at the group of barbarians with cold eyes.

Those barbarians suppressed their fear and rushed towards Xie Jin with swords in hand. Xie Jin turned his wrist, tightly grasped the spear, and leaned back sharply. He slid in front of the barbarians and passed by them sharply and quickly.

Xie Jin stood up with the gun in his hand. The seven or eight barbarians looked at him in horror, and then his upper body separated from his lower body.

Xie Jin stepped over the corpses of those people and rushed towards the next enemy with a spear in hand.

The war went on and on, and there were more and more earth mounds on the back mountain. After a bloody battle, Xie Jin and his men would return to the battlefield, carry back the bodies wearing their army's unique armor on carts, on their backs, and bury them in the back mountain. If there were any intact dead soldiers among them, they would ask someone to identify them and erect a simple tombstone for them. If they were unrecognizable, they would just sprinkle a thin layer of soil on them without a grave.

Xie Jin compacted the soil with a shovel, and Zhao Nanyu also shoveled up the last pile of soil. The two of them threw the shovels away and sat under the shade of the tree.

Xie Jin looked at the piles of dirt with great interest, nudged Zhao Nanyu with his elbow, pointed to a spot next to a dirt mound in the distance and said, "I've reserved that spot, don't grab it from me!"

Zhao Nanyu glanced at the spot he pointed at and sneered, "I don't want that spot. There are so many people coming and going, it's going to be noisy."
"That's the spot I like, next to that tree. It's cool and quiet."

Xie Jin clicked his tongue twice: "Why so quiet? It's better to be more lively. From my position, maybe I can even get a meal or two from others during festivals."

Zhao Nanyu looked at him inexplicably: "You are the prince of Xianguo Mansion, but you are so greedy!"

Xie Jin ignored his accusations, picked up a dogtail grass from the ground and bit it in his mouth, mumbling: "It's true that I am the prince now, but when I lie down, who will know who I am? I have to think about the future. Look, there are soldiers with names on both sides of my position. Maybe when their families come to worship in the future, they will see that my tomb is blank and worship me as well. Then I won't have to worry about incense and worship."

Zhao Nanyu turned his head and looked at him steadily. The young man held a dogtail grass in his mouth, which was both wanton and deep. He turned his head back and said lightly: "You are right."

Seeing that he affirmed his idea, Xie Jin excitedly spat out the dogtail grass: "Yeah, yeah, you also think I've thought it through, right?"

Xie Jin pointed to the other side of the mound and said, "That's not bad either. You can be my neighbor and we can take care of each other."

Zhao Nanyu followed his gaze and nodded after a while: "I'll think about it."

Xie Jin looked at him with a smile: "Take your time to think about it, there's no rush, no rush."

The breeze blew the robes of the two young men. The grave covered with earth accompanied them. Time was unusually quiet and peaceful.

The smell of blood on the battlefield became stronger and stronger, and Xie Jin and Zhao Nanyu became more and more silent. They always fought hard to survive on the battlefield, and then silently watched cart after cart of dead bodies being pulled to the graves on the mountain.

During the more than one year that Xie Jin had been on the battlefield, he had made many contributions, both large and small. Although Zhao Yao had not explicitly promoted him to a higher position, he would often call him up to give advice when there were important matters.

The Hu people were brutal, brave, cunning and deceitful by nature. Although Zhao Yao and his men suffered a lot of losses in this battle, the Hu people did not gain much either.

The two sides were fighting like this, neither advancing nor retreating, neither going up nor down, both sides were waiting, waiting for who would lose patience first and make the first mistake. Zhao Yao called the two captains, Xie Jin, and Zhao Nanyu to the tent today. Looking at Zhao Yao's solemn expression, Gou Ju couldn't help but ask: "General, what happened?" Why do you look so ugly?

Zhao Yao looked at everyone and said, "We are running out of food!"

Sun Shen: "Didn't the general report this matter to the court not long ago? I believe the court will send the food in one or two months."

Zhao Yao was silent for a moment, then he spoke solemnly: "The grain harvest this year is not good. Your Majesty is trying to get those officials with wealthy families to allocate grain to us first, but those officials have not relented. Your Majesty is trying to find a way to deal with them."

Gou Ju clenched his fist and slammed the table hard, angrily saying: "What a bunch of bastards! I fought so hard here, but in the end, I can't even get a bite of food!"

"Don't you think about it? Without us, would they be able to live peacefully at home surrounded by beautiful concubines and maids, eating the most delicious food?"

Gou Ju became more and more angry as he spoke, and suddenly he stood up and shouted, "Fuck it, I'm not going to fight this battle anymore!"

Sun Shen quickly stood up and grabbed his shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, stop talking angrily. Let's listen to what the general has to say first." After much persuasion, he finally managed to persuade the man to stop.

Zhao Yao looked at Xie Jin: "Do you have anything to say?"

Xie Jin pondered for a while and said, "What does your majesty say?"

Zhao Yao: "Your Majesty said that the food will be delivered by mid-March at the latest!"

"We still have enough food to last for another month and a half, which means we will have no food for another month and a half, right?"

Zhao Yao nodded: "That's right."

Xie Jin stared at Zhao Yao: "I think the general wanted to say more than just this one thing, right?"

A hint of appreciation flashed in Zhao Yao's eyes: "Yeah."

Hearing this, the three people nearby suddenly became nervous, fearing that they would hear other bad news from Zhao Yao.
