Chapter Eighteen: The Wolf Residence Order(2/2)

Song Yu looked at Li Cheng for a while and then at Li Li, who was a little more honest.

Finally, he sighed and said, "It's not easy for you two to come from the south. It's freezing cold and I don't want to bury two more of your bodies, so I'll just tell you."

When Li Cheng saw Song Yu let go, he immediately pulled Li Li to sit next to Song Yu.

But some of the other veterans lowered their heads and remained silent, while others leaned against the wall and didn't care at all about the conversation. The atmosphere felt very depressing.

"Do you know how long we have been guarding here?"

Song Yu did not directly answer their questions but asked them a question.

"According to the laws of our Dayu Dynasty, the soldiers guarding the border are rotated every three years."

Li Li was relatively familiar with the laws and regulations of the Dayu Dynasty, so he casually reported the specific number of years.

"But I have to tell you, I have been guarding this frontier fortress for ten years."

Song Yu sighed and said dejectedly.

"It's so possible, this is a serious violation of imperial laws!"

Li Li and Li Chengliang were shocked. Isn't this the crime of bullying the emperor?

"No need to make a fuss, you can ask them which one of them has been guarding the border for less than three years!"

Song Yu pointed to the silent veterans around him and said.

"Didn't you raise this issue with the generals above?"

Li Li was very puzzled. Whether it was the general, the eunuch supervising the army, or the Sima in the army, they had the responsibility to deal with such violations of laws and orders.

"General? Do you know that General Long, the commander-in-chief of the Pengzhou Army, has also been guarding the border for ten years?"

A veteran said with anger in his tone.

He and Song Yu were both Pengzhou soldiers, and General Long Xun, the commander-in-chief of the Pengzhou army, was their general before guarding the border, so they came to the north of the border to guard the border.

"Then why doesn't General Long write a letter to express his love?"

Li Li did not believe that an old general who had guarded the border for ten years did not miss his hometown and did not want to return to his hometown in honor and entertain his grandchildren.

"Hmph! Those dog officials in the imperial court don't care about our life and death. The old general has written letters every year asking for reinforcements, but every one of his memorials has fallen into disarray."

The angry atmosphere began to spread among the people, and the people who were originally silent began to become excited, and their breathing began to rise and fall.

"To think that something like this happened, these people are really lawless."

Li Li also began to become angry.

"You don't need to be so angry. Before I came to garrison, I had already heard that the eunuch who was supervising the army this time promised that after General Long fought this battle, we could move to the south."

Although Song Yu appeased everyone, he was not sure whether what the eunuch said was true. After all, he had heard such news more than once before.

"Tou Song, do you think it can be true this time?"

Other veterans also know that the promises made by the military eunuchs are not very reliable.

"It's true this time. It is said that the eunuch who oversees the army this time is a confidant of Eunuch Qiao, the supervisor of the Northern Division."

The veterans around him couldn't help but be overjoyed.

As veterans of the military, they knew very well the rights of the eunuch section of the Beisi.

As the three major eunuch organizations of the Dayu Dynasty, the Beisi Division was mainly responsible for the supervision of the armies and the reporting of military merits.

The eunuchs of the Northern Division have certain powers of supervision and command over the army.

In addition to the Beisi, there are two other major organizations. One is the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is the head of the three major eunuch groups and is controlled by Chen Boze, Eunuch Chen.

The last one is Sigongtai, which is controlled by Sizheng Baishun and his father-in-law.

Among these three people, Chen Boze and Chen Eunuch are the first-class eunuchs, and His Majesty is brought up by him today.

Eunuch Qiao and Eunuch Bai are both Eunuch Chen's confidants.

So if Eunuch Qiao's close confidants say that the defense will be changed next year, there should be no mistake.

Just as the defenders were nesting in their earthen forts, thinking about the better life after the defense change, goshawks flew high from the top of the highest mountain in the depths of the grassland.

Wherever the goshawks flew over, they left a deep sound of horns.

These low horn sounds are not played by humans, they come from the special horns tied to the goshawk's ankles.

This kind of horn is very small and is made from the tip of the horn.

When the goshawk spreads its wings and flies high, the wind passes through the horn and makes a low sound.

This sound can be heard even from a distance of more than ten miles.

On the other leg of the goshawk is a small special token and a parchment.

This unique little token is made of gold, with a ferocious wolf head carved on it. Below the wolf head is written in prairie script: Wolf Residence Order.

And what was written on that parchment was the number of people the Wolf Court required from each tribe to gather and the place where they should go to gather.

As long as people on the grassland see the goshawk circling in the sky and hear the low sound of the horn, they will know that a new threshing session is about to begin.

Their blood began to boil, and war was a belief in life for them.

"Cheer up the men of the prairie, gallop the handsome horses, wave your shining scimitars. Wealth and women are in the south. Go quickly and bring them all back to the prairie to offer them to the great Wolf King God."

,dedicate to the great Wolf King God..."
