    Zitong Pass is located in the south of Jinniu Road, connected to Jiange in the north and Mianyang in the south. It plays a role in connecting the north and the south. However, the scale of the city is small and the number of garrison troops is also small. Among the nine major passes of Jinniu Road, it belongs to the bottom!

    However, as the war situation changed, Zitong Pass became the frontier of the Cao and Liu groups. Although there was no major war, small frictions continued, and the military status was suddenly improved.

    In order to prepare for Cao's army to go south, Liu Bei and Pang Tong ignored the boiling public complaints and forcibly recruited tens of thousands of civilians to reinforce and raise Zitong Pass day and night. Due to the tight construction period and lack of materials, even food rations were difficult to guarantee. Many civilians were tired and hungry.  The dead are piled with bones and buried in the wall!

    Douzi Mountain, playing drums,

    Yang Pingshan, scattering white rain,

    ??When the white rain falls, take the dragon girl,

    The silk weaved is two feet and five feet long,

    Half of it belongs to Luo Jiang and half to Xuanwu!

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Fifteen miles north of Zitong Pass, on a newly built beacon tower, Xu San held a spear in his arms and sat cross-legged, looking toward his hometown in the southeast, singing folk tunes while thinking about his wife and children

    Xu San is a veteran, not in terms of qualifications, but in age. He is forty-three years old this year. In the era of "people who live fifty years are not called young", he is definitely an old man, and he joined the army at the time  , less than four months.

    However, the four-month military career was more colorful and thrilling than most of the previous life. Xu San often pinched his thighs, thinking that he was in a dream or a nightmare!

    I am from a poor family in Jianwei County - Leshan. I have never studied and have been living by farming and raising silkworms. My family has a yellow-faced woman, two daughters, two sons, three thatched huts, and eight acres of thin farmland.  , dozens of old mulberry trees!

    Life was difficult for a small family. Fortunately, the whole family worked hard and could still fill their stomachs. Xu San had no ambitions. He just wanted to save some money as much as possible to marry off his two daughters and give his two sons wives.  , I will be satisfied if I buy an old scalper to help me plow my fields.

    Sitting at home behind closed doors, misfortune comes from the sky. Xu San has worked hard for decades. When he sees that he is getting closer and closer to his goal, misfortune befalls the family:

    In April of summer, there was a war in Hanzhong County in the north. In the name of "preventing Cao's army and protecting the country and the people," the prefecture's pastoral office launched a large-scale recruitment and taxation. The 20-year-old eldest son was forced to join the army and all the money he had accumulated was handed over.

    In June of summer, the prefectural pastoral office once again conscripted troops and levied taxes. The reason was to "prevent big-eared thieves." The seventeen-year-old second son also joined the army, and all the rations at home were confiscated by the government.

    In autumn and August, a heavy rain came to Bashu. Roads were washed away, houses collapsed, and the crops that were about to mature in the fields were also submerged. There was no harvest. The people had no choice but to build shacks to live in and collect wild vegetables for food!

    In the ninth month of autumn, Liu Bei's army occupied Jianwei County. They heard that the emperor's uncle was benevolent, moral, and caring for the people. The people were very happy. Xu San was also very happy, thinking that the hard days were over and good days were coming.

    But before Xu San could laugh out loud, he "honorably" joined the army and became a member of Liu Bei's army. He was also a light infantryman with no mounts, no armor, no bows and arrows, and was only issued with a long white wooden handle.  Spear, follow on to the battlefield!

    Attacking Jianyang, besieging Chengdu, and seizing Mianyang, Xu San followed the army to various places and experienced several bloody battles. Fortunately, he did not die on the battlefield. Now he has come to Zitong Pass and became a garrison here!

    And Xu San¡¯s life experience is the epitome of the people of Bashu. In just a few months, he fell from the world into hell, suffered natural and man-made disasters, separated his flesh and blood, his future was bleak, and it was difficult to know whether he would live or die

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "Third brother, are you thinking about your aunt, broken woman, and melon sons again?"

    "Why don't you think about it? The men have gone out to fight, and the three women have stayed at home with no food, no firewood, no house, and it's so cold this winter. How can they survive it?

    There is also my two sons. There has been no news since they left as soldiers. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s Well, they say that Uncle Liu is very kind and righteous, and he loves the common people the most. But there is no improvement at all these days. On the contrary, it is worse.  What about before?  "

    ¡­¡­

    "My silly third brother, the world is as dark as crows. The state pastors, heavenly masters, and emperor uncles are all just fighting for the land. Who cares about the life and death of the people?

    I heard people say that the north is now stable. The people have fields, food to eat, clothes to wear, and very few taxes. If I have the chance, I really want to go back to my hometown in Guanzhong. It is a hundred times better than living here!  "

    Veteran Tian Wu came over. He was Xu San¡¯s comrade.After crossing the Yangtze River, it also spread to the Bashu region. Xu San and Tian Wu also used this kind of earthen kang in their original homes. It was really comfortable and warm!

    The specially invited master craftsman, after setting up the fire kang, put a picture on the head of the kang, saying that he was the 'Kitchen Lord', who was also the inventor of the fire kang.  It wards off evil spirits, crops produce more ears, sows give birth to more babies, mothers-in-law don¡¯t steal from peopleit is a cure-all for all diseases!

    And the Stove Lord, with his dark face, thick eyebrows, high nose bridge, smiling look, and two big dimples, is very similar to the man who drove the car just now, he is almost copied from the same mold!

    I remember that the master craftsman said that Lord Yama was not just a doodle, but a real person, and he was a big shot. I can¡¯t remember the specific names of Xu San and Tian Wu, but they were so happy at that time that they rolled around on the bed!

    What is it called? The words are on my lips, but I just can¡¯t remember!

    It seems that the surname is Xiao, and it seems that the name is Da Anyway, the title is quite long, like someone who is a high official!

    "Why are Xu San and Tian Wu so stunned? Come quickly and make the noodles and light the fire. Let's steam the steamed buns and eat them today!"

    "Okay, come on!"

    When they heard that there were steamed buns to eat, the two of them jumped up and down with joy. Not to mention the name of the Stove Lord, they didn¡¯t even care about their own surnames and ran over to help cook!

    "Woo!¡ª¡ªWoo! Woo!"

    A moment later, a horn sounded from the south, which was the signal for the city gate to open. It seemed that the caravan successfully passed Zitong Pass and headed for Chengdu City!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
