Mud Pawn

Crossing the border and guarding the city, veterans farmed Stone has traveled through time, without a system, a golden finger, or even a knife. He was lying in a pile of dead people, with half a horse on his chest, and his nose was filled with the smell of blood. From that moment on, he had only one thought: to live. He met Liu Guaizi, a lame veteran, and learned to listen to horses' hooves, read the direction of the wind, pretend to be dead, and escape. He also received a shabby "black ledger" that recorded every military pay deducted from the border town defenders and the names of every person killed in action. The border city is at the end of the north wind, and barbarian soldiers move south every year. The guard generals can only run away, and the supervisors will run out of food when they come. Shitou worked from scout to garrison, with more than 400 "unwanted soldiers". When there was no food, he robbed the barbarian soldiers' food roads, when he didn't have a knife, he made iron by himself, and when he didn't have cotton, he farmed by himself. He was keeping accounts, fighting, and waiting for the girl named Xiulan at home. Seven years, more than 300 battles, and more than 3,000 names, he recorded them all in the ledger. After the war was over, the court made him a general. He refused and returned to Nigou Village with two urns, a skinny horse, a scar on his body, and half of his white hair.
