Yue Zhongyong saw that Chen Wenduan had learned about the disaster, so he said to him: "Lord Qincha, this place is a suburb, I am afraid that there will be an accident, it is better for me to return to the barracks as soon as possible." ”

Chen Wenduan smiled and said to Yue Zhongyong: "Ben Qin has heard for a long time that Marshal Yue's loyal army is very powerful, and this place is not too far from the military camp, so it doesn't hurt to stay here for a while." ”

"Lord Qincha is too honored, let's be careful, in case something goes wrong, I can't afford it, besides, it's time for breakfast." Yue Zhongyong said.

Chen Wenduan said to Yue Zhongyong: "Hearing what the marshal said, Ben Qin really felt a little hungry when he arrived, so let's go back together." ”

Hearing Chen Wenduan say this, Yue Zhongyong said to him: "Since this is the case, then ask the marshal to mount my horse and follow him on foot." ”

Chen Wenduan said: "The marshal's kindness Ben Qin almost took it, let Ben Qin cha ride the marshal's horse, and the marshal walked on his own, wouldn't that be a great disrespect to the marshal." ”

Speaking of this, Chen Wenduan paused for a moment, pointed to Chen Ming, who was standing behind him, and suggested to Yue Zhongyong: "I think if you let the marshal ride a horse, and I follow you on foot, you will definitely not be willing, marshal, it is better to let this guard of mine lead the marshal's horses, let's walk together, and we can talk while walking, wouldn't it be beautiful." ”

"It's still Lord Qincha who understands Ben Shuai's thoughts, so let's do what Lord Qincha says. Yue Zhongyong said with a smile.

So Yue Zhongyong handed over the horses, and walked to the barracks on foot with Chen Wen.

After the two walked into the barracks, Chen Wenduan said to Yue Zhongyong: "Marshal, for today's breakfast, you and Ben Qin will eat together in the canteen of the barracks with the sergeants, and Ben Shuai can take the opportunity to convey His Majesty's greetings and care to the soldiers, do you think it's good?"

Seeing Chen Wenduan say this, Yue Zhongyong hurriedly persuaded: "How noble the identity of Lord Qincha is, it seems a little inappropriate, according to Ben Shuai, it is better to send it to your place of residence." ”

Chen Wenduan said: "When I came here as a messenger, I want to go deep into the grassroots and understand the hardships of the soldiers, which is a matter of course, so the marshal should not persuade me, but lead me to the soldiers' canteen to eat." ”

"Even if Lord Qincha is so insistent, this handsome person will be as Lord Qincha wishes. Yue Zhongyong said.

So Yue Zhongyong took Chen Wenduan to the soldiers' canteen in the barracks.

At this time, it was the time for the soldiers to eat breakfast after the morning exercises, so the cafeteria was full of soldiers eating.

It is estimated that Yue Zhongyong is more easy-going with his soldiers on weekdays, so when the soldiers watched their marshal Yue Zhongyong lead people in, they didn't pay much attention to it, just looked up at Yue Zhongyong with a smile, and continued to eat their own food.

At this time, Yue Zhongyong saw two empty seats on a table, so he immediately took Chen Wenduan to this table and sat down, and then whispered an order to the soldier next to him.

The soldier immediately got up, went to the window to get breakfast, and brought two bowls of porridge and four steamed buns to the table of Yue Zhongyong and Chen Wenduan.

Yue Zhongyong first picked up a bowl of porridge and sent it to Chen Wenduan's hands, and then he also picked up the remaining bowl of porridge and ate it.

Chen Wenduan picked up the porridge handed over by Yue Zhong, and saw that the porridge was very clear, stirring with chopsticks, and there were not a few grains of rice in it.

Seeing that the soldier sitting next to him was drinking the same porridge as his own, he couldn't help frowning, and said to Yue Zhongyong: "After the soldiers have been trained in the morning, their physical consumption must be very large. ”

Yue Zhongyong sighed and said to Chen Wenduan: "If the imperial court does not provide relief, I am afraid that I will not be able to eat a bowl of porridge and two steamed buns for breakfast." ”

"I really don't know, I don't know, if the soldiers can't even eat, then they still have the strength to fight, defend the country, the marshal's problem here is indeed very serious, now the situation Ben Qin Cha has seen it with his own eyes, I don't think I will stop the marshal here, after breakfast today, I will rush back to Lin'an to think about the situation here of the marshal Shengshang, so that His Majesty can order the military rations and military salaries to be allocated to the marshal as soon as possible. Chen Wenduan said to Yue Zhongyong.

Yue Zhongyong said gratefully: "Lord Qincha is so busy going back and forth for the affairs of my loyal army, but Ben Shuai has nothing to repay Lord Qincha, I am really ashamed." ”

"The lord of the king, when the matter of loyalty to the king, why should the marshal be polite. Chen Wenduan said to Yue Zhongyong.

Yue Zhongyong then said: "I think so, Lord Qincha is not in a hurry for this day, there is a place near the barracks with a good view, since Lord Qincha is here, why don't you let Ben Shuai lead you to play together, and return to Lin'an tomorrow, okay?"

"The marshal's kindness Ben Chin is very careful, state affairs are important, and this matter of sightseeing will be talked about later. Chen Wenduan shirked.

Yue Zhongyong saw that Chen Wenduan was in a hurry to go back, so he didn't insist too much on letting Chen Wenduan stay, so he said to Chen Wenduan: "Lord Qincha, in addition to the matter of military salary and food salary, there is another important matter that I want to ask Lord Qincha to explain to the saint. ”

"What else is the matter with the marshal?" asked Chen Wenduan.

Yue Zhongyong replied: " That's the case, although the current Jin State has not launched a large-scale attack on us, but the Jin State has no dead heart, and the advantage of the Jin State army is the cavalry, they move very quickly, erratic, and the current border between the Song and Jin countries is very long, so it will bring a lot of pressure to our defense, so the marshal suggested that the imperial court can reorganize the several people guarding the border, and command it by one person, so that we can deploy troops according to the military situation in various parts of the border, and we will have nothing to fear。 ”

After listening to Yue Zhongyong's words, Chen Wenduan said: "Marshal, you know, Ben Qincha is a civilian official, and he doesn't know much about military affairs, but Ben Qincha personally thinks that your idea is good, but you also know that in this way, it will definitely damage the interests of some people, and it will inevitably be opposed by some people, so whether your proposal can be passed after Ben Qincha is played, Ben Qincha is not sure." ”

"Lord Qincha is extremely worried, you just need to play as I say, the rest, then it depends on the meaning of the court, if you can pass better, if you can't pass, at least let the saint know our thoughts, so that if there is a chance in the future, you can play again. Yue Zhongyong said.

Chen Wenduan said to Yue Zhongyong: "Since this is the case, then the Qin mission will be done according to the marshal's wishes." ”
