Lou Zheng threw himself into his father's arms, the hard armor was attached to his face, and the hot tears instantly wet the iron pieces on the chest of the armor.

General Lou burst into tears, patted his daughter's back with his rough palm, and gently gave his daughter a breath.

"Jiaojiao, why did you come to Liangzhou alone, does your family know?"

Thinking of the possible suffering of his daughter along the way, General Lou's heart was about to twist.

Although he followed his wife's last wish, he did not leave his daughter in the main house in Shengjing, but sent it to Mr. Yaowang, and he himself could only see his daughter for two or three years, but his daughter was his lifeblood, and for his daughter, it was worth it to stay at the border for many years.

Only he can exchange for the Lou family's solid position in Shengjing in the frontier.

Lou Zheng pushed General Lou away, wiped a handful of tears, and shook his head, "I don't know, it was the master who asked the senior brother to accompany me, my daughter has been wearing men's clothes, and she has not encountered any danger, if my father is worried, I can repair the book and go to Shengjing's house." ”

"If you want to come to Liangzhou, write to your father in advance, and your father will send a guard to pick you up, why did you come so suddenly." After General Lou calmed down, he felt that something was wrong with his daughter, who had always been submissive.

Lou Zheng took out a handkerchief and wiped General Lou's tears first, and then got up to help remove the heavy armor on General Lou's body.

The armor is very heavy, and it is estimated that it is not much different from the eighty pounds of bright armor in the Tang Dynasty.

After the armor was taken down by General Lou, his underwear was worn out in many places on his upper body, and some places were even red and swollen.

Lou Zheng was stunned when he saw that his father's strong upper body was full of scars. "Dad, this ......"

didn't want her daughter to see the wounds left by the battle, so she hurriedly took the homely robe brought by the guards and put it on.

"In the military, there are a few who are not like this, this is the fate of soldiers." What General Lou didn't say was that those sergeants who didn't even have armor were really hard.

On the battlefield, it is a meat shield, and the battle death rate is not known how many times higher than that of soldiers with armor, so it is already happiness to have armor, who dares to dislike it! Even a general of his rank wore nothing more than the hardest heavy armor.

When I was young. When I came to Liangzhou, I often went to the barracks with my father. Lou Zheng never thought about this, but after experiencing this, he went to Liangzhou again, but Lou Zheng found that just his father's side was full of loopholes.

A small pair of armor has already stumped my father.

These are considered to be the best heavy armor of the Great Wu Dynasty, which is simply made of iron sheets, which does not protect against heat or cold.

Wear it for a long time. It can even wear out the body.

Maybe it's okay in the summer. But it was winter. Liangzhou, to the north of Dawu, had to spend the whole winter in heavy snow and wind, and wanted to put on heavy armor. You can't wear a coat inside, two single clothes are the bottom, and the armor can be put on outside, and the cold wind blows through the heavy armor, and the cold iron pieces stick to the body, which can freeze people in an instant.

Lou Zheng never thought that for so many years, his father would come over like this.

Now for more than three months, Liangzhou is still making a move, and General Lou wears this heavy armor to the barracks every day to train his troops.

Lou Zheng blinked his moist and reddened eyes, ordered someone to prepare a hot towel, and then personally helped his father wipe the wound and apply medicine.

Lou Zheng tugged at the corners of General Lou's mouth, "I miss my father, so I'm here." ”

"You! It's fifteen years old for the Chinese New Year, it's a big girl, your master, I wrote to his old man, and asked him to send someone to send you to Shengjing, and I also went to the family to write to the family, as long as your father is still this general, your uncle and uncle will not treat you badly, and will definitely find you a good family, so that your father also has a heart. ”

"There are many good men in the world, why do you have to go to Shengjing to find it, even if my father finds one for his daughter in the army, my daughter is willing."

"Jiaojiao, don't talk nonsense, how can those five big and three thick lepers in the army be worthy of my Jiaojiao."

While treating his father's demon injury, Lou Zheng joked: "Daddy is also a general, so what's wrong with me marrying a general." ”

General Lou nodded his daughter's head and laughed out loud.

"When did Mr. Yaowang accept his apprentice, and when did you have another senior brother?"

Lou Zheng had no choice but to explain Lu Hongxiu's matter to his father.

General Lou nodded, "He's a good man, Daddy also likes the scenery of the Western Regions, and when it's time for dinner, Daddy wants to ask you what this senior brother Loulan looks like." ”

"Dad, I'll cook by myself at night, you haven't eaten your daughter's cooking in more than a year."

General Lou shook his head helplessly, although the noble daughters of the family rarely cook by themselves, but if the daughter likes it, he won't stop it much.

Liangzhou is cold, materials are poor, vegetables and fruits are not to think about it at this time.

Even if it is the Marshal's Mansion, General Lou can't eat a meal of green vegetables and spinach in a month, let alone the food in the barracks.

In the evening, Lou Zheng asked the medicine slave to help and made a big pot of noodles.

Take out the sea bowl, fill it with a large bowl of noodles, pour the boiled soup on it, and put the noodles with minced meat, tofu, fried eggs, etc., and a few appetizing pickles.

The people in the army don't eat well, and many of them have dry rice to eat, which is already good, and General Lou often eats with his soldiers, and he doesn't care about the food on weekdays. When you take a big sip and eat a big bowl, the whole person will exhale refreshment, and the body will also warm up.

When Steward Wu brought the two sea bowls and put them on the table, General Lou laughed, "It's still Jiaojiao who knows how to be a father." ”

Lu Hongxiu has also been sleeping in the Western Regions all these years, and he also has a good impression when he sees this big bowl of noodles, and he eats the noodles in the bowl opposite General Lou, until a bowl of noodles bottoms out, the two of them wiped their mouths and raised their heads, and laughed at each other. General Lou didn't even have a drop of noodle soup left.

Lou Zheng made a lot of noodles, and asked Steward Wu to command the little servant to send a bowl to each of the soldiers around his father, and many of them were still patrolling the yard in armor on such a cold day. After eating a bowl of fragrant and full noodles, I felt comfortable and wanted to sigh.

Yu Jiu finished eating a bowl and found it in front of Steward Wu, touched his head and said innocently: "Uncle Wu, is there any more of this noodles, I still want to eat a bowl, there was no such good food in the Marshal's Mansion before, they were all hard pot helmets, and my teeth would break when I took a bite." ”

"Go, go, this is made by our little lady herself, you can burn high incense when you get a bowl. I still want to eat it. I'd love to eat another bowl! Steward Wu impatiently drove Yu Jiu away.

Yu Jiu hurriedly wiped his mouth, "What, the little lady is here?" ”

Steward Wu snorted, "The little lady is not coming." Do you think you can eat such delicious noodles as a rough man? ”

Yu Jiu laughed twice. A mouthful of large white teeth was exposed. I rubbed my head and walked away, and I didn't talk about eating another bowl of noodles.

Steward Wu watched him leave, smiled and shook his head. Scolding this group of foodies.

scolded half and sighed, the master's personal soldiers are okay, they can often mix two meals in the marshal's mansion on weekdays, and the 30,000 soldiers in the barracks can only eat two meals a day now, and they are all thin, and they will soon not even have to eat the pot helmet.

I don't know when the grain and grass for this season will be allocated, but it has been delayed for two months.

The army had to train every day, and the soldiers did not have enough to eat, and some would faint in the middle of training.

There are also those war horses, the damage is even worse, they can't withstand long-distance battles at all, the environment in Liangzhou is harsh, and the bantam horses sent by the customs are all incomparable, and the strong horses of those barbarians can't be compared at all.

Thinking of this, Steward Wu shook his head helplessly.

Forget it, even if he sees all these things, he has no way to change them, just to add to his troubles.

I only hope that those barbarians will not come to Liangzhou today, at least until the baggage of the imperial court is transported to Liangzhou.

The 30,000 soldiers under the command of the general are still waiting for those money, grains and grass to live!

Early the next morning, Lou Zheng cleaned up and got up, and last night he had already instructed the medicine slave to boil preserved eggs and thin porridge in the morning and steam a few drawers of steamed buns.

As soon as Lou Zheng came out of the bedroom, he startled Steward Wu who was waiting outside.

"Little lady, who are you?" Steward Wu's eyelids jumped and asked.

Lou Zheng looked down at his coarse clothes as a soldier in the barracks, and smiled at Steward Wu, "I'm going to go to the barracks with my father today." ”

Steward Wu's face stiffened, and he hurriedly ran to the study to ask the general.

Lou Zheng also hurriedly followed, the father and daughter had breakfast in the study, and when they came out of the study, General Lou glanced at his daughter behind him helplessly.

In the end, he could only say: "Only once today, but not in the future, otherwise Daddy will really get angry." And follow Daddy today, when Daddy is away, you will follow your Uncle Han, don't run around! Got it? ”

Lou Zheng smiled and shook his father's sleeve.

Although the Dawu Dynasty is open, there are not so many restrictions on women, just like the environment of the Tang Dynasty, but some fundamental problems cannot be ignored, for example, women cannot be mixed in the military camp, otherwise a hat that is not strict in governing the army will be buckled on the general, of course, military prostitutes and rice women are not classified as women......

From the fact that General Lou allowed his daughter to go to the barracks, you can see how much he dotes on his only daughter.

I don't know when, Lu Hongxiu also wore the same clothes and stood beside Lou Zheng, he respectfully bowed to General Lou, "Don't worry, General, with me watching, my junior sister will not have an accident." ”

General Lou took Lou Zheng, Lu Hongxiu and a group of guards back to the barracks.

A few smart guards, a pair of thief's eyes glanced at the petite Lou Zheng from time to time, and Lu Hongxiu next to him controlled the reins of the horse and inserted it into Lou Zheng's side, blocking those naked eyes.

Lou Zheng's mind was not on these people, she stared closely at the direction of the barracks, and her whole body and mind were pulled by her father's barracks.

In more than three months, the Tuhun people will lead a large army to attack, they have 50,000 horses, and half of the terrible cavalry, if my father's soldiers are weak and sick, they are no match for the strong Tuhun people.

At that time, Liangzhou will be attacked in one fell swoop, and my father will also be heavily blamed and degraded by the imperial court.

The military camp was stationed in the suburbs for ten miles.

When Lou Zheng encountered the first watchtower in the barracks, she was shocked.

On the watchtower five or six meters high, three or two soldiers were shrunk together in tattered clothes, the weapons in their hands had long been put aside, leaning on the railing of the watchtower, their hands shrunk between their legs to keep warm.

When one of the soldiers stood up, Lou Zheng also saw his bare knees.

Oh, my God! In such a cold weather, the wind blowing on the face is no different from a knife cut, and the soldiers are still wearing torn single clothes! If you are cold like this, how can you fight the battle?

Out of Lou Zheng and Lu Hongxiu, the others seemed to be accustomed to this scene for a long time.

General Lou's face was grim and he didn't speak, and one of the guards next to him shouted and asked, "Zhang Gouzi, is there a situation at night?" ”

Then Lou Zheng heard the soldier named Zhang Gouzi answer in a hoarse voice.

"Zhang Gouzi, is it edible today?"

Zhang Gouzi shook his head with a dismayed face.

General Lou's face suddenly became ugly. The black whip fell on the horse's buttocks, and immediately a group of people rushed towards the barracks.

After entering the barracks and looking at the soldiers with vegetables on their faces, Lou Zheng realized how serious the situation in his father's barracks was, and the already wide uniform uniform looked even more empty when worn on the soldiers, and some people directly tied them around their waists with ropes made of straw.

It didn't feel like a barracks at all, more like a makeshift shelter for the starving.

General Lou's face was dark, and the more than twenty personal soldiers who followed him also lowered their heads in shame, and it was not until they entered the inner camp that the situation began to improve.

The people in the inner camp look much more energetic, and most of them are wearing armor, and most of the people who live here are generals and their own soldiers.

General Lou had to go to the training ground every morning, which was also the rule, and he took Lou Zheng to Han Chengfeng's camp to see that there was no one, so he went to Zhou Bi's camp instead.

Han Chengfeng and Zhou Bi and Lou Zheng both knew that they were friends and subordinate officers in the army who had followed their father for many years, one was a deputy general and the other was in the army.

And the one who betrayed his father and framed his father was also one of these two.

Who was it, but Lou Zheng didn't have time to listen to her father tell her, and her father left her.

Suppressing the hatred that came out of his heart, Lou Zheng followed his father into Zhou Bi's camp.

Zhou Bi was having breakfast in the tent at this time.

A bowl of millet porridge and a bowl of big pot helmets, this is already the treatment of Shangguan in the barracks.

Zhou Bi was also wearing heavy armor, and when he saw General Lou, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Brother is here? Yesterday, I heard that Suoxian's niece came to Liangzhou, why don't you stay with her for one more day and leave her niece alone in the house. ”

General Lou patted his brother's shoulder, shook his head helplessly and dotingly, let go of his strong body, and exposed the petite Lou Zheng behind him.

Lou Zheng stepped forward and saluted, "Hello Uncle Zhou." Then he handed Zhou Bi a small cloth bag in his hand, which was a pickle bun made by the medicine slave in the morning.
