Although pickle buns are not a delicacy, but in a place like Liangzhou, it is already good to have pickles to eat, not to mention that the buns brought by Lou Zheng are wrapped in lotus leaves, and a layer of cotton cloth is wrapped outside.

Five fist-sized buns, Zhou Bi almost ate one by one, and ate them all in two clicks.

"It's still a virtuous niece who will take care of people." Zhou Bi wiped his hands with the coarse cloth handed over by his own soldiers, and then took out a turquoise opal from his arms and handed it to Lou Zheng.

"Uncle Zhou is at the border all the year round, and there are no good things, this gem was still found in the caravan of the Tuhun people before, and it is useless for me, a rough man, to keep it, so I will make jewelry for my niece and nephew."

Opal is extremely precious, Lou Zheng glanced at her father, and when she saw her father laughing, she had no choice but to accept it, you know, Zhou Bi also has two daughters in Shengjing!

"Brother Zhou, I'm going to train the army, and Ah Zheng will entrust you to take care of it for a day."

Zhou Bi sent General Lou out of the camp, turned around and nodded Lou Zheng, and said helplessly: "Only your father spoils you so much, it's a joke, such a big girl still runs to the barracks, you will follow me in the morning, don't run around, otherwise your father will not be able to run away on the charge of not governing the army strictly." ”

Lou Zheng also knew that the military law in the barracks was strict, and her father was already the greatest connivance to her, and he immediately behaved well-behaved.

"Yes, Uncle Zhou's words Ah Zheng remembered."

"It's just right, you're fine, help Uncle Zhou sort out these military affairs. The huge military camp of tens of thousands of people can't even find a single person who can read, but your Uncle Zhou is tired alone. ”

Lou Zheng didn't shirk either, sat down next to the low table arranged by Zhou Bi for her with a smile, and moved a stack of official documents over.

In fact, most of these official documents are some unimportant military Chinese books that Zhou Bi has reviewed, where he really can't find a guard who knows words, but deliberately uses complicated official documents to drag Lou Zheng, a restless little girl, lest she be found to be a woman in the barracks and cause trouble to General Lou.

Lou Zheng was worried about how to understand the situation in the army, and now these redundant military affairs just solved her urgent need.

Lu Hongxiu held his sword and guarded outside the barracks. He watched the people in the army come and go. The brows also frowned tightly, could such a sick and weak army really hold the most vulnerable border of the Great Wu Dynasty?

As soon as you sink into military affairs, time flies.

Among them is an official letter reported by Sima in the army, with 3,000 war horses from the Left Wing Army. After the First World War, it lost nearly a thousand!

Although Lou Zheng didn't know his father's Liangzhou garrison. But she still knew some basic things. For example, my father's Left Wing Army was basically cavalry, and four-fifths of the war horses in the army were equipped with equipment for the Left Wing Army.

And a small war lost a third. What a horrible number.

If the Tuhun people have a few more sneak attacks, then the cavalry of the left wing army is not without horses?

Lou Zheng took a deep breath and walked to Zhou Bi with the official document.

"Uncle Zhou, even if the war horses in the garrison are all bantam horses in the pass, it is too exaggerated to lose 30% of the battle losses."

Zhou Bi took this official document, and there was his approval in the lower right corner of the official document, and Sima of the Left Wing Army applied for the transfer of war horses, which was already an official document four months ago. He had already submitted an application to the Ministry of War, but there was no response for four months.

The Hongling messenger who went to Shengjing to deliver the official document brought a message from the military department's secretary, saying that the budget of the military department had already exceeded the standard a year ago, and for this reason, the military department secretary was also ruthlessly participated in by the household department in front of the emperor.

The implication is that War Horse's application has long been rejected.

Zhou Bi put down the official document and let out a long sigh, "Niece Xian, you don't know, this batch of bantam war horses in the Guannai was still allocated by the Ministry of War four years ago, and there were five thousand at the beginning, and most of them were adult horses of three or four years old. Now four years have passed, and the hooves of most of the horses are worn and broken, and there are only more than 3,000 left last year. Now more than half of the remaining Guanzhong ponies have served for more than four years, and the horse's hooves are seriously worn, and it is not surprising that they were damaged in the first battle! ”

Lou Zheng was shocked when he heard this.

She had never cared about these things before, but she knew that a horse could live an average of more than 20 years, and the service life was about 8 years, while the horses in her father's barracks were damaged in four or five years.

If it is really because of the serious wear and tear of the horse's hooves, as Zhou said, then the horses of the Left Wing Army for so many years have been wasted.

"Uncle Zhou, I wonder if I can see the horses in the barracks?" Lou Zheng asked.

"Why not, my war horses with your father and his entourage are tied not far from the tent, and I will ask the guards to take you to see it in a while, but at this time the horses are in estrus and manic, just take a look at the virtuous niece, don't approach."

Lou Zheng nodded, returned to his low table, and continued to read the tedious documents.

Soon a morning passed, and at noon, the guards brought lunch.

Zhou Bi pushed the steaming haggis soup in front of Lou Zheng, and handed over a hard brick-like pot helmet.

"It's been a busy morning, niece Xian, let's eat something!"

Lou Zheng was not polite, tore the pot helmet into small pieces and soaked it in the haggis soup, soaked it soft and ate it casually.

This haggis soup doesn't taste good at all, the haggis is not cleaned, it has a strong smell, it may be for the sake of eating and covering up the bad taste, it is extremely salty, just like that, when Lou Zheng was eating, the guards who sent the rice next to him still swallowed saliva.

When the meal was over, Zhou Bi asked the guards to accompany Lou Zheng to see the horses, and Lou Zheng knew why their eyes were green when they saw a bowl of haggis soup.

It turned out that the barracks had been eating twice a day since the end of last year, if it weren't for Lou Zheng's special status, Zhou Bi would not have lunch, and the haggis soup was still made by General Lou Da personally instructing the Huotou Army to make for Lou Zheng.

On weekdays, even Zhou Bi's personal guards rarely eat a meal of meat.

The fishy mutton soup is the supreme delicacy in their eyes.

It didn't take long for Lou Zheng to observe the horses, and he returned in less than two quarters of an hour.

Zhou Bi's personal guard who was following her shook his head, he couldn't understand what this noble eldest lady was thinking, could it be that the loss of this war horse could be solved by her at a glance? Every year, the imperial court spends more than 10,000 yuan of silver money on the treasury to buy new war horses.

Lou Zheng had already discovered the eyes of Zhou Bi's guards who regarded her as an ignorant woman and child, and she didn't pay attention to it.

After returning to the camp, he sat and read the official documents for a long time. Although Lou Zheng does not have the authority to approve official documents, she basically browses through the official documents of the barracks here, separates the approved ones from the unapproved ones, and classifies the unapproved ones, and then moves the official documents to Zhou Bi's case.

At this time, the sun is sinking in the west, and it is already the time for the army to make a meal.

General Lou opened the curtain and came in, thanked Zhou Bi, and took his daughter back to the Shuaifu.
