These forbidden troops guarding the New Year's coins were all drawn from the Divine Guard, and they were not familiar with Di Qing and Yang Wenguang.

Therefore, these Divine Guards were not easy to grind hard, so they went back to find their leader, Duyu Marquis Wang Zhongping.

"Marquis Wang Yu, the quartermaster did not distribute grain and grass to the guards of the deputy, and the sheep were bought by the deputy's own money. We went to ask for it, and the resentment of the people was not small. Someone complained to Wang Zhongping.

"It's the quartermaster who mistreats someone's guards, and we just watch." There was also a forbidden soldier who said helplessly.

But there was the greedy one, and transferred his resentment to the quartermaster, "Dare to withhold the food and grass of the soldiers, is this because I am afraid that the matter will not make a big fuss?" Everyone is a soldier and eats food, and when something happens, they have to sell their lives, and when they have nothing to do, they can't even eat enough! ”

When Wang Zhongping heard everyone's words, he was startled, and hurriedly pressed his hands and said: "Don't make a noise, I will tell the quartermaster about this matter, and ask him to treat the deputy envoy's guards fairly." However, you guys also have some talents, so don't toss around for a bite of mutton. In any case, the sheep was bought by the deputy envoy himself, and it will not have your share. ”

Although these soldiers of the Divine Guard Army were not angry, they also knew that what Wang Yuhou said was the truth. There is nothing wrong with the deputy who spends his own money to make his guards eat better, and he does not owe them these divine guards.

In the room of the post house, Duan Shaolian waited for his entourage to come back, but saw that the other party was empty-handed.

"Big officials, the little ones went to ask for it, but who knew that those soldiers were rude, and they said that they couldn't make it, and it was bought by the Hou Ye for these soldiers to eat." The entourage said how he begged for mutton soup.

Duan Shaolian couldn't help but look sneered, it turned out that the mutton soup was made by An Lehou for his own guards. He asked the quartermaster to withhold the other party's grain and grass, and this is the other party's counterattack. I didn't find out, and I asked people to ask for it, but I lost a lot of people.

"Okay, adults don't remember villains, and since they don't want to, we shouldn't be like them." Duan Shaolian waved his hand and asked his entourage to go down to eat by himself.

Sitting in front of his meal, smelling the smell of mutton soup coming from outside, Duan Shaolian ate this meal tastelessly.

Fan Yu asked Wang Xiaoding to bring out his own food, and he and many guards held a coarse porcelain bowl with piping hot mutton soup in it, and his forehead was sweating as he was eating.

Di Qing and Yang Wenguang also sat together with bowls, and they were very emotional when they saw Hou Ye and the soldiers eating together.

"If Master Hou can lead the troops, he must be a general." Yang Wenguang took a bite of the cake, took a sip of the hot air on the mutton soup, and said comfortably.

Di Qing also nodded approvingly: "Put aside the drama of undressing and pushing food in advance, and with the respect of the marquis, you are willing to eat with the soldiers, which accounts for half of the army's heart." ”

"It's a pity that the marquis is the emperor's family, if the official family doesn't allow it, he can't lead troops." Yang Wenguang couldn't help but shake his head.

"This time, isn't Hou Ye also a soldier." Di Qing said with a smile: "If there is a war, you and I will follow a superior like Hou Ye, which is much stronger than having a few rotten Confucians on our heads." At least Hou Ye will not command indiscriminately, and he is from the same civilian background as me, so he rarely has arrogance. ”

Yang Wenguang sandwiched a piece of soft mutton in his mouth, which made him breathe a sigh of white air.

"The Great Song Dynasty has been peaceful for decades, and there has been no war for a long time." Yang Wenguang swallowed the mutton before saying, "It's not easy for you and me to get ahead, wait for the opportunity." ”

Fan Yu and his guards were eating happily, and the Divine Guards on the other side could only smell the smell of mutton soup, and they were very resentful in their hearts.

Wang Zhongping and Wang Yuhou found the quartermaster Pu Zengshou, but he didn't want Pu Zengshou to be very hard-spoken.

"Marquis Wang Yu, it's not that I want to withhold the grain and grass of the deputy envoy's guards, but that these dozens of them haven't reported to me at all. Duan Zheng doesn't speak, and I can't make decisions on my own. If I am accommodating here, I will give them grain and grass, and I will be the one who will eat the melons in the end. Pu Zengshou sneered: "Wang Yuhou wants to be a good person, and it also depends on whether An Lehou buys your favor." Don't stick it on, but you can't even drink the mutton soup. ”

When he said this, he almost pointed at Wang Zhongping and said that he was out of luck. Even with Wang Zhongping's easy-going temper, he couldn't stand it.

"Park Zengshou, do you think you can do whatever you want if you manage the military quartermaster?" Wang Zhong's face also sank, "If you provoke chaos in the army, your head will not be enough to cut off!" ”

Park Zengshou laughed, "Messy? And with the fifty or so of them, what will be changed? The Amway army is not far from here, and if it breaks out, it will be crushed by the army in an instant. Marquis Wang Yu still manages his own soldiers, don't let them cause trouble, implicate yourself. ”

Next to a large iron pot, Fan Yu held his stomach with both hands, and some couldn't stand up.

The guards under his command just now were too enthusiastic, and they came to toast the sheep soup one by one with bowls and express their gratitude to Fan Yu. At this time, it is almost the New Year's Festival, and the weather is already nine cold winters. When everyone heard that the quartermaster did not distribute food and grass, they held their breath. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, Hou Ye arranged mutton soup.

The ups and downs in the middle were a bit big, but they also won gratitude, and completely shortened the distance between Fan Yu and these soldiers.

That is, at this time, you can't drink alcohol during the march, otherwise Fan Yu will be drunk again.

Liu Liufu is a Liao envoy, and he has nothing to do. His group of guards had long been tired of eating beef and mutton, but they were more interested in the diet of the Great Song Dynasty. Moreover, as a bystander, Liu Liufu didn't want to meddle in the affairs between the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty, although he saw some problems.

Fan Yu got up and said to Di Qing: "Let our people take care of the sheep they bought, don't be stolen." ”

Di Qing agreed with a smile, and then went to arrange for people to feed the sheep and guard it.

Fan Yu glanced at the direction where Duan Shaolian was, smiled, and went back to the room to rest.

As soon as he left here, Yang Wenguang came to the pot with a big bowl and said to the soldier who was cooking: "Give me a bowl of soup and more mutton." ”

"Brother Yang, have you already drunk three bowls, and you still want to eat?" The soldier was surprised.

Yang Wenguang hurriedly made a silent gesture and said, "It's not me who eats, there is a brother who hasn't eaten, I'll serve a bowl for him." ”

"I see, but Brother Yang can't give it to outsiders, this is what Master Hou has told." The cooking soldier chattered.

Yang Wenguang took the mutton soup, took another cake, and sent it to the back of a carriage.

Someone immediately rushed out from behind the car, snatched the bowl, and then screamed as it was hot.

"Uncle Guo, you can slow down, this soup is still hot." Yang Wenguang smiled bitterly.

This person is none other than Cao Fu, the uncle of the Second Kingdom. Since he heard Fan Yu say that he wanted to lead a team to Liaoguo, he wanted to come along. But Fan Yu refused to take him, but he didn't expect Cao Fu to sneak into the team.

Just now, Fan Yu and everyone were drinking mutton soup in an iron pot, choking Cao Fu enough, but he didn't dare to show his head, for fear that Fan Yu would find out and send him back. Yang Wenguang had just called someone to eat, only to find out that this kid was actually mixed in the team.

"Brother Yang, I never thought that mutton soup would be so delicious." Cao Fu tore a piece of dough cake and soaked it in the soup, sucked it with the soup cake, and then put a piece of mutton into his mouth, not to mention how satisfying he was.

Yang Wenguang just saw that Cao Fu was still shivering in the cold wind, and these two mouthfuls of hot soup warmed up in his stomach.

"Uncle Guo doesn't want to be in the team anymore, he will stay in the post house early tomorrow morning, and return to Beijing with the carriage that goes to Beijing. The road to Liaoguo is still long, and there may be obstacles in the middle. If something happens to Uncle Guo, I'm afraid An Lehou can't afford it. Yang Wenguang persuaded.

Cao Fu drank soup and ate meat, and said to Yang Wenguang: "Brother Yang should not have found me, if you drive me away, I will definitely follow me later, then it will be dangerous." I'm afraid that Brother Yang will have to take on a bigger role."

Yang Wenguang's heart was lying in the wilderness.

Thinking about it in my heart, I was so close to Bianliang, I was afraid that if I sent him back to the capital, I would be able to keep up.
