He should have added a big hat and a pair of leather boots. Xiao Xuan watched Han Derang walk down the steps step by step, there was some snow on the ground, Han Derang walked carefully, when did his movements become so clumsy? Xiao Xuan never found out. She didn't even know when the gray hair appeared on his head, or the wrinkles carved on his forehead. It was only today, when he descended the steps, that he suddenly realized that he was old, and he was no longer a young man with light steps and quick movements. When he descended the steps, he opened his arms slightly, like an old hen drenched in a storm, and carefully leaned down, ready to slip at any time, which was a sign of his lack of confidence. And just a few years ago, on snowy days, they climbed the Great Wall together, leaping like apes on the steep slopes. How energetic he was then.

Xiao Xuan's eyes blurred, watching Han Derang walk down the steps, her heart sinking little by little. His clothes look good, but they are not so close-fitting, on such a cold day, the wind is swishing in, how can he do without close-fitting clothes? Besides, his big hair, the hair has fallen out a lot, this man will not pay attention to this, there is no woman around, which man is not sloppy? They don't pay so much attention to their lives. The upper of his leather boots has collapsed, so how can he keep warm? She saw him wrap several layers of leggings around his calves, which he probably had come up with on a makeshift basis. If there is a woman next to him, it will not be like this, when the weather is not cold, prepare for him, keep warm from the cold, know the cold and know the heat, how good! But he didn't know whether he was cold or hot, and although he saw him every day, he never asked him for warmth, let alone made him a dress or a pair of shoes. When he is unhappy, he vents to him, and is unreasonable like a girl.

Xiao Xuan stood at the gate of the camp like this, watching Han Derang disappear from sight, and she refused to move her steps for a long time. It wasn't until Yelu Longxu walked over quickly that he turned around, and when he saw Yelu Longxu's excited face, he asked, "Why is the emperor so happy today, what is the happy event?" ”

Yelu Longxu couldn't help but say happily: "Queen Mother, our army has something to eat." ”

Xiao Sui was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "What did the emperor say, when did our army not eat?" ”

Yelu Longxu stepped forward to help Xiao Xuan enter the vault, and said softly: "The queen mother is hardworking, and the sons know that although the sons are young, they are still very clear about state affairs, after the last war, the treasury is empty, and there is not much grain and grass. The pile in the narrow bottom pot was not grain and grass, but some sand, firewood and grass. ”

Xiao Xuan was taken aback and said, "How do you know?" ”

Yelu Longxu said: "Don't panic the queen mother, it doesn't matter how the ministers know, now, our army does have food, which is something to be happy about." ”

Xiao Sui said: "Our army has food, where did you get it?" ”

Yelu Longxu said: "There is a small colonel in my tent, named Yelu Hao, who robbed more than 100 carts of grain and grass from the Song army. ”

"What, robbed more than a hundred carts of grain and grass and came back? Where is it? Take a look. Xiao Xuan was excited.

Yelu Longxu said: "It stopped in the camp of the sons, and the sons came to invite the queen mother to see." ”

Xiao Xuan immediately stepped out of the vault and stepped down the steps in a few steps.

Yelu Longxu followed closely and shouted, "The Queen Mother is careful of the steps." Before the words fell, Xiao Xuan was already a few feet away from the steps. Yelu Longxu descended the steps and ran a few steps before he caught up with Xiao Xuan.

Walking into the emperor's camp, I saw that the camp was crowded with grain carriages, and the carts were full of bulging burlap bags, like fat pigs basking in the sun that were full of food and drink, and people couldn't help but step forward and touch them a few times. Xiao Sui touched the sack and checked it, the sack was very heavy.

Xiao Sui asked, "Who robbed this?" ”

Yelu Longxu said, "Lord Jeruho." ”

Xiao Sui said: "Lord Yelu, I haven't heard of this person, what is his current position? ”

Yelu Longxu said, "This man is a junior colonel in the son's camp. ”

Xiao Xuan said: "The junior colonel in the emperor's camp? So capable? Quick, call him over, I want to see him. ”

Yelu Longxu hurriedly ordered the Lord of Yelu to come to see the Queen Mother. After a while, I saw a hairy boy running over, seeing Xiao Xuan, and knocking down.

Xiao Xuan was very happy to see it, and said with a smile: "You are the Lord of Yeluhao?" ”

Lord Yelu said: "Yes, Queen Mother, Lord Yelu is the name given by my Abba and Aunt, here, people don't call me this." ”

Xiao Xuanyue was more happy and said, "Oh, what do they call you here?" ”

Lord Jeroh said, "Some people call me 'little monkey,' and some call me 'little monkey.'" ”

When Xiao Xuan heard this, he laughed out loud, calmed Lord Yelu, and then pointed to the grain and grass and said, "You have robbed all this?" ”

Lord Jeroho said, "I am not alone, but we are a team, and they are all of them." ”

Xiao Xuan looked at the number one hundred and ten people standing in the camp, and said loudly, "You have worked hard. ”

Immediately, an echo came back: "The Queen Mother has worked hard." ”

Xiao Xuan turned around and asked Lord Yelu, "How old are you?" ”

"I'm almost thirteen."

Xiao Sui smiled and said, "It's really a 'little monkey'." ”

Lord Yelu said seriously: "Queen Mother, I'm not young, I've been on the battlefield twice, and I'm a veteran." ”

Xiao Sui said: "Oh, they have been on the battlefield twice, which two battlefields have they been on?" ”

Lord Yelu said: "The first time in Shanxi, Chenjiagu, and this time. ”

Xiao Sui said: "Shanxi Chenjiagu, you fought in Chenjiagu, that's really amazing!" I underestimate you, the battle in Chenjiagu is not easy to fight, what are you doing in Chenjiagu? ”

Lord Jeroh bowed his head, and his voice became quieter, and said, "I did not rush down into the valley. ”

Xiao Sui said: "You didn't go down to the valley, where are you?" ”

Lord Yelu said: "It's all because the marshal didn't let me go down, and I don't even have the face to tell people that I participated in the Battle of Chenjiagu." ”

Xiao Sui laughed when he heard this, and said, "Then what are you doing there?" ”

Lord Jerod said shyly, "I wave the red flag on the mountain, and I will point to the enemy wherever he runs." ”

Xiao Sui said: "Yes, that's a commander, no wonder you can bring so many people." ”

Lord Yelu's face was flushed, and he lowered his head, not daring to look at Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Sui asked, "How did you rob this grain and grass?" ”

Lord Jerod said that the grain and grass were looted in the suburbs of Mozhou. He said that a few days ago, he had found out that the Song army was going to Mozhou to transport grain and grass, so he took his men and horses to ambush on the road, and waited for two days for them to arrive. They were all people, and when they saw them, they scattered in a hurry. So they drove the wagon back to the camp.

Xiao Sui said: "If you dare to rob the Song army's grain and grass outside Mozhou City, aren't you afraid that the Song army will kill you?" ”

Lord Yelu said: "I know this, as long as the Song army in Mozhou goes out of the city, not only will the grain and grass be gone, but even our people will not be able to come back, so in the first two days, I simply let the brothers go from the city with great fanfare, constantly changing the flags, during the day to choose a dense wooded place to plant flags, light fireworks, at night, they beat drums and shouts, creating the appearance of attacking the city, so that the Song army only wants to strengthen the city defense, we will rob the grain and grass back smoothly." ”

Xiao Sui praised: "Good strategy, where did you learn it?" ”

Lord Jerod said, "I learned from the generalissimo." ”

Xiao Sui smiled: "It turned out that I studied with Yu Yue, no wonder I am so smart and capable, learn from him well, and become a generalissimo when I grow up." ”

Lord Yelu said: "Back to the Queen Mother, it's not Lord Yu Yue, it's Lord Taibao. ”

Xiao Xuan frowned and said, "Yelu oblique? He- why did he teach you the art of war? ”

Lord Jeroh straightened his back and said, "He is my uncle." ”

Xiao Xuan looked at the proud Lord Yelu, pondered for a moment, and said, "Do a good job, the emperor will reward you." ”

Lord Yelu hurriedly thanked him, but Xiao Xuan didn't say anything, turned around and left.
