In the sound of laughter and fighting, a pot of porridge has been boiled, and then the fire is extinguished and the stove is closed, and the horn sounds. The noisy scene just now immediately stopped, and the executive officers of all departments in the camp immediately lined up in front of the pot, ready to receive Laba porridge, while the officers and soldiers of each battalion also lined up in the open space on the side of the road.

"Today's Laba, Your Majesty will give you porridge!" After the formation was completed, Ni Liang, the commander of the protectors, stepped forward to salute His Majesty and turned around.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, give porridge, salute!" The executive also raised his hand in salute.

"Your Majesty is mighty, Your Majesty is mighty, Your Majesty is mighty......" The army also immediately stood in solemn salute and shouted in unison.

"Take a break!" Zhao Yu raised his hand and returned the salute, "Today's festival, the army will only be able to spend time with me on the battlefield outside Yangzhou City, and cannot share it with my family, I thank you!" He stood up again and saluted.

"Loyal to the monarch and patriotic, restore my homeland!" The armies will immediately echo in unison.

"Hehe, I personally boiled a few pots of porridge today to share with the army, but unfortunately I am too weak to manage my strength, so I can only express my heart slightly, please don't be surprised!" Zhao Yu put away his stiff face at this time, and knocked the pot with a long spoon and smiled.

The executive officers of the various ministries who were queuing up in front of the "......" were stunned when they heard it, why didn't the little emperor follow the routine, so that they couldn't respond, and the scene was cold for a while.

"Haha, don't stare at it, come and get the porridge, otherwise it will be cold, the first to lead the long way, and the last to the near road!" Zhao Yu succeeded in his prank, laughing.

"The First Regiment of the Fourth Brigade of the Imperial Protector Army, thank Your Majesty for the porridge!" The executive officers in the queue glanced at each other, immediately turned the horizontal line into a column, adjusted their positions, and stood up and saluted.

"Run fast, or you'll be ice porridge!" Zhao Yu returned the salute, and his own guards handed over a food box, the middle was a pottery container, and the outside was an insulation layer woven with pus, which became an ancient incubator, and the effect was naturally not as good as the modern thermal insulation barrel. Zhao Yu said while shaking the porridge with the replaced big scoop.

"Just such a little porridge, how can it be enough for a thousand people, but it's just a show!" Zhang Ting looked at it and said disdainfully.

"Zuo Si's words are bad, it is to learn the allusion of the Han hussar general Huo Quai, who poured wine in the spring and drank with the public, in order to boost morale and buy the hearts of the army, although this move seems simple, it is the most able to buy people's hearts." Ma Shaoyan said, but also thought that he had seen through his intentions, when Huo Qubing defeated the Huns, Emperor Wu gave a jar of imperial wine, rewarded meritorious soldiers, less wine and more people, Huo Qubing poured wine in the spring, drank with the public, and the spring was also named Jiuquan, which has been passed down through the ages. And what made him feel sad was that the master in his city was full, but the granary in the house was full, but he refused to give the slightest reward to the generals, let alone the soldiers and civilians below.

"The Second Regiment of the Fourth Brigade of the Imperial Protector Army, thank Your Majesty for the porridge!" The second place stepped forward and still saluted and received the porridge.

"The Third Regiment of the Fourth Brigade of the Imperial Protector Army, thank Your Majesty for the porridge!"

"The team directly under the Fourth Brigade of the Imperial Front Protector Army, thank Your Majesty for the porridge!"

"The First Regiment of the Fifth Brigade of the Imperial Protector Army, please give your majesty porridge!"

……

"The First Regiment of the First Marine Brigade of the First Marine Division, thank Your Majesty for the porridge!"

"You don't need to sign up one by one, it's long-winded, the porridge is cold, don't I know you yet?" The various ministries reported one by one and stepped forward to receive the porridge, Zhao Yu suddenly realized something, waved his hand and urged. The people behind seemed to understand something, and squinted at the envoy of Meng Yuan, who was 'watching the ceremony', and sure enough, he didn't report the number anymore, but just saluted and thanked him, and left immediately after receiving the porridge.

"It's very vigilant, it's not as careless and profligate as it seems, and it's already aware that we might spy on its military situation!" Seeing this, Zhang Ting glanced at Ma Shao and said softly. At first, he saw the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty frolicking and laughing with the army, without the respect of the superior, and in order to show his benevolence, he summoned the army to give porridge, but he did not avoid himself, and inadvertently leaked the military aircraft, which could not help but be a little contemptuous. However, he quickly discovered the loopholes and remedied them in time, which made his cognition change again.

"Well, it's too late." Ma Shao nodded imperceptibly and replied in a low voice, "It is a regiment as a unit of porridge, as far as I know, there are about 1,000 people in a regiment, about 10,000 people in each division, and in terms of the number of people in the following team, there are 100,000 soldiers!" ”

"The Jiangnan Imperial Court has a total of 300,000 forbidden troops, and the Jiangdong garrison is only more than 100,000, responsible for defending the river defense and guarding Gyeonggi. Zhang Tingyan said.

"Yes, I suspect that the reinforcements of the cardinal commander have not arrived for a long time, but I ordered us to hold Yangzhou at any cost, that is, to take advantage of the emptiness of his troops to attack Jiangdong." It was only then that Massau came to his senses.

"Yes, the cardinal commander is slow to advance the army, probably because he is worried that Jiangdong's soldiers and horses will be strong, and he does not dare to act rashly. If the cardinal commander can be informed of the situation here in time, he can dispel his concerns and boldly cross the river, so that the siege of Yangzhou can also be solved! Zhang Ting also thought it was authentic. However, the Song army had already blocked the siege of Yangzhou, and it was impossible to pass the news to each other, and it was in vain to try to inform them.

"Envoy Ma, Your Majesty of my family invited two envoys to the tent for porridge!" While the two were whispering, a little yellow door came forward to speak.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the porridge!" Only then did Ma Shao find that several large pots of porridge had basically been eaten, and except for the soldiers who stayed on guard in front of the tent, the rest had dispersed, and he hurriedly thanked him and followed him into the tent.

"Meet Your Majesty!" Ma Shao entered the imperial tent, stepped forward to salute, and peeked to find that the large tent was very simply arranged, except for the necessary tables, and in the tent except for a few small yellow doors with attendants, only the officer who had just lit the fire stood behind the emperor. And the little emperor is still dressed in a military uniform, but he looks a little newer than just now.

"Excuse me, give me a seat!" Zhao Yu raised his hand and said casually.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" There is a small yellow door on the table under the emperor's head, let the two of them sit down, put the dishes and chopsticks, and send a bowl of Laba porridge and a few side dishes, the dishes are very ordinary, and they are not exquisite.

Then there was silence in the tent, the little emperor didn't ask, and Ma Shao didn't dare to say more. He peeked up, and saw that he was just concentrating on eating, and the dishes were no different from theirs, but the food was very fragrant, and he didn't squint at all. But the two of them had something to do, where did they have the heart to eat, they drank porridge without a sip, pondering what the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty wanted to do, worried about detaining them in the Song camp, this kind of thing had not happened before.

"What's not to taste?" Just when the two were thinking wildly, Zhao Yu was actually secretly paying attention to the two, seeing that they looked uncertain, eating like chewing wax, and secretly laughed. But after still finishing the porridge in the bowl and sweeping away a few side dishes, he took the silk handkerchief handed over by Xiao Huangmen and wiped his hands and asked.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that I've already eaten in the next life, and I really can't eat it!" Ma Shao looked at the bowl on the royal case, but he had most of it left, and hurriedly gave his hand to explain.

"Oh, it seems that the envoys have not been hungry. But I still worry about food, and I always worry that I will go hungry one day, which really makes you laugh. Zhao Hao laughed self-deprecatingly.

"This ......" Ma Shao couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, and looked at the food on the table and didn't know whether it was better to eat it or not.

"Now that the envoy has eaten enough and the gifts have been delivered, then let's go back to the city and resume my life!" Zhao Yu got up at this time and wanted to walk aisle.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, please stay! Ma Shao was anxious when he heard this, and he risked his life to go deep into the enemy camp to send a heavy gift, and finally saw the main owner, and sent away with only a bowl of porridge, which was simply nothing more than Zheng Tanhua who scolded when he met, and the little good feeling he had just had for him immediately disappeared.

"What else?" Zhao Yu stopped and twisted his face and asked.

"Your Majesty is benevolent, the people of Yangzhou City are innocent, if you can withdraw your troops as soon as possible. Hundreds of thousands of people in the city will always feel Your Majesty's kindness! Ma Shao said with a deep salute.

"Withdraw troops?! Mengyuan has no way, and the people of Lianghuai are living in dire straits, and I use the army to go on a northern expedition to relieve the suffering of all people. Why don't the envoys sacrifice the city and surrender, so that not only do they avoid the sword soldiers, but also save the people from fire and water, this is a great kindness, and I will naturally not treat the envoys badly. Zhao Yu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, turned around and sat down.

His Majesty laughed, although he was not talented, he also understood the truth of the matter of being loyal to the king. I am a great official, and I will not betray the Lord! Ma Shao is an upright person, and he already feels that he has lost face when he comes to beg for peace, but the other party persuades him to surrender instead, although he suppresses his anger, he also said with a sullen face, "Your Majesty, God has the virtue of a good life." The two countries had previously agreed to take the Great River as the boundary and not disturb each other, but His Majesty violated the border for no reason and slaughtered the soldiers and civilians of our DPRK, which is unjust; The people of Yangzhou are innocent, and now His Majesty has repeatedly attacked the city, with huge casualties and destroyed houses, which is unkind...... "Ma Shao saw that the little emperor sat down again, and felt that his words moved him, so he stood up and prepared to persuade him with great righteousness.

"It's the envoy who said it was a joke, right?" Zhao Hao looked at his appearance of daring to be angry and didn't dare to speak, as if he had taken advantage of it, but he changed his face and sneered, "The truth of raising soldiers for 10,000 days to consume fighting gold, Ma Envoy won't understand, right!" I raised tens of thousands of troops for the Northern Expedition, fought more than 10 battles, lost troops and lost generals, and spent countless money and food. Just because the horse envoy's fluttering sentence of 'benevolence' returned in vain, is there such a truth in the world? ”

"When leaving the city, the king of Zhennan said that as long as His Majesty is willing to withdraw the royal division, he will try his best to meet any requirements!" Zhang Ting was about to stiffen when he saw the two of them for a few words, and secretly blamed Ma Shao for being pedantic. Where is there so much righteousness in this world, Dayuan conquered the Quartet, attacked the city and plundered the land, killed tens of millions, it stands to reason that not only the two Huai, the Central Plains are the homeland of the Great Song Dynasty, and you are not happy to talk about righteousness. And he also heard a little extraneous meaning from the words of the little emperor, understood his thoughts, and then tried to say.

"Well, since King Zhennan has something to say first, then we can still discuss a thing or two. And I am not a person of good fortune, but the army sent out and returned empty-handed, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the army, and I will not be able to explain it when I return to the court. Zhao Yu nodded when he heard this, and said with a slightly slower face......
