After the two armies met, Li Zhongyi and the Khitans worked hard to make a lot more solid than before.

The Zhejia army came from thousands of miles to help, whether it was public or private, Li Zhongyi must fulfill the responsibilities and obligations of the host.

In the back tent of the Chinese army, Li Zhongyi led the leading figures of the Li family, including Yang Lie, Liu Heyang and Ma Guangda, to accompany Zhecongruan and drink tea to catch up.

Li Yunxiao gathered the rest of the generals of the Zhejia army, and each of them rested and eat.

Due to the march, the rations of the Li family's army were basically based on pancakes. In addition to the characteristics of a long shelf life, the flour milled by the stone mill must be mixed with salt water so that the officers and men can maintain their physical strength in battle.

The soldiers of the Zhejia Army soaked the pancakes with all the color and flavor into a big bowl of piping hot pork soup, accompanied by pickled radishes with dogwood, and they were sweating profusely one by one, hearty, and frequently shouting.

Due to Li Yunxiao's special instructions, the cooks in the army deliberately added a little pig water or offal to the bowl of each soldier of the Zhejia Army when serving the soup.

In these years, due to the serious shortage of materials, mutton was too expensive, cattle were not allowed to be slaughtered at will, and the pork eaten by inferior people tasted too strong, even in the Folding Army, ordinary soldiers rarely ate a mouthful of meat a year.

Now, under Li Zhongyi's hospitality, the soldiers of the Zhejia Army have opened their bellies and eaten a lot.

Li Yunxiao secretly observed for a long time, and when he saw that the officers and soldiers of the Zhe family were all smiling, obviously eating very comfortably, he nodded secretly. What I eat is pork, but what I harvest is the sincere friendship of my family.

Although the Zhi and Li families are in-laws, they are still prosperous allies. But after all, they are two families, each with its own fundamental interests, and some details of hospitality must not be sloppy at all!

Zhi Yunshui didn't follow Zhi Congruan's side, he couldn't stand the old foxes' roundabout way of chatting, and quietly slipped out of the big tent, wanting to blend into the camp of the Li family. Satisfy your curiosity.

However, after Zheyunshui walked out of the gate of the Chinese army, he was in front of the camp gate on the left. Without any suspense, the chief who was guarding the door stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Bang!" Shi Chang beat his chest and saluted, and said very politely, "According to military regulations." Ask the Shangguan to show the waist card and password. ”

"What is a password?" Zhe Yunshui stared at Na Shi Chang in surprise. He wore a helmet and a long sword at his waist, and he was followed by a large group of close-fitting tooth soldiers, who should know at a glance that he was a senior general of the Zhejia army.

Zhe Yunshui actually knew that the waist card was used to prove his identity, but he didn't quite understand, what was the password?

Then. A rich man's voice came from behind Zhiyun Shui, "Get a man." ”

Zheyunshui turned to look over. But I saw that it was an officer who had been standing beside Li Zhongyi, this person had two circles of gold thread embroidered on his cuffs, his face was full of beard, and his complexion was as black as ink.

The person who came was none other than Li Zhongyi's commander of the first battalion in the Yanei, Li Fifteen, who was ordered to lead the curious Zheyunshui.

Shi Chang beat his chest and saluted, and said loudly: "Please ask Commander Li to show the waist card." "The full-time herald next to the coach, it's impossible not to know this chief.

However, even if Li 15 is the commander's confidant, the chief must be interrogated in accordance with the duties stipulated in military law.

Under the nose of Zhe Yunshui, Li 15 walked in front of Shi Chang and handed over a special gold waist card representing Li Zhongyi himself with both hands.

After carefully inspecting it, Shi Chang handed back the waist card with both hands, beat his chest again, saluted, and said loudly: "Please Commander Li to enter the camp, and the lower official will send someone to inform the upper official." ”

Li 15 nodded and said with a smile: "Everyone is doing their duty, and no one can violate military law." ”

After reading the whole process silently, Zhi Yunshui couldn't help nodding secretly, and sighed with emotion: The strict military discipline of the Li family army is simply outrageous.

It can be seen from this that it was no fluke or accident that the Li Jiajun was able to sneak an attack on the elite cavalry of the Khitans who defeated the Khitans.

Li 15 accompanied Zheyunshui into the barracks on the left side, and he introduced with a smile: "This place is the garrison of the First Army of the Right Guard, and Shangguan is the commander of Liu Du. ”

Zhi Yunshui heard Yang Lie introduce Liu Heyang's identity, and knew that this person was one of the senior generals of Yulin Right Guard, and he was the backbone of Li Zhongyi's henchmen.

Putting aside the ability to command and fight, Liu Heyang chose Li Zhongyi's political vision early on, which is quite admirable.

In fact, Zheyunshui is no stranger to Liu Heyang's name.

As a rising general of the Zhi family, Zheyun Shui has received the most professional family military education in this era since he was a child. Whether it is an enemy army or a high-ranking general of an ally, even if you have not seen them, at least you have heard of their deeds and exploits.

About Liu Heyang's past deeds, Zhi Yunshui knows a lot, and the most important one is that after following Li Zhongyi's eastward expedition to Goryeo, this person became one of Li Zhongyi's most loyal subordinates.

As the old saying goes, good birds choose trees to perch, and for Liu Heyang's shrewdness and ability, just hearing about it is enough to make Zhiyunshui have a very intuitive feeling: smart people!

In fact, prior to this military dispatch, the family had held no less than five family meetings. After all, it is a major event that determines the fate and future of the entire family, and if you stand on the wrong team, the entire folding family is likely to face annihilation.

As the best of the grandchildren of the Zhi family, coupled with the deliberate support of Zhi Congruan, Zhi Yunshui was fortunate to participate in the most confidential meeting of the family.

At the meeting, most of the Zhe family members supported becoming Li Zhongyi's hardcore allies, and the reason was obvious: Li Zhongyi was not only the grandson-in-law of the Zhe family, but also one of the political ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and more importantly, he also held male soldiers, and his potential power obviously exceeded that of the generals of the Great Zhou court.

In fact, even if Zhe Congruan likes to fold Saihua, if Li Zhongyi is a mud who can't support the wall, the Zhe family will not be an enemy at most.

Feelings belong to feelings, interests belong to interests, and warlords have their own rules of interests, and they cannot afford to make a mistake.

After Zheyunshui entered Liu Heyang's camp, he raised his eyes and saw several groups of huge horse-rejecting piles lying in front of him, swinging in a zigzag shape, and the foot of the pile was deeply rooted in the ground.

Li 15 stretched out his hand in time to stop it, and was about to approach the rejection of the horse pile, and explained with a smile: "Not a young general, there are deep pits dug in front of this rejection pile. ”

Zheyunshui couldn't help but look at the ground, and it took a lot of effort to find that the edge in front of the horse rejection pile was scattered with floating soil that had not been cleaned up.

In an instant, Zhe Yunshui's white face turned red, he was still a rising star of the Zhe family, if it wasn't for Li Shifu blocking him and letting him fall into the pit, hehe, the face of the old Zhe family would definitely be completely lost by him.

Before rejecting the horse pile, a deep hidden pit was dug, apparently to prevent the enemy cavalry from driving straight into the sneak attack.

After crossing the horse rejection pile, Zhe Yunshui's eyes suddenly opened up, and he saw that the soldiers of the Li Jiajun were holding dishes and chopsticks in their hands, lining up in an orderly manner, quietly waiting to receive the meal.

At the outermost end of the queue, dozens of officers and soldiers wearing white helmets, red armbands on their arms, and thick sticks of white and red lacquer were standing.

Zhi Yunshui turned his head with some curiosity and asked Li Fifteen: "Brother Li, why are the costumes of these soldiers so different?" ”

Li 15 said with a smile: "These officers and soldiers are the 'military police' in the army, that is, those who are specifically responsible for maintaining military discipline. In order to let everyone know the identity of the gendarmerie at a glance, and not dare to make a mistake, their costumes are specially made. ”

"A gendarmerie at the rank of officer?" Zhi Yunshui lowered his head, pondered carefully, and couldn't help but light up.

In the Folding Family Army, because everyone is more or less related to each other, they are not family members, but also neighbors of the villagers. Due to the interference of human feelings, when there is no war, the military discipline of the Zhejia army can hardly be called strict.

"Yes, disobeying the orders of the gendarmes is a felony in the army. Violators, regardless of the rank of officer, were directly demoted to ordinary soldiers, relegated to the death camp, and were given fifty rods. Li Shifu talked eloquently, but Zhi Yunshui was dumbfounded, he never dreamed that Li Jiajun's military regulations would be so strict.

"So...... How much violators? Zhi Yunshui asked Li Fifteen with some uncertainty.

Li 15 smiled faintly and said, "Don't hide it from the young general, so far I haven't seen anyone who dares to disobey the order of the gendarmerie. This is because, both officers and men must pass the examination of the provisions of military law, and only those who pass the test are eligible to officially enter the camp or be promoted. ”

Zhi Yunshui was not a stupid person in the first place, he thought about it silently, and then realized that Li Jiajun's education of military regulations has been meticulous and leaky, which is really terrifying!

Thinking of the illegal and disorderly phenomena that appear from time to time in the Zhejia army, Zheyunshui can't help but sigh secretly, strict military discipline is easier said than done!

Accompanied by Li Fifteen, Zhi Yunshui continued to walk forward, and after crossing the long queue, he finally came to the front of the firemen.

I saw that in front of each fireman, there was a large cake basket on the left hand, and on the right hand side was a large pot of steaming and fragrant pork and white radish soup.

The soldiers walked up to the fireman in turn, and loudly reported their food, or said three cakes, or two cakes, and the most soldier said, five cakes, Zhi Yunshui was dumbfounded when he heard it, and secretly sighed: What a rice bucket!

The firemen had no time to gossip at all, grabbing bread with their left hand and serving soup with their right hand, and after the soldiers had eaten, they turned around and left, never delaying the time for the robes behind.

Zhi Yunshui's eyes chased after a delicate-looking soldier, only to see that the soldier was holding a large soup bowl, squatting aside very casually, taking a bite of soup and a bite of cake with relish, and eating it very sweetly.

"Huh?" Zhi Yunshui's heart moved slightly, turned around and walked to the front of the nearest fireman, and said loudly: "Two cakes, a bowl of soup." ”

Li Shifu didn't expect Zheyunshui to do this, and was about to dissuade him, but he heard the roar of one of the nearest gendarmes, "Those who cut in line without permission, five strokes of the cane, get out quickly." ”

Zhi Yunshui turned his head and saw that two gendarmes wearing white helmets were angrily carrying thick sticks and rushed towards him, he was immediately dumbfounded, is this the trouble? (To be continued.) )
