The tangled expression struggled on the old man's face, everyone looked at his face and mouth shape, this respected old man was the only pillar in the hearts of the people, and the old man finally nodded fiercely: "Okay!" Let's eat it, big guy! Women and children eat first, and then the men eat after eating, and we old immortals stay at the end! ”

Listening to the old man's words, Peng Qi was in awe, women and children are the hope of the future, men are the pillars of the family, and these old men are afraid that the food will not be enough, and they are willing to sacrifice themselves, but also let the future generations be full.

"Even if the old man eats, do you see if this food is enough for you to eat?"

The old man waved his hand weakly: "Don't deceive the old man, these are military rations, and you have to pay attention to the army!" ”

"Eat! Even if you eat, it's not enough! ”

A high-pitched voice sounded so that many people turned their heads to watch, Cai Boyu turned over and dismounted and walked towards Peng Qidao: "There is still grain and grass in the back, the official family and the ministers of the two prefectures are worried that the Liao people are strong and clear, so they specially transferred food from Jinghu, which is enough for the people of our Yanyun land, and when we get through the green and yellow, is there still a shortage of food?" ”

"These grains are allocated by the imperial court to the soldiers, how can you make your own decisions without the consent of the officials?!"

The untimely voice sounded, and Cai Boyu didn't look back to know that it was Bao Zheng who said, who else besides him regarded the rules as more important than human life? Slightly dissatisfied, he said: "The official family will definitely agree if they know it!" ”

"The law of the country is like a mountain, even if the official agrees, you should do this after receiving the decree!"

Peng Qi forgot to glance at the people who stopped and said: "You can eat casually, why do you care about the words of a sour and rotten Confucian?" Our officials in the Great Song Dynasty are notoriously lenient, if you know that we will definitely punish us and others if we watch the people of the Great Song Dynasty starve and do not help, you don't want to watch this general be punished, right? Military law in the army is very harsh! ”

After speaking, Peng Qi glared at Cai Boyu, this kid has been outside for so long and has no eyesight at all, why don't you drag this old man away?!

After Cai Boyu received the look, he dragged Bao Zheng away stiffly, and whispered as he walked: "Pedanty, pedantic!" Peng Qi is earning a good reputation for the official family, and also letting the people of Yanyun know the benevolence of our Great Song Emperor, isn't your disturbance ruining the reputation of the official family? Even if Peng Qi is wrong, you shouldn't expose it in front of the people! ”

Bao Zheng frowned and said: "A mistake is a mistake, why can't you poke it in front of the people?" ”

Cai Boyu was really defeated by Bao Zheng's old-fashionedness, and sighed and said: "You don't want to think about how much your words about piercing him in front of the people will deal a blow to Peng Qi's reputation, right?" Yes...... Even if Peng Qi doesn't want to be famous, is the reputation of the official family ruined by you! ”

Bao Zheng's face changed, he just thought that Peng Qi should not fake the will of the official family, completely forgot about this one, looked at Cai Boyu, who was more than ten years younger than him, and said: "The old man you said really didn't expect it." ”

Cai Boyu waved his hand and said: "Your old bag is just too upright, you can't tolerate other people's mistakes at all, and you don't want to think about it, how long Peng Qi has been in front of the official family, can you say those bottomless words without permission?" ”

After Cai Boyu finished speaking, he saw Bao Zheng standing in a daze, pulled him and said: "Don't think about it, Peng Qi will escort us to Xijin Mansion to meet the official family later, and then see what Peng Qi says!" ”

Bao Zheng nodded and turned over on the horse, yes, when he got to the official, he understood everything, if Peng Qi dared not report to the official, he would definitely be accused of falsely transmitting the holy decree!

Peng Qi has not spoken to him all the way since he was exposed by Bao Zheng, and Bao Zheng naturally will not take the initiative to talk to him in a boring way, only Cai Boyu explained in the middle, after all, he knows Peng Qi's personality and Bao Zheng's character, they are all errands for the country, there is no need to make the relationship so stiff.

There are only seven or eight miles between Liangxiang and Xijin Mansion, at most a meal of effort, the only trouble is that there is a Sanggan River in the middle, when crossing the river, Peng Qi and a group of soldiers turned over and dismounted, saluted the river, and a lot of robes in the first battle of Xijin Mansion were sacrificed in this not wide river.

Others don't know the tragedy of the battle of Xijin Mansion, this is the most stubborn city encountered since the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty, the Liao people deployed heavy troops here, even if the artillery of the Great Song Dynasty is huge, it is not easy to take the city, the collapsed city wall Liao people use soldiers to block, even if the battle is over for a month, the city wall is still full of devastation.

Cai Boyu was speechless after seeing the city wall, there are still blackened blood stains on the high city wall, and there are still some arrow clusters inserted into the cracks of the masonry on the wall, the good city wall is hit by cannonballs, and the potholes and potholes are almost impossible to find a smooth place, and thick black smoke floats in the northwest direction outside the city, in Peng Qi's words, this is burning those soldiers who are too injured and died, and the official family wants to bring their ashes back to the Great Song Dynasty for burial......

Cai Boyu and Bao Zheng followed Peng Qi into the city gate after they felt suddenly enlightened, located in the north of the Xijin Mansion and Tokyo City style is completely different, it is more rugged than the Tokyo City, although the city is not as big as Tokyo City, but it gives people a very wide feeling, this is probably the style of the Khitan people who have been running here for a long time!

At this time, the slightly wide streets were full of the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty and the craftsmen who came and went, and the first time Zhao Zhen did it was to repair the city wall and consolidate the city defense, and the stronghold that the Great Song Dynasty paid such a big price to take must not be lost again.

Peng Qi looked at Cai Boyu and said: "You are the companion of the official family, and you know the temperament of the official family best, and this attack on Xijin Mansion and my Great Song Dynasty lost nearly 10,000 people......

Cai Boyu's mouth was big, his face became extremely ugly, and he stretched out a finger and shook it in front of Peng Qi: "More than 10,000 people died in this siege battle?" My 10,000 soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are gone?! ”

Peng Qi nodded with a heavy face, while Cai Boyu said with a pale face: "It's bad, it's bad, the official family is going crazy now......"

Bao Zheng frowned and said: "The soldiers are the fangs of the country, killing the enemy on the battlefield, and the horse leather shroud, no matter how sparse and ordinary it is, the official family ......."

"You know what?! The official family regards every forbidden army and every soldier as a treasure, even if he loses one, he has been distressed for a long time, and now he has lost more than 10,000 people, and the official family is afraid that it is already uncomfortable. Do you know that the officials treat the soldiers as robes rather than minions? Do you know what the officials call the soldiers?

Soldiers! These forbidden soldiers are like children in the eyes of the officials, and now they are ...... Alas! ”

Cai Boyu's scolding made Bao Zheng's old face red, he was the first time to see Cai Boyu angry, he was never angry, the official family can treat the forbidden army as a child of the heavenly family, it can be seen that they are really very important, he is also calm, nodded and said embarrassedly: "It's the old man who is wrong, here is not it for the soldiers to accompany him, or hurry up and go to meet the official's house!" ”

The crowded streets made it more difficult for them to meet Zhao Zhen......
