Chapter 223: Military Rations

On the seventh day of October, Marshal Liu's "first seventh" is also the day of the funeral.

The third son of Marshal Liu, who was "sick", finally appeared.

The teenager was no longer the arrogant and reckless nature he had before, and his face drooped and he quieted down.

Everyone was not surprised to see it.

The Liu family has had a series of changes in the past two months, and it is time to grow up, and if you don't grow up, you will have no heart and lungs.

It's just that the young man looked like a frightened chick when he saw the third apprentice, which also made people sigh in their hearts.

Tiger Father and Dog Son.

Liu Da and Liu Er certainly have shortcomings, but they are also characters who can be picked up when they speak and act, and this Liu San's temperament is really unbearable.

In order to hurry, the funeral procession began to assemble when it entered the watch.

The second watch sounded, and the army prepared to leave Lingshui County.

Huo Bao and Ma Zhai are not to mention the sacrificial guests, the leaders of the Bozhou army all sent Marshal Liu on this last journey.

Marshal Liu's bereaved family, a wife, a concubine, a son, a daughter and a granddaughter, as well as Liu's daughter, are among the mourners.

Marshal Liu's coffin was selected from the Bozhou army to select 500 wrenx, divided into five shifts, 100 people in each class, and took turns to carry the coffin forward.

……

The weather in October is already early winter.

Although Huainan has a pleasant climate and does not turn into frost, it feels cold sooner or later.

In the silence of the night, there was the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps.

Everyone hurried in the middle of the night to arrive at Chushan before noon.

Nowadays, except for the funeral can be buried in the afternoon, everything else must be buried in the morning.

Marshal Liu was in his early fifties, and he died of a sudden illness, which was really not a happy mourning.

Huo Bao put on a small wool cloak, rode on a horse, and watched the fire in front of him.

The march is not slow.

If this speed is maintained, it should be possible to reach Chushan at the beginning.

Wait until noon for the camp funeral, and everyone will be able to say goodbye to the Bozhou army.

It was too late to rush back to Jinling today, and the soldiers were tired from traveling far away, so they just rested in Chuzhou for a day, and set off to return to Jinling the day after tomorrow, and they could arrive at Jinling on October 12.

Huo Bao was thinking about it, when he heard the owner of the horse village next to him sneeze heavily.

Seeing this, Huo Bao hurriedly looked over, and saw that the owner of the horse village took a handkerchief to wipe his nose, and said busily: "Sixth uncle, it's windy at night, you still get in the car, right?" ”

On this trip, the Chuzhou army brought a few carriages, loaded the funeral rites, and prepared them to ride.

As he spoke, the owner of the horse village sneezed twice in succession, and said: "The climate in Huainan is not as good as Jinling, so it's cold when it is cold......

The water entered the side, and also persuaded the owner of the horse village to take the car.

The owner of the horse village was impatient with the bumps in the carriage, but when he saw Huo Bao's thin figure, he was not at ease, and beckoned: "Then I will take the car, and Xiaobao ......will come over together."

This is for fear that Huo Bao will be uncomfortable after eating the night wind.

Huo Bao did not refuse, turned over and dismounted, and helped the owner of the horse village to get into the carriage.

The carriage was very spacious, with two small corner lights and a few cushions.

Not to mention two people sitting, even lying down is enough.

It's just that the road is bumpy, and you really have to lie down, and you have to turn it into a pancake.

"Your uncle...... Let's stay farther away! ”

The master of the horse village said softly.

It is said that they are inseparable, but in the eyes of the owner of the horse village, he didn't think about this.

He thought that his relationship with the Huo family's father and son was closer than that of the third apprentice.

Huo Bao also thought this in his heart, nodded and said, "Well, there shouldn't be much to deal with in the future......

Historically, it took more than a decade for the current imperial court to fall apart.

Even if the butterfly's wings are fanned and the process is accelerated, it will take three or five years of effort.

After ten miles out of Lingshui County, the mountain road began, and the carriage was even more bumpy.

The owner of the horse village held on to the side, grinned with his teeth upside down, and said, "Damn, the butt is split into two pieces!" Next time, Uncle Six won't come out, let's enjoy the cats in Jinling in the future! ”

Huo Bao's chest was thrust, and when he remembered something, he took out a small box of candied fruit from the small box under the lamp.

This is what Xiuxiu asked people to prepare.

They are all pickled plums, one is red plum, the other is green plum, and it is said to be anti-motion sickness.

Now is the right time.

"Sixth uncle, give!"

Huo Bao opened it and handed it over.

The owner of the horse village took two and put them in his mouth, and he was sour, but he was a lot more comfortable: "Good thing, Xiuxiu, this girl is careful!" ”

Huo Bao also took two pickled plums and put them in his mouth, spoke with gusto, nodded and agreed: "It's like a little adult, but it's rare to be thoughtful!" ”

The owner of Ma Zhai looked at Huo Bao, raised his eyebrows and said, "The Han family has formed an alliance with your uncle...... Guess what, what is the bond of this alliance? What does the Han family do, so don't worry about handing over the lives of the clansmen and thousands of men and horses to your uncle? ”

Huo Bao was silent.

If it's someone else, it may be difficult to guess.

Han family?

Originally, it was through the relationship between in-laws, but what I can think of and believe is only the relationship between in-laws.

The three disciples have no children, and the Liu family must keep their father's filial piety.

At this time, it is just right for the Han family to "take a wife as a daughter", which is not right, it can only be said that "a concubine is a daughter".

I heard that General Han's eldest daughter is in her prime.

Huo Bao couldn't help frowning: "That uncle ...... over there"

No wonder the Liu family saw him this time, and his behavior was different, most likely because he knew about it and gave birth to the idea of an adopted son.

The master of Ma Zhai said: "Without Marshal Liu as a backer, the Liu family doesn't care how the pioneers act...... In the future, she can only be a good wife......"

The owner of the horse village is not a tongue-chewing character, and he muttered a few words, so as to mention Huo Bao, he closed his mouth and squinted his eyes.

Huo Bao couldn't help but think of the controversy in the aftermath.

Taizu's first sons, were they born after the Yuan Dynasty?

Various experts have studied the evidence, and the results have been varied.

No matter what, the Liu family in this world is afraid that it is really difficult to give birth.

Here in the third place, the nephew has not yet appeared, the parents and children have not been found, and there will be instability in the future.

But that was many years later.

……

The Chuzhou army was 6,000, the Bozhou army was 6,000, plus dozens of carriages.

The team started from the second watch day and did not stop until the fifth watch day.

More than half of the process passed, and the strength of the soldiers was almost consumed.

The marching stoves were all set up.

The third disciple asked someone to send ten truckloads of grain over, and the owner of the horse village asked someone to accept it, but what he ate was still the military ration "instant noodles" brought by the Chuzhou army.

It is indeed "instant noodles", but there is no frying step, and it is baked instead.

There are white flour and mixed flour.

With the prepared cooking kit and boiling water, it was ready in a quarter of an hour.

After a while, the Chuzhou military camp was filled with the smell of noodles.

"Tsk! We can't get enough of our military rations! In the Lingshui camp for the past two days, I have been hungry for this bite! ”

"Yes, after eating this, I really don't like porridge!"

"What kind of porridge is also divided into porridge, the convenient porridge that Xiao Bao Ye asked someone to study is also fragrant!"

"That's true, there's meat foam in it, can it still be fragrant?"

The soldiers were satisfied.

The Bozhou army next door, holding an empty bowl and waiting for the porridge to be cooked, looked pitiful.

"What does it smell like? So fragrant? ”

"What else? Generals small stove, right? ”

"How many small stoves do you have to burn, and the smell has reached us?"

"You can't stew, do you? Is this on the way to the funeral? ”

"What's wrong with the funeral? Our village white mat also specializes in steamed meat! ”

“……”

There are those who are familiar with the Chuzhou army, and they touched it along with the taste.

Such as Zheng Ji, such as Chen Dazhi.

Needless to say, Zheng Ji's little follower before Shui Jin is now a heavy person under the command of the third apprentice.

Chen Dazhi is Chen Yi's nephew, the former Binjiang County Lieutenant, Shui Jin's subordinate defeated, and he has a friendship with Shui Jin.

Watching Huo Bao, Ma Zhai and others eating hot and fragrant noodles, these two unceremoniously took the empty bowl to share the profits.

"It smells so good!"

Zheng Ji ate three bowls in a row before he was reluctant to put down the empty bowl.

Shui Jin and Yourong said: "It's all figured out by Xiaobao!" Xiaobao is filial, and he is afraid that the fifth master will not eat well outside, so he figured out this with others, in addition to noodles, there is also meat porridge, which is all delicious food that can be obtained immediately! ”

The children of the Guo family researched the final results, but they did not dare to take the credit of Huo Bao.

If it weren't for Huo Bao's ideas and directions, they would not have been able to figure out such a good thing.

It's just that Huo Wu felt sorry for his son and didn't want him to have a little controversy left outside, so he added the antecedent that in order to honor himself, outsiders in the province misunderstood that Huo Bao was not doing his job.

Zheng Ji has dealt with Huo Bao, and he is also familiar with each other, so he gave Huo Bao a thumbs up: "Little Bao Ye is good, you have to keep a few catties for this!" And that meat porridge, we want to try it too! ”

Huo Bao replied with a smile: "Brother Zheng, don't worry, go back and ask someone to leave ten catties for you!" ”

Zheng Ji immediately smiled: "That's really good, go back and let a few brothers taste it!" ”

Chen's eldest nephew held the bowl in his hand and looked at Huo Bao and the owner of Ma Zhai and the others.

Because the two of them came over to eat, one pot of noodles was not enough, so another pot was added.

He saw this speed, and knew in his heart that this was the most suitable for military rations.

But these people didn't mean to hide it, but they were generous.

Huo Bao didn't mean to hide it.

This thing is easy to learn, if the Bozhou army has the heart to investigate, how can they figure it out.

If you want to learn, you can study, but with the current situation of the Bozhou Army, if you want to equip instant noodles and porridge as military rations, I am afraid that you still can't.

The Bozhou army is too poor.

After everyone finished eating, someone came to look for water.

The water goes in and gets up and goes out.

One less moment.

The water came in, but his face was not good, and he looked at the crowd: "The front is not quite right, the scouts are sent out, and there is no response!" ”
