Yang Huairen carefully looked at the general who had just jumped off the horse, he looked about thirty years old, more than six feet long, his face was quite handsome, and there was still a bit of poetry and literature between his eyebrows and eyes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that it may be because of the long-term garrison in the northwest border, the skin is a little rough, the cheeks are slightly purple, and with a beard, it looks a little vicissitudes.

He wears a bright silver hood on his head, wears brass chain armor, and is dressed as a general to set off his sassy heroic appearance, but Yang Huairen doesn't know this general, thinking that this is the first time the two have met, how can he recognize me at a glance?

Yang Huairen took a step forward and returned the salute with a fist, "No need to be polite, I don't know what to call this general Xiaohou?" ”

The shopkeeper stood up with a smile, walked to Yang Huairen's side and introduced him, "Master Hou, this is General Yang Shihu Yang, the capital of the Tongyuan Army in Huanzhou, our ranch can be built so smoothly on the ground in Huanzhou, thank you General Yang." ”

Oh, I see, Yang Huairen said in his heart, listening to the name, this Yang Shihu and he are still from his own family, thinking that this is the general of the garrison who Tony Gui mentioned earlier that he has always taken good care of the pastures in Huanzhou.

He has only arrived in Huanzhou on the first day, and he has not yet entered Tongyuan County, so this General Yang Shihu can come to meet him, it seems that it is Tony's expensive arrangement, since the shopkeeper can invite him to meet with him, it seems that this person should be a good person in the eyes of the shopkeeper, and he is also a friend worth dating.

Yang Huairen hurriedly invited Yang Shihu to sit with the two junior colonels who came with him, and then asked with a smile, "General Yang has good eyesight, I don't know how the general recognized him at a glance?" ”

Yang Shihu saw that Yang Huairen treated people very kindly, without any aristocrats, his heart was very useful, and he returned in a hearty voice, "The last general used to follow the general of You Shixiong, and he was a small general under the command of the general manager, and later he was promoted to the military capital Yuhou, so he was sent to Huanzhou.

After Yang Houye was given the title, the last general received the will of the imperial court, and received a letter from the general manager of You, helping Hou Ye to build a pasture for storing cattle and sheep on the border of Huanzhou. ”

"The general's words can be annoying to Xiaohou, and Xiaohou is grateful to have the general's help."

Yang Shihu laughed, "Master Hou is polite, the last general really doesn't dare to be." Hou Ye invented a new type of military rations, and the generals of our border army are really grateful, and the last general just helped the shopkeeper choose such a place, and he didn't make much effort.

As for how to recognize Hou Ye at a glance, it is thanks to the many things that the shopkeeper told the last general. For example, the design of the purchase of yaks from Tibet can be said to have tied up a great favor for our border troops.

The Northwest Frontier Army, surrounded by wolves, has Tubo in the west, Western Xia in the northwest, and Khitan in the north, although there has been no large-scale war for many years, but the border land, it is not uncommon to be repeatedly harassed by these Hu people.

It is rumored that Tubo, Western Xia, and Daliao intend to form an alliance in the northwest to jointly exert pressure on our Great Song Dynasty.

But Hou Ye's clever plan has ruined their alliance, and he will finally express his gratitude to Hou Ye for all the soldiers and civilians in the northwest borderlands. ”

Yang Huairen listened to what he said, which confirmed his conjecture about Yang Shihu, this General Yang is not only a border army general who leads the troops, but also a literate Confucian general.

The purchase of yak with the eastern parts of Tubo, at the beginning, his purpose was very simple, that is, to solve the problem of using beef in Suiyuan, as for the gratifying results later, it can only be regarded as a crooked fight, the blind cat meets the dead mouse, listening to Yang Shihu so exalted him, Yang Huairen is still a little embarrassed in his heart.

"General Yang praised it falsely, and it was just a crooked hit, and it was just a crooked hit."

"Hou Ye is too modest, Hou Ye is talented, not comparable to our vulgar generals, Hou Ye has a strategy, can top 100,000 border soldiers, Hou Ye is coming to Huanzhou this time, the last general must ask Hou Ye to inspect the barracks as a guest, and give good guidance."

Yang Shihu said sincerely, it was really not pretended, but Yang Huairen was a little embarrassed, he had a few catties and a few taels he knew very well, cooking a few delicious dishes, or playing a little clever to make some money, he was good at it, directing other people's military affairs, isn't this a layman commanding an insider?

If it is a change of things, Yang Huairen will pretend to go back to the brick house and ask the beast to be in the limelight, but military affairs are no trivial matter, in case he casually says something that delays the normal armament and training of others, this is absolutely unacceptable.

But what people said was so sincere, if he rejected them directly, it seemed that he would not give face to others. Yang Shihu, as the supreme general of Huanzhou, a military capital Yu Hou, is also a real military commander from Wupin, and in the future, his own pasture will rely on the care of others on the boundary of Huanzhou for a long time, so he has to give people a long face, right?

So Yang Huairen thought of a way to pretend to accept it, and then divert the topic, hoping that Yang Shihu would forget about it.

"I can't talk about guidance, if the general has free time one day, Xiaohou is willing to take a few of my brothers to study in the general's barracks.

By the way, Xiaohou, the black bull brother, is still a martial artist. ”

As he spoke, Yang Huairen pulled Brother Hei Niu over and asked him to accompany Yang Shihu to talk for a while. He had already seen the moment Brother Hei Niu saw Yang Shihu, and his eyes showed a look of admiration and admiration.

Brother Hei Niu hurriedly got up and came over to greet Yang Shihu, and asked about the daily life of the border army.

Yang Shihu took a look at these men who followed Yang Huairen, all of them looked extraordinary, and people like him who had been on the battlefield for a long time could see at first glance that most of these people were martial artists with martial arts.

It's just that these warriors live in the calm and peaceful land of the Central Plains all the year round, and they have never experienced the scenery of the border land, and they are even more curious about the affairs of the border army, so they have a big grin to tell them the stories of the border army and the sporadic Hu people who often come to disturb them.

At this time, everyone, including Brother Hei Niu and Brother Tianba, was also interested, and they gathered around General Yang Shihu, listened with relish, and followed the twists and turns in the story, sometimes sighing, sometimes encouraging.

Yang Huairen was not very interested in these stories, but he found that the two schools that came with Yang Shihu seemed to be not very appetizing to the whole sheep roasted by Cai Ke, and he was puzzled.

After thinking about it for a while, Yang Huairen understood that this place is located in the northwest border, there must be many sheep sellers and local people who raise sheep, and roast mutton must be eaten often, unlike when they first came here, they ate roast sheep as fresh.

So he took out a small packet from his bosom and sprinkled some reddish and gray powder on the lamb.
