He Laichao said with a smile: "The little prince sent someone to see Da Bo Xinyi to explain this matter, he must not dare to give face to the little prince, but the last general thinks that even if Da Bo Xinyi gives face to the little prince, he deliberately delays him for a few days, which is not enough!" ”

Tuoba Ye was puzzled: "It's not enough? ”

"Yes! Little prince, think about it, even if you greet Dabo Xinyi, he can only delay it for two or three days at most, if it drags on for too long, he can't stand it, once something happens, he will find out his head, he won't be so stupid! If you want to ensure that Zhao Junsheng can't return before the military rations are finished, you have to find another way, the last general has an idea, but it is not convenient for the last general to come forward, and the little prince needs to send talents! ”

Tuoba Ye stared at He Laichao for a while, and said, "Say, say whatever you think!" ”

"Send someone to buy Zhao Junsheng's men to add some material to feed the horses and donkeys on the way, so that the mules, horses and donkeys have no strength to pull the cart, as long as they delay for two or three days, it will be done! If the people around the last general come forward, it will be easy to be recognized, but if the little prince sends someone to come forward, it will not be easy to be recognized, so ······"

Tuoba Ye didn't expect He Laichao to come up with such a vicious idea, and he was extremely jealous and vigilant of He Laichao for a while, and warned himself in his heart that he must have a spirit of 120,000 when dealing with this person in the future.

Tuoba Ye nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will arrange this matter!" ”

Early the next morning, the baggage soldiers carried out morning exercises as usual, and after breakfast, they set off under the leadership of Zhao Junsheng, he left the second battalion to look after the family, and set off with the first and third battalions, accompanied by more than 100 carts, no matter how much grain and grass materials this can bring back, it is absolutely right to bring more carts and horses.

When the baggage convoy passed in front of the gate of the camp of the Zhenjia Army, the soldiers of the Zhenshu Army were practicing on the school field, and Hua Mulan stood in the cold wind wearing a cloak and stamped her feet and rubbed her hands from time to time, looking forward.

Zhao Junsheng rode a horse and walked in the middle of the team, and when he saw Mulan, he immediately hit the horse and ran over, jumped off the horse and asked, "Mulan, you look at the cold weather, don't I let you send it?" ”

Hua Mulan kept rubbing her hands and laughing: "It's just nothing, so I'm here." By the way, it's cold to camp in the wilderness at night, do you bring a mattress? Wear more clothes on the road and don't freeze! ”

"It's all ready, if you can't freeze, you can rest assured!" Zhao Junsheng said and touched Hua Mukan's hand, which was cold, and hurriedly said: "You see that your hands are so cold, go back to the camp quickly, I will be back in a few days!" ”

"It's okay, you go, I'll watch you go, and when you're far away, I'll go back to the camp!"

A warmth welled up in his heart, Zhao Junsheng reached out and touched Mulan's face, took a deep breath, turned around and got on the horse, and galloped away quickly.

In winter, the foot of Yin Mountain is desolate, and everywhere you go, there is a sense of slaughter, and the withered weeds, trees that have lost their leaves, and rolling hills are the background of the whole world.

Even if there is a Yin Mountain that stretches for 2,000 miles, the cold wind in the north still blows everywhere and ravages the earth, taking away the vitality and bringing the severe cold.

The cold wind blowing on his face like a knife was really unbearable, and before a day passed, the skin on Zhao Junsheng's face was blown cracked, and his lips were dry and cracked, as if he hadn't drunk a drop of water for several days.

"Damn, this goddamn weather!" Zhao Junsheng couldn't help cursing, reached out and took out a small porcelain bottle of lanolin from his arms, picked a lump of it with his fingers and wiped it on his face, and finally felt more comfortable.

The sky was gloomy, Zhao Junsheng looked up at the sky, listening to the sound of the howling cold wind, he had a premonition that seemed to be ominous, if it snowed heavily on the way to the march, it would be a lot of fun, thinking of this, he had a strong sense of urgency in his heart, and immediately ordered: "The whole army increases the speed of the march and advances at full speed!" ”

It was one hundred and seventy miles from Jinling to Shanwu County, which was originally a three-day journey, and Zhao Junsheng led the team to march in a hurry and walked in only two days, but this also made the soldiers of the entire baggage team tired, and many people had blisters on the soles of their feet after arriving in Shanwu County.

After Zhao Junsheng led the team to camp outside Shanwu County, he had to organize medical soldiers to puncture the blisters on the soles of the soldiers' feet with needles, disinfect them with wine, and then wrap them with strips of cloth.

The next day, Zhao Junsheng explained to Gao Xiu, the head of the first battalion, and Xue Andu, the deputy of the third battalion: "This official went to the governor's grain and grass official's residence to exchange official documents, and waited to guard the camp, and strictly forbade anyone to go out of the camp to make trouble, and if anyone came to find trouble, they would also be turned away!" ”

The two clasped their fists and agreed: "Obey!" ”

Zhao Junsheng tilted his head to Lu Xuanbo, motioned for him to bring the official documents, and rode into the city with a few soldiers.

The gloomy sky and bitter cold wind have not extinguished the vitality of this county seat, and the streets of the city are full of people, and the shopkeepers and stall owners of shops and stalls along the way are from time to time selling and soliciting business.

"Wontons, selling wontons······ Master Jun, do you want a bowl of wontons? A roadside stall owner greeted Zhao Junsheng and others on horseback.

A smell of wontons came to his face, Zhao Junsheng sniffled, and unconsciously gave birth to a stream of liquid in his mouth, and swallowed it with a grunt, but he remembered that he still had something to do, and waved to the stall owner: "Come back later!" ”

The stall owner didn't care, and happily agreed: "Okay, I'll keep a few of you!" ”

Not far in front is the official residence of the Governor's quartermaster, Lu Xuanbo turned his head to look at the stall owner, and said to Zhao Junsheng: "I heard that many soldiers in the Northern Wei Army will not give money when they go out to eat, and this stall owner is really bold, he actually shouted to us, so he is not afraid that our soldiers will not give money when they eat?" ”

Zhao Junsheng shook his head with a smile, pointed to the pedestrians on the street, the stall holders, the shopkeeper and Xiao Er and said, "Do you know how many people here are military family members?" They are also the family members of their brothers, are you embarrassed to eat the overlord meal? No matter how cruel a person is, he can't pull this face, right? Besides, the army is full of people who lick blood with knives, you really want to offend people ruthlessly, people keep white knives in and red knives out with you, who will cause trouble and enemies for these two money? It's not worth it! ”

Lu Xuanbo sighed when he heard this: "Fighting with their families is no wonder the barbarians can conquer this country, and it is not unreasonable for the Southern Dynasty to be beaten to a corner of peace!" ”

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the governor's quartermaster's mansion, Zhao Junsheng and the others dismounted, and were about to walk in to exchange official documents, but were stopped by the soldiers standing guard at the door: "What are you doing?" ”

Zhao Junsheng hugged his fists and said: "I am Zhao Junsheng, the captain of the heavy army of Huaishuo Town, I was ordered to receive a batch of grain and grass materials, and I hereby ask the governor to issue an approval document, and also ask my brother to report to the governor!" ”

The soldiers standing guard on the left looked at Zhao Junsheng, Lu Xuanbo and the others, and asked, "Didn't you ask your quartermaster to come to receive grain and grass supplies?" Why is it only you, the escort lieutenant, who is here? ”

Zhao Junsheng had to explain: "Our Dugu Yu quartermaster has occasionally felt cold in the past few days, which is quite serious, and he can't get out of bed, but the food and grass materials in the army are about to run out, so he has carte blanche to entrust me to be responsible for this matter!" ”

The soldier nodded: "I see! But it's not the right time to wait, my governor has something to go out, so let's go back first, and come back tomorrow!" ”

Zhao Junsheng didn't expect that the main owner was not there, and he ate a closed door soup, but it was not a big problem to delay for a day, he hugged his fists; "In this case, I will say goodbye first, and then I will bother tomorrow and say goodbye!"

Several people had no choice but to turn around and walk back, settle down at the wonton stall, and each asked for a bowl of chaos to eat.

People in these years are especially able to eat, and wontons are not very filling, Zhao Junsheng ate three bowls alone, Lu Xuanbo ate more, one person ate four bowls, and the two accompanying soldiers were not very embarrassed, and each person only ate two bowls.

After eating the wontons and settling the bill, Lu Xuanbo asked, "Young Master, where are you going now?" Back to camp? ”
