Chapter 582: Crossing the River

Qi Ning immediately stepped forward to help up a general, and said with a smile: "Everyone get up, don't be so formal." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Then the generals got up, and a long table had been set up in the big tent, which was put together with several long tables, and the big tent was very open, and it was not a problem to set up this table.

Qi Ning and Wu Dalin were arranged under the main seat in the middle, Han Yu sat on the right side of Qi Ning, Qi Feng sat on the bottom of Han Yu, and everyone else also sat down.

There were dishes on the table on a large plate, Qi Ning glanced at it, most of the dishes were meat dishes, except for beef and mutton, there were many fish and shrimp, and the appearance was really not good-looking, but the tent was wafting with an appetizing fragrance, Han Yu had already smiled and said: "Hou Ye, there are no good things in the military camp, at this time, everyone temporarily put together, these fish and shrimp are also just fished from the river before, very shabby, Hou Ye don't be surprised." ”

Qi Ning laughed and said, "It's not a secret, these are what make me have a great appetite." But I remembered that in my previous life, I was eating meat with a group of brothers around a large plate, and the scene was very similar to this.

"If Master Hou likes it, then you can't ask for it." Han Yu smiled: "Come on, serve the wine!" ”

The soldiers came in from outside the tent, came in with a few jars of wine, and put them in the hands of Qi Ning and other envoys, but none of the generals of the Chu army were released.

Qi Ning glanced at it and said strangely: "Han Yu, this is ......!" ”

"Master Hou, there is a strict order in the army, unless it is a celebration wine for winning a battle, no one is allowed to touch a drop of wine on weekdays." Han Yu said solemnly: "This rule was set when the old marquis was here, and for many years, no one dared to break it. There is no victory today, so this rule cannot be broken, but Hou Ye does not have to be taboo about this. ”

Qi Ning thought to himself that it seemed that the Qin Huai Legion was really strict in military regulations, and asked, "Then you eat meat and don't drink alcohol?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a few soldiers came in from outside the tent, carrying iron buckets, and there was still heat in them, Han Yu smiled, picked up a big bowl in front of him, got up and scooped most of the bowl in the iron bucket, and the other generals also took their own bowls and scooped them, Han Yu returned to the table and said with a smile: "Master Hou, if you eat meat on weekdays, you will use the Huai River water as wine, this is the river water taken from the Huai River, it is boiling hot, and you will eat meat, which has a different taste." ”

Qi Ning nodded and ordered, "All the wine jars should be withdrawn." ”

Everyone was stunned, but saw that Qi Ning had already gotten up, picked up the big bowl in front of him, scooped a bowl of hot water in the past, and returned to the seat, seeing everyone looking at themselves, laughing, and said: "I also came to taste this Huai River water, I won't drink this wine today." ”

Han Yu hurriedly said: "Master Hou, don't be like this, this is the river, it's not clean, you ......!" ”

"If you drink it, I will drink it too." Qi Ning didn't say a word, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "I'm not as expensive as you think." He took a piece of meat in his hand, took a bite, and ate it in a big gulp, and said as he ate, "Who is this cook?" The craftsmanship is good, it's the taste I want. ”

Everyone looked at each other.

Although Qi Ning is the species of the Qi family in brocade clothes, the generals of the Qin Huai Legion have a heartfelt awe for the Qi family in brocade clothes, but when they see Qi Ning's brocade clothes and jade belt, they are young, and they all feel that the little Hou Ye is pampered and will never endure hardship, and the Qin Huai Legion knows a little bit about the Qi family, especially Han Yu, who knows that the son of the Qi family has a little bad brain since he was born, and he has been raised in the Hou Mansion since he was a child, and he has not spent a day in the army.

But seeing that Qi Ning had no shelf, he was very easy-going, and he really ate meat on the river, and he was not as particular as other noble children, and he ate meat directly with his hands, and he was surprised, he was amazed, and saw that Qi Ning ate a piece of meat in a blink of an eye, and took a big sip of the water bowl, which was even more silent.

Qi Ning put down the water bowl, saw everyone looking at him, laughed, and said, "How do you think that I am in the Hou Mansion, pampered, and can't endure hardship?" There are fish and meat here, as well as boiling river water, which is not a bitterness, how many people want to suffer such hardships and can't bear it, don't be idle, just eat! ”

Everyone saw that the little marquis was so free and easy, and they were still worried about whether the barracks was so entertaining, whether it was a little rude, but at this time, the worries disappeared, and everyone laughed, and they all reached out to grab the meat to eat.

Everyone present, except for Qi Ning, almost all of them have been in the army, and they are not polite, for a while, you come and go, using water as wine, staggering, and eating one by one.

Qi Ning finished eating a fish, put down the fish bones, and asked, "Han Yu, just now you said that the Eastern Qi Army Ji Risong, what's going on?" ”

Han Yu put down the meat in his hand and said with a smile: "One soldier is beary, and one bears will be a nest." Master Hou, in fact, the Eastern Qi Army was not like this before. In the past, the general who guarded the border was called Chengwu, who had some skills and strict military discipline, but since the king of Mount Tai came, the Eastern Qi army has been less than one day by day. ”

"King Tarzan?"

Han Yu explained: "The monarch of the Eastern Qi Kingdom had three sons and two daughters, and the eldest son was King Taishan. The second son was made the prince of Eastern Qi, and the third son, King Linzi, was still young. Two years ago, the King of Mount Tai was transferred to Xuzhou, and Cheng Wu was subservient to the King of Mount Tai, but Cheng Wu was obedient to the King of Mount Tai, and he did what King Taishan said. ”

A general on the side said with a smile: "After King Taishan arrived in Xuzhou, he always had to show his ability, so he changed a lot of military regulations, and Cheng Wu didn't dare to talk much." As far as we know, this King Taishan is stubborn for his own use, but whenever someone says that he is not, he will kill people immediately, if he says something good in his ear, no matter what kind of person he is, he can be reused, many people privately call King Taishan the king of sycophants, as long as he pats his ass, he can be prosperous. ”

Qi Ning smiled: "And this matter? ”

"The Jiangling on the other side is called Meng Jiaozhou, and he is an unknown person." Han Yu said: "The Meng family is a big family in Xuzhou, the family is rich, after the King of Taishan arrived in Xuzhou, the Meng family not only offered a large number of operations, but also Meng Jiaozhou dedicated his own sister to the King of Taishan, the King of Taishan did not say a word, directly let him come to the border to lead the army, then Meng Jiaozhou came, there was no talent for commanding the army, he himself often took his soldiers to show off his might nearby, and the Eastern Qi Army was a loose military discipline......! He shook his head, and then smiled: "But this is a good thing, the people of Dongqi are incompetent, and in front of us, they are like a sheep." ”

Qi Ning frowned and said, "Meng Jiaozhou did this, didn't King Taishan ignore it?" ”

"Master Hou, it is said that King Taishan himself teases chickens and dogs all day long, and sends people to search for beauties everywhere in Xuzhou." Han Yu said: "Xuzhou is in a mess, he can't even control himself, how can he have time to take care of Meng Jiaozhou?" Besides, Meng Jiaozhou's sister looks beautiful, and she is very liked by King Taishan, if Meng Jiaozhou really has something, his sister only needs to say a word casually in King Taishan's ear, and it will be a big thing and a small thing. ”

Wu Dalin said: "When tens of thousands of troops of the Northern Han Dynasty attacked the Eastern Qi Dynasty, the Eastern Qi people were high-spirited and resilient, but instead of being taken advantage of by the Northern Han people, the Northern Han people suffered a big loss. He smiled faintly and said, "There has been no war for many years, and it is not a good thing." Don't think about danger in peace, now the people of Eastern Qi think that they are right and left, and the Northern Han Dynasty and my Dachu don't dare to do anything to him, military discipline is relaxed, and if it goes on like this, sooner or later he will have to suffer a lot. ”

"The Dongqi Water Master should not be bad." Han Yu said: "The naval warships of the Eastern Qi Dynasty occasionally appear on the Huai River, but they can't control the Eastern Qi Infantry Cavalry. ”

"King Taishan is the eldest son, why was he sent to Xuzhou?" Qi Ning asked: "Lichu Lichang, isn't this King Taishan the eldest son?" ”

Han Yu said: "King Taishan and the prince of Dongqi are born with the same mother, and they are indeed the eldest sons. However, as far as the last general knows, the King of Mount Tai has always been absurd, and moody, the courtiers of the Eastern Qi Kingdom hated and feared him, but the prince of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, I heard that it was very popular, so the King of Mount Tai was demoted to Xuzhou, which is also a matter of course. ”

A subordinate general sneered: "King Taishan has arrived in Xuzhou, and his temperament has not changed, and if he continues like this, he will be unlucky sooner or later." ”

Qi Ning bowed slightly, thoughtfully, and then smiled: "That's it, let's get together today, don't talk about this, come, eat meat!" ”

Although the banquet for Qi Ning was very simple, everyone was very happy, full of food and drink, Han Yu asked people to clean up the big tent well, and asked Qi Ning to rest in the big tent for one night.

At this time, the sky has already darkened, so there is no need to rush to cross the river.

Early the next morning, Han Yu had already asked people to prepare the boat early, send the mission across the river, leave the barracks, and the mission to the edge of the Dehuai River, Qi Ning overlooked it, and saw that the river was surging, flowing endlessly from west to east, and more than 20 ships had been prepared on the river, without the help of the mission, Han Yu had already sent someone to unload the goods from the car and load them on the ship.

The ships were small and large, but it was more than enough to transport the mission, everything was ready, all the generals said goodbye on the shore, and Han Yu led dozens of soldiers on the boat to send Qi Ning across the river.

When the ship arrived at the opposite shore, it was not seen that there was a reaction from the other side, and when the car was sent ashore and the goods were loaded, the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and a team of Eastern Qi soldiers appeared not far away, and when they saw the team, there were already soldiers shouting loudly: "Oh no, the people of Chu have called, the people of Chu have called......!" The group of Eastern Qi soldiers didn't even dare to come closer, so they turned around and left.

Qi Ning heard from the crowd yesterday that the discipline of the Eastern Qi army was loose and there was no deep feeling, and at this time, seeing that this team of Eastern Qi cavalry did not even dare to approach, turned around and left, he was stunned for a while, thinking that such an army really has no combat effectiveness at all, compared to the Southern Chu army on the other side, it is simply a difference between cloud and mud.

Han Yu smiled and said: "Master Hou, you have seen it, there will be a nest of bears, and after Meng Jiaozhou came, the courage of the Dongqi people has become smaller than that of rats." ”

Qi Ning sighed and said softly: "Han Yu, no matter what the people of Eastern Qi are, you must not be slightly negligent and paralyzed when you guard the front line. ”

Han Yu said solemnly: "Hou Ye rest assured, the duty is to sleep in the middle of the night, and the last general also has his eyes open, and he does not dare to have the slightest negligence." He arched his hand and said: "Hou Ye, how precious this trip is all the way, the end will not be able to go forward, and when Hou Ye returns smoothly, the end will go down to the river to catch fish and shrimp, and wash the dust for Hou Ye!" ”
