"Master Kong, why did you and the princess suddenly appear here? What about the emperor? Zhao Fan glanced at the two of them and asked with some puzzlement.

"The emperor has gone to Fengxiang for refuge, and the old minister and the princess were lost with the army on the way, so they simply hid in this Wujia Village, waiting for Your Majesty's rescue." Kong Wei stroked his beard and said with a relative.

Zhao Fan nodded and asked, "I see, how did Wujia Village become what it is now?" ”

"It's not the sin of Qin Zongquan, a beast." Kong Wei shook his head bitterly, and said with some sadness, "Yesterday, a group of cavalry of Qin Zongquan's army suddenly came, after entering the village, they robbed everyone they met, and killed them when they saw them, if it weren't for the two dogs who hid me and the princess in this jar, I'm afraid the two of us would have been dead for a long time." ”

"Master Kong, do you know how many people there are in the rebels?" Zhao Fan frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"Listening to the two dogs, they said that there are a lot of troops marching on the road, there should be more than 10,000 or 20,000 people, and the team leader can't see the head, and only a small unit of them entered the village, and they came to collect supplies." Kong Wei sighed and continued, "There are so many villages along the road that I'm afraid they're already ......."

Zhao Fan and the others couldn't help but look ugly for a while when they heard this, the troops of 20,000 people, if they met in the wild, I am afraid that they would ......

"By the way, where is the prince going?" Kong Wei paused and asked with some curiosity.

"This king plans to take Shaanzhou City, and then seek to take Chang'an, and after killing Zhu Gui, a traitor, and Chang'an is stable, he will welcome the emperor back." Zhao Fan looked at the direction of Shaanzhou and said with some concern, "But listening to what Master Kong said, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult to take this Shaanzhou City." ”

"The prince is righteous, this time I went to Shaanzhou, the old minister is willing to give advice to the prince and jointly take Shaanzhou City, and I hope that the prince will not dislike the old minister for being old and lacking." Hearing this, Kong Wei nodded, couldn't help but look straight, bowed to Zhao Fan and said.

"Kong Lao doesn't have to be like this, he doesn't dare to ask for it, it is the king's luck to get Kong Lao's assistance." Zhao Fan was startled, and hurriedly helped Kong Wei up, and even his title changed unconsciously.

Zhao Fan looked at the sky, turned around and shouted, "Pass the order, the army will camp here tonight!" ”

Originally, I wanted to attack Shaanzhou City by surprise, but since Shaanzhou City already has reinforcements, there is no need to chase after it, and if you don't want to eliminate this mysterious reinforcement, attacking Shaanzhou City is just a joke.

"Yes!"

Xu Yong and Ma Jianying responded violently, waving their hands behind them, and a team of heralds galloped away.

Zhao Fan's military orders were conveyed step by step, and the soldiers dismounted one after another, and after tying up their horses, they gathered together in groups of three or five, set up marching camp tents on the spot, and some soldiers took out shovels and axes on their backs to build simple fortifications with local materials.

After a month of devil training in the Peking University Camp, the soldiers of the Shouwang Army are now proficient in eighteen kinds of martial arts, whether it is traditional projects such as riding archery, stabbing and rotational shooting, or special projects such as long-distance rapid marching, carpentry, and heavy walking, which are all included in the daily assessment.

Soon, piles of bonfires were lit under the night sky, and the soldiers set up wooden shelves on the fires, and a bunch of iron pots were placed on the wooden shelves, and a bunch of various foods were stuffed into the pots and began to boil.

Because this expedition was in a hurry, the preparation of military rations was not very sufficient, and Zhao Fan was not so particular about collecting military rations, and he collected everything that could be eaten.

So in addition to the melted snow water, there are all kinds of cakes, dried mushrooms, eggs, dried wild vegetables, and a large amount of horse dried meat collected from the last canyon battle, the whole is a hodgepodge, but at least in terms of nutrition, it can be regarded as a minimum guarantee.

The winter in the north is unusually cold, and if you ride a horse against the wind, you can almost freeze people, even if you are wearing a thick cotton jacket, you can't stop the howling north wind. In the past two days, in order to make a surprise attack on Shaanzhou City, the whole army has been marching all the way, and they are already sleepy and tired, but fortunately, the morale is still good, and I can finally eat something hot tonight.

There are still some complete houses in the village, which can withstand the wind and cold, but Zhao Fan did not live in them, but let some unwell soldiers live in the house, although it is still the same cold, but it can be relieved.

Around the bonfire, Xu Yong shrunk his body into a ball, minimizing the area of his body that was invaded by the cold wind, and then on the premise of ensuring that he was not roasted, he tried to get a trace of hard-won warmth.

But even so, he was still shivering from the cold, and Xu Yong couldn't help but curse, "This ghost weather, don't let people live......"

"Lord Wang, there is still more than half a catty of turbid wine here at the end, come and take two sips to warm your body." Ma Jianying took a water bag, leaned into Zhao Fan's ear, and whispered.

"Hey, I said old horse, I've heard it, you're not very kind." Xu Yong, who was originally shrunk into a ball, quickly sat up straight when he heard this, staring at the bag in Ma Jianying's hand with fierce eyes.

"You nerd, be quiet." Ma Jianying tightened the wine bag in his hand, glared at Xu Yong viciously, handed Zhao Fan a broken bowl, and said softly, "Lord Wang, come to the hour, your body will be warmer." ”

Zhao Fan glanced at Ma Jianying, nodded, and took the broken bowl.

Ma Jianying carefully grabbed the wine bag and poured wine into the bowl, for fear of spilling a little.

As soon as the wine was poured out, Zhao Fan was a little dumbfounded.

I saw that the liquid in the wine bowl was light green, not only cloudy, but also floating on it with a thin white layer of floating objects like ants. Smell, slightly winey, but also a distinctly rancid......

"This is cloudy wine?" Zhao Fan was stunned and asked in disbelief.

This thing... I'm afraid I'm going to have a stomach upset if I drink it......

"Ahem, Lord Wang, don't worry!" Ma Jianying's old face turned red, he took out a small iron pot from behind him and put it on the higher position of the bonfire and burned it, carefully poured it into the pot, turned his head to Zhao Fan and said, "This turbid wine, unlike sake, he has to cook it." ”

Zhao Fan watched Ma Jianying take out the iron pot from behind him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, this is Doraemon......

Soon, the slight fire heated the turbid wine in the pot, and a unique aroma of wine wafted out of the pot and spread everywhere.

"Oh, if you have a drink to drink, you don't call me the old man, and you are not kind, prince!"

Just when Ma Jianying was about to scoop the wine in the pot into the bowl, there was a sudden burst of laughter and scolding behind everyone, and when he looked back, it was Kong Wei who was slowly walking towards everyone with Princess Yongping.
