Chapter 33 The post station rests

The area of Jingyuan Road is very peculiar, the geographical span is larger, up to the northwest and the Xixia handover, down to the southeast and Fengxiang Mansion adjacent, Weizhou is below it, and Huizhou is at the top of it, and the position of the Xixia handover.

To the north of Rouwolf Mountain is the "Xishou Baotai Military Supervision Division" of Western Xia, and to the south is Jingyuan Road, Huizhou.

Gu Xiuyuan, who went out of Shaanxi Road, kept complaining on the road, his good Jingyuan passerby ran to Shaanxi Road to serve as a prisoner, and he had to go to work not long after he got home, and he had to run back when he took office.

After being reborn in this world, the general direction is to move towards the northwest and south and other places, and I have never been to the border junction place, which has been escorted because of urgency, so the route given by the transfer division is to give priority to short distances.

And the shortest distance is along the border all the way to the northwest, until the north of Rouwolf Mountain, out of Shaanxi Road after dozens of miles down the road, except for some small post stations in the walled fort, there are hardly a few families to see.

Even if it is a little crowded, there are three or five small courtyards and more than a dozen low grass houses, and it is not very popular and lively. Because it was the first time for Gu Xiuyuan to pass by here, he was very touched when he saw this sparse and desolate scene.

"My lord, this is the boundary of the Dingbian Military Prefecture on Huanqing Road, and to the north is Weizhou in Western Xia, and the Jingsai Military Supervision Division." The commander of the forbidden army explained to Gu Xiuyuan.

Because of the perennial friction between the two parties, the border land is often sparsely populated, even a fairly safe Huating is so decadent, not to mention the place where the two armies meet.

Five people are in the army, it is a people, and among the ten forbidden armies given by Fang Jun, there is a captain and a chief. Wu Chang's name is Wang Changping, and Shi Chang's name is Wu Zhenjiang.

For convenience, Gu Xiuyuan also gave Wang Changping and Wu Zhenjiang the fifteen chamber army sent by Lu Huainan to the jurisdiction.

"Okay, how long is it going to be until Huizhou?" Hearing this, Gu Xiuyuan retracted his gaze from afar and asked Wu Zhenjiang.

Wu Zhenjiang tilted his head and calculated for a while, and replied: "If you are in a hurry on the road, you can arrive within five days, and if there is an accident on the road, it is difficult to say......

Wu Zhenjiang's words were not finished, but Gu Xiuyuan also understood, after all, he had heard such words many times, and almost everyone would know that it was not easy to escort military funds on the Northwest Road.

Gu Xiuyuan didn't continue to answer, just turned his head to look at the large group of people behind him, and then looked at the sky, it was already past noon, and the convoy had already walked out of Shaanxi Road for dozens of miles.

"It should be almost at the post station in front, so let's rest and recuperate after going down to the post station." Gu Xiuyuan commanded Wu Zhenjiang and Wang Changping.

Because the imperial court wanted to raise troops in the northwest, as early as when Fan Xianggong served as the pacification of the two routes, the military stations and post stations in the northwest had been rebuilt.

Every twenty or thirty miles on the northwest road, there will be a military station, and every forty or fifty miles, there will be a post station, and next to the post station there will be a barracks for soldiers and soldiers or errand soldiers.

By the time I arrived at the post station, it had already been an hour, because he was ordered to escort and Gu Xiuyuan was the prisoner, and he was also the highest-ranking person here, so the people in the post station were waiting outside early to greet him.

The post station has already prepared food, cabbage broth, small rice and white flour steamed buns with all kinds of multigrain wotou cakes, the post station can not accommodate so many people, so a long table is placed outside the barracks.

Naturally, the escort military forbidden army and the box army would not eat with the people, they set up three other tables in the lobby of the post station, and the quantity and quality of the food must be better than that of the people outside.

Gu Xiuyuan and Zhang Hong hadn't dismounted yet, and most of the people didn't rush to eat when they were outside, but slowly put the vehicle loaded with goods and then brought water and fodder, and waited for the mules and horses to eat first.

Gu Xiuyuan was a little puzzled for a while, and looked at Zhang Hong beside him suspiciously, Zhang Hong nodded and said in a low voice, "They are all to avoid accidents on the road ...... mules and horses."

Gu Xiuyuan felt a little helpless after hearing this, he wanted to say something but couldn't say it, there was no way, this was already a very normal thing, in order to complete the errand given by Shangguan, he did everything he could to complete the goal.

Dismounted alone, Gu Xiuyuan patted the head of the horse he was riding, and instructed Zhang Hong: "After feeding the horse, come in and eat." After speaking, he straightened his robe and walked towards the post station.

The lobby on the first floor of the post station was already occupied by the forbidden army and the box army, and after Gu Xiuyuan entered, a group of people immediately stood together, putting down their dishes and chopsticks and bowing their heads to him and saluting with fists.

"I've seen my lord!"

It is still full of energy, Gu Xiuyuan thought in his heart, it seems that people are iron rice and steel, and the saying is right!

nodded, took a steamed bun from a table next to him, took a bite, the taste was okay, like an old steamed bun on the north side of the river, soft and sweet.

"Don't be inhibited, just sit down and eat." Gu Xiuyuan swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth and waved his hand towards everyone, and said with a smile.

Despite this, most people are still a little unaccustomed to it, but they are no longer as restrained as just now, and they all bow their heads and eat.

Gu Xiuyuan looked at the food utensils on Wu Zhenjiang's table in front of him, and there was not much food left in the bucket and basin, so he asked out loud, "Is it enough to eat?"

Wu Zhenjiang was slightly stunned, not only him, but the others at the table didn't expect Gu Xiuyuan to ask them if they had enough to eat, and after reacting, Wu Zhenjiang bowed and replied, "Back to my lord, it's enough."

Gu Xiuyuan didn't speak, nodded, watched Zhang Hong and the three of them outside also finished walking in, and then sat in a corner casually, holding the steamed bun he had just taken and continued to eat.

"My lord......" Zhang Hong and the three of them probably didn't think that Gu Xiuyuan would find a corner in the lobby to eat the rest of the soldiers' food, and couldn't help but be surprised.

"It's okay, you guys hurry up and bring some food, you can't let me just eat steamed buns, Zhang Yi, give me a bowl of soup." Gu Xiuyuan frowned, waved his sleeves indifferently, and signaled that they didn't need to make any special arrangements.

A room full of forbidden soldiers and van troops saw Gu Xiuyuan like this, and they were even more surprised and speechless, these people had all served as escorts, but they had never seen that prisoner eat and drink with the soldiers like him, or eat the leftovers.

Gu Xiuyuan took the soup bowl handed by Zhang Yi, didn't think what kind of soup it was, took a sip, swallowed the choked steamed bun and said casually: "Hurry up and eat, after eating, let's set off and hurry, don't blame me for being ruthless in military law when the time comes."

"Adults can rest assured, when the time comes, there will be no need for adults to enforce military law, and they will definitely look good!" Wu Zhenjiang was the highest in the group, so he stood up and replied.

"Okay, I should eat it too, don't look at it, go out quickly after eating, and be looked at in a panic."

Gu Xiuyuan made a joke at random, which eased the depressing atmosphere, and the soldiers all smiled at the corners of their mouths, and Gu Xiuyuan's figure had already appeared in the hearts of the soldiers.
