Listening to the cheers of the soldiers, Xiao Yi was relieved and did not dare to relax his vigilance, and led more than a dozen people from the guards to inspect the battalion one by one, and first went to Shi Gang's first camp to take a look. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The soldiers were lively and cooking, and when they saw Xiao Yi coming to patrol the camp, they all greeted Xiao Yi eagerly, and saw that the soldiers were in good condition, and there were no sick people.

So Xiao Yi and Shi Gang talked and laughed a few words, when the two sergeants were wrestling, Xiao Yi also sat around, watching with the soldiers, looking very approachable.

The guerrilla general Xiao Yi personally watched, and the two of them worked harder, and hundreds of people surrounded them, cheering continuously, and spread to the camp of Meng Xiping not far away.

After reading it, Xiao Yi praised both of them a few words, and left for Shi Lu's second camp.

This is just two sentences for Xiao Yi, but it is of great significance to these two soldiers and the onlookers.

The battalions were similar, and while they were lively and lively, there were also dense comings and goings of sergeants patrolling the night, and there were no three-person teams at night, and the sergeants walked slowly around the camp tents in groups of five, holding torches.

After inspecting the main barracks one by one, Xiao Yi went to the firearms camp and the baggage camp to take a look.

When the army goes out, the most difficult thing is the supply of grain and grass, with the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, the grain and grass cannot be distributed by the imperial court, and can only be brought from Ulzhou by themselves.

However, although Ulju has plenty of rice, this time it is to rush to the Daling River, and bringing too much will seriously slow down the march.

Therefore, Xiao Yi only brought enough grain and grass for the army to eat for more than 20 days, and calculated that with the small amount of grain and grass sent by the imperial court after the confluence, it should be no problem to support January.

At this time, Xiao Yi was looking at the artillery in the firearms battalion, these firearms were sharp weapons against the Jurchens in wartime, but fortunately, each artillery was carefully guarded by Liu Tong.

As it became colder and colder to the north, Liu Tong put on artillery jackets to resist the wind, cold, rain and snow in the north.

In addition, most of the artillery in the Yongan army is mainly small and medium-sized, and the heaviest is only a four-hundred-pound Franc machine gun, which is also very easy to take care of and transport.

The sergeants of the firearms battalion generally eat and sleep with artillery, guns, etc., and it is better to watch over them in the vicinity to avoid accidents.

Because Xiao also issued a few sets of military uniforms, which were enough to keep out the cold, and the food was quite rich, compared to everyone's previous life, it was not a big hardship at all.

Seeing Xiao Yi coming to patrol the camp, everyone was moved and felt that Xiao Yi attached great importance to firearms, so they secretly made up their minds that they must not let these firearms have any accidents.

The patrol camp took about an hour, and Xiao Yi did not enjoy it alone after returning to the Chinese army tent, in the past, the Chinese army tent of the Ming generals was to ensure the prestige of the main general, and it was only used as a place for discussion and a place for the main general to rest, and the majesty of the end was incomparable.

However, Xiao Yi has no such concerns, his prestige is determined by the accumulation of little by little on weekdays, and the performance of the army on the march, and now Xiao Yi is in the Yongan Army, these things are conducive to cultivating the brotherly feelings between the generals.

Instructed the sergeant to find Shi Gang, Shi Lu, Huang Yang, Liu Tong, Wang Dayong, and then called Liu Sheng, Lai Damao, Zhou Baotai, Wei Zhongwu, Zeng, Qi Zhan, Gu Lin, Yang Liqing, Wang Dashan, Zhao Dahe and others, and it didn't take long for each of them to enter the account one by one.

Sitting around a cauldron, talking and laughing while eating, the sound spread outside the big tent, and everyone ate for half an hour Wang Dayong and Zhou Baotai were late.

Their subordinates are all horsemen, and those horses are not easy to place, although all the sergeants regard horses as treasures, and Xiao Yi assigns someone to take care of them, but the two are still not at ease.

In modern parlance, both of them have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and if they don't look at each horse and don't go around there, they won't be at peace even if they come to eat.

The two laughed and confessed their sins, and found a place to sit down.

He was not restrained, he picked up a piece of freshly made hot cake and sent it to his mouth, grinned until he ate it, and took out a bowl of broth from the cauldron, and ate it with the bread.

At this moment, one person lifted the roller curtain, and everyone saw that it was Meng Xiping, a guerrilla general on the Western Road, and Xiao Yi also wondered in his heart, what is he doing here?

However, at least the etiquette still has to be there, everyone hurriedly got up, stuffed the cake in their hands into their mouths, and said in unison: "I've seen General Meng!" ”

Meng Xiping wandered around outside the tent for a while, listening to the laughter coming from the tent, and thought that Xiao Yi was discussing things, and hesitated to go in.

Suddenly smelled the smell of meat wafting, the stomach was overturned and the sea was overturned, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he entered the big tent, and just opened the curtain, and there was a warm breeze and the smell of meat.

Looking at the dense crowd of people in the tent, I was shocked, Xiao Yi actually ate a big pot of rice with his subordinates in the big tent of the Chinese army?

He didn't understand, did this still have a little bit of the prestige of the main general?

I was surprised and didn't know what to say, but at this time, Xiao Yi stepped forward with a smile, and his words were very polite: "It turned out to be Brother Meng, hurry up and sit down to eat and drink together, fill your stomach and have the strength, and kill a few more prisoners." ”

Everyone said yes, Meng Xiping looked directly at the bowl of broth handed over by Xiao Yi, and there was a little oil and meat floating on it, as well as a few pieces of jerky.

He couldn't remember the last time he drank such broth, and he glanced at Xiao Yi again, struggling for a long time.

Sneaking a glance inside the tent, I saw that everyone was busy eating, drinking, talking and laughing, and no one paid attention to this, so I still took the broth and drank it in a big gulp.

After eating and drinking for a while, Meng Xiping touched his belly with satisfaction, and smiled at Xiao Yi: "Thanks to Brother Xiao, this taste is really nostalgic for Ben Jiang, but..."

Xiao Yi smiled slightly, and glanced at Liu Sheng behind him, Liu Sheng laughed and got up and said: "My general has already prepared five fat sheep for General Meng, a few hundred stone of military rations, and the general can take them back for the brothers to have a good meal!" ”

Meng Xiping stood up suddenly, his expression was a little hasty, he was embarrassed, and said incoherently: "This... Brother Xiao, I just ate a meal for nothing at your place, this... How dare you take this..."

Xiao Yi got up, laughed and patted Meng Xiping on the shoulder: "They are all brothers in the official army of the Ming Dynasty, these are nothing, let the brothers eat and drink enough, it is better to kill two Tartars." ”

While speaking, he sent Meng Xiping out of the big tent, the wheelbarrow and five fat sheep outside had already been prepared, and Meng Xiping was simply like a treasure.

Xiao Yi shook his head suddenly, with a little self-reproach in his expression: "It's a pity that my brother doesn't bring much fat sheep and grain and rice when he goes out... It was not enough to distribute the officers and men of the whole army. ”

Meng Xiping looked at the five fat sheep's eyes and said again and again: "Enough, enough brother, these five fat sheep are enough for them to open the meat." ”

Seeing Meng Xiping turn around step by step, constantly thanking him and leaving, Xiao Yi also shook his head with a smile and entered the big tent.

……

The camp tent on that side had already been settled, and Meng Xiping's family officers were waiting outside the village with Venus in their eyes, and they didn't see Meng Xiping return.

Suddenly they heard a 'blea' cry, and they knew what it was, so someone shouted.

"The general is back?"

"How come I hear a sheep crying, am I faint from hunger?" A soldier opened his hazy eyes and saw Meng Xiping, who had returned in high spirits in front of him, less than an hour had passed, so it seemed that he had changed people.

As if he saw something, the soldier suddenly jumped up, there is food! There are sheep!!

The barracks, which was still lifeless just now, suddenly became operational, and everyone began to busily boil the pot and make rice, killing sheep and boiling broth, and they were very busy.
