Sanchuan Village is not very big, usually only stationed 2,000 soldiers, the whole village is only enough to station about 10,000 people at most, Zhao Ji brought a total of nearly 100,000 troops this time in addition to the 30,000 divided, the remaining 70,000 people can not squeeze into Sanchuan Village at all, but Yang Wenguang has long expected this situation, so after arriving here, immediately build a defensive camp around Sanchuan Village, although it is not as strong as the real city, but it is not a short time to break.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that most of the 70,000 people led by Zhao Ji live in the camp tent outside Sanchuan Village, but now the weather is getting colder and colder, and the camp tent outside is naturally not as warm as the houses in the village, so the soldiers are more hopeful to be stationed in the village, Yang Wenguang also made a detailed arrangement for this, that is, whenever a certain army has been on the battlefield, it can take turns to rest in the village for two days, which is also a means of reward, and it is very fair, so as to avoid resentment in the army due to unfair distribution.

Zhao Ji turned a corner and came to the martial arts arena in Sanchuan Village, which is the place where the garrison usually exercises, very close to the city gate in the north, which also leads to the fact that whenever an army retreats from the battlefield, it will rest on this martial arts field, and when the wind is cold at night, the martial arts arena is a bonfire everywhere, and the soldiers who retreat from the battlefield are roasting the fire while bandaging the wounds on their bodies, and then eat a hot meal, and then they can go to the airtight house to sleep beautifully.

Zhao Ji came to this place (when he performed martial arts, he saw that there were at least thousands of soldiers resting around the fire everywhere here, and it happened that next to a bonfire in front of him, a team of dozens of people was surrounding the fire there, and from time to time there would be a burst of hearty laughter, but Zhao Ji saw at a glance an extremely burly man in the crowd facing him, even if he sat there, he was half a head taller than ordinary people. There is a beard on the horizontal flesh of his face, and a long scar is drawn from his forehead to his cheek, which looks extremely vicious, but it is precisely because his appearance is so distinctive that Zhao Ji recognized this scar man at a glance as Lin Hu, the head of the guard beside Zhao Yan.

Seeing Lin Hu appear in Sanchuan Village, Zhao Ji was also very strange. After all, Lin Hu is Zhao Yan's head of the guard, which is equivalent to Chen Ding beside him, where Zhao Yan appears, Lin Hu will definitely follow him, but now the other party has appeared in Sanchuan Village, which is exactly what Zhao Yan can't understand.

It was with the doubts in his heart that Zhao Ji stepped forward at the moment, and then shouted to Lin Hu, who was laughing with the people around him: "Lin Hu, why are you here?" ”

Lin Hu naturally recognized Zhao Ji. also knew that Zhao Ji was the supreme commander of his army, and now when he saw him calling himself, he immediately jumped up and ran over to salute: "The last general will see His Royal Highness King Ying!" ”

Lin Hu's salute immediately made the other soldiers around him recognize Zhao Xu, and they all stood up and saluted at the moment, Zhao Hu had to smile at this so that everyone didn't have to be polite, but at this time he suddenly discovered that there were still some familiar faces among the soldiers around Lin Hu. It seems that these people should be the guards around Zhao Yan, but now these people are all here. It's a bit unusual.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji was even more strange, and after the people around him stood up, he pulled Lin Hu and asked again: "What's the matter, how can you and the guards around the third brother appear here, could it be that the third brother is also here?" ”

Heard Zhao Ji's question. Lin Hu couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Your Royal Highness, His Royal Highness the County King didn't come, as for us people, it's because we made a big mistake and it's no longer suitable to stay by the County King's side." Therefore, the military department issued an order to transfer us to Gyeongju, and this time he followed His Highness to stop the Western Xia people! ”

Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment when he heard Lin Hu's answer, and then he understood, and asked in a deep voice, "Is it because the third brother was kidnapped before?" ”

"Exactly, originally the king of the county wanted to go to the military department to intercede and let the military department take back the order, but our brother really didn't have the face to stay in the county king's mansion anymore, so he discouraged the kindness of the county king, and was transferred to Gyeongju a month ago, but I didn't expect to encounter such a big war when I first came to Gyeongju, but let our brother make some contributions!" Lin Hu nodded and replied, when it came to the final contribution, a complicated look flashed on his face, although they made some contribution, they also lost a few brothers, and most of the rest were injured, fortunately, they were not particularly strict, otherwise they would have to go to the wounded barracks to lie in the territory of the king of Yama.

When Zhao Yan left the capital, Zhao Yan had not escaped from the underground palace, and he was also very worried about Zhao Yan's safety at that time, but the situation on the border was critical, and he could only focus on state affairs, but he had been telling Huang Wude to pass on Zhao Yan's situation to him in time before leaving, and later when he learned that Zhao Yan had escaped, he was also happy for a long time, and he also knew a lot of inside stories about Zhao Yan's kidnapping.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji said to Lin Hu at the moment: "Since you have come, then stay in the army with peace of mind to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, although you are no longer the third brother's person, but at least you have followed him for a long time, and you are branded with the palace of Guangyang County, if you lose people on the battlefield, the third brother's face is not good-looking!" ”

"His Royal Highness King Ying, rest assured, the king of the county treats us well, when we came out this time, the king of the county also let our family live in the palace, so these brothers came to the battlefield with the intention of making meritorious contributions, and when we have made enough contributions, the king of the county will not dislike us, and we are all willing to return to the king of the county in the future!" Lin Hu also said loudly at this time, in private, he and the brothers who came out of the palace also discussed, they all thought that it was not as comfortable as being in the county palace, plus Zhao Yan was sincere and did not have the slightest arrogance, so they were also willing to go back to the palace after making meritorious contributions.

"Haha, yes, yes, it seems that the third brother is still very popular with you!" Zhao Ji couldn't help laughing happily when he heard Lin Hu's words, being able to meet an acquaintance here in Sanchuan Village, which is thousands of miles away from Tokyo, is already a very happy thing, especially since the other party is someone next to Zhao Yan, which makes Zhao Ji feel even more excited, and then he asked about what happened in the capital after he left, especially how Zhao Yanzhong escaped, although he had learned what happened from Huang Wude, but it was definitely not as detailed as the people around Zhao Yan.

Just when Zhao Hu was chatting with Lin Hu, I saw a group of men wearing uniforms carrying large wooden barrels over, and then put them next to the bonfire, knocking on the wooden barrels and began to give Lin Hu and them the soldiers who retreated from the battlefield to share the meal.

Lin Hu looked at the big rice bucket not far away, and couldn't help licking his dry lips at the moment, but Zhao Ji was talking to him, so he didn't dare to go to eat, but Zhao Ji noticed Lin Hu's expression at this time, and immediately smiled and instructed Chen Ding behind him: "Go and call me and Lin Hu for one, I heard that the soldiers who came down from the battlefield can have a good meal, just let me rub a meal, and I won't have to eat breakfast for a while!" ”

"No!" Chen Ding immediately agreed after hearing this, turned around and went to eat, without the slightest hesitation, as if he had long been used to it.

Lin Hu next to Zhao Ji was stunned when he saw this, and then thought of hearing that after Zhao Ji came to Sanchuan Village, he often ate and lived with the soldiers, without the slightest shelf of the prince, and now it seems that this legend should be true. Thinking of this, Lin Hu couldn't help but be a little moved, thinking that the Great Song Dynasty had such approachable princes as Zhao Ji and Zhao Yan, which was really a blessing for the people of the world!

After a while, I saw Chen Ding walking over with two people's head-sized sea bowls and putting them in front of Zhao Ji, only to see the snow-white noodles in the big bowl piled up high, and a few slices of green vegetables and a few pieces of mutton floating in the soup, Zhao Yan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when he saw the noodles in the bowl: "I didn't expect this king to really have a good mouth, and he actually met the gang leader army to make noodles!" ”

Lin Hu looked at the noodles in the bowl, his eyes widened, he swallowed his saliva and said, "It's worth it to fight in the middle of the night in exchange for such a big bowl of noodles!" ”

If it was in Tokyo before, a bowl of noodles would naturally not be in Zhao Yan's eyes, and even Lin Hu followed Zhao Yan every day with fish and meat, but since he came to Sanchuan Village, it was not easy to escort the grain and grass in the rear, plus Li Liangzuo sent a lot of about 100 rangers to go deep into the rear of the Song army.

It is also the harassment of the Xixia people, the grain and grass in Sanchuan Village are quite nervous, usually Lin Hu and they all drink gruel and eat nest heads, Zhao Ji in order to show his responsibility, the usual diet is also very simple, and even have to eat and live with the soldiers to be inspiring, during this time, he has lost more than a dozen pounds, don't look at the eyes are just an ordinary bowl of noodles, but for Zhao Ji, it is also a good meal.

At that moment, Zhao Ji couldn't care about talking anymore, and was about to eat the coarse porcelain bowl with a large human head, but at this time, Lin Hu suddenly shouted: "Your Highness, do you want to have some this?" ”

Zhao Ji turned his head when he heard this, but found that Lin Hu took out a bamboo tube from his arms, and after opening it, a pungent aroma immediately emanated from it, which made Zhao Ji immediately snatch it over in ecstasy and said, "Chili pepper!" Then the king is welcome! ”

Zhao Ji said and took out a piece of mutton chili pepper from the bamboo tube with chopsticks, mixed it in the noodles and immediately became red, and then ate it impatiently, sweating profusely after a while, and no longer had to worry about the cold wind in the early morning.
