If the entire Ming army is listed in propaganda and activities, Song Qing's Xuzhou soldiers are called second, I'm afraid no one dares to call it first, to put it more excessively, in this regard, the Xuzhou soldiers can single-handedly challenge the entire world's team, even more powerful than their ability to fight, more invincible.

Chongzhen's seven-year New Year's Gala, so that all the officers and soldiers are unforgettable, because in previous years, either fighting a vicious battle, or in Xuzhou local New Year, there is no chance to experience this kind of whole army gathered together for the New Year's lively scene, although at the beginning many people did not think it would be interesting, but when the celebration was in full swing, they were a little dumbfounded, because their highest commander Song Qing actually moved the prosperous scene of Xuzhou to the barracks, and made a miniature version of it.

According to the usual practice, if the army can't go home because of some things and has to spend the New Year outside, there will be nothing new, at most, it will be a general's spending a sum of money, so that the big guys can gather together to be lively, drink wine and eat meat, and after drinking too much, go directly to the camp tent to sleep, which is the style.

Originally, the big guys thought that this time was the same, who knew that Song Qing conjured up a lot of tricks, at the beginning it was indeed to arrange for the whole army to eat together, hot pancakes and steamed buns, as well as spirits collected from the vicinity, as well as pork and beef, stewed in the pot, the barracks were originally cold, with these things, the temperature naturally came up, and everyone's hearts were like a flame burning, although it was a pity that they could not go home for the New Year, but they were able to eat, drink and play with their comrades who were born and died in the camp, It's a great joy in life, and at home you have to abide by your father's rules, but here you have to relax a lot.

At the same time, being able to get so much wine and meat also made them happy and convinced of the main general Song Qing's generosity. After all, there are definitely a few people who are willing to spend so much money to eat and drink for their subordinates this year, Song Qing is very generous on weekdays, and the food of Xuzhou soldiers and horses is quite good, but no matter how it is, it is only ten days to eat stewed meat.

The big-headed soldiers are very realistic, and it's no problem to go into battle to kill people with knives. As long as you can eat and dress warmly, now you are eating meat in your mouth, wine is poured in the bowl, everyone is full of oil, and your posture is smoky, it is much better than eating at home for the New Year, and the big guys have no resentment at all after not being able to go home for the New Year.

But this was only the beginning, and it didn't take long for some attentive people to find that the platform for the award was set up again. Let them be familiar with and very much love the propaganda team members on the stage in turn, for them to play a drama, although the treatment of Xuzhou soldiers is good, but the big soldiers are still poor. At most, it is to be able to get a real salary, and it will not be deducted by the upper echelons, and as the drama becomes more and more popular, many troupes are famous. The ticket price to watch a drama is not cheap, and now you can watch it for free in the barracks, or when they drink and eat meat. There is no need to say much about the closeness in the hearts of the soldiers, General Song is really still their intimate person.

The most important thing is that Song Qing, as a caring person, did not drink his own small wine with the officers in the camp tent and eat his own superior small fried children, but led a group of officers to run around, stopped while walking, and toasted the people nearby.

Such a big man came to toast himself, he couldn't think of it before, but now he clearly appeared in front of him, almost all the people who were toasted to the wine were all enthusiastic, and those sitting next to him were also honored, and the whole camp was filled with an atmosphere of drunkenness and self-intoxication, accompanied by Lin Hui's mountain song to the peak.

After drinking a lot of wine, Xue Wu went up, and Song Qing finally got some time to recuperate, and whispered to Ding Kui: "Which madman buys so much spirits?" What was given to me is still pure, so I don't know how to put some water in it? This bowl of salute in the past, General Ben is only afraid that he will have a dead ball if he is not half there! ”

Ding Kui said with a smug smile: "This is all arranged by me personally, you don't have much time to drink a good drink on weekdays, it's rare to celebrate the New Year today, of course, you have to drink enough, go back and fall asleep after drinking, and when we get to Beizhili, we will meet the army over there, but there will be no such comfortable days." ”

"Then you don't need to make such pure wine, wouldn't it be good to mix me with some water?" Song Qing smiled a little helplessly, but he also knew that what Ding Kui said was reasonable, but when he arrived in Beizhili and joined Hong Chengchou and others, he was afraid that there would be no better days, even if he let him lead his troops to guard the side, he would never have the comfort of these few days of travel, not to mention that Ding Kui didn't know that Huang Taiji was about to enter the Kou for the second time, and at that time, everyone had no good life.

While celebrating the New Year in the camp of Song Qing, the camp of Cao Wenzhao, the general soldier of Lintao, is also celebrating the New Year, and the atmosphere is also very warm, although there are no dramas and singing songs and other activities on his side, but how can there be so many extravagant hopes for being a soldier in this year, it is already very good to be able to eat a hot meal, not to mention that there is more or less meat to eat today, which is enough to make these bitter and hard-headed soldiers grateful to Dade, and even bow and worship, at least it is much better to follow General Cao than to follow other generals.

Cao Wenzhao is also a typical example of loving soldiers like sons, but he does not have the equal consciousness of Song Qing from later generations, no matter how much he loves the nurses and pawns in ordinary times, they are separated when eating, especially on such an important occasion to celebrate the New Year, he has to drink wine and eat meat with the officers, this is actually not his own problem, but the problem of the whole era, no matter how much Cao Wenzhao loves soldiers, the most relied on by him are still these generals sitting in the camp tent, of course, including his beloved nephew Cao Bianjiao.

Looking at his nephew who was like a starving ghost reincarnated, Cao Wenzhao's eyes flashed a little bit of love from time to time, but looking at it, he suddenly remembered another person, that is, the same age as his nephew. Song Qing, whose reputation is far more than that, as a famous general of the dynasty, Cao Wenzhao also fought with Houjin, and he knows very well who there are over there, and almost no one in the entire Ming Dynasty can fight a decent battle with others, and they are chased and beaten by others with more enemies and fewer enemies, until this Song Qing appears, he can be regarded as getting his face back.

When he hadn't heard of this person before, he pinned his nephew on his nephew for the future fight against Houjin, after all, Cao Bianjiao's talent for fighting was extremely high. Even more than him, who is an uncle, if it weren't for irresistible factors such as being too young and inexperienced, his current achievements might be even greater than him, he has been doing a good job of cultivating hard for ten years, and then let Cao Bianjiao beat Jiannu Emperor Taiji and plan to shine, who knew that Lu Dao's training plan had just begun, and Song Qing stole the limelight.

This life is really full of uncertainties. Cao Wenzhao was a little depressed in his heart, but he had nothing to say, after all, Song Qing's military exploits were real, and they were all fought with their lives one battle after another. Cao Wenzhao is honest and loyal, although he regrets that his nephew was robbed of the limelight, he will not be jealous of this, but he is very interested in Song Qing. I really want to see them, but everyone's location is too far away, and there are no suitable opportunities in the past. This is the only way to go.

Who knew that this opportunity came unconsciously, and it was not on the battlefield of Houjin, but to exterminate the rogues of the Central Plains, he was very happy, especially when he heard that Song Qing broke Zhang Xianzhong in the north, and later withstood the offensive of Gao Yingxiang's more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, and finally even pursued for a while, and his interest in Song Qing was a little greater, just in time for Hong Chengchou to transfer troops, he also wrote an order together, and waited to meet this famous young general.

But who knows that Song Qing, who has always performed very well in Henan, began to grind after receiving the order, first at first it was just a slow move, and when it came to the border between Beizhili and Henan, he actually stopped there, if it was a normal time, Cao Wenzhao promised to send someone over to urge, and even applied for it with Hong Chengchou, the problem is that it happened to catch up with the New Year, and he really couldn't do this kind of thing, otherwise it would be too unkind, after all, everyone is an official in the same dynasty, and Song Qing's grade is not bad, In addition, the Son of Heaven attaches great importance to it, and it is also a general who commands tens of thousands of troops, of course, it is not good to urge people to hurry up for the New Year, so he can only continue to wait here.

It's just that Song Qing suddenly became so slow, he really couldn't figure it out, because this was not quite like the Song Qing he had known and investigated, it was not much different from the ordinary Ming generals, but Song Qing's speed of coming, sooner or later, it was still people's own business, whether it was Hong Chengchou or Cao Wenzhao, he didn't have the right to manage others, at most, he just got a transfer order, and there was still no way to limit the time, so if he didn't understand, he didn't understand, and he really didn't have any way to take care of others.

Speculating for a while, Cao Wenzhao suddenly felt that he was a little redundant, and he didn't think that these were purely sick, so he turned his face and continued to watch Cao Bianjiao eat meat, just in time for Cao Bianjiao to eat a plate of beef, and was about to look for the next plate, suddenly his uncle looked at him, and thought that he was eating indecently, and he was somewhat embarrassed, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Uncle, my nephew got up early today, ate something and went to patrol the camp, and he didn't have time to eat anything else, he was really hungry, so he was a little prodigal......"

"It's okay, the husband of the man, and he is not one of those scholars, why should he be so elegant when eating? Come on, serve a few more plates of beef to the major general! Cao Wenzhao has always been very tolerant of his nephew, and he did fight for him with Cao Bianjiao, so he didn't say half a word, plus today's New Year, he is an uncle who wants to show the kindness of his elders, and said with a smile: "Ask you about the kid, that Song Qing in Xuzhou has heard of it, he is coming over soon, what do you think of this person?" ”

"Song Qing? I don't know what it looks like, but I should be quite capable, right? "Cao Bianjiao's temperament is similar to that of his uncle, they are all more loyal, if he is replaced by Zuo Mengeng's temperament, he will be mentioned as a leader among his peers, he will definitely look cold and disdainful, even if it is an ordinary person, it is estimated that he will not say anything good, but when he came here, he just smiled, and commented very pertinently: "Don't say anything else, when I joined the Weijing Division, my nephew and you also went, then it is not a battle for people, just because he dares to go out of the city and fight hard, this person is definitely enough, Not to mention that he went to the Daling River to fight and die later, he must be a hero! ”

"You kid just follow me, as long as you see someone who can fight, you think they are heroes!" Cao Wenzhao was a little helpless, this nephew was really thoughtful, and it may not be a good thing in this rolling red dust, but it was precisely because of this, coupled with his ability to fight well, that he always looked down on him, so it was really hard to say anything, so he had to nod and said: "I also think it should be a hero, but what should I do with Zuo Liangyu?" Zuo Liangyu came to me with his son yesterday, saying that he was going to sue Song Qing on Governor Hong's side, and asked me to help him say something, I haven't promised him yet, but after all, he is an old man, and I don't know what to do. ”

"General Zuo has always felt that something has changed in the past few years." Cao Bianjiao picked up a piece of beef again and put it in his mouth, chewed it for a while and swallowed the wine, shook his head, and said: "In the past, General Zuo was similar to his uncle, and he fought honestly, but over the years, he has become a little fond of money, in fact, he loves money, the generals of the Ming Dynasty love talent, and uncle is no exception, but as the saying goes, a gentleman loves money and takes it in the right way, General Zuo looted people's villages all day long, and sometimes even openly went to the county seat to extort money, which is a bit too much, and Zuo Mengeng's kid, It's even more excessive than General Zuo, he doesn't think about the consequences at all, he just has to be happy. ”

"You mean, Zuo Mengeng is to blame this time?"

"Of course, Zhang Xianzhong, who was obviously defeated, ran to pick up the bargain, and if he changed his nephew, he might kill him directly, Song Qing's temper is quite good!" Cao Bianjiao said halfway, but suddenly smiled: "Having said that, this is Song Qing and General Zuo's own business after all, and when they get to Governor Hong's side, they are also in a lawsuit, our Cao family don't follow to make peace, look at their own ability, but the little nephew estimates that General Zuo has no hope, don't be cleaned up by Song Qing again."
