Song Nian nodded slightly, she still knew that she would follow the local customs and respect the traditions.

Chu He was on the side, and asked a few questions seemingly casually. It's all about the military. Na Helu's face became serious, and he answered a series of questions from Chu He very seriously.

How much grain and grass is needed for a few days for an army to be pulled, how many people need to be requisitioned, and if it is besieged, how long can Shanyin Village hold out, etc.

In short, Song Nian didn't understand much, and always felt very powerful.

Then, He Lu seriously asked Song Nian about the military rations, and Song Nian did not hide his personal ...... Well, it's mostly too simple, and there's nothing to hide.

After hearing this, He Lu shook his head with a wry smile: "It turns out that it's so simple, in fact, these two methods ...... It is not common on the Jiuyuan side, but on the Hu people's side, it is daily. But I saw the forest and not the trees. ”

It turns out that the Hu people often live in pursuit of water and grass, so they are accustomed to stir-fry oil and barley flour together, boil it when needed, and use it when needed, and the same is true for dried meat, after drying, chop and cook when needed.

This made Song Nian couldn't help but sigh that the two worlds had converged and evolved.

However, for Song Nian's daily practice of the Hu people, he further simplified it and put it into a slender cloth bag for the soldiers to carry on their bodies and dump it at any time when they eat, He Lu praised it a lot, making Song Nian blush slightly...... Where did she come up with this, she just copied some film and television dramas and photos from her previous life.

A few people were chatting, and the soldiers hurriedly came in to report that someone was visiting.

When He Lu went out to greet him, Song Nian smiled and asked some of the soldiers around him a few questions.

This is to take advantage of the fact that the two sides seem to have a good relationship, and the soldier is not wary, and he can ask something to come out.

Sure enough, after a few words, Chu He and Lin Lao's expressions became serious.

Although Houl never whipped or physically punished his soldiers, and even often went to eat and live with them, he ...... It is true that there is not enough food and grass, so that the soldiers below enter the field and starve and freeze.

This is still Shanyin Village, and it is said that the situation is even more serious in other walled forts to the east.

But Chu He and Song Nian didn't have much to say...... After all, Fang Cai He Lu explained the accounts more clearly, and it was true that the grain and grass allocated by Jiuyuan Mansion was insufficient.

As for making him want to be like Shanyang Village, trading with merchants and oppressing Hu Shang, Song Nian felt that he couldn't open this mouth.

It's a dilemma.

After a few moments, Holu turned around, and behind him, with the Hu merchant, Lao Ba Ri'er.

Chu He frowned slightly, could it be that He Lu was also going to start learning Shanyang Village? Although he didn't like He Lu's scholarly style, he also didn't like the ** in Shanyang Village.

As a result, He Lu took Lao Ba Ri'er and asked for help from Chu He.

This made Chu He's face change slightly.

"Lord Chu, the Shanyang Village is too tight, the Hu people are not good at farming, and they really can't get together this grain, see if you can help......" He Lu's expression was serious.

"Hu people? Lord He, my Black Armor Army is the army of the Great Yongguo, why do you want to help the Hu people? Lin Lao was on the side, and said indifferently: "Do you know that this is an enemy!" ”

"What did Lin Lao say...... I am in a border area, there is not enough food and grass, how can I resist the invasion of foreign enemies? He Lu disagreed with Lin Lao's statement, and defended himself: "The Hu people are also people, and they will not come to attack my fortress for no reason, even if my Shanyin Village is in disrepair, if the Hu people want to capture it, at least thousands of people will be killed and injured, whose children are not children?" As long as they can live, who will send them to death? As long as we educate the Hu people well, help them when they are in difficulty, and let them live and work in peace and contentment in the frontier, this side of the frontier will be truly safe. ”

"I secretly think that living and working in peace and contentment inside and outside the border wall, and everyone does not think about robbing and killing, is the foundation of the eternal peace of my frontier." He Lu pointed to his Shanyin Village: "As for such fortresses, they are just dead things. It's useless. “

Song Nian nodded slightly when he heard this, it makes sense, as long as life can go on, who likes to attack this kind of fortress from birth to death?

Lin Lao said angrily: "What kind of fallacy is this? Hu people and wolves are ambitious, and they are eyeing me at any time. ”

He pointed to the nearby side wall: "If there is no such side wall fortress, hum...... This place has long been full of smoke. ”

Song Nian nodded slightly, it makes sense, if you forget the war, it will be dangerous, if you don't defend yourself, maybe when people think that the cost of looting is too low, it is still simple to kill people and set fire to rob.

Chu He squinted his eyes and watched coldly.

He Lu's lips were dry, but he was always refuted by Lin Lao.

In the end, Lin Lao simply said: "Your border army can still guard the field, my black armor army, hmph, my family even sent out the manor of the Beijing division for the sake of the black armor army." ”

This made He Lu speechless, and Lin Lao's meaning was very clear: the Black Armor Army had no surplus food, so we couldn't let our family use private property to subsidize this Hu merchant.

Lao Ba Ri'er could also understand Chinese, and when he heard the words, he kowtowed to Chu He again and again, and then said a few words.

Song Nian and the others couldn't understand, but He Lu turned pale again.

"What did he say?" Chu He asked.

"Lord Chu...... He said...... Since the Black Armor Army is going to the clouds to investigate the case, if Lord Chu can give him food, he will let the people in the clouds match you to investigate the case. Holu said.

"How did he know that we were going to the cloud field to investigate the case!" Lin Lao's face was gloomy.

"This ......" He Lu was suddenly frightened, this sentence is not right, it is to find out the whereabouts and intelligence of the Black Armor Army, which is an extremely serious matter in the army.

He muttered and talked to the old Ba Ri'er for a while, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "Lao Ba Ri'er said that you met the deserter halfway, so this time you came, the main reason is not to investigate the case of the deserter, then it should be to get out of the customs, and he said that no matter what the black armor army wants to do when they want to come out of the border pass, they must go to the cloud field." ”

Song Nian understood, and said with a smile: "It's not difficult to guess that we are going to Yunzhong Field, but why do you know that we are 'investigating the case'?" ”

He Lu smiled bitterly: "Actually, it's not guessed, it's actually investigating cases, doing things, etc., in Hu, it's all one word." ”

This is also a clear explanation. Song Nian looked at Chu He: "Lord Chu, look, do you want to say hello to Xue Hu......

According to Song Nian's thoughts, in fact, for the sake of the overall situation, it is not a big deal to talk to Na Xue Hu and let Lao Ba Ri'er go for the time being.

But Chu He said indifferently: "If you don't mention the matter of investigating the case, this seat can still help you be accommodating, but since you mention this matter, then give up!" It's just a case to investigate! There are countless capable people under this seat, how can you be coerced by a barbarian outside the country? ”

Song Nian covered his forehead, yes, it backfired.

Does this Chu River belong to a donkey?
