Chapter 208 Hot Rice
Yes, we are from the Chu State, dare to ask who are you? ”
"I, we are transporting grain and grass, but because of the heavy snow, we are separated from the rest of the team."
Not to mention anything else, as long as it is the word grain and grass, it will make the eyes of the people in front of them light up, and they stumbled eagerly over, and then saw the dozen or so grain and grass carts.
After swallowing a few saliva, it seemed that there were already countless steaming buns flying in the sky in my mind at this time.
"It's really our cart transporting grain and grass, and we came to meet you on the orders of the adjutant general."
"You, what you said is easy, but what token is there to prove it?"
The police felt very much, and several people showed smiles on their faces, and then said: "There are just a few of us, but you are more than a dozen, what is there to be afraid of?" ”
The other side looked at each other, seemed to think that their words also had some truth, and became relieved, and beckoned them to come over.
In less than a quarter of an hour's effort, the people in their twenties in front of them were already confused, and the mentors who called them brothers and sisters were very affectionate.
Chewing on the fine grain white film in his mouth, he suddenly felt that the color of the world had changed, and it seemed that everything would become better.
Turning to look at the grain cart covered with canvas, several people said, "So you really got lost in the wind and snow?" What about the others? ”
"It's really hard to say, if we hadn't met you, we might have frozen to death in this ice and snow, and I have to thank a few more brothers!"
"Hey, where is this, everyone is from Chu State, besides, you have come so far to deliver food to us!"
They greeted each other, and it seemed that at dawn around the corner, the group of men and horses had reached the city gate.
Holding the waist card of the lieutenant general in his hand, he shouted loudly towards the city tower with laughter in his eyes: "Brothers, still not let go?" This is a wagon that transports grain and grass to us! ”
Grain and grass? At this time, it seems that this is the only thing that can make the group of hungry people in front of them feel extremely excited.
Seeing that the city tower was about to be opened, someone suddenly shouted: "Stop! ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they looked sideways, and saw that the old man whose cheeks were already sunken was white, and his eyes were black, and he suddenly rushed up, and shouted loudly to the bottom of the city tower: "Where did you come from, and you still want to deceive the old man?" ”
"General, it's us! We, you don't know us anymore? A few days ago, a few of our brothers were still guarding the castle tower! If you don't believe me, ask a few of your brothers next to you. ”
Wang Yuyuan looked sideways when he heard this, and several people nodded busily.
"General, it's our people, they were still there a few days ago!"
"Since you were still there the other day, when did you leave? What's going on now? ”
The people below looked at Wang Yuyuan so cautiously that they could only repeat everything from the beginning.
Although the deputy general testified, Wang Yuyuan was still worried, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Since you are separated, why don't you wait for your large army?" ”
"Old general, we heard that the soldiers in the army have not been able to eat well for a long time, so we followed these brothers back first; Besides, we are not familiar with the road here, and if we stand there and wait for the large army, we may freeze to death! ”
This is not unreasonable, but Wang Yuyuan still feels uneasy.
Seeing that the carriage carrying grain and grass below had lifted its lid, it seemed that the goods marked with white flowers and rice noodles were close at hand but could not be touched.
Now the hungry soldiers shouted at Wang Yuyuan one by one: "Old general, this can't be wrong, don't you see that this is grain and grass?" Could it be that this is still fake? ”
"This ......"
"General, you don't want to say that the kid on the other side of Bu Feichen will be so kind to send us food? It's impossible......"
"But the old man always thinks that this matter seems to be a bit too much of a coincidence."
"What is a coincidence? This is called God has eyes, this is that even God can't stand it, this is so that we can live! ”
The public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother said that the mother was reasonable, in short, everyone who stood beside Wang Yuyuan at this time was convinced of these grains and grasses.
After all, they are all starved into panda eyes, and if they do this again, they won't be able to support it at all!
Just when Wang Yuyuan was still worried, he suddenly heard someone yelling.
Then I heard the sound of a horse stepping on the flat river.
The snow rumbling in their ears not far away had already swept up from the ground, and everyone's faces were shocked, and they turned to stare at Wang Yuyuan and shouted: "Old general, it's that kid from Bu Feichen, you can quickly order the city gate to be opened and let this cart transporting grain and grass in, otherwise even these dozen carts of grain and grass will be destroyed!" We're really at the end of our rope. ”
Hearing this, Wang Yuyuan finally made up his mind, he waved his hand and shouted to his side: "Open the city gate and let them in, so as not to cheapen Bu Feichen's men and horses." ”
There was a cheer of joy in the crowd, and then someone waved their hands downward, and the gate was slowly opened through a crack.
Seeing that the Xiguo people in the distance were about to arrive, the city gate here was once again heavily closed.
Bu Feichen took the lead this time and came to the city gate, but raised his head and shouted mockingly: "General Wang, what are you doing here?" So stingy. ”
"Where is that, Lord Regent? How is my Wang stingy? ”
"General Wang, this king gave you some food not long ago, but you don't know how to return the gift, seeing this king is like a mouse seeing a cat, such treatment, don't you allow this king to say a few words?"
"Hehe, what did the Lord Regent say? You have also seen it, we just came here with such a drop in the bucket, which is a drop in the bucket for ourselves, how can we be embarrassed to take it out and offer it to the regent? It's better to wait until a large amount of grain and grass arrives in our country, and the old man will repay your kindness! ”
Hearing this, Bu Feichen seemed to have an arrogant sneer again, and then raised his head and said: "Old General Wang, the king is here to wish you to eat and drink enough, and come out early to fight to the death with this king." ”
After finishing speaking, Bu Feichen had already tightened the reins of his horse, turned around and ordered his men and horses to turn back again without sparing any effort.
Wang Yuyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned around, only to find that the people and horses on his side had long since disappeared.
Looking down again, he looked at the soldiers who had now surrounded the grain and grass carts with a somewhat embarrassed face, and sighed heavily.
The people of such a big city are waiting with their mouths open for food and winter clothes, but what is the use of only a dozen cars coming?
"General, since the grain and grass have arrived, can we start lighting a fire and cooking?"
The soldiers, who had not eaten for several days, shouted loudly.
Wang Yuyuan furrowed his brows again, and asked in a low voice: "This time, how many carriages did the emperor send to transport grain and grass?" ”
"Back to the general, the emperor sent more than fifty carriages to set off from the capital in three batches, and we went ahead with a total of twenty carriages, but now we have been blocked by this damn snowfall, and we can't find other companions at all."
Fifty cars...... Wang Yuyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that although the emperor doesn't seem to be very reliable on weekdays, but when the disaster comes, he also knows which is more important.
Only then did he wave his hand, Wang Yuyuan's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he said: "Since you have come, let the soldiers have a full meal!" ”
After a burst of cheers, Wang Yuyuan dragged his tired and heavy body back to his barracks.
The aroma of rice outside always blew in inadvertently, making Wang Yuyuan also have the illusion that they seemed to be not far from victory.
Someone outside the door pushed the door and walked in, showing a smile towards Wang Yuyuan.
"General, the soldiers are happy to eat outside, and my subordinates will come over and send you some too."
Wang Yuyuan's tightly knit eyebrows slowly relaxed, he slowly opened his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face.
"It's good to eat them all, let the soldiers rest and recuperate, that step Feichen has always been very cunning, you must not relax your vigilance after you have eaten and drunk enough, the city gate must be guarded closely, you know?"
The person who came nodded, put a plate of beef and rice in front of Wang Yuyuan, and said in a low voice: "General, then you eat slowly, I will go down first." ”
Wang Yuyuan nodded, and after the man retreated, it took a long time for Wang Yuyuan to gather enough energy, and slowly got up and lost his breath.
How many days has it been since you have eaten this fragrant rice and tender beef?
The happy one was already fascinated by his eyes, but suddenly the rice was stuck in his neck, making his eyes round the stool, slapping the table hard, and finally swallowing the choking rice, but he hurriedly yelled outside: "Come on, come on!" ”
"General, what do you command?"
"Rice, there's something wrong with this rice, ...... rice"
"No problem? The soldiers have already eaten, and now they can stay in their tents! ”
The person who came looked at Wang Yuyuan with some confusion.
But the latter used chopsticks to point the rice bowl with trembling hands and said: "Millet rice, this is millet rice, our Chu country is located in the northern frontier, how can we produce millet rice?" This is clearly the grain ...... of Xiguo"
But just as he finished saying this, there was a sudden earth-shaking loud noise outside, and it seemed that even the ground trembled a few times.
Wang Yuyuan rushed out at this time holding the table and chair, but collided with a person head-on.
"General, no, our granary is on fire!"
"What?" Wang Yuyuan was so shocked by this sentence that he almost fainted to the ground.
