The rescue turned into a party.

For this result, the soldiers of Qin Fenglu were very happy, because the current Yan'an Mansion had captured too many cattle and sheep, but there was no pasture for the winter, so they could only slaughter and let the soldiers eat openly.

Early in the morning, the soldiers of Qin Fenglu who came from afar saw that the cattle and sheep had turned into dark red beef and mutton under the dismemberment of Ku Ding.

It didn't take long for it to freeze.

"What's going on? Why not still in the pot? ”

The anxious soldiers were very dissatisfied with this slow treatment. Especially when I saw the cooks boiling the bones in the cauldron, the aroma of the meat wafting along the hot air on the lid of the pot in the camp.

"Uncle, why don't you put the meat in the pot together?"

An anxious soldier stepped forward to ask, and the cook chuckled: "It's cold, make a mouthful of hot food for the brothers." It also looks like it's going to snow, and we can't wait for Brother Pao Ze who came from afar. ”

"You can eat hot meat in a pot, and you can also eat hot soup, isn't it?" The soldier said he didn't understand what the cook said.

"Hot pot, have you heard of it?"

"Hot pot? What kind of food is this, is there meat? ”

"Radish, wead, tofu as the base, bone broth boiled, meat slices are raw, shaved into thin slices with a planer, chopsticks are gently scalded in a pot, and sent to the mouth, the fatty taste and juice melt delicious, people can't extricate themselves. Coupled with the aroma of sesame paste, you will never forget it for a year after taking a bite! ”

"Don't do it for a year, I want to eat it now."

"I can't eat it now, I have to eat noon, but I can eat a bowl of bone broth."

……

After a long wait for food, people can have more expectations. If the taste is exquisite, and it can be so fragrant, for people in this era, there is no greater happiness in life than this.

And hot pot is a delicacy that can satisfy 30,000 people at the same time, and will not be difficult to serve due to lack of cooking.

At noon, the camp was full of curling smoke, and there was a loud snoring of eating and drinking, although the sound was indecent, but they were all military men, and they didn't care much.

"This brother, why do you look at the eyes?"

Luda sat in the crowd, he was the same as the soldiers of Qin Fenglu around him, holding a bowl, eating meat and drinking soup in small sips, and after a while, his forehead was already sweating. When I was suddenly asked, I suddenly remembered that I was here with a mission, not a scoundrel who came to eat and drink. If it weren't for the fact that the hot pot was so fragrant, he forgot what Li Kui told him for a while, and he would never be so oblivious to the food. Even he, an outsider, eats more than his master.

Looking at the dozen or so Qin Fenglu soldiers around him glaring at him, Lu Da smiled: "I forgot to introduce it, a certain is the commander of the Beijing Tiger Battalion." There is no other meaning to come here, it is to greet the brothers to eat and drink well. ”

That being said, the question is that you eat more than everyone else, what does that mean?

Who would dare to believe that this is the host who has come to greet the guests?

"The younger brother's surname is Lu Mingda, a native of Weizhou. Now working on an errand in Beijing, I don't know where a few of them come from? ”

The soldiers of Qin Feng Road are naturally from Qin Feng Road. Luda's Weizhou identity is also a fellow villager of Qinfeng Road, and it is easy to gain favor.

"We are from Qinzhou."

"Longyou's."

"I'm from Weizhou, too."

"Oh, it's a fellow!"

Ruda greeted warmly, and at this time it looked like a host. Of course, he was dressed casually, and he didn't wear the armor in the army, although he applied for an official position as a commander, but what kind of commander was he? He didn't even have the skills to command. In the Song army, the commander was the chief of five hundred, that is, the officer who managed five hundred soldiers. It's not small, it's a serious military attaché, and if it's promoted to a general, it's only two levels, and it's the lowest officer in the middle level who is envied by the low-level soldiers, and the senior generals will take a look at it. It's just that Luda's current identity is still a family member hired by Li Kui, and as for saying that he is a commander, it is not that he is talking nonsense.

On the way here, Li Kui and Cheng Zhijie both reminded him that not only him, but also other low-level officers from the Beijing camp were sent.

There is only one purpose, to recruit people.

The conscription system is good!

Because the original military households were really useless, and the losses of soldiers in the northwest had been very large, they had no choice but to adopt a partial recruitment system during the Shenzong period. It can be said that most of Qin Fenglu's army today are soldiers recruited through recruitment. After a soldier is recruited, a contract is usually signed.

But...... Most of the conscription contracts in the army have expired.

For a well-trained, or combat-ready army, it takes more than a year for soldiers to be trained. Plus the marching station, before going to the battlefield, there were no more than two years.

Wait until you can go to the battlefield to fight, and wait for the opportunity, right?

Most of the non-commissioned soldiers who can be recruited are due to lack of money at hand. There is a way that a good man is not a soldier, and a good iron does not hit nails. chose to be a soldier because his family couldn't get by, so he had to rely on being a soldier to improve his family's hardship. Soldiers in this era, especially in a war zone like Qinfeng Road, who knows how long they can live as soldiers.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to sign a contract for ten or twenty years, so you can only die in the army. Many soldiers have reached the end of their contract only to find that they have no other survival skills than to be soldiers. As a last resort, he could only stay in the army. Such a veteran can be used if he can use it, and if he can dig some up, he will definitely make a lot of money. It's much easier to use than the soldiers sent from the capital.

Moreover, the men in Guanzhong are martial arts, also bloody, and very good to become an army.

Ruda took the opportunity of hospitality to recruit soldiers. With his character, Li Kui can't keep him by his side at all, this guy has no value at home except for drinking and making trouble, that is, practicing martial arts and sabotage. In addition, Luda's performance on the battlefield was remarkable, so Li Kui gave it to Cheng Zhijie.

Cheng Zhijie originally liked to recruit talents, and Luda was the one who saved his life on the battlefield. It's a pity that now the soldiers in the Beijing camp have suffered heavy casualties, wounded and dead. If you want to rely on the capital camp to replenish, I really don't know when Ma Yue will arrive. Li Kui pondered, and took advantage of the opportunity to give the friendly army the wind to try to dig into the corner.

At that time, Luda was not very interested, but Li Kui's words made his crooked thoughts swell all of a sudden.

Li Kui said at the time: "If you can bring in Qin Fenglu's soldiers, one is counted as one, if there are five people, you will be the commander, ten people will be the chief, twenty-five people will be the two chiefs, one hundred people will be the commander of the pawns, and five hundred people will give you a command." ”

Ruda's eyes were red at that time, he could do it in just one day from a family member to a captain of Zhiguo, no matter how big the risk was, he had to fight.

Stared at Li Kui and asked, "This is true!" ”

Li Kui is not a person who is afraid of things, so he agreed as soon as he spoke: "I am still the supervisor of the Tiger Battalion, and after this battle, Hao Sui has sent a secret report to His Majesty, and the Tiger Battalion will be formed in a few days, at least 7,000 troops will be expanded." At this juncture, Ruda, and whether you can seize the opportunity or not, it all depends on your performance. ”

No, there is the reason why Luda is mixed in the camp of Qinfeng Road. As for saying that people are brought in, it is easy to do, and the affairs of the army are let the civilian officials understand, and the generals are estimated to be able to only be knocked out of their teeth and swallowed in their stomachs.

It's just that Ruda is more than strong, but he doesn't have the bearing of an official, which makes people suspicious.

"Lu ...... Conductor, you don't look like that! ”

"It's not not very similar, I was just a personal guard of my family before, but I didn't expect to kill the head of the enemy general in the battle of Jinmingzhai. It was by the grace of my lord that I became the conductor. ”

"Impossible, a personal guard, how can he be promoted to seven or eight levels in a row after a war? What about fools? ”

Everyone is a veteran in the army, and an unreliable promotion method like Ruda is unique in the army. Ruda was refuted, but he didn't care, he pulled a ball of meat from the pot with chopsticks, snorted and sent it into his mouth, the corners of his mouth were oily, and there was no image at all. But in the army, this kind of behavior that does not pay attention to appearance will cause the soldiers' favor.

Luda held the chopsticks, but there was a taste of pointing out the country: "Don't believe it, my family has a great background, the master of Jinshi was born, he used to be the direct secret pavilion next to His Majesty, and now he has come to the northwest and served as the former military supervisor of Yanyan Road." But that alone wasn't enough for me to be in command. However, isn't it enough for the master to kill the party general in front of the battle? ”

"Did you kill it? He is the deputy general of the Iron Harrier, and we don't know how many of Qin Fenglu's brothers died under his sword. ”

Everyone immediately respected Ruda, the army admired the strong, and the strong who can kill the enemy's fierce generals will naturally be admired by the soldiers in the army.

Luda laughed and said: "It's also a shame to say, it's not easy to deal with it." If it weren't for the adults of my family who killed his arrogance, it would not be easy for the master to keep him. Fortunately, this person met my family's prison army. ”

"You don't know, our army is now full of cattle and sheep, and there is no forage, so we can only eat meat at once. You see, all the bubbles in my mouth are eaten by meat. ”

After praising his exploits, Luda Li Kui began to show off the food in the army.

You can't finish the meat, and this is just the beginning.

"You don't know yet, do you? The general of my family is the beloved son-in-law of Mrs. Liu and the brother-in-law of Concubine Xian. His Majesty's former lieutenant served Hao Gonggong, but this ...... in the palace "While speaking, Lu Da raised his thumb to show Hao Sui's honorable status.

"Let's just talk about it a while ago, there were too many Western Xia war horses captured in the army. I chose those who didn't look good and didn't have a strong physique and gave them to the soldiers. Each person gets one horse. Some injuries can be recovered as long as there is a groom who is good at raising horses. If there is such a war horse, it will have to be sold for thousands of guan in the capital, but unfortunately it can't be sold at a price in Fushi City, and the best one is only two hundred guan, almost a hundred guan. The brothers sold the horses, and the money was open for a while, and they were able to send fifty or sixty taels to the family. ”

Goodong, envy to the point of swallowing saliva.

Without contrast, there is no harm.

Qin Fenglu's soldiers were jealous and wanted to put Luda in the soup pot, after listening to this guy's words, he couldn't live a hard life in the future?

One of the strongest men looked at Ruda with unkind eyes, and sneered: "Brother, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Brothers, here's your chance. My Tiger Battalion wants to expand the army, and as long as I come, there will be officials to do it. Ruda pointed to the strong man who opened his mouth and asked, "Brother is two elders, right?" ”

"No, Captain." The strong man who managed the five people was very few, and there was a kind of frustration that he couldn't hold his head up in front of his father and fellow villagers. Two chiefs, but twenty-five people?

Ruda patted his chest and said, "Isn't this burying people? Brother, come to my brother, I'll give you a pawn, how about it? ”

The big man was stunned, and he was in charge of a hundred people, and it is also said that he was called a centurion. This is already a high-ranking official in the army, is it so easy to obtain?

Of course not.

Ruda bewitched: "Brother, a few of you are listening. My commander is empty now, and if you come, except for the commander who can't give you, the other official positions are counted as one according to how many people you can bring, and five people will be the commander of the army, and ten people will be the commander, and if there are 100 people, it will not be a big deal to give one commander. ”

"Brothers, have you ever thought about being a soldier, only three times a month, how can you spend enough?"

"There are not as many as your Beijing camp, and the salary of our Western Army belongs to the second tier of the forbidden army, and there are only two and eight."

Luda slapped his thigh and said suddenly: "But do you know how much you pay for a month?" It's twenty-five in the camp! Brother, people go to high places, water flows to low places, and I don't want to fight at this time, but when? ”

The man's eyes were red by the twenty-five rounds of Yulu, and he lowered his head and seemed to fall into silence. Luda knew that at this time, he only needed one sentence to make the other party's heart change his mind: "If you follow the general, it is not impossible to become a general?" ”

The five-rank military attache can be regarded as the youngest general of the Enyin family.

Such a family is simply disdainful of the family of poetry and book heirlooms. But for ordinary martial artists who only have one martial art, but have no chance to get ahead, there is a great new gravitational pull. And Li Kui was still fanning the flames on the side: "My general is a relative of the emperor, as long as his military merits are false, don't be beneficial, as long as he makes meritorious contributions, he can be rewarded." My family supervisor is a master of Jinshi, although the civil officials look down on our martial artists, but they disdain to swallow everyone's military exploits. There are also eunuchs around His Majesty, this Father-in-law Hao Sui Hao is a great eunuch who can write secret folds to His Majesty......"

"Okay, Brother Lu, don't say it. You also know that my general is not easy to mess with, if people go to your barracks, in case my general comes to ask for someone. I was asked to go back, and I had to peel off my skin. ”

The man's tone was very heavy, and he was obviously very worried that Ruda was just a mouth cannon. If they listened to the demagoguery and took their brothers to the Beijing camp without authorization, in order to increase the military salary by a few hundred wen a month, they would have to touch the thunder of military law, and they would not have the courage. Or rather, it's not worth it at all.

Before coming, Luda had received a face-to-face lecture from Li Kui, and I saw him proudly raise a finger: "Now Su Xiang is in Shi, and his old man is the same senior of my family's supervisor." ”

"Master Zhang is the elder of my family's military supervisor."

When the man heard the names of these two people, it was okay, in the northwest, no one could afford to provoke these two civil officials, even if it was Liu Yannian, he had to take a detour. Immediately, he was ruthless, and said in a low voice: "Subordinates see the commander!" ”

Ruda trembled with laughter: "Okay, in the future, everyone will be brothers born and die together, and they will be called brothers." But guys, it's time for you to go and pull people. Remember, when you go to the Tiger Camp, you only need to report my name to Ruda when you get to the camp gate. It doesn't matter if the brothers pull more people, maybe my family will give me a promotion, even if I don't get promoted, my command can't be let go, and I will recommend you to other conductors. Rest assured, there will be no shortage of official positions promised. And go empty-handed, don't bring weapons, don't wear armor, Jingying is not short of this money. ”

In the camp of Qin Fenglu, when it was time to eat, the battalion officer looked at the front camp and there seemed to be fewer people. After ordering, the food was bad, and the camp of 10,000 people was 2,000 people less.

The Chinese army is no different.

Left Camp ......

"Oh no, Captain Wang, someone is pulling people in the army."

"Have you made it clear who it is?" Lieutenant Wang, the inspector of the Chinese military barracks, grabbed the placket of the other party's clothes, and was so frightened that cold sweat came out.

The patrol soldier reported: "It was someone from the Beijing camp who came, and took the opportunity to bring us wine and meat, so they came to pull people." In the barracks, there were at least three or five thousand people missing. General, what to do? ”

"The marshal has gone out of the camp, if I know what to do, can I still not give an order?"

Lieutenant Wang's hair was about to explode in anger, the peers in the Beijing camp were too unruly, and the recruits actually went to the military camp of friendly troops to pull people, can they still have face?

Isn't it just a little bit more?

"You lead the patrol sentry and guard the gate, and not a single soldier can be released. Also, pull me up the bastards who eat inside and out. ”

"Kill this dog who eats inside and out!"

Captain Wang glanced at his brainless subordinates and killed him, isn't there no proof of death?

Captain Wang immediately asked people to prepare horses, and said to his subordinates: "I will take people to the city to inform the commander, you warn the generals of each battalion to beware of the people in the Beijing camp." ”

After speaking, he took the men and horses, as well as a few 'traitors' who were caught, and hurried towards Fushi City. This is also in the northwest, if it is in the Central Plains, the military camp is generally far away from the city. The main reason is that the city is surrounded by farmland, which destroys the farmland, and ordinary people dare not squeak, for fear that some granges can pull out big people who no one can provoke.

In the city of Fushi, the school field.

The generals from Qin Fenglu, behind the old man Zhang Qi, looked at a bronze cannon in the school yard curiously, and were puzzled in their hearts: "This thing is the battlefield weapon of the Big Iron Harrier?" ”

Li Kui, who was one of the principals, whispered with Cheng Zhijie and Hao Sui.

Cheng Zhijie: "Renjie, I have a bad feeling that a catastrophe is coming for my brother. ”

"Brother, you weren't like this before?" Li Kui was puzzled.

Cheng Zhijie looked at Liu Yannian, and said bitterly at the corner of his mouth: "Didn't I expect it to be an acquaintance before?" ”

Hao Sui smiled and said: "Acquaintances are easy to do, don't worry!" Our family is also a responsible person. Hao Sui smiled like a weasel stealing chickens, when he left the capital, he thought that this life would be over. What I didn't expect was that under Li Kui's operation, Jin Mingzhai made a miraculous feat for the Great Song Dynasty that had not been seen for 20 years, and among this groundbreaking feats, there was his share.

If his luck is a little better, he will continue to make persistent efforts, maybe he Hao Sui will be able to be crowned as the second grade of the festival envoy. With this honor, the family's borrowed planting is almost valued.

In the future, the Hao family will also be a family with grace and heirlooms.

In the crowd of observers, Zhang Qi, who was the leader, said curiously to Liu Yannian: "Brother, have you met an acquaintance?" ”

"It's a junior, forget it, let's talk about it after reading it!" Liu Yan didn't care when he was old.
