When a distinguished guest came, the old cook was generous.

He went to the chicken coop and killed a fat chicken, picked the Chinese cabbage in the garden, took down the smoked pork hanging from the beam, and had a live fish come in.

I made a few dishes and brought them to the table.

A pot of wine was also scalded and served on the table.

Yang Chengying and You Shihun sat down, and Yang Chengying personally poured wine for You Shihun.

You Shihun looked at the wine and food on the table and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a while, but the quality of the wine and food is much better." ”

"I'm not an ascetic. Everyone's life has improved, and I'm still having a hard time haha. ”

Yang Chengying poured the wine glass full of wine and handed it to You Shihun.

You Shihun got up slightly, took it, and put it on the table.

"When you say that, I wonder about the life of a soldier now."

"No problem. After eating, I'll take you to the barracks kitchen and walk around. ”

"Well, I'll bother."

You Shihun raised his glass.

Yang Chengying also raised his glass: "It's a trivial matter, it's insignificant." ”

The two clink glasses.

After the banquet, Yang Chengying led You Shihun to the barracks.

As in Zhenyucheng, the barracks were strictly separated from the common people's area, and the family courtyard was next to the barracks.

It also implements the same principles as Zhenyu City.

When the two arrived, the soldiers were training.

Afraid of delaying the training of the soldiers, the two took a short detour and arrived at the canteen.

As the supplies became more and more abundant, the size of the firehead army became larger and larger.

In order to protect the soldiers from freezing when eating, a large canteen with a magnificent building came into being.

In this house, a dozen large trees are used as pillars.

As soon as I walked in, there were rows of neatly arranged tables and chairs.

You Shihun was about to open his mouth to boast, when he heard a voice from outside: "Catch it!" ”。

"What's going on?" You Shihun asked.

"Get out and take a look."

Yang Chengying walked out of the cafeteria and saw several fireheads catching a big black pig.

The big black pig was too fat and had a lot of strength, so he shook them off and rushed in the direction of Yang Chengying.

The fireheads were frightened and hurriedly chased after them.

Seeing that Yang Chengying was only a few steps away, a sharp figure flashed. Grab the ears of the big black pig with both hands and press the big black pig to the ground.

The big black pig barked and kicked on all fours, but the man held down his head, so he couldn't get up.

The other fireheads caught up and assisted in the press.

The butcher took a knife and stabbed him in the neck.

The other took a basin to catch the blood.

As the blood flowed more and more, the big black pig cried less and less.

Finally, the big black pig stopped moving.

Only then did everyone get up and salute Yang Chengying with their fists.

Yang Cheng should return the gift.

The man retreated behind Yang Chengying, and he was Gongsun Sheng.

"I'll take a friend to see the cafeteria, you can do whatever you want, don't pay attention to it."

Yang Chengying explained.

"Yes."

The fireheads carried the pigs, and the pots took the pots, and left one after another.

Yang Chengying led You Shihun and followed them to the back kitchen.

The dazzling array of ingredients made the wanderer a little stunned.

"Your food is so good, huh?"

"It's just winter, summer is even better."

"It's terrifying, no wonder your soldiers can win every battle."

"I don't dare to win a hundred battles, and every time I get some small gains."

"Haha, you're so modest."

"So you can tell Governor Yuan that three thousand is too little, give a few more soldiers. I want to transport a lot of people, how can I do it with a small number of people? ”

"Okay, good, I'll try."

The wanderer agreed to come down.

It's just that Yang Chengying didn't know that he did this but it was counterproductive.

You Shihun told Yuan Keli and his colleagues what he saw and heard in Jinzhou Town when he returned.

When they heard this, they all felt that there were more than 3,000 soldiers, so they could only borrow 2,000 soldiers and 80 ships.

The reason is very simple, it is still those two. I am afraid that the soldiers will be emotional, and I am afraid that Yang Chengying will not return the soldiers.

Yuan Keli had no choice, so he wrote a letter to Yang Chengying, saying that three thousand was not enough, but only two thousand five hundred.

Yang Chengying read the letter and sent a letter to Yuan Keli, explaining the urgency of rescuing the people and the hardship of not being able to transfer the sailor away.

Yuan Keli replied and said that he would consider it again.

Denglai pulled it here, and the matter of going to Dachangshan Island was delayed.

In the blink of an eye, it was February of the third year of the Apocalypse.

Spring ploughing has been carried out on a large scale.

"No way!"

Yang Chengying finished reading Yuan Keli's letter, "What I said earlier is good, 3,700 soldiers and 120 big ships, and I will be discounted again." ”

finally talked about the number that Yang Chengying said, but the number of Yuan Keli's letter was only 2,500 soldiers and 90 big ships.

"Governor Yuan also has a hard time."

You Shihun explained for Yuan Keli: "Last year's earthquake was another religious rebellion, and Governor Yuan needed to retain enough troops to prevent the kind of thing that happened last year. ”

"But that's too little."

"Brother Yang, things can't drag on any longer, I think, you can agree."

This is indeed true.

Spring ploughing has begun, if the people can't be transported in time, the spring ploughing is delayed, what will the people eat!

Forget it, every time you don't have a point, you have to do it less.

"This time, for Brother You's sake, I agreed."

Yang Chengying was relieved: "I will go to Dachangshan Island tomorrow to engage in infrastructure construction, and I hope you will be fast." ”

"Don't worry, I'll help you urge you as soon as I get back."

Being able to complete the task, You Shihun was also secretly relieved.

At the moment, it's just a tug on both sides, and there's no big problem.

If Yang Chengying is really anxious and plays a copy to the court, it will completely complicate things, and he may also be criticized by the court.

The difficulty of that Denglai will be even greater.

"Actually, you don't understand why I want so many people and ships."

Yang Chengying suddenly spoke.

"I want to hear about it."

The wanderer pricked up his ears and listened.

"Transporting the people must be secret and fast, once it is detected by Jianyu and the troops are dispatched to fight, how can we resist?"

Yang Chengying said worriedly: "The soldiers under my command are all in the north. The number of these troops in the south is small. Once the two armies clash, our defeat will be small, and the people will be burned again. ”

"Alas! We also have no choice, we can only do our best to obey the destiny of heaven. ”

You Shihun also sighed.

Not to mention that there have been several times when Houjin crossed the border before, let's just say that in history, there have also been several cases where Mao Wenlong migrated people and was then beaten by Houjin.

Although there are not many Houjin soldiers stationed in Zhenjiang Fort, they are accompanied by coats and cannon fodder every time they fight, and there are quite a few of them.

In response to this situation, Yang Chengying sent someone to summon Ning Wan.

"Mr. Ning, have all the craftsmen been recruited?" Yang Chengying asked.

"Naturally. And I also tested their skills, and they were all good. ”

Ning Wan said with a smile.

"That's good." Yang Chengying changed his words, "I'm worried about one thing now......"

He said that he was worried about the possibility of cross-border pursuit and killing after the Houjin soldiers found out.

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and the marshal may need to transfer a thousand Chinese troops to accompany him, and prepare to fight a few battles with the nearby Houjin soldiers."

Ning Wan said: "It can not only strengthen the confidence of the people, but also cheer up the court." ”

Yang Chengying frowned slightly, this involves cross-border troop transfer, and it is a matter between the two countries.

"In my last book, I begged the imperial court to send me a messenger to represent the imperial court at a critical time and negotiate with the imperial court."

When Yang Chengying said this, he simply sat down and wrote a pen.
