"Grandma Spring, stone." Mao Dan ran out with a sack of grain in his hand.

Seeing him coming out, Shi beckoned to him: "Mao Dan, hurry up, we have to go to line up early, there is a lot of food distributed today, and I don't know when it will be our turn." ”

Aunt Chun took the sack in Mao Dan's hand and put it in her back basket, and asked, "Mao Dan, have you eaten it in the morning?" ”

Mao Dan nodded obediently: "I've eaten it, thank you Grandma Chun for your concern." ”

Aunt Chun was relieved, "It's good to eat, we don't know how long we have to queue up today, I'm afraid that if you don't eat, you'll be hungry." ”

Mao Dan patted his stomach, "I'm full." ”

In fact, it's just a mixture of water, as long as you don't starve to death this year.

When the three of them met acquaintances on the road, they smiled and said hello, and when they got out of the alley, there were more people on the street.

Shi looked around, tugged Aunt Chun's hand and said, "Grandma, you see that there are a lot more officials and officers and soldiers patrolling the streets today, is it because of the ration?" ”

Aunt Chun looked at the patrol team, and her heart was both excited and a little uneasy, excited because the government attached great importance to the safety of low-level people; The nervousness is naturally because he is afraid that he will be robbed of the food after receiving it.

"Probably because I'm afraid that someone will take advantage of the chaos to commit crimes."

The last time the grain was distributed, some people's homes were stolen at night, so it can be seen that the government has also received the news, and this time the grain distribution has been prepared.

Aunt Chun looked down at the hairy egg who was pulling the hem of her clothes tightly, and said, "Maodan, when the grain is brought back, don't put the grain in one place, hide it in separate places, so as not to be stolen." ”

A single child who lives alone in a small courtyard, and there are really ruffians who know about his situation, and I am afraid that they will beat his mind!

Mao Dan glanced at the officers and soldiers on patrol, and responded: "Grandma Chun, I will pay attention!" ”

Besides, more than 100 people, including Chi Zhongjun, the rebel who escaped from Ascension, after they confirmed that the imperial court soldiers and horses would not chase after them, his deputy glanced back at the way they came and said, "Head, you said that the imperial court soldiers and horses really let us go like this?" Isn't he afraid of accountability from above? ”

Chi Zhongjun stopped his horse and looked back at the way he came, "Maybe he has a way to deal with it, besides, we have a lot of food left, at least we can make him pay to the top." ”

The leader stopped, and the other rebels also stopped to take a breath, and Chi Zhongjun saw that everyone was running out of breath, so he simply let everyone rest in place.

Sitting in the woods on the small hillside, the trees blocked part of the falling snow, and the snow on the ground of the woods was not as thick as outside, and everyone leaned on the trunks of the trees slowly, but they were not much more comfortable, mainly because they were blown by the north wind and felt colder and colder.

I sweated when I ran, and when I stopped to rest, I was drenched in the north wind.

"Head, let's walk slowly, it's going to kill you if you stop and the wind blows." The deputy suggested.

Chi Zhongjun looked at the brothers whose lips were white from the cold, and nodded helplessly, "Then let's go slowly." ”

Since they grabbed the food, their dry food has been replenished, but now in the wild, their dry food will always run out one day.

In any case, they had to find the large army before they ran out of dry food.

"Head, where did you say the general is now? I don't know if they have found food? ”

"The general is going in the direction of Feng County, and we can only go to Feng County now, I hope we can meet the general with good luck." Ji Zhongjun prayed in his heart.

Otherwise, they have no food and no troops, and if they encounter the enemy again, then they will have to destroy the whole army.

The deputy felt cold and hungry, so he remembered what Zhu Wei said, "Head, is what the general of the imperial court soldiers and horses said true?" Now that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are really paid in full every month, the military salaries are returned, and the ordnance is well-equipped? ”

Chi Zhongjun led the war horse and walked in front, listening to the words of the deputy, his brows did not stretch, and he looked back at the brothers who followed him, their clothes were shabby and not warm.

"You have eyes, when the two armies fought, you should have noticed that their uniforms are all brand new, and the cotton is filled in sufficient quantities, it should be warm!"

The deputy pinched his stiff cotton clothes, and said enviously: "If only the general could be like the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, he would give us a new military uniform." ”

Thinking of the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, whether they are people or horses, they are fat and strong, I can really envy the dead!

Not to mention the ordnance, when they fought against the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, many brothers' knives were cut by the knives of the imperial officers and soldiers, and they were cut on the bodies of the officers and soldiers as if they were cut on the iron wall, and the ordnance of the imperial court was too sophisticated.

Thinking of this, the deputy couldn't help but sigh: "I just don't know when we will be so fully equipped?" ”

Chi Zhongjun looked down at the shoes he had opened, and sighed in his heart, I don't know what year and month it will be that day, maybe I can't wait for it in this life, right?

Only their own people know best about the internal affairs of the rebels, and their team has departed from its original intention and forgotten its original intention.

A team of more than 100 people relied on a day's dry food to hold out until three days later, and found the main force of the rebels in Yuzhou.

Zhenghe looked at Chi Zhongjun and the others, who were extremely embarrassed, and said with a cold face: "Tell me, what's going on?" ”

Chi Zhongjun recounted what happened to his team, and finally said: "Our base camp in northern Henan is occupied by the imperial court's soldiers and horses, and my team is not the first to be attacked, and it will not be the last to be attacked, the imperial court obviously wants to break our team one by one, and the general should quickly order the rest of the team to loot food and go to Fengxian." ”

If you go to the base camp, it is tantamount to throwing yourself into a net.

No one in the team escaped before, so the imperial court soldiers and horses recovered the Dengxian base camp, and no news reached Zhenghe's ears, which also caused the rebels to know that the base camp was occupied until now.

When Zhenghe got the news, he didn't hesitate much, and issued a military order, asking all the teams that scattered to collect grain to come to Feng County as soon as possible.

Because Zhenghe guessed that the imperial court soldiers and horses would continue to march to northern Henan next, but.

"It's cold and snowy outside, how did the Chi guerrillas know how they got to Dengxian?"

Chi Zhongjun shook his head: "My subordinates were ambushed by the imperial court soldiers and horses before they arrived in Dengxian County, what is the specific situation in the county, my subordinates are ashamed, and they didn't hear any specific and useful news." ”

One of Zhenghe's lieutenant generals, hearing his words, snorted coldly: "There are at least five hundred brothers led by Chi Guerrilla, even if you encounter the imperial court soldiers and horses, you should always be able to save your life if you lose food, right?" And how do you command, how did you become a general? Let eighty percent of your brothers lose their lives, but you escaped unharmed, what should you be guilty of this? ”

Chi Zhongjun gritted his teeth and endured it without refutation, he was really ashamed of his brother who lost his life.

He knelt down to Zhenghe: "My subordinates are derelict in their duties, please punish the general!" ”

Zhenghe glanced at the adjutant general, and said to Chi Zhongjun who was kneeling down with a cold face: "This matter will be cleared later, the most important thing at the moment is how to deal with the pursuit of the imperial court soldiers and horses, thinking that they can rush hundreds of miles to Dengxian in the harsh conditions of ice and snow, and naturally they can raid Fengxian when we are defenseless." ”

The adjutant general glared at Chi Zhongjun and replied, "The most important thing we should do now is to tighten our forces and disperse the probe horses to prevent a surprise attack by the imperial court." ”

Chi Zhongjun hugged his fist and said, "General, gathering troops is only one of them. The imperial court soldiers and horses raided, we did not expect, I believe that the Jizhou soldiers and horses could not imagine, if the imperial court soldiers and horses really chased after us, we might as well raise the strength of the whole army to rush through the defense line of the Jizhou soldiers and horses, and run into the territory of Jizhou.

As long as we break through the defense line of Jizhou soldiers and horses, it will be like a fish entering the sea, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court will not be able to do anything to us for a while! ”

Zhenghe listened to his words, and only felt that there was a light in front of him, and the previous sad face disappeared in a blink of an eye.

He excitedly said, "That's a great plan! The most important thing is that Jizhou is adjacent to Yanzhou, we really don't want to stay in Jizhou, and we will withdraw to Yanzhou when we grab countless money and food! ”

It is believed that if he transports countless money and grain back to Yanzhou, the general will also punish him lightly for the crime of losing his land.

The deputy general has no opinion on this decision, Yuzhou has been scavenged by them, and there is no oil and water to be squeezed out.

It was Jizhou that gave him expectations, he hoped that going to Jizhou would allow his brothers to eat enough, and no longer be like in Yuzhou, everyone was hungry and full, and his body couldn't stand it.

Dengxian County.

With the distribution of grain, the lives of the people in the county town have basically returned to normal, and due to the vigorous rectification of the government and the army, the public order in the county town has also been greatly improved.

The rebels stayed in Dengxian for such a long time, and all the bandits in its territory ran away with the rebels.

It can be said that the law and order in Dengxian County is now so clean for the first time in hundreds of years.

During her stay in Dengxian County, Xia Jing checked the registration and household registration of Dengxian County, which was similar to the situation in other places, and needed to be re-reformed and vigorously cleaned up, so as to truly return Dengxian County to a bright and prosperous place.

It's just that now that the heavy snow has closed the mountains, it is a bit unrealistic to re-measure the land and make a book, and the population survey is only done by the county seat, and the surrounding areas still have to wait for the spring to bloom.

They can't keep chasing the rebels with the skill of skiing, and they can't get too far away from the main army.

If it is too far away from the large army, if there is any special situation, the follow-up troops will not be able to rush to the rescue.

Xia Jing, who was bored, stayed in the backyard of the county government, thinking about what kind of food to treat herself all day long.

"Mother, what are you going to do today?"

As soon as the meal arrived, Li Chengmu came to report on time.

Xia Jing leaned on the soft couch with a small blanket on her body, listened to Li Chengmu's voice, turned her head to look at him, yawned and asked, "Why did you come here so early?" ”

Li Chengmu glanced at the hourglass next to him and said to Ye Fei: "Ye Fei, you tell the queen mother, what time is it at this moment?" ”

Before Xia Jing looked over, Ye Fei replied, "It's still a quarter of an hour before noon." ”

Xia Jing rubbed her face to sober herself up, "It's so late?" ”

Li Chengmu came to her: "Queen Mother, what are you going to do today?" Anyway, now that the cook has sent it over, what you want to eat, tell the cook to do it. ”

Xia Jing glanced at him: "In this case, it's better to eat what you want, go directly to the cook and tell her to make it for you." ”

Li Chengmu smiled, leaned forward to help Xia Jing beat her shoulder: "How can this be the same, I asked you because I didn't know what was delicious, let me choose for myself, I have eaten them." Besides, the queen mother's choice, I can not only taste it, but also accompany the queen mother to dine together, there are many people, and the appetite is good. ”

Xia Jing couldn't help laughing, this kid coaxed people to death and didn't pay for his life, and now this mouth is getting more and more oily.

"If it's freezing today, there are no ingredients, and it is difficult for the cook to show her cooking skills."

In this era, cattle cannot be slaughtered at will, mutton and pigs, ducks, chickens and geese have long been eaten.

Moreover, just after the disaster year, production in various places cannot be resumed for the time being, and who still has the leisure to raise poultry and livestock.

At this time, it is difficult to buy poultry and livestock!

In short, in a word, it is not easy to eat meat in this era.

In the green cabbage bar, except for the cabbage, radishes and melons stored by the people, there are really no other vegetables.

Xia Jing made a little green leafy vegetable that she finally came up with, and the amount was so small that even she and Xiao Wu couldn't supply it.

Under such conditions, the embarrassed cook has to break her head to cook food for them every day.

Li Chengmu's face fell, "Then what are we going to eat at noon today?" You can't eat the pickled cabbage of the chef! ”

When it comes to sauerkraut, Li Chengmu feels that the sour water in his mouth is rising, and it is okay to eat a little sauerkraut occasionally, but he feels that his stomach is refluxing acid after eating too much.

Xia Jing has been in the backyard for the past few days and has not moved much, and she is not strong, the strength of this kid's massage is just right, it is really comfortable.

"Don't look down on sauerkraut, you kid, if the sauerkraut is pickled well, how to cook it and how delicious it is."

"Like sauerkraut fish, sauerkraut boiled white meat, sauerkraut stewed vermicelli, etc., are all very delicious, the more you eat, the more you want to eat, people can't stop!"

Li Chengmu was not optimistic about sauerkraut, but when Xia Jing said this, he suddenly became interested.

"Mother, you can't get fish in winter, but you can get meat, or let's eat sauerkraut and stew white meat at noon?"

Sauerkraut stewed vermicelli, he didn't know what vermicelli was, so he ate sauerkraut stewed white meat for the time being, and next time he figured out what vermicelli was.

Meat is not very attractive to Xia Jing, but she has not eaten fish for a long time, and the water system is not polluted in this era, and the fish in the rivers and lakes are real wild fish, delicious and delicious, which cannot be compared with the aquatic products that were artificially cultivated later.

"Who says you can't get fish if you want to?"

Li Chengmu was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Can the queen mother get fish?" ”

Xia Jing pushed him: "You go and ask the cook to bring the lunch over, let's find someone to get fish early after dinner!" ”

Although Li Chengmu didn't know how to get it, he was obedient.

After listening to Xia Jing's words, she sighed and ran to ask the cook to deliver the food.

Ye Fei, who was standing on the side, was stunned, and Changlu jumped to his feet: "Your Highness, you are here to accompany Niangniang, let the servants do this kind of errand!" ”

Ye Fei looked at the master and servant who ran out, turned around and asked, "Does the master really have a way to get fish?" ”

Xia Jing glanced at him: "You underestimate it, shouldn't it be very simple to make fish?" How can you still doubt your master, me? ”

Ye Fei looked at Xia Jing's vivid face and was slightly stunned, "My subordinates don't dare!" ”

Xia Jing snorted at him: "Duplicity!" ”

Ye Fei slowly raised his hand to cover his chest at an angle that Xia Jing couldn't see, and asked himself: Is he really duplicitous?

If not, why did his chest beat too fast because of his weakness?
