Yancheng is not small, with more than 5,000 households and a population of nearly 30,000.

Yancheng is mainly engaged in salt production and seafood all the year round, and is relatively wealthy, but now it has become an important military town, where all kinds of materials are transferred and circulated, and the typical "more war, the richer you are".

"Steamed buns, freshly baked, steaming steamed buns, only ten cents a piece!"

The market had just opened, and the street in the city was full of hawkers, ten yuan for a bun, twenty yuan for a bowl of noodles, four or five times more expensive than usual.

It's all about making money as a soldier.

The soldiers are not rich, but they are willing to spend money, because no one knows whether they will come back alive in the next battle.

In Yancheng, no soldier would be stingy with himself.

After the army entered the city, the Yangzhou army parted ways with the escort team and caravan.

Song Che promised to invite the whole army to dinner, but the food of more than 3,000 people was really difficult to greet, so he gave Bao Dayou enough money and asked them to arrange it themselves.

Last night's march in the snow, I was already tired.

Song Che didn't want to go to the barracks to sleep in the bunk, so he found an inn in the city, and waited until he was comfortable and full.

"Shopkeeper, I'm going upstairs to sleep now, and no matter who comes to me later, don't bother, understand?"

"Don't worry, even if the widow comes, it won't disturb your dreams."

"I'm still going to panic when the wokes come, hehe."

Song Che threw down a silver ingot and went upstairs, the sky and the earth are big, and the sleep is the biggest, without a good mental state, the brain will not be able to turn up.

Song Che didn't even bother to wash, took off his shoes and socks and jacket and shrank into bed, staring blankly at the top of the bed with his pillow on his head, his mind full of last night's thrill and the woman who saved him.

Wouldn't those words last night be too heavy?

Is it worth caring about a woman who can't help herself and has a bumpy fate?

It must be very tiring to care about such a woman.

Maybe she is like a firework, incomparable when it blooms, but it is fleeting, nostalgic but irretrievable.

Thinking about it, the sleepiness became thicker, Song Che swept away all the distracting thoughts in his mind and fell asleep soundly.

I don't know how long I slept.

"Da Da Da ......" knock on the door.

Song Che was really reluctant to open his eyes, and asked in a daze, "Who?" ”

"Guest officer, it's me, it's noon now, I'm here to ask if you need lunch?" The voice of the shopkeeper.

Is it noon?

"Don't eat it!"

Song Che pulled the futon, covered his head and continued to sleep.

I don't know how long I slept.

'Da ......' knock on the door.

"Who?"

"Guest officer, it's me again, the charcoal fire in your house is finished, I'll change the cage for you." It's still the shopkeeper's.

"No, it's warm in my house." Song Che replied and asked again, "What time is it?" ”

"It's time to ......"

"That's early."

Keep sleeping.

I still don't know how long I slept.

"Da Da Da ......" knock on the door.

"Guest, it's time for you to wake up, right? I got you hot water. There was a cry in the shopkeeper's voice.

Song Che stretched his waist and slept almost well, so he asked with a smile, "What time is it now?" ”

The shopkeeper replied, "It's already time." ”

Song Che got up just now, and just put on his clothes, but he heard the sound of thunder outside the house:

"Something that doesn't work! I didn't wake anyone up after calling three times, what do you want! ”

"Will ...... Checkmate! You're really embarrassed villain! These eyes don't grow on the villain's body, and they can't be opened if they want to. ”

"Call! Keep calling me! If you can't call it out again, Lao Tzu will burn down your inn with a fire, and see if he can't get out! ”

It seems that someone is getting impatient.

"Guest, Guest, wake up, help......"

"Whew-"

Song Che opened the door and glanced at the door, the shopkeeper was trembling with a basin of water, sweating on his forehead in fright, and behind him stood a burly middle-aged general wearing gold armor and beard.

The middle-aged general grabbed the back collar of the shopkeeper and lifted him off the ground like a chicken.

"That's you!" The bearded general's eyes widened like brass bells.

Song Che clasped his fists and was polite: "Bai is staying here, I don't know where to offend the general?" ”

The bearded general put down the shopkeeper and pushed it gently, and the shopkeeper took seven or eight steps back with the basin.

He approached Song Che, looked down with an advantage of being half a head higher, and said word by word:

"I am Kang Han, the commander of the Chuzhou Horse Army, and I heard Mr. Gao say that Mr. Bai is a famous man in the south of the Yangtze River and has the ability to pass through the heavens and latitudes, so I specially invite Mr. to join the camp as a military advisor!"

The commander of the military horse is not the supreme commander of the army, and the tall man really gives face.

"Your lord has said it, Bai is just a casual guest in cloth, how can he be called the heavens and the earth——"

"Don't say those crepe words, although I don't believe it, but since Lord Gao has come to you, you have to agree if you don't agree!"

Kang Han spat in his mouth, and stared again: "Mr. Bai is invited by himself, or will I resist you?" ”

It's better for the general to be reckless, and it's good to listen to the command if he's reckless.

It's not very polite, but at least it's more straightforward than those deceitful villains.

"Don't bother the general, I have my own donkey......"

Song Che rode a donkey, escorted by a team of soldiers, and entered the barracks.

The military camp is east of Yancheng, very dense, soldiers and horses coming and going, tired soldiers, the whole camp is filled with a depressed atmosphere.

In front of the big tent of the Chinese army.

Gao Chen and a dozen civilian and military generals waited together, most of them with the word "impatient" written on their faces.

"Song ...... Mr. Bai! ”

Before Song Che could get close to the big tent, Gao Chen ran up to greet him and personally helped Song Che get off the donkey.

"Lord Gao, I haven't seen an inch of Bai at this moment, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to be so polite to me."

"Mr. Bai is too modest, last night's attack on the baggage, Bao Tongzhi has already told me, usually kill eighty Japanese robbers, our army will send four or five hundred people, but Mr. only needs to wave his sleeves and let them die in the snow, Mr. is really a strange person."

Gao Chen "couldn't put it down" to Song Che, and pulled him to the barracks: "Come on, come on, follow me into the big tent!" ”

The officials behind him discussed:

"Why does this Mr. Bai need people? DID YOU KNOW? ”

"I heard that he was a famous person in Suzhou and Hangzhou, but I have never heard of his deeds, and there is no famous book circulating."

"Xu is a master of the world?"

"I don't even dare to show my true face, I'm afraid I can't talk about being a master in the world."

There are more derogatory voices than positive ones.

Song Che couldn't hear it.

Gao Chen couldn't bear it, turned his head with a look, and glared at the civil and military forces: "You and others have both ability and political integrity, why can't you think of a plan to break the enemy?"

The officials bowed their heads and stopped talking.

Song Che himself also knows in his heart that he is now a guest of honor, and if he doesn't accept a vote, it will be difficult to convince others, especially these civil officials who love to chew their tongues.
