"Xiao Er, where are you from Henan?"

Zhao Ming casually interrupted the monkey's boasting and turned to look at Wang Er.

Wang Er had just been cooperating with Ah Fu to suppress those tribes who didn't want to migrate again, and he was a little tired now, but he still raised his spirit when he heard Zhao Ming's question.

"Back to Zhao Ye, I am from Xuchang, Henan. Xuchang, you should know, right? Cao Cao started there back then. ”

"Hehe, of course I know, there are many celebrities here!"

Zhao Ming smiled and nodded, Xuchang is a place that some people may not be familiar with now, but in ancient times, it was called Yingchuan County, and the scope included Xuchang.

The Warring States period is a large number of celebrities, what Lu Buwei, Han Feizi, Zhang Liang, there are more celebrities in the Three Kingdoms period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there are also celebrities such as Wu Daozi in the Tang and Song dynasties.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the cultural center of early China was this place, and even if the economic and cultural center moved south, it still has a place.

"How many people are in the family?" Zhao Ming continued to ask.

He really doesn't know much about Wang Er's family background.

"Zhao Ye.... When I went out to mingle, I was still young, and I was the only one in the family. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Er's face was obviously a little nostalgic, "I used to follow a few ruffians in my hometown, and then my father and mother found me a job to herd cattle for a big family."

Alas, I also blame me for not being angry, thinking of poking the bird's nest with my brother and tying the cow to the tree. When I got back, the cow was taken away.

My father and mother asked me to go out with my things overnight to hide.

As a result, I never went back.

Later, I heard that the big family had reported to the official, so I couldn't go back, but fortunately, not long after I went out, I made a name for myself in the Dadaohui, and sent some money back to my fellow villagers every month.

I heard that now my father and mother have given birth to two younger brothers and a younger sister in my hometown, so I don't think I need to go back.

And I don't have the face to go back. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Er scratched his head with a smirk, as if he didn't care about it anymore.

However, Zhao Ming saw that this kid was hiding something.

In fact, Wang Er's mind is not difficult to guess, Zhao Ming didn't say much, just patted Wang Er's shoulder.

"Don't worry, you will definitely be able to go back in the future, not secretly but openly!"

Hearing this, Wang Er trembled, looked at Zhao Ming silently, and didn't say anything, but the hand in his sleeve tightened.

The reason why Wang Er joined the army and followed Liu Dashuai all the way to the north and south, even if the war was more and more cruel every time, he still gritted his teeth and held on, it was nothing more than fighting for a breath.

Similar situations are not uncommon within the Zhensong Army.

This is also normal, if anyone is decent in their hometown, who wants to go out and explore the rivers and lakes?

Don't look at Zhen Songjun as a group of gangsters, poor ghosts, and mud, in fact, the more this kind of person is, the more he breathes in his heart.

They just don't have any culture, they don't have any vision, and they can't find the direction of how to achieve their goals in many things, which leads to many gangsters on the rivers and lakes who can't get a name for themselves in their lifetime.

In the end, like Xiangzi, after experiencing social beatings again and again, the backbone that gritted his teeth and strengthened could no longer bear the pressure and collapsed, and even gave up on himself.

Now Zhao Ming has given them a clear direction.

"Hehe, little second son, I didn't expect your kid's father and mother to be still there!"

The monkey opened his mouth like a dumbfounder, and he spoke openly.

Of course, this is also to his own brother, he will be so aggressive.

"I'm miserable, I haven't lived for most of my life and I don't know who my father and mother are, I have been in the market since I was a child, and then I followed a big brother to become a swordsman.

As a result, the swordsman died, and I was the eldest brother of a small place, and then I followed Brother Chang.

But you have a home and can't go back, I'm homeless, why don't we complement each other? ”

"How do you complement each other?" Wang Er had some doubts in his heart, could it be that Brother Monkey wanted to recognize his father and mother as his father-in-law?

As a result, the monkey's next sentence made Wang Er directly smash it with an angry punch.

"In this way, I reluctantly call me father, and I will accept you as a righteous son, so that you will follow my old father every day, and you will be home everywhere."

As soon as the monkey's words came out, the two suddenly scuffled.

Looking at this scene, Zhao Ming chuckled, the monkey's ability to be a cheap person is really not simple, and he can always make Wang Er, an honest child, angry.

"Master Zhao, take a step to speak!"

At this moment, Zhang He beckoned to Zhao Ming with a bowl, seeing this, Zhao Ming didn't think much about it, got up and followed Zhang He to a relatively secluded place.

"What?"

"Master Zhao, you should know about the grain, right? What are your thoughts? Zhang He spoke directly.

"Hmm."

Zhao Ming nodded, Zhang He is so worried and understandable, eating is the top priority.

"I'm going to collect all food rations starting tomorrow, and starting tomorrow, everyone except the fighters will have half their food!"

"This.... Wouldn't that be bad? I heard from the Fu steward and the old grandson that this grain and grass can last for two months at most? Zhang He frowned.

"Well, it can last for two months, but we can't count everyone on an average scale."

Zhao Ming shook his head, "Preparers, I need to make them not only satisfied with normal eating and drinking, but also have to feed them and have meat for every meal!"

This is not negotiable, and from tomorrow onwards, I plan to send some people from various departments to gather a team of 1,000 people for training.

These men will be fed, and their horses will be fed for me!

According to this calculation, let alone two months, it is more than one month to last. ”

"Is that really going to be like this? Our Huozhongtun is blessed with a unique geography, as long as we are safe, they are afraid that it will be difficult for them to attack.

Actually, Zhao Ye, we don't need to fight with them.

Their loss of a few thousand people is nothing, but if we fold these thousands of people into it, we will be lambs to the slaughter, this....

And as long as we hold the river, they find that they can't storm it, and most of them won't care about us and go straight south.....

So...."

Zhang He frowned, his meaning was obvious, that is, he didn't want to continue to conflict with Outer Mongolia.

It is better to survive on what little food you have than to hit a stone with an egg.

Zhao Ming had already expected this idea, and he could even be sure that in addition to the old department of the Zhensong Army, the rest of the people were afraid that many people would have similar ideas to Zhang He.

The strength of the Outer Mongolian people has long left an extremely deep impression on the people of this grassland, not for a short period of time, but for decades of fearful memories.

"That's not your idea, is it? Lao Sun also thinks so? Zhao Ming narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile.

"Uh...."

Zhang He touched his chin and smiled bitterly, "Not only me and Lao Sun, but also the pastors of other tribes. I'm kind of a messenger, if you have any other ideas, then follow yours. ”
