Chapter 117: Organized

79 free reading Lao Huo came to Da Kui's side and said with a smile: "This is the case in this rear army, in addition to eating and sleeping every day, there are still one or two hours to rest, if you go out with the army, there is even a discount on eating and sleeping," Da Kui knows this, once the army goes out, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the army want to eat, then the head army will face a busy schedule,

The old army returned to the head of the army station, it was the time of the Hou Shen, everyone hastily eaten, then it was a busy job, pots and pans were washed one by one, there were still a lot of fragmented work, and when all the work was done, it should be the time to prepare dinner, in the army, except for the generals and other leading people, ordinary soldiers did not eat breakfast, fortunately at this moment in the Beijing Division, if it was fought with the army, then I am afraid that it really did not even have time to rest,

In this way, the gang leader army received an order, with the baggage grain and grass team rushed to Beiping, stopped in Jeju Mansion halfway, and returned to the command of the conquest army, Da Kui heard the news, his heart was full of emotion, and finally had the opportunity to return to his hometown, and I don't know if the grave of the mother is full of wild grass now,

On the day of the team's departure, the traffic was not lively, this is the grain and grass to be transported to the conquest army, and now it has just recovered the boundary of Shanxi and Beiping in Shandong, Jiangbei has been on fire for many years, and the people have long been unwilling to cultivate, so most of the grain and grass must be transported from the south.

The leader of the gang army with ten mules and horses carts, pulling the required items to follow the grain and grass baggage team at the end of the march to the north, along the way people and horses neighing, the team is mighty, to Shishidu, and then carried by the warship across the river, the whole baggage team tens of thousands of people, across the river took six days,

The warship went down the river and went to the waters of Guazhou, Da Kui looked at the waves of the river and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, His Royal Highness King Song Xiaoming fell into the water here, if it was safe and sound, what would Daming look like now,

On the shore, the leader of the army and the baggage team will gather, the team marched north again, all the way for nearly three months before reaching the boundary of Jeju Prefecture, it is late autumn at this moment, and I see the grass and trees in my hometown again, and the autumn leaves are scattered.

The leader of the gang was escorted into Jeju City by a group of Ming troops, and since then it has been separated from the baggage team.

On the streets of Jeju City, you can often see patrols coming and going, but there are few pedestrians, after the war, even if it is a big city, it will be a lot of depression, but everything around is still as before, every street and alley is the same as before, Dakyu has left Jeju for so many years, but everything in Jeju is still deeply rooted in his heart, and Dakyu has a deep attachment to his hometown in his heart.

Da Kui and his entourage came to the south of the city Guanyin Temple to settle down, because there is an army stationed, the Ming army military regulations strictly ordered not to disturb the people, so the gang leader army camped in the square in front of this Guanyin Temple

Guanyin Temple is the temple of Guanyin in the South China Sea, although it is the year of war but also incense continuously, Da Kui has heard his mother say, because of the marriage with Da Kui's father, a year after the stomach did not move, and then Da Kui's mother went to this temple to burn incense and ask for a child, and then it came true, the next year there was Da Kui,

"What are you doing, go and set up a tent," a captain galloped to the front of the gang head army convoy and stopped his horse, and shouted, the old soldiers did not dare to delay, they went to get busy, Da Kui was standing in front of the Guanyin Temple in a daze, hearing this shout, but he was a little angry in his heart, the captain who rode the horse saw Da Kui standing alone in front of the Guanyin Temple, not only turned over the saddle and got off the horse to Da Kui approached and asked: "This big brother, you are the captain of the gang,"

Da Kui nodded and did not answer, the captain led the horse and said: "The rules in the army, the leader of the army must set up camp immediately when he arrives at the camp, you are the captain, and you should know the reason," Da Kui and this captain are of the same military rank, so this captain is not very impulsive to speak to Da Kui,

Da Kui smiled and said, "I know this, I am from Jeju, I just came from Beijing, and I have been a little homesick for many years,"

The captain smiled and said: "This is also human nature, I also said what I should say, General Pang is very strict in governing the army, you can't be sloppy,"

Da Kui nodded when he heard the words and said, "Thank you for mentioning it, my brother is busy with military affairs, so I won't bother,"

Saying that the two of them hugged their fists and said goodbye, Da Kui went to arrange for people to camp,

Simply set up a big tent with four high poles, dozens of pots and stoves were tired of bluestone in the tent, each person guarded a big pot, and then began to make a fire, Da Kui took a bundle of firewood to the side of the stove, and began to slowly add firewood to the bottom of the pot, as the flames gradually flourished, Da Kui's mind drifted back to Wulitun, after many years, I don't know what the home looks like,

The meal is ready, there are already soldiers waiting in a long line, the old soldiers distribute bowls, chopsticks and steamed buns, distribute porridge and water, everything is in order, the soldiers receive the meal and disperse, find an open space to squat on the ground to eat and drink, until the soldiers have received the meal one by one, Da Kui found that there are less than 2,000 people who came to eat, in order to seek the truth, Da Kui took a bowl of porridge, pinched two steamed buns and came to a soldier,

"Brother, look at you as a big man, two steamed buns can't eat enough, come and eat mine," Da Kui smiled and accosted a soldier, and handed over the steamed bun in his hand, the soldier saw that Da Kui was a captain, where did he dare to take the steamed bun, and he couldn't take care of eating, so he hurriedly refused, Da Kui smiled and stuffed the steamed bun to him, so he pretended to be okay and sat on the ground and drank the porridge,

"Thank you, big brother," the soldier took two steamed buns and looked at Da Kui with tears in his eyes,

"Why bother, eat quickly," Da Kui put down the porridge bowl, but asked, "I don't know who General Pang is,"

The soldiers were gobbling up, and when they heard the words, they said: "General Pang's name is Pang Heihu, and he is the vanguard general under Tang and Tang Dudu," he said and took a sip of porridge, and put down the steamed buns in his mouth.

Da Kui nodded and asked, "Even if they are pioneers, why are there only two thousand people?"

When the soldiers heard this, they stopped eating or drinking, but sat down on the ground and wept with their hands on their knees.

"Little brother, why are you," Da Kui asked hurriedly,

The soldier cried for a long time, and then choked up: "A few months ago, Tang Du Governor was ordered to attack Longzhou (now Longxian County, Shaanxi), Qinzhou (now Tianshui West, Gansu), Fuqiang (now Gangu, Gansu) three places, General Pang, as the vanguard, naturally had to bear the brunt, who knew that he encountered an ambush in Fuqiang, nearly half of the whole army suffered casualties, and he retreated to Shanxi in desperation.

Da Kui couldn't help but praise when he heard this: "You are very good, you can be ashamed of it after losing a battle, if the soldiers under Tang Dudu are all ashamed of defeat like you, why worry about not succeeding in your deeds,"

When the soldier heard this, he wailed, "My brother died in battle, woo woo," but he sat on the ground and wept,

Da Kui is not only deflated, it turns out that this brother has no other sadness,

After taking the porridge bowl, Da Kui stood up and wanted to persuade the soldier, but he opened his mouth a few times but was a little short of words, and when he returned to the old army, Da Kui took two steamed buns and put them in the soldier's bowl and said, "Eat, it's better to eat when you're full,"
