Chapter 864: Yanshan Snow, Yanshan Blood (15)

The enjoyment in the temporary post house is actually not bad, the standard of supplying these Song army people is completely compared with the specifications of the wealthy families in Hedong, regardless of sheep wine, vegetables and fruits, and even a full set of Jianzhou kiln rabbit cups, high-grade Ruiyun Xianglong small group tea, for Zhao Liangsi, who was repaired by the right Wendian, to go to the window to share tea. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Even their attachés have three catties of mutton every day, which is a standard that can be regarded as grand when put in Bianliang.

But the people who were shouldering the heavy responsibilities -- Ma Kuo, Zhao Liangsi, and Yao Pingzhong -- were not defeated by such sugar-coated shells.

Needless to say, Zhao Liangsi once achieved the position of Guanglu Temple in the Liao Kingdom, and a few pieces of Longtuan tea were just dozens of prices, and they were not in his eyes.

Ma Kuo is a thousand-mile horse of the Western Army, and Yao Pingzhong is a small lieutenant of the Xihe Army, as a rising star of the generals, their family power is not the Ming Dynasty with the title of military general, in fact, it is only comparable to the guard officials who are similar to the rich people in the countryside. The Great Song Dynasty had strong financial resources in the Middle Ages, and most of the financial expenditure was used to support the Western Army, the only field army that could handle it.

Although the generals up and down the Western Army are also loyal to the king, every time there is a war, it is only normal for the children of the generals to die in the battle array, Ma Kuo's brother and Yao Pingzhong's biological father died in this kind of battle in the border town. But in the same way, the center's endless supply of goods also gave the Western Army generals the capital to operate, and laid a deep foundation in the Kansai Zhulu.

Although Bianliang concentrated most of the goods under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, more than half of these goods were constantly transported to Guanxi. At least the enjoyment of the Western Army's generals does not dare to compare with Cai Jing and Wang Hao, but compared with most civil officials and doctors, it is not inferior.

In the eyes of these people, this kind of hospitality in Zhuozhou City can only be regarded as acceptable, but everyone rushed to Zhuozhou in the wind and snow, not for this kind of small entertainment! The so-called subordinates and so-called Taoist officials in Zhuozhou are absolutely intolerable and absolutely intolerable, and it is necessary to let them know that the Great Song Heavenly Army will not allow such foolery.

The only problem is that Ma Kuo belongs to the Xuanfu Division directly led by Tong Guan, while Yao Pingzhong is from the Xihe Army.

The positions to which the two belong are different, and their positions are naturally somewhat different. Yao Pingzhong's meaning here is to represent the old race and seek the right to speak for the Western Army in the war against Liao.

And the open and secret battles between the Western Army Jiangmen and Tong Guan made the two Jiangmen rookies have to have a lot of scruples, but fortunately, there is also a Zhao Liangsi among them. As the right Wendian edited by Zhao Ji, although Zhao Liangsi and Tong Guan are one party, they naturally have a little bit of detachment and neutrality in the disputes between the military ministers.

With Zhao Liangsi in the middle, everyone sat together half-pushed and half-sat together. Especially Yao Pingzhong, as soon as he entered Zhuozhou City, he was slapped with an iron whip by Yin Xiaolou on the thigh because of trespassing on the Taoist garrison, and he is still a little bad at acting. This whip also made him even more hostile to Zhao Liangsi.

In the flower hall, a tea table has already been set up, full of fragrant medicine and fruits. Zhao Liangsi sat on the top, and there was a pretty maid beside him pushing the silver tea mill, carefully grinding the Ruiyun Xianglong small group of tea that only took one or two to make tea powder. There was also a clever boy holding a long-handled silver ladle, looking after the soup bottle on the stove, and preparing some tea.

Ma Kuo and Yao Pingzhong sat down, and there was no impatience at all, until the soup bottle was boiling, and the boy took water and ordered tea to serve the guests one by one, and was sent out by Zhao Liangsi.

Now Zhao Liangsi seems to be the backbone of the crowd, and he actually has a bit of a big Song Shi doctor's bearing in front of Ma Kuo and Yao Pingzhong, and he said first: "Ma Xuanzan, Xiao Yao Taiwei, the students and the two of them went to Zhuozhou, but how about seeing this terrain?"

Regarding Zhao Liangsi's question, Ma Kuo groaned and responded directly: "In the past, it was said that Zhuoyi Erzhou was garrisoned by the Liao State's Changsheng Army, and the Changsheng Army was changed from the previous defeat of the Jurchen's resentful army. However, this army and horse stationed in Zhuozhou are strictly ordered and the law is strict, and it is clearly a strong army!"

There are other words, Ma Kuo did not say in his throat. As a member of the Xuanfu Division, he is also a capable member who has had in-depth contact with the Jurchens, and he is in charge of the affairs of "recruiting and surrendering rebellions" in the Xuanfu Division. Among them, I don't know how many fleeing Liao people who dragged their families and families were harmed by the second- and third-rate miscellaneous armies in the Liao army.

Even the Qin Feng Army and the Jingyuan Army led by the old and small species, the Xihe Army led by Yao Gu, and the Shengjie Army led by Tong Guan, as the main force of the Liao Expedition, had relatively strict military discipline, but the place where the disaster started was also unambiguous! During the period when the army was stationed on the border, local officials came to complain to Tong Guan and Cai You almost every day.

Compared with the military discipline of the Song army, this strange military horse in Zhuozhou City not only patrolled the city and deployed defenses in a very orderly manner, but even sheltered the Yandi homeless people.

Ma Kuo went to the camp camp to take a look at the camp when he was eating, not only did the whole camp see no feces or sewage, but even the complexion of the homeless people looked much healthier, without the blue, white and waxy color under the pressure of hunger and cold. Even the displaced people who lined up to provide relief were wearing uniform winter clothing, a gray-blue, extremely heavy pullover, which did not have the ragged appearance of the fleeing Liao people that Ma Kuo had seen on the border.

Not to mention, outside the city of Zhuozhou is still rushing to build the outer city, this kind of large project, not only extremely labor-intensive, not to mention the transportation of masonry, civil engineering, in the cold winter season, the consumption of money and grain is multiplied. Such a great battle, even if it is the Great Song Dynasty, which is rich all over the world, only the river workers from the Yellow River to the Bianhe River are willing to invest so much, but they unexpectedly saw this scene in a small Zhuozhou City!

No matter from which aspect, what he saw in front of him greatly violated the common sense of Ma Kuo, a disciple of the general.

The Song army had never seen such a banner and such a military system under the command of Taoist officials. Not to mention that this army and horses do not rely on Hedong Road to receive grain and grass, but they have a large amount of money and grain to help the displaced people and strengthen the city defense!

If the banner of the Great Song Dynasty is true, when did the Great Song Dynasty have such an uncontrolled military horse? And how did the Taoist officials, who were supposed to preach the scriptures in Zhai Jiao, reach out to the army?

You can't think about these questions one by one, and if you think about it deeply, even if you are a soldier like Ma Kuo, who has always been bold, is in a cold sweat!
