The weather had just been sunny for two days, and the snow and ice on the ground had melted somewhat, but overnight the sky changed again, and although it didn't snow anymore, the ground froze again.

When Zhao Junsheng took Lu Xuanbo to the camp of the Zhenshu Army, the ground slipped and he almost fell.

When he came to the tooth tent, Zhao Junsheng walked in and hugged his fist at Wan Du Gui and said, "Military master, are you looking for me?" ”

Wan Dugui put down the bamboo slip in his hand and looked up and saw that it was Zhao Junsheng, so he said, "How is the drill of the baggage soldiers?" What subjects are you practicing? ”

Zhao Junsheng replied: "My subordinates have made a drill plan, so that the brothers practice every day, except for eating and sleeping, the brothers have not rested, and the daily practice time is about five hours!" ”

Wan Du Gui frowned when he heard this: "The food in the baggage camp is much worse than that of the garrison army, will the soldiers practice for so long every day make the soldiers' bodies unbearable?" ”

"War master, you also know that the transportation of grain from this Jinling camp to Shanwu County is not safe, it is all within the strike range of the Rouran Iron Cavalry, if you don't train the soldiers to be strong and strong, once you encounter the surprise attack of the Rouran Iron Cavalry, the brothers will not be able to withstand it, not to mention the loss of grain and grass materials, even the little lives will be gone!"

But the practice was excessive, and the brothers could not keep up with the food, and it was easy to lose their bodies! No, more than 30 people have been trained in more than a month! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Junsheng rubbed his hands and stepped forward to smile: "Look, why don't you ······ Could you please write a warrant for the quartermaster to allocate more grain and grass to the baggage battalion? ”

"Why did you abolish so many people?" Wan Du Gui was a little unhappy at once, "Don't expect too much in terms of grain and grass, the town army is not enough to eat, if you have a way to get more grain and grass from the governor's grain and grass officer, I will be in charge of sharing more with you!" ”

Zhao Junsheng was overjoyed in his heart, but his face was embarrassed: "Da Bo Xiaoyi's bastard is not easy to fool, he is very cunning, and it is difficult to get him out of some grain and grass there!" ”

"Don't you have a lot of ideas on weekdays? Why can't you take Dabo Xiaoyi? Wan Dugui looked at him like this, and knew that he didn't see the rabbit and didn't scatter the eagle, so he had to say: "In this way, in addition to the grain and grass materials that should have been allocated to my town, Ben will be in charge and give you two percent of the extra grain and grass materials!" ”

Where is Zhao Junsheng willing, the grain and grass materials he worked hard to get from Da Bo Xiaoyi can only be divided into two percent, he shook his head like a rattle: "No, two percent is too little, you don't want to think about it, I have more than 1,000 men and horses in the baggage battalion, and there are only more than 3,000 people in the garrison army, you only give me 20%, this is too much to say!" ”

Wan Du Gui already knew what kind of person Zhao Junsheng was, Zhao Junsheng talked to him in this tone, and he was not angry, "Then how much do you want to share?" ”

"Two-one-to-five!"

With a "bang", Wandu returned to the case: "Zhao Junsheng, you not only have a big appetite, but also have a big courage, dare to bargain with General Ben?" ”

Zhao Junsheng spread his hands: "Military master, you are a big man and a superior, why bother with your subordinates?" If you are not full of food and drink, how will the brothers have the strength to escort the grain and grass, and where will they have the strength to resist the Rouran Iron Horse? Although the baggage battalion is not the main combat unit, it is also under your command, you can't favor one over the other, treat it differently, you have to have a bowl of water to level up, okay? Those Xianbei generals don't treat us Han people as human beings, but you can't do that! ”

Wan Dugui was silent for a long time by Zhao Junsheng, and stretched out three fingers: "Thirty percent, at most thirty percent!" You also have to be considerate of the difficulties of the general, the number of people in your baggage battalion accounts for a quarter, and the general will give you thirty percent of it is already special care! ”

"Deal!"

Zhao Junsheng accepted it when he saw it, and took out a stack of rosters and presented them with both hands.

"What is this?"

"Didn't the subordinates just say that more than 30 people had been abolished? They can no longer stay in the army, and they can't do heavy work if they stay in the camp, and they will consume food and grass in vain. Zhao Junsheng said with a smile.

Wan Dugui took the stack of official letters, opened a book, looked at it, looked up, and pointed at Zhao Junsheng: "You, you, you have abolished more than 30 people in just over a month, why are you practicing so hard?" They are not animals, and even animals can't be trained like this! The general also knows that you are so strong, and you don't want the baggage soldiers to be looked down upon, but the baggage soldiers are the baggage soldiers, and you can't let the main battle arms use them, and you must not abolish the training in the future, if this kind of thing happens again, Ben will not be able to spare you! ”

Zhao Junsheng hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes, after the subordinates go back, they will adjust the drill plan and reduce the intensity of the drill, please rest assured!" ”

Wan Dugui picked up the general's big seal on the table and stamped it with a big seal on one book after another of the retirement documents, and in less time, all the thirty-two documents approving the retirement were stamped with the big seal.

He handed over these official documents to Zhao Junsheng, and explained: "Tomorrow, General An, the envoy of the Qin envoy, will send troops to escort Babaye, He Laichao, He Ruoting and others to Pingcheng, and they will pass through Shanwu County along the way. The grain and grass you escorted back last time won't be able to eat for long, so tomorrow you will lead the troops to Shanwu County with the soldiers and horses escorting the prisoners to escort a batch of grain and grass back, and by the way, bring the little girl back, and there will be a good one along the way! ”

"Yes!"

"Go ahead!"

"Subordinates retire!"

Coming out of the tooth tent, Zhao Junsheng handed the official letter he was holding to Lu Xuanbo, and was about to return to the baggage camp, but was stopped by someone.

"Zhao Junsheng!" A crisp voice came from behind.

Zhao Junsheng stopped and turned around to look, and saw that it was Wan Yutong, bowed down and hugged his fists and said, "I've seen Miss, I don't know what Miss is looking for me?" ”

Wan Yutong looked at Lu Xuanbo, pinched the corners of his clothes with both hands, bit his lip and didn't speak.

Zhao Junsheng had no choice but to break up Lu Xuanbo: "Old Lu, go back to the camp first!" ”

Lu Xuanbo nodded and left with the official document.

"Miss Wan, please say something!"

Wan Yutong hesitated, but still spoke: "I want to ······ I want to borrow some money from you! ”

"Uh······" Zhao Junsheng was stunned, and his mind couldn't react for a while, isn't it Miss, you are the daughter of a general, in the words of our later generations, you are a typical second generation of officials, Bai Fumei, you actually asked me, a poor man, to borrow money?

"If you don't want to borrow it, forget it, when I didn't say it!" Wan Yutong saw Zhao Junsheng's stunned appearance and thought that he was unwilling.

Zhao Junsheng hurriedly said: "No, no, how much do you want to borrow?" ”

"Three hundred gold!"

"What?" Zhao Junsheng was taken aback, do you think that I, Zhao Junsheng, opened a gold shop, but you dare to open your mouth, and you will borrow 300 gold with one mouth.

"That, I don't have that much money, three hundred gold is not a small amount, and the gang kidnapped you a few days ago and only asked your grandfather for a ransom of two hundred gold!"

Wan Yutong said with a cunning look: "Don't think that I don't know that you and Hua Mulan made a lot of money by partnering in the livestock fur business, and the livestock business in the entire land of Henan has been done by you, and the money you make is only enough for you for several lifetimes, right?" ”

Zhao Junsheng hurriedly said: "Can't I borrow, can't I borrow?" However, please don't spread the word to the lady, it's not good to cause others to blush! ”

"My grandfather told you just now, I will go back to Shanwu County tomorrow, and when the time comes, you will bring this gold with me and send it to my home in Shanwu County, and I will leave first!"

Zhao Junsheng sighed and shook his head when he saw Wan Yutong's distant back, and walked in the direction of Yuanmen.

Back at the baggage camp, Zhao Junsheng summoned several battalion leaders and acting deputy battalion leaders to discuss the matter of escorting grain and grass, and after the discussion, let everyone go and prepare for their own departure, and prepare to leave early tomorrow morning.

As soon as the gang left, Mulan walked into the tent with a bow and arrows on her back and shouted, "Brother Junsheng, I'm here!" ”

Zhao Junsheng turned around and saw that it was Mulan, and said in surprise: "Hey, Mulan, why are you free to come here today?" Don't you practice? ”

"The brothers have been practicing for more than a month and have never rested, and I gave them a day off! I want to go out hunting, do you go? ”

It's rare to have time to get along with Mulan alone, where is Zhao Junsheng willing to let go of this opportunity, even if he is busy, he has to squeeze out time, he hurriedly said: "Of course go, you wait for me, I'll clean up and leave!" ”

After packing up, Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan ran out of the camp on a horse, thinking about the direction of the west and galloping away.

The ground was icy and a little slippery, and the horse didn't dare to run too fast, so Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan rode their horses and stopped and stopped, talking while looking for prey.

In this weather, many animals and birds come out to feed, and the footprints and paw prints of many animals and birds can be seen on the snow of the snowfield.

"Look, there seem to be footprints there, it should be birds, let's go over and have a look!" Hua Mulan said and followed the footprints of the snow mountain to find it, and Zhao Junsheng also rode a horse to follow.

After searching for a few minutes, the two saw a pheasant with colored neck feathers foraging in the snow behind a small mound, and its mouth was still making a cry from time to time.

"Shhhh

The war horse where Mulan was sitting suddenly snorted, which immediately alarmed the pheasant that was foraging, and the pheasant spread its wings and flew up.

Hua Mulan didn't hesitate any longer, quickly took the arrow and pulled the bow, and with a "whoosh", the arrow shot out, and the pheasant that had already flown up a few feet high was hit by an arrow, and fell straight from the air and fell into the snow with a "bang" sound.

"Hah, shot!" Zhao Junsheng laughed happily and hit the horse and leaned over to pick up the pheasant, and lifted it in his hand: "Hey, it's quite strong, almost two catties in weight!" ”

"Shhhhhhhh

"Is there prey again?" Zhao Junsheng immediately shut up and thought to himself, but saw Mulan jumping off the horse and gesturing to him eagerly.

Zhao Junsheng looked in the direction of her gesturing, his face suddenly changed, and he gasped, only to see a group of barbarian cavalry appear two hundred meters away, looking at the clothes of these people, it was obvious that they were not Northern Wei cavalry, but Rouran people!
