Chapter 173
Sorry for being late today, there will be another chapter later

Outside, Liang Hongyu was walking around with a small wooden knife, looking valiant.

The messengers knew that she was almost equal to Boss Zhao's child, so they all flattered and said, "Young general is mighty, he is so respectable at such a young age, and his future is boundless."

Children are very good at accepting praise and using it as an example. From then on, Liang Hongyu felt that the responsibility was heavy, so she took a wooden knife to expand the patrol area and looked around.

"Who!"

Now that the sky was getting dark, Liang Hongyu found a little girl who was only two years older than her, looking ashamed, so she held up a wooden knife and said, "Are you a spy, come and talk."

No one cared about the little girl, and the police officers were a little confused, thinking that Xiao Yu'er hadn't learned anything else, but she had learned a lot about Boss Zhao's idea of ​​"there are always troublesome people who want to harm me".

The little girl carrying some wild vegetables came over anyway, looked curiously at Liang Hongyu, and at the other guards, and asked curiously, "Are you all official servants?"

"Yes, who are you? Why are you walking now when curfew is about to begin?"

Liang Hongyu put the small wooden knife on the little girl's neck and said politely.

The little girl was also a child at heart, carelessly raised her hand to touch Liang Hongyu's furry tiger hat and said, "You look like a tiger skin, you should be very warm?"

Liang Hongyu thus forgot her own nature as a policeman, put the small wooden knife on the ground, took off the tiger hat and handed it to the little girl: "It's real tiger skin, my mother gave it to me, to ward off evil spirits, let you see it."

"It's really expensive."

The little girl touched it around, and even tried it on herself. It felt really comfortable.In the end, he took it off and returned it to Liang Hongyu.

A policeman next to him rolled his eyes, "Little General, aren't you looking for the origin?"

Only then did Liang Hongyu remember, she picked up the wooden knife and asked, "Tell me quickly, Miss Sister, why are you alone at this moment when the curfew is about to be curfew? Who are you?"

"I'm Ling'er, I don't have a last name, I'm from Wangjia Village, Shidai County."

She said, "Anyway, there is going to be a war now, and we can't enter the city. The curfew doesn't matter. You are a wealthy family. You don't understand. Every time like this will be very hard. My mother is gone, and I was expelled from Wangjiacun. It will be miserable if no one else takes care of it in winter. Since there are few people in the field now, I come to collect more supplies to prepare, and sometimes I can meet dead small animal furs, which can be used to make winter clothes.”

"You are so weak, what if you are taken away by wild wolves?" Liang Hongyu asked cautiously.

"Anyway... we haven't encountered it yet." Ling'er said, "If we are not prepared now, we will not be able to enter the city, and we will freeze to death soon. I heard experienced old people say that this winter will be very cold."

"Give you."

Liang Hongyu looked like a prodigal son, so she simply took off the tiger head hat and gave it to her.

Ling'er accepted Liang Hongyu's gift without thanking her profusely. She took a deep look at Liang Hongyu and planned to leave.

"Wait, doll."

Zhao Cheng came out of the tent at this time, and was always affected by various factors and pressures, which made Zhao Cheng, who had poor sleep in his previous life, unable to sleep either.

After calling the little girl over, Zhao Cheng hesitated, "Linger, let me ask you, are you familiar with this area?"

"I'm familiar with it. As long as the season is right, I know where to find bird nests. I am also very familiar with Taiping County next door. I often go to pick things up." Linger said.

"In that case, you can just follow me." Zhao Cheng made a decision.

"I don't want to follow you." Ling'er also made a decision, "I heard from some old people that the officials would catch people like Ling'er and sell them into brothels. I'm going to dig out the bird's nest."

"How about I give you five copper coins every day?" Zhao Cheng began to confuse the girl, "After the mission of this official trip is over, I will give you another twenty copper coins as a reward at one time. At that time, do you want to keep you as you like?"

"My lord, promise?" She hesitated.

"My master is very powerful, he treats people well." Liang Hongyu added.

A deal was reached on this, based on the mentality of a child, based on trust in Liang Hongyu, Ling'er decided to trust them once.

After passing by, Zhao Cheng leaned closer to Chen Hao and said in a low voice, "Take care of this little girl, and pay attention to her every move."

Chen Hao was a little surprised, and lowered his voice: "Could it be that your lord suspects fraud?"

"Of course I doubt it, but you can't act recklessly." Zhao Cheng said, "But there is no harm in being cautious. If you find something abnormal, don't expose it. Tell me immediately. This may be an opportunity to 'do the trick'."

Chen Hao was depressed for a while but had no choice but to nod.This little girl who is harmless to humans and animals is very sympathetic, the problem is that Boss Zhao is just like this.

"What if nothing unusual?" Chen Hao asked again.

"Of course it's better." Zhao Cheng chuckled, "It's not bad to have multiple guides in unfamiliar areas, I can afford the money."

……

The Xiang army camp that followed like a shadow was deployed not far away, and it could be seen with the eyes.They also need trimming.

He Zhi, Cai Wenji, Qin Ming and the others were annoyed by being dragged around by Zhao Cheng's team all night, but they had no choice but to bite them down and figure out Zhao Cheng's movements and goals.

Now, Zhao Cheng's team is repairing not far away, and there is actually a magical and light tent.He Zhi and the others were even more annoyed by this, and believed that Zhao Cheng had already prepared and plotted, otherwise they would not be able to prepare these things temporarily. For example, the Ministry of Qin and Ming did not prepare.

"Bring the magistrate of Shidai County here."

He Zhi said coldly with his hands behind his back.Immediately a soldier rushed to the horse.

The Xiang army is also an infantry, but just like in some later generations, every leader had a special car. Now there are more than ten horses in the army, which are dedicated to officers.

The civil servants of the Song Dynasty were relatively powerful and did not like to see the army at all. However, I heard that Cai You's daughter and He Zhi, the Jiangdong Commander-in-Chief, signed a letter to accompany the army. The somewhat elderly Wu Zhixiang, the magistrate of the county, came quickly and brought a large number of thieves. Materials came to express condolences.In addition, there were medicinal materials for foot soaking, and several doctors were captured to follow.

For this reason, the sergeants drank and ate meat, while He Zhi, Cai Wenji, Qin Ming and others soaked their feet in wooden barrels with medicinal herbs to relieve fatigue, and there was also a massage service provided by the doctor.

The specifications are a bit exaggerated, but this is the situation in the Song Dynasty. Even the imperial army adopted a food system. For example, when the army was deployed to Shidai County, Shidai County was responsible for their food and medical services.

It will be much better under normal conditions, but now that we have officially entered a state of war, we will rely more on the army.

Taking the mentality of the magistrates as an example, they are afraid of death at this time. In theory, no place is safe except the city. Therefore, since the Battle of Xishan, all the counties in Chizhou have written letters with tears, suggesting that "the army should be stationed in our country." Only counties are useful."

However, Zhao Cheng threw all these suggestions, which seemed to be fighting for food, into the trash can, because Zhao Cheng was in charge of commanding Chizhou's military forces at that time.

Under such circumstances, the army couldn't even ask for it. Now, in addition to the dude He Zhi and Cai Wenji, there is also an army, and Wu Zhixiang will try his best to curry favor.

While accompanying Cai Wenji and several nobles, Wu Zhixiang, the county magistrate, looked at Zhao Cheng's team in the distance with an unusually small number of people, and asked hesitantly: "What's going on with them? Do you want to arrange a meal?"

Speaking of this, I became angry, but it was not convenient for Cai Wenji and Qin Ming to interrupt.

He Zhi said coldly, "That's not the army, and has nothing to do with the suppression of bandits. This officer is not responsible for their life, death and welfare."

Wu Zhixiang was taken aback, but the implication was that they were not ordinary people, and they should know each other?So I asked one more question out of caution: "Really don't care? Who are they?"

He Zhi said calmly, "The people from Guichi County, led by Zhao Cheng, threatened to go out on business, but who knows what they are actually going to do."

"The newly promoted Zhao Cheng?"

Wu Zhixiang's mind also began to move.Supplies are indeed very tight, especially when a large number of refugees gather outside the city when the future situation is not clear.

In theory, the army has to take care of the food here, but Shidai County has no such obligation for the police from Guichi County.And seeing what He Zhi meant, he deliberately wanted to give people in Guichi County shoes to wear, so Wu Zhixiang also knew what to do.

"Also, don't listen to rumors and be careful about him. No one knows what he is thinking. There are rumors that he has something to do with bandits." He Zhi seemed to be pointing out something.

Wu Zhixiang was also surprised when he heard this...

Dry food happens to be a big problem for Zhao Cheng's department now. When he left, he was circuitous and arbitrary, and he was not prepared for it at all.

I originally hoped to find other people to buy some on the way to get through, after all, there are few people and it is easy to solve.It's a pity that no one has been encountered in the current situation.

Looking at the people in the Xiangjun Department drinking and eating meat from a distance, it's not a taste to have a pedicure massage.This affects morale somewhat.

Now that the sky was getting dark, Zhao Cheng waited in person on the official road. When he saw the torches of a group of people moving, he knew that people from Shidai County had come.

"Wuzhi County, please stay."

Zhao Cheng blocked the way after straightening his official robes.

Knowing that he would come to ask for help, Wu Zhixiang was a little proud, and said with a disdainful expression, "Why did Mr. Zhao come to this county?"

"The lower official is in a hurry to go out on business, and I don't have time to prepare. I want to borrow some dry food from your county to satisfy my hunger?" Zhao Cheng clasped his fists and said.

The police officers in Shidai County looked at each other. Isn't it rumored that Mr. Zhao is an unusually powerful official?Now he is begging for help in a low voice.

Wu Zhixiang did not answer, waved his sleeves and continued walking.

"My lord, stay here, or buy it?" Zhao Cheng frowned.

Wu Zhixiang said: "In the extraordinary period, my county is more nervous than you, and this county has no obligation to you. I'm sorry, just like when this county wrote a military request document, how did you reply, Mr. Zhao? You replied, 'My officer There is no obligation to send troops for a certain county, the responsibility is to win the entire Chizhou campaign'."

This is really Zhao Cheng's reply at that time. The format of the reply is the same for each county, and all of them are copied and posted uniformly.

So Zhao Cheng was a little embarrassed, "This... the lower official was a little too aggressive at the time, but he did have difficulties. Now that I need dry food when I go out on business, please be accommodating, Mr. Wu?"

"Forgive me, Mr. Zhao. This county's approach is a bit extreme, but there are indeed difficulties. In addition, this county is not obliged to solve the problem of food for the official team in Guichi County. The road is not far away, and people will not die of hunger. You might as well send it back to the state city and get Cai Master Guan Fang, come here to talk to me again."

After Wu Zhixiang finished speaking, he waved his sleeves, "By the way, this county does not blame you for the large number of Guichi County troops entering our county to affect government affairs. It is already saving face for you..."

"Balm! Get out!"

Zhao Cheng impatiently took off a shoe and threw it over, beating Old Wu away.

Since good words and persuasion are useless, there is no need to be groveling.As he said, there was no need to hit him with bricks, he just threw a shoe, which already gave him face.

"Damn villain, rogue, hateful, hateful, you waited until after the war period to settle accounts with you."

Wu Zhixiang ran away cursing.
