Wan Dugui yelled immediately: "Order the first and third buildings to gather everyone, take the horses to meet the convoy, and use the horses to bring the food back!"

Chapter 155 Picked up a Taoist priest

Panting heavily, Zhao Junsheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, stepped on the thick snow and chanted along with everyone.

At this time, the soldiers in front stopped, and everyone put down the wooden poles they were carrying. Zhao Junsheng straightened his waist and asked loudly, "What happened ahead? Why did you stop?"

The team officer at the front stepped on the snow and came over and clasped his fists and reported: "Captain, there is a person buried in the snow ahead, almost frozen, but there is still a trace of breath!"

"Let's go and have a look!" Zhao Junsheng waved and walked forward as soon as he heard it.

When he came to the front of the team, Zhao Junsheng saw a person lying in the snow, and there was a snow pit beside him. This person should have been picked out of the snow pit by the soldiers.

Zhao Junsheng squatted down next to this person, and found that this person looked familiar. When he saw that this person was wearing a Taoist robe, he immediately remembered that this person was the apprentice of the celestial master Kou Qianzhi he met in the tavern that day. His name was Dongfang Chen, courtesy name Menglong, Taoist name Yuchan.

Zhao Junsheng reached out and touched Dongfang Chen's carotid artery, he still had a weak pulse, and immediately called the soldiers beside him to spread an oilcloth on the snow, put Dongfang Chen on the oilcloth, and told the soldiers to take off Dongfang Chen's upper body clothes Down.

He took off the sheepskin gloves, and rubbed a handful of snow on Dongfang Chen's chest until it melted. The skin on Dongfang Chen's chest turned red and purple, and the melted snow and ice rose on his chest. the heat.

Dongfang Chen, who had his eyes and mouth tightly closed, suddenly opened his mouth and took a deep breath, his chest began to heave violently, and his eyes slowly opened.

The soldiers nearby were surprised for a while, and someone shouted: "It's saved, it's saved!"

Zhao Junsheng greeted immediately: "Come here, put clothes on him!"

Guo Yi stepped forward to put clothes on Dongfang Chen, but Dongfang Chen had only one underwear and a Taoist robe on him, so Zhao Junsheng had to take off his cloak and put it on Dongfang Chen.

Dongfang Chen was already awake at this time, looked left and right, sized up Zhao Junsheng and his soldiers, and quickly understood the situation. With Guo Yi's support, he struggled to get up and saluted Zhao Junsheng: "Pimp Dao thought I will definitely go to see Tianzun this time, but I was rescued by the captain when I didn't want to, it's a life-saving grace, I will never forget it!"

Zhao Junsheng stretched out his hand to stop him: "You are welcome, Daoist Yuchan. This place is more than ten miles away from the Jinling Camp. It is not a place to talk. Let's go back to the Jinling Camp first!"

"Thank you Captain, it's just that Pindao is an outsider, it seems a little inappropriate to go to the barracks!"

"It's okay, it's okay, we have a separate camp for the supply soldiers, no one will arrest you as a spy, and I have no taboos, you don't need to worry about it! Besides, you need to recuperate now, otherwise it will easily leave the root of the disease!"

Dongfang Chen hesitated for a moment, and called Jishou: "Then bother the captain!"

Zhao Junsheng greeted Li Bao: "Send two people to make a stretcher to carry Daoist Yu Chan to the Jinling camp together, and after walking for a while, find two people to carry it in rotation!"

"Yes, Captain!"

After the stretcher was finished, Dongfang Chen lay on the stretcher with a sigh, covered with Zhao Junsheng's mink cloak, Zhao Junsheng took out a cake from his arms and stuffed it in Dongfang Chen's hand: "You need heat on your body, Let’s eat a pancake first to cushion our stomach.”

Zhao Junsheng turned around and waved to everyone: "The whole army keeps going!"

As Zhao Junsheng shouted, the team moved slowly, and the passionate chant sounded again.

Dongfang Chen looked at the back of Zhao Junsheng who was trekking hard on the thick snow, and heard him shouting non-stop: "Keep working harder, it's only a dozen miles away from Jinling Camp, and it will pass soon after clenching your teeth." "Encourage the soldiers.

A gleam of light flashed across Dongfang Chen's eyes.

After walking seven or eight times with difficulty, the soldiers at the front of the team found a large number of soldiers and horses in front of them, and those soldiers were walking towards this side with their horses stepping on the thick snow.

"We are here, we are here..." The soldiers carrying the food suddenly cheered, and everyone's speed suddenly increased again.

Zhao Junsheng immediately handed over the wooden pole on his shoulders to

Next to a vigilant guard, he walked forward quickly out of breath.

The leader of the first building of the garrison in Huaishuo Town, Monalou Jin, led the team. He led his horse and greeted Zhao Junsheng from a long distance, "Captain Zhao, the commander asked me to bring people to meet you. Tell your soldiers to put down all the food, and leave the rest to us!"

Zhao Junsheng stepped forward and clasped his fists: "In this way, there will be the owner of Laomonalou!"

Monalou reached out and patted Zhao Junsheng's shoulder heavily: "If you don't mind, I'll call you Brother Zhao, you are good, and your soldiers are also good, such a strong wind The snow looks daunting, but you can bring the food back, I, Monalujin, never obey others, today I will obey you, let's have a drink together when we have time!"

"Good talk, good talk!"

Behind the troops brought by Monalujin, Gao Xiu and Gao Xu also came up with the troops from the Second Battalion of the Baggage Battalion who stayed behind.

Zhao Junsheng greeted the soldiers under his command: "Let's keep fifty bags of food for ourselves, and the rest will be carried away by the brothers in the garrison!"

In this era of low productivity, Zhao Junsheng has really seen what is the strength of a large number of people. After the arrival of the garrison army and the second battalion of supplies, everyone worked together, and those who could be carried by horses were carried by horses, and by horses. When they couldn't get down, the soldiers took turns carrying them away, and a road was forced out of the thick snow-covered ground.

When Zhao Junsheng arrived at the camp with the soldiers and strong men of the first battalion, he was close to collapse

Wan Dugui was waiting at the gate of the camp, the housekeeper Zhao Junsheng walked over with difficulty with his spears and soldiers, and immediately went up to meet him.

Zhao Junsheng leaned on his long spear and bowed down on one knee: "I report to the military lord, the escort of the food and grass has been delayed for a while, please the military lord punish the crime!"

"You sent Gao Xiu back to report the truth in time, and you donated the food left by the supply camp. You didn't starve the soldiers of the garrison army, and prevented a riot from happening. Not only was you innocent, but you also made merit. Reward you!"

Wan Dugui helped Zhao Junsheng up with a smile, and said: "You take the soldiers of the supply battalion and these strong men back to the camp to rest and eat, and I will send someone over to call you to talk later!"

"Yes, Lord!"

He led the soldiers and the strong men back to the camp. Although he was very tired, Zhao Junsheng still insisted on ordering the cooks left behind in the supply camp to boil hot water and cook food to reward the soldiers of the first battalion and the strong men recruited. He led the soldiers to carry a few boxes of copper coins to pay the strong men, fulfilling their promise.

A fire had already been lit in the dental tent. Zhao Junsheng sat by the fire with a ponytail, and took off his muddy leather boots and wet socks.

"Thanks for wearing such a pair of leather boots, otherwise this trip would have been really painful!" Zhao Junsheng sighed. It's deerskin, with sheep's wool inside. In order to increase its waterproof function, two layers of oilcloth are added between the cowhide and deerskin. The wet socks are purely sweaty from the soles of the feet.

A pair of stinky feet were roasting on the fire, constantly emitting heat, and the shoes and socks placed next to them were also steaming hot.

Guo Yi walked in and reported: "Master, that bull-nosed Taoist priest wants to see you!"

"How did you say it? You must be polite when addressing others in the future!" Zhao Junsheng scolded, and immediately stood up: "I also have something to ask him, please invite him in!"

Chapter 156

(ps: Let me tell you, the surnames of Pingyang King and Beiping King in the previous article were wrong. Their surnames recorded in the history books are Changsun, and their names are Changsun Han and Changsun Song respectively. This is actually Emperor Xiaowen (Tuoba Hong) in Taiping In He 19th year (495 A.D.), the Chinese surname recorded after the Sinicization of the Xianbei surname was ordered, and there were still nearly 60 years before that. Before the Xianbei surname was changed to the Han surname, their Xianbei surname was Baba, not Tuo Therefore, the original names of King Pingyang and King Beiping should be Babahan and Babasong respectively, and they are corrected here! But in fact, the Baba family is also from the Tuoba family. The two are originally a family, and they are called Tuoba. John and Tuoba Song are also right, readers who have doubts can go to look up the information)

Dongfang Chen was still trembling when he walked into the dental tent, his face was very pale, but it was much better than when he was revived.

Under Zhao Junsheng's instructions, Guo Yi reluctantly served a bowl of hot porridge to Dongfang Chen. Dongfang Chen took the pottery bowl and smiled at him. let out a groan of comfort.

Zhao Junsheng poked the charcoal fire with an iron poker and asked, "Why did the Taoist priest come to Jinling Camp, and why was he buried in the snow near here?"

"Pindao was about to tell the captain about this matter. Pindao came out from the Xuandu altar in Pingcheng for traveling, and he had no definite destination. After parting with the captain that day, he rode a donkey and came towards Jinling. Along the way Although the wind and snow were raging, Pindao was in good health and did not encounter any danger. Early this morning, as he was about to arrive at Jinling, a sharp arrow shot from the left side. The arrow missed Pindao, but hit The donkey was hit by the donkey. The donkey suffered pain and bumped and knocked Pindao to the ground. Although Pindao was not shot by the sharp arrow, he fell to the ground and passed out. Fortunately, there was snow on the ground to cushion him. If not, Pindao would have fallen on the spot die!"

Zhao Junsheng touched his chin: "So someone set up an ambush, and the Taoist priest was caught in an ambush? I wonder if anyone chased and killed the Taoist priest along the way?"

Dongfang Chen shook his head: "No one has ever chased and killed Pindao! Pindao has been thinking about this issue on the way just now. The person who set up the ambush may not be targeting Pindao, but Pindao just entered the ambush point by mistake and was shot dead. !"

"The Daoist made a good guess. The person who set up the ambush was targeting Captain Ben. He didn't want any news related to Captain Ben to reach the Jinling camp. The other party should be based on the principle of killing mistakes and not letting them go. Daoist That's why he was murdered!"

Dongfang Chen finished his last sip of millet porridge and looked at Zhao Junsheng: "It seems that the captain has offended a very serious person, and the other party wants to kill the captain. I don't know who this person is?"

Zhao Junsheng shook his head, took a sip of hot tea and said, "In the eyes of those Xianbei dignitaries, what does the fate of us little people matter? They can be crushed to death if they want to, and they won't feel any psychological guilt! The Taoist priest is out alone, this time it is safe and sound, so there is no need to know who the other party is, so as not to bring the Taoist priest a fatal disaster!"
