Amid the laughter and striking, a pot of porridge was ready, and the fire was extinguished and the furnace was sealed. The sound of yelling sounds immediately stopped. The executives of various departments in the camp immediately lined up in front of the pot, preparing to receive Laba porridge, and the officers and soldiers of each battalion were also lined up in the open space on the side of the road.

"Today's Laba Festival, Your Majesty will give you porridge!" After the lineup was completed, the chief commander of the guard Ni Liang stepped forward to salute His Majesty and turned around and said.

"Thank you for your majesty and salute!" The executive raised his hand and saluted.

"Your Majesty is mighty, Your Majesty is mighty, Your Majesty is mighty..." The soldiers immediately stood up and saluted, shouting loudly.

"After a moment!" Zhao Bing raised his hand to return the greeting, "Today's festival, the generals of the army can only spend with me on the battlefield outside Yangzhou City, and cannot share it with their families. I will thank you!" He stood attentively and saluted again.

"Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and return to my hometown!" The generals of the army immediately responded in unison.

"Haha, I have cooked a few pots of porridge today and shared it with the army. Unfortunately, I am single and weak and hard to control myself. I can only express my feelings. Please don't be surprised!" Zhao Bing put away his stern face at this time, knocked on the edge of the pot with a long spoon and smiled.

"..." The executives of the departments lined up in front were stunned after hearing this. Why didn't the little emperor follow the routine and prevent them from responding, and it was a cold moment.

"Haha, don't stare at me. Come and get the porridge, otherwise it will be cold. Those who are far away will be the first to lead the way, and those who are near the way will be the next to lead the way!" Zhao Bing succeeded with his prank and said with a laugh.

"The First Regiment of the Fourth Brigade of the Imperial Guardian Army, thank you for the porridge!" The executives lined up looked at each other, immediately turned the horizontal line into a column, and adjusted their positions. The ranks stood attentively and saluted.

"Run quickly, otherwise it will become ice porridge!" Zhao Bing returned the favor, and his guard handed over a food box, with a pottery container in the middle and an insulation layer woven with puff sticks on the outside, which became an ancient insulation box. Naturally, the effect was not as good as that of a modern insulation bucket. Zhao Bing reminded him while using a changed scoop of porridge.

"How can you eat just such a little porridge? It's just a way to make it look like you!" Zhang Ting said disdainfully after seeing it.

"The Zuo Shi's words are not bad. He is learning the allusion that Huo Qubing, the general of the Han cavalry, poured wine into the spring and drank with the crowd to encourage morale and bribe the military. Although this move seems simple, it is the most convincing to win the hearts of the people." Ma Shaoyan said, and he thought he had seen through his intentions. When Huo Qubing defeated the Huns, Emperor Wu gave him a jar of imperial wine to reward the soldiers who were worthy of wine. There were few wines and many people. Huo Qubing poured wine into the spring and drank with the crowd. The spring was called Jiuquan, which has been passed down through the ages. What made him feel sad was that the master in his city was full of granaries in the mansion, but he refused to give the slightest reward to the generals, let alone the soldiers and civilians below.

"The Second Regiment of the Fourth Brigade of the Imperial Guardian Army, thank Your Majesty for giving the porridge!" The second person stepped forward and still saluted and received the porridge.

"The Third Regiment of the Fourth Brigade of the Imperial Guardian Army, thank Your Majesty for giving the porridge!"

"The 4th Brigade of the Imperial Front Guards, thank you for the porridge!"

"The First Regiment of the Fifth Brigade of the Imperial Guardian Army, please give me porridge!"

...

"The First Regiment of the First Land Battle Brigade of the First Navy Division, thank Your Majesty for giving the porridge!"

"No need to sign up one by one. It's long-lasting and the porridge is cold. Don't I know you?" Each department reported numbers one by one to receive the porridge. Zhao Bing suddenly realized something and waved his hand to urge him. The people behind seemed to understand something. They looked at the Mongol Yuan envoy who looked at the "watching the ceremony". As expected, they no longer reported the number. They just saluted and thanked him. They left immediately after receiving the porridge.

"He is very vigilant, not as rough and unrestrained as he seems, and he already realizes that we may have a glimpse of the military situation!" Zhang Ting gave Ma Shao a wink and said softly. At first, he saw the young emperor of the Southern Dynasty playing and making fun of the army, and was not as respected as the superior. In order to show his kindness, he summoned the army to give porridge, but did not avoid him. He accidentally leaked the military aircraft, and he couldn't help but look down on it. However, he soon discovered the loopholes and remedies them in time, which made his cognition change again.

"Well, it's a pity that it's too late." Ma Shao nodded and replied in a low voice, "He gave porridge in the regiment. As far as I know, his regiment has about a thousand people, and each division has about ten thousand people. Judging from the number of people in the following line, there are 100,000 soldiers!"

"The Jiangnan court had a total of 300,000 imperial guards, and Jiangdong stationed only more than 100,000 troops, and was responsible for defending the river defense and protecting the capital. This time, there were 100,000 troops crossing the river, and all the troops in Jiangdong were diverted." Zhang Tingyan said.

"Yes, I suspect that the reinforcements of the Shushu Army have not arrived for a long time, but ordered us to defend Yangzhou at all costs, and to take advantage of the empty force to attack Jiangdong." Ma Shao realized this time.

"Yes, the general of Shu advances slowly. Maybe he is worried that the army and horses in Jiangdong are strong, so he dare not act rashly. If he can inform the general of Shu about this situation in time, he can dispel his concerns and cross the river boldly. In this way, the siege of Yangzhou can be resolved!" Zhang Ting also thought it was authentic. However, the Song army had already drained the Yangzhou city siege and could not convey information to each other at all, so it would be useless to tell him.

"Enter Ma, your Majesty invites two envoys to enter the tent to use porridge!" While the two of them whispered, a little yellow gate came to the forefront and said.

"Thank you for your porridge!" Ma Shao then found that several large pots of porridge had basically been divided. Except for the soldiers who were staying behind to guard the tent, the rest had dispersed. He quickly thanked him and followed him in the tent.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!" Ma Shao entered the imperial tent, stepped forward to greet him, and secretly saw that the arrangement of the large tent was very simple, with nothing but the necessary tables. In the tent, except for a few small yellow gates, only the officer who had just burned the fire stood behind the emperor. The little emperor was still wearing military uniforms, but he looked a little newer than what he had just seen.

"Don't give me a gift, give me a seat!" Zhao Bing raised his hand and said casually.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The little yellow gate set up a table at the emperor's head, letting the two of them sit, putting on the dishes, and then served a bowl of Laba porridge and a few side dishes. The dishes were very ordinary and not exquisite.

Then the tent fell into silence. The little emperor didn't ask, and Ma Shao didn't dare to say much. He looked up and saw that he was just eating attentively. The dishes were no different from them, but the food was very delicious and he didn't look straight. But they had something to do, so they had no intention of eating. They drank porridge in one bite, thinking about what the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty wanted to do, and were worried about detaining them in the Song camp. This kind of thing had happened before.

"Why is it not to the taste?" Just as the two of them were thinking about it, Zhao Bing was actually paying attention to the two of them secretly. Seeing that they looked unstable, they were eating like chewing wax, and they were secretly amused. But after eating the porridge in the bowl and sweeping away the dishes, they took the silk parfait handed over by Xiaohuangmen and asked.

"It's okay, it's okay, I've just used food in the next life and I can't eat it anymore!" Ma Shao looked at the imperial desk and the bowl was clean, but he had half left, and quickly bowed and explained.

"Oh, it seems that the envoy Ma has never been hungry. But I am still worried about food and always worried that I will go hungry one day. It really makes you laugh." Zhao Bing smiled mockingly.

"This..." Ma Shao was a little amused and laughed at the hearing. He looked at the food on the table and didn't know if it was better to eat it or not.

"Since the envoy Ma is full and the gift has been delivered, then go back to the city to report!" Zhao Bing stood up and wanted to walk.

"Your Majesty... Please stay!" Ma Shao was anxious when he heard this. He risked his life to go deep into the enemy camp to send a heavy gift. After finally meeting the main owner, he gave it away with just a bowl of porridge. This was nothing more than the Zheng Tanhua who scolded him when he met. The little bit of affection he had just developed for him was immediately gone.

"What else?" Zhao Bing stopped and turned his face and asked.

"Your Majesty is kind and the people in Yangzhou City are innocent. If you can withdraw your troops as soon as possible, you will always be grateful to your Majesty for your kindness!" Ma Shao bowed deeply.

"Retreat troops?! The people of the two Huai Rivers live in dire straits and fire. I used a large army to attack the northern expedition to relieve the suffering of all people. Why don't the envoys offer the city to surrender? This not only saves the soldiers, but also saves the people from water and fire. This is a great kindness, and I will naturally not treat the envoys unfairly." Zhao Bing raised his eyebrows and turned around and sat down.

"Your Majesty is joking. Although I am not talented, I also understand the principle of eating the king's fortune and loyalty. I am an official of the Yuan Dynasty and will not betray the Lord!" Ma Shao is a clean and honest person. He has already felt that he has lost all his face when he comes to beg for peace. But the other party persuades him to surrender. Although he suppresses his anger, he also said with an angry face, "Your Majesty, God has the virtue of living a life. The two countries have previously agreed to use the river as the boundary and not disturb each other, but Your Majesty has committed the territory for no reason and slaughtered the soldiers and civilians of our dynasty for no reason. This is unrighteous. What's the fault of the people of Yangzhou? Now Your Majesty has attacked the city one after another, and has suffered a lot of casualties and destroyed the houses. This is unkind..." Seeing that the little emperor sat down again, Ma Shao felt that it was his words that moved him, so he stood up and prepared to persuade him with righteousness.

"Is it Ma's envoy joking?" Zhao Bing felt that he dared not speak out, and felt as if he had taken advantage of him, but he changed his face and sneered, "I won't understand the principle of raising 10,000 soldiers to consume gold every day! I have raised tens of thousands of soldiers to fight the Northern Expedition, and more than ten battles of all sizes, and have lost soldiers and generals, and consumed countless money and food. Just because of the light words "benevolence" by Ma's envoy, he returned to nothing. Is there such a reason in the world?"

"When you leave the city, the King of Zhennan said that as long as Your Majesty is willing to withdraw the king's army, he will do his best to meet his requirements!" Zhang Ting was about to say a few words and secretly blamed Ma Shao for being pedantic. He thought to himself that there were no such great righteousness in this world. The Great Yuan fought in all directions, captured cities and plundered the land, and killed tens of millions of people. In theory, not only the two Huai Rivers, but also the Central Plains are the homelands of the Song Dynasty. Wouldn't you feel uncomfortable talking about great righteousness? And he also listened to the words of the young emperor and understood his thoughts, so he tentatively said.
