Chapter Intention to befriend
Before the morning of Yin, the noise of cars and horses had already been heard in the camp. Zhao Bing was awakened from his deep sleep and realized that he might have overslept. The candle on the bedside table was blown out by the guards. He reached out to fumble on the desk to try to find the fire note, but the guard on duty heard the noise and hurriedly took the candlestick into the dormitory.
"I'm ready to leave outside, but I haven't heard the trumpet, why don't I wake me up?" Zhao Bing said half-reproaching and half-reproaching.
"Your Majesty, the commander said that Your Majesty has slept late and wants His Majesty to sleep for a while, but there is no order to gather for trumpets. However, the people from the Transport Department were still shocked by Your Majesty!" The guard explained.
"Oh, don't delay your trip because of my reasons. I tell you that the commander must act according to the rules and do not commit any more!" Zhao Bing said while wearing clothes.
"Yes!" the guard agreed, "The guy in the Transport Department is really irrelevant. The commander asked them to delay for half an hour, but he refused no matter what!"
"Don't be honest, they have their own difficulties. There is a time limit for delivery of supplies. If they miss the deadline, they will be punished. Moreover, the food and grass they carry are all fixed, and they will be hungry if they delay the day on the way." Zhao Bing finished wearing it and kicked his boots to teach him a lesson.
"Yes, my subordinate was wrong!" The guard quickly lowered his head and said, "I also saw that there was not much rice in their pot. I'm afraid that the food would be gone if they couldn't get to the place!"
"Divid them some food and jerky from our baggage. You can't watch them hungry even if you walk together!" Zhao Bing sighed softly.
"Your Majesty, this..." The guard said in embarrassment.
"They are both my people and are working for the country, but I have asked them to deliver supplies before they are hungry. I am my fault. Whoever says they don't agree, I will ask them to give it from my quota!" Zhao Bing said angrily when he saw him hesitating, "In addition, let the fire army cook more wind-relieving soup and send it together!"
"I will go after I have finished washing up!" The guard did not dare to talk more and said hurriedly.
"I have my hands and feet, you can go and pass the message first!" Zhao Bing snorted.
"Yes!" Seeing that the emperor was unhappy, the guards dared not say more, so they immediately went out to pass the imperial edict.
Zhao Bing washed his hands and faces with the water in the basin, combed his hair randomly, and got out of the car neatly. He knew that if he was slower, it would be delayed. It would take time to recover after the van was dismantled, and no one would dare to do it if he didn't come out. Seeing that someone was waiting outside the car, Zhao Bing, who felt that he was getting up late, hurried away and found his own team.
There was already a cleanup there, and he didn't need to worry about it at all. Zhao Bing, who was shining, greeted everyone and consciously went to the kitchen to collect breakfast with the day's watch. Because of the daytime marching, lunch was all done on the way, usually eating some dry food, and the fire army only cooked some hot soup. If you were late at night, you could only make some simple hot food.
Therefore, the fire army usually gets up early and makes some complicated meals to ensure that they can eat and drink a lot in the day. Today's breakfast is also very rich, with the meat porridge, stewed meat dishes, steamed buns, and the steamed steam filled the aroma of the meal, which made Zhao Bing swallow a few saliva.
"The Yellow Team..."
"Chief Hu, is there anything wrong?" Hu Decai was originally a veteran of the General's Mansion, but later transferred to the Eighth Army, but when he was conquering Xiangfan, he almost mutinyed to protect the lords. Out of love, Zhao Bing transferred him back to the front guard's baggage brigade transportation regiment as the deputy commander to be a full-time "driver". The troops who traveled to protect the lords this time have decreased several times. He insisted on accompanying him, so he also took charge of the baggage. Seeing that he winked on himself, he leaned over and asked softly.
"I've been waiting for another night, so I'm hungry!" Hu Decai saw the emperor staring at the food in the pot with a sucking saliva, and complained and felt distressed. Then he opened the steamer and took two pancakes from it, took a few pieces of meat from the stew pot and handed them to His Majesty, "Eat a few bites while it's hot and cushion your stomach."
"Isn't that good..." Zhao Bing looked at the soldiers waiting for food on both sides, swallowed and said softly.
"This is my territory. I have the final say. Whoever dares to make him hungry for two days!" Hu Decai stuffed the cooked cake into the emperor's hands and looked at the others with a challenge and hummed.
"This... Commander Hu is too partial..." Who in this camp doesn't know that it is His Majesty. Not to mention eating two pieces of meat without following the rules, even if you sit there and eat it in the Ming Dynasty, who dares to say anything. But the emperor has always been easy-going, and some people can't help but tease him.
"You have no rules yet, Emperor... Team Huang is not arrogant, and you are not a big soldier who can make fun of it. If you don't want to eat, get out!" Hu Decai gave him a blank look and cursed.
"Yes, yes, we just pretend that we didn't see it!" the others immediately laughed.
"Eat while it's hot, these kids need to be cleaned up!" Hu Decai said with a smile and doting eyes.
His age can be regarded as the emperor's father. In the past, he was the same as now in the coach's mansion, the emperor who looked like the little prince, squatted on the ground, holding a bowl bigger than his face and eating a pot of rice and a pot of vegetables together. Everyone would tease him. Many years have passed, and the past situation seems to be still in front of him.
"I just pretended not to see them!" Zhao Bing turned around, took a big mouthful of the pancake, and responded with a smile.
The emperor's behavior of stealing bells made everyone laugh again, which made Hu Decai laugh. However, everyone was not disgusted with His Majesty's unruly behavior. Instead, he felt that the emperor who was arrogant and unparalleled in the eyes of ordinary people was more down-to-earth. He was also a mortal who was as hungry as everyone and liked to take advantage of it.
Unexpectedly, after Zhao Bing took a few bites, several people came over and the leader asked, "Who is General Hu?"
"Hey, why is Zhu Cang's envoy here?" Zhao Bing turned around and saw that it was Zhu Yu. He hurriedly said hello, but he had no way to salute him with one pancake in one hand.
"Captain Huang..." Zhu Yu didn't know if he wasn't full in the morning or hadn't eaten it at all. When he saw a cooked cake with meat in his hands was handed to him, he reached out and took it over without hesitation. He immediately took a bite, "Thank you, it's so good. We haven't woken up after we have been stuck in meat for many days!"
"No thanks, no thanks..." Zhao Bing was a little embarrassed and a little painful, but he couldn't get it back, so he could only laugh dryly.
"Hehe..." Liu Tong, who was secretly guarding next to him, couldn't help laughing when he saw it. He thought that the emperor had trouble this time. He pretended to be a soldier and whispered to them for a long time last night, and used various ways to slander them. This time, he wouldn't be polite to you. But although the emperor's indescribable expression was a bit exaggerated, it was also in line with his current identity. It seemed that he had to continue to cheat.
"This morning, Master Chen in your camp may have seen that we didn't have much food to carry, so he sent someone to tell me that I could turn over some of my own food to us." Zhu Yu ate the cake in three and took out a sticky note and said.
"It's so generous. I'll give you five stones in one go!" Zhao Bing glanced at him, and saw that he was still staring at the half piece of cooking cake left in his hand, and quickly stuffed it into his mouth. He said in a vague surprise, as if he had snatched his own things.
"You Shangguan don't care, why bother?" Zhu Yu might feel kind to him when he met one day, and even patted his shoulder and asked, "Who is your Commander Hu?"
"I'm still here just now?" Zhao Bing turned around and looked at it, touched and saw Hu Decai commanding several fire troops to shut down the fire and dismantle the stove, and pointed, "That's Commander Hu."
"Is Commander Hu easy to talk? Why don't you accompany me with me!" According to the current official rank of the Song Dynasty, the Commander has already reached the fifth rank, and is several levels higher than Zhu Yu, the eighth rank official, and is still a little timid and worried about being rejected.
However, Zhu Yu soon found that his worries were unnecessary. Commander Hu saw that it was brought by the "Huang Team Master". Without any nonsense, he stamped his seal and asked them to find Yu Hou who managed the supplies and food to receive the food. When Yu Hou saw them coming together, he didn't say anything more. He immediately started to weigh the fine rice on the five stones, and politely asked someone to send it to them.
The matter was completed successfully, and the two broke up and returned to the camp to set off. After Zhao Bing and the others finished their meal, everything was ready, and the two teams embarked on the journey again. Since they were together, there were only a dozen state army horses sent by the Transportation Department. Except for those responsible for fighting in front of the station, the rest were ridden by several officials. The camp took the initiative to take over the tasks of the inspection and contact teams before and after.
People intend to repair it, and Zhu Yu and the others are not unreasonable people, and they also let go of their prejudices and wariness. And these lower-level officials are the ones who are the most good at observing their words and expressions. Seeing that although Zhao Bing is just a team leader, everyone respects him and dare not offend him at all. I think he is not a descendant of the general and has a background, so he intends to make friends with him.
Seeing Zhao Bing leading the team to accompany the army, Zhu Yu also carried the horses and walked with him, talking while walking. He deliberately tried to find out his background and background, but after asking for a long time, he only found out that his ancestral home was Bianliang. After crossing the south, he settled in Lin'an. His family was engaged in marine trade business and his family was quite rich. He also participated in the provincial examination, but in order to save trouble, he took the martial arts exam and went to the Eighth Army of the Imperial Army to perform his duties.
This year, he entered Huaibei with the Eighth Army to participate in the war. Because of some minor achievements, he was selected to the Cavalry Battalion of the newly established Professional Guard Regiment of the General Administration Office. This time, the emperor issued an order to ask the Jiaofangsi to go to the front line to condolence the troops. This was the emperor's imperial order, and the General Administration Office did not dare to neglect them and ordered them to escort along the way. Therefore, this trip seemed easy, but in fact it was very troublesome.
"Council Huang, have you ever heard when the Northern Expedition will end?" After chatting for a morning, Zhu Yu did not find out his details, but his own affairs were empty, so he gave up. At noon, the team played the top and rested, and the two of them had dinner together, and he asked again.
