Before the soldiers and horses move, the food and grass will be lost first!
Fortunately, for this team of less than 300 people, it is easy to supply food and grass.
"I will wrong you brothers tonight. We will replenish the food and grass when we pass by the town tomorrow. The food and grass will be burned on the spot to avoid other troubles." Yan Zhuo said.
The captain nodded and said, "Yes, general."
One night passed.
The sky was getting closer to dawn, and a ray of morning light shone into Yan Zhuo's military tent. He had already dressed up and was sitting by the bed, wondering in his mind who was trying to kill him again and again.
If he is Yan Zhuo now, then of course there are many people who want to kill him: Gu Foying's group, Luo Ao from Baiyun Villa, Gu Zhiyuan, the internal guards of Jiangzuo Dynasty, and some killers in the world who are greedy for bounty.
But now he is Zhao Gongdao, who has just been promoted to the second rank Pinghai General. Who would want to kill Zhao Gongdao?
Yan Zhuo couldn't understand and didn't want to think about it anymore. He opened the tent door and strode out.
Outside the camp, the captain had ordered the soldiers to pack up the tent. When he saw Yan Zhuo coming out, the captain immediately went up to greet him and said, "General, we have packed up. Shall we break camp and set off now?"
"Okay, without further ado, let's set off now." Yan Zhuo nodded and asked, "How far is it from Zhenhai?"
"The current march will take two days," the captain replied.
"What about the nearest town?"
"There is a town ahead. We can get there in an hour. We can replenish food and grass in that town."
Yan Zhuo nodded and said: "Okay, let the brothers endure it for another hour. When we get to town, I will treat everyone to meat!"
After hearing the words, the captain shouted to everyone with a smile on his face: "The general said, we will be treated to meat when we get to town!"
"Okay! Thank you, General!" All the soldiers stood up and shouted, their spirits high.
When a person is in good spirits, his steps will inevitably be lighter and his walking speed will be faster.
It took Yan Zhuo and his party less than an hour to arrive at the town. When the soldiers guarding the gate saw the soldiers from the Beifu, they all hurriedly made way and did not dare to neglect: "General, I am here to welcome you. I welcome you all from afar. Welcome all military lords to me."
In this small town, the pancakes and fruits in our town are outstanding!"
The soldier guarding the city said this, and Yan Zhuo and others smelled a smell unique to the market. This smell was mixed with the aroma of steamed buns, minced meat, fresh noodle soup, and oily aroma of cooking.
, the aroma of braised sauce, of course, the rouge aroma of women shopping is also indispensable in this market.
Yan Zhuo took out a few 100-tael silver notes from his arms, handed them to the captain and said: "Cash these banknotes and ask the brothers to form a group of ten and use the money to buy some food and prepare your own dry food."
, you can buy whatever you want to eat. It’s limited to three hours, and you’ll meet at the city gate then.”
The captain took the stack of banknotes, was startled, and said, "Are these too many?"
Although this Beifu soldier is the elite of Jiangzuo, and his military salary is the most generous among all the armies in Jiangzuo, but even so, his monthly military salary for a captain is only twelve taels of silver, and these hundreds of taels of silver are really not a
small amount.
"It's okay, it's not much." Yan Zhuo whispered in the captain's ear, "The poisoning is no accident. If we purchase food and grass in a unified way, we will inevitably be poisoned by someone with intentions. It is safer to let the brothers buy separately.
some."
The captain listened to what Yan Zhuo said, nodded and said: "The general is still thoughtful."
The captain ordered people to exchange the silver, and then gave the silver to everyone. All the soldiers were very happy when they took the money. They walked around the town in their respective groups. After being hungry all night, they could finally have a full meal.
Paused.
Yan Zhuo also saw that the beef offal soup on the long street was good, so he took the captain to sit down with him and ordered a large portion of beef offal soup and seven or eight sesame sesame cakes.
The captain looked at the beef offal and sesame cakes, grinned, and said with a simple and honest smile: "General, there is something I don't know whether I should say or not."
