Chinese New Year.
Xu Yunyan, who was in the Anbei Military Camp, watched as many soldiers who congratulated him on the New Year kept returning to them.
"Happy New Year everyone!"
After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, he distributed to them the dried beef and mutton placed in front of his table that made everyone want to vomit.
"Come on, come on, there's nothing good. Take these beef and mutton and eat some more and drink some."
"Shh..."
Everyone here is speechless!
Is there anyone doing this? They eat beef and mutton every day on this grassland. At first, they thought this was a good thing, but after eating it for ten days and a half, no one could bear it.
Now they all hope to eat some vegetables.
It’s just that green vegetables are not so easy to obtain.
But just as the officials reluctantly took a piece of beef and mutton from Xu Yunyan and left, Xu Yunyan breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the soldiers who were gradually leaving to pay him New Year greetings. He looked towards Chang'an and thought about the friends he knew. Don't know what's going on now.
Thinking of the friends I know, I can't help but look like the South.
Whether it was Luoyang where Wang Huan was, or Chuzhou where Yue'er was, Xu Yunyan had looked at them all.
"I wonder how you are doing now?"
Wang Huan also delayed Xu Yunyan's fortune and served as acting governor for a period of time. The court felt that he did a good job and made him the acting governor. After the previous round, if he really did well, he could become a full-time official. .
As for Yue'er?
In Zhaojia Village and Zhaojia Village, all the villagers celebrated the New Year festively and had a great time.
But after Xu Yunyan saw the relatives and friends he knew in the south, he then saw the direction of Yanmen in the north.
"Xu Guichang, Xu Guichang, others stay far away, but you stay close to me. I have a large army stationed here, and you don't know how to send me some food and supplies. Although I am not short of meat, this also means that you have a little heart. Bar."
】
Xu Yunyan is muttering here, while Xu Guichang, who is far away in Yanmen, is kneeling on the washboard to apologize to his wife on the occasion of the New Year.
"Madam, I was wrong, please forgive me."
Although Xu Guichang is admitting his mistake, Wang Xiaofei in front of him may not necessarily forgive him.
A child next to Wang Xiaofei is holding a feather duster for him, and the other one is babbling here and learning to talk, but it sounds like he means to cheer Wang Xiaofei. Wang Xiaofei was holding another one in her arms, and that one was sleeping peacefully here.
"Can you please keep your voice down for me from now on and don't be startled at every turn? Can our little baby bear it?"
"Yes, yes, I was wrong, I was wrong, I never dare to do it again."
Xu Guichang kept admitting his mistake here, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart.
"Why is my dignified seven-foot man like this? I always look for someone like this. I don't know where he came from. I really miss Brother Li. I wonder if I can go to Brother Li again for advice. He It’s not far from my place.”
Wang Xiaofei was here to teach Xu Guichang a lesson. Seeing him in a daze, she couldn't help but reach out and immediately took the feather duster and stepped forward.
"what are you thinking about?"
"ah!"
Xu Guichang was in pain, but he still said here, "Madam, you are wronged! I was wondering if I should take Madam to visit an old friend? They are not far from here, and we have no place to visit during the Spring Festival. There is one Brother is still so far away, if we go to visit, it would not be appropriate to leave without permission."
When Xu Guichang said this, Wang Xiaofei became interested, "That's okay. Just be prepared. As long as it doesn't affect your official duties, we will go and visit you."
After Wang Xiaofei spoke, Xu Yunyan hurriedly clapped his hands and applauded, "Okay, I will make arrangements now. Nothing will go wrong."
After such a scene, Xu Guichang finally stood up.
When Xu Guichang and Wang Xiaofei rode a carriage and were escorted by some Yanmen residents who volunteered to accompany them, and marched towards the military camp chosen by Xu Yunyan in the south of Yanmen, the imperial court's decree finally arrived at the military camp.
Xu Yunyan was holding a lamb leg here and forcing himself to stuff it into his stomach. He really had nothing to eat, and he was hungry even if he didn't eat. It was very uncomfortable to force himself to eat in the cold weather.
But not long after I complained here, I was studying whether to fight with this mutton leg for 300 rounds, when a messenger came to report.
"Report! Lord Protector, there is a messenger from the imperial court coming outside the camp to convey the order."
"Come to deliver the message?"
Xu Yunyan was a little surprised. Maybe he had eaten too much meat and his head was a little greasy and slow to react. Xu Yunyan reacted after murmuring.
"Hurry and gather all the soldiers to prepare for the imperial edict."
"yes!"
As soon as the messenger finished speaking, he walked out of the tent and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Assemble! Take the order!"
The advantage of having fewer soldiers in Anbei can be seen. Everyone can hear it clearly if he speaks casually.
Soon, except for the soldiers who were on patrol outside, everyone else gathered in the center of the school grounds, waiting for the angel to come and deliver the message.
Along with the angel came many carriages. The carriages were covered with waterproof cloth and it was difficult to see what was inside. However, seeing that the shape did not look like a box, everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
"This should be supplies sent to them. If it's money, it's a square box, and this one has bulges in places and sunken places. It's obviously like green vegetables. We can finally improve the food. ”
If the defenders in other places knew that they could improve their food by eating some vegetables instead of eating meat, they would not necessarily fight against them. But they were all eating vegetables there, and they were almost going crazy thinking about meat.
As the messenger entered the camp, he was invited by Xu Yunyan to the military commanding platform to read out the imperial edict. Xu Yunyan took the lead in saluting.
"Long live my emperor."
Xu Yunyan took the lead in accepting the order. Although the Anbei Army only had a thousand people, I shouted slogans for nearly ten thousand people.
Although they were tired of eating meat, this super supply really made them energetic. However, the messenger didn't realize what was going on at first. With these people shouting like this, they heard the wind blowing in the camp. It was the smell of blood. I couldn't help but shiver. I took out the imperial edict in my arms and said it carefully.
"Why are you so polite, General? It's appropriate for you to stand and listen. This is not an order arranged by His Majesty, but a reward for you."
The eunuch spoke fearfully here. Xu Yunyan and the others were very curious. Can they still stand and listen when the edict is delivered? But since he was standing and listening, Xu Yunyan quickly stood up.
This moment really frightened the eunuch. After being polite, you are really being polite?
Xu Yunyan stood up, and General Chang Shi behind him also stood up. Li Yunlong and Li Yunfei were so straightforward. Since you said we can stand and listen, then let's stand up and listen.
Shi Jin and Feng Tao also stood up without giving in. Their positions were still higher than those of generals Li Yunfei and Li Yunlong.
After they stood up, the four divine beast generals and the four town generals also stood up. After that, the school captains and brigade commanders all stood up. When the entire school stood up, the eunuch was even more frightened. , looking at this tiger and wolf master who can tear tigers and leopards alive, smelling the serious smell of blood in the camp, and the unknown things not far from the camp, dyed red There was a pile of blood stains, and the messenger was trembling with fear here.
How many people had to be killed to get so much blood to dye it so red!
If he had known that this was the scene caused by the Anbei Army slaughtering all the captured cattle, sheep, horseshide and other livestock, he might not have said anything. It might as well be winter now, but if it had been summer, the whole camp would have stunk.
However, out of fear, the eunuch still carried out what he should do, talking about the achievements of Anbei Army in a mellow tone...
Although there is no achievement yet.
However, if you are stationed here, you will be away from home all year round. Just in time for the Spring Festival, the treasury left a lot of money because Li Shimin did not provide benefits to those small countries and frightened them with the money. I took out some of it and bought them some good things.
The good stuff is nothing more than food, supplies, and a little bit of military pay that counts as new year's money.
After everyone was here looking at the undulating curves on the carriage, imagining that it contained the vegetables that Li Shimin loaded for them, the eunuch finally said that he had sent 50 carts of cans.
can?
Xu Yunyan couldn't help but smile when he heard the canned food. This canned food is good. It is produced by himself. It can not only contain vegetables and fruits, but also fish. However, when he thought of fish, Xu Yunyan's face fell.
I guess Li Shimin was too embarrassed to use them to comfort the border troops. Most of the fruits and vegetables must be canned fish and meat.
"Isn't this canned fish?"
Xu Yunyan looked at Deputy Protector Shi Jin and Chief Shi Feng Tao talking here beside him.
"Why do I feel that what His Majesty gave us looks like canned meat or fish?"
"What? Canned meat? Didn't you hear that these cans come with fruits and vegetables? Why is Your Majesty so petty and angry that he doesn't give us some fruits and vegetables? This is much cheaper than this meat, and we don't mind it either."
When Shi Jin said this, Feng Tao said, "Yes, we don't mind it, but haven't the border troops always been canned fish and meat, giving them meat to eat?"
have to! Feng Tao's words got to the point of the topic, just as Xu Yunyan thought, and then the two of them were here, you looked at me and I looked at you, you were a little tangled.
Finally looking at Xu Yunyan, Xu Yunyan nodded, "I think it's possible."
The three of them were in mourning for a moment. After the eunuch finished speaking, they quickly rushed forward, "Let's take a look and see what kind of treasure His Majesty gave us."
After several people said this, the eunuch was heartbroken.
"I can't do it, I can't do it. I haven't opened the imperial seal yet. If you open it like this, you will cause trouble."
"do not mind the details."
Li Yunlong and Li Yunfei, two clan generals surnamed Li, stepped forward and said, "Let's take a look. Aren't we afraid that not opening the imperial seal would be an insult to the royal dignity? Then we two royals can open it."
Li Yunfei and Li Yunlong said this, and opened the imperial seal on the carriage. As expected, there were cart after cart of cans inside. Those who had seen cans knew that there were fruits and vegetables in them, so they couldn't help but fantasize about them. Those who had not seen them could not help but fantasize about them. I have seen it here and asked curiously.
But just when Li Shimin's goods were opened, Xu Yunyan, Shi Jin and Feng Tao looked at each other, and after seeing clearly that it was a can, they stepped forward fearfully to open one.
But before opening it, the eunuch started talking again.
"Your Majesty feels sorry for the lack of meat in the frontier, and has sent 50 carts of canned fish and meat as a special gift."
"It's really fish. Oh my god, we don't want to eat meat anymore, don't we?"
