Li Xiaoxi and his "Pingzhou Army" were incorporated into the rear army. The rear army is usually the army that guards grain. This is the grain platform of the Yier Army.
When Liu Zhiwen met with Li Xiaoxi, he once told him that this time the army "conquered" Shicheng, the Liangtai ambassador appointed was Zhou Zhiyu. Of course, Liu Zhiwen also explained to him a few more words at the same time: Zhou Zhiyu's health has been
It was not good, so the main authority and responsibility of the rear army food station rested with Yuhou, the capital of the Yier Army, and Zhang Jingshao, the commander of the rear army. Li Xiaoxi had to obey the orders of Zhang Jingshao, and he would be rewarded heavily for his meritorious service.
Li Xiaoxi believed that Liu Zhiwen would give the above explanation when meeting every general, but Li Xiaoxi knew very well how Zhou Zhiyu became the ambassador of Liangtai.
When Li Xiaoxi paid a visit to Zhang Jingshao, he noticed that there was a look of fear in his eyes, and he was a little embarrassed when he spoke. He did not have the calmness and stability of a general at all. After thinking about it, he understood
He understood the reason why the other party was afraid of him. Perhaps that night in Da'an Mountain, General Zhang was frightened by him. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sneer again and again, and then he opened his mouth and asked for a lot of things, including twenty pairs of leather armors, and Zhang Jingshao
They all agreed, as if they just wanted to send this plague god away as soon as possible.
Li Xiaoxi chose the place closest to Zhou Zhiyu's camp to set up camp. After the tent was set up, he wandered around. In the Liangtai camp, he had many more acquaintances than the Chinese army. For example, Shan Shan
Liu Shanyun, the capital of Ziying Langxingdu, is now the military envoy of Ruzhou, but he is also depressed. It is not that the local area is unwilling to provide money and food, but that Ruzhou cannot provide money and food at all - Ruzhou is a place for war.
It had been purged many times by the Xuanwu Army and the Wei Bo Army, and was subsequently attacked and robbed by the German Army. It was completely unable to supply Liu Shanyun's Ruzhou Army.
However, Liu Shanyun's life was slightly better than that of Li Xiaoxi. At least the governor of Ruzhou would not be as difficult for Li Xiaoxi as Pingzhou and Yingzhou, so Liu Shanyun still reduced the new Ruzhou army to more than 400 people.
Li Xiaoxi was the first casualty on the night of the Da'an Mountain Incident, and Liu Shanyun followed closely behind him, so they had a common feeling. The two soon became brothers, and then took along other Yuan Yi'er who were also assigned to the Liangtai camp.
In the left wing of the army, the officers of the various capital units, the current governors, the envoys of soldiers and horses, the envoys of the military city, and the envoys guarding the capital gathered together in the camp and began to drink.
These people are all professional military generals wandering around the land of Hebei. They all control their own martial arts groups. They are the "soldiers" in the proverb. They are used to seeing the storm. How can they take Zhang Jingshao, who performed poorly that day, seriously?
Within two days, all military laws on the surface were violated.
At first, Zhang Jingshao wanted to punish a few outstanding birds with the power of the military commander, but then he found that every violation seemed to have the shadow of "Liu Bingma". Every time Zhang Jingshao saw "Liu Bingma", he couldn't help but think of that night in Da'an Mountain.
Si Quanshuang, who was hacked to death by the rebels, felt his scalp numb. For this reason, he once sent a letter to the Chinese Army Camp to seek support, but Liu Shouguang and Liu Zhiwen were somewhat connivant. Their explanation was that these people were
They were the most important ministers who made great achievements that day. If they were dealt with like this, the entire army would be devastated.
Liu Shouguang's attitude was more clear. He simply told Zhang Jingshao to turn a blind eye, because these people never paid much attention to military discipline, but their combat power was very impressive. This was how Liu Shouguang used his people back then, so he let Zhang Jingshao turn a blind eye.
Zhang Jingshao should not worry too much. After receiving the reply from the Chinese army, Zhang Jingshao could only look up to the sky and sigh.
When Zhang Jingshao sighed, Zhou Zhiyu, not far away, was also standing alone in the empty tent, sighing silently.
In order to protect Yingzhou, which was growing like a bud, Zhou Zhiyu spread his wings and carefully protected the generals Li Chengzhong had trained himself. He refused to give in on many important matters of interest and fought hard for everything he could.
The benefits they strive for. While putting Pingzhou and Yingzhou on the right track, they also deeply offended Liu Shouguang, Zhao Yuande and other heavyweights in the Lulong Army.
After the Da'an Mountain Incident, Zhou Zhiyu has been trapped in prison waiting to die. He had long been prepared to be killed by Liu Shouguang. But Liu Shouguang did not kill him. With Guo Bingcheng's strong persuasion, Zhou Zhiyu has been able to survive to this day.
. But he knew that the reason why he was alive today was entirely because of the existence of Yingzhou, and the reason Liu Shouguang did not kill him was because he wanted to use him as a hostage to blackmail Li Chengzhong into submission.
The development and growth of Pingzhou and Yingzhou is inseparable from Zhou Zhiyu's careful care. Just like watching his beloved child grow up, he is very happy in his heart and at the same time very determined, and will never allow this
The foundation is destroyed in one's own hands.
But Zhou Zhiyu did not dare to seek death on his own initiative. In Youzhou, he still had his wife Zhou Yao and his underage son Zhou Yuanji. Once he died, Zhou Zhiyu did not think Liu Shouguang would let his family go.
With such ambivalence, Zhou Zhiyu spent more than two months in Youzhou Prison.
Fortunately, he still had his childhood friend Guo Bingcheng, who often came to the prison quietly and told him about the major events happening outside, so that his life in prison would not be a blur. More than ten days ago, Guo Bingcheng had hinted that the camp
The state authorities were actively working to rescue him and his family members from Youzhou, but there was no news after that. When he arrived, he was taken out of the prison and brought to Shicheng with the army.
When Zhou Zhiyu arrived at his destination, he learned about Liu Shouguang's plan. This man who stayed behind had a good idea. Regardless of whether he agreed or not, the identity of Liangtai Ambassador had been forcibly placed on him. Zhou Zhiyu guessed that this idea probably came from the person who was good at
Judge Liu, who was a strategist, couldn't figure out what Jiedu wanted to do.
Therefore, Zhou Zhiyu was even more frightened and worried about Yingzhou all the time.
What Zhou Zhiyu is most worried about is that there will be a misunderstanding between his friend Zhang Zaiji or his nephew Li Chengzhong, who will inherit the mantle. They think that he is attached to Liu Shouguang, and Liu Shouguang will take advantage of him. This ruins the good situation; even if there is no misunderstanding between Zhang Zaiji and Li Chengzhong, they understand that he is
Given the situation, he was also anxious about whether they would shrink back and agree to some excessive conditions that they should not have agreed to.
Therefore, Zhou Zhiyu often paced back and forth in the empty camp, but never found a solution. He really wanted to break out of the cage that imprisoned him, rush to Zhang Zaiji and Li Chengzhong, and ask them not to worry about themselves and not to put him in trouble.
The great foundation was ruined. Or someone could pass on the blood letter written by him to let them know his true intentions. But the real controller of the grain platform-the commander of the rear army, Zhang Jingshao, would never let him leave the camp for half a day.
There is no step forward, let alone any good solutions that can be come up with.
While Zhou Zhiyu was living alone in his tent, Li Xiaoxi entertained a group of "good friends" in his tent. Compared with the banquet he held when he arrived yesterday, there were more generals who came to support him today.
Several people crowded the big tent in a lively manner. There were mutton and noodles on the table, and filled wine bottles in their hands.
As the host, Li Xiaoxi naturally has the right to speak in leading the banquet. He is working hard to publicize what he has seen and heard in Pingzhou and Yingzhou.
"Brothers, I really did not treat you well, and I still need to forgive you for my shortcomings!" Li Xiaoxi held up a bottle to invite him.
"Liu soldiers and horses are too modest. They are so drunk and meaty, what's wrong with them!" Liu Shanyun, the military commander of Ruzhou, said loudly.
All the generals in the tent echoed in unison and raised their bottles to fill up the drink.
"Just these meat and wine? If I was in Pingzhou, I wouldn't even look at it! What I'm entertaining you must be freshly slaughtered lambs. How can I use this dried meat to make up for it! When I was in Pingzhou, I ate delicious slices of meat...
...By the way, I’ll tell you a wonderful recipe. The lamb must be killed first, and the best lamb spines must be frozen in the snow. Then the chef who is good at using a small sword will cut out very thin slices of meat and cook them in hot oil.
Rinse it in the pot, tsk tsk tsk, it’s so tender and refreshing, it’s really wonderful!”
Li Xiaoxi was talking about a new way of eating mutton pot that was spread in Yingzhou. In fact, he had only tasted it once, the day he served Zhang Wei. At that time, Li Xiaoxi's eyes almost popped out of his head.
After he said this, all the generals in the tent shed tears and sighed: "Nowadays, there are no live sheep everywhere, how can we resist eating like this?" In the past two years, wars have continued, and the sheep raised in people's homes have long since disappeared.
All the jerky was collected by the army, and only the generals could get a little ration. Li Xiaoxi spent a lot of money to secretly buy the jerky cooked in hot soup from the quartermaster.
Cattle and sheep outside the customs have long been monopolized by Yingzhou. In the past two months, even sheep were not allowed to enter Youzhou.
Li Xiaoxi said: "You have never been to Yingzhou, but I have been to the outside of the pass. If you look around, you can see cattle and sheep everywhere..."
The generals sighed again, and one of the people suddenly whispered: "Everyone, I saw someone, we still have live sheep. Yesterday night, someone was leading the team on guard duty, and more than ten live sheep were sent to the Chinese army..."
Then everyone became inexplicably angry, denounced in unison, and then lamented endlessly.
Li Xiaoxi looked at the crowd with a look of disdain on his face and said disdainfully: "It's just a sheep, what's so strange about it? I also ate smoked chicken at Pingzhou Dongfu Restaurant, with its charred pink and tender meat. It was fragrant and full of flavor.
It can be spread two miles away! Do you know how much a smoked chicken costs? It’s only a hundred cents!”
Chicken is a good thing. In these days of endless wars, household production is not sustainable, and chickens and ducks are no longer available. It is not easy for most of the generals here to taste it once in a while. As for one hundred coins, you can buy one.
Just smoked chicken, don’t even think about it. The reason why Pingzhou and Yingzhou can eat cheap chicken is all due to the “Chicken and Duck Home” campaign launched by Yingzhou Governor’s History Study Room. The purpose of the campaign is to let everyone
Everyone can eat chicken and duck.
This action, led by the Changshifang Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Department, began with the pacification of the Xiaoling River and Wugu River basins. The temperature in these river valleys is suitable and there are many mudworms in the water plants, which is very suitable for raising chickens and ducks. As chickens and ducks are growing in
Due to extensive breeding in every village and household, the price of adult live chickens and ducks has dropped from the original price to fifty or sixty yuan per piece.
