The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 340 Kansai People's Feelings, Supervision by the Ministry of War

Liu Bian took Song Ran, chief guard Wang Lin and more than a dozen guards, and ran along the official road. Originally, he wanted to come to Kansai to see how the people are doing.Lu met the family members of Po Qiang Zhonglang General Song Quan, and wanted to go to Daying with them as a study tour.

Unexpectedly, he encountered a group of horse bandits halfway. During the melee, Song Quan's daughter Song Ying chased the horse bandits and ran away. Liu Bian had no choice but to chase them, but after chasing for almost 10 miles, Song Ying still hadn't been seen.

Just when Liu Bian was about to hurry up and continue to chase, he heard the sound of fighting coming from the front.Song Ying was fighting with the horse bandit with a knife in his hand, and there were several corpses of the horse bandit on the ground.

Liu Bian stopped not far away and asked Wang Lin and the imperial guards to help. He could see that Song Ying was very skilled in martial arts, but lacked experience in fighting and was already at a disadvantage under the life-threatening struggle of the horse bandits.

The guards formed a battle formation and quickly wiped out the horse bandits under the leadership of Wang Lin.

Song Ying said to Zhou Bo angrily: "Whoever asked you to help me, this girl can solve them by herself!"

Seeing her angry appearance, Wang Lin pointed to the corpses of the two horse bandits not far away and said, "Girl, you see, they are going to trap you with a fishing net. If I don't save you, you will be captured by them." .”

She naturally knew the power of the fishing net, and with her own force, she would definitely be unable to escape.

Turning around and saluting to Wang Lin: "Brother Xie for saving me, I don't know what to call my brother?"

"I'm going down to Wang Lin."

They walked back and met the convoy that was chasing them. Mrs. Song asked Song Ying to get on the carriage and told her well.Continue to advance to Song Quan's camp, and never encounter horse bandits on the road.

The big camp was set up on a flat ground next to the river, with hundreds of tents. A ranger saw the convoy and learned that it was Mrs. Song. The leader led the convoy forward and sent his men to inform Song Quan.

Liu Bian followed the convoy into the camp and saw Zhou Quan. Song Quan was in his 40s, tall and without armor.

"Did the journey go well?"

Mrs. Song pulled Song Ying who was having a lively chat with Zhou Bo over, pointed at her and said, "Your precious daughter chased and hacked a dozen horse bandits, and everything else went well."

Hearing Mrs. Song's words, Song Quan laughed loudly: "It's my good daughter!"

Only then did I notice Liu Bian and his party. The few guards following Liu Bian were more imposing than his elite soldiers. They immediately guessed that the identities of Liu Bian and others were definitely not simple.

When he was under Li Cunxiao's command, he had seen Liu Bian from afar, but now that Liu Bian was dressed in simple clothes, he really couldn't recognize him, he just felt that Liu Bian had an extraordinary bearing.

"May I ask how many of you are here at my camp?" Song Quan asked.

Liu Bian handed Zhou Bo his official certificate and asked him to give it to Song Quan.Seeing that Liu Bian was the supervisor, Song Quan dared not neglect and asked him to enter the account.

Mrs. Song asked the soldiers to bring down the labor supplies they brought, and asked the cooks to make mutton soup for everyone in the evening.Alcohol was banned in the Han army, from generals to ordinary soldiers. If anyone drank alcohol, they would be whipped or beheaded according to the situation.

Therefore, Mrs. Song did not dare to bring drinks, but only brought beef and mutton to the army.With the cultivation of new rice varieties, the dependence on cattle has decreased, and beef has also appeared on the table.

Sit down according to priority, Song Ying impatiently talked about the process of chasing and killing the horse bandits with Song Quan, and praised Wang Lin very much.

Song Quan cupped his hands to Wang Lin and said, "My daughter likes to wield knives and guns since she was a child, and she dared to chase the horse bandits alone. Thank you for saving me."

Wang Lin replied: "General, you don't have to be polite, this is my duty."

Song Quan looked at Liu Bian, clasped his fists and said, "Master Supervisor came to visit, I don't know why?"

Liu Bian smiled and said, "I wonder if the Qiang rebels have been eliminated?"

"The main force has been wiped out by our army, and only a small number of rebels are left to resist."

Liu Bian nodded and said, "Where is the camp of the new army?"

"The new army has already set off and headed straight for the Hetao area."

Liu Bian didn't know the news of the new army's departure, but now that he heard Song Quan's words, he decided not to chase them anymore, and ordered Song Ran to bring the horse team behind them.

The horse team brought a lot of food and drinks, and they were going to send part of it to Song Quan's troops so that they could have the food and wine that the court rewarded the army on New Year's Eve.

Liu Bian said: "We are going to Tianshui, where the rebels are the worst. We are going to see how the people live."

"Thank you for your kindness, my lord. The Han army has strict discipline. Whenever we are the first-line troops, we are not allowed to drink alcohol." Song Quan wanted to decline.

Liu Bian waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, you are stationed here, you can drink on New Year's Eve. After the remaining rebels are wiped out after the next year, rest in place and wait for the order of the Ministry of War."

Song Quan still wanted to refuse, Wang Lin clasped his hands and said, "General, Your Majesty issued an imperial decree that all armies will fight for a long time this year, and they can drink moderately on New Year's Eve." After speaking, he handed over the order of the Ministry of War to Song Quan.

Song Quan looked at it and said to Wang Lin, "Are you from the Ministry of War?"

"No. I am the guard of the Overseer." Wang Lin denied.

After a while, Song Ran arrived with a cavalry team. The soldiers looked at the wine jars in several carriages and their eyes widened.The slightest aroma of wine floated around, making them swallow their saliva.

Song Quan ordered the political commissar to deal with the wine and food sent by Liu Bian, and his wife prepared the food and brought it up.Song Ying kept adding food to Zhou Bo, which made Zhou Bo very uncomfortable.

Liu Bian looked at Song Ying's actions and thought that Zhou Bo's daughter-in-law would be found.The cook Mrs. Song brought was good, the mutton soup was fat but not greasy, and Liu Bian drank two big bowls in a row.

After several people had eaten, they went to the camp to rest under the leadership of the soldiers.

After breakfast the next day, Liu Bian and the others were about to leave.Wang Lin stretched his neck and looked behind, Liu Bian didn't know that he was looking for Song Ying.

"Let's go, we have to go back to Chang'an on New Year's Eve." Liu Bian said deliberately.

How could Wang Lin dare to procrastinate any longer, galloping wildly without speaking a word along the way.

Liu Bian smiled at Song Ran and pointed at Wang Lin. Song Ran immediately understood and stopped the team: "Lieutenant Wang, I left something in the camp. Please go back and get it for me."

"Oh. I'll send someone there right away." After speaking, he wanted his subordinates to go back and fetch things for Song Ran.

The imperial guard scratched his head and asked, "Master Song, what did you leave behind?"

Song Ran kicked him on the butt angrily, "Go aside." He patted Wang Lin on the shoulder and said, "I lost my heart in the barracks, please go and get it back yourself."

Only now did Wang Lin realize that Song Ran was teasing him, and his face flushed with embarrassment.Song Ran handed him a letter: "Your Majesty has ordered me to write a hand letter and transfer you to Song Quan's tent as a school lieutenant. You can go back to Chang'an to find the Ministry of War for a seal, and then return to Song Quan's camp."

Wang Lin wanted to refuse. He was Liu Bian's bodyguard. Leaving Liu Bian was against his duty. Although he liked Song Ying, he still couldn't make him leave Liu Bian for Song Ying.
