With Jiang Bin's current status in Zhengde's eyes, it is not very difficult to persuade him to stay here a little longer. He only needs to excuse that the terrain here is good and there are many prey, and Zhengde himself stays happily.

Tens of thousands of troops just watched their emperor having a great time in this wilderness. Most of the rest of the people could only sit by the fire, lower their heads and pass the time silently, not knowing the painful days. When will it end.

Looking at the sky that was gradually clouding, He Jia'an felt something bad in his heart. If it really snowed in such a cold day, it would undoubtedly be a catastrophe for the logistics. Although the current food and grass can last for a while, but Who knows how long this snow will last, if it takes a long time, the army will be trapped here, when the road is muddy and the weather is cold, it may be difficult to transport food in.

This is not possible, I must mention it to the emperor, even if I go forward for a few days to be closer to Datong, it is much better than staying in this barren mountain.

But before he wants to find the emperor, He Jiaan still has to tell Wei Xishan his thoughts to Master Wei first. After all, in the officialdom, one level is more important than one level. It is the behavior of leapfrogging, on the one hand, it is also implying that one's superiors do nothing. This kind of behavior is what these officials hate the most.

This time was different from last time, even Wei Xishan could feel the momentum of dark clouds overwhelming the sky, seeing that a heavy snow was about to hit, but the emperor still had a bit of fun, the two discussed again, Let's go to the big tent of the Chinese army together.

It's just that when the two of them arrived in front of the big tent, they were all in vain. The emperor was still hunting and didn't come back. He Jiaan looked up at the sky that was already getting dark, but sighed inwardly. He didn't know if the current emperor could listen to it. own advice.

At this moment, a group of people suddenly appeared in the distance, the leader was dressed in an apricot yellow hunting suit, and walked towards the big tent with great interest. He Jiaan and Wei Xishan could see clearly, and hurried forward a few steps, deeply A salute said: "I have seen Your Majesty."

"Oh, it turned out to be the two love ministers. Your news is good enough. You know that I have gained a lot today, so why don't you come over for the tooth-beating ceremony?"

Uh……?

What the hell is this?

Chapter 1028 Coincidence

Sure enough, when the guards piled up all the prey that Zhengde had killed, He Jiaan understood the meaning of a good harvest. Looking at the prey under his feet, he really felt a little uncomfortable. You are trembling in the wind, but you are having a great time, the emperor doesn't take these people seriously.

It's just that I came here by myself, it's really not because of this stuttering, He Jiaan and Wei Xishan looked at each other, and then said seriously: "Your Majesty, I didn't come here for this matter."

"Oh?" Zhengde suddenly showed a puzzled expression on his face, paused for a moment, saw that the two people seemed to understand something, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he regained his usual majesty, and said slowly: "Both of you Aiqing, you came to see me for something, right?"

Wei Xishan bit the bullet and nodded, and then said: "Your Majesty, the minister and Mr. He looked at the sky and found that there might be heavy snow falling. If the army continues to stay here, it may be covered by heavy snow. When the road is muddy, food and grass may not be able to follow. Come on, so I am bold enough for you, please march towards Datong quickly."

"It turned out to be this matter." After hearing this, Zhengde suddenly smiled, and looked back with approval, but was caught by He Jiaan's gaze, and his heart skipped a beat. It was none other than Jiang Bin. Could there be some secret between the two of them?

But soon, He Jiaan knew what the secret was.

When Zhengde turned his head, he nodded at Wei Xishan and said, "Wei Aiqing is loyal to the country, and she is really my minister, but your suggestion is still a bit late." Turning his head, he pointed to Jiang Bin and said, "Jiang Aiqing asked you to come to me this morning. I have already mentioned this matter to me, and I also agreed to him. The army will set off early in the morning and march towards Datong at a high speed. "

Jiang Bin actually persuaded Zhengde to leave?What the hell is he doing?

He Jia'an didn't believe that Jiang Bin would have such kindness, and he had a conflict with him a few days ago. Could it be that he said this for himself?

For a while, He Jia'an couldn't determine what Jiang Bin meant, but since Zhengde had already prepared to leave tomorrow, the two of them had to go back and prepare immediately. Thinking of this, the two of them offered to leave, but Zhengde didn't want to stay However, he asked his guards to prepare ten prey for the two of them to take back.

Compared with the worry at the time, the two of them have successfully completed the task this time, but He Jiaan always has a feeling that he can't be happy. If he finishes talking about this matter and Zhengde agrees, then he thinks it is very normal But if Jiang Bin said it in advance, what the hell is he doing?

Regarding the grievances between He Jiaan and Jiang Bin, Wei Xishan also knows a little bit. Although he doesn't know much, he also knows how incompatible the two people are. After returning to his camp, he took He Jiaan aside. , and asked in a low voice: "Brother He, didn't Jiang Bin come here specifically for you?"

"Probably not." He Jiaan was also a little uncertain. After all, moving the army forward is something that is good for him. As long as he is out of the wilderness, the closer he is to the city, the less pressure on logistics, especially in Datong. In this kind of important military town, the usual food is piled up into mountains, and the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will not cause any pressure at all.

"It's better to be careful. I'll inform everyone to rest earlier. Tomorrow, the army will march forward. Don't fall behind." After Wei Xishan gave his instructions, he took another look at the prey piled aside, and suddenly smiled, "I've heard that why My lord has good cooking skills, while there is still some time before dark, why don't you show your skills, and when I come back later, we will replace wine with tea and chat for a while."

"Family is safe."

Being in the rear army, there is no shortage of soldiers under his command. The ten prey were quickly cleaned up, and He Jiaan personally smeared his own special seasoning on them. After setting up the wood on the fire, He Jiaan put All the pheasants and hares were put on top, and I sat opposite Tang Lin and began to roast slowly.

Barbecuing outside does require a good patience. If the fire is too high, the prey will be easily burnt. The meat inside is not yet cooked, but the outside has become coke.

It doesn't work if the fire is too low. After roasting for a long time, the outside is still raw, so you can eat it in your life.

Fortunately, both He Jia'an and Tang Lin were already masters in this way, shaking the branches in their hands unhurriedly, after a while, a thick fragrance wafted out.

Wei Xishan came here by following the scent. He usually pays attention to his image in the capital, but now he is more bold outside. He just found a stone and sat down, looking at the roasting on the wooden rack. Chicken, suddenly asked curiously: "Master He, I heard that you have a unique seasoning called chili?"

Ever since the queen mother tasted the chili, she has been inseparable from it. All the chili in the palace was provided by He Jia'an. Over time, I don't know who passed it on. Many people have heard of this seasoning, but they have never heard of it. Having seen it before, Wei Xishan immediately thought of this when he smelled this strange spicy smell today.

He Jiaan nodded with a smile and said: "Actually, it's not a unique seasoning. This chili, corn and sweet potato all came to me at the same time. Corn and sweet potato can satisfy hunger, but this chili can only be used as seasoning. So I kept it, and this year's production is only a little higher, if Mr. Wei is used to eating spicy food, I will send some to your house after I go back."

"Then thank you, Mr. He." Wei Xishan has long been thinking about getting some chili peppers, but there is no such condiment sold in the market, so he has no choice but to ask He Jiaan for some, but he is afraid of being caught by him. Refusing to lose face, today's opportunity is good, and He Jiaan's promise was obtained directly.

It's just some hot peppers, so what's the big deal? If Wei Xishan knew about this year's production, he probably wouldn't think how valuable these hot peppers are.

At this time, He Jiaan picked up a roast chicken from the wooden rack, peeled off the meat piece by piece with the heat, and disassembled the rest of the chicken rack, and then put it into the cauldron that had already boiled away Inside, after pouring some spicy seasoning into it, he smiled and said: "It's cold, after the soup is cooked, let everyone come over and drink some to get rid of the cold."

Wei Xishan didn't expect He Jia'an to have such a tender side. After thinking about it, he also put the chicken in front of him next to the iron pot, and said with a smile: "Although there is not a lot of meat, one person can always share a bite. Today Let everyone have a taste, this is He Jiaan's secret seasoning."

The soldiers who were drinking porridge had long been stimulated by the aroma. Although they never thought that they could share a sip, it was always okay to smell the aroma. Now that they heard it, they had the opportunity to drink the broth, smiling Immediately, it was hung on the face, and the pot after mouthful was set up again, and the remaining skeletons were also thrown into it.

The strong spicy taste immediately warmed up these soldiers from the soles of their feet to their bodies, and everyone also deeply remembered the word chili in their hearts.

He Jiaan and Wei Xishan naturally left one for the two of them. While eating slowly, the two chatted casually. While chatting, He Jiaan suddenly felt a cold on the tip of his nose, and when he reached out to touch it, he felt cold. Seeing the existence of a drop of water, I couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and quickly raised my head to look at the deep sky, and then large flakes of snowflakes fell down.

Chapter 1029

Chapter 1029

It was true that the snow fell suddenly. When I opened my eyes the next day, the sky and the earth were already a vast expanse of whiteness. The snow was so deep that it could cover people’s feet. What made people palpitating was the heavy snow But still didn't mean to stop.

He Jiaan has already realized how harmful the snow will be. No matter whether the snow stops or not, the test for the entire rear army will be very severe. One day's journey, I immediately turned around and went back, one is to facilitate the supply of food and grass, and the other is to avoid bringing the army into unpredictable dangers.

For this unexpected but reasonable heavy snow, Zhengde's reaction was relatively quick. He called all the chief officers of the armies to his tent early in the morning, and he didn't know it was a discussion. Something is still ordering something.

He Jiaan's level was not high enough, so he naturally couldn't get into the big tent. Just as he was looking forward to it, Wei Xishan, who was attending the meeting, came back with a pale face. When he saw He Jiaan's inquiring eyes, he stopped and hesitated. After a while, he said: "The emperor has a decree. The purpose of the army remains unchanged. Immediately dispatch to the direction of Datong, so that our rear army can quickly catch up."

"What?" Did you hear me right?This is not going to war. The army is not moving to a safe place, but is moving to a dangerous place. Whoever came up with this bad idea, it is clearly disregarding the lives of the soldiers.

You know, the snow on the ground seems normal now, but after being walked by, it will immediately become muddy, and it will freeze solidly at night, and the carriage will not be able to move forward at all the next day .

And as time goes on, the distance between the army and the rear will only become farther and farther. When it reaches a certain level, the army's food and grass will become a huge problem.

Thinking of this, He Jiaan couldn't hold back any longer, and said repeatedly: "No, I have to go to see the emperor, and I must explain clearly to him the interests involved."

Before He Jiaan left, Wei Xishan stretched out his arms and said with a wry smile, "Did Jiaan think that I didn't persuade you? I have worn out my lips, and the emperor would not believe my words. He would continue to move forward no matter what he said. Strictly order the rear army to keep up, if the army runs out of food, they will take my head for surgery."

"This..." This is not out to train soldiers, this is clearly taking the heads of two people to sacrificially.

The fire in He Jiaan's heart became more and more intense. At this moment, he suddenly thought of Jiang Bin, but his expression froze. Could this be Jiang Bin's idea?His purpose is to separate the main army from the rear army. If there is no food supply for a day, his head may have to move.

The more he thought about it, the more likely this was possible. The expression on He Jiaan's face became darker. It seemed that Jiang Bin really hated him. In order to get rid of him, he did not hesitate to bring tens of thousands of troops into a dangerous situation.

The crux of the problem is that even if I see his poisonous plan, there is nothing I can do about it. In such a cold day and on such a muddy road, the rear army can't keep up with the speed of the front army anyway, so it's clear Tell yourself that it will be your own death in a few days.

Obviously, Wei Xishan is also aware of this problem, so when he comes back, he always looks ashamed and sneers, and sometimes when he sees He Jiaan, he even shows an apologetic expression, because he himself dragged him into this deep pit.

Now that they have been forced to this point, if they don't want to die, they can only fight to the death. After packing up the camp, the rear army began to follow in the footsteps of the front army and set off.

Sure enough, just as He Jiaan imagined, the road stepped by the former army has already become extremely muddy. Although it has not yet reached the point where it can be trapped in a carriage, as time goes by, there will be such a day sooner or later.
