farming in ancient times

The general felt that Shi Lei had already licked the bowl clean, and there was nothing to eat in his tent, the four of them should go.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Nan took a straw cushion and sat next to Xiao Er, chatting with Xiao Er with great enthusiasm.Deputy Shuai Gao raised his eyebrows, "You guys are more free than the other today." As he spoke, he bent down and picked up Xiao Er from the ground and walked out.

Xiao Er hugged his neck reflexively, "What are you doing? Put me down!"

"That's right, General, it's getting dark, where are you going?" Yin Wei asked.

Butcher Gao glanced back at them, stepped out of the tent and put Xiao Er down, then put his arms around his shoulders and said, "Let's go to digest food."

Digestion?Doesn't that mean that I can wander around in the ancient military camp, Xiaoer's face is full of joy, "Okay!"

When he saw the soldiers passing by them looking at him, Xiao Er smiled back.

In fact, if Xiaoer’s core hadn’t been replaced, there wouldn’t be much for him to visit in the barracks. There were tents of different sizes everywhere, and if these tents were crowded together, people would get warmed up after walking inside for a while. sweat.General Gao discovered this and said, "There is a small forest in the south, let's go there to cool off."

Huang Qu said, "General, you can't go to Xiaoshulin."

"Why are you still here?" The general turned his head and saw the four people following them step by step. After thinking about it, he asked, "Are you still busy?"

"No!" Shi Lei shook his head first.

Butcher Gao said, "Then why are you following us?"

Shi Lei said, "I saw the military division and they are all following you."

"Yin Wei!" The general's voice suddenly rose, "If you have something to talk about, get out!" He was going to take Xiaoer to enjoy the cool.By the way, let Xiaoer take a look at his current net worth.

Yin Wei didn't know the small calculations in the general's mind, and cursed secretly, bastard, forget about brothers when you have a wife!He smiled and said, "General, can we have dinner with you tomorrow?"

"That's it?" Butcher Gao was surprised, "As for it." Seeing the joy on the faces of the four people, he said decisively, "No way!"

"Uh..." The military adviser choked, and rushed straight to the general's face full of resentment.

Butcher Gao wiped off his cold sweat and asked, "What did you call Xiaoer earlier?"

"Ma'am." Shi Lei said seriously.

"That's right. Let my wife cook for you. You all have a wide face." Butcher Gao looked at several people with a half-smile.

"Aren't you still married?" Yin Wei argued strongly.

The general lowered his head and pecked Xiao Er's face, "Xiao Er, let's get married later!"

Xiao Er's answer was to step on his foot hard, "If you want to get married, go by yourself!" After speaking, he turned and left.

Butcher Gao hurriedly followed.

Seeing that the deputy commander was so stupid, Huang Qu covered his sore back molars and asked, "Military division, what should we do now?"

Yin Weidao, "I thought Madam came from the countryside. Hearing that we like to eat the food he cooked, he should take the initiative to make it for us. Who would have thought that he would watch the general reject us without saying a word." What a mistake.

Shi Lei didn't understand why the military adviser said that, the wife came to the countryside, she is also the wife of the deputy general, so she shouldn't cook for them.But when he thought that he would not be able to eat the meals cooked by his wife in the future, he said with some regret, "Madam's cooking is really delicious!"

Yin Wei raised his hand and slapped him on the head, "How dare you say that you idiot finished all the food, and I'm still hungry."

"Hey! Serve it right! Don't think that I, Shi Lei, don't know what you guys are thinking. Why don't you say that you look down on Madam's food when you see it?" Shi Lei didn't think it was enough, and continued, "Madam If it's the kind of person who can't get on the stage, how can the general eat the food made by the madam without using the fire fighters. What's wrong with the food made by the madam, delicious food is the most important thing!"

As soon as these words came out, the other three people were startled, and suddenly felt that they were villains today.

Thinking of this, Yin Wei hurriedly grabbed Shi Lei, "Smart man, come and tell brother if the general saw what we were thinking just now."

"Of course I didn't see it." Shi Lei saw that the three smartest people in the army except the general looked at him, he was quite proud, "If the general sees it, you...huh!"

"Hmph!" Yin Wei felt relieved, raised his hand to give him a slap, and stepped to push Xiaoer away.

Seeing the military adviser walking so fast, Shi Lei was surprised, he had looked down on his wife before, but now he dares to approach her... No wonder he can be a military adviser, such a thick skin is not something ordinary people can have.

At this time, Xiao Er was standing under the shade of the tree, and a gust of cool wind hit, Xiao Er took a deep breath comfortably, "Uh...what stinks!" and quickly covered her nose.

Huang Qu and the others heard this when they walked up to the general. Huang Qu looked at the general with a smile, "Ma'am, our war horses are raised in the woods."

"What?" Xiao Er frowned slightly, and asked suspiciously, "Why did you keep the horse in the woods?"

"The weather is too hot, and the horses can't stand it under the straw shed during the day, so the groom suggested that I put the stable in the woods." There is another point that the general didn't say. He has [-] elite soldiers, and cavalry account for five points. one.

Because the battle line from east to west was too long this time, after he secretly gave the Marshal [-] war horses, he sent [-] elite soldiers and [-] war horses to the east to prevent the Hu people from bypassing him and coming from the east. attack.

General Gao still hadn't figured out the strength of the Hu people, and he was afraid that when the enemy knew that he had only 2000 horses left, they would suddenly be overwhelmed by soldiers, so he lied to others that there were more than [-] horses in the woods.

Only the five of them and the groom knew the actual situation.

Xiaoer heard Zheng Nan say that this forest is actually a small hill, and their team camped around this hill, so Xiaoer knew how important these war horses were to them.

Knowing about these mistresses, I gave up the idea of ​​going in to have a look, and my head was thumped by the cicadas on the tree, so I said, "Let's go back!"

"Okay!" Butcher Gao turned around, put his arms around Xiao Er's shoulders and saw that he suddenly stopped moving, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Er looked up at the concerned butcher, then at the four people beside him, hesitating to say what he thought when he turned around just now.

When Butcher Gao saw him like this, he said, "Military division and the others are not outsiders, you can say whatever you want, I'm here for everything!"

Xiao Er looked at the four of them again, gritted his teeth, and said, "I want to catch cicadas!"

"A cicada monkey that hasn't shed its shell?" Seeing Xiao Er nodded, the general suddenly had a bad feeling, and looked at Xiao Er again, who nodded again, and the general smiled wryly.

Impatient and straightforward, Shi Lei saw the two playing charades and asked, "General, madam, what are you doing?"

"Xiao Er is going to catch cicadas," said Butcher Gao.

Shi Lei said, "Madam just said, we heard."

"Catch cicadas and eat them!" Butcher Gao spat out three words, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

Yin Wei turned pale, "Eat...eat cicadas?"

"Eating worms!" Huang Qu plucked his ears in disbelief, saw the patch on his wife's clothes, looked at the general with self-blame in his eyes, and silently said that he had treated his wife harshly.

And Shi Lei felt that the general was stingy before, so he yelled directly, "Ma'am, we have white flour, white rice, chicken, duck and eggs in our army. Let's not eat those bugs. Let's go back quickly." As he said that, he wanted to drag Xiao Er , because the general was in front of him, he stretched out his hands and then retracted them.

Speaking of this Xiaoer, I suddenly thought, "Your food is really good. I heard from those in the village who went to serve in the army that they ate brown rice mixed with noodles in the army."

This is also one of the reasons why Xiao Er Fei came to Butcher Gao, worried that he would not be able to eat a good meal while working hard.

Seeing the confusion on Madam's face, Shi Lei smiled, Huang Qu smiled, and the military master smiled most proudly.Seeing Butcher Gao, Xiaoer also smiled subtly, and became even more suspicious, "What are you all laughing at?"

"Ma'am, I don't know. There are so many teams in the Jinyu Dynasty, so we just eat white flour and rice." Zheng Nan's face was full of embarrassment.

Xiaoer said: "You guys are so good at eating, does the emperor know?"

"Of course the emperor knows. For the sake of the southern guard, he even tricked General Yushi into a book."

Xiao Er thought to himself, I knew this would happen.If he were the southern guard, even if he couldn't beat Butcher Gao, he would take advantage of the dark night and wind to find a few people to put him in a sack, catch Butcher and beat him up.

Yin Wei didn't know what Xiao Er was thinking, seeing his strange expression, he thought that his wife was worried about the general, so he said: "Although we are living without food, that is what the soldiers bought with their flesh and blood."

"So what?" Xiaoer asked.

Yin Weidao, "It all started when the general used 4000 cavalry to kill more than [-] Rongdi cavalry. At that time, the emperor sent imperial envoys to reward the border soldiers. Form a cavalry battalion."

"Don't we have cavalry?" Xiao Er asked strangely.

"Yes, the first emperor and the general had cavalry when they were alive. Because our horses are not strong enough, there are very few horses that can be used as war horses, and the border of the Jinyu Dynasty is very long. Except for the southeast coast, cavalry is needed everywhere. Even The cavalry has been developed for so many years, and there are not many war horses assigned to the Northwest.

The emperor saw that the general was able to win more with less, and heard that the general wanted to develop cavalry instead of high officials. Later, he sent imperial envoys to send a large amount of gold and silver. "

"He won't replace all these gold and silver with white rice and flour?" Xiao Er asked with a strange expression, pointing at Butcher Gao.

Yin Wei was speechless, "Uh...not really. In fact, the general didn't want to ask the court for money, but the general wanted to ask the emperor for an imperial edict allowing him to form a cavalry battalion."

"Don't want money? Do you want to form cavalry?" Xiaoeryi raised his eyes, "You don't want to use war to support war, do you?"

After Xiaoer's voice fell, the surroundings fell silent, the general's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't know how to answer the words.Among them, Shu Yinwei was the most shocked.

Yin Wei was originally a son of a noble family in Kyoto, and he was very annoyed when he was assigned to the tent of the young general Gao Wazi by the marshal.After all, at that time Butcher Gao's reputation was not obvious, he didn't have any outstanding military achievements, and he didn't know a few big characters... It wasn't until after the cavalry battle that he won more with less that Yin Wei recognized General Gao.

Later, General Gao incorporated more than 1000 horses snatched from the enemy into the cavalry, and took the existing cavalry to rob the enemy several times, and built a cavalry battalion. Yin Weicai was convinced by his general.

At this time, "to support war with war" was casually said by a young man from the countryside. How could Yin Wei not be shocked, and asked, "Madam also knows how to support war with war?"

Xiao Er didn't realize the deep meaning of the other party's words, and felt that it was normal to use war to support war, so he said, "Isn't it just to get the enemy's materials for his own use?"

"Uh..." As expected of the general's wife, she really knows.

Shi Lei's eyes lit up when he looked at Xiao Er, if Xiao Er turned to Shi Lei at this time, he would know what a fan.The straight-faced fellow said, "Madam, does the general want us to strip the enemy naked?"

"Pick off the dead man's clothes?" Xiaoer asked.Seeing a few people nodding, Xiaoer looked at Butcher Gao appreciatively, "Not bad, not bad, there is a way to make money!" He patted his butcher's shoulder as he said that to show his persistent efforts.

Seeing Xiaoer like this, Butcher Gao was overjoyed, but he knew that because he took the enemy's clothes off on the battlefield, the censors are still worried about it, and they would put them in front of the emperor whenever they had the opportunity to ask themselves whether they are gentle or not such as.

So, he tentatively asked, "Don't Xiao Er feel that I am disrespectful to the dead by doing this?"

"There's nothing disrespectful about that. Don't say you think there's bad luck on dead people's clothes, you don't know how many enemies you've killed, and it's too hypocritical to talk about bad luck." Seeing Butcher Gao shaking his head, Xiaoer smiled, " In fact, those close-fitting clothes are fine. I heard that Rongdi people wear cloaks or something, so take off the leather clothes on them, and we don’t wear them and keep them for making shoes.” As he spoke, he subconsciously looked at Butcher Gao’s feet.

Due to the hot weather, Gao Butcher and the others were all wearing straw sandals.In winter, the weather in the northwest is cold, even if soldiers wear linen shoes with thousand-ply soles, they will still feel cold.So Xiaoer said, "Butcher, do you have any fur?"

"What are you doing?" Butcher Gao saw that Xiao Er's eyes were so bright, and suddenly felt that he was worried that Xiao Er would look down on how stupid he was to pick up the enemy's clothes.

Xiao Er didn't care what he was thinking, just said, "I'll make shoes for you."

"You know how to do it?" As soon as the words came out, the butcher wanted to slap himself in the face, but Xiaoer not only knew how to do it, the shoes he made were cheaper than those made by Niu Niuniang.Thinking of these things, he hurriedly said, "I'm going to find you fur now, let's go back."

"Yes! Let's go back quickly, we also have fur here." If you don't have it, you have to have it!The military adviser with the most eyes didn't care to think about why the general's wife is so special, because she doesn't have to catch cicadas after she leaves.

And Xiao Er was very happy to see them supporting him so much, so he said, "No hurry, winter is still early, I will make two pairs for each of you later, let's find a hoe and a wooden barrel first."

The general's scalp went numb, "Xiao Er..." The military adviser, the vanguard, and the generals all cried.
