Chapter 223 Military rations(1/2)
On the seventh day of the 10th month, Marshal Liu's "first seventh" is also the day of funeral.
Liu Xu, the third son of Marshal Liu who was "serving the disease", finally showed up.
The teenager was no longer the arrogant and reckless temperament he had before, and he lowered his face and calmed down.
Everyone was not surprised when they met.
The Liu family has been in trouble in the past two months, and it is time to grow up. If they don’t grow up, they will be heartless.
But when the boy saw Tu San, his expression was like a frightened chicken, which made people sigh in his heart.
Tiger father, dog son.
Although Liu Da and Liu Er both have shortcomings, they are all people who can pick up their words and actions. Liu San really can't hold on to his demeanor.
In order to rush to the road, the funeral team started gathering.
At the second update, the army was about to leave Lingshui County.
Not to mention the honorees such as Huo Bao and the Ma Village Master, the leading figures of the Bozhou army all gave Marshal Liu this last journey.
Marshal Liu's survivors, one wife, one concubine, one son, one daughter and one granddaughter, and the daughter Liu, the outsider, are all among the funeralists.
Marshal Liu's coffin was selected from the Bozhou army with five hundred strong men, divided into five squads, each squad with hundreds of people taking turns carrying the coffin forward.
...
October is already early winter.
Although the climate in Huainan is pleasant and does not make you feel frost, you will feel cold sooner or later.
In the quiet late night, the sound of horse hooves and footsteps were heard.
Everyone was rushing to the middle of the night to arrive at Chushan before noon.
It is now a rule that except for the funeral that can be buried in the afternoon, everything else must be buried in the morning.
Marshal Liu was in his early fifties and died of an acute illness, so he was not satisfied with a happy and joyful demise.
Huo Bao put on a small cloak, rode on the horse, and looked at the flames in front of him.
The marching speed is not slow.
If you maintain this speed, you should be able to reach Chushan at the beginning of Si.
When the camp is buried at noon, everyone will be able to bid farewell to the Bozhou army.
It was too late to rush back to Jinling today, and the soldiers were tired when they traveled far away. They happened to rest in Chuzhou for a day, and set off for Jinling the next day and will be able to arrive at Jinling on October 12th.
Huo Bao was thinking, but he heard the horse camp leader next to him sneeze heavily.
Seeing this, Huo Bao hurriedly looked over and saw the leader of the village with a veil and wiped his nose, and hurriedly said, "Uncle Six, it's very windy at night, are you better get in the car?"
During this trip, the Chuzhou Army brought several carriages, equipped with rituals, and prepared them to take a ride.
While speaking, the master of Ma Village sneezed twice in a row and said, "The climate in Huainan is not as good as that of Jinling, so it's cold if you say it's cold..."
When Shuijin was beside him, he also advised the Ma village master to take the car.
The horse leader was impatient with the bumpy carriage, but when he saw Huo Bao's thin body, he was not relieved and greeted: "Then I'll take the car, Xiaobao will come with him..."
I am afraid that Huo Bao will feel uncomfortable after eating the night wind.
Huo Bao did not refuse, turned over and dismounted, helped the horse leader get on the carriage.
The carriage was very spacious, with two small corner lights hanging and several pillows hanging.
Not to mention that two people are sitting, even lying is enough.
It’s just that the road is bumpy, and you really have to lie down and turn it into a pancake.
"Your uncle... let's get away in the future!"
The master of the village said softly.
It is said that people are not close to each other, but in the eyes of the Mazhaimaster, they did not think about these things.
He thought that his relationship with the Huo family father and son was closer than that of Tu San.
Huo Bao also thought this way in his heart, nodded and said, "Well, there shouldn't be much dealings in the future..."
Historically, it took more than ten years for the court to fall apart today.
Even if the butterfly's wings are now sporting its progress and speeding up, it will take three or five years to achieve success.
After leaving Lingshui County for about ten miles, the mountain road started, and the carriages were even more powerful.
The leader of the village helped the guard beside him, grinning and said, "Damn, your butt is two pieces! I won't come out next time, so I will enjoy my cat in Jinling in the future!"
Huo Bao's chest was stuffy and remembered something, and he pulled out a small box of candied fruit from the small box under the lamp.
This is what Xiuxiu asked people to prepare.
They are all pickled with plums, one is red plum and the other is green plum, which is said to be anti-motion sickness.
It's just right now.
"Uncle Six, give it!"
Huo Bao opened it and handed it over.
The master of Ma took two pieces and put them in his mouth. He was so sore that he was much more comfortable: "Good thing, Xiuxiu, this daughter, is meticulous!"
Huo Bao also took two pickled plums and put them in his mouth, and nodded and agreed: "Little adults, it's rare to be comprehensive!"
The leader of the village looked at Huo Bao and raised his eyebrows and said, "The Han family has formed an alliance with your uncle... Guess what the alliance is? What does the Han family do, so be sure to hand over the lives of the tribe and thousands of people to your uncle?"
Huo Bao was silent.
If it is someone else, it may be difficult to guess.
Is the Han family?
What we can think of through in-laws and in-laws is probably the only one who can believe in it.
The only one who has no son is left, Liu wants to keep his father filial.
At this time, it is just right for the Han family to "get their wives as daughters", and it is not right. I can only say "got their wives as daughters".
I heard that General Han’s eldest daughter is in her prime.
Huo Bao couldn't help but frown: "That aunt..."
No wonder Liu's behavior was different when he saw him this time. Most of the time, he knew about this and had the idea of adopting a son.
The leader of the village said: "Without Marshal Liu as his backer, Liu doesn't care about his vanguard's character... he will only be a virtuous wife in the future..."
The leader of the village was not gossipy. After saying a few words, he used this to remind Huo Bao, and then shut up and squinted his eyes to calm down.
Huo Bao couldn't help but think of the controversy about the funeral.
Are the first few sons of Taizu born from Queen Yuan?
Various expert research results have been obtained from various kinds of results.
No matter what that, the Liu family in this world is really difficult to have children.
Here in Tu San, the nephew has not appeared yet, and the parent-child has not yet settled, and there will be some unstable things in the future.
But that's been many years later.
...
There were 6,000 troops in Chuzhou, 6,000 troops in Bozhou, and dozens of carriages and supplies.
The team set out from the second day of the day and stopped for a while until the fifth day of the day.
After most of the process, the soldiers' strength was consumed almost the same.
The marching stoves were all set up.
Tu San asked someone to send ten trucks of food over, and the leader of the Mazhai Village asked someone to accept it, but the one who was eating the "instant noodles" brought by the Chuzhou army.
It is indeed "instant noodles", but there is no step of frying, but it is roasted.
There are white flour and mixed noodles.
Add the prepared conditioning pack and boiling water, and it will be prepared in a quarter of an hour.
After a while, the fragrance of noodles was filled with the Chuzhou military camp.
"Tsk tsk! We really can't eat enough military rations! I've been greedy for this in Lingshui Camp these two days!"
"Yes, after eating this, I really don't like porridge anymore!"
"What kind of porridge is also divided into porridge? The convenient porridge that Xiao Bao asked someone to study is also delicious!"
"That's true. There is meat inside, so how can it not be fragrant?"
The soldiers were satisfied with their food.
The Bozhou Army next door looked pitiful with an empty bowl and waiting for the porridge to cook.
"What does it smell? It smells so fragrant?"
