Chapter 28 Escorting Grain and Grass
"Chen Li, why do you know so much? We are both about the same age." Hou Chun was riding on the horse at this moment and said to Chen Chu next to him.
The Mulan behind her was slid and her ears eavesdropped on her.
Chen Chu smiled and said, "What's there to say about this? Isn't it obvious? Don't ask anymore. Ask a talented person, ask a genius boy."
Otherwise, if you get 660 in the liberal arts exam in the college entrance examination, will you play with?
Is the little prince of chess in Beijing Normal University playing with you?
Let’s learn about the recognized tailor master in the Lion Heart Kingdom?
In the Middle Ages, so many noble ladies and girls wanted to see my needles. Have you never seen them?
This made Mulan very angry and thought that no matter how much you know, you can't beat my mother's three moves.
But Chen Chu didn't know what Mulan was thinking, otherwise she would have said that Mulan would have learned bad things from those gangsters in the barracks in the past three months and would have called herself my mother.
"Ah, it's really amazing!" Hou Chunpai clapped his hands and said perfunctorily.
【Tsk, it’s not like not saying it.】
Chen Chu: ""
They went there to transfer some food and grass from Huaishuo Town.
Generally speaking, it would be less dangerous if they just escort the food and grass, so Lao Tie asked them to take on the escort task of Building 6. Anyway, the lieutenant handed it over to him, with a total of two, a total of 22 people, plus the 20 people in the baggage battalion, a total of 42 people were enough.
Besides, there is nothing better than Mulan in his subordinates.
Originally, the baggage battalion was a little unhappy to lead the escort with two young boys who had just joined the army, but when they saw Chen Chu inside, they immediately smiled happily.
Why?
Because the soldiers of the baggage battalion are generally weak, with the lowest combat power, and have always been looked down upon by other battalions. Moreover, Chen Chu's previous operations have helped them a lot, and they probably handed over the pulleys to them for themselves. With this, they can save so much labor. Who else can I thank Chen Chu for?
Although it is not from his own baggage camp now, who can say that it will not be the case in the future?
The head of the baggage battalion is one by one, and the baggage battalion is divided into two battalions. He is one of them, named He Maocheng, who happens to be the nephew of their sixth master.
The He surname is also considered a major surname of the Han people in the Xianbei, so it has some status in the army, and of course it is still not as good as the original Xianbei nobles.
For example, the third building that Duwei Heganzong brought them back before.
He Maocheng did not hide his appreciation for Chen Chu along the way. He asked Chen Chu repeatedly whether he wanted to come to the baggage camp. Although he could only give him a small position, he could not resist the possibility of making money here, which was safer than charging into the battlefield.
Chen Chu still kindly refused the other party.
When they arrived at Huaishuo Town, they lived in the inn. He Maocheng took a few of his confidants to ask for food with documents. Chen Chu had nothing to do, so he went shopping with Mulan in Huaishuo Town.
As for the two or three veterans under him, they said it and then they didn't know which alley they had quietly turned into, Chen Chu was too lazy to care about it.
After all, seeing the other person familiar with each other is like going home.
When he returned to the inn in the afternoon, Chen Chu bought some daily necessities. The weather gradually became colder. Chen Chu also bought some fabrics and planned to go back and make a piece of clothes for himself and Mulan.
Otherwise, what should I do if Mulan catches a cold?
If you have a cold, you may get inflamed. Once you get inflamed, you will definitely have a fever. What should you do if you have a fever of more than 40 degrees?
So prevent problems before they happen.
They also lived here in the evening. He Maocheng had already agreed with the other party that he would go to pretend tomorrow morning. It took one and a half days to come. It would take about two days to go back. There was a time limit for them to come out, and they would have to beheaded if they were postponed.
Anyway, six days are enough.
In the evening, Chen Chu quietly sent some tricks to the postmen and asked them to get some boiled water. Chen Chu took the boiled water to Mulan and asked the other party to take a shower.
Of course, the reason I give myself is that I will get sick if I have too many dirty things on my body.
Mulan accepted it with some surprise. She didn't expect Chen Chu to think so carefully. OK, now she has a lot of favor.
The next morning, Mulan felt refreshed, but found that Chen Chu was already brushing her teeth.
I took out my pig hair brush, got a little salt water and started to brush my teeth carefully and gently.
"Oh, it's bleeding." Mulan frowned and looked at the blood on it.
"I'm getting angry, I've drunk more hot water recently." Chen Chu said vaguely.
Suddenly he thought of what the horse dealer said when he was selling horses with Chen Bazhan, and he couldn't help but spit out all the water in his mouth and laughed.
"What's wrong?"
"No, it's okay."
After everyone came out, they drove to load the food.
But when he walked to the door and He Maocheng asked the guard to go in and report, the guard suddenly said that the adults were not there and they could not stay there and could not let them in.
Now everyone is in a mess.
"What do you mean?" He Maocheng said directly.
"Sir, it's not that I won't let you in. If our lord is not here, I'm just a guardian!" said the guard with a bitter face.
"Haha, I came to adjust the food on the order of Lord He Zhuang, which delayed the meal of my brothers. Do you believe that 6,000 people blocked your door?" He Maocheng said directly.
"Sir, don't make things difficult for me!"
"You are making things difficult for me, right?" He Maocheng kept putting hats on the other party.
Anyway, if you can't go in, you can't go in. It took half an hour to go.
Just when He Maocheng was about to suppress his anger and a superior was about to rush in, a fat man in an official uniform came to the door.
"Haha, what do you mean?" He Maocheng didn't even want to call him the other party's name. Although the other party's official position was greater than his, he was not worth it at all.
"Deputy Master He, I'm really sorry. Last night, I've been in the cold and I've been going to prescribe medicine." As he said that, he glared at the guard in front of the door: "What a waste! The soldiers in front of him are guarding the border, and the adults come to adjust the grain. If I'm not here, I'll ask them to come in to load the grain. If there is a delay, can you afford to take care of it?"
The guard did not speak, but knelt down and began to kowtow and admit his mistake.
He Maocheng was so angry that his eyes were furious, but the other party's words were useless to him.
Just waved his hand and took the people in to load the car.
The food for 6,000 people was filled with forty people all day, and they didn't have it until evening. The main reason was that the other party said that the people on their side were sent out to collect the food. Now is the season for harvesting the food, and there is really no way.
Chen Chu finally leaned against the car with soreness and back. Looking at He Maocheng, what was the conflict between the two of them?
Although the other party dared not delay the time for transporting food, it was possible to delay it slightly and feel disgusting.
But then he thought about it again and again, He Maocheng was just a battalion deputy, and when he got to the other party's identity, he probably had a conflict with the master of He Zhuang.
But it has nothing to do with him, he is just a small body.
I dare not delay the night now. They left the city overnight and rushed to the road. Three days have passed. If something goes wrong when they go back, their heads will all fall to the ground.
In the middle of the night, around the hour of Yin, it is the time when everyone relaxed their vigilance.
Hou Chun was talking with Chen Chu in a mess.
"Brother Chen, why do you think they don't give us food?"
"How can I know about this? What are our soldiers guessing about the adults?"
"Brother Chen, then when will we be able to get Rouran back? I want to go home. I have been away from home for more than four months."
"Oh, I don't know, live well. Who can tell the truth about the things on the battlefield?"
"Brother Chen, you said it was late at night. Could anyone have attacked you?"
Chen Chu heard the punch and hit the other party's head, and said angrily: "Are you talking nonsense?"
Hou Chun hugged her head and shed tears silently.
Chen Chu was almost angry to death. At the foot of Black Mountain, you said first. Are you unwilling to accept it if you don’t see me dead?
"Swoosh!"
