~~~~~~~~~~
On the north bank of the Yellow River in Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan Province, at the camp of the Xuanzhen Army in Yujiadian, and in the tent of the Chinese Army led by Zhang Cheng, the general of the Henan Aid and Suppression Army, Chen Jiugao, who had been praised, looked smug.

He raised his chin and said: "Brother Zhang, you are not vulgar, you are already a leader among the generals in the border town. I also admired you when you killed Yuetuo when you were king last time. I really wish I could fight slaves side by side with you, brother." .

This time to aid in the suppression of Henan Province, when we first arrived in Henan Province, we overwhelmed Dengfeng traitor Li Jiyu with tens of thousands of horses. From my point of view, Brother Zhang, you are not inferior to me. "

Zhang Chengben intends to take the opportunity to make friends with him, so he followed Chen Jiugao's voice and said: "Brother Chen, you don't know something. When I was in Yanshi, my brother, although I failed to save Luoyang, I also saved the life of the son of Fufan." .

And my younger brother, I still have a surprise army outside the city of Luoyang. As long as the army of intruders leaves Luoyang and goes to attack other places, they will be able to recover Luoyang overnight. "

When he said this, he looked at Chen Jiugao with meaningful eyes, and said: "If brother doesn't dislike it, how about we join the army and fight against the intruders together?"

Chen Jiugao's heart was already full of joy. He came to look for Zhang Cheng so eagerly this time. In fact, he wanted to use Zhang Cheng's strength to gain some military merits in this rescue campaign. Although he arrived, he said this slowly. Do not export.

His face was full of pride, but he said very calmly: "The deputy general Fu Yingchong of the Shenji Camp Qian Battalion, you can say that I am a young boy, and he has a very deep relationship with me.

This time he was ordered by the emperor to come to Yu Province to suppress bandits, so he secretly lent me ten of the Shenwei Great General guns in the battalion, in addition to many other large and small artillery and rocket vehicles.

Today in my younger brother's battalion, I also saw many artillery carts, small cannons such as tiger squats and mortars, and some portable Franglers.

How about this, brother, when I saw brother Zhang today, I fell in love with him, like an old acquaintance, I feel very kind, this face, I must give you, brother. "

His face became serious, he looked at Zhang Cheng and said: "Brother Zhang, my army will be one with you, you just need to resist the bandit army in front, my cannons and rockets are flying together, it will be called He will collapse without fighting!"

Zhang Cheng saw that he spoke so seriously, and compared himself to retreating so aptly, he also felt emotional in his heart, "This Chen Jiugao is indeed a master of making friends, he is really thick-skinned!"

He just thanked Chen Jiugao for his kindness.

Chen Jiugao said even more triumphantly: "Friendship is just one of my abilities. My most powerful ability lies in strategy and military training and other military affairs."

Although Zhang Cheng felt in his heart that Chen Jiugao's words were probably his own bragging, but on the other hand, he also knew that there were some real generals in the Beijing camp.

For example, the Sun Yingyuan, Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong and other generals mentioned just now were all personally selected and trained by Cao Huachun, the head of the internal supervisor who was the chief inspector of the emperor Bingbi, the eunuch who supervised the Dongchang, and the chief admiral who supervised the Beijing camp.

Cao Huachun was originally the former residence of Emperor Chongzhen, and he was the most loyal to him. The brave guard camp he formed when he was ordered to supervise the Beijing camp also produced a large number of fierce generals. He performed particularly well in the battle against the bandits, and many of them were not even weak. Yu He Renlong, Zuo Liangyu and others.

It's a pity that the Ming Dynasty is over, how can these generals turn the tide?

And Cao Huachun was even more wronged. In February of the 12th year of Chongzhen, he was allowed by the Emperor Chongzhen to return to his hometown on leave, but he was still rumored to open the door to welcome Li Zicheng, the king of Chongzhen, into Beijing in the 17th year of Chongzhen. People still believe this rumor.

Although Zhang Cheng was expressing emotion in his heart, he said with great interest: "Brother, why don't you tell me something."

Chen Jiugao, on the other hand, looked carefree and indifferent, looking around the military tent, talking about other things from left to right.

It was only then that Zhang Cheng had an epiphany. He slapped himself on the forehead and said, "I'm the one who is confused, really confused!"

He said that he hastily called in a soldier, ordered to prepare food and wine, and to hold a banquet in honor of Chen Zongbing.

…………

Soon, the banquet was ready. Although it was impossible to prepare a lot in the chaos of war, Zhang Cheng bought a lot of pigs and sheep from nearby counties and villages to slaughter in order to encourage everyone to fight against the bandits and boost morale for the upcoming war.

Now there are well-made grilled pork face, roast sheep face, etc. on the table, all of which are generally crispy and tender, fragrant but not greasy.

Because the new year is approaching, a lot of pigs and sheep were slaughtered today. Although dumplings are not easy to make, buns are much simpler and less troublesome, so the whole army eats buns today. There is also a plate of steaming meat on Zhang Cheng's wine table steamed stuffed bun.

In addition, there are several small cold dishes and several large bowls of stewed meat. There are delicacies and fine wines are even more indispensable.

Even Chen Jiugao never imagined that the food in Zhang Cheng's army was so luxurious. He thought that the troops in the Beijing camp he brought didn't have such food, not to mention that it was still in famine-ridden Henan.

Before he sat down, he looked at the delicacies on the table and sighed: "Brother Zhang, you are really a god. You can enjoy this kind of food when you are marching and fighting, but it is better than my brother and me, the chief soldier of the Beijing camp." Do you want to be strong?"

Although he sat down at the table with such emotion, he still expressed his embarrassment: "There are so many drinks and dishes, I'm afraid you and I can't finish them all!"

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Cheng said with a smile: "Brother Chen, you are afraid that the outside world will say that I, Zhang, drink blood from soldiers."

The smile on his face grew stronger, and he continued: "Brother, it's okay to eat. All the soldiers under my command have meat today, and everyone eats big meat buns."

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Chen Jiugao was even more surprised.

In fact, when he entered Zhang Cheng's military camp, he was already amazed, especially after seeing the formation of the chariot camp. Those carriages and chariots were not only heavy and solid, but also equipped with artillery and rockets.

He was already an expert in this, so he could tell at a glance that although the cannons were smaller, they were lighter and easier to use, and he also saw that they were all extremely well-made, not comparable to shoddy ones.

At this moment, he was even more surprised to hear that the sergeants in today's battalion also ate meat, and even human meat buns. He thought to himself: "No wonder Zhang Cheng's soldiers are all high-spirited, so they were raised like this !"

Zhang Cheng and Chen Jiugao chatted happily in the military tent.

Although Chen Jiugao is a noble descendant, he has been away from the capital for a long time. At the beginning, it was easy to get supplies in the capital, and he didn't feel any inconvenience in eating, but it became more and more difficult once he entered Henan.

Although he wasn't going to starve, the quality of the food was getting worse day by day. Seeing that Zhang Cheng's pig face and sheep face were made extremely exquisite today, he couldn't help but gobble it up for a while.
