When the generals Long Yutian, Feng Tu, Sha Yuliang and Sima Yi arrived at the meeting hall, the fish pots in the hall had already been placed on the table.

“It’s well prepared!”

"Isn't it a carnival for all members of our military camp today? Huotou Camp has sauerkraut stewed fish tonight, and here we have a fish pot with so many vegetables and tofu."

Several people sat down while talking, smelling the gurgling aroma of the fish pot, several people swallowed their saliva, in addition to wanting to eat all kinds of delicacies in this winter, they still want delicacies.

A few stoves were placed in the corner, making the meeting room very warm, as if it were a different world from the ice and snow outside.

"Hey, in this winter, where did your mother get so many vegetables?"

You must know that in the north, when there is no greenhouse, if you want to enrich the winter dishes, dried vegetables are generally the main ones, and the rest are cabbage and radishes, which are long-lasting vegetables.

Xia Jing didn't keep them waiting for long, she came back from the outside, took a hot bath in the courtyard where she lived, changed into a robe, and came to the meeting hall with Li Chengmu after her body warmed up.

"Meet the Empress!"

"I have seen His Royal Highness!"

Xia Jing glanced at everyone, and said with a smile: "Get up, let's treat it as a family feast today, everyone eat and drink as much as possible, to reward the body that has been exhausted for several months."

Long Yutian stood up according to the words, sat back on his seat, laughed and said: "Your Majesty said that it is true, you have to take advantage of the winter to get a lot of nourishment, so that your body will not be able to resist next year!"

"Today, there is no distinction between rulers and ministers, so please use your chopsticks without being polite." Xia Jing motioned for everyone to eat.

In winter, everyone is greedy for green leafy vegetables. Li Chengmu put some spinach in the pot and asked while boiling it: "Mother, it's winter, how did you grow this spinach?"

After hearing this, everyone looked at Xia Jing, and they were also curious about how such tender vegetables were grown?

Xia Jing has been greedy for spinach for a long time. In the past, all kinds of green vegetables matured in turn all year round in Lingnan, but it is a luxury to eat green vegetables when coming to the north.

"Plant this spinach in a basket, put it on the kang, and let people take good care of it. It takes about days to grow a crop. It is very precious, everyone, don't waste it."

Li Chengmu took a bite first, "Well, it's delicious! Queen Mother, the spinach grown in the north is more delicious than the one grown in Lingnan. This one has a sweet taste, not astringent."

"It's cold in the north, so of course it's delicious. Didn't you find that the cabbage and radishes grown in the north are sweeter?"

"Don't say it, it's true." Li Chengmu nodded after thinking for a while.

Long Yutian picked up a piece of tofu and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, it's all thanks to your mother that we can eat tofu. It's you who taught us how to make tofu. Otherwise, who would have known that ordinary beans could make such delicious food?" What about the food?"

"The superintendent is right. If it weren't for the empress to lead us to live a good life, we still don't know where to eat chaff and swallow vegetables!" Sha Yuliang echoed. He fell in love with the empress, otherwise he would not know where he would be nesting with his family now.

According to his ability, he may not be able to starve his family, but it is very difficult to live a good life.

Xia Jing was very happy that everyone remembered her well, so she raised her glass and said, "It's not as serious as what you said, everyone, stop thinking about bitterness and sweetness, come and have a drink!"

Xia Jing doesn't know how to make baijiu, but she can't drink the wine of this era, so she asked the cook to steam it out of glutinous rice and ferment it into sweet wine.

Not to mention that although the alcohol I made is a little lower, it still has a special flavor.

Ding Dazhuang drank a glass, wiped his mouth and said with a smile, "Deputy General Sha is right. We are all lucky enough to get together, and we all depend on the empress. However, we now have wine and meat, and live a happy life." , It’s something I didn’t even dare to think about before!”

Sha Yuliang: "It's really delicious. If you eat this pot in winter, even if you come back from playing in the snow outside, you will feel warm after eating a few mouthfuls of this pot!"

"Deputy General Sha likes to play with snow? How do you play?" Xia Jing looked at him with a smile, which reminded her of a sentence: "A boy is a boy until he dies!" '

Sha Yuliang lived in the north since he was a child. Boys were naughty when they were young, and they must have played a lot of tricks.

"Skiing, skating, snowball fights, and sometimes digging out bird nests when I have free time!"

Xia Jing's mentality is younger than her age. After hearing what he said, her eyes lit up, "You know how to skate and ski, how about your skills?"

Sha Yuliang scratched her head: "It's so-so."

Xia Jing raised her eyebrows: "So-so? Generally, people who say this are very skilled!"

Li Chengmu put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and said, "What my mother said is very true. Lieutenant General Sha's skiing skills are superb. Don't be humble in front of my mother."

"That's good!" Xia Jing thought of a possibility and looked a little excited.

Sha Yuliang chuckled: "Your Majesty, don't blame your subordinates for being playful!"

"No, how is it possible!"

Xia Jing waved her hand, she was too happy, how could she feel that he was playing tricks.

"Taking advantage of the heavy snow these days, Vice General Sha will teach the soldiers who can't ski to ski."

Everyone was taken aback.

Long Yutian confirmed it for Sha Yuliang: "Your Majesty is serious?"

Xia Jing nodded: "Of course, this kind of thing is not a joke!"

Long Yutian felt that Xia Jing would not do useless work, so he asked: "My lady asked everyone to learn to skate, but what is the purpose?"

Xia Jing glanced at the generals sitting at the bottom, and smiled mysteriously: "You will know when the time comes!"

Everyone: "."

They want to say don't keep it secret and tell everyone.But when they thought of Xia Jing's identity, they could only suppress their curiosity in their hearts.

After dinner and back home, Long Yutian asked Sha Yuliang about the style of the skis, and mobilized the soldiers overnight to make them.

Soldiers living in the north more or less have their own ideal style of skis in mind, while soldiers in the south follow the example of the soldiers in the north. As for whether it will work well, I don’t know for the time being.

After Xia Jing learned about Long Yutian's movement, she drew a picture of the snowboard from her previous life and asked Ye Fei to send it to Long Yutian.

Follow the pattern she drew, even if the weight of the boards is different, you can only make do with it, as long as the skis can ski.

In the daytime of the next day, many soldiers gathered on the hillside outside Pingyang County, happily practicing skiing as they were when they were children, while the soldiers from Lingnan fell on the snow after skiing not far away. slightly inferior.

Fengzhang didn't know the situation outside the city, so after breakfast in the morning, he asked the servant to hand over a greeting card to the county government.

Xia Jing received the greeting card and glanced at it, then threw it aside.

Seeing this, Ye Fei asked, "Your Majesty, don't you plan to see him?"

Xia Jing straightened her bun and robe, and after hearing Ye Fei's words, she said, "I'm going to practice skiing in the morning, if anyone comes looking for you, you can help me move back until the afternoon!"

"Yes!"

Ye Fei saw Xia Jing bring out a pair of skis from the bedroom, the color is snow white, but I don't know what kind of material it is?

He confessed to the servant next to him, and quickly followed Xia Jing.

"Your Majesty, are you skiing to be the King of Kids?"

After hearing what he said, Xia Jing burst out laughing with a "puchi", and finally held back her smile, nodding her head no choice: "That's right."

Xia Jing threw the skis to him, and said with a smirk: "When you get to the suburbs later, don't always stand by my side, you should learn by yourself, don't let me slip away, and you will still wrestle on the spot!"

Ye Fei: "."

He wanted to say, Madam, you underestimate people, but he is from the north. Isn’t it easy to ski since he was a child, so he doesn’t need to learn how to ski well like him.

What Ye Fei said is not a lie, but most of the people who survived the difficult years of fleeing were mischievous and smart when they were young, and this kind of children grow up to be relatively more hands-on.

Sha Yuliang's teaching also verified Ye Fei's point of view.

Sha Yuliang taught for a whole morning, only the soldiers in the north skied well, but the soldiers in the south all stood up and fell, fell down and stood up again, and so on and on. After practicing all morning, the soldiers in the south could barely move around. achievement.

Otherwise, he would doubt his teaching level.

After Fengzhang received the reply, he heard about the situation outside the city, so he hurriedly greeted his boy, asked him to prepare some food, and picked up his skis to go out, and set off to the ski resort on the outskirts of the city.

Just walking to the ski resort in the outskirts, he was stopped by soldiers on the periphery.

"My lord, don't let them in." The boy said with a bitter face, they are now ordinary people in Yuzhou, a military important place, how could they be allowed in.

Fengzhang looked at the countless little black men in the snow on the hillside in the distance, helplessness flashed in his eyes.

"Go back if you can't get in!"
-
After exercising in the snow in the morning, and returning to the county government office, Xia Jing took a bath and took a nap, and reluctantly left the warm bed when she heard the report of Mr. Feng's visit.

After washing up and drinking the tea made by Ye Fei, Xia Jing looked at Feng Zhang who walked in with his head held high.

"Meet the queen empress at Xiafengzhang, I wish my empress good luck and prosperity, and eternal youth!"

The voice was mellow and pleasant, but Xia Jing signaled lightly: "Excuse me, sit down."

In fact, she is afraid of this person in her heart, and only this person can get close to her without disturbing her and not let her find out.

"Thank you, ma'am." Feng Zhang smiled slightly, lifted the corner of his robe and sat in the lower seat.

When the servants served tea, he cupped his fists and said: "I know that your empress is in Pingyang County, so I will take the liberty to visit you today. If you disturb your tranquility, I hope you will forgive me. This is the first time I came to visit and brought a small gift. Into the eyes of the empress."

Saying that, he took out a gift list from his sleeve pocket.

Ye Fei took it and inspected it and put it in front of Xia Jing if nothing abnormal was found.

Xia Jing gave him a slightly unexpected look. In Lingnan, she rarely received gift lists from powerful local families. When she came to the Central Plains, there was still a difference.

No, Feng Zhang's gift is not light, the tea cloth alone is enough for her to wear and drink for three to five years.

There are also some dry goods and medicinal materials that are worth the old nose's money. If you want to give it away, you will give it away.

Xia Jing's downcast eyes flashed with interest, she closed the gift list, and looked up at Feng Zhang: "Such a precious gift, I deserve it."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and said nothing nutritious.

Feng Zhang noticed that Xia Jing had stretched to the limit, so he got up to say goodbye tactfully.

After he left, Xia Jing asked Ye Fei puzzled: "Why did he come? Could it be that he really just came to visit?"

Ye Fei glanced at the doorway where there was no one there, and expressed his thoughts.

"Today he came to give you a big gift. He seemed to have nothing to ask for, but in fact he has a lot of plans. This visit is just for the chance to get to know you. He wants to get a few waves of goodwill in front of us before we stand firm. "

Xia Jing looked at him in surprise, and praised: "That's right, even his hidden thoughts were revealed by you."

After hearing her words, Ye Fei was even more excited than Xia Jing: "Your Majesty also agrees with your subordinate's point of view?"

At the same time, the servant who had already gotten into the carriage outside the county government office also asked, "Why didn't you express our feelings to the queen, my lord?"

Today's generous gift was wasted in vain, and in the end, the eldest son didn't dare to let go, and missed this opportunity for nothing.

Feng Zhang glanced at him, then turned his gaze out of the window, "Seeing the Queen's alienated attitude today, I know that what I'm chasing is not a sale, but a cheap sale! For the sake of comfort in the future, I think it's better to forget it."

In the evening, several generals gathered in the meeting hall again, and the kitchen prepared a lot of delicacies.

After the meal, everyone sat down to drink tea and chatted about the situation in Jizhou and Youzhou.

Feng Tu asked: "Mother, Jizhou soldiers and horses stay in a small county on the border. They have always focused on defense and never took the initiative to cause trouble. They completely treat us as air and have no awe at all. After the spring, we will send the rebels After rushing over, what do you think will happen to them?"

"What will happen is that they are captured and rescued by us." Sima Yi took over the words: "If it's not for the ice and snow, I have to find something for them to do, so as to feed their appetite!"

Xia Jing's eyes flashed fiercely, she was neither angry nor annoyed, she chuckled lightly: "You have practiced skiing hard these few days, when you can easily control the skis, then we will surprise the rebels in front and let them You have to get up and run for your life even if it is ice and snow, otherwise don't blame them for being cruel and ruthless!"

In such a situation, the rebel army rushed into the Jizhou area without a leader, to see how much family property, how many troops and supplies does Xiao Qi have?

In all honesty, the governor of Jizhou didn't take the imperial court seriously enough, and he dared to ignore Xia Jing, the queen, which shows that he is arrogant and arrogant in his usual actions!
When Long Yutian heard the news, he suddenly looked up at Feng Tu who was sitting beside him, and then looked at Xia Jing in shock.

"Your Majesty wanted to launch a surprise attack in a snowy day, but Jizhou's soldiers added some more, maybe because he had money or a lot of supplies, he didn't have to ask to come before the court, so he dared not respect the queen, dare to be arrogant and domineering!"

Xia Jing nodded: "Speed ​​is the most important thing in soldiers. Our surprise attack on skis is faster than horses. It can catch them by surprise. If they don't want to be wiped out by us, they can only flee to Jizhou."

At that time, she wants to see how the Jizhou soldiers and horses will respond?
Also, what is the combat effectiveness of Jizhou soldiers and horses?Compared with the soldiers and horses you lead, who is stronger and who is weaker?
