The Song Dynasty conquered the Xijin Prefecture of the Liao Dynasty, which was a major victory, especially when it was won before the Chinese New Year, which made the soldiers who went to war proud. Zhao Zhen attached great importance to the sense of honor of soldiers, and soldiers lived on a sense of honor.

The current soldiers have a very different root than before, and it is just about this seemingly trivial or even invisible.

After all, most of the 100,000 troops who went to the expedition were soldiers rather than recruiting soldiers. Material rewards such as military pay were already small. When the Northern Expedition was still at the end of the year, the homesickness in his heart became even more urgent, but Zhao Zhen happened to use this to improve the greatness in the hearts of the soldiers.

As the end of the year approaches, the army has taken over the Xijin Mansion, Yanyun’s important location. This sense of honor and mission has stirred up the hearts of the young soldiers. Even if the army is spending the New Year outside, there is no complaint. Instead, he feels that he is very great and noble. Even Xia Sheng, a serious military supervisor, laughs happily every time he meets soldiers, he greets them kindly, which is completely different from the nobleness he used to be.

With the arrival of the New Year, the army's pace suddenly stopped. There was no way, even Zhao Zhen could not let the soldiers fight during the New Year. At least, let the New Year pass safely.

Cai Boqi and Bao Zheng's team rushed all the way to Xijin Mansion. The two still complained to each other inconsistently. Their speed was a bit slow, and they had only barely caught up with the food and supplies to Liangxiang.

"Hey! I wouldn't have equipped them with a carriage if I had known it! The speed was really fast, and I almost didn't catch up. Old Man Xia must blame me!"

Bao Zheng laughed so much that he turned to Cai Boqi and said, "How come you have the attitude to say such things? People use slow horses, but you, a good horse that claims to be a big food, can't catch up with you? It's because you've been wasting too long on the road. I said that those businessmen and supplies will spread the auspiciousness of Tokyo City over there. You have to show off there, otherwise you would have caught up with the convoy!"

Cai Boyi held the reins with one hand and pointed at his nose with the other hand, "I show off... I show off?! How can you say such things with a shame? I just use your free speech when you arrange the manpower! Every time you go to the place, you have to arrange those officials, and go directly to the Tianjin Mansion as I say. After the New Year, I will take errands from the official family and then go to various places. Isn't it better if I say you are a black face, it's almost impossible to be a son of humanity when the New Year is coming!"

Bao Zheng's face was not dark, but rather a white-faced scholar. But in Cai Boqi's opinion, he felt as if everyone owed him eight hundred yuan, so he naturally called him that.

"Hmph, what do you know? The more things come in the New Year, the more things happen. The wars on the land that was recovered by my Song Dynasty must have been remanded. All the officials in my hands are diligent, and they will be able to manage the local government in an orderly manner. Besides, they are voluntarily going there, so I have not forced them!"

Cai Boqi sneered at Bao Zheng's explanation: "I also volunteered to go... I want to hide from you!"

"You... are unreasonable!"

"You are unreasonable! Okay, don't say so much. Liangxiangcheng is ahead. You and I should be able to catch up with the convoy. Anyway, I will take a rest when I get there, right?"

Bao Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, I'm tired after a long bumpy ride... This is Yangou City, which was not called Liangxiang City. It was first established in the Qin Dynasty. It was named because the people and things in this place are good. Houxian County moved to the west bank of the Holy Water. During the Five Dynasties, Zhao Dejun built Yangou City in the current place in order to prevent the Khitan robbery. He was ignorant of learning!"

Cai Boqi was a little happy with Bao Zheng, but was blown up by his last words. He pointed at Bao Zheng for a long time and couldn't speak. Finally, he snorted angrily and rushed towards Yangou City, causing Bao Zheng to shout behind him to slow down...

Peng Qi was ordered to come to pick up the materials dispatch. Even he did not expect that the supply of the Song Dynasty was so fast. This time the supply convoy was huge, with more than a thousand carriages completing the supply needed by the army in one go. The speed was so fast and the number was unprecedented!

The entire Yangou City was filled with supplies, and all kinds of pickled meat were piled up in a corner of the city like a hill. It was so hard to see the people watching the saliva. This was only one-fifth of the meat, and the rest was not transported in the car.

Not only meat, but also vegetables and dry foods that are conducive to storage and transportation. The favorite food in the army is pork stewed with vermicelli, which is beautifully cooked in a large pot, enough for a commanding soldier to eat.

Peng Qi looked at the children staring at the hill tightly and swallowed the meat, sighed a little and said to the personal soldiers beside him: "Give some meat to have a safe New Year for the people here..."

The soldiers looked at Peng Qi and said, "What should I do if there is another town..."

Peng Qi glared at him: "This is fate, who made them fail to catch up..."

The reason why Liangxiang is called Liangxiang is because the people here are kind-hearted, and objects are second. After all, the things made by people who are kind-hearted will not be bad. This is also an important reason why the Song Dynasty regarded this place as a material distribution center. Even if the people starved to death and were not stealing military supplies, they would not steal military supplies. For them, Liangxiang's reputation is more important than their lives.

Only the child looked at the food innocently and swallowed his saliva while biting his tongue...

When a pot of fragrant pork stewed noodles were placed on the street, the sound of the children could not stand it. The sound of the gurgling saliva was like a frog by the pond, which made the eyes of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty and the servants who transported grain sore.

When the Khitans attacked Liangxiang, they burned down the local granary to cut off their retreat, but at the same time they also left disasters for the people.

Although the Song Dynasty took over the city defense here, there was no surplus of food. Only when the food and grass were crossing the border could the supply be obtained. The defenders here did not dare to use supplies independently and could only save some support from the army to support the local people. However, the people here were too determined, and many people starved to death and were unwilling to beg at home... When they were discovered, they had already become stiff.

Peng Qi's move attracted many people. He stood on the table and shouted: "This is the reward from the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. You can eat it to your heart's content. Don't worry about anyone saying anything. This is the reward you deserve!"

The respected old man Su looked at the big pot of thick oil and red sauce rolling and the white rice, and asked in a trembling voice: "How can the people of the Song Dynasty be rewarded by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty?"

Peng Qi laughed and said, "My father-in-law is joking. Liangxiang has been taken over by my Song Dynasty. From now on, you will be my Song Dynasty people. Soon there will be officials coming to register you. The list of the county governments in Liangxiang has become my Song Dynasty. In the future, we will have to pay grain and taxes to me Song Dynasty!"
