my brother champion

Chapter 171 Wei family scandal?Huo Guang wants to root
The general's dining standard is definitely different from that of ordinary soldiers.

There is no doubt about that!

Since Huo Guang came to the barracks, he has been eating at General Wei Qing's, but he has never eaten the food of ordinary soldiers.

Now listen to Lin Yaoqing's suggestion.

Huo Guang also became interested, and said: "Okay, then ask someone to bring me a meal that ordinary military officers and soldiers eat."

heard.

Yan Xiao quickly shook his head and said, "Captain Huo, no."

"No? No what?"

Huo Guang frowned and stared at Yan Xiao, he knew that the more Yan Xiao was like this, the more something was going on here.

As for what it is?
simple!
It will be clear if he pierce it.

At this moment, Yan Xiao, who was questioned by Huo Guang, could only shake his head lightly, and said: "Lieutenant Huo, you are a captain, and what you should eat is the food that a thousand-level general should eat. There is no need to taste the military food of ordinary soldiers. !"

heard.

Huo Guang immediately said: "As a captain, you must have the determination to share weal and woe with the soldiers, but you just eat the same food as the soldiers, why not!"

Speaking of this.

Yan Xiao couldn't say anything more.

For a while, no one spoke.The atmosphere in the small tent became a little depressing.

It wasn't until the subordinate soldiers brought the food they usually ate in the barracks that Huo Guang opened his mouth and asked Lin Yaoqing, "Uncle Lin, is this the food?"

Lin Yaoqing stepped forward, looked at the bowl of food on the table, and after making sure that he hadn't used it as a sham, he nodded and said: "Yes, Captain Huo, this is the food, you can taste how bad it is! "

Huo Guang glanced at the meals of this ordinary soldier.

Subsequently.

Then he picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat, but Yan Xiao said again at this time: "Lieutenant Huo, it is good that you want to share weal and woe with the soldiers, but this food is really bad. You chew two Just swallow it, but don’t swallow it.”

"It's not easy to digest, it's easy to accumulate food!"

"Great people like us are not born to suffer this kind of fate, don't make it difficult for yourself!"

Your Excellency?Hehe, pretentious people are about the same.

Huo Guang shook his head slightly, ignored Yan Xiao's words, looked at the bowl of mixed grain rice in front of him, and was thinking about something in his heart.

What are miscellaneous grains?

Grain is.

But in the bowl of rice in front of him, it is not that kind of miscellaneous grains, but food with acrobatics.

For example brown rice.

This is a kind of rice that doesn't taste very good in rice.

But if it's all brown rice, that's fine. After all, brown rice is a good food in this era.

Han Dynasty.

The cultivation of rice is not considered as the main food crop, among which the mainstream is corn, which was the staple food in the pre-Qin period.

But corn is also the food that people eat in this era, so it is not unpalatable.

It's just that there is wheat bran mixed in it.

That's right!

It is the wheat from which flour can be made!
And let me explain that the ancient flour was off-white in color, not the current pure white.

This is rice.

As for the dish, it is boiled soybeans, even a little black.

Soybeans were also the main food of the Han Dynasty.

This is recognized all over the world, and the origin of soybeans comes from the Central Plains.

Looking at this kind of food, Huo Guang finally understood why Lin Yaoqingyan and the others said that the food eaten by ordinary soldiers was pig food.

such food.

Since he came to Chang'an, he has never eaten it again.

He frowned slightly.

Huo Guang picked up the bowl and chopsticks, took a bite and chewed carefully.At the same time, he still closed his eyes, as if savoring.

Actually tell the truth.

If there is no wheat bran in this bowl of food, it will be okay to eat.

After chewing carefully for a few times, Huo Guang swallowed the food in one gulp, and at the same time picked up the food with big mouthfuls, and continued to chew until he finished the bowl of food.

There was no hard-to-swallow color on his face.

After eating this bowl of rice.

Huo Guang looked at Lin Yaoqing and Yan Xiao, and said lightly, "It's okay, as long as this is in the ration, don't put that wheat in the future!"

"Even if hemp seeds are used instead, they are better than wheat."

"Of course."

"If you remove the wheat bran, you can't say no!"

Speaking of this, Huo Guang paused, thinking that wheat bran is actually one of the ancient foods.At the same time, it is also a very valuable medicinal material, so he went on to say: "If the wheat bran is cooked and rotten in a big fire, it is not afraid, but it is a pity that it is not done well."

"That's what makes it unpalatable."

"It's just that I don't quite understand why you call this pig food?"

"You know, what do the pigs I raised when I was a child usually eat?"

"Ha ha."

"I don't think you will be interested."

After Huo Guang finished speaking, a faint smile appeared on his face.At this moment, Yan Xiao and Lin Yaoqing didn't say a word.

See two people are silent.

Huo Guang asked again: "I'm curious, what did you eat when you grew up, and what kind of family did you grow up in?"

At this moment.

Yan Xiao said: "Lieutenant Huo, I have lived in Chang'an since I was a child. I don't know if you have heard of the Yan family. The ancestor of my family is Yan Ying from Qi State in the Spring and Autumn Period!"

Yan Ying?

Is it the top doctor of Qi who killed three scholars with two peaches!
That is indeed a historical figure.

However, Huo Guang is not sure whether the Yan Xiao family clings on purpose or not.But one thing is for sure, Yan Xiao did eat well since he was a child, there is no doubt about it.

Born in Chang'an, naturally, life will not be bad.

When Huo Guang was a child, in a small place like Pingyang County, it was commonplace to eat bran swallowed vegetables.

Therefore, although the food in this army is poor, he can accept it.

When Yan finished the novel, Lin Yaoqing said: "My ancestors were not born with any big names, nor were they born in a prominent family. When my father was alive, he was a knight-errant, and he didn't get much good!"

Can't eat anything good?
How can someone who can't eat anything good call this food pig food!

It can only be said that the situation of the Youxia family is worse than that of the nobles in Chang'an City, but it is definitely better than that of the poor common people.

After all, to put it bluntly, the ranger is doing the business of "taking people's money and eliminating disasters with people".

The rewards are not low, otherwise why so many people would join the ranks of rangers.

Do you really think they are fighting for justice?

Ha ha!

ordinary people.

Throughout the year, there is nothing more than corn, soybeans, and brown rice.There was porridge, but they couldn't eat it.

After the two of them reported their family background.

Huo Guang then nodded lightly, and said: "Understood, it's normal for a family like yours not to be able to eat this kind of food."

"anyway."

"This food is edible, but it does not meet the military regulations. It stands to reason that the money used by the court for the military should not be used to buy the most inferior food!"

"Being a soldier and fighting a war, among other things, who doesn't want to eat well?"

"But the food is so bad, the soldiers have complaints, and the captain understands."

"Then here comes the problem."

"Why is this food so bad? Is it eaten by the cooks in the army, or is it exploited by the court layer by layer, and the army can only afford this kind of food?"

Hearing this, Lin Yaoqing shook his head lightly, and said: "Who doesn't know what it has to do with the cook?"

Lin Yaoqing didn't finish his sentence.

Yan Xiao reprimanded: "Uncle Lin, be careful that the misfortune comes out of your mouth!"

After being scolded by Yan Xiao, Lin Yaoqing seemed to have thought of something, so he closed his mouth and remained silent.

But this is for Huo Guang.

Undoubtedly, his interest was aroused even more, so he asked, "Oh, do you still know the inside story? Why don't you dare to say it, just say it? Maybe I can solve this matter for you."

however.

After these words, Lin Yaoqing did not choose to tell what he knew.

Yan Xiao laughed at the side.

Seeing this, Huo Guang smiled inwardly, and said, "Okay, since you two don't tell me, then I won't ask. However, let me tell you, I will use all my connections to cancel the fine wine and food above the captain's level. I eat this common soldier's food."

"Including old generals like Cheng Bushi and Li Guang."

"I have to eat this kind of food, share joys and sorrows with the soldiers!"

"I suppose they wouldn't say anything, would they?"

There is no alcohol in the food above the captain, but there will be no shortage of meat and eggs.

Even the higher you go, the better you eat.

Veteran generals like Cheng Bushi and Li Guang were in charge of an army with five thousand cavalry under their command, so how could their food be poor?

So after hearing this!
Lin Yaoqing's eyes lit up first, as if he had discovered a new continent, full of anticipation.

But Yan Xiao had an ugly face, walked up to Huo Guang, and asked, "Captain Huo, this kind of thing is getting too big, it's not good. If you really want to know, I can whisper it to you!"

Whisper?

Huo Guang glanced at Yan Xiao curiously, and nodded after thinking for a moment.

then.

Yan Xiaopi came over, covered his mouth with his hands and told Huo Guang briefly about the matter.

however.

In an instant.

Huo Guang spat and scolded: "Wei family, you mean my uncle's family, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Yan Xiao's whisper just now made him very angry.

Good guy.

A bedbug came out of eating melon seeds, and the investigation found it on my own head!

Although he has no blood relationship with the Wei family, but because of his elder brother, he has only a strip of water.It can be said that it is a relationship of prosperity and prosperity, and loss and loss.

How can you tolerate the other party saying that?
Not to mention!

The Wei family is the most honorable relative in the Han Dynasty, and it is the family of Empress Wei, how could they do such a thing.

Hearing Huo Guang's swearing, Yan Xiao immediately said nervously: "Captain Huo, you have to keep your voice down, it's not a good thing for people outside to hear it!"

Not a good thing?
So it's a good thing for you to spread rumors?
What to say, Huo Guang would not believe that the Wei family would covet such a petty gain and withhold the army's food and pay!
then.

Huo Guang immediately said: "Don't talk nonsense here, I believe that the character of the general will not do such a thing."

"Also, how did you know this kind of statement?"

"Say it, don't tell me, the captain will punish you both first."

Seeing Huo Guang get angry, Yan Xiao just now regretted talking too much.

He didn't expect it.

One Captain Huo, one Huo Hussar, both brothers have the same temper.

Don't listen to flattery!
I obviously reminded him with good intentions, but why should I punish myself instead?

Thinking of this, Yan Xiao didn't dare to speak at once, the so-called words were so wrong, the best way is not to speak now.

He wasn't involved in it anyway.

Even if something happens, his family can keep himself.

At this moment, Lin Yaoqing, who had been promoted to Du Bo by Huo Guang, immediately laughed when he saw that Yan Xiao was afraid to speak, and said, "Captain Huo, if he doesn't say anything, I will!"

"Among the ordinary soldiers in the army, there are rumors that the deduction of food and pay was done by the Wei family."

"After all, there is Huo Huqi in the North Camp, and there is a General Wei in the South Camp."

"The army is the voice of the Wei family. How can we get away from the Wei family when something like this happens!"

"Of course!"

"I also believe that the character of the general and Huo Huoqi cannot do these things."

"Because there is no evidence, these are rumors circulating in the army."

After hearing these remarks, Huo Guang glanced at Yan Xiao again.

But Yan Xiao lowered his head and remained silent.

Huo Guang withdrew his gaze, and then said directly: "It's not a good thing to have such remarks in the army. Especially in this season when the Huns are about to go to war at any time, you can't be careless."

"So I've decided."

"Tomorrow, those high-ranking generals must also taste the food of this ordinary soldier."

At the side, Yan Xiao, who was silent at first, upon hearing this, quickly spoke to dissuade him: "Captain Huo, no, you'll make things worse if you mess around like this, and it won't be over at that time."

Huo Guang snorted and said with a smile: "What I want is to make things so big that they can't be closed."

"I want to see it!"

"It's He Fang Xiaoxiao, who is embezzling the military rations and planting the Wei family!"

Speaking of this, Huo Guang got up, walked to Yan Xiao and Lin Yaoqing, and looked around the two of them.

finally.

I was going to say something, but after thinking about it, I decided not to say it.He waved his hand and said: "Okay, I called you here to let you get to know each other. Since you are old acquaintances, then it's okay, go out!"

"promise!"

"promise!"

The two walked out of Huo Guang's camp of the school lieutenant one after another.

Just not long after.

Lin Yaoqing went back and forth, and walked back to the camp.

This made Huo Guang frown with some doubts, and asked, "Why are you back again?"

Lin Yaoqing clasped his hands and said: "Captain Huo, I think that instead of making things big and not ending well, it's better to wait for the general to come back and tell the general about it."

"You and I believe in the character of the general!"

"Why don't you believe that the general can solve this matter?"

Hearing Lin Yaoqing's advice, Huo Guang smiled slightly, very relieved.

But still unmoved.

First of all.

General Wei Qing was detained by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, and there was no one to count when he would return.Waiting for him to solve this matter, I'm afraid it will be unknown.

Second.

Huo Guang is not a saint, he is just a school lieutenant, he shouldn't care about the military rations.

Not in his place and not in his own affairs.

Who knows if this is someone in the army withholding military pay, or when the imperial court allocated funds, it was already being exploited layer by layer?
To know!
Up and down 5000 years.

Technology is advancing, but human nature has never changed.

It is quite normal to deduct layers from top to bottom.

This can be regarded as a very normal thing, just like the Jingshi warehouse in Chang'an City, where the food seems to be piled up at ordinary times, but when it is empty during wartime, the imperial court sends people to check, and it catches fire and burns everything.

What a classic thing!

The context is so clear.

It's horribly clear.

But everything is so grand, isn't it?
Therefore, Huo Guang patted Lin Yaoqing on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Actually, I didn't think about getting serious about this matter. If the captain was serious about this, he wouldn't have swallowed that bowl of food in front of you."

"Uncle Lin, as a school lieutenant, you know that I still have 100 people assigned to me by the general."

"The name doesn't live up to the reality!"

"Now in the South Camp, all affairs are controlled by those old generals, and none of the soldiers I want will be transferred to me."

"There must be a reason for this!"
