82_82388After the victory at Huangshiling, the Black Dragon Army did not take advantage of the victory to attack Xingyuan City, one of the reasons is that the walls of Xingyuan City are strong, the terrain is dangerous, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Another reason is that the grain and grass of the Black Dragon Army are already insufficient, and the grain and grass consumed by the 400,000 Black Dragon Army every day can be piled up into a hill. The grain and grass brought by the Black Dragon Army before the expedition has bottomed out, and the follow-up grain and grass have not yet arrived, so the army can only wait for the arrival of grain and grass while resting.

All the generals and officers in the big tent of the Chinese army were present, and everyone's faces were a little heavy.

"Young marshal, when will the grain and grass arrive?" Mo Song broke the silence in the big tent and asked.

"The Grand Duke... The young marshal will send people to urge every day, and it has been five days in a row, and the army transporting grain and grass should be able to arrive soon. ”

Without waiting for Gu Baoyi to speak, the old Miao on the side responded.

"Didn't Admiral Qi just send 200 carts of grain and grass the day before yesterday? Did you eat it up so quickly? Gu Haotian on the side asked in surprise.

The generals in the tent all smiled bitterly and shook their heads when they heard Gu Haotian's words.

"Is 200 carts of grain and grass a lot? It's barely enough for a day. Gu Baoyi looked at Gu Haotian and smiled bitterly.

"Ahh It's so delicious! Gu Haotian stuck out his tongue in surprise, and then he understood after thinking about it, an army of 400,000 people, one pound of grain per person, also needs 400,000 catties!

"Young marshal, can you borrow some more grain and grass from Admiral Qi?" Yue Lin asked with a look of hope on his face.

"Admiral Qi is working hard to raise food, but how can the small Ishihara City support my 400,000 Black Dragon Army, this is not a long-term solution!" Gu Baoyi sighed.

"Hey, hey! I have a way to make it last a few days. Gu Haotian looked at the sad faces of everyone and smiled.

"Oh! Haotian, what can you do, tell me about it! Gu Baoyi asked with a look of surprise on his face.

The rest of the generals also looked at Gu Haotian with anticipation, and after the victory of Huangshiling, the generals were completely convinced of Gu Haotian.

"When I went to Huangshi Ridge a few days ago, I saw that the mountains were full of wild vegetables, so I could let the army go to the mountains and dig wild vegetables to eat." Gu Haotian grinned.

Gu Haotian's parents died early when he was a child, and he lived by digging wild vegetables, although he was later adopted by Bai Laodao, but the two of them did not eat less of these wild vegetables.

"Wild vegetables?" Everyone looked at Gu Haotian suspiciously.

"Ahh Second son, you let the army eat the weeds on the mountain? The old miaotou asked suspiciously.

Listening to Lao Miaotou's words, everyone looked at Gu Haotian with a wry smile, this product doesn't want to raise the 400,000 army as cattle and sheep!

"It's not weeds, it's wild vegetables!" Gu Haotian hurriedly corrected.

"Isn't it all the same name?" Gu Baoyi said depressedly.

"The grass that can't be eaten is the weed! Edible grass is called wild vegetables! Gu Haotian was suddenly full of black lines, and patiently explained to the generals.

"Alas! That's it, this son is in a good mood today! Let's popularize the knowledge of survival in the wild! Follow me! Gu Haotian looked at the suspicious faces, and got up with a helpless sigh.

Gu Baoyi and the others glanced at each other and hurriedly walked out of the big tent, and then followed Gu Haotian to ride their horses towards Huangshi Ridge.

"This grass is called purslane, and it can be eaten with hot water and soup..."

"This grass is called wolfberry head, and you can eat it after using boiling water soup..."

"This is the mother-in-law, and you can eat it with hot water soup..."

"This is gray cabbage, just eat it with boiling water and soup..."

"This is a yam, dig out his roots and cook them and eat them..."

"It's called hairy taro, and when cooked, it can be eaten as a staple food..."

......

Gu Haotian took the generals to Huangshi Ridge and walked around, explaining to everyone as he walked, and everyone was skeptical at the beginning, but then he saw that Gu Haotian explained carefully and carefully, so he remembered it seriously.

"Mo Song, Yue Lin, Wu Meng, Qiu Ping, and Cheng Qi, the five of you, each brought a hundred soldiers to dig the wilderness... Wild vegetables, let's taste this wild grass tonight! ”

After everyone followed Gu Haotian around the mountain for more than an hour, Gu Baoyi instructed Mo Song and the others.

"No!" The five of them excitedly received the order, and then turned over and galloped towards the camp, and they felt very curious about the matter of digging wild vegetables.

Looking at the few people who were leaving in a hurry, Gu Haotian shook his head with a wry smile, and when he was about to get on the horse, the old Miao who followed behind him asked with a smile:

"Second son, how did you know so many wild vegetables?"

Gu Baoyi was also stunned when he heard this, and looked at Gu Haotian with a puzzled face. Gu Haotian, as the second son of the Zhenguo Mansion, has never even been out of Kyoto City, how could he know this?

"In our place, even children of a few years old know wild vegetables, and when I was a child, I dug these wild vegetables almost every day..."Gu Haotian smiled proudly, and said smugly, but halfway through speaking, he suddenly woke up, and he was too happy to shake out his old bottom.

Gu Baoyi shook his head helplessly and rode towards the camp, Gu Haotian's words just now seemed to Gu Baoyi to be perfunctory and made up, he really didn't want to pay attention to this thing anymore, otherwise he wouldn't know what crazy words to say!

The housekeeper Lao Miao glanced at Gu Haotian in a daze, and then rode his horse to chase after Gu Baoyi.

Seeing that the two didn't ask, Gu Haotian breathed a long sigh of relief, and looked deeply at the back of the old fox a few times, Gu Haotian was a little uncertain, I don't know if the old fox noticed something.

In the evening, Mo Song and others returned to the camp with 500 sergeants and more than 100 wagons.

Gu Haotian instructed the sergeants to wash these wild vegetables, and then personally taught the Huotou Army how to make wild vegetables, and they were very busy for a while.

"Wow! It tastes good! ”

"It smells so good!"

At dinnertime, the entire barracks was filled with admiration.

"Haha! I didn't expect these wild... Wild vegetables are so delicious, I'll take someone to dig them early tomorrow morning! Wu Meng held a piece of woolly taro and nibbled on it, and said inarticulately.

"This wild vegetable all over the mountains is enough for my Black Dragon Army to eat for a few days." Gu Baoyi said with a smile.

"Big brother, starting tomorrow, don't give meat to the soldiers of the slaughtered pigs, cattle and sheep, squeeze their meat into oil, and fry wild vegetables with oil to eat, so that it will be fragrant!" Gu Haotian looked at Gu Baoyi and smiled.

"Squeeze the meat into oil?"

Everyone looked at Gu Haotian suspiciously.

Gu Haotian didn't bother to explain to them, he just said that he would teach them to squeeze oil tomorrow, and then he simply ate something and hurried back to the military tent.

"Alas! I'm finding this kid getting more and more unpredictable. Gu Baoyi looked at the old miaotou on the side and smiled bitterly.

"The two sons grew up watching the old slaves, and the changes in the second son are indeed not small, and the old slave guesses that these things were taught by his mysterious master." The housekeeper Lao Miao said with a smile.

"Mysterious Master?" Gu Baoyi looked at the old sprouts suspiciously.

"A few days ago, the exercises used by the eldest prince to heal the old slave were also taught by the second son! The second son not only cured your dark disease, but also taught the exercises. If the second son doesn't have a master, then how did his cultivation come about? ”

"Oh!"

Gu Baoyi nodded in a daze, and then fell into deep thought.

"Alas! ... What kind of medicine are these pills, and can you take them? ”

Gu Haotian looked at the more than ten bottles of pills in front of him in distress and muttered to himself.

These pills were all obtained from the purse of a middle-aged scribe, but Gu Haotian didn't know these pills, so he didn't dare to take them rashly, so he could only watch.

"Forget it, if there is poison in it, then Lao Tzu will be miserable." After thinking for a while, Gu Haotian sighed secretly, waved his hand and put more than ten vials into his purse, and took out a few jade slips and used his spiritual sense to investigate.

Some of these jade slips record the exercises of cultivation, some record the names and functions of various elixirs, and some record the strange stories of the Heavenly Punishment Continent.

Gu Haotian didn't care about those ghost control exercises at all, and Gu Haotian only took a cursory look at the elixir jade jian, only those anecdotes made Gu Haotian fall in love.

"Damn! It turned out that the three empires of Dayu, Da Tang, and Daxia were just three small countries in the Heavenly Punishment Continent, and the three empires were secretly supported by the three immortal cultivation families. Gu Hao investigated the jade slip in the sky and couldn't help but curse rudely.

After a long time, Gu Haotian withdrew his spiritual sense, and a trace of determined light burst out from his eyes.

I can't stay in the Dayu Empire for a long time, I should go out and travel in order to find a way to go back, because there are too many people and things in my previous life that I can't let go.

After Gu Hao made up his mind, he let out a long breath and stood up, seeing that the sky was already bright, he stretched his waist and walked out of the military tent.

"Second son, the young marshal asked me to call you and let you go to squeeze oil."

As soon as Gu Haotian walked out of the military tent, he saw Wu Meng hurrying towards him.

"Ugh!"

After Gu Haotian smiled and nodded, he followed Wu Meng towards the big tent of the Chinese army.

Towards noon, a strong fragrance wafted out of the fire camp, and everyone couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of spit. When the meal was opened, the whole camp was boiling, and Gu Baoyi, Lao Miaotou and all the generals were eating wild vegetables cooked in oil with relish, and they were amazed while eating.

In the afternoon, Gu Baoyi personally took people to Huangshiling to dig wild vegetables, Gu Haotian didn't plan to go, but was dragged by Gu Baoyi and others.

Celestial City

In the garrison mansion, Kong Zhiyuan paced back and forth with a sad face, after the battle of Huangshiling, the Xia army suffered heavy losses, and even the military divisions with the army were killed, thinking about the cruelty of that Tianxuan demon girl, Kong Zhiyuan couldn't help but be afraid.

After Kong Zhiyuan returned to Xingyuan City, he arranged the city defense to prevent the Yu army from taking advantage of the victory to attack the city, and at the same time asked for help from the Great Xia court.

Time passed day by day, to Kong Zhiyuan's surprise, the Yu army did not come to attack the city, Kong Zhiyuan not only was not happy about this, but he was even more worried in his heart, thinking that the Yu army must be brewing something big.

"Report! ...”

While Kong Zhiyuan was meditating, the herald ran in from outside.

"But the Yu army is coming to attack the city?"

Kong Zhiyuan hurriedly asked eagerly.

"Enlightened handsome! According to the Tanmalay report, the Yu army has run out of food. ”

"What? Out of food? ”

Kong Zhiyuan was anxious and picked up the herald from the ground.

"The Yu army has been out of food for many days, and the 400,000 troops have all begun to eat weeds, and the weeds on the entire Huangshi Ridge are almost eaten up by the Yu army."

The herald replied cautiously.

"Is the message accurate?" Kong Zhiyuan asked with a happy face.

"Accurate!"

"Haha! Good! As soon as the reinforcements arrive, Ben Shuai will completely sweep away the Black Dragon Army! Kong Zhiyuan looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.
