Chapter 121: Old Tricks

A strong body has always been the only way to adapt to a difficult environment.

This is the reason why Li Po persuaded Li Bi that only a strong physique can be invincible in this kind of long-distance expedition.

Of course, Li Po won't tell Li Bi that when he escapes, he needs a long period of physical strength, so to hell with those guys who only think about meritorious glory.

When the time comes, anyone who does not take this campaign seriously will pay a heavy price.

However, high-intensity physical training always needs adequate nutrition as support.

It won't be long in time, and when the time enters September of the seventh year of the great cause, it will be Li Po's turn to have a headache.

Because the food is getting worse and worse.

Beef and mutton, you can still see a star, but that's every once in a while, and meat is beginning to disappear from the soldiers' menus.

The most eaten can only be corn with pickles.

This is a direct consequence of the increasing gathering of the army, but it is not surprising that this is the most common food enjoyed by the soldiers of the Sui army who went out on the expedition.

And this is where the Central Plains Dynasty is strong, corn, which can supply a larger number of troops.

The steppe tribes in the north are not formed, so their army will never exceed a certain number, and the population is also limited.

However, now Li Po is not satisfied.

Corn? And then there are fat and strong men, who always eat this, they have to lose weight, and the weight loss effect is very good.

Especially after a lot of exercise, it is easy to get hungry, which can be done if the corn is enough, but the food of each army is rationed.

Every time, it is sent by the number of people in each dark department every month, and it is eaten up in advance?

The commander of the army will be punished by military law, and he will not let the soldiers all starve, but it is certain that he will be hungry and full.

If such a toss is made, the prestige of the chief officer in the army is likely to be lost.

Therefore, the matter of grain and grass has always been the top priority in the army, and it cannot be neglected.

And most of the rebellions in the army were born from this.

But the soldiers must not be stuffed with a stomach full of corn, and they must sweat in the cold, in that case, in a few days, half of the soldiers in the battalion will fall, and at that time, the mutiny will not be far away.

Of course, when corn and rice became the staple food, within two days, there was no need to fool Li Bi anymore, and he took a few people out for two turns, and found a place to slaughter cattle and sheep.

This place is very well guarded, and if you want to get some meat from here, you have to ask the guards of the Eagle Yang Mansion if they agree.

This is a fairly large slaughterhouse temporarily set up in Zhuo County today. This place is easy to find, and there will definitely be such a place, and there is more than one place, Li Po is very sure of this, because not everyone can swallow corn, the emperor can't do it, and the nobles can't do it. And he did find it very easily.

And this is still the royal slaughterhouse, and the meat that comes out is first supplied to the Linshuo Palace, and then it is the important ministers of the court, the general's mansion, etc., and then there are some generals in the army.

Some of the children of the gate valve with prominent family backgrounds will also come to fight the autumn breeze from time to time, of course, it depends on their relationship with the Yingyang Mansion.

Meat, now in Zhuojun, is definitely a good thing that costs more than gold.

Don't talk about Li Po, even if Li Bi comes, once or twice to get some leftovers, it will be okay, and if there are too many times, you will be looked down upon, because wolves have more meat and less meat, and you don't have your share at all.

However, depending on the request, the difficulty will be different.

Haggis is not welcomed anywhere.

Therefore, the slaughtering place raised a lot of dogs, and even some fierce beasts, each fat and strong, eating miscellaneous food is called a happy truth, and when it is fattened, it has become someone else's plate meal.

This slaughterhouse is very similar to that, it can be seen that there is no shortage of talents from all walks of life.

If you find a place, it's easier to say, Li Po repeated his old tricks, and first set up friendships with a few soldiers of Yingyang Mansion.

His pure Kansai accent once again became his weapon.

There are too many big people in Zhuo County now, and the soldiers of Yingyang Mansion are about to grow their eyes to their heads, but they will not easily offend people.

Li Poqin came a few times, and he was able to talk to the two big-headed soldiers.

sent another jar of Youzhou grain brew, and the two soldiers introduced him to two more officials.

At this time, Li Po directly took out the silver, exchanged a lot of water from here, pulled it by a carriage, and returned to the camp.

This is a long-term business, so Chen Sanlang is left here, helping others guard the door, and doing all the rough work and heavy work is covered.

Now the mouth is quite sweet, but it's a little nagging, just make the best use of things, and let the camp have one less mouth to eat, and by the way, keep the favor here, don't wait a few days, the people here have changed, and you have to start again.

It was easy to solve the problem of eating.

This is not a big deal for Li Po.

came out of the camp of the Mayi camp with great effort, it is estimated that it is not only him, even Li Chun, where he goes, it will not be a problem to eat a full meal.

The steaming haggis came out of the pot, and although it made the whole camp taste not very good, it quickly conquered the appetite of these rough men in a matter of days.

Li Biqiao fell in love for two days, holding the frame of the children of the family, and was reluctant to speak.

But in the end, I couldn't help it and tasted it secretly.

It didn't taste good, it was a certainty, but she quickly liked this kind of food as the oil and water in her stomach gradually decreased, and threw her reserve out of the clouds.

Every time she eats, she has to fill a big bowl, and she abandons the corn and rice, and she can only eat it with the miscellaneous soup.

In the winter months of the seventh year of the Great Cause, the other armies of Zhuo County had a hard time, only the soldiers of the Sui army who came from Ma Yi were full of red faces, deaf and bright, and their bodies were getting stronger and stronger.

The corn saved was generously given to several military camps next to it by Li Bi's generous Zhou Ji.

The icing on the cake is never as easy to be grateful as sending charcoal in the snow.

When the time entered October, the reputation of the Ma Yi Sui army in the Zuo Houwei Mansion was very positive.

Several generals who had benefited came to thank them.

In fact, for a long time before, several military camps around were smoked and I wanted to stay away from the people of Mayi as much as possible.

Now, the cannibal mouth is short, but he can only offer a smiling face.

Of course, when he spoke, he had to mention it jokingly, and he also had the intention of exploring the secret, but he was ambiguously fooled by Li Bi.

Eating those dirty things, although it tastes good when she eats them, and as the days go by, the taste gets better and better, but it still makes her feel a little ashamed to talk about it.

Moreover, this can also be said to be the only one of the Sui Army in Mayi, and it is a military secret, so how can it be easily given?

If Duan Wenzhen, the general of the Left Waiting Guard, asks about this in person, he can still talk about it, other people don't have that status or that friendship.

For Li Po, haggis is really a great contribution.
