Chapter 1166: Bacon

Everyone has value, but if you want to measure it by price, it is uneven, sometimes this price is overwhelming, sometimes it is only worth a piece of bacon.

Because of the cutting down of trees, so there is no shortage of firewood, although most of them are half dry and half wet, but when the big head soldier is not particular, plus it is in the wild, more smoke may not be able to smoke away some mosquitoes or something, so once the stove is lined up, when the fire is started to cook, there is always thick smoke billowing, people walking in it, just like in the clouds, looming, quite a bit of fairy.

Or maybe it's a little demonic......

But for Qu Chang, who was arrested last night, he didn't care about the fairy or demonic energy, he only stared at the big piece of bacon in front of him.

Compared with later generations, the Han people obviously prefer fatty meat, and do not like lean meat, if the later generations feed lean meat pigs, in the Han Dynasty is not able to sell much price, so the Han people choose to make bacon, most of them are with thick fat pork belly.

After processing, cut into strips about four fingers wide, and then smeared with salt, or pickled, or air-dried, or smoked, there are many ways to deal with it, but the most important thing is to quickly dehydrate the meat strips, let the salt brine taste, and stop the spoilage of bacteria and fungi.

Therefore, the processed bacon is not only shelf-stable, but also rich in fat and more importantly, high in salt!

And for the poor lower class people of the Han Dynasty, bacon, which was full of fat and salt, was indeed the greatest and most wonderful taste they could imagine in their lives......

As Qu Chang, although he also has some privileges, he is not like a big-headed soldier who may not be able to smell some meat all year round, but as the sun rises, his vision gradually recovers, and Qu Chang, who has seen more details up close, can naturally understand the gap between the soldiers of Zhang Lu's army and the soldiers of this general Zhengxi at this stage.

They are all well-dressed kudzu robes, very strong, not at all like the thin material on their bodies that is immediately torn apart as soon as something hangs on them, most of the armor is iron armor, and there are even people with scales that have an iron sleeve on their entire body, even on their arms!

As for those elite blade weapons or something, not to mention......

The behavior of Fei Qian, the general of the expedition to the west, has become a glittering trench brother in the eyes of Qu Chang, what the hell is he thinking about, abandoning the identity of the local army, and immediately turning his head to the Central Army!

What's more, there is a big bacon slice to eat immediately!

Dark red and translucent, crystal clear, dripping with oil, fragrant chunks of bacon!

Even if you make a long song, you will only eat a few pieces as big as your finger during the New Year's Festival, where can you eat such a fat one early in the morning like General Zhengxi......

However, slander is slander, or envy, jealousy and hatred, Qu Chang also understands that this piece of bacon is not eaten for nothing, or whether he can continue to eat it depends on his subsequent performance.

"I'm a hairy old Zhang!" Qu Chang stood beside the wooden frame outside the military village, waved his hands, and shouted towards the military village, "Hey! Check it all out! I'm shaking this day! Look at this garment, new, Bashi, not at all! Look at this melon baby......"

Qu Chang, who claimed to be the hairy old Zhang, grabbed a soldier who also surrendered with him, and asked loudly: "Gua Wazi!" Say, what did you eat just now! ”

The soldier was also clever, and immediately shouted loudly while gesturing: "Bacon slices! Such a big piece of cord! Warm, fragrant, sweet and dense slices of meat! Oh yes! ”

"Listen to them all! Listen to them all! Even this melon baby has a big meat slice to eat! The hairy-footed old Zhang continued to shout, "Think about what you guys ate this morning!" So a big slice of bacon! Don't talk about you, even Lao Tzu thinks like a Ding Ding cat on weekdays, and his eyes are green......"

Seeing that Qu Chang was jumping and screaming in front of the military village, Fei Qian couldn't help laughing, and turned his head to ask Xu Huang, "What is that Ding Ding cat?" Jingle Bell? A green-eyed cat? ”

Xu Huang shook his head and said, "Yujunhou, I don't know either...... Probably......"

Because of the shouting of the surrendered troops, Fei Qian temporarily postponed the crossbowman attack, and someone gradually appeared on the military village with half-pulled heads, and then more people's heads began to shake.

Fei Qian also knew that letting the soldiers shout under the military village like this may not be able to make the people in the military village rebel immediately, but it is more or less a seed planted in the hearts of these people, and when it is really about to fight, the soldiers in these military villages can have such a thought, saying that if they surrender, will they be the same as this Qu Chang, and then their subordinates have a little less strength to resist, which is enough......

Morale is a very mysterious thing.

It stands to reason that Fei Qian has been blocked in the watershed for three days now, and drinking water or something has already entered the rationing system, and each person is limited every day, so it should be demoralized, but Fei Qian did not find any signs of demoralization among his soldiers.

After listening to Qu Chang's shouting, Fei Qian understood a little in his heart, in fact, it was very simple, sometimes he would unconsciously use the standards of later generations to measure the needs of soldiers in the Han Dynasty, but in fact, Fei Qian's current treatment of soldiers is quite high, so his tolerance for some predicaments has also been relatively improved.

Very simply, the dissatisfaction with the lack of sufficient fresh water was made up for by other pleasures, especially when I saw the much miserable Hanzhong soldiers, and after knowing that even a Hanzhong Qu Chang was not as well fed and clothed as his own ordinary soldiers, the original dissatisfaction in my heart was probably thrown away at this time.

Why was he a soldier in the Han Dynasty, fighting on the battlefield with his head, except for some ambitious people who felt that they were brave and intelligent, and wanted to gain fame on the battlefield, most of the soldiers were just to eat and have some military salaries, so Fei Qian's treatment of soldiers was naturally very attractive.

Of course, in battle and in normal times, the food and other supplies of the soldiers are completely different things. At the time of the battle, the whole army ate basically the same meals, even Fei Qian, at most plus some side dishes brought by the guards, but on weekdays, there is a difference between the top and bottom, and the degree of food and clothing is clearly differentiated.

Qu Chang jumped up and down and shouted, compared with Qu Chang, the military village was quiet, no one replied, and there was no movement......

It's kind of weird.

Forget it, no matter what the situation, you have to do it head-on.

Fei Qian turned his head to look at the last section of the wooden bridge that was rushing to work behind, and said, "Gongming, the wooden bridge will be completed today...... Tomorrow, we will capture the military village! ”

………………………………

In the watershed military village, there are indeed some unexpected situations......

Yang Bai didn't pay much attention to the jumping and jumping Qu Chang, because his brother Yang Song actually disguised himself as a guard and quietly ran to the watershed!

"Brother!" Yang Bai subconsciously glanced left and right, lowered his voice and said, "Leaving without reason, this is a big crime......"

"Nonsense!" Yang Song replied indifferently, "Otherwise, I'll pretend to be a guard?" Okay, let's say okay, I'm recuperating in Hanzhong now......"

"Huh? Oh......"

"Oh what, oh, look at what you are guarding is called, they are all about to be built on the wall of the wall!" Yang Song said unceremoniously, "What about the archers?!" Where's the rolling stones?! I said, haven't you read the military book, how do you feel more and more going back......

"Brother!" Yang Bai couldn't cry or laugh, and pointed to the crossbow arrows that were still deeply rooted in the stone wall on the wall, and said, "Look at what these are, if it weren't for the fact that Zhengxi sent someone to shout today, he deliberately shook the army's heart...... If it was the old days, as long as it showed its head, it would be 'poof'......"

"Hiss......" Yang Song couldn't help but shrink his neck, "So accurate?" ”

"Kick the crossbow! At least five stones! Still elite soldiers! Yang Bai was also a little afraid, glanced at the situation under the village, and confirmed that he had not found the crossbowmen of Zhengxi, so he poured bitter water out, "Damn, I have never seen such a siege in my life...... Do you know how many crossbows there are, brother, at least more than fifty or sixty! Just set up and aim at it, whoever shows his head will die, and even the shield will shoot through you! The rolling stones and wood are also released! He also sent someone to burn it...... Where, where are the people now...... I said brother, how do you say you can stop it?! ”

"Hmm...... It seems that the expedition to the west is good at fighting, and what he said is true......" Yang Song listened to Yang Bai's complaints, not only did he not worry, but nodded, "Kick the crossbow, this thing is expensive...... As far as I know, there are only 50 in the Hanzhong arsenal, and many of them are damaged...... As for the private collection in Hanzhong Dock Fort, there are three or five pieces in one household, and at most more than ten pieces are remarkable...... But Zhengxi alone can take fifty or sixty sheets, tsk......"

"There must be more than fifty or sixty shots," Yang Bai said, "The crossbow is powerful, but the winding is slow, you know this, but these crossbowmen in the west, after firing one shot, can immediately shoot the second and third shots...... So no matter how many people there are, I can't fill it...... This expedition to the west, if there is no extra crossbow ready to take turns to wind, it will not be able to do this at all......"

"Okay...... Yang Song Youzai looked at it carefully, and slowly had some calculations in his heart, "...... Since the soldiers of the general Zhengxi are well-equipped and brave and good at fighting, I am also relieved......"

Although the above are all pluses, the most important thing is that Yang Song actually heard that General Zhengxi was willing to give these big-headed soldiers who had just surrendered bacon slices to eat, and he heard that it meant that it was not a meal or two, and there would be one in the future, so he couldn't help but move in his heart.

What does this mean?

It shows that General Zhengxi will not be stingy!

As long as he is willing to give his subordinates meat to eat, rather than the kind of leader who only cares about eating meat for himself and his subordinates don't even have soup, he is a good leader in Yang Song's eyes......

"Huh?" Yang Bai didn't react, right?

"Come here with your ears......" Yang Song beckoned to Yang Bai and whispered two words in Yang Bai's ear.

Yang Bai's face changed suddenly, his eyes widened and he said, "...... Brother, is this true?! ”

"Hey! It took me a lot of money to get the news......" Obviously a little painful about the money spent, Yang Song twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "How can I earn back the money I spent, so that I won't lose money...... Now is the best time to do it......"

"Brother, this is a ......" Yang Bai was still a little hesitant.

"You're here, I'll go! You just need to control the soldiers in the military village for me, don't miss a big thing! "If it is an ordinary war, Yang Song will roll as far as he can, and he doesn't want to get involved in it at all, but where is the war in front of him, it is clearly a big business, a splash of wealth, and when will it be before it is rushed?

Yang Bai blinked, looked at Yang Song, and then looked at the wooden frame that was about to spread to the military village, and nodded silently.

………………………………

"You are Yang Song, Yang Mengmao?" Fei Qian looked at Yang Song in front of him. I didn't expect that tomorrow I would be ready to attack the military village, but in the middle of the night, such a person ran out, saying that he wanted to surrender, which is really ......

"Exactly down there." Yang Song replied with a smile.

To be honest, Yang Song's three long beards are fluttering, and his appearance is not bad, is it obscene...... If you laugh and squint your triangular eyes, you will have a somewhat amiable appearance.

There was silence in the tent.

Li Ru shrunk in the leather robe, his face was in the shadows, but he seemed to be slowly touching his beard, but he couldn't see any specific expression.

Xu Huang had a calm face, his face was like water, I don't know if he was a little dissatisfied with the plan that had been prepared tomorrow, he pressed the handle of the ring head knife, and sat motionless, as steady as Mount Tai.

"Want to surrender?" Fei Qian looked at Yang Song again and asked.

"Exactly."

"......" Fei Qian pondered for a moment, then suddenly slapped the table and shouted, "Bold! How dare you surrender! Come on, drag it out, cut it! ”

"Oops! Checkmate! It's not a scam! Yang Song was shocked and was about to jump, but was pinched by Huang Xu and dragged out......

"General! General, so-and-so is not a fraudulent surrender! Ah, it's not a scam...... Alas, pity my twenty taels of gold......" Jansson cried out as he struggled.

Fei Qian stared at Yang Song.

Well?

Didn't look up to the sky and laugh and then laugh at me or something else?

In this case, could it be that it really fell?

"Bring it back!" Fei Qian beckoned, and then glanced at Li Ru.

Li Ru still didn't make any big moves, just sat aside, nodded slightly, and then smiled without saying a word.

In a trance, Fei Qian suddenly sighed, oops, it's really not easy......

After so many years, the tiger's body was finally shaken, and someone was willing to bow their heads!

Although it's just a Yang Song, it's a start after all, isn't it?

Well, yes, this one can have ......

Thinking of this, Fei Qian suddenly felt in a good mood, smiled and looked at Yang Song, who had a snot and tears on his face, sat back on the table, shook the armor on his body very much, and then said warmly: "Meng Mao is not strange, I am also careful...... By the way, Meng Mao said twenty taels of gold, what is going on? ”

"Uh......" Yang Song, who was wiping his face with the sleeve of his robe, shook his hand, then put it down, sighed, and said, "Don't dare to hide it from the general...... Twenty taels of gold is a piece of news that is being bought......"

Yang Song looked left and right, gritted his teeth, and didn't know if he had made up his mind, or if it meant that such news worth twenty taels of gold would be exposed in front of so many people like this, it was a pity or something," ...... Yizhou Mu is seriously ill! I'm afraid it won't work! ”

"What?!"

In the big tent, including Fei Xian, his heart suddenly jumped!
