Chapter 330: The Sorrowful Xu Jingzong
The soldiers are very fast, so the time of the long-distance run every day was extended by Li Jing for an hour, and it was only two hours, but the two-hour rapid march was definitely the greatest challenge for any soldier, and the lack of grass and water would make this dilemma even more serious.
After all, Jia Yi is a person who has been on the battlefield, although he also feels very tired, but he is still suffering hard, but as Xu Jingzong, who is on the battlefield for the first time, he almost has no urine and blood, and he can bear it a little a few days ago, but when the fourth day of the rapid march, Xu Jingzong finally couldn't stand it, crying and begging Jia Yi to slow down and let him take a breath.
Seeing Xu Jingzong's tearful pleading, Jia Yi's face did not have any sympathetic expression, but his face became darker than the bottom of the pot, Xu Jingzong's state at the moment can already be regarded as disturbing the army's heart, and he can be directly executed, but Jia Yi's murderous Tang people are still a little unbearable, although this person is a big yin person, but he is still a Tang person after all.
"Xu Jingzong, General Ben gives you two choices, either continue to put up with me, and the whole army will correct it the day after tomorrow, or be beheaded by General Ben now, so that you can rest forever."
When Xu Jingzong heard this, the miserable cry just now suddenly stopped, he thought that Jia Yi was a soft-hearted person, as long as he pleaded with Jia Yi, he would definitely be able to understand him, a recruit who went to the battlefield for the first time, and give him some preferential treatment, but he didn't expect Jia Yi, a person who was a good person to give smiling faces everywhere in Chang'an City, after going to the battlefield, he was like a different person, just looking at his cold eyes, Xu Jingzong knew that Jia Yi's words were really not a joke.
"Well, then I'd better bear with it." Xu Jingzong is the most precious of his own life, but he will choose the direction that is most beneficial to him, and in the process of choosing, he will continue to change the direction until he finds a goal that can make him live and then go to the end, at this moment he knows that if he does not follow the first path that Jia Yi said, it will inevitably be an ending of being hacked to death, compared to dying, suffering two days is a fart.
Just when Xu Jingzong was about to leave, Jia Yi's tone finally softened, and said to Xu Jingzong: "Old Xu, the most taboo thing on the battlefield is to disturb the morale of the army, pay attention in the future, you are under my account, if you are replaced by General Li, you have become a dead man now." ”
When Xu Jingzong heard this, he bowed deeply to Jia Yi, didn't say anything, turned his head and walked out of Jia Yi's tent, and went back to his carriage to rest.
The next two days were a great test for Xu Jingzong, as a literati, he had been bumped for four days, and every bone in his body had begun to emit painful **, he used to think it was a pleasure to ride in a carriage, but now he wanted to run two steps on the ground to stretch his muscles.
Two days is a test for Xu Jingzong, and it is also a test for the soldiers, many soldiers' inner thighs have been rubbed and broken by the saddle of the war horse, but under the strict order of the general, they can only tie a pair of thighs with a thick cloth and endure it bitterly.
Jia Yi is no better than the soldiers, he is not the material for the battlefield, but he was forced to be pulled to the battlefield, and now every minute he spends every minute in cursing Li Er, of course, this curse only dares to be expressed in his heart, not on the surface.
When Qilian Mountain appeared in front of everyone, no soldier jumped off his horse for the first time, happily jumped on the ground twice, and trotted for a while, before he stood comfortably on the top of his respective war horses, feeding the war horses who were also about to be unbearable to feed grass and water.
"Set up camp and rest for the day tomorrow."
At the beginning of the march, Li Jing had already told the soldiers that after arriving at Qilian Mountain, he would let the army rest for a day.
The soldiers, who had rested for a while, quickly took out all sorts of things from the wagons, and then chose a vantage point to set up camp, and after a short while, the kung fu tents were connected into a piece, covering a large area.
When the middle road army led by Li Jing arrived, he also quickly set up camp nearby, and Li Jing entered the installed tent for the first time to rest, even if Li Jing was excellent in martial arts when he was young, but now he is old after all, such a long-distance run can indeed form a certain burden on his body.
Jia stewed a pot of lean porridge early in the morning, accompanied by salted duck eggs and canned braised pork, and served it directly to Li Jing's tent.
"General, eat something."
"You kid has a heart, didn't you eat, didn't eat a piece."
"Okay."
Jia Yi put the things in front of Li Jing, first put a bowl of lean porridge for him in front of him, and then knocked open a salted duck egg, and was just about to open the can of braised pork, but found that the old guy had already eaten it in the jar.
Jia Yigang was about to hand the salted duck egg to Li Jing, but he saw an empty rice bowl handed over, and it was only a matter of peeling a salted duck egg since Jia Yisheng's rice just now, and the old guy actually ate a bowl of porridge cleanly.
For the veteran, Jia Yi couldn't get angry, so he put the salted duck eggs into Li Jing's hands as soon as possible, took the rice bowl, and filled him with a bowl of porridge again.
I don't know if the porridge is cold or what, after Li Jing took the rice bowl, he first took a small sip, then stuffed the salted duck egg handed to him by Jia Yi into his mouth, followed by a large mouthful of porridge, and then took out a few pieces of braised pork from the jar and stuffed it into his mouth, another big mouthful of porridge.
When Jia Yi, who was stunned, found that the rice bowl was stretched out in front of him, he found that the bowl of porridge had become empty again, looked at the small basin he brought with the porridge, there was not much left in it, swallowed and foamed hard, took the empty bowl, and directly put the basin in front of Li Jing.
What is the wind and clouds, Jia Yi really saw it, a small pot of porridge, three salted duck eggs, plus a small jar of braised pork, all entered Li Jing's stomach, Jia Yi didn't eat at all, looking at Li Jing, who had a big waist and a round waist, he didn't raise a little belly, which made Jia Yi wonder if he had eaten so much food into another dimensional space.
"The porridge is good, it's just a little less, next time you change to a bigger basin, and if you're stingy, you know how to hide your own secrets." Li Jing, who was full of food and drink, no longer treated Jia Yi as politely as he did at the beginning, what does it mean to pick up a bowl to eat, put down the bowl and scold his mother, Jia Yi really saw it, after packing up his things without tears, after retiring from Li Jing, he walked briskly towards his camp, if he didn't eat at night, he would sleep well this night.
Jia Yi cooked very quickly, and in half an hour, a small pot of lean porridge appeared in front of him again, looking at the steaming lean porridge, as well as the braised pork that had just been opened and was still exuding fragrance, Jia Yi couldn't help but prepare to start eating, but at this moment, Xu Jingzong broke in, holding a bowl in his hand, with a smile on his face, if the bowl in his hand was a little broken, Jia Yi could treat him as a beggar.
"You're a dog, I've just served this meal and you're here."
"Ah, Master Hou is so capable, I have never told you about my physiognomy, you actually guessed it, admire and admire."
Knowing who Xu Jingzong was, Jia Yi didn't care, motioned for him to come over, and the two of them ate together.
The rice that was nothing in front of Li Jing became a big problem in front of Xu Jingzong and Jia Yi, both of them ate a little bit, but they still had a bowl of porridge, a duck egg and a little braised pork that they didn't eat.
Xu Jingzong burped and said to Jia Yi, who was signaling to him: "I've eaten enough, I've eaten enough, I can't eat anymore." ”
After speaking, he turned his head and covered his stomach and walked slowly outside, thinking about eating while walking, otherwise he still planned to sleep well tonight, and he couldn't sleep well if he was hungry, and he couldn't sleep well if he ate too much.
The soldiers' meals are not treated so well, they are all big pot rice, but after Jia Yi's improvement, the pig food that used to be turned into the current pimple soup, at least it tastes very good, and it is cooked quickly, compared to Jia Yi and Xu Jingzong, they finish their meals much earlier.
Looking at the food on the table, Jia Yi felt that wasting food on the battlefield was simply a crime that could be pulled out and beheaded, but he really couldn't eat it, and his eyes rolled and he suddenly yelled: "Someone." ”
"General."
Jia Yi's voice fell, and a small soldier standing outside got into the camp tent, Jia Yi looked up and saw that this soldier was a few years younger than himself, at most sixteen or seventeen, he looked thin and weak, and he didn't know how he joined the army.
"Have you eaten enough?"
"Back to the general, I'm full."
"Oh, well, I've got some leftovers, if you don't dislike it, take it out for supper."
As soon as Xiao Bing heard Jia Yi's words, his face suddenly showed ecstasy, and the fragrance wafting out of the camp tent had already made him salivate, he really didn't expect to be able to eat it, and thanked Jia Yi happily, but he didn't clean it up and take it out for supper as Jia Yi said, but directly lay on the table and ate it in a big gulp.
"Why don't you take it back and eat it?"
"General, if I take it back, it will be a question of whether it can be eaten in my mouth, so I'm not stupid."
The soldier's vague words made Jia Yi suddenly feel that this was his leftovers, and in the mouth of a small soldier, it turned out to be a precious thing that could not be shared with others, and for a while, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind, that is, to let the whole army eat such a meal every stew.
