Chapter Eighty-Seven: Temptation
The sound of war drums of "dong" and "dong" seems to be beating on people's hearts at once! The neighing of man and horse, the collision of iron and blood. The flying blood and flying stumps bear witness to the bravery of the soldiers, and the spears are broken with swords. When the sword is broken, he uses his fist, and when the fist is cut off, he hits his head and bites it with his teeth.
The word impassioned and cruel wandered on the battlefield with blood. Tens of thousands of people mixed together to chop and axe for a whole day, and Yun Yue stood on the earthen platform and watched in horror. This is war, this is the war that has been sung about by countless poems.
Yun Yue was very glad that she was not involved in such a fight, and as an audience, she was already shocked. As a participant, Yun Yue was not sure that she would be able to walk off the battlefield alive.
The sun gradually sank below the horizon, the remnant sun was like blood, and the sky was reflected red by half a round of golden black, and the earth was covered with corpses on both sides. Countless crows circled in the sky, and the smell of blood stimulated these beasts did not dare to go down.
The corpses were densely spread over a radius of several miles, and Yun Yue could barely see an inch of open space. Corpses on top of each other, death on the pillow of death. Occasionally, one or two were still squirming, but anyone knew they wouldn't live long.
Crawling out of the pile of dead people, that is only in novels. Walking into such a bloody place, no one can come out alive. This is the Nose Hell, and this is the Nine Shadows Yama. The stumps and severed arms of people and horses constitute the bloodiest picture in this world.
"Don't look at it, sir. Back then, in Changping, it was much worse than this. The living were so hungry that they went to the battlefield in the middle of the night to steal corpses to eat, and next to them were those fox squirrels and hungry wolves. The eyes of a man are as green as the eyes of a wolf. At that time, man was more terrible than a wolf. Maybe the wolf gets closer, and the man will bite the wolf. Old Jiang looked ahead, as if telling a good story. But Yun Yue knew that what he said was true.
What a terrible battle it was! The number of people killed in this war is ten times and a hundred times that of this war, and the natural tragedy is ten times and a hundred times stronger than this time. Today, Yun Yue can be regarded as having learned what war is, which is a thousand times more real than Hollywood movies.
The tired Yun Yue was helped down the platform by Lao Jiang, because his legs were already weak. I don't know if I was too excited, or I was frightened by the tragic scene after the war.
Mechanical walking, mechanical eating. Yun Yue couldn't even remember whether she ate wheat rice or scallion pancakes. He lay alone in the tent, and the laughter and frolic of the soldiers could be heard all around. They are accustomed to war, and killing and being killed is just a switch between strong and weak.
Yun Yue is not used to war, so he needs to adapt. Alone is the best way, and Lao Jiang sat at the door of his military tent with the iron tower. blocked everyone who wanted to disturb him, and it was better to let Yun Yue stay alone at this time.
"The Captain's reaction is a bit excessive!" Tie Ta had already drunk half of the steamed wine, and the effect of alcohol made this King Kong-like man talk more.
"You can see that he is a kind-hearted man. If possible, he does not want human blood on his hands. But in this world of great contention, those who do not fight will have to worry about their lives. If you want to survive, you have to get through this. Sometimes, you don't want to kill but you have to be killed.
Everyone has a merciful heart, but it is against whom. Let the captain think about it, he is a smart person and figure it out. Old Jiang turned into a philosopher, and as a result, he took a big sip of the steamed wine handed over by the tower.
The iron tower was so said by Lao Jiang that his jaw almost fell, "In the world of great contention, those who are indisputable must worry about their lives, this is what Lin Xiangguo said." Don't fool me that I haven't read. ”
"Hahaha! I haven't hidden it from you, boy, listen to the old man's words, and follow this captain to do a good job. Your benefits are indispensable. ”
Lian Po did not change the military order, and Yun Yue's forward left battalion continued to be stationed at the mountain pass. The trench was dug deeper and deeper, and if Yun Yue did not intervene, it was estimated that the spring water could be dug up.
The Yan army had no idea of breaking through from here, this place was like a small city wall, and if you wanted to go up, you had to use a ladder to get there. The trench was filled with water, and the five-foot wide trench was soon transformed into a swimming pool. At night, the bored striker left battalion soldier would frolic in it with his bare butt for a while.
It's been three days, and this is already the ultimate that Yan Jun can insist on. Ning Xin went crazy for the last time, and it was estimated that he would be miserable when he returned to Yan Kingdom. If you want to lead the troops into battle, I'm afraid you'll have to live in the next life.
The Yan army began to retreat, and Ao Canghai was transferred. Cavalry is the best class to pursue, not slow infantry. Yun Yue did not follow Ao Canghai to pursue the Yan army, after accepting Yun Yue's steamed wine from a wine bag. This guy patted his chest and promised to snatch two bright Yan Guoda girls back for the captain.
The killers left in smoke and dust, and Lian Po personally pursued almost all the cavalry in the army. The collapsed Yan army will definitely be defeated miserably, and it seems that General Lian Da's credit book will be filled in again.
Yun Yue was holding a grass stalk in her mouth to cool off under the tree, and there were almost only the old, weak, sick and disabled left in the barracks. Yun Yue didn't bother to control the guys, and Handan brought a lot of military resources and labor. You can do anything except get drunk and beat people and destroy things.
"Boy, you seem to be very unhappy!" A voice sounded in Yun Yue's ears, and she opened her eyes to take a look. Depend on! It turned out to be An Pingjun.
Before you become a big guy, you need to respect the current big guy. Yun Yue has always been a staunch supporter of this creed.
Get up and salute, and the series of actions are completed in one go. "The villain doesn't know that the king is too far away, and I ask the king to forgive the sin." Yun Yue bowed to give a salute, but in her heart she was thinking about what this old guy was going to do.
"Boy, what are you thinking? This time you have the greatest credit, and the king will definitely reward you well. But how does the old man look at it, you seem to be unhappy. I slept lazily here, and I didn't cook some good food for the old man. I don't know how to respect the elderly! The old fellow seemed to be very angry. Raising his hand, he gave Yun Yue a slap.
Your sister! Put down the chopsticks and hit the cook, and you won't fucking eat yet. Lao Tzu is a dignified captain, not everyone can catch a cook who is a cook. Yun Yue slandered in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it. After all, this old guy in front of him is a military bigwig. Lian Po has to greet the old guy with a smile, and his strength is not trivial.
"The king is a clear guide, there is a lack of equipment in the army. The small seasonings and other things brought from Handan were also used well. It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, you just want the villain to make food. I'm afraid it's hard to find ingredients and seasonings for a while! ”
Yun Yue left Handan with only a bag of flour. has long been eaten, but there are a lot of scallion pancakes. However, Lao Jiang Tieta and Zheng Bin come to rub every day, and from time to time Ao Canghai and Chu Dayong also come to rub two. Now poor Yunyue also has to eat the unpalatable wheat rice.
Hum! If you want to steal Lao Tzu's technique of grinding noodles, Lao Tzu won't tell you. Isn't it just a few meals of wheat and rice, Lao Tzu endured it.
"Nothing else, the custard you made last time was good. Hey! The last time I ate it, the old man felt fragrant. The cook did it once like you, but it didn't taste like that. You make another bowl for the old man. ”
After speaking, the gentleman lay down on the position where Yun Yue had just been, and the mat was spread on the soft grass. Surrounded by a faint fragrance of grass and earth, this is a place for Yun Yue to carefully choose to take a nap. Looks like he's going to be taken over by this old guy today.
Young people have no human rights! Yun Yue muttered, and reluctantly began to beat the eggs and steam them in the pot. There are a lot of wild onions, so I picked one up in the field. I remember where I peed yesterday, and it seems that this is the place without mistake.
Peel the green onions, cut them into pieces and throw them into beaten eggs. The water that had been boiled for a while cooled to lukewarm water was poured into a clay bowl.
"Remember, boil this egg custard with lukewarm water. Boiling water is not good, and cold water is not good. Got it? Yun Yue was followed by a fat cook, and he followed every step of Yun Yue by heart. Egg custard! The famous dishes that the gentleman likes to eat, and the fat chef learns very seriously. Just waiting to use this dish to reach the peak of his career.
Soy sauce is not yet available, and seafood soy sauce is even more of a dream. It's a little fishy, there is no way to do it, you will be fine, who made your old man unlucky, born in the Warring States period more than 2,000 years ago. Even if it is less than a thousand years of reincarnation, in the Song Dynasty, it was also an era of explosive development of the catering industry.
The old guy snorted loudly, but the egg custard came at the end. An Pingjun immediately turned over and sat up, and his eyes didn't open when the bowl was taken.
An Pingjun ate with great momentum, and a bowl of egg custard was stunned to eat the feeling of a landslide and tsunami. The sound of a babbling mouth, like someone walking barefoot on a rainy night.
"You said that Admiral Wang starved to death in the Dune Palace, right?" The old guy who was eating egg custard suddenly said something that made Yun Yue's soul go out of his body.
Your nephew killed your brother, why are you asking me a little lieutenant. The eight kings in the Handan moat are less than the captains in the Zhao army. Yun Yue felt a chill down his spine after being asked, and only then did he realize it. There was no one around him, and even the fat cook who had been studying behind him was gone.
Oh no, what is this old guy going to do! Under the warm sun, Yun Yue actually shivered.
