Chapter 633: Rationing

Heavy snow closed the road, Li Xiu was a weak scholar, and it was not his turn to dig the road at all, and it was boring to stay in the barracks every day, and it happened that there was a person in the army who was as boring as him, that was Tang Jian, at the beginning, Tang Jian came to Li Xiu with a chessboard to play chess, and it was Go, and the two of them are now very happy to play backgammon every day.

Tang Jian is a person who pays attention to the quality of life, and when he made the next move, he picked up the tea made by Yuechan next to him and took a sip, but soon shook his head and said: "No, the more you drink this tea, the more hungry you are, Li Xiu, do you still have some snacks here?" ”

"How can there be any snacks, all the things that can be eaten have been handed in, and this tea is still left by me cheekily, after all, you can not eat rice, but you can't not drink tea!" Li Xiu glanced at Tang Jian at this time, before he handed over the grain, Yuechan was distressed and shed tears, the reason was that he could no longer cook for Li Xiu by himself, worried that he would be hungry and thin, which made Li Xiu also cry and laugh a little, but then he was a little moved.

However, Yuechan's worries are still reasonable, because the food in the army is not enough to eat, all the food is gathered together, and it is supplied in rations every day, and the mutton that was tired of eating before is only supplied to the soldiers who work in front, like Li Xiu, who stay in the barracks, can only eat two meals a day, and the amount of each meal is pitiful, sometimes it is a small piece of bread, sometimes it is a handful of fried noodles, and even sometimes it is directly sent away with a few slices of dried and hard sweet potatoes, and it has only been a few days, Li Xiu feels that he has lost a lot of weight.

It can be said that the little thing you eat every day is not hungry at all, but there is no way, you can only hold on to it, originally as Li Xiu and Tang Jian, you should also receive some special care in the army, but I don't know if Li Jing is deliberate, and requires the army to treat everyone equally, even he himself only eats this little thing every day, with him taking responsibility for himself, other people in the army are naturally embarrassed to say anything.

"I'm really hungry, you said this person is really strange, you can eat whatever you want before, but you don't feel anything, and even deliberately starve a few times, it is said that it can maintain health, but now you don't have to eat, but you feel hungry in your mouth, now don't say anything chicken, duck and fish, I am satisfied with a bowl of hot soup cakes!" Tang Jian smacked his mouth at this time, as if he was reminiscing about the taste of the soup cakes he had eaten before.

"What I want to eat most now is dumplings, which must be filled with pork and cabbage, with more fatty meat, and it is full of fatty juice in one bite, fresh and hot, and it makes people want to swallow their tongues!" Li Xiu also showed an aftertaste expression at this time and said, he has never been hungry in his two lives, but he was very hungry when he was a child in his previous life, and he rarely ate meat at that time, and he can only satisfy his cravings when he eats dumplings, so this makes him form a special feeling for dumplings, whether it is when he is hungry or hungry, he will think of the delicious dumplings at home.

"Don't say it, the more I talk about it, the hungrier I get, let's hold it for a while, it's getting dark now, it's time to send dinner later!" Tang Jian rubbed his stomach at this time, and then looked up at Tiansedao.

"I don't know when this Ruth will be dug up, I calculated it before, it should not be far from the position of General Qin Qiongqin's army, I don't know if I can see it from the hot air balloon?" Li Xiu also looked at the sky at this time, and then sighed.

The matter of excavating the snow has been going on for three days, and after three days and three nights of continuous excavation, they dug a long passage from the snow, but because it was too far away, Li Xiu didn't have the strength to make a trip, so he didn't know much about the news ahead.

"It should be soon, I saw Li Daozong the day before yesterday, and I heard him say that it was their turn to dig the road yesterday, but the road is too long now, it will take two days just to go back and forth, it is estimated that he will come back today, and we can ask him then!" Tang Jian said at this time.

"It will take two days to go back and forth, so shouldn't our camp move forward?" Li Xiu didn't expect the excavation road to be so long, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise at the moment.

"No, we have too many people, if we re-excavate a camp in front, it will take a lot of time, and there are many teams in turn, it is estimated that at most two rounds can dig the passageway, so as long as it is properly arranged, let the rotating team go to the front in advance, of course, there is also a small camp in front of it, specifically for these soldiers to rest." Tang Jian opened his mouth at this time to explain that he knew many people in the army, and he was more informed than Li Xiu.

"That's good, I really hope to find General Qin and them soon, they are all cavalry, and they don't usually bring much dry food, I'm really worried that they won't be able to last long!" Li Xiu also nodded when he heard this, he was worried about Qin Qiong, and at the same time, he was also worried about Ma Ye, because Ma Ye ran to Qin Qiong's army before, and now there is no news.

"The cavalry is okay, they can still kill the horses to save themselves, I am now a little worried that the news that our army is trapped will spread to Chang'an, and I am afraid that it will cause people's hearts to fluctuate, in case someone takes the opportunity to make trouble, I am afraid it will also be a big trouble!" When Tang Jian said this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the far south, as if he could see the majestic Chang'an City.

"Don't worry about this, after the news of our trapped reaches Dingxiang or Shuozhou, it will definitely be transmitted to Chang'an as soon as possible through the Feinu Division, and His Majesty will definitely order the news to be blocked, so I'm sure that there will definitely be no news of us being trapped in Chang'an City!" Li Xiu said with a smile at this time, with his understanding of Li Shimin, the other party would definitely do this.

"That's right, Your Majesty blocked the news, and my family shouldn't know about it, so as not to worry them, but your family is different, Your Majesty shouldn't hide it from the princess, and then your family will probably be worried!" Tang Jian said with a smile at this time, his father is Li Yuan's friend, and he is Li Shimin's friend, it can be said that he and Li Shimin are world friends, and he naturally knows the royal family affairs best.

"That's not necessarily, Your Majesty won't hide it from Xiuning, but with Xiuning's character, she will definitely not tell the rest of the family the news, but bear it alone, but she will probably be afraid of me during this time!" Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh at the end, and felt a little distressed for Princess Pingyang.

When he was talking, dinner was finally distributed in the barracks, Li Jing had unified the formation of all the people in the barracks before, and each team had a special quartermaster responsible for distributing food, these quartermasters were Li Jing's personal guards, and no one would give face, which also ensured that the food could be distributed equally, and no one could take advantage of it, I don't know what I could eat tonight?
