Li Xiu couldn't sleep hungry, and he was about to go back when it was almost dawn in the barracks, but at this moment, he suddenly saw a team of people rushing into the camp gate that had just been opened, and in this group of people, he also saw a familiar figure, it was Li Daozong, who had gone to him every day to eat. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Daozong, who was on the horse, also saw Li Xiu at a glance, and immediately stepped forward and laughed: "Why did the horse get up so early, and he came to the camp gate, wouldn't he know that I was coming back, so he came to greet him?" ”

"I don't have the ability to predict the future, but I was woken up hungry this morning, so I came out for a walk, and I didn't expect to meet you back." Li Xiu couldn't help laughing at this time, but when he said this, he suddenly asked a little strangely, "By the way, I heard Tang Gong say yesterday that you should have come back yesterday, why did you come back now?" ”

"Haha, everyone says that Tang Gongfu has a great life, but I think my luck is no worse than Tang Gongfu, last time Jieli was captured by me, this time I went to the front to dig the road, and guess what, I actually opened the road between me and General Qin Qiong, and it is precisely for this reason that I have delayed until now!" Li Daozong laughed out loud at this time and said complacently.

"What? Have you seen General Qin? Li Xiu couldn't help but shout in shock when he heard this, and then asked eagerly, "General Qin, how are they, and have you seen Uncle Ma?" ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, General Qin, I saw it, General Ma was also there at the time, their situation is actually better than ours, because General Qin is a pure cavalry, although he brings less food, but there are a lot of horses, and many people have robbed a lot of grassland people's horses before, which also leads to most of them are one person with two horses or even one person with more horses, but when I saw General Qin, he also invited me to eat horse meat, the only pity is that these are war horses, but in order to survive, they have to be like this!" When Li Daozong said the end, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

In this case, if you want to let the government soldiers fight for the court, they will be looser in some things, such as the spoils captured during the war, which are generally divided between the soldiers and the court in proportion, for example, a soldier captures two horses, only one needs to be offered, and the rest is his own.

However, it is precisely because the soldiers can take the spoils of war as their own, which also makes the Tang army in the war, especially when fighting abroad, there are often some situations where military discipline is not strict, robbing civilians is a trivial matter, the most serious is the slaughter of the city, because after the massacre, the wealth of the entire city has become the army people, and they can take it as they want.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that some generals in the Tang Army are not good birds, many people will deliberately find excuses to slaughter the city in order to encourage the morale of the army, or to plunder private wealth for themselves, the most significant representative of which is Cheng Biting Jin, this guy does not look like an official eunuch at all, but more like a butcher, this attack on the Turks, the reason why Li Shimin did not send his trusted Cheng Biting Jin as the chief general of any way, is that he is afraid that he will kill too many people and cause the resistance of the grassland people.

Of course, Cheng Biting Jin later brought trouble to himself because of the slaughter of the city, and was punished several times, but he was Li Shimin's favorite general, so he didn't take the general punishment to heart at all, but he rose step by step in the future, and his life span is still very long, although he didn't live for hundreds of years like what was written in the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but he also lived to be more than eighty years old, which can already be called a birthday star in ancient times, think about his life of killing people and setting fires, he can still live for so long, if those who died in his hands have spirits in the sky, they will definitely scold God for being blind.

"The most important thing is that people live, now that the Turks have been wiped out by us, and the steppe is about to become ours, the horses are not as many as they want, and it is too uncomfortable to starve, I feel that I can swallow a horse now!" When Li Xiu said the end, he couldn't help but rub his stomach, and then he felt even hungrier.

"Hehe~, donkey, you have a good mouth, I'll bring something, you go back and let your maid do it, and then call Tang Gong, wait until we eat and talk!" Hearing Li Xiu's words, he saw Li Daozong suddenly smile mysteriously, and then lifted a heavy burden from the horseback and stuffed it into Li Xiu's hands.

"What's so heavy?" Li Xiu also felt a sinking in his hands when he received the burden, and his limbs were already weak, which made him almost unable to hold this burden.

"Didn't I go to dig the road before, but my brother accidentally dug a dirt slope, and a soldier from the Hu people found that there was prey in this dirt slope at a glance, so we dug up the dirt slope, and it turned out that I really found a lot of prey hidden in it from inside, and I ate some before, and I deliberately let people leave some, in order to send it to you, after all, I ate you so many meals in vain before, and now I finally have something to say!" Li Daozong smiled at this time, the soldiers who went to dig the road not only ate well, but also had some additional benefits, of course, they were a little tired, but fortunately, the time was not long, which was conducive to keeping them working efficiently.

Hearing that this was the prey excavated by Li Daozong, although he didn't know what kind of animal it was, it was definitely edible, which made Li Xiu's eyes light up, and his body was full of strength all of a sudden, and he didn't feel heavy with dozens of catties of burden in his hand, and then he said a few words to Li Daozong, and after learning that Qin Qiong might come back to see Li Jing in a few days, he was relieved, and then said goodbye to Li Daozong and left, turned around and returned to his camp.

At this time, breakfast had not yet been distributed, so many people still hadn't gotten up, lying in the quilt could save some physical strength, and even the patrolling soldiers went back to rest, and when Li Xiu returned to his tent, he found that Yuechan had already gotten up and was cleaning the tent.

"Yuechan, don't clean up, come and see what Li Daozong sent?" As soon as Li Xiu came in, he immediately beckoned to Yuechan excitedly, it was windy outside just now, and he couldn't smell anything, but now when he entered the tent, he immediately smelled a unique fishy smell and bloody smell of animals emitted from the baggage, usually these two smells may feel very annoying, but in the case of extreme hunger, Li Xiu actually felt that these two smells were very tempting, and even saliva accelerated the secretion.
