Chapter 278: Indelible
Li Deyi thought that this thin and hungry man would eat a few bites of the light cake after taking it. www.biquge.info Unexpectedly, the thin man only broke off a piece the size of his finger, put it in his mouth and swallowed it slowly, and secretly put the rest of the light cake into his arms and put it away. When the tall thin man hid the rest of the cake in his arms, he deliberately glanced at Li De a few times with his eyes, for fear of being seen by Li De. Li De saw his actions early in the morning, but he pretended not to know and continued to hurry.
Next, Li Deyi kept secretly observing the tall and thin man on the road. I found that the thin man secretly divided the light cake he gave into several small pieces, and secretly stuffed it into the mouths of several old men who were about to fall to the ground with all their strength. Li Deyi nodded thoughtfully, didn't say anything, and continued to lead the people on the road.
Dozens of miles of mountain roads, Li Deyi took these thin people, and walked for nearly two days before arriving at the place, and nearly 100 people fell on the road forever because of the loss of strength on the way.
Li Deyi strictly controlled the food on the road, eating two meals a day for each person, and only giving one light cake for each meal. Even the soldiers of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment are no exception, and Li Deyi is even more so. The light cake that Li Deyi secretly stuffed to the thin man before was actually his next meal.
It's not that Li Deyi doesn't want to give more, but this operation came in a hurry, the time was urgent, and he didn't have time to prepare so much in advance. Li Deyi had only 1,000 soldiers, and he had to carry 10,000 people on his back enough to eat two days of light cakes, which was a big burden for every soldier. Moreover, these soldiers must also retain their physical strength and be ready to deal with attacks from the Tuliao people at all times. Walking in this mountain forest, there is no road, you can't pull a cart, everything can only rely on manpower. Being able to maintain two light cakes per person per day is already the limit of what Li Deyi can do.
Within two days, Li Deyi had to take people back to the temporary camp in the mountains, otherwise everyone would starve when the bread was finished.
In the end, when there were five miles left, many people had already reached their limit, their physical strength was exhausted, and they had to use up even the strength to breathe, and they really couldn't walk a single step anymore. Patches of people began to sit down, or simply lie on the ground to rest, gasping for breath.
In this case, Li Deyi also became numb. He didn't expect this beforehand, and now even if he asked the soldiers of the garrison regiment to carry it, he couldn't carry so many people. Li Deyi was in a hurry, and he circled back and forth on the ground, scratching his scalp and thinking of a way, and made his teeth loud.
Li Deyi thought about it for a long time, Zhihai was shocked for a long time, and suddenly slapped his thigh, and he had an idea!
Li Deyi pointed to the temporary camp in front of him with his hand and shouted to the people: "Folks, work harder." Our camp is just around the corner! There are still a hundred and ten steps left, just get there! We'll have meat to eat! Everyone has it, a big piece of fatty meat, and you're guaranteed to eat with a mouthful of oil! Enough to eat! Eat as much as you want! ”
At the critical moment, the hungry stomach once again exerted unimaginable power. I heard that I could eat enough and eat meat not far ahead! It's better to eat enough! Many people who had fallen to the ground and were unable to walk again staggered and barely stood up again, and began to continue to stagger forward.
Li Deyi found a soldier with fast legs, asked him to run back first, and told the soldiers of the Huotou battalion to cook all the meat immediately, so that the smell of meat could quickly emanate.
Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety. No matter how far the road ahead, you can always walk it, but the last two miles of land is the most fatal watershed. In the past, the sea and the sky are vast, and you can't get by, you can only be mediocre for a lifetime.
When he walked to the last two miles, Li Deyi faintly smelled the smell of meat coming from the air, and immediately shouted: "Folks! Smell it, it's meaty! The big fat is not far from us! If you push harder, this meat will be in your mouth! ”
All the people immediately stretched out their noses and sniffed vigorously. In fact, where can they smell it, after all, it is two miles away. Li Deyi was able to faintly smell the fragrance from such a distance because of the cultivation of the original qi and the strengthening of his body.
Li Deyi quietly glanced at the soldiers under his hands, and several first-class soldiers who had learned to read and write with Li Deyi and had taken ideological unification classes immediately reacted, and said in unison: "Ah, it's so fragrant!" It must be a boiled chunk of fatty meat, fat and tender. Brothers, hurry up! Hurry back and eat fat! I'm hungry! ”
After speaking, these soldiers took the lead and quickened their pace. When the people who didn't smell the fragrance saw that the soldiers were hurrying back to eat the meat, they immediately became anxious, struggled to get back to their feet, and began to support each other in trying to walk faster.
Seeing these people's eager desire to eat meat, they struggled and began to hurry. Li Deyi nodded secretly, and said in his heart, "I didn't expect this trick to really work." For no reason, Li Deyi knew that a word came out of the sea: "Smell the meat to stop hunger." Then immediately after that, a sentence came out, "Wangmei quenches thirst". Immediately after that, a short hero who loves to marry comes out. This person's majestic face is intimidating.
Shaking his head and dispersing these two strange words, Li Deyi led the "Humvee" and began to continue to lead the team forward.
Finally arrived at the makeshift camp in the col. When the people smelled the long-lost smell of meat, they couldn't help but cry on the spot. There are many people here who were originally rich and noble, and they were full of anointing all day long. Who would have thought that one day, they would cry with excitement that they would be able to eat a piece of fat.
You must know that before the Tuliao people broke their homes, they were rich and noble, and they would use a whole old hen, fresh shellfish, and lion's mane mushrooms to flavor the dried abalone soup, but in the end, they only ate one bite of dried abalone, and rewarded the rest to the family. Fat, which was eaten by the lowest third-class servant women in the family, would not even touch it. In this world, it is really a white cloud and a dog, and it is impermanent. The inferior meat that they once did not hesitate to eat has now become a delicacy that they salivate for and can't wait to eat a bite.
Li had to settle the people, and watched them eat the first fat head and light cake with his own eyes. Li Deyi found the tall and thin man in the crowd and asked, "Have you eaten?" Are you full? ”
The tall and thin man replied respectfully: "Go back to the little general, I'm full." ”
"What's your name? What did you do at home? ”
"Back to the little general's words, the villain's name is Xu Niu. The family generation replaces the large family to raise cattle for a living. ”
Li De nodded a little and said, "I am the deputy head of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment, Li Deyi." I now promote you to be the chief of these outcasts. Would you like to? ”
When Xu Niu was at home, he also knew what the chief was doing, so he hesitated and didn't agree immediately.
Li De was a little hesitant when he saw this Xu Niu, and said, "I will let you do this security chief, and I won't arrange too many things for you." Right now, you don't have to care about anything else, but mainly to help Fafa eat. Help me stabilize everyone, if you are willing to stay, I will take you to Dingbei County in the future, and each man will be given fifty acres of land. Those who did not want to stay, when they returned to the camp, I gave each of them ten days' rations, and let them go wherever they wanted. ”
As soon as Xu Niu heard that there were fifty acres of land, his eyes widened suddenly, and he no longer hesitated, and immediately nodded fiercely.
"You can pick five helpers and help you out. I'll arrange this for you later, and you can go and thank you first. Li De waved his hand and asked Xu Niu to eat first, rest his feet, and recover some strength.
Seeing that the people had settled down, Li Deyi took a portion of his own light cake, ate it in three bites, and after eating, he beckoned all the 1,000 soldiers who came this time.
"I want to keep you here, guarding the people of this week. Next, in the big battle of the Liao Golden Wolf Cavalry, I am afraid that you will not be able to participate in the battle. Li De got straight to the point and said directly.
"Deputy Commander, I want to go to war!" Immediately, many soldiers raised different opinions. The Dingbei Garrison Regiment has well inherited the tradition of the Weibei Battalion, and the first-class soldiers have a great say in the deliberations. Even if Li Deyi is the deputy head of the regiment, he must listen to their opinions and cannot be forcibly subdued.
"I know that you all want to fight the Golden Wolf Cavalry, but the more than 10,000 people here must be guarded, otherwise if they are discovered by the Tuliao Scouts, I am afraid that the fate of these people will be very miserable." Li Deyi spoke his mind.
"Leave five hundred soldiers and block the mouth of the mountain pass, so that you are not afraid of the Tuliao cavalry, and we can defend it no matter how many we come. And we don't have to stay in this mountain together. This first-class soldier obviously had an idea, and after a little thought, he came up with a way.
As soon as Li De heard this, he glanced at this soldier and found that this person was very familiar with him, he had been taught, and his name was Chen Wutian. Li Deyi taught him the course of ideological unity, and he asked him the most questions, and kept raising his hand to ask questions, so Li Deyi was most impressed by him.
"What you say makes sense, okay, just do what you say. Those who volunteered to stay raised their hands for me to see. Li De thought for a while and agreed to Chen Wutian's suggestion. After all, the next big battle is very dangerous. Senior brother decided to fight head-to-head with the Tuliao Golden Wolf Cavalry, showing the whole world the strength of the Dingbei garrison. In such a dangerous battle, if you can have one more person, you can have more strength, and you can add a little more chance of winning.
As a result, Li De glanced at it for a long time, and not a single soldier raised his hand. Thinking about it, this battle is so important, these first-class soldiers are looking forward to fighting the Tuliao Golden Wolf Cavalry to see who is the strongest soldier in the world, and where they are willing to wait in this mountain pass. From this point of view, the soldiers of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment are really good, eager to fight, and strong when they are strong.
The soldiers of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment were eager to fight, and they were also inseparable from Li Deyi's ideological unity education. And Li Deyi wanted to leave the soldiers to take care of the rescued people, purely for the safety of these people, and did not consider the thoughts of these soldiers. At this time, Li De felt at first that the previous decision was a bit hasty, but now that these people have been rescued, they can't let it go, and they must leave the soldiers behind to protect their safety.
Helplessly, Li Deyi had to frown and think of a way to not only protect these rescued people, but also satisfy the desire of these first-class soldiers to fight. After thinking about it for a while, Li Deyi finally reluctantly came up with an explanation. (To be continued.) )
