Chapter 193: Rivers and Mountains (3)
As the sun rose, the smell of beef and mutton wafted out from the Tuliao camp. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Deyi lay behind the stone, sniffled, and scolded in his heart: "Tuliao dogs eat really well, and I can't eat beef and mutton." Li Deyi didn't know that for the Tuliao people, beef and mutton were the most common meals, and eating a mouthful of food once in a while was a good thing. Nowadays, this kind of food is only secretly circulated among the upper-class nobles of Tuliao, and most of the lower-class soldiers have never come into contact with it. If you are tired of eating beef and mutton, take a bite of green vegetables, although the taste is completely different from meat, the vegetables can relieve oiliness and make your stomach comfortable.
What's more, after the Tuliao nobles ate the food, the squatting pit, which was usually the most headache for the elderly nobles, also became easier. Especially the Tuliao Emperor, for this point, the green vegetables are a must at every meal. The first emperor of the dignified Tuliao Empire was actually troubled by the trivial matter of squatting, and it was not until he broke through Zhongshen City and caught some vegetable farmers who could grow vegetables that he successfully solved this problem.
Although this is a trivial matter of time, it is a great event for the Tuliao Emperor. He is an emperor, and he doesn't know how many things he has to be busy with every day, but he spends half an hour on the matter of squatting. The main reason is that he is now old, and his body is not as good as before, so it is extremely difficult to excrete it. After learning to eat some vegetables with Master Fan by chance, I suddenly found that it was much easier to squat in the pit that day. Since then, the Tuliao Emperor must eat green vegetables at every meal, up and down, and among the Tuliao nobles, it is naturally popular to eat green vegetables.
In the Tuliao people, the situation of all social classes is similar to that of the Pingzhou Dynasty in those years. The living habits of the upper class aristocracy were often very different from those of the lower class. The Tuliao nobles have begun to eat vegetables, and ordinary Tuliao soldiers still eat beef and mutton as their staple food. Therefore, Li Deyi smelled the strong aroma of beef and mutton, and he was greedy for the Tuliao soldiers to eat well, but he didn't know that the dishes he usually ate were only eaten by the Tuliao nobles at the moment.
In this world, no matter who is the emperor or who is in power, there will always be powerful people and ordinary people. The reason is very simple, the vast majority of flat-headed people sharpen their heads and drill into the upper layer whenever they have the opportunity. When these flat-headed people succeed, there will naturally be a new batch of powerful people, and those who don't succeed are still flat-headed people.
People who are truly content with the status quo and have no greed for fame and power, among hundreds of millions of people, it is difficult to have one or two. Some people look content with the status quo, but the marriage is not partyed, when the karma is sufficient, he climbs fiercer than anyone else. After all, fame, power, and wealth are really eye-catching. What I didn't get, I desperately wanted to get. Those who already have it desperately want to hold on to the wealth and power in their hands and expand it.
Thank you again for being so equal in heaven and earth, without anyone's "selfishness", regarding all things as dogs, so that everyone can return to equality when they die, and the power and wealth cannot be taken away. If this heaven and earth also become "benevolent" one day, then it is the real dark day. At that time, the world's powerful people will definitely take advantage of this "benevolence" to keep their wealth and power forever, and the ordinary people will really never come out.
Li De drooled while smelling the aroma of beef and mutton, and waited patiently there, waiting for the Tuliao people to appear.
After a while, about a meal, a large group of war horses drove a large group of war horses, walked out of the passage specially left in the camp, and walked slowly towards the flat land in front of Li Deyi, driving the horses all the way.
Li Deyi cautiously raised his head, glanced at it a few times, and immediately keenly noticed that behind the herd of horses today, a group of elite cavalry from Tuliao was quietly ambushed. Li Deyi didn't understand why the Tuliao people were so vigilant, in fact, this disaster was caused by the two squatting behind him, and they were provoked yesterday.
Yesterday, the vanguard general of the Western Tuliao Route Army, Ashina Shapi's beloved horse, Wu Jinju disappeared inexplicably. Ashina Shapi was furious, and spent the whole day gambling and vowing that he would catch these daring horse thieves and torture them so that they would regret coming into this world. So today, Ashina Shapi sent a team of elite cavalry to secretly ambush behind the horses, trying to catch the horse thieves.
After Li De saw it clearly, he was faintly disappointed in his heart. He wanted to catch another horse to eat today, oh, no, no, how could he catch one, if possible, catch a few more, there are more people in the Dingbei garrison.
If you don't see it, dare to think about how to catch other people's war horses and eat them under the noses of tens of thousands of elite cavalry in Tuliao, I'm afraid I can't find a few in the world. However, this protagonist dares to think about it. Well, I really should let the elite ministers of the Li family come to visit and study in the Dingbei garrison group, and learn from Li Deyi's heartless courage.
Brother, this is an important battle against tens of thousands of elite Tuliao, and it is an important battle to determine the ownership of the world. At this juncture, can you have a little bit of a chance? Don't just think about eating. Li Deyi: "Only when you are full can you have the strength to fight the Tuliao people, besides, if I catch their horses and go back to eat, isn't it also to weaken the Tuliao people?" "Okay, brother, there is you, you have such a good mouth, I can't talk about you.
After carefully observing for a while, Li Deyi couldn't help but didn't dare to move, just carefully noted the surrounding terrain, as well as the route of the Tuliao people walking their horses, and waited patiently for the Tuliao people to withdraw to the camp, then quietly went down the hillside, ran and slipped back.
"Hummer" and "Four Eyes" had already gone to hunt elsewhere, so Li had to rush back to the camp on foot. Li Deyi ran quickly, all the way back to the camp that was still being built and reinforced. It's also thanks to Li Deyi's strong physique now, and he ran down for dozens of miles, but he didn't feel too tired. Speaking of which, it is also the experience of the majestic realm left by the founding ancestor of the Ping Zhou Dynasty is really powerful, although it brings great pain to the practitioners, but it can also bring great benefits.
After entering the camp gate, Li De kept going to his senior brother. When he came to the military tent, opened the curtain and went in, Li Deyi reported in detail to his senior brother all the things he had observed before. After hearing this, the head of Xiao Liu didn't notice anything abnormal, and the brothers and sisters discussed it carefully and decided to observe it for a few more days.
At present, this battle is extraordinary, and if the garrison is defeated, there will definitely be only one way to perish. Therefore, the two brothers are very cautious at the moment, and even Li Deyi, who has always had bad ideas, temporarily put away those careful thoughts at this time, and patiently planned with the senior brother at the tactical level.
In this way, another five or six days passed, and the Tuliao people stormed Luodu City day by day, and the Li family tried to send messengers from the east gate to the garrison group to ask for help while defending the city day by day.
And the garrison regiment still didn't move, and Commander Xiao Liu didn't have the slightest intention of rescuing his father-in-law. Li Deyi was really confused by the messenger's tearful performance, and after the messenger left, he turned his head and said to his senior brother: "Senior brother, why don't we move?" You can't watch the Tuliao people conquer Luodu City. ”
Captain Xiao Liu was annoyed that his junior brother was easily deceived, so he raised his hand and gave him a head to give him a look, and angrily reprimanded: "Who is my father-in-law? That's an old oilman who has fought an old war, if he really can't support it, and still has the heart to send someone for help? My father-in-law has lived all his life, doesn't he know that it is better to ask for others than for himself? Look at the world, which of the heroes who came out to chase the deer is a good match? Aren't they all dead friends, not dead poor friends?!! We can only be cannon fodder in the past now, our brothers' lives are precious, you are willing to do it, I am reluctant to do it! ”
was taught a lesson by his senior brother, and Li Deyi also knew that he was Mao Tender just now, and he was fooled by the messenger of the Li family. With a red face, Li Deyi whispered: "Senior brother, I know, I will not fall for this evil next time." ”
After the head of Xiao Liu finished training his junior brother, he was also a little soft-hearted, and his junior brother came to Weibei Camp since he beat him, and now he has become the deputy head of the regiment, although he has also experienced some setbacks and suffered some hardships in the middle. But the junior brother has never been intrigued with anyone, and it is reasonable to be deceived just now. Let's just say that when the days of Weibei Camp were difficult, he saw the master put his old face in his pocket every day, running around for the livelihood of the brothers, begging his grandfather to sue his grandmother. And the kung fu of those officials of the Ping Zhou Dynasty, as well as the ability to make up nonsense, as well as the ugly behavior of being serious in person, promising again and again, and turning their heads but not doing anything, really left a deep impression on their minds, and only then did they have some experience.
Send away the messenger of the Li family, the two brothers and sisters, and continue to do what they should do.
During the day, Commander Xiao Liu continued to command the soldiers to dig deep trenches and build camps. Li Deyi took thirteen students and continued to clean up the surrounding Tuliao scouts. The Tuliao people who had suffered losses in a row also learned well, and the scouts refused to get too close to the Weibei camp, staring from a distance, and when they saw Li Deyi coming out of the camp, they immediately turned around and left. At night, Dr. Liu will take a few of the best sentinels to go out at night to reconnoiter the surrounding mountains and rivers.
After dragging on for these days, the biggest gain is that Xiao Liu finally succeeded in making a terrain sand table near Luodu City. Every hill, every river, every flat land, every main road, every wood, in the vicinity of Lodu has been made in detail. Looking at this sand table, the situation near Luodu City is clear at a glance.
On the evening of the eighth day, after several days of reconnaissance and research, the brothers and sisters finally had a clear grasp of the current situation. After discussing for a night, the two tentatively decided on a battle strategy.
The next day, Li Deyi went to the place where the Tuliao people walked their horses to reconnoitre, but this time, Li Deyi carried an extra burden and brought a special military shovel for digging in Weibei Camp.
Commander Xiao Liu learned from the news brought back by the scouts that the Tuliao camp was not far from the Turbid River near Luodu City. This Turbidity River is a major tributary of the Yellow Turbidity River, and the other tributary is the Jingqing River, which joins the Yellow Turbidity River in the south of Luodu City. At the confluence of these two rivers, the water of the two rivers is obviously divided into two halves, one clear and one turbid, which is also a great wonder of Xijing Luodu. And this yellow turbidity river flows through Luodu City, all the way to the northeast direction, and finally in the Zhongshen City and the southwest of the world's other big river, the Changqing River, the two converge into one, into the world's largest river, Shuangshui River, all the way to the east to the sea.
In fact, if you think about it, there are 60,000 cavalry in the army of the West Liaoning Road, which are all elite cavalry, not only 60,000 soldiers, but also more than 100,000 war horses. The amount of water that this centaur needs to drink every day is not a small number. Not to mention the kneeling slaves who accompanied the army, two-legged sheep, 10,000 cannon fodder in Shimaizhou, etc., so many people and horses have to drink water every day. Therefore, the camp of the Tuliao people must be close to the big river, and only in this way can the daily drinking water needs of the army be met.
Some people say that the Tuliao people can dig wells. Brothers, the Tuliao people have lived in water and grass for generations, and only a few years ago when they established Tongwan City, did they settle down. A few sweet wells in Tongwan City were drilled by Fan Guoshi with craftsmen captured from the Pingzhou Dynasty. Therefore, until now, the Tuliao people have not mastered the technology of drilling wells.
After learning the news that the camp of the Tuliao people was not far from the Turbid Water River, the head of the regiment Xiao Liu made preparations, and this morning, taking advantage of the dawn, called a few familiar scouts, rode horses, and rushed all the way to the upper reaches of the Turbid River to explore the terrain.
The brothers and sisters went their separate ways in the morning, each busy with their own work.
After Li Deyi rode the "Humvee" to the place, he did not let the "Humvee" go hunting with the "Four Eyes", and only let the "Four Eyes" go alone. By this time, the genius was slightly bright, and according to the observations of these days, it would take about a quarter of an hour for the Tuliao people to come out to walk their horses. Li Deyi took advantage of this time, and rushed directly to the flat ground under the hillside, and dug up with a shovel in the place where the Tuliao war horse trampled the most.
He dug three pits in a row, and then mysteriously took out three fist-sized things from the burden behind him, buried them in the pit, and then covered the soil again, and grabbed two handfuls of dry soil and sprinkled them on top to cover up the traces of digging up new soil. As soon as the last pit was built, Li Deyi heard the neighing of horses coming from the Tuliao camp behind him, followed by the rumbling sound of ten thousand horses stepping on the earth.
In a hurry, he sprinkled a few handfuls of dry soil on it to cover up the surrounding traces, and Li De picked up the shovel and ran up the hillside as fast as he could, hiding behind the boulders and hiding. After a while, a large group of war horses of the Tuliao people really came out.
Li Deyi hid behind the hillside, carefully raised his head to observe the horses under the mountain, in order to conceal, there was still a lot of dog tail grass on his head, and he made a grass circle with dog tail grass.
After a while, seeing that the group of war horses was passing by the three pits he had dug, Li Deyi reached out and touched a handful of small stones prepared in advance, and aimed at one of the three pits. I hit a pebble and went over!
