The crisis was finally lifted, what Lin Bin had to do now became much simpler, he heard what Liu Jing meant, that is, to make this team an unrecognized armed force again, on the surface, it seems that the object of this army's allegiance is the abandoned Lin Bin, but in fact, the object of allegiance is the royal family, this army should accept Liu Jing's dispatch, and the royal family will give this army logistics support in return. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Lin Bin would not be stupid enough to ask the royal family what means to control this army, there are countless means for the royal family to control this army, the supply lines and family members of an army are controlled, and in the absence of soldiers, they will never be able to jump very high, and they can only be controlled by others. Lin Bin asked himself if he was an ambitious figure? He doesn't think he has any ambitions, he only wants to live and see the process of the rise of this great empire with his own eyes, if he can make a contribution, it would be great, after all, no one wants to be lonely in the world.

Gongsun Hong's mood was extremely complicated, and a design turned into nothing in the end, he had his own ideas, and paid a lot for it, and kept encouraging Lin Bin to move forward to Heshuo, saying that it was naturally impossible to have no purpose, and the goal was about to be reached, but unexpectedly a Xiao Fuzi jumped out, causing the team to turn around.

Gongsun Hong's design failed, and he felt that there was a crisis in the supply of the team when he was anxious, and decisively made another plan to let Lin Bin rob and kill the grassland tribe, Lin Bin only accepted the suggestion again under the conditions at that time, and Gongsun Hong also saw the dawn of the completion of the goal, and the fact was the same as Gongsun Hong expected, the nomadic coalition army came, and that army also came. For this reason, Gongsun Hong was so excited that he almost revealed his flaws, but this time the design once again failed under the destruction of external forces, causing Gongsun Hong to almost doubt his intelligence. I was lonely for several days because of this.

Now, Gongsun Hong looked at Lin Bin, and began to think hard about his future plans, no matter what, he had to let Lin Bin make contact with that army!

Lin Bin was assigning a new task, and a sergeant came to report, and Li Xi was invited.

"There's a fortress right in the same place I'm drawing, and you have to find it. And improve it, this matter will be handled by Jiahe, and Chen Xi will assist from the side. Chen Yi, Yun Zhao. You will set off tomorrow, and before the military and civilians of Hexi County are relocated, you will take over the materials left behind from the officers and soldiers and transfer them to that fortress. Gongsun Hong? ”

Gongsun Hong hurriedly responded: "No"

"You and I go to see Li Xi together. Others run errands! ”

The two walked on foot under the sergeant's lead. They had made their way through most of the camp and were led to a fence full of prisoners. Li Xi sat on a tall horse and was pointing at the captives with a horsewhip.

The nearly 3,000 Qiang people who were captured were huddled together under the ice and snow, and they were almost all pale and their lips purple.

When Li Xi saw Lin Bin coming, he laughed and jumped off the war horse, "Come to the wind, return with the wind!" ”

Lin Bin didn't understand what Li Xi meant, so he clenched his fists and shouted, "Master Li!" Then he visited the Qiang captives who were about to freeze to death. Some good warriors of the grassland have now become this miserable picture. It's better to die in battle.

Li Xi glanced at Gongsun Hong and said a few words of greeting, which made Gongsun Hong feel surprised and hurriedly responded.

"What do you think of these captives?"

Lin Bin listened to Li Xi's indifference in questioning, and thought to himself, "This is also a ruthless person", and then withdrew his gaze to look at Li Xi, and saw the killing intent in Li Xi's eyes. Lin Bin almost immediately thought that Li Xi had to solve this matter before he could leave, but he was unwilling to bear the infamy of 'killing prisoners', so he summoned himself, with the intention of letting him take over this hot hand.

Li Xi saw Lin Bin squinting at him, his heart was flushed, he laughed a few times, and led away.

When the Qiang captives who were shivering and shivering saw the murderous demon king appear, their hearts that were almost numb from the cold magically 'dong dong' accelerated the rhythm of beating, and the Qiang people at the bottom didn't know much, the only thing they knew was the scene that was staged in front of everyone's eyes some time ago, one after another clansmen were pulled out, and their heads fell to the ground under a command.

It is not strange that the grassland is dead, for many years the tribes have been attacking, and people are dying on the grassland almost all the time, but it is a dignified way to die, not to be pulled out like a livestock and hit the ground with a wave of a sharp weapon. The beliefs of the Qiang people make them dare not accept such a way of death, except to die of old age, otherwise they die without resistance, their gods are unwilling to take them in, and their souls cannot rest in peace.

Faith can make people brave, and of course it can also make people cowardly because of what they are afraid of, and at this time, the Qiang people who are so cold that they can't even speak can not even speak, they watch the person continue to step forward because of what they are afraid of, and their bodies tremble faster because of what they are afraid of.

Gongsun Hong quietly pulled Lin Bin, and the two slowed down......

"My lord, do you know what Li Xi wants to do?"

“……。 Nonsense, nothing more than trying to make me the knife. ”

"Then the ...... of your lord"

Lin Bin stopped talking, and looked at the Qiang people in the fence, he had formed an irresolvable hatred with the Qiang people, and he didn't care about killing a few more people. Lin Bin also knew that he couldn't simply accept it, he always had to learn something after suffering a few losses, he had to ask for something, he would definitely give something, and it would not be too late to see what Li Xi used in exchange.

Li Xiha let out a white breath and looked at Lin Bin with a smile, "How?" ”

Gongsun Hong frowned, he did not object to Lin Bin selling a favor to Li Xi, this is also a kind of establishing a good relationship, but this is far from enough, in Gongsun Hong's view, that kind of ethereal favor is useless, the gate valve will not care about any favor for the sake of interests, killing is bound to kill, but Li Xi can't be cheap and good, you must pay a practical price. Gongsun Hong looked at Lin Bin eagerly, and only said out loud that it was a powerful relationship.

Lin Bin still looked at the Qiang people in the fence quietly, he would not have the word miserliness in his heart, and after seeing enough, he turned his head to look at Li Xi, and asked with a smile: "Lord Li will not send these captives back to Chang'an for a prisoner sacrifice ceremony?" ”

Li Xi was also laughing on the surface, and he smiled very calmly, but he was full of resentment in his heart. He has been transferred by an edict, and he has returned to Chang'an, and he doesn't know what the prisoner sacrifice ceremony is. simply took the bait: "My Li clan has some property here, and I have already explained it, if you have something to find." ”

Unpleasant, Lin Bin listened very unpleasantly, and the central government repeatedly contracted the defensive line, and once again ordered the military and civilians of Hexi County to shrink, giving way to the area close to the Hetao as a buffer zone. The property in this vicinity will inevitably retract, which is equivalent to an empty word.

Li Xi saw that Lin Bin's face instantly turned cold, and knew that Lin Bin was not fooled. Li Xi didn't feel embarrassed, and said directly, "Do you know that you will be the captain of the capital of Shangjun in the future?" ”

Lin Bin nodded, but just didn't speak.

"It is known. How do you not know why? It's the plan of the present! In the future, you and me. You are outside, you are inside, you should work together, how can you do this for some small things? ”

Lin Bin now completely understands the plan of the Son of Heaven, he was still puzzled at the beginning why the Son of Heaven was willing to support secretly, and he was not afraid of the development to the point of uncontrollable, it turned out that he had mastered the lifeline of supply and arranged for Li Xi to watch from the side. Now Lin Bin knew that he couldn't be hypocritical anymore, if the relationship was stiffened. In the end, it is still himself who suffers, after all, he doesn't have any capital to fight with Li Xi.

Li Xi was still laughing. Laughing very happily, he already knew the attitude of the Son of Heaven, and reusing himself must be to support the Li family gate valve, not only did he get benefits, but he also had to get practical benefits because of the weakness of the Su family gate valve to improve his prestige. The Son of Heaven is still the Son of Heaven after all, as long as you follow the Son of Heaven with all your heart, you are not afraid that you will not get benefits!

Li Xi looked at Lin Bin's expression and knew that this arrogant martial artist had compromised, smart people would always not say something explicitly, they would only explain a beginning, and then let others guess for themselves, so no matter what the result was, he could always benefit from it.

"So, Li is gone."

**********************************************************************

Gongsun Hong saw Li Xi patting his ass and leaving, and leaned in, "My lord, you and I have a worrying future!" ”

Lin Bin nodded gloomily, shouted to the soldiers next to him, and gathered soldiers to surround the entire fence. After a while, waiting for the soldiers to surround the entire fence with full armament, Lin Bin said indifferently: "Throw a few knives into it, let these Qiang people watch it themselves, do you want to die with dignity, or ......."

What about the executioner, the duty of a soldier is to kill people in the first place! Lin Bin never felt that he was a great good person, no matter if he was a prisoner or something, as long as there was a potential threat, he had to be killed!

"Huh! Since others have come all the way to chase after us, we always have to pay the price! Do you think it's a good thing to keep these people? The enmity between the Qiang people and us is too great, once one escapes, I am afraid that another 10,000 Qiang cavalry will chase and kill us. Take your time, don't provoke the crowd to resist, they will always be killed. ”

Some of the soldiers understood, beckoned Pao Ze to bring the sword blade, roared at the Qiang people in the fence, and threw the sword blade into the fence.

Gongsun Hong's pupils shrank obviously, he liked Lin Bin's decisiveness, but he didn't like Lin Bin to be a person who could only raise a butcher's knife and didn't know why he wanted to raise a butcher's knife.

"Adult ......"

Lin Bin raised his hand to stop, "Go do your own business, I'll watch here." ”

You don't see, the lion and tiger prey has gained prestige, who has pity for the poor elk? The world has always been strong and weak, even if it is justified, it is in vain.

Gongsun Hong didn't leave, he still stood in place and watched, he was not a good stubble, so he naturally understood what Lin Bin was thinking. The number of captives is too much, if you don't kill Lin Bin, who has too strong a sense of crisis, he feels insecure, and the intention of throwing the sword blade into it is to break the Qiang people's sense of resistance, and the next step is probably to let the soldiers rush in and chop wildly, in fact, Gongsun Hong knows that whether the Qiang people resist or not, it will be the same result, and Lin Bin will still give the order to kill sooner or later.

This is a seemingly barbaric choice, but it is a very reasonable choice, what slave does such a person need? In particular, these captives could be the trigger for another big war at any time, and until you are ready, one is the best option.

Lin Bin saw that the Qiang people were still staring blankly at the sword blade on the ground, and he was a little impatient, he didn't have time to continue to consume it here, so he once again let his own soldiers come forward and shout.

This time, some of the Qiang people finally moved, and their faith did not allow them to die without resistance. Only greet acquaintances and give each other a ride. Gradually, more and more Qiang people who did not want to be slaves to the enemy chose to die with dignity, and the atmosphere of mourning within the fence became stronger and stronger......

In ancient times, the people of the Yan State were unwilling to submit to the Qin people. Choosing to march to the guillotine of the Qin people in groups to show their unyieldingness, the existing Qiang people who were unwilling to be slaves to their enemies stabbed each other to death.

The elite of the former Northern Army had never seen such a scene, and some people began to move their feet unbearably, and some soldiers would always stupidly have a feeling called 'sympathy', but they didn't know that sympathizing with others was cruel to themselves.

Lin Bin obviously discovered the mentality of the former Northern Army sergeant, and called for Qing Shui, "You lead people in." When I saw one of the three choices that didn't die, I chopped it directly. ”

Love water smacked his tongue, "What...... What the? My lord! These Qiang people were already willing to be slaves. How do you still want to kill? ”

Lin Bin raised his foot and kicked it, "Now that the military order is out, do you dare to disrespect!?" ”

Qing Shui saw that the other officers were looking at him with disdain, and gritted his teeth and responded, "No!" ”。 Mobilize soldiers as you run. There was a chill in his heart, "Is this adult too cruel?" ”

Gongsun Hong saw that the corners of his mouth curled, his own lord was deterring the new sergeant again, it used to be in the grassland to deter the new expedition, and now those subordinates are all soldiers who obey the order, this time the object of deterrence has been replaced by the elite of the Northern Army, Gongsun Hong is looking forward to what means his own adults will use to subdue this proud army.

The fence was pulled open, and the soldiers of the love water led the soldiers to enter with their blades. When the Qiang people saw the Han army entering, they probably knew what was going to happen, but some of them would rather commit suicide than resist. It's an amazing state of mind. People whose will has been disintegrated don't expect to do anything, they can only watch the Han army continue to make choices, the originally pale faces of the Qiang people who were pulled up turned dead ash, and Qingshui strictly implemented Lin Bin's military order, executed one of the three choices and slaughtered, and in a moment there were less than seven hundred Qiang people alive.

"Killing one is a crime, and slaughtering ten thousand is a hero. They will understand this one day. Under the current conditions, there is no coexistence at all, and if you don't cut off the potential threat, you will definitely die. Lin Bin looked at the slaughter inside the fence, he had never thought about keeping any slaves from the beginning, doing this was just a shock. He ordered Gongsun Hong again, "When the water situation comes out, you bring someone in to finish." ”

Gongsun Hong had already known that this was the result, and after answering the promise, he invited the robe Ze to give some orders, and the soldier who knew that he was going to be holding a knife and seeing blood was actually running down with excitement to repeat the order.

Lin Bin just stood quietly in place and watched the soldiers under his command rush in with a scream, as if they were cutting Philippine vegetables, killing the captives layer by layer without difficulty. He didn't learn anything else when he came here, the only thing he learned was to be ruthless, if he wasn't ruthless, he wouldn't be qualified to survive!

After looking at it for a while, Lin Bin felt that there was no need to look at it anymore, and turned away, in the era of the weak and the strong, the person who licked the blood on the knife edge was not qualified to spare others, and his hand holding the handle of the knife was already strong!

*********************************************************************

Three days later, the party marched in the snow until it reached the periphery of an abandoned hoarding site. Gen Linbin knew that the terrain here was remote and did not belong to the necessary route, so the city defense facilities at the hoarding point were still very perfect, and its existence was used by the border army as a place to hoard materials. This time it was abandoned not because of the tension of the army, but because of a major strategic adjustment, the soldiers inside were withdrawn, but the materials were left, which was obviously part of the plan of the Son of Heaven.

In fact, Lin Bin felt a little funny, how could the dignified monarch of a country have so much leisure time to calculate and deploy these, and even the hidden locations were arranged, this is also too exaggerated, shouldn't the emperor be in charge of everything? What Lin Bin didn't know was that the Son of Heaven was indeed very idle for a period of time, and he was almost moldy, and the only thing he could do was to stare at the map in a daze, repeatedly thinking about what would happen if he fought against the Huns, and it was precisely in this way that the Son of Heaven staged a plan in the future; A magical repertoire that wins thousands of miles away.

Jia He and Chen Xi had already received this place two days ago, and when they saw the pile full of beans and other supplies, their only emotion was that they could finally eat a meal from the Central Plains, and when they saw the weapons and metal in the arsenal, they couldn't say a word.

What Lin Bin saw when he entered was not beans, let alone weapons and metal. It was a black crowd, all dressed as ordinary people, all of them were strong men. Lin Bin had already known from Liu Jing that there were craftsmen and people at the hoarding point. At this time, the decision-maker's thinking was that the army needed logistics, so it must need craftsmen and people, craftsmen were responsible for repairing armor and weapons, and then new weapons were made for the use of sergeants; The Minyu is used to transport grain, and without craftsmen and Minyu, it is not called an army, which is a strange idea.

Lin Bin doesn't need Minyu. But he didn't need to say it, these more than 4,000 people were some quasi-soldiers in his eyes, and they could be selected for training. so that it can be used to replenish the military. He valued those craftsmen very much, just as everyone knows, an army without craftsmen is really not called an army! The army's consumption of weapons in battle is very large. There were no craftsmen to make weapons to supplement the army. Do you want to sharpen sticks and fight people's lives?

Two days ago, Lin Bin learned from Liu Jing that the Son of Heaven called his army as the 'Tiger and Leopard Cavalry', and simply accepted the title of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, but he couldn't help laughing when he reacted.

Right now. Lin Bin silently watched as a battle flag was raised to the highest point of this city pass, and the battle flag was written 'Tiger and Leopard' waving in the wind. This unambitious figure looked at it with a smile, and didn't notice that Gongsun Hong, who was standing next to him, had extremely hot eyes, and seemed to be constantly muttering something.

Lin Bin went up to the city tower, saw the crowd below busy, and felt extremely embarrassed when he saw the roofless cantonment house, once upon a time he and Dou Shiyan and Lu Wu Zuomu were resting together in the kind of cantonment house without a roof, but now it is the past, and I can't help but sigh secretly in my heart. Looking at the outside of the city, the slope in front of you is undulating, which is not suitable for formation; On the left side of the wall there is a stream whose name is unknown; About a thousand paces from the city wall on the right is a forest that is extremely difficult to see in the side of the wall, and the extent of the forest seems to be quite large, while behind it is a stream that runs from the left.

"No wonder they will choose such a place to build a hoarding point, there is no suitable plain here for military formation, if there is an enemy attack, it will not be able to occupy the terrain at all, you can only wave a small group of troops to repeat the strong attack, as long as the food and weapons are enough, 3,000 soldiers can resist the strong attack of less than 50,000 enemy troops for three months or even longer!"

Lin Bin took his eyes back, smelled the scent of beans and turned his head to look at the inner city, the smoke of cooking rose above a clearing, the men were busy making food, and some soldiers on the side couldn't help but swallow their saliva as they watched Minyu scrub the beans and yellow rice; Min Yu watched the man bring the livestock, stabbed the neck of the cattle and sheep with a sharp knife, and listened to the screams of the livestock in a daze. The scene looked very strange, the soldiers turned a blind eye to the meat food, but the people, who had hardly eaten meat, were salivating and funny.

After a long time, a trumpet sounded under the tower, and then someone began to beat the war drum on the left side of the tower, and after three sounds, people were constantly gathering in the open space, and lined up under the shouts of the officers, which was to line up to receive food.

The soldiers seemed to be excited to eat the familiar meal, and happily received the rice cooked with beans and yellow rice, and carefully took the vegetable soup, and went away with a smile on their faces, as if they had received a treasure; On the other side, Minyu was surprised to receive the meat, and kept asking the man who distributed the food, "Is it wrong?" I'm not a sergeant......", and the result was that the guy shouted, "Eat some and eat, and the next one!" ”。

Lin Bin watched quietly, until he heard footsteps behind him, and then turned around, and saw Gongsun Hong and Jia He coming together, they were holding a desk, and on top of the desk was a unique meal of the Han Kingdom.

In the past, it was a march, and the status was low, Lin Bin only drank bean porridge is to gnaw pasta, although he has no official position now, but he is also the head of an army, in the era of paying attention to dignity and humility, the food of the superior can be said to be extremely exquisite, which is a kind of expression of status.

In fact, in the Han Dynasty, the main cooking methods were basically available:

Frying, unlike modern times, refers to dry frying or adding water, boiling until dry, if there is still residual water at the end, then this is called boiling.

Roasting, grilling meat, is probably the earliest cooking method of human beings since the advent of fire.

Steamed, as in modern times.

Frying, with boiling water or frying, but according to the Qin and Han volumes of the "History of Chinese Folk Customs", there was solid animal oil at this time, but it was not used for frying.

Finely chopped with a knife, sashimi. Raw meat, that's how it's made. At that time, there was no jiesu, so the raw fish was ginger. Xin Yannian has a cloud of poetry. 'I'm asking for delicacies, golden carp'. (Occupied by Japanese foreign law)

Preserved meat, that is, bacon.

The main condiments are salt, vinegar, sauce, sugar (starch sugar, sugarcane sugar was introduced from India in the Tang Dynasty), green onions, ginger, Sichuan pepper, meat sauce, caviar. Garlic. Hehe, the spicy and unhappy Yan Ge Xing is offended, and there is no way. Pepper comes from the South Seas, and pepper has only been discovered in the New World.

In terms of staple food, ordinary people drink porridge, and there is wheat porridge. Rice porridge. Rice porridge is divided into glutinous rice porridge, yellow rice porridge, millet porridge, and rice porridge.

Of course, the common people and the sergeants who consume a lot of food can basically only drink soybean porridge, which is actually made of rice water and beans, and can also eat cakes, that is, dry food carried by soldiers during the march. Before the Song Dynasty, cake was a general term for pasta. Generally, the noodles are mixed with boiling water, or they can be mixed directly, and then steamed or fried.

In the Han Dynasty, they loved to eat sticky rice, so in the south, they often ate glutinous rice, and in the north, they often ate yellow rice.

'Winter Milk' was the main vegetable of the Han Dynasty. "Shuowen" 'Kwai and sunflower also' cabbage, spinach, taro, radish, leek, cucumber, gourd, lotus root, beans, etc., these are all vegetables of the Han Dynasty.

Meat, basically the same as today, generally speaking, mainly the traditional Chinese 'six animals', horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, chickens. The Han Dynasty people had no taboos. Eggs are also available in this era, but dairy products are rarely eaten by the people of the Han Dynasty.

Fish and shellfish are also loved by the Han Dynasty. During the Shang Dynasty, fish was eaten regularly by ordinary people, and after the Warring States period, fish and meat were status symbols (cf. Meng Weijun's story). Much like today's people, the nobles of the Han Dynasty later regarded meat as a rotten thing of the body, and advocated a healthy diet and eating vegetables; The poor, on the other hand, are very eager to eat meat, but meat is more expensive, so it is also popular to go into the water (animal offal).

Lin Bin swallowed his saliva at the Han food full of cases, and was very emotional. Once Lin Bin knew that this was the Han Dynasty, what he hoped was to be able to taste the wonderful food at this time, but for various reasons, he could only see it and not eat it, but now he could eat it, but he was a little dazed, as far as he knew, there should be no chef who can make such a wonderful table.

"The princess asked her maid to do it." Gongsun Hong said, as if he had to take out a wine jug from his arms, "Hehe, this is the palace turbid wine, which Jing treasured in Fengluan, and now take it out for me to drink." ”

Jiahe twitched his face, and he didn't give Gongsun Hong face: "Princess Jing made it clear that this is for adults." If a gentleman does not take gifts from others, how can he distort the will of others? ”

Lin Bin took the wine jug with a smile and filled the bottle for the two, "Drink." After taking a sip of it, he felt that it was incomparably light, and the sour taste was much worse than the hot and sour wine of the grassland people, so he simply stopped drinking it, but focused on eliminating the food on the table.

"What do you plan to do in the future?"

"Lurk here until spring, make adequate preparations during this period of time, wait for next year's spring, and lead the army out of the fortress."

"Hong has something unclear, I hope the adults will solve it."

Koga glanced at Gongsun Hong, put down the jar, and seemed to have the same confusion, pausing to wait intently for an answer.

Lin Bin probably knew what the two were confused about, nothing more than why they should follow Liu Jing's arrangement, which was not in line with their previous expectations. As everyone knows, what Lin Bin, as the head of the first army, hopes for most is to get a chance to lurk, correct the army well, get sufficient supplies, and grow stronger with the support of the Han royal family. The royal family has royal plans, and Lin Bin naturally has his own plans, he will never be willing to infiltrate into the political struggle, and the gate valve will force himself and others to have nowhere to go, and rashly crash into it is not looking for death?

When he has no ability to change anything, Lin Bin wants to be lurking, since the Son of Heaven wants a topographic map of Northern Xinjiang, then he will try his best to find out, and if the conditions permit, he will give the Son of Heaven more, provided that his survival is guaranteed.

"I know what you're trying to ask, but I can't tell you the answer. All I want to tell you is that no one can do something that harms others or himself for some reason. There is nothing wrong with having ambitions, but in a specific environment, you must learn to suppress your ambitions, otherwise you will be the ones who will suffer. ”

Gongsun Hong and Jia He looked at each other when they heard this, and they didn't seem to understand what Lin Bin was talking about.

After a long time, Gongsun Hong seemed to understand, "My lord is saying, lurking; Develop; Grow? ”

Lin Bin glanced at Gongsun Hong deeply and nodded slowly.
