102, the treatment of the Dragon Elephant Army
When Bai Ma Yicong returned to the city, he was applauded by all the soldiers and officials, and soon spread the word, becoming a hero among the citizens of Fuyang.
"Strong, the soldiers of the Dragon Elephant Army are really heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals." Xiang Kang praised in ecstasy, and all the officials also praised it one after another.
Bai Ziyun smiled slightly, "My Dragon Elephant Army is the guardian of my Immortal Gate, and its main duty is to guard the Mountain Gate and subdue demons and eliminate demons. ”
Xiang Kang said with a smile: "The world knows the benevolence and righteousness of the Venerable Lord, and this Xianbei attack is coming, and I hope that the Venerable God will remove it." ”
Bai Ziyun said regretfully: "My Zhurong technique is too powerful, it hurts the heavens and harms the peace, and it can't be used often, but Xiang Taishou can rest assured, with me here, it will definitely make these barbarians have no return." ”
Xiang Kang suddenly said to him that he was confused, since there was harm to heaven and peace, why did he let these barbarians "come and go"? In fact, the real reason is that Bai Ziyun's fire snake technique is too consuming of true qi, and now he has only recovered two percent of his internal strength, which is enough for him to burn hundreds of Xianbei people, and there is no injury to tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry.
Xiang Kang looked at the bright lights in the distance, Xianbei was encamping, it seemed that he would not attack tonight, so he said: "Your Excellency, it is getting late today, Hu Lu has already rested, and I will arrange food and drink to entertain His Excellency and all the soldiers." ”
"No, Xiang Taishou, just raise the ingredients, I'll eat them in the barracks." Bai Ziyun said with a smile.
"No." Xiang Kang hurriedly agreed, and the generals and soldiers ate and slept together, sharing weal and woe, which has been the case since ancient times, and there is nothing strange about it.
The Dragon Elephant Army was brought into the military camp in the city, and soon set up military tents, which became the private land of the Dragon Elephant Army, and it was inconvenient for Xiang Kang and other officials to enter. Bai Ziyun said with a smile: "It's okay, there's no big secret, everyone just needs to enter." By the way, I had a meal in the camp, and my skills as a cook in the army were not bad. ”
The officials immediately thanked them, and their hearts were still yearning, to say that there are many things that Changliu Xianmen are famous for, and the most famous of them is the cooking skills of Changliu Xianmen, and there is a feast today.
The officials entered the barracks to visit for a while, there was indeed no big secret, but the ingenious design inside was admired by the officials, but Xiang Kang snorted, frowned, and said: "Your Excellency, it is the time to face the war, why are these soldiers still drinking?" ”
All the officials also showed strange looks, and their eyes all turned to a few doctors with medicine boxes, and the doctors all had a glass bottle in their hands, and the bottle contained a crystal liquid. I thought in my heart, this wine has a strong taste, but it is obviously not as mellow as Moutai, it seems that Moutai is such a noble wine, even if it is a long stay in Xianmen, not everyone can drink it.
When Bai Ziyun saw it, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "It is indeed wine, but it is a very high concentration of wine, named alcohol, which cannot be drunk by people, and the main purpose is to disinfect the wound, so that the wound will not suppurate." "Disinfection with alcohol is not an uncommon thing in Zhuo County for a long time, and the officials here don't know it, which makes Bai Ziyun quite surprised, Shanggu County is not far from Zhuo County.
At this time, a large number of ingredients had been delivered, and the ten chefs in the Dragon Elephant Army immediately started to cook the dishes at high speed, and the aroma of the dishes came to the nose, and soon one dish after another was served.
Xiang Kang and other ministers frowned slightly, although this dish is good, there is no table, which is not in line with etiquette, but it is normal for the barracks to be simple.
Immediately, everyone showed a look of surprise, and saw that the cook broke a piece of cloth in his hand and put it on the ground, and it became a table, but the height was much higher than the usual table.
"The barracks are too simple, please forgive me." Bai Ziyun said, breaking off the cloth one by one, and then the beds (stools) appeared.
Everyone was amazed, Xiang Kang touched the table and the bed, it turned out to be made of wooden pipes and cloth, wooden pipes are just that, this cloth is a little thicker than ordinary silk, how can it bear the weight of a person without breaking? Other people also have this idea, and they are uneasy, but they all want to sit down later, and I will sit down immediately, and it will be okay if the bed is broken and I fall.
This can't be blamed for their worries, silk in this era is easy to shatter if it is forced, not to mention a person with more than a hundred pounds to sit on it.
Bai Ziyun glanced at everyone, laughed in his heart, pulled up a chair and sat down, and said with a smile: "Everyone sit down." ”
Xiang Kang and the others hurriedly sat down, secretly surprised in their hearts, this Hu bed is really strong, light in weight, and easy to carry, it is really good for the generals of the army.
The container for the dishes is a square box of ceramics with three small square pits, one large and two small, the dishes are not rich, but they are extraordinarily delicious. At the beginning, Xiang Kang and others thought it was a special dish for the generals, but when the sergeants ate it, they realized that everyone treated everyone equally and shared weal and woe. However, such a delicious dish is not much different from the top restaurant dishes in Fuyang, and it is really a blessing to be a Taoist soldier who stays in the Xianmen for a long time, and I envy mortals.
"The shape of this food box is quite strange and convenient, and it is the first time I have seen it in the next place." Xiang Kang was very envious of the dragon elephant sergeant who could use an iron rice bowl, but he could only use pottery.
"This kind of food box shape is very commonly used in Xiandao, but the kind is made of steel that does not rust, and now it is hastily made under the bottom, and the process is limited, so it is very inconvenient to use pottery."
This kind of fast-food-shaped food box in later generations is actually not practical, and it is not as convenient and practical as a large iron bowl, but the big iron bowl is too unsightly and easy to rust, so Bai Ziyun chose pottery that is relatively small and easy to break, but was secretly despised by Xiang Kang and others, feeling that pottery is not as noble as ironware, and respecting this is ruining himself.
Some people may ask, why not use the porcelain plates of later generations, this needs to look at the times, first, porcelain is easy to break compared to pottery, not suitable for military use; Second, the dining customs of the nobles of the Han Dynasty are the same as those in the West today, and they are also one meal per person, and if one person eats with plates, the number of plates will be increased, and the difficulty of logistics will be increased.
Xiang Kang and others despised the fast food square plate in their hearts, and envied the iron rice bowl of the soldiers, but the idea of the soldiers was just the opposite of them, and the soldiers were envious of their ability to use the ceramic square plate, which was called the Baiyun square plate, which was often used and loved by the honorable tableware, and only the officers had the right to use it, I had to kill the enemy well, and if I had merit and became an officer, I could use it, and the soldiers thought enviously.
Xiang Kang and the others saw that the soldiers frequently cast envious glances, which made them inexplicable, didn't Your Excellency often eat with you? What is there to envy?
Bai Ziyun smiled at the corner of his mouth, knowing in his heart that this was the class he deliberately made the army, if he treated everyone equally, the sergeant did not have a sense of encouragement, and he did not have a sense of glory in his heart, but fell behind. Bai Ziyun designed a detailed reward and promotion system in the Dragon Elephant Army, ranging from teaching exercises and promoting positions to clothing and utensils. Different identities are treated differently, which is in line with the characteristics of this era.
