Chapter 57: Scout Squad (Part II)

Although the person was killed by Li Yong, he shot the other party to death from a distance with an arrow, so he didn't feel anything unusual, but when he saw Liu Shichang fiddling with the other party's corpse as if he was dealing with livestock, the severed neck was also turning around in front of his eyes, and the muscles on the flat and bloody wound on it were flipped, and it looked like it was no different from the meat he usually ate.

Seeing Li Yong's performance, Liu Shichang smiled, he was originally deliberate, from the moment they met, he could see that the other party was a rookie and had never been on the battlefield at all, so he pulled him to help him dispose of the corpse, wanting Li Yong to get used to it, so that he would not be weak when he went to the battlefield in the future.

Picking off all the things that could be used on the corpse, Liu Shichang shouted at Li Yong, who was still retching: "Brother Li, are you done vomiting, come and help cook after vomiting, today is the last canned braised pork, and it will be gone if you are late!" ”

Originally, Li Yong had almost vomited, but as soon as he heard the word 'braised pork', the kind of red and oily fat immediately flashed in front of his eyes, and it felt so similar to the meat on the neck of the dead corpse just now. Thinking of this, there was another churn in my stomach, and a stream of sour water spurted out again.

When the others saw Li Yong's performance, they all giggled and laughed, especially those recruits, who had a gloating expression, although they were also like bears in the first few months, but it did not prevent them from laughing at others.

As a noble child who has been clothed and fed since childhood. Although he was rolling among the veterans of the Qi Palace's mansion all year last year, all the basic qualities were trained. But it was the first time to face a dead body, so nausea and vomiting were also normal psychological reactions. Until Li Yong vomited everything he could. Only then was Liu Shichang carried him, and he walked to the fire and sat down.

"Brother, feel better, drink hot water, kill a few more people next time, and you won't feel anything!" Erdanzi poured a pot of freshly boiled hot water. Then he handed it to Li Yong and said.

Li Yong didn't have the strength to be polite, so he took a sip and drank it, and as the hot water entered his stomach, he was really much more comfortable. For Liu Shichang's kindness. Li Yong naturally also understands that in addition to the fact that he has been in the army for a year, and his brothers often make some kind or malicious jokes between them, he knows that this is the way for soldiers to express their feelings, and people can make this kind of joke to themselves, which means that they have completely accepted him and no longer treat him as an outsider, so he is also very happy in his heart.

Liu Shichang They are scouts, everything pays attention to advancing lightly, and they can fight when they encounter enemies. If you can't beat it, you can run away, so it is naturally impossible to bring cooking utensils such as pots, but this is not difficult for them at all, scrub the helmet on the head with snow, it is a good pot, and after boiling the snow water on the fire, Erdanzi took out a few bamboo tubes from the horse, pounded them in it with a horizontal knife, and poured out a bunch of braised pork pieces that had been frozen into stone.

Although Li Yong was disgusted when he looked at the meat. But there was nothing to vomit in his stomach, and he looked at the meat, and felt that it was familiar, so he asked, "Brother, why does this meat look so canned?" ”

"What is called like, it is originally canned." Erdanzi said with a greedy face.

"Aren't cans all glass bottles, how did they become bamboo tubes?" Li Yong asked with a puzzled expression.

"Don't mention it, it's because of an order from above!" Hearing Li Su's question, the old dog who was busy next to him also spoke.

"What order?"

At this time, Liu Shichang replied: "That's the case, because glass bottles are more valuable, and after the cans are eaten, the glass bottles can be recycled, so the top ordered us to bring out the cans after eating, we must bring the bottles back and hand them in, even if they are broken, we must bring the pieces back, if it is a large army, it is okay, anyway, there is a special baggage team, and the bottle is not a big problem, but a team scout like us naturally has to travel lightly, and it is quite cumbersome to carry these glass cans, but they are not allowed to throw them away after eating, In desperation, we had to come up with a way, when we came out, we poured out all the food in the canned food and put it in the bamboo tube, so that we don't have to worry about breaking it, and we can throw away the bamboo tube after eating, plus the current weather, we don't have to worry about it breaking, so many people in the army are doing this now. ”

After listening to Liu Shichang's explanation, Li Yong nodded, he once heard Li Su say that canned food was originally invented to solve the problem of food preservation, but because glass is fragile, it is not suitable for making a single soldier's food, unless other materials are used instead of glass.

Erdanzi poured all the braised pork into a helmet, and as the fire heated, a tempting fragrance soon emerged, although Li Yong still felt a little nauseous, but it would already be much better, and at this time, the others also took out the dough, or roasted it on the fire, or chopped it directly, ready to throw it into hot water to turn into a batter and drink.

Seeing this, Li Yong hurriedly stopped everyone, stood up and took out two 'bricks' from his own horse, Erdanzi ran up and grabbed one and smelled it, and found that there was a smell of food, so he opened his mouth and wanted to take a bite to taste the taste, but this mouth went down, and he bit a small piece, but his teeth were also painful.

Seeing Erdanzi's actions, Li Yong laughed, when he vomited just now, he counted how happy this kid laughed, and now it was finally his turn to laugh. And the others were also a little curious, and ran over to get the bricks to study, but they didn't see what was made of them after looking at it for a long time.

Li Yong took the brick from Erdanzi's hand, smashed it with a knife more than a dozen times, and finally smashed it into several pieces, and the other one was also smashed by the old dog, and then divided into several piles and threw it into the iron helmet to cook, and after a while, there was an indescribable smell wafting out, and the water in the iron helmet also turned into a yellow-white thick soup.

"Come on, let's try it, this is the special military food newly sent to the South Route Army in Dengzhou, the name is a thousand catties of cakes, one piece is enough for one person to eat for two days, the only drawback is that it is too hard, but it will open when you soak it in water, and it tastes better with hot water!" Li Yong is boasting about himself, he has only eaten this thing once on the road, and after he felt bad, he never ate it again.

I heard that this is Dengzhou's special military food for the South Route Army, Liu Shichang and their eyes lit up, the South and West Route Armies have met, but the logistics are still supplied by two places, of which the South Route Army is naturally mainly supplied by Dengzhou, and the West Route Army is supplied by Yingzhou and other places, but compared to the sufficient supply of the South Route Army, the West Route Army is a little miserable, there are many restrictions on land transportation, plus Yingzhou and other places are not rich, so even if the rear is desperately transported, but the supply of the West Route Army is still tight.

Take canned food as an example, the South Route Army is distributed according to people, and each person can be divided into a bottle of canned food for three days, while the West Route Army is distributed according to military merits, how many military merits, how many canned food can be exchanged, Liu Shichang and their scouts are okay, although dangerous, but from time to time they can make some military merits, so they have never lacked meat, but some second-line troops are miserable, and they have not received much military merit since the war, and now they are about to become vegetarian monks.

And compared to the abundance of the South Route Army's provisions, the food of the West Route Army is also much worse, last time they had met with the scouts of the South Route Army, and when they ate together, they saw other people's food, although the staple food is also bread, but at least it is made of white flour, and canned food such as fish and meat is let go of eating. But on his side, he can only chew on the bread, not to mention that envy.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Shichang and the others were very excited when they heard that this was the military rations of the Southern Route Army, and they wanted to taste the difference, so after seeing that it was cooked, they immediately grabbed a helmet and drank it.

However, the soup taste of this jack cake is indeed a little strange, the most greedy second egg doesn't care about the heat, so he takes a big sip first, but he was washed away by the strange smell, and he frowned for a long time before swallowing it, Liu Shichang and they are all about the same, fortunately, the Yingzhou where they are stationed is not far from the sea, and they can occasionally eat seafood, so they can also adapt to the fishy smell.

Li Yong didn't care about others, he just vomited his stomach empty, and now he has eased up, and he is very hungry, so he gulped down the soup, and at the same time tore a few pieces of dough cake and soaked it in, this is also the first time he found that the soup of the original jack cake is actually quite delicious, but he only drinks soup and eats pastry, but he has not tasted a piece of braised pork, after all, the psychology is still a little shadow, and it is not something that can be adjusted in a short time.

The others saw that Li Yong's food was very fragrant, they tried to drink a few sips, and after getting used to it, they found that it was indeed not as bad as just now, and they all became excited, eating bread and drinking soup, and at the same time fighting with others for braised pork.

In just a few minutes, everything was eaten by them, and then everyone cleaned up together, searched the Goguryeo routs, threw all the trophies they could find on the surplus horses, turned the horses' heads and returned to Zhang Jian's camp.

Li Yong naturally followed them, because Liu Shichang told him that the king of Jiangxia was now stationed under the city of Anshi, and Zhang Jian's army was stationed in a small city on the right flank of Li Daozong, so Li Yong could go back with them first, and then go to Anshi City with the team that sent supplies, after all, Anshi City is still a battlefield, and there are many small-scale contact battles, and if Li Yong goes alone, it is too dangerous.

At the same time that Li Yong traveled thousands of miles to find Li Daozong, a conspiracy was also brewing in the city of Pyongyang, Goguryeo, in the main hall of the mansion of Yuangai Suwen, in addition to the three brothers of the Yuan family, there were also several military generals with real power, in order to solve the current predicament of Goguryeo, they had just gone through a fierce quarrel, and finally proposed by the Pure Land of Yuan, and finally came up with a theoretically feasible plan, and this plan was also related to Li Su.

However, if they want to complete this plan, they need to take a risk, if this plan is successful, then at least the current land can be retained, if it does not work, it will only attract greater anger from Datang, and then the fate of these people will probably be worse than anyone else. ()
