Chapter 384: I'll Give You Something to Eat Below
"Tuanza, we won a big battle today, let's eat dragon beard noodles." Dutou Huang Dexing came forward with a smile, Huang Dexing is one of the five heads of the Eighteenth Riding Regiment, the front and back, the left and right are all the heads, not very old at the age of twenty-five, the youngest of the five heads of the Eighteenth Regiment, but the weight is the heaviest, like a Maitreya Buddha, not only has a pig's head and fat face, but also has a big belly, weighing more than 200 pounds, not only the fattest of the five heads, it can even be said that there is no fatter than him in the Eighteenth Regiment.
Originally, a fat man like him was not suitable for the cavalry team, after all, the weight on the mount was too great. However, Huang Dexing is fat, but he is an old cavalryman, he has more than ten years of experience as a knight, and he is an old man on Mrs. Gao's side, and his riding and archery skills are also very good, so he was able to continue to stay in the cavalry, and even after the four new cavalry regiments were formed this time, he was also promoted to the former capital of the eighteenth cavalry regiment.
Guo Xiaoke looked at Huang Dexing's body that was getting fatter and fatter, shook his head and said, "You foodie, if you continue to eat like this, you won't want to find a war horse that can carry you." ”
Huang Dexing patted his big belly disapprenosingly, "It's only more than two hundred catties, and the king of the upper pillar of the court, Shiji, has a waist circumference of ten feet." ”
"Wang Shiji is dead, how do you compare with him?" Guo Xiaoke said with a smile.
"What? Wang Shiji is dead, Tuanzuo, you are joking with me, he is in the Pillar Kingdom, and didn't he still command the Eastern Crusade last year? Huang Dexing said in surprise, he didn't know where he had heard about Wang Shiji, a big fat man, so he had always admired Wang Shiji, who was also a fat man, and he was also a fat man. Fatter than him, a big fat man with a waist circumference of ten feet. But people are still military generals, and they are also generals in the DPRK. Shangzhu country, marshal, how majestic.
A few officers next to him who were writing and marking on a small notepad with pencil heads and making post-war records also came over together when they heard this, and asked in surprise: "Wang Shiji is dead?" It's nothing.,Is there any inside information about the group.,Come and hear it.。 ”
Guo Xiaoke swept at the officers under him with some pride, and then said unhurriedly: "Well, it's not any new news." It's just about the New Year, the governor of Liangzhou and the king of Shangzhu, Shiji, is plotting against him. Deliberate rebellion, the incident was executed by the emperor, and then the two generals in Beijing were implicated in the case, it is said that the left and right guard generals Shangzhu Guoyuanxuan and Shangzhu Guoyuanmin were also involved in rebellion, and they were executed together for their crimes. In short, the Kyoshi earthquake. ”
Hearing that the three Shangzhu States were executed for rebellion, those officers couldn't help but get excited. Although they had only heard of the names of the three generals, some of them had not even heard of the names of the two Yuan surnames Shangzhuguo. However, when he heard that the emperor had beheaded the three Shangzhu countries at once, he was still excited, and he had an indescribable feeling of excitement.
"Oh, that handsome won't be implicated in Beijing, right?" Someone asked.
Huang Dexing immediately glanced at the guy with dissatisfaction. "What nonsense, how can something happen to the big handsome, haven't you heard. As soon as the marshal entered the capital, he was deeply liked by the emperor and was officially canonized as King Zhao. ”
"You're out of date, okay. I've heard that the emperor has officially appointed the marshal as the governor of Youzhou. ”
"Yes, that old guy Yan Rong has been beheaded by the emperor outside the Jingshi Noon Gate. I heard that there are many small governors and state assassins in Youzhou Mansion who have also been implicated and imprisoned. ”
Another asked: "Yan Rong seems to be a Shangzhu country, right?" ”
"Well, that's right, he is also a Shangzhu country, and he seems to be some kind of county prince, and he is the head of the middle government."
The movement of the leopard, who had been rubbing the cavalry knife with a whetstone beside him, couldn't help but stop, his eyes were full of surprise, Shangzhu Kingdom, that is high up, as if it were in the clouds, and now he was actually executed by the emperor of the Central Plains at once. He couldn't figure out what the emperor of the Central Plains was thinking, and he couldn't figure out this qiē. He smacked his lips and shook his head, then picked up the whetstone and continued to sharpen the cavalry knife in his hand. Those are too far away from him, although he is now a member of the Sui army, but he has always felt that he is not a Sui person, he is just working for Yi Shuai, in exchange for the money given by Yi Shuai, too much he has not thought about.
Yi Feng went to Jingshi, and Huaihuang has always kept in touch with him, and Yi Feng is always paying attention to the dynamics of Jingshi, and he can already know the major events that happened in Jingshi after a delay of two days at most. However, a regimental-level officer like Guo Xiaoke doesn't know too clearly, Huaihuang now has more than 100 regiments of soldiers alone, not to mention more than 100 regiments of garrison. As for the officers below the regimental level, they don't know much about it, at most they have heard some gossip from their bosses or the township party, and as for the soldiers below, they are completely surrounded by clouds and mountains. Yi Feng has become the grandson of the emperor, the governor of Youzhou, the marshal of the Eastern Road of the Northern Expedition, etc., these situations are only known to the senior civil and military officers left behind in Huaihuang, and the second-level battalion-level officers are much behind, as for the regiment level, they even only know that Yi Shuai has become the governor of Youzhou, King Zhao.
Guo Xiaoke knows more, this is still his close relationship with the Tiger King Fubao of Xiashan, and because he is from Xuzhou, Henan, he is also very close to Shan Xiongxin and Xu Gai, who are the bigwigs of the Henan system. Guo Xiaoke was shocked when he knew that these were gone, and then after calming down, he couldn't help but be excited. The big handsome is the emperor's grandson, although he can't understand why the emperor has to set up an imperial grandson after he has a crown prince, but he also knows that the imperial grandson is the prince of the country. In other words, the Yi Dashuai he followed would be the future emperor. The future emperor's hidden mansion is inexplicably exciting to think about.
Guo Xiaoke is a native of Xuzhou, Henan, his family is not a wealthy family, but he is also a small landlord in Xuzhou, and his family has hundreds of acres of land. When he was a child, his family sent him to a private school to study, but Guo Xiaoke was smart and lively. But he's not a person who is willing to study.,In the private school, it's basically a guy who hates dogs.。 When he finally got through to his teens, he finally stopped reading the books that had the headache. Bigger. He spent all day loitering, got acquainted with a group of fox friends and dogs, caused trouble everywhere, and became a group of sub-rangers.
Fooling around all day long, there will be a time when something happens, but sure enough, it's a year old. He and a group of friends got drunk and got into a quarrel with a group of people on the street, and then got into a fight, and finally beat up the group of people on the opposite side and walked away happily. Who knew that this time they caused trouble, and the group of people who were beaten by them were actually the son of the new Xuzhou Assassin, which is really a big disaster. Guo's father was also frightened when he heard the news, and his face turned white with fright, and he asked someone to help him intercede for the last time, gave gifts to the assassin Shi to accompany the crime, and gave Guo Xiaoke some money on the other hand. Let him fly away and leave Xuzhou. After Guo Xiaoke left Xuzhou overnight, he went to his uncle's house, and then was introduced by his uncle to a merchant to help, and finally came to Huaihuang with the merchant. The merchant had a shop in Huaishang. Specializing in collecting fur and mountain goods from the Waihu people, Guo Xiaoke has only been working in the shop for less than a month, and he can't do it anymore. He fell in love with Huai Huang. Love the hustle and bustle and the freedom. also liked the opportunity here, and soon he left the shop to recruit soldiers and joined the army.
Looking back now. It was really a good thing to beat the son of the assassin at the beginning, otherwise how could he come to Huaifa, where could he go to the army, and then he would have to be appreciated, and in a short time, he is now a regimental seat, in charge of five hundred cavalry brothers.
He told the officers around him about the latest news he knew a little proudly, and then said in a flat tone: "Follow the commander well, and in the future, you will also have the opportunity to become a Shangzhu country, become a county prince, or even be the head of a party." ”
After speaking, Guo Xiaoke lowered his head and roasted the fire, leaving a group of officers stunned.
"Really? The marshal became the emperor's grandson, the governor of Youzhou, and the marshal of the East Road? ”
"It's not true, is it still cooked, I'm just kidding and amusing you guys?" Guo Xiaoke snorted.
Huang Degong was very excited, and stroked his big belly with his hand, "This is great news, Tuanzao, we should celebrate, let's stop eating dragon beard noodles, let's eat fried noodles." ”
Guo Xiaoke said: "What kind of dragon beard noodles to eat, what fried noodles to eat, don't forget jì We are now deep in the grassland, far away from Huaihuang, right under the noses of the Hu people." Dragon beard noodles and fried noodles are both precious military rations that cannot be wasted. Aren't there a lot of dead horses here, let's eat stewed horse meat today. Remember to cut more, let's eat to our heart's content, and cut the rest into large pieces and bury them in snow and keep them here for later use. "The 18th Regiment came out this time for a reconnaissance mission, so it came out alone, and there was no logistics regiment to transport and supply grain and grass to them, and the grain and grass could only be carried with the army, and each person brought two war horses, one to ride, and one to carry grain and grass. For every little bit of this grass they eat, they had to take it on the spot and try not to use what they had brought with them. Now that there are so many dead horses, it is natural that they have to eat horse meat.
When Huang Dexing heard that he wanted to eat horse meat, his face immediately collapsed. Horse meat is not delicious, sour, especially the cavalry of the 18th Regiment has not known how many times they have come out, each time they eat the most horse meat that takes grain on the spot, most of them are Hu people mounts who were killed after fighting with the Hu people. Although horse meat is also meat, there is a lot to eat, and there is no seasoning in the wild, and the craftsmanship of the men is also very bad, so nine out of ten are talking about the color change of horse meat.
"Today is a good day, we have won a big victory, all 100 Hu Qi have been wiped out, none of the brothers have been lost, and the handsome man has become the emperor's grandson again, so we have to celebrate."
"Celebration is to eat dragon beard noodles and fried noodles? Can't the celebration be held when you return to the wilderness? You say that you are just greedy. Don't talk nonsense, go and cut the horse's meat. Eat early and take the opportunity to rest for a while, there is still a big battle tonight. Guo Xiaoke himself does not like to eat horse meat, but he knows the importance of military rations. The fat man said that the dragon beard noodles and fried noodles are two kinds of processed grains newly made by the Huaihuang Flour Mill, the wheat is ground into flour with a windmill, and then the flour is processed and pressed into long noodles one by one with a dough sheeter, and after drying, it becomes a dried noodles, but everyone prefers to call this convenient and delicious dried noodles as dragon beard noodles. This kind of noodles are delicious to eat and easy to make, directly boil the water and throw it in to cook for a short time to cook, convenient, delicious, deeply loved by the people and soldiers, and now the army will also set the noodles as the supply of military food. As for fried noodles, it is a more convenient new food, it is said that the dried noodles are fried in boiling oil, this kind of fried noodles are more convenient to eat, only with a little boiling water to soak it to cook, and even do not cannon directly dry eating, even do not need to add seasoning, it can smell fragrant for ten miles. However, dried noodles and fried noodles have a lot more processes than ordinary flour, so the quantity supplied to the army is not much, and in the field, Guo Xiaoke kept in mind the cavalry manual, and he would never use the military rations he carried lightly until he couldn't find food, and even if the fat man said the flowers, he would not agree.
The fat man reluctantly took the knife to cut the horse meat, and about forty or more war horses were either killed or seriously injured, and they were directly slaughtered and cut into pieces by the fat man. Then someone began to make a fire to boil water and stew horse meat, and soon the stewed horse meat in clear water was done, Guo Xiaoke's personal guard gave him a big iron basin over, and there was also a bowl of kelp soup, Guo Xiaoke was already hungry, and then gobbled it up and picked up a large piece of horse meat and bit it. Speaking of which, in fact, it's still good to have such a meal when you're out fighting, you can eat as much as you want with a large piece of horse meat, and this kelp soup tastes very good. Such a meal that the cavalry disliked could be placed in Guo Xiaoke's hometown of Xuzhou, although it was called the plain area in the heart of the sky, but even if his family was a landlord, he couldn't enjoy such a life, it would be good to eat two or three meals of meat a month, and it was impossible to be full. These guys are really a little arrogant, he doesn't believe it, these guys used to be like this, they didn't even hate meat.
Huang Dexing was holding a piece of horse meat, his face was full of crying and mourning, and he didn't want to eat it.
He rubbed in front of Guo Xiaoke and asked, "Tuanzuo, has the handsome really become the emperor's grandson?" ”
"Hmm." Guo Xiaoke didn't bother to take care of him, so he snorted and continued to eat horse meat.
"Tuanza, then you say, since the handsome has become the emperor's grandson, will our princess become the emperor's concubine, and in the future, the handsome will become the emperor, and our princess will be the queen?" Huang Dexing asked.
Guo Xiaoke stopped his chopsticks, opened his mouth, and finally closed them again. He didn't know what to say to Huang Dexing. Only a few people know that after Dashuai was named Queen Zhao, the emperor had already given a marriage to Dashuai and chose a princess Zhao for King Zhao, it is said that Princess Zhao is Dashuai's cousin, the daughter of the emperor's second daughter, and the granddaughter marries her grandson, and her cousins marry, which is a kiss and a kiss. However, as a result, Mrs. Gao immediately ceased to be the wife of the handsome main family, and the eldest son she gave birth to became a concubine like the second son born to Mrs. Murong. Guo Xiaoke still doesn't know if the emperor has canonized Yi Shuai as the grandson, whether he has already canonized the princess of the county as the princess, but according to the convention, it will definitely not be wrong.
I heard that Mrs. Gao actually knew about Yi Shuai marrying another wife in Jingshi, and I don't know what that person thinks now. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, these bullshit things, they will definitely not pass so lightly in the future. Even if Mrs. Gao didn't say anything, just like this Huang Dexing in front of her, these people from the original Gao family, could they accept that the princess of their family was demoted to a side room in the blink of an eye?
There must still be trouble in this matter, and if it is not done well, there will be chaos. However, this kind of thing is not something he can interfere with, although he has not followed Yi Shuai for a long time, he believes that Yi Feng is not the kind of person who abandons chaos and abandons the new, likes the new and hates the old, and he must have his own unavoidable hardships when he does this.
