Chapter 528: Opportunity!
The boat is finally home! Desperately work hard to code words!
Kneel and beg for everything!
~~~~~~~
The sunset gradually sank below the horizon, and the night was quietly falling, just like the pink beauty who had been waiting for a long time on a date, gently, curly, with a slight fragrance, quietly came to you in the most casual way.
At this time, after a fierce battle all night and day, whether it was the Caishi Army or the Wandering Army, they were already physically and mentally exhausted!
The roaring drums gradually stopped, the low horns drifted away with the wind, and the soldiers on both sides parted like a tide and began to bury the pot to cook, ready to accumulate energy for the next round of impact!
Almost at the same time, a large field of fire rose on both positions, and the curling smoke drifted away with the cold wind into the distance, and by the bright moonlight, the most familiar smell of fireworks seemed to drift all the way to the shy crescent moon.
It's just that although the meal is held at the same time, the treatment of the Caishi Army and the Wandering Army is completely different, it is simply heaven and earth!
The food on the side of Caishi Army is a large amount of bacon, a little salted fish soup, supplemented by a variety of dried vegetables, green vegetables, and white flour steamed buns as the staple food!
Especially the broth, due to Liu Ruyi's personal preference, it is the specialty of the Caishi soldiers!
The bacon of the Caishi Army is mainly based on pork, mutton, chicken and duck meat raised all over Shandong, as well as the captured wounded war horse meat, which is cut into pieces, strips, cooked and dried on weekdays, like at this time, when it comes to the battlefield, it is directly mixed into the pot and boiled over high heat, plus a small amount of salted fish to enhance the freshness!
The reason why the word 'Xian' is divided into 'fish' and 'sheep' is because there are almost no more delicious things in this world!
At this time, after the careful cooking of the Caishi soldiers, this delicious broth, with the raging north wind, the fragrance is about to drift ten miles away!
But the Exile Army's side ......
Dozens of people gathered around a large cauldron, staring at the corn paste 'porridge' that was tumbling violently in the pot!
Saying that this is 'porridge', I'm afraid it's a little reluctant, Gain, in the huge iron pot, you can only see a dozen grains of corn that have not peeled and tumbled back and forth with the boiling water!
Not to mention the aroma of meat, you can't even see a greasy flower!
As a result, many of the wandering army stretched their necks, taking advantage of the wind direction, greedily inhaling the bursts of meat fragrance from the position of the colored stone army opposite!
At this time, the battle had just ended, and the positions of the two sides were not too far apart, about only one and a half miles!
At this time, God happened to be blowing the south wind, and the position of the Liumin Army was just at the downwind of the Caishi Army's position!
This rich meat aroma can't be stopped!
"it! Those officers and soldiers, what are they cooking? How can it be so fragrant? A scrawny army of exiles stood on tiptoe hard, desperately twitching their big noses that were blown by the cold wind, and scolded in their southern Shaanxi hometown.
"Huh? It seems to be beef! No, maybe there is pork ......," said another homeless soldier while sniffing.
"Huh...... Han Ba, you turtle grandson~~! Have you ever eaten beef in your life? Dare to brag to Lao Tzu here! That's clearly mutton! Lamb soup! Do you know the mutton soup? A 'veteran' with a face full of furrows, gray hair and beard, looked at the young man named Han Ba beside him with disdain.
"What? Second master! You, you...... I haven't eaten it, can't you? Don't brag to me! You don't even have a mouse at home, and you still tell me what kind of mutton soup? The young Han Ba seemed to feel that he had lost face in front of so many brothers, and he couldn't help but stiffen his neck, the thin green tendons on his forehead bulged, and he retorted loudly to the old man beside him.
The old man glanced at Han Ba with disdain, and sneered, "I told you about this rabbit cub a long time ago!" It's okay, you have to learn more, and your head is a little smarter! In the future, I will strive to be able to follow King Chuang and become an officer! Don't think about embarrassing us like this now! The salt I've eaten is more than the food this turtle grandson has ever eaten! ”
At this time, the homeless soldiers around them were attracted by the words of the two of them, and they all looked sideways!
Although Han Ba was often taught a lesson by the old man, but at this time, so many brothers were there, Han Ba couldn't wipe his face, and continued to be stunned: "Second master! You said you've had mutton soup! Then tell us when you ate it! What the hell does that thing smell like? ”
The old man looked at the corn paste that was desperately boiling on the side, and then looked at the flaming Caishi Army position in the distance, sighed long, looked up at the stars in the sky, and said as if reminiscing: "That~~, it seems that it should be twenty years ago, no......
Thirty years ago!
When it was still Wanli Ye, I carried a cloth bag for Xin'an's Zhangjia Rice Row!
Once, we followed the owner to Jinan Mansion in Shandong Province to pull grain!
At that time, I was young and strong, much stronger than you rabbit cubs who didn't know how to do it!
In one day's work, the four of us carried more than 6,000 catties of grain, which is much more than that cow and horse!
The owner saw that we really worked hard, and also sent kindness, and invited us to come to the east gate of Jinan City to eat mutton soup!
That mutton soup......"
The old man seemed to be completely immersed in deep memories, and said again in intoxication: "That soup! Whole white, all white! There's a layer of mutton fat floating on it! Sprinkle with some chopped green onions, and the flavor is ...... Hiss ......"
The old man squinted his tongue vigorously, and a bright look suddenly flashed in his somewhat cloudy and yellow eyes, "That smell...... I'll never forget it! ”
"Cut ......" The young Han Ba shook his head disdainfully, and muttered in a low voice: "Having said so much, it's not the same as saying it in vain!" ”
But he raised his head and looked hard in the direction of the Caishi Army camp in the southeast, "This mutton soup? What should it be? ’
~~~~~~~
This world is very beautiful, but this world is also very realistic!
This world is wonderful, but this world is also cruel, even, it should be said to be cruel!
Although under the same blue sky, looking at the same sun, the so-called 'Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road!' ’
The energy lever is here!
It is destined that this world will be divided by all kinds of 'extreme' aspects!
If you want to get it, you must first pay!
Paying may not be rewarded, but if you don't pay, you will definitely not gain!
Complaining will not solve the slightest problem, but will only exacerbate the tragic status quo!
If you want to change, the only thing you can rely on is your own hands and brain!
~~~~~~~~
Liu Ruyi didn't know what was happening in an instant with the Liumin Army on the other side, at this time, in the position of the Caishi Army, in the temporary bunker, his eyes were staring at the tall young man in front of him!
"You're already familiar with the situation, aren't you? Tell us what you think! After staring at him for a long time, Liu Ruyi casually pointed to the simple sand table in front of him, and said slowly.
This young man is extremely tall, half a head taller than Liu Ruyi, I am afraid that he will have 190+, his shoulders are broad and strong, his arms are thick and powerful, although it is a cold winter, but he only wears a thin tight-fitting cotton shirt, and his whole figure is in the shape of a perfect 'inverted triangle', full of muscle and explosiveness!
Although his face is angular and full of strength, the slightly childish tender face shows that he is only in his early twenties.
It's just that at this time, the tense muscles of his whole body, the slightly lowered head, and the unnaturally curled fingers betrayed his nervous mood at the moment!
So much so that after Liu Ruyi finished speaking for a long time, he woke up from the 'chaos' and said solemnly: "General, general, after today's personal investigation by daytime, at this time, the grain and grass position of the Wandering People's Army should be here!" ”
After pointing to a slightly bulging hill more than ten miles southwest of Luoyang City, he explained: "General, although there are plains outside this Luoyang City, there are too many cultivated land, and the terrain is not even!" There are only two ways to get here! ”
He drew two paths on the sand table with his fingers, and explained: "General, this road to the south, although it seems to be far away from the camp of the Wandering Army, is actually here! ”
He drew a small circle on the flat area in front of the mountain bag, "This is the defender camp of the Wandering People's Army, I am afraid that there are more than 10,000 people, they are very vigilant, although they do not dare to investigate at close range, but according to the horseshoe prints, the humble position speculates that there will be at least 2,000 cavalry inside!" The rest of the people are not to worry! If we want to succeed tonight, they will be our biggest obstacle! ”
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Liu Ruyi nervously, and he didn't dare to come out!
Liu Ruyi suddenly smiled and patted him lightly on the shoulder, "Hehe! Zhang Xuan! Don't be nervous! What do you think? Are you still used to living in the scout camp these days? ”
Seeing Liu Ruyi's soft smile and soft tone, this young man named Zhang Xuan couldn't help but relax slightly, and said with a shy smile: "Thank you for the general's care!" Humble duty, humble duty is very good! I learned a lot from those old scout brothers! ”
"Huh! Very good! Very good! Young people? You should watch more and learn more! From the battlefield, gain experience! Accumulate military merits! Make meritorious contributions, in this way, can you give your old Zhang family a glorious lintel! Hehe! Liu Ruyi smiled and nudged his chest.
Zhang Xuan smiled shyly, but his spirit was more relaxed.
He is Zhang Laocai's distant nephew, since he was a child, he has been in the Zhang family's nursing home and has learned a skill!
Due to Shandong's 'martial arts', this time, the Caishi Army expanded on a large scale, and Zhang Laocai took some effort to let him join the Caishi Army!
At this moment, anyone with a discerning eye can already see that 'Qi Guogong' is in charge of Shandong, which is already a foregone conclusion, and others ...... Even if it is the imperial court, it is impossible to insert a needle into the territory of Shandong!
Zhang Laocai has long been inseparable from Liu Ruyi economically, but politically, he is very weak!
And Zhang Xuan, a son of the family, has undoubtedly become his trump card at this time!
But the reason why Zhang Xuan only recently joined the Caishi Army, on the one hand, is because Zhang Laocai wants to leave a way back for himself, after all, he is also a big family, it is impossible to put all his eggs in one basket, on the other hand, Zhang Laocai has made a bloody investment, in the past two years, he has invited no less than ten masters in martial arts, and in terms of strategy, he has also invited many famous teachers to carefully guide Zhang Xuan!
This piece of jade has been slowly carved out of some scale!
This also made Zhang Xuan from the outermost child of the old Zhang family, the general treatment of domestic servants, to several times higher than the preferential treatment of his son-in-law!
But after he joined the Caishi Army, he was not treated favorably by Liu Ruyi, but was sent to the most dangerous and difficult scout camp!
But Zhang Laocai once personally explained to Zhang Xuan that Qi Guogong has a sharp eye, and he will never tolerate a grain of sand, and if he wants to get ahead, he must show his true skills, and the suffering in front of him will be his capital in the future!
Zhang Xuan is not stupid, but very smart!
He clearly knew what the 'uncle' had spent so much money and energy for!
He came from a humble background, and what he loves to listen to and learn the most on weekdays is the deeds of 'Qi Guogong'!
At this time, being able to stand in front of Liu Ruyi, Zhang Xuan knew that this was an opportunity given to him by the general, and it was also an opportunity for him to prove himself and repay the old Zhang family, and he must not miss it!
At this time, the voice that I had been waiting for for countless days and nights finally sounded!
"If I give you a thousand, how will you destroy the lifeblood of this outcast army tonight?"
