43 Lu Bu in Cai Yan's eyes
As soon as he settled down, Song Xian personally took a few horses and found the village where Lu Bu and the others were resting.
In the small square of the village, several fires had been lit, and the flames were blazing, reflecting on the faces of the guards sitting around, flickering uncertainly. They stared straight at the scorching pigs on the fire, and as drops of grease dripped into the fire, making a sizzling sound, everyone was salivating, and their Adam's apple kept rolling up and down, and they kept swallowing saliva.
At this time, no one spoke, only the flickering sound of the north wind blowing the flames, the sizzling sound of the grease burning, the crackling sound of the firewood burning, and the sound of everyone swallowing saliva, so that when Song Xian reported the military situation by Lu Bu's side, he could only whisper again and again, almost whispering in Lu Bu's ear.
Lu Bu listened while holding an iron rod on one side, and at the other end was a fat duck, which had been roasted by him until it was golden brown, and it was ready to eat.
"That's it!"
Lu Bu shouted excitedly, withdrew his left hand, and sent the fat duck to the end of his nose to sniff deeply, his face was intoxicated, and he swallowed saliva involuntarily, and said with a smile: "Okay, the craft hasn't been pulled down yet, salt water!" ”
Song Xian, who was on the side, had already shut up with amusement, picked up the coarse porcelain bowl with salt water, looked at Lu Bu holding a handful of unused white linen cloth, dipped in salt water, and evenly smeared it on the golden fat duck, and asked curiously: "This, Du Wei, wouldn't it be much easier to sprinkle the salt grains directly?" ”
Lu Butou replied without looking back: "That is a matter of convenience, but the salt grains are scattered unevenly, and the taste is salty in some places and light in others, so it will not be in vain for my craftsmanship." ”
Just when he put down the white linen, a guard next to him had already brought a coarse porcelain plate, Lu Bu concentrated on holding the knife, turning in circles, cutting the fat duck with the belt meat piece by piece, neatly stacked in the coarse porcelain plate, just a moment of work, a fat duck was cut to only the skeleton.
"Okay, let's take it and make the soup."
Lu Bu ordered casually, and looked at the roast duck slices in the coarse porcelain plate with great pride.
In later generations, he and his girlfriend Xiaochan, did not eat less classic roast duck, one duck to eat more, every time is satisfied, every time the chef is extremely admiring the skill of cutting roast duck, I did not expect, travel to more than 2,000 years ago today, he actually had the opportunity to do it himself, and look at the roast duck slices in the coarse porcelain plate, thickness, size, are quite uniform, the craftsmanship is only higher than the chefs he has seen in his memory.
With this understanding, Lu Bu was even more proud again in his heart, and inserted a knife into the coarse porcelain plate, and put the two roast duck slices on the tip of the knife into his mouth, and chewed it, and immediately felt very comfortable.
Roast duck slices into the mouth oily but not greasy, crispy skin, tender meat, really tender and delicious, really worthy of a complete domestic fat duck, organic, green, healthy.
Lu Bu tasted it by himself, and without his permission, Song Xian and the guards who were sitting beside him didn't dare to stretch out their hands rashly.
"Good!"
Lu Bu shouted hello, picked up the coarse porcelain plate, stood up, and walked straight to the village outside the square, where Cai Yan and the little maid Cai Qian were settled.
Behind him, a group of guards had already begun to move, ignoring the scorching flames, cutting large pieces of meat from the roasted pig and the oil, regardless of the heat, directly grabbed it with their hands, stuffed it into their mouths indiscriminately, and chewed it.
On the small square, there were immediately added one after another gasps, as well as a light sigh of satisfaction, and when Lu Bu returned to the fire with a smile on his face, the atmosphere in the small square was already as warm as a raging flame at this moment.
It's just that there is no meat and no wine, let alone fine wine, since Lu Bu "woke up", so people who love wine and beauty have almost never drunk at all, and the problem of messing around with flowers and grass and even hooking up with subordinates' wives and concubines has also been completely restrained all of a sudden.
His reason is the same, because he was drunk and mishap, his father-in-law Ding Yuan was killed by the assassins, so he vowed not to get drunk again.
But in fact, the real reason is that he is no longer the original "Lu Bu", and he knows the tragic fate of "Lu Bu", and the key first step is to kill his father, which makes him discredited, and he can no longer recruit useful talents; The key factors include lust, especially hooking up with subordinates' wives and concubines, which caused dissatisfaction among subordinates, so at a critical juncture, he was betrayed by Hao Meng and Wei Xu and others.
Now that Lu Bu has vowed to change his fate, he has to make a change in the right way, to clear the charge of killing his father, to quit drinking, and to respect his subordinates, which are the three biggest points.
However, for beauties, such as Cai Yan, such as Diao Chan, such as Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, he is bound to win, otherwise, even if he changes his fate in this life, without the company of these stunning beauties, will the joy of life be reduced by more than half?
Beauty, but the source of happiness in life.
Lu Bu sat down, sighing in his heart, the smile on his face was undisguised, and Song Xian and the guards beside him were stunned.
"Captain, this! Oops, oops! ”
Song Xian diligently cut off a large piece of the front leg of the upper haode, said hello to Lu Bu, estimated that it was too hot, and kept screaming in his mouth, waiting to put the meat piece in the coarse porcelain plate that Lu Bu picked up, and hurriedly put his hands to his mouth, and kept blowing, provoking Lu Bu and the guards hahadaxiao.
"Come on, big guy, hurry up and eat it while it's hot!"
Lu Bu greeted, a large piece of front leg meat, at least two or three catties, and in a few moments, he ate it cleanly, and then Song Xian put a large piece on the plate.
Lu Bu was very useful for Song Xian's hospitality, he looked up and nodded at him with satisfaction, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the edge of the small square, and he didn't know when a group of more than a dozen little children had gathered, although they were not in rags, but they were not much better, and they looked at the people who were eating meat by the fire intently, their faces were full of envy, even if they were separated by more than ten steps, they could still see it clearly.
Lu Bu's heart moved, and he beckoned to them and shouted, "Come, come, come!" ”
The eldest child is less than ten years old, and the youngest one is only two or three years old, but at this time, he coaxed and retreated, and when he saw that Lu Bu was still waving, he squeezed me and pushed you one by one, appearing on the side of the small square.
In the end, the temptation brought by the smell of meat still overpowered the fear in his heart, a little boy of two or three years old took the lead in stepping over, walked two or three steps, looked back, and then slowly walked two steps, and then looked back, even if there was an anxious call from his mother behind him, he still walked in front of Lu Bu.
Lu Bu released his kindness with practical actions, cut off a large piece of meat on his chin, handed it to the little boy, watched him eat it with great pleasure, couldn't help but hahadaxiao, stretched out his big hand, covered his head, and rubbed it a few times.
There is this example, under the call of Lu Bu, the other children rushed over, and Song Xian and several guards got up and shared the meat for them one by one, causing laughter and laughter.
This scene fell into the eyes of Cai Yan and Cai Qian's master and servant, and the two big stones in the hearts of the two fell to the ground, and the mood suddenly became much lighter, and the conversation was much lighter.
Through the open window lattice, Cai Qian stared blankly at the heat in the square, and only turned around for a long time before she smiled at Cai Yanyan and said, "Miss, this General Lu is really really different." ”
Cai Yan's face had already recovered its elegance, glanced out the window, and said softly: "Yes, close the window quickly, the north wind is getting colder and colder......"
Before she finished speaking, her face was covered with sadness, Cai Qian didn't know what was going on, closed the window lattice, and comforted: "Miss, don't worry, the old man went north, and after Hanoi, that is, within the jurisdiction of the state, didn't General Lu say that he sent people to Hanoi, with his care, the old man will not suffer along the way." ”
Cai Yan nodded stunned, his eyes were slightly red, and he sighed softly.
After eating and drinking enough, and having a good night's sleep, Lu Bu led the crowd to protect Cai Yan's carriage and rushed back to the Xiongnu camp in a mighty way.
On the same day, Lu Bu led the army to come suddenly, Yu Fuluo led the elite cavalry to meet the battle, Liu Bao saw that his father was defeated, so he abandoned the camp with his personal guards and fled, so the materials in the camp, as well as the plundered merchant women, all stayed here intact and received them for Hou Cheng to lead the army.
Yesterday's battle, Song Xian has reported the results of the battle to Lu Bu, Yu Fuluo died in battle, Hu Chuquan only fled with a dozen or so personal guards, Liu Bao died in battle, 1,500 Huns elite cavalry, was defeated in one fell swoop, killed more than 500 people, and the rest were all surrendered, including more than 300 people who were lightly and seriously injured. Lu Bu led 2,000 Xiliang Jing cavalry and lost more than 200 people, which can be said to be quite impressive.
Now in front of Lu Bu is how to deal with the Xiongnu prisoners of war and the lightly and seriously injured, as well as how to deal with the merchant women looted by Yu Fuluo, as for the material baggage, there is no need to report to Lu Bu for decision, Song Xian and Hou Chengdu know that this iron will definitely be brought back to Taiyuan with the army.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Lu Bu listened to Hou Cheng's detailed report, and immediately made a decision: "The captives and the lightly and seriously injured are all disposed of according to the usual practice, and the merchant travelers should return their belongings, let them leave on their own, and leave some of the captured materials for Guo Tao, and the army will rest for a day and set off for the north tomorrow." ”
After speaking, Lu Bu looked at Guo Tao on the side, and said with a smile: "The virtuous brother stays in Hedong, just wait for the imperial court messenger to arrive, and then the official worships the post of Hedong Taishou, and there are still a lot of things to do as a brother on a different day. ”
Guo Tao smiled all over his face, and said humbly in a hurry: "Where is it, Brother Lu is kind, the younger brother will take it, what does Lu Bu command, just send someone to inform him, and the younger brother will go to the soup and go to the fire, and he will not hesitate." ”
He said this very generously, but in the eyes of Song Xian and Hou Cheng, no matter how he looked at it, he had a sense of contrivedness, but Lu Bu didn't care, and hahadaxiao agreed.
In fact, he is salivating for the fat of Hedong, and he is very intentional, but now he does not have the strength and foundation to eat, if Guo Taiguo can really operate properly in Luoyang, worship his brother Guo Tao as the Taishou of Hedong, for Lu Bu, this is not bad news.
At this moment, the guards entered the account, handed over a famous thorn with both hands, and whispered: "Captain, someone asks to see." ”
