Chapter Seventy-Five: The Weishui Alliance
Seeing Fan Jingjing, a woman who was three times the size of Fan Jingjing, immediately felt very secure.
was robbed by someone, and it is impossible not to be wary of strange men.
"The little lady is so beautiful, the lover should be a little general, or a powerful young man, this expedition will definitely be able to make meritorious contributions, and he will still be able to be a general when he comes back."
The place where she lives is not too far from Weishui Bridge, only thirty miles away, but the woman's life circle has not been so far away, only to see the emperor driving in person, accompanied by heavyweight generals, when she set off, she was very proud of the good men of the Tang Dynasty.
Her son, who was also one of those who were drafted into the army.
Looking at the little lady in front of her, she shook her head and thought to herself, her waist is too thin, her butt is not big enough, not round enough, and it is not good to give birth. Her son can't bring such a lady home.
"Alas, I was going to take some things to the city to exchange for some good wine and meat. Now they're all falling.
Little lady! If you want to take the lover, why don't you prepare either hand, at least bring some wine and food to reward the sergeant. ”
"Huh?" Fan Jingjing thought to herself, it seems that she should have more respect for the returning soldiers.
After all, they are brave soldiers who defend their homeland and country.
"Auntie, are the nearby mountains and forests yours?"
"There are still a few families in front, and our field is in front. The mountains and forests are ownerless, you can go into the mountains to cut firewood if you want to, and you can go down to the river to catch fish if you want to catch them, but most of the fish in the river have many spines and are not very delicious. The fishy smell is also strong, and it doesn't taste yet. ”
Fan Jingjing's eyes widened, don't you know the deliciousness of freshwater fish? What's more, there is a lot of fishy smell, so it would be nice to add more ingredients.
Suddenly, Fan Jingjing thought that the commoners of the Tang Dynasty really don't have many ways to cook, salt is not easy to obtain, and the price of spices is more than a thousand gold.
"Niangniang, the army can already see it, and there is no time to prepare, do you have any fish at home, I want to grill a fish to reward the soldiers."
Fan Jingjing found that the fish in the river are not small, and they should be able to prepare a sufficient amount of fish dishes.
"Yes, yes...... But ......"
"If you give me a few fish, can I give you one of the fire-raising tools?"
After speaking, Fan Jingjing finally remembered what she was carrying.
She loves matchsticks, so she has matches on her! It is also for the convenience of fire everywhere. Otherwise, she would have had enough of Datang's way of raising fire, she couldn't learn anything, and she couldn't light the fire immediately.
She may have been born with a kitchen problem.
Fan Jingjing took out a matchstick, wiped it, lit the fire, and burned the dead grass on the ground by the way.
"How can you light a fire?"
"Grilled fish! Bring the fish! ”
At this time, the woman remembered the matchbox in Fan Jingjing's hand, her eyes were shining, and she got up to get the fish in the pot at home.
"Can you help me go to Yulin?"
Fan Jingjing has no confidence in cooking skills at all.
The woman disemboweled, and took out all the flesh and dirt.
Fan Jingjing noticed that the woman was holding a stone tool instead of an iron blade.
Although iron tools have become popular, it seems that they have not yet spread to the common people's homes. Or, only important tools of production, made of iron.
After the woman dealt with it, Fan Jingjing casually smeared salt and various spices on the fish. Then wrap it in leaves and put the fish into the already burning fire.
The woman kept an eye on the fire to prevent it from spreading, for an uncontrolled fire would bring irreparable disaster.
Within a quarter of an hour, Fan Jingjing fetched water from the river to extinguish the fire.
"Let's go! We're going to reward the sergeant, who should be coming soon. ”
"Oh! I can't be the only one who will call for me, because it won't be lively enough. ”
Emperor Zhenguan did not win the battle, but only went to talk about peace, so naturally he would not publicize it to the people.
What's more, this time they can be regarded as blocking the Turks from continuing to destroy Chang'an, and avoiding the loss of the wealth of the people of Chang'an, only the gold, silver, jewelry, and various finances of the court and the emperor were lost.
Jieli Khan has no ability from his father, only greed.
Emperor Zhenguan took the generals and neat army to confront Jieli Khan, so he was suspicious, so that Jieli doubted his own strength, and used enough finance to induce, and finally successfully negotiated to let Jieli Khan retreat.
For Jieli Khan, this time he went south, and the harvest was rich, which was enough for the tribe he led to distribute, so he retreated.
Li Shimin looked at the departing rolling yellow sand, held his palm, and did not speak.
Li Shimin's die-hard courtiers all bowed their heads at this time, and some generals asked for war:
"Jieli Khan, insult me, be a fight."
"It's not time yet, be patient, I will definitely lead the horse north soon."
Previously, Li Tang had been calling the Turks a tribute, and before Li Yuan reigned, he claimed to be a vassal and endured humiliation, in order not to suffer from the enemy on both sides, and he was a captive people, but he never returned.
Jieli Khan, personally led an army of 150,000 to invade Bingzhou (the whole territory of Shanxi and part of Inner Mongolia in Hebei) to plunder more than 5,000 men and women, and led more than 100,000 cavalry to plunder Shuozhou, Taiyuan, to the time when Li Shimin ascended the throne, that is, now, led 200,000 troops to the north of the Weishui Bridge outside Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, only 40 miles away from Chang'an City.
"The Weishui Alliance is a shame for my Datang. I hope that ten years, ten years, will allow us to defeat the Turks and capture the Jieli Khan to dance for me. ”
Li Shimin rode on a horse and said to the generals in a hateful voice.
The generals dismounted and knelt on the ground.
"How is General Niu's battle with the Qiang?"
"There is a lack of food and clothing, and there is a shortage of salt, but General Niu persevered, and he and General Wei Chi pacified the Qiang people's rebellion."
"What a good general I am!"
"I'm not here to see my lover, don't say that when I reward the sergeant!"
Fan Jingjing noticed that the woman didn't know her at all, which showed that Maserati's masking effect was very good.
The woman's ability to recover is very strong, and for her, after seeing the monster, she can still carry out all kinds of labor and work at home as if nothing happened, which shows that her psychological ability is very strong.
She was tempted to ask if the other party had gotten her finances back, but she had no reason to know about it.
Beside the woman, Fan Jingjing couldn't take out the binoculars, so she could only use her eyes to send the returning sergeant.
The originally empty road turned out one after another Many people, like women, lost all their possessions, just to reward these soldiers.
Soon, the roadside was filled with feasts that were extremely rich for the people.
However, of all the dishes, the grilled fish with its strong aroma is undoubtedly the most obvious.
Fan Jingjing thought to herself, I don't know how these soldiers take food, or they still want to worship the sky, after worshipping, they will collect all the sacrifices and go home to make a tooth sacrifice.
