Chapter 44: The Right Medicine

Zhao Haipeng said that it was up to me to subdue the "oil wolf", but it didn't surprise me. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After all, we are the only ones who "have a knife in our hands", and Zhu Shi is the only ghost girl among my buddies who can "eat" the evil spirit, so this result does not surprise me.

But here's the problem...... After all, the "oil wolf" is a monster created by evil magic, and my bamboo poems are still afraid of it...... Screaming in fear.

It's going to be a tough one.

So my first instinct was...... Can we not fill this "big head", isn't it good to protect yourself?

With this thought, I was ready to slip away at any time, but when I thought about it, I felt that this was shameless and disrespectful.

So I think it's better to listen to Zhao Haipeng first finish talking about his brother's tricks, and let go in the search for an opportunity, which is also decent.

Therefore, I pretended to be calm and said, "Lao Zhao, what do you mean by your brother first?"

Zhao Haipeng nodded, and then spoke: "Since the oil wolf loves to eat, then we have to start from eating, since the material for worshiping the 'oil wolf' is sheep, then let's use the production method of the 'summer sheep' dish in the 'Tang cuisine' to deal with it." ”

"Wait......" I wondered, "What kind of sheep is Xia Yang?"

"Xia Yang is not a sheep," Zhao Haipeng shook his hand and said: "It is a military dish that existed in the Tang Dynasty, and there is an allusion to this dish, you will know what it means when you listen to it." ”

Speaking of which, Zhao Haipeng may have eased the solemn atmosphere between us, so he first put aside the specific methods for curing ghost diseases, and told us the allusions in this "Summer Sheep" from the beginning.

He said that the person who invented this dish should be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but the specific person is varied, some people say it is Tang Taizong Li Shimin, some people say it is Tang Zhongzong Li Xian.

However, in Zhao Haipeng's memory version, the inventor of this dish was Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and the invention time was when he had not yet become emperor and fought with Dou Jiande against the Tiger Prison.

...... In the fourth year of Tang Wude, Dou Jiande, the king of Xia, in order to rescue Wang Shichong, who was in danger, led the horse infantry south and invaded Tang to aid Zheng.

At that time, Dou Jiande's ally Wang Shichong was fighting to the death with the Tang Dynasty, and Dou Jiande's sudden addition would undoubtedly cause the balance to tilt, and the emerging Tang Dynasty would inevitably suffer from the enemy at that time.

In the face of the crisis, Li Shimin, who was the king of Qin at the time, overrode public opinion and ordered the army to continue to besiege Wang Shichong, who had become the end of the crossbow, and he himself took 3,000 "Xuanjia Army" to fight to the death with Dou Jiande at Tiger Prison Pass.

However, when the Tang army rushed to the front of the Tiger Prison Pass, all the generals were stunned by the scene in front of them.

Because what they saw was Dou Jiande's army all over the mountains, with no end in sight, and under the banner waving, there was almost no place to stand outside the Tiger Prison Pass.

In the face of the army full of mountains, the fool also understood that this Dou Jiande was pouring the strength of the whole country to attack the tiger prison, even though the 3,000 Xuanjia army under Li Shimin was known as the elite of a hundred battles, but in the face of no less than 300,000 Xia troops, the Xia army who came from the nest should really want to play the drum.

As a result, the signal of the wavering morale of the army was spread in the army of Li Shimin, the king of Qin.

And Li Shimin naturally knows that the unstable morale of the army is often a harbinger of defeat.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Li Shimin played some tricks.

As soon as Li Shimin, the king of Qin, arrived at the Tiger Prison Pass, he went to the city to look out for nothing, he looked at the banners of the Xia army all over the field, not only was he not surprised, but he also smiled and pointed at the enemy with a whip, and said to the soldiers: "What is this?"

King Qin's casual words, the generals were naturally puzzled, so they said in unison: "Xia Bing!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, laughed, then turned around and said to the generals: "No, this is Dou Jiande's flock!"

As he spoke, King Qin pointed to the tiger prison under his feet and said, "When the sheep enters the tiger's mouth, is there any reason not to eat it?"

Li Shimin's simple three sentences made all the soldiers laugh, and also swept away the gloom that had shrouded the army before, and even boosted the morale of the army!

At this time, Li Shimin decided to "pursue the victory" and completely aroused the fighting spirit of the soldiers, so he whipped again and promised the soldiers that at the morning banquet tomorrow, each person will be rewarded with a "summer sheep", and when they are full of food and drink, they will go into battle with the king of Qin to "catch the sheep"!

King Chrysostom of Qin said that at that time, the voice was thunderous, and the morale of the soldiers was high.

It stands to reason that at this point, the story should be complete, and the result should be that the brothers of the Xuanjia Army are full of food and drink, and go to the battlefield the next day to sweep away the enemy.

However, the bloody reality and the poor logistics system of the Tang Army shattered Li Shimin's dream.

In ancient times, it was often difficult to guarantee what to eat, and non-staple foods such as meat and grain were even more unattainable.

Therefore, the military cooks who were in charge of logistics for Li Shimin were soon embarrassed to find that there were no sheep in this tiger prison pass, and they went out of the customs to find them in the countryside, but they only found 100 thin and dry lambs, which could not meet the food of more than 3,000 people in the Xuanjia Army.

And after the military chef returned to Li Shimin, he said unceremoniously that his face was green.

King Chrysostom of Qin said that what he said must be done, otherwise the king will break his promise, which will cause an extremely bad image, not only will the morale that he just found disappear completely, but it may also lead to a mutiny in the army, and then lose everything.

As a result, "finding sheep" became Li Shimin's most important task that night, comparable to the task of life and death.

I have to say that many times, the ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny, even if Li Shimin is talented, but he can't turn out of sheep empty-handed.

It was a military chef who came up with the idea for him.

The only thing he knows is that he secretly found Li Shimin, who burned his buttocks, and said that he had a way to make the soldiers get sheep and be satisfied.

Subsequently, the military cook told the King of Qin all the plans in his heart, and promised to act according to this plan, and give him a hundred groups of leading soldiers, and before the morning cooking tomorrow morning, he would definitely be able to "transform" thousands of "summer sheep".

After listening to the whispers of the Huotou army, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, was overjoyed at that time, so he said "good!", and then he intervened and asked him to prepare for Xia Yang.

Early the next morning, as soon as Chen Zhong rang, the three thousand athletes of the Xuanjia Army lined up early in the battlefield to support wine, waiting for the king of Qin to reward the sheep and set off on the expedition.

The auspicious time had arrived, the gongs and drums sounded, and the king of Qin really ordered the Huotou army to carry the fragrant roast sheep and walked up.

At first, the soldiers were eager to try the fragrant smell of roast sheep, and their saliva flowed, but when they looked at it, everyone's faces froze.

Because many people feel those sheep ...... Not quite right. (To be continued.) )
