According to legend, in the Song Dynasty, there were two gangs at the Caohe Wharf, the Cao Gang and the Yan Gang. The Cao Gang is engaged in transporting grain, and the Salt Gang is engaged in transporting salt. In order to dominate the dock, the two sides often made a big move, and finally ended in a big victory for the Cao Gang. The donkeys captured by the Cao Gang could not handle the goods of the Salt Gang, so they slaughtered and stewed them and set up a celebration feast; Then the meat is sandwiched and eaten in a locally made fire, which is even more delicious. Since then, Caohe donkey meat has risen, and famous food has been born. Since then, the local custom of eating donkey meat has been formed, and a set of exquisite processing techniques for cooking donkey meat have gradually been explored.

After the death of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, his descendants fought in the same room. Zhu Yuanzhang's fourth son, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, sent troops to fight against Zhu Yuanzhang's heir, Zhu Yunkang, Emperor Hui of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yunkang sent the general Li Jinglong and Zhu Di to fight in the area of the Baigou River, and Li Jinglong's troops were defeated and retreated to Xushui Caohe Town. There was a shortage of food in the army, and Li Jinglong had no choice but to order the sergeants to kill the soldiers and horses to satisfy their hunger. The local people have the custom of eating donkey meat, so the cooked horse meat is also particularly fragrant. Since then, cooking horses for food has also become a custom in Caohe Town, Xushui, and the horse meat prepared tastes good.

And I really went to Baoding, Hebei, and tasted the donkey meat there to be roasted, and even knew that this thing must be stewed softly, and all kinds of spices should be put less to ensure the fragrance of donkey meat. I think of this, and horse meat is also quite a good ingredient, I remember when I traveled to Liuzhou, there was horse meat rice noodles for sale, the business thief was booming, and the horse meat was stewed in the soup and soft meat, I remember in Liuzhou in those days, every morning to line up to eat a bowl, only to feel refreshed.

Moreover, a friend also got braised horse meat to eat, and the taste made my son feel that his saliva had the urge to secrete exuberantly, damn, it turned out that he was hungry.

"It's a shame that so many horses are just thrown here, isn't it?" Ben Gongzi touched his empty belly and muttered in a low voice, Li Yaoguang next to him looked inexplicable. "Why, these horses are dead, can you still take them?"

"By the way, Yu Liang in the army only has Hu Cake, right?" Ben Gongzi asked consciously towards Li Yaoguang.

Li Yaoguang nodded. "Of course, do you think everybody is going to make a compressed cake to eat like you did?" Well, during the march, Li Yaoguang took a lot of compressed cakes from me, and even Li Shimin and Li Xuanba, two shameless people, kept coming to me to ask for it.

Compared with the food and military food in the army, this compressed biscuit made by Ben Gongzi is better in terms of taste, but it is harder, and it is very difficult to eat it, of course, it can also be boiled in water to make a batter to eat, and it is naturally another flavor to eat.

"Those cakes, if they were sandwiched with a layer of meat crumbs stewed in the middle of the meat and soup, would you think it would be more delicious?" Ben Gongzi continued to touch his stomach and whispered.

Hearing this, Li Yaoguang, who has always prided herself as a gourmet, couldn't help but have her eyes shining, and I could clearly see the crystalline saliva flashing at the corners of her lips, and it seemed that she was also hungry.

"You mean you can eat this horse meat?" Li Yaoguang blinked his eyes and said in disbelief. "Haven't you heard that horse meat is poisonous?"

"That's someone else fooling you, saving everyone from eating horse meat, the cavalry of the court, can't you ride a donkey to march and fight? Besides, when it comes to saying that horse meat is poisonous, is it true that everyone in the world is so honest that no one eats it? If we really ate horse meat and were poisoned, it would definitely be propagated so much, how could we not know the truth? Ben Gongzi rolled his eyes and explained very stupidly. In later generations, horse meat was definitely a good dish, but it was not the same as donkey meat, and it needed to be made with more ingredients.

However, for Ben Gongzi, there is a problem with the root wood, star anise, Sichuan pepper, sand kernels, cardamom, tangerine peel, and even dogwood and fennel, but Ben Gongzi has brought a lot, because Ben Gongzi likes to eat barbecue, prefers delicious food, and longs for the scene of the barbecue meeting after the leisure safari of the war when the ancient army was marching and fighting.

Of course, these are all seen from the TV, for this reason, Ben Gongzi has prepared a lot of spices, naturally in case the beast is really hunted, naturally it is necessary to cook well to taste, and the fishy smell of game has always been heavy, so, these spices are a must.

Hearing my words, Li Yaoguang blinked his dark apricot eyes, and then nodded abruptly. "But I heard that horse liver is extremely poisonous, and it kills people by eating."

I almost fell to the ground, but when I turned around, I looked at Li Yaoguang's pretty face, and the innocent and confused eyes, and it took me a long time to hold back the smile. "Horse liver is poisonous, that's a joke made up in the annals."

"Jokes? It's impossible, many people have said that horse liver can't be eaten. Li Shimin next to him also came over and said with a curious face.

Ben Gongzi knew that this ticket was also the same as the people of later generations, who were fooled by the jokes in the history books, and at the beginning, Ben Gongzi was also fooled before he grew up, but when he knew that there were horse meat rice noodles in Liuzhou, Ben Gongzi was shocked, so he began to verify. Only then did I learn that horse meat can be eaten, and even horse liver can be eaten, but in ancient times, horses were a strategic material of the country, so it was naturally impossible for people to slaughter and eat.

At that time, even cattle were forbidden to be slaughtered, and as for the saying that horse liver was poisonous, it was just a joke in ancient records, but after it was handed down, it was falsely spread and eventually became a saying that horse liver is poisonous and horse meat is poisonous.

And this joke is from historical records, there is a Hakka saying that horse liver is poisonous and spicy, can kill people, and help Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "Wencheng died by eating horse liver." When he heard this, he laughed and said: "Polite words." The liver is in the belly of the horse, why does the horse not die? The guest joke said: "Horses have no 100-year life, so they have a liver." ”

Gong Dawu realized that if the family had a horse, he would kill his liver, and the horse would die immediately. Gong threw the knife and sighed: "Believe, the poison is gone, and it is not yet alive, but the liver is left?" ”

Everyone laughed exaggeratedly, and even Li Yaoguang laughed breathlessly. "It's really, so funny, I can't imagine that this guy actually fooled us all."

"It seems that our thoughts are the same as those of the prince, Ha Luha." Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh again.

After a long time, I got a piece, and when I heard this son say that the horse meat was stewed, it tasted like it was sandwiched into the cake. Li Shimin's saliva almost dripped down. "Isn't that similar to the pork we ate last time when we were defending the city?"

I nodded and replied, "It's pretty much the same, but the pork is too greasy, so if you eat too much, you'll get tired, and this horse meat is lean and the meat has a different flavor......

Next, in the defensive position of Ben Gongzi, hundreds of subordinates had already turned over the carriage, and were cutting up the corpses of those horses there and throwing them over, as for the corpses of those Turks, they didn't have the time to care. The large chunks of horse meat that had been thrown over were all dragged away, and the cauldron that had been erected over there was boiling water.

The time for stewing horse meat is not short, so now, Ben Gongzi can only take some compressed cakes to satisfy his hunger, and in a short time, at least hundreds of horses' horse meat have been cut and sent to the cooking camp where Ben Gongzi's subordinates are located, and others are amazed.

However, we can't eat so much, and when the time comes, it will naturally be used to pull ties and enhance the feelings between various ministries. Anyway, there are at least hundreds of dead horses outside, and they are being brought in one after another.

At this time, Yang Shidao rushed over and asked us to hurry to the camp to meet and discuss what to do next.

Sitting in the makeshift tent, a large number of young and handsome men of the Great Sui were all sad. Today's battle was indeed won, and about 1,800 Turkic cavalry were wiped out.

However, we also paid nearly seven hundred casualties. It was only at the moment when the Turkic cavalry broke through that nearly 400 people were killed that the gap was blocked, which was still a defense, relying on the defensive circle formed by the carriage to defend, but the losses were not small.

"How should it be now? Enter, definitely not, the three camps of those Turkic thieves are not far apart, attack one of them, the other two camps will definitely be able to rescue in time. And we are now, all the cavalry of the tribe are gathered together, and it is only more than 3,500 cavalry, even if General Yun can cooperate with us inside and outside, but it is only more than 8,000 cavalry together, and with more than 8,000 cavalry, if you want to fight against 70,000 Turkic cavalry, hehe......" Zuotunwei General Zhao Dang shook his head and smiled bitterly.

At this moment, Yang Gongdao, who was sitting on the main seat, was also worried, although he won for a while, but the problem was that it was already very difficult to repel the Turkic elite cavalry, and if he wanted to break into the city, it would be even more difficult.

And Ben Gongzi sat next to Yang Shidao, and he also had a headache. 70,000 cavalry wants to fight against 70,000 cavalry, this is completely, unless it is a later generation, all of them are AKs, this battle still has to be fought, but now don't say AK, there will not even be an old sleeve, yes, just bows and crossbows, two long-range weapons with a very slow rate of fire.

"It's a pity that the water of this Fen River is too deep, otherwise, we can cross the river from here, and then enter the city from the trestle bridge on the east bank." The other said very unwillingly.

"The Fen River is at least half as wide as an arrow here, and if you want to cross it, you can't cross it unless you can have enough boats. But now, we are trapped in this river bay, where can we find a boat? ”

There are a lot of discussions there, and this son is now thinking hard and going alone? It's impossible, it's just a few ways to find death, even if it's a group fight, it's definitely not an opponent, and you can only rely on the Fenhe River to defend.

But the question is, how long? What if these 70,000 Turkic cavalry are sincere and spend time with us? If it is consumed, it doesn't matter, anyway, our goal is to rescue the Son of Heaven, and now, containing part of the Turkic forces is equivalent to reducing the pressure in the area of Yanmen Pass, which can be regarded as meritorious.

The question is how long this vote of Turks will take with us, and this is definitely a difficult puzzle to solve. Li Shimin's face was wrinkled, and he could only shake his head dejectedly after thinking for a long time. And the Yaoguang girl looked very leisurely, sorting out the feather arrows in the quiver beside her.
