Now is a good time for birds and beasts on the mountain to stick to autumn fat, people are no exception, Wei Changpan and his party in the Yanyulou disciples went out hunting with crossbows, and after a while, one person carried a fat roe deer, and one person carried eight or nine round gray hare ears and hummed back, and when the trivial things of bloodletting, disemboweling, belly, skinning and cutting meat were done, it was the time to build a charcoal fire to roast meat.

This mountain is full of pine forests, and the roe deer meat roasted with pine charcoal has a unique taste, even if they don't have any spice kitchen utensils around them to cook, this is such a simple way to roast and then smear with salt, and the roe deer meat is so fat that people have to swallow their tongues together.

The fat and thin sylvestris meat on the fire was roasted to squeak and squeak with oil, and a roe deer seemed to be not small, and after being peeled off and deboned, it was only eight or nine catties of meat to eat. But fortunately, there are eight or nine round hares that are full of autumn fat, wearing sticks and roasting on the fire, although the taste is slightly inferior to the roe deer meat, but it is also authentic game, and it is on the banquet of big restaurants such as Wuhang City Zuixiang Building.

A whole roe deer leg was sent to Wei Changpan and Chen Shi, roasted to the point that the butter was just right, this hind leg accounted for a lot of weight on the roe deer, Wei Changpan knew that if he and Chen Bo shared the food like this, they would have to eat less meat, but Chen Shi didn't care about this.

"If such a good wild thing is put in the hands of those big restaurant cooks, they will try their best to fiddle with this roe deer, but in the end they will lose their original flavor. Chen Shi, who took a knife and cut a piece of meat from the leg of the roe deer, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully, let out a pleasant sigh, "This kind of wild thing, eat it while it is fresh, and the simplest way is the best cooking." ”

Wei Changpan also took out a close-fitting dagger to cut a piece of meat and pick it up and send it to his mouth, and the roasted fat fragrance rose to his nose before entering the mouth, and it was tender when he reached the mouth, with a hint of sweetness.

When he swallowed this mouthful of meat, he only felt that the fatigue of running around for days on his body had been reduced a lot, and his body was warm, and he also had some empathy for the old gentry who was willing to leave on Panheng Mountain.

A roe deer leg was eaten by Wei Changpan and Chen twelve people in less than a cup of tea, and the amount of food for people who practice martial arts is naturally much larger than that of ordinary people, Wei Changpan thought to himself at this time that he was only four or five points full, but he was embarrassed to take a hare again, so he secretly went to the corner and took two dry and hard coarse dough cakes in the shadow and baked them by the fire to deal with the past.

This kind of dry food for long-term storage is baked very dry to prevent rot when it is made, and it is still the same when it is carried on the body for several months of marching, and it is naturally the most convenient military ration in the eyes of the master of the Dayao Military Department. So some of the soldiers who received these breads as rations had bad teeth, and they all wondered if they would be broken alive again this time.

Just as Wei Changpan gathered all his strength and wanted to deal with this cake, Chen Shi, who had been looking at Wei Changpan in surprise and gritting his teeth from the side, finally reminded, "When I was in the border army, this Hades cake was soaked in hot water to make porridge and drunk..."

"Uncle Chen, why didn't you say it earlier?" Wei Changpan took the cake from his mouth that had no more than a circle of tooth marks and bite marks, and said with a wry smile, "You didn't have to deal with this cake so hard if you said it earlier...."

"You didn't ask me...."

....

"However, although this cake is so hard that it can crush people, when the border army is defending the city, one person can only have half a sheet a day, and when it is boiled and soaked in water, it can have half a pot of thick porridge, which can withstand a day's hunger. Chen Shi narrowed his eyes and recalled the past, "At that time, when your master was not full, he always liked to use some rhetoric to deceive others about rations, Lao Tzu believed that he wanted to match the eldest girl of the Shen family with our evil, and half of the daily rations fell on his stomach, and when he was hungry in the middle of the night, he still thought that the girl twisted up to give people a straight look at the good ass of life...."

"At that time, your master had not yet become the head of the cavalry at the border gate, and when you and Uncle Chen were just a pawn, he always thought that one day he would start a sect on the rivers and lakes with his martial arts, and at that time he thought that he would not have to wait for the few coins of silver that were often in arrears every month to go to drink and eat. ”

"Your master has real skills, no matter how many times he mixes among the pawns, he can't escape the official who can know people well, when he became a general, your Uncle Chen was still a mere chief, and there are only a dozen or so people under him, if there is no such thing, maybe your master will one day be able to sit in the high position of a state general." ”

These are all a long time ago, when they were still in the fortress outside the northern frontier of Da Yao, as the outpost and the initial line of defense of Da Yao to resist the southward movement of the grassland barbarians, it can be abandoned at any time, there are dozens of people guarding a fort, before they were razed to the ground by the hooves of the barbarians, dozens of pawns, including Chen Shi and Zhang Wu, searched their stomachs and told all the stories they saw and heard in their stomachs, and the only thing that could still kill them was the twenty Wen a pot of bad wine, and the two of them were reduced to the appearance of drinking like their lives later。

"That year was the same as the previous two years, the grassland was hit by a snowstorm, the cattle and sheep froze to death, and the barbarians came south to rob the money and food population, but as soon as the two hundred barbarian rangers arrived, and after a few rounds of shooting, the gate of the fort was broken. Chen Shichang sighed, "Everyone drinks on weekdays to relieve boredom, even if they know a few tricks and some martial arts, they are more rusty, and when the gate is broken, there is no one who can block the barbarians, and if they can't walk a few times, they will be..."

Although the officials of the Ministry of War also knew that such a number of lonely fortresses would be set up, there was no doubt that the lives of those soldiers stationed in the fortress were handed over to the barbarians of the grassland, just to send the message of the barbarians going south as soon as possible.

In fact, these fortresses with no oil and water at all are very similar to chicken ribs to the barbarians who go south to the grassland, and they are tasteless to eat, and they are worried that these forts that fall behind will send troops to disturb them. The small tribes can only produce a few hundred horses and a few hundred men, and attacking two forts will hurt the muscles and bones of the entire tribe, and those big tribes with strong soldiers and horses have to pinch their noses to do these hard work that has no oil and water at all.

"The two hundred or so barbarians, all of whom were men and horses called Taiqigebu, were led by a young barbarian named Dunmao to be slashed and killed in the fortress. After a pause, Chen Shi said, "After your Uncle Chen's arrows were finished, he retreated to the house in the fortress with the people who were still alive, and waited for the barbarians to attack with a knife. ”

"Is the current lord of the Taiqige Division?" Wei Changpan was incredulous, "Shigong and you have both met..."

"Those people and horses are all dressed in the Taiqi Ge Department, and the brute words have been spoken more smoothly than the official words in the grassland over the years, and there is no reason to hear them wrong. However, neither I nor your master would have thought that the young man who was only in command of two hundred cavalry was the lord of the Japanese Rear Clan, Dunmao Chao and Ladd. ”

"At that time, I had a glimpse of it outside the gate of the Yuanyuan City, and I knew that he was the lord of Taiqige, but unfortunately in the end, he was only a little bit closer, and he could be left under the city by that cavalry army..."Wei Changpan thought about the scene at that time, and said with emotion, "When the cavalry army charged side by side, it was really like seeing the tide of the river..."

"How can the cavalry trained by your master be worse than the barbarians of the steppe? When I first met him with your master, I saw him with arrows to the means of his command, and the barbarians are not good at attacking fortifications since ancient times, although our fortress can only shrink up and be beaten, but it has a favorable location, and it is unheard of for him to be unreasonable and open the gate with a cup of tea. Perhaps it should have been thought from then on that this Jie Gebu Dunmao would become the first grassland lord who could shake the offensive and defensive pattern of the grassland and the Central Plains. ”

"But didn't the city of Round Circle be breached? on the other hand, those barbarians were killed so that they lost their armor and fled in the wilderness..."

"And the battle under the city, Uncle Chen has already heard about it, you kid scholar did that kind of behavior, do you really think that it is just a four-story realm of martial arts, and the martial arts are endless?" Chen Shi was so angry that he kicked Wei Changpan to the ground, "That is, your kid is lucky, even if it was a little disadvantageous to you at that time, a few more lives are not enough for you to squander." ”

Wei Changpan also knew that it was mostly luck to be able to defend and round the city gate by himself, and he couldn't help but want to divert the conversation while being ashamed: "Why did Chen Bo suddenly talk about the accident on the grassland? Our top priority is not the Songfeng Mountain and the deer cutting platform in front of us..."

"I got the news a while ago that most of the killers who cut Lutai in Jiangzhou were evacuated, and most of them went north to the grassland. ”

"Go north to the grassland.... What to do?"

"This is also the reason why I have been pondering this strangeness in recent days, there must be a demon when things go wrong. Chen Shi picked up the leg bone of the roe deer that still had some residual flesh and said to Wei Changpan before gnawing it, "But there is one thing you have to understand, you Wei Changpan is a native of Dayao Jiangzhou before the Zhang family in Qishan County." ”

At this time, there is no reason to argue with the priority of people.
