Chapter 374: "Dumplings" Changed to Vegetarian Diet

In the Great Wilderness, a war has never been said to end soon, even if it is a small-scale battle, it is normal to fight for several years, if it is a slightly larger war, the two sides will be deadlocked for more than ten or decades, and it is possible that it will affect several generations.

丨Zhongrong County丨A rebellion of King Li, after several years, there was no sign of pacification, and the rout army and displaced people from Zhongzhou went out of the customs, and the momentum was even greater, and it was by no means a problem that could be solved in a moment and a half, which was also the reason why King Zhongrong丨 Sun Mishi was in a hurry to find help.

A long war is often the beginning of the decline of a country, too large a land, so that the pace of war can not be fast at all, stop and stop is a common thing, most of the time, the warring sides are accumulating strength, preparing for the next battle, it is not uncommon to fight only one battle a year.

The final result of a war often depends on who can't bear it first, and until its own strength is dragged down, the collapsed economy, logistics, and political power will naturally be unable to supply and transport troops, supplies, armaments, grain and grass and other war materials to the front line, and the war will naturally not be able to be fought.

In general, Zhongrong County has always maintained a good advantage in this war, the county is relatively stable, the supply of troops is sufficient, and the grain harvest is abundant, as long as it does not encounter large-scale natural disasters for several years in a row, it can hold out for a long time in this war.

And the land in the east of the Great Wilderness is indeed blessed, favored by the heavens, the land is fertile and can be pinched out by grabbing a handful of soil, except for the occasional infestation of wild beasts, I have not heard of a large-scale natural disaster there in the past few hundred years.

In this environment, it is theoretically possible to maintain the long-term prosperity of an empire, but prosperity must decline, and an overly comfortable life can easily lead to laziness and corruption, and the Great You Dynasty, a huge giant that has ruled Zhongzhou for more than 2,000 years, has fallen into a terminal state of illness, and the pests parasitic on Zhi's body have begun to ravage restlessly, greedily sucking the essence of the giant, and sending Zhizhi into the ghost gate.

This is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.

In the culture of the Great Wilderness, the so-called "luck theory" is very particular, because the four dynasties of Dayu, Da Yin, Da Ji and Da Ying before the Great Darkness have only maintained the national fortune for more than 2,000 years, so that the so-called "alternation of national luck and luck" was born in the Great Wilderness School.

And the Dayou Dynasty, which has maintained the Guozuo for more than 2,000 years, in the eyes of some restless people, has obviously reached the period of decay of the Guozuo, and it is beginning to move, and the one hundred and eight major princes and three hundred and sixty-six small princes in the huge land of Zhongzhou are fighting each other, which can explain everything.

The Zhongzhou rout army that attacked the Dingjun Mountain was just the power of the exile of the Guannan counties near Zhongzhou Guanyang Pass, which showed that the princes in Zhongzhou had burned the war all over Zhongzhou, if the speculation was right, these Guannan rout troops were just the first wave of the troubled times.

Those princes who had the advantage in the war, under the skyrocketing confidence, it was impossible to let go of any piece of good meat of the "fat deer" in the whole 丨Zhongyou丨, whether it was "deer antler" or "deer tail", they would become the object of their coveting.

The temptation of expanding the territory and achieving the foundation of this kind of thing, there is no such thing that the emperor can resist, and the emperor of the previous dynasty did not do, the princes of the rising will not think that they can't do it, even if there is only one-tenth of the hope, they dare to fight to the death, so as to leave a strong mark for themselves in the history books of the Great Wilderness.

It has been several years since the Guannan rout army attacked Dingjun Mountain, but as the war in Guannan became more and more intense, the number of exiled rout troops and displaced people became larger and larger, which not only added a large number of troops to the Guannan rout, but also made their offensive more and more intense.

The war was tight, and the king of Zhongrong, who was forced to leave Sun Mishi, had to tilt his energy to Dingjun Mountain, and he was completely unable to suppress the rebellion of the Li people in the county and the imminent movement of the small country of the desolate and robbers.

However, compared to the threat of the defeat of the Guannan army, in the eyes of Sun Mishi, it is just a disease of ringworm and scabies, once the Guan Trouble is pacified, it is estimated that there is no need for him to send a large army to suppress it, and these ill-intentioned clowns will die down.

The whole army may only be used as a means to deter the princes under his command in peacetime, but now that the war is tight, it is obviously impossible for Sun Mishi to waste any strength to do meaningless things.

Therefore, the rules of this military exercise have been modified to compete for battle medals in the chaotic army, and the elite soldiers of various departments who come to participate in the military exercise will be directly thrown into the battlefield and behead the enemy chief in the midst of thousands of troops.

The elites who can participate in the martial arts exercise, needless to say, are all warriors with outstanding strength, and no matter how low the realm is, it will not be lower than the realm of Ji Pin JT, if it is only used to rush into battle and kill those ordinary enemy troops who are even just 丨 sacrifice level, it is too wasteful.

Fighting generals and assassinating have become the best means of competition, and this means of gathering the masters of the whole army and destroying the enemy's high-level combat power as much as possible can not only select the elite in the army, but also weaken the enemy, which is absolutely a double win.

The process of the military exercise will not disturb and affect the progress of the entire war, and the soldiers participating in the military exercise do not have to obey the orders of any general, what they want is only to rush into the enemy group and massacre the opponent's generals in a certain battle according to the orders of the general of the martial arts, and use the enemy's head to accumulate their own battle medals, and win the military exercise in exchange for the praise of the superiors.

Therefore, they were busy with theirs, while the soldiers and horses of the Dingjun Mountain were still fighting their own, and the two sides were not disturbing each other in an orderly manner.

Just when Bo Yeyuan and the others found that they had lost the most important person on the trip and began to panic, Fei Yi had already followed the Huji army who came out of the battle in a daze, left the Zhongrong army camp of the Zhenwu General Feng, and went straight to the ancestral bone plain.

Generally speaking, the Zhongrong army side with its back to Dingjun Mountain is naturally the most cost-effective to take a defensive position in this war, and the Zhongrong King can sit firmly on the fat "deer tail" of Zhongrong County for thousands of years, and it is because of the protection of this moat that the battles have been fought like this for thousands of years.

However, in the past few years, with the great prosperity of the army, the Guannan army has gained a firm foothold on the ancestral bone plain, and even opened up cities and garrisons, and recruited a large number of displaced people to open up wasteland on the spot, so as to reduce the pressure on logistics and transportation, and form a large area of solid forward base.

Therefore, when the Zhongrong Army had the advantage in the war, it also had to take the initiative to attack, as much as possible to destroy some of the troops and grain hoarding bases of the Guannan Defeated Army, and weaken the opponent's combat strength.

Fei Yi sat on the cart drawn by the beasts that looked like a cow, but was much bigger and more powerful, and chatted with the little soldier named "Cheng Partridge".

His scaly beast, which was casually named "Dumpling", obediently followed the cart in the same way, without any consciousness of being a carnivorous beast mount, and Fei Yi didn't even bother to tie it with the reins.

Cheng Partridge casually used the thin artemisia bamboo in his hand to gently whip the huge ass of the pack beast, adjusting the direction to let it follow the team, and asked curiously: "Shaoyi, how many years have you been in the army?"

Fei Yi thought about it, if he joined the general's office, even if he joined the army, then he would have a few months of "military age".

"Ahh ”

Cheng Partridge looked at Fei Yi sympathetically: "I only need to stay up for another half a year to go back." ”

This adult partridge looks not very old, but he didn't think that he is a veteran who has served for almost five years, although he has been working as a pawn and a servant in the past five years, and has never personally fought in battle, but he can survive on the battlefield, and he cannot but say that he is extremely lucky.

Maybe it is rare to meet people of the same age as themselves in the army, and the adult partridge talks a lot, chattering about all kinds of trivial things in their baggage camp, and from time to time mentioning various skills of concubines.

"You used to work for Shangguan Beasts (such as serving livestock), right? Why did you bring Shangguan's Jiao Scale Beast here? Pay attention when the time comes, don't you dare to lose Shangguan's Jiao Scale Beast in the battle array, Shangguan blames you, and you can't afford to lose it if you sell it."

Cheng Partridge said with great interest: "The Shangguan you are serving is afraid that he is a general above the rank of general, this scaly beast is only qualified to ride by the generals who go into battle to fight, and even the generals of our baggage battalion do not have carnivorous beasts."

This little soldier is also a fool, or the group of soldiers at the bottom of the army, who doesn't understand the military formation system at all, if Fei Yi is a soldier, how can he bring Shangguan's mount into the baggage camp privately.

Of course, this also has something to do with the rather chaotic management of the servant group, the vast majority of them, before joining the army, are just ordinary rural farmers who have not even awakened the power of the bloodline, once the battle situation is unfavorable on the battlefield, they are the ones who die the most, and no one knows how many people are in a servant battalion, otherwise there is such an unknown guy as Fei Yi, who would have been discovered a long time ago.

And because he often goes out with the army, in order to save his life, he picks up some dead people's clothes and armor on the battlefield, which leads to the equipment on all the pawns that are called a strange one.

Cheng Partridge also has a worn leather armor full of arrow holes and knife marks, although it is not a set, but in terms of thickness, it is much better than the black and black nightmare armor on Fei Yi's body.

丨Black Nightmare Armor丨It looks like a thin layer of skin dyed with ink, although it is a complete set from top to bottom, but only slightly thicker leather is superimposed on the joints and vital parts, and it is not even armor at all.

It may be rare for someone to be willing to listen to his nagging, he is very enthusiastic with his old qualifications, saying that he will help Fei Yi get a piece of armor to save his life if he has the opportunity, and Fei Yi does not refute, but just happily says yes.

The Hussar Army丨 usually does not go too far from the Dingjun Mountain, and once it is dangerous, it will be withdrawn to the Dingjun Mountain丨Later, so their baggage team that supplies the battlefield for the Huss Army丨 does not carry too much baggage, the scale is not too large, as a follow-up force, the intensity of the march is not high, and they only walked out of more than 50 treks a day, so they set up a meal and prepare to welcome the soldiers of the Huss Army back to the camp.

After half a month of stop-and-go like this, the baggage team was scattered more and more in the wasteland and scattered to different areas because they had to supply the different parts of the Hussar Army, and soon there were only five or six thousand people left in their army.

Fei Yi is very good at going with what he encounters, anyway, he doesn't know where to go, he doesn't have any purpose, and he is not very interested in what martial arts he is, so it's quite interesting to just follow the baggage team.

Every day, he followed Cheng Partridge in some rough work of feeding horses, carrying bags, and camping and building houses, and his strength made a lot of soldiers marvel, and they all praised him as a good laborer, and from time to time they could hear some information from the front line, saying that they had defeated a large camp of grain hoarding in the southern part of the Guannan army, killed how many people on the other side, and how many people they had killed in battle.

Human life on this battlefield seems to be the most worthless thing, and the pawns who have been accustomed to life and death do not seem to worry about their own lives in danger, and they are numb to work every day, so as to eat two meals a day, and to have a full stomach is the most meaningful thing for them, when to die, how to die, and where to die, it doesn't matter to them at all.

This realization made Fei Yi feel that her memory seemed to be beginning to recover, and she remembered a lot of things, and people became smarter, and began to know how to disguise themselves, and even felt that maybe it was a good thing to get out of that woman's forbidden control.

The only thing that makes Fei Yi feel dissatisfied is that he can't eat enough, although he is not a picky eater, but a rice ball and a bowl of barnyard porridge every day are not enough to stuff him between his teeth.

Fortunately, when he came out, Le Yang Dashi gave him a whole bag of Black Nightmare Pill丨, more than 100 pieces are enough for three months, and it is normal for him not to be hungry for half a year, which is enough for him to use for a long time, otherwise the grain and grass transported by this baggage team are estimated to have been eaten up by him long ago.

On this day, the camp was set up, and Fei Yi got back a bag of meat from the team, ready to give the dumplings a tooth sacrifice, and the poor guy has been transferred from a war beast to a pack beast since he followed him into the baggage team, and was used by Yu Yi as a pack beast every day to drag those heavy grain and grass carts.

Although with the brute strength of the scale beast, this kind of work is not a problem, but the problem is that in the baggage team, there is no food prepared for a carnivore like it at all, let alone livestock, even people have a light mouth of food to eat, and they still want to eat meat?

As a result, after more than half a month, Dumpling was trained by Fei Yi from a carnivore to a herbivore, and now when he saw Fei Yi carrying out a black bean bag, his two big black eyes were soaked in tears.

Fei Yi slowly realized that she seemed to be mistaken, not all animals that look like horses eat grass, so she would rather not eat it herself, and try to get some meat to come back to comfort the poor dumplings.

It's also strange to say, Fei Yi seems to be born to understand the language of beasts, no matter how violent his temper is, how big the animal is, he is obedient and docile in front of him, telling him to go away and stop.

Some people even saw that when Fei Yi was lazy, he casually called a pack beast to help him bring the bucket, and the bulky pack beast really seemed to understand, and ran to pick up a bucket and handed it to him.

To be precise, this is no longer a normal means of taming beasts, even the Li people who are the best at taming beasts, can not make the animals show such psychic behavior, under the hands of Fei Yi, these large and small animals, in addition to not being able to stand up and walk on two legs, will not use two hands to live, there is no difference from people.

But Fei Yi himself couldn't tell what was going on, and he didn't deliberately train these animals, just casually commanded, they could understand his words and obey his orders.

Because of this, the work of the baggage team is more relaxed, and there is no need to drive the servants when marching in peacetime, and the livestock and beasts can be arranged in a line shape for a while, and they can be lined up in a line shape for a while, and they can also be lined up in an O-shape when they are interested.

The team leader of the baggage team praised this strange boy and personally named him the first horse stable of the baggage team, so that Fei Yi could occasionally get some meat from the team to come back and add nutrition to the dumplings stewed in a big pot of minced meat and black bean porridge.

People's dumplings are also carnivorous war beasts that are born to eat meat, and they can't be fed by black beans alone, and they didn't starve to death, thanks to the relationship between Fei Yi who stuffed it with a black nightmare pill and a foundation.

So for most of the month, instead of being skinny and skinny, the vegetarian dumplings have become fat and strong, and their skeletons have grown three times, and they are as energetic as a tractor that has drunk oil, and every day they are with those pack beasts that are twice as big as it, dragging the wheels of the grain and grass cart are about to smoke.

Cheng Partridge, who was busy with his work, saw that Fei Yi moved out of the cauldron that was specially used to boil meat porridge for dumplings, and hurriedly came over with drooling, this kid didn't know the craftsmanship that Lu Dao brought, a little bit of meat and bitter black mushroom, he could actually boil delicious meat porridge, and he couldn't help but grab food with dumplings every time, and he was kicked away by dumplings several times.

was busy with work, not far from the place where the baggage team was camped, there was a sudden sound of sparse hoofs, and they quickly rushed to the baggage camp, and everyone was shocked.
