Chapter 194: The Great War
"Okay, there's one more thing to say, how many soldiers and horses can be used now!"
Hearing that Sima Shao was going to move troops, everyone became serious, and moving troops has been a big deal since ancient times.
"The government soldiers can call more than 300 people, the left and right guards can transfer 200 people, and you can also recruit about 1,000 people!" Gu Chang and the housekeeper thought for a while and then gave Sima Shao the answer!
Sima Shao coughed lightly and nodded slowly: "Very good, these people are enough, Gu Chang, wait for you to gather people and prepare to send troops to Shiwan!" ”
"Stone Bay?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, not knowing what kind of place this was.
Sima Shao couldn't help but sigh, sure enough, no one understood what he meant, and shook his head: "Well, just let the soldiers bring bamboo baskets or baskets, our target this time is not a person, but a monster, a crab!" ”
After Gu Chang heard this, his eyes lit up, how much he missed the taste of pike crabs......
"You'll know when you get there!"
Sima Shao didn't want to explain too much, did he still have to tell them that there were delicious food in Stone Bay?
Half an hour later, five hundred soldiers and a thousand civilians were assembled, and the group of people looked at each other, not knowing what to do this time?
You said you were going to war, right? Why bring a bamboo basket? And why not send dry food?
And the group of people were even more confused, looking at each other, they didn't have any weapons in their hands, no supplies, not even food?
"Let's go!"
Sima Shao was neatly dressed, wearing protective gear, and under the leadership of the old man yesterday, he set off towards Stone Bay.
The so-called Stone Bay is a cliff near the sea in Jiankang City, which is called Stone Bay because there are many stones and trees.
Sima Shao stood in front of the beach, this was the first time Sima Shao saw the sea since returning to ancient times, in modern times, Sima Shaoke had never seen such a clear sea.
"I want to tell future generations that the sea is like the sky now, and they probably won't believe it if they are killed!"
Sima Shao stood on the seashore, looked at his clear reflection, and muttered to himself, no matter what modern place advertises the cleanest ocean in the world or what sky realm, there will be no clean here, I really don't know how future generations will spoil the earth.
"Your Highness, are there any pirates going to land here?"
The butler looked at the sea with a serious expression.
"No, inform everyone, catch the pike crab, that's it!"
Sima Shao casually picked up the two pike crabs that were reproducing next to him and put them into the guard's bamboo basket.
"Catch pike crabs?"
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and then his whole face was a little unpleasant, and then he knelt down on one knee: "Your Highness, it is difficult for the old slave to obey his fate, the disaster is still slow this year, and it is too wasteful to use so many manpower and material resources." ”
Sima Shao looked at his housekeeper, this guy is good, he dares to speak, he is much stronger than the group of gentlemen who can only pat on the back, he needs this kind of talent around him, and with this kind of talent to assist him, it is estimated that even if he becomes the emperor, he should be able to be safe and stable!
Patting the butler on the shoulder with satisfaction, Sima Shao pointed to the pike crabs everywhere: "Do you think this king is calling the army to satisfy his own selfish desires?" ”
The butler lowered his head and did not speak, which was obviously the truth.
"Did you know that this crab is edible?"
"Huh?"
Gu Chang was stunned for a moment, and looked at the ugly things everywhere on the ground? Can it be eaten? Lie, I guess no one will eat this thing if I throw it to a beggar!
"Gu Chang ate it yesterday, I also ate it yesterday, it tastes good, do you know that our disaster relief food may not be enough!"
The butler nodded: "The old slave has heard of it!" ”
"This pike crab is a good thing, although it is not full, but with steamed buns, it can supplement the nutrients needed by the human body, and can save a lot of food, and this pike crab shell, ground into powder, can also fertilize the land, and can also feed livestock......"
After hearing this, the housekeeper was stunned, he didn't expect that this kind of thing had so many benefits, his hometown was also close to the sea, and this kind of thing was of no use except for taking it out when he was a child to scare his friends.
"Now do you understand why this king wants you to catch pike crabs?"
"Your Highness is wise!"
"Go, tonight, whoever catches more pike crabs, this king has a reward, of course, you must also pay attention to safety, it still hurts to catch people in the pike crab!"
"Whoa!"
Soon, a group of soldiers and civilians received orders and began to collect pike crabs.
"Can you eat this thing?"
A soldier in armor looked at the pike crab in his hand and looked at his companion with some uncertainty.
"It should be able to eat, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that it can be eaten, then you can eat it, I believe His Royal Highness the Prince!"
"Okay, but it shouldn't look too tasty, I won't eat it anyway!"
The soldier said as he tossed the crab into the bamboo basket.
"Well, so do I!"
"It doesn't matter if it's delicious or not, it's good for the people to have a bite of food to eat now, what else can they choose?"
How many pike crabs are there in Shiwan, Sima Shao doesn't know at all Anyway, except for the pike crab at his feet, the rest of the place is almost densely packed with pike crabs that are busy making villains, and in addition, there are some other seafood.
With the passage of time little by little, Stone Bay ushered in the bloodiest day in history, countless pike crab couples suffered unjustified disasters, their wives were separated, and life and death were separated!
According to incomplete statistics, in the Battle of Stone Bay, the troops dispatched by both sides were as high as tens of thousands.
Among them, the human side dispatched His Royal Highness the Prince, three generals, five hundred soldiers, one thousand people, and tens of thousands of pike crab troops, and the two sides launched a tragic battle in Jiankang Stone Bay, and finally the pike crab army was captured alive close to more than 10,000, and dozens of human soldiers were injured, ending in a tragic victory for mankind, which is known as the bloody battle of Stone Bay!
According to the memories of the surviving soldiers after the battle, the battle should have been unscathed, but as the process went relatively smoothly, some people began to take it lightly, and finally this result was achieved, and the soldier held up his injured finger and said that he should listen to His Royal Highness the Prince, no matter what enemy he faced, he should not take it lightly! Pay enough attention!
Sima Shao looked at the more than 100 wounded soldiers, sighed, and told him again and again, personally demonstrate, but as a result, this group of guys still didn't pay attention, and they were caught by the pike crab, but fortunately, they were all broken skin, fortunately.
"Bandage it, go back to the city!"
When I set off, no one took anything with them, and when I went back, I could say that I was fully loaded, with a large cart of pike crabs being placed on the cart, and a group of all kinds of seafood that no one knew what it was.
"Your Highness, what to do with these pike crabs?"
"Use a cauldron, put seawater under it to steam, wait until these pike crabs all turn red and you can eat, by the way, if someone has small red spots or vomit or something, don't worry, seafood allergies, just don't eat it immediately!"
Seafood allergies are generally rare, especially in cities close to the sea, so Sima Shao is not worried about large-scale problems.
"Whoa!"
In the camp, dozens of cauldrons were erected, and then seawater was poured into them, and large-scale steaming of pike crabs began.
"Can you really eat these ugly things? It won't be a deception from the officials, we used to see this thing in our village, and it was still walking sideways, no one dared to eat it, saying that it would be the same as this thing when walking! ”
"Really? I haven't seen it before, but this thing doesn't look like it can be eaten, and when it's cooked, let those idlers eat a little first, anyway, lie down every day and don't work, and it deserves to be poisoned! ”
"Well, I think so too, these people are not ashamed, if it were me, I would have no face to live, what to see, lazy and not let people say it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has said, labor is the most glorious, look at you, shame or not!"
When a woman saw an idler not far away, she immediately raised her voice and went back.
The idler looked at the woman, and wanted to point to something with his finger, but in the end he didn't dare to say it, so he could only forcibly endure it, and found a place to continue to lie down.
Soon, as the camps began to cook pike crabs, a fresh smell wafted through all the camps.
"It smells so good!"
"Is this the smell of pike crab?"
"It smells so good!"
In the camp, the pike crab began to waft fragrant, Sima Shao held the pike crab in his hand, silently nibbling on the pike crab on the side, can the pike crab steamed in water be delicious?
Deep-fried pike crab, spicy pike crab is king, but unfortunately there is no chili pepper......
