Chapter Eighty-Nine: Zhao's Army Goes South

The city of Anyi was empty, empty except for the soldiers of the coalition army, all the doors and windows were closed, and occasionally one window opened, revealing a human head, and after seeing the soldiers on the road, he quickly shrank back.

Zhao Kuo did not order An Min, since An Yi was handed over to Wei State, it was still up to Wei State to deal with it, he didn't like to meddle in things.

"This snow is getting heavier and heavier, and if it continues like this, as long as we attack the Qin army for the next day and night, the speed of our attack on the Qin army will be slowed down for at least five days." Zhao Kuo sighed.

According to intelligence, the Qin army was building a fortress on the west bank of the river, apparently intending to abandon the east side of the river.

At this time, the river was already frozen, and if it did not snow heavily, Zhao Kuo was still confident that he would cross the river before the Qin army's defense line was perfected, and even hit Xianyang.

But now that the snow is falling, it will be difficult to march.

"We're not having a good time, and Qin Jun won't be happy either." Storm Kite said.

"I don't know what's going on with Zhao Jun." Zhao Kuo said with some concern, the news that the scouts had not been in vain recently came, which made him a little uneasy.

"It's hard to get down Anyi, don't think about this, you see Xinlingjun......" Tian Dan pointed not far away and said.

At this time, Wei Wuji happened to come out of the city, and he didn't know where to get the horses, cows, sheep, pigs, dogs, chickens, six animals, and a large number of sacrificial items that Zhao Kuo didn't know and walked towards the outside of the city.

"I don't want to do this, let's go, let's go back to the camp to drink, even the commander of the Qin army, Si Li, has been captured, don't worry about the Qin army's sneak attack."

Zhao Kuo shook his head, pulled Tian Dan, Storm Kite, Meng Biao and others to turn around and walk towards the camp.

Alcohol is forbidden in the army, but it is not absolute, and generally after a big victory, the whole army can drink alcohol.

Of course, this is only in name, in fact, only the middle and high-level generals can drink alcohol, and ordinary soldiers forget it. Even if one person has one bowl, hundreds of thousands of troops combined, no country can afford it.

Back in the camp, Zhao Kuo summoned his subordinates to prepare wine and food, and then sat on the bench with the generals casually chatting, not a formal occasion, and everyone was more casual.

The blessing of Zhao Kuo has been completely popularized in the army, and no one objected to it except for some old stubborn people who said that it did not conform to Zhou etiquette.

Cang Liao knows etiquette, most of the soldiers are from civilian backgrounds, and they can't even eat enough, you mention Zhou Li to me? I'll pick up the bench and smash you, believe it or not.

But the old guy of Shou Candle sprayed Zhao Kuo several times, and then was sent back to Qin by Zhao Kuo, and he was still scolding Zhao Kuo when he left, I don't know if it was because of Zhou Li or because he didn't succeed in the purpose of his mission.

It didn't take long for the banquet to be set up, all kinds of ingredients were very rich, and although the conditions in the army were difficult, they were definitely not limited to the commander-in-chief rank, unless the commander-in-chief volunteered to share weal and woe with the soldiers.

Anyway, Zhao Kuo was unwilling.

After toasting together, Zhao Kuo sandwiched the dish and ate it, China has spared no effort in the study of eating since ancient times, although there was no vegetable oil in the Warring States Period, but the cooking techniques such as stir-frying have been invented with animal oil, and the "Chu Ci" mentioned that "鹄acid 臇juǎn 凫, fried Hong 鸧 cāng." The Book of Rites also mentions, "If you decoction all the ointments with the porpoise, the ointment will be destroyed." ”

However, it is mainly boiled and roasted, and the ingredients are boiled in Xiaoding, which reminds Zhao Kuo of the hot pot of later generations.

Unfortunately, during the Warring States period, there were no chili peppers, pepper and other ingredients, and the taste was much lighter, and the food was a little unpleasant.

The camp separates the inside and outside of the tent into two worlds, and the snow is heavy outside, but the inside of the camp is as warm as spring.

The coalition army fought all the way from Sanchuan to Hedong, and today captured Anyi, everyone was very happy in their hearts, and they toasted each other frequently, especially Zhao Kuo, who was the commander-in-chief, was constantly poured wine.

Usually, everyone is afraid of Zhao Kuo's identity, but at this time, they don't regard him as a commander.

After Zhao Kuo came to this world, his spirit has been tense, even during the time in the Wei State, because he was worried about Zhao Jun, he couldn't sleep peacefully.

Although he has not completely defeated the Qin army now, at least there will be no danger to his life, his spirit is relaxed, and he is almost not afraid, and he is about to fight with him with his beard.

"When Ma Fuzi arrives in South Korea in the future, you must remember to look for me." The violent kite slapped Zhao Kuo on the back twice excitedly, almost not slapping Zhao Kuo out of breath.

For a long time, he has been the first general in South Korea, although he has achieved certain results, but every time he faces Qin Guo, he is beaten violently, this is his first victory over Qin Guo, although he is not the coach, he is also satisfied.

"Ma Fuzi is a person from my Zhao country, what are you robbing in South Korea." At this time, Lian Po and Le Yi opened the camp tent, walked in from outside, and said with a smile on their faces: "Okay, while we are away, you are secretly drinking." ”

"Gentlemen...... How did it end up here? Everyone looked at the two of them in astonishment.

Aren't these two supposed to be in Wing City?

"Let everyone down, we didn't hold back the Qin army, Bai Qi abandoned Yicheng and Gujiang overnight, and withdrew the army to the other side of Fenshui. We thought that instead of attacking Fenshui and then attacking the river, it would be better to attack the river directly, so we came to you. ”

Lian Po and Le Yi found a vacant seat to sit down, and then motioned to the next person to prepare dishes and chopsticks, and said confidently.

The Qin army is in the west, the Zhao army is in the east, and if the Qin army insists on retreating, no one can stop it.

"......" everyone.

"It's also a good thing that the Zhao army has withdrawn, and the three of us will definitely be able to defeat the Qin army." Storm Kite hurriedly said.

"What about the army?" Zhao Kuo was a little puzzled.

Zhao Jun is heading south, he should have received the information a long time ago.

"The army is still behind and has just set off, we have handed it over to Li Mu to lead, that kid has been making rapid progress recently, just let him practice his hands, there will be no accidents. It was supposed to be two days to arrive, but now it could take three or five days, and we didn't expect it to snow. Lian Po said.

"Don't talk about that, come on, let's drink." Le Yi said happily.

He hadn't drunk for a long time, and he almost couldn't even afford to eat these days in Zhao Jun, as for wine? Don't talk about drinking, you can't see it. Now when I see the wine, the wine worm is immediately hooked out.

"Yes, yes, drink, I'll talk about it tomorrow." Jin contempt raised his glass and said.

After some staggering, everyone gradually opened up the conversation, although they belong to three countries, each has its own master, but at least at this time they are standing together.

No one knows if there will be such an opportunity to get together in the future, everyone drank to their heart's content, and no one used the internal gas to steam the alcohol.

Wei Wuji came back after sacrificing to the ancestors and saw that everyone was drinking, so without saying a word, he took Zhu Hai to join the battle, without the idol baggage of the four princes of the Warring States period.

Wei Wuji was in a good mood, after the sacrifice was over, the voice of his ancestors who had been calling and complaining in his ears all day long, and even the ancestral spirit that was dangling in front of him disappeared without a trace in an instant.
