Chapter 35 Fishing by the Sea
Chen Gongle said: "This Zhang Yun is holding on to the death, now that Donglai County has been negotiated, let's fight from both sides, if Zhang Yun dares to fight."
That would be the destruction of the whole army. ”
"No, no, no, it's not what I wanted. Qingzhou has been fighting for many years, the population is pitiful, how much land is barren and uncultivated, every Han people are very precious, and now try not to kill each other. ”
Chen Gong gave a deep salute: "The lord's heart is so broad-minded, Chen Gong is superficial, so let's continue to talk tomorrow, try not to use swords." ”
"Okay, then you will be in charge of the negotiations, and the 1,000 cavalry of the Song Xian Department will be at your disposal."
"And where is the lord?"
Lu Bu flicked his sleeves: "Ben is tired of fighting, go fishing at the beach." ”
Chen Gong was speechless, you go to this Zheng war, Lu Bu wants to go fishing, just go.
Donglai City is only more than thirty miles away from the sea in the north, the distance is very close, and there is something to come back soon.
Getting up early and setting off, Lu Bu, Cheng Lian, Hou Cheng, and Guan Xu only took more than 100 cavalry and swaggered to the beach.
At the end of the team, Guan Xu was a little worried: "Zhang Yun has an army of sixty or seventy thousand, if he sends a few thousand people to surround us, wouldn't it be very dangerous for the lord?" ”
Hou Cheng pursed his mouth: "You still know too little about the combat effectiveness of the lord, just a hundred of us, chasing thousands or even tens of thousands of enemies is trivial." ”
Since Lu Bu is not worried, he is naturally not worried about being a carpenter.
The group set off early, and when they arrived at the beach, it was about nine o'clock in the morning.
Today's spring is excellent, the sun is shining on the beach, and there are thousands of people on the beach who are rushing to the sea, digging shells, sea intestines, etc., but everything that can be eaten will not be spared.
Not far away was their camp, a mess of nests, some of whom were already sick and dying.
Although Yang Taishou has a good official reputation, many of these people are Yellow Turban Army, and they are no longer under the protection of the government, not to mention that many people have diseases, so no one cares.
A little girl was about six or seven years old, covered in filth, wearing a coarse cloth shirt, carrying a bucket of sea intestines, and she was not afraid to see Lu Bu.
Lu Bu beckoned: "Little girl, come here." ”
The little girl came over and looked at Lu Bu with some curiosity.
Lu Bu took out a few pieces of flour cakes made in the army, "How about exchanging my flour cakes for your sea intestines?" ”
When the little girl saw the bread, her saliva was about to flow down.
"Okay."
Suddenly, a woman in her early twenties, with a pale complexion, deliberately touched with black pot ash on her face, and her clothes were ragged.
The woman hugged the child and said worriedly, "General, the child is not sensible, take the sea intestines, and we don't want the bread." ”
Lu Bu was very angry, he wasn't a person who killed innocents indiscriminately, so he didn't need to be afraid.
"This is my exchange with the little girl, you don't have to worry. Cheng Lian distributed hundreds of catties of food to the refugees. ”
"Yes."
Lu Bu found a reef beach, set up a small camp, and together with Cheng Lian, Guan Hai, and Hou Cheng, each took a long bamboo pole and hung sea intestines on the fish hook.
"Let's see who's catching the big fish."
Guan Hai grinned: "The first time I saw the sea, this guy is much bigger than the pond in our village. ”
As he spoke, Lu Bu caught a fish here, and with a hard pull, a black snapper came up, this fish was really strong, and it writhed the shore.
Guan Hai looked at the fishing rod in his hand excitedly, and suddenly a strong force came.
"Coming, coming, there are fish, there are fish." Lift it hard, and the water is empty above the hook.
Lu Bu regretted: "The force was too strong, and the mouth of the fish was torn, and it looks like it is still a big yellow croaker." ”
Cheng Lian shouted: "It's on the fish, it's on the fish." ”
When I pulled it up very seriously, I found that it was just a sea catfish, and the small one weighed half a catty.
Lu Bu is fishing again, and what he pulled up is a huge sea bass, weighing more than ten catties.
The little girl not far away was surprised.
"It's a big fish."
Lu Bu beckoned: "Little girl, do you know how to grill fish?" ”
"I can't do it, my mother will."
Seeing that Lu Bu was speaking kindly, the little girl's mother was not so afraid, and lowered her head and whispered: "The women will do it." ”
Lu Bu and a few others fished, the little girl and her mother handled the fish, and the cavalry packed up some dry firewood and lit a fire to make grilled fish.
Guan Hai actually caught a slender hairtail, which is relatively rare, because the hairtail fish rarely come to the shore.
The fishing rod in Lu Bu's hand suddenly shook, and there was a strong force from the dried fish.
Lu Bu didn't dare to mention it, and after slipping away for a while, he actually pulled up a big golden fish, at least thirty or forty catties.
It's all a group of inland people, where have I seen such a big fish, one by one.
"Good, good, really good, this big fish will be brought back and rewarded to the meritorious soldiers."
The woman was very skillful, scaling, washing, inserting branches, and applying table salt.
Soon the fish is grilled and the beach is fragrant.
Lu Bu asked the woman, "Where is the family, and why are you wandering on this seashore?" ”
"The folk woman Cai, a native of Lijiazhuang nearby, was destroyed in the Yellow Turban Rebellion half a year ago, and her husband was kidnapped by the Yellow Turban Army, so she has been homeless."
"It's time for the Yellow Turban Rebellion to end, and how many families have died. You grilled fish is good, and it's never a good idea to take a child on the beach, so why don't you go back with me and be a cook. ”
Cai didn't agree immediately, "I don't know who the general is?" ”
"This general Lu Bu, the new Qingzhou assassin history."
Cai hurriedly bowed: "The people have seen the general. ”
The fish are so delicious these days, the ocean is not polluted, the fish and shrimp are natural, there are not a few fishing villages on the seaside, and the salt pans not far away have been broken.
Lu Bu stared at Cai's and asked, "You are waiting here, I'm afraid you don't just rely on catching the sea, right?" ”
"The women don't dare to deceive, and we and other small people can't make a living, so they lift the sea water to the stone slab, dry it, take some sea salt, and barely eat it."
Lu Bu rode a red rabbit horse along the beach for more than ten miles, there was a bay concave in front of him, no matter how strong the wind and waves were outside, the wind and waves in the bay were calm.
Lu Bu asked Guan Xu: "Do you know how to build ships?" ”
Guan Xu nodded, and shook his head again: "I can build river boats and river boats, but I really haven't built sea boats." ”
"It's okay if you haven't built it, there are always dozens of shipbuilding workshops on such a long coastline, and I don't believe you can't find skilled craftsmen."
On the same day, Lu Bu returned to the army camp, and Cai and her daughter also returned to the camp, disguising themselves as men and becoming Lu Bu's cook, but this cook's skills are relatively monotonous, and she can only cook some seafood and the like.
Cai's family also had nothing to do, after eating, he watched Lu Bu practice, this group of cavalry maniacs, pulling bows and shooting arrows, jumping up and down, and their physical strength was bursting.
Cai didn't know what to do, so he coaxed his daughter to sleep, so he went to prepare bath water for Lu Bu.
Chen Gong came to Lu Bu again to report the progress of the negotiations, and then asked, "Lord, is this your new concubine?" ”
