Chapter 104: Jujube Catechu

"Please let me go, I'll give you all my money!"

Lifting the belt of his trousers, he showed a sneer, and deliberately opened the door to let the woman look outside the house.

The woman shut up and obediently retreated into the house.

All of her men had been killed, tied up and hung from poles!

"Don't kill me! Please! I have money, give it all to you!"

The general snorted disdainfully, and said to the adjutant general who was waiting outside: "Tell the brothers to take it easy, don't kill you." Otherwise, it's not fun. ”

"Hehe, yes," the lieutenant grinned and looked into the room, and the woman's frightened eyes sneaked a glance at it and then hid back, not daring to look at it again.

The adjutant general thought about it and asked the general in a low voice: "Head, this girl said that she still has money, do you want to catch her and take a look?"

After a blank look, the general scolded: "Old Tan! You can believe this! If they have money, why do they want to go out? Besides, this kind of horse runner is very slippery, if they take you to the wolf's den, you still need money?"

The adjutant general nodded, feeling that what the general said was right, and said with a fist: "This girl can't feed her, she is always hungry, so she can't run!"

"Well, you have to keep it on a leash! Remember, tell the brothers to come in turns, don't worry, just let a few people go a day! Otherwise, if you die, everyone's fun will be gone!"

The first URL

"Yes!" Seeing the general sinister smile, the deputy general understood, and without much words, he put the blade and weapon on his body at the door of the house, and handed it over to the guards, he went in and shouted: "Serve the good old man and spare your life!"

"Haha!" the general laughed, picked up his horsewhip and walked away.

The surrounding soldiers also began to draw lots, waiting for this rare opportunity!

When the general strode down, a group of men and horses came in front of him, and the leader dismounted and showed the papers, and then the guards came over and reported: "General Qiyu, it's General Lin." ”

Nodding, he immediately ordered the door to be opened, and the general also went down to greet him personally.

When they came, half of the group were army soldiers, and half were civilians, but they were all carrying weapons, and they looked like they were good at martial arts.

Three of them were white-clad scribes, all of whom held fans in their hands.

When he came to greet him, General Lin dismounted and hugged his fist at the one led by the three white-clothed men and invited him to enter, which was very polite.

"General Lin, didn't you say that you would arrive in the afternoon?

"Hehe," hugged his fist, the tiger-backed general Xiyong was wearing a red cloak and silver chain mail, and walked majestically, but he didn't look like the kind of fierce general who rushed to the crown with angry hair, and he was a little approachable with a smile.

"General Li, come, let me introduce you, this is the little sect master of the Ye Sect of Zongqing Mansion, Mr. Yao Shanyao!"

General Li Xu was fighting too much with the bandit girl just now, his legs were a little weak, and he stumbled accidentally, and then hurriedly hugged his fists, quite embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yao Shanyao, look up for a long time!"

Yao Shan, a white-clothed scribe, smiled slightly, and when he saw General Li coming over to hug his fists, he also greeted him gently, and said with a smile: "General Li is polite, I still need the general's help in this matter!" Yao Shan thanked him here in advance!"

"Hey, Mr. Yao is too polite, your matter was personally ordered by the prince, I don't dare to have a trace of slackness! It's cold outside, Mr. Yao, go into the house to warm up, I've already asked someone to prepare wine and food, please!"

Clasped their fists at each other, and soon the group was led by the general into the big room next to the guard.

The wine and food prepared have also been cold, but fortunately in the north, the snacks are mostly braised meat, bacon, steamed buns and the like, and they can be eaten when it is cold, so they ask someone to heat the wine, and then tell someone to find the cook in the restaurant and get up and add a stove.

After three glasses of wine, General Lin said: "I was originally going to come in the afternoon, but I specially took Mr. Yao to try the artillery battle, so I delayed the time, and I ask General Li to forgive me!"

"Haha! I see, then how can I be angry, and I have to thank General Lin, oh no, Brother Lin!"

Yao Shan was a little puzzled and looked at General Lin.

General Lin smiled and explained: "Mr. Yao doesn't know, in fact, this "No. 1 Artillery Battle" in Ganzhou City was opened by General Li's younger brother!"

"Huh?" Yao Shan was surprised, clasped his fists and smiled: "I see! Oh, I was thinking just now, why did I feel a little familiar when I saw General Li, like I had seen it somewhere! Now that I think about it, General Li and Boss Li are really similar!"

"Hahaha," General Li laughed, hugged his fists and said: "Mr. Yao is polite, come to Ganzhou, then you have to try this fried cannon! If you want to eat fried cannons, it's not that I boast, but my brother's craftsmanship is the best! That is also famous in Ganzhou!"

"Hehe, indeed, it tastes really delicious, but there is a little, I can't stand it!"

"Can't stand it!?"

General Li looked at Yao Shan in a daze.

Yao Shan smiled slightly: "It's just that the amount is too big to eat!

"Huh?"

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone laughed.

"Hey, my younger brother, it's sincerity, this meal must be satisfying, eat well, eat enough, this is the way!" General Li smiled proudly and raised his glass to toast him.

Yao Shan nodded slightly, raised his wine glass and touched General Lin, and the two of them drank it in one gulp.

General Lin said with a smile: "Mr. Yao is from the Central Plains, and the amount of food is naturally not as good as ours from the Northland. ”

Yao Shan nodded: "That's right, it's really eye-opening to come to Xiyong this time, where is my hometown, a bowl of wontons is just such a big bowl," said and gestured, and then pointed to the rice bowl here: "We, call this a sea bowl!

"Haha, we have here, this bowl is usually used for eating, and one bowl is not enough, and we need two bowls!"

"Wow!" Yao Shan couldn't help frowning, and said in surprise: "Awesome!"

"Hahahaha!"

After the banquet, everyone rested, and General Li led Yao Shan and General Lin to a hut, and ordered his men to take corn and steamed buns, and throw them in the stove to roast.

I took a few jujubes, took chopsticks and put them on the hearth to roast them, and roasted them until the skin was burnt and fragrant, and the back end came to the enamel jar, added the jujubes, threw longan, raisins, and some walnut kernels, plus rock sugar and put them on the stove and slowly burned them.

The three of them gathered around the stove to make a fire.

General Li took out a piece of baked bun, broke the roasted crispy and put it in his mouth, and said while eating: "Mr. Yao, the general heard that this Dajian is also going to take action, is this matter true?"

Yao Shan nodded: "Yes, this time the plan is led by His Royal Highness King Duan, and the soldiers and horses of Yizhou will be mobilized to detour through the Tianshan Mountains to fight!"

"Well," General Li said: "The Tianshan area is now a place of three things, where the demarcation is originally blurred, and the forces of all parties are criss-crossed, according to the previous division, this part of the Western Regions is on the border of the former Dahua Kingdom, so it stands to reason that it is the land of Dajian, and there was an agreement before, we Xiyong are going to cross the Tamu River!" The original plan was that Dajian should start from Yizhou and go to the Qinghai Wasteland, pass through the Altun Mountain Passage Tianshan, and build the West Yongbing Hetian Mountain, so that the entire Hexi Corridor would be completely controlled, and the trade route would also be opened!"

But later, Dajian stopped moving, and the general was afraid that the battle line would be too long, so he didn't continue to fight. Now it is said that it is the territory of Dajian, but Dajian has only fought on the Eastern Front in the past two years, and has not taken care of the issue of the Western Front. The countries of the Western Regions were all small countries, and they didn't have the courage to encroach on that land, so they were shelved there. Now our Xiyong has just defeated the Tartars in Mobei, and the trade road is not yet peaceful, and the Tianshan Mountains are even more chaotic, and there are arrogant forces everywhere!"

Yao Shan nodded and said: "The goal this time is to exterminate the cult that has run rampant in the Tianshan Mountains, the Red Lotus Sect, for our Dajian, on the one hand, it is to maintain the stability of the Tianshan Mountains, on the other hand, as you said, Dajian has always paid little attention to the western front, so it has also led to a decline in its prestige in the west, this time it is also to let the surrounding countries see that Dajian's control over the Western Regions is still there!"

"Well, I heard that Tubo has moved again recently, mobilizing 30,000 people, I'm afraid that I don't have a good memory, and my skin is itching again, haha!" General Li smiled arrogantly, picked up the jar on the stove, found a tea bowl, and poured a bowl of freshly boiled tea for each person: "Try it"

Then it was filled with water, and the enamel jar continued to boil on the stove.

General Lin also laughed as he said: "What kind of thing is Tubo! Last time, the young marshal led 5,000 people to annihilate 20,000 of him, and there was not even a single dead or wounded!"

"I've heard of this! It's a battle for the fame of His Second Highness!" Yao Shan became interested, although he frowned a little when he looked at the bowl of black and yellow tea in the bowl, but he was also interested in hearing that Xiyong was fighting against Tubo, and he wanted to hear it.

"Coincidentally! General Li fought with the young marshal back then, Mr. Yao, I won't tell you that General Li was promoted because of the battle against Tubo!" General Lin actually has a lower rank than General Li, but he is all recorded as the Western Army of Fengxiao's Army. If you have this opportunity to make a fool of yourself, you naturally have to use it!

General Li was proud, just put the jar down, touched his beard and looked at Yao Shan's curious appearance, and laughed.

"Hahaha, that's all in the past. The heroes don't mention the courage of the year! haha. ”

"General Li, don't be polite, let's talk about it, in that battle back then, 5,000 against 20,000! He even wiped out 20,000 Tubo without injuring a single soldier, and the Tubo was frightened, and King Grahe was so frightened that he immediately wrote a letter of peace! What the hell is going on?" General Lin looked at Yao Shan proudly, and even grinned at General Li with a sycophant.

"This!"

"Woo, this tea is delicious!"

Suddenly, Yao Shan subconsciously drank a sip of the black and yellow tea in the bowl, and his brows were raised after taking a sip. It's like I've never drunk such a delicious tea!

General Lee was proud.

"General Li, what kind of tea is this? It's so special! Today, I, Yao Shan, have really opened my eyes! Can you give me a lesson?"

With a smile, he picked up the tea jar and filled it for Yao Shan, and asked him to continue drinking.

Later, in Yao Shan's inquisitive eyes, General Li slowly said the name of this tea!

This is the famous jujube catechu in the north!
