This was a great victory. There were a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses in the northern border. Except for the more than 20,000 people who were killed, only a few others were scattered, and the rest were all captured.
Qi Min rushed down the steep slope and bowed respectfully to King Yue: "My lord sees the king, the lord has endured humiliation to expose his ambitions in the northern Xinjiang. Today, he finally defeated the northern Xinjiang. The lord has made great contributions. After the Northern Xinjiang was cleaned up, the atmosphere among the imperial army and the Western Guangdong army was very delicate, but Qi Min's remarks shocked everyone, and then they showed a sudden look: King Yue did what he did before to lure Northern Xinjiang. Take the bait and take the opportunity to clean them up? No wonder it always feels weird, it turned out to be
so.
Qi Min quickly arranged the manpower and quickly spread the words he said in the army. Naturally, the western side of Guangdong also heard about it. The hearts of the people gradually relaxed, and they were able to live in peace, and no one wanted to fight. beat to death.
Qi Min followed King Yue to the camp in western Guangdong. Looking at the orderly arrangement of sentries and guards in the camp along the way, Qi Min couldn't help but admire: "My lord, when I return to Kyoto, the lower official must learn from you. The law of war."
The slaughter on the battlefield made the anger and resentment accumulated in King Yue fully vent. Although his expression was cold at this time, he no longer had the alienated appearance of refusing others thousands of miles away: "You are welcome to come and communicate with Mr. Qi at any time. ."
In the camp, there are too many prisoners in the northern border, and they need to be dispersed and held.
Part of the imperial army entered the camp in western Guangdong.
After knowing that King Yue had not rebelled, the soldiers of the two sides soon mixed together. The soldiers in the army spoke without scruples. Some soldiers on the side of the imperial army had frozen snot running through their noses. They couldn't help but look at the soldiers in western Guangdong with admiration: "You live here all year round, it's really hard."
The soldier in western Guangdong had a simple and honest smile on his face: "It's nothing, Yuxi City is much better, you have never been to the highlands in western Guangdong, where the snow does not melt all year round, and the geese flying over can freeze their heads. , that's cold."
The soldiers of the imperial court admired even more: "It's really admirable that you live so hard and you can be so brave and good at fighting."
"It's hard? It's okay. It used to be hard. I feel much better in the past two years. I have to thank the princess."
"It's much better?" The court soldiers pouted secretly, thinking that the people of western Guangdong just want to save face, look at this place where the birds don't shit, after they were dispatched, it would be good to have dry food to eat, western Guangdong is so poor, western Guangdong is so poor Where can the soldiers get better
With that said, everyone entered the camp, and just after they came in, they smelled a peculiar fragrance.
The soldiers of the imperial court pulled the armor of the soldiers in western Guangdong next to them: "What is this for? Is it cooking for Princess Yue alone?"
"The princess has her own small kitchen. Besides, how can there be such a big movement when the princess is alone? We have just finished the war, so naturally we have to eat now, and I didn't see the smoke coming from the fire room. ?"
The soldiers of the imperial court felt a little dumbfounded: "What do you eat when you eat?" The food in the army can have such a taste. Don't you brag about the explosion
The soldiers in western Guangdong felt that the reaction of this brother was a little strange: "Are you hungry, then you will stay and eat together later, ah, it seems that the army can't keep people at will, so, I eat a lot in the morning, this will I'm not hungry either, when it's my turn to eat, I'll give you half of it."
The imperial soldiers were stunned for a while. They wanted to refuse, but when they smelled the tempting fragrance, they swallowed the words of refusal inexplicably: "Okay, thank you, brother."
"You're welcome."
After all the prisoners were rushed to the prison camp, the soldiers of the imperial court kept urging the soldiers in western Guangdong to hurry up and get meals, for fear that they would be gone if it was too late. The soldiers in western Guangdong thought he was hungry, so there was no delay. After returning, he brought his own food and brought it over: "Brother, I specially ordered a bowl for you, you eat quickly, I will return it after eating. ." Saying that, he opened the specially made clay pot in his hand and poured a bowl of ginger with a mellow flavor.
The tea came out, and then he handed over two thick-faced steamed buns in his hand. The soldiers of the imperial court widened their eyes, took the bowl in their hands and took a deep breath. This is the taste. The ginger tea in the bowl was fried to a golden yellow color, boiled in the pot, and the dried vegetable leaves were stretched again. , turned out to be still emerald green, with diced meat under the vegetable leaves, fried to golden brown,
With a burst of tempting coke aroma, drink it in one sip, and your belly is full of warmth.
"You... do you all drink this?" "Yeah, but you can't just drink this when you're fighting, you still have to eat some dry food, otherwise you'll be hungry and you won't have the strength to kill people, but this ginger tea is really nourishing, we There are a few scumbags in the army, who used to be thin and thin, but now they have gained a lot of weight." After finishing speaking, the soldiers in western Guangdong looked at the court.
The soldier's expression was subtle, and he couldn't help but wonder, "Didn't your lord offer the recipe for ginger tea? Don't you have ginger tea to drink?"
The soldiers of the imperial court pursed their lips, savoring the taste of ginger tea carefully, and couldn't help sighing: "Yes, yes, after drinking it once, I feel that the taste is okay..." The ginger tea they drank was only rice noodles, even vegetable leaves. Very few, let alone diced meat, just like that, when they drank it for the first time, when they saw the oil flowers floating out of the bowl, they also felt that the fragrance could not tie their tongues, but this old saying is good, shop around I have to throw it away... Take a look at other people's ginger tea, and then
Looking at what I have drank, it is estimated that the ginger powder can be taken out and compared.
The soldiers in western Guangdong held up their bowls, took two sips, and hiccupped contentedly: "You guys are so picky, we don't drink enough all day long. It made the princess poor. Speaking of which, it's really not easy for the princess..."
The soldiers of the imperial court were even more depressed: If such ginger tea is not enough for them to drink, there are vegetables and meat in it. Usually, they are reluctant to eat such a good meal at home. Princess Yue is obviously opening a small kitchen for the soldiers and generals under King Yue. ,so envious!
Qi Min was also unable to sit still because of the fragrance in the barracks, and directly proposed to King Yue to discuss after dinner. King Yue readily agreed. Originally, he wanted someone to prepare some meals alone, so he heard Qi Min's strong request to taste the ginger tea in the army. Simply, the two of them would eat and sleep with the soldiers and generals on weekdays. King Yue wasn't very hungry, and he was worried about Mu Yunyao, so he didn't have much time.
I don't have much appetite, but Qi Min held ginger tea with bright eyes, went down a few large bowls, and served it with simple meals, which made him extremely satisfied.
"I came to western Guangdong during this period of time. It was really hard. Coupled with the heavy snow, the supply of food and grass was limited. It was so comfortable that I hadn't eaten for several days.
"Master Qi is too polite."
"I don't know if there is any spare ginger tea here, my lord. It's freezing cold in western Guangdong, and many soldiers will not be able to adapt to it when they arrive. If there is a bowl of warm ginger tea..." As a good general, you must If you love soldiers like a child, you have to eat it yourself, and you must think about letting your soldiers and generals experience it as well.
"Master Qi, all the ginger tea in our army was mobilized with the help of the princess, and this king is also very poor." King Yue was straightforward. "Ah, I heard that the princess is also here. I don't know if the subordinates can go to visit?"
