Chapter 361 On the battlefield, do not forget

According to legend, during the Song Dynasty, there were two gangs, Caohe Wharf. Caogang and Yan Gang. Caogang operated grain transport, while the Salt Gang operated salt transport. Both sides often became thrilled by the dominant wharf, and finally won the game with Caogang. Caogang captured donkeys that were carrying the goods from the Salt Gang and could not be processed, so they slaughtered and stewed, and held a celebration banquet; and then ate the meat in the locally made fire roast, which made it more delicious. Since then, Caohe donkey meat has emerged and famous food was born. From then on, the custom of eating donkey meat has been formed in the local area, and a set of exquisite processing techniques for cooking donkey meat has been gradually explored.

After the death of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, his descendants fought with each other. Zhu Yuanzhang's fourth son, Zhu Di, sent troops to fight with Zhu Yuanzhang's heir, Zhu Yunkang, the heir of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yunkang. Zhu Yunkang sent general Li Jinglong to fight with Zhu Di in the Baigouhe area. Li Jinglong retreated to Caohe Town, Xushui. The army was short of food, and Li Jinglong had no choice but to order the soldiers to kill the army and horses to satisfy their hunger. The local people had the custom of eating donkey meat, so the horse meat cooked was particularly fragrant. Since then, cooking horses became the custom of Caohe Town in Xushui, and the horse meat made tasted better.

Moreover, I have really been to Baoding, Hebei, and have tasted the donkey meat firewood there. I even knew that this thing must be stewed softly, and that there should be less spices to ensure the aroma of donkey meat. When I thought of this, horse meat is also a very good ingredient. I remember that when I was traveling to Liuzhou, there was a horse meat rice noodles sold there, and the business was so popular. Moreover, the horse meat was stewed with a soup and soft meat. I remember that during the days in Liuzhou, I would queue up to eat a bowl every morning and feel refreshed.

Moreover, a friend even made braised horse meat to eat. The taste made me feel that my saliva was urged to secrete vigorously. Damn, it turned out that I was hungry.

"It's a pity to just throw so many horses here like this, right?" This young master touched his empty stomach and muttered in a low voice. Li Yaoguang next to him looked puzzled. "Why, these horses are dead. Could you still take them?"

"By the way, the only Yuliang in the army is Hu Bing, right?" I asked Li Yaoguang subconsciously.

Li Yaoguang nodded. "Of course, do you think everyone will make compressed cakes like you and eat them?" Well, during the march, Li Yaoguang took a lot of compressed cakes from me, and even the shameless people, Li Shimin and Li Xuanba, always came to me to ask for it.

Compared with the military food and military rations, the compressed biscuits made by me are better than the taste, but they are harder and very consuming when they taste. Of course, they can also be cooked in water and eaten in batter. It is naturally a different flavor.

"If those cakes are stewed with a layer of meat crumbs that are so stewed with a soupy soup, would you say it would be better?" The young master continued to touch his stomach and whispered.

After hearing this, Li Yaoguang, who has always claimed to be a foodie, couldn't help but have his eyes lit up. I could clearly see crystal saliva flashing on the corners of her lips, and it seemed that she was hungry.

"What do you mean is that horse meat can be eaten?" Li Yaoguang blinked his eyes and said in disbelief. "Didn't you hear that horse meat is poisonous?"

"That's because others fool you, so that everyone can't eat horse meat. Can't the cavalry in the court ride a donkey to march and fight? Besides, if horse meat is poisonous, is it so honest that no one will eat it? If you really eat horse meat and are poisoned to death, it will definitely be very popular. How could we not know?" The young master rolled his eyes and explained in disappointment. In later generations, horse meat is definitely a good dish, but it is different from donkey meat. It requires more magnification to be made.

However, for me, there is no problem at all. I brought a lot of things like star anise, peppercorns, sand kernels, cardamom, tangerine peel, even dogwood and fennel, because I like barbecue and delicacies. Moreover, I yearn for the scene of holding barbecue conferences after the leisurely hunting of war during ancient times.

Of course, these are all taken from TV. For this reason, I have prepared a lot of spices, so I naturally have to cook them well to taste them if I really hunt wild animals. The fishy smell of wild game has always been heavy, so these spices are essential.

Hearing my words, Li Yaoguang blinked his black almond eyes and nodded suddenly. "But I heard that the horse's liver is extremely poisonous and can kill people if they eat it."

I almost fell to the ground, turned around and looked at Li Yaoguang's pretty face and innocent and confused eyes. It took me a long time to hold back my smile. "The horse's liver is poisonous, and that's a joke compiled in the Records of the Grand Historian."

"Just? It's impossible. Many people say it, saying that they can't eat the horse's liver." Li Shimin next to him also came over and said with a curious look on his face.

This young master knew that this person was fooled by jokes in history books, just like later generations. At that time, I was fooled before I grew up. However, when I learned that there was horse meat rice noodles in Liuzhou, I was shocked and began to verify. Only then did I learn that horse meat can be eaten, and even horse liver can be eaten. However, in ancient times, horses were strategic materials of the country, so it was naturally impossible for people to slaughter and eat.

At that time, even cattle were prohibited from slaughtering. As for saying that horse liver was poisonous, it was just a joke recorded in ancient times. However, after it was passed down, rumors spread and eventually turned into the saying that horse liver was poisonous and horse meat was poisonous.

This joke comes from the record of the Grand Historian. A guest said that the horse's liver is so vicious that it can kill people. Emperor Wu of Han said: "Wencheng died after eating the horse's liver." Duke Yu heard it and laughed and said: "The guest lies and talks about his ears. The liver is in the belly of the horse, why doesn't the horse die?" The guest said: "The horse has no life for a hundred years, because it has a liver."

When Gong Dadi realized that if he had a horse in his family, he would snatch his liver and the horse would die immediately. Gong threw a knife and sighed, "How can you believe that the poison can't be alive, let alone the liver is left?"

Everyone laughed so much that they lay down with exaggerated laughter, and even Li Yaoguang was so angry that he laughed. "It's so funny. I didn't expect this guy to fool us."

"It seems that our thoughts are exactly the same as those of Mr. Yu, haha." Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh again.

After a long time, I got together. When I heard from this young master that the horse meat was stewed and it felt like it was put into the cake. Li Shimin's saliva almost dripped. "Isn't that the pork we ate last time we were guarding the city, and the heat-burning pork we ate?"

I nodded and replied, "It's almost the same, but the pork is too greasy, so it will get greasy if you eat too much. The horse meat is lean and the meat tastes unique..."

Next, in my defensive position, hundreds of troops had already crossed the carriage and were dividing the horse corpses there and throwing them over. As for the corpses of the Turks, they had no time to take care of them. The large pieces of horse meat that were thrown over were all dragged away, and the big pot that had been laid there was boiling water.

The time for stewing horse meat is quite long, so now, I can only take some compressed cakes to satisfy my hunger. In a short while, at least hundreds of horses' horse meat was cut and sent to the cooking camp where my master's army was located, which made others amazed.

However, we can't eat so much, so we will naturally use it to build relationships and enhance the relationship between the various departments. Anyway, there are at least hundreds of dead horses outside, and they are being transported in one after another.

At this time, Master Yang rushed over and asked us to go to the Daying to meet up and discuss what to do next.

Sitting in the temporary tent, a large number of young heroes from the Great Sui Dynasty were all frowning. Today's battle was indeed won, and the Turkic cavalry of about 1,800 cavalry were wiped out.

However, we also suffered nearly 700 casualties. Only when the Turkic cavalry broke through, nearly 400 people were killed in battle, and the gap was blocked. This was still defense, relying on the defense circle formed by the carriage, but the losses were not small.

"How should we go now? It is definitely not possible to advance. The three camps of the Turkic thieves are not far apart. If one of them is attacked, the other two camps will definitely be able to rescue them in time. Now, all the cavalry of our troops have gathered together, and there are only more than 3,500 cavalry. Even if General Yun can cooperate with us inside and outside, they will only have more than 8,000 cavalry. With more than 8,000 cavalry, they want to fight against 70,000 Turkic cavalry, haha..." General Zhao Gan, the Zuo Tun Guard, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

At this moment, Yang Gongdao, who was sitting in the main seat, was also frowning. Although he won for a while, the problem was that it was already very difficult to repel the Turkic Spirit Cavalry. If he wanted to break into the city, it would be even more difficult.

This young master was also very troubled when he sat next to Yang Shidao. It was completely nonsense to want to fight against 70,000 cavalrymen. Unless it was later, they were all AK, and there was still a fight. But now, let alone AK, there were not even an old sleeve. Some were just two long-range weapons with very slow firing speeds, such as bows and crossbows.

"It's a pity that the Fen River is too deep. Otherwise, we can cross the river from here and then enter the city from the trest bridge on the east bank." The other person said unwillingly.

"The Fen River is at least half a distance wide. If you want to cross the river, you can only have enough ships. But now, we are trapped in this river bay, where can we find a ship?"

There were many discussions, and I am now thinking hard and fighting alone? It is impossible. That is completely a way to seek death. Even if it is a group fight, it is definitely not an opponent, and I can only rely on Fenhe to defend.

But the question is, how long will it take to defend? What if these 70,000 Turkic cavalry are sincerely consuming this with us? If it is exhausted, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, our goal is to rescue the emperor. Now, restraining a part of the Turkic troops is equivalent to reducing the pressure in the Yanmen Pass area. In other words, it has been considered a contribution.
