One of the passers-by

The scout who sent the military intelligence report did not come back alone, he also brought back a waiter dressed in green and short brown.

The waiter claimed to be a servant of Chen Junmu, the governor of Jingzhou, and came to Youzhou to deliver a letter on the order of the patriarch.

The king of Yanjun was rebellious and turned against Jingzhou. The governor Chen Junmu knew that his crime was unforgivable, so he could only pretend to be a snake, and searched for an opportunity to send his confidants to Youzhou for help.Unexpectedly, on the way, they met the scouts sent by Wei Ziqi. Seeing the waiter's whereabouts in a sneaky way, the scouts became suspicious, so they arrested the waiter and tortured him.

The waiter had no choice but to tell everything, and handed over the secret letter of the governor Chen Junmu as a guarantee.

The matter is very important, the scout immediately sent someone to escort the waiter back to the camp, and asked the marshal to make a decision.

After receiving the secret report from the Governor of Jingzhou, Yan Junji, the general manager of the Hebei Road Army, immediately sent someone to invite the generals of the fifth rank and above in the camp to the tent.Because in this secret letter, the governor of Jingzhou not only clearly stated the exact time when the king of Yan County reorganized his troops and horses to attack Youzhou, but also clearly stated that although he was trapped in the enemy camp, he still cared about the court and made contributions to the crime. The confidant general Liang Ji will only bring the king of Yan County to attack Youzhou tomorrow. He and Liang Ji will turn against each other.

After passing the secret letters of the governor of Jingzhou one by one, Wei Ziqi clasped his fists and said, "The matter of the military aircraft is of great importance, and one cannot trust its one-sided words. The subordinate officials believe that the soldiers still need to be prepared to stand up for battle."

As soon as Wei Ziqi finished speaking, Jiang Han also said, "Xiaguan agrees with General Wei's words. I don't care if Liang Ji will turn against him. I'll make preparations first. When the time comes, the soldiers will come to cover the water and the earth. I have [-] troops in the Youzhou camp. , all of them are good men who came down from the battlefield, are you still afraid that he will fail as a traitor?"

Meng Gongliang was even more eager to try, and said: "Since the scouts have come to report that the Yan bandits are ready to attack our Youzhou, they have come from Jingzhou. They must be exhausted after traveling all the way. The idea of ​​attacking here early in the morning. Then why don't we seize the opportunity and sneak attack the Yan thief's place tonight, taking advantage of his unpreparedness?"

Not long after Da Chu established his country, his martial arts was at its peak.Before the new emperor came to the throne, he was His Majesty's most trusted general, and most of the old officials in the hidden residence were military generals, so they favored martial arts even more.The emperor is like this, and the imperial court and border soldiers are even more delighted when they hear the battle.

Anyway, there are battles to fight, and those who can’t die will naturally get promoted and get rich.

This is the thinking of the soldiers of the lower ranks. For the generals, only by fighting can they be promoted quickly. At that time, they will shine on their lintels, restore their ancestral property, become generals and prime ministers, and become kings and marquises. Who doesn’t want to leave a name in history?

So when I heard that the king of Yan County was attacking Youzhou, the soldiers not only did not panic, but were also happy.If it weren't for the imperial court's order, and the generals outside have no order to mobilize troops, they would have encouraged Yan Jun to gather troops to attack Jingzhou.How can you allow the swallow thief to be arrogant these days.

Now that the king of Yanjun came to find something to do, they passively responded to the challenge. Wouldn't it be that they came to give pillows when they fell asleep?

Yan Junji saw that all the officers and soldiers were gearing up for the fight, and hoped that they would be full of enthusiasm for the battle, so he stopped talking.After pondering for a moment, he stood up and said sharply: "Marshal Order——"

When the generals heard the words, they immediately got up and waited solemnly.

Just listen to Yan Junji's order: "Xu You and Zhang Xian led [-] troops to stay in Youzhou. Wei Qi, Jiang Han, and Meng Gongliang each selected [-] cavalry, and I rushed to the Yan Bandit camp at night."

When the generals heard the words, they immediately clasped their fists and said, "Obey."

Not to mention how the generals negotiated to attack King Yan at night, and said that Huotouying immediately prepared [-] soldiers and horses to attack the rations needed for three days, and immediately hit the back of the head in a hurry, and didn't have the heart to ask Xue Yan for advice. How to whiten brown sugar.

Xue Yan saw that the soldiers were sad and regretful, and it was quite funny, so he agreed that everyone could come and have a try when they were free.Later, I watched the soldiers prepare rations for the frontline soldiers in the camp. I saw that most of them were dry dough balls, which were weathered and lacked water until they fell to the ground. I wish I could hear the sound when they fell on the ground. The taste can be imagined .

On the contrary, the grain and grass for horses looks much fatter.

Xue Yan shook his head sighingly, went outside to buy a few catties of good pork belly, then went back to the stove, rolled up his arms and sleeves, made a large iron pot of braised pork, stewed it into minced meat, and then washed the minced meat Store in a clean jar.Afterwards, without brushing the pot, a few catties of dough were evenly distributed from the stove next to the dry food preparation, and they were patted into dough cakes the size of a copper mirror and baked directly in the pot.Then make a slit in the middle of the cake, and stuff the minced pork in braised pork into the middle of the cake, just like Roujiamo.

At the time of the sunset, there was smoke everywhere inside and outside the city of Youzhou, all the soldiers smelled the strong aroma of braised pork, and all of them felt thunderous belly groans for a while.

Xue Yan felt sore after making a few "roujiamo", so he waved his hand and called to the soldiers beside him, "Get ready for ten people, if there is any leftover, you can eat it."

While talking, I heard Jiang Han's rough voice shouting: "It smells delicious, what delicious food did Xue Xiaolang make?"

One side said that Xue Yan, who was dressed in bright armor, entered the camp, went straight to the stove, picked up the meat-wrapped bread and stuffed it in. While eating the bread, he said vaguely: "In I stayed in the handsome tent for an afternoon, and I was already hungry. I knew that Mr. Xue Xiaolang must have delicious food here."

After a pause, he continued: "I didn't expect this pork to be delicious even when it's cooked. It's more fatty and fragrant than beef and mutton."

Seeing Jiang Han who was devouring him, Xue Yan chuckled, turned to Wei Ziqi and said, "I learned that the generals are going to lead troops to attack at night, and a certain person is too weak to be successful in the battle, so I have to think of some heresy ways to share the worries of the generals. "

After finishing speaking, he pointed to the meat-stuffed noodle cake on the stove and said, "This is the meat cake I just made. It tastes good. You generals can eat it when you are hungry. If you roast it over a fire, Tastes better."

Before saying a word, Jiang Han, who was full of oil, nodded repeatedly and said: "It tastes good, it tastes good, it's much better than the pot-packed meat in the morning."

As a big Shandong man, Jiang Han's taste is similar to that of the northern men that Xue Yan saw later, he likes spicy and spicy food, and he has nothing to do with sweet and sour dishes.

Although Meng Gongliang and Xu You on the side didn't speak, they ate cakes at a speed no slower than Jiang Han's.In the blink of an eye, Xue Yan ate all the cakes that Xue Yan had laboriously filled just now.

Wei Ziqi glanced quietly at the people in front of the stove, and thanked Xue Yan.Then he stared at Xue Yan with clear eyes.His eyes lingered between Xue Yan and Roubing.

Xue Yan waved his hand and said with a smile that there is no need. After thinking for a while, he realized that he quickly took a piece of meat pie and handed it to Wei Ziqi.

Wei Ziqi took the meat pie and asked, "Did you pour this pie yourself?"

Xue Yan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "No, they have already eaten the few cakes I poured. This is poured by the soldiers."

Hearing this, Wei Ziqi glanced at Jiang Han and the others, but he didn't speak, and he didn't eat the cake.

Suddenly, Xue Yan quickly picked up the freshly baked noodle cake and poured some braised pork mince.After thinking about it, he took out a few courgettes from the rattan basket under the cutting board and washed them, handed them to Wei Ziqi and said, "The meatloaf is greasy, eat a cucumber to remove the oil."

Wei Ziqi raised his eyebrows, and the fox asked, "Cucumber?"

Xue Yan came to his senses and changed his words casually: "Hugua."

Jiang Han asked harshly, "Why do you call pickles cucumbers? They are obviously green, so they should be called green melons."

Xue Yan rolled his eyes at Jiang Han, and said in his mouth: "Where are there so many why, let's eat your cake."

Jiang Han chuckled, but didn't take it seriously.

Xue Yan squatted aside, watching Wei Ziqi eat the cake silently, all he could think about was "the god is willing to eat the cake I poured", so he was satisfied.

Seeing Xue Yan's nympho look, Xu You felt a little sour in his heart.It feels like the son I raised is going to run away with others.He opened his mouth and said: "Yan'er only wants to feed Brother Ziqi with cakes, and ignores you, Brother Xu!"

Hearing this, Xue Yan came back to his senses.In a hurry, he filled a piece of cake and handed it to Xu You with both hands, with a cute and flattering smile on his face.When everyone saw this, they couldn't help laughing.

When Wei Ziqi ate the third piece of meat pie silently, everyone smelled "it smells good" and looked around, only to see Yan Junji, the head of the Hebei Road Marching, came with two generals, and said with a smile: " I have long heard that Mr. Xue Xiaolang is not only quick-witted, proficient in calculations, but also has unmatched cooking skills, causing most of the generals in our army to be unable to swallow the food in the camp. I heard it today, and it is indeed so!"

Yan Junji's words were humorous and humorous, and everyone laughed at the sound.Xue Yan curled the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, a little embarrassed that he borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, but was smashed by the flower owner in person.

Seeing that Yan Junji "comes after the taste", Xu You couldn't help but think of the sugar share that Xue Yan had promised.Just now the military situation was urgent, and he didn't have time to mention it to Yan Junji. Now that there are so many people talking about it, it's hard to mention it.

I had to look for another chance.

Not mentioning Xu You's thoughts, Yan Junji had already picked up the meatloaf on the stove with a smile and said: "The sage said, 'Food is the most important thing for the people', so it can be seen that eating is the most important thing in the world. Eat enough Alright, you will have the strength to win the battle when you are full. At that time, the captive Yan thief will return to the court, and I will ask for merit for all the soldiers. At the celebration banquet, we will not only eat a large piece of meat, but also drink heavily, drink good wine, and drink the rewards from Your Majesty Royal wine."

When all the officers and men heard the words, they responded with a bang.The atmosphere of confrontation became more and more intense for a while.Even the Huotou Battalion soldiers couldn't help but move a little faster in preparing dry food.

Xue Yan looked in admiration at Yan Junji, who was so unobtrusive and could mobilize everyone's emotions with just a few words. He only felt that this person was qualified for the post of general in ancient times, and would be a first-class marketing director in modern times.

This means of boosting morale is simply full level.
