Tang's dining table

As long as he is not involved in the war, Yun Chu is still a very easy to talk to.

Whether Hei Te Changzhi, Sha Zha Xiangru, or Gao Wen, they all can clearly discover this - Yun Chu has never been the kind of person who crosses rivers and demolishes bridges, or unloads mills and kills donkeys.

Even the three Wang brothers felt the great personality charm in Yun Chu.

Because Yunchu did not treat each of them badly just because the war between the three Koreas was over.

With black teeth, Sha Zha Xiangru's military exploits were written clearly and plainly by Yun Chu, and he personally sent them to the marching Sima of the Chinese army.

Gao Wen surrendered in Dahang City, worked hard to prepare food and supplies for the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses, and showed special performance in capturing King Gaozang. Yun Chu also wrote it clearly and handed it to the marching commander Shi. On hand.

The three brothers of the Wang family organized slave soldiers in Liaodong and provided great help to Yunchu's army. They also proposed that the three brothers of the Wang family should be eliminated from their humble status and the whole family should be allowed to move to Chang'an.

The above things were all done by Yun Chu openly and honestly.

There are also some unknown things that Wen Wen did in private. For this reason, the property of Gawain and the three Wang brothers shrank by more than 80%.

Therefore, on Ban Shi's way back to the court, these people respected Yun Chu very much, but inevitably felt resentful towards Wen Wen.

In August, it was rainy again in Liaodong, and the roads were muddy and difficult to navigate. Fortunately, it was the victory team. Everyone was eager to go home as soon as possible. No matter how difficult the road was, it didn't matter at this time.

When they crossed the Liao River, Cheng Minzhen stayed behind. He became the Grand Governor of the Yingzhou Governor's Mansion in Datang. It was a very good official position, but one level lower than his father's official position.

The reason why he was retained was because the emperor had told him to collect the chaotic people in Liaodong within three years. not much hope.

Excluding the 12,000 men and horses in Cheng Mingzhen's hands, the longest army was Yun Chu's army.

The reason why his team was long was not because there were many people, but because he carried too many things. A team of four thousand people dragged a full five miles from beginning to end.

There is nothing we can do about it. The good things everyone got in Baekje, Silla, Goguryeo, and Dahangcheng naturally have to be brought back.

For these things, the soldiers of Wannian County would rather use their bodies to pave the way for these carriages and horses than throw away these good things that they sacrificed their lives for on the road.

Just when Yunchu's army passed Yanzhou, Li Ji fell ill. He had no choice but to take the commander to Yunchu's army to recuperate, and asked Lao He to take a group of imperial doctors to take a good look at him.

In fact, Li Ji took no other medicine except drinking some ginseng soup stewed by Lao He when he had nothing to do.

Especially after discovering the poker games played by Yun Chu, Wen Wen, Gao Wen and Zhong Kui, I immediately became addicted to it.

With this thing, the long journey home doesn't seem so long and boring.

"You seem to look down on this battle we are fighting."

Li Ji threw out a card and said nonchalantly.

Yun Chu said: "No, if I look down on this battle, then I can't even look down on myself. Therefore, what Ying Gong said does not hold true."

"Since you like me, why do you always act weak? With your ability, you should have behaved better.

Tell me, what kind of battle do you like? "

Yun Chu looked at Li Ji's snow-white beard and hair, thought for a moment and said, "I like the battles that Yinggong fought in the past."

"You mean those battles I fought with Emperor Taizong?"

"Yes, the world is in turmoil, heroes are vying for deer, and wolf smoke is everywhere. The people are born among tigers, leopards, and wolves. A man with a three-foot sword gathers like-minded heroes to save the people from hanging upside down and relieve the world from dire straits.

Cut off the heads of powerful men, take away the lives of traitors, straighten the topsy-turvy world, sweep away the dust in the sky, cut the Kunlun Snow Mountain, and let the whole world become cold and hot.

I wish I could have been born fifty years earlier and fight with the British. "

Li Jidao: "That's right, but I didn't have such thoughts as you back then. I just wanted to find a job and make a bowl of Ansheng rice.

Emperor Taizong may have such ambitions, but I don't have them. I really don't have them at all. "

Yun Chu said: "But, you participated."

Yun Chu's words seemed to arouse Li Ji's mood. He dropped the cards in his hand and sighed: "I heard that you are not going to take credit this time?"

Yun Chu said: "I can't lose a single point that should be mine, and I don't want a single point that shouldn't be mine."

Li Ji sighed and said: "Yes, yes, you have a million coins as a foundation. Even if you lose all the other military achievements in attacking cities and villages, you are still the most meritorious person in my Eastern Expedition army.

It really seems that you are the first candidate to be appointed as the Grand Protector of the Anton Protectorate. "

"Is Mr. Ying blaming me for not reporting the matter of the million to the Chinese army camp?"

Li Ji waved his hand and said, "You don't want to cause trouble to me. I understand this, but do others understand?"

Yunchu laughed and said: "My name is Chu, and my courtesy name is Yuchu. Of course, I have to do something that no one has ever done before to be worthy of my name.

One million Guan is placed in the Chinese army, and everyone is planning how much they can get from it. I'm afraid they won't have the heart to fight, right?

A group of demons and monsters, a group of greedy people. As long as their eyes are covered by copper coins, there is probably nothing they dare not do in this world, right?

The Tang Dynasty court invested hundreds of millions and ordered us to put down the threat from the east. For such a major military and national event, we should think more about how to kill the enemy and less about the gains and losses of money and beauties. "

"A monster with a greed for profit? These words made Qibi Heli, Gao Kan, Pang Tongshan and the others so sad when they heard them.

I don’t understand since when did the generals in the army allow you to hold grudges like this? "

Yunchu sighed and said, "I don't like the current army, I really don't like it at all."

Li Ji said seriously: "If you are not satisfied, then go ahead and reform them. If you don't like them, then reshape them according to your preferences. You should never, never give up on them. This is a disservice to our Datang Army." It is an injustice, and at the same time, it is also a humiliation to our Datang army.

It's a waste of your talents. "

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "The army of the Tang Dynasty is an important weapon of the Tang Dynasty. How can it be overthrown and rebuilt just because of one person's preferences?

This is your Majesty's responsibility, and it is also your responsibility as the Minister of Military Affairs, not my Wannian County Magistrate's responsibility.

It is the limit of my ability to cover Chang'an with gold foil and make it a city of light and wealth in my lifetime. However, I think I cannot bear the heavy responsibility given by the British Duke. "

Li Ji smiled bitterly and said: "In less than thirty years, the army will fall apart. There are many people who have seen this, and you are not the only one.

If the emperor doesn't care, the government soldiers will definitely be worried about becoming private soldiers.

If you don't care, I can tell you that you will spend the rest of your life fighting endless battles with your own people fighting your own people. "

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "With the current power of the Tang Dynasty, peace can be guaranteed for fifty years.

Fifty years later, when I am your current age, what else can I do? "

Li Ji thought about what he would look like fifty years later, and then sighed: "That's right, by then my bones can be used as drumsticks.

Come on, let's continue playing cards. "

Wen Wen and Zhong Kui, who had been pretending not to exist, immediately came to life and were busy shuffling and grabbing cards. To be honest, they really liked this card game.

After entering September, the weather in Chang'an is getting colder day by day. The cotton in Bashang has been picked, so the persimmons on the persimmon trees have turned red. The persimmons produced here are Chang'an's famous "Fire Crystal Persimmons" .

Originally, the persimmons from Lintong near Chang'an were the best. Since Hucao from Wannian County began to promote the specialty of Wannian County, the best persimmons from Chang'an have become the persimmons from Bashang.

So much so that even Lintong's persimmons now have to be sold under the name of Bashang Fire Crystal Persimmons to get a good price.

The secret to making this food delicious is that it must be beaten by frost. Persimmons that have been beaten by frost can be as sweet as honey and not astringent.

When the time comes, insert a piece of wheat straw into the persimmon, and with one sip, you can suck the whole persimmon pulp into your mouth. However, you still have to be careful, and you must not let the persimmon core block the wheat straw, otherwise it will It cannot achieve the bold effect of sucking it clean in one sip.

When people from Guanzhong suck the fire crystal persimmon, they pay attention to absorbing it all in one mouthful and then use the second mouthful. Those who are generally not from Guanzhong are not from Guanzhong.

Wannian County's number one specialty is cotton. Although there is very little land in Wannian County, everyone believes that only Wannian County's cotton can make the best quilts and mattresses, not Chang'an County's.

As for the cotton from other places, it is not bad, but it is not as warm and soft as the cotton from Wannian County.

The second specialty of Wannian County is the large dining hall. If any outsider who comes to Chang'an does not go to the large dining hall, basically, this trip to Chang'an is in vain. If you have the opportunity to participate in Jinchangfang on August 10, Wuyouyuan, this trip to Chang'an is a profit.

If you have the opportunity to participate in the Shangyuan Festival in Jinchangfang, that would be great. I guarantee that you will not lack things to talk about in your life.

Another specialty of Wannian County is Wannian wine. It seemed to be called Xinfeng wine in the past. After 20 years of hard work, the Wannian County government finally successfully turned this wine into a specialty of Wannian County. This wine It has many characteristics, the most talked about one of which is that this wine is suitable for heavy drinking.

Many Chang'an youths often hold the reins of war horses in one hand and hold up a large bowl in the other. They drink seven or eight bowls in one go, smash the bowls to pieces boldly, and then roar loudly before riding back. This is called He is a young hero.

Naha was wearing a red lambskin coat, and the pure white wool was exposed from the collar and cuffs, making her little face look pink.

She was looking up at the persimmons on the tree. There was an early frost last night, and she didn't know if the persimmons could be eaten.
