Transmigrating into a Turbulent Era as a Soldier, Starting with Marrying a Wife

Li Yuan arrived at the central army tent.

The Dragon骧 Army's personal guards here now recognized this adjutant who had just been promoted by the Marquis.

So no one stopped him.

Moreover, one of the personal guards came over and told Li Yuan that meals were usually served in the rear tent.

Li Yuan arrived at the rear tent and, as expected, found a long table set up outside the tent.

On the table, the Dragon骧 Marquis's meal had already been prepared.

Li Yuan curiously looked at it, perhaps because they were currently on the front lines, the food was very simple.

There were four dishes on the table: two pickled vegetables, a plate of grilled meat, and a plate of preserved vegetables.

The staple food was a jar of white rice.

These meals were actually very ordinary, only slightly better than what the average soldier ate.

Li Yuan was praising the female Marquis's frugality.

At this moment, a personal guard responsible for the Marquis's meals walked over and said to Li Yuan.

"Adjutant Li, the Marquis has gone to inspect the grain and supplies, and it will be a while before she returns."

"When the Marquis left, she instructed that if Adjutant Li arrived, you could eat on your own first."

Li Yuan was taken aback, she actually wanted me to eat first, this female Marquis really didn't stand on ceremony.

He discovered that even with the bowl covered, the wind outside the tent was strong, and the food had already gone cold.

Li Yuan frowned. If the Marquis came back and ate cold food, and he had to accompany her, it didn't seem very good.

He looked around. Not far from the rear tent was a temporary kitchen, so he walked in.

Being on the front lines, a healthy stomach was crucial. Li Yuan didn't want to eat cold food, he wanted to find a pot to heat it up himself.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, he found several cooks responsible for the Dragon骧 Marquis's meals.

They knew that Li Yuan was someone close to the Marquis these days, so they didn't stop him from entering the kitchen.

They curiously watched Li Yuan, wondering what he was going to do.

Li Yuan found an iron pot, a few sections of scallions, a jar of vegetable oil, and a few eggs in the kitchen.

Seeing these things, Li Yuan was overjoyed. Instead of heating up the rice, he might as well use these ingredients to directly make the cold rice into fried rice.

Fried rice had existed since ancient times in Li Yuan's previous life.

However, after he crossed over to Great Liang, he didn't seem to have seen anyone make it.

Li Yuan turned around and asked the head cook.

"Do you know how to make fried rice?"

The cooks looked at each other, and all shook their heads, saying they didn't know.

Li Yuan could now confirm that for some reason in this time and space, fried rice, this simple delicacy, didn't seem to have appeared yet.

Li Yuan shook his head and smiled. Today, the ingredients were complete, so he decided to make a plate of fried rice himself.

In his previous life, Li Yuan had worked in a restaurant for half a year.

The restaurant's head chef had a good relationship with Li Yuan, and Li Yuan learned a lot of cooking skills from him.

At this time, the stove in the kitchen was burning well. He put a spoonful of vegetable oil into the iron pot, and as soon as it started to smoke slightly, he immediately cracked the eggs into it.

Then, he used an iron spoon to spread out the scrambled eggs, and a strong aroma instantly rose.

The cooks behind him stared at this Adjutant Li in disbelief.

They didn't expect that this Adjutant Li could actually cook, and was so skilled at it.

After the eggs were scrambled, he poured the slightly cold rice into the pot and carefully stir-fried it.

When it was almost cooked, Li Yuan sprinkled some salt and scallions for seasoning.

Before long, a jar of cold rice was transformed into a large plate of fried rice with excellent color, aroma, and taste. The aroma was extremely tempting.

Li Yuan was very satisfied. Not bad, he hadn't forgotten his skills.

After the fried rice was made, Li Yuan's cooking addiction seemed to have come up.

Seeing that there were plenty of ingredients here.

He casually made four more plates of stir-fried dishes, such as stir-fried pork, scrambled eggs, braised fish in soy sauce, stir-fried fresh vegetables, and a large bowl of bright egg drop soup.

It was just that there was a lack of seasonings in this army camp, so Li Yuan could only use a limited number of seasonings such as salt and bean paste to season the dishes.

Even so, the aroma produced by stir-frying was a crushing blow to the stewing and braising cooking methods of Great Liang.

After finishing the last soup, Li Yuan came out of the kitchen tent carrying the soup pot.

He saw Dragon骧 Marquis Bai Jing and her inseparable younger sister, each holding a pottery bowl, sharing the fried rice that Li Yuan had just made.

While eating large mouthfuls of fried rice, they also praised it.

"Mm, Sister, this is so delicious, try it."

"And this meat, how exactly is it made? Why have I never seen it before?"

Li Yuan came out of the kitchen tent carrying the soup and the two sisters who were eating were stunned.

They looked at Li Yuan, who was covered in cooking fumes, and asked with some confusion.

"Huh? Did Adjutant Li make all of these meals?"

Li Yuan took a look, good heavens, the large plate of fried rice he had just stir-fried was now almost empty.

Perhaps they had been busy all day, the female Marquis and her younger sister were really hungry, and they were eating very sweetly.

Seeing this situation, Li Yuan quickly placed the egg drop soup on the table, then cupped his fist in salute and replied.

"Reporting to the Marquis, I was poor since I was young, so I learned some cooking skills."

"I've made the Marquis laugh."

Bai Jing nodded indifferently.

"Adjutant Li's craftsmanship is not bad."

"It's actually more flavorful than the cooks in my Marquis's mansion."

"You must give them some pointers when you have time."

Li Yuan smiled wryly and could only cup his fist in agreement.

The Dragon骧 Marquis beckoned for Li Yuan to sit next to her and eat with her.

This was an honor bestowed by the female Marquis.

Li Yuan naturally couldn't be unappreciative.

He obediently sat down to eat.

Compared to Li Yuan's restraint, the female Marquis's posture while eating was much more casual.

She even praised Li Yuan's cooking skills while eating and chatting.

While eating and chatting, the female Marquis casually asked.

"Adjutant Li, you have outstanding strategies, what are your views on the current situation? You can tell me everything."

Li Yuan pondered for a moment.

The female Marquis wanted to hear his views on the battle situation, most likely she wanted Li Yuan to give her some confidence.

After all, Li Yuan could also feel that the female Marquis was currently carrying immense pressure like a mountain.

She really needed someone to help her relieve some of it.

So Li Yuan replied.

"As far as this humble officer knows, the Tiele people are brave and good at fighting."

"It is indeed not easy to defeat them."

"However, the Marquis does not need to worry too much."

"Although the Tiele people are fierce, they are just armed bandits who intend to rob."

"Their main purpose is to rush into the hinterland of Great Liang to plunder."

"So everyone will cherish their lives, after all, if they die, they won't be able to grab anything."

"And our Great Liang soldiers are protecting their homeland and guarding this Chishui River crossing, in order to protect their families behind them from the scourge of war."

"Therefore, as long as we mobilize properly, our Great Liang army will do its best to fight."

Li Yuan said this, of course, to reassure the Dragon骧 Marquis.

He found that this female Marquis was quite nervous now.

One mistake from her would determine the life and death of 30,000 soldiers, and this immense pressure was difficult for ordinary people to bear.

Especially a young woman who had just inherited the title of Marquis.

Li Yuan could feel that the Dragon骧 Marquis was just holding on.

Once Bai Jing couldn't bear this pressure, she might even have a mental breakdown.

But there was little Li Yuan could do for the female Marquis, and now he could only use words to comfort her as much as possible.

Sure enough, food was also a means of relieving stress. After eating a dinner together, the female Marquis's mood improved a lot.

Li Yuan's unique cooking methods also amazed the sisters.

Allowing these two female nobles, who were accustomed to stewed and braised cooking in Great Liang.

To experience the culinary impact of stir-fried dishes from later generations.

Li Yuan also found an opportunity to offer some suggestions.

For example, sending out the Dragon骧 personal guards to serve as military supervisors on the front lines and messengers to contact the various armies.

In order to grasp the situation on the battlefield at any time.

Also, sending soldiers to hold torches high at night to patrol and assigning people to guard various key points.

The Dragon骧 Marquis basically adopted Li Yuan's suggestions one by one.

Perhaps it was the hardship of marching.

The Tiele people did not act rashly that night, but just camped on the north bank to rest and recover their strength.

Nothing happened overnight.

The next morning, just after the entire army had finished breakfast.

The sound of the Tiele people's horns shook both banks of the Chishui River.

Immediately, the troops in the Tiele camp began to pour out.

It seemed that they didn't want to wait any longer, they wanted to break through the Great Liang army's south bank defense line in one fell swoop.

Last night, the Tiele light cavalry captured several Great Liang soldiers who were fetching water by the river.

After interrogation, they confirmed that the commander on the Great Liang side was the Dragon骧 Marquis.

The main force was 5,000 Dragon骧 troops, and they also learned that the main force of the Great Liang army was composed of soldiers from the four prefectures.

The Tiele people had been fighting with Great Liang for many years.

Naturally, they knew what kind of people the Liang country's soldiers were.

In the eyes of the Tiele people, the soldiers were no different from armed farmers.

They couldn't be considered true warriors at all, and they couldn't possibly stop the Tiele cavalry.

At this time, on the hillside on the north bank.

The Tiele Grand Commander Sangdu stood arrogantly, leading several ten-thousand commanders and a dozen thousand commanders, supervising the army to look south.

Looking at the defense line built by the Great Liang army on the rocky mountains, he revealed a disdainful smile.

Sangdu drew his scimitar and pointed it forward forcefully.

Immediately, the horns of the Tiele army rang out continuously.

The Tiele army's thousands of vanguard camps began to wade across the river.
