    Although Li Yong killed the person, he shot him to death with an arrow from a distance, so he didn't feel anything strange. However, he watched helplessly as Liu Shichang took the other person's body as if he was handling an animal.  He fiddled with it, and the severed neck was turned around in front of his eyes. The muscles on the flat and bloody wound were turned, and it looked like the meat he usually eats was no different. Seeing this, Li Min could no longer  Unable to bear it any longer, I spat out "Wow~".

    Seeing Li Yong's performance, Liu Shichang smiled. He did it on purpose. From the moment they met, he could tell that the other party was a new recruit who had never been on the battlefield, so he pulled him to help him deal with it.  Corpse, I want Li Yong to get used to it so that his legs won't get weak when he goes to the battlefield in the future.  .

    After removing all the useful things from the body, Liu Shichang shouted to Li Yong who was still retching: "Brother Li, have you finished vomiting? Come and help cook after vomiting. Today is the last can of braised pork."  , if you come late, you¡¯ll be gone!¡±

    Li Yong had almost vomited, but when he heard the word "braised pork", the red and oily fat immediately flashed in front of his eyes. It felt so similar to the meat on the neck of the dead body just now.  Thinking of this, my stomach churns again, and a stream of acidic water spurts out again.

    When other people saw Li Yong's performance, they were laughing non-stop, especially the recruits, who had gloating expressions on their faces. Although they were also like this in the past few months, it did not hinder them.  Make fun of others.

    As a child of a noble family, he grew up in fine clothes and fine food.  Although he spent the last year among the veterans in Prince Qi's Mansion, he had developed all the basic qualities.  But this is the first time to face a dead body, so nausea and vomiting are also normal psychological reactions.  Until Li Yong vomited everything he could.  Then, supported by Liu Shichang, he weakly walked to the fire and sat down.

    "Brother, you feel better now. Drink some hot water. Next time you kill a few more people, you won't feel anything at all!" Erdanzi filled a pot of freshly boiled hot water.  Then he handed it to Li Yong and said.

    Li Yong didn¡¯t have the energy to be polite, so he took it and drank it in small sips. As the hot water entered his stomach, he felt much better.  For Liu Shichang's kindness.  Li Yong naturally understood. In addition, he had been in the army for a year, and brothers often made jokes that were either kind or malicious. He knew that this was the way soldiers expressed their feelings, and that others could make fun of him.  This kind of joke shows that he has been completely accepted and no longer treats him as an outsider, so he is very happy in his heart.

    Liu Shichang and the others are scouts, and they are all about moving forward lightly and attacking the enemy whenever they can.  They run away if they can't fight, so it's naturally impossible to bring cooking utensils such as pots, but this is not a problem for them at all. Just wipe the helmet on their head clean with snow, and it will be a good pot. Put it on the fire to boil the snow water.  After opening it, Erdanzi took out several bamboo tubes from his horse, pounded them with a horizontal knife, and poured out a pile of braised meat cubes that had frozen to stone.

    Although Li Yong feels sick just looking at meat.  But there was really nothing to vomit in his stomach, and he looked at the meat and felt that it was very familiar, so he asked: "Brother, why does this meat look so like a can?"

    "What do you mean, it's just a canned food." Erdanzi said with a greedy look on his face.

    "Aren't cans all glass bottles? How come they turned into bamboo tubes?" Li Yong asked with a puzzled look on his face.

    "Don't mention it, it's because of an order from above!" After hearing Li Min's question, the old dog who was busy next to him also said.

    "What order?"

    At this time, Liu Shichang replied: "That's right, because glass bottles are more expensive, and glass bottles can be recycled after eating cans. Therefore, we are ordered by the superiors to throw away the bottles after eating the cans we bring out.  Take it back and hand it in. Even if it is broken, you must take the pieces back. If it is a large army, it is fine. Anyway, there is a special baggage team, so bottles and other things are not a big problem, but small scouts like us naturally have to pack lightly.  It was quite cumbersome to carry these glass cans with us when we went into battle, but we were not allowed to throw them away after eating. So we had no choice but to come up with a way. When we came out, we poured out all the food in the cans and put them into bamboo tubes.  , so you don¡¯t have to worry about breaking it, and secondly, you can throw away the bamboo tube after eating. In addition, with the current weather, you don¡¯t have to worry about it being damaged, so many people in the army are doing this now.¡±

    After listening to Liu Shichang's explanation, Li Yong nodded. He once heard Li Min say that cans were originally invented to solve the problem of food preservation, but because the glass is fragile, it is not suitable for use as an individual soldier.  Food, unless other materials are used instead of glass.

    Erdanzi poured all the braised pork into a helmet. As the fire heated up, an alluring fragrance soon emerged. Although Li Yong still felt a little nauseous, he was much better now. At this time, others also  Take out the dough, bake it on the fire, or chop it into pieces, and prepare to throw it into hot water to turn into batter and drink it.

    ?When Li Yong saw this, he hurriedly stopped everyone, stood up and took out two 'bricks' from his horse. Erdanzi ran up and grabbed one and smelled it. He found that there was a smell of food, so he opened his mouth to take a bite.  Taste, but after taking this bite, I bit off a small piece, but my teeth were also sore from the pain.

    Seeing Erdanzi¡¯s actions, Li Yong burst out laughing. When he vomited just now, he was laughing so hard, and now it was finally his turn to laugh.  Others were also a little curious and ran over to take the bricks to study, but after looking at them for a long time, they couldn't see what they were made of.

    Li Yong took the brick from Erdanzi and smashed it with the handle of the knife more than a dozen times, finally breaking it into several pieces. The other one was also smashed by the old dog, and then he divided it into several piles and threw them into the iron helmet to cook.  , after a while, an indescribable smell wafted out, and the water in the iron helmet turned into a yellow-white soup.

    "Come on, come on, let's have a taste. This is the special military ration newly sent to the South Route Army from Dengzhou. It's called Qianjin Pancake. One piece is enough for one person to eat for two days. The only drawback is that it is too hard, but with  The water will boil as soon as it is soaked, and the taste will be better with hot water!" Li Yong was bragging. He only ate this food once on the road, and after he felt it didn't taste good, he never ate it again.

    Hearing that this was special military rations given to the South Route Army by Dengzhou, Liu Shichang and others were all excited. The two armies of the South and West had joined forces, but the logistics were still supplied by two places. Of course, the South Route Army was mainly supplied by Dengzhou.  , while the West Route Army is supplied by Yingzhou and other places. However, compared with the sufficient supply of the South Route Army, the West Route Army is a bit miserable. There are many restrictions on land transportation, and Yingzhou and other places do not  Wealthy, so we can transport the rear even if it is desperate, but the supplies of the West Route Army are still tight.

    Take cans as an example. The South Route Army distributes cans on a per-person basis. Each person can get a bottle of cans in three days, while the West Route Army distributes cans based on military merit. The number of cans can be exchanged for the number of military merits. Scouts like Liu Shichang and others also  Well, although it is dangerous, you can achieve some military merits from time to time, so you have never been short of meat. However, some second-line troops have been miserable. They have not received many military merits since the war started. Now they are almost vegetarian monks.

    And compared to the abundant supplies of the South Route Army, the food of the West Route Army is also much poorer. Last time they met the scouts of the South Route Army. When they ate together, they saw their food. Although the staple food was also noodles.  , but at least it is made of white flour, and canned fish and other foods are freely available.  But here I can only eat bread, let alone the envy.

    Precisely because of this, Liu Shichang and the others were very excited when they heard that this was military rations for the Southern Route Army and wanted to taste the difference. So when they saw that it was cooked, they immediately grabbed a helmet and drank it.

    However, the soup of Qian Jin Pancake does have a bit of a strange taste. Erdanzi, the greediest person, did not bother to boil it and took a big sip first. As a result, he was hit by the strange smell and frowned for a long time before swallowing it. Liu Shichang and the others also  They were almost the same. Fortunately, the Yingzhou they were stationed in was not far from the sea, and they could occasionally eat seafood, so they were able to adapt to the fishy smell.

    Li Yong didn't care about others. He had vomited his stomach just now, and now he had recovered. He was very hungry, so he drank the soup in big gulps, and at the same time tore up a few pieces of noodles and soaked them in. This was also his first time.  It was discovered for the first time that the soup of Qianjin Pancake was actually quite delicious, but he only drank the soup and noodle pancakes, but he didn't taste the braised pork. After all, he was still mentally weak and it would not be possible for him to adjust in a short time.

    The others saw that Li Yong was eating very well, so they tried to drink a few more sips. After getting used to it, they found that it was not as bad as before. They all became excited, eating noodles and drinking soup, and at the same time chatting with Li Yong.  Others are scrambling for the braised pork.

    In just a few minutes, they had eaten up everything. Then they all cleaned up together, searched the Goguryeo soldiers again, threw all the trophies they could find onto the extra horses, and turned the horses' heads.  Return to Zhang Jian's camp.

    Li Yong naturally went with them, because Liu Shichang told him that King Jiangxia was now stationed at the foot of Anshi City, while Zhang Jian's army was stationed in a small town on Li Daozong's right wing, so Li Yong could go back with them first,  Then he went to Anshi City with the team that was given to him. After all, Anshi City was still a battlefield, and there were countless small-scale contact battles. It would be too dangerous for Li Yong to go alone.

    While Li Yong traveled thousands of miles to find Li Daozong, a conspiracy was also brewing in Pyongyang City, Goguryeo. In the main hall of Yeon Gaesumun's mansion, in addition to the three brothers of the Yeon family, there were also several military generals with real power sitting there.  , in order to solve Goguryeo's current predicament, they had just had a fierce quarrel, and finally came up with a theoretically feasible plan proposed by Yuan Jingtu, and this plan was also related to Li Min.

    But I want to complete itThis plan requires them to take a risk. If this plan succeeds, they can at least retain their current territory. If it fails, it will only arouse greater anger from the Tang Dynasty. I'm afraid what will happen to them by then?  More miserable than anyone else.
