Chapter 172 The general’s dining standards! Huo Guang troubles Li Guang
In the camp, old General Li Guang had just returned from training his 5,000-man cavalry army in the school field, and sat down on a high chair that should not have appeared in this era.
In the Han Dynasty, everyone sat on the ground.
If possible, some things will be spread and the cushions will be soft. Of course, if you need to sit on the floor for a long time, such as when discussing something, there will also be short stools that are convenient for kneeling.
As for the high chair?
This should have started to appear at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
As a result, it came out early because of Huo Guang.
At this moment, Li Guang was used to sitting on a high chair at home. No, he even wanted to bring one of these chairs to his tent.
"Tsk, tsk, sitting on this high chair is more comfortable than sitting on your knees." Li Guang sighed casually.
His adjutant asked with a smile: "This kind of chair is really comfortable to sit on. I also bought a lot of similar things at home this year. The carpenter Li Hong seems to be a bit powerful and can make these things."
Most people in Chang'an City are unaware of these novel furniture, whose designs came from Huo Guang.
They just know.
These things were all made by Li Carpenter in the carpentry shop.
After Li Guang heard what the adjutant said, he immediately nodded and said: "He has some skills, but unfortunately, this Li Carpenter is also a person who cannot understand the current situation clearly."
"You are so capable that you actually hired that guy Huo Guang."
"It's so stupid."
"Hey, by the way, speaking of Huo Guang, this guy wanted to mobilize troops from our army to form a school of troops two days ago. I told you not to give him troops, so you didn't give them to him, right?"
The thousand-man army of the Han Dynasty was called a tribe.
The equivalent of the department is the battalion and the school.
A battalion, a department, or a school each has one thousand people. If the number reaches five thousand, it is an army, and its commander is a general just like Li Guang at this moment.
so.
As a captain, Huo Guang's official position in the Han Dynasty army was one level lower than that of Li Guang.
When the deputy general heard what Li Guang said, he immediately said: "General, please don't worry, I will not let him go without your order!"
Hear the words.
Li Guang's old face suddenly showed a smile and said: "Well done."
"I won't send troops to that boy!"
"I wonder where that boy can get a thousand cavalry. I really don't know what your Majesty thinks. If such a young boy becomes a captain, is it possible that he can be like his elder brother?"
When the deputy general heard this, he also smiled in agreement without saying much.
He was just Li Guang's lieutenant. He didn't dare to judge someone like Champion Hou who was famous in front of the Han Emperor.
The two chatted for some time.
At this moment.
The lieutenant's stomach growled.
After Li Guang heard this, he laughed and said: "It's dinner time too, Lieutenant General Wu, how about eating with me?"
The man called Vice General Wu should have nodded and said: "Okay, I will listen to what the general says."
soon.
The food was brought out and placed on the dining table.
It was just Vice General Wu and Old General Li Guang who stared at the food closely and did not use their chopsticks for a long time.
at last.
It was old General Li Guang who spoke first: "Vice General Wu, if I read it correctly, are these soybeans?"
Lieutenant General Wu also nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, General, look at this, why does it seem like there is wheat with bran in it?"
Li Guang heard the words.
He immediately became furious and said, "Wheat bran, isn't that food for pigs?"
"Is such that."
Lieutenant General Wu nodded and replied.
This time.
Li Guang couldn't sit still any longer, and quickly called out the cook soldiers who were cooking in the military camp.
As soon as the cook entered the camp.
Li Guang smashed the bowl of food over and asked loudly: "Is this food for people to eat or for pigs?"
Awed by the majesty of the old general, the chef did not dare to speak at this moment and could only stand there shivering.
Old General Li Guang continued: "The general's dining system clearly states that four dishes and one soup are required, and four dishes include two meat and two vegetarian dishes. Can you tell me, what are these?"
Questioned by the old general.
The cook replied tremblingly: "Old General, today's meal was originally the same as usual, but Lieutenant Huo told us that General Li always advocated sharing the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, so he specially asked us to prepare ordinary meals for you.
Food for soldiers."
When Li Guang heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "Colonel Huo, which Colonel Huo?"
"That's Huo Guang, the champion brother-in-law!" the chefs said.
Old General Li Guang was already angry, but when he heard the word "Huo Guang", he couldn't help it.
It's good that I didn't cause trouble for this little thing.
Unexpectedly, the other party turned on me.
You must know that General Wei Qing is not in the military camp now, so all military affairs in the Nanda Camp are controlled by veteran generals like Li Guang.
For a while.
Everyone in the South Camp wanted to see the faces of these old generals.
But because he had no reason, Li Guang couldn't directly punish Huo Guang.
This is better!
I finally have a reason to repair this little thing, how can I let it go?
Dang Ji said to the adjutant: "Lieutenant Wu, go and bring Captain Huo to me."
Lieutenant General Wu immediately raised his hands and said: "General, I will obey your order!"
Later.
The five lieutenants left the camp.
Although the South Camp was very large, calling Huo Guang, who was also in the military camp, did not waste much time.
When Huo Guang walked into the camp, he immediately saw old General Li Guang sitting on a chair.
At this moment, Li Guang's eyes were full of anger. When he saw Huo Guang coming in, he asked directly: "Captain Huo, why did you change my general's food without authorization!"
Huo Guang frowned slightly and said, "Old General, isn't it what you always stand for, sharing weal and woe with the soldiers?"
"I have always respected the old general!"
"I was deeply saddened to hear recently that the general's food was different from that of the soldiers. I thought that as an old general, he must not do double-promotion. He said that he wanted to share the joys and sorrows, but in private he only enjoyed preferential treatment."
"Since General Li can't do such a thing."
"Then there's only one situation."
"It must be this little cook who deliberately destroyed the old general's amiable image in the hearts of the soldiers."
"Otherwise, how could the old general do such a thing!"
What Huo Guang said was well-founded. After all, Li Guang's image in the army focused on sharing the joys and sorrows with the soldiers.
and!
He rarely restrained his soldiers. As a result, most of his soldiers were loose and slack. When they finally went to the battlefield, they either got lost or were completely wiped out.
This situation.
It was witnessed by everyone, and it was not made up by Huo Guang.
When Li Guang heard this, he immediately scolded: "It's my business to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, what does it have to do with you?"
Li Guang at this moment!
Not to mention getting too angry.
However, Huo Guang hummed and said: "It really has nothing to do with me. It was the boy who made a mistake. The old general should have eaten whatever he was willing to eat!"
As soon as Huo Guang said these words.
Li Guang's eyes suddenly widened, thinking that this kid has changed his temper?
He actually started apologizing before even saying a few words!
This is so strange.
While Li Guang was curious, Huo Guang paused for a while and continued: "Old General's eating has nothing to do with me. In the same way, my troop deployment has nothing to do with Old General."
"The boy wants to ask."
"Why does the old general block my troops?"
After hearing what Huo Guang said, Li Guang understood instantly and said calmly: "So this is what happened?"
