Chapter 57 Scout Team (Part 2)

Although Li Yong killed the man, he shot the other party to death with an arrow in the distance, so he didn't feel anything unusual. However, when he watched Liu Shi as if he was dealing with a livestock, he fiddled with the other party's body, and his broken neck also turned around in front of him. The muscles on the flat and bloody wound on it turned out to look no different from the meat he usually eats. Seeing this, Li Yan couldn't help it anymore and vomited out with a 'wow~'.

Seeing Li Yong's performance, Liu Shichang smiled. He did it on purpose. As soon as he met, he could tell that the other party was a new recruit and had never been to the battlefield. Therefore, he pulled him to help him deal with the body, hoping that Li Yong would adapt and not be weak when he went to the battlefield in the future.

After stripping off all the things that can be used on 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. It's gone if you come late!"

Li Yong had already vomited almost all of it, but when he heard the words "Braised Pork", the red and oily fat immediately flashed in front of his eyes, and it felt so similar to the flesh on the neck of the dead corpse just now. Thinking of this, there was another surge in his stomach and a stream of sour water sprayed out again.

When others saw Li Yong's performance, they kept laughing, especially those recruits, who looked gloating. Although they were also like this a bear in the past few months, it did not prevent them from laughing at others.

As a nobleman who has been frugal since childhood, although he has been rolling among the veterans of the Qi Palace last year and has developed all the basic qualities. However, it was the first time he faced a dead body, so nausea and vomiting were also a normal psychological reaction. It was not until Li Yong finished vomiting that he was able to vomit. Then Liu Shichang helped him and walked to the fire and sat down weakly.

"Brother, I feel better. Take a sip of hot water and kill a few more people next time, and you will feel nothing!" Erdanzi poured a pot of hot water that had just been boiled and 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 more comfortable. Li Yong naturally understood the kindness of Liu Shi. In addition, he had been in the army for a year and often made some kind or malicious jokes among his brothers. He knew that this was the way for the military men to express their feelings, and being able to joke like this to him means that he had completely accepted him and no longer regarded him as an outsider, so he was very happy.

Liu Shichang and the others were scouts. Everything was about moving forward lightly. When they encountered an enemy, they could fight. If they could fight, they would run away. Therefore, it was naturally impossible to bring a cookware such as a pot. However, this would not hurt them at all. Scrubbed the helmet on their heads with snow. It was a good pot. After putting it on the fire to boil the snow water, Erdanzi took out a few bamboo tubes from the horse, pounded it with a horizontal knife, and poured out a pile of braised pork pieces that had been frozen into stones.

Although Li Yong felt disgusting when he looked at the meat, there was nothing to vomit in his stomach. Moreover, he looked at the meat and felt that the thing was very familiar, so he asked, "Brother, why does this meat look so like canned food?"

"What does it mean to be like? It's originally canned food." Erdanzi said with a greedy look on his face.

"Aren't cans all glass bottles? Why did they turn into bamboo tubes?" Li Yong asked with confusion.

"Don't mention it, it's because of an order from the top!" Hearing Li Yan's question, the old dog who was busy next to him also spoke.

"What order?"

At this time, Liu Shichang replied: "That's right. Because glass bottles are more expensive, and after eating the can, the glass bottles can be recycled, so the superior ordered us to take the bottles back and hand them over after eating them. Even if they are broken, they will take the pieces back. If it is a large army, it would be fine. Anyway, there is a special baggage team, and the bottles are not a big problem. However, a team like us naturally have to go into battle lightly. Carrying these glass cans is quite cumbersome, but after eating, we are not allowed to throw them away. In desperation, we had to come up with a solution. When we came out, we would pour out all the food in the can and put them in the bamboo tube. In this way, we don't have to worry about breaking them. Second, we can throw away the bamboo tube after eating. In addition, the weather is now not a problem. Therefore, many people in the army do this now."

After listening to Liu Shichang and the others' explanation, Li Yong nodded. He once heard Li Yan say that canned food was originally invented to solve the problem of food preservation, but because glass is fragile, it is not suitable for making a single-handed food unless other materials are used instead of glass.

Erdanzi poured all the braised pork into a helmet. As the fire heated up, a seductive fragrance soon appeared. Although Li Yong still felt a little disgusting, it was much better. At this time, the others also took out the dough cakes, roasted them on the fire, or chopped them directly, and prepared to throw them into hot water to turn into batter.

Seeing this, Li Yong hurriedly stopped everyone, stood up and took out two "bricks" from him immediately. Erdanzi ran up and grabbed one and smelled it. He found that there was a smell of food, so he opened his mouth and wanted to bite it and taste it. As a result, when he got down, he bit off a small piece, but his teeth were also hurt.

Seeing Erdanzi's actions, Li Yong laughed loudly. When he vomited, he counted the boy laughed happily. 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 reading for a long time, he couldn't see what was made of.

Li Yong took the brick from Erdanzi's hand and smashed it with a knife for more than ten times. Finally, he smashed it into several pieces. The other one was smashed by the old dog as if it were. Then he divided it into several piles and threw it into the iron helmet to cook. In a short while, an indescribable smell floated out, and the water in the iron helmet also turned into a yellow-white soup.

"Come on, come on, everyone, try it. This is the special military ration newly sent to the Southern Army from Dengzhou. It is called Qianjin Cake. One piece is enough to eat it for two days by one person. The only disadvantage is that it is too hard, but it will be opened after soaking it in water. The taste of hot water is even better!" Li Yong was boasting himself. He had only eaten this thing once on the road, but after it felt that it was not delicious, he never ate it again.

I heard that this was the special military ration for the Southern Army from Dengzhou. Liu Shichang and his friends all lit up. The two Southern Army troops had already joined forces, but the logistics was still supplied by two places. Among them, the Southern Army was naturally mainly supplied by Dengzhou, while the Western Army was supplied by Yingzhou and other places. However, compared with the sufficient supply of the Southern Army, the Western Army was a bit miserable. There were many restrictions on land transportation, and Yingzhou and other places were not rich. Therefore, even if the rear was desperately transported, the Western Army's supplies were still tight.

Take canned food for example. The Southern Army distributed it according to people, and each person could be divided into a bottle of canned food for three days, while the Western Army implemented the distribution according to military merits. The number of military merits can be exchanged for as many canned food as possible. Liu Shichang and others were fine. Although it was dangerous, they could make some military merits from time to time, so they had never lacked meat. However, some second-line troops were in trouble. They had not obtained much military merits until the war started. Now they are almost becoming vegetarian monks.

Moreover, compared with the rich supply of the Southern Army, the food of the Western Army is much worse. Last time they met the scouts of the Southern Army, but when they were having dinner together, they saw that the food was also made of noodles, but at least they were made of white flour, and they could eat canned fish and meat. But they could only eat noodles with noodles, so don't mention that envy.

It is precisely because of this that when Liu Shichang and the others heard that this was the military ration for the Southern Army, they were very excited and wanted to taste the difference. So when they saw that it was cooked, they immediately snatched a helmet and drank it.

However, the soup tastes a bit strange. Erdanzi, the most greedy Erdanzi, didn't care about hot water. He took a big sip first, but was beaten by the strange smell. He frowned and swallowed it for a long time. Liu Shichang and the others were all the same. Fortunately, Yingzhou where they were stationed was not far from the sea, and occasionally he could eat seafood, so he could adapt to the fishy smell.

Li Yong ignored others. He had just vomited his stomach and was already relieved. He was very hungry, so he drank the soup in big mouthfuls, and at the same time he tore a few pieces of bread into it. This was the first time he discovered that the soup of Qianjin cake was actually quite delicious, but he just drank the soup and ate the noodles, but he didn't taste any braised pork. After all, his psychology was still a bit shady and could not be adjusted in a short time.

The others saw that Li Yong was eating very delicious, so they tried to drink a few more sips. After getting used to it, they found that it was indeed not as bad as before. They all became excited, eating noodles and drinking soup, while fighting with the others for braised pork.

But in a few minutes, they ate everything up. Then everyone cleaned up together, searched the Goguryeo defeated soldiers, threw all the spoils they could find onto the excess horses, turned the horse's head back to Zhang Jian's camp.

Li Yong naturally followed them, because Liu Shichang told him that King Jiangxia is now stationed at the city of Anshi, while Zhang Jian's army is stationed in a small town on the right wing of Li Daozong. Therefore, Li Yong can go back with them first, and then go to Anshicheng with the team given to the supplies. After all, Anshicheng is still a battlefield now, and there are even more small-scale contacts. If Li Yong goes alone, it would be too dangerous.

Just as Li Yong traveled all the way to find Li Daozong, a conspiracy was also brewing in the Pyongyang city of Goguryeo. In addition to the three brothers of the Yuan family, there were also several military generals holding real power. In order to solve the current dilemma of Goguryeo, they had just passed a fierce quarrel, and finally proposed by Yuan Putu to come up with a theoretically feasible plan, and this plan was also related to Li Yan.

However, if they want to complete this plan, they need to take a risk. If this plan is successful, they can at least retain their current territory. If it fails, it will only attract greater anger from the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the fate of these people will probably be more miserable than anyone else.
