Order.

On the east bank of the Liao River, the three cities and seven forts controlled by Luo Cheng were busy up and down, killing pigs and sheep everywhere.

The movement here also quickly spread to the ears of the Goguryeo people in the surrounding cities such as Xincheng, Liaodong, and Buyeo. When the Goguryeo people heard that Luo Cheng had killed pigs and sheep, they were secretly frightened and hurriedly ordered to strengthen their vigilance.

Especially Yang Wanchun of Xincheng, who was cut off an arm last time and almost lost his life. After going back, the fever did not stop, and it was not easy to save a life, which will be raised for a long time before it can be regarded as recovering some vitality. But since that war, he has never dared to speak lightly about the new city to regain lost territory.

Every day, he just asked his subordinates to train soldiers and horses and reorganize their weapons, for fear that Luo Cheng would wave his troops to attack.

On this day, he heard that Luo Cheng was killing pigs and sheep in all the cities under his control, and he immediately judged that this must be Luo Cheng's preparation for a big siege. Before the siege, pigs and sheep were slaughtered, and wine and meat were commonly used to reward and motivate soldiers.

Yang Wanchun was anxious, after the last World War, the Xincheng area could be said to be disabled. And Yuan Jiantu was captured, he forcibly took over the new city, although this matter caused a huge controversy in the court of the Goguryeo royal capital, but there was the king and the royal faction to protect it, plus Mo Lizhi Yuan Taizuo's son lost the army and lost the city, so in the end he still let him take over as the new city lord.

After the king appointed him as the lord of the city, he asked Liaodong, Fuyu and other cities to send troops and horses to support the defense of the new city, and even put forward a battle plan to recover the lost territory of Xuansu and other cities, to take advantage of the Sui army before the arrival of the army, to annihilate Luo Cheng who crossed the river and regain the lost territory.

The plan was good, and Yang Wanchun was willing to carry it out, but Liaodong and Fuyu Zhucheng refused to send troops over.

Especially the city lord of Liaodong City, Yuan Gai Suwen, he is the eldest brother of Yuan Jiantu, the son of Yuan Taizuo, he has a heavy army, but he does not send a soldier to come over.

Yang Wanchun knew that although the king of the court suppressed Yuan Taizuo and successfully made him the lord of Xincheng, Yuan Taizuo was not reconciled, and Yuan Taizuo, who actually held the military and political power in the north of Goguryeo, used this method to deal with the king's will.

Without reinforcements, the new city would still have only 7,000 men.

He could only select young and strong people from the people in the city, let them replenish the army, and step up training. But the training of these recruits is too short, and if the Sui army really wants to attack, he doesn't know how much he can last.

"Quick, ask for help from the cities!"

"Urgently report to Pyongyang, saying that the Sui army is going to attack Xincheng on a large scale, and Xincheng has few soldiers, and I am afraid that it will not be able to defend it, so let the king not necessarily send troops to reinforce it. Also, Liaodong and Buyeo refused to send troops to support, and asked the king to send the royal guards to come to reinforcements, and the soldiers in the east could not be counted on. ”

In order to be able to motivate the morale of the army, Yang Wanchun gritted his teeth and ordered to kill pigs and sheep, and then reward them to the soldiers in the city, just so that when Luo Cheng came, these recruits could do their best.

just waited for a few days, but there was no movement of Luo Cheng's troops.

But the scouts sent out reported every day that the walled cities controlled by Luo Cheng were still killing pigs and sheep every day, and the sound was amazing.

Now Yang Wanchun really can't understand.

This Luo kills pigs and sheep every day, what is this for?

"Aren't these Sui troops going to withdraw?"

Yang Wanchun glanced at this subordinate, the million-strong army of the Sui army had already arrived in Liaoxi, and at this time, Luo Cheng, who had already occupied three cities and seven forts, how could he still withdraw?

"I don't understand, keep staring." Yang Wanchun can only say this.

Xuansu City.

A group of generals and colonels of the Fifth Left Army sat in the house where the earth dragon was burned, and everyone sat in order of position, one person and one seat.

After a while, there were auxiliary soldiers bringing trays of food.

But the generals looked at the objects in front of them, but they were a little stunned.

It's not roasted lamb, it's not fried pork cutlets, it's not stewed donkey meat, it's not boiled river fish.

Cunxiao picked up a plush stuff with chopsticks, "What is this?" ”

"You can taste it, you can eat it." Luo Chengdao.

The fourth got a little bit in his mouth, but after chewing a few times, he spit it out, "This thing can also be eaten?" It is fishy and fatty, tasteless to chew, and tastes the same as chewing wax, which is very similar to chewing a mess. ”

The other officers also tried it, and they all shook their heads.

"It's so unpalatable."

Luo Cheng also picked up some meat floss from the plate in front of him, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and finally swallowed it.

"It doesn't taste very good, but after all, this is not a famous dish for banquets, this is just dry food for the march. And in order to be in a hurry, I tried to simplify the process, compress the time, and taste worse, but this thing is a real meat floss, and the ones in front of you are still made of beef, which is the best in the meat floss. ”

"It's too good for a cow to kill it, and it ends up like this." The fourth complained.

"You know what, no matter how good the cattle are, we can't keep driving the cattle to Pyongyang, no matter how delicious the beef is, we can't carry the beef away. But these unpalatable meat floss in front of you, you only need a small handful, you can fill your stomach for a day, and put a sheepskin bag or a cow bladder in it, enough for you to eat for several months, you say, isn't this thing bad? No matter how unpalatable it is, isn't it better than when you are hungry, but you can't even find the grassroots? ”

"Is it really that amazing?" The fourth child didn't believe it.

"When did I lie to everyone, today I will invite you to eat a meal of meat floss, and then with this fried rice fried noodles, each of which is not much, but it is definitely enough to care about your fullness for a day, after eating, you don't eat for a day to try, see if it works."

After hearing this, the third heir nodded, "If it really has such an effect, then even if this meat floss is as unpalatable as dog shit, it is definitely a good thing." ”

In peacetime, a soldier carries a few days' worth of dry food with him at most, and the rest of the food is carried and transported by auxiliary soldiers. If this meat floss is really so good, wouldn't it be remarkable that a soldier who carried the meat floss that used to carry three days of dry food and a heavy load could manage it for thirty days.

So, all the generals stared at the meat floss in front of them with bright eyes, and ate them fiercely one by one, and they ate very sacredly, as if they were not eating, but doing something noble.

Luo Cheng himself is eating.

He was actually complaining in his heart while eating, this production is too rough and unpalatable, the taste is poor, the taste is even worse, if this is usual, he really doesn't want to eat it, what kind of thing, there is even a smell of fur, and there is a smell of cow.

But seeing that everyone eats so hard, he can't stop eating, so he has to eat hard.

It seems that next time, we will have to find a way to improve this meat floss.

It is fried rice and fried noodles, which has won the unanimous praise of the generals who have been devastated by the meat floss.

"It's like human food, what kind of thing was that?" The fourth said helplessly.

As a result, everyone laughed and felt that this was said in their hearts.

"But if that meat floss really works, then even if it's, I'll have to bring it, and the more the better." The fourth child did not forget to add another sentence in the end.

When there is a war, no matter how delicious it is, some of it is the best, and some armies in history, when there is a shortage of food, they even eat human flesh. Especially during the period when the Five Hu rebelled against China and the Sixteen Kingdoms, many Hu armies even directly regarded people as two-legged sheep.

No matter how unpalatable this meat floss is, can it be more disgusting than human flesh?

No matter how unpalatable the meat is, it is still meat, and eating meat is always more nutritious than eating soil and drinking water.
