Ever since he learned that the Qin army was about to arrive at the royal city, King Yuezhi ordered people to investigate every other hour, fearing that the Qin army would suddenly launch an attack and they would avoid it!
None of the ministers put them back. They were all waiting in the main hall so that if anything happened, they could discuss it in time!
However, the night was uneventful, and King Yuezhi lay on the table and took a nap.
The ministers had suffered so much that they couldn't sleep a wink all night, and now they were all really sleepy. If allowed, they could all fall asleep in this hall!
"Report..."
Just after Mao hour, the guards came to report.
Before entering the main hall, he shouted with all his strength, frightening everyone.
After King Yuezhi was awakened, he was about to get angry, but suddenly thought of the current situation and could only endure it.
"Say quickly! Is there any sign of the Qin army breaking out of camp?"
When the Qin army came yesterday, it was already late and they did not launch an attack.
At dawn today, it is very likely that we will break out of camp and attack the city!
"Your Majesty, the Qin army has not yet broken out of camp!"
The soldiers reported truthfully.
"Oh? You haven't broken camp yet?"
King Yuezhi was a little confused.
In this era, no matter which country, everyone follows the sunrise and sunset.
It's already very bright now, why haven't they made any move yet?
"That's right! They built a fire in the woods and are grilling meat!"
At this point, the soldier swallowed unconsciously.
"Barbecue? What kind of meat to grill?"
This suddenly made the Yuezhi King even more confused.
When the troops came to the city, they didn't attack the city, but instead started roasting meat?
"horsemeat!"
"horsemeat?"
"Yes, when we were inquiring, we found that they had pulled several carts of horse legs. Some of them were skinning them, and some were roasting the skinned ones on the fire!"
The soldier who went to investigate nodded firmly.
"What? They actually roasted the horses? Are these Qin troops crazy? Are they going to attack the city on their own feet?"
This wave of operations made the Yuezhi King even more confused, and even the ministers looked puzzled.
"Could it be that the Qin army didn't bring any food and grass and could only satisfy their hunger with war horses?"
"Well, yes, that must be the case. Otherwise, who would roast horse meat during a war?"
"Yes, yes, unheard of...!"
The ministers looked at each other and guessed.
"Hahaha! That's great. Without food and grass, even if we drag, we can still win!"
Thinking of this, the Yuezhi King let out a long sigh of relief.
The Qin army is powerful, he admits, but he has no brains.
"In my opinion! The commander-in-chief of the Qin army must have no brains. He went out to fight and didn't bring enough food and grass!"
"Haha! Yes! They have a saying in China, which is that before the soldiers and horses are moved, food and grass go first. Could it be that these guys didn't make any plans or made some omissions and couldn't even supply food and grass for three thousand people? , it seems that Da Qin is not developing as fast as the legend says!"
"Perhaps Da Qin's ability to capture the Xiongnu and Chen Kingdom was purely a matter of luck...!"
After feeling confident, the ministers laughed at each other one after another and relaxed a lot.
"No! Your Majesty, their horses are still tied to the tree. What they roasted is not their own horses!"
The ministers kept talking, but the guard couldn't interrupt at all, and he didn't dare to interrupt. Finally, after they all shut up, the guard opened his mouth to explain.
"What? Not their war horse? Where did the horse's legs come from...?"
King Yuezhi blurted out.
But as soon as the words came out of my mouth, I realized what was happening. My heart suddenly felt cramped, and I coughed violently, "Cough cough cough..."
There’s no need to think about it, since it’s not the Qin army’s war horse, it must be his Yueshi’s!
The Yuezhi's territory is not large to begin with, and there are no good pastures. The existing war horses are almost all the Yuezhi's horses.
Unexpectedly, Qin Jun was roasted like this?
"Cough cough cough..."
"puff……"
It seemed that he had received a huge blow. After coughing violently, King Yuezhi actually spit out a mouthful of old blood.
"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself!"
"Yes! Your Majesty, the cavalry failed. This result is reasonable. As long as General El arrives, we Yueshi still have a chance!"
"Your Majesty! The war horse is gone, we can still raise it, but you must take care of yourself...!"
Seeing this situation, the ministers were really shocked.
In the face of foreign enemies, if the king dies again, the Yuezhi will be without a leader and become a piece of loose sand.
Insufficient guarantees will lead to civil strife, and then there will really be internal and external troubles, and there will be no hope!
"Okay, I'm fine...!"
After waiting for a long time, he asked the doctor to check again. King Yuezhi's breathing finally became easier, and he waved his hand towards the guard who came to report, "You go down first, and you must pay close attention to the movements of the Qin army!"
"yes!"
The guard took the order and quickly turned around and ran out.
Good guy, I almost sent the king away because of my report. You must be careful with your words next time!
…
"His Royal Highness, you are really powerful. You went out in a hurry and even brought so many spices with you!"
The Flying Eagle team was stationed fifty miles outside the Yuezhi King's City. Wang Li took the freshly roasted horse meat off the fire, sprinkled some seasonings on it, and ate it happily.
"That's natural. Without these cumin, sesame seeds and chili powder, would this roasted horse meat still be edible?"
Ying Feiyu slowly turned the wooden stick on the charcoal fire and turned over the roasted horse legs that were sizzling with oil.
In fact, he did not bring these condiments here at all, but they have been stored in the system warehouse to make them more convenient to use.
But the system is a secret, and you can’t tell it to them, not even to Wang Wan!
Originally they wanted to bake at noon, but when they thought of the huge sun, they changed their minds.
Taking advantage of the coolness of the morning, I quickly grilled all the horse meat. Otherwise, it would be a heatstroke if it was exposed to the sun at noon and grilled over a charcoal fire. Who would be in the mood to eat meat?
"His Royal Highness, your presence has improved our quality of life. In our garden, you can eat mutton freely, and you can also eat beef every now and then, not to mention pork, every meal! If it were changed to the past, Meat is rarely seen, so who cares whether it has seasoning or not? If you see it, you have to stuff it in your mouth!"
Peng Yue said with a smile.
"Well! Lao Peng, you are right about this. In my hometown, my parents could not grow enough food for a living. They had to find other ways, let alone meat, and we could not see each other twice throughout the year! "
Yingbu felt the same and nodded repeatedly.
Now they don’t want to eat the roasted ones without seasoning, and they don’t want to eat the boiled ones!
Thinking about the past, they should be content now!
"That was all in the past. Now we have large tracts of pasture for the Xiongnu, and we have also started trade with the Xiongnu. The price of mutton has gradually dropped. In the future, everyone will be able to eat mutton, haha!"
Ying Feiyu said with a smile.
Then he took the roasted horse meat off the shelf and handed it to Wang Wan.
