What's this?
Isn't it a simple vegetable soup that just boils the water, then puts the vegetables in and cooks it? Why does it have a burnt taste?
The fresh grilled fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, but why does it taste like eating salted fish?
"Hahaha, this is the first time I've encountered a dish that tastes worse than Yueying's!"
Ji Shu chuckled.
Jiang Qin, who was sitting next to him, also frowned and took a bite of fish and a mouthful of soup. He secretly sighed helplessly. If he had known better, he would have started cooking by himself.
Compared to the two of them, Lu Xun was much more gentle. He ate in small bites and his face was so calm that nothing unusual could be seen. He was much more graceful than the two adults.
Wei Yan swallowed the bitter pill with big mouthfuls, making a loud sound.
"General, do you still want to eat?"
"Why don't you go eat what's on the side, and I'll finish the rest myself."
The Yulin Army had already arrived at Xiakou Port and was now on its way to Huyang Port. This journey is not far. The Yulin Army has been walking for two days, and the guide also said that they are almost at Huyang Port.
At this time, Ji Shu asked the soldiers to stop eating and rest for a while. Unexpectedly, the soldiers went to the river to catch a few fish and came back to cook a small stove for Ji Shu and the others.
There weren't many fish, just enough for Ji Shu and four people. The soldiers themselves refused to eat, so Ji Shu was naturally embarrassed to ask them to handle the ingredients, so at Ji Shu's suggestion, the four guessed the chef. Then, they got a taste of Wei Yan's craftsmanship.
"Hey, I've eaten tree roots and turf, so what does this mean?"
It had been a long time since he had tasted this bitterness, which reminded Ji Shu of the days when he fled to Luoyang.
Those days allowed him to get rid of his illusions and thoroughly see the difference between ancient times and modern times, prosperous times and troubled times.
This is the so-called real world apart.
"Era" seems to be a distant term that makes people miss it.
For Ji Shu, the memory of that era has become a future goal.
Ji Shu smiled softly and answered Wei Yandao.
“When the day comes when everyone in the world has enough to eat, it won’t be too late for us to be picky about food!”
Jiang Qin suddenly laughed when he heard Ji Shu's answer. He looked at Ji Shu seriously and respectfully, nodded in agreement and raised the soup bowl.
"Okay, for that day!"
Lu Xun joined in slightly excitedly, while Wei Yan looked at Ji Shu inexplicably and raised his bowl.
Being made so solemn by Jiang Qin, Ji Shu, who had spoken before, felt a little shy, but he had no choice but to raise the bowl.
Everyone drank it all.
"It tastes bad" "It tastes bad"······
Hearing everyone's blunt remarks, Wei Yan's face turned dark instantly.
Just when everyone was about to finish lunch, a cavalry troop came straight towards them from the front of the road.
It was Zhou Tai who arrived with 300 cavalry.
"Commander, why are you here?"
Zhou Tai jumped off his horse and came over in surprise.
He originally just heard that a troop of troops was coming to escort food and grass, so he came over to take a look when he had nothing to do, but he didn't expect to meet Ji Shu.
You must know that Ji Shu is the coach of the attack on Jingnan. Zhou Tai is a little confused when he appears here.
Ji Shu did not answer Zhou Tai's question immediately. He handed the last remaining grilled fish to Zhou Tai with a smile.
"Youping, you have very good control here, but 300 cavalrymen dare to run rampant nearby."
Zhou Tai was not polite and said as he took the fish and sat down.
"After Wenpin saw through the reality of my situation, he left 3,000 people to defend Xinye and rushed back."
"If this wall hadn't been broken by cavalry, and I wasn't willing to build siege equipment for this precious little guy like Tiger Roar Camp to attack the city, I would have captured this small town in Xinye long ago."
"However, the city has not been breached. The villages and counties around Xinye are basically under my control. The Han army did not dare to take a step outside Xinye City."
"So salty!"
Zhou Tai took a bite of the grilled fish and immediately frowned and looked at Ji Shu.
Wei Yan, with a black hair on his face, hid at the edge and said nothing.
Ji Shu, Lu Xun, and Jiang Qin all snickered.
"Military advisor, you are so evil, you actually plotted against me!"
Zhou Tai and Ji Shu met relatively early and were more open-minded than everyone here. He glared at Ji Shu angrily, grabbed a bowl, scooped out a bowl of soup, and drank it all in one gulp.
"good!"
Ji Shu immediately applauded.
The light vegetable soup flows down the throat, and the burnt taste leaves a fragrant taste in your mouth.
It feels like drinking Chinese medicine.
Zhou Tai's dark face turned the color of bitter melon.
Phew~~
Jiang Qin and Lu Xun couldn't help laughing.
Zhou Tai pretended to be angry.
"Commander, you are hurting our feelings. We finally got together, and you treat me to this?!"
After making a joke, Ji Shu quickly apologized and got down to business.
As soon as he heard that there was going to be a sneak attack on Xiangyang, Zhou Tai immediately got excited and forgot about what happened just now.
"Military advisor, I'll go with you!"
"no!"
Ji Shu flatly rejected Zhou Tai and explained.
"You are now the commander-in-chief of the Tiger Roar Camp, and the spies of the Han army are watching you!"
"You must appear in their sight! This will make them relax their vigilance and create opportunities for our sneak attack."
Although Zhou Tai was a little reluctant, this was also a serious fact. He reluctantly nodded and agreed with Ji Shu's statement.
Ji Shu saw this and continued.
"In the afternoon, you first have 2,000 soldiers and horses rush to Xiakou Port with great fanfare, and then personally bring 1,000 soldiers and horses to continue harassing Xinye City. I will take the Yulin Army to rest for half a day at Huyang Port, and tonight I will cross the river at night Sneak attack on Longzhong Port."
Zhou Tai asked a little confused after hearing this.
"It's easy for me to lead troops to Xinye City to show up, but what's going on with 2,000 troops returning to Xiakou Port?"
"Hanjin Port has been lost."
The fall of Hanjin Port caught Ji Shu off guard.
In this way, it seems suspicious that Ji Shu's thousand soldiers and horses left Hanjin Port alone and went to "escort the grain and grass". In order to prevent being discovered, Ji Shu came up with the idea of switching troops and horses to deceive others.
"What?!"
After hearing Ji Shu's answer, Zhou Tai sat up in shock.
"I will immediately take the 3,000 Tiger Roaring Battalion back to recapture Hanjin Port and rescue the lord!"
"calm down!"
Ji Shu finally pressed Zhou Tai down.
"Brother will be fine. This may be the plan of the second brother. Wulin Port has been captured by me. As a last resort, they will break through Jiangling's defense line and go south to join Gan Ning and the others."
"Now, our most important task is to capture Xiangyang!"
"As long as Xiangyang is captured, the Han army will immediately fall apart."
"Youping, you must cooperate with my actions now, do you understand?"
Zhou Tai let out a long breath, nodded and clasped his fists.
"yes!"
