In Fu Mingli's view, these two thousand people couldn't be released to fight anyway. They were not under his own control. It would be better to let them cook and other things, or at least watch them from inside the military camp.
Zhang Bao and the others were happy to do so.
The people in Liaozhou are also very satisfied. Aren't your governors awesome?
You don’t want to cook for us, uncle!
I have to say that in the past few days, Zhang Bao and others have served the people of Liaozhou obediently.
Even along the way, Zhang Bao asked them to go out and hunt a lot of wild animals and come back to improve their food.
After several days of traveling, Fu Mingli already had news about Zhu Yue and the others.
After all, we are in Liaozhou now. If we want to know the news about Zhu Yue and the others, we are still very sure.
This evening.
Cooking camp.
There are Zhang Bao's people inside and out.
"Quick, quick, move it out quickly and pour it in!"
"Pour some into the porridge, and also into the vegetables!"
"Tear out the marrow from the big bone and pour it in!"
Zhang Bao and the others lowered their voices.
After a while, several sacks of unknown powdery stuff were poured into the meals of each camp.
"Ouch!"
"What is this stew today?"
"Why does it smell so good?"
As soon as Zhang Bao and the others were ready, people from each camp who came to carry the food came over one after another, smelling the diffuse fragrance, and sniffed greedily one by one.
"stew!"
"You guys are in for a treat today. We passed by that wild mountain during the day and actually caught a lot of game. Although the meat can't be divided into a few pieces, the broth is enough!"
Zhang Bao said with a grin.
"oh?"
"Is it real?"
"Hurry up!"
"Hurry up and carry it away. Come over and serve it after you're done eating!"
The men and horses from each battalion hurriedly carried their parts back.
The Chinese military tent.
Fu Mingli was studying the map of Liaozhou. The various forces in Liaozhou were now intertwined and it was very confusing.
But as Fu Mingli has been the prefect of Liaozhou for so many years and has experienced hundreds of battles, large and small, he is not too worried about the current situation in Liaozhou.
According to the current marching speed, we can reach the Valley of the Dead in a few more days.
Judging from the information handed over to them, Zhu Yue and the others have now integrated several people into a team. It is obvious that they want to give themselves a show of strength.
otherwise.
How could such a posture be used to encircle and suppress so many scattered grassland people?
And the people from Dongzhou on the East Road seem to be moving closer. I heard that there is also a group of prairie people?
Which prairie people?
So tenacious?
Fu Mingli was also a little puzzled.
However, judging from the current situation, he can carry out the ambush according to the plan. As long as he speeds up a little more, he can reach the Valley of the Dead ahead of everyone.
The two sides of the valley entrance are easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as they are put in, it has been in the Valley of the Dead for so many years. As long as someone enters, it will be difficult to come out.
Even if you want to rush out, you can capture them if you occupy a favorable position when the time comes.
I still have the final say in Liaozhou!
Fu Mingli looked at the map with his hands behind his back.
"Huh?"
"Why does it smell so good?"
"Eating meat again today?"
Fu Mingli suddenly smelled a fragrance, turned around and saw that the food was delivered by soldiers.
"Yes, sir!"
"I have to say that the cooking of this group of people in Hezhou is really delicious. They are much better than our previous group leaders!"
"I heard that this was game they hunted in the mountains when they were passing by. The leader even fished out a large piece of meat for you!"
"You must try the marrow of this big bone. It's most delicious when you suck it!"
The soldier said with a smile.
When he went to serve Fu Mingli a meal just now, Zhang Bao specially gave him a large piece of meat. It was so satisfying!
"Um!"
"That's right, let it go!"
"There hasn't been much movement among those people recently, right?"
Fu Mingli also sat down at the table.
"No adults!"
"Recently, I often go out to hunt game for us. Although I can't eat a few mouthfuls of meat, my brothers are very satisfied when they can drink the broth!"
"I didn't expect this group of people to be quite capable. They're just too crazy and too talkative."
"Always want to beat them up."
The soldier said with a smile.
"That's natural. They want to supervise us going to the Valley of the Dead now. Of course they have to take good care of us."
"As for the arrogance, just tolerate it if you can. Now is not the time to cause trouble."
"In addition, since they still have the ability to hunt, don't restrict them, let them move more, pass on the order, add some bows and arrows to them, and don't restrict entry and exit."
"It's impossible for them to leave anyway. When the time comes, find a way to keep them!"
"Made!"
“It smells so good!”
Fu Mingli couldn't wait any longer.
He waved his hands to drive the soldiers out, and started to enjoy his meal.
In the military camp.
Zhang Bao and the others happily went to the ordnance camp to get a sufficient number of bows and arrows, gathered all the troops, and headed outside.
The camp was full of soldiers squatting on the ground eating with bowls in their hands.
"Are you going out again?"
"Don't be so diligent, I won't be able to eat today."
"That's right. If you do this, I'm a little embarrassed to scold you."
"That's nonsense. How can there be enough food? We have 30,000 people and you just bring back so much food. It's not even enough to stuff between your teeth."
"Hurry up and get some more meat for the grandpas!"
"..."
When the soldiers saw Zhang Bao and the others were fully armed and about to go out, they all shouted.
"Why are you so anxious? This isn't a trap set up during the day. Let's take it back at night. Just wait. There will definitely be something good in a while!"
"Brothers, let's go!"
Zhang Bao didn't care, he grinned and rushed out with others.
The soldiers guarding the camp had already received the news about Fu Mingli, and when they saw Zhang Bao and the others leaving, they even grinned at them.
during this time.
Zhang Bao and the others were in charge of the cooking camp in the camp. Not to mention anything else, the horses were fed millet porridge, which was very satisfying. They had no intention of leaving a way out for them anyway, so they were very happy.
In addition to cooking, Zhang Bao and his troops ate, slept, and ate. During this period, they could be considered completely restored to their full strength.
After leaving the military camp, he ran towards the south happily.
Naturally, they were not going to hunt any prey, but the mission here had been completed and they escaped.
"Hahaha!"
"Enjoyable!"
"Let them eat and see what they do at night!"
"If it's poisoned, I'm sure they'll all finish it off!"
Wu Dayong laughed while riding.
"You are stupid, why should we kill them? What a good thug?"
"After all this trouble tonight, when we encounter Zhu Yue's troops, we will definitely fight tooth and nail as soon as we get up there!"
"What does that say? You can kill me, but you can't insult me!"
"Besides, how much poison are needed for 30,000 people? We emptied the warehouses of several livestock stores to get so much laxatives, so be satisfied!"
Zhang Bao also said with a smile.
In the city before, Zhang Bao saw many people selling breeding powder and laxatives.
In the middle of the night, he deliberately stayed behind and took Fang Fu and the others to get some sacks.
It was not used until today, after hearing the news from the governor and others. Zhang Bao and the others had been cooking for such a long time, and they were not prepared at all.
"grown ups!"
"Then what are we going to do next?"
Wu Dayong asked Zhang Bao.
"Of course we are looking for Governor Zhu. They are not dead yet. They are really lucky, but they must be looking for us."
"We go over there and stick together, and then say we're defecting to Liaozhou. Isn't that the end of the matter?"
"Then when they meet, let them fight!"
Zhang Bao grinned.
"Forehead……"
"This is so treacherous!"
Wu Dayong said subconsciously.
"What did you say?"
Zhang Bao stared.
"No no no!"
"I mean...this...ahem, good people will have a safe life!"
