Chapter 125 Resentment In Dingxiang City (3, Please Subscribe!)
In the city of Chang'an, Li Er followed the script that had been set beforehand step by step, performing a grand play vigorously.
In the palace, Yun Zhongjun took advantage of Li Er's absence and used his own identity to secretly investigate the whereabouts of the sparrow.
The endless undercurrent is in the core capital of Tang Dynasty.
Unceasingly surging, in a calm scene, who can say that they are in complete control of everything here!
Compared with the undercurrent in Chang'an city.
Dingxiang City thousands of miles away!
But it was shrouded in a huge cloud of gloom!
It's already nightfall, and it's time to start a fire and cook.
In various barracks in the city.
But there are only sporadic fireworks, slowly rising!
Bite by Bite - Marching Pot Holder over a Campfire
Bean porridge with clear soup and little water is the meal for tonight!
A few days ago, Princess Yicheng attacked and burned the food and grass brought by Chang'an,
Dingxiang City also began to fall into a food crisis.
After all, more than 100,000 people eat horse chews, and every day is an astronomical minister!
For this reason, General Li Shan immediately ordered that the whole army reduce the food supply and save rations.
Although this is a last resort.
But at any rate, it's also food in wartime.
It was fine for all the army to drink porridge without a break, and even soybeans and black beans, which were originally used as fodder for war horses, gradually began to be mixed into the porridge pot.
And as time goes by, more and more beans are mixed into rice porridge.
Rice grain is getting less and less!
After a long time, there was some resentment in the army.
After all, people are not livestock. Beans are used as food, and it is acceptable to eat a few meals occasionally.
But I eat this bean porridge, which is not much more than a few grains of rice than boiled beans, all day long.
Who can bear it?!
"I eat beans every day, and I don't even see a few grains of rice! I fart all day long, and my legs are weak!"
A mouthful of marching pot sides.
A recruit Danzi, who looked only eighteen or nineteen years old, held a bowl of bean porridge with a sad face.
He sighed while drinking, but he didn't finish his sentence.
Sitting next to him, a veteran who looked like thirty or forty years old slapped him directly on the back of the head.
"Keep your mouth shut when you're eating! It would be nice to have bean porridge to fill your stomach! These days, when you can't even drink bean porridge, you can't find anything to eat even if you cry for days!! "
The veteran gave the recruit a hard look.
"They are all unlucky children who have never been hungry. When Lord Zhen Guogong and I were attacking Tubo, we even ate grass roots to survive! Compared with that time, drinking bean porridge is like a dream. ....How dare you dislike me!"
Hearing these words, Xin Xinbing Danzi, who was about to complain, immediately shut up.
Obediently, he drank the bean porridge in a sullen manner. There was no other way. If he kept talking about it, maybe the old man would say something to him again.
The old soldier's words made the new recruit Danzi shut up!
Sitting opposite the veteran, another veteran with a beard looked like he frowned.
Said very angrily.
"Old Xu, don't compare the current situation with the time when we were in Tubo Daxue Mountain!"
The bearded veteran held the bean porridge in his hand, and pouted at the military official's office in the distance.
"We eat bean porridge here, but we eat meat porridge over there! Hehe, compare this kind of waste with Mr. Zhen Guogong! Do you still have a conscience?"
The army went out, and the general and the soldiers of the Common shared joys and sorrows.
This should have been an iron law in the military!
Back then, General Zhen Guogong took them to climb snow-capped mountains and cross grasslands.
The shortage of food and grass is also suffering from hunger with them.
He is a young general at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and he is still a general respected by everyone in the court!
What a man of gold!
No matter how short of food there is in the army, this morsel of food is indispensable.
But he still saves his rations for the wounded and sick!
Like them Common soldiers, they eat bark and grass roots.
Even when the food was most scarce, even Guanyin soil was eaten together.
The whole army, who doesn't respect Lord Zhen Guo very much!
In comparison!
Look at this now, General Li Shan who was transferred from nowhere.
!
It's just that she was plotted by a little girl and got shot in the arm by an arrow!
He became a wounded and sick person in a daze! What he ate was sick and injured meals! Although it can’t be said to be big fish and meat, every meal is served with fine grains!
That's right! There is a shortage of food in Dingxiang now!
10......
He ordered the whole army to save rations and eat porridge!
Now it's not easy for him to start a small stove and eat polished rice and white noodles...
He also ate porridge like these soldiers!
The rice grains are just like them, they are pitifully few!
It's just that the beans turned into lumps of meat!
Every time the army serves meals, their bitter soldiers are sighing while holding bean porridge!
However, the strong smell of meat wafting from the officer's battalion could only waft across the entire Dingxiang City.
"Hey! What did you say that the general shares the joys and sorrows with the soldiers! I have been a soldier all my life, and now I have seen it... Pooh! What the hell!"
The bearded veteran became more and more angry as he talked, and in the end, he spit on the ground!
"Okay! Complaints are almost enough, don't die!"
Old Xu gave the bearded veteran a hard look, then raised his head and looked around.
After making sure that no one was paying attention to them, he said angrily.
"As long as you complain a lot, if those army commanders find out, you will suffer! That general is worried that he can't find a head to use for him to strengthen the army..."
Since General Li Jing was transferred away, this General Li Shan came here.
The invading Turkic barbarians didn't kill a few, but I don't know how many my own family members did!
The last time the army rations were robbed, then Li Shan must have said that there was a secret operation in the army.
Like Sima plowing the field in the army, he plowed the army again.
Killed five or six hundred people at once!
The spies were not found, and the morale of the army was severely shaken.
It's good that the bearded veteran didn't listen to this, but once he did.
Immediately his eyes widened.
"Hey! If they are my head, just come and get it! We have fought for Datang all our lives and suffered injuries all our lives! In the end, they actually abused us like this! Hey! How depressing!"
The bearded man said cursingly.
"Old Wang is such a good man, he has been in the same pot with us for more than ten years! Just because he made a complaint, he was labeled as "shaking the morale of the army", and he was labeled as a secret worker. Hang it on the city wall!"
"I've been fighting for a lifetime, and I don't even get the treatment of a shroud in horse leather, and somehow it's become a secret job! I don't want to rest in peace when I die!"
"For the country and family, love soldiers like sons, I will hate you!".
