Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 671

"For dinner, let's have fried locusts."

After Qin Tian said this, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu couldn't help curling their lips.

Who dares to eat locusts?

This is the locust god, if you eat it, you will suffer disaster.

Several people trembled in their hearts, but they didn't care about it. They thought that Qin Tian meant that although some food was distributed to the refugees, they still had some left. , then everything is easy to say.

The refugees got the food and left with gratitude. Qin Tian and the others continued to set off with the team.

Before dusk came, they finally found a stream. Although the stream was a stream, the water level was very shallow. It might dry up in a few days.

The Mad Demon Army filled their respective kettles with water and prepared to cook.

However, when they took out the food, Qin Tian shook his head: "From today on, we will no longer use food as a staple food. We will only eat locusts. Tonight, we will eat stir-fried locusts."

Qin Tian looked at the crowd and began to talk, but after they finished listening, they were stunned for a moment and didn't move.

"Didn't you hear what this Marquis said? Do you want this Marquis to deal with it with military law?" Qin Tian's expression turned cold. The soldier only needs to obey the order. If the soldier doesn't know how to obey the order, there is no way to fight the battle.

Finally, someone stood up.

"Master Hou, the locust plague is the locust god's anger, punishing us, eating locusts, I'm afraid it's bad luck."

"Yes, Lord Marquis, we have food, why do we eat locusts?"

"Master Hou..."

Everyone was muttering, but Hu Shiba suddenly shouted angrily: "Shut up!"

Hu Shiba's voice was very loud, and the noisy barracks suddenly fell silent. Qin Tian said with a gloomy face, "As members of the Mad Demon Army, you are going to fight the enemy on the battlefield, and you are going to kill the enemy in the corpses and blood. Born out of nowhere, from the moment I chose you, this Marquis has taken a fancy to your fearless character, a group of people who are not even afraid of death, are you afraid of eating locusts?"

Qin Tian's voice was deafening. Everyone looked at each other and suddenly felt that this was the reason. When they were soldiers, they were licking blood on the knife edge. They might die at any time. locust?

After reacting, a person suddenly asked: "Master Hou, are the locusts delicious? If they are not tasty, we don't want to eat them."

This was a joke, everyone laughed, but Qin Tian was not angry: "Ben Hou's stir-fried locusts, I guarantee that you will want to eat them after eating them. Okay, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and catch them, Ben Hou will eat with you."

Hearing that Qin Tian also ate, the soldiers became less worried, so in twos and threes, with their own tools, they went to catch the locusts.

There are still a lot of locusts here, although they are not as big as the ones seen today, but as long as you want to catch them, you can catch a lot of them casually.

If more than [-] people are arrested at the same time, there will be even more arrests.

Originally, there were a lot of locusts beside the creek, but after being caught by them, it was a bit difficult to find some locusts in the end.

If human beings are good at eating, they can eat many things to extinction, and locusts are no exception.

As dusk came, soldiers kept bringing the locusts they had caught and asked the cooks to fry them.

The cook here is very busy. After the locusts are caught, they are put in the bag and slapped to death, and then poured into the oil pan for frying. Soon, the fragrance permeates the barracks.

Although these locusts are small, they are still a piece of meat.

Once the locusts are fried, these soldiers eat them with steamed buns. Not to mention the taste, they are really delicious. Some people don’t even need steamed buns. They just grab a plate and eat them. A plate of locusts is not enough for one person. Woolen cloth.

The cook here is tired and sweating profusely.

At dusk, everyone was hiccupping after eating.

"Don't tell me, this locust tastes really good after frying it."

"Who says it's not? When there was no locust plague, I liked eating locusts at home."

"seriously?"

"Of course it's true, this food is delicious."

After eating, the soldiers talked more, and the more so, their fear of locusts became weaker.

People like Cheng Chumo didn't want to eat it at first, but seeing that people like Qin Tian and Hu Shiba ate with gusto, they had no choice but to eat it.

"Brother Qin, are the locusts really all right?"

"The main reason for the locust plague is the severe drought. The severe drought, the lack of water, and the environment are conducive to the reproduction of locusts. In fact, these have nothing to do with the locust god, let alone any divine punishment..."

During the meal, Qin Tian taught Cheng Chumo and others about the locust plague.

If the common people were not so afraid of locusts and started to get rid of locusts early, would there be such troubles now?

It's all ignorance that kills people.

The night passed like this, and the next morning, the mad demon army continued to set off. Along the way, whenever they saw locusts, they would immediately grab them and wait for the next meal.

The 5000 crazy demon army walked all the way to catch the locusts. Although the locusts reproduced very quickly, [-] people would eat them, which is by no means a small number. Therefore, wherever they went along the way, the locusts disappeared.

And just after they walked like this for a few days, when early summer came and the weather was unbearably hot, they finally arrived outside Dangyang City.

Dangyang City is not a particularly prosperous city, and it looks a bit desolate under the raging locust plague.

Under the bright sun, the rebels on the city tower kept wiping their sweat.

When a rebel saw Tang Jun running towards this side, he immediately wiped his eyes, saw that he was right, and ran down quickly.

When Yangcheng government office, Han Yi was escaping the summer heat in the pavilion, and at this moment, the rebel soldier hurried over.

"My lord, it's not good, Tang Jun is here."

Hearing that Tang Jun was coming, Han Yi jumped up suddenly. He was a fat man, and when he jumped up, he looked extremely funny.

"Tang Jun is here, what... what should I do?"

After saying this, Han Yi seemed to suddenly think of something again, and asked, "How many people, how many people are here from Tang Jun?"

Han Yi knew about the fact that the imperial court had sent three groups of soldiers, but he still asked.

"Not many, maybe five thousand people."

Hearing that there were only [-] people, Han Yi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he smiled: "Tang Jun also underestimated us, he only brought [-] soldiers and horses, and he wanted to defeat me as a Yangcheng soldier. , I want to let them know how powerful I am, come here, gather soldiers and horses, and go out of the city with me to fight."

Han Yi didn't take Tang Jun seriously, he was not a shrewd person.
