Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 762 Heroic Character
What is the world?What is Jiangshan?
There are rivers, mountains, rivers and land under the sky, but in today's world, who has the most rivers, mountains, rivers and land?Naturally, it should belong to Li Mi, the Duke of Wei. After the eight-pillar country, he rebelled several times.How miserable Daye was in defeat in eight years, and how famous he is now.

Although he was unattractive, with neither a beard nor a long beard, nor a handsome face, and a burly figure, but now this black-faced Guanzhong man almost relied on his own strength to make a comeback and conquered 22 counties with 60 troops.

His territory is the widest among the heroes of all walks of life, the largest number of soldiers and horses, and the largest population.

If Yang Xuangan had Li Mi's ability back then, he might have changed his dynasty long ago.

The most difficult thing is that, with so many soldiers and horses in the territory, he can still endure not being called emperor or king. Up to now, he is still only called Duke Wei.

This restraint is amazing.

"Wei Guogong accepts the order!"

A group of envoys from Liaodong brought the emperor's will to Li Mi, and the Liaodong court responded to his submission.

Li Mi was granted the title of Wei Guogong, and the three divisions of Fu Yitong and Shangzhu Kingdom were added. He was appointed as Taiwei and Prince Taifu, and he was granted the appeasement envoy of Henan Road, and he was also the commander of the four armies of the left and right Shenjie.There are [-] households in Shiyi, [-] households in Zhenfeng, and [-] mu of Yongye farmland.

Li Mi's Wei Army, the Liaodong court gave four military numbers, left and right, left and right, and left and right.

After announcing the conferment, the envoy brought four more white porcelain vases.

"This was specially given to Duke Wei by His Royal Highness King Qin."

Wei Zheng looked at the four white porcelain bottles, seeing that they could hold a bucket and were sealed, but he didn't know what was inside.

Li Mi was very afraid of the Zhongwu King who was far away in Liaodong, otherwise he would not have to submit a letter to the Liaodong court.

Li Mi's dental general Cai Jiande stepped forward, "What is this?"

The messenger opened it, but there were some seafood inside.

"This is the dried carp that was presented to King Qin by Wu Guogong Du Shuai, commander of the Jiangnan Xiongwu Festival."

Li Gongyi and other Wei Jun generals said disdainfully, "Isn't it just some dried sea fish? What's so strange about it? Could it be that I can't even eat dried fish?"

"Everyone, this is not an ordinary dried fish, please ask someone to fetch some water."

This squid is also known as rice fish and rice fish. The big ones can grow to several hundred catties.

In May and June, when the fish is at its peak, it is best to catch the fish from the sea in the archipelago off the west coast of Zhejiang, and then fillet the fish directly on the boat.Remove the skin and bones, take the fine meat and cut it into strands, and dry it in the sun as it matures. After three or four days, it will be extremely dry.

Then put it in a brand-new white porcelain bottle, seal the mud on the outside, keep it out of the wind, and store it for about two months. When you think about it, take it out, wrap the dried fish fillets in a cloth, soak it in water, and you can get fresh fish. Delicious as a slice.

"His Royal Highness King Qin specially sent a cook over to make this shredded fish for Wei Guogong."

The cook was very skilled, with superb knife skills, the dried fish fillet soaked quickly, and it really looked like fresh fish fillet. He used this fish fillet to make four dishes.

The chef cooks well, and the food is delicious.

The cook first tasted a little bit of each, and then presented it to Li Mi.

"Please Wei Gong to taste."

Li Mi picked up a chopstick for each dish, and found that it was surprisingly delicious.

Now he smiled and said, "When I was still a guard in the palace of the first emperor, there were sorcerers who caught sea fish in the pool water in the courtyard of the palace, but that was just an illusion, but now, this dried squid is a real It’s really amazing to be able to eat such fresh and delicious sea fish here, although Wu County is far away from here.”

Li Mi is not a country bumpkin, and he has paid for all kinds of delicacies, but Li Gongyi, Wang Dangren and many other Wei soldiers were just small local tyrants in counties and counties before, and they have never seen such a magical way of making dried meat.

"It's not indecent to come and go, the King of Qin gave me such a good thing, how can I not return it?" Li Mi waved with a smile, "Bring back the deer that I shot yesterday with my own hands, and return it to His Highness King Qin."

Luo Cheng sent Li Mi dried fish slices, and Li Mi returned Luo Cheng's venison.

Although many people don't understand whether there is any deep meaning in it, at least the two sides are in a harmonious atmosphere right now.Li Mi received the conferment from the Liaodong court. Although the official position was not as good as that of Yang Guang, he was only given a conciliatory envoy, not as good as Daxingtai Shangshuling in Dongnan Road, and he was not given such an important position as a prime minister. From the casual stage of Yipin.

But Li Mi wasn't really attached to him, so everyone just didn't mention it.

Li Mi's own army of 60 troops did not matter to Luo Cheng who only gave him four military titles and a staff of 10 troops.

The territory was won by himself, the army was recruited by himself, and all the generals were his, so Li Mi accepted the order with a smile.

The messenger left.

Li Mi kept the cook and asked him to cook all the dried fish.

In addition to rice dried fish, there are several kinds of dried fish.

Of course, dried rice and fish are the most delicious. Li Mi’s favorite is to cut the soaked fried rice slices into thin shreds, then put the fragrant soft leaves on top, stir them evenly with chopsticks, and then you can eat. , Abnormally delicious.

The body of this sea fish is not fishy, ​​especially this kind of rice fish, the meat is soft and white, with green leaves, white and green are distinct, and the color, fragrance and taste are complete.

This time, Luo Cheng also gave Li Mi [-] slabs of sea shrimp seeds from Yuhang County. Each stile was one village in length, width and thickness.

The cook said that to make this kind of sea shrimp roe, one must carefully select sea white shrimp with seeds, and put them into a sealed bamboo basket every three or five buckets selected, and then put the bamboo basket in a large one. Rinse the basin with water, and the shrimp seeds grow under the belly of the shrimp, which are red, like raspberries.With the falling water, it flows into the big basin from the gap of the bamboo basket.About one stone of white shrimp can get five liters of shrimp roe.After that, fish out the shrimp roe from the big basin.Use cloth to sew a small bag, as wide as a bamboo one and a half inches in diameter, and two feet long.Put the fished shrimp roe into the cloth bag until it is full, and quickly tie the mouth of the bag with a rope.No matter how many bags there are at a time, they are all sealed with powdered salt, and the thickness of the salt powder sealed around them is about several inches.After sealing it for a whole day and night, take out the cloth bag and put it outside to dry.At night, it is taken down and placed under the wooden board for pressing, and then dried again the next day.Press the sun in this way for ten days, and after seeing that it is completely dry, open the cloth bag, and you will get the shrimp roe.The color is like red glass, bright in color and plump in texture.

In addition, there are squid with belly, dried songhua perch 'golden navel jade', honey crab named 'squid with sword', etc.

Eating these unique Jiangnan and coastal delicacies, Wei will be an eye-opener.

"When the southeast is conquered in the future, I will definitely ask my lord to let me go to the land of Wuyue to be an official." Li Gongyi laughed.

"It won't be long." Li Mi said, "Where is Dou Jiande's army?"

"Dou Jiande came here to help with all his strength this time. He mobilized 30 soldiers and horses, claiming to be [-] troops. Now the forward has been stationed in Liyang, Ji County. Because the ice of the Yellow River is thawing in warm weather, soldiers and horses cannot cross the river directly, so ships are being recruited."

"This is something I expected a long time ago. The Yellow River is no longer a smooth path, but a natural danger." Li Mi said proudly.

"My lord, Dou Jiande sent a letter, requesting that our Wei army break the siege of the white horse and return to the east of the canal, and then the two families will use the Tongji Canal as the boundary to restore the original good-neighborly relationship."

"Hahaha, Dou Jiande is also a hero who occupies half of Hebei. Why do you say such ignorant words? Now that there are only one of us, how can there be reconciliation?" Li Mi laughed. "Pass down the order. While Dou Jiande is unable to cross the Yellow River for a while, we will attack the city with all our strength. We must take down the white horse and wipe out his [-] elite before he crosses the river!"
