Destiny Only Han

Chapter 258 Liu Ying: The Kun is so big that it can't be stewed in a pot!

Jiaodong County, Wei County.

This kite capital in later generations is still very poor because the land building has not yet been completed, and many places are saline-alkali lands eroded by sea water.

After Han Xinbing took Linzi without bloodshed, he didn't stop at all, and immediately led his army south to pursue Qi Wang Tianguang who had fled to Gaomi.

But the reason why the army is stagnant here at this moment is because the scouts reported that Xiang Talong led 20 troops and had joined Qi Wang Tianguang.

Item it, Han Xin's old acquaintance.

When Han Xin attacked the Western Wei State, Xiang Ta was Wei Bao's infantry general, but he ran too fast after the defeat and did not capture him alive.

But another reason why Han Xin is very familiar with him is that Xiang Ta is Xiang Yu's nephew...

Well, it is very common in big families that nephews and uncles are the same age, or even older than each other.

Han Xin was not afraid of the defeated generals under his command, the only one he feared was the deputy general of the Chu army, Long Qi.

As the halberd bearer in the past, Han Xin knew the generals in the Chu army very well. Although Long Qie was not as good as Yingbu Huan Chu, he was not so easy to deal with.

More importantly, the Chu army is currently sending 20 troops. Although there is a lot of water in it, there is also a lot of water on my side...

Well, the Han army actually recruited 20 soldiers, and it also claims to be [-]...

But at this moment, Han Xin wanted to protect the supply line in the rear, leaving many Han troops stationed along the way.

This time, only [-] Han troops followed him to attack Tian Guang.

However, the most elite Langzhong cavalry is also in the sequence of this battle.

This is the trump card that Han Xin holds in his hand, but before the truth of the Chu army is ascertained, the Langzhong cavalry needs to avoid the battle.

Han Xin, who has always paid attention to the number of temples, began to send out cavalry to investigate, not only to spy on the military situation, but also to control the surrounding mountains and rivers.

Within a radius of hundreds of miles, Han Xin turned into a spider and opened a big web, ready to catch Tian Guang and Long Qiexiang it all.

Unlike Han Xin, who was so busy at the moment, Liu Ying was relaxed and comfortable, walking on the beach with the tide receding.

He came to catch the sea...

At this time, the sea was not polluted by industry. Although the seawater near the sea was still very turbid, the products were far more abundant than after overfishing in later generations.

As far as the eye can see, razor clams, cat's eye snails and small crabs are everywhere.

But Liu Yingzhi is not here, his goal is the single-ringed thorn...

Well, it's sea sausage.

This is a kind of fetish that the masters of Shandong cuisine kept secret before the industrial production of monosodium glutamate.

Dry it and grind it into powder, hide it in the sleeves, sprinkle a little before cooking, it is enough to amaze everyone!

Barefoot on the side, Xiao Lu watched Liu Ying running on the beach, although his face was full of helplessness, but he could only carry the wooden barrel and followed Liu Ying closely.

In his opinion, to dig these weird things, just find two local folks, and there is no need to do it yourself.

You see, the clothes are dirty again, aren't they?

Well, as the prince's family order, he is responsible for Liu Ying's dress on weekdays, and when he followed Liu Ying to Han Xin's army, Xiao He also specially instructed him to be humble and diligent in daily work.

So, Xiao Lu, who couldn't figure out how to be diligent, took the initiative to cover the laundry matter...

Liu Ying, who was busy picking up seafood in the basket, didn't bother to pay attention to Xiao Lu's little thoughts.

After staying in the inland area for a long time, he wanted to go to the beach to have a look.

Not for anything else, just want to see the sea.

Suddenly, Liu Ying slowed down and stared blankly at a dark object in the distance.

At first, he thought it was just a large reef on the coastline, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt wrong.

So he started running there.

Sure enough, as he guessed, it was a stranded whale!

Well, actually whales are not fish.

Liu Ying stood beside the whale, staring at the big guy like a hill in a daze.

Still alive, but obviously not alive.

Even in later generations, it is very difficult to throw a stranded whale back into the sea.

Therefore, in line with the principle of not being violent, Liu Ying turned around and grabbed Xiao Lu who was lying on the spot.

"Don't look at it, let the two go back and report, and the others will wait here with me..."

Liu Ying's idea is very simple. If the whale can swim back by itself after high tide, then let the other party survive. If it can't swim back, or die before then, then divide and eat the meat!

The big guy in front of him is conservative and weighs about ten tons, which is enough for all the soldiers of the Han army to eat for a long time!

Although Liu Ying has never eaten whale meat, I don't know if it is delicious, but after all, it is meat!
Not long after, when Han Xin and Cao Shen arrived after hearing the news, what they saw was a bloody and greedy scene.

Liu Ying of "Gentlemen far away from the kitchen" stayed far away, commanding the strong men in the army, splitting the thick skin of the whale with an axe, and cutting pieces of dark red meat.

"What a big fish! Your Highness is truly blessed..."

Cao Shen came to Liu Ying's side in amazement, his brows brimming with joy.

Although he also didn't know whether this kind of meat was delicious, but such a huge supply of meat could just boost the morale of the Han army before the war.

This is exactly why he said that Liu Ying is blessed.

Just play around on the beach, and you can meet a mountain-like big fish to come to your door to deliver meat!

In grief, Liu Ying wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, and raised her head proudly.

"A whale is not a fish..."

Han Xin, who was also walking towards Liu Ying, was fascinated by the scene where the soldiers in front built sand into dams to prevent the sea from washing the whales.

"The dam...the dam...there is it!"

He suddenly looked at Liu Ying, and said in agreement: "Don't care if it's a fish, but Your Highness is really blessed!"

Liu Ying glanced at Han Xin. Based on her understanding these days, this guy has always written his thoughts on his face. Therefore, Liu Ying basically understood why the other party would say such a few words without thinking.

Well, it was actually Liu Ying's prophetic nature that broke out.

Historically, Han Xin’s method of defeating the Chu army who resisted Han and aided Qi was to lure the opponent across the Weishui River after feigning defeat, and then open the upstream dam...

Therefore, Liu Ying put her hands behind her back and made an inscrutable expression: "Very good, you finally realized..."

Cao Shen looked at Liu Ying, and then at Han Xin, who looked surprised. His head was full of confusion, and he had a feeling of being an outsider in a trance.

Han Xin frowned and asked, "I've realized it? What does Your Highness mean by this?"

Liu Ying continued to act like a magic stick and said: "You and I each write in each other's palms, and after that, everything will be clear..."

Han Xin nodded thoughtfully, and immediately began to make gestures with Liu Ying's extended hand.

Cao Shen looked left and right, feeling even more suspicious.

In a short time, Han Xin was shocked first, then slowly an expression of ecstasy appeared on his face, and finally he looked up to the sky with a long smile, and strode away into the distance.

"It's hard to find a confidant, I believe that I will meet His Highness in this life, and my wish is enough..."

"Where is the general going?"

"Return to the camp, destroy all!"

Hearing Han Xin's reply, Liu Ying let go of her hanging heart a little.

He was really scared before that Han Xin would laugh and leave, saying that since Shengying, He Shengxin and the like would leave...

Fortunately, Han Xin's utilitarian heart is still very strong, but after feeling a lot, he still remembered his own job.

Looking at Han Xin who was going away, and Liu Ying who was holding his hands behind his back like a master, Cao Shen felt uncomfortable like scratching his heart and lungs.

Riddler, what can I say?

It's time to die!
…………

In the evening, bonfires flickered in the camp of the Han army, like stars in the sky.

The cold wind mixed with a faint smell of the sea blows, and the air is filled with the aroma of stewed meat.

Amidst the laughter, everyone was shouting Liu Ying's name.

That gigantic whale cut tens of thousands of catties of meat, enough to feed the 5 people here!

The important point is that this is an additional reward and does not count towards their daily meat quota!
Well, before the Song and Ming Dynasties, the food for the army was very good. Not only was there enough food and pickles, but also a special part of their salary was for them to buy wine and meat.

Moreover, it was already winter, and all animals had a thick layer of fat stored in their bodies, and that whale was no exception.

Although whale meat has a rough taste, it actually tastes good if it is cooked with a lot of fat.

Well, the overall taste is similar to fishy beef...

Stewed with strong spices such as dogwood and pepper, you can eat two bowls of rice just by smelling it!
The Han army was full of joy and laughter, but the Qi army on the other side of the Wei River was full of gloom and panic.

The reinforcements from the Chu army arrived, but under the usual arrogance of the Chu people, not only did the Qi army serve like cattle and horses, but also food, grass and other supplies also needed to come from Qi.

This is just the anger of ordinary Qi soldiers.

At this moment, Qi Wang Tianguang looked at Xiang Talongqi who was facing him, and his heart was filled with humiliation.

The rescue of Qi by the Chu army not only requires the Qi people to submit and become Chu's servants, but also puts forward another condition for it.

After the Han army retreated, half of the land was cut into the territory of Chu State!

Reject tigers at the front door and enter wolves at the back door.

This is the thought that Tian Guang can't get rid of at the moment.

But the matter has come to this point, he can only agree to Xiang It's request, sign the letter of credence, and affix the national seal.

However, Tian Guang is just a plan to delay the attack.

In the past, when King Xiang of Chu was a hostage in Qi State, he also promised to cut half of the country, that is, five hundred miles of land, to Qi State in order to return to the country and ascend the throne.

But after he returned to China, he listened to the opinions of the domestic ministers, on the surface he fulfilled his promise and gave the land to Qi, but secretly he sent people to guard the city, and as long as Qi people came to ask for it, a national war would start!
Moreover, he even had a third preparation, which was to ask for help from Qin, who had detained his own father, King Huai of Chu...

At this time, Tian Guang had the same plan in mind.

After the Chu and Han battles, both sides were injured, and Qi State had the ability to control the general situation of the world.

In this way, in the end, he didn't just say what he said?
