Destiny Only Han

Chapter 294 Zhao Tuo: If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing to worry about!

In the south of Yangxia City, Xiang Yu took a deep look back at Liu Bang at the head of the city, his face was full of reconciliation.

Langzhong's cavalry appeared on his flank, and smoke and dust rose from the east bank of the chasm, obviously a large army was approaching.

Xiang Yu knew very well in his heart that no army in the rear of the Han army was subordinate to him.

Then it must be Liu Bang's reinforcements.

However, unlike the flustered Chu soldiers around him, Xiang Yu, who liked to walk on the tip of a knife, was thinking about the possibility of fighting back.

According to the means of communication during this period, such reinforcements coming from different regions must not have a unified command among themselves.

At that time, when they enter the battlefield in batches, Xiang Yu will be given the opportunity to concentrate his attack on one point and tear the entire front of the Han army apart.

So Xiang Yu stayed where his horse was, and stared at it, until the sharp and piercing sound of gold clanging sounded from the camp of the Han army.

In an instant, the soldiers of the Han army who overflowed the camp in blackness quickly retreated like an ebbing tide, and returned to the newly repaired camp again.

Among the Han army, there are not only modular battle sheds, but also antler fences and other items, which are divided into several models according to different needs.

The advantage of standardized production is that you only need to find the corresponding number to directly replace the damaged part.

Through the defense of Xingyang in the past few years, the Han army has become accustomed to repairing and building defensive fortifications in strict accordance with the operating guidelines.

Seeing the retreat of the Han army, Xiang Yu was silent for a long time, he could only sigh helplessly, and then ordered his troops to withdraw.

Obviously, Liu Bang has no intention of fighting him now, and the reinforcements of the Han army have arrived. At this time, attacking the city again is not only a low morale, but also has no chance of winning.

The confidence of the Chu army's siege to the death before this is that they are equal in strength to the Han army, and the Han army does not have a strong city defense.

Nowadays, the city defense of the Han army has not changed, but with the arrival of reinforcements, the balance of troops will inevitably change.

It is a taboo for military strategists to fight without knowing the enemy.

As the Chu army retreated, Guan Ying, who was waiting in battle, also slowly approached Yangxia City.

The siege battle that lasted for several days finally ended with a strike on both sides.

But everyone knows that the peace at this time is short-lived, and perhaps in a blink of an eye, a decisive battle that will determine the general situation of the world will break out.

As the sun sets, the setting sun is like blood.

But in the camp of the Han army, the slaughter of pigs and sheep was full of jubilation.

In any case, they all belong to the winning side today.

The reinforcements who have been waiting for a long time have also joined forces at this moment.

In particular, the Eastern Front Army brought by Liu Ying and Han Xin was less than one-third of the vanguard troops, and the real main force could arrive within a day or two.

This is a large army of 30 people!
Thinking of adding Lu Guo and South Korea's troops, the total force will exceed 50, and all the soldiers of the Han army also felt a little dizzy even if they didn't drink.

Victory is at hand!
Well, after Liu Ying gathered 10 people from Peng Yue, he decisively divided his troops and sent some troops to the south to fully take over the Xichu County that had been taken down by Guan Ying Lu Wan and others.

It may not be possible to use the human and financial resources of these places for his own use in a short period of time, but if Xiang Yu can't use them, it will be a big victory!

Losing one point from the enemy is equivalent to gaining one point in disguise.

Anyway, it is said to be hundreds of thousands of troops, but limited by the size of the battlefield, in fact, only one-fifth or less than half of the soldiers that go into battle may be, and the rest can only be used as auxiliary troops to support logistics.

And in some bad terrain, even there is only one person fighting in the front, but ten people in the rear are required to provide protection.

It's just that Liu Bang, as a top5 military commander who doesn't show his mountains and dews, chooses the place for a decisive battle with the Chu army at the moment, which is the Yangxia Guling line on the east bank of the chasm.

With this artificial canal, even if the total strength of the Han army is 60 to [-], the logistical pressure is actually not too great.

After all, regardless of ancient or modern times, the difficulty of logistical support lies not in the reserves of materials, but in the conditions of the roads.

Therefore, the two sides facing each other in Pangong Lake are eating hot pot and singing songs on one side, while the other side can only be miserable...

Well, Gaixia is also located in the Honggou, a canal system that runs from north to south.

Based on this situation, Liu Ying, who knows the direction of history, made arrangements in advance to avoid troublesome things in the future.

But at this moment, Liu Ying, who was shuttling among the jubilant Han army, became an intestine hunter with all her heart...

In the pre-Qin period, limited by productivity and many spices were not well known, after slaughtering pigs and sheep, the internal organs were discarded.

After all, the smell of animal offal can't be handled well, it's really disgusting.

But the most important thing is that the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there is no shortage of meat, so I don't want to bother.

This is not why you should not eat minced meat.

The earliest documented record of eating offal on a large scale was in the Song Dynasty, when ordinary people seemed rich but were actually poor.

Poverty has led to not letting go of any edible part.

And the so-called saying that Europeans and Americans do not eat offal is also a rumor.

There used to be a best-selling book in the beautiful country called "Mrs. Basil's Philadelphia Recipe", which not only taught in detail how to cook with internal organs such as heart, liver, kidney, etc., but also "blank water", "filter blood foam" and "accumulate Lao Lu' these practices, which are advertised as the secret of Chinese food by the marketing account, are also readily available!
But there is no way, people's food industrialization is doing too well.

Almost all meat comes from large-scale farms. While centralized production reduces costs, corn is also grown on a large scale for feed.

As a result, the price of meat has been greatly reduced, which has also led to a high cost of sorting offal for sale.

Of course, the cost of meat in the beautiful country is low, and it is also because there are a large number of illegal immigrants smuggled from Mexico and other places as cheap labor.

Following Liu Ying at the moment, more than a dozen scooters were piled up with big intestines and kidneys and other things with a strong taste. As for the relatively light tastes such as heart, liver and lungs, they can be eaten after simple processing.

Running through the lower reaches of a stream in the city, Liu Yingbian rolled up his sleeves and started working.

As a lazy person, he called a group of chefs who followed him from Guanzhong to Linzi, and then from Linzi to Yangxia.

"Look, I only do it once!"

In the rushing stream, Liu Ying turned the large intestine over, first cleaned the mucus and impurities, and then sprinkled salt and flour on the large intestine under the distressed eyes of everyone, and continued to scrub.

"Just do this. If anyone is lazy and saves steps, I will let him eat big intestines for half a month!"

Liu Ying raised her head with a fierce look in her eyes, but it caused a burst of laughter among the crowd.

I never tire of food, but I never tire of fine food.

Although Liu Ying stayed away from this kind of behavior of eating raw meat, it did not prevent people in this period from liking it very much.

But big sausage?

Heavy taste is not such a heavy method!

After Liu Ying taught them how to clean the large intestine, he got up and left. He had another important thing to do.

Braised pig's head!
During this period, except for offering sacrifices to heaven, pig heads were eaten in the same way as ordinary meat.

Split and boil in white water.

Ruthless things!

Facing the pig heads lined up in a row, Liu Ying began to scald the hair with a red-hot iron rod.

Although the pigs at this time were black pigs, they were actually just black in hair, and the skin was still very white after the legs were haired.

Although the spices used in the stewed pig's head are not complete, the spices such as pepper, cinnamon, star anise, etc. are actually enough.

As for the soy sauce used for coloring, it is also very simple to make.

After all, during the Qin and Han Dynasties, the food culture of the Zhou Dynasty continued, and they had a deep understanding in the field of 'sauce'.

Soy sauce, not difficult.

As a result, in the marching pot with a diameter of nearly one foot, water splashed and a strange fragrance wafted into the nostrils.

Except for occasional flashes of strange light in the eyes of one or two pig-headed pigs who were dying against the backdrop of the fire...

When Liu Ying was busy, she met everyone, but Liu Bang, who was missing Liu Ying, couldn't help but searched everywhere.

Even if I don't go, Zining won't come?
Although this poem describes a couple, it is actually very appropriate for a proud old father.

So, Han Xin, Guan Ying, Zhang Liang and others followed Liu Bang on the road to find Liu Ying.

Until, they were attracted by the strange fragrance wafting in the wind, and saw the pig's head rolling in the cauldron, and Liu Ying standing aside.

At this moment, when faced with the attractive braised pork and his son reunited after a long absence, Liu Bang decisively chose the former.

He took out a small meat cutting knife from his pocket, and was going to taste the saltiness for everyone first...

Liu Ying grabbed his sleeve, with disgust on her face: "I'm not familiar with it!"

Liu Bang lowered his head, and he was very angry: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Liu Ying was stunned, and said in a low voice, "You didn't ask?"

Liu Bang suddenly got angry, and said like a machine gun: "I won't tell you unless I ask you? Just like just now, you came here to salute and then ran away? Which of us is the father?"

Liu Ying: "Why don't I make an apology for my father?"

Liu Bang was stunned, and the corners of his mouth raised upwards: "Big sausage? Do you want to eat Naigong's big ear scraper again?"

All right, you are amazing... Liu Ying silently took a step back, walking into the distance where she could be rescued by Zhang Liang at any time.

And Zhang Liang also smiled slightly, and stepped forward to round up the situation.

"It smells so good, but what special things are put in it?"

"Pepper, ginger, licorice, star anise..."

Liu Ying snapped her fingers like a treasure, and finally said with regret: "It's a pity that many spices from Nanhai County's tribute are gone, otherwise the taste can be improved to a higher level!"

Well, he made up that sentence.

But Liu Bang took the bait.

"I remember you asked Lu Jia to go to the South China Sea to discuss peace and trade with Zhao Tuo? Why? Didn't it work?"

Liu Ying nodded, and immediately said: "Success is success, but Zhao Tuo's price for this kind of thing is too high, and he is not willing to give up the price for this kind of monopoly..."

Liu Bang sniffed and looked south, with an inexplicable expression on his face.
