Chapter 16 You can't kill people, but you can't kill dogs
Fortunately, Cheng Chumo stole a jar of grape wine and treated himself to a drink. When he took a sip, the warm wine made people feel angry, and he slapped Cheng Chumo's hand that was holding the bowl down.
"What a waste, how can you drink grape wine without ice?"
"Brother, I also know that grape wine tastes very refreshing after being chilled, but this is Longyou. We are here to suppress the Qiang people. Even His Majesty Lanzhou City is not allowed to enter, so we can only camp in the wilderness. Please let me go."
Where can I get the ice?" It could be heard that Cheng Chumo was also grumbling. He had no choice. His Majesty Li Er was planning to rectify the army at this time and would never let the army harass the place. It is estimated that all the soldiers in the Tang Dynasty were living in the same way at this time.
In the tent.
"It's a dream to live in the city, but it's still possible to get some ice. As long as you find saltpeter, I can get ice for you." Hearing what Yun Ye said, Cheng Chumo didn't even bother to ask how. He got up and went to the logistics camp.
, he remembered that there should be saltpeter there, and there was such a thing in the smoke. After a cup of tea, Cheng Chumo came back with a large bag of saltpeter. Yun Ye found a vat and poured all the saltpeter into the vat, pouring most of it into the vat.
Water, water and saltpeter reacted violently, and the water splashed and exploded from time to time. When the water surface stabilized, Yun Ye poured the prepared cold water into the copper basin and let the copper basin float on the water. After a while,
Under the gaze of Cheng Chumo's big eyes, white ice patterns began to appear on the water surface. After a meal, the surface of the water tank was covered with white ice, and the water in the copper basin also began to freeze. Cheng Chumo carefully touched the ice with his hand.
Face, took a breath of cold air: "Brother, how did you do it? It was freezing in the extremely hot weather in June. Who would believe it?"
"Shut up, don't ask if you don't know. Next year, our brothers will rely on it to make a fortune. You don't know that I am still a pauper." Cheng Chumo scratched his head, and as expected, he stopped asking. He always felt that his brother was going to make a fortune.
Money is not a difficult thing, and there is no need to prepare now. However, being able to drink ice-cold grape wine is the real thing.
The two brothers were lying on a high pile of hay, drinking refreshing iced grape wine to relieve the heat. The ice cubes jingled against the wall of the bowl. At this time, it sounded like a moving ditty. It made the two of them sing from the top of their heads.
Feeling so comfortable that no one wanted to talk anymore, they just looked at the stars in the sky in a daze. Cheng Chumo drained the wine in the bowl, took advantage of the coolness and fell asleep. After a while, thunderous snoring sounded. Yun Ye said
He sipped the wine in the bowl and looked at the Altair star beside the Milky Way with a wry smile. Could that be a true portrayal of himself? Legend has it that they meet one day a year, but he and his wife and children are separated by 1,300 years.
I was afraid that I would never see her again in this life after eighty years, so I raised the remaining wine in the bowl to Vega and said softly: "Take care." After that, he drank the wine dry and threw the bowl far away into the unknown darkness.
The Turks retreated, taking not only 30,000 Han slaves with them, but also His Majesty Li Er's promise of non-aggression. Chang'an's treasury was depleted of money and silk. These proud bandits left Yuanzhou and fled to Lingzhou.
Entering the vast grassland, Cheng Yaojin held His Majesty Li Er's handwritten letter in his hand and cried loudly. Twelve thousand soldiers in full uniform and armor prostrated themselves in front of the commander's tent. Several warriors wore their hair and face and asked to go to war, determined to wash away the Weishui Alliance with blood.
It brought great shame and humiliation. Cheng Yaojin and his deputy commander Niu Jinda cut their wrists and swore not to avenge this, and they swore not to be a human being. However, our army was weak, poorly equipped, with insufficient food and pay, and domestic rebellions continued. Tubo and Tuyuhun were eyeing them, and they were slightly dissatisfied.
Beware that the Tang Dynasty is in danger of overthrowing. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge within ten years. He will also honor us to wipe out the rebels in the country. When our troops are well-fed and well-fed, we will hunt the grasslands with you and fight to the death with the Turks. All the soldiers cried loudly.
For a time, swords were sharpened in the camp, and anger filled the world. In order to vent the anger of the army, the remaining Qiang people in Lanzhou and Suzhou were wiped out. In order to hunt down the rebels, the army soldiers
Entering Hezhou, Tuyuhun was heard. While the army marched to the border, envoys were sent to Chang'an to mediate.
Yun Ye has been running around the land of Longyou with the army, watching with his own eyes the Qiang people, a once glorious race, disappeared in the forest of ethnic groups. Except for a few Qiang people who escaped into the mountains and fled to the wilderness, the rest of the Qiang people were all killed, including women and children.
Being slaves and maidservants. It can be said that the entire Qiang tribe paid a heavy price for a moment of happiness. Seeing the destruction of a race with his own eyes brought a great spiritual impact to Yun Ye. The rise and fall of the ancients, the rise and fall of the night, can the Han nation be on earth?
It has stood for five thousand years. It has been destroyed by wind and rain several times, but it has sprouted new branches. How difficult it is and how lucky it is. And now, the Han nation will usher in a new round of climax. Yun Ye thought secretly, his own
Can Arrival compose the upcoming glorious chapter more perfectly?
Chariots were rattling, horses were rustling, passers-by had bows and arrows on their waists, dust was flying as the army marched, and the clatter of armor could be heard endlessly. Cheng Chumo's whole body was covered in bright light armor, which looked like a huge torch under the scorching sun, making people unable to open their eyes.
.Beside him, a horse put its head into the carriage of a carriage, seeming to be avoiding Xiao Cheng's light, but its wagging tail revealed its happy mood at this time. The maroon horse under Cheng Chumo's crotch looked at it with resentment.
With an empty Wangcai on his back, he lowered his head and continued to carry his heavy owner forward. Of course Wangcai had a reason to be happy. It was cold in the carriage, and a huge ice cube was exuding cold air. The heat outside the carriage was overwhelming, and inside the carriage
It was cool and pleasant. Yun Ye crossed his legs and hummed a tune, throwing a bean into his mouth from time to time. He lived a carefree life. Wangcai licked the melted ice water from time to time, and occasionally Yun Ye would grab a handful of beans and stuff them into his mouth.
Wang Cai said. One person and one horse seemed very comfortable in the torrent of the army. Yun Ye's carriage was followed by a long convoy. This was captured by General Cheng when he attacked the home of the Qiang people in Hezhou. Dozens of carriages were prepared.
The lamb skins, the money and goods have been divided? Sergeant, women, children and slaves have their own place to sell them, and the income will go to the treasury. Everyone in the army, from the general to the horseman, will benefit, so the morale is high. Yun Ye also has
The good thing is that ten carts of saltpeter that no one liked were taken. Hezhou is a saltpeter producing area. The saltpeter produced has high purity and few impurities. It is the best raw material for tanning hides. Originally, it could only be loaded with one cart. General Cheng was enjoying it.
After chilling the grapes, one cart turned into ten carts.
Cheng Chumo finally woke up from the sleepwalking state in which he first received the light armor. He felt as if his body was trapped in a steamer. Sweat flowed like a stream from the top of his head down his neck to his waist. His boots were full of sweat and the horse's back was also wet.
There was a large area. He looked back at Yun Ye's special carriage, and then looked forward to see that the Chinese army flag was half a mile away from him. He called Captain Guo Yi, who was leading the team, claiming that he needed to change his clothes, and asked him to be careful and resume work.
The most important thing was that when he saw the general, he needed to inform him. Wearing a bamboo hat and thin armor, Lieutenant Guo Yi looked sympathetically at Lieutenant Zhe Chong, who looked like he was fished out of the water, and said, "Everything is possible with me." Cheng Chumo
He patted his subordinate on the shoulder to express his gratitude and rushed into Yun Ye's carriage. The carriage made a creaking sound as it was overloaded. He kicked Wangcai's big head out first, and then hugged the piece of ice without letting go. Yun Ye picked up the piece of ice upon seeing this.
Putting the spout of the iced herbal tea into Cheng Chumo's mouth, he poured water for him like watering flowers. After drinking all the pot of herbal tea, a sound of extremely comfortable breathing came from Cheng Chumo's mouth.
"The Mingguang Armor is simply the best target on the battlefield. It can be called an attractor for feathered arrows. Who else would wear this thing on a hot day except for those who are hot-headed?"
Yun Ye glanced at Chen Chen with disdain, pulled out a cloth from behind and placed it on the guy's face.
"Brother, I am willing. I wanted to have one of the Mingguang Armor in the capital, but my father did not agree. It was too expensive to make it myself. I didn't expect to find one in Longyou. You don't know, Yuchi Dasha has one in Chang'an.
At that time, this guy dressed up to show off in front of us every day. He didn't take it off when eating. He pierced the food with a knife and brought it to his mouth. He also said that eating like this is the true nature of a man. Although he took it off after being beaten by his father, he still couldn't take it off.
After all, it makes me unhappy, brother. I finally got it today. How long will it take if I don’t wear it?" Cheng Chumo wiped his face and explained in a sullen voice.
"When you get to Chang'an, I will design a suit of armor for you. If you throw this thing away now, the carriage will be crushed. With such a heavy armor and your weight, how do you expect anyone to be able to carry it?
You fight? You are a general on horseback. Agility and speed are your strengths. Now if you put on this piece of trash, the horse will not be able to run very far. Without the horse, how much fighting power can you have?" Yun Ye said slowly.
Cheng Chumo persuaded Cheng Chumo. He untied the silk ribbons of his armor with both hands and took off his armor. Cheng Chumo was obviously much more relaxed. The eighty kilograms of armor were carried to the baggage carriage by the soldiers. He put on his short leather armor again and Cheng Chumo knocked it off.
A large piece of ice makes a crunching sound when you bite it, and you are not afraid of chipping your teeth.
Cheng Chumo got on the horse again. Although the sun was scorching, military law was ruthless, even if he was the son of a general. Yun Ye could lie on the carriage because he was not a military officer. Besides, he had crocodile syndrome, so the general allowed him to ride in the carriage. This is
When Longyou suppressed the rebellion, Zuowuwei served as a reserve force. Most of them were new soldiers and had never been on the battlefield.
This time I was brought to Longyou for military training. It was just right to use Qiang people to train Zuowuwei's new recruits. The appearance of the army, which had seen blood, was different from when they first arrived. When they arrived, the atmosphere in the army was very lively, and these recruits were almost all the way
We drove to Longyou with laughter, and now the army was marching out. The whole team was silent, except for the clanging of armor leaves and the thud of military boots hitting the ground. The blood-red Tang flag was fluttering in the wind.
