Chapter 608 One mountain cannot accommodate two tigresses
The frost is early in Saibei,
This winter is another disaster year for the grasslands.
In contrast, in the past two years of the Tang Dynasty, things were going smoothly and the government was harmonious, while in the Turks there was discord between the emperor and his ministers, rebellions among tribes, and constant disasters.
It seems that God is helping Datang.
In the court hall, in the alleys, and in the entire Chang'an, the Turks have been sentenced to death. No one anymore thinks that the Turks, who could still drink Mawei water three years ago, are worthy of being the opponents of the Tang Dynasty.
Everyone thought that this was just a matter of easy capture. After all, Jie Li Qingguo invaded three years ago and was repulsed by the saint. Last year, Wu Huaiyu only used Youzhou soldiers to beat him to death. Now there is a six-pronged attack.
It means going straight to the enemy's point.
Before leaving Beijing, Wu Huaiyu entered the palace to attend the last military meeting.
From the emperor to Li Jing, to Chai Shao, Li Daozong, Li Jicheng, Cheng Yaojin, including Wu Huaiyu, they were actually more cautious. For them, this war was
Offense and defense change shape,
This was a war of annihilation involving active troops sent outside the fortress. It was different from the defensive counterattacks during the Taketoku Dynasty. No one dared to underestimate the enemy.
Everyone acted like a lion fighting a rabbit.
After reconfirming the entire Northern Expedition plan, the emperor happily took everyone to the Forbidden Garden to shoot deer.
Forbidden Garden BBQ.
Wu Huaiyu was in charge of the barbecue, and Tuli Khan helped him.
Li Shimin was skinning the deer with a knife, and he moved very skillfully. Qin Qiong cut it into pieces, Cheng Yaojin used an ax to chop the bones, Li Ji cut the meat, Hou Junji and Zhang Liang were cleaning the internal organs.
Li Daozong was lighting the fire, and Chai Shao was helping.
This may be the most highly regulated barbecue group.
Changsun Wuji is adjusting the marinade.
"Don't waste deer blood," Huaiyu said with a smile,
Cheng Yaojin said, "Make some deer blood wine."
He picked up a handful of willow branches and strung them around. This guy originally wanted to go to Hebei to attack Wu Huaiyu, but who knew that now he has become the Governor of Andong, the Governor of Yingzhou, and even now the Sixth Route Army of the Northern Expedition?
The general manager of Changwu Dao.
You must know that in the initial six-route Northern Expedition, there was only one road in Hebei. It was originally Lingzhou Road and Liangzhou Road, but now the Hexi Road has been canceled and changed to Liaoxi Road.
Lao Cheng smiled from ear to ear all day long.
As the general manager of the Sixth Route Army, there were so many generals in the Tang Dynasty, and Cheng Yaojin led them all alone. It was too embarrassing, and he had truly secured his position as a first-line general in Zhenguan.
"Bake some three treasures for Mr. Lu and make sure you have a good time."
Deer Bun and Deer Yao Deer Bao, paired with deer blood wine, is a great tonic.
"Give me some supplements for Uncle Bao. I, Old Cheng, will be strong."
Qin Qiong said with a smile, "I can't bear these. My bones are weak and I can't supplement my weakness. I can only nourish my stomach with millet and eat more green vegetables and tofu."
When Lao Cheng reached middle age, he was promoted and made a fortune, killing his wife and hooking up with a daughter of the fifth surname Cui.
Seeing Lao Cheng, Wu Huaiyu still didn't agree with this Uncle Cheng. After all, Sun was also his first wife and she had been with him for more than twenty years. Now that he had just died, Lao Cheng not only refused to mourn his wife, but also devoted himself to it.
He was busy working as an official, and even continued to hook up with Mr. Cui,
"You can think of two wives at the same time," Lao Cheng admired the young man's boldness. Although many people did have two wives at the same time since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, without exception, they were all temporarily powerful ministers.
Praise and worship have no name, no court, no following, these,
But most people really don't have the ability to have two wives at the same time. After all, this is illegal in any dynasty, just like taking a concubine as a wife, spoiling a concubine and destroying the wife.
"Erlang, just wait. When the imperial censors find out, they will definitely rush to impeach you," he said and glanced at Hou Junji who was turning the deer belly. That guy is now the censor doctor, but
Not a good thing.
Wu Huaiyu smiled. He also knew that Junior Brother Hou had always been unkind to him, but he didn't care too much. With his current status and qualifications, Wu Huaiyu was not the emperor's suspicion yet. He was just the vanguard used by the emperor. The emperor would carefully protect him.
of.
"Ya Xiang, don't throw away the undigested grass juice in the deer's intestines. This is a good thing. It's made of premium Chinese medicine, also known as Baicao Ointment. I think Ya Xiang has been in poor health recently and has strong belly fire. Use it."
This Baicao ointment can be used as a medicinal diet, which can help you clear away the heat."
Hou Junji looked at the grass that had not been fully digested when he turned it over in his intestines. It was green and had a slight odor.
Cheng Yaojin said aside, "When I was the governor of Luzhou in the middle of Shu, the local barbarians liked to take out the grass residue from the intestines of cattle and sheep, filter out the liquid, add ox bile and seasonings, and slowly simmer it in a pot of boiling water.
After boiling, add thin slices of fresh beef and mutton, dip it in salt after cooking, and eat it, they call it beef and mutton."
"What Lu Gong mentioned is also a good medicine in traditional Chinese medicine, Baicao Decoction. Cattle and sheep eat hundreds of herbs, many of which are herbal medicines. Ox gallbladder is also a good-tasting medicine. It is well known that ox gallbladder is used as a medicine to clear away heat and relieve fire, so there are many Baicao Decoctions.
The effect of bezoar,
I heard that the barbarian leaders would kill cows and feed them fresh herbs such as Shouwu Kudzu, Kudzu root, Bupleurum mung beans and other fresh herbs. After feeding them for half an hour, they would kill the cows. At this time, the cows had not fully digested the herbs they had eaten.
, the best effect is to take it out and make a hundred medicine soup.
I see that the grass juice in the deer intestines in Ya Xiang's hand is quite fresh. I just need to make a deer herb paste. Strain out the juice, boil the soup, and add some venison. This will ensure that Ya Xiang will be effective as soon as he eats it, and his discomfort will be cured immediately.
."
Hou Junji looked at the deer intestines in his hand, as well as the incompletely digested grass and juice in the intestines, and was doubtful.
"Does Duke Lu have any doubts about Wu Shaobao's ability as a medicine king?" Cheng Yaojin asked with a smile.
"Is this stuff really unpalatable?"
"This is a medicinal herb, made into a medicinal diet."
Lao Cheng said from the side, "A white person and a yellow person can be used as medicine. Isn't it normal for this herbal ointment to be used as a medicinal diet? Don't the barbarians in Shu also use cows and sheep to make herb soup? It's the same reason."
Hou Junji has indeed been feeling unwell recently, his urine is yellow, and his mouth ulcers are severe. This is mainly because he also wants to participate in the Sixth Route Northern Expedition, and he also wants to be the general manager of the First Route, or the chief historian of the Northern Expedition.
He spent a lot of thought, including the dignified imperial censors and the prime ministers who participated in political affairs, but still didn't get the chance.
Seeing that the teacher Li Jing, whom he looked down upon very much, worshiped the prime minister and took command, his senior brother Wu Huaiyu also became the deputy commander of the Northern Expedition and the commander of the East Road. Senior brother Su Lie also became the deputy general of the East Road.
Even Li Daozong, Cheng Yaojin and others joined the battle, which made Hou Junji very unhappy and jealous.
He also found a doctor to prescribe medicine, but the effect was not very good.
Although the doctor said it was just a minor problem, the oral ulcer was really uncomfortable and it hurt even to talk.
Wu Huaiyu said that he would do it, and he actually instructed Hou Junji to collect the grass and juice that had not been fully digested in the intestines of several deer. After filtering, add bile, boil it in a pot, and after boiling, add green onion and ginger, and sprinkle it on
Add Sichuan peppercorns and pepper, then add thinly sliced venison,
A group of people looked at the pot curiously.
It had a slight odor when it was first cooked, but became very stinky after cooking. However, after boiling for a while, the odor gradually disappeared. After the seasonings and venison were added to the pot, it gave off a burst of fragrance.
Wu Huaiyu also made a dipping dish for Hou Junji, including salt and pepper, chopped green onion and pepper noodles.
"Ya Xiang, your medicinal herbal ointment is ready."
Hou Junji looked at the boiling venison in the pot and couldn't help but salivate.
"Is it really edible?"
"How dare I lie to Yaxiang?"
Li Shimin was also there urging Hou Junji to give it a try.
Hou Junji picked up the chopsticks, took out a piece of venison, dipped it in some salt, put it into his mouth, and ate it very carefully.
It has a slightly bitter taste in the mouth, a bitter aftertaste, a bit numb, spicy, and fragrant.
A variety of flavors are mixed, but very layered.
The venison is also very tender,
He couldn't help but stretched out his chopsticks and picked up another piece.
Then he stretched out his chopsticks again, picked up several slices, and even dipped a large handful in the soup.
"Is it so delicious?"
Cheng Yaojin was a little shocked. He originally thought that Wu Huaiyu did this on purpose. Although some people in Shu did use the grass juice from cow and sheep tripe to make soup, they were barbarians after all, and some tribes even knew how to do it.
The internal organs are deliberately pickled to cause maggots to grow, which are called meat shoots, thinking they are delicious.
"It tastes fragrant and bitter. You will feel clear and refreshing immediately after eating it. It is full of flavor. Yi Guogong is really amazing. This Deer Baicao Herbal Medicinal Diet is really amazing."
