The same plant was called okra in the Tang Dynasty when it was planted in June and July, but it was called winter amaranth when it was planted in August and September.
It also has another name, sunflower. In Zuo Zhuan, Confucius once used it to talk about it. Bao Zhuangzi was not as knowledgeable as sunflower, but sunflower can still defend its feet. The reason for saying this is that okra tilts its leaves towards the sun to cover its roots, so later
There is the idiom "Kwai Huo Xiang Sun".
This dish tastes very bitter and slippery, similar to eating dandelions, and has a bit of the slippery feel of later generations of okra.
"I heard that if you are bitten by a dog after eating this, it will be difficult for the wound to heal, and you may even die easily. Why don't you eat it?" Chen Xing looked at the fresh okra stems and leaves and said.
"It's nonsense. After all, you are a soldier in the hospital camp. Don't say such ignorant things outside and make people laugh. This okra is really not very delicious when fried. You can just boil it and eat it with some sauce.
, garlic paste, minced ginger, chopped green onion, salt, dogwood, and Sichuan peppercorns are mixed into the dipping sauce. The tender green okra stems and leaves are very delicious when blanched. "
The rumor that people bitten by dogs after eating mallows would not heal easily or even lead to death was said by Zhang Hua of the Jin Dynasty. He wrote a natural history, which is a novel about strange things and is also the source of various rumors. Of course, this
It is also the earliest book to record the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a fantasy novel. For example, in it there is a story about a monkey in the mountains of southern Sichuan using a long rope to lure a beautiful woman on the thieves road to become his wife.
A kind of drunkenness that lasted for a thousand days, and I woke up after being buried for three years...
In comparison, if you eat mallow and get bitten by a dog, you will die, which is nothing.
"I wait until my peppers are ripe and dried, then roast them and grind them, then stir-fry the peppercorns and salt into salt and pepper, and make a dry dipping sauce with the chili powder. It's a unique dip for this kind of boiled vegetables," Huaiyu said.
I can already feel the muscle memory of chili peppers in my mouth and tongue, and my mouth is watering involuntarily.
Just as I was savoring chili noodles and hot pot, there were suddenly the sounds of rapid footsteps outside.
"General Manager, the Chang'an Angel has arrived outside and asked you to come to the General Manager's Mansion quickly to listen to the decree." Xin Zhao rushed in, "You also have a share in the decree. You must be promoted to an official position!"
Huaiyu put down the okra, purple eggplant and cucumber in his hand and rushed to the temporary governor's house in Chaishao, north of the city.
When he arrived, the generals had already gathered in the governor's office.
The person who came to announce the decree was Lu Kuan, the eunuch of the palace, and the one who escorted him was Baiqi Wu Huaiyi.
The eunuch of the palace came to Longyou in person to convey the order. Two major events happened. One was not long ago, that is, on June 25, Li Yuan, King of Lujiang, the governor of Youzhou, received the order from the crown prince to recall him to the capital.
, not only did he not follow the order, but he detained Cui Dunli, the general secretary sent by the prince, and interrogated the capital. He sent troops to recruit troops, and summoned Yanzhou governor Wang Shen and his relative Wang Junkuo to discuss rebellion.
Wang Junkuo pretended to conspire, secretly mobilized troops to kill Wang Shen, and then led his troops to capture Li Yuan and strangle him to death. He asked Cui Dunli to send him back to Chang'an and report to quell the rebellion.
This incident shocked Chang'an. Although Wang Junkuo eventually put down the rebellion, Li Yuan still rebelled as a member of the Li Tang clan. Especially Wang Shen, the governor of Yanzhou, participated in the rebellion. He was an old subordinate of Yanwang Li Yi who stayed in Youzhou, and now the court has granted him a title.
Wang Junkuo was the general in charge of the left army and the governor of Youzhou. On the one hand, he gave Li Yuan all his property and population, but on the other hand, he became more and more distrustful of Li Yi in Jingzhou.
In fact, the court's concerns were not wrong.
Li Jing guarded Xiaoguan, Luo Yi guarded Jingzhou, and Zhang Jin guarded Binzhou.
These three generals would have been able to defend the front line of the Jinghe River Valley without any loss. However, the problem was that Li Yi was originally a close friend of Jiancheng and a rebel king who separatized Youzhou in the late Sui Dynasty. He had been holding back his troops since the Xuanwu Gate Rebellion.
Zhang Jin was also a general in the former dynasty, and was later regarded as a confidant of Emperor Li Yuan. He ran away after the entire army was wiped out in the Battle of Taigu in Hedong last year, but the emperor still asked him to guard Binzhou and command the Tianji Army and Li Yi's Tianjie Army.
Echoing each other from a distance.
"Tujue Jieli, Tujue troops have entered Jingzhou, the situation is critical!"
The palace eunuch Lu Kuan, who was wearing a purple robe and jade belt, had a worried look on his face, and could not care less that the dusty journey had brought him bad news.
"This is impossible!" Chai Shao found it difficult to accept this sudden crisis.
After all, it has been Li Jing of Xiaoguan and Chai Shao of Longyou who have been under great pressure from the Turkic army during this period. Others, such as Li Daozong of Lingzhou and Li Youliang of Liangzhou, have been beaten to the point where they cannot defend the city.
Go out and let the Turks go as if they were in an uninhabited land.
Jingzhou is guarded by King Li Yi of Yan, and he has a large number of soldiers and horses. Although Jingzhou has no special mountains and rivers to occupy, as an important passage to the north of Guanzhong, Jingzhou has long built a large number of city fortresses, such as
Zhecheng City and Lianyun Fort, etc.
What's more, there is a gate guarded by Xiaoguan in the north of Jingzhou.
"Jieli, how did Tuli get into Jingzhou? Could it be that Li Yi invited them as guests?"
To the north of Jingzhou is Yuanzhou, and at the northern end of Yuanzhou is Xiaoguan.
"The second Khan entered the southwest of Yuanzhou from Huizhou, bypassed Xiaoguan, the northern gateway, and went straight to Jingzhou. The general route was Huining, Xiwating, Pingliang, Yinpan, and went straight to Anding City in Jingzhou," Lu
Kuan Dao. "This is also the route he took when he invaded Japan in the seventh year of Takeru."
"As for Li Yi, shouldn't his Tianjie Army be guarding Muxia Pass, Liupan Pass, Xiwating and other places in the south of Yuanzhou, especially Danzheng Gorge and Huating line? Last year, he was asked to increase the number of troops to defend.
Why did they let the Turkic army fight all the way to Jingzhou City?
Where are the soldiers at the fortresses of Lianyun Fort and Zheqian City?" The last time the Turks invaded Jingzhou from Pingliang and Yinpan, the imperial court later built additional gates and garrisoned troops and horses on that line.
Lu Kuan let out a long sigh.
Chai Shao's face was red and purple, "Where is Zhang Jin and his Tianji Army? Is he watching a show in Binzhou?"
Li Yi concurrently served as the governor of Jingzhou, and his Tianjie Army also guarded the various cities in the southern part of Yuanzhou. However, the Turks now took a difficult road from Huizhou and passed many dangerous passes. It was as if they were in nowhere.
Those who are in the human realm arrive at the foot of Jingzhou City.
Especially since this was the route the Turks took when they invaded Jingzhou two years ago.
Li Jing's defense in the north is impervious to wind and rain, but what's the use?
He, Chai Shao, fought tooth and nail in Longyou, even risking being annihilated by the Turks, taking the risk to defeat Tuyuhun first, racing against time.
As a result, what was supposed to be a solid rear area was now left open to let thieves into the house.
Li Yi, the one who killed a thousand swords.
Everything is very clear. No matter how Li Yihui defended himself to the court, his refusal to fight allowed the Turkic army to advance into Jingzhou.
boom!
Chai Shao was so angry that he hammered the table with a loud bang and called Li Yi a traitor.
Below, the four brothers of the Xue family who were once generals under Li Yi bowed their heads in shame and remained silent. Everyone could see that Li Yi did this on purpose.
I remember that during the previous dynasty, Li Yi was still called Luo Yi. When he was guarding Youzhou, he often took the initiative to lead the Youzhou cavalry deep into the Saibei grassland. The Turkic tribes who were often killed fled everywhere. Now Li Yi is guarding the important city of Xiongguan, but he opens the door to the thieves.
Luring the wolf into the house.
Not to mention the overwhelming number of Turkic troops, Li Jing, Chai Shao and Li Jing were always at the front. They never thought of giving up and always wanted to keep the Turks out of Guanzhong.
The efforts of the past six months have now come to nothing.
Xiaoguan and Longguan were originally two excellent gates, guarding the two easiest roads to Guanzhong. The Tang army tightly guarded these two gates. Although the Turkic army was numerous, it was difficult for them to invade in large numbers.
On the front line of Hui, Yuan, and Jing, the imperial court originally deployed the Tianji and Tianjie armies, and they have been moving troops from the rear. Based on the terrain, they can keep the Turkic army out of the pass. The Turks want to attack from this line.
It will be more difficult to come in than from Xiaoguan and Longguan.
Although Jingzhou is still in Li Yi's hands now, it is a flat area with many fortresses. But since Li Yi has let the Turks in, it is even less likely that he will try his best to intercept them.
No one could stop the Turkic cavalry from rushing towards the plains of Guanzhong and towards the city of Chang'an.
Everyone looked pale.
Letting Turkic soldiers surround Chang'an is a shame that all military men cannot imagine and cannot accept.
Chai Shao was so angry that he drew his sword and cut the long case into two pieces. The handsome bearded commander, who had always had an extraordinary bearing, suddenly lost his temper.
Huaiyu was also confused.
He had also thought about this on his way to Longyou earlier. Even in history, the Turkic army did reach Chang'an and Weibei, but Chai Shao had never heard of a major defeat in Longyou.
He originally thought that the Turkic army defeated Chai Shao at Longyou, or Chai Shao was forced to retreat into Guanzhong. Now it seems that Chai Shao can still fight, but Li Yi betrayed Datang.
Although Li Shimin had been wooing Li Yi after the mutiny and even granted him the rank of Kaifu Yitong Third Division, it was obvious that Li Yi did not believe Li Shimin.
In Youzhou, Li Yuan and Wang Shen were killed for their rebellion, which may have been the last straw for Li Yi. Wang Shen was his old confidant and even a relative. And Li Shimin had just transferred his title of general to the Twelve Daoists.
Switching the general's position with someone else irritated the hero even more.
Li Shimin even killed the real king of the clan, so he would still keep him as a fake clan member?
He did not choose to rebel, but let the Turkic army enter the pass.
Isn't this the Tang Dynasty version of Wu Sangui who led the Qing army into Shanhaiguan?
Li Yi did not want to fight, but Zhang Jin did not dare to fight.
Zhang Jin was defeated by the Turks last year, and now he cannot hold Binzhou at all.
"What is the purpose of His Highness the Crown Prince? What should we do if we go to Longyou camp? Should we return to support Chang'an, or should we continue to guard Longyou?" Chai Shao asked Lu Kuan through gritted teeth.
Lu Kuan took out the prince's warrant.
Faced with such an unfavorable sudden crisis, Li Shimin remained calm, at least he did not panic. He told Chai Shao that he had always relied on and trusted his brother-in-law. Now that Jieli Tuli had arrived in Jingzhou, there was no need to panic and let Chai Shao continue.
Lead the Longyou camp to guard the main channel of the Weihe River Valley.
"There is Qin Shubao in Xianyang, Yuchigong in Jingyang, Cheng Yaojin in Xinfeng, His Royal Highness the Prince personally controls Chang'an, and His Highness asked General Manager Chai and General Manager Li to guard Xiaoguan and Longguan, the two gates of Longguan. This time, we
We need to close the door and beat the dog so that Jieli and Tuli will never come back!"
The prince's order is full of domineering power. No matter whether it can be implemented or not, at least it will not panic the frontline soldiers.
Li Shimin asked Lu Kuan to hurry up and deliver the order, not only to report the enemy's situation, but also to commend the officers and soldiers of Longyou. They had done a very good job in defense in the past few months, especially after taking out Tuyuhun.
The more it is at this time, the more rewards you get, and you have to do it in a timely manner.
Chai Shao was promoted to a high official, his two sons were also promoted to Sanshi rank, and many farm and house slaves were given to him.
The other generals who have made meritorious deeds will also be rewarded.
Huaiyu heard his name, and he had also made meritorious service in inspecting the camp for sick children. The imperial court not only approved Chai Shao's promotion to Huaiyu, but also gave him additional rewards.
Cavalry Lieutenant, the basic rank of San rank is increased by one rank, and he is promoted to Wenlin Lang from the ninth rank.
In addition, two slaves were given, a hundred acres of farmland in Longyou, and a hundred bolts of silk.
