24, the third love 6
This broad valley stretches almost as far as the eye can see, and what's even more surprising is that it's actually full of food.
There are hundreds of yellow sheep that fell from the mountain. Each of these yellow sheep that are preparing for the winter is fat and strong, weighing more than one hundred kilograms. The total is tens of thousands of kilograms of meat. Not counting this, this
The hares and goats in the valley can be caught almost as soon as you reach out...
"General, there is a large lake in the valley. It has nothing to do with the hot springs around the valley, but it is connected to the river outside. The fish sticks in it are more than a foot long!" A scout who went to investigate the situation came back with an excited face.
"Not only that, General, there are thousands of white geese on the lake!" Another person also said.
"What nonsense are you talking about? That's not a big goose at all, but a swan." Bei Junfeng saw those swans soaring into the sky, and for a moment he felt that a big stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground.
Now, he only needs to look for the food called "potatoes"... Bei Junfeng got off his horse, reached out and pulled up a familiar plant next to him, and then saw that under the uprooted plant, there was
There are still two yellow stem pieces the size of eggs. Not to mention, there are still many stem pieces exposed in the soil below that have not been taken away.
The big ones are about the size of Bei Junfeng's fist, and the small ones are no more than the size of a fingernail. They are densely packed in the soil, and they are undoubtedly potatoes.
"General, what is this?" Po's fat face was swollen, but he was still in high spirits.
"This is something that can satisfy your hunger. The yield per mu is extremely high, so it can be called a potato." Bei Junfeng said.
"Potato? It can be called a potato when it comes out of the soil, but it is bigger than a bean and bigger than an egg. In fact, it can be called an earth egg, right?" Po said subconsciously.
At this moment, I don't know which soldier touched the bushes nearby, and a group of pheasants suddenly flew out. After a few flutters, another one landed on Po's head.
This scene made Bei Junfeng laugh on the spot, but he probably didn't know that many years later, all this would be described in history books as "When the general arrives in Taoyuan, livestock descends from the sky, potatoes grow from the ground, cranes dance, and phoenixes greet him."
”.
This valley is a treasure, and Bei Junfeng and his soldiers found such a place, which almost confirmed his identity as a god descending to earth. The expressions of the 10,000 soldiers looking at him were not just admiration, but
Facing this magical valley, they were also cautious and did not dare to damage it at all.
Bei Junfeng was happy to see this situation happen. He had people set up camp on the barren land near the hot springs at the edge of the valley. Then he had people dig out large tracts of potatoes neatly from south to north and light a fire for cooking.
The arrangement of ten thousand people took some effort, but fortunately these people all followed the rules and regulations, and it was in an orderly manner.
All the yellow sheep were disemboweled, and the sheepskin was taken care of by special personnel. The mutton was taken outside and frozen in the snow and ice on the mountain, intending to take it back to the military camp. However, all the sheep heads, hooves, haggis, etc. were cleaned and chopped into pieces.
The small pieces were put into the pot and cooked.
The soup continued to cook for an hour, until all the meat on the sheep's head fell off. The cook took out the bones and began to divide the soup. The soup was divided together, and of course there was also the food named potatoes by Bei Junfeng.
Everyone was satisfied with a bowl of soup and two or three potatoes. In the meantime, some people found some wild garlic from the grass and ate it together.
The soup that Bei Junfeng drank was much cleaner than that of the soldiers. There was no mutton intestines with a slight smell. He drank two bowls in a row and ate three small potatoes to fill his stomach, and then began to command.
The men opened up the land where they had dug potatoes, dug out the weeds and the sheep manure cleaned from the belly of the yellow sheep, and then dug out the potatoes that had turned green or sprouted.
Divide them into several pieces, plant them one by one, and put a simple fence around them to prevent anyone from trampling on the seedlings.
In the following days, ten thousand people were searching for food in the valley. They caught fish, rabbits, and dug potatoes...
Potatoes that were smaller in size or dug out during digging, as well as fish heads, rabbit heads, and various internal organs were all eaten by these ten thousand people on the spot. As for the rest, the meat was frozen in ice and snow, and the potatoes were all put into the cart.
Just waiting to be taken back to the military camp.
A few days later, some people saw the deer licking the rocks on the north side of the valley. After discovering that the rocks there were actually salty, in addition to frozen meat, they prepared more salted meat and fish.
Although there are many things in this valley, they are not endless. When Bei Junfeng asks people to search for food, he is very careful and always stops in moderation. Especially for potatoes, he always digs out and plants them.
If they are not yet mature, they will not be dug up.
After half a month of this, the entire valley was finally searched by the soldiers, and they found enough food.
The cars he brought were all full, but Bei Junfeng did not dare to leave easily for fear of being besieged by the Turks. After thinking about it, he sent people back first, and then asked for an army of 20,000 to escort him.
The mighty army arrived at the military camp with a mighty convoy. After seeing the carts of fish and meat, the officers and soldiers in the camp were all surprised and delighted.
Before Bei Junfeng left, they all knew that Bei Junfeng was going to Xanadu to look for food, but many people didn't believe that Bei Junfeng could find it, but now...
That kind of food is impossible to get even if you intercept the Xiongnu camp!
Many of the soldiers who went to transport food this time had boiled potatoes with them. When they saw their colleagues, they took them out and threw them away. After those soldiers ate potatoes they had never seen before, they were even more ecstatic.
This is food they have never seen before, but it tastes great. Their general is truly blessed by God!
Abao had been paying attention to the situation around him. When he saw that the time was almost up, he suddenly dismounted and knelt on the ground again: "Long live the general! Long live the general!"
Bei Junfeng was a little frightened when he heard such shouting in the valley before, but now he is calm and composed.
He had already received news that Situ Herong was deploying troops and generals to conquer his traitor. Under such circumstances, of course he had to think more about his subordinates.
Surrender is no longer possible, so... establish yourself as king?
Of course, although he decided to proclaim himself king, he did not intend to go to war with Situ Herong. What he valued was the vast grassland in the north.
Situ Herong did not have the ambition or ability to go deep into the grasslands, but he could take a piece of meat from the Turks with his well-fed and well-fed soldiers.
Not only that, the Turks snatched countless women from the Qi Dynasty many years ago. If those women were taken back, his soldiers could have wives...
Without his loyalty and cautious love for Situ Herong, Bei Junfeng suddenly felt that his thoughts were extremely clear. He was even sure that if he could subdue the Turks who were acting in their own way and send his army south, it would not be difficult to change the dynasty...
…
It had been hundreds of years since the founding of the Qi Dynasty, and it was full of shortcomings. Even though Situ Herong was considered a wise emperor compared to the previous emperors, the country was already riddled with problems.
If not, the vassal kings in various places would not have the courage to rebel one after another.
The voice of "Long live, long live, long live" resounded throughout the entire military camp. Bei Junfeng suddenly jumped lightly and stood on top of the war horse: "Today I will have a big meal, and tomorrow we will march north. We must make sure that the Turks never stop...
Dare to go south! Take back everything that was taken away from us!"
"Send the army northward!"
"Send the army northward!"
"Send the army northward!"
