Chapter 424 Do you still remember Hanoi Fang Yue? 【Ask for monthly ticket】
Chen Meiliang took a bite of sweet and sour lotus root and said:
"If you have a good stallion, it will be easy to deal with the pedigree. It's not like native horse breeds have never appeared before. Didn't those old overseas farms always produce world-class horses... As long as you have a good stallion, these are not problems."
As he spoke, he looked at Li Yu:
"Does Boss Li have any connections in this field?"
Li Yu ate the crunchy crispy pigeon and said:
"I can help you ask, but it's hard to say whether I can find it yet."
You can't say too harshly, and the source of the stallion cannot be disclosed. Even if you really find it, it will have to be sent to the racecourse through Lin Xu.
In order to avoid unnecessary complications, only Lin Xu and Professor Zhou can be trusted 100% in the real world, and others cannot yet.
Chen Meiliang held the wine glass and said:
"Whether I can find it or not, I have to give a toast to Boss Li, thank you!"
Li Yu picked up the wine glass and clinked it with him. He raised his head and took a big sip. What he drank today was ten-year-old Wuliangye. It tasted very smooth. People like Li Yu who didn't touch liquor very much were fascinated by the aroma of the wine. .
As soon as he put down his wine glass, the restaurant manager brought a pot of roasted elbow. Lin Hongqi pushed it in front of Li Yu:
"Try it, this is the signature of the racecourse, specially taught by the Diaoyutai State Banquet Master."
The preparation of pot-roasted dishes is very complicated. Generally, they are boiled and then washed, then braised, cooled, then wrapped in batter and fried in a pot, and finally cut into pieces and served on a plate.
When you eat it, dip it in salt and pepper or chili noodles. The outside will be crispy and the meat inside will be tender and juicy.
Pot-roasted elbow, pot-roasted duck, pot-roasted lamb leg, etc. are all made in similar ways.
Li Yugang watched the relevant video shot by Lin Xu and saw the fried golden elbow, so he picked up a piece and put it into his mouth. The outer skin was really crispy and the meat inside was tender enough.
Moreover, the meat skin and lean meat still have two tastes. With salt and pepper, it tastes really enjoyable.
"This is so delicious, absolutely amazing!"
Seeing that Li Yu liked to eat, Lin Hongqi quickly asked the chef to make another portion and pack it back later to give it to the people at the B\u0026B.
Thinking that Marshal Mu had not come to dinner today, Li Yu was not polite.
After he was full of wine and food, he got into the car with the packed food. The racecourse specially arranged for someone to drive Li Yu's car back.
Passing by the Hanfu Factory, Wu Song got off the car and went to find Hao Zhenzhen.
After returning to the B\u0026B, I sent the driver off. As soon as I walked in the door, Mu Guiying came over:
"Where have you been? I came over to eat and found that you were not there."
Handing the packaged pot of roasted pork elbow to her, Li Yu told her the story of going to the racecourse.
"Wow, is there such a thing? When will the filming happen tomorrow? Can I also participate?"
"Okay, no problem!"
The girl opened the lunch box, took a piece of hot pot pork elbow and tasted it, and was immediately fascinated by the crispy texture:
"Prepare two more dishes, and I'll go find Master to eat them together!"
Li Yu came to the kitchen, cut a large plate full of pig tongues, washed some lotus root strips, cut them into hob pieces, blanch them in boiling water, and then put them in cold water to cool.
Mix half of it with pickled pepper water to make it hot and sour.
The other half is mixed with white vinegar + white sugar to make a sweet and sour taste.
There are two flavors in one dish, each one is super delicious, but according to Li Yu’s understanding of the characters in the book, the sweet and sour one should be the most popular.
Then he mixed some refreshing bitter chrysanthemums, made a fried sausage with garlic sprouts and a fried river shrimp, and let Mu Guiying take it to the world in the book.
Soon, the Wa Palace became lively.
Li Fengyang, Mu Guiying, Empress Sanxiao, Empress Houtu, and Empress Nuwa, a group of female soldiers sat around and started eating!
Worried about not having enough food, Yunxiao specially brought some braised chicken wings when he came, and Empress Houtu also brought fruits from the underworld.
Qiong Xiao usually talks a lot, but now when facing Empress Nuwa and Empress Houtu, she can't even use chopsticks.
Not to mention Bixiao, who lowered his head at this moment and only focused on eating the river shrimp in front of him.
Yunxiao said to Mu Guiying:
"Guiying, if you need me to take action, don't be polite. Although my magic power is not high, I can still handle some simple things."
Mu Guiying quickly waved her hand and declined:
"No, no, no, my husband said that you are involved in the cause and effect of the Great Tribulation of the Gods. Please let me not trouble you. Human affairs should be handled through the human world as much as possible. Do not interfere from the level of gods, so as not to cause chain reactions."
My empress has just made this request, so don’t let it fall on deaf ears, otherwise this little empress will blow your mind in front of Empress Zhou.
Alas, there are too many emperors, but only one queen, so you must pamper her as much as possible!
When Yunxiao heard this, he smiled softly:
"Yunxiao is very grateful that I miss you sir."
My silly sister, how come you still don’t know what sir means? Qiong Xiao on the side took a big mouthful of roasted elbow speechlessly. She really wanted to remind her, but she was worried that the time was not ripe yet, so she could only calm down in her heart. A sigh:
"It's definitely not a good thing to be too smart. I can no longer appreciate everyone's vulgar happiness. I really envy Bixiao, who only cares about eating."
Qiong Xiao acted like everyone was drunk but I was alone. She wanted to find someone to share her secrets with, but she was also worried that it would affect the relationship between her eldest sister and her brother-in-law... It was so distressing!
In the real world, Li Yu took a bath and was just about to play games when Yue Fei came:
"Sir, Taoist priest Xie rushed to Qilin Village from Zhending Mansion. Zhang San also sent the latest information from Tokyo. Cai Jing did not receive the confession from Zhending Mansion and plans to send a team to Zhending Mansion to investigate."
investigation?
I hope there are more people, otherwise it won’t be enough.
Li Yuzheng imagined the scene of Zhang Fei and the others tearing apart the investigation team, and suddenly realized a problem:
"If the people from the investigation team are prevaricated, can the occupation of Zhending Mansion be hidden for a while longer?"
This is the benefit of the lack of information. Even though Zhending Mansion has been occupied for several days, the governor and even a group of officials have been judged by the people, but the court in Tokyo knows nothing about it.
But it’s quite normal when you think about that world. In the original book, all kinds of commotion in Liangshan and various sieges of cities and territories have already taken place in Shandong and Hebei.
But the imperial court knew nothing about Liangshan. As long as Gao Qiu kept it secret, recruiting people for peace would be just extravagant thoughts.
Even if it was possible to rely on Su Yuanjing's relationship, in the end it was thanks to Mr. Li's support that he could settle the matter. When Yan Qing was working on this matter, he also secretly asked for a letter of pardon for himself.
No matter how the situation changes in the future, the prodigal Yan Qing will not be affected.
However, this guy did not avoid these things in the end. In "The Complete Biography of Yue Shuo", he appeared again as a bandit and was also involved in the controversy over Zhao Gou becoming emperor.
Since the timelines of the stories told in the two books are too close, it is said that a large number of characters and descendants from "Water Margin" appeared in Yue Zhong, such as Hu Yanzhuo who died fighting Jin Wushu, Ruan Xiaoer's son Ruan Liang, etc., which enriches the story. The role of Yue Shiji also attracted traffic from Water Margin.
The story of Yue Yue has been popular for a long time, and it is also related to the character of Liangshan.
People who like Water Margin will unconsciously want to see the ending of those who retired, saying that Yue will continue it for everyone.
Yue Fei said;
"After our discussion, we plan to do the same. Shenji Military Advisor plans to disguise himself as a passing businessman and go with the Cai Mansion's investigation team to observe their preferences at close range, so that Zhending Mansion can calmly plan their plans."
Those who are greedy will give money, those who are greedy will give food, and those who like women will... let Qiao Daoqing use illusion to make him have a long erotic dream.
As long as we get this team of people, the exposure time of Zhending Mansion can be postponed, and this deal is still very cost-effective.
If Zhu Wu goes, there is a high probability that this matter can be solved.
It just so happens that Xie Yingden can control the micro camera to take secret photos at close range, and he can definitely find the flaws of those people... If the plug-in for controlling objects is used, it will definitely be like a bug.
After talking about this matter, Li Yu asked:
"Is Niu Gao still adapting to the village?"
"He has adapted. The students have taken him to study. Niu Gao's mother has also joined the village's textile team to do whatever she can."
The atmosphere in Qilin Village is now high-spirited and all those who join will be involved in work and study unconsciously.
After Yue Fei finished his introduction and was about to go back, Li Yu said:
"The racecourse will be filming a horse riding video in the past two days. If you are not busy tomorrow and the day after, come over here and let's go together."
Although Yuwen Chengdu and Wu Song were enough, after all, they sent a trailer of food, so a few more actors were needed.
Bring Guiying with you when you go, so that fans can see how cool the Queen is on a horse!
Yue Fei didn't expect such an activity, so he nodded and agreed:
"Students can come at any time. Sir, just call him if you need anything."
After the little guy left, Li Yu played a game, and then he was holding half an iced watermelon and was about to eat it when Mu Guiying came jumping up and down:
"Haha, the Queen actually ate watermelon secretly, she should be beaten!"
After saying that, she grabbed the spoon, scooped out the heart of the melon, and ate it happily.
Li Yu took another spoon and asked while eating:
“Are those elbows delicious?”
"It was delicious. We couldn't get enough of it. Fortunately, Sister Yunxiao brought some braised chicken wings. I ate half of them and I was so full."
After saying that, Mu Guiying began to think about the clothes she would bring with her for the video shoot.
Bring a modern knight uniform, a red chivalrous costume, and a yellow dragon robe... I am the Queen, and I will go and find out for myself.
At the same time, Luoyang of the Three Kingdoms.
Zhong Yao is treating guests from far away to Bingzhoujun's traditional social project - hot pot!
Although Mingshi Sima Hui is not used to the meal-sharing system, he can't stop eating hot pot, especially the method of eating thin slices of meat by blanching it in the pot.
“If it’s too hot, it’ll be undercooked, and if it’s too hot, it’ll be hard to chew. Only when it’s cooked just right can you enjoy the most delicious mutton.”
It feels really wonderful to eat two pieces of mutton and have a sip of cold beer.
Mao Jie prefers to eat fatter ones, especially sheep tail oil. After scalding it in a pot, it tastes very oily and very enjoyable.
While eating, Zhong Yao's nephew Guo Yuan walked in:
"Uncle, all the people in the city have been registered. There are more than 30,000 people in total."
In the original work of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Guo Yuan was Yuan Shao's general. He was later named the governor of Hedong by Yuan Shang, and together with the Shanyu of the Southern Xiongnu and Gao Gan, he wreaked havoc on Hedong County.
At that time, Ma Teng and Ah Man were in their honeymoon period. They ordered Ma Chao to help Cao Cao suppress the rebellion. General Pang De entered Hedong and killed Guo Yuan on the spot.
But Pang De didn't know this guy, so he cut off his head and went around looking for the enemy governor. It wasn't until the surrendered soldiers reminded him that he dug out Guo Yuan's head from his robe.
Zhong Yao held his head and cried bitterly, which made Pang De embarrassed and apologized repeatedly.
Now that he knew that the Yuan family would not last long and that his nephew was not worried, Zhong Yao hurriedly recruited Guo Yuanzheng before Yuan Shao and made him serve as Sima of the governor's office.
After Guo Yuan reported his work, he saluted Sima Hui and Mao Jie... When you first enter the workplace, you must put politeness first.
Not to mention the middle-aged Confucian scholar who was holding a piece of mutton in the pot and silently counting the seconds. However, the famous Sima Decao from Yingchuan could save several years of detours if he praised him.
Sima Hui still upheld the demeanor of a good gentleman and greeted him warmly:
"Come on, let's eat together! Get some mashed garlic and sesame sauce, it's perfect for hot pot!"
Seeing that his nephew was still standing, Zhong Yao said:
"Let's eat together, don't be restrained."
Guo Yuan then pulled out his chair and sat down, mixed some more dipping sauce, and started eating with everyone.
Mao Jie sighed:
"Although I have never been to Luoyang, I have heard that Luoyang has a population of nearly one million. Now after a war, there are only 30,000 people left. This is not just one out of ten, but one out of a hundred."
Zhong Yao nodded:
"Every time there is a war, the people will flee. When order is restored in Luoyang, I will have people go to Jingzhou and other places to spread the word and let the people living there come back."
During the two years of the confrontation between Dong Zhuo and the princes of Guandong, the people near Luoyang either fled to Jingzhou or were driven to Chang'an, and the area around Luoyang became a white land.
It was not until Cao Pi ascended the throne that Luoyang regained some vitality.
However, Chang'an, which is also the capital, is not much better. It was already abandoned during the Eastern Han Dynasty. Coupled with the chaos of Li Jue and Guo Si, the people in Guanzhong were in dire straits, and tragedies of cannibalism continued to occur.
After Li Jue and Guo Si were defeated, the people of Chang'an finally had a chance to recuperate, and the Battle of Guanzhong between Ma Chao and Cao Cao broke out.
The people had no choice but to run to Hanzhong to avoid disaster.
During the entire Guanzhong War, no fewer than 100,000 people fled to Hanzhong, which allowed Zhang Lu to develop rapidly and made Hanzhong a favorite among people from all walks of life.
Liu Zhang is concerned about it, Cao Cao is concerned about it, Ma Chao is concerned about it, Liu Bei is concerned about it... In the eyes of the princes, Hanzhong is like an irresistible beauty, waiting for everyone to pick it up.
As a result, Zhang Lu refused at first, and when Liu Bei was about to attack the city, he reluctantly offered it to Cao Cao.
This operation also pushed Ma Chao into Xuande's arms, and he picked up a Qiang god for nothing.
Before Ma Chao died of illness, Xuande would let the Qiang people in Xiliang make a fuss for a while to create some achievements for Ah Ma.
Ma Chaozhi and the Qiang tribe are just like Lu Buzhi and the Xiongnu, Gongsun Zanzhi and Wuhuan... He single-handedly beat the entire tribe into a state of stress disorder.
After these two days of contact, Zhong Yao discovered that Mao Jie had a certain talent in law, and wrote a letter of recommendation, suggesting that Mao Jie should try out with Tian Feng.
Just like in the original work, the straw boat borrows arrows and connects the boat with iron ropes, forget about leading troops to fight, and just do some literary work.
After finishing the hot pot meal, Sima Hui cupped his hands and said to Zhong Yao:
"Hui Zhen feels really sorry for the continuous harassment for several days. I'll leave for Chang'an early tomorrow morning. When I get the chance, I'll get drunk with Yuan Chang and then rest!"
He was thinking about the follow-up to "Water Margin" and was afraid that he would be late and not see it.
Zhong Yao said:
"I will send someone to escort him all the way. After passing Mianchi County, Mr. Decao can use the walkie-talkie to talk to Chang'an through the air."
Sima Hui had already experienced walkie-talkies, but when he thought about the distance between Shaanxi County and Chang'an, he was still a little surprised:
"It's a miracle that we can actually have conversations hundreds of miles apart!"
While they were chatting, a scout hurried in and said:
"Reporting to the governor, the Yellow River sentry post reports that Hanoi soldiers and horses are crossing the Yellow River."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Yao ended his greetings with Sima Hui, picked up the walkie-talkie, and started to contact Xu Rong, who was strengthening the city wall:
"What does the general think Hanoi is planning to do by sending troops at this time?"
Xu Rong was also a little confused. He had not yet crossed the river to attack Hanoi, but Hanoi had sent troops first. He thought for a while and said:
"I'll take the cavalry over first to take a look. The gates of Luoyang City are temporarily closed. If the other side has bad intentions, Han Sheng will be notified immediately to lead troops to come back for reinforcements."
The two discussed it and took action separately.
Soon, Xu Rong mounted his horse and led a thousand cavalry out of the north gate of Luoyang and headed straight to the edge of the Yellow River.
It is now late autumn, and the Yellow River has also entered the dry season. The river is shallow and can even be crossed on horseback in some places. Therefore, every winter, the banks of the Yellow River become the core area for fighting.
Xu Rong rode forward while using the walkie-talkie to contact the Yellow River outpost:
"How many people do they have? What kind of equipment do they have? Do they have siege equipment? Do they carry food and grass supplies?"
As the commander-in-chief of a party, you must be good at detecting the enemy's situation from clues.
Soon, a report came from the intercom:
"About five hundred people, two hundred cavalry, and three hundred infantry, all wearing iron armor. They had no food, grass, baggage, or siege equipment. The drone flew to the other side, but no follow-up troops were found."
No backup?
Xu Rong breathed a sigh of relief. If only five hundred people came, his thousand cavalry would be able to defeat the opponent. With the help of the convenient location, he could even achieve total annihilation.
However, Luoyang has been deserted for so long, and the people in Hanoi have been indifferent. Why did they suddenly send troops now?
Five hundred people, a lot of intelligence, but a little less vanguard. This is an embarrassing number... Xu Rong opened the water bag and took a sip of water, planning to rush to the Yellow River to have a closer look.
Soon, the Yellow River was in sight.
The five hundred men and horses from Hanoi finally walked out of the river beach and had just reached the Yellow River embankment.
When soldiers and horses from both sides met, the situation immediately became tense.
Xu Ronggang was about to let his cavalry charge, when the leading soldier suddenly rode out and asked loudly:
"I am Fang Yue in Hanoi, where is Marquis Wen? Do you remember Fang?"
Fang Yue?
Xu Rong racked his brains, and then he remembered that Lu Bu had challenged the coalition of princes when he resisted the eighteen princes in front of Hulao Pass.
Wang Kuang's subordinate Fang Yue came out to fight. In order to avoid being infamous, Lu Bu did not kill Fang Yue like in the original work, but knocked him off his horse and spared his life... Unexpectedly, he met this famous Hanoi general again at this time. .
What is he doing to see Wen Hou now?
Do you want to fight again, or are you ready to surrender?
Xu Rong planned to ask carefully. If there was a fight, Marquis Wen was a bit far away now, so he could let Old Man Huang, who was guarding Hulao Pass, deal with it...
