Chapter 53: A Homely Meal Disturbs the Army(1/2)

Chapter 53 A common meal caused chaos in the morale of the army

However, Master Liang was not confused about who Liu Rengui was. He was just a lobbyist anyway. Master Liang pointed and said three bamboo baskets: "Is this a gift from General Chen to me?"

Master Liang did not think that there were few things in three baskets. Although he was the emperor of the "Liao Kingdom", he had been paying close attention to the trends in Guanzhong. In fact, in recent years, a new thing has emerged in Guanzhong, called Qianchao.

In fact, it is just a money ticket. Any branch placed in the Tang Tongli Money House can cash coins of the same denomination at any time.

With the emergence of money, it is extremely convenient for people to give gifts.

He has a hundred thousand strings of money and rides a crane to Yangzhou.

The key is that the copper coins are too heavy, and the coin is 1,000 jin and weighs 7 jin. A hundred thousand jin will weigh about 700,000 jin, which is equivalent to 350 tons. If the ten-wheeled trucks in later generations are used, there will be a total of ten vehicles without overloading. If it is transported by ordinary carriages, it will also require as many as four or five hundred vehicles. If it is used for four-wheeled carriages, it will also require as many as more than one hundred vehicles.

But money is different. Even if it is a ten-ton of money, three bamboo baskets can hold hundreds of thousands of coins.

Liu Rengui nodded slightly and said, "It is the meeting gift that General Chen prepared for Lord Liang and everyone."

Liu Sheng sneered: "We only took out such a little gift to meet. I'm too stingy. How about sending the beggar?"

"Yes, you are too bullying!" Master Jihu Liu Nuniu immediately echoed.

Jihu, also known as Buluoji, originated from the Southern Xiongnu. After the demise of the Huns, the names of the Huns were abolished and the names of the tribes were made public. They were also descendants of the Huns, along with Tiefu and Tiele.

Liu Rengui smiled gently, lifted the white cloth from a basket, and suddenly, a basket of steaming buns appeared in front of everyone.

The white bread was wrapped in the cotton in the basket and covered with a quilt. Although the cold wind was howling, it still maintained the temperature.

When the civil and military ministers of Liang State around him saw the big meat bun, they immediately sniffed their noses, and their saliva was secreted wildly, and they flowed out of the corners of their mouths in a bad mood.

Liu Rengui quietly observed the reactions of the civil and military officials under Liang Shidu's command with his eyes. As expected, Liang Shidu was indeed short of food. When these civil and military officials saw the expression of big meat buns, they seemed to be an old bachelor who had been jailed for thirty years and was suddenly released from prison. They saw the reaction of the top beauty.

His eyes were almost straight.

Liu Rengui smiled and said, "This is the best big meat bun, with thin skin and enough meat. After one bite, his mouth is full of oil. General Chen Hou knew that you had never eaten big meat buns, so he ordered him to bring some food to fill your stomach..."

Before Liu Rengui finished speaking, Master Liang rushed out without any image, grabbed a bun and stuffed it into his mouth.

As Liu Rengui said, a large meat bun weighing a pound has eight taels of meat, and there are no vegetables in the meat filling except green onions. Moreover, all the pork under Chen Ying is castrated pigs. Not only does it have a stinky smell, but it has more oil and less meat. At this time, people generally have an obsessive love for fat meat.

Master Liang took a bite of the big meat filling, and it melted in his mouth, making his taste buds look great.

Seeing that Master Liang had even taken action, the other Dawu was not willing to show weakness. In particular, Liu Nuniu grabbed two buns with one hand, pinched them hard, and stuffed them into his mouth with bows left and right.

Liu Sheng was not willing to fall behind, his hands and feet were fast, and everyone was stunned and they saw half of the bun disappearing in his throat. Not only did he eat it hard, he also put it in his pocket.

This action has aroused public anger. Idiots know that the buns in the bamboo basket are limited. If you think about the method like this, you must not take our share too?

Master Liang really regrets that he is not strong enough. A group of short-sighted guys will buy you a basket of buns. It’s a hell to achieve great things!

But thinking about this, he still walked over unsatisfiedly, kicked Liu Nuwei, snatched two buns from him and stuffed them into his mouth... He ate the warm and soft buns into his mouth, and then he felt that he was still a human being.

These big men were fighting fiercely, and in a blink of an eye, they divided the big basket of buns. The guards around could only swallow their saliva. There was no way. Even if they gave them a jar of courage, they would not dare to go over and grab the buns with these big men!

They could only secretly pray that these big shots should not eat too cleanly and leave some scum for them to satisfy their cravings.

Mr. Liang burped while pointing at the other two baskets and said, "What is this? Is it also a bun?"

"Of course not!" Liu Rengui smiled softly and said, "Let's go in and talk!"

Entering the enemy building in Tongwancheng, a large table table, Liu Rengui opened two other bamboo baskets. One of them contained a basin of steamed rice and a basin of millet porridge. The other basket contained four dishes, including pork stewed with kelp, pork stewed with bean sprouts, mutton stewed with carrots, and a fried mung bean sprouts.

Now it is not as good as later generations. There is no way to preserve fresh vegetables and fruits in winter. It is very difficult to eat fresh fruits and vegetables in winter. During the marching and fighting in winter, the Tang army can only supply soybean sprouts and kelp. Kelp can supplement the dictionary, while soybean sprouts can supplement rich vitamins. As for carrots, carotene can also be supplemented.

Master Liang looked at the things in the three bamboo baskets and laughed silently. He thought Chen Ying was bribed with money, but he never thought it was the most ordinary meal.

However, Liu Nuniu didn't care about it. Several big buns were not at all for him, a big-bellied man. He picked up chopsticks, squeezed rice while eating stewed kelp with big mouthfuls.

Master Liang even looked at Liu Nuniu with some dissatisfaction. After all, the emperor, he didn't say anything, so Liu Nuniu just started eating.

Liu Nuniu was not stupid either. He saw Liang Shidu’s dissatisfaction. While eating, he muttered: “Your Majesty, you are a full man and don’t know that the hungry man is hungry…”

When other civil and military officials saw this scene, they rushed up without any image to grab food. The image was like a starving ghost reincarnated.

The sound was simply unpleasant.

Master Liang looked at the civil and military officials like evil dogs snatching food, and he was a little hungry unconsciously.

The food in this bamboo basket looked a lot, but it really didn't have much. It was quickly snatched away.

Liu Rengui looked at the dishes as clean as the dog licked, and chuckled, "Lord Liang, everyone, are you satisfied with this meal?"

Master Liang nodded and said, "It's okay!"

Liu Sheng said, "I, Old Liu, have eaten the most comfortable meal in recent years!"

Liu Nu Niu nodded repeatedly and echoed from time to time.

Liu Renguidao: "The meal you ate just now is just the most ordinary war meal for our Tang army soldiers. Of course, it is just inconvenient to carry. Our Tang army soldiers, buns, steamed buns, rice, and rice are all enough!"

Master Liang widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "How is that possible!?"

Liu Renguidao: "I don't mean to deceive you generals. If you don't believe me, you can go to the city wall to see. Our team is making meals and will be having a meal soon! You can see if you are lying."

The civil and military officials of Liang State looked at each other, all looking disbelief.

The generals who rebelled by Liang Shidu were all from poor families. They knew very well what kind of life the poor lived. Not to mention that the four dishes were meat and vegetables, it was thankful that the steamed buns mixed with bran and wild vegetables could be filled! Such a meal was just a battle meal for the soldiers of the Tang army?

My God, this is too unbelievable, right?

Liu Rengui walked straight to the gate of the enemy building, stood on the city wall, pointed to an arrow outside the city, and was lined up to make a meal for the Tang army soldiers and said, "If you don't believe it, come and take a look..."

Mr. Liang smiled and said, "It's just a show. Yang Guang used silk to surround Chang'an City, and Guanzhong also lacked food. This is a well-known secret. Is it meaningful to slap the swollen face and pretend to be fat?"

Liu Rengui smiled and said, "Lord Liang doesn't know that the danger of famine in Guanzhong has long been lifted. In other words, Lord Liang, with General Chen's ability, can you and all the generals stop him by leading these 30,000 troops?"

When Master Liang heard this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

It’s not that he has not given Chen Ying a fight. If it were a field battle, even if Chen Ying had an army of 10,000, he would have traveled as far as he could.

Liu Rengui smiled and said, "Lord Liang thought this Tongwan City was compared with Yanmen Pass?"

Liang Shidu shook his head and said, "Although Tongwan City is strong, it is far inferior to Yanmen Pass!"

This is the truth.

Yanmen Pass is not an ordinary pass. In fact, Yanmen Pass is a complete defense system. Tongwancheng is just the capital of a country, and military is just a function of Tongwancheng.

Liu Rengui smiled and said, "I believe Lord Liang has also heard of it. Our General Chen only took one day to conquer Yanmen Pass!"

Speaking of this, Liu Rengui looked at Liu Nu and said, "General Liu, how is this Tongwancheng compared to Hangu Pass?"

Liu Nuniu smiled bitterly and said, "There is no comparison!"

Liu Renguidao: "It only took General Chen an hour to conquer Hangu Pass!"

Liang Shidu's face became increasingly ugly.

Liu Rengui's words are not exaggerated, they are all facts.

Liu Rengui looked at the civil and military officials of Liang State with different expressions and said, "The last question is, even if General Chen does not attack Tongwancheng, relying on the coal or firewood saved in Tongwancheng, how many days can Tongwancheng last for the fuel?"

Master Liang had no way to answer.

As the weather gets colder, coal and firewood are consumed more and more. The key is that Tongwancheng, which is not only rich in coal resources and is cheap. The people do not reserve too much, and each household is extremely storing three or four hundred kilograms. Just Chen Ying surrounded Tongwancheng for one month or even more, Tongwancheng will fall into a state of shortage of fuel.

Master Liang couldn't help but say, "You're strange. You can just say it directly, why do you say so much?"

Liu Nu said, "Yes, everyone is a man. I'll give you a good word, don't go around!"

Liu Rengui looked around everyone and said, "General Chen means to make you surrender unconditionally."

As soon as he spoke, everyone was shocked. The few people all jumped up and shouted: "What!?

How many of the 36 anti-kings and 72 anti-winds at the end of the Sui Dynasty were really unable to survive?

In fact, most anti-kings and rebel experts are dissatisfied with their lack of a way out and want to rely on troubled times to make a fortune. If they surrender unconditionally, they will have to be a farmer who can even humiliate them at will in the rest of their lives. What else does it feel like?

After savoring the pleasure of taking the power of life and death, and millions of people obeying their own orders, how can they be willing to be an ordinary person without any power!

Liu Nuniu was the first to shout: "This is the condition for the bird to persuade people to persuade them!?"

Liu Sheng also said: "It's so arrogant! Even the emperor doesn't dare to talk to us in this tone! He is so good that he actually wants us to surrender unconditionally! It's so hateful!"

Mr. Liang looked straight at Liu Rengui: "Liu Rengui, are you kidding?"

Liu Rengui shook his head and said, "It's not a joke. General Chen asked for unconditional surrender. He promised not to kill any of you, and to let your children have books, food, your subordinates have fields to cultivate, and work to support their families."

Such conditions are indeed very attractive to the people of Liang State and ordinary soldiers of the Liang Army. The problem is that these people have already tasted the sweetness of power. After the founding of Liang State, they were named as generals by Liang Shidu, and their ambitions have expanded to an unparalleled level. They have surrendered unconditionally and accepted Chen Ying's placement. Where can they do it?

Liu Nu Niu snorted and said, "I thought General Chen was an extra hero. It turned out to be such a naive idiot! He thought that a meal could buy us and let us surrender obediently? Dreaming!"

He pointed his hand at Tongwancheng and said sternly: "My people in Daliang are strong and strong, and they are worth more than 200,000 people, traversing the northwest, rarely encountering opponents. Do he think that his little men can swallow us in one bite?? Surrender unconditionally? Surrender to his mother!"

Liu Rengui's expression changed drastically when he heard this.

Especially when he heard Liu Nuiu insult Chen Ying, he suddenly pulled out a horizontal knife and stabbed Liu Nuiu without hesitation.

Liu Nuniu didn't expect that Liu Rengui would dare to take action in Tongwan City. Even if he did, he should have taken action against Master Liang first.

So this knife was surprisingly unexpected, and Liu Nuniu was not prepared at all and did not react.

"Puff..."

The sharp horizontal knife pierced the battle skirt that Liu Nu hid her waist effortlessly, pierced through his waist, instantly piercing his kidney.
