Chapter 142 Lurking
Sitting cross-legged in a square cow-hair tent at the Ashidewubu camp by the Jing River, a wool carpet was spread on the floor, and there was a small stove with a cast-iron pot boiling water with dried cow dung.
There are several silver plates and silver bowls in front of them, which contain fresh meat from various parts of beef and sheep, as well as hairy belly, money belly, louver, beef intestine, sheep blood sausage, beef heart and liver (yellow throat), heart and liver, lamb chops, Beef brisket, tendon, beef face, head, sheep scorpion and so on.
Qin Lang continued to divide these ingredients with a knife in his hand, while Ah Huang washed and laid out the onions, leeks, garlic, ginger, mushrooms, and wild vegetables that he found on the river beach, in the wheat field, and in the vegetable garden.
Liu Jiu, no, at this moment his name is Zhu Xie Jinshan, and he looks helplessly at Qin Lang's manipulation.
"At this time, Sanlang is still thinking about eating? We are deep in the enemy's camp."
Qin Lang looked at a piece of high-quality bright red beef in his hand and sighed, "What about the cattle that eat grass, if this piece of meat is beaten a thousand times with an iron whip or a copper mace, and then made into beef balls, it will taste delicious." Absolutely good."
What a good material, it’s almost like chasing a cow’s **** to bite. This kind of beef is the best for making beef **** and eating hot pot. In later generations, merchants like to talk about detoxification, and all kinds of bragging about the deliciousness of cold storage, but Qin Lang doesn't bother.
"Third brother, don't be stunned, how much garlic have been peeled just now, peel more, and make dipping water later."
Lin San looked at the ginger, garlic, and leeks in front of him, and sighed helplessly, "Ginger is spicy, garlic is spicy, and leeks are spicy, and you have so many peppers and fuliu vines. It will not be too spicy for a while." cry?"
"What do you know, it must be spicy enough to eat hot pot, you must eat spicy pot." Qin Lang said.
Liu Jiu couldn't sit still. There were 8,000 Turkic people from the Ashite tribe outside, and there were hundreds of thousands of Turkic people nearby.
"Sanlang, what are your plans?"
"Sneak into the enemy's camp to find out information." Qin Lang said relaxedly, and then handed a large piece of fresh beef to Liu Jiu, "You have good knife skills, cut this piece of beef into thin slices, the thinner the better."
Liu Jiu is helpless, this is different from what he imagined.
It shouldn't be that they designed to pretend to be Shatuo Turks, rescued Wu Meichu and deceived him to trust him, and then followed them to the Turkic camp, and then they looked for opportunities to assassinate Tuli or Jieli Khan, causing chaos and making the Turks A group of dragons without a leader, and then a cloud-piercing arrow, attracting thousands of troops to meet each other, will it kill the Turkic people?
Why are you eating hot pot here now?
"Move the camera, adapt to the situation, don't worry!" Qin Lang put down the knife in his hand with a smile, and glanced at the boiling pot, "It's really not easy to find a suitable pot to eat hot pot in this Turkic camp. Fortunately, there are Turkic craftsmen who can forge iron, and it is barely okay to order one according to the requirements."
Take out the beef bone that has been stewed for half a day in another pot, take the broth inside, smell it, it is really fragrant.
"What about the free-range chicken? Throw the soup into the pot as a base, and add the beef bone soup later."
Lin San sniffed, "Sanlang, this Laoshizi hot pot is too troublesome to eat, it's stewed beef ribs, and it's stewed chicken, and it also has a bunch of beef, mutton, various miscellaneous vegetables, etc. It's a hodgepodge, isn't it?"
"How can it be the same as a hodgepodge? The hot pot is shabu-shabu, and you can eat it after a few simmers in the pot. It is fresh and delicious. The hodgepodge is boiled. You throw it in a big pot and cook it. After cooking for a long time, you say that the taste is not mixed, and it is not old. Is it? So it’s better to eat it, hot pot is better, stop talking nonsense, and get more garlic, ginger, rice and green onion!”
Liu Jiu sighed, "It's only a few women, otherwise I think we are in Dongshi Yuelai Restaurant, or Pingkang Fangqu."
"Don't worry, this trip will yield a lot of rewards. Haven't we already confirmed that a lot of the information Wu Mei Chuan confessed is true? Jingyang Daying Camp is indeed only led by Tuli, and there are no twenty There are only 80,000 horses in total, and about 50,000 horses are scattered in Gaoling, Jingyang and other Weibei counties, and they are hunting grass and valleys everywhere. The Turks are indeed short of food and grass.”
Wu Meichuu, even if he was beaten to death, would never have guessed that the Zhenfu Sicheng who frightened him into incontinence with a few words, actually followed Liu Jiu all the time, and came to Weibei.
Qin Lang was originally tall and tall, but he was very young and handsome, but after he changed into a Turkic robe, put a beard on himself, thickened his eyebrows, had a mole on his face, and messed up his hair. With braided hair, not to mention Wu Meichu, even Liu Jiu and the others wouldn't be able to recognize it unless they looked carefully.
In particular, Qin Lang also used Yuxiao's rouge powder and other cosmetics to adjust the skin color, making it even more difficult to recognize. This is no longer makeup, but disguise. After all, this highlight and other later generations of his wife's makeup skills Qin Lang I also learned a little bit. Although the technology is average, it is a technology that has crossed the age. In later generations, it is known as the top four thaumaturgy in the world, and it can be called head replacement.
At first, everyone objected to Qin Lang joining the trip, but when Qin Lang appeared in front of them with makeup and disguise, they didn't recognize them all, they finally reluctantly agreed to Qin Lang's coming.
"As long as we are not exposed, then it is the best policy for us to continue lurking here, and we can continuously collect first-hand core information. The more information we get, the more favorable countermeasures Chang'an can formulate based on this information. Don't always think about fighting and killing. Sometimes a piece of accurate information is even better than thousands of troops. With our 30 or so people, let alone it is impossible to get close to Tuli's tent, even if you really kill him , In fact, the value is not much, Tuli is just a little khan, if you kill Tuli, there will be Jieli."
The plan made by Qin Lang was implemented smoothly, so Qin Lang was not in a hurry at all.
Throw in steak and lamb chops.
The soup base was already rich and fragrant, so Qin Lang immediately started to boil the mutton slices.
Put it in the pot and scald it for a few breaths, then take it out, the thinly sliced mutton slices are naturally bent and rolled up, and there is still a little red in the white.
Put it in your mouth, it is tender and juicy, and it is so delicious without dipping sauce.
Although Liu Jiu didn't work hard when he was doing things just now, his eyes widened after eating a chopstick, and he kept chopping.
"It's more delicious when eaten with some sauce."
Compared with the more traditional ways of eating beef and mutton, there is no doubt that this way of eating is really good. If you are used to eating barbecue and eating this kind of shabu-shabu, you can experience the tenderness.
"so spicy!"
Liu Jiu can't eat spicy food, only a little ginger, scallion, garlic, dogwood, etc. dipped in water and called it spicy, but he called it spicy, but this guy didn't stop his chopsticks.
Qin Lang felt that the taste was a little bit off. It was full of umami, but it wasn't spicy enough. It seems that when I return to Chang'an, I will collect more ingredients next time, and use butter to make a batch of authentic butter base, so that it will be convenient to eat next time.
The ingredients that had just been prepared came to an end in a while, so Liu Jiu went out with a knife in hand, and came in a while later with a whole beef leg.
Qin Lang glanced at him contemptuously. The ham is delicious. What's so delicious about this big piece of hind leg meat? Crunchy and tough, that's delicious, especially the yellow throat, this kind of crispness, those guys really don't know how to eat it.
Eating is almost the same, and throwing some green vegetables into it for rinsing is also very greasy.
Qin Lang put down his chopsticks, poured the still warm beef bone broth into the pot, watched Liu Jiulin, San Ah, Huang Qinyong and the others throw large chunks of beef into the pot, and shook his head helplessly.
"The beef and mutton must be cut into thin slices, so that it is tender enough. If it is cut into too large pieces, it will become beef stew."
But these guys were eating happily, Qin Lang had no choice but to set up another small charcoal stove alone, took a handful of willow branches, and started to skewer the marinated mutton just now.
I only want to eat shabu-shabu when I eat barbecue. Now that I have hot pot, I want to try two skewers. People are so contradictory and strange.
"Tell me, is there a way to make the big brother Wu Mei foolishly lead the people away from the camp?" Qin Lang asked the brothers who were eating hazelnuts while turning over the skewers.
"Wu isn't that stupid, is he? After suffering such a big loss, he dares to act alone again?"
"But Wu didn't suffer such a big loss, and he is eager to take revenge." Qin Lang sprinkled a handful of fennel powder on the skewers.
Qin Lang could still keep in mind what Li Shimin said before when he was alone with him. Li Shimin was determined to fight Jieli, and he would never confess his love first and beg for mercy. Lost the battle.
But Datang can't afford to lose, even as Qin Qiong said, Datang actually can't afford to fight this battle, but he has to hold on, just like cheating Jinhua, relying on a cheating word, you have to be bold and careful, you You have to collapse, and suppress the other party.
But cheating alone is not enough, you have to come up with something.
The best thing is to win another battle, which must be bigger than Qin Qiong's record last time. It is best not to have too large a disparity in the number of troops dispatched, so that the Turks will be convinced and they will be afraid of Datang. The panic in their hearts makes them doubt themselves, and it is best to take the initiative to ask for peace and withdraw their troops.
Qin Lang thought about it, and it seems that brother Wu Mei is really the best match.
"You said, if we swallowed Wumu's eight thousand tribes in one gulp, even Xieli would have to panic, right?"
"It's not easy." Liu Jiu shook his head. Although Wu did not have these 8,000 soldiers left, only 1,000 soldiers were left, but after removing the women, there are still 3,000 who can ride horses and draw bows, but they are a little weaker. .
Since you want to fight, you have to fight well. It can’t be an equal front, it has to be an overwhelming victory, or even annihilation. The possibility of Turkic soldiers and horses encircling and annihilating.
"How will you know the result if you don't try?" The more Qin Lang thought about it, the more he felt that Wubu was a good breakthrough.
