Chapter 29 The essence of flavor is really magical
Three days later, Huangfu Song ordered the camp to be pulled down, and Zhang Yu followed General Huangfu Song's headquarters to operate.
Zhang Yu learned from Huangfu Song's entourage that Huangfu Song's army vanguard had fought with the Yellow Turban Army in Shangcai.
Zhang Yu didn't know how to fight this battle. General Huangfu Song was arbitrary and his decisions and military deployment would never be leaked.
Zhang Yu rode his horse and followed the army southward. The army advanced very fast, and the infantry were running.
Before dark, the main force arrived in Shangcai and the battle was over. A general reported to Huangfu Song that he killed nearly 10,000 Yellow Turban Army. The main force of the Yellow Turban Army retreated to Pingyu. Huangfu Song ordered a pursuit overnight and surrounded the Yellow Turban Army in Pingyu City.
The team built a pot and cooked rice. After resting for two hours, they continued to advance south.
In the second half of the night, Huangfu Song ordered the team to set up camp.
Zhang Yu knew from the feeling that it was not far from Pingyu.
After dawn, Huangfu Song convened a military meeting, but Zhang Yu was not qualified to attend and could only wander outside the tent.
After the meeting, the generals rode their horses away.
Zhang Yu knew that Huangfu Song must have deployed a comprehensive attack on Pingyu action plan, and Peng Tuo's troops were about to be finished.
At noon, Huangfu Song rode his horse and went to Pingyu under the protection of the guards.
Zhang Yu discovered that the government and the Yellow Turban Army were strangled together in an extremely vast area. The Yellow Turban Army retreated step by step, and the government army advanced step by step.
Before dark, Pingyu was captured. Huangfu Song stepped into the city with the bodies of the Yellow Turban Army everywhere under the protection of a large number of officers and soldiers.
In the former county magistrate's office, Huangfu Song presided over the meeting. General Zhu Jun and Prefect Zhao Qian who had disappeared for a long time appeared. They attended the meeting together. Zhang Yu attended the meeting.
Huangfu Song said to everyone: "We won a great victory in Pingyu, and killed tens of thousands of enemies, defeated the bandits of the Yellow Turban Army in Runan. However, all the leaders of the bandits escaped, and no one of the bandits above the lieutenant was captured. The scout reported that the commander of the Yellow Turban Army in Runan had fled northeast before we surrounded Pingyu. I guess his intention was to merge with the bandits of Qingyan and Xu, and even had plans to cross the river. Once the intention was realized, it would be even more difficult to wipe out. For this reason, I decided to lead my troops to pursue them and strive to catch up with them before they merge with the bandits of Qingyan and Xu, and to eliminate them. The remains of the Yellow Turban Army in Runan were jointly carried out by General Zhu Yan and Prefect Zhao Qian."
The generals nodded and said promise.
Huangfu Song shouted: "Xinister Zhang Yu."
Zhang Yu walked up and bowed, shouting: "Zhang Yu is here."
Huangfu Song said soothingly, "I wrote two letters, one to Governor Wang Yun. I asked him to return to the governor immediately, organize his troops to assist our troops in pursuing the Yellow Turban bandits, and ask them to prepare food and grass for me. The other letter is a letter of victory, please go to Luoyang quickly and report the victory to the emperor."
Zhang Yu bowed and said loudly.
When Zhang Yu received the letter, he asked with a smile: "When I came back from Luoyang, where will I report to you?"
Huangfu Song thought for a while and said, "I know you are running very fast. Let's do this. After returning, you will still bring it here. Because the army is pursuing the bandits, the marching speed cannot be too fast. Besides, I can't even tell where my troops will be at that time."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I understand, don't worry, within four days, I will find you and report to you."
Huangfu Song nodded and said, "Be careful along the way."
Zhang Yu shouted: "Thank you for your care, General."
After putting the letter in his backpack, Zhang Yu immediately withdrew and left on a horse.
Zhang Yu set out in the morning and arrived at the Yuwang Pavilion in the evening, handed the horse to Chief Laide, and told him that if someone from afar finds Zhang Yu, he would receive it and place it. Chief Laide told Zhang Yu that there were only two thousand bags of snow spirit left. Zhang Yu exchanged the success value for 10,000 kilograms and placed it at the Laide home.
Zhang Yu walked into the city and found the governor Wang Yun and handed him the letter from Huangfu Song. After conveying Huangfu Song's words, he immediately left Yangdi and ran to Luoyang along the post road.
At around 2 o'clock in the second night, Zhang Yu arrived in Luoyang.
Luoyang was very nervous at this time. The city gate was closed at night. Zhang Yu showed his letter and after the inspection of the city gate, Zhang Yu was allowed to enter.
Zhang Yu went directly to Duting, found General He Jin's base, and asked the guards to report to General He Jin, saying that there was an emergency military situation in Runan.
General He Jin was sleeping. When he heard that Runan had an emergency military report, he was frightened. He thought the war was not good, so he quickly put on his clothes and ran out to call Zhang Yu to enter.
Zhang Yu found He Jin in a panic look. While delivering the letter to General He Jin, he laughed and said, "Good news! Runan won a great victory."
He Jin laughed, concealed his panic, and quickly took out the letter to watch.
He Jin said to Zhang Yu: "You follow me into the palace and report the good news to Your Majesty. Your Majesty told you to search for Qizhen. Have you found Qizhen?"
Zhang Yu's brain started to move urgently, but Qizhen didn't have it. I have some ordinary things that modern people have here, so why don't I give him two generations of MSG?
Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Take it with you! I'll guarantee that your Majesty likes it."
Emperor Ling of Han heard the eunuch report that there was a good news about Runan's victory, so he quickly got up and ordered the eunuch to help dress.
Emperor Ling of Han was lying on the couch, He Jin held the letter and bowed his body. The Zhongchang Shi Zhang Rang came over to take the letter and handed it to Emperor Ling of Han.
Zhang Yu stood behind He Jin, lowering his eyebrows and eyes. It was not that he dared not look, but that he was not allowed to look. The rules in the palace were very heavy, and He Jin brought him in because Emperor Ling of Han gave Zhang Yu the order to collect rare treasures in the world. Under normal circumstances, people like Zhang Yu are not qualified to enter the palace in their entire lives.
After reading the letter, Emperor Ling of Han was very happy and said with a smile on his face: "Summon the three dukes to discuss state affairs immediately."
Zhang Rang whispered.
Zhang Rang retreated and ordered the young eunuch to go and summon the three dukes.
Emperor Ling of Han looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Zhang Yu, I ordered you to collect rare treasures from all over the world. What have you collected for me?"
At this time, this Emperor Ling of Han was still thinking about rare treasures. Zhang Yu sounded so harsh. Zhang Yu thought to himself, I won’t give you rare treasures! Give you some MSG to play tricks on you.
Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Your Majesty has everything. This time I invited the essence of taste from heaven to Your Majesty. As long as this thing is added to the food, it will make the food feel delicious and delicious."
Emperor Ling of Han immediately became interested and asked with a curious look: "Where is the essence of taste?"
Two kraft paper bags filled with MSG suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Yu, five kilograms per bag, a total of ten kilograms, and it took five points of success.
Emperor Ling of Han was shocked because it appeared out of thin air.
Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please feel free to eat. Remember that you can only add a little to the food every time. Once too much is added, it will backfire and the taste will worsen."
Emperor Ling of Han said to Zhang Rang: "I ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare midnight snacks. After the three ministers arrived later, they would like to taste the essence of the taste."
Zhang Rang bowed and said promise and withdrew.
Emperor Ling of Han looked at Zhang Yu and said, "I have a poor appetite recently. If the flavor essence can be seasoned, I will appreciate you very much."
Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness."
After a while, the man from the imperial kitchen came in and took away two bags of MSG.
After a while, Sikong Zhang Wen, Situ Yuan Wei and Grand Marshal Deng Sheng arrived. After they greeted General He Jin, Emperor Ling of Han discussed work with them.
The Central General Zhang Rang pulled Zhang Yu to the side and spoke.
Zhang Rang, the Central Constable, whispered: "Wang Yun really caught my handle?"
Zhang Rang's question was long as Zhang Yu expected. Such a big thing involved the rise and fall of the Zhang family, so it was impossible for Zhang Bian to send someone to report it as soon as possible.
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "As far as I understand, Wang Yun has the evidence, and I hope you will think of a solution to it earlier."
Zhang Rang nodded repeatedly and said, "Zhang Yu, I am so grateful to you. I have made a promise to make friends with you."
Emperor Ling of Han ordered Zhang Rang to arrange someone to inform the imperial kitchen to carry the wine and food. Zhang Rang quickly walked towards a small eunuch and ordered him to go to the imperial kitchen and ask someone to carry the wine and food.
Due to the cooking and cooking methods of that era, the dishes in that era had much worse taste than modern dishes. However, once MSG was added to these dishes, the taste would naturally be greatly improved.
Although Emperor Ling of Han, He Jin and Sangong and other figures, although they have high status and powerful names and deeds, they have never eaten dishes with MSG. Once they eat them, they feel like they are delicious in the sky.
Yuan Wei, the boss of the Yuan family, has never eaten any delicious food. After eating the dish with MSG today, he felt like he was eating phoenix liver and dragon brain. Yuan Wei couldn't help but exclaim: "The essence of the taste is really magical. I feel that it can turn stones into gold and turn decay into magic."
He Jin was born as a pig slaughterer and had a low education. He slapped his mouth and said, "It's so damn delicious!"
Emperor Ling of Han used a spoon to scoop the soup and drank it in big mouthfuls. This meal was more than what was added up in the previous three days.
Emperor Ling of Han was very happy and said to Zhang Yu: "Zhang Yu, I have been worrying about national affairs for several days and I chewed everything tasteless. Today I ate the dish with flavor essence, and my appetite was so great that I felt salivation full of salivation. Zhang Yu, the flavor essence you offered today is more precious than anything else. I am very happy. I want to reward you more. Just tell me if you have any requirements."
