Chapter 354 Have the ability to cut me down

The Tang Dynasty was an era of scarcity of materials. In this era, many crops originating from America, Africa, Europe and other places had not yet arrived in the Middle Earth. Naturally, there were no commendable seasonings.

In this era, vinegar and salt and a sauce similar to soy sauce were used as seasonings. Vinegar was not so sour, and the salt had not been purified with salt containing a lot of impurities. As for the sauce, it was black and paste like a paste, God knows what they were made of.

As for those precious spices, only rich families will take them out and use them when entertaining guests.

Yan Fei handed over the roasting of lamb to the good men in the army. The roasted lamb was golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, which was definitely a delicious dish that made people drool. As for Yan Fei's own barbecue craftsmanship, if he went to open a barbecue stall, he would probably be smashed by the customers.

When the meat was fragrant, Yan Fei took out the seasoning bag.

Because of the experience of being pitted by Dragon Soul in the Northern Song Dynasty and unable to open the space-time channel, Yan Fei had made all preparations before coming this time. He brought all the things that were used or not, such as seasoning bags, which were no exception.

Cumin powder, barbecue sauce, fine salt and crucial chili powder were brushed over and over again on the roasted lamb set on the fire. As the aroma overflowed, more and more soldiers began to gather here.

Although he doesn’t know how to do barbecue, Yan Fei often eats it. Of course, he will eat it when he eats too much. Other things are easy to say, but chili powder is absolutely indispensable. What’s the point of eating barbecue without adding chili?

"Not bad, it's really delicious." Before Yan Fei could do it, Li Jing had already cut a lamb leg with a dagger and started throwing it into his mouth.

Yan Fei took a deep breath, pulled a leg of lamb, and held it in his hand to signal the Qianniu Guards to distribute the roasted lamb to the soldiers around him who were drooling. Then he turned around and walked towards his tent.

"I just saw you smearing a lot of things on the roasted lamb. What exactly is it?" Li Jing, who cut the dagger and threw it into his mouth, chased him and asked what Yan Fei used. The feeling that made people stutter and caught fire made him remember it deeply. Li Jing, who had a good memory, was sure that he had never eaten this kind of thing.

"A crop in my hometown." Yan Fei glanced at the soldiers who had already begun to snatch the roasted sheep and responded casually, "When I kill the Eastern Turks and open up my way home, I will have as much as I can do. Then I can sell it to you at a cheap time."

Yan Fei has always said that defeating the Eastern Turks can open up his own way home. In Li Jing and others, this statement seems that Yan Fei’s hometown is in the Western Regions. After all, no one will think that Yan Fei’s hometown is in another time and space. After all, people in this era have never read time travel novels, and there is no such concept in their minds.

Li Jing just smiled and didn't take it seriously as to what Yan Fei said about bringing seasonings to sell cheaply when he went home. After all, in his opinion, this unprecedented spice transported from the distant Western Regions is priced at gold. No matter how cheap it is, it can be cheaper.

More than a dozen roasted lambs are a drop in the bucket for an army of tens of thousands, and only a few people who are close to them can grab them. For the vast majority of soldiers who are already asleep, it is the best comfort.

Yan Fei listened to the sound of shouting and scolding outside in his tent to grab barbecue. After laughing, he started to chew on his lamb legs.

Before setting off the camp the next day, Yan Fei flew a drone in front of Li Jing. When Li Jing saw Lanzhou City thirty miles away on the computer screen of the ground station, his confidence in this surprise attack reached its peak.

With this kind of clairvoyance that can be called a treasure of the immortal family, the vast grassland is no longer a terrifying place that makes people afraid. Li Jing was already considering how to commend himself when he made such a achievements as Huo Piqiu. Should he be carved or erected a monument?

"Huo Piqiu?" Looking at Li Jing's departure's back, Yan Fei smiled slightly. "Men should be like Huo Piqiu, holding a halberd to break the enemy for 30,000 miles. There are countless Chinese heroes, and Huo Qubing should be the first!"

The wind was howling, and the flags were waving. The loess on the ground roared and flew wildly. People couldn't open their eyes. The environment here was extremely harsh, with dry grass and wasteland nearby. When the sky was covered with clouds and thunder, and a heavy rain was about to come, there was not even a big tree nearby that could shelter from the rain.

The sky is vast and the wilderness is vast. The wind blows the grass and sees cattle and sheep. This poem is indeed very beautiful, but when you really come to the grassland, you realize that it is all fake. The real grassland is extremely desolate, and yellowed dry grass and barren land are the norm here.

Moreover, the land here is very barren, and sand can be dug out by digging a little deeper. Apart from weeds and ferns, it is almost impossible to plant crops. This is why China, which makes a living by farming, repeatedly heading north to occupy grasslands but never permanently becomes its own territory.

Thunder was heard, and as soon as the strong wind dissipated, the raindrops in the sky slammed down. Under the heavy rain, the vicinity became a slug area nearby. However, even so, Li Jing did not order to stop and rest, but continued to urge the army to move forward.

Because he had already penetrated the grassland, Li Jing ordered everyone to be ready to wear armor and weapons, and be ready to go into battle at any time.

The cavalry were wearing armor, and the rain penetrated into the clothes along the gaps of the armor, which made the people wearing iron armor shudder. And those wearing leather armor were not hesitant. The cowhide was soaked and swelled, and the feeling of wearing it was really bad.

Even as a general, Li Jing could only ride on the horse and struggle to support him at this time. Only Yan Fei, wearing a fully covered raincoat, not only covered himself, but even put on his horse in a raincoat without being affected by the heavy rain.

"It's better to camp for such heavy rain." Yan Fei, who lit a cigarette on the horse's back, looked at the army that was struggling around in the rain and mud, and was very dissatisfied with Li Jing's actions. In this case, he couldn't walk very far, and it was easy to cause colds among the soldiers. He should immediately set up camp to hide from the rain.

In the modern world, colds are just a minor problem. If you take some medicine, you will get rid of the disease. However, in the Tang Dynasty, colds are a fatal disease. Because there is no antibiotic in the Tang Dynasty, it is even a risk of death if you suffer from colds.

Sure enough, Yan Fei's words were verified. The next morning after the heavy rain, more than a hundred soldiers fell ill and couldn't get up.

"Leave them here?" When Yan Fei learned that Li Jing decided to leave the patients in place, he was so surprised that he couldn't even close his mouth. This was more than a hundred people, and he was a patient with difficulty moving. Leaving them on the grassland either died of illness or was eaten by hundreds of wolves at night.

In the modern world, all wolves on the grassland have become protected animals and cannot be seen at all. However, in this era, the prairie wolves are only small groups, and hundreds of them are also many.

More than 100 fully armed soldiers would not be afraid when they were in a battle, but more than 100 patients would have to wait for death. And they were the kind that was eaten alive.

"This is also impossible." Li Jing, who was standing in the wounded barracks, looked at Yan Fei with a expressionless face. "This marching focuses on time and cannot be delayed at all. Bringing them with him will drag down the speed of the march and may even lead to the annihilation of the entire army!"

Li Jing took a deep breath, and a decisive look flashed in his eyes, "Ceyi is not in charge of the soldiers!"

"Bad." Yan Fei commanded the army to fight in other time and space, and many of them were injured and killed in battle. But they were all killed in battle on the battlefield, which belonged to the soldiers. He could not do such a thing as abandoning more than a hundred people at will.

"Is your title of God of War?" Yan Fei ignored the murderous gazes of Li Jing's guards around him and sneered coldly, "If you hadn't had to march in heavy rain, they wouldn't get sick. They were just paying for your mistakes. Is it okay for you to win? The lives of these people are just a random sum on your credit book?"

'Ba!' Li Jing slapped the pillar beside him hard, "Military affairs are major military affairs! As the main general, I must consider the entire army. Taking them with me will drag down the speed of the march and put the army in danger. Once our entire army is wiped out, the entire Tang Dynasty will worry about destruction. Yan joins the army and pay attention to your identity. I don't need to explain this kind of thing to you."

"You guys thank you for joining the army." A sick person in the wounded barracks struggled and sat up to greet Yan Fei. "We followed the general to fight and put our heads on the belt, and we didn't think about going back alive. We can't drag down the army, it's all our fate. We appreciate the kindness of joining the army, and we will repay our great kindness in the next life."

A group of patients struggled to get up and salute Yan Fei who spoke to them. The men in Guanzhong were all simple, and Yan Fei was good for them and they could feel it. Although they were unable to change anything, they remembered this friendship. The men in Guanzhong who valued affection and friendship said that they could not repay this life and would repay it in the next life.

"Shut up!" Just as the wounded barracks were shrouded in sadness, some people even began to wipe their tears, and even Li Jing raised his head and closed his eyes. Yan Fei shouted angrily and made all the sounds come to an abrupt end.

"If you want to repay my life-saving grace, there is no need to be in the next life, it's enough tomorrow." Yan Fei roared at Li Jing. "I can save them, no one needs to die. I must stop here for a day to treat them. Don't worry about delaying time and not completing the task. Even if the task fails and you die, I will kill all the Turks to avenge you."

Yan Fei is telling the truth. If he makes up his mind to get angry on the grassland, one person will be enough to wash the entire grassland, and it just takes time.

"Nothing." Li Jing glared at the eyes, "You think you are a general? You say you can stay for one day? You can kill all the Turks? You don't know what's wrong."
