Chapter 1772: An Extraordinary Encounter at the Border
It takes a long time to draw a picture. Wu Daozi only drew the general postures of a few people without filling in the colors.
After making such paintings in the Tang Dynasty, they colored them and used colored ink.
Wu Daozi raised his sleeves to wipe his sweat. It was half-finished, and the rest could be easily solved. He had an apprentice, and he usually asked his apprentice to color it.
"No, that's it." Li Yi said, he didn't want any color.
Those with color are worthless. This painting is an unfinished work by Wu Daozi.
He warmly invited Wu Daozi to eat some skewers and drink some wine. He had come so far and worked so hard, and he even vomited just to drink with him.
Wu Daozi himself was also very satisfied. He felt that he had performed exceptionally well. This beer is good. From now on, he will drink beer instead of wine when painting.
Mosquitoes were flying around, but they couldn't affect everyone's fun.
"The stability of the Tang Dynasty depends on Dr. Li's good advice."
Wu Daozi sincerely praised Li Yi. At least the types of paints he could use increased and the paper became cheaper.
"It has nothing to do with Li, but it is all due to His Majesty's grace for the Tang Dynasty. The ministers pooled their wisdom, the soldiers sacrificed their lives to guard the borders, and the people worked hard.
The prosperity of Jingzhao Mansion is not the result of one person; the blessings of the people are the virtues of those who build upon them. The tall trees are shady, but there is no forest; the reeds are leafy, but the single tree is not swaying.
The Tang Dynasty was a country with hundreds of industries in the world, thousands of roads and roads, and only when everyone was united could it be powerful enough to attract people from all directions. "
Li Yi told the truth and was very grateful to Li Longji, Li Chengqi and the prime ministers.
These people sometimes cooperated with themselves like fools, and at the same time witnessed the rise of the Tang Dynasty, and many power struggles were put down.
Otherwise, I can only usurp the throne, and all the damn things will hold me back. I might as well just disappear and do it by myself. Just be tired if you feel tired, otherwise you won't be able to survive.
"Doctor Li, you have contributed the most, I know, Your Majesty..." Wu Daozi continued to praise.
"Thank you very much, drink this cup to the full." Li Yi interrupted in time, let alone Your Majesty, what are you talking about behind His Majesty's back? drink wine!
"Okay!" Wu Daozi drank half of the glass of wine, burped again, and found that it was not a full drink.
Now he can drink, and after vomiting, his body adjusts itself to the amount of alcohol.
Today he feels in good condition and can drink a lot.
Li Yi was normal. He looked at Wu Daozi's appearance, thought for a while, and said, "Let's sing. Everyone take out the instruments."
He had no choice but to drink more. The best way was to sing to get excited and increase his physical activity while singing.
He was eating and drinking with people at that time. He was already drunk, but after dinner he went to sing again. When he started singing, the wine was not enough.
"Okay, okay, sing Hongyan. I heard that this song was composed by Dr. Li to weaken the will of the enemy soldiers?"
Wu Daozi is relaxed, and Li Yi always feels very easy-going and not oppressive.
Of course, he had never seen Li Yi get angry with the prime ministers. The prime ministers and ministers were always on tenterhooks even as they ate.
The maids and eunuchs ran to get musical instruments and necessary tools.
Princess Yongmu and Xiaolan also joined in the fun, one played the violin and the other played the xun.
Li Chengqi didn't have a big drum, so he got a small tambourine to try out the sound, and it worked.
Li Yi took a harmonica, an accent harmonica. There is no F sharp or B flat in Hongyan, so there is no need for a chromatic harmonica.
The harmonica itself has an octave difference between the two rows. If you play the octave harmonies with nine holes and insert your tongue in the middle to add accompaniment, the best effect will be achieved, but it will be a waste of time.
Fortunately, Li Yi has a large lung capacity and does not play octave harmonies throughout.
So Wu Daozi sang out of tune at the top of his lungs: "Hong~~yan~~sky~sky~up~~..."
…
"Hong~~yan~~sky~sky~up~~~team~team~line~form~~line~~river~~water~~long~~autumn~grass..."
On Hedong Road, the Heavenly Soldiers were cruising three to five miles ahead. In the night, the soldiers were also singing softly.
They have musical instruments, but they don't dare to use them. They are all military equipment, so how about blowing the trumpet? Or beat the drum again?
They had no wine to drink, let alone skewers, for fear that drinking would cause trouble and cause smoke from the bonfire.
But they have self-heating rations for individual soldiers, which are heated when water is poured in. The cost is a bit higher. There is no aluminum foil and other things are used as interlayers.
Pour water into the hot thing on the outside layer, wait for a while, and the fragrant and hot dish will be ready.
It was much simpler than Li Yi's time, but it couldn't be compared with that time. There was no food at that time, and there were drones to deliver it.
There are several types of individual rations for the Tianbing Army. The soldiers' favorites are braised pork, braised quail eggs and braised pork with pickles, which are rich in oil and water and are mainly delicious.
Is there any staple food in there? I need to bring my own staple food. If I can bring individual soldier rations, why can’t I bring some fried rice, fried noodles, and noodles?
As long as the food is delicious, soak the staple food in water and eat it with the food. It is fragrant enough. There is soup in the food, so it is no problem to dip it in the soup.
"Here, you can eat two pieces of dried meat. It's been soaked for you."
The battalion commander in charge this time, Shi Yue, gave the dog dried meat that had been soaked in water for about ten minutes. There was too much salt on the outside of the dried meat and had to be soaked out.
He was a hunter himself and always had hounds at home.
Normal beasts can be dealt with, such as wild boars, which are the most powerful ones that can be dealt with.
It would not work if it were a tiger. His hunting dogs would not dare to charge when they saw the tiger barking vigorously. Some of them were even so frightened that they peed and could not stand up.
He had always envied hunters who could raise mountain guard dogs. Their dogs would bite them even though they knew they were going to die, and they would run to die.
If soldiers have no will to live, they become trapped in the camp; if dogs have the will to die, they become mountain guard dogs.
Shi Yue envied people who had mountain guarding dogs, and he didn't dislike his own dogs. He just didn't want to go after the tigers! Wild boars and the like are no problem.
If your team encounters black bears and tigers, do you need dogs to charge? After a gunshot, they will all become prey.
Hurry up and deal with it. You can exchange money for sending it back. With the extra money, you can ask others to help take it home.
If you take a break, you can also help other brothers take care of it.
The three big dogs he brought have always been very obedient. They don’t bark under normal circumstances. When they see a rabbit, they rush to fetch it back. When the owner touches their heads, it seems that everything is worth it.
If you encounter a pack of wolves, run quickly. You can’t beat them. There are too many wolves. The leader wolf has a small chance of winning when he and the other three go together, not to mention there are other wolves.
Run back to find the owner, the owner and others go over to kill the wolf, and then you can show off your power. It’s good.
Now there is dried meat to eat, and there is a little salt, which is delicious.
Most animals like to eat salt, and dogs like it too, but eating too much affects the sense of smell, and you have to drink more water at the same time.
"This is not pork with preserved vegetables, it's pork with fermented lees, a little bit of wine lees, and the rest is all big chunks of pork belly. Li Dongzhu is really willing to spend money."
A soldier heated up the dish and found that the ingredients were different, and it was not written on the package.
"Your meat is bad, the color is wrong, let me taste it!" A person next to him came forward.
"No, I just like to eat bad meat, you eat your own."
This person is not stupid, you want to taste anything? What should I eat after you taste it? Do you want me to taste your braised pork? I'll take a bite.
'Woo woo woo' 'Oh oh oh' 'Woof, woof woof! '
While everyone was joking, Shi Yue's three dogs spit out the things in their mouths and barked in a low voice in one direction.
"Get ready, listen." Shi Yue knew that he had discovered something.
His own dogs found that the wolf pack would not bark like this unless it was a special situation.
Someone stuck one end of a bamboo tube into the soil, with his ear on the hole above: "Captain, cavalry, lots of them."
"The Turks are on the move, hurry up and eat and set off." Shi Yue did not forget to eat, how could he fight on an empty stomach?
