Chapter 98 Bai Wenxuan's little plan, set up camp and wait for the rabbit "Da da……" "Li Dingguo, Ai Nengqi... You guys are here so soon, you came just in time!" Li Dingguo's young soldiers had just arrived at a place about five miles away from Wangjiazhuang. They were about to turn around a small forest that blocked their view ahead when they saw a rider suddenly appear from the bend of the official road and shout at them from afar. The man who came was Bai Wenxuan. He quickly rode his horse to Li Dingguo and the others and said, "The king just sent a messenger to inform me to take your young battalion with me tonight." "Our goal remains the same. We are to ambush near Wangjia Wharf. Once we see a treasure ship approaching, we will immediately launch an operation to seize the ship!" "If the Wang family's treasure ship has not yet appeared, and a major battle has occurred where the enemy has forced a breakout on Zhang Kewang's side, you, the Youth Camp, must immediately change your combat objectives and participate in the battle to intercept the Wang family." "The king has emphasized that there is a high probability that the Wang family will attempt a breakout tonight!" "Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. You must be mentally prepared. Do not expose yourself and be on high alert around you to avoid encountering unknown dangers." "You, the young camp, follow me and take a detour from here to hide near the Wang family's big dock, so as not to expose your whereabouts and alert the Wang family, so as not to call their treasure ship to help the core members evacuate." Zhang Xianzhong specially sent someone to emphasize to Bai Wenxuan that this ship-seizing operation was as important as destroying Wangjiazhuang.
Therefore, Bai Wenxuan did not dare to be careless at all. Now that Ma Yuanli has been promoted to the commander of the rebel army's navy, Bai Wenxuan also has his own ideas, but he dare not make mistakes due to carelessness and miss out on important things. Otherwise, instead of getting any credit, you would be punished by the king. That kind of result was not what Bai Wenxuan wanted to see at all. "I obey your command!"... Ai Nengqi, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and Zhang Huier were startled when they heard this and quickly agreed. "it is good!" "Get off your horses immediately, hold your horses and follow me on foot. Don't make any noise!" Bai Wenxuan then began to give orders, "Be careful to calm your horses, so as not to make too much noise and alert the enemy to our whereabouts!" "Zhang Kewang has led two hundred soldiers from the old camp and has been here for nearly an hour. They have cleaned up the perimeter of Wangjiazhuang with great fanfare, but there is no guarantee that there are still some fish that have slipped through the net." "It's always a good idea for our hidden surprise force to be cautious." Like Ma Yuanli, he had a lot of opinions about Zhang Kewang. Feng Shuangli, who stayed in Dingbian City to guard the county, parted ways with the two and pursued their own careers. No one knew what kind of magic potion Zhang Kewang had poured into Feng Shuangli, but now he was completely obedient to Zhang Kewang and followed his lead. It goes without saying that Feng Shuangli has been conquered by Zhang Kewang and has become his close confidant. It is estimated that the Eighth King was aware of this, but he did not make any move to stop it and seemed to be happy to see it happen. This left Bai Wenxuan and Ma Yuanli puzzled. However, since the king doesn't care, what can they do? Winning over this group of young soldiers has been Bai Wenxuan's idea for some time, and now he has begun to put it into practice. Given how much importance Zhang Xianzhong attached to this youth camp, no matter how Zhang Kewang jumped around, it would not affect the status of this youth camp in Zhang Xianzhong's heart.
As long as Bai Wenxuan can win over a few talented young men in this youth camp, no matter how the composition of this rebel army changes in the future, they will not be afraid of the expected suppression. Under the leadership of Bai Wenxuan, everyone left the official road, each leading their own horse, and moved forward slowly and cautiously along the winding path. It took nearly half an hour to reach the Wuding River. Listening to the rumbling sound of flowing water, everyone continued walking along the river for a while and came to the edge of a cliff about one mile away from Wangjia Wharf. There is a large meadow here surrounded by dense bushes. The terrain of the grassland is good. Whether you look from the direction of Wangjiazhuang or from the river, you can't see the situation here. On this large lawn, there were a hundred soldiers from the old camp, sitting on one side of the grass to rest. Everyone kept their horses with them to prevent them from running around and exposing the people here, leading to being discovered by outsiders. "This is where we'll rest tonight." "This place is relatively secretive, and we can observe the situation at Wangjia Wharf very well." After Bai Wenxuan and the soldiers of the Youth Battalion arrived at the temporary station, he said to Li Dingguo and others, "This grassland is very large. You, the Youth Battalion, should go to the other side to rest." "You can let the horses you brought with you graze here, but don't let them go too far away, and don't let them escape." "If you don't want to eat dry food, you can make your own dinner. But don't create a lot of smoke and let outsiders see it." "You have to move faster. You must put out all the flames completely before dark, so as not to expose our tracks at night." "After dinner, you must pack up your things as quickly as possible and be ready for battle at any time." "Once you find any trace of the enemy, follow my orders and attack!" "It's the last minute of the afternoon. If you want to start cooking, you can start now." "As for the sentries to observe the enemy situation, I will arrange them. You youngsters don't need to worry about it." After Bai Wenxuan explained some precautions to these young soldiers, he returned to the side where the soldiers from the old camp were and began to discuss some things with several small leaders. "Ai Nengqi, I brought enough tableware, two bags of rice, a large bag of pickles, and various seasonings." As Bai Wenxuan walked away, Li Dingguo turned to Ai Nengqi who was looking at him and said, "There are two more spirit dogs here. I killed them in Tianjiazhuang today." "Share the things we brought with us and start preparing dinner right away!" He only said this to Ai Nengqi, without looking at Liu Wenxiu and Zhang Huier. Ai Nengqi would just distribute the daily necessities they brought to the three teams, and he would not interfere or worry about it. He had to admit that he was a vengeful person, and he would not take the initiative to communicate with people he hated. Anyway, these things have been brought here, so it's up to the two teams including Liu Wenxiu and Zhang Huier to take them or not. As soon as Li Dingguo finished speaking, Ai Nengqi quickly agreed, and then directed the members of his team to distribute bowls, plates, pots and other tableware to everyone. Liu Wenxiu and Zhang Huier looked at each other, then silently brought their teams over to help Ai Nengqi. "Aqiang, Xiangzi, the two of you drag these two dogs to the riverside. Remember to bring knives and a few large basins. Dissect them and cut the meat into thin slices. Chop the bones into pieces for making soup!"
Li Dingguo turned to Tang Guangqiang and Cao Yongxiang beside him and said, "I'll boil water in a big pot, put the bones in and cook them, add seasonings, and eat the meat slices with the boiling hot soup." "With pickles and a relatively complete range of seasonings, it should be quite delicious to make a hot pot." In this big world, the texture of spirit dog meat is very different from that of ordinary dog meat. The meat of spiritual beasts is more tender than the meat of demon beasts, and has no fishy smell. This is one of the biggest differences between spiritual beasts and demon beasts. The intelligence of spirit beasts is higher than that of demon beasts. They have no evil spirit or hostility in their bodies and have relatively kind personalities. After practitioners kill the enemy's spirit beasts, their bodies will generally be collected and used as a feast to satisfy their cravings. Spirit beast meat is easier to handle and tastier when cooked than the meat of similar monster beasts. Its nutritional value is also better than that of monster beasts of the same level and similar in quality. "Ha ha……" Tang Guangqiang chuckled as he called out to Cao Yongxiang, "Xiangzi, you take one of the dogs and I'll take the other. Let's go to a hidden spot near the river and get rid of them as quickly as possible!" "Huang Zhanglong! What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and take two people with you to prepare some large basins and knives!" "Oh, bring Xiangzi's spirit spear over here. Let Xiangzi practice his spear skills with these two spirit dogs. And dissect them quickly!" "I'm sure you won't fail to control your strength and cut these two dogs into pieces, right, Xiangzi?" This guy gained a lot today and was very happy to joke with his good brother Cao Yongxiang. The main reason was that he got the spiritual beast warhorse he had always dreamed of, and he was so happy. He and Cao Yongxiang had long been extremely envious of the boss's dark horse. Now that I have got one so easily, it would be strange if I am not happy. In fact, after the battle this morning, Cao Yongxiang gained more than he did and obtained the two spiritual weapons that Li Dingguo had used before. Tang Guangqiang was not jealous at all. Instead, he was very happy for his good brother. He was such an extrovert and very straightforward person. He said whatever he thought and didn't care about Liu Wenxiu who was nearby and rolled her eyes as she listened to him. snort! It would be great if I could make this little villain die of anger! "coming!" "You...and you...the three of you, come with me and help!" Huang Zhanglong, who was standing by, responded quickly and walked over quickly with three young men, each holding knives, pots, pans, and other kitchen utensils. They followed Cao Yongxiang and Tang Guangqiang, who were each dragging a spirit dog, and walked towards the river. Ai Nengqi, Liu Wenxiu and Zhang Huier are definitely going to have a free meal tonight. There was a rare look of embarrassment on their little faces, and they quickly followed suit, directing their team members to start helping and working separately. Li Dingguo took his spiritual spear and walked to an open space on the edge of the grassland. He began to dig holes and prepared to build a few simple smokeless stoves. In his previous life, he was very interested in this kind of life hack, and he even learned how to build two smokeless stoves on the Internet with great interest.
To put it simply, a smokeless stove is a masonry stove that must have sufficient internal space to allow firewood to burn fully and significantly reduce smoke emissions. The principle is very simple and there are several ways to build it. Once you understand it, it's very simple. If you don’t understand, you will feel you have no idea where to start and won’t be able to do it well. In Li Dingguo's previous life, in order to learn this little life skill, it took him nearly a week to completely master the construction of two extremely practical smokeless stoves. Now that he has been reborn into this magical world, these little skills in daily life will surely bring unexpected and great help to his military career. Of course he wouldn't do it alone, so he waved to a few idle members of his team to come over, and assigned three of them to go collect hay and dried vegetables nearby. Under his command, the remaining few people collected some materials such as stones on the spot and dug several adjacent pits on the ground. Since there are four teams in the youth camp, it is impossible to build only one stove. We need to build a few more. There are some things that you cannot be too fussy about, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. Given my current environment and situation, it is not the time to settle accounts with Liu Wenxiu and Zhang Kewang. Li Dingguo would never be magnanimous enough to let things go when it came to his enemies who targeted him. If you suffer a loss, you will pay it back with interest at the appropriate time. In a word, we should not tolerate those self-righteous enemies. Otherwise, the other party will become more aggressive and unscrupulous. (End of this chapter)
