Li Xiu was so hungry that he couldn't sleep. He was moving in the military camp until dawn was about to go back. However, at this moment, a group of people rushed into the camp gate that had just been opened. Among the team, he saw a familiar figure, which was Li Daozong who had gone to his place to have a meal every day before.

Li Daozong immediately saw Li Xiu at first sight, and immediately slapped forward and laughed: "Why did the prince-consort get up so early? He also came to the camp gate. Could it be that he knew I was coming back, so he came to greet him, right?"

"I don't have the ability to predict the future. I just woke up from hunger this morning, so I came out for a walk. I didn't expect that I would just come back when I met you." Li Xiu couldn't help but smile. However, when he said this, he suddenly asked strangely, "By the way, yesterday I heard from Mr. Tang that you should have come back yesterday, why are you back now?"

"Haha, everyone says that Tang Gong is lucky and has a great fortune, but I think my luck is no less than Tang Gong. Jie Li was captured by me last time. This time I went to dig the road ahead. As a result, I actually opened up the road with General Qin Qiong. It was precisely because of this reason that I delayed until now to come back!" Li Daozong laughed and said with serene satisfaction.

"What? Have you seen General Qin?" Li Xiu couldn't help but scream in shock when he heard this, and then asked anxiously, "How about General Qin and the others? Have you seen Uncle Ma?"

"Don't worry, Prince Concubine, I saw General Qin. General Ma was there at that time. Their situation was actually better than us, because General Qin led a pure cavalry. Although he brought less food, he had many horses. Many people had robbed many horses from grassland people before, which also led to most of them having two horses, even one and more horses. As a result, when I saw General Qin, he even invited me to eat horse meat. The only pity was that these were all war horses, but in order to survive, they had to do this!" Li Daozong couldn't help but say with some heartache when he spoke at the end.

The Tang Dynasty was a government military system. Except for a few elite soldiers, most of the soldiers had to bring their own horses, food and weapons. In this case, if the government soldiers were to work hard for the court to fight, they would be relatively relaxed in some matters. For example, the spoils seized during the war were generally divided into proportion by the soldiers and the court. For example, if a soldier seized two horses, he only needed to offer one, and the remaining one would be his own.

However, it is precisely because soldiers can take the spoils as existing, which also led to the Tang army's lack of military discipline when fighting, especially when fighting against foreign countries. Looting civilians is a trivial matter, and the most serious thing is the massacre of the city. After the massacre, the wealth in the entire city became the military, and they could take whatever they wanted.

It is also worth mentioning that some generals in the Tang army are not good birds. Many people deliberately make excuses to massacre the city in order to inspire the morale of the army or to plunder private wealth by themselves. The most prominent representative is Cheng Yaojin. This guy doesn't look like an official family at all, but rather like a butcher. This time he attacked the Turks, the reason why Li Shimin did not send Cheng Yaojin, who he trusted, as the chief general of any journey was because he was afraid that he would kill too many people and cause resistance from the grassland people.

Of course, Cheng Yaojin later caused trouble for the massacre of the city and was punished several times, but he was Li Shimin's beloved general, so he didn't take the general punishment at all. Instead, he rose step by step in the future and had a long life. Although it was not as written in the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, he lived to be over 80 years old. This could have been called a birthday star in ancient times. Thinking about his life of killing and setting fire, he could have lived for so long. If those who died at his hands had spirits in heaven, they would definitely be scolding God for being blind.

"It is the most important thing for people to live. Now that the Turks have been destroyed by us, the grassland is almost ours. The horses still have as much as they want. In addition, it is too uncomfortable to be hungry. I feel that I can swallow a horse now!" Li Xiu said at the end, and he couldn't help but rub his stomach. At this time, he felt even hungry.

"Hehe~, you have a good time, my son-in-law, I'll bring some things. When you go back, you ask your maid to do it, and then call Mr. Tang, and wait until we eat and chat!" Hearing Li Xiu's words, Li Daozong suddenly smiled mysteriously, then took a heavy bag from the horse and stuffed it into Li Xiu's hand and said.

"What's so heavy?" Li Xiu felt his hands sinking when he received the bag. His limbs were weak, which almost made him unable to handle the bag.

"Didn't I go digging a road before? As a result, my brother accidentally dug a slope. A soldier from Hu found out that there were prey on the slope at a glance, so we dug it open. As a result, we really found a lot of prey hidden inside. I ate some before, and I specially asked someone to leave some to you to send it to you. After all, I ate so many meals before, and now I finally made some statements!" Li Daozong smiled at this time. The soldiers who went to dig the road not only ate well, but also had some extra benefits. Of course, they were a little tired. Fortunately, the time was not long, which was conducive to keeping them working efficiently.

Hearing that this was the prey dug out by Li Daozong, although he didn't know what animal it was, it was definitely edible. This made Li Xiu's eyes lit up, and his body was filled with strength. He didn't feel heavy when he held the bag of dozens of kilograms in his hand. He said a few more words to Li Daozong. After learning that Qin Qiong might come back to see Li Jing within a few days, he felt relieved. Then he said goodbye to Li Daozong, turned around and returned to his camp.

Breakfast has not started to be distributed at this time, so many people still haven't gotten up. Lying in the quilt can save some energy. Even the patrol soldiers went back to rest. When Li Xiu returned to his tent, he found that Yuechan had already gotten up and was cleaning the tent. Although the conditions were simple, she still tried her best to create a good living conditions for Li Xiu.

"Yuechan, don't clean it. What did Li Daozong send?" As soon as Li Xiu came in, he waved to Yuechan excitedly. It was windy outside just now, and he couldn't smell anything. However, when he entered the tent, he immediately smelled a fishy smell and bloody smell that was unique to the bag. Usually these two smells may feel annoying, but in extreme hunger, Li Xiu actually felt that these two smells were very attractive, and even saliva increased the secretion.
