Chapter 821
Fengzhou.
Li Chao did not rush to leave. The war had just stopped and the dust had settled, so it still needed some time to rest and arrange. The injured soldiers, whether Turkic soldiers or Tang soldiers, were placed in the injured camp and given timely treatment.
The surrendered Turkic soldiers have not yet returned their war horse weapons, and are still alone in the Turkic camp in the city.
The nobles such as Yu Sheshe were warmly entertained by Li Chao and were arranged next to Li Chao's residence. This was also a disguised detention, preventing him from contacting his subordinates.
The wind and snow stopped.
The sun outside is very big.
When he woke up early in the morning, Li Chao arranged for some people to continue cleaning the battlefield, check the identity of the dead, and then sent them to dig a hole outside the city to bury them. The remaining people were asked to repair Fengzhou City.
It was too cold and Li Chao did not do anything big. He simply repaired a few city gates that had been destroyed when they were evacuated, and then cleaned up the main street.
Li Chao had no intention of staying.
But there are many wounded soldiers here, so they must not be taken all of them. After discussing with his subordinates and Yu Sheshi yesterday, Li Chao decided to leave the wounded soldiers. Li Chao also left a group of subordinates and stationed in Fengzhou and took care of the wounded soldiers.
Under the surveillance of the Tang army, the Turkic soldiers helped restore Fengzhou City.
After Li Chao got up early and exercised, he invited Yu She and left the city together.
Outside Fengzhou City, there is a piece of silver covered in silver.
The outside of the city behind the snow is very beautiful, with white everywhere, no wind, snow or rain, making people feel very happy.
The sob was a little low. The battle ended yesterday. He surrendered yesterday. His injuries were bandaged, but the injuries in his heart were not so easy to heal.
Until now, he still doesn't understand why eight thousand people beat two thousand people, but after 1 to one casualties, he was still defeated.
Li Chao called him out early in the morning, but he had no objection, just rode a horse and followed him.
The Turks respected their promises, and the words spoken by the man on the grassland were like spitting out nails, and they would not be changed easily. Although surrender was forced to be helpless due to the situation, he had thought about it carefully.
"General Ashina, you're looking at this weather today, just go for ice fishing."
"Ice fishing?" Yu Sheshi Ashina repeated the sentence, saying that he was not interested in ice fishing, but in fact he was not interested in anything now.
After surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, he didn't know what his future life would be like, and he was confused about the future.
"General Ashina, now it is the middle of winter when the ground is covered with frost and snow, and fish dive deep into deep water. The cold flowers are covered with snow and the willow ice beads are covered with green strips. This is also a great time for fishing in winter every year."
"Birds fly across thousands of mountains, and people die in thousands of paths. The old man in a boat, the straw hat, fishes alone in the snow in the cold river. The leisurely fishing in winter is a great wild interest."
Asuna Tunmo forced a smile. He thought this was the attitude of Li Chao's winner. Of course, the winner could go to winter fishing leisurely. If he had won him yesterday, what would he do today?
It’s definitely not winter fishing. The warriors on the grassland definitely don’t have the patience to fish. Besides, in winter, the river is full of ice, so is it easy to fish?
He doesn't know.
If I was the one who won yesterday, today I might drink fine wine and eat barbecue in Fengzhou City. Or, I would ride my horse outside and hunt flying foxes and snow rabbits.
Unfortunately, the winner was Li Chao. Today, no matter whether he wanted to or not, he could only accompany him to winter fishing.
"The poem just now was well written. Is that your poem?"
Li Chao thought about it and seemed that he had recited a poem by Liu Zongyuan inadvertently. Poet Liu had not been born yet, so he had to laugh at the moment.
“Arbitrary work.”
Yu Sheshi let the horse move slowly, but said seriously, "I don't like this poem. I still like Duke Zhao's previous poems about frontiers and wars. Those poems are even more exciting and heroic when read. This poem, well, feels so bleak. It's like an old man, drowsy and full of dusk."
"Duke Zhao, you are still so young, but you do such a poem. Does it mean that you are brave enough to retreat bravely?"
Li Chao was a little impressed by this big guy who looked like a bear, but he didn't expect that this person could still understand poetry.
"It's just a game, a work that suits the situation, and there's no other intention. Let's go, the Yellow River is ahead, so you must fish for a good time today."
Fengzhou City is right next to the river in the southern branch of the Yellow River, very close to it.
At this time, the Yellow River has frozen and frozen.
If you freeze an inch, you can walk on the ice. At this time, the frozen river surface is three feet long, which is not a day long. Such a thick ice surface is not only walking, but also galloping.
This is also an important issue that the Central Plains dynasty needs to face to defend the northern border. No matter how wide and dangerous the rivers are, they may face a cut off or freezing in winter, and from a dangerous road to a smooth road. When the rivers cut off or freezing, they can no longer become a barrier of the Han family and cannot stop the iron hoofs of the Turks.
Even the canal channel, which was originally a best-selling, will not be able to open to navigation early in winter.
Not long after moving forward, a frozen river will always be in front of you.
The river surface is lower than the two sides, just like a long dragon in the bank sleeping there. It had just snowed, and the glacier was covered with a thick layer of white snow.
"General Ashina, do you like to set up a tent, lay a blanket, set a table, burn a stove, cook hot tea, and then fish in a warm tent while drinking tea, or do you like to order it directly?"
Winter fishing is relatively free.
You can fish in a tent comfortably or directly chisel ice on the river, each with its own fun.
"Since you're here to fish, why bother to find a place and just fish."
Yu Sheshe had never caught fish before, let alone winter fishing. He prefers horse hunting, and the feeling of running and chasing is better.
Li Chao brought a lot of people here, of course not everyone came to fish.
In order to deal with Yu Sheshe, Li Chao and the 2,000 people deliberately procrastinated along the way. After many days of taking the Duke of Zhao, they came here. At this time, there was only a little meat, floss, milk, and so on. These were brought when they came from Hedong. After all, the Duke of Zhao still had nothing.
Asuna Mo led 8,000 people to intercept him, and he only brought a small amount of jerky. Now, the two teams have 6,000 strong spirits, plus more than 2,000 wounded soldiers. There are still a few more days of rest in Fengzhou, so of course they can't eat jerky all day.
Stewed horse meat is not delicious either.
Li Chao came to fish today and brought a lot of subordinates here to come here for winter fishing and ice tracing.
Let Cheng Chumo and a few guys with winter fishing experience take a group of soldiers to fish downstream points with a large net made, while Li Chao takes Yu She to the upstream point to find ice fishing places.
"Don't you just find a place to dig a hole and fish?" Yu Sheshi saw Li Chao walking around there, looking around, and asked in confusion.
Li Chao smiled.
“Fishing in winter is not that simple.”
Experienced fishermen have summarized a lot of experience in winter fishing.
Fishing proverbs say that caves and potholes are the best fishing spots. This actually requires the fisherman to know the underwater terrain and landform well.
"There are also a few fishing proverbs: Fishing by the pool in the warm weather, fishing by the river and bay in the cold weather, and the sun comes out in winter, don't fish deep in the deep places. The water temperature is not suitable, and there is no chance to get a rod. Also, looking for grass nests when fishing in ice, and hiding many fish under the water, these are all experiences. Experience is a good thing, and it can help us avoid many detours."
Li Chao is now looking for a river beside it. Because the sun is strong today, he also wants to find a place with grass nests beside the river beside it. With a lot of dead grass, fish can hide and protect against wind and cold. This is the best habitat for fish in winter.
On strong winds and snowy days, ice fishing is not suitable. The weather is poor, people are uncomfortable and fish are not comfortable. The fish comes out and there are few activities, making it difficult to catch. Ice fishing is more suitable on sunny days, but some issues should be paid attention to.
Experienced fishermen will face the sun and go back to the leewards, ice fishing is feasible. It is better to fish in the sun and not the deep pool behind the sun. Li Chao himself concluded that ice fishing should fully consider the water temperature, dissolved oxygen and food, which is the key to choosing a position.
Li Chao was on the glacier and soon locked in a very nice shoal on the sunny side of the river.
"This place must be accurate when fishing."
Yu Sheshe was half-believing and half-doubted, thinking that what Li Chao said was a bit mysterious.
How could a person stand on the thick ice and know so much about the fish under the water? But thinking about how he lost so badly every time since he fought with Li Chao, he seemed a bit credible.
Once you have chosen the location, you will naturally start chiseling ice.
Yu Sheshi said that men don’t need tents or something, so Li Chao naturally followed his wishes. Anyway, fishing on the glacier is actually a pleasure.
He used steel chisels to chisel ice. The ice was very thick, but this was not a problem for those who could compete on the battlefield. Yu Sheshi took the initiative to dig ice and drill holes, and Li Chao gave him the task.
Yu Shishi chiseled the ice very hard, and it seemed to treat the ice as Li Chao. Every time he drilled, there were ice chips flying. After a few efforts, a large ice mouth had been chiseled open.
Without Li Chao's words, he picked up the net bag and scattered the broken ice in the hole.
"Thank you."
Li Chao looked at the perfect ice cave and thanked him.
Then start baiting.
The baits for fishing are also very particular, and they are all kinds of. However, winter fishing is basically based on fresh meat bait. As the old saying goes, spring, summer, and autumn are natural, and fishing for meat baits are the most greedy.
Li Chao took out the earthworms. They were fresh earthworms, which were finally dug up. These earthworms were filled with insulation boxes, and Li Chao also dipped them in sesame oil.
This sesame oil earthworm bait has the greatest attraction in this season.
The more fragrant or fishier the bait you fish in winter, the better.
Fishing in summer also requires making a nest, but fishing in winter can save this step. You can directly use the most fragrant or fishiest bait to get the fish on the bait.
Fish hook into the water.
Li Chao sat on the stool and stopped talking.
Yu Sheshe stood aside and watched. He was very curious whether Li Chao could really catch one by one as he said.
"Give me some time. The fish were a little scared when they were chiseled. They had to wait for a while, and in a while, they would be attracted by the bait and be caught."
Yu Sheshi was just staring at the ice cave.
If it is true as Li Chao said in a while, then he will be convinced by Li Chao. After all, it is not worth wondering if a person who can calculate even fish is so powerful that he can plot against himself.
