No wind, warm sun.

Li Chao was wearing thick clothes, and he didn't feel cold when sitting on the ice, but was warm by the sun. It was half noon, the weather was just right, the temperature was just right, and the fish were the most active.

The fishing rod was put down and it didn't move.

But Li Chao was unmoved and sat there like a sculpture. He knew that the position he chose was right, the bait he used was very good, everything was perfect, so he didn't need to hesitate and doubt, all he had to do was wait.

Fishing often requires enough patience.

The ice layer is very thick. At this time, many warm-water fish have already stopped feeding and activity. This is the lowest fishing rate of the year, but relatively speaking, this is also the best time to catch cold-water fish in ice.

Many cold-water fish cannot survive when they exceed 20 degrees, but some fish, such as common grass carp, carp, crucian carp, have strong temperature adaptability.

Li Chao was waiting quietly.

About two miles away, Cheng Chumo and the others were still digging ice holes. They wanted to go under the ice net and needed to make more ice holes.

There are many species of fish in the Yellow River, but in this season, there are not many more active fish. Most fish stop eating and are not very active, and there are relatively few active species.

Asuna was a little impatient.

But Li Chao smiled at the corner of his mouth and the fishing rod moved.

Based on his feelings, Li Chao also knew that the fish that bites the hook was not small, and the fish was very fierce and had no temptation, so he ate the bait directly.

A big fish.

When the fish swallowed the bait and was hooked and started to struggle, Li Chao began to close the line and lift the rod without any haste.

The strength from the other end of the fishing rod told him that it was a big fish.

The fishing line was tightly tight, and Li Chao controlled the fishing rod and did not let it be too anxious. After all, the fishing rod in his hand was not the kind of fishing rod in later generations. It was not so elastic, and the line was not so strong. It was impossible to put the line and let the fish go. It was all in his hands.

When you first catch a fish, especially a big fish, you must not be too hasty. Don’t think about pulling the fish up immediately. At this time, the fish is very strong and it is easy to break the line if it is pulled hard.

The best way is to consume with him, relax and relax, and wait for the fish to toss and lose the strength when they have no strength.

"Hey, let's take the initiative, we have a great harvest." The fish has much strength in the water than people. A fish worth a few kilograms is sometimes comparable to the strength of an adult and strong man.

Yu Sheshe looked at Li Chao in surprise, and he didn't expect that there would be a big fish so soon. He didn't speak at the moment and came over to take the fishing rod. He was really strong, but as soon as he started, he immediately felt the huge strength coming from the rod.

"What a big fish."

The fish is struggling.

However, Yu Sheshe was a strong man on the grassland. He held the rod in both hands. The big fish that Li Chao had slipped away for a while could not defeat him after all. He pulled out the ice hole with a whistle.

When the fish jumped out of the hole, Li Chao had already seen spots on the fish's body.

"Big Pigfish!"

The fish was very big and the spots on its body were very conspicuous. Li Chao recognized it at a glance that it was bloody.

Pigfish is a cold-water fish. In later generations, it was more in some rivers in the northeast. But at this time, there were also many pigfish in the Yellow River, especially in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, with many.

"It turned out to be a duck fish."

Yu Sheshi said as he looked at the fish he had struggled to lift up.

Li Chao called the pike, and Yuzhe called it the duck fish.

In fact, pike and duck fish are both a kind of fish.

Pigfish is a freshwater fish and a coldwater fish. Its mouth is as big as a duck's beak and has a protruding jaw.

This fish seems ordinary, but it is the most ferocious and rough. It is a carnivorous fish. In addition to attacking other fish, they also attack frogs, rats and even wild ducks.

It is said that a pike can eat a token that is comparable to his weight, and it has a long lifespan, so huge individuals can often be found.

This fish has a great meat flavor and is a great target in winter fishing.

This big pike is even a giant elder.

"These fish, in the water, are like wolves on the grassland, the most ferocious. Only in this season is the best season to catch them."

Yu Sheshi looked at the big duck fish that was still jumping on the ice after it was out of the water, and estimated that, "This fish is at least thirty or forty kilograms."

Li Chao walked over to look at the fish. It was a black spotted pike. It was very fat and had a pointed mouth. It looked very fierce and aggressive at first glance. It looked a bit like a big loach.

The body is slender, slightly flat, and the mouth is extremely wide, accounting for half of the length. It also has many teeth and is covered with spots.

"We have a good taste today. The fish grows fast, the meat is tender and white, and the taste is delicious. In this cold weather, stew a pike, it is extremely delicious."

Ordinary pikes, smaller ones, are delicious directly braised. Large ones, and they are delicious when stewed. However, this pike is too big, thirty or forty pounds, which is extremely large.

Such fish can be used to make a table full pike banquet and can make more than ten dishes.

The fish struggled and jumped, but finally stopped moving on the snow. No matter how cold the fish was, they could not adapt to the low temperature on the ice and freeze.

Li Chao took off the hook and lifted the fish in his hand and felt it. He couldn't beat it with thirty hands, and it probably was thirty-five or six pounds. If the fish was still alive, it would definitely not be able to hold it. He could beat the person aside with a swaying tail.

Yu Sheshi secretly admired her.

Li Qiaolai chose this position at a glance, then digged an ice hole and placed the bait and hook. In less than a cup of tea, he caught a big pike of more than 30 kilograms. He was really convinced of this ability.

"I'll make a few more holes." Yu Sheshe walked to the side, picked up the ice chisel, and began to continue chiseling ice on the side.

Li Chao sat back to the edge of the ice cave with a smile and continued to hang the bait.

If you catch a big fish here, you don’t need to change the place, it just means that the location is good.

Of course, you can put more poles by making a few more holes.

Yu Sheshi worked very hard. In a short while, he cut three holes to remove ice slag and debris. His thick fingers caught the earthworm hook. His movement was like a fierce Zhang Fei's needle embroidery.

After all four fishing rods were put down, Li Chao made a small hole in the ice, then directly inserted the rod on it, and walked aside with the big pike.

Not far away, there is a tent.

Li Xiuning and several of his female captains were fishing in the tent.

There were blankets in the tent, fires were growing, and several ice holes were exposed in the middle, so they were fishing. However, the women were not quiet, and they were chatting while fishing. Their attention was not on fishing, nor even whether they could catch fish.

Li Chao shouted outside.

"Ship, big pike, how do you want to eat it?"

Li Xiuning lifted the tent and was very surprised to see the big fish in Li Chao's hand.

"How good is it? You caught fish, and it's still so big?"

"Fishing is that simple, just choose the right position, prepare the bait, and then wait for the fish to take the bait by themselves."

"What you said is easy, but we have no movement here."

"You are chatting and fishing, how dare you come over? You have exposed yourself, no wonder others."

Li Xiuning came over a few times and looked around the big fish in Li Chao's hand for a long time, "How can this fish be made delicious?"

"Fry, stew, braised and everything is OK."

"Then let's get one."

"Yes, come and give me a blow."

When I came, I had already brought cookware, so it was convenient to make fish.

Li Xiuning was growing a stove and setting a pot while Li Chao killed fish. Li Chao was a clever chef, and killing fish was much smoother than killing people.

A knife in his hand was extremely smooth. He cut the edges and chopped the pieces and sliced ​​them.

Fish soaked cod liver fish oil can be fried, fish head can be stewed, fish meat can be fried, fish bones can be fried with some meat powder

"Hey, Lee Sang, the fish is on the bait!"

Yu She was shouting there.

"Catch yourself!" Li Chao didn't look back.

Li Xiuning looked at Yu Shooting, holding the fishing rod and pressing hard there, and turned to Li Chao and said, "Do you believe he really surrendered?"

Li Chao smiled and said, "Can the incident be so far, can we still make a false surrender?"

Regardless of whether it is real or fake, he will bring Yu Sheshi back to Xiangyang. It can be said that Yu Sheshi will basically be the same as Jie Li for the rest of his life. They will never be able to leave the Central Plains. They can only be guests of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty for the rest of their life, drinking and playing ball, and enjoying the wealth of the Central Plains.

As for returning to the grassland, you can't even think about it.

"Where are all his subordinates, do you want to take them back to the Central Plains?"

"I will definitely not let the tiger go back to the mountain. I will take them to Xiangyang and listen to your Majesty's decision at that time."

Except for the Turkic wounded soldiers who did not take them away, he almost had to take them away. He would pick a few people to stay and let them go back with Yu Sheshi's warrant.

When Yu Sheshi was in the Houtao Plain, he had tens of thousands of people in his hand. However, after so many changes, although he has been stationed in the grasslands in the western desert, he has not many people in his hand.

Most tribes may not obey him, especially when he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, most tribes may not listen to him.

However, it was a little bit possible to take away. Li Chao was going to ask Yu Sheshi's troops to send orders and take all the people who could be taken away to the south and first place them in the Duke of Zhao.

"Will this lead the wolf into the house?"

The Central Plains dynasty often moved inward to resettle tribes in the grassland, but often these tribes that relied on the inner side would eventually cause trouble.

Just like when Qimin Khan was defeated, the Sui Dynasty assigned Dingxiang and Daibei to them, and even gave them wine and chorus land. As a result, Qimin's son Shibi Khan immediately bit the big Sui Dynasty and almost surrounded and killed Yang Guang in Yanmen.

No matter how long it is, the Five Barbarians invaded China are also because of the relocation of the Hu people.

"Don't worry, these people just moved them to the Duke of Zhao for the time being, and they just put their feet on them first. I can't keep them there."

Li Chao has always maintained a vigilant attitude towards the Hu clan. If he is not a clan, his heart will be different. This has been verified many times.
