"Jie Li's brain is fine. Tens of thousands of people were killed or injured. Are he really planning to stay outside the city for the New Year?" Li Xiu quickly wrapped all kinds of seasonings in gauze and threw them into the boiled pot.

"It's not that he has a brain problem, but wants to come back to get the benefits!" Ma Ye moved his knife in his hand. A clean sheep was chopped into more than a dozen pieces with bones and meat, and then threw it into the pot. Li Xiu took a spoon to scoop out the boiled foam. A few days ago, they defeated the Turks and seized a large amount of cattle and sheep supplies. Therefore, the Tang army in Qingzhou City has also had a very comfortable life these days, and almost every meal has meat.

"What? I heard it right? It's better to dare to come and come if you lose?" Li Xiu said in disbelief when he heard this. He was shaking his ears and said in disbelief. It was the first time he had heard of such a thing in two lives.

"What's strange about this? Although the Turks suffered heavy casualties this time, their troops were already more powerful than us. They still had the advantage in military strength. In addition, the national strength of the Turks was also stronger than ours. In recent years, the Tang Dynasty had been in aggrieved and demanding, so the Turks had long been used to looking down on us. Even if we occasionally won a battle, they still thought they had the upper hand. According to the past habit, as long as they threatened a few words, our Tang Dynasty would obediently send all kinds of supplies to send them back." Ma said disdainfully at this time. He had dealing with the Turks for many years and knew better than anyone else what the Turks were thinking.

"What if we don't give it?" Li Xiu asked again when he heard this.

"Don't give?" Ma Ye sneered again when he heard this, "According to the previous virtues of the Turks, if you don't give this time, they will send someone to threaten you and tell you that if you don't give this time, they will not retreat. And by the next year, they will organize more troops to go south. In the past, in order to take the overall situation into consideration, His Majesty would send them away every time, which would be considered as losing money and avoiding disaster."

"I'll go, that's OK?" Li Xiu shouted in surprise after hearing this. He always felt like a scoundrel who did what the Turks did. Not only did he not leave, but he was blocking the door of the house, shouting that if he didn't give him any benefits, he would hang himself at your door. If he really couldn't do it, he would call a group of brothers next time and hang him at your door together. Do you want to be afraid?

"What will the court do this time? Is it still necessary to lose money and avoid disasters?" Li Xiu inquired again, and then turned over the mutton in the pot with two long chopsticks so that the flavor of the seasoning can enter.

"Who knows this? However, the King of Qin has always advocated being tough on the Turks. He will preside over the military and political affairs of Qingzhou this time. Maybe he will be tough on the Turks to the end!" Ma Ye couldn't wait to use chopsticks to hold a small piece of mutton and stuff it into his mouth, which was covered with blood. He could not help but get down.

"It's really bad. You forgot to add salt!" Mr. Ma said, as he reached out to grab the salt and wanted to put it in the pot. Today he had a rare rest, and his subordinates sent another sheep, so he called Li Xiu to cook the mutton together. After it was ready, he would invite a group of old brothers to come and eat it together. This was a rare leisure on the battlefield.

"Don't put it in. You must not add salt when cooking mutton, otherwise the texture of the mutton will age. It's not too late to add salt when it is cooked!" Li Xiu hurriedly stopped Mr. Ma at this time, saying that he should not add salt when cooking mutton. This is what he learned from a Gansu brother in later generations. The mutton cooked in this way is tender enough.

"Okay, listen to you!" Master Ma knew that Li Xiu was proficient in cooking, so he put the salt aside and then was willing to help Li Xiu.

After cooking on high heat for nearly half an hour, Li Xiu pulled out some firewood and changed to a low heat to cook slowly. At this time, some foam floated out of the soup. He still cleaned it with a spoon and cooked it for another hour. At this time, the mutton was not only cooked, but also picked up the bones and shook it gently. The bones and meat could be separated, and the real bones and flesh were separated. Until then, Li Xiu sprinkled salt in it and then began to serve the meat.

"It smells so good. Lao Ma, you won't change your career as a chef, right?" At this moment, a generous voice suddenly came out of the door, and then a tall general walked in. What surprised Li Xiu was that the general was actually a Western Region, with a tall nose and deep eyes and a big beard, and he looked a bit similar to the famous uncle who was later generations of the lamplight.

"You have the tip of your nose. If you want to eat, come over and help!" Ma Ye laughed and scolded at the Western Regions general, and then introduced to Li Xiu, "This guy's name is He Panren, and he is also an old man in the Detachment of Women's Army."

After introducing the other party, Ma Ye pointed at Li Xiu and introduced: "Li Xiu, I have told you before that this young man has great kindness to our Women's Army. If it weren't for him, the princess would probably be in danger this time!"

Hearing Ma Ye’s introduction, He Panren, who came in, immediately put away his smile and bowed to Li Xiu with a solemn look on his face, "More than 10,000 soldiers from He's wife's army, thanked Li for helping him!"

Seeing the other party saluted, Li Xiu was immediately startled and hurriedly returned the salute, "General He is so polite. I am the one recommended by the princess, and I am also a member of the Detachment of Women, so it is my duty to save the princess!"

"Haha, I love hearing these words. We are all brothers of the Detachment of Women. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, we will claim our Detachment of Women!" He Panren heard that Li Xiu claimed to be half of the Detachment of Women, and then he laughed and patted his shoulder.

"Oh, Lao He, you actually know that you are from the Detachment of Women's Army. This is a rare thing!" At this moment, another bearded general strode in, but this person is an absolute Han man. However, according to his words, he doesn't seem to be very friendly to He Panren.

"Sir Xiang, please make your words clear. When will I not regard myself as a member of the Detachment of Women?" He Panren said furiously when he heard the words of the bearded general.

"Hmph, when did you know in your heart that anyone from the Detachment of Women ran to the Tiance Mansion every day?" The bearded general named Xiang snorted coldly, as if he seemed very dissatisfied with He Panren's actions.

"I……"

"Old Xiang, everyone is brother, why bother to say so badly? Brother He also has his difficulties." But before He Panren could speak again, he suddenly saw another tall and thin middle-aged general outside and walked in to interrupt him.
