Great Wei Nengchen

Pass on my decree, let General Cao Xiu lead his troops across the river, go straight to health, capture Sun Quan alive, let General Hussars intercept Wu's reinforcements, and the rest of the ministries must also prepare to cross the river! "

"But Your Majesty, our army is not [-]% sure about the decisive battle at this time, it's better to postpone it for a while!"

"Needless to say, my hundreds of thousands of troops can't afford to wait anymore, and I can't afford to wait any longer. I will cross the river immediately and fight to the death. If anyone dissuades me, I will be killed!"

"According to the order!"

After some debate, regardless of the dissuasion of the officials, Cao Pi gave the order for a decisive battle, drew out the Yitian sword, and cut off a corner of the Long Shuan to show his determination!

Hua Xin, Wang Lang and the others wanted to persuade them again, but seeing Cao Pi's red, murderous eyes and the shining sword in his hand, they could only sigh and stopped talking.

In the fifth year of Huangchu - on June 22, General Cao Xiu personally led 15 troops and more than 2000 large and small warships, set sail from Gaoyou Lake, and rushed to the south bank of the Yangtze River along the waterway...

Chapter 1692 The Emperor Who Can't Eat Seafood!

Guanying City-In the palace, Cao Pi sat in the middle, accompanied by civil and military officials on both sides, everyone was nervous, watching the progress of the battle...

"Report - On the night of June 22, General Cao Xiu divided his troops into four teams, and under the cover of night, marched towards the south bank of the Yangtze River one after another!"

"Report--at dawn, the general personally led the vanguard with 3 troops, boarded the beach on the south bank, and launched a fierce battle with the Wu army. The two sides fought fiercely!"

"Report--The general won a complete victory, defeated the Wu army guarding the beach, beheaded [-] people, captured [-] people, occupied Dantu and Qu'a cities in succession, and the second team landed smoothly."

…………

In order to command the soldiers and horses from all walks of life, Cao Pi set up a station on the north bank of the Yangtze River every 48 miles, with a total of [-] stations, and equipped with the most capable postmen and the strongest horses to ensure the unimpeded flow of news!

For example, the news that Cao Xiu led his troops across the river can be accurately delivered to Guanying City-Xinggong in just one day and one night, and the distance between the two places is more than 300 miles. Cross rivers and travel through mountains!

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, the general is progressing smoothly, and has established a firm foothold on the south bank of the river. The next step is to attack Jian'an City!"

"There is no movement at Chaisang's camp. I think Lu Xun hasn't received the news yet. By the time he reacts, I'm afraid the general's troops have already reached the city of health!"

"Haha, come here, set up a banquet, and I will eat and drink with all my lovers while waiting for the general's good news!"

"According to the order!"

Battle reports kept coming, and the army crossed the river smoothly. Cao Pi and the officials couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Gao Xuan let go of half of his heart.

Because they were worried about crossing the river, Cao Pi and his officials didn't think about food and drink for several days, but now they relaxed and felt hungry.

Delicious delicacies are on the table, mainly fish, such as carp, crucian carp, herring, grass carp, silver carp, bighead carp... There are also various ways to eat, such as steaming, braised in soy sauce, boiling soup, and cutting food directly The sashimi, the name is: 'fish stick', this is the way of eating in the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

The reason why the whole fish banquet was held was not a whim, but Cao Jun’s supply difficulties. In order to save food as much as possible, the soldiers could only eat on the spot and eat whatever they had, and there were the most fish and shrimp in the Yangtze River.

So Cao Jun sent a large number of people to catch fish and shrimps in the river every day, and dig up some river mussels, loach, crabs, etc., and distributed them to the soldiers of each battalion. After eating them for several months, the camp was full of stench. Some soldiers vomited from eating, but there was nothing they could do if they didn’t eat, so the ministers had to set an example and hold a whole fish feast every three days!

"Your Majesty, I wish you the best of luck—to flatten Jiangdong and rule the world!"

"Haha, after I rule the world, I will share the wealth and honor with all my lovers and enjoy peace!"

"Victory drink! - Victory drink!"

The ministers were flattering and eating fresh fish, but on Cao Pi's table, there were only some beef and mutton and a few seasonal vegetables, but there was no fishy smell at all!

Is it because Cao Pi doesn't like fish?

On the contrary, Cao Pi likes to eat fish very much, and he can’t even live without fish. However, in the past ten years, let alone fish, Cao Pi has never even had a sip of fish soup!

It's a long story. In order to compete for the reserve position, Cao Pi did not hesitate to use bitter tricks, instigated his subordinates to shoot himself in the heart with a poisoned arrow, and then planted the spoils on Cao Zhi, making him unable to argue, and finally lost the qualification to win the reserve!

Later, the doctors pulled out the poisonous arrows in time and saved Cao Pi's life, but the toxin still remained in the body, which had penetrated deep into the internal organs, and acupuncture and medicine could not be cleared!

Fortunately, there is very little residual poison, which will not endanger Cao Pi's life, nor will it hinder daily life, but the doctors have repeatedly confessed:

Let Cao Pi cultivate fertility, don't be overjoyed and sad, and fast all seafood, otherwise it will stimulate the residual poison in the body, cause great harm to the body, and even endanger life!

Cao Pi firmly remembered the doctor's advice. For many years, not only did he not eat seafood and sea fish, he even refused to eat freshwater fish, so he has been safe and sound!

The doctors who knew about this incident mysteriously 'disappeared' afterwards, so the fact that Cao Pi could not eat seafood is still a secret, even the personal eunuchs don't know, they only think that the emperor doesn't like seafood!

…………

"Report to Your Majesty, when the general was patrolling the river bank, he found a monster in the shallow water!"

"Oh, what kind of monster is it?"

"Come up!"

While eating and drinking, General Polu-Xiahoucheng came in, followed by eight soldiers, carried a huge object with wooden poles and ropes, and placed it on the floor of the palace!

It turned out to be a big fish, weighing at least three or four hundred catties, with a spindle-shaped body, a pointed head and a long snout, and a mouth under the abdomen. There were five longitudinal bone plates on the back, sides, and ventral sides, with spine-like protrusions, ferocious and mighty. The one who shakes his head and tail is still alive!

Most of Cao Pi and his officials are from the north, and they have never seen such a big fish. They were all a little dumbfounded for a while, and their curiosity was aroused!

"My dear friends, does anyone know this thing?"

"I'm blind, I've never seen this thing before, could it be the legendary boat-swallowing fish?"

"This fish is certainly not small, but it is not big enough to swallow a boat. Judging from its ferocious and mighty appearance, it is probably a remnant of the dragon clan!"

"Call the guide and ask for clarification!"

All the ministers stepped forward to watch and discussed for a while, but they couldn't come to a conclusion for Big Yu, so they had to summon the guide. The guide is specially to guide the way for the army. He is familiar with the local mountains, rivers, terrain, customs, and customs Those who have achieved it cannot let it go!

After a while, the guide came in, and was startled when he saw the big fish, walked around a few times, nodded thoughtfully, and then introduced it in detail...

"Reporting to Your Majesty: This thing is a sturgeon, a special product of the Yangtze River. It is extremely large, and it is suspected to have the blood of a dragon, so it is also called 'Hulu fish', or 'Fish King!'

When this fish was young, it lurked deep in the waves of the Yangtze River, and it was difficult for the world to see it. It only surfaced when it grew up. The small fish was more than a hundred catties, and the big one was hundreds of catties. Fish for food!

Sturgeon is the best fish with delicious meat, but it is so big and powerful that fishermen cannot catch it at all. Only when the river is flooded, the sturgeon occasionally strands on the shore can be used by fishermen. Get it, so you can meet it but never ask for it! "

(The book secretly confesses: Sturgeon is a large migratory fish, usually inhabits the southeast coast of China, belongs to saltwater fish, and feeds on other fish and genus A!

After the sturgeons mature, they will migrate to the Yangtze River in groups, reach the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and reproduce in the lower section of the Jinsha River. After the eggs hatch, the juveniles swim back to the sea to live!

The ancients didn't know the reason, but thought that the sturgeon had been lurking in the depths of the Yangtze River when it was young, and only surfaced when it grew up, so they regarded it as a freshwater fish! )

"In the past, King Wu conquered Zhou and saved Mengjin. In the midstream, a white fish jumped into the king's boat. It was a call for auspiciousness. Therefore, the Yin and Shang Dynasties were destroyed in the first battle, and Zong Zhou's 800-year foundation was established!

Now that His Majesty is on a personal expedition to crusade against Sun Wu's guilty country, and the sturgeon fish jumping ashore is also a call for great auspiciousness. In this battle, our army will surely win and Sun Wu will be destroyed. I would like to congratulate Your Majesty! "

"Long live Long live Long live!"

Singing praises to the emperor is one of the compulsory courses for courtiers, not to mention such a huge sturgeon, it is indeed auspicious.

"Haha, the auspicious things bestowed by the gods, I should share them with all my lovers. Come here, set a cauldron to cook fish, and share the deliciousness!"
