"It's time to eat. Come out and line up to eat."
When the Khitan captives arrived, they saw many snacks and people buying and selling things outside.
On the other side was a tent. They knew what it was.
The messenger who passed the message and orders said that the southwest barbarians were captives.
They were curious to see what the southwest barbarians ate. The messenger didn't say anything.
There were still more than 5,000 captives left behind today. The other 5,000 went to the coal mine.
The Li Family Zhuangzi didn't pay for the coal. All the coal they dug out was lumps of coal and didn't go through the washing process.
The quality of the coal wasn't very good. It was far worse than the Fushun open-pit mine.
Li Yi didn't have a choice. Otherwise, why would he always target the northeast? The iron mine and coal mine were just right.
The 5,000 people who went to the coal mine were the ones who performed well during the snow removal process.
The remaining 5,000 people who stayed behind to clean the snow both times were the ones with the lowest points.
They were very anxious. If there was no work to do and they didn't get a chance, wouldn't their points be lower next time?
When they heard the order to eat, they rushed out as fast as they could. They lined up according to their points.
They washed their hands first, then lined up in line. They took their bamboo tubes and plates and waited to get their food.
The further back they were, the worse the food they ate. The people who got their food didn't have much food left.
No one cared about the Khitan captives. Bacharr walked out of the line and stood beside a person who was getting his food.
He looked down and saw that the rice was cooked. There was bran in it and some pickled vegetables.
He waved to his people, and the other 389 people came forward.
They knew that the bran was used to feed livestock and poultry in the Tang dynasty's Fushun.
The southwest barbarian captives used a small bamboo tube to store water and two halves of the bamboo tube to store rice. They took it to the side to eat.
The Thousand Bull Guards were guarding them with weapons. The Winged Knights also came to help.
The squad leaders were better, but the captains were more vegetables.
Bacharr walked to Li Yi and asked, "Are we eating that too?"
"Aren't you eating scallion pancakes? Are you hungry from the journey? Where do you want to eat? If you eat here, you won't find it cold. There's a place for the Qianniu Guards to get food. Go on, take your own plate. "
Li Yi glared at him. What do you mean by eat this? How much good stuff is there in the scallion pancakes? We'll give you vegetables to eat in the middle of winter.
"Brothers, wash your hands first. You have your own soap and towels. Don't use theirs." Bacharcha really went to greet the others.
The three hundred and ninety Khitan captives found a place to wash their hands. After wiping themselves clean, they carefully went to retrieve the plates.
The Thousand Bull Guards communicated with the Winged Knights who were escorting the Khitan captives. They raised their weapons vigilantly but did not stop them.
The Khitan captives learned from the Qianniu Guard. They held a plate in one hand and used a spoon to pick the food they wanted from the trough of the dining cart.
"You're allowed to eat, but you're not allowed to leave any leftovers. You can eat as much as you want. It's free. Don't cheat the Li Family Zhuangzi." The Qianniu Guards warned.
"I know, I know. I've heard," Bacharcha replied with a smile.
The person who was eating noodles with his head lowered was at a loss. What was going on?
Are you sure you were caught? Handkerchiefs and soap were understandable. The other southwestern barbarian captives also had them.
What's with eating? Serve himself? They didn't care about you when you were running around?
The Khitan captives had only eaten a scallion pancake after traveling so far. They were already hungry. They were soldiers and could eat a lot.
Now that they had served themselves, they looked around and found a table for the stall owner. They went over and sat down.
They placed their plates there and glanced at the place where they got free soup. They ran over to get a bowl and returned to eat.
They didn't sit at the same table as the stall owner. They were spread out.
The Winged Knights watched and didn't stop them. Li Yi agreed.
Two Khitan captives even sat at the same table as the person who was eating noodles. The person who was eating noodles turned his body slightly and continued to lower his head.
"This dish is delicious. It's a little sweet."
A Khitan captive ate ate braised chicken. He didn't know what it was when he scooped it. When the Qianniu Guards scooped it, he followed suit.
"I'm eating chives. Why is it yellow? It's fried with eggs. The rice is also fragrant. "
Another captive ate ate a mouthful and tasted it. He didn't know what chives were.
"Henalan, where do you think we should stay tonight? Set up a new tent next to the southwest barbarians? "The person who ate the braised chicken asked.
"I don't know. It doesn't seem like it. Li Dongzhu treats us well. It's different from how he treats the southwest barbarians." The person who was called Henalan replied.
The person who was eating noodles: "…"
You're calling him 'Li Dongzhu' just like that? You are the elites of the Khitan Empire.
"Li Dongzhu is indeed telling the truth. Otherwise, how easy would it be for him to kill us? He, eh? It's fine. Let's eat. "
The person who was eating braised chicken suddenly recognized the person who was showing his side profile. He quickly lowered his head.
Henalan looked up and sighed. "Gadamu, we have no choice. Li Dongzhu is too powerful. He can fly.
A tree more than six hundred steps away. His weapon, called a gun, hit it with one shot.
Two hundred steps away, the pheasant's head was gone. When he dealt with us, he used needles. The needles were poisonous.
Those who were pricked fell in ten breaths. Fortunately, he detoxified the poison.
Also, he threw things that emitted smoke. Those who were touched by the smoke couldn't even stand, let alone fight. "
"Yes, yes. In the end, he didn't kill anyone and forced us to surrender.
A thousand Winged Knights blocked our people in the canyon and even released smoke. What else could the people in the canyon do but surrender? "
Gadamu added, still not raising his head.
The person who was in charge heard clearly. It's not that our army didn't work hard, but the enemy was too strong.
He quickly thought it through. There were a total of 390 brothers, and the Tang dynasty sent out a thousand Winged Knights.
They couldn't win against the Winged Knights in a head-on fight. The selection and training of the Winged Knights was different from other armies.
They were the private army raised by the Tang Emperors, Li Longji. It was said that Li Yi had led the ambulance to train before. If they couldn't do it, they would be treated immediately.
He looked up at the two of them and nodded slightly to show that he understood. It was right to surrender.
On the other side, Bacharcha ran to Li Yi's side. Li Yi brought him a folding table and chair from the car.
Bacharcha put down the plate. "Li Dongzhu, you don't want to eat?"
"It's cold outside. I'll wait for you to eat and then I'll take you to arrange a place to stay. Then I'll go to the cafeteria to eat. There are more dishes in the cafeteria than here. "
Li Yi shook his head and gave the reason.
"We're going to live in?" Bacharcha was shocked.
"I said that there shouldn't be a war between us. You came here to learn. After you learn, go back and lead your people to live a good life.
The tents of the southwest barbarians are cold at night and are full of straw.
There's a fire tunnel in Zhuangzi, so you can stay warm there. I've arranged it for you.
Learn and work for us. Take it as a teaching fee. Disciples learn from their masters and also work for them.
The Tang dynasty is such a big territory. How many people do you have in Khitans?
If you occupy it, how many Khitans will be left in a county? "
Li Yi said with a look that said, "I'm thinking for you." It sounded very simple.
It was natural for disciples to work for their masters.
In the end, it was not a problem to say that the Tang dynasty was big and the Khitans were few.
"Aren't you afraid that we'll suddenly riot?" Bacharcha put himself in Li Yi's shoes.
"What's the use of you rioting? Even if you kill 10,000 people of the Tang dynasty, what will happen?
You'll still live there. The winter is unbearably cold and there's nothing to eat.
Did you come here just to kill people? Instead of finding ways to make your people live better? "
Li Yi continued to reason.
