To strike at the Hu people, you must not only stay on the surface, but also show a powerful means of attacking in depth, which can directly threaten their inner abdominal area, so as to truly defeat the Hu people.

The Han Dynasty's war against the Xiongnu was also carried out many in-depth attacks on the Northern Xiongnu royal court in the later period, so that the Northern Xiongnu were completely defeated and driven away, otherwise I am afraid that it would still be a situation of confrontation between the North and the South Xiongnu.

Fei Qian looked at the generals in the big tent and said slowly: "...... This general does not command many soldiers, only 300 people, but they are all elite soldiers, they have dressed up as Hu people before, and many people know Hu language, and all the armor and equipment are complete; As for the ration of grain and grass......"

"Throughout the Han-Hu dispute, the defeat of many Han people is not due to the disadvantage of the soldiers, nor the courage of the soldiers, but most of them are due to the lack of food and grass and insufficient equipment, so they ......"

Fei Qian turned his head to signal to Huang Xu, who took out a small bamboo tube from the cloth bag on his waist and handed it over. Fei Qian took it, opened it, poured out four pieces of cake-like items tightly wrapped in bamboo paper from the bamboo tube, and then gave a piece to each of the generals present, signaling the generals to open it.

"Wow, it smells so good!" Zhang Ji said, and then swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a grunt.

Xu Huang looked left and right carefully, then rubbed it with his hands, looked at the oil on his fingers, and said, "It's like fried wheat cakes, but ...... Beef and mutton fat? ”

Ma Yue was simply, after getting Fei Qian's approval, he directly broke a small piece, put it in his mouth, smashed it and said: "It tastes good, it's a little sweet, and it seems to have added salt...... Tsk, ......"

Zhao Yun pinched the wheat flour, looked left and right, did not speak, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Fei Qian nodded and said, "This is the latest development in Pingyang...... Well, I call it a marching cake...... "Fei Qian originally wanted to say compressed biscuits, but he didn't think it had reached the level of compressed biscuits, so he still called a name that was easier for people in the Han Dynasty to accept.

"Wheat flour is the mainstay, add a little chestnut flour to increase its sweetness, put it in a kettle and fry it thoroughly, and then mix it with beef and sheep fat and salt, and press it into shape, this cake is this cake." Fei Qian shook the small bamboo tube in his hand and said, "Seal it with a bamboo tube, if the wax seal is not broken, it can be stored for three months without corruption." ”

"March?!"

Fei Qian nodded and said: "If it is inconvenient to dig a stove during the march, you can use this cake to satisfy your hunger, one meal and one cake are enough, and one bamboo tube can ensure that the military food is worry-free within two days......"

"One meal, one cake?" Zhang Ji was straight and blurted out. He was a little skeptical, but a small cake less than half the size of a palm, about two fingers thick, could actually last a meal?

Fei Qian didn't say anything, but let them feel it more realistically directly, so he ordered: "Haha, give it to Zhang Duwei...... Well, get some hot water and pour a bowl for all of you......"

Although it is not as extreme as the compressed biscuits of later generations, for the Han Dynasty, the dry flour powder will quickly absorb water and expand after encountering water, forming a feeling of satiety, and the most important thing is that it is added with fat and salt, whether it is in terms of calories provided to the human body, or electrolytes such as salt, it is enough.

This little thing, don't look simple, but the technical content is the same, there is no water-powered mill, wheat cannot be ground to a fine degree in large quantities, there is no pressing machinery, and there is absolutely no way for manpower to press the dough to such a tight level.

Xu Huang, Ma Yue, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Ji were not polite, and when they got the water, according to what Fei Qian said, they could directly eat the cake and drink the water, or they could take the cake and soak it in the water to melt and eat it, but no matter what, after such a bowl, they more or less felt a little full.

"It's a lot of money, isn't it?" Xu Huang touched his stomach and said.

Fei Qian nodded and said, "Therefore, this thing can only be provided to ...... for the time being The Troopers use ......"

Although it sounds good and the scenery is very good, it also means that it may be surrounded at any time, and it may be cut off at any time and become a lonely army.

"Not only that, in order to allow the soldiers to preserve their combat power more, in addition to the weapons, they are also equipped with two horses and two saddles, wool felt blankets, pots and pans, and other utensils, through these things, I hope to help the soldiers better fight, and let them survive more...... Fei Qian sighed and said, "Of course, even if you use a marching cake, you can only bring more rations for the month, and you have to ...... other times Feeding War with War...... So, this is a task that I will take credit for, but it is still very dangerous...... You guys...... Who wants to be held accountable? ”

You can't win 'em all.

It can be said that Fei Qian has improved the security of this army to the extreme as much as possible, and the property spent on these items can even equip three or four times the ordinary soldiers, such a large investment, of course, in addition to improving the combat effectiveness of this kind of troops, it is also a better guarantee for these soldiers, and more importantly, the soldiers who enjoy these best treatment will also face the most dangerous situation.

Human desires are always endless, such as knowing that the fish and the bear's paw cannot have both, but they will hold the fish and the bear's paw to the death, trying to bring both things back, but in the end they will not be able to obtain anything.

If you want to have meritorious deeds and no risks, there is naturally no such good thing in the world.

Xu Huang tilted his head, thought for a while, and finally shook his head and gave up. It's not that he doesn't want to go or doesn't have the courage to go, it's that he doesn't have much experience in commanding cavalry, so he can't force mistakes.

Being able to ride a horse and being able to lead a cavalry are two completely different concepts. The commander of the cavalry must not only control the physical strength of the war horse, but also know where to avoid in high-speed movement, where to pass, where to charge, and so on......

Ma Yue opened his mouth, but stopped talking. He was very hesitant, he wanted to go, but he wanted to attack Yinshan more than to lead such a long-distance army, although he could get the first merit, but it was accompanied by a major risk, and more importantly, this task was destined not to be remembered like a horse stepping on Yinshan......

Zhang Ji shook his head left and right, stood up, clasped his hands into fists and said, "This, a certain ......"

Before Zhang Ji finished speaking, Zhao Yun also stood up and said neatly: "I am willing to go!" ”

Zhang Ji turned his head, glared at Zhao Yun and said, "Captain Zhao, you!" ”

"Zhang Duwei is angry, Feiyun is fighting for mer......it," Zhao Yun paused, as if he was organizing the language, "...... First, Yun is a native of Changshan, Yanmen and Daijun are all neighboring counties, and the terrain is quite familiar; Second, cloud ...... Also part of Montenegro...... If there is no enemy, you can go south into the mountains to circulate, and you can protect the soldiers, so this task is none other than Yun. ”

In fact, there is a third point, because Zhao Yun has already made the merit of killing the right virtuous king of the Huns, so if he participates in the battle for the battle against Yinshan now, it will inevitably be a little too much, especially when Zhao Yun is still a guest general.

You have to know how to let go of certain things, so that you can free up your hands and get some things again.

Zhang Ji stared, pondered for a moment, and found that what Zhao Yun said was indeed reasonable, paused, sighed, and sat down again.

Fei Qian looked at Zhao Yun and nodded, but he didn't talk about the battle, but said: "Zilong, if this battle is over, would you like to enter the Shoushan Academy to study for a while?" ”

Zhao Yun was overjoyed, and said happily: "Thank you Zhonglang for cultivating!" ”
