The next day, Tian Xin's tribe had already set off for Maicheng.

Ma Liang mistakenly thought that Tian Xin had left, and when he came to the new military camp outside the city at the appointed time, Tian Xin was still waiting for him here, but he was having breakfast with Guan Xing.

Guan Xing wore Tian Xin's gold sable crown with a dignified face, and when he saw Ma Liang coming in a donkey cart, Guan Xing put away the sable crown and sat on the side seriously.

"Why don't you stay in Gangneung for a few more days?"

Ma Liang got out of the car and walked over: "Liang also has a lot of doubts to ask the prince and marquis, both knowledge, government affairs, and military affairs, so you have to talk all night." ”

"Ma Fujun is polite, I just miss the pro-party, and it is quite uncomfortable to stay in Jiangling."

Tian Xin got up to greet him and sat down with Ma Liang, and Guan Xing also got up and called Mr. Ji Chang.

When they all sat down, Ma Liang was sitting in danger, but saw Tian Xin handing over a pair of chopsticks: "Ma Fujun taste it, this thing is beneficial to the country and the people." ”

"Oh? Is this wheat flour? ”

"It's wheat flour, fine wheat flour that is finely ground and filtered through a gauze mesh, and this delicacy is called dumplings, and it's better to eat it with vinegar."

"Dumplings?"

Ma Liang sandwiched a steamed dumpling, dipped some vinegar in the newly placed shallow dish, and put it in his mouth to chew, his eyes lit up, and his face smiled much more naturally.

Hearing Ma Liang's chewing sound, Tian Xin knew that he had eaten celery filling, and wrote the word dumplings on the table with his fingers: "It is made of wheat flour and noodles, and the dough is wrapped in finely minced meat and vegetables." ”

Ma Liang saw that there were still fried Hu cakes on the table, so he picked them up and tore them apart, not wanting the texture to be soft, so he easily tore the soft and white dough that could be seen.

His appetite was opened, tearing a piece and sending it to his mouth, this is the oil cake with honey when Tian Xin and the noodles, the residual temperature is still there, the honey is slightly sweet after biting, the oil is fragrant, and the dough is burnt after frying, and there is the inherent sweetness of flour after chewing.

"How can wheat flour be eaten in such a wonderful way?"

"Yes, this is the new wheat in Maicheng this year, and the flour has only been ground and sieved recently."

Tian Xin's tone was casual, and there was no joy of invention and improvement: "One stone of rice in the army is one hundred and twenty catties, and the japonica rice is about sixty catties after the rice is eaten. Besides, it is not easy for the army to march and fight. If it is to transport japonica rice, it cannot withstand moisture and rain, and it is not easy to preserve. ”

"What the prince means, but wheat flour is easy to store and transport?"

Ma Liang frowned, this is not in line with common sense, wheat flour is logically more afraid of moisture and mildew.

"Wheat flour is the most difficult to store and transport, and if it is made into such oil cakes, it is easy to store and transport. If you put more salt water when mixing the dough, the dough cake is more beneficial to qi and can be stored. Ma Fujun is about to be promoted to the Left Guard, supervising the Left Army and the Nanyang Army, I hope Ma Fujun can persuade the troops to plant more winter wheat. ”

Tian Xin said and went to see Guan Xing: "Ah Xing returns early, don't let the dumplings get cold." ”

"Yes, I'm leaving."

Guan Xing bowed his hand to Ma Liang, then turned over and got on the horse, leading the two guards to leave with the food box.

Only then did Ma Liang understand that it was not Guan Xing who sent breakfast, but Tian Xin who made breakfast here and called Guan Xing to get it.

As Guan Xing left, Yu Zhong and Li Heng also brought Meng Duo and the White Rabbit to wait on the side, Tian Xin also grabbed an oil fragrant cake and said: "According to my observation, four catties of oil fragrant cakes can support the consumption of a soldier for a day, and if you add wild vegetables and soup, three catties of oil fragrant cakes can also be supplied." Next year, I will go on a northern expedition to Guanzhong, and the transportation of grain and straw will be difficult, and with the help of this material, we may be able to achieve great success. ”

He took a bite, chewed, and swallowed himself: "Ma Fujun has any other questions?" ”

Ma Liang looked down at the half of the oil cake in his hand: "Junhou, it's not easy to make sesame oil. ”

Flax is sesame seeds, and the yield per mu is not only low, but also the maturity period is before and after, which is very labor-intensive.

"Ma Fujun, I have told you about this matter, whether you can do it depends on Ma Fujun's ability."

Tian Xin got up, bit the cake and turned over on the horse, calmed the active Mondo, took off the cake and said to Ma Liang, who got up and faced him: "Is it easy to make sesame oil, or is it easy to transport military rations to the front line barracks?" Few people know about this matter, and Ma Fujun promotes winter wheat and flax. The Northern Expedition made contributions, and Ma Fujun was not allowed to have a share. ”

Ma Liang wanted to speak, but Tian Xin kicked the horse's belly lightly, holding the reins with his left hand, grabbing the cake with his right hand and galloping forward, and more than ten healthy riders followed and left.

Seeing the smoke and dust rolled up, Ma Liang hurriedly went to the small wooden table to pack up the remaining food boxes to cover the dust.

After doing all this, he took a small half of the bread in his hand and put it in his mouth, and when he looked back, there was no trace of it.

The staff stepped forward and arched their hands: "Mansion Jun, the Marquis of Hugu Pavilion is rude." ”

"It's okay, Tian Junhou's personality is just straightforward, and he shouldn't care about such small things."

Ma Liang said that he picked up the food box, and the oil cakes in it could be eaten for three or four days, so let's see the storage effect first.

Tian Xin didn't care about whether Ma Liang would do it wholeheartedly, Ma Liang was just a backup means.

Maicheng and Zhaoyangyi have the final say in planting, and planting more winter wheat, rapeseed, and sesame is not a big deal.

Besides, there are so many people under Liu Bei and Guan Yu, and there are many things that really don't need to be taken care of by themselves.

Mondo galloped all the way to catch up with the marching brigade, and Tian Xin thought about next year's battle.

I don't have to worry about the finishing work of the Eastern Crusade campaign, it should be my own and others can't take it away.

There is no need to worry about how Ma Liang works, and if he can do what he needs, then give Ma Liang face, otherwise why?

There is no need to worry about the autumn offensive launched by the Wei army against Nanyang, if everything needs to be solved by yourself, then what do you need to do with the county guards and generals?

Liu Bei's instructions are very reasonable, he should grasp the things in the field, and the things on the node should be responsible for the people.

Until now, there is no need to invent any equipment by yourself, otherwise the Wei State, which has an advantage in manpower, will take advantage of it; Even water conservancy and farming equipment should not be improved on a large scale, otherwise it will be the Wei State that will take advantage.

Qi Jiguang is worthy of being a martial arts master, and the wolf whi he invented can be called a martial artist's decapitation machine.

If you convulsions one day and get out the concept and prototype of the wolf, then you will really be useless.

Not to mention hundreds, just a few dozen elite soldiers armed with wolf stalks are enough to solve themselves.

Not inventing military equipment and not improving agricultural equipment is the bottom line, and it is best not to involve it. Now make an oil cake military ration, if you can win the battle of Guanzhong, then you will not lose.

If Guanzhong was not defeated, Wei also began to plant oil-producing crops and wheat on a large scale, so the supply advantage of its own oil cake army rations would be gone, and the supply advantage of the Wei army would be even greater in the future.

If Guanzhong is not defeated due to other factors, the difficulty of the next attack will be even higher. During this period, if you study and improve something, if it doesn't work, it is likely to boost the strength of the Wei State.

The snowball is not easy to roll, and the Eastern Expedition campaign crippled the Wu army, but the Chinese army and the rear army that Liu Bei wanted to train suffered a lot of losses, and the Nanyang soldiers were also miserable, and the Wuxi barbarians in Jingnan and Jingbei were all hit by the war, and the willingness to send troops next time would definitely decline.

Wuxi Man was afraid of the Wu army's methods of extraction and enslavement, so he actively responded to the dispatch of troops. If it is the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains and Guanzhong, this is really not about the affairs of Wuximan, Shamoke wants to fight, and the tribal leaders don't want to fight, then Wuxi Man can't participate in the war.

Mei Shi died in battle, Jing Man's vitality was greatly damaged, and it was not easy to continue to appease Jing Man in the plains and organize the people.

Therefore, during the Northern Expedition next year, Wuxi Man and Jing Man can only be a rear transporter.

So how many troops can the Han army gather in Nanyang? 100,000, or 120,000?

If you go to Wuguan Road to fight Guanzhong, how many troops can you get?

I don't know if Wei has pacified the Liangzhou Rebellion, if the Liangzhou Rebellion sweeps and grows, then there will be another new force in the Northern Expedition next year.
