Chapter 820: Veteran
Chen Xi carried a one-foot-long claw, and had to admit that there were really not many wild animals in ancient times, although the crab was really startled when it grew to the size of a compass, but the meat taste was still very good.
"It's really good to rely on the mountains and eat the mountains, and rely on the water to eat the water, if Yuan Shao doesn't come today, I will continue to eat meat and vegetables in the afternoon, and eat fish after eating chicken, in exchange, didn't we bring a lot of dried Donglai fish?" Chen Xi put the finished crab into a complete shell and said with a smile.
When I went to the river in the morning, I was almost attacked by this thing, but now it has become a plate of Chinese food, no matter how big or small, there are no pesticides and hormones at this time, even if it is a monster, Chen Xi estimates that it is natural and pollution-free mountain delicacies, although the seasoning is not very dripping.
"That's not enough for the tens of thousands of people stationed here to eat a few meals." Lu Su said angrily, threw away the crab clip in his hand, and directly broke the shell that Chen Xi had so hard to put together.
"This can be regarded as stimulating consumption, hundreds of thousands of catties of fish have gone down, and Donglai has made a lot of money." Chen Xi looked at the crabs that had been beaten into pieces, and was obviously a little depressed.
"It's just the left pocket getting the right pocket." Jia Xu pinched a fish bone and shaved the flesh on the crab's leg, "What kind of money is it?" β
"You don't understand, money is only considered when it is circulated, just like the way we do it now, we actually have a lot of money, so the process is a little more complicated, which can make a lot of people rich." Chen Xi said with a smile, he didn't have anything to say about Jia Xu's concept, there was not much he could understand when he was present, and those who were willing to understand it were Lu Su.
"Zichuan, the scout is here. Yuan Shaojun has moved. At this time, Liu Bei opened the tent door and suddenly walked in.
"Huh? Isn't it said that the pontoon bridge has not been erected yet? Chen Xi asked puzzledly, "Are they doing morning exercises now?" β
"Not so idle. I'm afraid that Yuan Shao has built the pontoon bridge since last night. Jia Xu frowned and said.
"If it is built so quickly, it can only be that Yuan Shao has no concealment and defense at all. He was really in such a hurry for a while, he didn't even want his life, how could it be? Chen Xi asked in disbelief, "Why don't we send scouts to increase the scope of exploration first?" β
"No need, I'm afraid Yuan Shao has built the pontoon bridge outside the scope of our exploration, and only in this way can it be explained." Lu Su waved his hand, "Get ready for battle, cavalry is really a good thing, and the mobility is really strong enough." β
"Huh?" Chen Xi touched his forehead. For them, the scout exploration range is fifty miles, which is already very large, but for the other side, even if it is necessary, they can quickly move people to a hundred miles, in addition to war horses, pack horses are also less troublesome than people.
"It can only be like this, Yuan Shao is indeed bold, he is not afraid that we will suddenly expand the scope of exploration, if it is exposed. The pontoon bridge with the craftsmen is probably finished. Guo Jia nodded and said curiously, "And once we succeed once, we will be more closely guarded in the future." He really dared to bet! β
"It's unfortunate that the other side seems to have succeeded, and as you said, we will be more prepared if we find out. I want to take a gamble in a situation like this. On the contrary, it is more reasonable. Jia Xu opened his gloomy wooden fan and said with a sneer covering himself.
"Forget it. Let's wait for work, anyway, we are definitely not as fast as the other side, even if we rush over now, the opposite side is estimated to have successfully crossed the river, so save some trouble. Chen Xi yawned and said, "Since you can't stop it, then rely on your own force to speak, Xuande Gong relies on you." β
In this way, Liu Bei naturally understood everything, Yuan Shao set off before himself, relying on a four-legged horse, and he was definitely not as fast as the other side, even if he rushed to the death, he would have no combat effectiveness.
Even if it is a pack horse on the other side, all the way to the past, the horse can't run, people can still fight, and the pack horse must be infantry, and it is definitely full of body when it comes over, rather than this, it is better to wait for the whole army as Chen Xi said, and retain more combat effectiveness.
"Get ready, the first wave rushing over on the opposite side is definitely not an ordinary force, see if you can swallow each other." Lu Su said with a smile on his face, he had already started to prepare around, and the humidity along the entire Yellow River had risen sharply, just waiting for his action.
"I sure will." Chen Xi blinked his eyes and said that he had begun to pump the water vapor of the Yellow River and continued to increase the air humidity, and soon the air humidity exceeded 80%.
"Don't raise it any more, it will attract attention if you raise it again, now this is already very high, and it even feels a little wet." Guo Jia lifted his sleeve and said.
"I'm ready, when the time comes, I will increase the humidity of the army on the opposite side to the better, Zijing will rely on you then." Chen Xi turned his head sideways and said, "Wenhe, you remember to dry out our side a bit, so that Zijing's destructive power will not be too high on our side." β
"Then it's up to me to hook up the army." Guo Jia continued to shake his wide sleeves, already feeling a little wet.
"I'll leave it to you." Chen Xi patted Guo Jia's shoulder and said, he was still very relieved about Guo Jia.
After quickly assigning their respective military affairs, they each passed it on to their adjutants, and Liu Bei passed on the military affairs to the military attachΓ©s, and then delegated them to the various subordinates, and then the military commanders passed them on to the centurions.
Soon, Liu Beijun, who was mainly veterans, received the order that Yuan Shao was about to attack, and then this group of veterans who began to prepare after eating pouted with a look that they had long known that it would be like this.
Each put on their leather armor, and then tied the heart goggles that they had handmade during the time they went home to farm, tied them to their chests, took their weapons, and naturally gathered together with their comrades.
After that, this group of veterans sat together casually, and this group of veterans who had participated in the war too many times had their own instinctive habits and ways of adjusting to war.
Just like now the veterans do not have the slightest fear and panic, calmly waiting for the war to come, as for the recruits, although they are also because of the veteran's calmness, squatting with the veterans, but there is always a little bit of incoordination.
"Report, Yuan Shaojun was found fifty miles away!" The heralds rode fast horses through the barracks.
Although this scene was only seen by the veterans who were close to the camp, after they got up, the entire barracks soon appeared in a chain reaction.
All the soldiers quickly gathered into a team, one piece, one song, one tun, and the last regiment had been integrated before Liu Bei gave the order, and the concept of collective had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the veterans. (To be continued......)
