Chapter 733: The Strange Habits of the Officials
Li Qianshun's tactical retreat did not affect Yue Fei's interest in cooking, nor did it affect the appetite of the Hejian soldiers, they opened the pot, stewed millet porridge, made a fire, branded green onion cakes, cut two slices of Jinhua ham, and the aroma of meat drifted into the city along the wind.
"Yellow Angel, eat some?" Yue Fei smiled and handed Huang Yanjie a bowl.
Huang Yanjie shook his head and said: "Don't eat it, I ate it before I came up, and the king of Western Xia should know the news of General Yue's ascension to the city, and I will probably go into the inner city to see Li Qianshun." ”
"Then I'm welcome, and thank you Huang Angel for the green onions, otherwise this pancake is always a bad taste." Yue Fei filled a bowl of rice porridge and carried the cake baked by the guards of the Wei Army.
This is not the etiquette that Yue Fei did not meet the angels, but the Hejian army was lying in the mountain nest all day yesterday, dormant and unmoving, eating dry food, although the taste of fried dry noodles is not bad, but it is fried dry noodles all day long, and this stomach is sour.
"Zhang Xian, you tell the soldiers, the water in the water bag must be boiled, remember to let the overseers check strictly, there are always people who want to be lazy and save trouble." Yue Fei said to Zhang Xian while eating.
It is a good habit of life to eat and sleep, but among the military, this kind of attention is hypocritical.
Zhang Xian nodded yes, continued to nibble on the cake with green onions, and went to the overseer camp to convey Yue Fei's order.
Yue Fei stopped Zhang Xian, who was traveling farther and farther, and shouted: "There is also a way for the soldiers to stew the game that they hunted on the march for half an hour before eating, we are not in a hurry, it should be him who is in a hurry." Let the Overseers keep an eye on it, too, so that they don't get sick. ”
"A bunch of gluttonous insects, don't eat yourself."
Huang Yanjie asked with a puzzled face: "Dare to ask General Yue, this stew is cooked, why do you want to stew it for half an hour?" ”
Yue Fei smiled and said: "This is all the attention of the official family, you also know that our official family attaches great importance to cleanliness, the last time I hit a wild goose in Yanjing, the official family had to let the stew for half an hour before refusing to eat." ”
Huang Yanjie is a little clear at this time, his official family always has some strange habits, never drink raw water, brush his teeth every day, and never eat raw ingredients when eating.
There are many delicious ingredients such as sashimi and sashimi in the Great Song Dynasty, which the official family never likes to touch, and has also promoted this hygiene awareness in the tabloids and Di Bao, but unfortunately the results are not enough.
"Our family doesn't know these habits of the official family, and General Yue really has a heart." Huang Yanjie arched his hand and said.
"You go, call all the generals over, meet up, and we'll study when to retreat." Yue Fei said to his own guards.
There are about 800 guards in the Beiwei Army, which is also the team formed by the original Seed Master Dao lent Yue Fei 800 Qingtang Horses, of course, with years of conquest, only about 400 people in these 800 guards are the original family officials.
And the first battalion and the two battalion deputies in this are all middle-level generals, and it didn't take long for a few generals to come to Yue Fei's side.
They stared at the blue horse chicken in the pot, drooling greedily.
Yue Fei has a lot of palace condiments rewarded by the official family in his hands, and these spices that ordinary people can't touch are put into the pot, and the fragrance is overflowing.
"Come and let me taste it." Niu Gao excitedly raised his chopsticks and stretched out to the blue horse chicken in the pot.
Yue Fei didn't say anything, just squinted at Niu Gao, Niu Gao's chopsticks didn't fit into the pot in the end, and said with a smile: "I forgot, I forgot, pay attention next time." ”
Niu Gao naturally said that the military order issued by Yue Fei just now, and the game must be stewed for half an hour before it can be eaten.
Yue Fei was very strict with the military orders, even if Niu Gao was an old man, he still couldn't escape the punishment of being beaten with a military stick.
Niu Gao had already tasted it once after drinking and mistaking things last time, and he swore that he would never suffer such a fierce military stick again in his life.
"Look at what you're gluttony." Yue Fei said a little helplessly: "Even if the official family's holy grace is always there, the number of Jinhua hams in our Hejian Army is actually not very much, from generals to soldiers, they are all hungry for this bit of meat." ”
The Hejian Army is the most elite army in the Great Song Dynasty to the present, but under the all-round resource tilt, the Hejian Army is still unable to ensure the supply of meat, let alone other brother troops?
The official family has also thought of a lot of ways for this, and even came up with a book of "Postpartum Care of Sows", but unfortunately large-scale breeding takes time.
The official family always believes that an elite army needs to rely on a large number of materials to supply in order to become elite, and Yue Fei deeply believes so.
Eating a lot of meat is naturally energetic, especially for an army with great physical exertion such as soldiers, supplementing meat is a headache for every general in the Great Song Dynasty.
In the case of insufficient meat, the Great Song army could only rely on hunting to supplement the consumption of meat, and stewed for half an hour before it could be eaten, which was also Yue Fei's request to the soldiers, and it was also his helplessness and compromise with reality.
According to the official's theory that illness comes from the mouth, Yue Fei was reluctant to let the soldiers eat these things of unknown origin, but he couldn't eat enough and couldn't fight, and if he was killed by the enemy because of his physical strength, the soldiers would be even more blind.
"If the supply of Jinhua ham in the Great Song Dynasty is sufficient, I will pinch you gluttonous worms." Yue Fei opened the map and pointed to Wuhai, Hangjin, Xingqing Mansion, and Xi'an Prefecture.
Huang Yanjie hurriedly stepped forward and said: "General Yue, according to my observation, the Liang family may have mobilized soldiers from the Sixth Left Supervision Army Division behind their backs to aid Xingqing Mansion, and the Western Xia Army in Wuhai City will also rush to the aid of Xingqing Mansion as soon as possible after receiving the emergency document from Xingqing Mansion. ”
Yue Fei nodded and said: "The chazi scattered along the Yellow River have already passed on the information, and there are indeed signs of sending troops to Xingqing Mansion in Hexi Kyushu. The defender of Wuhai City is Li Renzhong, and he will definitely come to King Qin. ”
After applying for the recruitment in many ways, Yue Fei affirmed that the Liang family was in this matter, and finally chose the side of the Western Xia Wang family.
Yue Fei pointed to Wuhai City, slid to the location of Xingqing Mansion and said, "We will stay here for five days at most, and we will have to cross the Yellow River from the obstruction and go to Hangjin City." According to the first two raids on Xingqing Mansion by our department, judging from the reaction speed of the Western Xia people, if we stay longer, I am afraid that they will be blocked by the reinforcements of Wuhai City, and then fall into the point of being embattled. ”
Zhang Xian accompanied Yue Fei on the armed tour of Xingqing Mansion twice, he counted with his fingers, in fact, the reaction time of Western Xia was six days, and this vacant day was Yue Fei's growth in the past few years, and he was prepared.
"If Qin Fengjun of Xi'an Prefecture can go straight to Lingwu from here, we don't have to retreat, it's a pity." Niu Gao pointed to Xi'an Prefecture to Lingwu and said.
"Hugh is talking nonsense." Yue Fei's face turned pale, he glared at Niu Gao, then looked at Huang Yanjie's expressionless face and said, "The meeting will be dismissed in a while, and I will go and get the ten army sticks myself." ”
