The military rations are not enough, so the bread will make up!

Xu Kang has always prepared things with both hands, and he will never put all his eggs in the same basket, especially these "eggs" are also related to his future and net worth.

"Although I don't have to win the Yellow Turban, I must persist until Huangfu Song wins, and during this time, I must not have problems here!"

With such an idea, Xu Kang went straight out and made all his strength to make magic bread!

"Food and water...... Food and water...... Food and water ......"

Thanks to his efforts, magic bread and magic fresh water continued to emerge from his glittering palms, and in a short time his bed was piled up.

Seeing that the beds were all piled up, he immediately put all these magic breads into the space backpack, leaving only a pile of magic fresh water at the head of the bed.

This is what he uses to replenish the mental power consumed.

He hadn't forgotten the last time he fell asleep due to excessive mental power consumption, so he naturally wouldn't make such a mistake this time.

After making a hundred magic breads and magic fresh water in succession, he immediately stopped, feeling mentally exhausted, and then opened a bag of magic fresh water and drank it in small sips, and began to recover the mental power consumed.

After drinking a bag of magical fresh water, his mental strength was almost recovered, so he began to use [Food and Water] to make magic bread again.

Just like the previous time, this time he also made a hundred magic breads and stopped, and then began to drink water to recover his mental strength.

While drinking water, he couldn't help but sigh a little.

"Ma Dan, sure enough, the skills of the master are good, the efficiency is high and the consumption is low, with my current mental power, I can make a hundred magic bread and a hundred bags ......of magic fresh water at a time, but if I heal people, ten people can exhaust my spiritual power, and I don't know if this spiritual power can be increased."

Thinking of this, when he started using [Food and Water] for the third time, he secretly kept an eye on it, and after making a hundred magic breads and a hundred bags of magic fresh water, he did not drink water immediately, but carefully felt his mental condition.

Then he was disappointed to find that his situation was the same as the previous two times, nothing had changed!

This made him sigh.

"Alas, it seems that mental power is not so easy to grow, I'd better make bread honestly first, and as for mental power, I'll study it slowly later!"

Thinking of this, he no longer thought about it, but opened a bag of magic fresh water and drank it, and then continued to use [Food and Water] to make magic bread.

"Food and water...... Food and water...... Food and water ......"

……

I don't know how long it took, but when he stopped again, he didn't choose to drink the magic fresh water, but let out a long breath.

"Whew...... Don't do it, that's all for today! ”

As he spoke, he patted his belly, which was already a circle of growth, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

"Fortunately, Lao Tzu's appetite is big enough, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to drink so much magic fresh water, and He Jin, who the dog said, forced Lao Tzu into a bucket, a hemp egg, and killed me."

After saying that, he put the magic bread on the bed and the water bag containing the magic fresh water into the space backpack, and then slowly got out of bed.

When he got out of bed, he found that the empty water bags he had thrown down after drinking them had been piled up high under the bed, and at a cursory glance, there were almost more than a hundred!

Looking at the empty water bags all over the ground, Xu Kang was stunned at first, and then suddenly pinched his chin.

"Tsk...... I didn't expect to drink so much magic fresh water, but reality is not a game, and the hydration bag won't disappear by itself, so how to deal with it? ”

Thinking of this, he pondered how to dispose of these water bags.

His first thought was to give it away, but after thinking about it, he rejected the idea.

Because whether it is a soldier or a general, they have a water bladder specially used to hold water, which is much larger and more practical than his water bag.

Since you can't give it away, you can only dispose of it.

"I don't know what material this thing is, it's neither like leather nor plastic, and I don't know if it will decompose naturally, so it's better to burn it if you throw it away for fear of polluting the environment!"

Thinking of this, he glanced at the brazier in the middle of the tent, and then he picked up four or five empty water bags from the ground and threw them directly into the brazier.

However, what he didn't expect was that after he threw the water bags into the brazier, they were not ignited as he imagined, but emitted a puff of white smoke like dry ice sublimation.

When the white smoke was completely gone, the water bag was also completely gone, and there was no residue left.

Seeing this scene, Xu Kang was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.

"I didn't expect this water bag to have such a characteristic, so I have something to reward soldiers!"

In this day and age, soldiers lack faith, so tangible benefits must be available to motivate them to fight bravely.

This is also a common method used by generals, which is commonly known as clear rewards and punishments.

Although Xu Kang is leading troops for the first time, he also understands this truth, so he has been thinking about what to reward soldiers to make up for the negative impact of the lack of military food and porridge.

Of course, it is the most direct and trouble-free to compensate with money, after all, money is a good thing in any era, and basically no one will not like it.

But unfortunately, among the money Xu Kang got from He Jin, all the five baht money had been used to buy officials, and only gold cakes, silver nuggets, pearls, and mutton fat and white jade seeds remained.

But these things are small in quantity and high in value, and they can't be directly used to compensate the soldiers, so Xu Kang plans to wait for the Yellow Turban to retreat, and then find an opportunity to exchange these things for five baht, and then compensate the soldiers who fought bravely.

So the question arises, what should he do to stabilize the morale of the army in the two months before the end of the battle? Relying on the empty check of thousands of stone grain promised to Zhao Hong just now?

That's obviously not going to work!

The blank check is just a hope, and it is okay for a short time, but after a long time, the soldiers feel that it is not practical.

So he also needed a reliable credential, and after seeing the magic water bag that turned into white smoke when it was fired, his brain came alive.

"This property of Magic Freshwater is so unique that I could make it into a token and use it to reward soldiers, eh...... Let's experiment with magic bread first! ”

Thinking of this, he immediately found a pair of scissors, then picked up the empty water bags on the ground and cut them "click".

I don't know how long it took, the nearly white empty water bags that were originally piled on the ground also turned into a large pile of copper coin-sized discs, piled up all over Xu Kang's bed.

After cutting the last water bag, Xu Kang threw the scissors in his hand and exhaled a long breath.

"Whew...... It's finally done, and now you can get a good night's sleep! ”

With that, he found a wooden box and packed up the small cut discs, threw all the unwanted scraps into the brazier, and watched them turn into a pile of white smoke.

When he had done this, he took off his coat and went back to bed, closing his eyes and preparing for bed.

But before he could fall asleep, Zhao Hong's voice sounded outside the tent.

"My lord, there is a eunuch in the palace, saying that he wants to meet your lordship, and he is waiting outside the camp gate at this time!"

"What?" Hearing Zhao Hong's words, Xu Kang's brows suddenly wrinkled, "Is there something wrong with this eunuch, come to see me in the middle of the night, don't see me, let him wait, if there is anything to say, I will talk about it at dawn!" ”

With that, he rolled over and prepared to go back to sleep.

But what he didn't expect was that before his words fell, Zhao Hong's voice rang out again.

"My lord, the fifth watch has just passed, and the sky is already dawning, and we should also set up camp and prepare to go!"

"Uh......"
