In the following days, the two sides fell into a period of confrontation, at the beginning Yuan Shao was still calm, but as the days passed, Yuan Shao's patience was gradually wearing out.

"Gonghe, why hasn't Pei Qing'er withdrawn from the army?"

"Don't be impatient, after all, Hanoi is next to Hedong, and Hedong is the field between the Xiongnu and the Xiongnu, we need to find a way to make the Xiongnu reduce the food supply to him, as long as we do this, I believe that in a short time, Pei Qing will run out of food and retreat."

Frustrated's face was very calm, and he spoke slowly.

"Oh? That's a great plan! Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard this, and he immediately sent people to the Xiongnu with a large amount of money to meet the Xiongnu Shan Yu Yu Fuluo, exaggerating the comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides, inducing Yu Fuluo to close the field, and if possible, sack Pei Qing's Hedong.

It didn't take long for Gao Rou to send the Huns to bring him good news, Yu Fuluo happily agreed to his request after accepting the gift money, after hearing that Pei Qing is now in trouble, Yu Fuluo is also salivating for the sacking of Pei Qing, after all, after a period of trade, the various materials urgently needed by the Huns can basically meet the demand, even if there is no trade in a short period of time, it can survive, especially important, Yu Fuluo heard that Chang'an is now quite prosperous, and the people have plenty of food and clothing, There are all kinds of goods in the market, in addition, he heard that Pei Qing's women are all as beautiful as fairies, even some of the girls who serve are the best in the world, and he doesn't rob so much money and beauties, he feels sorry for himself.

However, Yu Fuluo didn't know that by doing so, he would be tantamount to permanently losing Pei Qing's friendship and bringing ruin to his clan.

Of course, this is all later, Yu Fuluo couldn't have predicted it at all, if he could have expected such a result, even if he killed him, he wouldn't dare to beat Pei Qing's idea.

The reality is that the Xiongnu suddenly announced the closure of the field and led the army to invade Hedong, which immediately caused a tense situation between the two sides, and the war on both sides did bring Pei Qing a more severe situation, especially the food problem has become more serious now.

"What? Hun thieves dare! Pei Qing was furious when he heard the news, and he secretly made a decision in his heart from then on, after the situation eased a little, he must launch a crusade against the Huns, and let these untrustworthy people pay enough price!

But that's all for later, and the most important thing for the moment is to overcome the current predicament.

However, in the face of the predicament in front of them, everyone fell into deep worry, and this time even Hu Zhao and Xun You, who were the best at coming up with ideas, were at a loss.

However, Pei Qing didn't have the slightest worry, after learning that these people were worried about the food problem, he asked suspiciously: "Aren't there still hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep in the city?" If we make good use of it, we can hold on for a while, so why should you bother so much? ”

But seeing Hu Zhao said with a wry smile: "Even so, if these cattle and sheep are all killed, we will not be able to eat them all for a while, and we can only spoil them in the end, and if we don't kill them all, where will we have enough forage to feed them?" In the end, these cattle and sheep can only starve to death, and the final outcome is still the same. ”

"That's what you're worried about?" Pei Qing smiled dumbly and said: "Actually, this problem is not too big a problem at all, I have a way to solve it easily." ”

"Oh? I don't know what the trick is? Hu Zhao, Xun You and the others all shook in their hearts, and hurriedly came over and asked together.

"Didn't you eat bacon at my dinner party? We use this method to kill all the cattle and sheep, and then make bacon, which can be kept fresh for a long time and easy to eat, and can definitely solve our food problems, even if it is not a problem to support it for a few more months. ”

"Bacon? We only remember that this kind of meat is delicious, but we don't know that it has such a wonderful use," Wang Cang was very excited when he heard this, but he thought about it carefully, and then said with a wry smile: "It's just that we don't understand how this kind of bacon is made, and your blister Zhang Wu didn't come, even if he comes, even if he is tired to death, I'm afraid he can't make hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep into bacon little by little, right?" ”

Hu Zhao, Xun You and the others also thought so, they all looked at Pei Qing in unison, not knowing if Pei Qing could solve this problem.

But seeing Pei Qing smiled faintly: "This problem is actually very easy to handle, because the key technology of marinating bacon is very simple, it is just a layer of window paper, which can be penetrated by a poke, but this can be regarded as a big secret of our army, because if others, especially those nomadic aliens, learn this technique, it will be a disaster for us, so the one who only makes bacon must be the person we trust the most, and be good at keeping secrets, otherwise, once this technology leaks out, it will be a great loss to us. This kind of loss may even be greater than the victory over Yuan Shao. ”

"What does it mean?" Hu Zhao, Xun You and the others couldn't help but glance at each other, and they saw a trace of solemnity in each other's eyes.

However, after some consideration, these people had already made a decision, and Xun Yu spoke first: "In this case, it is best to let the soldiers of the lord's personal battalion do this matter, because they are the most disciplined, and they are loyal and reliable, and they will definitely live up to their mission, and at the same time they will not divulge secrets." ”

Pei Qing nodded and said: "I have this intention, then order the slaughter of cattle and sheep, and at the same time pass on this set of bacon only to them, so many people work together, it only takes half a month at most to complete all the bacon production process, and at that time, we will definitely be able to tide over the difficulties smoothly with military rations and bacon." ”

"Yes, we are confident enough." Hu Zhao, Xun You and others were all happy, because they had the powerful technology of bacon, they no longer had to starve, and the combination of meat and vegetables could also balance the diet, and they could live a delicious life, which was much more comfortable than Yuan Shao.

The matter of food is a major matter, and it cannot be delayed, so they dare to do what they say, Pei Qing summoned the officers above the rank of marquis in the pro-military camp, passed on the technology of making bacon to them, and asked them to transfer it to the officers and soldiers at all levels under his command.

At the same time, the soldiers of the whole city heard a shocking news, Pei Qing suddenly ordered to slaughter all the cattle and sheep in the army within ten days, which shocked them, because although the weather is cooler now, but the beef and mutton can only be eaten after three days of slaughter, Pei Qing ordered to slaughter all the cattle and sheep within ten days, which means that after more than half a month, they will have no meat to eat, and then they can only live with a few grains, so it is not clear how long they can hold on.

However, Pei Qing's orders were very strict, and they had to carry them out on schedule, so these people had no choice but to act honestly according to orders, but their hearts were full of deep worries about the future.
