It was getting late, and Wen Yiheng led the 300,000 troops who were traveling on the road to camp in the north, more than ten miles away from the Hanhai Protectorate, and rested for a while.

The champion general Wu Dechong led a team of 1,000 people to patrol the periphery of the camp, looking for nearby water sources by the way.

Su Jiudong claimed to be the accompanying military doctor of Generalissimo Wen Yiheng in charge of the march, and everyone also knew her identity as a woman.

It is true that there are several female medics in the barracks, so the soldiers understand that these women are disguised as men just so as not to arouse the gossip of ignorant people.

After Su Jiudong entered Wen Yiheng's tent, he first took off his heavy armor and was able to breathe smoothly. Wen Yiheng came in with dinner and beckoned Su Jiudong to eat together.

The so-called dinner was just a simple wheat cake, soybean and hemp dough, five or six half-palm-sized pieces of fried pork, and four pieces of taro slices with a finger thickness, and a few pickles on the side, which did not look very attractive.

"The army is in a hurry, so the food is simple and rough..."Wen Yiheng took a small dagger and cut the wheat cake into small pieces, wrapped it with a little pickle, and handed it to Su Jiudong: "This wheat cake has a little salt added to it, and it won't taste tasteless." ”

After Su Jiudong took the wheat cake, he began to be silent in a daze, unable to eat for a long time, staring at the wheat cake in his hand, his eyes gradually reddened, and his thoughts drifted back to the memories of her going to the battlefield with the special forces in modern times.

At that time, they were ordered to secretly infiltrate a foreign jungle to carry out an assassination mission, and faced a famous cannibal team in that country.

A female team doctor was accidentally captured by the team, and when the cannibal team ran out of food, she killed the captured team doctor and cooked it.

Su Jiudong remembered that before the confrontation with foreign troops, he had heard rumors about this cannibal team called "begging", combined with the news that his team doctor partner was eaten at that time, he almost couldn't hold back his tears.

Wen Yiheng didn't know Su Jiudong's psychological activities, and only thought that Su Jiudong couldn't eat such a rough dinner, so he comforted him with kind words: "Eat easy on the march, you may not be able to accept it." When you get to the city of Xishou, I'll take you to eat delicious food. ”

Su Jiudong knew that Wen Yiheng had misunderstood, so he couldn't help but smile: "In the small village of Qishan County, I have eaten something worse than this, it is really hard to swallow. The march was difficult, and now I can have pork and grains to eat, and I am very satisfied. ”

Wen Yiheng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I see, I know that you are a person who can endure it, but I didn't expect you to have red eyes when you saw this kind of dinner." I saw that your eyes were red, and I thought you couldn't stand the grievances of eating such a rough dinner......"

"No, it should be good to have food to eat when marching and fighting. I just remembered a rumor I saw in a book, and I just touched the scene for a while... Ha, let's not talk about it, let's eat first. ”

Su Jiudong put down the wheat cake in his hand, took the dagger in Wen Yiheng's hand, cut the soybean and hemp dough from the side to leave the mouth, and then sandwiched the fried pork pieces, taro slices and a little pickle into the dough, just like an ancient hamburger.

Su Jiudong handed the "hamburger" to Wen Yiheng and said softly: "This is another way to eat in our village, called 'hamburger'." You can try to eat it this way, maybe it tastes better, and you can eat more and faster in one bite. ”

Wen Yiheng's hanging heart was put down, he took the hamburger and took a big bite, eating it with relish. After eating, Wen Yiheng smiled contentedly: "What story do you remember in the book?" It almost made you cry. ”

“… Do you really want to listen? Su Jiudong cleared his throat before he said in a deep voice.

"In the book I read, it was written that there was a small country called 'begging' at that time, and the status of women in the small country was very low, and the soldiers imprisoned innocent captured women, not only played and tortured the women, but also used them as food to cook and eat when the rations were not enough."

"The ultimate goal of the team in this small country is only to be able to eat a full meal, so on the battlefield, only by killing the enemy bravely, can there be the enemy's corpse to watch the cooking, and only after eating can you live, although this team is brave and powerful, but they are monsters without humanity."

The more Wen Yiheng listened, the more serious his expression became, and he slapped his thigh and said angrily: "Even women eat it, it's simply inhumane!" What is the difference between this and the beast! The madness and horror of human nature are enough to be compared to demons! ”

"It is because I remember this terrible story that I am very glad to have these sufficient rations to eat." Su Jiudong said as he spoke, but tears fell.

Su Jiudong took advantage of Wen Yiheng's inattention to raise his hand to wipe his tears, and pretended to have nothing to do to eat wheat cakes.

Wen Yiheng took a deep breath and said as seriously as a promise: "Don't worry, our military rations are very sufficient this time, and that terrible thing will never happen... If it's really unfortunate that that happens, I'll definitely protect you. ”

Wen Yiheng was afraid that Su Jiudong would still be worried, so he seriously introduced the rations of the army this time: "The staple food we eat during the march is wheat, millet, millet, mushroom, and hemp, and we also brought many pickled vegetable jars, which are filled with all kinds of pickled vegetables as supplementary food. ”

"It's the pickle I just put in the wheat cake for you, how did you feel about taking a bite just now?" Yunnan

Su Jiudong knew that Wen Yiheng wanted to divert her attention, so he cooperated: "It's delicious... It was the first time I knew that pickles would be brought with me in the army. ”

Wen Yiheng explained seriously: "The main reason for bringing pickles is to take care of the taste of the soldiers, and pickles are also equivalent to another form of salt. Whether a soldier likes to eat salty or sweet, he can't do without salt, otherwise he will be weak, let alone go into battle to kill the enemy. ”

Su Jiudong nodded and agreed: "Indeed! Salt replenishes energy and plays a vital role in the combat ability of the soldiers. But with the huge number of troops this time, is the salt and pickles enough for us to consume? ”

"Don't worry, in addition to bringing salt and pickles, the army has also prepared vinegar cloth as a temporary replacement." Wen Yiheng has joined the army several times and has the most say in the food in the barracks:

"The vinegar cloth is soaked in vinegar, then taken out to dry, and then repeated several times. If salt and pickles are not enough, just tear a piece of vinegar cloth and throw it into the pot to cook, and the food will be seasoned. ”

Su Jiudong was puzzled: "But isn't it hard to eat like this?" If a soldier does not eat well enough and does not have enough strength to kill the enemy, will it not affect the battle? ”

"That's only when there's no salt or pickles." Wen Yiheng said: "Although that kind of food is unpalatable, it can bring some flavor in the mouth, which is better than no taste at all." ”

That's what it is like on the battlefield. Soldiers go into battle at any time, and their heads are pinned to their belts. If you don't ask for food, you can be full.

Wen Yiheng emphasized again: "Our army has sufficient rations, salt and pickles, and dried eyes and live pigs and sheep to follow, and there will not be the extreme situation you said... The fried pork you just gave me is the live pig you killed today. ”

Wen Yiheng is very proud of being able to eat live pigs that are slaughtered and slaughtered in the army.

Since Wen Yiheng became the prime minister, he has investigated many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and all the money obtained has been collected and handed over to the state treasury. The treasury was full, and naturally there were enough taels of silver to cover the army's food consumption.

Therefore, allowing the soldiers on the march to eat pork is also the embodiment of Wen Yiheng seeking welfare for the people and doing practical things.

The smile on Wen Yiheng's face grew, and Su Jiudong also ate a piece of fried pork, which was full of fragrant, which really made people feel satisfied. Su Jiudong ate one piece and wanted to eat another piece, so he couldn't help but ask: "Can you eat such delicious pork at every meal every day?" ”

Wen Yiheng's smiling face gradually turned calm: "Although we brought cured jerky and live pigs and sheep this time, there are a large number of soldiers, so we can't eat meat for every meal every day. If you win the battle in the future, you can use meat as a reward for the soldiers' morale. ”

"We have been marching for ten days, but we have already covered more than half of the journey. In order to reward the soldiers for their hard work, I ordered the whole army to eat meat for dinner today. ”

Wen Yiheng laughed again: "I went to get the food just now, and the soldiers who received the pieces of meat were almost out of laughter. ”

"I've heard that foreigners are good at horsemanship, and they are cavalry! We brought 120,000 cavalry this time, and the enemy army will definitely have cavalry, right? ”

Su Jiudong's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light: "After the battle, there will definitely be dead horses and injured horses." If you bring a dead or injured horse back to cook, you can also eat a few meals of horse meat. ”

"I see your eyes are shining, are you hungry for horse meat? We also brought a little horse jerky, and when we win the battle, I will secretly share a little with you, and you are not allowed to tell anyone else. ”

Wen Yiheng approached Su Jiudong, and couldn't help poking her little face with his fingers, and his fingertips gradually touched the corners of her lips and rubbed them.

Wen Yiheng was about to laugh with Su Jiudong a little, when Adjutant Mo Mingshan made a loud announcement outside.

"Marshal! Oh no! The thousand-man squad led by General Wu encountered an ambush by the enemy, and General Wu and more than a dozen soldiers were captured alive! The remaining nearly 1,000 people are resisting there! The courier rushes back and asks for help! ”

Wen Yiheng quickly got up and went out, summoned the soldier who fled back to deliver the message, and asked, "What's going on?" This is the north of the Hanhai Metropolitan Protectorate, how can there be an ambush by the enemy?! ”

"At that time, General Wu led a thousand of us to inspect the vicinity of the camp. After the inspection, General Wu took 20 people to follow him to find a water source, but only one person returned, saying that General Wu had been ambushed by the enemy and was captured alive with 12 others. ”

The remaining nearly 1,000 people, led by Vice General Li, set out to rescue General Wu, but they never thought that the enemy army was only 3,000 people, outnumbered, and the soldiers were trapped. I escaped at the right time, so I was able to come back and ask for help! ”

"It is guessed that those enemy troops should have sneaked into our border from Ugo City on the border of Sujin Kingdom, so that they were able to get close to the north of the Hanhai Protectorate."

Wen Yiheng quickly ordered people to come to the rescue: "Vice General Sun, you immediately lead 6,000 men and horses to the starting place, and be sure to rescue General Wu, Vice General Li and other soldiers!" Remember to rush back immediately after saving people, and don't chase after you! ”
