sweeping the world

Chapter 168 Enterprising Heart
When a large number of families go back, Liu Yan doesn't need to know a certain individual in detail, but just needs to know how many families can be used by him in the end.

At dawn, the army at the foot of Mount Laishan began to become active, and dense smoke rose from the grain and fodder processing area of ​​the camp, which was making the morning food in the dark.

Grain and fodder is just a general term, and there are many categories.There is no shortage of livestock in the Han Dynasty. During the war, a large number of cattle and sheep were slaughtered every day. The meat was stewed or fried. The bones and deboned meat were undoubtedly a hodgepodge.

Naturally, Liu Yan, the noodle-making technique, came up with it early, and wheat steamed buns became the main meal of the Han people, but the previous steamed buns or pot helmets were eliminated.

"This oil star is a bit heavier." Ah Fei looks really fat. He controls 11 groups of fire heads, and a group of fire heads is equivalent to the personnel in charge of soup, frying, and steaming. They happen to be the joint team leader. [-] people inside: "Wait for the pickled vegetables to boil completely before putting them in."

But there were no bright lights, just some bonfires burning in the brazier, and some stoves dug out of the ground. It seemed that there were busy people everywhere, and the fragrance of the scene was very strong.

"The roasted whole lamb doesn't need to be sliced, just put it on the shelf later." Ah Fei looked at the roasted lamb that was emitting fat, and swallowed subconsciously: "Remember, don't burn it!"

The same is true of the usual food, but the better the food, the fewer people enjoy it. For example, the roasted whole lamb is only provided to officers above the head of the village, and only scouts with some high-risk occupations can enjoy a small piece.

The soldiers who had woken up early in the morning were already preparing. They needed to dress neatly and wash up. Conversations were inevitable during the process, so that the voices were mixed into a "hum".Individual soldiers need to report to their immediate superiors for matters such as military matters, and then go to the special area of ​​the camp to line up honestly.

The barracks originally had a special area designated for convenience. If they didn't use their bowels or defecate, it would make the barracks stink, and it would be very easy to spread and become a disease.

The morning food for ordinary soldiers is very simple. Unlimited steamed buns and soup are provided, and you can eat as much as you want, and there is only a small pinch of pickles.

"Give me some meat slag, some."

"Go aside."

Ah Fei is in charge of the cooking himself, standing behind a row of long wooden boards filled with all kinds of food in pots, with a steamer as high as a "chimney" on one side.

There are indeed a lot of pots on the wooden board. The opened pots contain different kinds of food. The pickles have been added a few times because there are more people who receive them. You can see some Chinese herbal medicines in the stewed lamb and beef pots, which are more distinctive. It is dried fish that has existed since the establishment of the Han Dynasty...

After receiving the food, they should move to the side. Officers have specially set up long tables and benches, and can put all kinds of food on the long table. Ordinary soldiers can only find a place to squat with their own food. Dinner is over.

The steamed buns are not too small, and the soup is enough. The most important thing is that the soup has oil stars, and if you are lucky, there are also meat dregs. Zhao Qian feels that being able to eat such food is an extremely happy thing.

You know, even if Zhao Qian is the farmer of the Zhao family, or a better farmer, it is not easy to eat a dry meal in the morning. If you can drink a bowl of gruel every morning, you are considered a rich family. The physical exertion of labor is too great, so I can only eat a few pieces of steamed buns at night.

It’s good to join the Han tribe. Even if it’s an ordinary soldier, you can eat the steamed buns open, and you can drink unlimited broth every meal. There is also a meal of meat or a few fish every seven days. The amount of meat and fish is not large, but even if It is the landlord who can only eat meat during the festivals, but the Han Dynasty has bone soup for every meal!

When Zhao Qian was eating steamed buns, he would look enviously at those who could sit on the long tables and chairs. In fact, there were not necessarily officers there, and there were also people with more than three "skills" on their armbands.

The "skills" of the armbands don't necessarily have to be combat skills. Look at the people sitting over there, some people with three badges on the armbands, among them there are people with a spear badge plus a hoe and other life-like people.

Zhao Qian looked at his armband. He had a spear and a hoe. He was already going to test his bow and arrow skills or herd cattle, but the troops were delayed when they came back from Liao 1 East.

"Don't be envious, we will be able to sit on it sooner or later." It was a skinny man who was talking. He drank the hot soup in the bamboo tube and stood up while talking: "Chop off a few heads, Or arrest a few people, kill a soldier (officer), as long as you become an official, you can sit on it, and you can have at least one dried fish per meal!"

In many cases, it is necessary to have comparison to have the motivation to fight. If everyone looks the same miserable, they will subconsciously accept their fate.

There are so many farmers who came to the Han tribe, why did they quickly forget the earnest instructions of the patriarch when they came, and chose to integrate into the Han tribe?In addition to the superior living environment here in Hanbu, there is an environment where you can climb up after struggling!

A person has a wish, and people of different classes have different pursuits. Zhao Qian longs to be able to sit on a long table and chair, and Dou Ah longs to be able to continuously upgrade his title.

Dou'a has long been a public official, and was allocated [-] mu of land, with six official slaves.One head was rewarded with fifty acres of land and one servant, which meant that he had cut off at least six heads after the formation of the system.

"One more victory, and I'll be the best!" Dou A gnawed on the steamed bun, which was torn open, and put pickles and fat mutton on it, and his mouth was filled with oil: "What about you?"

The person being questioned was Zhong Xing, another head of the village who was in the same song as Dou'a.He nodded: "Me too."

The system of farming and warfare, the twentieth-class nobility, the promotion of small soldiers depends on winning the first rank, while the promotion of officers depends on winning battles. Battles also need to be divided into scales. more times.

The two chatted for a few words and then fell silent, mainly because they had their own concerns and ideals before the war. If there is anything in common, they know that they must never be cowardly, otherwise they will be given up.

Because there are so many people, it took about an hour for the troops to eat. After that, various passwords sounded frequently in the barracks. The army set off.

"Your Majesty, there are seven targets this time, should you be more cautious?" Lu Yi had obvious hesitation on his face: "We...some people return to the family, and if they want to control them, they will be further dispersed. troops."

Of course Liu Yan knew it, but didn't he talk about the art of war that "everything depends on speed"?

"Take down Donglai County in one month!" Xu Zheng said with a smile: "The tribal armed forces clean up the nomadic tribes, and the rest of the troops attack the city and Wubao. The division of labor is very clear."

Liu Yan glanced at Xu Zheng: "What are you still doing here?"

The expression on Xu Zheng's face froze for a moment, and he glanced at the whole lamb that was about to be roasted with a smirk, and swallowed: "Then... the last general, let's go?"

In fact, the scenery is quite ugly, the place with the unique scenery of mountains and rivers, it looks like it was originally a lecture platform of Donglai Academy or something, but it was lit with a bunch of bonfires, and a processed lamb was inserted on a shelf .

Liu Yan didn't speak, but watched the cook sprinkling cumin on the roast lamb, and seemed to be brushing something on it constantly?
That's right, besides cumin, there are sesame seeds, and there is a strong fragrance in the air, which makes people feel extremely hungry just by smelling it.

Reluctantly, Xu Zheng looked back at the roast sheep every three steps, and walked slowly down the plank road.

Of course, sesame seeds were brought back from the Western Regions. There are both black and white sesame seeds. The Han people tried planting them, but the yield was not high.

Cumin is a local product. Before chili appeared, it could be replaced a little... It is not right. It should be said that cumin was replaced by chili, or it was ground cumin and ginger to provide a spicy stimulus to the taste. (variety of wasabi)

"Such a big tribe, only one general..." Liu Yan looked away from where Xu Zheng had disappeared, and looked at Lu Yi with a wry smile: "If according to the establishment system, the general can only command [-] troops?"

Lu Yi smiled and said nothing. The last time Liu Yan suddenly lost his temper, a dozen or so promising officers were directly thrown to the Korean peninsula to blow the cold wind, which caused some faults for the officers of the Han army.

The officials were really frightened. Otherwise, they all felt that they should not be cowarded even if they were frightened in the face of war. If they were to be counseled, they should be abandoned like those people.

The army of the Han in the territory of Hou Zhao was 1, the Miaodao Islands had only 1000, and the Liaodong narrow peninsula had [-]. That is to say, the entire Han army had [-] soldiers without counting the system.

Considering that the total population of the Han tribe is only 20, the military-to-civilian ratio of one-tenth is actually quite exaggerated. In the future, the number of troops will be increased again and again, perhaps more and more will be fought, and eventually it will be close to five. Wan (war soldiers and auxiliary soldiers).

"Donglai County will be easier to fight." Liu Yan was already cutting the mutton with his own hands with a dagger: "It's also a small place in the frontier, there are not many counties, and naturally there are not many big families."

"Yeah, the wounds caused by the massacre 30 or [-] years ago did not heal so quickly." Lu Yi was talking about the status quo of the entire Qingzhou: "Donglai County will be taken soon without any accidents, but I don't know what the king wants to do." How do you deal with counterattacks?"

"No, it's not a counterattack." Liu Yan shook his gathered hands, holding a dagger in that hand: "After capturing Donglai County, we will go straight to Beihai County. If Mr. Gong Tao's movements are not too slow, the battlefield will be preset at micro Over there by the water (around Tanfang City).”

Lu Yi nodded: "It is indeed a great opportunity to seize Qingzhou, and it would be a pity to make mistakes."

What Liu Yan wants to know most now is how many people there are in Qingzhou, and when will the new governor Liu Wei react.

I heard, just heard that Guanggu City (the east side of Zibo City) has never been an auspicious place. Whoever becomes the owner of the city will end up in a miserable end?
