Chapter 733 The strange habits of officials
Li Ganshun's tactical backwardness would not affect Yue Fei's interest in cooking, nor would it affect the appetite of Hejian soldiers. They set up a pot, stewed millet porridge, set fire, bake green onion pancakes, cut two slices of Jinhua ham, and the aroma of meat drifted into the city walls along the wind.
"Yang Huang, eat something?" Yue Fei smiled and handed Huang Yanjie a bowl.
Huang Yanjie shook his head and said, "I won't eat it anymore. I've eaten it before I came up. The King of Xixia should know the news that General Yue had climbed to the city. I'm probably going to go to the inner city to meet Li Ganshun."
"Then I'm not polite. Thank you too, Angel Huang for the green onion. Otherwise, the pancakes will always taste bad." Yue Fei put a bowl of rice porridge and took the pancakes that Beiwei Jun personally guarded.
This is not the etiquette of Yue Fei not meeting the angels, but the Hejianjun lies in the mountain nest all day yesterday, lying dormant, and eating dry food. Although the taste of fried dry noodles is not bad, they are fried dry noodles all day long, and their stomachs are sour.
"Zhang Xian, please remind the soldiers to boil the water in the water bag. Remember to let the supervisor investigate more strictly. There are always people who want to be lazy and save trouble." Yue Fei said to Zhang Xian while eating.
Not talking about eating or sleeping is a good living habit, but this kind of etiquette among the army seems pretentious.
Zhang Xian nodded and continued to chew the pancakes with green onions, and went to the military camp to convey Yue Fei's orders.
Yue Fei stopped Zhang Xian, who was walking further and further, shouting: "There are also letting the soldiers stew the wild game that they had made on the marching road for half an hour before eating. We are not in a hurry. The one who is anxious should be the King of Xixia. Let the governor stare at it tightly, so don't get any disease."
"A bunch of greed, don't eat yourself."
Huang Yanjie asked with confusion on his face: "I dare to ask General Yue, it's just that it's cooked, why do you need to stew it for half an hour?"
Yue Fei smiled and said, "This is all the official's concern. You also know that our official family attaches great importance to cleanliness. Last time he caught a geese in Yanjing, the official family insisted that it would be stewed for half an hour before he could finish his mouth."
Huang Yanjie then realized that his official family always had some strange habits. He never drank raw water when drinking water, brushed his teeth every day, and never ate raw food when eating.
There were many delicious ingredients such as sashimi and sashimi in the Song Dynasty. Officials never liked to touch them. They once promoted this hygiene awareness in tabloids and newspapers, but unfortunately the effect was minimal.
"We don't know these habits of the official family, so General Yue is really interested." Huang Yanjie bowed and said.
"Go and call all the genin generals over here, let's study when to retreat." Yue Fei said to his Beiwei Army guard.
There were about 800 guards in the Beiwei Army, which was also the team that Zhong Shidao lent to Yue Fei to 800 Qingtang horses. Of course, with years of war, there were only about 400 guards in the eight hundred guards who were the original marriage officers.
The first battalion and two battalion deputy were both generals of the middle account, and several generals had arrived at Yue Fei shortly after.
They stared at the blue chicken in the pot, drooling in their greed.
Yue Fei has many palace seasonings rewarded by officials. These spices that ordinary people cannot touch are put into the pot and the fragrance is everywhere.
"Come and let me taste it." Niu Gao raised his chopsticks excitedly and reached into the blue horse chicken in the pot.
Yue Fei didn't say anything, just stared at Niu Gao with his eyes squinting. Niu Gao's chopsticks were not inserted into the pot in the end, and he said with a smirk: "I forgot, I forgot, I'll pay attention next time."
Niu Gao naturally said that the military order issued by Yue Fei just now, that wild game must be stewed for half an hour before it can be eaten.
Yue Fei strictly enforced military orders. Even though Niu Gao was an old man at the time, he still could not escape the punishment of being beaten with a military stick.
Niu Gao tasted it once after drinking and misleading the incident last time. He swore that he would never be treated with such a strong military stick in his life.
"Look, you're greedy." Yue Fei said helplessly: "Even if the official family always has the holy grace, the amount of Jinhua ham in our Hejian Army is actually not very large. From generals to soldiers, they all greedy for this little meat."
The Hejian Army is the most elite army in the Song Dynasty until now, but with the all-round resource tilt, the Hejian Army still cannot guarantee the supply of meat, let alone other brother troops?
The official also thought of many ways to do this, and even came up with a book called "Sow's Postpartum Care". Unfortunately, it takes time to raise a large scale.
The official always believes that an elite force needs to rely on a large amount of supplies to become elite, and Yue Fei agrees deeply.
Eating a lot of meat will naturally make you strong, especially for military soldiers, which consume a lot of physical strength. Replenishing meat is a headache for every general in the Song Dynasty.
In the absence of sufficient meat, the Song army could only rely on hunting to supplement the consumption of meat. It took half an hour to stew it. This was Yue Fei's request to the soldiers, and his helplessness and compromise with reality.
According to the official's principle that the disease comes from the mouth, Yue Fei was unwilling to let the soldiers eat these unknown things, but they were not full and could not fight. If they were killed by the enemy because of their physical strength, the soldiers would be even more unable to rest.
"If the Jinhua ham supply in the Song Dynasty is sufficient, I will pinch you, your greed." Yue Fei opened the geometric map and pointed to the places in Wuhai, Hangjin, Xingqing Prefecture, and Xi'an Prefecture.
Huang Yanjie hurried forward and said, "General Yue, according to my observation, the Liang family may have behind the scenes of the Sixth Left Military Supervisory Office to assist Xingqing Prefecture. The Xixia army in Wuhai City will also rush to assist Xingqing Prefecture as soon as possible after receiving the emergency documents from Xingqing Prefecture."
Yue Fei nodded and said, "The Citizens who were scattered along the Yellow River have already sent the information. There are indeed signs of troops being transferred to Xingqing Prefecture in Jiuzhou, Hexi. The guardian of Wuhai City is Li Renzhong, and he will definitely come to serve the king."
After many parties applied for the campaign, Yue Fei affirmed that the Liang family finally chose the side of the Wang family in Xixia in this matter.
Yue Fei pointed to Wuhai City and slid to the location of Xingqing Prefecture and said, "We must stay here for up to five days, and we must cross the Yellow River from the barrier and head to Hangjin City. According to the reaction speed of the Xixia people in the previous two raids of Xingqing Prefecture, if we stay, we may be blocked by Wuhai City reinforcements and then fall into a state of entanglement around us."
Zhang Xian accompanied Yue Fei to Xingqing Mansion twice. He calculated based on his fingers. In fact, the reaction time of Xixia was six days. This day that was spared was Yue Fei's growth in the past few years of war, and he was prepared for any eventuality.
"If the Qin Feng Army in Xi'anzhou can go straight to Lingwu from here, we don't have to retreat, which is a pity." Niu Gao pointed to Xi'anzhou and went to Lingwu and said.
