As night fell, in the desolation, the cavalrymen who had been staying for a short time were eating. Wang Yuwen of Xiyang, like other soldiers, ate the buns while they were hot. Due to the restrictions on conditions, the buns were just a little hot and they were still cold inside.

The word "bun" should not have appeared in this era. Nowadays, the noun corresponding to "bun" should be "mant bun", that is, a cake with stuffing. Later generations said that steamed buns were usually called steamed cakes or cooked cakes in this era, and there was no stuffing.

In this era, pasta was called "cake", and those who were roasted (baked) by fire were called sesame cakes; those who were boiled by water were called soup cakes or water incense, which generally refers to noodle soup or noodles called later generations.

Those who eat steamers are called steamed cakes. This thing has no filling, but is actually the steamed buns mentioned in later generations. It is said that in the Northern Song Dynasty, in order to avoid the name of the Zhao official family (Renzong Zhao Zhen, Steamed Tongzhen), the people in the palace called steamed cakes a cooking cake, so the name of steamed cakes has since become cooked cakes.

Therefore, Wu Dalang, who sells cooked cakes in "Water Margin", sells not sesame cakes, but steamed buns.

Didn’t it mean that the name of cooked cake was only in the Song Dynasty? Why did the name of cooked cake actually existed in this era? It’s so unscientific!

Yuwen Wen thought so and took a bite of the bun. Nowadays, the cooked cakes in the army are all filled with stuffing and should be called steamed buns. However, this title always makes Yuwen Wen feel that the word "bun" is used inappropriately. Therefore, the word "bun" appears for granted.

The most popular buns in the army (cooking cakes with fillings) are not meat filling but oily fillings. If you bite this kind of bun, it will not be oily, but oily, but just the feeling of the mouth full of oil and even the fingers being oily, which can increase the soldiers' sense of happiness to the maximum.

Eating too much oil will cause diarrhea, but for most people these days, it is not easy to have enough oil and water, so the cooking cakes (oil residue buns) with oil residue filling are the most popular food among soldiers.

But for Yuwen Wen, this kind of food is too oily, so if you have to choose, he chooses pancakes/buns with shredded pork or bean paste.

This time, the dry food he brought was oil residue bag. Yuwen Wen was afraid that he would get diarrhea if he had too much food, so he reduced his appetite by half. His stomach was half full for several days, and his appetite increased slowly. He looked around and it was pitch black and gave up the idea of ​​playing wild game.

Now that I am fighting, if I accidentally enter the deep forest for hunting and be shot to death by several hunters as wild boars, it would be unfair!

After walking back and forth for a few steps to stretch out his muscles and bones, Yuwen Wen sat down by the bonfire, looked around, and looked at the ruins of Changshe City, which felt a bit like a change of worldly affairs.

This Changshe is not the other Changshe. The Changshe, which the enemy guards, is still seventy or eighty miles south. It is the "New Changshe". The ruins of Changshe City where Yuwen Wen is located are the "original" Changshe City.

Just like many Henan cities, Changshe has a long history and is said to have been found in the Spring and Autumn Period, and was named Changge at that time.

During the Warring States Period, the trees in Changge's shrine grew rapidly, so it was renamed Changshe. The water flowed through the city and flowed to the downstream Yanling and Fugou.

Nearly a thousand years later, the East and West Wei fought against each other. The Western Wei sent troops to occupy Changshe, Yingzhou Prefecture, which was originally part of the Eastern Wei. The Eastern Wei then sent troops to counterattack and surrounded the city. As a result, it could not be captured for a long time. So he built a circle of long encirclements around Changshe, and then intercepted the water and irrigated the city with water.

At this time, the Western Wei Dynasty had not recovered from the defeat of the Battle of Mangshan. The troops were too short to send reinforcements to rescue Changshe. So the defenders of Changshe persisted for a year, and the city walls were soaked down because of their exhaustion of food and they had to surrender.

After this disaster, all the fertile fields around Changshe City were destroyed, and the water quality of the wells in the city was extremely poor, and it was no longer suitable for the people to settle down. Therefore, the Eastern Wei court moved the prefecture south to Yingyin City, nearly 80 miles away.

The Eastern Wei changed the State of Qi and changed Yingyin to Changshe, which is now Changshe City, which is the "New Changshe".

The Zhou State destroyed Qi State and renamed Yingzhou to Zhengzhou. The prefecture was still in Changshe (Yingyin).

Now, Yuwen Wen, who led his troops to detour, stayed at the former site of Changshe. This place is not far from Xuchang, so he could not stay for too long. He came here specifically not to study the history of Changshe City, but to surprise the enemy, because it is located in the north of Xuchang.

In other words, the former site of Changshe is located on the upper wind direction of Xuchang.

The fires flashed in the night, and soldiers were busy around carriages. These vehicles were towed by horses and were specially made four-wheelers, loaded with items, and could move quickly with the cavalry in the wilderness without roads.

Yuwen Wen had a bad taste in naming equipment, such as Hu Biao (Maza). He took a long name called: the lower limb support unit of the high-motor multi-purpose light single soldier low-position position maintenance system.

So for this special carriage, he naturally gave it a cool and cool name, but it can make people confused: the Army's advanced high-mobile and universal battle, and the tactical reconnaissance support system with many terrain off-road vehicles.

The simplified name is "torked off-road horse carriage", and the more poetic name is "Purple Horse".

A horse refers to a red horse with a black mane and a black tail (a dairy horse), while a purple horse is a red horse with a red color and purple color. It looks extremely pleasing to the eye and has a feeling of a sweat-blooded BMW. Yuwen Wen called "off-road horse carriage" with this name, just to get a good intention.

The "Purple Horse" has a specially reinforced structure, specially made shock absorbers and roller bearings, which are full of materials and can be loaded with hundreds of kilograms of cargo when two horses are dragged and the road conditions are quite bumpy. It moves for more than 500 miles without any faults.

A car is a good car, but it is expensive. The comprehensive cost of a "purple horse" is twelve times that of an ordinary carriage. It cannot be afforded by ordinary people. It is currently used by Yuwen Wen, who is rich and powerful, to carry hot air balloons.

A "Purple Horse" can carry a whole hot air balloon and its supporting equipment. As the cavalry moves rapidly, Yuwen Wen's army uses a large number of "Purple Horses" to carry hot air balloons (shrunk state) to carry hot air balloons (shrunk state).

This is the case when attacking the slipper table, and the same is true for setting fire to the fire warehouse, so Yuwen Wen's army was able to unexpectedly use hot air balloons to achieve great achievements.

After all, the movement speed and direction of the hot air balloon are limited by wind power, and it is impossible to "combat maneuver" by itself alone. It must be equipped with reliable vehicles, follow the cavalry and intersperse.

Looking at these "purple horses", Yuwen Wen's thoughts were dissipated: it would be good to use them as "infantry fighting vehicles" in the future.

He took back his inexplicable thoughts and watched the soldiers prepare hot air balloons. This was the last batch of hot air balloons he had left. Now the wind direction and wind speed are right, so it will be very useful in a while.

The soldiers were quite skilled in fiddling with hot air balloons. After a while, the hot air balloons ignited one by one, took the soldiers in the hanging basket and took off the air. They were blown by the north wind and drifted to Xuchang, more than 20 miles south.

Yuwen Wen looked at the pocket watch in the fire. If the air became colder today and it was dark early, I roughly estimate the time. When the hot air balloon arrives over Xuchang, the time should be good.
