Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 373 Fried Noodles
In Huoshan Guanshuai's tent, Shao Yun, Jia He, Feng Sai and Zhao Cheng were sitting around, with a nearby map on the table in the middle.

After watching for a long time, Shao Yun said: "The military order of Jinglue and Wang Zhenfu ordered us to take the initiative to attack and defeat Wei Yi's troops on the opposite side. After the road was cleared, the army went north and occupied Guozhou again. The roads in this area are rough, which is not conducive to the army. Action. Whether it is offensive or defensive, it is inconvenient. It is best to attack by surprise, and when Wei Yi finds out, the overall situation is settled."

Jia He said: "Going down from the volcano, there is a deep stream. Now in winter, there is no water, and Wei Yi's army is stationed there. Four or five miles to the north, there is another uphill road with nine twists and eighteen turns, and it is extremely difficult to walk. Only when entering the Badi River Valley in the west can the road be smoother."

Feng Daozuo: "After so many days in Huoshanguan, how many people does Wei Yi have?"

Shao Yundao: "According to the calculation of his food transport team, there should be more than 1000 people. At the beginning, there seemed to be nearly 3000 people. It is really difficult to station a large army at the Huoshan Pass, and it is also difficult to transport food, so it gradually decreased."

Feng Sai nodded: "If there are more than a thousand people in the prison, our number will be indispensable."

Shao Yundao: "Wang Zhenfu wants to attack with 2000 people. I will be the main general and a few assistants. Five days later, the army will arrive and order us to be ready. I call you today to discuss how to attack."

Several people looked at the map and did not speak for a long time.Finally, Feng Saidao: "After passing the deep stream, there is a mountain depression here. The road goes around the mountain from here, and there is no other way. If we send people down and defend here, Wei Yi's army in front of the pass will all become entangled turtles. It's just this It is really not easy to avoid the enemy's eyeliner in the area with high mountains and dense forests."

Shao Yundao: "When I came to the Lu family, Wang Shenyi made a special confession. With Wei Yi, there is no need to pursue a war of annihilation, but a war of defeat. When the enemy is driven to the vicinity of Guozhou, we can find a way to wipe them all out. Huoshan is here, we just need to Just defeat Wei Yi and open the way."

Feng Daozuo: "That's easy! Mark the positions of Wei Yi's various ministries clearly, choose a day, and rush down the mountain! Wei Yi's subordinates are mostly recruited recently, but they are just a mob. I'm afraid he will do something!"

Jia He nodded: "That's right. We have an absolute advantage, so why bother with the enemy! After a month of attacking, the enemy should be tired. By the time we rush down the mountain, they still won't run away!"

Several people discussed and discussed, and felt that the war should not be complicated, just simple.The Jin army was already exhausted from attacking. As long as the Song army suddenly attacked bravely, the enemy would be defeated immediately.

That night, Shao Yun wrote everyone's opinions into a document and reported to Lushi County.

In the county government office, Wang Xiaolie read Shao Yun's documents.Put it on the case, and said to Li Yanxian: "What do you think of Jing Lue?"

Li Yanxian said: "Wei Yi led the troops in Huoshan Pass for a month, and he should be tired. As long as we rush out, we will definitely flee in all directions. The most important thing is that Shao Yun and others can catch up. Don't let Wei Yi escape back to Guozhou, Organize your defense."

Wang Xiaolie nodded and said, "Huohuoguan is still far away from Guozhou, so it's not easy to transport grain and grass on the road. Now it's cold, I want each of Shao Yun's troops to bring a few days of rations, in case the army transporting grain can't keep up." Xiangyang tried many kinds of military rations, and now the most suitable ones are pancakes and special fried noodles. These can be eaten as long as there is hot water, which is much better than rice. Although the noodles are easier to eat, when they are cold, if Soaking it in boiling water has no taste, so it is not suitable."

After finishing speaking, he said to Wang Ruohai: "Consultant, bring the fried noodles from the army and let Li Jing have a taste."

Wang Ruohai ordered his soldiers to fetch a small packet of fried noodles and put it on the table.He took another enamel bowl and poured fried noodles into it.

Wang Xiaolie pointed to the enamel bowl and said: "The enamel bowl was just trial-produced in Ruzhou earlier this year, and it is finally ready for equipment now. This bowl has the advantages of ceramics, and it is not afraid of falling. It is most suitable for military use."

Li Yanxian tapped it with a spoon, nodded and said, "It's really a good thing!"

"If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. When the army goes out to fight, the food must be good. You can't let the army go hungry while fighting."Wang Xiaolie introduced while pouring hot water into the enamel bowl. "In the past two years, Dengzhou's army has put a lot of thought into making sure that the army doesn't have to worry about food and drink when they go out to battle. Now that many things have matured, they can finally be used in the army."

After soaking the fried noodles in the enamel bowl and stirring them with a spoon, Wang Xiaolie said to Li Yanxian, "Have a taste."

Li Yanxian took a sip, nodded and said: "Okay, it's very sweet! Look, there are oily flowers on it! This fried noodles must have put a lot of thought into it? It looks like the price is not cheap."

Wang Xiaolie said: "These are selected high-quality wheat noodles with brown sugar and lard in them, and they are carefully fried. When they are cooked, they will be carefully rolled with a rolling pin, and finally put into oiled paper bags. The weather, chow mein is not bad for a month."

Li Yanxian nodded and ate the noodles in the bowl with a spoon, full of praise.

Historically, there were a lot of military rations in the army, and there were even more military rations in the name of snacks in many places.However, the military rations actually used by the army do not actually have so many varieties.Fried noodles have been verified by the War of Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and they are really easy to use.Speaking of the hard work of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, it is often said that soldiers can only eat one bite of snow and one bite of fried noodles.In fact, when conditions permit, the taste of fried noodles washed with boiling water is not too bad.Fried noodles are easy to make, durable to store, easy to carry, and can be eaten with water, which is an ideal military ration.It is a good pairing with easy-to-storage millet pancakes.

Noodles in many places, such as light cakes, sesame cakes, fire, stone buns, etc., are said to have been used as military rations, but they are not suitable.These foods may be shelf-stable and easy to carry, but once soaked in water, they have no taste at all.When marching, there was no beef soup and mutton soup, so there was no way to make steamed buns with mutton.Compared with fried noodles, it is too bad.

Li Yanxian drank all the fried noodles in the bowl, and said, "When I guarded Shanzhou at the beginning of the year, where did I have this kind of food? In the end, I just found a few beans in the city and cooked them to fill everyone's stomachs. It is different from the hardships at that time." In comparison, it is much better now."

Wang Xiaolie said: "The Jin army started from the poor land between the white mountains and the black waters. Compared with the Central Plains, there is a world of difference. Although the two capitals are all scorched, the rest of the state troops under the rule have also been robbed. After two years Recovery is actually not too difficult. Our army has enough food, sufficient training, and elite soldiers, which is no worse than the Jin army. What is worse now is a lack of energy. These years, the Jin army has plundered everywhere. 1 people can reach Nanling, and it can be said that they are invincible. The people of the world are afraid of being beaten, and the army is also afraid of being beaten. There is no big victory, and our army is also at a loss. No matter how strong our own strength is , I always feel that the Golden Army will be stronger."

Li Yanxian clenched his fists and said: "So hiding is not an option! We must fight with Jin Jun! We beat Jin Jun until he ran away with his head in his arms!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "To fight against the Jin army, one must have enough strength. Now Dengzhou has more than 5 soldiers, with more than enough for the rules, but not enough for the attack. Not long ago, in the Battle of Fuping, the Jin army was [-]. Imagine [-] soldiers. Who dares to say that the Jin army will win in Dengzhou? When the Jin army comes to attack, we must resolutely defend and counterattack back if necessary. But we can’t attack too far and lose the fundamental. This attack on Guozhou is like this. Wushu With less than [-] fine cavalry, it is not enough to attack Xiangyang and Dengzhou with all our strength to go south. But it is enough to attack the Jinglue headquarters. At this time, we must unite with sincerity and form a fist, and the Jin army will have no chance. If Otherwise, the Jin army can defeat each other and wipe out our forces one by one."

Li Yanxian nodded after hearing this, but did not speak.

With Wang Xiaolie and the others these few days, Li Yanxian could feel that Wang Xiaolie had the idea of ​​joining forces with him.From the perspective of the country and the nation, joining forces is right.Guozhou and Shangzhou are the north gates of Xiangyang and Dengzhou. If they are not in their own hands, Wang Xiaolie can't sleep well.Without Wang Xiaolie's support, Li Yanxian had a hard time defending these places.After joining forces, it was like clenching a fist, and he became more confident against the Jin army.But from a personal point of view, Li Yanxian's strength is relatively weak, and once he joins forces, he will definitely be inferior to Wang Xiaolie.

Li Yanxian is not a person who is greedy for power, but he has been hesitating because of the seriousness of the matter.

Wang Ruohai said: "Wu Shu led people to attack the Lu family. Because the road was difficult, he ran to Luoyang. He only thought of attacking, but didn't think of defending. He left Guozhou, and Guozhou was empty. We took this opportunity to start again. Occupy Guozhou, I don't know if he will come back."

Wang Xiaolie said: "I will definitely come back. The Jinren set up Liu Yu to hand over the Jingdong and Jingxi roads to him to separate them from the dynasty. Now the Jin army is attacking the Shaanxi road. What is Wushu doing in Luoyang?" !"

Li Yanxian said: "Okay, this time we will attack Guozhou and win a big victory! The rest of the matter will be discussed after the victory!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Wei Yi claims to have nearly 2 people, so it can't be true. Our two armies have 8000 people. If even Wei Yi can't win the battle, what can we say? People from the Jin Army take a look!"

Li Yanxian said: "I will inform Shao Yun and others, and there will be no delay!"
