Destiny Only Han

Chapter 1098 Liu Ying: As expected of you!
The dawn was quiet.

The endless Han army camps were only filled with smoke.

After all, military law is strict. If you march out of line, help people in front or behind, talk loudly, or disobey forbidden instructions, this is called disordering the army, and the offenders will be killed.

Therefore, the soldiers who were queuing up to serve food with food bowls as big as their faces in their hands just stared at the marching pot that exuded bursts of aroma, and kept swallowing their saliva.

Today's breakfast is stewed duck with potatoes, which is similar to the recipe of beer duck. At this moment, the bones and meat of the duck have been separated, the potatoes are already soft, and there is a thick layer of oil rolling on the pot, and the aroma is overflowing.

On the other side, there are rice steamers piled into a hill.

Soldiers have enough rice.

Officers above [-] generals have two more options: fish stew and braised pork.

Zhou Yafu followed his father's instructions and would visit every meal time.

And beside him today, there were Jia Yi and Liu Yingke who were so excited that they couldn't sleep all night.

Jia Yi stared and asked, "Is this a soldier's breakfast?"

Zhou Yafu scolded softly: "Keep your voice down!"

Jia Yi nodded and lowered his voice: "The food in the army is better than what I ate at Chang'an University! Except that the rice tastes a little different..."

Liu Yingke smiled and said: "That's natural."

"The water network of the Duhu Mansion in Mengzhou is crisscrossed, and the rice is harvested three times a year. Naturally, the rice is not as good as the rice in the country, especially the northern cold area rice eaten in Chang'an."

"But you said that the food in the military is better than that in the university cafeteria. I don't believe it."

"After all, it's a university, and it's full of proud students and pillars of the country. How can the food be inferior to the food that soldiers eat, which is called stewed duck with potatoes, but is actually mainly potatoes?"

Zhou Yafu laughed silently.

It’s not that someone is skimping on food when it comes to eating potatoes and rice. It’s because these foods can replenish physical energy faster than big fish and meat. They can help you stay full, fight hunger, and are cheap.

As for duck, it is a specialty here. Local farmers only keep the duck feathers, and the duck meat is basically sold half way and half given away.

After all, there is plenty of water and fish here, so raising ducks costs almost nothing.

On the other side, after hearing Liu Yingke's words, Jia Yi said with disdain: "It would be great if we can compete!"

"The year I first entered school, the new academic director had a problem in his head. He said something like Mencius said. When heaven is about to assign a great responsibility to a person, he must first strain his mind, work his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, and deplete his body before he can do it. His actions were messed up, so his heart and mind were tempted, which helped him achieve what he couldn't do..."

"So, for the past six months, I had been eating and drinking from a basketful of food, and I was so hungry that my chest pressed against my back..."

Just as Liu Yingke was about to laugh loudly, he suddenly remembered Zhou Yafu's previous "three orders and five orders", so he covered his mouth to prevent himself from laughing out loud, holding back his laughter until his whole body trembled.

At this time, the rumbling war drums sounded at the shogunate of the Chinese army.

Beat the drum and gather the generals.

Zhou Yafu didn't have time to say anything, he rushed towards the Chinese shogunate.

Liu Yingke and Jia Yi were civil servants, so it was okay to be late, but he was a military general. If he was late, he would be beaten with a military stick at the least, or be pushed out of the camp and beheaded at worst!

Amidst the rumble of drums, the soldiers queuing up for meals also sped up their movements.

The battle is about to begin!

..............................

Pinglu Zhonglang will be the shogunate.

The lighting torches beeped.

When Chen Bi raised his hand and was about to drop the last finger, all the generals in the army came to the scene. Everyone wore their helmets and shook their armor with solemn expressions.

Zhou Yafu and Liu Zhao are no exception.

The army is a place where rules are enforced. No matter whether you are a relative of the emperor or a beloved general of the emperor, you must obey the orders of the commander in formal occasions, otherwise you will definitely lose your head!
Chen Bi raised the letter of war sent by King Xunjia and said loudly: "Yesterday the leader of the thieves sent someone to deliver the letter and agreed to a decisive battle today. You must fulfill your duties loyally and do your best to defeat the thieves!"

After he finished speaking, he held the command arrow in his hand: "Where is Liu Zhao, the Marquis of Dongmao?"

Liu Zhao clasped his fists: "The end is here!"

Chen Bi said loudly: "I appoint you as an infantry general to face the enemy head-on!"

Liu Zhao leaned forward: "The last general takes orders!"

Chen Bi drew out another command arrow: "Where is Zhou Yafu?"

Zhou Yafu stood out from the crowd: "The end is here!"

Chen Bi said loudly: "I am appointed as a cavalry general. You can make decisions when the opportunity arises and wait for the opportunity to defeat the enemy!"

Zhou Yafu clasped his fists: "The last general takes orders!"

After Chen Bi further gave instructions on who should stay behind and who should be responsible for liaison, issuing orders, investigation and other tasks, he stood up and said loudly: "In one hour, the whole army will set off!"

Zhou Yafu and others clasped their fists in salute and filed out.

Chen Bi sat down again and waited for the latest instructions from Chang'an City while eating.

Well, he is actually a puppet...

........................

Changle Palace.

Hall of Martial Arts.

When Liu Ying strolled in, the place was already busy.

Han Xin was holding a water glass and staring blankly at the sand table.

After all, he was inexperienced in this method of commanding an army to fight thousands of miles away.

Therefore, no matter how confident he was in the combat power of the Han army, he was still full of anxiety.

Seeing Liu Ying walking in, there was a cry of long live the mountain in the hall.

Liu Ying sat down with a smile, looked around, and asked a very classic question.

"have you eaten?"

Li Shang Wangling and others looked at each other with confusion on their faces.

Liu Ying went on to say: "Mengzhou Protector's Mansion is two hours behind ours, and it's not very bright yet over there! When it gets daybreak, the army will have breakfast and then line up in formation, and we will have lunch soon. ”

"So, when it's time to eat, don't delay anything..."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and BOC, who was standing at the door, immediately hurried away.

Wang Ling, Li Shang and others looked at each other again, feeling flattered in their hearts.Today, the emperor is in charge of the meal!

Han Xin was a little surprised, but his emotional intelligence had improved recently, so he didn't say anything and just sat under Liu Ying.

After a while, the telegram arrived.

Liu Ying took a look and said with a smile: "Look, it's just as I expected. Marquis Boyang said that the army will set off in an hour..."

Han Xin nodded and continued eating, with a calm look on his face.

He had been worried that King Xunjia would not follow the routine, for example, the whole army would attack the Han army's barrier overnight, and that would be a bad battle. When soldiers from both sides got together, what they were fighting for was physical strength and will. The sharp advantage of weapons will be greatly reduced.

Now it seems that all worries are unnecessary.

..............................

Xunjia camp.

early morning.

The smoke curled up.

After the Royal Navy sank all the anchored Sunga transport ships, it immediately cruised upstream, so the Sunga soldiers had an entire undisturbed night.

King Xunjia stood in the watchtower next to the commander's tent, looking at the orderly military camp, feeling very satisfied.

In the past, there was no order in the Sunga army, and people urinating and urinating everywhere were everywhere.

Now, after he promulgated the magically revised version of the Han army's military discipline and mercilessly killed some of the thorns who knowingly committed crimes, military discipline has been revived.

And this is directly reflected in combat effectiveness.

King Xunjia firmly believed that if he was given another ten years, he would surely unify the entire body and become a being that could compete with the Emperor of Han!
Therefore, this battle can only be won, not lost!
After secretly cheering himself up, he walked down from the watchtower with his head held high.

What was waiting for him was an elephant with an umbrella canopy and decorated with gold and agate everywhere.

This is his 'command vehicle'.

After the war begins, he will appear in the army riding this majestic elephant to inspire the soldiers of the Sunga Kingdom to fight bravely!

..............................

It’s eight o’clock Mengzhou time.

The Han army began to line up and leave the camp.

Although the sun has begun to get hot at this time, there is no way. Many things in the world are not subject to human will.

Besides, heat goes both ways.

If the Han army is hot, the Sundanese people will also feel the heat.

Before the battle even started, soldiers from both sides had already entered into a stage of competition of will and physical fitness.

Jia Yi took a gourd from the saddle and took a sip of water mixed with vinegar and salt. He couldn't help but tremble a few times, and instantly felt that his brain became much clearer.

He said with a smile: "Your Majesty is truly a genius, to think of such a refreshing method!"

Liu Yingke hummed and nodded.

Well, he was now overly excited and retching. He was worried that if he spoke he would vomit out all the food he had eaten, so he pursed his lips tightly.

Jia Yi laughed silently.

In fact, he was also very nervous, so he deliberately kept silent.

After all, for many years in the Han Dynasty, they had only learned about the war in school books and elders’ descriptions, but they did not expect that they would become a member of this rolling torrent...

Liu Yingke patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief after feeling better.

"I don't know where Zhou Yafu went..."

"I think at this moment, he has already led his light troops to fight the enemy."

After Jia Yi finished speaking, he looked into the distance with a longing face.

But it didn't.

As a cavalry general, Zhou Yafu had to command the overall situation and lead hundreds of light soldiers to spy on the enemy's situation and kill the enemy's vigor. Naturally, he would not be responsible for it.

At this time, it was Li Guang, a member of the Prince's family, who was leading dozens of cavalrymen from the Mengzhou Protectorate to go around the enemy's rear and launch sneak attacks and armed reconnaissance.

However, the Suncas also had light troops.

As soon as Li Guang rounded a swamp, he saw a dozen Sunga cavalrymen with cloth strips wrapped around their heads sitting on the roadside to rest.

"Come on!"

"Kill them all!"

He roared and beat the horse like flying.

Behind Li Guang, the Imperial Guard cavalry came to a conclusion.

This is a fool.

After all, this place is already under Sunga control. When seeing a group of Sunga cavalry, the first thing to do is to observe the enemy's situation and judge whether it is a bait, and then decide whether to go up and kill them...

But there is no way. According to the military regulations of the Han army, as "short soldiers" around Li Guang, that is, personal soldiers, if Li Guang dies in battle, they will also be buried with him...

Therefore, they can only rush!

After a while, Li Guang began to feel annoyed when he looked at the Xunjia cavalry lying on the ground.

"Why don't you know how to stay alive?"

"By the way, do you know the way?"

……

The cavalrymen of the Protectorate had expressions of grievance on their faces, and they dared not speak out in anger.

After all, the last Sunga cavalryman who escaped was chased by Li Guang and shot dead with his own hands, but this guy complained that they would not leave him alive!
Not a man!

and many more.

What did that guy just say?
Do you know the way?
Is it difficult?
The cavalrymen of the Protectorate looked at each other with an ominous premonition in their hearts.

By the way, they won't get lost...
