Good man, he has a golden finger

Since the emperor began to prepare for war with the Huns, Xie Tingzhou has actually been returning from modern times to purchase supplies. The number of soldiers on the entire border of the Yong Dynasty has not exceeded one million, and they are all guarding the city on the border. Although the Huns will not suddenly Attack in a big way, but there will be harassment all day long.

Just last winter, the Huns quietly sent out troops several times. Each time they harassed the city, and then secretly went to the surrounding villages to carry out massacres. The cities on the border would always encounter this. During the Chinese New Year this year, even the Queen Mother During the birthday banquet, none of the border generals came back, so the emperor gave him something to appease him in advance.

Compared with the treasures that literati like, military generals value the materials sent more, so Xie Tingzhou almost got dozens of tons of canned meat, canned fruits, and compressed biscuits. These things have already been used during the New Year. Instead of military rations, they were sent to the border. What went to the border with these things were the 'kitchen knives' that were to be distributed to ordinary soldiers.

Because these knives are custom-made and have the word "Dayong" on them, it can be said that they are very well made and besides being small, their lethality is very strong.

After walking on the road for almost three months, these supplies arrived at Bianyao, the closest border of the Yong Dynasty. Outside the Bianyao city was the grassland, which was often invaded by the Huns, especially in winter, when the Huns had no food. They were crazy, so there were several battles almost every few days, so when the quartermaster came over with everything, General Hua Ximin had just led the soldiers to repel a Xiongnu team and snatched back a lot of horses and weapons. .

"These weapons are distributed to the soldiers below, and the horses are directly killed for meat."

Hua Ximin is over 50 years old this year, but he is a real veteran. He has been on the border for decades. When he was a teenager, he followed his father to guard the border city of Liaocheng. Later, his father died fighting against the Huns, and he stayed behind. After coming down, he was made a general based on his military exploits and took over his father's position. He has stayed here for so many years to fulfill his father's lifelong wish.

"General, the food and grass have been delivered this time, but the person who came is actually General Meng..."

Hua Ximin's personal guards had rushed over to report the situation, which made him stunned.

"General Meng?"

There is only one person in the entire Great Yong Dynasty who can be called General Meng, that is, General Meng, a veteran who is a strong general and paid a heavy price in fighting the Huns. General Meng had a leg broken on the battlefield. After that, he sent his sons to the battlefield one after another, and many of them died. Later, he was raised in the capital, and his other sons guarded other places in the Yong Dynasty.

"Yes, that is General Meng. He personally escorted this batch of food and grass. He is waiting for you inside the Yamen."

Now Hua Ximin did not dare to drive slowly anymore, and rode directly towards the Yamen. The frontier was bitterly cold, and there were no people on the streets at the moment. The people were all busy at home. Hua Ximin and the soldiers had a smooth journey. Arriving at the Yamen without any hindrance, he got off his horse and ran inside.

Sure enough, he saw General Meng, his father's old friend.

"Uncle Meng! Why did you come to deliver food and grass in person?"

You know, that battle back then was really tragic. His father died and Uncle Meng’s leg was broken. This ruined his great future. Uncle Meng was less than forty years old at that time. Looking at this gray-haired old man now, Hua Ximin Red eyes.

"Why can't I come? I'm just old, but I'm not dead yet!"

Meng Han laughed, he was really happy. He came all the way from the capital to here. Even if he was not a general in the war, but just delivering supplies, it still made him extremely happy. At least in the eyes of the Holy Lord, he was not an old and weak person. A general who is sick and disabled but can still lead his soldiers!

This time the supplies were so important that His Majesty arranged for General Meng to deliver them in person, even though he missed the Queen Mother's 10,000th birthday. Even so, General Meng was extremely happy.

"Uncle, look at what you said. If father hears it, he will say something about you again." Hua Ximin walked over and said with a smile. The people who killed the enemy on the battlefield were used to seeing life and death, so naturally they had already Regardless of life and death, no one in Hua Ximin would resent what happened to his father. He just thought that one day he would completely defeat the Huns and beat them to death!

Only in this way can my father's spirit in heaven be soothed.

"Okay, don't play these vain things with me here. This time, the Holy One sent me, an old guy, but there is an important handover. The situation is different this year. In a month or two, the Holy One plans to carry out an attack on the Xiongnu. A large-scale attack and recruitment is already underway. When the new batch of soldiers comes, it will be the day of war. I am here today to deliver military rations. "

General Meng was extremely happy at the thought of going to war with the Huns. Who didn't know that several of General Meng's sons died at the hands of the Huns. It was true that they were all loyal and loyal.

"Your Majesty is really going to send troops? How many troops do you plan to send this time? Are there enough weapons? There are also grains and grass. Why did you send them in person this time?" Hua Ximin didn't know what was about to happen, but he saw General Meng happily patted Hua Ximin's arm and said.

"This time the food and grass are too important, so the Holy One asked me to deliver it in person. This journey is smooth. Let's go and take you to see the new military rations that the Holy One has prepared for you!"

What’s so cool about military rations?

Hua Ximin thought so, but still went out with General Meng. When he saw General Meng limping, he originally wanted to help him, but General Meng waved his hand away.

"I can still walk by myself. I came here on horseback all the way. Do I need your support?"

Now Hua Ximin did not dare to make any more noise, and then he could only follow General Meng obediently, and came to the truck escorting the grain and grass. It turned out that this time the trucks that were being pushed over were all boxes, and there would be something inside. How much food should be put in?

The army also eats food, but it is not very good food, so they will keep robbing the Huns after killing them, just like the Huns did, but they rarely take the initiative to attack. By the way, it's usually defense.

General Meng directly opened a box and handed the compressed biscuits, canned meat and fruit, and a bag of marching supplies inside to Hua Ximin.

These were later compressed in a big way, just enough to put all the food together. The four-piece set is very easy to distribute and use, and to a certain extent, it prevents the food and grass from being corrupted.

General Meng ate this all along the way, and the soldiers he brought with him were simply overflowing with happiness.

"What is this?" Hua Ximin had never seen these things before. Finally, with the help of General Meng, he took them apart and then tasted this unspeakable delicacy in the world.

The compressed biscuits are salty and sweet. Although they are a bit hard to swallow and require a few sips of marching powder, they are really better than many snacks I have eaten before. After opening the canned meat and canned fruit, the canned meat is fragrant. The incomparable fragrance hits your nostrils, and it tastes even softer and delicious. There are also canned fruits, which are so sweet that it makes you squint your eyes.

Even Hua Ximin, a great general, couldn't afford such good food every time in Border Liaocheng.

"Is this the food and grass that the Holy One asked you to personally deliver?"

Hua Ximin simply doubted his life. Such a good thing, even if it was eaten by nobles, it was considered to be the best thing.

"Yes, Your Majesty is about to start a war against the Huns, and the soldiers need to recharge their batteries, so the army rations in the future will be this. You only need to eat one piece of that compressed biscuit, and you will not be hungry all day long. If you feel dizzy, just eat Drinking Xingjun powder will make you feel better."

This marching powder actually treats people's acclimatization and some marching problems in the body. Therefore, General Meng has been doubting life all the way to now liking this four-piece set of food and grass. If he could have such a thing back then, The food and grass he had already penetrated into the Huns' grasslands.

"Okay! What a good thing!" Hua Ximin couldn't be happier. If all the soldiers eat this, their morale will be greatly improved. "The Holy One is so kind! He actually uses such a good thing as food and fodder. We will do our best to help the Holy One defeat the enemy." Hun!”

Of course, before this was finished, General Meng took Hua Ximin to a car at the back and took out the contents.

There was a black leather-like thing wrapped around a kitchen knife, and there was one in each one. General Meng pulled it out with his own hands, and then the sharp blade and the luster of this new weapon made Hua Ximin's eyes light up.

He didn't even realize it was a kitchen knife.

"Is this a new weapon prepared by the Holy One?"

It's just against the Huns. This thing is too small, so I'm afraid it won't be very useful.

As a result, I heard General Meng say.

"This is the weapon shipped this time. There are 80,000 fine steel kitchen knives, which are enough to be distributed to every soldier. It will make them safer when cleaning the battlefield. If they encounter an enemy surprise attack, they will still have the opportunity to take action. ”

Ah, this... Hua Ximin was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that this was for soldiers without weapons. Such a delicate and sharp knife was actually a kitchen knife? What a pity, what a pity...

However, in a large army, there are actually very few people who can attack quickly, at most 10,000. After that, there are at least 10,000 people who are dedicated to cleaning up the battlefield. These people may die by the time None of them had weapons in their hands.

If he has these knives, he can protect himself better and may also generate new fighting power. No matter what, Hua Ximin is happy.

Soon the new rations began to be distributed. The generals and soldiers in the army were very shocked by the new four-piece ration set. Even the soldiers who had never touched weapons were actually given sharp weapons. Everyone was shocked. Be beaming.

In addition to the border city, there are other border cities like this, but in the capital, something happened.

King Anle ran away! ! !

King Anle ran away with Prince Anle, the third prince Xie Jinyang and the little princess Xie Jiao! ! !

Where did they go?

Oh... They left a message to the emperor saying they were going to the border to fight the Huns.

emperor?

The emperor was so angry that he almost went crazy. He tried to chase but failed to catch him. In the end, he was so angry that he burst into tears at the Queen Mother. Both the Queen Mother and the Queen felt distressed, but they were worried about Xie Tingzhou's safety and did not dare to say anything... …
