Chapter 518: This king is so poor
Clang clang clang clang... The cooks skillfully flipped the shovels, and waves of white smoke rose from the big pot. The soldiers behind them were carrying buckets of rice and millet. A group of soldiers urged them impatiently from time to time, "The King of Yan has always said that before the troops move, food and grass go first. Can you hurry up? Are you trying your best to make us hungry?"
"Why are you arguing? This big shovel is heavier than your spear. I will cook for a whole day and I will never be more idle than you." The cooks who rotated the big shovel also did not indulge in the urging soldiers.
"You don't think you're too fat. You'll definitely steal a lot. If you do this, we'll report to Wuwei and ask you to clean the toilet." The urging soldiers were unhappy when they heard this, and they acted to report to Wuwei.
The entire Youzhou army was eating, and they were all lively. Why did people live? Isn’t it just for the sake of eating? Today, there were a few uninvited guests in the military camp. Sima Ji brought a group of confidant generals and schoolmen to the soldiers to eat and drink freely. Wherever they passed, a large number of soldiers would kneel down. Sima Ji waved his hand and signaled that there was no need to be too polite, and said to the confidants behind him, "I have always felt that the real strength will definitely be reflected through the food of the soldiers. If you put the soldiers’ hungry chests on the back, can this thing fight? The 20 prefectures of the Jin Dynasty can make a hundred thousand troops have enough food. Only I can eat well, but Sima Yong cannot do it."
"Eat slowly, I have some food for you to eat, what you eat, what I eat. When I eat, go to the battle to kill the enemy! I will go to war with you." Sima Ji shouted to the many soldiers holding their jobs.
"Don't worry, the villain has long wanted to teach those rebels a lesson. The King of Yan is invincible and we are not afraid of anything." After a compliment, it caused a clamor of soldiers, and everyone was ready to go, as if they were looking forward to the war immediately.
"When it is useful, you are my soldiers. Let's have dinner first. Let me go to another place to see?" Sima Ji smiled, and followed a group of tails toward another camp with his rice bowl.
The camp of the Jin Guard cavalry is another kind of scene. This is because the time of dinner at the Jin Guards is different. The main force of the Yan King naturally shows the difference with ordinary troops. Many Jin Guards are taking out thick armor from the camp tent. It is not half-body armor, but the half-body armor of the Jin Guards has always been worn, but they are wearing black cloaks outside and are not allowed to be seen by others.
"King Yan!" Jin Wei, who was holding the vest, had a sharp eye. He suddenly saw a group of generals coming over. The leader was not Sima Ji, who was the one who was the one who was in charge. He quickly saluted with his fist. It was indeed difficult to kneel down every day in plate armor. Sima Ji asked Jin Wei to treat him with the manners of Hu people. The Jin Wei cavalry could not kneel down when he saw anyone, including himself.
"I just take a look. Are you busy with your armor?" Sima Ji nodded, and naturally pulled a few bites of food into his mouth, and asked with a burp comfortably, "Qian Guards commander Qian Ming, let him come to see me. Forget it, Cao Qian, go and find someone."
Sima Ji pointed at the commander of the Dragon Crown Camp behind him and asked Cao Qian to go there personally. Sima Ji signaled the Jin Guard cavalry in front of him to continue to be busy. He followed behind to see how the stable was in the situation?
If he, the King of Yan, had to say that soldiers are important or war horses are important, he could only say that war horses are important, just as the food cost of police dogs is higher than that of police officers, and it is not disrespectful to the soldiers of the army. This is the case.
For this reason, he condescended the nobles and made friends with a horse-trading merchant. He felt that the Mongolian horses had to carry the cavalry he imagined were still not as powerful as he gave him a million horses and would definitely be able to choose from them and use them with tens of thousands of magical horses. However, this efficiency was too low, so could the fact that the fact could lead the blood horses to his own jurisdiction.
The effect is very obvious. It is indeed more than the Xianbei war horses and gods. That is, the richest man in the Jin Dynasty can withstand the investment for many years, and it will be over if he changes ordinary people.
Being stared at by a vassal king like this will cause great psychological pressure. The Jin Guard cavalry in front of him pulled the vest to the stable and found his mount cover. The vest looked extremely thick and had a rope hole through the horse's belly to fix the entire vest. It covered it from the horse's head, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and the huge butt of the war horse was also exhausted. The design should not be too oppressive to the horse.
Almost all the war horses in the entire stable have been put on vests. In fact, this vest is much heavier than the plate armor on the Jin Guard. There are two obvious positions below the stirrup, which are left for the cavalry's legs, and the stirrup is also inside the vest.
Sima Ji felt that the Western plate armor itself was too inconvenient. In order to reduce the burden on the war horse, he thought that human life was not as valuable as the life of a horse, so he reduced the protection of the rider. The subsequent remedy was to find a way to make the rider and the war horse become one. There were some minor shortcomings, which was equivalent to tying the rider to the war horse. If the war horse died, the rider would probably be very difficult.
Because the Jin Guard only has half-body armor, once the war horse is killed and dies and does not come down in time, I hope that the owner of the war horse's thighs are hard enough to withstand the weight of the war horse falling down and not breaking. But this is the way that King Yan felt that after experimenting, he felt that the best balance of the war horse and the Jin Guard's physical strength. Since ancient times, people in China have lived a worthless life, and the risks have been borne by people.
"King Yan, come to me!" Qian Ming, who followed Cao Qian, panting and trotting all the way, finally arrived in front of Sima Ji.
Sima Ji knocked on the other party's black cloak behind him, making a clanging sound, nodding in satisfaction, and said indifferently, "Although the Dragon Cruise Camp has higher protection, it lacks impact. Besides, it has already appeared during the Battle of Bingzhou, and is heading south to face Wang Jun. He will definitely remind Sima Yong that this battle is the king who has high hopes for the Jin Guard. If you can defeat the army in Yecheng, Sima Yong will die without a place to bury him."
"The last general must lead the cavalry of Jin Guards to step the army of Yecheng into meat paste." Qian Ming patted his chest and made a crisp sound.
"I hope you are worthy of my years of hard work and the expenses to support you are much more than the original 30,000 Youzhou border troops. I am so poor!" Sima Ji sighed long and at the current speed, if the war lasts for more than fifteen years, he will have no money.
"King of Yan, the secret spies of Jin Guard have a secret letter to report!" If you can find where the King of Yan is among the more than 100,000 troops, it has to be said that Wu Guard still has two tricks and directly submits two secret letters.
Sima Ji opened the two secret letters and read them at a glance. He laughed out loud, "The emperor has already abolished Sima Yong's position as the Grand Marshal and immediately inform the entire army of the news. In the second letter, Sima Yong has decided to go north to compete with me. He really dares to leave Yecheng and pass the orders of my generals. Tomorrow morning, we will set up camp and go south, and the troops will be divided into three routes and five miles apart, twenty miles apart from the canal, and we will go south together, and we will advance to Yecheng in water and land."
