Chapter 0992 not staying for a thousand miles(1/3)
As soon as General Guan left, Governor Feng led the soldiers returning from the north to Wuyuan County and took over the camp.
"Where's Ke Bineng?"
As soon as Feng Jishi got off his horse, he immediately asked Liu Liang who greeted him.
Liu Liang, who stayed behind in the camp, relaxed his tense nerves when he saw the familiar face of Governor Feng.
Although people have been sending him information about Ke Bineng, he does not feel safe because General Guan is not around.
I was afraid that Kebi could take advantage of this gap and suddenly appear and burn down the camp.
"The news from the east is that Kebineng's men and horses have been gathered and are coming east."
"According to the information given to me by some old friends, at the current speed, if it is the fastest, it will arrive tomorrow, and if it is the slowest, it will not be more than the day after tomorrow. Kebineng will arrive in Wuyuan County."
Liu Hanzi finished speaking in one breath and couldn't help but wipe the sweat on his face.
It was too hot and he was too excited, so Mr. Liu was sweating a little.
When Governor Feng heard this, he smiled:
"You seem to have quite a lot of old friends."
Liu Hanzi laughed dryly:
"It's all thanks to the Lord..."
This sentence is a subconscious truth.
After traveling all over the world for so many years, Liu Liang has finally seen the world's human nature.
So he understood one thing: without the resources of the Xinghanhui system, there would be no Liu Hanzi in this world.
The so-called hero takes advantage of the situation. This sentence only tells half of the truth, or in other words, it deliberately conceals half of the content.
That is, before you can take advantage of the situation and become a hero, you must first have money, food, and people.
Of course, it would be better if there are some unique resources that others do not have.
Those who don’t have these things, but still think they can be heroes, will either be severely beaten by society until they recognize the reality.
Or most likely he would become a ranger.
If you can't even become a knight-errant, you are a green-skinned scoundrel.
On the contrary, with enough resources and a little bit of luck, it is easier to become a hero than others.
For example, Zhang Yuan is now following Feng Junhou like a shadow.
Logically speaking, when a son of such a pale head joins the army, he will basically rush to the front and die.
Unless you are lucky enough to have a narrow escape, it is possible to get a small chance of advancement.
How is it like now, when he is the chief senior brother of the students in the martial arts hall, and he is also promoted by Governor Feng.
Now he is the Sima of the Liangzhou Army, responsible for supervising the various camps in Liangzhou.
How many people who were more talented than him died in obscurity on the battlefield because they did not have the resources of a martial arts school or became a student of Feng Prefect.
When others were picking up the bodies, they didn’t even know their names...
Another example is Ke Bineng. In addition to Feng Junhou, he became the overlord of the grassland from Xiaozhong Xianbei. Is he heroic enough?
However, he did not follow the general trend and did not have enough resources to fight against the Liangzhou Army.
So Liu Liang believed that he would be a dead man soon.
But Governor Feng took Liu Hanzi's words as politeness. He smiled, then turned around and ordered:
"Zhang Yuan, you take the people from the staff department to arrange for the camps to be set up. Tufa Kheli, you are responsible for the security around the camp, especially the east side, and see if you can find out any news about Ke Bineng."
Then he said to Liu Liang:
"Come on, take me to see the supplies."
"Your Majesty, please come this way."
Originally, there was a heavily guarded place next to the commanding tent in the camp. A trench was dug around it to form an independent stronghold.
General Guan led the army away, and the camp suddenly became empty. Only this small village was still guarded by soldiers.
Liu Langjun led Feng Junhou into the small village and came to a tent.
Lifting up the linoleum covering, there were all jars wrapped in straw ropes.
Governor Feng picked up a jar at random, cut the straw rope with his dagger, and then cut open the oilcloth at the mouth of the jar.
Under the oilcloth, there is wax mud that seals the mouth of the jar. If you peel away the wax mud, there is another layer of oilcloth. Open the oilcloth, reach in, and take out a piece of dry food.
Put it in your mouth and took a bite.
"Click"!
A bit of powder splashed out from his mouth, and the sweetness of brown sugar with a fishy milky taste immediately filled his mouth, making Feng Jishi frown.
It tastes really bad!
I chewed it, worked hard to salivate, and soaked the powder in my mouth before I could swallow it.
It was much tastier than the early dry military rations of later generations.
But this is already the highest-grade toffee dry food for the Liangzhou Army.
What can be compared to it is special jerky.
Liu Liang had been in Yinshan for so long that he built a warehouse in Gaoque to store goods in the name of the caravan.
But few people know that the real function of the warehouse is to reserve materials for making dry food for the Liangzhou Army in advance.
After the army set up camp in Wuyuan County, all the inventory in the warehouse was naturally moved over.
During the more than a month that General Guan was stationed in Wuyuan County, he spent most of his time making dry food.
Feng Yong threw the jar to Zhao Guang behind him.
Zhao Guang reached in eagerly, took out a piece, opened his mouth and bit it, and most of it was gone.
Everyone is on the road these days, so the dry food they often eat is a powder that is mixed with soy flour and flour in proportion, added with oil and salt in advance.
There's no way that thing can compare with something as good as this.
No, Zhao Guang ate so quickly that he started to choke and rolled his eyes.
"General Guan took half of it away before he left."
Liu Liang explained, "The remaining half is reserved for the princes."
As he spoke, he took out a letter from his arms, "General Guan also left a letter for the prince."
Governor Feng opened the letter and took a look at it. There were only two lines written on it:
I'm waiting for you in front, but you should also be careful.
The calligraphy is made of iron and painted with silver hooks, so strong yet soft that Feng the Governor felt inferior to him.
"Xu You!"
Logistics consultant Xu You, who was nibbling toffee dry food, quickly closed his eyes and swallowed hard, causing his throat to hurt.
"The end is here!"
"We will do an inventory and assign them to each battalion when the time comes."
"promise."
Put it in the jar to extend the shelf life.
In order to make it easier to carry during emergency marches, basically it can only be wrapped in oilcloth and kept as dry as possible.
Seeing that he was well prepared, Governor Feng could finally relax.
After being on the road for days in a hurry, even Governor Feng, who was used to military life, felt his body was a little overwhelmed.
After making sure that all the camps were set up, I had a good sleep in the commander's tent left by General Guan.
It wasn't until the sun was high on the second day that I got up. I felt refreshed and drank a bowl of milk tea, two large bowls of broth, and ate three meat buns, which made me feel full.
Bald-faced Khotan Li, who had been waiting for a long time, came over quickly to report the situation after learning that Feng Jishi had risen:
"Your Majesty, Ke Bineng's front army was discovered a hundred miles away."
"Oh, he came very quickly." Thinking of what Liu Liang said yesterday, Governor Feng smiled, "It seems that he came here as quickly as possible."
"Let the army distribute some meat to the Yicong Huqi so that they can eat enough. They will fight in the front line in this battle."
"promise!"
The reason why nomadic people are difficult to deal with is that they have no fixed location and live in pursuit of water and grass.
In the vast desert, you must first fight against nature and identify the direction.
Then we will fight with logistics to ensure the food and grass for the soldiers.
The last step is to fight against the barbarians in the grasslands. Not only must we be able to defeat them, but we must also be able to outrun them.
In the several battles between the Han Dynasty and the Huns, the number of war horses dispatched was often tens of thousands, which ensured the mobility of the Han army.
At the same time, the victory in every battle was either to find the main force of the Huns and to defeat them.
Or find the Huns' royal court and destroy it.
A general like Li Guang who always gets lost or misses the mark every time he leads his army to fight against the Xiongnu is a typical general who excels in internal operations but is an amateur in external operations.
Naturally, Governor Feng would not learn from him.
Just to explore the route, Governor Feng spent three years preparing.
Furthermore, the cavalry strength in his hands now is not only at least two levels ahead of Xianbei.
