A strong body has always been the only magic weapon to adapt to harsh environments.?
This is the reason why Li Po persuaded Li Bi. Only a strong body can remain invincible in such a long-distance expedition.
Of course, Li Po would not tell Li Bi that when escaping, he would need more physical strength, so to hell with those guys who only think about merit and glory.
When the time comes, anyone who does not take this campaign seriously will pay a heavy price.
However, high-intensity physical training always requires adequate nutrition to support it.
In a few days, when time entered September of the seventh year of Daye, it was Li Po's turn to have a headache.
Because the food is getting worse and worse.
You can still see some beef and mutton, but that happens every now and then, and meat gradually disappears from the soldiers' menus.
What I eat the most is corn rice with pickles.
This is a direct result of the army gathering in greater numbers, but it is not surprising that this is the food most commonly enjoyed by the soldiers of the Sui army on expeditions.
And this is where the strength of the Central Plains dynasty lies. Corn can supply a larger army.
This is not the case for the grassland tribes in the north, so their armies never reach a certain number, and their population is also restricted.
However, Li Po is not satisfied now.?
Corn rice? No matter how fat a man is, he will lose weight if he eats this all the time. The weight loss effect is very good.
Especially after a lot of exercise, it is very easy to get hungry. This is okay as long as there is enough corn, but the food for each army is rationed.
Every time, they are delivered according to the number of people in each Dark Moon department, and they are all eaten in advance?
The commander-in-chief of the army will be punished by military law, and the soldiers will not be hungry, but they will definitely be hungry and full.
If this goes through, the prestige of the chief military officer will probably be gone.
Therefore, the matter of food and grass has always been a top priority in the army and cannot be ignored in the slightest.
Most of the rebellions in the army originated from this.
But we can't let the soldiers stuff their stomachs full of corn and sweat profusely in the cold weather. In that case, half of the soldiers in the camp will fall in a few days. At that time, there will be a mutiny.
Not far away.
Of course, when corn became the staple food, within two days, there was no need to fool Li Bi. He took a few people out and walked around twice, and found the place where the cattle and sheep were slaughtered.
This place is very well guarded. If you want to get some meat from here, you have to ask the guards of Yingyang Mansion if they agree.
This is a large slaughterhouse temporarily set up in Zhuo County. This place is easy to find, and there must be such a place, and there will be more than one. Li Po is very sure of this, because not everyone can
Anyone who can swallow corn is neither an emperor nor a nobleman. And he found it easily.
And this was actually a royal slaughterhouse. The meat was first supplied to the Linshuo Palace, then to the important ministers of the court, the general's palace, etc., and then to some military generals.
Some children from prominent families would come to visit Qiufeng from time to time. Of course, this would depend on their relationship with Yingyang Mansion.
Meat, now in Zhuo County, is definitely worth its weight in gold.
Not to mention Li Po, even if Li Bi came, it would still be okay to bring back some leftovers once or twice. If you do it too many times, you would still be looked down upon, because there are more wolves and less meat, so you have no share at all.
However, the requirements are different, and the difficulty is also different.
Haggis are not welcome wherever they go.
Therefore, there are many dogs and even some ferocious beasts raised in the slaughtering place. Each of them is fat and strong. The ones who eat the offal are called happy. When they are fattened, they become another person's meal.
This slaughterhouse is run like this. It can be seen that there is no shortage of talents from all walks of life wherever they go.
After finding a place, it was easy to say. Li Po repeated his old tricks and first made friends with several soldiers of Yingyang Mansion.
His pure Kansai accent once again became his weapon.
There are too many big shots in Zhuo County now. The soldiers of Yingyang Mansion have eyes that almost grow to their heads, but they will not offend others easily.
Li Po came diligently a few times and was able to talk to the two leading soldiers.
After giving him another can of Youzhou grain and wine, the two soldiers introduced him to two more minor officials.
At this time, Li Po directly took out the money, exchanged a lot of sewage from here, pulled it with a carriage, and returned to the camp.
This is a long-term business, so Chen Sanlang is left here to help others guard the door, and other rough and heavy work is taken care of.
Now my mouth is quite sweet, but a bit nagging. I just want to make the best use of it, and it can also save one mouth in the camp to eat. At the same time, I can retain the favor here. Don't wait a few days, the people here will change, and I will have to
Try it again.
Easily solved the problem of eating.
For Li Po, this was not a big deal.
After working hard to get out of the Mayi refugee camp, it is estimated that not only him, but also Li Chun will have enough to eat wherever he goes.
The steaming haggis came out of the pot, and although it made the entire camp smell less wonderful, it quickly conquered the appetites of these rough men within a few days.
Li Biqiao had been in love for two days, pretending to be a member of a noble family and unwilling to talk.
But in the end I couldn't help it and tasted it secretly.
It was certain that it didn't taste very good, but as her stomach became less and less fat, she quickly fell in love with this kind of food and threw her reserve out of the sky.
Every time she ate, she had to have a big bowl full, so she abandoned the corn rice like old shoes. She could only eat it with offal soup.
During the winter months of the seventh year of Daye, all the other armies in Zhuo County were having a hard time. Only the officers and soldiers of the Sui army from Mayi had red faces, sharp ears and eyes, and their bodies were getting stronger and stronger.
The saved corn was generously donated by Li Bi to several military camps nearby.
The icing on the cake is never as easy to appreciate as the help in times of need.
When the time entered October, the reputation of the Mayi Sui Army in the Zuohou Wei Mansion was very positive.
Several generals who had received benefits came to express their thanks.
In fact, for a long time, the surrounding military camps were so smoked that they wanted to stay as far away from the Mayi people as possible.
Nowadays, people are short-tongued, but they can only offer smiling faces.
Of course, when talking, he even mentioned it jokingly, with the intention of exploring the secret, but Li Bi was confused by it.
Eating those dirty things, even though they tasted delicious when they were eaten, and the taste got better and better as time went by, it still made her feel a little embarrassed.
Furthermore, this can also be said to be the only one owned by the Mayi and Sui armies. It is fine to say that it is a military secret. How can it be taught to others so easily?
If Duan Wenzhen, the Zuohouwei general, asked him about this in person, he would be able to explain it properly. The others do not have that status or friendship.
For Li Po, haggis is truly the most important thing.
