In fact, if the system restricts this mission and subsequent stages, it only limits the number of Han troops led by Ban Chao to 36.
Frankly speaking, Hu Biao and the others were not very worried about this expected situation.
The question is whether the series of layout operations carried out by Yang Dongli and his group of ten people currently staying in the Western Region will also be restricted by the system. Have they been affected?
These situations made them very worried.
Damn it! If it doesn't work, they have invested so much before, and they will suffer a huge loss.
But the distance between the two parties is now more than a thousand miles. For a moment, they want to contact each other to understand the specific situation, but there is no way.
I can only pray silently that everything goes well for Lao Yang and others.
As for the reason why Hu Biao and others started to take action and set up a small kitchen to get busy, to put it bluntly, it was because they had something to ask for.
Specifically, I want to find some mid-level and senior officers in Dou Gu's army.
I plan to ask them for advice on how to lead in ancient wars, including various techniques on how to conduct more effective command under gunpoint during large-scale battles, marches, formations, battles, etc.
After all, in the modern dimension, although the idea of consultation is developed.
Many ancient secret book-like methods of war can be easily searched on the Internet with a little time and thought in the modern world, and then some self-study can be carried out.
But this kind of self-study is like teaching from a veteran.
The actual effect between the two is still very different.
So in the recent period, Hu Biao and others, who had been idle in the army, planned to ask officers at various stages from camp commander to captain to learn relevant command skills.
It can be regarded as a systematic study, from a village commander commanding a hundred people to a school captain commanding two thousand people.
What kind of command should be conducted under different situations and troop strength?
Hu Biao and the others still have some skills. They know that if they ask about this thing rashly, it will probably be useless; it may even offend people and cause misunderstanding.
Because almost all current generals, masters, and fierce generals not only regard martial arts and martial arts as family heirlooms, but this kind of leadership method is also a secret heirloom skill.
If you ask them casually, no one will pay attention to them.
Fortunately, Hu Biao and the others are better at solving situations like this, which is nothing more than bringing the relationship between the two parties closer first, and then using more tactful means to get the knowledge they want.
And how? In order to quickly promote the relationship between the two parties.
Of course, it's about eating and drinking. Even in the modern world where supplies are abundant, a cannibal has a short mouth, and he has to treat people to a meal before asking them to do things.
What's more, in the Eastern Han Dynasty when productivity was underdeveloped.
You should know that there were two main types of dry food in the Han Dynasty army, which were called meal and embarrassment.
In fact, grains such as rice, wheat, sorghum, etc. are fried and then mashed to make it easier to carry. It is similar to fried rice and noodles in later generations. When eating, just grab a handful and drink it directly with hot water.
After Hu Biao had eaten it once, he had no intention of eating it a second time.
Of course, the above-mentioned dry foods are dry foods that are only consumed during long-term battles. When normally stationed, "wheat rice" is generally eaten.
In fact, this stuff is fried pancakes made from wheat and other whole grains.
At the same time, it is paired with some salty tofu drum, pickles, etc. The taste is stronger than just rice flour and embarrassment, but to be honest, the strength is quite limited.
If you are a lieutenant general in the army, your salary will be a little better than these, but it is still far less than that of your migrant worker brothers in the modern dimension.
Therefore, when Hu Biao and others prepare food regardless of cost, it is surprisingly attractive to them.
Drinking is not allowed in the army? A little thing, fresh grapes, fresh juice squeezed from pomegranates, and a little ice cubes made of saltpeter.
Isn't it better to take a sip in the hot summer than to drink the rice wine of this year?
After Hu Biao and others threw out a few glass beads in small quantities, the money exchanged allowed them to not have to worry about purchasing various white noodles, meat and vegetables for a long time.
So when the generals and generals in the army, who were eating every day, heard that someone was inviting them to eat and drink, there was no reason not to come.
The iron pot for cooking did not come into being until the Northern Song Dynasty, more than 900 years later.
Even though the skills of Hu Biao and others are only at the level of making some home-cooked dishes, with the help of iron pot dishes and various condiments, the food they can make is probably better than the current imperial chef.
It was the first meal of a large plate of chicken and haggis soup, and all the army lieutenants and generals became addicted.
The kind that makes you feel uncomfortable all over if you don't come to whoring once or twice a day.
No! As soon as noon arrived today, there were hundreds of military officers, ranging from captains to village commanders. The middle and high-level officers of the Han Dynasty appeared here.
After they Shi Shiran appeared, they first said hello to Brother Yitong.
Just hold the big bowl, let go of your belly, and start eating and drinking.
Good guy! An earthen bowl the size of a human head, filled to the brim with noodles rolled by hand, thick bone soup, and a layer of oily jelly.
Do you believe that these big-bellied men can finish at least three bowls per person?
After eating and drinking, it is natural to start the after-dinner activities.
Of course, now that he is in the army, even if Hu Biao is brave, he would not dare to invite these people to play mahjong, fight against landlords or other entertainment activities.
Instead, a sandbox was moved out, with their group of netizens as one side, and the other Han troops as one side.
After setting some troop strength data, the two sides used modern sand table deduction methods to start fighting with each other.
It can be regarded as a more tactful and objective way to ask these people for advice.
Therefore, even though Hu Biao and the others took turns fighting each other, without the advantages of modern armor, weapons and other equipment, they were beaten by the opponent every time in the upright deduction.
However, combined with some theoretical knowledge learned in modern times, the relevant command level has indeed been greatly improved.
Anyway, with every deduction now, they can last longer and longer, and the losses they cause to their opponents are getting bigger and bigger.
If they continue to develop in this way, I'm afraid it won't take too long before they can win one of several games.
In the actual battle, taking into account some of their cool operations and their equipment advantages.
The specific battle results and winning rate will definitely be higher.
What Hu Biao and the others didn't know was that when he faced off against a forty-year-old captain, the two of them fought in darkness, with many voices around them shouting out ideas. It was an extremely lively moment.
Dou Gu, who had just finished eating the steamed noodles they had given him, quietly came outside the tent.
Originally, this big shot wanted to see why the food cooked by that kind of cooking utensil called an iron pot was so delicious on a whim.
I never expected that I would find such a huge surprise.
Because after taking a look at the sand table from a distance, the big man's general immediately reacted.
This kind of thing called a sand table is like a child's plaything. If used properly, it is no less effective than those stirrups and horseshoes.
With a huge surprise, Dou Gu drank in his mouth: "Hu Junhou, why don't you let Dou fight with you?"
But what even Dou Gu didn't know was that this was only a small amount of things that Hu Biao and others could produce.
Speaking of which! In fact, Hu Biao and the others are also in a bit of a dilemma. As modern people, there are too many things they can come up with.
Basically, every one of them can contribute more or less to making the current man stronger.
The key is that many things cannot be taken out.
There is too much uncertainty in history. For example, if they come up with the original model of the steam engine, or the design drawings, who will end up being advantageous...
