Chen Xi was holding a large claw that was one foot long. He had to admit that there were really not many wild animals in ancient times. Although it was really shocking that the crabs grew to be as big as a compass, the taste of the meat was still very good.
"It's not bad to rely on mountains to eat mountains and water to drink water. If Yuan Shao doesn't come today, we will continue to eat meat and vegetables in the afternoon, and eat chicken and fish. In exchange, didn't we bring a lot of Donglai fish?" Chen Xi said.
The eaten crabs were put together into a complete shell and he said with a smile.
When I went to the river in the morning, I was almost attacked by this thing, but now it has become a plate of food. Regardless of the size, there are no pesticides or hormones at this time. Even if it is a monster, Chen Xi estimates that it is a natural and pollution-free mountain delicacy. Although
Not much seasoning.
"It can't afford to eat a few meals for the tens of thousands of people stationed here." Lu Su said angrily, throwing away the crab tongs in his hand, and directly smashed the shell that Chen Xi had managed to put together.
Fragmentary.
"This can be regarded as stimulating consumption. With hundreds of thousands of catties of fish, Donglai has made a lot of money." Chen Xi looked at the crabs that were beaten into pieces, and he was obviously a little depressed.
"It's just from the left pocket to the right pocket." Jia Xu pinched a fish bone and shaved the meat from the crab leg, "How do you make money?"
"You don't understand, money only counts when it circulates. Just like the current way of doing things, we actually have a lot more money, so making the process more complicated can make a lot of people rich."
Chen Xi smiled and said that he had nothing to say about Jia Xu's ideas. Not many people present could understand what he said, and only Lu Su was willing to understand.
"Zichuan, the scouts are here to report that Yuan Shaojun has made some changes." At this moment, Liu Bei opened the tent door and suddenly walked in.
"Huh? Didn't you say that the pontoon bridge hasn't been erected yet?" Chen Xi asked in confusion, "They are doing morning exercises now?"
"I'm not that free. I'm afraid Yuan Shao has already built the pontoon bridge since last night." Jia Xu frowned and said.
"If it was built so quickly, it can only be because Yuan Shao didn't have any cover or precautions at all. He was so anxious for just a moment that he even risked his life. How is that possible?" Chen Xi asked in disbelief, "How about we send scouts first?
How about increasing the scope of exploration?”
"No need, I'm afraid Yuan Shao built the pontoon bridge outside our exploration range. This is the only way to explain it." Lu Su waved his hand, "Get ready to fight. The cavalry is really a good thing, and its mobility is really strong."
"Huh?" Chen Xi touched his forehead. For them, the scout detection range is fifty miles. To be honest, it is already very large. But for the other side, if it is even necessary, they can quickly move people to a hundred miles.
Besides war horses, pack horses are also more trouble-free than people.
"That's the only possibility. Yuan Shao is indeed bold. He is not afraid that we will suddenly expand the scope of our investigation. If we are exposed in that way, the pontoon and the craftsmen will probably be ruined." Guo Jia nodded and said curiously, "And once we succeed,
Once, we will be more defensive in the future, he really dares to bet!"
"Unfortunately, the other party seems to have succeeded, and as you said, once we are discovered, the defense will be tighter. I think under such circumstances, it is more reasonable to take a gamble." Jia Xu opened.
He said with his gloomy wooden fan, hiding his sneer.
"Forget it, let's wait for work. Anyway, we are definitely not as fast as the other side. Even if we rush over now, the other side will probably have successfully crossed the river, so it saves us some trouble." Chen Xi yawned and said, "Since we can't stop it, we can rely on our own strength.
Force speaks for itself, Duke Xuande depends on you."
After saying this, Liu Bei naturally understood everything. Yuan Shao set off first and relied on a four-legged horse. He was definitely not as fast as the opponent. Even if he rushed over to death, he would have no fighting power.
Even if there are pack horses on the opposite side, they rush all the way there, but the horses can't run, and the people can still fight. Besides, the pack horses must be infantry, and they are definitely full of energy when they come over. Instead of this, it is better to prepare the army for battle as Chen Xi said.
It can also retain more combat effectiveness.
"Be prepared. The first wave coming over from the other side is definitely not an ordinary army. Let's see if we can swallow them up." Lu Su said with a smile on his face. He had already begun to make preparations. The humidity along the entire Yellow River had already
It has risen significantly, just wait for his move.
"I will definitely do it." Chen Xi said with a wink. He had already begun to divert water vapor from the Yellow River and continued to increase the air humidity. Soon the air humidity exceeded 80%.
"Don't raise it any higher, it will attract people's attention. It's already very high now, and it even feels a little wet." Guo Jia said, lifting his sleeves.
"I'm already prepared. When the time comes, I will increase the humidity of the army on the opposite side to a better level. Zijing will rely on you then." Chen Xi turned his head and said, "Wenhe, remember to dry our side.
Some, so that Zijing’s destructive power won’t be too high on our side.”
"Then it's up to me to hook up with the army." Guo Jia continued to shake his wide sleeves, already feeling a little wet.
"Leave it to you." Chen Xi patted Guo Jia on the shoulder and said, he was very relieved about Guo Jia.
After quickly distributing their respective military affairs, they then passed them on to their adjutants. Liu Bei then passed the affairs on to the military attachés, and then to the various tribes, and then the military commanders passed them on to the centurions.
Soon everyone in Liu Bei's army, which was mostly veterans, received the order of Yuan Shao's imminent attack. Then the group of veterans who started preparing after dinner pouted their lips as if they had known it would be like this.
They each put on their leather armor, then tied the hand-made breast goggles to their chests when they returned home to farm, took their weapons, and naturally gathered together with their comrades.
Afterwards, this group of veterans squatted together casually. This group of veterans who had participated in too many wars all had their own instinctive habits and adjustment methods for war.
Just like the veterans now have no fear or panic and are calmly waiting for the war to come. As for the recruits, although they squat with the veterans because of the veterans' calm performance, they are always a little uncoordinated.
"Report, Yuan Shao's army has been found fifty miles away!" The ordering soldiers rode fast horses to attack the military camp.
Although only the veterans close to the camp saw this scene, after they stood up, a chain reaction soon occurred throughout the entire military camp.
All the soldiers quickly gathered into a team, a unit, a song, and a group. The last legions were integrated before Liu Bei gave the order. The concept of collective has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the veterans.
