Thanks to Chen Tian's attention to the thirty-six sects in the Northern Territory, especially the repair of Hekun Gate, Yongtai City has no shortage of food and grass at all.
On the one hand, it is because Hekun Sect has a profound foundation. After the Yin family's ancestral tomb collapsed, Chentian quickly mobilized resources for rescue, leaving a lot of supplies behind.
On the other hand, after the battle at Tianzhu Peak, Shanglin Garden raised more than a hundred plant and flower fairies. They deeply nourished the earth's energy, and this season's summer grain production more than doubled.
Even though the Griffin Legion led by Yin Jiancheng took turns to carry out air strikes, the granary stored in the cave remained unscathed and could fully support the massive consumption of Yongtai City and the front line.
With a large amount of basic grains, animal husbandry can of course develop smoothly.
Qu Sijian was afraid of poverty before, so he seized the opportunity and took advantage of the sect's advantage to raise a large number of livestock. The green cattle that used to run in front of Yongtai City and Xieyue Valley were his masterpieces.
In addition, there are argali sheep, as well as a large number of mountain boars and forest deer. According to this, Qu Sijiang has suddenly transformed from a sect that only domesticated venomous snakes to a large breeding family.
To be honest, this made the elders within the sect very dissatisfied, but Chentian gave too much money, and sometimes even settled the payment directly with spiritual stones.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
This has made great progress in the animal husbandry in Yongtai City, and even ordinary people can eat meat at will.
From all the above, what was finally presented to Zhao Pingshan was a plate of meat-filled pancakes and bean paste pickled with fine salt.
As a rare good general in Linjiang City, he ate and lived with the soldiers under his command, and was well aware of the sufferings of the soldiers at the bottom.
A solid meal of meat before a battle is as good as killing an enemy general before the battle, and can also boost morale.
But now it seems to Zhao Pingshan that aside from Chen Tian's frugal style of eating the same diet as his soldiers, his subordinate Bu Qu can definitely eat meat on weekdays, with fine salted bean paste as a side dish?
You must know that the northern region of Cangxi is not adjacent to the sea, and all the salt used is drilled, which is very costly.
Ordinary people sometimes lacked food, and even had to collect plant ashes, mix them with water and sink them, just for that little bit of bitter and astringent salt.
Fine salt that is as crystal clear as snow is something I would never dare to dream about. What's more, the eight hundred Qingqi led by Chen Tian now all eat fine salt and act like they are used to it?
Zhao Pingshan was shocked, and the ordinary soldiers attending the banquet widened their eyes and couldn't believe the taste buds on their tongues.
Reground finely sifted flour?
Beef mince?
Ignoring the astonished looks from Chen Tian's subordinates, they grabbed basket after basket of meat-filled pancakes and stuffed them into their mouths.
This made the gang leader soldiers look on with surprise as they watched the soldiers from the Anvil Battalion eating haise. He lowered his head and looked at his hands and murmured: "Did my cooking skills get better? It shouldn't be! Didn't some people complain about it two days ago?
Do you only eat meat every day?”
Hearing the sound of chewing, Zhao Pingshan was embarrassed and felt a deep sense of helplessness in his heart.
During this time of mobilization of the army, the food and grass promised by the superiors have not yet arrived. Even if there is, it is only the most basic corn and very little meat.
Even because Zhanzi Camp participated in the confiscation of the property of 70,000 refugees, the supply camp from the rear had not come for two or three days. It was said that Zhanzi Camp must have hidden private property, so it was okay not to send it away.
So now when Zhanziying sees the unlimited supply of meat, of course his eyes light up and he eats with an open stomach.
"Ahem, your army has a good appetite..." Of course Chen Tian knew that it was difficult for Zhao Pingshan to step down, so he started a different topic, "This big cloak on General Zhao is really unique. It is made of fine velvet under the armpits of the Fire Fox and is worth tens of thousands of gold."
"
Zhao Pingshan was stunned, obviously not expecting that the clothes on his body were so expensive, and explained: "This is a gift from the coach Yin Jianyuan. Even if it is worthless, I will always wear it to show my trust."
While chatting, Zhao Pingshan had a lot of thoughts, and he still couldn't figure out what Chen Tian meant by greeting him before the formation.
The first time was to return the body of Yin Jiancheng, the leader of the Griffin Army. I thought he was here to provoke me, but I didn't expect that his attitude was particularly humble.
The second time, he took advantage of the refugee incident and presented the three-pointed, two-edged sword he had captured earlier. His attitude was equally relaxed, and there was no sense of urgency among the generals in front of the battle.
What exactly is he going to do?
Is it really about showing kindness to an enemy?
However, the current battle situation has become inextricable. The Yin family's spiritual weapon ship from the Northern Territory is about to arrive, and it is destined to destroy Yongtai City, leaving no room for maneuver.
With Chen Tian's wisdom, even if he didn't know the next big move of the Yin family, he would definitely know that the two sides, which were like water and fire, would not end well at all.
Then when he befriended him, he really expected him to defect in battle, right?
Zhao Pingshan thought about it and felt that Chen Tian might have intended to take the opportunity to ease the situation, show off his financial resources, and cover up the fact that Yongtai City was in dire straits, thereby achieving the goal of confusing Pingmuguan.
As soon as a thought flashed through his mind, he became more convinced of his reasoning and felt that Chen Tian's plan was all in vain.
But Zhao Pingshan didn't say anything explicitly. He just accompanied Chen Tian to drink and change cups, and didn't talk about military affairs. The conversation was all about trivial matters.
The Guxue produced from Hekunmen is very bitter and has a particularly high alcohol content. Once it enters your throat, you will have endless aftertaste.
Chen Tian poured a cup of wine and Zheng Sheng said, "The autumn air is crisp and clear. May the clouds flow in the long sky and drink with your head raised!"
"In praise of Shichang." Of course Zhao Pingshan also made wine orders, drank after speaking, and finally turned the wine glass over to show his pride.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Both of them are military leaders on one side, so it is inevitable to talk about the army, starting from daily training and talking about the choice of terrain for setting up camp. The sun's shadow slants to the west.
Chen Tian felt that Zhao Pingshan was not only proficient in the art of war, but also good at running an army. He was considered the leader of the 700,000 Yin clan's coalition forces.
No wonder Yin Jianyuan chose Zhao Pingshan to lead the charge and lead the Zhanzi Battalion to garrison the Makino Beach. Apart from the defensive capabilities of the heavily armored infantry, Yin Jianyuan also appreciated Zhao Pingshan's talents.
Talking about the happy place, Chen Tian beckoned for pen and ink, and impromptu wrote a poem. After giving it to Zhao Pingshan as a gift, he got on his horse and led the team back to Wubao.
Looking at the figure receding from the distance, Zhao Pingshan glanced at the two lines of characters drawn with silver hooks and iron, and smiled.
The sound of autumn in Makino is dark, and the sky is bright from the water.
Zhao Pingshan is the only one who can take charge of your troops.
"Brother, what does Chen Tian mean?" There was no one around, and Zhao Hongying didn't show the military etiquette. He asked doubtfully, "Isn't he trying to win over us?"
Zhao Hongying traveled across the battlefield and had seen too many bloody battles. Especially when the two armies were about to fight, it was simply the light cavalry scouts from both sides who took the lead in starting the battle, resulting in bloody blows.
Then the army followed, and they formed military formations and fought hard to separate each other. There was never any contact.
Even if there are messengers communicating, it is nothing more than negotiation, and the main theme still revolves around life and death.
But it was difficult for even Zhao Pingshan to understand Chen Tian's unusual behavior, let alone Zhao Hongying's first encounter with it.
The two discussed it for a long time, but could not find a logical relationship that fit perfectly. Instead, the more they thought about it, the more strange it became.
Finally, Zhao Hongying suddenly said: "Is there a possibility that Chen Tian's show of goodwill is just to drive a wedge between the eldest brother and Ping Muguan?"
"Elaborate." Zhao Pingshan was stunned.
He knew very well that his status in the Yin family alliance was not noble, he had no backing, and he was usually unable to get along with those mobs. If he could not protect himself, someone would take advantage of this to cause trouble. "Of course our Linjiang City Anzi camp will not give in.
Due to Chentian's power, he actually didn't do anything extraordinary." Zhao Hongying carefully analyzed, "But in the eyes of the outside world, Chentian, who has always been decisive and decisive, suddenly showed a humble attitude.
, in the eyes of outsiders..."
The words are not finished yet.
But the idea was already coming out. Zhao Pingshan called the chief clerk and asked him to record the details of the meeting with Chen Tian in detail, and handed it over to Kuai Ma for immediate transmission to Pingmuguan.
