[Chapter 294 High Quality Dry Food]

“Besides, since we have binoculars, our scouts can see farther, so we can spot Xiliang’s cavalry in time and take precautions.” Zhong Li said at this time.

After seeing the telescope, he was very rare about this thing.

With it, they will see much farther than the Xiliang cavalry.

Chen Hu nodded in agreement, anticipating the enemy’s first opportunity, nothing more than the case.

“Well, these are all good ideas.” Zhao Xu said, “I have another idea, which is fried noodles.”

“Fried noodles!” Hearing this word, everyone looked at each other, they had never heard of this thing.

“If you want the safety of the grain road, there is another way, which is to speed up the speed of grain transportation. In the process of grain transportation, it is often necessary to bury the pot for cooking. This not only delays the timing of grain transportation, but also the location of the grain road will be exposed by cooking smoke. .” Zhao Xu said.

After thinking for a while, he continued: “In addition to food, if you want to be quick and quick to launch a surprise attack, you must also find a way to avoid burying the pot for cooking and exposing the location, and this fried noodles are easy to preserve, not perishable, and can be eaten with saliva. It’s also very easy to carry, and it’s no problem to eat for more than ten days at a time.” When

Zhao Xu said this, Chang Wei and others were even more horrified.

In fact, soldiers also bring their own dry food when marching.

Such as rice, wheat, etc., but generally only enough for three days, and these things have to be cooked.

If it is true what King Yan said.

This kind of thing is simply too powerful, and their marching speed can be greatly enhanced.

The most important thing is that the enemy sometimes judges the number of soldiers by the number of potholes.

Don’t cook, you can also provide false information to the enemy’s scouts.

Now, the only thing they wonder is what is this fried noodles?

Zhao Xu smiled mysteriously and waved to the generals.

He led them to the dining room of the big camp at Feihu Pass.

Then he called a cook and ordered him to fetch flour, bean flour, oil and salt.

Teach the chef to do it step by step, first pour the oil and heat it, then mix the flour and soybean powder together and dry fry.

After half-cooked, add salt, so until cooked through.

“Taste it.” Zhao Xu said to Chang Wei and others when the fried noodles were completely cooked.

When the chef was frying, a strong aroma wafted out.

The generals have already rolled their Adam’s apples.

With King Yan’s order, they found the bowls and chopsticks one by one and started with the fried noodles.

Chang Wei took a bite, and immediately gave a thumbs up, “Sweet.”

As he spoke, fried noodles spewed out of his mouth, and he coughed repeatedly.

He went to find water to drink again, and after swallowing it, he said: “Your Highness, this tastes really good, but it’s a bit choking if eaten dry.” The

other generals also ate with relish.

It was the first time they tasted this food, and their appetites were whetted.

After eating a bowl in a row, Chang Wei nodded again and again, “His Royal Highness is going to let the soldiers eat this for the next march, so the soldiers will be lucky.”

Zhao Xu smiled helplessly.

Chow mein is legendary in contemporary times.

During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the logistics were difficult. At that time, the dry food brought by the soldiers was replaced by fried noodles.

On the one hand, fried noodles are cooked, easy to carry, and convenient to eat.

The second is to avoid fire, which provides convenience for night marching.

Considering these advantages and facing the problem of protecting food roads, he decided to use fried noodles in this war.

Chang Wei said it was delicious, and he agreed.

After all, the ancient environment was very harsh.

Before the soldiers entered the royal palace, the situation at home was mostly difficult. It was even normal to eat bran and choked vegetables. It was really good to have this food.

The other generals also had a taste of it at this time.

Zhong Li said: “Your Highness, this dry food is good, delicious, and can be eaten directly, and the main reason is that this side can hold a lot, if it is steamed buns or pancakes, it will take up space.”

“That’s right, this king has the advantage I did.” Zhao Xu said with a smile.

Steamed buns, pancakes and the like are naturally cooked, but they take up space.

And fried noodles only need to sew a long bag like a cylinder.

Once the fried noodles were put inside, they made a circle around the neck and carried it away.

Everyone else nodded after hearing the words.

It means that it is feasible to make dry food with fried noodles.

As long as they don’t start a fire to cook, they can avoid a lot of trouble.

“In that case, the general will mobilize the soldiers to grind the wheat and fry the noodles tonight,” Chang Wei said.

Now that the war has begun, it is not too late to attack Hengshan City.

Now that there is such excellent dry food, it is natural to prepare it, even for a few days at night.

Set the matter.

On the one hand, Zhao Xu ordered the sheriff of Shanggu County to deliver salt, oil and the like to Feihu Pass.

On the one hand, people rushed to other counties to ask for sewing dry food bags.

After Chang Wei and the generals learned how to fry noodles, they organized soldiers to grind and fry noodles by themselves.

Received Zhao Xu’s order.

The county governments immediately took action.

During this time, other counties established the same system as Yan County.

The benevolent government of the palace has made the relationship between the people of Yanzhou and the government unprecedentedly friendly.

In order to complete the tasks assigned by King Yan in time, the county guards all mobilized the people in all counties to sew dry food bags.

The government government took money to buy it from the people.

Only half a month’s time.

More than 100,000 dry food bags were sent to Feihu Pass.

At this time, a large amount of fried noodles had been stockpiled in Feihu Pass.

The soldiers took dry food bags and went to the battalions to get fried noodles, which they carried on their backs.

The peasants also received their own dry food bags.

They hung two bags on the car and transported them together with the grain and grass.

During this period, the reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance of the Wangfu cavalry and Xiliang cavalry never stopped.

It seems that Xiliang was very curious at first why the army of the palace suddenly became silent and frequently approached Feihuguan to investigate.

However, as time went by, the Xiliang cavalry gradually reduced their investigations and slacked off a lot.

And this is another effect of Zhao Xu’s plan to fry noodles.

Paralyze the enemy.

At the same time, Tsui Hark is also always paying attention to Beidi’s movements, and keeps sending news.

As before, Beidi’s army still had no intention of dispatching, which made him more convinced that Beidi had the intention of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight.

“Let the soldiers and civilians sleep during the day and march in the dark today.” Zhao Xu ordered when everything was ready.

All the generals on this expedition agreed in unison.

that night.

The moon was hidden in the dark clouds, and it was extremely dark outside Feihu Pass.

After sunset, under the order of the general, the soldiers set off from Feihu Pass.

From Feihuguan to Hengshan County, there is naturally an official road. ‘

Along the official road, they moved quickly to Hengshan County.

Because during training on weekdays, running is an essential subject for soldiers to train, and running with weight is also normal, so marching quickly is not a problem for them.

However, the peasants pushed the cart very slowly, so they could only fall behind.

But the advantage of marching at night is that the night provides good cover for the peasants.

If you don’t look closely, even if the Xiliang cavalry reaches the position of 100 meters, they will not understand what they are.

Zhao Xu and Chang Wei rode among the soldiers.

It was also his first time to experience night marching. The surroundings were pitch black, and he could only see the faint reflection of the silver armor of the soldiers in front of him.

It is by relying on these faint lights that the team can move forward in an orderly manner.
