Chapter 27 The Land of Four Battles
Wang Buxu, who was sitting on the bedside, stared blankly at a brazier not far in front of him.
The flames will be extinguished and will be far less powerful than before.
The weather in September has gradually turned cooler, but it is still far from the point of lighting a fire pot.
Maybe it’s because of lack of exercise?
Wang Buxu always feels a little cold.
Therefore, the soldiers responsible for preparing defensive logs were also responsible for preparing firewood for winter every day.
"It's so outrageous!" Wang Buxian despised himself fiercely.
He immediately took out a piece of cloth, lifted the ceramic teapot from the brazier, and poured a bowl carefully.
There is some wheat in the bowl. The main reason is that the boiled water tastes tasteless when drinking. It is difficult to make tea these days, so the wheat can only be stir-fried in a dry pot, stir-fried and soaked to drink.
The water had the slightest scent of wheat. After two bowls of water, the wheat was almost softened. He ate it directly, one wheat and two. Wang Buhun could be considered as making the greatest contribution to saving food for the army.
"Forget it, I can persist in the cold, but the main reason is that I can't drink without hot water. If I continue like this, my body will collapse!" After drinking a bowl of water, Wang Buxuan immediately changed his mind.
Thinking of hot water, Wang Buxuan thought of another thing.
Boiling water is beneficial to both men, women, and children, but large armies have always been acclimatized during expeditions.
The most typical example is the legendary Huo Qubing, who died of an illness caused by drinking contaminated water in the Hexi Corridor.
Although it is not so serious for everyone, the water source problem has always been a big problem.
Drinking boiled water can improve the problem of acclimatization to a certain extent.
Of course, this also involves factors such as environment and diet.
Wang Buxu was thinking seriously about this issue when Zhang Liang stood at the door and roared before entering directly.
"Zifang came just in time. I have been thinking about it for a long time and thought of something!" Wang Buxu looked up and said directly.
This matter has to be handled by Zhang Liang, the logistics manager.
Zhang Liang couldn't help but glance at the brazier, and said with some pain: "Save it! Now all we are chopping is war wood. If this continues, the soldiers will go to Xingyang to chop wood!"
All around Aoshan, except for the main road up the mountain which is bare, other places are densely planted with trees.
Whether it is environmentally friendly or not, at least under such terrain conditions, it is obviously unrealistic for the enemy to attack.
When it gets heated, just pour kerosene into the forest, and the fragrant barbecue will be freshly cooked.
Therefore, from the terrain point of view, Wang Buxian was able to capture Aocang because his ancestors burned eight times the incense.
"Then it will burn. I heard that in the early years, someone insisted on drinking boiled water. When his colleagues became acclimatized, he did not have any abnormalities. Later, everyone followed suit and drank boiled water. As a result, there were rarely any acclimatization problems in the future."
Wang Buxu casually made up a short story to fool him.
He didn't know whether this story happened or not, but he knew it was effective, so...
"Although we are temporarily staying in Aoshan, this is not a long-term solution after all. One day, we will have to go on an expedition. Non-war attrition should be avoided as much as possible. Who is not the treasure of our parents? We can't waste it like this.
Please arrange the life and ovary, and from now on, we should make everyone develop the habit of drinking boiled water."
Zhang Liang looked at Wang Buhung speechlessly, and thought to himself that everyone should drink hot water. If they did, everyone would not be able to eat hot meals.
The entire logistics was in a mess, and Zhang Liang spent a lot of effort to straighten it out.
And he's not like Wang Buxu, who has no idea where he goes. No matter what he does, he has to have a plan.
Firewood is also a necessary item for war preparation. Otherwise, what if there are wounded soldiers in winter? If you don't light a few braziers, are you going to watch them freeze to death?
When the weather gets colder, the barracks also have fire pots, which consume a lot of money.
If you don't store it early, will you use it to burn the grain as firewood when it's needed?
"King Chen has sent an envoy, and he is waiting at the Cang Ling Mansion!" Zhang Liang did not pay any attention to Wang Buhung, but directly expressed his intention.
"How does the ovary look?" Wang Buxian asked subconsciously.
"Aocang is too dazzling, but the plan made by the young master is relatively conservative. It is almost foreseeable that this will not be the last time!" Zhang Liang pointed out the problem sharply.
In other words, although your king is not hungry, he has five or six thousand elite soldiers, but that is only five or six thousand people.
How many people does Chen Sheng have?
The army alone is hundreds of thousands. Where are the other princes?
Whoever starts a business is not crazy about expanding his power?
The Xiang family of Chu State also gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
A large army with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people doesn't have a good place like Aocang. Why do you, thousands of people, occupy this place and don't let go?
"Hey! Xingyang, the place where the Four Battles took place!" Wang Buxu shook his head speechlessly.
The quality of the troops is only one of them. Is it really that easy to get Xingyang?
Chen Sheng is going to be in trouble this time, even if he helps him, he will still be in trouble.
Do you really think Zhang Han’s 600,000-strong army is a joke?
Even if they were to compete with the number of people, they would be crushed directly.
"Do you still think the Qin army will counterattack?" Zhang Liang frowned. He really couldn't figure out where the Qin army's strength came from?
"It's not that I will, but I will definitely!" Wang Buxian nodded with certainty.
He hasn't really been idle during these days. Although he seems to be fine, Wang Buxuan has been thinking about a problem.
What should be done to ensure that they can survive when Zhang Han's army arrives next.
"Let's go and meet with Chen Sheng's special envoy!" Wang Buxing had a rough plan, but he had to solve the problem before him first.
Chen Sheng's sending of a special envoy was definitely not a sign of goodwill.
Chen Sheng, who is at the height of his power, does not need to show his kindness to anyone now. He can foresee with his eyes closed that the purpose of this trip is very strong.
When he came to Cangling Mansion and saw the 'special envoy' sitting there like the king of heaven, Wang Buxu couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.
This special envoy is too young, is he twenty years old?
Of course, Wang Buxian doesn't care whether he is old or not.
But the young man in front of him gave the impression that he was like a nouveau riche. His whole body was made of extremely luxurious silk, and even the boots he wore under his feet were made of unknown leather.
Those who didn't know thought he was the son of a powerful family in the Qin Dynasty.
