Chapter 34: Aiqing, what do you think? Meng Ao: I'm really fragrant! (Ask for a monthly ticket)
"Come on, come on!"
Accompanying these words were extremely brisk footsteps that you couldn't hear unless you listened carefully. This was a nimble fat man. He was 1.9 meters tall but weighed a full three hundred kilograms.
His name is Zeng Fei, and he is Ying Zheng's imperial chef. He is responsible for making various new foods, including Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, stir-fry dishes, cold salads and various soup pots. They are all the result of continuous experiments by him and many cooks.
Many of the recipes that slowly spread were created by him and others. In short, this is a very conscientious and talented cook who was born innocent.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this guy is a handsome guy. Because only rich people can be fat, and rich people are attractive. This truth has been true since ancient times.
"This is the latest trial-produced food. The biggest advantage is that it tastes very happy and joyful." Zeng Fei said the word "happy" and showed a happy smile.
Taking a closer look, Gu Nan blinked several times in succession before she regained her original mood in shock. It turned out that there was nothing else on the dinner plate, but a plate of potato chips and a plate of bubbling black liquid.
Each piece of these potato chips was exactly the same size and golden yellow. Zeng Fei ate a few potato chips in front of everyone, making a crisp sound when he chewed them. As for the black liquid on the side, he poured out a
Take a small cup and drink it all in one big mouth.
So familiar!
I want it, I really want to eat it!
"Look at you like this, you look like you haven't eaten in eight hundred years. Take it." He cursed verbally, but actually took more than half of it and gave it to Gu Nan who was standing aside.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Master."
Gu Nan was not reserved. After taking it, he asked Han Xin to go aside to eat potato chips and drink happy water. After one sip, it still had a familiar taste and a similar formula.
Seeing that Gu Nan liked this kind of delicacy so much, Han Xin tasted a few bites and gave the rest to his senior sister. For the first time, Gu Nan felt that it would be good to have such a junior brother.
After a while, after finishing eating the potato chips and drinking the happy water, everyone began to continue discussing the military situation.
"Does the king want to annihilate them all, or does he just want to win?" Bai Qi suddenly asked.
"How do you say a complete victory? How do you say a total annihilation?"
"If we are to win a complete victory, we only need to maintain the current momentum. A month ago, our army had only 200,000 new recruits, but now it has 300,000 veterans. According to our mobilization capabilities, 100,000 veterans will be available in half a year.
Tens of thousands of troops are not a problem."
"With the food, armor, and weapons provided by Da Qin, and with this million-strong army, the barbarians in the north will not be a problem."
"We can directly defeat the Northern Allied Forces without a decisive battle with them. We can rely on strong national strength and push forward. There is no need to take risks or strategies. We only need to build a stronghold, fight stupidly, and make progress step by step."
"This is the safest method. Once this method is used, no matter how many conspiracies the other side has, it will be meaningless. Even if Sun Wu is reincarnated, he will definitely be defeated!"
"As for the method of total annihilation, it is also very simple. Our army only needs to retreat ninety miles. The water system of the Huaihe River is no longer needed, and the natural dangers of the Yangtze River are no longer needed."
"Make enough space for them to camp and cross the Yangtze River! As long as they dare to come, they really can't leave!"
"At that time, we only need to dispatch a sufficiently elite navy from the outer sea to easily cut off their retreat. It is like making dumplings. There is our navy behind and our camp in front. Regardless of whether they
No matter what they do, their fate has been decided the moment they cross the river!"
Having said this, Bai Qi made some gestures and finally clenched his fists, as if the Northern Allied Forces were just like chickens and dogs, vulnerable to a single blow.
After finishing the gesture, Bai Qi sat down again and sighed: "Actually, no matter how we fight, we will win this battle. The gap is too big. Even if we go head-to-head with them and fight them in Jiangbei, we will win this battle."
"We are better than them at the grassroots level as officers, we are better at logistics than them, we are better at armor and weapons, and we are more united. The only thing that is not as good as them is the number of people. But three months later, even in terms of numbers, they do not have an advantage."
"Such a war is boring and unchallenging at all. If possible, I hope your Majesty can let young people give it a try. Many good generals and marshals have been trained little by little."
"There is no need for veterans like me and Meng Ao in this battle. We can completely let young men like Meng Tian take action and treat them as training generals."
Hearing this, Meng Ao, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't help it. He could no longer remain silent: "Ahem, Tian'er is still young and inexperienced. How can he control an army of hundreds of thousands to fight the enemy in a decisive battle?
?”
"Not young anymore. He is already twenty-seven or eighty years old this year. He also served as the Zhonglang General of the Yulin Guards before. He also participated in the battles to destroy Zhao, Wei, and Yan. He has quite a lot of experience."
"And if the king is worried, you can ask Li Xin to bring another 30,000 soldiers as insurance. With these 30,000 soldiers, even if the front line is in a mess, it won't be a big deal."
Having said this, Bai Qi glanced at Gu Nan. Of course Gu Nan knew that this was Bai Qi paving the way for her and using his past prestige to recommend her.
If Meng Tian takes command, then young generals like Li Xin will definitely be the mainstream in this battle. In this way, she, Gu Nan, will directly participate in this battle as a high-level disciple as Bai Qi's disciple, and no one will object.
She originally thought about refusing, but after thinking about all this, Gu Nan nodded seriously and began to recommend herself: "Your Majesty, good generals have always been trained."
"The history books have made it very clear that when Liu Bang started his career, his old men from Peixian County became good generals and military gods. When Cao Cao started his army, his brothers from the Cao family and the Xiahou family became talented people in large numbers, and each of them became a good general.
"
"Later in the Ming Dynasty, after Zhu Yuanzhang raised his army, many generals and military gods appeared among his fellow villagers. People did not know the reason. Through false rumors, he became the real dragon and the emperor descended to earth, followed by twenty-eight stars.
But that’s not the case at all.”
"The reason why they become good generals is simply because they have far more opportunities to practice than ordinary people. They fight more battles and make fewer mistakes, and they become good generals."
"Moreover, the empire's original goal of going to this world has actually been completed. The authenticity of the heavens and the world has been confirmed, and all the schools of thought have completely surrendered to the empire. As long as the king returns and gives an order, Chu and Qi can spread the word
It depends, it takes no effort.”
"Even in the worst case scenario, the empire will not lose its foundation. And if everything goes well, maybe after this battle is over, the king will be able to gain a few good generals and marshals again."
"What does the old general think?"
Hearing this, Meng Ao refused again, but he couldn't say anything: "I, I, I..."
