Chapter 293: What's the purpose, this is?


The wind tends to the south, blowing the aroma of cooking on the side of the Han army camp to the Jin army's camp, and the thick smell of meat cannot be stopped, attracting the Jin soldiers who smell the fragrance to look at the north bank of the Yangtze River frequently.

"That's how many sheep were killed."

"It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant" "Look" The brigade was driving to the shore to deliver food to the fleet The Han army had built a simple water village last night, and rows of wooden plank walkways were built, that is, the waters on the bank of the river were driven down wooden piles, and brackets were erected and then arranged with wooden planks, and a creation similar to a ferry appeared.

A large number of ships were parked in simple water villages, and horse-drawn carriages could not enter, so they could only be carried by people or shouldered when they arrived at the position, and sent to the ships in batches.

"There is an order in the long history to send ten boats to the Jin army on the other side."

"No" Nearly a dozen Han boats began to cross the river, and there were not many soldiers on the boats, and most of the space was occupied by wooden barrels containing food.

The soldiers on the boat would shout while paddling, to the effect that they had crossed the river to bring food.

When the distance was far away, the Jin army didn't hear what they were shouting clearly, and the Jin army, who was in charge of keeping watch on the shore, hurriedly reported to their superiors.

By the time Yu Bing and the others knew that there was a Han army's boat crossing the river, the Han army's dozen or so boats had already reached the middle of the river, and the Han army's boat that arrived here did not rush forward again, but was five or six meters away from the Jin army's boat that came to intercept it, and stopped at each other.

"Hey, the other side, what are you going to do?"

"There is an order from the peak, and food is here."

The soldiers on the Han army's boat opened several of the wooden barrels as they spoke, and a thick smell of meat wafted out.

The wooden barrels that were opened were full of braised mutton.

It was mutton with spices, and it smelled not only a strong meat aroma, but also an inexplicable aroma, which made people saliva come out of their mouths when they smelled it.

The current spices in the Central Plains are basically from the Western Regions, and some spices can already be grown and fed in the Central Plains.

There are not too many types of spices, after all, Nanyang has not been developed at present, and some spices that have been widely used in later generations have not yet been launched.

In fact, most of the current cooking techniques of the Han Department are made by Liu Yan, such as the stir-frying method, and then there is the addition of some Chinese medicinal materials to the food.

In the past, cooking was basically boiled, that is, simply throwing white water into the food, except for salt, nothing will be added, and the taste and smell can be imagined.

The confrontation ended when Yu Bing ordered the release, and the dozen or so boats of the Han army were escorted and monitored by a large number of Jin army ships to the shore.

Due to the arrangements made in advance, there were not many onlookers when the Han army landed, and some of them were heavily guarded by Jin soldiers and soldiers.

"There's no need for that, we're just less than fifty people here."

Cheng Shuo was full of depression, he opened the barrel again, and the strong smell of meat wafted out again.

He looked at each other for a while, and more people opened the nearby wooden barrels, most of which were mainly meat-based food, and shouted in unison: "Pretty good stewed mutton, and beef with sauce" It was really fragrant, and the wind blew like that, causing the Jin troops within dozens of meters around to smell it.

At that moment, I don't know how many pairs of eyes looked at the wooden barrels that had been opened, and the "grunt" sound of swallowing saliva sounded frequently, and those eyes were full of longing for meat.

Speaking of which, there are not many cattle and sheep in the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, even if the rich and noble families may not be able to eat a meal of meat a month, mutton may still be able to taste, and beef is not even a thought.

Of course, those aristocrats want to eat meat or something, but it is not so easy to eat a bite of beef, after all, cattle are part of the productive forces.

Ten boats can hold as much food as ten buckets as high as the sky.

A bucket is about 200 catties of meat, and ten buckets are 2,000 catties, which is actually 20 sheep plus about two cows.

Twenty sheep and two cows would be a lot if you were an individual unit, but if you were judged by the army as a whole, it would be a small number.

The nearly 17,000 Han armies on land and water that went south had 70,000 sheep feet and 3,000 cattle at their disposal.

In addition, as for horse meat, it is cavalry, plus the horses that pull the carts, or pack horses, and the losses caused by these, the crippled or dead horses must not be thrown away or covered up, and they cannot be given up if they can eat a bite.

Xie An was assigned by Yu Bing, he was a little surprised to see that the Han army brought a large amount of meat, and then asked a Sima from another part of the Han army, he was stunned for a moment, and when he knew that "Sima" was the official position in the Han army who could lead five hundred people, he smiled bitterly.

The military system adopted by the Han army was a strong Han system, and some official positions were the same as those of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but the military system of the Eastern Jin Dynasty had more changes, and even the grassroots level was completely different.

The army of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was still the traditional Shiwu system below the ranks.

The team has about 200 people, and there is a "team leader"; A number of teams are combined into a building, and a "building master" is set up; Generally, the three buildings are combined into an army, and the first army is about 3,000 people.

There is no fixed establishment above the army level, and the imperial court temporarily appoints "governors" or "commanders" of the army.

The establishment of the Han army is a team of six people.

Thirteen people are one and two chiefs.

Including five chiefs, ten captains and one team leader led 66 people as a team.

Five teams of 330 people, plus a tun commander and five personal guards of 336 people, for one tun.

The 1,344 people of the four tuns, plus five guards from each of the two other Sima, a military marquis, and the corresponding ten guards, are a song.

Five songs, six thousand seven hundred and twenty men, plus a lieutenant and twenty of his personal guards, became a department.

At the level of the ministry, there is the division, and the division will be the chief officer, and the commander will be qualified to carry thirty personal guards.

The real situation is that in the Spring and Autumn Period, the division was the main force of warfare, and at that time, how many chariots were used as a "pawn," how many "pawns" were a "two," how many "two" were a "thorough," how many "thorough" were a "brigade," and above the "brigade" were the "divisions."

Taking the former Jin State as an example, the military strength is generally to retain six "divisions", that is, the families of the six great feudal lords of the Jin State each have a "division".

Under normal circumstances, the "department" in the Han army is the most used structure, and the need to use to the "division" level is already considered to be of a combat nature, and the use of "army" is the nature of a campaign.

By the way, when it comes to the "division" and above, it is the strength of two "departments" as one "division", and the strength of the "army" above the "division" is not fixed, and it can be two "divisions" or an infinite number of them.

The Eastern Jin Dynasty has a special understanding of the military system of the Han army, and the military system of the Han army is a mentality that does not understand it, all because the military system of the Han army seems to be very simple, but the system is too large.

The food sent by the Han army naturally needs to be tested to see if it is poisonous or something, because the people who crossed the river of the Han army shouted loudly, which was known to everyone, and the generals and colonels on the side of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were sincerely embarrassed.

"Ann has eaten some, it's very delicious."

Xie An looked at Zhang Heng with a wry smile and said, "There is a lot of meat they send, but in fact, it can't be divided into everyone's mouths at all. ” "I can't say that they have bad intentions, after all, it's close to four thousand catties of meat" Zhang Heng said that the catty is different from the unit of measurement on the Han side, and one Han catty is equal to two Jin catties.

He was also smiling bitterly: "We have nearly 30,000 soldiers, and those who have begged for nearly 150 catties of meat." ” Those Zhang Heng said were Wang Xizhi and a group of other people, but less than ten people were begging for almost all the beef, but they didn't know if they were the king of big stomachs.

Xie An really didn't know that Wang Xizhi and Xi Su and others begged for one hundred and fifty catties of beef, and after being a little stunned, he smiled bitterly again: "We rarely eat beef once a year, and when they learned that there was beef, they naturally wanted to let it go." ” A group of so-called celebrities and celebrities are a group of people who like to take 1 medicine and then go crazy with their chests exposed, or literati who have good poetry, penmanship, and painting style, they haven't been in a trance from their hangover last night, and they woke up and took some medicine.

This time, they didn't have time to do any poems, sing or songs, and put calligraphy or anything aside, so they launched a fierce attack on the beef on the plate, and while eating, they also praised the commander of the Han army on the other side of the river for knowing how to be a man, and he actually brought such delicious food.

"It's full of spices, and the beef is extremely chewy" Of course, Xi Su is a person who will not lack a bite of beef, but it is not easy to get spices, and then he has never eaten such a delicious sauce.

He said as a matter of course: "Go and tell the Zhuzi on the other side that Yi Shao and Xinggong are all here, and order them to send more delicious food."

Yi Shao is Wang Xizhi's cousin, and Xinggong is Sun Sui's cousin.

Both of them were very famous celebrities, and both were famous for their calligraphy.

No one had any opinion on Xi Su's statement, and they took it for granted that since there were two great calligraphers here, the Han people on the other side should kneel and lick, and they were willing to eat the food sent by the Han Department, which definitely gave a great deal of face.

They dared to think, and they really dared to do it, and they directly bypassed the Yu brothers and the Jiang Defense command, that is, a few little guys ran to the shore with high spirits, and "crackled" at Cheng Shuo and others who were waiting, to the effect that the meat was delicious, and they quickly sent another batch.

At this time, the Han army was already pulling out, and both the land and water armies were moving towards the west of the Yangtze River waterway, which seemed to be quite moving, and it also made Yu Bing and other generals have no time to deal with the brain pumping behavior of those famous people.

Cheng Shuo and other Han army soldiers felt inexplicable, and Xie An and some other people from the Eastern Jin Dynasty were stunned.

In other words, the intention of the Han army to send meat has not yet been determined, is it really good for those celebrities to do this?
