Chapter 185 (1/2)
Han then pinched a handful of millet in his hand and couldn't help laughing. Then he called out, ”take these grains back, quick.”
As the saying goes, one bell for eating the enemy is 20 for me. In fact, although the grain production rate in ancient times was not as high as it is today, there was no problem in supplying soldiers. The key reason for the shortage of grain and grass in ancient times was the loss of grain and grass transportation.
In general, when transporting grain and forage to the warlords, they have to temporarily requisition civilian men, and a civilian can carry 100 kg of grain, and he consumes one stone, that is, 27 Jin of grain every month. Assuming that he can walk 50 Li a day with food on his back, it will take 20 days to walk a thousand li. If the grain is sent to the garrison, half of it will be good.
The so-called grain transportation over thousands of miles is a matter of hunger. Therefore, if the enemy's food is captured, the army does not need to transport at all. What is saved is not only the rations of soldiers, but also the rations of civilians. Can't we let people work or eat? The Emperor didn't send hungry soldiers.
Han Sui led his troops to escort the Han Army's grain and grass back to the Kuiyuan gorge barracks. It was really good to take food from the enemy.
Han Sui led his army to block Kuiyuan gorge. He arrested both the Han Army's grain transportation team and the sentry post. For a while, Zhou SHENBU, who surrounded Yuzhong City, could not get food and grass, and even his contact with the outside world was directly cut off.
Outside Yuzhong City, Zhou Shen's military camp.
Several soldiers were dissatisfied with the wooden chopsticks and plucked the millet in the bowl in front of them. There was little water in the bowl. The rice grains were even visible. How could people eat?
Bang!
One of the five big three rough soldiers heavy in the hands of the Tao bowl on the table, rice soup spilled out.
”Damn it! What's the matter with the logistics camp? We work hard for our country, but in the end we can only drink clear water? ”
Hearing the impatient complaint of his colleague, the soldiers around him also yelled.
”That is, why did the logistics camp let us eat with a small bucket?”
”Is it difficult? There is a shortage of food in the army?”
Rumors suddenly spread in Zhou Shen's barracks. Recently, many soldiers and soldiers ate small scuffles. The rice grains in the soup are clearly visible. They are just dozens of grains of rice and a pot of water. How can they bear it?
In the army, the reason is very simple Of course, there is a shortage of food in the army.
Depressed, Sun Jian, who wanted to go out for a walk, could not help frowning when he heard the uproar in the camp. He opened the camp and went in.
”What are you arguing about? Is that where you shout in the barracks
”Sun Sima!”
Seeing Sun Jian, who had always had prestige, got up in a hurry and bowed his head slightly. However, the five and three crude soldiers were still angry.
Sun Jian frowned: ”Wang Lin, your boy's face looks like a bitter gourd. What complaints do you have? Tell this Sima how to listen?”
When Wang Lin heard this, he could not help asking, ”dare you ask sun Sima, what did we go all the way to Yongliang for?”
”Pacify the Qiang rebellion, report to the emperor, and lower the people.”
Wang Lin pointed to the pottery bowl on the case table and said indignantly, ”we are fighting with blood. Can't we eat such things?”
Sun Jian's face was strange. He took a wooden bowl from the top of the table. He was stunned. Then he looked at the rice grains inside carefully: one, two, three 27、 Only 27 grains of rice!
”That's not true!”
Sun Jian was so angry that he threw the bowl on the ground, turned around and left.
”Don't worry, I will give you justice when I go to the logistics camp.”
There is a saying that the emperor does not send hungry soldiers. War is a matter of the head pinned on the waist of his trousers. How can soldiers fight if they are not fed?
Sun Jian thought more and more angry, angrily went to the logistics camp, shouting.
”Where's Zhou Jin! Get the kid out of here. ”
