    After Situ Zhuo left with the spies, Daiyu and Zhou Anzhi discussed splitting the general's rations, ensuring that at least the left and right vanguards and the three thousand soldiers under her would carry at least half a month's worth of rations.

    At the beginning, Zhou Anzhi disagreed. The most important thing to avoid during a march is to lose morale, especially during a winter march. The conditions are difficult and if food is lost, deserters may appear.

    Of course, Daiyu¡¯s suggestion has its own reasons. The colder the winter, the more energy the human body needs to replenish. If the team is broken up, the more rations the scattered soldiers carry, the longer they can last.

    After listening to the princess's analysis, even an experienced person like Zhou Anzhi had to admit that there was some truth to it. However, Zhou Anzhi felt that he was not at that level at all now: "Although the princess's words are not bad, it has only been a few days since Yanmen and we are away from the front line.  It¡¯s still early, so it¡¯s not that easy to break up the team. Besides, if military rations are distributed to the soldiers, first of all, let¡¯s not talk about the problem of someone escaping with the food. Just say that if someone can¡¯t control their mouth, they will eat the fifteen-day ration for ten days early.  It¡¯s over, it¡¯s also a taboo for marching.¡±

    This is also true. In fact, the 50,000 soldiers this time were brought out from the Beijing Camp. After several years of training by Jia Jing, they are already considered to be extremely disciplined troops. However, if we have to compare military discipline with the Chinese army of later generations, Daiyu herself  I don¡¯t have that confidence either.

    In the modern army, not only can military rations be broken down into parts, but even the army can do it. However, in ancient times, overall management of military rations was still the mainstream. It is also for this reason that in ancient wars, methods such as robbing military rations and burning grain and grass appeared. Once successful,  It can even directly eliminate the combat effectiveness of an entire army.

    Daiyu said: "General Zhou, we brought the soldiers out ourselves, and we must have confidence in them. After the military rations are distributed, we can tell them that they must last for fifteen days, and if they are found to be disturbing the people, they will be killed without mercy. But we must  Make sure that every soldier carries military rations that can last for a period of time.

    General Zhou, don¡¯t you think it¡¯s strange?  So far we have not encountered the defenders along the West Sea who have retreated to report the news.  Not to mention the issue that affected the morale of the army after the death of Prince Nan'an, let's just say that although the garrison along the West Sea also farmed fields, they still needed the court to allocate military rations every year. There was a war this year. Logically speaking, the consumption of food, grass and baggage would be greater. Why are we now?  We haven't encountered any imperial troops retreating for help yet.  "

    The reason why Zhou Anzhi agreed to assign three thousand soldiers to Daiyu to command was not only that Daiyu was indeed respected by the soldiers in the army, but also because the princess was indeed not a woman who knew nothing.  Guang said that the original proposal to buy dried meat in Beidi was the princess's suggestion.

    Unlike the Beidi army, the soldiers of the Han family could live for a long time with a pack of dried meat and a pot of water. The stomachs of the imperial army could not adapt to a diet of all beef and mutton, but with the supplement of dried meat, the soldiers were indeed able to survive  Diet has improved.

    "What does the princess mean to say that the garrison along the west coast has surrendered and is now planning to deal with the imperial army?" Zhou Anzhi asked.

    Daiyu said: "It is always right to be careful. If General Zhou is really worried, the general rations will be distributed to the battalions, and each battalion will make overall arrangements. The remaining grains will still be escorted by the grain and grass army. But it cannot be the same as before, every two marches.  You need to receive military rations once a day. If the soldiers in each battalion only have enough food and grass to last for three days, it is really not possible."

    In fact, an army of 50,000 people consumes a lot of military rations just for eating and drinking every day, and it is impossible to prepare all the meals for 50,000 people in one place.  The matter of setting up camp and setting up stoves was originally delegated to each camp.  This dynasty's establishment consists of five hundred people in each battalion, commanded by the battalion commander.

    But during the march, in order to ensure the safety of the military rations, they would go to the grain and grass officer every two days to get two days of rations.  The odd-numbered battalions and even-numbered battalions took turns to lead.  If it is wartime, each battalion does need to carry more food and grass to ensure that there is enough buffer when the troops cannot gather.

    Zhou Anzhi thought for a moment and realized that this arrangement was just to replace each battalion's rations every two days with one every half month, and then nodded in agreement.

    "Unexpectedly, Daiyu said: "General Zhou misunderstood. What I said was not that each battalion receives military rations once every half month, but that each battalion keeps its own military rations for half a month. Daily consumption is still received from the grain and grass officer."

    Zhou Anzhi originally didn¡¯t want to agree, but now that the army was escorting a year¡¯s worth of grain and grass, half a month was not considered much, so he finally agreed.

    The march of the entire army is coordinated and unified. In this way, it is not a matter of allocating half a month of military rations to the camp, but the overall coordination of the entire march needs to be rearranged.  For example, in the past, the forward battalion was all light cavalry, ready to fight at any time; the infantry battalion, due to limited transportation capacity, was mainly responsible for guarding the front and rear of the grain and grass army, protecting the baggage; there were also two wings, broken rear, etc.

    Now each battalion has to allocate part of its food and grass, so horses, vehicles, etc. must also be allocated to the infantry battalion. The coordination work is not small.  But because Situ Zhuo brought??, tell the princess not to panic or wander around.

    Daiyu did not panic, but simply said: "What an accurate calculation!" She called Luo Yuan and said: "Go and tell General Zhou that this is a trick of the enemy. Even if the northwest defenders come to ask for help, they won't believe it."

    Luo Yuan is a close eunuch who has followed Situ Zhuo since childhood, and Zhou Anzhi also knows it.  Send Luo Yuan to convey the message, maybe Zhou Anzhi will listen to it.

    Although Liu Xiangyu was good at martial arts, he had never fought before. He was a little scared at the moment and asked Daiyu, "Princess, how did you know it was a trick? Are you afraid?"

    The shouts of killing from the front were getting closer and closer. Daiyu looked at the front and said calmly: "The timing is too coincidental. Why did the enemy army just come out when the imperial army was exhausted and had no time to set up a stove to cook lunch?"  Killed? If the troops stationed along the Western Sea Coast who came to ask for help have surrendered to the enemy, and are well fed and ready to work, and the imperial army still believes that they are their own people, what do you think the result will be?"

    A few simple sentences of analysis made Xiang Yu¡¯s pretty face turn pale with fright.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
