    The world only knows that Liu Ke¡¯s soldiers and horses are very powerful in combat, but they don¡¯t know exactly why.

    Some even attribute it to Liu Ke possessing witchcraft, which can make his soldiers invulnerable.

    In fact, these are just rumors spread by people in the world. The real reasons are actually very complicated.

    In addition to benefiting from the well-trained and well-equipped Liu Ke soldiers and horses, food is actually also a very important aspect.

    You know, in this era, just having food is already a luxury.

    Not to mention being full or even well fed.

    As an ordinary soldier, he can only ensure that he is seventy percent full on weekdays. Only during wars can he truly have a few full meals.

    This is a very rare treat for them.

    However, this is only true for other forces. Under Liu Ke, this is not the case at all.

    From the early days of running Yangzhou, Liu Ke has deeply understood the essence of the saying that food is the first necessity for the people.

    Under his development, the land now occupied has extremely high grain yields, and has already passed the initial stage of satisfying food and clothing.

    At this moment, what Liu Ke is pursuing is not eating enough, but how to eat well and eat healthily.

    In Yangzhou, the most industrially developed area today, ordinary people there have begun to worry about their bulging bellies.

    Some beauty lovers have begun to advocate health care and weight loss.

    And as the soldiers Liu Ke relied on to dominate the world, he naturally received special favor and care from Liu Ke.

    Nowadays, Liu Ke's army implements a supply system, and each person's daily meals have been prepared, and they only need to be arranged according to the proportion.

    If it weren¡¯t for the lack of canning manufacturing technology today, Liu Ke might have produced individual combat rations.

    But despite this, it can already ensure that the soldiers have good meals and meat every meal.

    Just like now, when Zhang He gave the order to start cooking, the cooking soldiers immediately began to take nervous action.

    After a while, the fragrant smell of meat came out of the pot.

    As soon as the breeze blew in the valley, it immediately drifted into the nose of Cao Ren's army encircling the encirclement.

    After fighting for so long, they were also empty and hungry.

    However, when chasing Liang Xu in the morning, he never thought that this would be the situation and how could he carry rations.

    Fortunately, these Qiang and Hu cavalry are accustomed to fighting and living on the horse, and they can also find some dried meat from their arms to satisfy their hunger.

    But although this kind of dried meat can satisfy hunger, in order to preserve it, it is very dry and difficult to chew.

    Normally, it can be eaten by boiling it in water, but it can still be digested, but now that we are trapped, where can we get the water to boil it?

    Therefore, in order to fill up our stomach, we can only bite the bullet and eat.

    This is hard enough, but the aroma of meat wafts into their nostrils, making these people even more restless.

    At this moment, there was timely movement from Zhang He¡¯s side.

    "Brothers in the formation, the meat has been stewed. You can enjoy it as long as you come out of the formation.

    Don¡¯t hesitate, come on, it smells so good!  "

    ¡°As he said that, the man fished out a bone from the nest, chewed it wholeheartedly, and let out bursts of admiration.

    At this scene, the greedy Qiang and Hu cavalry couldn't help but swallow their saliva. If their reason hadn't told them that they would die if they rushed out, I'm afraid some people would have been unable to bear the temptation and jumped out of their positions and ran over.

    In the end, under Cao Ren¡¯s strong request, everyone had to bury their heads deep inside the position and pretend not to hear what was going on outside.

    Although Zhang He's move did not immediately disintegrate the opponent, it greatly affected their combat effectiveness.

    Under the strong contrast of the food on both sides, some Qiang and Hu cavalrymen could no longer eat the hard dried meat on their hands.

    Regarding this move, Cao Ren was also very helpless and could only hope that Wangyuan's reinforcements would arrive.

    At this moment, Yao Qiong, the guard of Wangyuan City, finally noticed something was wrong.

    Normally, the fleeing army chasing Liang Xu should have been easily captured.

    General Cao Ren¡¯s men are all cavalry, and they should have returned in triumph long ago. Why haven¡¯t they returned after being out for so long?

    Are you running into some kind of trouble and are you trapped and unable to get out?

    At the beginning, Yao Qiong discussed with his men, and everyone said that with General Cao Ren¡¯s strength, he would definitely not encounter any difficulties.

    Even if there is, it will never be stoppedThe footsteps of benevolence.

    The reason why the other party hasn't come back yet may be that he has other more important arrangements.

    There is some truth to this explanation, so Yao Qiong was not worried at first.

    However, until evening, Cao Ren's army had not returned.

    Even if you have other arrangements, you still have to send someone back with a message.

    But it was as if half of Cao Ren's army had disappeared, without any reply.

    This time, Yao Qiong was finally really worried.

    "No, I'm going to go out of the city to have a look. Maybe General Cao is really in trouble!"

    Yao Qiong stood up resolutely and walked out, but was stopped by his subordinates.

    "General Yao, it's normal for you to be worried about General Cao Ren. It's just that it's too late now and if you move rashly, you'll miss the mark.

    "Moreover, we in Wangyuan County have only a few soldiers. If there are people who can trap General Cao Ren's 10,000 Qiang cavalry.

    We don¡¯t even have enough people at our disposal!  "

    "What should we do? Are we really going to let it go?"

    Yao Qiong is a loyal man. It was very urgent for Liang Xu to attack Wangyuan the day before yesterday. If Cao Ren hadn't arrived with his troops, the city would have been destroyed and people would have been killed.

    Yao Qiong is always grateful for Cao Ren's rescue.

    Now that the other party is in crisis, how can you just sit back and ignore it?

    The subordinates knew Yao Qiong¡¯s temper, and when they saw that he was a little angry, they quickly explained: ¡°General, please calm down. Of course, my subordinates don¡¯t want to sit idly by and ignore him.

    "It's just that we don't have enough strength, so we need to mobilize more manpower!"  "

    "Oh? Do you have any good suggestions?"

    "I heard from General Cao Ren's men that there are still 10,000 troops stationed on Guatai Mountain, less than twenty miles away from Wangyuan.

    "As long as we send a letter to them, it will be made clear that their leader, General Cao Ren, is in trouble.

    I think the other party will come to rescue immediately and join our army at that time.

    Even Huang Zhong¡¯s main force is sure to cooperate with General Cao Ren inside and outside and successfully escape from danger.  "

    Liang Qiong, who was originally angry, finally softened his expression after listening to the advice of his subordinate.

    He thought carefully for a moment and thought this was indeed a good idea.

    After all, Yao Qiong is somewhat self-aware of her own strength.

    Although relying on his own passion, even if he knows that the other party is stronger than himself, he will move forward and never give in.

    But now we are not going to charge, but to save people.

    So I asked him to take the safest approach instead of showing off his bravery.

    In this case, naturally the stronger the force, the better the chance of winning.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
