The success of this long-distance marching is inseparable from Jia Xu's full preparations before.
These preparations are not just water and food, but also a variety of military supplies.
Without these preparations, Fei Qian should not be so relaxed at the moment.
In ancient times, the army went on a war and marched for a long distance was actually quite a complicated matter, and there was a lot of work to be done.
After getting up in the morning, as the order was issued, each department needed to pack up its belongings and weapons, then lined up to eat according to the order, and then counted the dry food and supplies of each department, war horses and weapons, etc., and registered to report one by one in the matter.
The main general will send someone to check whether there are any differences. At the same time, send scouts to move forward first. Generally speaking, there are twenty-four teams, divided into two shifts, and they will take turns to detect forward to ensure the safety of the entire army when they are moving.
Then a pre-master meeting needs to be held, each department reports the specific problems and relevant situations, and then makes a quick decision. If it can be solved on site, it will be solved on site. If it cannot be solved, it will be left to discuss and deal with it when camping in the evening. At the pre-master meeting, different strategies must be arranged according to the terrain ahead, such as when encountering rivers and ditches, who is responsible for building a simple bridge, if it encounters mountains, forests and highlands, who is responsible for detecting and detecting, etc.
Because Fei Qian led basically all cavalry this time, things are much simpler. Otherwise, if it is a mixed army, even the army needs to be divided into levels when leaving the camp. Just like it is most likely to be attacked when crossing the river, it also needs to be in a specific order when leaving the camp. Generally speaking, the first cavalry to be released from the camp is the cavalry of each unit. Because the cavalry is fast, after leaving the camp, quickly advance to two or three miles away from the camp, then stop setting up a fixed position, set up a queue and start alert. Then, the infantry units will exit the camp in sequence according to the position direction, build an array warning from the camp, and finally the baggage team will leave the camp.
When moving, if it is a mixed group, in general weather, infantry will walk in front, while cavalry will follow the baggage team behind. If it is snowing after snow, it will be the other way around. The cavalry will step out a path in front, while infantry will follow the baggage cart behind...
Walking along with water is another way.
In the evening, after choosing a camping place, cavalry guards must be sent first to patrol around, and then infantry camped. Only after the infantry set up the camp can the cavalry come back to rest. At the same time, various checkpoints must be set up, and patrols will be arranged at night, etc.
After a day, I was so busy and exhausted.
The preliminary preparations Jia Xu made in Longyou before was to reduce Fei Qian's trouble.
First of all, the sentries built along the way stored a certain amount of materials as a supplement. On the other hand, it also allowed Fei Qian and his group to temporarily set up a defense system for camps. They could directly build temporary camps based on the small military camps attached to this sentry, which reduced a lot of workload.
Secondly, many trivial matters are also replaced by the on-duty personnel of these small military camps, such as preparing drinking water, distributing fodders, and even helping to repair the iron palms of war horses, repair the wheel hubs of the baggage trucks, etc.
Finally, there will inevitably be some accidents during the march, and some wounded people may appear. At this time, the small post is very useful. Whether it is to allow the wounded to rest for a short time or transport it to the rear, it can greatly reduce the burden on the army and make the soldiers feel more at ease.
Of course, all this costs money...
Jia Xu brought the account book.
Now that Longyou has finished walking on such a "highway" and it is time to summarize with Jia Xu, to see if this road is worth it, whether it needs to be set up for a long time, and if it is adjusted, how to adjust it, etc.
This is what Fei Qian has always emphasized, right things and wrong people. It cannot be said that only Jia Xu is in Longyou, and he and Taishi Ci can get out of the momentum of traveling thousands of miles a day. Then, after changing someone, it will be difficult to walk three or five hundred miles a day, right?
Longyou was originally a region with very low productivity, poor affordability, and relatively sparse population, which made it difficult to increase taxes even in wars or temporary levies. Previously, all the war needs of the Western Qiang were recruited from other places. This was also a relatively important reason why Shandong people hate Longxi very much.
If we look at the concept of a family, there is no problem with Shandong's attitude towards Longyou. After all, no one likes a poor relative. He asks him for money every day, and it goes on for a long time, and it continues every year, for several years or even more than ten years.
But the problem is that Shandong and Longyou are not just "relatives", but belong to the same country and the whole. Kansai's general and Kansai's prime minister was originally a simple concept of cooperation, but those who are petty and care about themselves have destroyed the foundation of cooperation.
If there is a problem, the problem should be solved, not avoiding it.
When going out to fight, it will consume a lot of food and grass, which is a big problem.
And this problem has been around for a long time.
Since the Western Han Dynasty, people have been howling and shouting until the Eastern Han Dynasty.
It's difficult, transportation is difficult, consumption is very big, it's a big problem!
But because of this problem, we will never fight against the outside world?
Jia Xu was also covered in dust. He came from Jincheng. There were several civil servants following him, and each of them had a lot of bills tied up. If Fei Qian had not promoted bamboo paper, he would have to be loaded with a car.
Fei Qian didn't say much nonsense, so he found a relatively flat stone with Jia Xu and began to study these bills. As for the military's chores, Xu Chu was mainly dealt with on his behalf. After this period of time, Xu Chu was also a relatively suitable internal security commander, and there was no big problem in handling these military affairs.
The most important change reflected in these bills is the logistics of food and grass.
Since it is the biggest problem with food and grass, let’s deal with this problem first.
People's appetite will not change much. Some people can eat it very well, but some people have a small appetite. When the overall human genes do not change much, the basic nutritional needs of the human body will not change due to the age.
The same is true for war horses. In the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty and the future, demand can be roughly regarded as a quantitative measure.
Strictly speaking, the cavalry brought by Fei Qian this time was not a horse and a pair of horses, but a horse and a little five. The remaining ones were composed of large animals such as mules, horses, horses, and horses. These mules, horses and horses undertake the load tasks of general baggage trucks and also carry a certain amount of trailers.
Therefore, the consumption of Fei Qian's army on the way is two parts, one is the food and grass he carries himself, and the other is the additional supplement of these small military camps along the way. This time, it was to pursue speed, so there were no small animals. If you follow the normal marching speed, then you would probably take some sheep and you would not be able to further reduce the amount of solid food and grass healing.
The consumption of war horses is relatively large. A war horse consumes about three times the food and grass as a soldier. After all, war horses not only need to eat grass, but also need essential materials. Even before the war begins, soldiers will specially feed the war horses some fried products mixed with salt and sugar to improve the endurance of the war horses. However, mules and slow horses are relatively easier to raise, and only the forage pipe is full and then occasionally mixed with some beans.
Fei Qian was also using this long march to calculate the proportion of war horses and slow horses. Now it seems that according to the account book and actual march, the proportion of war horses can still be further reduced, perhaps a suitable range of 1:2 to 1:30 to 1:30 to 1:30 to 1:30.
This not only ensures the replenishment of accidental damage during the marching of war horses, but also reduces the pressure on food and grass.
As for the consumption of soldiers, ancient people did not understand the concept of calories, but Fei Qian knew it, so using oil to replace carbohydrates as much as possible has become an important research direction to reduce military rations.
Generally speaking, the calories released by the same weight of fat will be twice that of carbohydrates. Of course, this data may not be accurate, but in daily life, the comfort brought by fat will be stronger than ordinary carbohydrates. As for the advantages and disadvantages of saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids, there is no such thing at this stage at this time of the Great Man.
If it is placed in later generations, it will definitely be disgraceful to many healthy gourmets. However, if it is placed in the present of the Han Dynasty, it will make the Han people who rarely eat meat so happy that they eat and cry while eating.

Heavy salt means that food is less prone to rot and deterioration in the current weather in Longyou and can be carried for a long time, while heavy oil is an important factor in providing a feeling of fullness.
The human body is a complex body. To a certain extent, the carbohydrates in food are the source of energy of the human body and are also an important factor in the pursuit of stable carbohydrate intake and the development of stable civilization in order to move towards farming.
When there is a lack or excessive food, it will cause people to feel "hungry" or "full", and this feeling does not entirely come from the swelling of the stomach. The stomach is only a part. When eating, the stomach will indeed send signals to the brain, but the brain does not only receive a signal from the stomach.
Just like people with anorexia and bulimia, I'm afraid the stomach signals will be blocked directly by the brain.
So in fact, how much you eat is not the key to feeling full.
Eat well.
High calorie, high sugar.
The planting range of beets and sugarcane is not large, and due to the variety, the sugar production is not high. Therefore, Fei Qian can only work hard on oil, that is, the white food and red food of the original nomadic people. The Zhuanghe produced by the farming of the Han people to exchange for these white food and red food with the settled Southern Xiongnu and Western Qiang, on the one hand, promoted communication and exchanges between these herdsmen and Han people, and on the other hand, both sides would subconsciously work to expand production to obtain more materials.
If sugarcane cultivation in Jiaozhi can be further expanded...
This is a future thing.
Feiqian discovered that herdsmen would also be affected by the "small peasant economy".
When the producer finds that his efforts are useless and cannot bring more value, and even efforts are disproportionate to the harvest, the producer will naturally choose a relatively low and relaxed level, commonly known as lying flat.
"Originally, the Han soldiers had three stones and three dou three lunar eclips, which was particularly insufficient. They often had symptoms such as typhoid fever, dysentery, headache, limbs, bloating and fullness of the heart and abdomen, and swelling of the two spleens," Jia Xu said with emotion, "Now the lord changed the grain to white red, and the lunar eclipse of two stones is not worrying about... The military strategy is that if the general has no baggage, he will die, if he has no food, he will die, and if he has no accumulation, he will die. Now the lord's method can reduce the need for baggage, which can be said to be a major strategy for the country!"
Fei Qian nodded and then breathed out. Obviously, after increasing the proportion of red and white food, it really reduced the pressure of transportation. This difference is the reason why Mongolia was able to eat all the way in history, and it is also the shackles that the Chinese nation itself has put on itself that it has not been able to walk away for thousands of years.
『Not only that.』 Fei Qian pointed to the number of transportation on the bill, "With a slow horse, one horse can be worth five people, and if you use less manpower on the way, you can use more places...』
This is also an open account, which can be seen directly.
After all, after using high-calorie food, the total weight drops, which will inevitably save transportation and relieve stress.
And the benefits are not just these, but also some hidden benefits...
For example, in terms of nutrition.
After adding red and white food, the nutrition will be more balanced.
Although the treatment of soldiers guarding the border in the Han Dynasty was not too bad, after all, there were even worse among the subsequent feudal dynasties. Even so, soldiers guarding the border in the Han Dynasty often suffered from various diseases due to malnutrition, and death and decline were inevitable. The fundamental reason was mostly malnutrition. The most fundamental reason for malnutrition was that the dispensing was unreasonable.
In the Han Dynasty, there seemed to be a lot of military rations delivered to the border on the surface, with more than ten kinds, such as millet, minced, barley, barley, ordinary wheat and beans, etc., but in fact, they were all basic carbohydrates, and the vitamins and proteins necessary for the human body, that is, some vegetables and meat, needed by the soldiers guarding the border, to buy them by themselves...
In addition, the soldiers guarding the border are like this, so the ordinary people who are brought to serve as labor and transported to and from time to time are reduced again on the basis of the garrison soldiers. Therefore, over time, malnutrition will almost certainly occur.
The longer the war, the more people are affected by this malnutrition, from the border to the inland, from soldiers to the people. As the rulers of these feudal dynasties in China, they will only see the average number and think that an average of three stones and three, how can there be any problem?
It's like the average of various future generations.
This is why China is getting weaker and weaker as it fights. She only stares at the average all day long, only looking at the land under her feet. If there is a problem, it will either delay or give up, and naturally it will not be able to truly solve the problem. Fei Qian is now opening a door for China, which not only faces the Western Regions, but also faces a deeper place.
By changing the angle, you can see a brand new world.
…(?·??··?)??…
The Jiangdong Army, trapped near the Qiting Pavilion, is now preparing to find a new angle to solve the problem.
Huang Gai, in addition to the command of the navy, he is also "setting fire".
He wanted to burn the positions of the Sichuan and Shu army on the mountain.
This is the strategy he thought of. He could easily make a fire. He neither had to send people to the mountains and forests to be beaten nor had he paid any extra cost. He just needed to light a fire and could sit and watch the howling of the Sichuan and Shu army wolf howling on the mountain.
But the problem is that it is autumn now...
Most of the autumn wind blows from north to south. If Huang Gai sets fire, it may also burn to the Sichuan-Shu position on the northern hill, but it may also burn to his own fleet!
Therefore, Huang Gai can only send water ghosts to sneakily destroy the obstacles to the river at night while waiting for the opportunity to change the wind direction.
The water ghost in Jiangdong still had some effect at the beginning.
It is basically impossible to directly destroy these obstacles nailed to the bottom of the water by relying on the water ghost's human power. In fact, people are not very good at exerting force in the water. The only way is to tie the ropes to those obstacles and then pull them by the ship behind them.
This change was soon discovered by the Sichuan and Shu army, and then dropped a lot of fishing nets directly from the upstream.
These fishing nets have some hooks, and once the water ghost is touched, they cannot escape. Even if the water ghost is not caught, hooked up to the obstacle, or directly hooked to the rudder of Huang Gai and others, it is quite difficult to deal with.
At the same time, the Sichuan and Shu army also increased the harassment force in the mountains and forests. From time to time, it was true and false, which made Huang Gai and others nervous. Even if they knew that these Sichuan and Shu soldiers hiding in the mountains might not really rush out of the mountains and forests, what if?
Especially at night, he imitated the roars of various beasts, pretending to be ghosts and crying, which made Huang Gai so angry that his beard shook, but there was no good way. It was impossible to say that he could block his ears, right? At the third update of the night, after attacking, even Huang Gai was a little scared when he saw the dark forest, let alone ordinary soldiers in Jiangdong. If he didn't attack, he could only endure it.
For several days, Huang Gai felt that he had a headache.
Huang Gai had a headache, while Shamoko was so excited that his face was blushing.
Shamoko really didn't expect that he could fight like this in the battle!
As a barbarian in Wuling, Shamoke and his tribesmen fought many of them with Jiangdong soldiers. In the previous battles, Shamoke and his tribesmen were always at a disadvantage. The Jiangdong soldiers relied on the advantages of ships and fought as much as they wanted, and left as they wanted. Shamoke and others had no good idea at all. Now, Shamoke saw Zhuge Liang's operation and suddenly realized...
Oh, I understand!
It's OK!
In addition to taking people to attack the Sichuan and Sichuan Mountain soldiers every day, Shamoke is also summarizing every day. Seeing Zhuge Liang arrange the dispatch like a flowing cloud, he feels that the battle is simply not too simple!
Isn’t this like having fish, sauerkraut, and then having hands, you can make a steaming pot of sauerkraut fish?!
Shamoke felt that his self-confidence was constantly expanding. When he returned to Wuling area, he would throw the fish into the pot first, then throw the sauerkraut, and then it would be done! Although it might not be as exquisite as Zhuge Liang made, isn’t it also sauerkraut fish? Anyway, there are fish and sauerkraut, so who can say it is not sauerkraut fish?
Zhuge Liang smiled. He knew that Shamoke was secretly learning his tactics, but Zhuge did not hide it, and of course he would not explain much. Anyway, he was all in the food, so how much he could learn was his own ability.
