In fact, the Huotou Army has unloaded the materials as soon as possible, but if you want to bury the pot to cook, there is not an hour that you can't do it, and this is still the result of non-stop work.

Because of the relationship between catching the thief, Wang Yong and the others dragged on for half an hour, and there was less than an hour before the time of eating.

It's nothing in itself, after all, there is an hour for eating, even if it doesn't take half an hour, there is still enough time for them to eat and digest. So Cao Cao ordered him to prepare the meal before the end of the day, which was somewhat embarrassing.

"Lord, I have finally eliminated a wave of thieves around Xudu......" Wang Yong tried to intercede.

"You should send someone to us for help as soon as possible! Have you forgotten that you are not a regular army, but a military chef! Cao Cao directly reprimanded, "Not to mention that you sent people to arrest the thieves indiscriminately, it's okay if you succeed, if you don't succeed, do you want to post the guards and even the baggage?" And you see, because you have captured the thief, you have been delayed for half an hour, even if you have to cook a meal, it means that my soldiers will have to delay their dinner for half an hour! ”

In the end, the conclusion was given: "Considering that you have exterminated the thieves, then you can only be regarded as a meritorious person, and the result of your unauthorized dispatch of troops will not be investigated." But if you want to keep this female thief, you have to meet the conditions I have now offered! ”

Wang Yong was a little surprised and a little unconvinced when he heard this, but when he saw Cao Cao's worried eyes hidden under his cold expression, he couldn't say anything. As the main general, the other party is not a casual joke on the battlefield, needless to say how important the baggage supply is, even if something goes wrong Wang Yong is taken down and beheaded, she can't rush to save people.

"Okay, my subordinates understand...... Wang Yong didn't want to say anything, the characterization of the matter was like this, if he wanted to keep Zhou Cang, he would not fill in the culpability for delaying the meeting time and causing the delay in dinner time.

Guo Jia and the others followed behind Cao Cao, but they couldn't say anything. It is said that military law is the most boring, and Wang Yong's biggest situation at that time was that he did not send someone to ask for help at the first time, and he went to face the thief himself.

Victory is naturally a good thing, but if it is defeated, will the materials be snatched away by thieves? Take 10,000 steps back and say, what if the thieves are only coming from the front troops, and there are ambushes in the future?!

If the military rations and materials are robbed, then you can take the whole body and start the whole body, and there is no need to fight, just turn around and go back. Even if you can continue to fight, it will definitely have a great impact on morale.

So in this matter, they have no way to refute Cao Cao, and even if Cao Cao wants to protect Wang Yong, he can't come forward too much, otherwise he will be suspected of bending the law for personal gain.

"......Someone is coming," Cao Cao immediately beckoned, "Those thousands of captives...... Find a place to execute on the spot......"

"Yes!" It was Zhu Ling who stepped forward, this person was originally under Yuan Shao, when Cao Cao conquered Tao Qian, Yuan Shao sent him over to support, and the latter finally stayed. He is also quite armed and skilled in the art of war, and now he has become the commander of the Central Army.

There is no shortage of food, and it is not a problem to feed thousands of people. The biggest problem is that Cao Cao has no time to take care of thousands of people, especially the thousands who are hungry, and the military rations cannot be moved casually, but they can be left untouched, and execution is the best way.

"Lord, this place is not far from Xinji County...... Guo Jia still came forward to persuade, "The fast horse only needs an hour to arrive, and these captives only need to be fed some water, and it will not be a problem to support them for a day." ”

"Okay, hurry up and go to Xinji County!" Cao Cao sighed, and finally waved his hand, "Look, don't let them make trouble!" ”

"Whoever makes a fuss will be killed!" Guo Jia thought about it and made a suggestion, sometimes kindness is really unacceptable.

"Just do what Feng Xiao said!" Cao Cao nodded, then looked at Zhu Ling.

"Yes!" Zhu Ling nodded, and then immediately went down to make arrangements. I don't know if it's an illusion, but he found that Cao Cao seemed to be a little gentler than when he met him three years ago. It's not good, like this time, it's really not very decisive.

On the other hand, Wang Yong is having a headache, now the people of the Huotou Army have unloaded their things, and at the same time began to dig the earthen stove, and at the same time, some people began to collect firewood around, and the rest is to process the materials and prepare for cooking.

For them, being late is not their reason, so cooking late won't be a good deal. The problem is that Wang Yong's side can't do it, if he wants to keep Zhou Cang, then he must finish tonight's dinner in less than half an hour.

"It seems that the sword can only go sideways!" Wang Yong thought for a while and looked at Cai Yan, "How are the materials prepared?" ”

"The ham is ready, the carrots and onions are ready...... What's wrong? Cai Yan seems to have discovered something.

"I'm going to have dinner ready in less than half an hour! So, change the menu tonight! Wang Yong replied.

"When you change the menu temporarily...... I guess it's not very good, right? Besides, it takes a while to start cooking rice now, not to mention the matching meals, we don't have so many pots! ”

"So I cook the meals together!" Wang Yong gritted his teeth, "Change the menu, and prepare some raisins, cumin powder and peppercorns at the same time, and make pilaf tonight!" ”

"That was the time you failed?" Wen Ming seemed to remember a previous pilaf.

"I found out that it was not fried together, but the fried ingredients were put into rice and cooked together into ......rice," Wang Yong replied, in fact, after that failure, he has been looking for problems, and finally realized what the situation is.

"We don't have lamb...... You're not going to improve it with ham, are you? Cai Yan suddenly realized something.

"Yes, improve it with ham. The problem is that we don't have extra time to soak the ham, so the taste will be salty, so pay attention to the salt when cooking. Wang Yong replied.

The biggest problem is here, they are currently on the march, so they mainly rely on ingredients that can be carried for a long time. After the official stationing, they will buy ingredients in the surrounding area as a supplement to the military rations, in the final analysis, to adjust the taste.

Fresh meat, that naturally there is no way to count on, after hand ham, cured meats and pickles or something. By the way, this cured meat is no longer Cheng's cured meat......

You can also bring a batch of pigs or sheep with the army, and the nomads will do that. The Central Plains can't do it, tens of thousands of troops, need too much livestock, at this time an enemy attack, these livestock suddenly run around, when the original small riot into a big chaos, a battle to win more with less, can not be determined like this.

"How about boiling the ham in advance and boiling the salt out?" The marching sous chef stepped forward to ask.

"Yes!" Wang Yong nodded when he heard this, although this will reduce the flavor of the ham, but it can dilute the salt well. Even the broth can be used as an example soup if it is diluted and other ingredients are added.

Sure enough, at this time, everyone still has to work together to make suggestions in order to do things well.

"I don't have much time, because of my personal reasons, I need to prepare dinner before the end of the hour, I hope everyone will help me!" Wang Yong solemnly came to all the firehead soldiers and saluted them.

"Chefs don't need to do without this!" The crowd responded, "What is needed, but it is what it is told!" ”
