The order issued by Pei Qing is very absurd, as it is impossible to eat hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep in ten days. Once they are killed, it means that at most half a month later, the hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep in Pei Qing's army will no longer be used as military rations.

"Haha, is Pei Qing so stupid?" After hearing the news, Yuan Shao was very funny and said to the civil and military officials with a joke on his face: "Hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep were killed in ten days. How ridiculous should this be? In this case, we will wait for him to have no meat in half a month, and the food in his army is said to be only made for two months at most, which means that his army will be cut off during the Chinese New Year. This means that we can capture the entire Hanoi in the first month of the year, and even Hedong can be occupied. At that time, we will be able to achieve the plan of using the emperor to command the princes."

Guo Tu immediately said happily when he heard this: "I guess Pei Qing was anxious and made such a ridiculous order, so this proves that the lord's victory was God's will, and Pei Qing is the stepping stone for the lord's future. Our army will make achievements and the lord's lord's victory is just around the corner."

The others were also very happy and congratulated Yuan Shao together.

However, among them, only Ju Shu had a sad face and didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao asked quickly: "Mr., why do you have this expression? Is there anything wrong with this matter?"

Ju Su bowed and said, "Lord, I can't tell you about this matter, but the officials think that Pei Qing has always been smart and is definitely not so confused. I think he will definitely have his purpose in doing this. We'd better be careful and never be fooled by him."

"Oh? I don't understand this. Pei Qing killed all the cattle and sheep in his military camp. What capital does he have to shout with me? Could it be that he learned from the King of Western Chu to burn his boats? If this is the case, it would be great for Marco. I have been waiting for him in Huai County for too long and I can't wait to take revenge, afraid that he won't come. Besides, what other ideas can Pei Qing have? Can you tell me?"

Yuan Shao's tone was very calm, but his face was dissatisfied. In his opinion, Pei Qing could not have any trouble.

Ju Su shook his head and said, "You can't guess it, but you think that no matter what, we must not underestimate the enemy. Pei Qing is definitely not that simple."

This is not that Ju Su is not smart enough, but Pei Qing’s skill in pickling bacon is too advanced. With Ju Su’s current cognitive level, he didn’t know that Pei Qing would have such a trump card, so there is no way to guess.

However, Ju Su was able to guess that Pei Qing had ulterior motives, which was not easy. It was a pity that Yuan Shao could not use it, otherwise the final loss would be less.

At this time, Guo Tu took the opportunity to slander and said, "Lord, you are really kind enough. Some people are arrogant because of their favor. They can't explain a reason, but they are different. Only you can tolerate such people, so you are really generous and a wise master."

When Yuan Shao heard this, he immediately rebuked: "Your Majesty must not be rude. You are definitely not such a person."

Although he was protecting Ju Su in language, in his heart, Yuan Shao also thought Ju Su was a bit too much and actually said such unreasonable words. Could it be that he was really too tolerant of him?

However, Yuan Shao would not immediately distrust Ju Su, but the seed of doubt had been planted. If he wanted to completely remove it, it would be almost impossible. Next, this seed can only be said to continue to take root and grow stronger and stronger. When it reaches a certain level, the relationship between Yuan Shao and Ju Su will be completely broken.

So in the following days, Yuan Shao kept sending spies to Pei Qing’s camp to inquire about the news, and the result was that the aroma of boiled meat could float from the camp every day.

After learning the news, Yuan Shao was overjoyed and said, "Haha, that is to say, the soldiers in Pei Qing's army are now digesting these beef and mutton with all their strength? But that's true. Anyway, after a while, I can only watch the meat rot. Since that's the case, it's better to eat it first. Why are you smart? How can you take three steps? In fact, Pei Qing is just an ordinary person, and you can only take one step in the face of a crisis."

Of course, there were some compliments from others, only Ju Su still frowned. He tried his best to investigate Pei Qing's plan, but he still failed to get what he wanted. He didn't know what Pei Qing was thinking, but his deep anxiety always bothered him.

"Why did this Pei Qing do this? What is he doing this for?"

The same problem is not only lingering in Ju Su's heart, but even many soldiers under Pei Qing's command are difficult to understand. Even those who make bacon have many people who do not understand. They do not believe that this will allow the meat to be kept for a long time without being broken. However, they are somewhat difficult to understand when cooking so much meat but not allowing a meal of boiled meat. Of course, they are only difficult to understand these words. If you are dissatisfied with it, you will still be far from reaching this level.

Pei Qing did not give them any explanation, because he knew that if there was no fact in front of him, the perfect explanation would be pale and powerless. Only after everyone truly understood the benefits would they believe it.

So Pei Qing's bacon was made as usual. After half a month, all the bacon was basically completed. Pei Qing personally inspected it. Although the bacon was still rough and could not be compared with the exquisite bacon made in later generations, the quality was quite good, especially the degree of freshness, which basically met the requirements of later generations. When ventilated and dry, there was basically no problem in keeping it for three months, achieving his original purpose.

"This is equivalent to using this method to get more military rations for everyone. Three months is enough. I believe that within three months, there will be a change in the north. At that time, Yuan Shao was still too busy to take care of himself, so how could he take care of us?" Pei Qing was very satisfied and said with a smile to the civil and military officials under his command.

However, Wang Can suddenly said, "Lord, I have a plan to capture Yuan Shao."

"Oh? I wonder what kind of trick Zhongxuan is? You can tell me it."

When Pei Qing heard that Wang Can was about to offer a plan, he was immediately excited and quickly said this, showing his importance to the strategy proposed by Wang Can.
