Even though his father was Liu Chan's favorite minister, he went to the Shu Han Palace to attend the palace banquet more than once and had seen countless delicious foods and exquisite ingredients. However, Chen Can had never seen such fine flour, without any bran impurities, which were so pure that it was unimaginable how many times he had cleaned the wheat when grinding the noodles.

Unfortunately, without seasoning packs, I can't smell the rich fragrance reported by my subordinates and the legendary ones, the salty and fresh fragrance that makes people saliva when they smell it. However, without the cover and interference of the ingredients, the unique fragrance of the noodles itself and the faint egg fragrance in the noodles can be tasted even more.

After silently finishing a bowl of noodles without seasonings, Chen Can still ask in disbelief, "Can the rebel soldiers and the people in Wulian City really eat several bowls of such thin ginger (the prototype of noodles) every day?"

"Prefect, my subordinates know you can't believe it."

Zeng Kai said with a wry smile: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, even if I killed my subordinates, my subordinates would never believe that Zhang Zhi'er could be so generous, and was willing to send such a good squid to his soldiers and the people. But it was true that this was the case. Zhang Zhi'er was so extravagant and squandered that, and really allowed his soldiers and the people of Wu Lian to eat several packs of such squid every day."

"And there are salt, oil, vegetables, beef and pork." A personal soldier from Chen Can who followed Zeng Kai into the city rushed to add: "You have been with the prefect for many years. You have eaten and seen it, but you have never eaten such delicious things before!"

"Zhang Zhi's son is so stingy." Another personal soldier added angrily: "I gave us instant noodles, but I actually took away all the good salt, even if I leave half of it for us."

"Prince, this kind of ginger called instant noodles, I have eaten a little last time." Su Ding also rushed to say: "The food was served that time, and it was so delicious that it was unbelievable. Not only was the salt more delicious, but it was also better than the best-produced well salt in Yizhou. I really don't know what kind of salt it is."

After saying that, Su Ding quickly did it himself and made a bowl of Huafeng Sanxian Noodles without seasonings. Chen Can's confidant Liu Huan followed suit. While soaking noodles, he asked Zeng Kai in disbelief: "Zeng Zhubo, Wu Liancheng's grain warehouse is really full of such instant noodles? Have you seen it carefully? Zhang Zhi's son wouldn't play any tricks. Put some straw sandbags under the noodles to pretend, right?"

"I've definitely seen it clearly." Zeng Kai replied helplessly, saying, "Not only did we see it clearly, we also deliberately moved many noodle boxes to see the situation underneath. Open the noodle box to see if there are really instant noodles inside, but it's useless. Zhang Zhi's son really didn't play tricks. His warehouse was indeed full of instant noodles, and it was still instant noodles with all kinds of flavors."

"Is this unreasonable?" Chen Can said in surprise: "Even if his warehouse is really full of instant noodles, Wu Lian's whole city has eaten for more than half a month, he should have eaten a few warehouses. How could the warehouse be still full?"

"There are even more unreasonable." Zeng Kai said with a wry smile: "Zhang Zhier openly claimed that he could find ways to get instant noodles. His accomplices and lackeys looked normal when they heard this, just as if Zhang Zhier could get instant noodles."

"Can Zhang Zhi knows magic and can create instant noodles out of thin air?" Chen Can frowned and said, "Otherwise, how could such a ridiculous thing be in the world?"

No one could answer Chen Can's question. All that was Su Ding and Liu Huan continued to eat instant noodles without seasoning. Chen Can quickly gave up his plan to dig deeper and shook his head and said, "This is not important now. Before we catch the leader of the thief army who knows the inside story, it is difficult for us to find out the specific details. The most important thing now is how to quell Zhang Zhi's rebellion."

After talking to himself, Chen Can asked the county soldiers and civil and military personnel present: "You think, what should we do next? Zhang Zhi'er has asked Zeng Zhubo to bring a letter of confrontation. Will we accept his battle tomorrow and send troops to fight him?"

"If there are really countless such instant noodles in Wulian City, then it is definitely impossible for us to rely on siege to break the enemy." Liu Huan said: "The best way is to take advantage of the opportunity of Zhang Zhi's thief army taking the initiative to attack and even annihilate him in the field. In this way, even if the thief army still chooses to defend the city to death, we can still take down Wulian City at a very small price."

"The last general also agrees with the decisive battle." Su Ding agreed: "Although our military strength is not very advantageous, our equipment is much better than the bandit army, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is also stronger than that of the bandit army. If we fight head-on, we can still have a stable chance of winning."

"If I hadn't known about the situation in Wulian City, my subordinates would have opposed the risky battle under the division of troops." Zeng Kai also said: "But now the situation is completely different. My subordinates have personally confirmed that Zhang Zhi's thief army has sufficient food. We have absolutely no chance of winning by just confronting food consumption. Therefore, my subordinates can only agree with a head-on battle. Only by breaking the thief army by a head-on decisive battle can we take down Wulian and quell the rebellion initiated by Zhang Zhi's son."

Chen Can thought without saying a word, but suddenly asked after a long time, "Su Ding, you said before that when Zhang Zhi's son attacked your camp last time, he relied on some iron armored soldiers to attack the vanguard and caught you off guard. Are you sure that Zhang Zhi's son has not many iron armored soldiers?"

"Not sure there are many." Su Ding immediately replied: "That night, the two camps under the command of the last general temporarily blocked the iron-armed soldiers of the rioters. It was not until the subsequent brigade of the bandits entered the camp that the two camps of the last generals were killed. If the bandits had many armored soldiers, even if it was a camp, the two camps of the last generals could not be able to stop them."

"Strange thing, Wu Lian is short of iron and money. How did Zhang Zhi's son get the iron armor? How many secrets are hidden in this little clerk?"

Chen Can muttered to himself, and then after thinking for a while, Chen Can made up his mind and said, "Immediately, the entire army will be ordered to have a great feast for the soldiers tonight, so that our soldiers can prepare for the decisive battle! If Zhang Zhi's son really dares to leave the city tomorrow, we will fight to the death with him!"

Liu Huan and Su Ding quickly sang their promises, and Chen Can said again: "I understand and tell our soldiers that there is probably only one chance for us to fight the decisive battle with Zhang Zhi's thief army in the field. So tomorrow we will be on the battlefield, we must fight bravely and fight to defeat Zhang Zhi's thief army in one battle! Tomorrow's war, whether it is beheading or captives, the reward will be given three times! Those who capture Zhang Zhi's children will be rewarded with 500,000 yuan, and will be promoted to three levels!"

"All rewards are given three times? And such a high reward?" Zeng Kai said in surprise: "Prince, isn't our burden of money and food too much?"

"I don't care about that much!" Chen Can frowned and said, "Zhang Zhi's son has too much food in his hands. It is impossible for the siege of the city to cut off food and trap the dead thieves. If the stalemate continues, our money and food expenses are destined to be greater, and there is also the possibility of being consumed by Zhang Zhi's son. Therefore, we can only encourage our morale as much as possible and ensure that we can win the decisive battle tomorrow!"

Needless to say, because the entire county of Jingke is a poor place, after Chen Can's three-fold reward and huge reward were announced, the soldiers of Jingke County were indeed full of joy, and they were all ready to prepare for the battle, waiting for tomorrow to show their skills on the battlefield, killing enemies and capturing prisoners as much as possible in exchange for rewards far exceeding the usual ones. The slogan of capturing Zhang Zhi alive also rang out in the county camp early.

…………

While the troops of Ke County were preparing for the war, Wu Lian Han Army was of course preparing for the second day's decisive battle. With only fourteen garrison troops in his hands, Zhang Zhi also decided to dispatch eleven garrison troops early to bet on this decisive battle with the county soldiers whose troops had dropped to fifteen garrison troops after division. It was indeed a gamble. Once the bet lost, the poor Wu Lian Han army would not even have a chance to make a comeback.

In addition, in order to make up for his weakness of not having any command in front of the front, Zhang Zhi also decided to adopt the tactic of central breakthrough, arrange the army into a conical formation, and do not make any tactical changes. He just took the vanguard with elite combat soldiers, attacked the front of the county soldiers' positions in groups, and directly attacked the county soldiers' flag formation. To capture the thief, first capture the king and take down the county soldiers' command system, and then disrupted them with a complete disruption and eliminated the two wings of the county soldiers.

Zhao Quan and Zhu Xiang, who were born in the treasury chief, also had no experience in commanding large-scale formation battles. Fu Gongze had less experience than them. They all knew that competing with county soldiers to change tactical changes is a way to die, so they all agreed with Zhang Zhi's frontal breakthrough tactics that did not require tactical changes. Wu Ma, who was slightly stronger in this regard, did not object, but just asked: "Ming Court, frontal breakthroughs are the most important thing, and the elite vanguards are. Who do you plan to lead the army as the vanguard?"

"Of course it's you." Zhang Zhi immediately replied: "Your direct troops are all veterans of county soldiers. Not only are they the most combat experience and the strongest combat power. Only by letting you play the vanguard can we tear open the gap in the county soldiers' positions and open our way of advancing. So tomorrow you will lead the direct troops to be in front and serve as our knife tip. Zhu Xiang leads three troops to the second team, Fu Gong and I lead three troops to the third team, and Zhao Quan leads four troops to the rear team."

"Xie Mingting trusted him." Wu Ma bowed and said hesitantly: "But..., but...."

"I want to ask if the paper armor is equipped with you, right?" Zhang Zhi smiled and said, "We now have more than 600 sets of paper armor, and we will give my personal soldiers a small amount. All your direct troops are equipped with paper armor. The remaining five gate troops have paper armor. Zhu Xiang and Fu Gong each equipped two gate teams, which are used to protect the two wings."

"Zhao Quan is a little aggrieved. He can only equip your direct garrison team with paper armor. But you have to remember that I definitely trust you, so I handed over my back to you. In addition, all your remaining garrison teams are equipped with leather armor. If the remaining soldiers can equip your garrison, try to equip your garrison as much as possible. If the leather armor is really not enough, then use color armor instead."

"Ming Court, are you so trusting the generals?" Wu Ma asked excitedly: "Are you not afraid that the soldiers under the generals are all surrendered by the county soldiers, so they are unreliable?"

"I can trust you." Zhang Zhi said in a deep voice: "I believe that with your ability, even if the county soldiers surrendered have any unfair intentions, you can suppress them."

Wu Ma stopped talking, but just knelt down on one knee to Zhang Zhi and bowed solemnly. Zhang Zhi personally left the seat and helped him up, patted his shoulder and said, "Please, whether you can take down the county military flag formation tomorrow depends on your performance."

Wu Ma still said nothing and nodded vigorously again. Zhang Zhize smiled and said, "I almost forgot a big thing. After I go back, I remember to tell our soldiers. I said that when I have breakfast tomorrow morning, I will give them a surprise."

"Ming Court, what surprise?" Zhao Quan asked curiously.

"Sold a secret first, you will know tomorrow." Zhang Zhi said with a smile.

After a lot of pre-war preparations, in the early morning of the next day, Zhang Zhi fulfilled his promise and indeed gave the Han army soldiers a big surprise, allowing a superb delicacy that had never appeared before to appear in front of every Han army soldier. This delicacy is nothing else, it was exactly what Zhang Zhi did not get to taste in the 21st century - Master Kong Suda Noodle Restaurant!

"My God! What a big beef! This is called beef noodle, this is called beef noodle!"

"I always thought that the instant noodles we used to eat were already the best food in the world! Today I realized that there are instant noodles with better and more meat in this world!"

"There is still a bowl. I'll leave this bowl for me in the future!"

"After eating this bowl of beef noodles, I'm not afraid of any wars!"

When the Han army soldiers cheered in the Suda Noodle House, greater good news spread quickly among the Han army. Zhang Zhi announced in public that after his victory and returned from triumphant victory today, every Han army soldier could still eat a bowl of Suda Noodle House. At the same time, every beheaded on the battlefield, he could switch to two bowls of Suda Noodle House. For every captive captured, he could receive a huge reward from the Three Bowls of Suda Noodle House!

Then without saying anything, after hearing Zhang Zhi's decision, the Han army soldiers were of course cheering, their morale was boiling, and their fighting spirit was extremely high. None of them, including the surrendered soldiers of the county under Wu Ma, were eager to leave the city immediately and fight to the death with the county soldiers, chopping their heads and captives to exchange for Suda Noodle House.

It was not over yet. After eating the Suda Noodle Restaurant with a large amount of meat, when the Han army soldiers began to line up to get out of the city, their companions who stayed in the city brought boxes of small raccoon noodles and distributed four packs to each Han army soldier who went out of the city to fight, so that they could take out the simplified noodles with seasonings to fill their hunger during the battle, and gain the physical strength to continue fighting. This, of course, later became the standard equipment for the Han army soldiers during the battle.

After completing the distribution of the plain noodles and arranged the queue for leaving the city, Zhang Zhi did not rush to order the door to open the city, but chose to ride a horse through the Han army and delivered a loud speech: "Dear soldiers, great Han soldiers, today, we are going to go out of the city to fight the enemy in a decisive battle! The enemy is very strong, and both weapons and equipment, and combat experience are much stronger than us. After we leave the city, there will definitely be many people who will never be able to return to the city!"

"But we have no choice! Because if we don't go out of the city and fight to the death, we will always be blocked by the enemy. We can't repay our hands by just being beaten. Sooner or later, we will be attacked by the endless enemy, cut off our heads, humiliate our wives and daughters, and robbed our instant noodles! If we want to survive, we want to protect our wives and children, protect our instant noodles, and revival of Yizhou and revive the Han Dynasty, we have only one way!"

"This method is to go out of the city and fight to the death with the enemies outside the city! Defeat them, save our vulgarity, save our lives, our wives and children, and also save the fire of the revival of our Han Dynasty! For the sake of the Han Dynasty, our families, and our instant noodles, the soldiers, fight bravely! If we kill the enemy, our Han Dynasty will have hope of revival!"

"Kill--!" Fu Gong was the first to raise his arms and shout.

"Kill--!" Zhao Quan, Zhu Xiang, Wu Ma and many grassroots generals of the Han army shouted in unison.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The Han soldiers responded neatly, constantly raising the weapons in their hands and shouted loudly. Zhang Zhi nodded with satisfaction, then turned his horse's head, ran to the south gate city, shouting loudly: "Open the door and leave the city!"

The heavy and solid city gate slowly opened. The last red Chinese-character flag on the land of China fluttered in the wind. More than 1,100 Han soldiers arranged neatly, wearing armor made of instant noodles packaging boxes and plastic bags. Carrying the most primitive sixteen pine cannons, they walked out of the south gate of Wulian, walked towards the county barracks five miles south, and also towards the first decisive battle that the Wulian Han army had launched on the front since the announcement of the revolt.

After the situation was quickly reported to Chen Can, Chen Can, who was mentally prepared, did not hesitate and immediately ordered: "Get out of the camp and fight to the death with the Zhang Zhi rebels! Let these mobs know how big the gap between the regular army and them!"
Chapter completed!
