Chapter 82 Zhang Fei: Why is the elder brother so confused!(1/3)
Mid-February of the lunar calendar!
Since the beginning of spring, the new year's spring plowing has begun in the entire Yanzhou, or to be precise in most of the Han Dynasty.
Cao Cao has already begun planning to attack Xuzhou. The entire Yanzhou is like a large machine running, and every second counts.
In addition to inspecting the spring plowing fields as usual, Xi Yu spent the rest of the time training the soldiers in the transport camp.
The current training intensity is slightly weaker than before, but the intensity is still stronger than other camps.
At this moment, there are quite a few wild pigs raised in the military camp.
In one month, the wild pig that was initially castrated has gained a lot of weight.
"After this morning, let's kill those fat and strong wild pigs!"
Looking at the soldiers who were still struggling with training, Xi Yu thought for a while and decided to take advantage of this time to directly replenish the food for the soldiers.
Those adult wild pigs, after a period of breeding, are almost time to slaughter.
Except for those piglets that can continue to be raised, there is no need to continue raising these adult wild pigs.
Killing saves trouble.
“Is wild pig meat really edible?”
Dian Wei didn't believe it. After hearing that Xi Yu planned to kill those wild pigs to supplement the meat for everyone, Dian Wei shook his head like a rattle.
Zhao Yun doesn't have any objections.
The Huotou Army in the baggage camp did not have much resistance to what Xi Yu ordered.
Although wild pig meat has a bit of a fishy smell, it is still meat after all. The entire military camp has not eaten meat for a long time.
After the brothers' current training, they are already a little unable to hold on.
Meat supplement is better than nothing.
The process of killing the pig was extremely smooth. After a few heart-rending wails, the series of processes was over.
The cooks in the camp are all veterans, and their knife skills are superb, and the pork has been cut up in no time.
Xi Yu directed the other party to start dealing with the pork issue.
Not long after, the pork had been processed.
Later, he led several cooks and personally told them how to make delicious pork.
Although there are not too many seasonings in this era, there are still some.
Although the process of boiling meat in white water is extremely simple, the processed pork no longer has much odor.
When the aroma of pork began to reverberate in the camp, the soldiers had already left their saliva in their mouths.
"Gudong!"
Dian Wei's throat couldn't help but roll. He looked at the large pieces of pork in his bowl and his heart couldn't help but beat wildly.
Didn’t you say that pork is a bit sour and smelly? Why does it smell so good now?
The rest of the soldiers couldn't bear it for a long time. After the pork was divided, someone finally couldn't help but taste it first.
As the first person began to eat pork, the second person followed, and then the third person.
The sound of people banging and banging their mouths could be heard in the camp.
Until Dian Wei looked up and saw Zhao Yun also squinting his eyes and starting to eat pork, he couldn't bear it anymore.
After stuffing the fatty meat into my mouth, the expected smell did not appear.
It's even a little soft and waxy, and the entrance is extremely smooth.
Before Dian Wei could taste it, his throat rolled unsatisfactorily, and the pork in his mouth rolled down his throat.
"This?"
"What?"
Xi Yu turned his head and glanced at Dian Wei, who was a little stunned. The latter's eyes were obviously stunned at this moment.
The expression on that face is particularly wonderful.
"Is this really pork belly?"
It was hard for Dian Wei to believe that if he hadn't watched those people kill the master with his own eyes, he would have basically watched the subsequent series of processes.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to believe that what he just ate was pork.
However, the taste that exploded on his taste buds was so tempting that he was still in a trance.
"Didn't I say before that as long as pork is processed properly, it is very delicious? When have I ever lied to you?"
Xi Yu smiled and said to Dian Wei that the pork in the camp was divided among 3,000 people, but in fact, each person's bowl was not much.
Seeing that Dian Wei didn't seem to taste it, Xi Yu took out the pieces of meat from his bowl and put them in Dian Wei's bowl.
"Try again?"
Seeing Xi Yu put the pork in his bowl, Dian Wei did not hesitate. This time he put it in his mouth and did not make a sound for a long time.
Wild pigs can be eaten!
It even tastes better than beef!
This kind of thing spread quickly in the military camp!
Many people didn't believe it at first, but along with 3,000 people, they started to spread the word, and the smell of meat cooking in the supply camp had already spread to other camps.
This matter began to spread faster.
"Is pork really edible?"
Inside the camp, Cao Cao was in a daze for a moment when he heard the news coming from Cao Cao's camp.
However, this thing should be true.
Thinking that Xi Yu had worked hard to acquire and raise these wild boars before, he knew that wild pigs were edible.
But, is it really as delicious as rumored?
Not even as good as beef.
Cao Cao doesn't believe this kind of thing!
However, the pork thing is just an episode after all.
After spring plowing began, Cao Jun's camp had already begun planning the war against Xuzhou.
Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan returned to Xuzhou long ago, waiting for Cao Cao's army to reorganize and set off.
The whole of Xuzhou seems to be in turmoil because of this.
Inside Cao Jun’s camp.
"Fengyi, do you want to accompany the army in this battle?"
After getting ready, Cao Cao asked Xi Yu if he wanted to go to Xuzhou with the army.
"My lord has forgotten, this time I am in charge of the supply camp, so I will naturally follow you to Xuzhou, but this time my lord should go first!"
After hearing Xi Yu's response, Cao Cao seemed to have come to his senses.
"Oh, I almost forgot, Fengyi is now in charge of the supply camp!"
"Since I am responsible for food and grass matters, I have nothing to worry about!"
According to the original plan, when the army went on an expedition in this era, food and grass would go first, but because of the emergence of wheelbarrows and other things for transporting food and grass.

Xiyu is not in a hurry to go ahead.
The next day, after Cao Cao took Xi Zhicai and led the army to the expedition, he was still in Yanzhou unhurriedly checking on spring plowing and other matters.
If he remembered correctly, historical records record that in the first year of Xingping, there was a severe drought in the world, and it was even worse in Guanzhong.
This severe drought caused the Sili area to be the most severely affected, and Yanzhou, Xuzhou and other states also suffered heavy losses.
There is no need to worry too much about spring plowing in Yanzhou now. There are waterwheels and the like. Even if there is a severe drought, Yanzhou can guarantee a harvest.
……
Yanzhou Chenliu!
Hearing that Cao Cao's army had already set off, Zhang Miao was in an unprecedented mood.
"Gongtai, we need to be careful about what we do!"
After saying something to Chen Gong, Zhang Miao was now more nervous than before.
Now that Cao Cao's army has gone out to fight, it proves that he has no doubts about him. He only needs to wait for the war in Xuzhou to begin.
Once the plan goes well, capturing Yanzhou shouldn't be a problem.
"I have contacted the Yanzhou nobles in recent days. They have also been grudges against Cao Cao for a long time."
