Ma Teng and Zhang Hu also breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, if there was a fight, they might not have a chance of winning, and they would inevitably end up in panic and embarrassment.

"You can retreat for a while, but you can't last long." Sima Yi said: "How can Cao Ren be willing to suffer this loss and swallow this breath!"

Ma Teng's heart moved slightly and said: "What will he do?!"

"He will definitely make a fuss about Yuan Tan!" Sima Yi said: "Yuan Shang has withdrawn from this place, leaving Yuan Tan like a headless fly, trapped in it but not knowing how to start. If such a person does not take advantage, who else will

Can it be used?!"

Ma Teng frowned and said: "At this point, how can Yuan Tan still be used by Cao Ren?!"

Is there something wrong with this person’s brain?!

Ma Teng really didn't understand, and even found it baffling. Fortunately, Yuan Shao used his power to suppress others. Although he was timid, he did not really surrender to Yuan Shao. Otherwise, if he had to follow Yuan Tan today, this suffocating operation would also be

It’s quite speechless.

When Sima Yi said this, he didn't say much anymore. He obviously knew what Yuan Tan would do but didn't say anything.

He only asked Ma Teng and Zhang Hu to be on guard.

Zhang Yang is also keeping an eye on the defense. If there is no problem with Ma Teng and Zhang Hu, if there is a problem with his logistics, it will be a big shame!

Ma Teng murmured: "How will Yuan Tan react? Will he be excited?!"

Zhang Yang also sighed to his subordinates in private: "Giving a son is like giving birth to a pig. If the son is unworthy, it will be a disaster. I think that Yuan Shao was also a powerful leader at the time, and when he saw that he was so powerful that he could compete in the world, he never expected it.

, after his death, his son became even more miserable..."

Zhang Yang felt worried and said: "It can be seen that if there is no virtuous son among his sons, it is best to rest his thoughts as soon as possible."

Take him for example. All his sons were sent to Xuzhou. None of them are good cowards. Go to Xuzhou and learn how to hug your thighs. Don’t think about anything else. People, you must first recognize your own weight. These days

That’s so much better!

If you are too ambitious and your abilities don’t match, you might as well kill yourself with a piece of tofu!

Speaking of tofu, Zhang Yang gnawed on a piece of dried tofu. I have to say that Xuzhou's material supply is really strong. This military ration is really hungry. I don't know how it was made, but it can be compressed in a vacuum bamboo tube.

, as long as there is no leakage, it will not go bad. Because it is cooked food, and you are very hungry, it saves a lot of time in cooking. The bodies of the sergeants are getting stronger day by day.

Cao Jun and the others also have to cook, which takes a lot of time every day and requires a lot of water and firewood, which is actually a huge disadvantage.

Cooking requires water, time, and firewood. Sometimes the food is not enough and can only be cooked thin. People are hungry most of the day, which is very tragic.

This tofu product is actually made of beans, but it is more delicious and convenient than bean rice. The most important thing is that it saves time.

For other things, such as dried vegetables, you only need to sprinkle a handful of them and boil them in a pot, and you can drink them all you want. You don’t even need to add salt, it is prepared with salt. If you can find bird eggs, crack them in and you will have a pot of delicious food.<

/p>

Bamboo cans are such a great invention. I don’t know how they came up with it. They even put rice, steamed vegetables, and meat inside. You can open them and eat them during the march. This is during the march and war.

It’s really powerful!

Zhang Yang thought that doing logistics also had logistical benefits. At least he didn’t have to worry about food and drink.

When he goes to Xuzhou in the future, if he takes charge of a piece of it, how much power and wealth will it be. If he can turn this military grain business into civilian use and sell it to those who are doing business and sleeping rough, the profits will be made...

Therefore, the most important thing is to survive until the end. If you die in the middle, it will be all in vain!

At nightfall, Zhang Hu arranged his troops and horses, and heard thunder in the sky. He frowned, came to see Sima Yi, and said, "Military advisor, I'm afraid it's going to rain."

"Put up the tent quickly!" Sima Yi said: "It's bitterly cold in the wild. If it rains, there will be waterlogging. Be careful."

Zhang Hu agreed and hurried away.

The counselors said: "This rain has alleviated the water shortage in Ye City. It is beneficial to Cao Ren's garrison..."

"It is both beneficial and harmful. If there is a lot of rain and the river rises, even if Cao Ren is not miserable and there is no water in the city for his people and horses to drink, it does not matter whether he can sleep or not because the river water is not in his hands." Sima Yi said with a smile: "

Just wait, the longer it takes, the better. He can be anxious, but our army cannot be anxious."

All the counselors thought so.

He smiled and said: "What the military adviser said is absolutely true. When soldiers come, they will be blocked, and when water comes, the soil will drown. It depends on who can stay until the end. I think Xudu will also make progress. As long as the lord and the female master can have good news, what can Cao Ren do?!

No matter how strong he was at that time, he could not prevent this situation. The army in front of the formation has always been unable to make decisions independently. After all, it depends on the rear."

Sima Yi walked to the tent and looked at the sky outside. There happened to be a downpour of rain falling, and the sound of the rain came to his ears, which was a bit noisy.

The soldiers outside were hurriedly putting up rainproof shelters for the horses, coming and going in a hurry, it was very hectic!

The soldier took a pair of boots and said, "Commander, please put on these boots."

The counselors looked at the boots with some envy. Don't get me wrong, it's not because of how valuable they are. It's not the kind of Shu brocade inlaid with pearls or gold, jade and ivory that the emperor rewarded. It's because they are extremely rare.<

/p>

It is a pair of rain boots, the kind of rain boots that are very common in later generations and cost ten yuan a pair. The handicrafts of this era are extremely rare. They are formed in one piece. There are only a few hundred pairs available so far. Except for a few people who have one pair, others want to

If you want it, you have to wait for more to be produced. As for saying that every soldier will distribute it, that is impossible. It is not possible for the time being.

Because its material is extremely rare!

It is made of the gum from the rubber tree, and rubber trees do not exist in the Central Plains, nor in the south. Xuzhou got it because Lu Xian wanted people to go overseas to find this kind of tree, and then bought it back in large quantities.
p>

There are many trees in the local area, and it is very cheap to harvest the gum. A little grain or a little salt can be exchanged for a lot of them.

Only a few are made into rain boots for marching. Most of them are made into rainproof military equipment for military use. Therefore, very few people have such boots.

Sima Yi got a pair, and the others naturally showed admiration.

After all, in the Central Plains now, you can only walk barefoot on rainy days, and completely rain-proof shoes do not exist. Even if the nobles can use animal skins to make rain-proof shoes, they cannot be completely integrated. More or less, it is still possible.

Affected by the leather, it is impossible to completely prevent rain once the water is deep.

So this kind of rain boots, which is very common in later generations, is like an artifact here. They have never seen it before.

"There are such magical tree species in the world..." A counselor smiled and said: "It's a pity that the tree species cannot be transplanted back."

"It's just that there is nowhere to plant it for the time being. If we take over the south in the future, the southern Niaoyu Island will have a humid climate. It will not be difficult to plant such a tree that loves warmth." Another person laughed and said, "By then, this tree will be planted."

Once the tree is grown, there is endless supply, and there is no shortage of shoes in the army and even the common people..."

For the Central Plains, the south is really not suitable for planting. It’s too damn hot. Wouldn’t it be beautiful to plant trees?!

Then plant some fruit trees and some cash crops like sugar cane. That kind of climate is the most suitable.

The south in later generations is the south after development. The rest is still suitable for living and survival, but now, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a virgin forest.

It’s humid and hot, and there are many obstacles and wild animals. It’s a place where people hate dogs.

If not, why have the Central Plains fought for this place for thousands of years, fighting to the death and endlessly? It’s not because life is the best here!

In this era, the forests are lush and lush, and elephants even live in the Central Plains. This is still the case in the Central Plains, let alone the South.

But isn’t this difficult to deal with now?! Jiangdong has not been captured yet. Therefore, the rubber trees cannot be transplanted back for the time being. They can only be brought back by merchant ships. However, merchant ships are limited, and there are also other goods to be traded, so this thing

It seems so precious.

Sima Yi didn't care whether he wore them or not. He smiled and said: "Such precious shoes, just put them away. How can Yi be willing to wear them and ruin them? If they were damaged, wouldn't he feel even more distressed?!"

The counselors can also understand, after all, there is only one pair.

They stepped forward to observe it for a while, marveled at it, and sighed with emotion that it was full of wonders in the world. Then they watched the soldiers put it away.

"I heard that using this item to make shoes is quite wasteful, so I only made a few hundred pairs. Except for one pair for a meritorious person, the others are all for military use." A counselor said to Sima Yi: "As the military advisor knows, this item is the largest

The use of it is to make tires. I heard that if it is fully inflated and installed on a carriage, it will not be too bumpy and it will be smooth when walking on the ground. I don't know what it will be like, but it is a pity that I can't see it with my own eyes right now..."

Sima Yi just smiled and listened.

"Although it is not bumpy, we still have to rely on the road. In the future, it is important to cultivate the road. Otherwise, it will be too tiring to have to carry the carriage and horse across the mountains and rivers when encountering a roadblock." A counselor said.

Another person murmured: "Although this thing is not unstable, it still relies on horse-drawn carriages to move. Its value in the military is actually not very high..."

"Since ancient times, horse-drawn carts have been used. How can a car drive on its own?!"

We were all joking for a while, this was something unimaginable.

Sima Yi lowered his eyelids. The longer the time passed, the more mysterious he felt in Xuzhou. The worldly things that Lu Xian knew were not from this world. There were many books in Sima's collection, but none of them mentioned rubber trees.

How did she know?!

Maybe this is the magical thing about gods descending from heaven.

Sima Yi felt a little sad in his heart. He glanced at the sky where he couldn't see anything clearly. There was only the sound of rain. There was an invisible sky in front of him and the confusion in his heart. So, as a human, who can see

Where is Qing Tianyi?! He felt very lost and at a loss.

Nowadays, there is no longer any unwillingness to get what you want, but only the helplessness of facing reality!

Lu Bu's cards were indeed messed up by him, and with a father like this, Lu Xian's cards may not be as good as Yuan Shao's. However, she is self-disciplined, has strength, and has all kinds of little tricks.

The accumulation of these is a terrifying amount. She is also broad-minded, can tolerate others, and has her own strategies for the situation and war. Sima Yi does not know how bleak and helpless his future will be while she is alive.<

/p>

I can only live under her light.

Everything in Xuzhou was brought to life by her. Who could have imagined it at the beginning?!
