That night, Duan Yixu dismissed all the soldiers guarding the grain and grass, and let Shen Wu and Duan Yuan and his party watch, while he took Beibei to check the camps one by one, leaving only the grain and grass in the two camps. The grain and grass soldiers called back and continued to stay where they were, and ordered them not to allow anyone to step into the camp, including themselves.

The next day, Duan Yixu sent dozens of soldiers to Beibei, and asked a local commoner to teach them how to grow potatoes, and sent two thousand soldiers to open up wasteland in the nearby fields.

On the second day after the soldiers opened up wasteland, the news spread that the grain and grass delivered by the imperial court to the army had been burned halfway, and the soldiers in the army began to become restless.

General Lin and other ten generals came to Duan Yixu anxiously after the reassurance was ineffective: "Marshal, this is really not the way to go, our army is in a mess now, if the Beihe army finds out the news and sneaks in, we will suffer a lot! "

"You just need to tell everyone that our existing rations are enough to last until the arrival of the next batch of military rations, and there is no need to say anything else!" Duan Yixu said without changing his expression.

Mei Xining had already been captured and taken to a secret place and locked up. Except for the dozen or so generals and the hundreds of soldiers under General Lin, no one else in the battalion knew about the burning of food, so Duan Yixu heard After the news was leaked, people were sent to investigate, only to find out that there was still someone from Deng Changrui in the camp, but that person can no longer speak now.

Of course, apart from these two people, there may be people from Deng Changrui in the camp, but Duan Yixu will never let them affect the overall situation.

"Marshal, can the existing rations in our army really last until the arrival of the next batch of rations?" General Lin and others doubted.

"The commander-in-chief said yes, you just need to pass on the news. The commander-in-chief will not let the soldiers starve!"

Hearing Duan Yixu's categorical words, General Lin and the others believed it, but...

"Marshal, if what you said is true, why did you ask the soldiers to open up wasteland and grow potatoes?"

"This is a rainy day!" Duan Yixu glanced lightly at the dozen or so soldiers in front of him, and said, "This is a small move to guard against the enemy!"

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized, and the worries on their faces were swept away: "Marshal, it's still your thoughtfulness!"

"Okay, you all go down."

After General Lin and others left, Duan Yixu went back to his tent and confessed to Beibei.

After Beibei handed over the child to Yu Qiu and Shen Wu, she went into the space and took out the cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks that Guanshi Tian had killed in advance from the storage hole. She also killed dozens of sheep and made some spicy sauce. After the material came out, he and the cook made dinner for the soldiers.

Because there was no war, the soldiers only ate two meals a day. The meal they ate at about [-]:[-] in the morning was steamed buns with porridge, and the dinner at [-]:[-] in the afternoon was half-dry and half-wet rice with pickles. Occasionally there were festivals. From time to time, each person will add one or two pieces of meat.

But today, when the soldiers came back from the field, they found that what they got was a bowl of pure dry rice. In addition to pickled vegetables, each had two pieces of beef and two pieces of mutton, which made the soldiers ecstatic.

Everyone discussed while eating: "It seems that the news that the grain and grass were burned should be false, otherwise how can we cook for us?"

"Can't you?" Another soldier said, "General Luo and the others didn't deny it."

"I think it's true that the rations were burned, but the marshal said that our current rations can last until the next batch of military rations arrives, so this should be true." Another soldier said.

"It's possible. Our Marshal never speaks groundless words. I believe in Marshal!" Several soldiers echoed with reverence.

"That's right, the Marshal said so, it must be true!"

"That is, if there is not enough food, how can you give us extra meals?"

"Yes, it must be so!"

"..."

"..."

On the second night, the soldiers ate bibimbap with mushroom and fish sauce. The soldiers hadn’t tasted the smell of fish for a long time, and the mushroom and fish sauce made by Beibei was delicious. The news of being burned is becoming less and less important.

On the third night, the soldiers ate vegetarian ham and pickled vegetable bibimbap.

Although it was not meat, it was the first time for the soldiers to eat this food, and with the addition of the sauce made by Beibei, the soldiers were satisfied again, and their hearts became more stable.

In the evening, Duan Yixu and Luo Yiqing returned to the tent after talking about the matter, and saw their two sons lying on the inside of the bed playing, Yu Qiushou watched from the side of the bed, and Beibei fell asleep on the outside of the bed.

Just as Yu Qiu was about to speak out, Duan Yixu made a silent gesture to her, signaling her to take the child out.

Yu Qiu first handed Dabao the camp tent to Shen Wen, then came in and carried Erbao out.

Duan Yixu put down the tent curtain and sat down on the edge of the bed.

As soon as he sat down, the person on the bed opened his eyes as if in response.

Seeing the person beside the bed, Beibei blinked, and her voice was lax when she just woke up: "You're back?"

Duan Yixu caressed her slightly haggard cheek with a big palm, and said distressedly: "Are you tired these days?"

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, these past few nights she was either cooking sauce for the soldiers in the space, making vegetarian ham for the soldiers, planting vegetables in the space, and taking care of the children during the day, and she was exhausted. Duan Yixu had nothing but To be touched is full of distress and guilt.

Even if other people get married and have children, they can at least give their wives and children a stable environment, even if they cannot give them a prosperous life; but he left on the day they got married, and so far he has not allowed them to live a stable life. Duan Yixu felt very uncomfortable for worrying about it all day long and letting her suffer for him.

Meeting his apologetic eyes, Beibei couldn't help but cast a glance at him: "Don't say what I don't want to hear, these things are all things I'm willing to do!"

Duan Yixu was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "And you know what I'm going to say?"

She glanced at him angrily, and moved her body inward: "It's all written on my face, I don't know yet?"

Duan Yixu took off his armor and lay down, and brought her into his arms. She rubbed against his arms, and after finding a comfortable position, she asked, "Are both Da Bao and Er Bao asleep?"

She has been very busy in the past few nights, and Yu Qiu and Shen Wen are taking care of Da Bao and Er Bao.

"Not yet, I asked Yu Qiu to carry her over. You should rest well tonight." Duan Yixu's pityful voice sounded above her head.

"it is good."

Ever since she learned that the grain and grass had been burned, she had stored a lot of fresh vegetables in the storage hole. Tomorrow, she planned to cook some fresh food for the soldiers, because if the soldiers were to eat dry rice every day, the leftover food would be really expensive. It won't last long.
