In the following days, the two sides fell into a period of confrontation. At the beginning, Yuan Shao was still calm, but as the days passed, Yuan Shao's patience gradually disappeared.

"Duang, why haven't Pei Qing's son retreated?"

"My lord is calm. After all, Hanoi is next to Hedong, and Hedong is a scene between him and the Huns. We need to find a way to reduce the supply of food to the Huns. As long as we do this, I believe that Pei Qing will be out of food and withdraw his troops in the future."

Ju Su's face was very calm and he spoke slowly.

"Oh? This plan is very wonderful!" Yuan Shao was immediately overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately sent someone to take a lot of money to the Xiongnu to meet Yu Fuluo, exaggerating the comparison of advantages and disadvantages between the two sides, inducing Yu Fuluo to close the court, and if possible, loot Pei Qing's Hedong.

Not long after, Gao Rou, who was on a mission to the Huns, brought him good news. After receiving the gift, Yu Fuluo agreed to his request very happily. After hearing that Pei Qing was in trouble, Yu Fuluo was also coveting Pei Qing. After all, after a period of trade, the various materials urgently needed by the Huns could basically meet the needs. Even if there was no trade in a short period of time, it could survive. What is particularly important is that Yu Fuluo heard that Chang'an is quite prosperous now, with the people having enough food and clothing, and the market is full of various goods. In addition, he heard that Pei Qing's women are as beautiful as immortals. Even some girls who serve are all beautiful in the world. If he doesn't rob so much money and beauties, he feels sorry for himself.

However, Yu Fuluo had no idea. He did this and would have permanently lost Pei Qing's friendship from then on, which brought disaster to his tribe.

Of course, these are all later stories. Yu Fuluo could not have predicted that if he could have expected such a result, even if he was beaten to death, he would not dare to attack Pei Qing.

The reality is that the Huns suddenly announced the closure of the tentative field and led their troops to invade Hedong, which immediately caused a tense situation between the two sides. The war between the two sides did bring a relatively serious situation to Pei Qing, especially the food problem has become even more serious now.

"What? The Huns' thief dared you!" Pei Qing was furious when he heard the news. From then on, he made a secret decision. After the situation eased slightly, he must launch a storm against the Huns and make these untrustworthy people pay enough price!

But that is all a future problem. The most important thing for the moment is naturally to overcome the current predicament.

However, facing the predicament in front of us, everyone was deeply worried. This time, even Hu Zhao and Xun You, who were the best at making ideas, were at a loss.

However, Pei Qing did not have any concerns. After learning that these people were worried about food, he asked in confusion: "Are there still hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep in the city? If we make good use of it, we can persist for a while, so why bother you?"

But when Hu Zhao smiled bitterly, he said, "Although this is the case, if all these cattle and sheep are killed, we will not be able to finish eating them for a while, and in the end they will only be rotten. If all of them are not killed, how can we have enough forage to feed them? In the end, these cattle and sheep can only starve to death, and the final outcome is still the same."

"This is the problem you are worried about?" Pei Qing laughed silently and said, "Actually, this problem is not too big at all. I have a way to solve it easily."

"Oh? I wonder what the trick was?" Hu Zhao, Xun You and others were all shocked and hurriedly came over and asked together.

"Have you ever eaten bacon at my dinner party? We used this method to kill all the cattle and sheep and make them into bacon. This meat can be kept fresh for a long time and is convenient to eat. It can definitely solve our food problem, even if it lasts for a few more months, it will not be a problem."

"Bao pork? We only remember that this meat tastes delicious, but we don't know that it has such a wonderful use," Wang Can was very excited when he heard this. However, he thought about it carefully, and then said with a wry smile: "But we don't understand how this kind of bacon is made. And lord, your master Zhang Wu, did not come. Even if he was exhausted, he might not be able to make tens of thousands of cattle and sheep into bacon bit by bit, right?"

Hu Zhao, Xun You and others also agreed. They looked at Pei Qing together, wondering if Pei Qing could solve this problem.

However, Pei Qing smiled faintly and said, "This problem is actually easy to deal with, because the key technology of pickling bacon is very simple, it is just a layer of window paper, which can be penetrated by one stab. However, this can be regarded as a big secret of our army, because if others, especially those nomadic aliens, learn this technology, it will be a disaster for us. Therefore, those who only make bacon must be the people we trust the most and are good at keeping secrets. Otherwise, once this technology is leaked, it will be a huge loss to us, and this loss may even be greater than defeating Yuan Shao."

"What's so great?" Hu Zhao, Xun You and others couldn't help but look at each other, and saw a hint of solemnity from each other's eyes.

However, after some consideration, these people had already made a decision. Xun You said first: "Since that's the case, it's best for the lord's personal military camp soldiers to do this, because they are the most disciplined and loyal and reliable, and will definitely live up to their mission and will not reveal their secrets."

Pei Qing nodded and said, "I am just in this way, so I ordered the slaughter of cattle and sheep, and at the same time passed on this set of bacon only technology to them. So many people work together, it only takes half a month to complete the process of bacon production. At that time, we will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties smoothly with military rations and bacon."

"Yes, we also have enough confidence." Hu Zhao, Xun You and others all showed joy because they had the powerful technology of bacon, and they no longer had to go hungry. Moreover, they could also balance the diet and live a good life. They were much more comfortable than Yuan Shao and others.

The matter of food is a major event and urgent, so they dared to do it. Pei Qing summoned officers from the military marquis of the personal military camp and passed on the technology of making bacon to them, and asked them to transfer it to officers and soldiers at all levels under their command.

At the same time, the soldiers in the city heard a shocking news. Pei Qing suddenly ordered the slaughter of all cattle and sheep in the army within ten days, which shocked them. Although the weather is getting colder now, beef and mutton can only be guaranteed to be eaten after slaughtering for three days. Pei Qing ordered all cattle and sheep to be slaughtered within ten days, which means that after most half a month, they would have no meat to eat, and then they could only think that there was a few grains to live. In this way, they could not explain clearly when they could persist.
