A whole day’s march, everybody was tired. To top it off they had not yet eaten any food, how would they have any strength to fight if there was a night raid? Moreover late night meals will be harder to digest and will affect their rest.
“Yes!” Cheng Yu nodded.
Liu Mang had already assigned most of his prey to his divisions. He kept and sent his wild chicken leg to army doctor to make chicken soup for He sisters to eat. Military provisions really unpalatable, they said it was edible, but it was a mix of barley, flour and rice husk! These three mixed together then became the so called “edible” rations. Its taste was not that different than hard bread, sometimes they added cockroach and insect to spice up the menu.
But this kind of meal, was already good for that of soldier, because at least these rations can make them survive a bit longer. In this age, what is the reason one become soldier? It is not to protect one's home or defend ones country. It also not for bestowing title and leaving inheritance to their descendants, but it is to eat until your belly is full!
In this time of chaos, one only became a soldier if they wanted to eat to their hearts content.
However, these fine gentlemen did not become a soldier of their own volition, but because of their situation. So if one soldier died in war, there is always a replacement for them, because in this age everyone wanted to eat until they dropped dead.
90% of the Generals from ancient times came from a noble family. Poor people normally do not become generals, but a single general led an army of 10 thousand soldiers. So all the soldiers most likely came from poor families. Only 1 out of 10 generals came from poor families.
After Lu Mang finished eating he ordered his soldiers to build a cage for the two tigers cubs. Liu Mang then returned to his own tent and because of the built up exhaustion he fell asleep almost immediately.
Today he fought tiger, did first aid, and successfully repelled the ravenous urges of a virgin. He was exhausted both physically and mentally.
While Liu Mang slept, he do not know that the two girls he rescued today were thinking about him with full curiosity “What kind of a person is he?!”
