According to legend, in 12 17, 200,000 Mongolian elite cavalry marched to the west and crossed the Gilkum Desert, which is 880 kilometers long from east to west and 450 kilometers wide from north to south. Military food in the desert and bad weather have become the biggest obstacles. However, the situation was not smooth, the initial connection failed, and the enemy was very miserable. One winter day, General Huiyuan's troops camped in the hinterland of the desert, and the cooks began to bury their stoves to cook. It was extremely cold, so Huiyuan told the cook to heat some milk. The cook dared not neglect, so he set up a pot to heat the milk first. Don't want to, spies to report, the enemy soldiers suddenly attack, only fifteen miles away. Huiyuan's emergency soldiers immediately left everything behind and retreated at full speed. At this time, as soon as the milk gets hot, the chef suggests putting the hot milk in a bucket to take away. Huiyuan was furious after hearing this and shouted at the chef, "I can't save my life, and I still have the heart to drink milk." As he said this, he immediately kicked over a big pot. The cooks trembled with fear and immediately retreated with the troops.
Washing milk powder with water is milk. The enemy cavalry will arrive soon, and Hui Yuan is worried because the troops retreat too slowly. Suddenly, he had a plan. He called the vanguard officer and ordered him to immediately lead 200 cavalry to meet the enemy first and told him to hide first. When he saw the enemy cavalry, he immediately circled in the same place, raised the sand, and then fled east to distract them. Pioneer officers were ordered to go to meet the enemy immediately according to Huiyuan's instructions, and Huiyuan and his men continued to retreat. Fortunately, Huiyuan deceived the enemy by a diversion. A few hours later, the spies came to report that the pioneer officer had led the enemy 70 miles eastward, and Huiyuan was relieved. At this time, he has organized a retreat of 40 miles, but dare not neglect it. He ordered the troops to continue to retreat until they retreated to the valley 200 miles away, that is, three days later. The army is not strong enough to retreat. Huiyuan estimated that there would be no more enemy soldiers here, so he ordered the troops to stop and have a rest.
The troops retreated urgently, and all the materials were left in the camp. Now there is nothing, so Huiyuan had to order the chef to kill Ma Xian to fill her stomach. Two days later, half of the troops have been killed, and the fighting capacity of the troops will be gone if they continue to kill, but the troops have no supplies and can only wait for death here. After thinking about it all night, Hui Yuan decided to go back the way he came. Since the vanguard officer led the enemy away and the enemy didn't catch up, it means that the enemy should not have found the place where they camped. If we go back now, maybe all the materials are there. To be on the safe side, he sent a spy to inquire about the situation first. As he expected, the camp is still there and has not been destroyed. Huiyuan was very happy and immediately ordered the troops to return to camp.
A few days later, the troops returned to the camp. Huiyuan is very happy. Although she walked for ten days, the camp was intact. The first thing a chef does is to cook. Those dozens of cauldrons are still there, but there is a thick yellow layer at the bottom of each cauldron. Huiyuan is so thirsty, I came here to ask if I can drink milk. The sergeant said yes, but she had to wash the pot before cooking. Huiyuan saw this, and there was a thick yellow layer at the bottom of the pot. Huiyuan asked what it was, and the cook guessed, and replied that it should be the last time to cook milk, and only the milk was dry. Huiyuan can't wait, let the cook find water to brush it clean.
Even when the chef poured water into the pot and stirred it, Huiyuan found that the milk powder in the pot melted quickly after adding water and became milky milk, which immediately caught his attention. He immediately took a sip and found it tasted like milk. Like discovering the new continent, he ordered the sergeant not to touch the milk powder in other pots, add water to heat it, and then give it to a battalion of soldiers first.
