If Zhuge Liang Were Given 100,000 Jin of Beef Intestines, Could the Chancellor Succeed in the Northern Expedition?🔥

Beef intestines are a pain to preserve. Hauling grain along the Shu roads was hard enough as it was—by the time a hundred thousand catties reached the front lines, it would already be rotten. That risk is far greater than charging straight at Sima Yi.

Hold off on firing up the wok—first figure out how many ounces each person gets before you start talking about charging in.

There's one thing I'd like to confirm—when you say "one pot per person," how many troops is that based on? During the Northern Expeditions, Shu Han's total military strength was only around a hundred thousand. If it really was divided as one pot per person, a hundred thousand jin of beef intestines might only last a few meals, and there'd be no way to sustain it until the standoff with Sima Yi. Looking at it another way, maybe it wasn't meant to be eaten, but rather used as city-defense supplies or as a means to disrupt the enemy army?

So is this beef intestine raw or already braised? If it's raw, what kind of pot and firewood would the front line use to cook it?

Just beef intestines with no staple food—you can't keep that up for long, no matter how much you eat.
