The smoke from the burning cow dung floated out as the tent curtains were opened and closed, and soon disappeared into the vast night.
Surrounded by several tents, the largest and most luxurious tent in the middle can vaguely hear the sound of silk and bamboo.
The tent used to cover the tent opened a small opening, but there was no cold feeling inside. More than a dozen women wearing very little clothes were twisting their waists with the sound of the music. On the shelf, the wine inside was bubbling and gurgling non-stop.
The two people sitting on the wide felt blanket next to each other did not even have a smile on their faces at this time.
Maybe it was because the woman was not dancing well, or maybe the fire couldn’t make people warm in the cold weather. One of the two people waved, “Go down, go down, go down.”
The woman who was still dancing suddenly stopped .
, saluted almost at the same time, turned around and left with the smallest steps, fearing that the loud noise would disturb the two of them.
“It’s cold again.” The waving man waited for all the women in the tent to leave, his eyes fixed on the slightly shaking flames, and he said three words that seemed to have no meaning.
“Cows, sheep and horses also froze to death. If the snow continues to fall until tomorrow morning, it is estimated that there will be no fewer people dead. The snow is small and cold, and the snow is heavy… It will be colder in two days, and the road will not be able to walk. The
man next to him seemed to understand what the previous speaker was trying to convey, and a deep sense of helplessness appeared on his face touched by the cold wind.
The person who spoke earlier lowered his head, and after a while, the firewood in the fire suddenly made a crackling sound, and then raised his head again, his eyes turned to the front, it was the place facing south, and he said: “The north side of the Tang Dynasty The snow is not too small, and the northern part of Hebei Province, Jilizhou may be covered with ice.”
“So what? The closest to us is Fengzhou. If it was replaced by a dozen years ago, maybe a snowfall In the future, many people and livestock will die, and the connection with the outside world will be interrupted, but now you don’t need to expect them to do too much.
Datang disaster relief has always been the army first, and Fengzhou’s army is nominally returned to the people of the local prefecture. It’s up to you, who’s to say the truth? I understand that the Zhangwang family’s ability to provide goods, oh,
they don’t need to test their logistics skills. The
year before last, I remember the year before, there was also such a heavy snow, almost all fell. When I arrived in Fengzhou, what was the result? After half a month, the supermarket in the city of Fengzhou not only had enough food, but also sold fresh cucumbers and watermelons.
This is a challenge to Changshengtian .
It takes a month to deliver the goods once. In the case of snow and road closures, the goods have to be delivered in half a month. In fact, I understand, they are telling us that whenever the Tang Dynasty makes a move against the Turks, they will deliver the goods. I
have the ability to send materials at an unimaginable speed, just like the Yizhou logistics battalion at the beginning, the troops and horses were not moved, and the food and grass went first.”
The people who said this were very reluctant to admit the logistics speed of the Zhang and Wang families, but they were also I have to admit that there is admiration in the tone, but more helplessness.
The person who spoke up pursed his lips, sighed again, and said, “Yes, the Yizhou logistics battalion is the first of its kind to supply supplies. As long as they are still there, no one dares to plunder their front, and they will deliver the supplies in half a month. Who the hell would have thought that they were using dogs. Dogs can pull goods and people. If they found our location now, they would transport 10,000 sergeants here. With the speed of dogs on the snow, we would run as well as we wanted. If they do
n’t fall, the cavalry can’t even lift their horses’ hooves.”
“Now that you know, you don’t need to expect any losses in Jili Prefecture. The Zhang and Wang families have long been accustomed to facing various difficulties. According to handed down sayings, They are Zhiyuan, they fly in adversity, they are stronger when they are strong, and they are extremely diligent.
The person called Que Teqin couldn’t help but shuddered, closed his eyes, and sighed again, “Ah~ Mojilian, are you afraid? Go back, are there still Turks when you go back? Zhang Xiaobao, the damned child, used the method of governing the people. It’s not like you don’t know, he will let Li Longji separate all of us Turks and put them in the state capitals of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tibetans are already doing it.”
Moji didn’t answer immediately, and scooped a portion into the pot. A bowl of wine, smelling the familiar taste, raised his head to drink it up, returned a wine burp, and cut a piece of roasted slightly charred mutton on the shelf of another fire with a knife, and ate it in his mouth. I felt it was not a taste for two times, so I said:
“I’m afraid, I’m really afraid, I’m afraid that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan will free up their hands in the north of Hebei Province and bring their soldiers to run here, then it will not be the problem of whether we can return I don’t think the two of them will be afraid of seeing blood when they kill people, so they can’t do it.
Broken meat, no salt, and no tea. Now, in a few days, it is estimated that even the wine and fire will be used up. You dare to plunder like before? It is estimated that people are waiting for us. You have not seen the power of artillery. I have seen it with my own eyes. After the thunder-like sound, there are stumps on the ground.
People flying in the sky throw a torch at the food and grass, save or not? Command?”
As soon as Mo Jilian’s voice fell, footsteps came from outside the tent, followed by a report, “Report, there are 6,230 sheep in each circle of the headquarters that were frozen to death. .”
“Got it.” Mo Ji replied in a row, then turned his head to look at Que Teqin.
Que Teqin became a lot older in an instant, and turbid tears flowed from the corners of his eyes. He pursed his mouth for a while, let out a whimpering cry, and nodded his head twice, “Wait for the morning, call the leaders of the various ministries to come over and discuss the matter of going back, I will stay when the time comes. , was born in the world of longevity, and died in the world of longevity.”
“No, if you stay, Li Longji will definitely be angry, thinking that you are competing with him and will kill my Turks.” He quickly persuaded him, he didn’t want to. Watching Que Teqin die like this.
“Then I will live a few more days to see Li Longji, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and maybe I will have a chance to meet Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.” Que Teqin said following the meaning of Mo Jilian.
The heavy snow in winter was not specifically for the Turks and the Tang Dynasty, and even Silla and Japan felt the cold breath.
Li Longji didn’t know how Japan lived, but he knew a little about Silla.
When he soaked in the hot spring and experienced this kind of comfort, there was no happy expression on his face, and the letter in his hand was wet with water. Lux said angrily:
“How did you teach your sons? I have prepared a soup pool for them, and I want them to come and have a bubble. They are good, they are not staying in Jili Prefecture in the winter, and they have to go to the Turks. People, the journey is long and the danger is hard to know. If something goes wrong, I… I will only ask you.”
“Yes, this minister is guilty, what Your Majesty said is true, the minister’s teaching is not strict, and the minister will send someone to look for it.” Gao Lishi nodded again and again.
“Send someone to look for it? It’s a joke, it’s weird to find them. When they come back, I will not forgive them lightly. It’s useless for anyone to intercede. I will punish them not to leave the capital for a month, and cook for me every day. , Well, for a month, I want them to soak in the soup every day, let’s see if they dare.”
Li Longji said angrily.
Gao Lishi continued to nod, “Yes, yes, it is necessary to be punished, it must be punished, I dare not, I guess they must not dare, especially the pool, which is very hot.”
“It’s good to dare not, I heard that the people of Xinluo passed by this year. That’s not bad, is there any new news? Tell me.” Li Longji had gained face and no longer bothered about this issue. He believed that the two of them would be able to return safely, and asked about Silla again.
“Yes, this minister told His Majesty that the people of Silla have a better life, and the price of food has dropped again and again. Now it only costs four cents for a bucket of rice, and a chibu is even less than a cent, and the snow is heavy in winter, and the people there The family uses good charcoal, and almost no money is needed, which is better than my Tang Dynasty.”
Gao Lishi introduced the situation to the emperor with a smile.
Li Longji also had a smile on his face. He knew that the price of grain was not cheap because of Datang’s price reduction. Datang’s rice was still five cents a bucket. com had to lower the price, otherwise there would be no money in hand to buy other necessities of life.
As for the charcoal, of course, the trees in Silla were burned. The people in charge of the Zhang Wang family used a lot of luxury goods to bribe the officials of Silla, allowing them to cut down trees and recruit laborers locally. , Some of the burned charcoal was transported back to Datang, and some of the charcoal was directly sent to the workers in Silla as wages. The quantity was large, and even if the workers sold it very cheaply, they would still make a lot of money.
Silla does not stop it, and what awaits is the subjugation of the country.
“If it wasn’t for someone from the Zhang Wang family who told me, I really don’t know that trees are so important to a country. If I had known this, I would not have made people work hard to open up wasteland. It is even related to mudslides, floods, and droughts. The source, as well as all the tributaries, will be planted. I wonder what will happen to Silla in the end?”
“Your Majesty, it is estimated that disasters will continue, and we can’t wait for them to attack, and we need to pass their people through various As an excuse to get the Tang Dynasty, Xiaobao should have arrangements for this matter.”
Gao Lishi is also waiting for that day to come, and a big problem will be solved without bloodshed.
