Chapter 726 The Serenity Before the Great War

"What? Why don't you want it? You can't ask for it." Li Jing laughed loudly.

"Old Hei, I want to be the general of iron ox transportation. No one in Datang can compare to me in terms of driving iron ox." Yuchi patted his chest and said.

Well, no one is really arguing with him, even Bai Fan admires it. At the beginning, Chang'an County had [-] mu of cultivated land for cultivating immortal grains, and Yuchi Gong was almost trained to become a famous mountain car god.

At this moment, the servant Gao quickly came to the Yizheng Hall and whispered beside Li Er for a while.

Everyone was puzzled, did something happen again?
Li Er explained: "Something happened to Shiwei. Not long ago, the household department went to Youzhou to receive the newly purchased [-] cows, but they didn't receive them. Now we have found out the reason.

There was a coup in Shiwei, Goguryeo intervened, and the leader of Shiwei was killed. Now the second leader of Shiwei is in power and has taken refuge in Goguryeo. "

This...seems to be a troubled time. In this way, I am afraid that the enemy will add at least [-] reinforcements.

Moreover, Shiwei will not provide cattle for farming in the future, and the cultivation of the people of Tang Dynasty will also be affected to a certain extent. After all, although they bought cattle for six or seven years, there are still many people in Datang who do not have cattle for farming.

In a calm winter, whether it is the Tang Dynasty, which is tight inside and loose outside, or the Siyi, which is fighting hard, it is all quiet this winter, and there seems to be no trouble, which is very abnormal.

Even in the past, when the two countries were at odds, there were often minor frictions on the border. Even if the two countries were friendly, at least the mixed border areas were often chaotic. But this year, this year alone, it was surprisingly calm.

Li Er looked at the information in his hands and smiled slightly. The heavy snow in winter blocked any movement of the enemy. This is God bless Datang. take this opportunity.

On the other side, Yuan Gai Suwen also looked at the secret letter in his hand and sneered, "clean the wall and clear the field?"It seems that Datang's intelligence work is very good, do you know that we are going to take action?so what? With an army of 50 and a vast grassland, can you defend against it?
Grain transportation on the grassland was carried out in secret this time. Thanks to the help of Bai Fan's tractor team, and after a heavy snowfall, the tractor directly pulled the big sled, and the food transportation was easily completed without requiring many people and horses. Therefore, the enemy I just found out about the strong walls and clear fields, but I didn't know that there were countless grains and grass in the grassland city.

This time was also lucky, it was transporting food in winter. In the past, the food and grass of the large army were transported. The consumption of the labor transport team alone was as high as the consumption of the soldiers in the last battle. That's why the phrase "before the soldiers and horses are moved, the food and grass go first."

But with a tractor, it is different. This thing burns oil, does not consume food, and can pull more. It directly leaves countless food for labor, which is equivalent to transporting the daily rations of these soldiers to the north as military rations.

Bai Fan specially used sleds to transport grain in winter, which is more convenient. If it is summer to transport grain on dirt roads, the road of Datang, even if it is Qin Zhidao, it is estimated that the tractor will have to work hard.

After the beginning of spring, the ground was still uncivilized, and Li Er had already started to set off. After all, only Li Ji was in charge of the overall situation in the grassland. This time, the three cities were a protracted defensive battle, and they had to be guarded by generals.

"Shubao, Daozong, you two will bring one hundred thousand elites to the north to help Maogong defend the city. Remember, no matter what happens, don't go out of the city to meet the enemy. After the spring plowing, the three cities are still there. Maogong The three of you have accomplished a lot, if something goes wrong, then...

In short, the fate of the Tang Dynasty depends on the three of you, and you must do your best. "

"Wan Sheng!" The two shouted loudly, took the arrows and took the arrows, and left Chang'an with a group of lieutenants.

Seeing that the emperor ordered Qin Qiong and Li Daozong, the generals Yuchi Jingde and Cheng Yaojin were dissatisfied. In terms of bravery, we will not lose to Qin Qiong. Besides, second brother Qin's body is full of hidden injuries, why not use us and let him play with injuries?
Li Er smiled slightly, and naturally looked at all these, "You two don't want to be dissatisfied, this time you are standing firm and waiting for help, don't you know your temperament? If the army is entrusted to you, I am afraid that when the enemy comes, you He will be the first to lead his troops to the decisive battle, and this will ruin the big event.

Don't worry, this battle is the time when my Great Tang will kill the Quartet. If it is fought well, it will be as easy as picking the fruit to destroy the country in autumn.

So I have arranged a good location for you, the Great Wall defense line, one is Yunzhou, and the other is Youzhou, can you hold it? "

"Here, Your Majesty, what is there to defend on the Great Wall?

The enemy is besieging the city and attacking Maogong, no one is coming to the Great Wall, you let us guard the Great Wall, why not let us go back to retire. "Cheng Yaojin complained, this is Hob Knife Meat, and he dares to make such a joke at any moment.

"Hehe, don't regret it if you don't want to. If you were an enemy general and couldn't open the city, wouldn't you choose to let go and go straight to Chang'an?"

Yes, it will definitely go around.

After being reminded by Li Er, the two of them slapped their thighs, and they all bowed down and took orders, "The last general must guard the Great Wall to the death, and don't let the enemy go south one by one."

"It's not necessary to defend the city. There is a sharp weapon for defending the city. I just want you to take it easy when you kill the enemy and remember the city defense. Don't just kill the enemy and let those wandering bandits in. You know, even if it's just an enemy, Once you come in, you will harm the common people, and this is your responsibility." Li Er urged again.

"I'll keep it in mind, don't dare to neglect."

"Chai Shao of Youzhou will send people to cooperate, and Niu Jinda of Yunzhou will also help, until the pharmacist reinforces, I will remember your great contribution."

At the same time, King Zuoxian from the northwest direction asked Mo Hedu puzzledly: "Khan, since this time we sent troops from the east and the west, why did we only send [-] troops? And it's a combined army going back to the grasslands in the east?
Wouldn't it be good for us to attack Datang Gaochang directly, and then go all the way east to Datang's Longxi?In this way, the Tang Dynasty has no time to fight on two fronts. It is hard to say that if the countries can unite, they can destroy the Tang Dynasty in one battle. "

Mo Hedu shook his head and said with a smile: "What you said is true, it is in line with the true meaning of the art of war, so you are a military genius.

But you only know military affairs but not political affairs. This time is not a battle between our Western Turkic family, but an alliance of various countries.

If Gaochang is attacked, the defenders there will be full of thunder, how many casualties will it take?Going deep into the Longxi of the Tang Dynasty, laboring on the expedition, our Western Turks were dragged down before we won the victory. You must know that our food has become more and more scarce in the past year or so. "

Zuo Xianwang was silent, because he thought simply. The Western Turks are indeed in trouble now. After the annexation of the 36 countries in the Western Regions, except for some gains such as jewelry and money, the rest are burdens. There was a shortage of food in the country, and now there is still To support those people, Datang stopped exporting food, so the lack of food and grass is a big problem now, and it is not durable.

"Another one, since we are joining forces with Huihe, we will each contribute [-]. Even if we face the thunder in the grassland, there will be someone who will stand in the way. Our son Lang can no longer be sacrificed." Mo Hedu calculated.

Well, King Zuo Xian couldn't argue with this reason. After all, it was a matter of bloodshed and sacrifice. As a general, who wouldn't want to save more of his soldiers?

Different from the Western Turks, there are the three kingdoms of Khitan, Mohe, and Shiwei. This is really a small tribal country with barbarian customs. It even takes pride in bloodshed and sacrifice. Meat eating, such a rule, made Yuan Gai Su Wen very happy, and was worried that there was no meat target to resist the Thunderbolt.

It has to be said that this is really a mob, the alliance of nations, each with its own ghosts before the war started, such an army only accounts for the number of people, if it can win, unless God helps to give it a lucky chance.
