Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 341 Qin Qiong Li Yuan
Zhangqiu.

Qin Qiong arrived with three thousand Qi county soldiers. As soon as he entered the city, he rushed to the county government office to plead guilty to Zhang Xutuo.

"If you are late in your post, please abide by the punishment."

Zhang Xutuo was playing chess with Father Luo, and a doctor was helping Zhang Xutuo clean up the wound and re-bandage it.There was a wound on his shoulder where the bones were visible, but when the doctor cut his rotten flesh with a knife, he could still play chess with Father Luo calmly without frowning.

"Shubao, you came just in time, and it's not too late. Zhou Dewei of Changbai Mansion has already found out that Pei Changcai and Shizihe's two thieves fled eastward after their defeat, and their troops were completely wiped out. Now the two thieves only bring a hundred or so horsemen with them." I ran to the two thieves Wang Bo, Wang Yong, and others in Beihai. Now the two kings have united with Qin Junhong and others, and gathered more than [-] thieves in Bochang, Beihai. The next step is definitely to sneak into our Qi County. I decided to kill him by surprise, not waiting for him Come, let's go first."

The old man also greeted Qin Qiong, "Shu Bao, sit down."

"Uncle is also injured?"

"It's not a problem, it's just scratched a little oily skin. I'm old, I haven't used a weapon for a long time, an old bone, and I can't even deal with a few thieves in the battlefield."

Zhang Xutuo said with a smile, "Brother Luo is too modest, this time you defeated the two thieves Peishi, your Luo family has made great contributions, and you are full of meritorious officials."

"Your elder brother has a hammer. He is always strong and strong. The thief he killed ran away."

"Zhang Tong guards your horse and rides the bow, then the real murderer will cry for his father and mother."

Qin Qiong sat on the side, watching the two old men flattering each other, a little dumbfounded.

"Tong Shou, the thieves have not yet entered our Qi County, but are still in Beihai County, so we can directly attack across the border, can we?" Qin Qiong asked.

"What's wrong, your cousin Luo Cheng has crossed the county more than once to suppress thieves before, we must take the initiative to prevent them from entering Qi County. We can no longer treat a headache or a foot. There are rebels everywhere in the county, we can't live our lives behind closed doors, otherwise, when the thieves in the surrounding counties become stronger, they won't let us go."

Luo Gui put down a chess piece, "Tongshouqi is one move higher, the next move is to look at three moves. This move is very good. Although Lao Luo is useless, he is willing to take his son and son-in-law together to lead Zhangqiu Township Let us go out with you bravely."

"Oh, if I can get the help of the generals of the Luo family, then I will be even more powerful."

"Then this is the deal?" Luo Gui said.

"Well, troops will be dispatched tomorrow."

Liaodong.

Xuan Dou City.

After working day and night, Luo Cheng has already produced a lot of meat floss.

A head of cattle and sheep is slaughtered, then boiled and stewed, and then smashed with a large pound, mill, and pestle, and then dried on a kang.Five catties of fresh meat can yield about one catty of dried meat floss. These meat floss are rough and taste bad, but after experiments by the generals of the Fifth Zuo Army, they found that the effect of satisfying hunger and satiety is really good.

A small handful of meat floss, with a few handfuls of fried rice, put some water in a kettle, hang it on the body or on the saddle, shake and shake, and after half an hour, it becomes a pot of meat floss porridge.

Eating a bowl can keep you from being hungry for half a day.

Although it was a bit unpalatable, it was still hungry, and some people only ate this meat floss porridge for several days in a row, and found that they did not become weak at all, and they were still vigorous and vigorous.

"Is fifteen catties of meat floss enough for each person?"

"That's enough. Each soldier has five catties of beef floss, five catties of mutton floss, and another five catties of pork floss. The auxiliary soldiers are given five catties of lamb floss and ten catties of pork floss. The heavy cavalry and Mo Dao soldiers are given an additional five catties of beef Song. It has been made and distributed to all soldiers according to the general's order."

"Very good, since there are still pigs and sheep, let's hurry up and get another batch out, and let the auxiliary soldiers take them with them."

Luo Cheng was very satisfied with the progress of the processing. Tens of thousands of people worked together, and the effect was good. After sacrificing the taste, the quantity was guaranteed.

"Horses, mules, donkeys, and camels, you can take as many as you can. Bringing these animals can not only help carry materials and equipment, but also carry people. At critical times, they can also be used as military rations. Everyone must do a good job. Mentally prepare, this time we are going to go deep behind enemy lines and fight thousands of miles away, so we can bring as much food as we can. Don’t expect that there will be supplies in the future. No one can count on it except ourselves. Don’t expect to be able to. Local supply, Goguryeo is a poor place. Once we have been there, we are sure that the walls will be solidified and the wilds will be cleared. It will be more difficult than going to the sky. We should stop thinking about it as soon as possible and make sufficient preparations as soon as possible. "

"What the general said makes sense." Wei Zheng also said, "Let's do what the general said, and bring more meat floss and fried rice. This will save a lot of transport capacity. We will transport less food and more armaments and weapons. Resupply, this weapon equipment is even more difficult. And we also offended that Wei Wei Siqing, so don't even think that he will give us resupply at that time, while the Xuantu City is still in our hands, the weapons in the city As for the equipment, we will take as much as we can."

Under Luo Cheng's way of thinking, the Fifth Left Army is now armed to the teeth.

Originally, the government soldiers had six pack horses for each ten men, but here in Luocheng, now each soldier has a mount and a pack horse, and then the auxiliary soldiers don’t need carriages at all, and they are all equipped with camels, horses, mules, and donkeys. , a large number of equipment.

Each soldier has three hundred bows and arrows, enough for more than a dozen battles.

Originally, after capturing the cities of Xuantu, there were a lot of supplies and food in the warehouse, but now that Luo Cheng has done this, it is almost emptied.

That's it, it's early April.

Armies from all walks of life gathered in Huaiyuan, and the reorganized left six and right six armies, which were originally stationed on the Liaohe line, also took advantage of the trend to cross the Liaohe River from the North Road and enter Liaodong.

Li Jing, general of the Sixth Army on the left, and Luo Yi, general of the Sixth Army on the right.

There are two generals in the army, one is Teacher Luo Cheng and the other is Luo Cheng's uncle.Not long ago, Zhang Xutuo wrote back to Luo Cheng, saying that he agreed with him to worship Li Jing as his teacher to learn the art of war. Luo Cheng's worship of Li Jing as his teacher did not mean breaking away from his teacher-student relationship, so Zhang Xutuo did not object. He also told him a lot about Li Jing's strengths and asked him to study hard.

The two armies crossed the Liao River and entered Liao successively.

After entering Liao, Li Jing entered Cangyan City, while Luo Yi entered Nansu City.

Along with the two crossing the river, there were many people from the imperial court, among them was Li Yuan, Wei Wei Siqing.

Li Yuan came here in person, and was responsible for replenishing Luo Cheng's Fifth Left Army with military equipment, food and grass, and another purpose, which was to receive all the captured materials, money, food, population, and prisoners of war from the three cities and seven forts.

Before coming, Li Yuan had already inquired carefully. Xuantu City had a large amount of supplies and equipment. There were more than 30 feather arrows and tens of thousands of armors.And food, there are 10,000+ stones, not to mention tens of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of livestock.

Li Yuan enters the city, accompanied by Li Jing and Luo Yi, followed by Yuwen Shiji, the new envoy of the Left Fifth Army.
