Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 503 Preparations before departure
Li Shimin didn't expect that after the strategic meeting was arranged, the generals would surround Li Tai one by one.

So when the guards came to report, Li Shimin also came to have a look curiously. Seeing Li Shimin coming, Yuchi Jingde quickly passed the list in his hand to Li Shimin, and said, "Saint, this is the list of military meals that King Wei sent us. .”

"Oh, military rations, let me have a look!" Li Shimin took the list from Yuchi Jingde's hand, and said with a little surprise, "Is this food for the general?"

"At first we thought it was the same, but the king of Wei said that it was for the soldiers to eat. Of course, our generals also follow this standard!"

Yuchi Jingde answered whatever he knew, explaining to Li Shimin as much as possible.

Li Shimin frowned when he heard Yuchi Jingde's words. Li Shimin was a little surprised by this logistics ability.

No, even Yuan Cong's forbidden army couldn't enjoy the treatment of eating meat every day when they were in the capital, let alone it is wartime now.

Li Shimin originally wanted to go to Li Tai, but after thinking about it, he didn't go directly to Li Tai, but asked Cen Wenwen to assist Li Tai with logistics.

Li Shimin believed that since Li Tai did this, he must be sure of doing so, and he didn't need to intervene in everything.

After all, Li Taizhen was able to keep the entire army eating meat once every three days, so the morale was high after all.

But thinking about the regular army he brought this time, including [-] cavalry, [-] sailors, and [-] people, Li Shimin couldn't believe that Li Tai could afford to feed so many people, how much did he need to support? Cattle and sheep!

In the original history, Li Shimin dispatched [-] cavalry and [-] sailors, which seems to be less in comparison.

But in fact, the Datang navy in history seems to have been improvised for the conquest of Goguryeo.

The improvised army, the temporarily built ships, and the temporary commander of the navy to sit in the command, highlight a make-shift.

Not to mention that two ships sank inexplicably before they even reached Pyongyang.

But the Youzhou navy in this era started to implement the fishing plan in the third year of Zhenguan, and transferred the Jianghai Navy into a naval navy, and Li Jing personally planned the tactical system. Li Dejian was in charge for more than ten years. In terms of supporting facilities, we tried our best to check for leaks and fill vacancies for the Youzhou Navy, and only then did we have the near-achievement Datang Navy.

This Datang Navy is at least much more professional and stronger than the historical Datang Navy.

As for the army, Li Tai didn't know the situation of the army, but for a commander like Li Shimin, the more soldiers the better.

Even if Li Shimin couldn't reach Han Xin's level of ordering soldiers, how could [-] soldiers not reach his limit!
As for the navy's supplies, they basically brought supplies that could last at least half a year on board at one time, and then the entire fleet went by itself.

For this, Li Tai couldn't supply it at all until they confirmed their stronghold on the other side of the river.

Now they are checking the materials they need, and they are ready to go when the materials are almost checked.

So to be honest, what Li Tai needs to serve is only the [-]-step regular army.

Now, I have 20 corvée brought out by myself, from Yuhang to Tianjin, and even with Chidao and Changan Luoyang, it can spread all over the national transportation network system...

The material transportation of a mere 7 people, who is looking down upon!

However, before Cen Wen came, Li Daozong approached Li Tai first. Li Tai and Li Daozong had a good relationship. Seeing Li Daozong came to find him, Li Tai still took the initiative to save face and asked, "Uncle Clan, come to find the so-called Qing Que?" What's the matter?"

"I want to be a pioneer with Li Shiji, so I want some special chicken bricks, tea leaves and fried flour from you. Don't say you don't have these things!" Ty as an outsider.

"Uncle Clan, I have tea and fried flour here, and heavy salt is added to the fried flour!" Li Tai said to Li Daozong, "However, there are really no chicken bricks in Youzhou, and there are no chickens here. duck!"

"Really?" Li Daozong was somewhat surprised when he heard Li Tai's words.

"Really not." Li Tai shook his head, compared to other large livestock that only need to eat grass, chicken feed needs more staple food.

Li Tai did some calculations, at least until he didn't find feed that could replace the staple food, the size of the poultry was not too big, and he only raised 200 million, which was enough for the poultry and egg market in Youzhou. Tea eggs can't be eaten too much!
But this poultry market is not so much a poultry market, but more a poultry egg market.

Anyway, the number of broilers is not large, at least it is impossible to support [-] troops of meat bricks.

Li Daozong couldn't help but feel a little sad when he heard Li Tai's words. If Li Tai couldn't do anything, Li Daozong could only sigh.

Li Tai continued, "Uncle Clan, if your soldiers are used to eating bricks of beef, bricks of mutton, and bricks of dried fish, would you like to try them?"

"..." Li Daozong couldn't help but regret when he heard Li Tai's words, how could I not have confidence in King Wei, Li Daozong said, "Why don't you give me all of them!?"

"That's it..." Li Tai couldn't help but think about it when he heard Li Daozong's words, "Uncle Clan, how many people are there in Pioneer?"

Li Daozong understands these things and believes that Li Tai does not have a lot of them. Now that Li Tai asked about the number of pioneers, he was obviously really thinking about allocating a corresponding share for himself. Li Daozong was quite moved.

"It's mainly Li Shiji's headquarters and my headquarters, plus a small team of medical battalions. You can count according to the scale of [-] people!" Li Daozong calculated a little, and said, "Which meat brick is the most resistant to hunger? What kind!"

"If there are only ten thousand pioneers, then there is no problem!" Li Tai said after hearing Li Daozong's words,
"After you set up camp, you will contact the Chinese army to arrange food transportation. As for these meat bricks, tea, fried noodles... you should take all these things with you. I will also give you iron pots, coal, flint, and sugar. Get ready!"

"Qing Que, Uncle Clan knows that you are sending good things, but with so many things, Pioneer really can walk!"

When Li Daozong heard Li Tai's words, he said with a bit of expectation, but also with a bit of headache.

"I'll just arrange 1 rough horses for you to deliver supplies, anyway, it's a one-off!" Li Tai said.

"1 nauseous horses, all at once?" Li Daozong frowned when he heard Li Tai's words. How are these two words connected?
"Yeah!" Li Tai nodded and said as a matter of course, "Pioneer is responsible for building bridges and paving roads, as well as setting up camps in the early stage, the camps you pass by will become the camps for latecomers, and the route you pass will become the transportation road for later generations.

If you want the forwards to give full play, the more food you carry, the faster you will advance.

Generally speaking, you don't need food, and I, who do logistics, can't keep up.

So just arrange for you at one time enough food for at least two or three months, and let the slugs follow you.

Even if you run out of food, you can still eat poor horses. All in all, it is to give you more time to spare, so that you can exert the greatest effectiveness.

If possible, we will try our best to set up camp near the sea in the future, because our food road will be resupplied from the sea as much as possible.

Land transportation is at most just an insurance policy. To be honest, after the coastline plank road is built, it will become the main force of food supply at least in winter! "

Li Tai figured it out on his own. Although it is reasonable to say that the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first, but in reality, vanguards should be given as much autonomy as possible.

Therefore, enough food is given at one time, so that they do not need to be dragged down by logistics as much as possible.

Of course, whenever the camp where the forward is stationed, it is generally not demolished. The forward has already divided the army's living area, and it will be much more convenient for the rear troops to expand and build according to this camp.

"That's so embarrassing!" Li Daozong rubbed his hands, he didn't expect Li Tai to be so generous, he really fell in love with him.

Li Tai also immediately wrote down the amount of material dispatch, then stamped the seal of the transfer envoy, and handed it to Li Daozong:

"As long as the clan uncle and Li Shangshu can capture the city of Goguryeo, it will be the best reward for Datang!"

To be honest, Li Tai had calculated.

Compared with letting them bring enough nauseous horses to fight on their own with food at one time, it is far easier than building the logistics of food transportation with their own hard work, and then slowly chasing after them.

After all, the pursuit all the way, don't livestock need food, soldiers don't need food!

You must know that these livestock are life, not machines, and it is easy to lose a lot of them by directly increasing their exercise.

This is why theoretically it is enough to give them [-] forwards, and Li Tai approved [-] more, so they need to be given a certain amount of fault tolerance.

Especially in war, it is a basic quality to be lenient in anticipating the enemy. Similarly, a larger fault tolerance rate or saturated preparation should be set for one's own arrangements, so as to provide sufficient fault tolerance rate for excellent generals as much as possible.

Relatively speaking, the current one-off provides enough food for the vanguard, allowing them to play freely, and when they can't fight, they will naturally set up camp and send soldiers to report back.

Then I will let the grain transportation team transport the grain to where they are at that time, then the arranged journey will be shorter and shorter, and I will be more calm.

After Li Daozong thanked Li Tai, he went to collect the supplies, and then went to report to Li Shiji.

Li Shiji watched Li Daozong go to find King Wei by himself, and when he came back, he followed the endless cavalry, his expression was a bit dazed.

Although I know that King Wei is not a stingy person, this treatment is somewhat unexpected.

"The king of Wei gave these?" Li Shiji looked at these poor horses and said with some admiration, "You still have the ability!"

"What am I? King Wei has the ability!" Li Daozong said,
"The meals prepared for us include mutton, beef and fish, as well as various supplies, and I even asked for a few pots of arrows.

If it weren't for the fear that these horses wouldn't be able to carry so many things, I wish I could move all of King Wei's storage! "

"Then the king of Wei won't fight for you!" Li Shiji couldn't help but joked when he heard Li Daozong's words.

"Desperate?" Li Daozong shook his head when he heard Li Shiji's words, "You haven't seen that warehouse manager before.

After he took me to the warehouse after receiving the order from King Wei, he directly gave me the key and let me go in and choose it by myself.

I just hate why the load capacity of the horses is limited, otherwise, I would like to move the whole warehouse! "

"Having such a logistics system, we, as generals, are really relieved!" Li Shiji couldn't help but sigh.

As Li Daozong spoke, he handed a set of white paper inlaid with gold borders to Li Shiji, which made Li Shiji somewhat puzzled.

Li Shiji raised this set of blank papers, and asked doubtfully, "What is this thing for?"

Li Daozong said: "Wei Wang said, the difficulties encountered by our forwards are recorded.

For example, which weapons are better to use during the war, what difficulties are encountered on the battlefield, and what tools are needed to supplement them. These are all written out in detail. After the war, he will find ways to solve them as much as possible.

If it hadn’t been for what happened last time, King Wei had to ask the court for approval to build armor, I think King Wei would have liked to bring us a shield armor for each of us! "

"It's too heavy, the horses can't carry it! And we are the forwards, so there is no need to dress so thickly!"

Li Shiji couldn't help complaining, but he still took the thing carefully, and said,
"The king of Wei has prepared such good conditions for us. We must not disappoint the king of Wei. We must take a few bites off the defense line of the Great Wall of Goguryeo!"

"Well! Lao Tzu's Tang Dao is already hungry and thirsty!" Li Daozong also agreed.

"Since our food and supplies have been delivered, let the whole army check them one last time to see if there is anything missing. After I have breakfast tomorrow, I will set off for Liucheng, Yingzhou!" Li Shiji said.

"Decree!" Li Daozong replied, and immediately sent someone to deliver the military order.

"Beef, mutton, fish...they are such foods that I dare not even think about!" Li Shiji couldn't help pressing his head, always feeling that he had been stationed at the border for too long, and he was a bit behind the times, and he always felt a little messy!

Just when Li Shiji was feeling emotional, Li Dejian and Su Lie, who were also planning to set off to directly attack Pyongyang, found Li Tai hand in hand. There was no reason why they came to Li Tai to borrow troops.

"You want to recruit people from me?" Li Tai looked at Li Dejian, a little surprised by their choice.

"Yeah!" Li Dejian nodded, "The army is a bit different from our navy, they are a bit out of tune with us.

After discussing with Ding Fang, I felt that students from agricultural colleges would be able to bring out the strength of the Navy better if they followed us. "

When Li Tai heard Li Dejian's words, he couldn't help raising his brows. It's normal for the army and the navy to have some conflicts.

After all, strictly speaking, the army actually implements the military system, while the navy implements the recruitment system. The difference brought about by this military system is naturally not small.

　There is another update, at least a little bit, go to bed early, don't wait too long.
