Datang: Starting from a fortune-telling stall, Wu Zetian was suddenly abducted

Chapter 215 Winter Campaign
After everyone in the hall discussed many follow-up matters, it was already noon.

Guo Xiaoke held a banquet in the mansion to entertain everyone.

Guo Xiaoke proposed to hold a drinking ceremony, but most of the people in the group were old and rough, and they were not good at poetry and songs, so they had no choice but to roll dice and play shooting.

Jiang Xin was half drunk and took off his face towel without hesitation after drinking too much. However, he only saw more than ten scratches on his face, which were very irritating.

Seeing this, Zhongqing couldn't help but curiously asked.

Jiang Xin's face turned red and he said:
"Yesterday, the grape trellis in the house suddenly arrived, and I was accidentally hit."

Zhongqing couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this:
"We have all seen the Jiang Mansion. There is no grape trellis at all?"

Jiang Xin, I finally understand why you can't deal with your wife. You can't even tell a lie, so you can't say that you got the lottery when you killed the enemy. Yuan Shouwei slandered and called Zhongqing one side.

He gave advice in a low voice:
"You should ask Wang Chong about this."

Zhongqing understood instantly and immediately took the wine glass and waved it to Wang Chong who was at the bottom.

After whispering for a while, he returned to Yuan Shouwei with satisfaction.

He looked at Yuan Shouwei with admiration and said:

"Yuan Shouwei, how did you know?"

"Did you just calculate it?"

Yuan Shouwei lowered his head to drink, smiling and saying nothing.

Guests are happy.

Yuan Shouwei and the others returned to the guest house that Jiang Xin had arranged for them.

Several people rested separately.

Yuan Shouwei went back to his room and started to receive his reward: the magical horse.

As his consciousness turned, a golden charm appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Yuan Shouwei looked at the talisman attentively and saw that it read:

The Taoist incantation says that in the past when gods were painted on yellow paper, they all painted horses on them for riding, so they were called armored horses, which could travel eight hundred miles a day.

The following are the spells and techniques for drawing talisman:

One hundred steps at a time, the land shrinks in size.Every mountain is flat, every river is dry.I was ordered by Mr. Sanshan Jiuhou to take this photo.
When he saw this, Yuan Shouwei couldn't help but secretly feel happy.

From the Western Region to the Northeast, it is thousands of miles away.

I originally planned to return to Chang'an, rest for a few days, and then send Liu Sanshan's ashes back.

Now that he has this armored horse, he can definitely go there before the year and put Liu Sanshan to rest as soon as possible.

After thinking of this, he immediately started studying.

After a while, I had complete control.

Seeing that Hunter was happy, he immediately took out his brush, talisman paper, and cinnabar, and painted two armored horses with three strokes, five divided by two.

Then he left the guest house and came to the outside of Yining City. He tied the armor to his legs and chanted a spell.

Suddenly, I felt as if there were two more rocket launchers under my feet, and I was ejected with a 'snap'.

This caught him off guard and almost ran into a big tree beside the road.

Fortunately, he was able to avoid it by using the Ladder Cloud Control Technique.

And when he passed by the passers-by like the wind, everyone was shocked and fell to their knees:
"Meet the fairy."

In one hour, he had traveled more than 100 miles, and he had also mastered how to avoid hitting trees while running at high speed.

He turned back to Yining, and when he arrived in the city, he went directly to the General's Mansion to meet Guo Xiaoke and talk about Liu Sanshan.

According to the provisions of "Tang Lu Shu Yi", soldiers who died in battle were cremated uniformly.

The relevant personnel of the government will then return the ashes and pension assets to their hometown.

If there are no personnel from the government in the army, personnel from neighboring prefectures and counties will be responsible.

After the soldiers returned to their hometowns, their remains were enshrined in local temples.

Liu Sanshan's hometown is thousands of miles away, and if he is escorted by personnel from the Shanyu Protectorate, it will take at least half a year.

In addition to Liu Sanshan's situation, Guo Xiaoke already knew about it.Feeling his loyalty, he thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, and immediately went to go through the relevant procedures for Liu Sanshan's remains. He accompanied Yuan Shouwei and waited in the living room.

During the chat, Guo Xiaoke asked:
"National Master, are you planning to return to Chang'an soon? Then wait until the end of the year to send Liu Sanshan's remains back?"

Yuan Shouwei shook his head and said:

"I plan to send Brother Sanshan back years ago."

Guo Xiaoke couldn't help being surprised,
"National Master, we are thousands of miles away. It will be years later when you arrive."

"And the Liaodong area is already freezing cold at this time, making it difficult for people and horses to move."

"It's better to wait until spring, and it won't be too late for you to send it away."

Yuan Shouwei shook his head and said:

"I have some acceleration charms, which can travel thousands of miles a day, and should be delivered years ago."

When he heard Guo Xiaoke talk about the cold weather, his heart moved and he said:
"General, a flower grown in this mansion is called Baidianhua (cotton). Have you seen it?"

Guo Xiaoke was surprised why Yuan Shouwei suddenly raised this topic, but he knew that Yuan Shouwei must have something to say, so he shook his head and said:
"I'm busy with military affairs and haven't bothered to watch it in the courtyard."

"Why did the national teacher suddenly bring up this topic?"

Yuan Shouwei said:

"The white wadding of white folded flowers has excellent cold protection effect. It can be worth several times the price of silk and linen, and the price is much lower than that of fur."

"You can send slaves to plant a large number of plants in the Western Region and see the effect. If the effect is good, it can be promoted among the people and the military."

"Then the soldiers will be able to withstand the severe cold when they fight in winter."

As soon as he said this, Guo Xiaoke's eyes lit up immediately.

Others don't know it, but Guo Xiaoke understands it very well.

Yuan Shouwei was referring to what he said. He was talking about the fact that the former Sui Dynasty failed to attack Goryeo repeatedly. A large part of the reason was that the soldiers' clothing could not withstand the severe cold in the north.

And this is also a concern of His Majesty Li Shimin today.

He suddenly stood up and looked at Yuan Shouwei, and said in a hurried voice:
"National Master, where is the white folded flower now? Please take me to see it."

After saying this, I couldn't help but laugh. I didn't know what was in the yard where I lived.

Yuan Shouwei got up and took him to the back garden.

Not far from the garden, he pointed to the dozen or so white cascades and explained:

"It stands to reason that this thing is sown in spring, bears fruit in summer, and harvested in autumn."

"But in Yining, a place where it feels like spring all year round, it may not be the same."

Then he walked closer, plucked a cotton boll, opened it, pointed at the white strands of silk inside, and said:
"In another season, you can see the white buds blooming in here."

"With a little processing, it can be turned into cotton clothes."

"But I really don't know how to process it."

Guo Xiaoke's attention was completely attracted by the cotton ball in Yuan Shouwei's hand. Hearing Yuan Shouwei's words, he replied absently:
"It doesn't matter. We have many skilled craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty. There must be someone who knows how to process it."

"National Master, when fighting in winter, keeping soldiers warm is always a big problem."

"If this white fringe can help the soldiers keep out the cold, then first of all we will take down that Goryeo."

Yuan Shouwei smiled and replied:

"It's not in a hurry, a new thing requires everyone to have a process of acceptance."

"And you have to report this to His Majesty and let him try to promote it. Only then will the results be achieved."

Guo Xiaoke held the cotton ball in his hand with gleaming eyes, Ji Taomi nodded and said:

"Everything the Imperial Master said is right."

"Come on, let's go back to the living room now and discuss how to write this memorial."

"Well, this cotton ball must also be presented to His Majesty."

While the two were talking, they returned to the living room and discussed writing a memorial.
