The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 58 Go deep into the desert and plunder

Li Chengdao asked the Zheng family in Xingyang for food and grass support, and received a positive response.

It's just that Xingyang is far away from Youzhou, so transportation of grain and grass is very difficult.

The transportation of each batch of grain and grass requires a lot of manpower, material resources and time.

On this day, Li Chengdao stood on the city wall and watched hundreds of grain transport convoys from afar slowly driving into the city, feeling a little relieved.

"With these grains, we won't have to worry about food problems for four months."

Li Chengdao murmured to himself, but it was only temporary.

In Zheng Jibo's reply to him, he clearly explained to him the amount of food and grass that Zheng could provide.

With the current financial resources of the Zheng family, it is impossible to endlessly supply Li Chengdao with food and grass.

After all, the number of troops under his command now reaches as high as [-]!

Fifty thousand Youzhou frontier troops, [-] new troops, and [-] white-robed troops.

Providing food and fodder for these 3000 people is simply an astronomical figure.

Although Zheng Jibo is willing to help Li Chengdao, he is the head of the Zheng family after all. He needs to consider the entire Zheng family and cannot bring down the entire Zheng family just because of Li Chengdao.

Therefore, providing four months of food and grass is Zheng's limit.

Li Chengdao didn't have any objections to this. You must know that supporting an army of [-] people for four months would only allow a luxurious family like the Zheng family to have the ability. If it were replaced by a middle-class family, it would probably even drain the family's wealth. This shows how terrible the consumption is.

Therefore, if you want to raise an army of tens of thousands, it is impossible to support it without a rich land or country to support it.

"Your Highness, what should we do? Since Li Shimin has cut off the food and grass provided to Youzhou, he will definitely not cut it off for only four months. Otherwise, we continue to go deep into the desert and plunder the Turks' cattle and sheep?"

Yue Fei asked worriedly. He was well aware of the seriousness of the current situation.

Li Shimin wanted to force Li Chengdao to rebel, not giving him time to develop, so he could directly mobilize the army to suppress him!

"..."

Li Chengdao didn't answer, he frowned and thought deeply, his eyes scanning aimlessly outside the city.

And when his eyes fell on the tall temples with heads, he made up his mind.

“Although there was no danger in the previous two raids on small and medium-sized Turkic tribes, they have now become more vigilant!
But it’s worth the risk for the cattle and sheep.

It's time to take those [-] recruits who have never seen blood and take them out for a walk. "

"Your Highness agreed!"

Yue Fei and others were overjoyed.

Yue Fei and others felt extremely happy every time they destroyed Turkic tribes and plundered their cattle, sheep, and wealth.

Li Chengdao raised his head and said energetically: "The Turks are nomadic people, the grasslands are vast, and there are Turkic tribes everywhere!
Although they are dangerous, they are also our natural training opponents, and they are also our supply ground! "

"Especially the large Turkic tribes. They are basically very wealthy and have many cattle and sheep. They are the best targets for robbery. Next, we will target small and medium-sized tribes and focus on large tribes."

Li Chengdao raised his eyebrows and said, waved his cloak behind him, stood up with his sword in hand, and looked into the distance.

"Chuanggu ordered to mobilize [-] white-robed troops and [-] new troops. The troops were divided into five groups and headed to the prairie in three days, deep into the Turkic hinterland!

Xue Wanche led [-] Youzhou border troops to guard Youzhou. "Yue Fei and other generals were overjoyed.

Three days later, the gates of Youzhou City opened wide, and Li Chengdao led seven thousand white-robed troops to gallop out and head straight to the prairie!

It has always been the Turks who come to Han territory to burn, kill and loot, but this time, the role of the hunter is the prey...

swapped.

……

The prairie is vast and boundless. It is full of green as far as the eye can see, with no end as far as the eye can see.

On the prairie, there are herds of cattle, sheep and other livestock.

The Turks are nomadic people. They are centered around the Turkic Royal Court. The inner tribes guard the royal court, and the outer tribes guard the inner tribes. The tribes closer to the center are richer and more powerful, and the higher their status is. They enjoy the pastoral resources. and water resources will be more abundant.

Deep in the prairie, next to a huge freshwater lake, a medium-sized tribe called the Domra tribe is stationed.

The Domra tribe is relatively close to the inner circle. The tribe has a population of several thousand. This year, after paying a large number of cattle and sheep slaves, it successfully moved to an area close to the inner circle, which was just after its promotion.

It's getting late now, and the people of the Domla tribe have called back their cattle and sheep, started lighting bonfires around their tents, and started preparing dinner.

In a tent in the center of the tribe, the leader of the Domla tribe was drinking and eating meat with many tribal warriors, talking and laughing loudly.

In the center of the tent, there are graceful women dancing. If you observe carefully, you can see that these women have Han faces, and they are obviously Han women!
Not only that, every warrior in the tent was accompanied by a Han woman, and the leader even held the two beauties in his arms.

"Hahaha! You dance well! Take off your coat and keep dancing!"

The leader drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then threw the glass at the feet of the Han woman who was leading the dance.

The Han woman beside him turned slightly pale, and the hand holding the wine bottle shook slightly, accidentally spilling it on the leader.

The latter's expression suddenly changed, and he slapped her on the face with his backhand, knocking her to the ground, and then cursed angrily: "You don't have eyes! What use do you have if you can't even serve people!"

After saying that, he continued to punch and kick, but the woman who was beaten just closed her eyes and endured it silently. When other Han women saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel sadness in their eyes.

"Chief, please calm down and don't really beat her to death. Things are not what they used to be. It's not easy for these tender Han women."

A tribal warrior spoke up and tried to persuade the leader.

After hearing his words, the tribal leader's expression changed slightly, and then he sat back down again.

Another tribal warrior also sighed and said: "No one dares to go hunting in Youzhou now. That white-robed war god is really powerful. He actually slaughtered all the troops of the Muka tribe, and their heads were all outside the city." It’s piled up into a mountain.”

Among the Turks, going to Youzhou to plunder is called safari, and everything they grab is a trophy, among which the beautiful Han women are the most precious.

However, after Li Chengdao massacred [-] Turkic troops, his name had spread throughout the Turks, so frightened that all the tribes did not dare to enter Youzhou territory.

After all, those three tall imperial palaces with heads are still standing outside Youzhou City.

And Li Chengdao was even dubbed the White-robed God of War.

"Oh, the white-robed war god is just made up by the Muka tribe to cover up their stupidity. I heard that the Tang prince is only 14 or 16 years old. If he stands in front of me, I can chop him into pieces with one knife. die!"

A cruel smile flashed across the tribal leader's face, and he licked the corners of his mouth, his eyes filled with bloodthirsty light.

The other warriors in the tent suddenly burst into compliments and praises, making him feel even more elated.

And at this moment, an earth-shattering sound of horse hooves came from the distance, and even the ground beneath their feet was shaking!
