Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 355
Zhang Yi is right in saying that professional things should be done by professional people.

For example, the Ulak family is very good at herding sheep.

A leather whip flicked in the air, and a crisp empty sound spread far away like an air cannon. The flock of sheep who were originally reluctant to move forward suddenly bleated as if they had taken a stimulant. rush forward.

Seeing Ulak driving the sheep so lightly, Wang Lao Wu finally took a breath.

The long snowy road is very difficult. When you come here, you will come with a light car, and when you return, you will return with a full load.

Zhang Yi stood on the city wall of Shuofang City and looked at the whiteness of the sky. The fluttering white snow could no longer attract him to appreciate it even for a minute, but the only thing that caught his attention was the road that could be seen vaguely. place.

That's right, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, I get used to it. Although the scenery in the northern country is beautiful, it is not as good as his hometown. Especially when the Spring Festival is about to enter in less than two months, the only thing he thinks about is to end it as soon as possible. Although he himself knew very well that it was impossible to return to Jingyang years ago, he was still looking forward to the war.

"Now it's not like you before! In the past, you seemed to have everything under control, but now you are worried about Lao Wu and the others?"

At some point, Yue Shi appeared beside Zhang Yi like a ghost again.

Zhang Yi looked at the [-]th day of the month, which was like an ice sculpture made of clay, sighed, and said, "There are too many variables on the grassland, and you also know that this time is of great importance, not only related to the food problem of our Shuofang City defenders, And it is even more related to the important affairs of the entire Youwuwei.

It is no longer possible for the imperial court to allocate food and fodder for us, not because the princes in the court do not want to give us food, but because they simply cannot raise it! "

Zhang Yi slowly pulled out a letter from Chang'an from his sleeve. The letter was written by Fang Xuanling himself, and it was written to Li Jing in the tone of an old friend.

Although it seems to be a private letter, there are too many things represented in it.

It not only mentions the difficulties of the imperial court, but also the high mountains and long roads, the roads are blocked by heavy snow, so the imperial court has no way to provide supplies to Li Jing. Of course, he also gave excessive praise to You Wuwei for being able to defend Shuofang City.

In short, it means that the imperial court knows your credit. You, Li Jing, have worked hard and are very capable. Why don't you overcome the difficulties and stick to it?
Yue Eleven did not pick up the letter. There were some things that he could not read. As a member of the Shadow Guard, he knew his identity very well.

However, from Fang Xuanling's letter to Li Jing, we can also see a problem, that is, Li Er is indeed living in a very difficult situation. This year's locust plague has made him exhausted, and this scar has not healed yet. But he didn't expect Pearl Khan to make a fuss, and when he excitedly dispatched Li Jing to guard the border, he didn't even expect that he would kill a Xieli on the way, which is really worse.

Fortunately, Shuofang City was finally defended. Not only that, even Zhang Yi, a chess piece he was not very optimistic about, actually produced such killer weapons as gunpowder bombs and cement. It is impossible for 5 horses to fight to the death with Jieli, but there is absolutely no problem in guarding the gate of Mobei.

Now that there is no problem in defending the city, the problem in Mobei will also be solved. As for the problem in Jieli, it can be solved after the autumn harvest next year, when there is enough food and fodder and a complete set of soldiers, it is undoubtedly the best s Choice.

Therefore, things have now become as if the court has left it to fend for itself. It's not that the court doesn't want to take care of it, but the court has nothing to do.

It was because of this letter that Zhang Yi had no choice but to take the risk and asked Wang Laowu to plunder the Turkic tribes around Shuofang City.

It's just that Zhang Yi has been thinking about a question, that is, why the letter was not sealed?
Could it be that Fang Xuanling forgot or they were just going to show it to low-level officers like themselves?

"I already know the meaning of the imperial court, do you plan to use this method to meet the food and fodder needs of the army?" Yue Yue asked.

"That's right!" Zhang Yi nodded, his eyes still looking at the road ahead, and said: "I have also analyzed the considerations of the imperial court. I think His Majesty and the princes only want us to guard this Shuofang City. As for solving it by ourselves They still think highly of us. 5 people need at least [-] catties of food to eat and drink every day, and [-] catties are just enough to feed our brothers. In such a cold weather, we still need bedding and other things , if the supplies are not enough, I think many people will not survive this winter!

So I think Han’s General Huo’s method is very good. We use war to support war, and we can eat wherever we go. Not only do we not need logistics supplies, but we can even clean up the small tribes around us, and do a good job for the future. get ready!
You know, these Turkic people are born to be qualified fighters. They have a stronger physique than our Han people, and they also have equestrian skills that we can't match at all, so once they ride a war horse on the vast grassland, they are like flying birds. Wings, we won't be able to do anything about it.

But now the heavy snow has closed the grassland, and the thick white snow has blocked the horses' footsteps. This is what is beneficial to us.We have the sharpest Mo Dao in the world, and we also have gunpowder bullets with the power of thunder. Although it is a little cold, we also have a certain advantage in this situation! "

Zhang Yi's analysis was very careful, taking into account everything from his own army's logistics and supply, to the morale of the army, and even the situation of the Turkic people and the weather.

That's why Zhang Yi dared to ask Wang Laowu to plunder those tribes.

Because he is sure that even if the Turkic people want to fight back, it is impossible for them to fight back now that the road is blocked by heavy snow!
"It's about the same as what I thought!" Yue Shixi nodded, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. As he spoke, his fingers pointed to a few black spots that were constantly moving in the vast expanse of snow, and said with a smile: "It seems that your bet this time has paid off, and they have paid off well!"

Zhang Yidang even looked in the direction of Yue Shiyi's finger.

Sure enough, in that white world, small black dots were slowly moving towards him. At this time, who else could they be besides Wang Laowu?

Immediately afterwards, a pair of knights rode out of the city gate on tall horses. These were scouts from the army. They also found the crowd in the distance. In order to ensure the identity of the visitor, they had to go out of the city to verify the identity of the visitor!
