Chapter 329: Li Xiuning

Bidding farewell to the old pawn, Li Xiuning observed more carefully, this simple method, she made up her mind to learn it, and then go back to promote! Because as a general who once commanded more than 100,000 men and horses and went on many expeditions, she knew how great this set was for treating soldiers and improving morale.

The most critical point is that the subsidy for a wounded soldier is much cheaper than the pension for the dead, and now she doesn't care about the war outside, because Zou Yu is sending more and more wounded soldiers here, and the lightly injured people have been called away, which is clearly because the war at the front is tight and the personnel are insufficient.

Li Xiuning was secretly proud in her heart, thinking that Zou Yu had let herself go with a black face and asked to withdraw from the army, she couldn't help but smile.

She also knows the current situation, since Zou Yu has returned from Liaodong, it is impossible to continue the attack, only to fight, test the strength of the opponent, and then collect their own troops, as for why the fight is so fierce, she guesses that one is because she was arrested, and the other is because of revenge, of course, she doesn't know that Zou Yu and they killed so many people from the Li family.

In the evening, the whole camp erupted in loud cheers, and then began to kill the sheep, and Li Xiuning realized that something was wrong, which was clearly the meaning of celebration.

Li Xiuning panicked all of a sudden, why was he defeated all of a sudden, shouldn't it be Zou Yu's difficult resistance?

How's Big Brother doing? And what about the army? How many died? Li Xiuning was in turmoil for a while, but she knew that her family was fine, if the more than 100,000 troops were defeated, the family would only have the strength to defend, and in a short period of time, it would be impossible to raise troops again.

"What's going on out there?" Li Xiuning asked a soldier who was hanging up with his arm.

The soldier didn't know Li Xiuning, but he knew that the order from above was to let her move around as long as she didn't leave the camp, so he didn't dare to offend, and replied honestly: "This girl, we won, and the prime minister ordered to reward the three armies!" ”

"Win?" Li Xiuning muttered to himself, and then asked anxiously, "How are the people of Qi State?" ”

"Run! I heard that the crown prince of Qi was coming, but unfortunately I didn't catch him. The soldier smacked his lips and said regretfully.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Li Xiuning breathed a sigh of relief and said softly.

"What did you say, girl?" The soldier didn't hear clearly, and looked up and asked.

"Nothing, do you know what the specific battle situation is? How many Qi people have you killed? Did you catch the general? Li Xiuning squeezed out a smile and asked.

"Huh! This little one is not clear, after all, I am just a gang leader, and I must have killed a lot, didn't you see that the people all went to clean up the battlefield? The soldier smiled embarrassedly, scratched the back of his head and said.

"Little brother, can you tell me, I want to meet King Tang!" Li Xiuning bit her lip lightly, and then asked.

The soldier avoided Li Xiuning's gaze slightly, his face turned red, and he replied with a little nervousness: "I can't see the prime minister, but I will tell the girl what she asked." ”

"I'm sorry for you!" Li Xiuning smiled and thanked him.

"If there's nothing else to do, girl, I'll take my leave!" The soldier glanced up at Li Xiuning again, and then quickly lowered his head, as if he had been caught stealing, and said a little shyly.

"Okay! Little brother, go get busy, I'm fine. Li Xiuning once again expressed his gratitude.

After the soldiers left, Li Xiuning waited anxiously again, because he didn't know if Zou Yu would take the time to see her, after all, he had just won the battle, and he would definitely be very busy.

Fortunately, her worries are superfluous, the statistics of military merits are calculated by Sima at all levels in the army, and the people are responsible for cleaning the battlefield, Zou Yu is not too busy.

Cleaning up the battlefield has always belonged to the logistics responsibility, and the combat personnel can fight with peace of mind, because the harvest of cleaning the battlefield will not be less theirs, according to the rules, of which thirty percent belong to the soldiers, one percent to the logistics, one percent belongs to the generals at all levels, and fifty percent belong to the national treasury.

Of course, there are many operable ones, after all, it is impossible to turn them in so honestly, except for the logistics personnel who clean up the battlefield, because they dare to hide privately, and what they are waiting for is to kill their heads.

Half an hour later, Zou Yu got the news that Li Xiuning wanted to see him, and then he remembered that there was such a person, who was busy with the decisive battle in the past two days, and actually forgot about her. But thinking that it was meant to be discussed, now was the right time, so I asked people to invite her over.

"I've seen King Tang!" The matter has become a foregone conclusion, Li Xiuning has also regained his composure, and after coming in, he is very perfect Shi Lidao. As for the title, Zou Yu Tang King is Yang Guangfeng, no matter whether the Li family is unhappy or not, they have to pinch their noses and admit it.

"Miss Li, please sit down, I've been busy with the war for the past two days, and I've been slacking off, and I hope Haihan!" Zou Yu smiled and waved his hand.

"King Tang is polite!" Li Xiuning bowed again, and then knelt to the side. Just like Zou Yu won't call her a princess, Li Xiuning won't call Zou Yu the prime minister, which is not recognizing his position, that is, denying the Jinyang court.

"Miss Li is still used to living? In the wilderness, the hospitality is not good! Zou Yu pretended to be apologetic and said.

Of course, Li Xiuning knew that Zou Yu was just polite, but Zou Yu was so polite, which made her feel a little more relaxed, which at least showed that Zou Yu would not treat her well for the time being. I shouldn't embarrass her.

Guessing Zou Yu's intentions, Li Xiuning replied politely: "During the military journey, life has been very good, and Tang Wang's thoughtfulness towards his subordinates is really admirable to the little woman." Li Xiuning looked at Zou Yu with a little curiosity and said, she was a little surprised that Zou Yu gave the soldiers such a good life, because she saw that even the people's food was better than that of the soldiers on their side.

"It's all your own output, and it's normal for others to fight for their lives, eat better, and treat better?" Zou Yu waved his hand and said.

In addition to eating, of course, it is the ambulance team, Zou Yu understood what she meant, after all, he also knew what he had eaten before.

"Own production? I don't know where Tang Wang got so many fruits? Li Xiuning asked with a slight movement of his brows.

"These are all in the homes of the people under my rule, and every year the government will come forward to buy them, and they can be made into canned food and sold out, or they can be bought by soldiers and workers, and ordinary people; The second is to increase the people's income. Zou Yu didn't think it was an important secret, so he replied directly.

"Every family?" Li Xiuning thought that it was just one or two planted by each family, so he nodded and understood.

"Fruit is also an industry for the people, so many barren mountains, just so empty, isn't it a waste? Unified opening, planting fruits, management is not very effective! Zou Yu nodded and explained.

In his opinion, the rational use of land and human resources is a very normal thing, and now it is really sparsely populated, and many hills are only barren grass, so the grass is removed and fruit trees are planted. From growth to fruiting, fruit trees have to be grafted according to different regions, which takes time, at least two or three years, so there is time to take care of them.

When the fruit trees are planted, they only need to dig a one-meter round pit and throw away the weeds and stones inside, and every year when they are free, the people will remove the wild grass between the fruit trees, water and prune the fruit trees, so that when the fruit trees bear fruit, there will be no weeds on the whole mountain except for the fruit trees.

In fact, the biggest loss of fruit trees is not the environment in the ground, because there are a lot of places to choose from, the biggest enemy of fruit trees, but all kinds of birds and birds, this era, there are no pesticides, those birds are really special, food, fruit trees every fruit, ripe for one or two months, but the people are the most troubled, must be patrolled 24 hours a day, guarded.

Fortunately, the fruit trees are all pruned, they do not grow tall, and it is more convenient to guard, and all kinds of means are used to trap them with nets, drive them away with bows and arrows, and scarecrows.

There were many birds and birds, and the people let the children in the family go to trap them, and they also added some meat to the house. The most important thing is that they have a ruler who values the people, and the soldiers stationed in various places will regularly hunt wild beasts, especially the wild boar, which is the fastest breeding, which also reduces a lot of losses for the people.

It makes sense that there are many people and great strength, and the advantage of concentrated development is that they can take care of each other and drive away fierce beasts.

"I wonder if King Tang can tell me what the outcome of the battle will be between you and me?" Li Xiuning asked with concern.

"There's nothing to say about this, your eldest brother saw that the opportunity was wrong and withdrew his troops! You and I are both disabled, about 100,000, it's a pity! They are all good men in my Central Plains. Zou Yu sighed.

"More than 100,000 casualties!" Li Xiuning exclaimed. In just three days, the casualties were so large, no wonder she was surprised, the most important thing is that they lost, no matter what you know, most of the casualties are their people, after all, she has been living in the wounded barracks, how many people there are, there are a lot of people.

"I don't know if any generals have fallen?" Li Xiuning asked worriedly.

"Some are dead, and the specific names haven't been checked yet, but there shouldn't be too important people." Zou Yu shook his head slightly. On the battlefield, killing enemy generals will be recognized by prisoners after the battle, and these things are not in a hurry, because they are not reported.

After hearing that there were no important people, Li Xiuning breathed a sigh of relief, and then thought about why he failed.

"King Tang has arranged reinforcements?" Li Xiuning asked tentatively.

"No, it's more than 80,000 people!" Zou Yu shook his head and said.

"This..."Li Xiuning opened her cherry mouth wide in shock.

"This is normal, my soldiers have a lot of veterans of a hundred battles, and they have been on the battlefield since the time of the conquest of Goguryeo, and there are countless vicious battles big and small! What's more, when it comes to equipment, you're too far behind! Zou Yu shook his head and said.

"Are you going to attack Guanzhong?" Li Xiuning asked worriedly. If Zou Yu attacks Guanzhong, Li Xiuning is not worried about whether he can hold it, but even if he keeps it, I am afraid it will make life even more difficult, after all, the autumn harvest is coming now.

"Nope! I don't want war, the north is sparsely populated, and I have to guard against the Turks, the Goguryeo! There are also wild people such as the ghost party in Liaodong! Zou Yu said seriously.

I don't want to go to war, there are these reasons, but the main thing is that I don't want to slow down the development, except for the newly occupied places in Liaodong, the rest are engaged in large-scale development, and they have just begun, if because of the war, the people are involved, the gains outweigh the losses.

The three major mining areas are rich in mineral deposits, but it takes time, after all, manual mining cannot be fast.

"Well, the people of the world have experienced many years of turmoil, and it is time to recuperate." Li Xiuning hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"Yes, from the first year of the Great Cause to the present, the population has plummeted by more than 10 million, and if the civil war continues, the Central Plains will be occupied by the grassland tribes sooner or later!" Zou Yu thought of the later Jin, Liao, and Yuan, and his heart was unhappy for a while.

"Indeed it is! The tragic situation of more than 200 years ago cannot be happening. Li Xiuning followed.

"So I left Miss Li, just to want you to tell Li Yuan, don't attack me if you have nothing to do, I don't want war, but I'm definitely not afraid of war!" Zou Yu said cautiously.

"I will tell you this, in fact, I don't want to fight, but Tongguan is in the hands of King Tang, and Guanzhong is exposed to your iron horse, which makes my father sleep!" Li Xiuning explained.

"Huh! If Tongguan is in your hands, how can this king rest assured! Bingzhou itself is a place of four wars, if there is no level in hand, this time several of you attack at the same time, where is there a place to survive. Zou Yu said with a smile.

"This is all tempted by the Goguryeo people, when you set out to conquer Goguryeo, Goguryeo sent people across the sea, so everyone thought that your strength was empty, so they wanted to take advantage of it." Li Xiuning explained.

"So that's the case, the interests dictate, and no one is to blame! It's just that if there are any more people who don't know what to do in the future, I won't be polite. Zou Yu nodded and said.

"Don't worry about this, after this defeat, even if your father wants to attack you, he doesn't have that strength." Li Xiuning said with a wry smile.

"This is impossible, outside Tongguan, Li Shimin, there are still tens of thousands of horses, your Li family has so many families to support, it is not easy to pull up a team of hundreds of thousands of people." Zou Yu said in disbelief.

Not to mention the family, just the ordinary people in Guanzhong, there are one or two million people, and it is not very easy to pull a group of people out, besides, Li Yuan got Bashu again, Bashu has not experienced war, and the population is larger.

"The people of Guanzhong have been forced to work for many years, and they have been called up to fight many times, and the rest of them are very few strong. Bashu has been comfortable for many years, the people are tired of war, the soldiers have not been trained for a long time, and the armament is insufficient, and there is Jiangnan Xiao Milling eyeing the tiger, he has always been dissatisfied with his father's preemptive recovery of Bashu, fortunately he hit a wall in Lingnan, so there was no friction. Li Xiuning shook his head slightly and said.

Regarding what Li Xiuning said, Zou Yu only believed Sancheng, because every force has its own enemies, as for the so-called lack of armament, this is a lie, Bashu is rich, at least the grain output is taken, as for the soldiers, training is enough.

It's not that Li Yuan doesn't want to fight, but he can't fight, Zou Yu believes this, after all, he has a lot of enemies, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, Xiao Miao, Longyou Xue Ju, if Li Yuan's strength is greatly reduced, it is difficult to ensure that no one takes advantage of the fire to rob.

At the end of the war, Li Jiancheng retreated directly to the other side of the Yellow River in one go, because of the lack of manpower, Zou Yu did not chase after him. Another reason is that Li Jiancheng still has spare strength, and there are still 50,000 horses under his command intact, and it may not be good to catch up.

Puzhou was left to Su Dingfang to slowly recover, and Zou Yu took his personal guards to Shuozhou, because the Liang division was ready to move and was transferring troops, and news came from the steppe, and the Turks were also moving closer to the border.

In the autumn season, it is the time when the horses are fat and strong, the grassland will hold autumn hunting, many tribes will gather, this time is the most likely to become an invasion, this Zou Yu knows very well, so he does not dare to be careless.

Fortunately, when he arrived in Shuozhou, the Liang division did not send troops, and the Turks did not come, so they hunted wolves on the Shuozhou Plain.

There is a lot of good news, Wang Shichong has also withdrawn from the army, Li Shimin built a checkpoint at the mouth of the Yellow River outside Tongguan, obviously trying to block Zou Yu, Zou Yu doesn't care about this, after all, if you really want to fight Guanzhong, there is more than one road.

The most depressed must be said to say Dou Jiande, not to mention the loss of troops, did not take advantage of the slightest advantage, concentrated the troops on the front line, and fought in full swing, where do you know, the backyard caught fire, and people and horses suddenly appeared on the coastline of Shandong, attacking the city and plundering the land.
