Chapter 495: The Two of them calculated
As soon as the emperor came to Jiangling, commerce flourished throughout the city, after all, Emperor Yang of Sui came with his courtiers and tens of thousands of guards and horses.
Why not a million soldiers and horses, because these soldiers and horses were not all assembled in Luoyang at once, but directly deployed from various state capitals, set off from various places according to the requirements of the Ministry of War, and then gathered at the designated location.
The atmosphere in Youzhou City has been a bit tense lately, and it is one of several important geographical locations leading to Liaoshui, or passing from Turkic territory.
Or go to this side of Youzhou, basically every day there are soldiers and horses staying outside Youzhou, and the vanguard is highly nervous about them.
After all, I don't know what will happen, and what is more important is that there are too many people responsible for transporting logistics materials, and the sixteen states of Youji have received money and food to send people.
Li De, as the governor of the capital, couldn't ignore it, he thought of a trick to work but couldn't help, and the workshop in charge of the Lu brothers recruited a large number of people to work during this period.
To produce a wooden unicycle, if you want to supply millions of soldiers and horses, it is not enough to rely on the shoulders and hands, with the unicycle can save a lot of time.
When the news of the imperial court's assembly reached Youzhou City, Li De ordered people to start preparations, and the people would definitely not be able to pay for it.
Therefore, the objects of sales are those who lead the team, dozens of times are nothing to them, and they have to consider speeding up the transportation speed, and it is not difficult to buy and sell if they grasp the needs of customers.
On the way north of Youzhou City, rows of brand-new wheelbarrows are placed next to it, the vanguard has a special guard, and there is a simple wooden house for settling accounts.
Even if you don't buy it, it doesn't matter if you don't buy it, most of them are for soldiers and civilians, and if you want to drink tea, you need to pay for it.
Along the way, there were many simple tea stalls set up by the pioneers.
The investment is all in charge of Weili's commercial house, in addition to tea and food, Li De used to be Guangluqing in charge of the Shangshi Bureau, it doesn't matter if you don't have time to eat delicious food.
There are many types of food that can be packed, such as cabbage rice, pies of various flavors, steamed buns, steamed dumplings, tea eggs, and baked naan that can be stored for a long time.
Every time you go to a tea stall, there will be people who will keep publicizing it, and those who want to eat all kinds of food will point out how far away.
The Weili trading house also organized the people to open a small market on the road where your buddies passed, and all kinds of things could be sold and vegetables could be provided to the pioneer food stalls.
In less than ten days, the stalls almost became the norm, and everyone took what they needed, not only providing food supplies for the passing soldiers, but also providing convenience for the merchants.
"Governor, this idea you have come up with is really good, we have made a lot of money in a few days, and the people who went to the market are all happy."
"How's the wheelbarrow selling?" Li De asked.
Small markets, tea stalls, and food sellers are all temporary ideas, and wheelbarrows are an industry, and the workshop raises a lot of people, so it must be paid attention to.
"Thirty unicycles are sold every day." Wei Li replied.
"Well, don't worry, now is not the time to be urgent." Li De said indifferently.
"Governor, so many wheelbarrows are not less production." Wery suggested.
"No, there is a large demand for materials and barracks now, don't worry, I believe it won't be long before the imperial court will procure it." Li De said, Wei Li didn't understand too much, but this did not affect him to continue to act according to orders.
Just when the Sui State was assembling troops and horses, Sashui's Goryeo and other soldiers and horses had already made full preparations, and the Turks had already sent troops to the border area of the Sui State.
The target is not Youzhou but Shuofang, because Yuwen Chengdu's Xiao cavalry guards withdrew, and they lost a strong opponent to take advantage of the empty defense to fight the autumn wind.
When Emperor Yang of Sui was touring in Jiangling, a battle report came from Shuofang, and the Turks had gathered 50,000 soldiers and horses to rush through Shuofang's defense line.
The courtiers in Luoyang and Chang'an were nervous, and the news was sent to Jiangling as soon as the horse was sent back, which delayed a lot of time.
"Yuwen Chengdu, no, hurry up and go to the northwest to ask for help." Emperor Yang of Sui planned to let Yuwen Chengdu go, but think about Yuwen Chengdu leading the Xiao cavalry guards to protect his safety and not let him leave.
Youzhou and Luoyang were guarded by guards, and he believed that the Turks were not trying to seize the capital, it was undoubtedly self-defeating, and he could only pin his hopes on the king of the backers.
Eight hundred miles of urgency, within three days I don't know how many horses ran to death, the news was sent to the hands of the king of the backer, and soon the northwest soldiers sent 50,000 soldiers and horses to Shuofang to intercept the enemy.
Cheng Zhijie saw such an opportunity and immediately led people to follow the Northwest Soldiers, this time the Northwest Soldiers dispatched 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the generals were the backer Wang Yizi, the eldest Tai Bao Fang and the Second Taibao Xue Liang, the Sixth Taibao Gao Liang and the Seventh Taibao Su Cheng, as well as Wei Chigong.
The soldiers are fast, Cheng Zhijie and You Junda can be regarded as seeing the strength of the Northwest soldiers, just to say that this speed is comparable to ordinary soldiers and horses.
"Lao You, you see that Wei Chigong is very angry this time."
Cheng Zhijie and You Junda followed with their people, Wei Chigong is now the captain of the Northwest Army, leading 2,000 soldiers, and he was very angry when he saw him riding a tall horse in front of him, wearing battle armor.
Cheng Zhijie looked at where he was mocking, it was clearly envy, You Junda knew what kind of person Cheng Zhijie was, and he didn't say anything, but said: "When we get to Youzhou, let the owner make you a big official." ”
Cheng Zhijie was so smart that he immediately said loudly: "Don't talk nonsense, others still think that the Metropolitan Governor is a person who does not distinguish between government decrees, and we brothers should not make such jokes between them." ”
In fact, he already had a plan in his heart, he really didn't want to run the cattle and horses of the Northwest Army, where is it interesting to lead troops to fight.
Youzhou's battle report will be received by the Northwest soldiers as soon as possible, and it is exciting to hear it, thinking that his character has long wanted to defect, but he knows that he can only get more after he runs the Northwest Cattle and Horse Store well.
You Junda saw that Cheng Zhijie's silence seemed to have something on his mind, and asked: "Old Cheng, what do you think, it's rare to see you thinking about things so attentively." ”
"I didn't think about anything, I won't want to go back to the northwest when I get to Youzhou." Cheng Zhijie said.
"But what about business here?" You Junda said.
"Hey, Lao You, I think you're very good, wait until I tell the owner to let you be in charge, how happy you are." Cheng Zhijie smiled weirdly.
"Don't, I know what I have to do, if I want to say that running a cottage villa may be able to deal with it, let me master things, I can't do it." You Junda excused himself, who didn't have a little calculation in his heart.
Cheng Zhijie This is a chance to give him a chance to be in charge, but he wants to join the vanguard and make a difference on the battlefield.
