Chapter 561: Protecting the Territory and the People

The workshops in the city were busy, making a lot of compressed food, even if the output was limited even if they worked overtime, and in order to adapt to this food, everyone kept three pieces of food.

Directly let them use three compressed biscuits as a ten-day ration, which is all planned training, and they can have a big meal after sticking to it.

It is considered a benefit of ten days of training, and Li De has set up a condition, ten days is the foundation, and the more benefits are insisted on one more day, the maximum support is fifteen days, and if the limit is reached, the official will be directly promoted to the next level.

With such a rich reward, everyone wants to fight, and the soldiers who can adhere to Xiali become elites, elites become team leaders, team leaders become team leaders, team leaders become team leaders, team leaders become squadron leaders......

Now the regular team has reached 150,000 soldiers and horses, and this method of upgrading can give them a lot of encouragement, they used to be from humble families, and they have experienced starvation.

After coming to the vanguard, there was no worry or food problem, except for training, I never went hungry, and now let them stick to it with three pieces of compressed food, which is able to persist for the elite guards, they have all experienced such training.

Unfortunately, they were not allowed to participate in this activity, and they all became supervising instructors, and the soldiers were very active, and in their opinion, they were only holding out for about ten days.

Li De's training is to let the soldiers adapt to this kind of food, anyway, if it is completed within fifteen days, it will be qualified and surpassed, and there will be benefits.

There is no limit to the soldiers who participate in the event, after all, the production of compressed food is limited, and those who participate in the workshop labor are not allowed to participate, but the main meal will still be distributed with compressed food.

The purpose is to get the soldiers used to this food, and after the reasonable arrangement, after the snow melts, their training is nearing the end, and then they all have to enter the combat state.

Li De's research on compressed food was very successful, and the construction of the breeding workshop in one winter also developed, and in the winter the enclosure room of the farm was full of fire kangs, and the soldiers who had seen it were very envious of these livestock.

There is good food and drink every day, and there are people waiting to clean up, and the environment is really not to say.

"Governor Dadu, the current reserve of the food workshop is enough for 10,000 soldiers and horses to distribute half a month's rations, which has reached the production limit, and at this rate, after spring ploughing, 50,000 soldiers and horses can bring enough rations for ten days." Hebida made various reports.

Compressed food is the key to preparing grain and grass for war, and the current output is already a bottleneck, not a shortage of manpower, but there is enough grain, but all kinds of grains such as eggs need to be transported by merchants.

After He Bida finished talking about some war preparations, he continued: "Yang Xuangan has been besieged by the Li family's soldiers and horses in Penglai, should we send troops to suppress the bandits." ”

Li De was a little curious, I heard that Tang Guogong Li Yuan had already launched an attack on Yang Xuangan before the winter, and the snow was almost gone, why hadn't it been solved yet.

"Metropolitan Governor, Tang Guogong's attack on Yang Xuangan is a bit delayed, maybe there are other considerations, and the casualties on both sides are not large." Hobida Road.

Li De immediately understood that the current situation was just a trial.

Tang Guogong didn't knock down Penglai directly, there must be something he didn't know.

Li De's guess is not wrong, Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guogong, is a smart person, and the reason why he is so procrastinating is just to make a show for Emperor Yang of Sui.

The location of Penglai is very good, close to the sea, but Li Yuan defeated Yang Xuangan first and he didn't get the opportunity to govern Penglai, which was equivalent to working for Emperor Yang of Sui for nothing.

In this case, the benefits that were previously discussed become negotiable.

Many people don't understand why the Li family's 30,000 soldiers and horses didn't defeat Yang Xuangan, and even after He Bida discussed with the captains, if he was replaced by a low-belly capable soldier, he was afraid that he would be able to defeat the enemy in a few days.

The combat effectiveness of the Li family's soldiers and horses is relatively powerful, why can't they be defeated.

"Metropolitan Governor, it stands to reason that with the strength of the Li family's soldiers and horses, they should not be able to hold the battle for so long, could it be that Tang Guogong has other plans?" Hebida asked.

"Hebida, you've really grown." Li Dedao.

"Then the Metropolitan Governor is willing to solve our doubts!" Hebida asked.

Li De was silent for a moment, and said: "It is not difficult to explain, Tang Guogong is a very vengeful person, according to the information provided by Red Peony, the first thing the Li family's soldiers and horses did after arriving in Penglai was to settle the people." ”

He Bida suddenly understood, and immediately knew why, what Tang Guogong wanted was influence, simply put, it was the people's will, and Yang Xuangan's rebellion itself was a great rebellion.

It is reasonable for the Li family to have an edict from the emperor to conquer the people, and the first thing to do after arriving in Penglai is to appease the people.

Tang Guogong was calculating the influence, the reputation of the Li family, putting the lives and lives of the people first, don't look at it, there are no swords and soldiers to meet, but the war has already started since they arrived.

"Tang Guogong knows that even if he defeats Yang Xuangan, what he can gain, it is just a peaceful rebellion, if he can take root in Penglai, this is the goal." Li Dedao.

"Tang Guogong governs Taiyuan Mansion, and it shouldn't be possible to manage Penglai, so why talk about taking root?" He Bida wondered.

"You forgot that they are trying to win over the hearts of the people, and they have a big plan!" Li Dedao.

He Bida pondered, a national prince has a big plan, and there is no need to guess anything more when he says this.

"I see, it seems that the reputation of the Li family to protect the territory and the people has been earned this time." He Bida sighed.

He now understands that it is much easier to do things after having a good reputation, and recruiting troops and horses is of great help, He Bida thought of this and suddenly asked: "Then do we want to protect the territory and the people!" ”

"Of course, it's just that the matter will be solved by the soldiers and horses of Youzhou, Tang Guogong will satisfy them if he wants to settle the people, and Yang Xuangan's soldiers and horses will be solved by the vanguard." Li De said calmly.

He Bida understood that the vanguard sent troops to solve Yang Xuangan's maximization of benefits, which was also a way to raise war by fighting.

"But can the people of the Li family wait until after spring ploughing?" He Bida wondered.

If Yang Xuangan had been solved by the Li family before the vanguard set out for the expedition, wouldn't there be nothing to do without them.

"What the Li family wants is the hearts of the people, the hearts of the people cannot be obtained by war, what the people want is to have a stable life, Tang Guogong knows this deeply, as long as Yang Xuangan does not take the initiative to deal with the situation, the state of both of them will continue."

"You should know something about Yang Xuangan's situation, the book business is angry, and I wish it would be a stalemate to give them time to develop." Li De explained.

He Bida felt that according to Li De's analysis, the two of them might really continue like this.

"If it weren't for the military city, I would like to go and meet this Yang Xuangan for a while." Hobida Road.

It's definitely not a hero who cherishes a hero, but just wants to see what kind of person can dare to openly rebel in such a headwind situation.
