Chapter Ninety-Seven: Meat Can Be Eaten

Now, the only thing that can be done is probably to hoard food in advance with the power of the East Palace.

Naturally, it is not possible to mobilize grain within the Guanzhong, but when it comes out of the Guanzhong, the freight is astronomical, and how to get it is still a huge problem.

During this period of time, in addition to the money consumed by the army, there was actually a lot left. It's just that this part of the money is still a drop in the bucket in the face of the disaster at the entire Guanzhong level.

What to do?

Li Chengqian admits that he is not a person with a heart like a stone, so he can't be ruthless and don't know about it.

The locust plague is a disaster even in modern times, let alone the Tang Dynasty, where there was no surplus food at home.

What to do....

For the whole night, Li Chengqian couldn't get a good night's sleep, so much so that when he got up in the morning, there was a big bubble at the corner of his mouth.

Changsun Chong and the others lived next door, and when everyone got up at night, they would deliberately go outside his tent to listen.

knew that he was thinking about things, but from Li Jing to them, no one knew what the prince was thinking.

I couldn't sleep all night, but I still had to practice my sword the next morning.

Looking at Li Chengqian, who was in a trance and was almost hit by a wooden stake, Li Jing finally couldn't bear to stop him.

"The stabbing of the sword requires full attention, and His Highness is in such a trance, and it can't play a role in exercising. Coupled with the fact that your hand has been injured, let's stop practicing the sword for the time being! ”

stopped Li Chengqian's sword practice, Li Jing called his son again, and the three of them went into the small wooden shed where the art of war was taught.

Yesterday only the Six Flower Formation was shown, however, a pattern is obviously not the essence of this formation.

From the square normal battle team, to the common military formations such as the one-word long snake formation, and then to the six-flower formation, the way of change is the real knowledge.

After demonstrating for a while, seeing that although Li Chengqian was listening carefully, he was still preoccupied, Li Jing had no choice but to sigh: "Your Highness, why don't you fight against Weichen again?" ”

"Huh? All right! ”

Li Chengqian casually agreed, and then still set up a formation called "gluttonous array" as he did yesterday.

This time, Li Jing was still pretending to be a Turkic army. Unlike yesterday, as soon as Li Jing appeared, he put on more than a dozen sharp arrow formations.

The two armies fought, this time Li Jing's special thief, with the help of these dozen sharp arrow formations, simply polished Li Chengqian's cavalry little by little, when facing the gluttonous array of the main formation, Li Jing did not choose to hit hard, but to break into pieces, as far as possible not close to the center of the position, but sneak attack on all sides, as soon as they touched, do not give the gluttonous array a chance to open their mouths at all.

In just two pillars of incense, Li Chengqian was defeated, and the formation was shattered.

Messing up the chess pieces, Li Chengqian said helplessly: "I lost, Wei Gong is really powerful." ”

Li Jing was not excited, but said helplessly: "In fact, the old man is also tricky, and it is difficult for the Turks to carry out such a layout. At least so far, the old man has never seen a commander from the Turks who can use such a strategy. His Royal Highness's formation is still very powerful, and when dealing with the Turkic army, I am afraid it can be of great use! ”

"Against the Turks?"

Li Chengqian just thought about it, and remembered the time of the fall of the Eastern Turks.

Zhenguan for three years, less than four years from the Weishui Alliance! Even after the locust plague, the Tang Dynasty still killed the Eastern Turks strongly, and even Jieli was captured and trained as a dancer by Li Shimin.

Turkic?

That's right, Turkic!

Li Chengqian, who was originally depressed, suddenly became enlightened when he heard the word "Turkic."

Thankfully bowed to Li Jing, Li Chengqian said: "Thank you Wei Gong for waking up, Gu has already thought about it!" ”

After saying that, he returned to his tent and began to write letters to Yongsheng Distillery and Li Dahai's Distillery.

After the letter was sent away, Li Chengqian also breathed a sigh of relief, returned to the tent and began to sleep.

That's right, there is really no way to solve the problem of tangling with food, but it is much more convenient to start with the Turks.

The Turks don't have food, but they have meat! The Turkic people, who live as nomads, have fertile pastures in their hands, and naturally there is no shortage of cattle and sheep. Although beef and mutton are a bit extravagant, they are also a type of food.

Coincidentally, the inferior wine produced by Li Dahai Distillery successfully conquered the mouths of the grassland people through the transmission of the grassland caravan. From the nobles to the ordinary herdsmen, everyone is proud to drink this wine. The price of a jar of high wine was spontaneously quarreled from half a sheep to five sheep or even a cow.

And the consumption of brewing this jar of wine, compared with cattle and sheep, is not a fart!

After deciding on a plan to exchange inferior grain for cattle and sheep, Li Chengqian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this is really a pit for the Turks, but for the pit of foreigners, at least the conscience will not hurt too much, right?

As long as his own people can eat enough, who cares if the Turks suffer or not.

Seeing that the prince had finally fallen asleep, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It was very dangerous to be by the prince's side, and when the prince was injured, they were guilty, and when the prince fell ill, they were also guilty. If the crown prince is assassinated or killed, heh, even if they are the eldest sons of each family, they can't bear such a crime.

Li Chengqian's anxiety, they all really felt it. People are overly anxious, even if they are in good health, they can't resist it for long.

Now that the prince is sleeping peacefully, they finally have the leisure to exercise well.

The hand is injured, and you can't practice the sword anymore. However, Li Jing's military law class continued.

The six-flower array is very simple, and the one-word long snake array or something is very simple. But knowing when to use which formations, which formations and which formations to switch between faster is the real knowledge.

Under Li Jing's teaching, Li Chengqian only took five days to throw Li Dejian to the ends of the earth.

There is no way, no matter how talented Li Dejian is, he can't compare with Li Chengqian, the difference in vision between modern people and ancient people, especially between adults and children, is simply heaven and earth.

Just when Li Jing had to slow down the progress of the course, Zhao Yongsheng, the shopkeeper of Yongsheng Distillery, found the military camp.

Zhao Yongsheng was naturally not qualified to enter the barracks where even the generals of the national family could enter, so Li Chengqian met with Zhao Yongsheng five miles outside the barracks.

As soon as they met, Zhao Yongsheng cried and knelt down in front of the carriage: "Okay, my Royal Highness the Prince, how can you let the old man stop brewing, those people are better, the high-ranking official's mansion heard that we were going to stop brewing, so he directly sent someone over to smash the door." After Fang Xiang learned about it, he also wrote to question. Especially the supply of the palace, Xiao Lao'er, an ordinary businessman, how dare he say that he will cut it off! ”

Lifting the door curtain and looking at Zhao Yongsheng who was kneeling on the ground, Li Chengqian didn't know what to say for a while.

Damn, how did this guy manage to be so big and cry so emotionally?

Knowing that his legs were not good, Li Chengqian ordered the guards to set him up.

didn't get out of the carriage, Li Chengqian sat in the carriage and stretched out his hand to signal Zhao Yongsheng to approach.

After waving his hand to repel the surrounding guards, Li Chengqian hated iron and said: "What can't withstand the pressure, in Lone's opinion, you bastard is just reluctant to make money!" Good guys, you can't get more than forty percent of the people, they all make so much money, it's still the first year, you account for sixty percent, and you earn more! Bastard, you patted your big belly, and dared to tell Gu that you couldn't bear the pressure from above, so you came to find Gu? ”
