Chapter 231: Difficult to March

It has snowed heavily in Chang'an City in the past few days, and the goose-feather-like snow has fallen on the roofs and tree branches, and soon, the entire Chang'an City has become a snow-capped ice and snow world.

Tomorrow is going to go on the expedition, and Li Kuan has been busy enough in the past two days.

Is there enough woolen clothing produced in the workshop, is the whale skin boots good for warmth, will the duck down coat be too bulky, can the production of hand crossbows be increased, and has the quality of the telescope improved......

Li Kuan personally confirmed all kinds of matters.

Fortunately, as long as he is responsible for the thousands of men and horses in the forward battalion, otherwise he really can't correspond.

"Lord Wang, Miss Cheng has been waiting in the house for a while."

The sky had already darkened, and as soon as Li Kuan returned to the courtyard, Laifu told himself that Cheng Jingwen was here.

"She came on her own?"

Cheng Jingwen rarely takes the initiative to find Li Kuan, especially alone.

"Yes, just a maid and an old servant who drove the car."

"I see, it's over."

The expedition will be set out tomorrow, such a big thing has happened in Chang'an City, it is impossible for Cheng Jingwen not to know, and Li Kuan can probably guess the purpose of her coming.

"Guess who I am?"

As soon as Li Kuan entered the lobby, he saw Cheng Jingwen standing by the window, looking at the snowflakes outside in a daze, not knowing what was on her mind.

"Ahh Cheng Jingwen was startled at first, and then the whole person immediately relaxed, "Lord Wang, don't make trouble." ”

Cheng Jingwen said as she took Li Kuan's hand away from her eyes.

However, the little hand fell into Li Kuan's palm and couldn't be opened.

If it was usual, Cheng Jingwen would definitely not let Li Kuan succeed, but today is a bit special, she didn't pull it away after a little twitch twice, and she actually appointed the same.

"It's snowing so hard, why don't you stay in the house, what are you doing here?"

Hearing Li Kuan say this, Cheng Jingwen pouted, "You are embarrassed to ask, you will go on the expedition tomorrow, and you won't tell me." ”

"It's just a Tuyuhun, and in a few months, this king will come back."

Li Kuan didn't want Cheng Jingwen to worry, so he pretended to be relaxed and said.

"Lord Wang, Jingwen is also a born general, you are treating me as a fool. Tuyuhun has been able to establish a country for more than 300 years without falling, and naturally it has its own uniqueness, which must not be underestimated. ”

"Rest assured, Wei Guogong personally led the troops to the battle, and he will definitely be able to come triumphantly."

At this time, there is no point in explaining more, and Cheng Jingwen naturally didn't come here to listen to Li Kuan's explanation.

"Lord, now in the cold winter, listen to my grandfather, Tuyuhun is even colder, I knitted a set of woolen clothes, you see if it fits." Cheng Jingwen pointed to a package on the side a little cowardly, "Don't dislike the ugliness of weaving." ”

"When you wear the woolen sweater you knit, not only your body is warm, but also your heart is warm. I put it on after taking a shower today and kept it on until I returned to Chang'an. ”

"Phew! It's all there to coax people. It's strange that a piece of clothing is worn for a few months and doesn't become stinky. ”

said so, but Cheng Jingwen was very happy in her heart.

A woman's words should be heard in reverse, and many times they are correct.

"When I come back from the expedition, I will ask someone to go to the Suguo Mansion to propose relatives."

Suddenly hearing such a sentence coming out of Li Kuan's mouth, Cheng Jingwen's face flushed, "Who ...... Who promised to marry you! ”

As soon as the words fell, Cheng Jingwen quickly withdrew her little hand, and then trotted out of the lobby like a frightened deer, but when she was leaving, she turned around and ordered, "Lord Wang, you must come back safely, Jingwen is waiting for you in Chang'an City." ”

……

When the forward battalion went out, there was no oath meeting, and no one read any documents to ask for thieves.

The day before Chinese New Year's Eve, Li led the forward battalion out of Chang'an City in a low-key manner and headed all the way west.

Although it was a snowy day, there were people clearing the snow on the official road from time to time, so it was not impossible to march.

In addition, the whole army was cavalry, and Li Kuan's escort was even more one-man and two-horse, and the forward battalion marched faster than expected.

"Lord Wang, Manager Xue has already brought a group of people to Liangzhou in advance, calculate the time, it should be almost there."

Although Wang Xuance was a literati, Li Kuan still took him with him this time, took charge of the logistics of the forward battalion, and temporarily acted as a marching horse.

The logistics of more than 4,000 people is simple and complicated.

Especially this time, Li Kuan plans to go deep into Tuyuhun and not destroy Fu Yun and not retreat, which requires more preparations.

Chang'an City is more than ten days away from Liangzhou, and many things, if you take them from Chang'an, it will affect the speed of the march to some extent, so it is better to let Ma Zhou prepare in advance in Liangzhou.

Of course, such as telescopes, crossbows, fire oil bombs, etc., this can only be brought from Chang'an.

"This time, we attacked Tuyuhun as a striker, like an arrow of an arrow, which requires the Hu people who are equally familiar with the situation to lead the way, and it is best for someone to clean up the battlefield in the back, otherwise a lot of supplies will not be able to be taken away, and those vultures and wild wolves will be cheapened out of thin air."

Although Li Jing repeatedly told Li Kuan not to leave the army too far, he was not subject to military orders when he was outside.

Li Kuan equipped the pawns of all the workshops in the Chu Palace's mansion to the forward battalion, naturally he didn't come to travel, as long as he was not directly facing the main force of the Wang army in Tuyuhun, Li Kuan was not afraid at all.

With the advantage of equipment, the advantage of fierce generals, well-trained soldiers, and logistics preparations beyond the times, if Tuyuhun is not destroyed, Li Kuan is really not ready to return to Chang'an City.

"Lord Wang, this down jacket and whale skin boots are really warm, originally the last general was worried that the winter march would be relatively low, morale would be relatively low, and it was easy for someone to get frostbite, but now it seems that there is no problem at all."

When it set off today, the first thing the forward battalion did was to change its clothes and boots, bring the dry food specially prepared by the Chu Palace, and then go out to the door.

"General Su, the outer lining of this down jacket is made of whale skin, the inner lining is made of silk or wool cloth, and the middle is filled with duck down or goose down, which is naturally not comparable to ordinary warm clothing. Even this glove is made of whale skin and wool cloth.

The prince specially asked people to test it, and the general light rain couldn't help our clothes at all. Especially boots, even if you walk on the snow, you don't have to worry about getting soaked, let alone frostbitten your feet, otherwise where would the prince dare to propose to go on the expedition in the winter? ”

Wang Xuance explained proudly on the side; It's probably the coldest time of the year, but when you put on a down jacket and a woolen sweater, especially a down jacket and a hat, you don't feel the chill at all.

These clothes were originally the products launched by the treasure pavilion and the clothing store this year, but the army went out to use them, so they were naturally all misappropriated by Li Kuan, and even after receiving the information from Liangzhou, the next day he asked the workshop to speed up the preparation of various cold materials.

Otherwise, it would be a bit difficult to get the clothes of thousands of people for a while.

Even now, there are some people who have problems with unfit clothes such as too wide clothes, but these are trivial things, and it doesn't affect the warmth.
