PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!

said that it was a break, but in fact, Li Po was not idle, took people out of the city, and walked around the pastures in Yunnei.

Yunnei has gradually entered the summer, but there are only two light rains, and in the increasingly hot weather, the grass and trees are wilted and yellow.

The drinking water of cattle and sheep can still be guaranteed, because Yunnei began to dig wells to store water at the beginning of the year, but if it goes on like this, this year's war horses, cattle and sheep will not want to be fat and strong like last year.

In addition, in winter, the storage of eastern grass will also be seriously affected.

"Brother, if you go on like this, the cattle and sheep will not be able to survive the winter, especially the war horses, next spring, the war horses will be very thin and weak, and they will not be able to ride and fight at all......"

It was Yuen Long who spoke, this Kansai boy in the county government at the beginning, who had grown into a standard Qinchuan man, but the reason why he had been in charge of the racecourse and did not participate in the war made him look a little less fierce and more deep and restrained.

When he wrinkled his brows and spoke, he looked very powerful.

There were more than 100 people in this line, except for Li Po and Yuen Long's escorts, all of them were ranchers in Yunnei.

In fact, at this time, it is nonsense to work together, and people will win the day, and you don't have to think so much about the years when you rely on the sky to eat.

The reason why everyone gathers here is that Li Po inspected the ranch, and they all had to come when they knew the news, and they were all willing to get together with this nobleman, and it would be good if they could get a little extravagant.

And for Li Po, it can be known that he is inspecting the ranch. Showing concern for local matters will also serve the purpose. Reassuring people's hearts, nothing more than that.

If only there was something to be solved in this process? What's so hard about things in the world?

Therefore, this can only be a gesture, a gesture that reassures the people under his rule.

But after turning around, Li Po's mood was also very low, the drought was getting more and more serious, what Yuen Long said was not alarmist, the drought had a great impact on the herding of war horses.

On the contrary, the tomb robber Xu Zhao still maintained an optimistic mood. muttered beside him, "My subordinates watch the sky at night......"

Li Po glared at him fiercely, the meaning couldn't be more obvious, if you dare to pretend to be a ghost in front of me, you will have good fruit to eat.

Xu Zhao swallowed his saliva, and finally put aside the chatter of the gods, and spoke normally.

The subordinates walked along the river and went to Cangshui to see, but the water did not slow down much. In the early summer of this year, there may be less rain, but after the beginning of summer, the weather may be relieved. ”

He said it vaguely. It's not accurate, but Li Po understands the reason.

What Xu Zhao said was that there was not a lot of rain in the upper reaches of several water veins in Mayi. Then the tributaries of these veins will not dry up, which will help in the drought.

And. The hotter the weather, the more moisture evaporates. In the middle of summer, it may rain heavily.

Although the drought has become a drought and the effect of one or two rains is limited, it is crucial for the growth of forage after autumn, as long as a heavy rain falls, the winter forage reserves are even lost.

In addition to the fact that pasture is not a crop and irrigation is not easy, the benefits are also obvious, and the vitality is much more tenacious than that of crops.

Li Po bowed slightly, patted Xu Zhao's shoulder, although it was only a matter of one sentence, but this person has put a lot of effort, even Cangshui went, and he worked very hard.

"I heard that you married two more concubines?"

Before Xu Zhao could be proud, a basin of cold water was poured down, Xu Zhao was obviously trembling, and the thief's courage was small.

Of course, it's no wonder that he is afraid, everyone in Hengan Town and even in Yunnei knows that Li Po, the general of Hengan Town, now only has one wife and one concubine, and his subordinates have to weigh and weigh their concubines.

If you don't pay attention to these details, you don't have to mess around in officialdom.

Moreover, from the beginning of the emperor's reign, the folk style of concubines began to reined in, until Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, the two emperors, the word "prostitution", could not be put on their heads.

Needless to say, the common people, especially the officials, have formed certain customs, or rules, in marrying wives and concubines.

There is only one wife and no more than three concubines, which is almost the unspoken rule of middle and low-level officials, and if you exceed this number, the officials will talk to you, and you don't have to count on some important positions.

It is almost equivalent to the meaning of virtue is lacking and cannot be reused.

Therefore, the tomb robbers who cherished the hard-won official position also panicked.

"General, I ...... I just saw that they were pitiful, so I took them into my home......"

The stammering defense made Li Po look at him with disdain.

"Okay, there are few sons, it's nothing to take a few concubines, now there are wars in Mayi County every year, men die more, women don't live easily, as long as you can afford it, it's also a good thing to have more concubines."

"Look at this Yuan Ma Ling, he is still single, and it takes a lot of effort to marry a wife, and it is not beneficial to my Ma Yi, you don't want to learn from him."

Everyone around him was stunned for a moment, and then they all burst out laughing.

Yuen Long, who has always been worried about the country and the people, was said to be full of redness, these years, the weakness of men is obviously different from later, after fifteen, men who have not yet married, once they talk about family affairs, they can't raise their heads.

"I'm marrying a wife......

A futile struggle, to no avail.

Even Wang Qing, who has always been a baht and doesn't laugh very much, came to join in the fun, and said earnestly, "Brother Xian, marry a wife as soon as possible, otherwise even if you become famous, you will have no children and grandchildren to succeed you, isn't it beautiful?" ”

Yuen Long was furious, "Who said that I will have no children and grandchildren in the future, you can make it clear......"

A group of unscrupulous people began to laugh, teasing Hina's is what married men like to do the most.

Li Po patted Yuen Long's shoulder with a smile, "Brother is married to a princess, so naturally it takes a lot of thought, but Brother has to say something, Chang'an is so far away, and the road is not peaceful, and it is not easy to pass on the message, so you have to wait for this cave house." ”

Everyone laughed again, Yuen Long was more depressed, Li Po was really right, the letter from Chang'an was far away, and his marriage could only be delayed.

Moreover, what he is most afraid of is that his father has already found a family affair for him in Chang'an, so he will sit on wax, and he has not heard of the matter of marrying a wife and becoming a concubine.

Yuen Long was suddenly entangled, and his worries about the drought and the breeding of war horses were also much lighter.

This group of people in Yunnei is worried about the country and the people, and there are only a handful of people with great ambitions, the world is big, and their own affairs are the biggest, which is the characteristic of their group of people.

At this time, the worries of the ranchers also disappeared a lot in their laughter.

General, the officials were smiling so happily, it seemed that the situation was not necessarily so bad, they stood not far away, looking at the group of people with envy, and comforting themselves.

At ten o'clock on this day, Li Po returned to Yunnei City with people.

The order was immediately handed down, and Turkic prisoners of war were recruited into an army.

Up to now, the prisoners of war in the Heng'an Town Army have exceeded 10,000, including Sui and Turkic, no matter how unbearable they were before, but these people are the best source of cavalry.

As soon as the conscription order was issued, the army was formed very quickly, and the prisoners of war enthusiastically joined the army, desperately trying to get out of the slave status, and the list exceeded 5,000 in an instant.

Don't look at the food in the clouds, but the military mobilization ability is not bad at all.

In the end, the Hengan town army recruited 3,000 cavalry.

This time, the rewards for the previous battles will be able to be sent smoothly.

Promoted, 3,000 cavalrymen, from the leading captain, battalion captain, brigade commander, all the way to the army commander, were all drawn from the Heng'an Town Army, after a simple drill, proclaimed military discipline, and barely became an army.

This time, the army of Heng'an Town swelled violently again, and if you add the army stationed in Loufu and Mayi County, the number of people has almost exceeded 20,000.

In terms of numbers alone, it is already a military force to be reckoned with in the Northland.

And this expansion also shows Li Po's determination to send troops and his confidence in victory.

This is the same thing as the 11-year war of the Great Cause, full of desperate and determined not to win.

Preparations for war have been going on, and as soon as the conscription order arrives, the military system in the cloud begins to operate wildly.

Countless war horses were moved into the camp of the army, and countless swords, guns, armor, bows and crossbows came to the hands of the soldiers like water.

Not long after the smoke of the war dissipated, another war came not far away, and the rhythm of the troubled times was fully reflected in the clouds.

No matter how beautiful Li Po's words were before, the target of his troops this time would not be a foreign enemy.

Like a wolf, he set his sights on Youzhou, Hebei, which was still known as wealthy.

It is a taboo for soldiers to attack far away, but Heng'an has no choice but to fight the army.

The long Flying Fox Road, Li Po's scalp tingled when he thought about it, what a difficult and dangerous journey it was for so many cavalry to walk over.

And time is not on his side, at most before September, this adventurous war must be ended, otherwise, the army can only spend the winter in Hebei.

In that case, the situation in Mayi would become very dangerous, and the Turkic threat would increase greatly.

Moreover, it is impossible to predict how much of a result this battle will be.

More importantly, the so-called soldiers are fast, and if they are not prepared, they will also become a lie in front of the towering Taihang Mountain and the narrow Flying Fox Road.

As a result, the formulation of strategies has become obstructive.

Chen Yuan, Luo Shixin and others, who had experienced the war in Hebei, were surprised when they heard that they were going to attack Youzhou, Hebei, and they all tightened their brows.

According to them, it is that the Youzhou soldiers have enough food and food, and it is not easy to take it lightly.

(This is the end of the discussion, emperors are all monsters, and there is no need to distinguish between good and bad, in fact, Ah Cao feels that as long as the emperor who can make the Central Plains Empire strong, he is a good emperor, Ah Cao agrees with a book friend, in the online world, they are all fictional characters, in real life, national heroes are still those national heroes, and that's right.) )
