"Lao Xu, Baolai, I can't go this time, everything can only be entrusted to the two of you, go to Li Jing's account, restrain your pride, and listen to Li Jing. If you are assigned by Li Jing to the accounts of other generals, you have to be careful of one person. ”

"Master Hou is talking about General Li Ji?" Xu Jingzong took Cai Cong's words and asked.

Cai Cong nodded and said: "It is General Li Ji, Baolai should know best when he has been an errand under him, he likes to use people's lives to establish military discipline, especially those close to him and those who have the ability, so he shows his selflessness." ”

"That's right, General Li always likes to take the knife on people close to him, and I have seen this with my own eyes." Meng Baolai nodded and said, he had seen Li Ji kill a distant nephew in order to establish military discipline.

"Now that my new army has no coach with me, they don't dare to embarrass you too much, they just need to pay attention to themselves. There is a treasure in the march and battle, and I am not worried. It's just that the wind and snow outside the gate today are afraid to be extremely harsh, Lao Xu, the logistics must be done well, today you and the team are about to check, to see if anyone secretly sent the winter clothes and winter quilts home, if there is, immediately reissue, without these bedding to be locked up and waiting to be frozen to death!

And go back, I will ask my Uncle Gang to send you a batch of leather clothes, be sure to ensure that everyone has one, if anyone dares to rob it, don't give me any fear, fight to death, understand? These leather clothes are not given by me to the soldiers, and they are also supplies from the imperial court, but they are made of the skins of those beasts killed by the brothers over the years, and they belong to them, so whoever dares to rob them, regardless of the official position, give me a beating, if you are really targeted, I will make your decisions when you come back. ”

Cai Cong said viciously, it's not that he has a problem with his thinking, but in that environment, a leather coat may be able to save a life, he doesn't dare to guarantee that in that environment, others will reason with you, and those who occupy power and take advantage of it are afraid that they will not be in the minority.

"Master Hou, don't worry! We will never embarrass you outside, if anyone has the strength not to go outside, and then bully their own people, then Baolai will fight to kill him first. ”

Meng Baolai said ferociously, he is no longer the martial guard who has to nod when he sees everyone, whoever wants to bully him has to weigh whether he can eat or not.

Cai Cong waved his hand, he just reminded him that there was no need to be indignant as if he had been bullied.

"Lao Xu, you arrange for someone to count the medicine depot to see if there are any missing, and immediately ask my Uncle Gang to make up for it. In addition, bring more than 20,000 stickers of medicinal materials, Your Majesty handed over the collection of medicinal materials to General Cheng Yanjin, he is still annoyed with me now, he will not import medicinal materials from Cai's family, at that time, there are no medicinal materials to suffer from the soldiers, you try to bring as many as possible, in case of emergency. ”

Cai Cong was ruthless in the end, taking the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers as a play, and instructed Xu Jingzong to prepare more medicinal materials.

On this day, there was a war and agitation inside and outside Chang'an, and when the drums sounded, the butchers who sold meat in the meat stalls and the men who bought the meat turned around and left, leaving an empty meat stall, cheap those called Huazi.

When the farmer who was working in the field heard the sound of the drum, he ignored the hoe and walked away, but his mother-in-law had a worried face but did not dare to say anything, and followed the man home, put on a helmet and armor for the man, and tightened the rope with all her strength, hoping that the armor would protect the safe return of her man.

The butcher was dressed in armor made of iron sheets, and carried two heavy hammers to go out, and his women did not dare to cry, and it was unlucky for a man to go on a march, and for a woman to cry.

"If Lao Tzu doesn't come back and raise two babies, as long as they can support themselves, you will find a good man to marry." The butcher didn't dare to look at his mother-in-law, but he picked up the two babies and kissed them a few times, holding them in his arms for a long time and reluctant to let go.

The farmer's bamboo armor is thin, paper-like iron inside. He hesitated for a long time and finally made a choice, and said to his mother-in-law: "This hoe is reserved for you to use, and you and the children should do more work in the field. ”

"Master, you should take this hoe with you! Give me a rake, it is enough to have a rake, and you don't need to turn the soil to grow vegetables. The peasant woman snatched the rake from his hand, shoved the hoe into his hand, put a few raw eggs in his baggage, and held the child in her arms, not daring to look at the farmer again.

"I'm going, if I don't come back in the spring next year, you can sow and plant seedlings by yourself, don't miss the season." The farmer said that he would take the hoe and leave, he did not even have a quilt, and if he took the quilt, his wife and children would freeze to death in winter.

The peasant woman leaned against the door and watched, and when the man disappeared from sight, her tears finally blurred his vision.

The military system of the Tang Dynasty, the soldiers are idle during the war, and now that the war drums have sounded, they have to report to the military government, if they are late, they will be beheaded with a military stick or a heavy one.

In addition to the soldiers who reported to the army, there were also many rangers, who had a lot of money, prepared horses, armor, and weapons, and became an army of their own, looking for that battle merit on the battlefield like a mercenary.

Declaration, mobilization, mobilization of morale, more than 10,000 people in each place, as few as 1,000 people, the shouts shook Chang'an, and the birds in the mountains and forests outside the city were frightened by the shouts and flew in the air, not daring to fall.

Li Shimin climbed high and looked, the remnant sun was like blood, the sunset was in the western mountains, and it was Turkic to walk along the west, Li Shimin seemed to have seen countless flesh and blood splashing in the deafening shout, and the shame in his heart would also be washed away by the flesh and blood.

Those foreigners who do business in Chang'an are frightened, the Central Plains Dynasty has always been a small country and the fear of nomads, for thousands of years, the countries around the Central Plains, the nation is changed one stubble after another, Rong Di, Xiongnu, Donghu, Rouran, Wuhuan, Xianbei, to today's Turkic, that is wave after wave, taking advantage of the civil strife in the Central Plains Dynasty, they came to show off their might, but in the end? After all, they will be lost in the long river of history, and only this ancient country has stood for thousands of years.

Now that the kingdom has regained its terrible power, it will make all the nations around him dare not look at him again.

Datang showed terrible military strength at this time, hundreds of thousands of troops were assembled in three days, and on the day of departure, the willow trees by the Weishui River were broken and only the bare trunk remained, and each branch was full of the family's wish for the return of the king, and was solemnly placed on the chest closest to the heart by the soldiers.

Sister Cai couldn't laugh anymore when she saw this scene, she knew that Cai Cong didn't have to go out with the army, she was very happy. In her impression, her son likes to intervene no matter what, even if it has nothing to do with him.

This time her son stopped, she happily worshiped God everywhere, and the smile on her face did not disappear for a few days. But seeing the face of the person who saw him off with red eyes and forced not to cry, she suddenly felt that she was too much, and she blamed herself for a while.

"Baolai, this time I must kill more Turkic bastards for Lao Tzu, when we established Taibai Tower, we promised them that we would let them see the scene of the Turkic destruction.

Many people can't see it anymore, speaking of which, we broke the appointment, but there are still people alive in that compound, Lao Tzu hopes that you will capture Jie Lisheng back to Chang'an, and I hope that they will have the courage to come out of the compound that day and see what happened to the former thief chieftain. ”

Cai Cong came to see Meng Baolai off, and said with some sadness, how happy they were that year, Xu Jie went to open the door and came back without even licking the plate. The women and children of the remnants of the soldiers were just satisfied with a full meal and couldn't speak, even if they were scolded by Lao Jiu for being stupid, they just smirked and didn't get angry.
