Chapter 221: Alone

"What sour bag to drop? What kind of armor do you wear as a Purple Gold Guanglu Doctor? Yu Chigong happened to be standing not far from Cai Cong, glanced at Cai Cong, and said with disdain.

"Hey, I don't like to hear this, in addition to being a doctor of Zijin Guanglu, Ben Hou is also in charge of more than 10,000 elites under his hands, I don't want to say how many people you want to leave from me to become instructors." Cai Cong was immediately unconvinced, Lao Tzu was in charge of more than 10,000 elite soldiers, what was wrong with wearing armor?

"Now the old man throws a dog into the new army barracks to be the chief officer, except that he can't speak human language, there is not much difference between putting you in that position." Wei Chi Gong said disdainfully, how many times he went to the New Army, he didn't see Cai Cong once, he was completely a shopkeeper, there was not much difference between there and not.

It was originally a very serious atmosphere, but when the two of them were so disturbed, it instantly became a lot lighter, and everyone smiled playfully, who didn't know that the new army couldn't see the commander several times a year, except for the assessment, that is, the people who performed the task could see it, and it was a miracle that they could win the support of the new army in this way.

"Cai Cong! Today, you are not like Xuan Ling and them, holding the booklet of grain and grass in your hand, what do you want to do wearing like this? Li Shimin was in a good mood and actually teased Cai Cong.

"Back to Your Majesty, this professional matter should be handed over to professional people to do, and the matter of grain and grass should naturally be handed over to Lord Fang and the adults of the household department to do. Fighting! It should be left to the veterans who have been through a lot of battles. If you can't do anything, doing these things will only help you. Wan Xingchen is not useless, the army is going to conquer the grassland, the cold wind and snow will cause huge casualties to the soldiers, the minister is exhausted, the knowledge of the cold and the treatment of cold injuries and diseases, the recipe is written in this booklet, hoping to help the army expedition. ”

Cai Cong took out a pamphlet and said triumphantly, although we don't go out with the army, what we can do is quite important.

It's just that as soon as he took out the booklet, someone grabbed it, Cheng Yanjin turned a page, turned another page, closed the booklet suddenly, and stepped on Cai Cong angrily, Cai Cong slid out a few meters away, fortunately there was a piece of steel armor, otherwise he didn't know how many ribs to break.

"Are you crazy?"

Cai Cong covered his aching chest, looked at Cheng Biting Jin angrily, and took out the booklet with kindness, but actually beat him.

"It's right to beat you, a learned master, can you use this ability to save people as a capital to show off? Why didn't such a good thing come out early? Do you know how many soldiers in Longyou are frozen to death every year, and how many soldiers get frostbite, and we can only watch them die in pain in the end, you know? ”

Cheng Biting Jin's heart is dripping blood, if he doesn't know that there is this post in the world, it's just that, but there is a treatment method, and he is hidden and covered and not taken out, he just read two pages, and he saw two common frostbite diseases in Longyou, hundreds of soldiers die from this disease every year, so he can't help but kick Cai Cong.

Cai Cong didn't say a word, he only thought that there would be wind and snow on the grassland, but he ignored that the borders of Datang were so cold and snowy, freezing to death, and frostbite, which was not surprising.

"It was my negligence, it was my fault. The ministers were arrogant and mistook the lives of so many soldiers, and the ministers asked for punishment. Cai Cong knelt on the ground in annoyance and pleaded guilty to Li Shimin, after Li Shimin read the booklet, he also looked at Cai Cong with some annoyance, thinking about how to teach him a lesson. If this booklet had been taken out earlier, how many fewer people would the army have died in a year?

Li Gang stood up and said righteously: "The minister has only heard of punishing evil, but he has never seen punishing good. A wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and the Marquis of Chang'an devoted himself to dealing with the affairs of the conquest of the Turks, and it is natural that he was negligent. If he is punished for this, who will dare to do good in the future? Are you not afraid that it is too late to do good? ”

"It's because I didn't think about it, and I almost broke my morality, thank you Master Li for your advice." Li Shimin said gratefully, he almost made the same mistake as Zigong ransom Lu people.

"Biting gold, you attach the most importance to this matter, you will send someone to buy the medicinal materials for the treatment of cold injuries and frostbite, and you must prepare the medicinal materials before the winter comes." Li Shimin glanced at Cai Cong, and said to Cheng Yanjin leisurely, don't think it's a trivial matter, this is a big thing, typhoid fever can be cured, and the combat effectiveness of the army can be improved by a few points, so that the battle against the Turks will have a better chance of winning.

"Your Majesty, when the minister came up with these methods, he had already started preparing medicine."

"Chang'an Hou, don't think that you are the only one in the world who can do things, this medicine General Ben will naturally go back to prepare, and you don't need to worry about it." Cheng Yanjin said angrily, he was still resentful that Cai Cong didn't come up with a way to treat him in advance, how could he be willing to accept his help?

"In that case, Ben Hou didn't say it." Cai Cong is not the kind of person who likes hot faces and cold butts, so Cheng Yanjin will let him collect it himself if he has the ability. What should be the number of medicinal herbs used by hundreds of thousands of troops in a winter? Did he think he could collect them all in a short period of time by himself?

"Speaking of the new army, it's time for them to see the cruelty of war. It was decreed that the new army was temporarily under the command of Li Jing, and that it would go out with the army to conquer the Turks, and Li Jing would dispatch what to do. ”

Li Shimin said domineeringly, it stands to reason that this kind of thing should be discussed with Cai Cong, the commander of the new army, but Li Shimin caught Cai Cong off guard and directly seized his military power.

"The army went on the expedition, but the commander did not accompany him, and I know that this is unfair to you. But your Cai family is the only one seedling, if you have any accidents, I will not be able to see you die in battle under Jiuquan in the future, and all the meritorious work of the new army this time will be credited to you. ”

Hitting a sweet jujube is the emperor's family's favorite power technique, and Li Shimin fully embodies what it means to be a lonely person at this time. Cai Cong's new army was sent out, and Chang'an was left with only a few guards in charge of Li Shimin, as long as it was not a big enemy approaching Chang'an, he dared to say that Chang'an was foolproof.

"Thousands of miles do not hesitate to die, looking for a marquis. The minister is now a marquis of the country, and staying in Chang'an is His Majesty's love, and the group of people under his hands should also earn a military merit and be a wife and son. Your Majesty's beloved ministers are grateful, how can there be complaints? ”

Cai Cong hurriedly said sincerely, but his heart was as cold as ice water, Li Shimin didn't believe in himself, he was afraid that Chang'an would not have enough troops, and he would make trouble.

As for why I'm afraid that Cai Cong is in danger, it's a joke, what Cai Cong has done in the past few years, is there less danger? I don't know how many times I've escaped death.

"If you can understand my good intentions, I will be relieved. The speed of grain transportation of the Cai family caravan of the great merchant Cai Gang is rarely matched in the world, this time I don't want to levy more people, and the matter of transporting grain is handed over to the Cai family caravan to be responsible, what do you think? ”

"This is the supreme glory of the Cai family, and my uncle will surely readily agree and be grateful to Your Majesty." Cai Cong said with certainty, Li Lao Er was not asking for his opinion, but informing him.

"In this way, the Cai family's caravan has suffered huge losses, so don't you need to go back and discuss it with Cai Gang?" Li Shimin still asked, I am afraid that this will be a huge loss, Cai Cong actually doesn't want to think about it, does he really regard money as dung?
