Zhangqiu.

Qin Qiong arrived with 3,000 Qi soldiers, and as soon as he entered the city, he rushed to the county government and asked Zhang Xutuo for his guilt.

"If you are late, please be punished."

Zhang Xutuo was playing chess with Father Luo, and a doctor was helping Zhang Xutuo clean his wounds and re-bandage them. There was a wound on his shoulder that was already boneless, but when the doctor cut his rotten flesh with a knife, he could still play chess with Father Luo with a calm expression, and his brows did not wrinkle.

"Uncle Bao, you came just in time, and it was not too late at all. Zhou Dewei of Changbai Mansion has already found out that after Pei Changcai's two thieves in Shizihe were defeated, they fled all the way east, and their subordinates were scattered, and now the two thieves only ran away with more than 100 horsemen to Wang Bo and Wang Yong in Beihai. Now that the two kings have united with Qin Junhong and others, gathered in Bochang, Beihai, and gathered more than 30,000 thieves, the next step will definitely be to enter my Qi County. I decided to kill him by surprise, and instead of waiting for him to come, we went first. ”

Dad also said hello to Qin Qiong, "Uncle Bao, sit." ”

"Uncle is also injured?"

"It's out of the way, it's just a little oily. It's old, I haven't used a knife for a long time, an old bone, and I can't even deal with a few thieves on the battlefield. ”

Zhang Xutuo said with a smile, "Brother Luo is too modest, this time he broke Pei Shi's two thieves, your Luo family has made great contributions, and you are full of heroes." ”

"Your brother has a hammer, that's old and strong, and the thief who killed him fled from the wind."

"Zhang Tong guards your horse lance and rides a bow, then the thief who really killed cries his father and calls his mother."

Qin Qiong sat on the side, watching the two old men praising each other, a little crying and laughing.

"Tongshou, the thieves have not yet entered my Qi County, they are still in Beihai County, we will directly cross the border to attack, is it okay?" Qin Qiong asked.

"What's not to do, your cousin Luo Cheng has crossed the county more than once to suppress thieves before, we must take the initiative and not let them enter Qi County. I can't treat my head and my feet anymore. Now that the counties of Henan are full of thieves, we can't close the door and live our own small life, otherwise, when the thieves in the surrounding counties are strong, they will not let us go. ”

Luo Gui put down a chess piece, "One move higher than the chess guard, the next step, look at three moves." This move is very good. Although Lao Luo is useless, he is also willing to take his son and son-in-law to lead Zhangqiu Xiangyong to accompany him on the expedition. ”

"Oh, if I can get the help of the Luo family, then I am really like a tiger."

"So that's it?" Luo Guidao.

"Well, we'll send troops tomorrow."

Liaodong.

Xuansu City.

After working day and night, Luo Cheng has made a lot of meat floss.

Cattle and sheep are slaughtered, then boiled and stewed, and then pounded by a large grinding pestle, and then dried on the kang. Five catties of fresh meat, about a catty of dried meat floss, these meat floss is rough and the taste is very poor, but after the experiment of the generals and colonels of the Left Fifth Army, it was found that the effect of filling hunger and satiety is indeed very good.

A small handful of meat floss, with a few handfuls of fried rice, put some water in the kettle, hang it on the body or on the saddle, shake and shake, and wait for half an hour, it becomes a pot of meat floss porridge.

Eat a bowl and you won't be hungry for half a day.

Although it was a little unpalatable, they were hungry, and some people only ate this meat floss porridge for several days, and found that people did not become weak at all, and they were still fierce.

"Is fifteen catties of meat floss enough per person?"

"That's enough, each soldier has five catties of beef floss, five catties of mutton floss, and another five catties of pork floss, while the auxiliary soldiers are five catties of mutton floss and ten catties of pork floss. The heavy cavalry and the Mo sword soldiers were given an additional five catties of beef floss. All of them have been made and distributed to all the soldiers according to the general's orders. ”

"Very good, since there are still pigs and sheep, let's hurry up and get another batch out, and let the auxiliaries take it."

Luo Cheng is very satisfied with the processing progress, tens of thousands of people work together, the effect is still good, after sacrificing the taste, the quantity has been guaranteed.

"Horses, mules, donkeys, and camels can be brought as much as they can, and bringing these animals can not only help transport materials and equipment, but also carry people, and at critical times, they can also make military rations. Everyone has to be mentally prepared, this time we are going to go deep behind enemy lines, go to fight thousands of miles, bring more of all this food, don't expect that there will be supplies later, no one can count on it except ourselves. Don't expect to be able to supply on the spot, Goguryeo is a broken place, very poor, once we have been there, we are sure that all places will be strong and clear, and it will be more difficult to supply on the spot than to ascend to the sky, so let's break this idea as soon as possible, and prepare well as soon as possible. ”

"The general has a point." Wei Zheng also said, "Let's do what the general said, bring more meat floss and fried rice, so that we can save a lot of transportation capacity, less food, we can transport more ordnance and weapons, and when we get behind the enemy, not only is it difficult to supply food, but it is even more difficult to supply weapons and equipment." And we also offended that Wei Siqing, so don't think that he will supply us when the time comes, while this Xuansu City is still in our hands, we will take as many weapons and equipment in the city as we can. ”

Under Luo Cheng's line of thinking, the Left Fifth Army is now armed to the teeth.

Originally, the government soldiers prepared six pack horses for every ten people, but Luo Cheng here, now each soldier has a mount and a pack horse, and then the auxiliary soldiers directly do not need carriages, and all are equipped with camels, horses, mules, donkeys, and a large number of equipment.

Each soldier had three hundred bows and arrows, enough to fight a dozen battles.

Originally, after capturing Xuansu City, there was a large amount of materials and grain in the warehouse, but now Luo Cheng is so busy that it is almost empty.

And just like that, the time came to the beginning of April.

The armies of all walks of life gathered in Huaiyuan, and the six armies on the left and the six on the right, which were originally stationed on the first line of the Liaohe River, also crossed the Liaohe River from the north road and entered Liaodong.

Li Jing, general of the Sixth Army on the left, and Luo Yi, general of the Sixth Army on the right.

The two military generals, one is Luo Cheng's teacher, and the other is Luo Cheng's uncle. Not long ago, Zhang Xutuo replied to Luo Cheng, saying that he agreed to learn the art of war by worshiping Li Jing as his teacher, and Luo Cheng worshipping Li Jing as his teacher did not mean that he would break away from the teacher-student relationship, so Zhang Xutuo did not object, and also told him a lot of Li Jing's awesomeness, and asked him to study hard.

The two armies crossed the Liao River into Liao.

After entering Liao, Li Jing was stationed in Cangyan City, and Luo Yi was stationed in Nansu City.

With the two crossings of the river, there were also many people from the imperial court, including Li Yuan, the secretary of the temple.

Li Yuan came in person, came over to be responsible for replenishing the ordnance, grain and grass for Luo Cheng's Left Fifth Army, and then had another purpose, that is, to come and receive all the captured materials, money, food, population, and prisoners of war from the three cities and seven forts.

Before coming, Li Yuan had already inquired carefully, there were a large number of materials and equipment in Xuansu City, and there were more than 300,000 feather arrows alone, and tens of thousands of sets of armor of all kinds. And for grain, there are hundreds of thousands of stones, not to mention tens of thousands of people and hundreds of thousands of livestock.

Li Yuan entered the city, accompanied by Li Jing and Luo Yi, and there was also the new Ai Surrender Envoy of the Left Fifth Army Yu Wenshi and behind.
