Chapter 31: Reactions from all sides

According to the calculation of at least one liter (0.6 kilograms) per person per day, a month round trip, the ration is three buckets, and the ration of 50,000 people is 15,000 stones. In addition, the war horses and the people who carried the grain also needed grain and grass, as well as the consumption of carts, cattle, horses, and livestock, as well as the consumption of non-staple meat vegetables. On the basis of the original, it needs to be at least more than doubled.

Li Chengqian's rough estimate showed that the weight converted into later generations would be at least more than 1,800 tons. If the grain is transported in batches, the consumption will be more, including the consumption of grain transporters and cart animals, at least 1,000 tons each time.

By the time all the military supplies were ready, it was already the third day after the court meeting. In the past few days, Li Chengqian has also run around, accompanied A-Niang and his brothers and sisters in the harem for half a day, spent half a day arranging the courses and training of the training camp, and then dragged Wang Xuance to walk in the industrial park for a total of two days, and it was time to leave.

With tall horses, mighty guards, and brand-new and domineering carriages, in the eyes of everyone, Li Chengqian began the journey of counterinsurgency.

Qin Huaiyu, Du He, and Fang Jun were arranged by Emperor Lao Tzu to accompany him. Among the three, only Du He is dressed as a literati. It is true, he has a flexible mind since he was a child, and he doesn't like to practice martial arts, and later because of face problems, he learned a few styles, and he is also an embroidered pillow, and his martial arts skills are very inferior.

Li Chengqian sat in a newly-made four-wheeled vehicle, which was wide and beautiful and exquisitely worked, and it didn't look like a war, but it felt like a trip in an RV. Why not go horseback riding? The main thing is that the eldest grandson is not allowed to do so. Although he has grown taller, he is too young and prone to accidents. In addition, how comfortable an RV is one foot long and six feet wide.

In fact, Li Chengqian also wanted to try the newly made four-wheeled carriage, why did there not be a four-wheeled carriage in Chinese history (including the modern countryside), even if the ancients were stupid and could not have invented it. There was the Silk Road, East-West trade, and a lot of Western technology could be passed over. Even if you don't know how to learn it, you can learn it, but you need to try it to find out.

……。

Li Wujie sat alone on the comfortable blanket in the car, stretched, opened the curtains, and looked out of the car. In front of us is the city of Fenzhou, and the dream is about to come true.

Don't drive Zhao Cihao in Fengzhou Looking at the mighty army outside the city, looking at the number and military flag of the Tang Tianjie Army, he wondered in his heart, is there going to be a war again? Supposedly there is no war nearby, huh? Even if there is a war, it can only be the nearest Liang Shidu, and no matter how urgent the other places are, it is impossible to mobilize troops from here.

After all, the troops here are mainly guarding the border between the west and Tuyuhun and the Turks. Then again, I have long heard that Liang Shidu is ready to surrender, but I don't know whether to surrender to the Turks or the Tang Dynasty, so Liang Shidu has been hesitating, and there is no movement for the time being, and it stands to reason that according to the current situation, it will eventually be attached to the Tang Dynasty. So it makes no sense for this troop to be so mobilized?

"Go out of the city with my official to greet you." Come to think of it, it is still necessary to receive greetings. Although Zhao Cihao was puzzled, he still ordered his subordinates, after all, the etiquette could not be abolished.

The horses' hooves were blowing, the dust was flying, and the group of officials headed straight out of the city.

Li Yi sat in the military tent, and Lu Chisong, Zheng Tao, Li Gao and others were lined up on the left and right. Zhao Cihao led a group of officials to the tent.

"Don't drive Zhao Cihao to meet the king of Yanjun in Fengzhou, please move the king of Yanjun to the city of Fengzhou."

"Don't drive Zhao, don't be polite, the widow is under the secret edict of His Majesty, leading the troops to the imperial capital, passing by you, I don't want to bother, but the march is in a hurry, and there is still a lack of some supplies, so there is no need for Lao Zhao." Li Yi casually took out the bright yellow silk shaft and said slowly.

"The lower officials have prepared a banquet in the city, and ask the king of Yanjun to deign to appreciate his face." Zhao Cihao glanced at the holy decree and hurriedly replied. It looks like it's really going to be a war, but why haven't I gotten any news?

"Now that the country has just been built, the people's livelihood is withering, and in order to avoid labor and loss of money, there is no need for wine banquets. Please don't drive Zhao to arrange a resting place and go. Li Yi thought for a while, got up and said.

Subsequently, everyone prepared horses and rode in the carriage, and 5,000 forwards followed, and went straight to the government office in the city of Fengzhou. Most of the rest were camped on the spot outside the city, waiting to be opened.

All of a sudden, inside and outside the city, there was chaos and busyness everywhere. Although there is a military order to control, the soldiers were originally born in the Tang Dynasty, and now they are in their own territory, so they are very casual compared to the frontier land.

Yang Qi, the commander of the army, has been in the camp in Fengzhou for the past few days, and the army outside the city has entered the city, and he can't stop beating the drum in his heart, Li Yi has been edicted to enter Beijing? This is the news he has just sent someone to investigate. For such a big thing, no matter which side should inform themselves. But until now, there has been no news from the scouts he sent to Kyoto. The uneasiness in my heart overwhelmed the desire to go into the city to find out the news, so let's wait.

The twilight was skewed, and a fast horse entered the Fengzhou military camp, and a scout entered Yang Qi's account and handed over an urgent paperwork. "General, Your Majesty has issued an edict, Li Yi pretended to be the emperor's secret, raised troops into Beijing, plotted rebellion, sent the general Wei Chi Gong, and Sun Wuji, the chief of the Ministry of Officials, as the head of the march, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince accompanied the battalion to supervise the army to quell the rebellion, and the army will set off soon, and has now issued an official document, ordering all state capitals to work together to assist and exterminate the rebels."

Listening to the scout's report and looking at the paperwork in his hand, Yang Qi was shocked, alas, it would have been good if he had been one step earlier, he could have kept the enemy out of the city, and now that Li Yi had just entered the city, the problem was a little tricky.

"General Qiyu, there is a special envoy of the prison army outside the door asking to see you." While he was thinking about it, the soldiers came in to give a farewell.

"Hurry up, please." Yang Qi hurriedly got up and greeted him.

A plainly dressed and tall man entered the account and immediately handed over the token in his hand, "Meet General Yang, a certain Ji Changyou, who was specially sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to inform and assist the general." "This person is Ji Changyou, one of the twelve guards of the local branch camp, ranking tenth.

Looking at the token, Yang Qi handed it to Ji Changyou and nodded: "I don't know what His Highness's plan for the envoy to arrange for the current situation is?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made arrangements for the rebels, and the rebels have entered the city, and he has instructed that he can contact the person in charge of the city, and the inside and outside should be combined, and so on. If it is difficult to transmit the news and things to be done, they will spread the rhetoric, break the morale of the army, and directly attack it. The commander of the lieutenant Chi will lead the advance of the army to arrive at noon tomorrow at the latest. ”

The two discussed the details for a while, and immediately began to arrange the staff.

When night fell, rumors spread in the Tianjie military camp, some people said that the king of Yanjun was going to fight with Li Shimin for the world. Some say that the king of Yanjun wants to enter Chang'an, follow the change of Xuanwumen, and kill Li Shimin, a usurper thief. Others say that we have become rebels, and we will be exterminated immediately and sent to the wild land of Lingnan. Some people also say that as long as we don't work hard for Li Yi and arrest the thief Li Yi, we will not only be innocent, but also make meritorious contributions.
