Maybe it was because he saw Xiao Mo sitting alone in the courtyard frowning and contemplative, Old Man Han couldn't help but sit next to Xiao Mo.

Reaching out and patting Xiao Mo's shoulder, Old Man Han said in a rare warm voice: "Now that you don't have to think much about the military expenses, since it has been completed, what are you doing sitting in this courtyard?" Let's go and rest first, it's really hard for you to do this thing. It's not too late to think about the rest of the story. ”

Xiao Mo listened to Old Man Han's words, nodded slightly, and said, "I'll go to rest after a while, and while I still have some time, I'm thinking about how to get to Lintao, which is located in the northwest." ”

Old man Han heard Xiao Mo's words, thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Today, the entire Northern Front of the Great Sui is full of flesh and blood mills, although I have always hoped that you kid can make contributions and break out of his own world, but everything has to be done according to his ability."

The counties of Longxi and Lintao are now in dire straits.

The Turkic barbarians went north to south, and Tuyuhun took the opportunity to advance from west to east, and the two countries even conspired to join forces in Lintao. Tuyuhun invaded Lintao after the Turks, making the land of Lintao the most tragic place in the northern part of the Great Sui.

In the land of the northwest states, although there are good generals such as He Louzigan, who have also broken Tuyuhun many times, but now the Turks and Tuyuhun have joined forces, and He Louzigan also had to retreat to Longxi and build a bloody defense line.

You kid have to think about it, if you go to Lintao, I'm not very worried about the old man in Jing'er, but if your kid is in danger, it will be a situation of nine deaths. In that situation, even the six guards of the Son of Heaven may not be able to rescue you in time, let alone ordinary soldiers.

Now it's still too late for your kid to change his mind, if you go to Youzhou, with the care of your second uncle Xuanqing, there is no problem for your kid to return safely. Official positions and military merits are not in a hurry overnight. Men have ambitions in all directions, but they also need to act on opportunities.

Honestly, what do you kid think today? ”

Xiao Mo heard this, thought about it, and said: "I also know the war in the northwest, on the surface, it sounds good, it is He Louzi who retreated to Longxi, but now under the attack of the Turks and Tuyuhun, I am afraid that the land of Longxi has long been lost."

It is indeed much safer to go to Youzhou, after all, there is the care of Second Uncle Han there, but this is diametrically opposed to my original intention.

Now, as far as I'm concerned, only when I go to the most dangerous places will I have a better chance of gaining success. It was a choice I had to make."

Old man Han couldn't help but sigh when he heard Xiao Mo's resolute words: "It's a good thing to make meritorious contributions, but in the final analysis, your kid is just for two women, two little women, is it worth doing this?" ”

When Xiao Mo heard this, he shook his heart and said, "Not for two women!" It's for the heart! If this is not done, why is it unexpected in the world? ”

When Old Man Han heard Xiao Mo's words, he also fell silent, and for a while, the two of them were quiet, and neither of them spoke again.

After a long while, Xiao Mo spoke: "Although Lintao has to go, but how to go really makes me embarrassed, you always know more about Da Sui than I do, do you know any shortcuts?" ”

4 Old man Han listened to Xiao Mo's inquiry, and couldn't help frowning: "Nowadays, normal methods will not work, if you go around the north, you will be in danger of encountering the Turkic army, if you go directly to the west, it is high mountains and long roads, and it is extremely time-consuming.

However, if you really want to choose, old man, I still suggest that you go west directly in the territory of the Great Sui, although it takes time, but it is also safe. ”

When Xiao Mo heard this, he frowned and said: "If you go west directly, through Shuzhong, I'm afraid that it will take three months to reach Longxi, let alone Lintao." In this way, if there is no time for half a year, I am afraid that I will not be able to come back.

If that's the case, I'd rather choose to take a detour to the north. ”

Old man Han listened to Xiao Mo's answer, pointed his finger at the stone table and said, "It is not advisable to go around the north, the appearance of the people of the Central Plains is very different from that barbarian, if you go around the north, it will be very risky." But going straight west is as you say, and it takes a long time. In this way, it is indeed a bit difficult. ”

Xiao Mo also had to admit that this was an extremely contradictory question. Lintao must go, but the two routes that can be chosen are not ideal for Xiao Mo. One is relatively safe, but extremely time-consuming, and the other is extremely time-consuming, but it can die on the road at any time.

Old man Han also took a long time before he slowly spoke again: "For you kid, saving time is the most important point. I thought about it, old man, and I felt that there was only one way to do it! ”

Xiao Mo heard that Old Man Han had come up with a way at this time, and couldn't help but be slightly excited: "Oh? How? It is difficult to choose to go north without encountering Turkic aliens. ”

Old man Han said slowly: "Old man, my original idea was to let your kid go directly to the army, and I didn't want you kid to start as a small soldier. Looking at such an approach nowadays, it is categorically unworkable.

Your kid is a special person now, and even the old man was shocked by these things that he has done, although these things have not yet reached the border. But if your kid is captured, it will be difficult to say if you look closely. Old man, I don't want you kid to die in vain, and I don't want to be cheap and interracial cheap.

Thinking about it, the old man thinks that the only way to escort grain and grass is feasible! ”

Xiao Mo has been listening very carefully, but when he heard about the escort of grain and grass, he couldn't help frowning slightly: "Escort grain and grass? As the saying goes, before the three armies are moving, the grain and grass go first, and this escort of grain and grass is probably marching at the forefront of the army. Moreover, grain and grass have always been the focus of the march, and it is also the focus of the enemy's concern. I'm afraid this thing is extremely embarrassing to do, and it is the responsibility to deliver it safely, and if something happens, it will be a loss of head. ”

Old man Han heard Xiao Mo's words, but he shook his head and said, "You kid is wrong about this, now is not the beginning of the war with the Turks. In the northern land, the deployment has already been completed, and most of the grain and grass escorted at this time are for subsequent supplies.

That's why it's so important. Therefore, heavy escorts will be sent to various places along the way. The characteristics of grain and grass also determine that they must not be delivered in the shortest possible time. ”

When Xiao Mo heard this, he naturally understood what Old Man Han meant. For Xiao Mo himself, this escort of grain and grass is indeed the safest and fastest way to get to Lintao. However, this escort of grain and grass is some logistical work, usually the escort is completed, which also means that the work is over and you need to return. In this way, it is a little contrary to Xiao Mo's idea.

Thinking of this, Xiao Mo couldn't help but ask: "This escort of grain and grass is indeed safe and fast, but the work of this escort will probably end when it arrives in Lintao, and how to stay in Lintao at that time is also a problem." (To be continued.) )
