Another embarrassing problem is the problem of food, tens of thousands of people are far away from the Wa country, and they can't carry so much food, so they can only find some on the spot in the Wa country.

However, how could there be so much food in such a shabby place? Even if it is very different from the Tang Dynasty, in terms of eating habits, the expeditionary force once again fell into an embarrassing situation.

These countries full of dwarfs love the sea so much, and most of the things that can be collected are fish and algae, and the food with a strong smell of fish makes people lose their appetite at all.

If this continues, it is estimated that it will not be long before these tens of thousands of expeditionary forces will be able to run away from starvation without the Japanese counterattack.

"Songtsen, do you still insist on your opinion?" After the three of them were embarrassed and silent for a long time, Li You finally spoke, looked at Songtsen Gampo and asked, "If we don't act again, it is estimated that we don't have to wait for those Japanese people to come, and we will starve to death first!" ”

Songtsen Gampo was still silent, and before the expedition, they had made a lot of predictions and thought about various difficulties, but they had not thought about the problem of eating.

Now the problem arises, there is only one way in front of them, and that is to rob it!

But is it really good to rob it? Will those Japanese people have a strong sense of resistance because of this?

Originally, most of the Japanese people had a strong yearning for the Tang Dynasty, and most of them hid back at home after the war began. But if they really rob up their few foods, those Japanese who can't survive will inevitably join the side of the Japanese royal family, and then the expeditionary force will be equal to countless more enemies, how should the gains and losses be judged?

"Strategist, I don't think you should think about it, I have been to many places in the past few years, and I know very well the thoughts and thoughts of these aliens. He will not follow us all the time because we pity them, even if they have an infinite yearning for Datang in their hearts, but we must be invaders, you never expect them to really surrender to us. ”

Li Zhen, as a person who came over, expressed his views when neither Li You nor Songtsen Gampo could convince each other, and at the same time pointed out the mistakes in Songtsen Gampo's thinking.

"Is it really only a sword to fight? Do you have to kill them all? Songtsen Gampo asked rhetorically.

"Then it depends on whether they know each other or not, we can find some agents among them, and then use them to collect herbs, but don't worry, there will always be some people who are afraid of death who will come to us and do things for us." Li Zhen said.

"Then let's do it, and in a while I will arrange for people to go down and collect grass in the surrounding villages." Li You silently listened to Li Zhen's explanation and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Well, I have reservations about this, but it seems that we should be kind to the Japanese people, at least so that they don't go all out against us." Songtsen Gampo once again emphasized his point.

However, Songtsan also knew that his views were not a problem in the eyes of Li You and Li Zhen.

The arrogant Tang people don't care about the thoughts of other races at all, those Japanese people are no different from fish and meat in the eyes of the two of them, if it weren't for the same body structure, it is estimated that these two guys would be able to catch those Japanese people as food.

……

These expeditionary forces that came to the Wa Kingdom from the Western Tang Dynasty were all composed of thugs from those wealthy families, not to mention the level of combat effectiveness, but it was not ambiguous when it came to grabbing grain.

Therefore, after Li You gave the order, those guys who had nothing to do in the camp immediately responded to the call, and rushed out of the camp one by one, rushing to the nearby villages and towns like a performance.

More than a thousand years later, everything that happened on the land of China was staged on the land of the Japanese state, and the wolf-like soldiers rushed into the villages and towns, regardless of the 3721, and expelled all the Japanese people together to be guarded and detained.

However, unlike those beasts of later generations, these wolf-like expeditionary soldiers did not have any thoughts about the women of the Japanese country, and the seventeen laws and five four beheadings were like the sword of Damoris hanging over their heads, reminding them all the time that this was a crime that would lose their heads.

Of course, part of the reason is that those Japanese women are too ......, how to say it, only as tall as a normal person's chest, coupled with a thin and dirty dress, all this is really difficult to remember the soldiers of the expeditionary force to be interested.

A large number of Japanese people who were gathered together were already stupid, and they didn't think that the Tang army, which had not committed any offence against them for several days, would suddenly attack them.

However, they still didn't want to hand over the grain according to the requirements of those Tang troops, after all, the Wa country was only an island country, and the island was not rich in grain, not to mention that it was already the beginning of summer at this time, and it was the time when the old grain was exhausted and the new grain was not out, how could they take out the little grain left at home.

If you really take it out, won't the whole family starve to death when they go back!

With such thoughts, those Japanese people faced the fierce and vicious Tang soldiers around them with silence, fantasizing that the law would not be held accountable, as long as everyone did not say anything, then there would be no problem.

But is it really that simple?

The answer, of course, is no.

Just when they thought they could get through the pass, those Tang soldiers who came from afar began to pick people from among them, dragged some well-dressed people out of the crowd, put steel knives on their necks, and only asked two words: "Food!" ”

To give or not to give?

If you don't give the next step, you will lose your head.

Those well-dressed guys were stunned at that time, crying and shouting to explain the location of the food in their homes, and also swore that they would not delay the supply of food and grass for the army in the future.

Obviously, those pimples from the family used the right methods and were very able to grasp the weaknesses of those widows.

Dressed well, this shows that those people must have good family conditions.

And such people often have some power in the village or town, and they often value their lives.

In this way, a group of soldiers and ruffians easily begged for the food and grass they needed and completed the task.

However, they also did not forget to warn the rich farmers who had paid the grain and grass not to try to escape, and this year's grain should be handed over to the expeditionary force after it was harvested, otherwise it would ...... Decollation!

There is nothing more terrifying in this world than killing heads, so those rich families immediately gathered those villagers together again after Tang Jun left, and began to assign tasks to each household.

As the so-called wool comes out of the sheep, those rich people were extorted by the Tang Army, and the losses in the question naturally had to be made up from the outside of the question.

Therefore, before those bitter and forced people had time to celebrate the departure of Tang Jun, they were knocked down from heaven by those rich people with a word, and they looked at the direction of Tang Jun's departure without tears, not knowing what expression to make.

……

And just when those wolf-like soldiers and ruffians went out to raise food, a small sea ship sailed into the port at the dock where Song Hei was stationed, and a bald young man with a face darker than Song Hei stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the nervous soldiers on the shore from a distance, and his mouth was slightly raised.
