Chapter 213: Layout after sending the army away

Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are thousands of miles away, the sheep intestine path is light into a line, and the red horse Xiongshan is secretly dyed with a bridge. I don't see the wind of the galaxy is not warm, and the leaves of the moon should wither. Before leaving, the boat of the Jinchuan tributary is waiting to be rocked.

It was a dark night, with no stars and no moon, and the cloudy day after the rain stopped seemed colder than when it rained.

Guo Tu led the team to light the torch and walked down the path that was easy to slide into the deep stream next to him at any time, and he already knew that he wanted to grow wings and fly over this distance after delaying time.

The only thing that satisfies him these days is the logistics battalion, always waiting in front to arrange the things that should be arranged, if you want to rest at night, there is a special place, and when it comes to eating, there are also hot dishes and hot meals, if you don't know that there is a task in you, he thinks that he is traveling in Yaozhou Yaowang Mountain.

It gave him the feeling that this was not a march, it was too comfortable, and even before taking this road, some people had prepared ropes and connected them one by one so as not to fall down the mountain stream.

But the speed of this march is still slow, and if it goes on like this, let alone ten days to reach Jinchuan, even the border may not be visible.

At another time, maybe you can find a reason to put the blame on the logistics battalion, saying that the supply of grain and grass is not timely, but in the face of the Yizhou logistics battalion, even the generals who are bastards do not dare to do this. It would be better to withdraw the troops and let the logistics battalion go to war.

"If only the logistics battalion could let me wait for wings to grow on my body." Thinking of the magical logistics battalion, Guo Tu couldn't help but muttered to himself.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also led the team to follow the soldiers in front of them for half a day's journey, the march was very easy, and the team expanded a little, and the guards sent by Old Man Bi and Old Man Yao to find the two of them were persuaded by them to stay, ready to complete a logistics task together.

"It is estimated that Guo Tu's team will be able to walk for another hour to reach a suitable place for boarding, this is the last send-off in the territory, I hope they can successfully complete the task, try to make more people come back alive, and the people who transported grain and cooked along the way can give money to let them go home."

Zhang Xiaobao looked through the binoculars at the long line of torches on the winding road ahead, and blessed it.

Wang Juan also knows that people must die to fight a war, whether it is active or passive, there is no zero casualty, many soldiers in the front team have not yet married wives and children, this time, who knows how many people can come back alive, and how many people are buried in other places.

She also carried a stick in her hand to prevent her from accidentally falling, looked at the inky night sky, and said: "The grain should have been transported to the border, and the follow-up grain is also being raised, and when we arrive, they should have entered the territory of Tubo, and the follow-up transportation will be difficult, so we can only wait for Guo Tu to send a message back to know where to send the grain."

What's it called? The battle plan will not be revealed in advance, and I will not know what his intentions are until now until the border is crossed. ”

"I guess it's not that he doesn't want to say it in advance, but he himself hasn't figured out how to fight this battle, maybe it will change at any time, and he will say the plan now, so what if it doesn't work then? That's a trick, let's follow, the logistics are difficult to do. ”

Zhang Xiaobao took a bite of the compressed biscuit, chewed it in his mouth, and said in a slurred voice.

It is said that it is an hour, that is, an hour, an hour later, the vanguard in front of the troops led by Guo Tu saw a road that could circle diagonally downward, if you don't take this downward road, go directly, then you have to continue to advance on the path.

But there was a sign erected in this place, and by the light of the torches, there was an arrow on it, and a row of small letters below.

Walk down, take a boat, all the way across the border.

The news quickly spread to Guo Tu, and he stepped forward with the army, looked at the sign, and looked at the way down, and when he hesitated, the river below lit up with patches of light, and in the light, countless boats stopped on the water, undulating with the waves.

Such a scene frightened Guo Tu, fortunately he didn't go out of the border, otherwise he really thought that Tubo wanted to sneak attack him, of course, that is, he suddenly had such an idea, he didn't think that someone in Tubo would be stupid enough to sneak attack from below, and if he wanted to sneak attack, he would ambush on the mountain, throw stones, and the people below would be finished.

"General, look at that flag, it's from the logistics battalion, is it by boat?" Joining the army asked in a whisper, admiring the logistics battalion even more in his heart, even the transport ship was ready, and he did not take care of the logistics battalion along the way, it seems that Zhang Zhong really deserves his reputation.

Guo Tu still has a choice? If you don't take a boat and continue to walk the mountain road, it will be really delayed, but now it seems that if you take a boat and go down the river, you can even shorten the time to reach the land of Jinchuan in Tubo by one or two days.

He did not hesitate at the moment, and ordered: "All sergeants watch their feet and get on board." ”

With the order, the striker began to walk down, this time only to find that there was no danger, there was a railing on the side of the road down, even if you accidentally slipped, you would hit the railing first, and there was a special position on the railing to insert a torch, and insert it up, free your hands and not afraid of falling suddenly.

Guo Tu took a closer look at the railing and said: "The newly repaired one seems to have been prepared for Zhang Zhong too shortly, otherwise he is likely to repair the railing on both sides of the road he walked in front of him, but I don't know if they can transport the grain and grass in time after crossing the border." ”

"General, they don't even know how we are going now, and how do they know where to transport the grain and grass? What's more, this time the imperial court only asked them to raise grain, and as soon as they crossed the border, our army would have to receive grain and grass, so could it be that they would continue to send it? ”

Joining the army doesn't think that Zhang Zhong will do more, now he is doing well, as long as there is no shortage of food and grass when crossing the border, then Zhang Zhong's task will be completed.

Of course, this depends on how the imperial court arranges, if Zhang Zhong continues to take the opportunity to support, the logistics battalion will have to wait on the border, at least more grain and grass will be transported to the border city, so as to provide sufficient supplies when the front army needs to fight.

Guo Tu also knew that he was thinking too much, how could the logistics battalion follow to the front, even if he followed, it would not go too far, Zhang Zhong was a civil official, and there was no army, needless to say, he knew the consequences of going deep into Tibet.

It's nothing more than that the logistics battalion is doing so well that people are reluctant to leave, but unfortunately, when they leave the border, it is not the world of the logistics battalion.

Raise your hand *** *** The face that was a little uncomfortable by the night cold also followed the team down, and whenever I walked to a place that I thought was dangerous, I would find that not only the railing next to it was higher, but even the steps were built under my feet.

In this way, 15,000 people were divided into hundreds of boats of various sizes and sailed down the river, and by the time Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan arrived here, they could no longer see the shadow of the fleet in front of them.

"Now there is no need to continue to arrange the things in front, and there is no way to arrange them, now it's okay, don't worry about it, I haven't seen what the border passes here are like, so let's go over and see it."

Wang Juan stood at the makeshift dock by the river, waiting for the arrival of the boats prepared for them.

Zhang Xiaobao's mind was not on the battlefield at this time, and he pondered how to get back the loss.

"This time, we directly paid 120,000 yuan, Li Longji's guy is in the dark, it is impossible to expect him to pay back the money, I wonder if I can let him carve out a pasture for us, raise more good horses on it, and transport it to various places when the time comes, and find rich people to participate in betting on horses, a very interesting activity."

"This is a good idea, even if it is far away, the conditions are more difficult, in Fengzhou, that is, Inner Mongolia to circle out a piece of land, there are grasslands, deserts, you can raise more cattle, the climate is not good, plant some jujube trees or grapes and other cash crops, things are expensive to transport back."

Wang Juan has no way to do this, not to mention that Li Longji can still exchange benefits with his family, even if he doesn't make any exchange, giving himself and Zhang Xiaobao a chance to avenge the people of Wangjiang, he has to pay for revenge alone.

But now it's different, it was Li Longji who mentioned it first, and if he can't afford to pay back the money, he will exchange the land, I believe that Li Longji will agree very happily, it is not a good place to go now, the desert area is windy and sandy, the weather changes frequently on the grassland, and there are many wolves in the wild.

The population is less pitiful, they are all nomads, ordinary people, you just give money to others, people don't go, you want a piece of land there, Li Longji is still crazy with joy?

Thinking of this, Wang Juan said to Zhang Xiaobao: "No need to send someone back to talk to Grandpa Bi and them now, and get the land in your hands before you can rest assured." ”

"Don't say it, you can't say it, if you say it now, just rely on the few monkey spirits and monkey spirits in the court, plus Li Longji, the emperor who is not stupid, they will definitely have a lot of difficulties to tell us, and they will tell us how good Fengzhou is, let us take out new things to exchange, and the land given in the end will not be big."

Isn't there an account for the money spent this time, and when it's over, I'll send the account book to Grandpa Bi, he naturally knows what to do, according to my analysis, the biggest possibility is that they came to ask us what we want, the money is counted on, and it will be easy to do when the time comes. ”

Zhang Xiaobao doesn't want to be so active, at this time it is not as simple as confronting local officials, none of the names in the court are fuel-efficient lamps, it is not just an economic problem, which involves *** exchange.

The so-called exchange is carried out in the process after both parties think that they have taken advantage and make compromises, and the simplest explanation is to achieve their own intentions, and they also want to get cheap and sell well.

If the bear understands ***, then he will want to eat honey in the monkey's territory but let the monkey bring it up himself, and aggrievedly said that there are too many bees and need to be compensated, and the moment of eating sweet honey, the monkey feels that it has taken advantage.

Wang Juan nodded to show that he understood, and his doubts were even more prevalent, "Then what do you want to say?" ”

"Let's just say that I want all the rights to operate the tea horse ceremony." Zhang Xiaobao replied.

"No way, unless you are a fool in the court." Wang Juan didn't count on this at all.

Zhang Xiaobao looked upstream and said: "I also know that it is impossible, in psychology, this is called inching in inches, and it is sometimes better to use than inching in, and it can also be said to be a sky-high asking price, just wait for them to sit on the ground and pay back."

As long as they refuse, we will propose to have a good place, the area should be large, if it is a poor place, the area must be larger, if it is too difficult a place, but it needs to be exempted from taxes and rent for ten years, where do you say that Li Longji will arrange the place? ”

"Arrange to go to Inner Mongolia, or the Northeast, Lingnan will never let us go, so how can you guarantee to get grassland?"

Wang Juan thought about it clearly, even if it was her, she would arrange it like this, isn't your Zhang family amazing? Then see how powerful it can be, if you want the land, give, no one wants to go to the bad place, give it to you, let your family be embarrassed to go.

Zhang Xiaobao also thinks so, in fact, it doesn't mean Li Longji, many people want to see the Zhang family's jokes in business, the common problem of human nature, not how the Zhang family has to be, but there is a subconscious consideration of pressing the Zhang family, otherwise wouldn't the Zhang family become a myth? Can't help you?

Listening to Wang Juan's question, Zhang Xiaobao said: "When it is almost time, I will give others a directive, such as vigorously developing hot pot, and saying that this method is very good in the Northeast, and at the same time use glass to make greenhouses, increase the output of off-season vegetables, buy a large number of furs, and our garment workshop makes beautiful winter warm clothes."

I built a ship at the mouth of the Yellow River, and went to Liaodong Bay with great fanfare to hire local fishermen to learn about the marine environment there, and I had to send someone to open a new Shuiyunjian restaurant there, what do you think I want to do? ”

"What else can I do? Of course, I'm going to wait for the development of the land over there, you're too bad Xiaobao, I know you deliberately do this, let people watch, and then don't row the land there, the rest is Inner Mongolia, do you call the east and the west or hide from the world? ”

Wang Juan knows Zhang Xiaobao's character, since he wants to carve out a piece of land in Inner Mongolia, he will definitely add details, step by step to lead others to get the land there, although sometimes it will fail, but it also depends on whether Zhang Xiaobao insists, he insists, and will find a way to achieve the goal.

Zhang Xiaobao was actually thinking about this thing all the way, in the era of power, unless he was ready to be the emperor and overthrow the original regime, it would be impossible to face it toughly, but the emperor is not so easy to be, especially a person like himself, he will definitely do everything well after becoming the emperor, and he will be tired to death.

The most important thing is that it is very difficult to overthrow the current regime, even if it takes more than ten years to prepare, first of all, you have to go to a remote place to learn history, otherwise you will not be able to get soldiers, and you have to learn from An Lushan.

Then it is to launch a coup d'état, the consequences of which will be more serious than the Anshi Rebellion, weaken the strength of the Tang Dynasty, and give the surrounding countries a chance to see whether they will do a good job in internal affairs first, or other countries will fight first, even if they win in the end, they will be older, maybe forty years old, maybe fifty years old, they have not enjoyed anything, if you want to say enjoyment, it is the excitement of the war.

But now there is no history of festivals, so let's play games with you and enjoy life, sometimes it is more comfortable to influence an era in the dark than to stand in front of the stage yourself.

"What do you think? Get on the boat, the ship is coming. Wang Juan waited and waited, until the boat came, Zhang Xiaobao still looked pensive, touched him, and stood forward again.

"I didn't think about anything, I sent a letter back immediately, some things must be laid out in advance, write a letter to Grandpa Bi, ask him to help find people who are not afraid of the cold in the process of alpine skiing, and at the same time help train the ability to resist the cold after joining my house.

At the same time, let the people in charge of business in my family buy aged black tea, let the cloth people in the capital cooperate to send silk here, let Grandpa Yao take the lead in contacting the magistrates close to the tea horse road, and hire a team that often walks the tea horse road at a high price. ”

Zhang Xiaobao came back to his senses, did what he said, hurriedly got on the boat, and began to write letters.
