In a workshop in Shuozhou City, hundreds of cauldrons are lined up in a neat square line, and there is a strong man holding a shovel-like shovel in front of each cauldron, quickly turning the flour in the pot in the pot, and when the flour is fried until it is browned, it is put out and put aside to cool, and then there is a special person to put the fried noodles into the bamboo tube that is made to facilitate carrying.

"Don Ma, I let people calculate, the cost of using a cloth bag to hold fried noodles is too high, you must use a fine cloth, in contrast, the cost of using a bamboo tube is much lower, and the cost of just using flour is also too high, so my subordinates added soybean flour, sweet potato powder, etc., and after mixing, it tasted better than before, and the soldiers on the front line also preferred the current fried noodles!" Xu Jingzong introduced the fried noodle workshop to Li Xiu as he walked.

Since the fried noodles were sent to the front line, they were quickly welcomed by the soldiers, mainly because the taste of the fried noodles is much stronger than the bread, and it is also easier to digest, although these two dry foods will get hot if you eat too much, but the fried noodles are easier to digest, unlike the noodles that eat too much stomach and feel uncomfortable, and when you add pickles or salted meat to the fried noodles, it will become more delicious.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that the demand for fried noodles on the front line has increased greatly, and Li Xiu asked Xu Jingzong to build such a fried noodles workshop, specializing in making fried noodles, and Xu Jingzong also made some improvements to fried noodles, which reduced the cost of fried noodles a lot, which is also more conducive to the promotion of fried noodles.

"It's okay to use other mixed noodles, but the proportion of flour must not be less than sixty percent, otherwise I'll ask you!" Li Xiu nodded after hearing this, but finally warned Xu Jingzong that it was a good thing to reduce costs, but it could not be without restrictions, for example, if the sweet potato flour was used too much, the fried noodles would not be hungry, making the soldiers unable to replenish their physical strength, which was not a small problem.

"Don't worry, the lower officials have sent a special person to supervise the ratio of various flours, and there will be no problems!" Xu Jingzong also replied respectfully at this time, although he is usually slippery, he does not dare to be sloppy in this kind of big thing, after all, if there is an omission, no one will be able to save him at that time.

Li Xiu took a turn in the fried noodle workshop, and did not find any problems, then nodded with satisfaction, and then went to inspect some other warehouses, now the front-line army has entered the grassland, Shuozhou has become the logistics base of the three-way army, so the task is also very heavy, Li Xiu is not only responsible for distributing the materials to the grassland, but also has to urge the state capital in the rear to transport the materials over, which also makes him inevitably deal with some officials in the rear.

Shuozhou's materials are sent to the grassland, the biggest problem is safety, in contrast, let the rear state capital transport the materials to Shuozhou on time, there are too many problems, after all, these materials need to be raised by the state capitals in various places, which is equivalent to sucking the blood of these state capitals, so there must be some people who are dissatisfied.

If an ordinary official is in charge of logistics, I am afraid it will be difficult to subdue these officials in the rear, which is also the reason why Li Shimin asked Li Xiu to personally supervise the logistics, after all, with him in charge, even if the officials in the rear are dissatisfied, they do not dare to delay the transportation of materials.

It is precisely because of this that now Shuozhou City has become a huge material transfer station, the rear of the material resources continue to be transported in, and then divided into three ways to transport to the front line, every day there is an endless stream of convoys of people in and out of Shuozhou, although it is very crowded, but also very smooth, to have such an achievement, of course, is not the credit of Li Xiu alone, he should be most grateful to Cen Wenwen and Xu Jingzong The two assistants, if it were not for their assistance, I am afraid that the entire Shuozhou would have been chaotic.

After inspecting the logistics, Li Xiu went to Sicheng to inquire about the generals guarding Shuozhou, in order to ensure the safety of Shuozhou, heavy troops were also stationed here, and spies were released to listen to the news within a radius of dozens of miles, if there were Turks approaching, they would definitely know in advance, and be prepared.

After Li Xiu inquired about the city defense, this was the end of the day's routine affairs, and it was already afternoon, when he returned to the governor's mansion, Yuechan also hurriedly sent lunch, because she knew that Li Xiu must not have eaten yet, in fact, Li Xiu had indeed been hungry, mainly because he was raised by Yuechan, and he couldn't get used to eating outside at all.

Just when Li Xiu was eating, he suddenly saw Ma Ye striding in, and he was not polite when he saw Li Xiu eating, so he directly asked Yuechan to serve him a bowl of rice, and then sat opposite Li Xiu and ate, but Yuechan didn't make enough dishes, and the two of them finally competed for me, and in the end there was not even a little vegetable soup left.

"Boy, tell you a great joy!" Ma Ye put the bowl on the table at this time, and said loudly with a happy face.

"Happy event? What's the happy event? Li Xiu couldn't help but glance at Ma Ye in surprise when he heard this, although Ma Ye came to protect him in name, in fact, he mainly used the power of Feinusi to cooperate with Li Jing's army, so he often didn't see people.

"Hehe, the prime minister has arrived!" I saw Ma Ye smile proudly at this time, he knew that Li Xiu had always wanted Zhao Deyan to return to Datang safely, so he had been paying attention to this matter for Li Xiu, and now that Zhao Deyan had arrived in Dingxiang, as long as Li Jing won Dingxiang, then Zhao Deyan could return to Datang safely.

"Great, when will he be back?" Li Xiu couldn't help but slap the table excitedly when he heard this, he was the one who sent Zhao Deyan to the grassland at the beginning, and now he welcomes him back safely, which can be regarded as a beginning and an end.

"Don't worry, the main reason why he went to Dingxiang this time is to dedicate Empress Xiao and others to Datang, and his task has been completed, and he doesn't need to stay by Jieli's side anymore, so as long as this time is completed, he can go back to Datang to enjoy happiness!" Ma Ye said excitedly again, Zhao Deyan completed the task excellently, which made them Feinu Si also follow.

"Empress Xiao, those people?" Li Xiu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then thought that Empress Xiao and the others lived in Dingxiang, and said excitedly again, "Although the threat of these former Sui royal families to the Tang Dynasty is already very small, it is an excuse for the Turks to go south, staying in the Turks is indeed a trouble, if they can be brought to the Tang Dynasty, it will save a lot of worry, but what is he going to do, will it be dangerous?" ”

"There must be danger, he plans to persuade a Turk named Kang Sumi to surrender, and then hand over Dingxiang and Empress Xiao and others to me Datang, if this method is not feasible, it doesn't matter, he has already contacted your father through Feinusi, and then he should cooperate with the outside and take Dingxiang directly!" Ma Ye replied again.

Hearing that Li Jing was going to take Dingxiang, Li Xiu also showed an excited expression, Dingxiang plus Xiangcheng, that is, Xinzhou of the former Sui Dynasty, this also means that the Tang Dynasty has regained a piece of its homeland again, and it can also welcome Queen Xiao and these people back, it is estimated that after this matter reaches Chang'an, it will definitely make people excited.

At the same time, Zhao Deyan in Dingxiang City was also implementing his plan, originally after they arrived in Dingxiang City, Kang Sumi wanted to take Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao immediately, and then turn back to catch up with the Jieli army retreating north, but Zhao Deyan asked to rest for a day on the grounds of physical discomfort, which made Kang Sumi have no choice but to stay in Dingxiang City for one more day.

However, in the evening, Zhao Deyan suddenly asked Kang Sumi to come over to the house, and Kang Sumi did not suspect it, thinking that Zhao Deyan was going to discuss with him about leaving Dingxiang tomorrow, so he also rode a horse to Zhao Deyan's temporary residence, and when he walked into the living room, he found that a table of wine and food had been prepared in the living room, and Zhao Deyan looked at him with a smile, but what made Kang Sumi feel strange was that he couldn't see any discomfort in Zhao Deyan at all?

"Ye Hu, aren't you feeling unwell, why don't you rest early?" Kang Sumi looked at the wine and food on the table, and then looked at Zhao Deyan who was smiling, and asked very suspiciously.

"Hehe, general, please sit down, I invite you to come here, in fact, I want to discuss with you a major matter related to the general's net worth!" I saw that Zhao Deyan smiled slightly at this time, and said to Kang Sumi in a gesture of please.

"What do Ye Go's words mean?" Kang Sumi originally felt that something was wrong, and when he heard Zhao Deyan's words, he asked more suspiciously, and he didn't sit down according to his words, but instead held the handle of the knife with a guarded face, and his eyes also looked around, and the intuition he had cultivated on the battlefield for many years told him that he seemed to be in a great danger now.

"The general doesn't have to be nervous, it's just you and me here, and I just want to talk to you about the current situation, is it any wonder that the general is even afraid of me, a powerless scholar?" Zhao Deyan spread his hands at this time, and said very calmly, but although his words were so, behind the screen and outside the window, more than a dozen of his henchmen guards were holding strong crossbows and pointing at Kang Sumi, after all, he was not a gentleman, and he didn't need to be responsible for what he said.

Kang Sumi also felt that there was a lot of danger around him at this time, and naturally he didn't believe Zhao Deyan's words, but he also knew that since he had fallen into the trap of the other party, he was afraid that he could only be at the mercy of the other party, which made him finally helplessly let go of the handle, and then sat opposite Zhao Deyan, staring at him like a wolf and asking, "Zhao Yehu, what do you want to do?" ”

"The general doesn't have to be anxious, it's not too late to drink this glass of wine first!" At this time, Zhao Deyan personally poured a glass of wine for Kang Sumi and said with a smile, and he also picked up the wine glass, as if he wanted to have a good time with the other party.

Man is a knife, I am a fish and meat, Kang Sumi has no ability to resist at this time, and even at this time he secretly regretted that if he knew this, he should have brought some guards, instead of going to the banquet alone, so he couldn't run if he wanted to.

In desperation, Kang Sumi could only pick up the wine glass and drink it all, and then stared at Zhao Deyan and said, "Now Ye Hu can say it!" ”
