Chapter 196: Butter Tea
"Follow our Datang army, a happy life is guaranteed! Follow the army of the Tang Dynasty, have food, clothing and a wife! Follow the Tang army, there are cows, sheep and tents! This slogan also became the propaganda language of those people, and then it really fooled some Fanbang slaves to follow the army of the Tang Dynasty. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
And for those who dare to go against Datang, being killed is only a result, and their families are all taken away. The roads in Shuzhong are now lacking in labor repair, these people are the best free slaves, and these Li Hao are very thorough, even if there is no shortage of slowdowns, it doesn't matter.
Li Hao swept all the way to the west, and as for any scruples in the army at this time, none of them were in his consideration. That's his purpose, to catch enough slaves back, and to clean up all the hidden dangers here.
This battle should not only be fought beautifully, but also demonstrate a new concept to Li Er and them, so that they can know that in fact, fighting a war can also generate income. And after the fight, Li Hao is ready to hand over all the military power in his hands, and he will not think about what he will do.
The first is that it is impossible for all of these soldiers who follow him to follow him to do anything Tufan King, and the other is that Li Hao's relatives in this life are all in the Tang Dynasty, and he can't leave them all. In the end, Li Hao is really not interested in being a king in the plateau, and he can go around once in a while, and he will go crazy if he stays in this kind of place all the time.
After Xi Jun bought them and chased them out, they attacked in their respective directions, and the things that should be explained had been completely explained before the war, and there was no shortage of matching materials for them, and if there was an accident, several sets of backup plans had been prepared.
So there wasn't much for Li Hao to think about, he just had to follow behind and slowly head towards Tufan. And after Niu Jin reached Songzhou Mansion, he stopped advancing, and while he transferred back to those rich merchants what Li Hao had gotten, he cleaned up the mess and cleaned up the surroundings.
According to Li Hao's orders, these people must live in peace under the rule of the Tang Dynasty in the future, if there is a problem, the whole family will be captured and sold as slaves, and the king of Maozhou and Shu are waiting for the manpower to build the road.
In addition to this intimidation, the remaining population of all the tribes was scattered with the rest of the tribes, and then redivided into settlements. All the population and household names are registered with the Songzhou government, and once there is an abnormality, the end is to be sold into slavery.
This is a huge job, so Lao Niu's people are all busy, and Songzhou Mansion and Maozhou have sent people to help. The rich merchants also helped in it, and then exchanged all the things in these places for food, so that the merchants all made a profit.
"Will Governor Li do this to make the emperor scruples?" Lao Han naturally has no qualifications to put on a stand in front of Niu Jinda, Lao Niu's official position is higher than him, not to mention that he still has a defeat. What he is looking forward to now is that Li Hao can achieve greater results, so that he will be a lot easier.
"It's okay, I've already reported everything here to the emperor. That kid is advancing so fast that the people I sent out can't catch up with them, have the people you sent over catch up with them? The emperor didn't give an order to attack, so we can't attack at will, but it's different to grasp the fighter plane to attack. ”
Niu Jinda held a large bowl, smiling as he watched his subordinates count all the results, while asking Han Wei, and then drank the tea here. Sending someone to inform Li Hao of the matter, this kind of task was originally sent by Lao Niu to do it, and it had little to do with Han Wei.
"I haven't been contacted yet, Li Dudu's march is too fast, I have sent a few people over, but I haven't caught up with them. The terrain of this state is more complicated, and it is really difficult to catch up for a while, so we can only send people over again, and it is even more difficult to go up on the plateau. ”
Lao Han is not a fool, the more results Li Hao can achieve, the more benefits he will have. And nominally he is not qualified to order Li Hao, Lao Niu asked him to inform, and the relationship between Lao Han understood after a little thought, and everyone pretended to be confused.
Anyway, it will take some time for the army of Hou Junji, the head of the marching army, to come over, so everything is not in a hurry, and how to decide has to wait for Hou Junji or Chang'an's decision. Before that, everyone should fish, how to do it, anyway, there are some things in mind, there is no need to say it.
"The siege of Songzhou City has been resolved, should we slow down our march and wait for Chang'an's reply?" On the other side, the adjutant general of Hou Junji on the march was discussing this issue at this time, that is, whether to slow down the march.
"Nope! We need to speed up and hurry to Songzhou Mansion! "Hou Junji is not very good in history, not only greedy, but also ruthless, and he rebelled with Prince Chengqian, but in fact, this person is still very capable of fighting.
He studied the art of war with Li Jing and fought many tough battles. He was very clear about the situation in Songzhou Mansion, and at first he thought that it was Niu Jinda who relieved the siege of Songzhou, so he didn't pay much attention to it, but now the intelligence shows that the battle was not fought by Niu Jinda!
If Niu Jinda had broken without making a move, then things had already happened towards a situation that he couldn't have predicted. This result was not what he wanted, so he had to rush to Songzhou Mansion as soon as possible, and he couldn't wait for a reply from Chang'an.
"The siege of Songzhou has been lifted, and Tufan's 50,000 army is gone. There should be no more fighting along the way, you will slowly follow from behind with the infantry, and I will lead the cavalry to take the lead. ”
After thinking about it for a while, Hou Junji replied again, and then quickly rushed towards Songzhou Mansion with thousands of cavalry. What Hou Junji didn't expect was that although he rushed over early, it was still several days slower than Li Hao planned for him to rush over.
So when he arrived at Songzhou Mansion, Li Hao's army had already swept away all the small tribes between Tufan and Songzhou Mansion. And his army has changed from less than 10,000 to tens of thousands, and then rolled directly towards the plateau.
"General Niu, why did you stay here and not leave the army of the Maozhou Metropolitan Mansion?" Hou Junji saw Niu Jinda immediately after arriving at Songzhou Mansion, and he always felt that Niu Jinda should know something about this matter, after all, Niu Jinda's men also participated in the war.
"I can only stay here, and if I go any further, I and some people will come out in different physical discomforts and will not be able to fight." Niu Jinda's official position is slightly lower than Hou Junji's, but there is not so obvious difference between the two.
"Not feeling well? That's not an excuse, is it? Hou Junji asked after glancing at Niu Jinda, the look in his eyes proved that he didn't believe Niu Jinda's words.
"If you don't believe it, you can take some soldiers and chase them there. The road has now been completely cleared, there is no danger, and I can send some normal soldiers to protect you. ”
Niu Jinda didn't know what altitude sickness was, this was what Li Hao told him, and ordinary people would have this kind of reaction after entering the plateau, but the situation was slightly different, and it could cause death in serious cases. This old cow has already experienced it, and he is very confident when answering.
"It's not that I don't believe you, so let's go over there with me, and if this kind of problem really happens, we'll go back." Hou Junji quickly came up with a plan, and Niu Jinda agreed without hesitation.
In fact, not only Hou Junji doubted it, but even Lao Han also doubted it. Niu Jinda's reason was too reluctant, if there was really such a situation, why wouldn't the people led by Li Hao be in this situation, and they almost chased Tufan up to the plateau.
Of course, Li Hao's army will not have this situation, he has already done adaptive training for those soldiers, and he also pays some attention to food, and after going to the plateau, he specially improved the eating habits of these people, how can altitude sickness occur?
"What the hell? So unpleasant? "Compared with Cheng Saburo and them, Fang Er, who first entered the Tufan activity, has now become the coolest one. His combat effectiveness is not very good, after all, his father is a civil official, so he stayed by Li Hao's side after Li Hao went to the plateau.
Seeing that Li Hao asked people to cook something like soup, this guy thought that Li Hao had made some special delicacies, and immediately rushed to take a big sip. After drinking it, his whole face became bitter, the taste of this thing was so strange that he couldn't stand it a little.
"You take another sip and try it, don't drink so much at once." Li Hao looked at Fang Er's face with a bitter smile and said, after this guy stayed on the plateau for a while, he had a strong smell on his body, like a Tang soldier, and he looked a lot more mature.
"Still drinking? I really don't want to drink anymore. After Fang Er heard Li Hao's words, he thought that Li Hao was lying to him, so he hurriedly shook his head like a rattle. This kind of unpleasant thing, drinking it once is enough, and drinking it again is a fool.
"If you drink it again, you'll find that it tastes different, don't you see that everyone around me is drinking this? This kind of thing is good for those of us who are just on the plateau. Li Hao rolled his eyes, and then scooped up some of his brows and drank it without frowning.
The thing he cooked was butter tea, the first sip of butter tea was unbearable, the second sip was fragrant, and the third sip would never be forgotten. However, the taste of butter tea itself is really not flattering, and many non-plateau people can't tolerate its taste, but they can't help but drink it.
But for the plateau people, this thing has become an indispensable thing for them, but Tufan at this time does not have this. As soon as the butter tea that Li Hao asked people to make came out, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were a little unaccustomed to drinking it, but those Fanbang slaves who followed them drank it very energetically and soon liked this kind of thing.
