"Their safety is more important than mine, and if they are defeated, we will all go back without food! And the situation in the entire Quanzhou Prefecture will worsen! ”

Li Hao waved his hand and asked the two lieutenants to hurry up to pick up the other group. Li Hao's previous judgment was wrong, and now he is worried that the other group of people will underestimate the enemy, and then fall into the trap of the Shanyue people, and lose most of the trouble. In this case, Li Hao himself would have to walk around without eating.

In addition, Li Hao still had some killer features that didn't come out, and he didn't dare to continue hiding at this time. As a person in later generations, Li Hao is very optimistic about the things that Li Er is not optimistic about, and he knows the direction of this thing, so Li Hao is actually improving those things, but he didn't give them to Li Er.

Now he wants to use those things, so he has to take Li Er's cronies away. These guys are not very reliable, Li Hao is afraid that they will betray themselves, in this kind of era, you have to leave a few things for yourself to be prepared.

"Zheng Tingshi, how do you see the taste of this food?" After sending his two lieutenants out, Li Hao took the rest of the people to follow Zheng Tingshi and quickly went to the front line here. The battle over there is in full swing, both sides are facing each other, and before Li Hao came over, this Zheng Tingshi was in command here.

No matter what the war is, people always have to eat, and of course, all kinds of flavors and delicacies are also indispensable, such as this one in front of you. On the way, Li Hao let the soldiers he brought catch a lot of locusts and then scald them with boiling water. Remove the wings and legs and feet, and slowly roast them in a pan.

Bake until the water dries up and browns, add sesame oil and pepper seasoning. The locusts of Huang Shengsheng exude an attractive aroma. The fragrance is indescribable, and there is a fragrant smell of grain grass in the crispness. Li Hao's current hospitality to Zheng Tingshi is this-salt and pepper locusts.

"This thing is really delicious, if this dish is popularized in Quanzhou Prefecture, I think the locust plague here can be alleviated a lot." Zheng Tingshi didn't have much to eat, he was worried about the war on the front line all the way, and the current situation in Quanzhou Mansion.

Li Hao's original 5,000 people were not much, but now he has divided another 3,000 to support another way. Although this would distract those Shanyue people, these two thousand soldiers did not have much impact on the current overall situation at all. At this moment, being pulled by Li Hao to eat delicious, Zheng Tingshi actually has more mentality to deal with.

However, after eating it, he couldn't help but praise this thing, especially knowing that this thing was actually made of locusts, which made Zheng Tingshi's impression of Li Hao immediately change a lot. Li Hao took out this thing at this time, obviously having some ideas.

As the assassin of the Tang Dynasty, Zheng Tingshi did not call on the Son of Heaven to cultivate virtue like some officials in history, and he couldn't do this kind of stupid thing. In fact, locusts are not so terrible, and they have nothing to do with the immorality of the Son of Heaven, they are just a pest.

He also knew that if the locusts were to be controlled, they had to be wiped out. And if the locusts can be made delicious, the surrounding people will clean up the locusts themselves without calling for their own calls, after all, there is a shortage of food now, and if the locusts can be eaten, they can save a lot of food.

"Well, in fact, you can also dry the locusts, when 'friends come from afar', fry a plate, get two or two small wines, and take it out to entertain friends." Li looked at Zheng Tingshi's reaction and said with a smile, this is just one of the means.

Although Li Hao is not an expert in harm prevention, he can also use some of the methods used in history. For example, call on all people to come together to catch locusts and make locusts into a delicacy. Then let the people here raise more chickens and ducks, and those locusts are just right to feed the chickens and ducks.

In addition, Li Hao asked his students to send a few people to another way, and they gave Li Hao another way to exterminate locusts to run and raise them. The last way required Li Hao to take action personally, and during this time, while marching, Li Hao also asked his soldiers to collect some herbs and come back.

"Lang Jun, is this preparing medicinal herbs?" Zheng Tingshi didn't notice this, and even if he did, he wouldn't think much about it. However, Wanwan, who was following Li Hao, was a little curious, and didn't understand what he was doing collecting these things during the march.

"Well, prepare some herbs, and we'll use them then." Li smiled and replied, not explaining what he was going to do collecting these herbs. These are some of the things that are taken when there is a gap in the march, and they do not delay the march.

"General, the front line is almost here, should we send someone to inform the people in the city government in front?" At this time, Zheng Tingshi ran over to ask, not far ahead is the front line of confrontation with the Shanyue people. The county seat here is still in the hands of the government, and there are troops stationed there.

"Go and let me know, lest the people in the city think of us as Shanyue people." The county town in front was not surrounded by Shanyue people, so it was not difficult for Li Hao and them to go over, which was also the reason why Li Hao came here with confidence, they were marching in the safety zone all the way.

It's just that as he got to know more comprehensively, Li Hao found that his trip to Lingnan this time didn't seem so easy. Not only because of the famine situation in Quanzhou, but also because the Shanyue people here are not the same as those in Guangzhou, and the situation is very grim.

There are a lot more Shanyue people here than in Guangzhou Prefecture, and they are divided into three different factions, each led by a leader. There are almost hundreds of thousands of people in each faction, plus the old and weak, and they usually stay in their respective ranges, and once the war starts, the three sides can echo each other.

"There are about 100,000 of them who can fight, and the real elite together is no less than 100,000, and the more they fight, the more they fight. So over the years, the more the government has been more passive in the back, and now there is only passive defense left, and there is no plan to counterattack. ”

After arriving outside the city mansion, Zheng Tingshi smiled bitterly again after looking at the strictly guarded city wall. It seems that Li Hao has been smiling bitterly when he has been seeing this guy since he saw this guy, and he is very heartwarming when he wants to come to this kind of day! In addition to being the top, he kept asking the court for help.

"This is the most terrible consequence, after fighting like this, I am afraid that it will not be long before the entire Lingnan Road will be reduced to the world of Shanyue people." After listening to Zheng Tingshi's words, Li Hao's expression became more and more serious, and the situation here was developing towards the side he didn't want to imagine.

"Yes, when will the imperial court come with hundreds of thousands of troops, and push it all the way, what kind of Shanyue tribes have been swept away, and what kind of rebellion will appear." Zheng Tingshi smiled bitterly again, he didn't want such a result, and he could see the consequences.

But he had no soldiers at hand, and he was helpless. This side of Lingnan Road belongs to southern Xinjiang, and it is not so important to Li Er, who plays a role in the fertile soil of Guanzhong. How could he give hundreds of thousands of troops over, don't even think about this kind of thing, it will be similar in the years to come.

"What did you do with the Shanyue people you caught before?" Li Hao was silent after hearing this, and then asked. After so many years of fighting, it should be impossible for the official side to be without prisoners. Li Hao has always paid more attention to the captives, because there are so many things that these captives can do.

"What else can be done, after so many years of fighting, both sides are red-eyed. Those who catch each other are quick to kill, not to mention that neither side has enough food to feed the superfluous, so there are no prisoners on either side. ”

"Well, I know the situation. Now there are a few things that need to be handled by the assassin history, and the matter of the war will be handed over to me, and you can concentrate on helping me deal with the rear, which is a great achievement. The big families and wealthy merchants of Quanzhou Prefecture, under all your notice, ask them to borrow some money and grain in my name, I need these things to arrange, and then return them after the war. ”

Li Hao pondered for a while, and after perfecting his thoughts, he opened his mouth to explain to Thorn Shi. Dealing with the Shanyue people, this kind of combat method of running if you can't win and taking a bite when you have the opportunity is really a headache, which reminds Li Hao of the guerrilla warfare in later generations.

If there are not enough troops in this kind of war, it may not be so easy to completely eliminate it. However, Li Hao is not without a way to deal with them, when Li Hao traveled to Fujian Province in later generations, he saw a kind of tulou, maybe that kind of thing can be moved here to use.

However, Li Hao still needs a lot of money and manpower, and then he can perfect this plan. It is not enough to rely on the earthen buildings of the ring fort, but also to add fast-moving roads. This is the cage plan played by a certain country in later generations, compressing the living space of the Shanyue people step by step and forcing them to fight a decisive battle! Or perish on their own.

This plan is quite large, and if it does, it will take a long time to bear fruit. Li Hao is not short of time, what he lacks is manpower and resources, as well as funds. Therefore, he still has to contact the Guangzhou Mansion and Li Ke's side, and he must compress the Shanyue people from all around, and cannot give them space to transfer, nor can he give them resources from other places.

Zheng Tingshi left the front line with Li Hao's explanation, after Li Hao arrived, all the troops were under Li Hao's control, and how to fight was Li Hao's business. Zheng Tingshi was originally a little worried that Li Hao was too young, and he would be impulsive and troublesome when he started a fight.

However, after reading Li Hao's plan, Zheng Tingshi had no doubts about the battle. Li Hao's plan was very steady, and he didn't blindly want to find the main force of the Shanyue people to fight. That's a good thing, at least you don't have to worry about fighting a war.

It's just that he still has problems in other aspects, Li Hao's plan is too huge, and it will take time and manpower, "General, if you continue to implement this plan, it will cost a lot of manpower and material resources, and Quanzhou Mansion may not be able to afford it." ”

"You don't have to worry about this, you just need to raise money from those rich businessmen and big families. If those people don't want to, you write down a list of these people and leave it to me to deal with. ”
