Chapter 465: Xiaoxue Freezes People's Hearts

More than 1,000 kilometers away from the nine children in the story, tents covered with snowflakes echoed each other in various formations, and the frozen cattle and sheep were piled up like hills.

The green smoke from the burning of cow dung drifted out as the tent curtain opened and closed, and soon disappeared into the night.

Surrounded by several tents, the sound of silk and bamboo can be faintly heard in the largest and most luxurious tent in the middle.

The tent was covered with a small curtain, but there was no cold feeling inside, and a dozen women wearing very few clothes, with the sound of the music, were twisting their waists vigorously, and the pot containing most of the milk wine was on the fire, and the wine inside was bubbling and gurgling.

The two people sitting next to each other on the wide felt carpet did not have a smile on their faces at this time.

Maybe it's because the woman doesn't dance well, or maybe the fire can't make people enthusiastic in the cold weather, one of the two people waved his hand, "Go down, go down, go down." ”

The woman who was still dancing suddenly stopped, saluted almost at the same time, and turned to leave with the smallest steps, for fear that the loud voice would disturb the two men.

"It's cold again." The waving man waited for all the women in the tent to leave, his eyes fixed on the slightly flickering flames, and said three words that seemed to have no meaning.

"Cattle, sheep and horses also freeze to death, and if the snow continues until tomorrow morning, it is estimated that there will be no fewer deaths...... After two days, it will be colder and the road will not be able to walk. ”

The man next to him seemed to understand what the previous speaker was trying to say, and his face, which had been caressed by the cold wind, showed a deep helplessness.

The person who spoke before lowered his head, and after a while, when the firewood in the fire suddenly crackled, he raised his head again, looked ahead, which was the place facing south, and said: "The place north of the Tang Dynasty is not small in terms of snow, and in the north of Hebei Province, Jili Prefecture may be very thick in ice." ”

"So what? The closest to us is Toyosu, more than ten years ago, maybe a snow could kill many people and livestock, and the contact with the outside world would be interrupted, but now there is no need to expect them to do much of something.

Datang disaster relief has always been the army first, Fengzhou's army is nominally under the management of the local state capital, in fact, who said you and I understand, Zhang Wang's two families of goods to provide capacity, oh, they call the ability of logistics that does not need to be tested.

The year before last, I remember the year before last, there was also a heavy snowfall, almost all of which fell to Toyoshu, what was the result? After half a month, the supermarket in Toyosu City is not only full of food, but also sells fresh cucumbers and watermelons.

This is a provocation to Changshengtian, when the road is easy to walk, it takes at least a month to transport the materials, and in the case of snow and road closures, it takes half a month to deliver the goods, in fact, I understand, they are telling us that no matter when, as long as the Tang Dynasty makes a move to my Turks, they have the ability to send the materials at an unimaginable speed, just like the original Yizhou logistics battalion, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. ”

The person who said this was very reluctant to admit the logistics speed of the Zhang and Wang families, but he had to admit that there was admiration in his tone, and more helplessness.

The person who spoke up before pursed his lips, sighed again, and said: "Yes, the Yizhou logistics battalion, the first to supply, as long as they are still there, no one dares to plunder their edge, and the supplies will be delivered in half a month, who would have thought that they use dogs, dogs can pull goods, they can pull people, if they find our position now, transport 10,000 sergeants here, with the speed of dogs on the snow, we can't run away if we want to, and the cavalry can't even lift the horse's hooves." ”

"Now that you know, you don't have to expect any losses in Jili Prefecture, the people of the Zhang and Wang families have long been accustomed to facing all kinds of difficulties, according to the legend handed down, they are paper kites, flying in adversity, stronger when they are strong, Que Special Service, it's really not good, let's go back, admit your mistake, Li Longji will not kill."

The person known as the Que secret service couldn't help but tremble, closed his eyes, and sighed again, "Ah~ Mo Jianlian, are you afraid?" Go back, go back and still have the Turks? You don't know the strategy used by Zhang Xiaobao's damn kid to govern the people, he will ask Li Longji to separate all our Turks and put them in the state capitals of the Tang Dynasty, and Tubo is already doing it. ”

Mo Jianlian did not answer immediately, but scooped a bowl of wine into the pot, smelled the familiar taste, raised his head and drank it all, returned a wine burp, and cut off a piece of roasted slightly charred mutton on the shelf of another fire with a knife, and ate it in his mouth, and after two clicks he felt that it was not a taste, and then said:

"I'm afraid, I'm really afraid, I'm afraid that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan will free up their hands in the northern part of Hebei Province and run here with their soldiers, and then it's not a question of whether we can go back, but how many lives and how much price they need to pay to get back, I don't think the two of them will be afraid of seeing blood when they kill people, so they can't do it."

Broken meat, no salt at all, our tea is gone, and in a few days, it is estimated that even the wine and the fire will run out, and you dare to plunder like before? I guess people are waiting for us, you haven't seen the power of artillery, I have seen it with my own eyes, after the thunderous sound, there are stumps.

The person who flies in the sky casually throws a torch at the grain and grass, to save it or not to save it? The generals we command can't always run around, and they can continue to command while dodging aerial attacks, right? ”

As soon as Mo Jianlian's words fell, there was a sound of footsteps outside the tent, and then the voice of a report also sounded: "Report, another 6,203 sheep in the circles of the headquarters have frozen to death." ”

"Got it." Mo Jian replied, and then turned his head to look at Que Special Service.

Que Secret Service aged a lot in an instant, and muddy tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, his mouth was deflated for a while, he let out a whining cry, and nodded his head twice, "Wait for the dawn, call the leaders of the various departments to come over, discuss the matter of going back, and then I will stay, be born in the world of eternal life, and die in the world of eternal life." ”

"No, if you stay, Li Longji will definitely be angry, thinking that you are fighting with him, and you will kill my Turks at that time." hurriedly persuaded that he didn't want to see Que Te Qin die like this.

"Then I will live a few more days, go to see Li Longji, see the capital of Datang, and maybe have the opportunity to meet Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan." Que Te Qin said in accordance with Mo Jianlian's meaning.

The heavy snow in winter was not specially given to the Turks and the Tang Dynasty, and even Silla and Japan also felt the breath of freezing.

Lee Long-ki didn't know how Japan was doing, but he knew a little about Silla.

When his body was soaked in the hot springs, when he experienced this comfort, there was no happy look on his face, and the letter in his hand was wet with water, he still read it over and over again, and then said angrily to Gao Lishi, who had just lit the agarwood:

"How did you teach your son? I prepared a soup pool for them, I want them to come over to bubble, they are good, it is not good to stay in Jili Prefecture in winter, they have to go to the Turks, the road is far away, the danger is unknown, if something happens, I... I'll just ask you. ”

"Yes, yes, the minister is guilty, what His Majesty said is that the minister's teaching is not strict, so the minister will send someone to find it." Colliers nodded repeatedly.

"Send someone to find it? Jokes, it's strange to be able to find them, when they come back, I will not spare them, and it will be useless for anyone to intercede at that time, I will punish them for not leaving the capital for a month, and cook for me every day, well, for a month, and let them soak in the soup pool every day, see if they dare to do so. ”

Li Longji said angrily.

Gao Lishi continued to nod his head, "Yes, yes, you have to be punished, you must be punished, don't dare, the minister estimates that they must not dare, especially the pool, it's weird hot." ”

"It's good if you don't dare, I've heard that the people of Silla are doing well this year, is there any new news? Tell me about it. Li Longji had face, no longer dwelling on this issue, he believed that the two of them could come back safely, and asked about Silla again.

"Yes, the minister will tell Your Majesty that the people of Silla have a good life, the price of grain has dropped again and again, and now the rice is only four cents, and the ruler cloth is even less, and there is a lot of snow in winter, and the people there use good charcoal and almost no money, which is more than my Tang Dynasty."

Gao Lishi smiled and introduced the situation to the emperor.

Li Longji also had a smile on his face, he knew that the grain was cheap not because Datang had reduced its price, Datang's rice was still five dollars and one bucket, and it was the local farmers who planted grain and couldn't sell it, so they had to reduce the price, otherwise they would have no money in their hands and wouldn't be able to buy other necessities of life.

As for the charcoal, of course, it was burned from the trees of Silla, and the people in charge of this matter of the two Jang and Wang families bribed the local officials of Silla with a large amount of luxury, allowing them to cut down the trees in the local area, and at the same time recruiting laborers in the local area, part of the charcoal burned was transported back to the Tang Dynasty, and part of it was directly paid to the workers in Silla.

If Silla doesn't stop it, what awaits is the death of the country.

"If it weren't for the people of the Zhang and Wang families who told me, I really didn't know that trees were so important to a country, and if I had known that this was the case, I wouldn't have let people work hard to open up the wasteland, and it would have been related to mudslides, floods, and droughts, and the source of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, as well as the tributaries of the Yangtze River, would have to plant trees, I don't know what would have become of Silla in the end?"

"Your Majesty, the ministers are estimated to have continuous disasters, and when the time comes, they can't wait to force them to fight, they need to get their people to Datang through various excuses first, and Xiaobao should have arrangements for this matter."

Colliers is also waiting for that day to come, and he will solve a big problem without bloodshed.
