Chapter 470: Containment Problem to be Resolved

A team of hundreds of thousands of people struggled to move through the ice and snow, and almost every moment someone fell and could not get up again.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan frowned from time to time, and Mo Jianlian and Que Special Service also looked like they were cut by a knife.

On another 10 days, the hot air balloons ran out of fuel one after another and landed on the ground one after another, and the two Que special agents and the leaders of various tribes were still 'protected' by the people brought by Zhang Xiaobao.

In order to reduce the weight, the other Turks had already thrown away the ideas of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

Watching the hot air balloon that could no longer be used as firewood, Mo Jianlian and Que Secret Service coincidentally looked at the still clear night sky, gathered next to a bonfire, drank spicy wine, and their hearts were full of bitterness.

"Zhang Xiaobao, can you think of a way to let the people of Fengzhou transport the grain and grass faster? I can't afford to die, and if my clan dies any longer, there will be less than half of it. ”

Mo Jianlian glanced at Xiaobei and the others who were guarding next to Zhang Xiaobao, and said to Zhang Xiaobao, while sniffing, a fragrance that he had never smelled came from, and he was curious about what Xiaobei and the others were holding in their hands.

Xiaobei was burned and changed hands back and forth, blowing in his mouth, seeing Mo Jianlian looking at it, he didn't care whether he could stain his clothes, put the sweet potato in his hand on his pants, rubbed his hands vigorously, pinched off a piece from the sweet potato and handed it to Mo Jianlian, "Give you a taste." ”

Zhang Xiaobao looked at his sister, and then at Mo Jianlian, and introduced: "This is called sweet potato, which can be used as food, and can be made into flour, which is very delicious, and can be turned into snacks when it is dried well. ”

Mo Jian was stunned for a moment, took the sweet potato, and suddenly remembered the purpose of coming over, "Zhang Xiaobao, when will the grain and grass arrive?" ”

"It's fast, it's fast, it's difficult to travel now, your clan has a large population, even if a hundred and ten catties of food arrives first, it's a drop in the bucket, and then insist on it."

Zhang Xiaobao spoke, wiping his sister's black mouth from eating roasted sweet potatoes, and looked helpless in the face of Mo Jianlian.

A cry came from a distance, Mo Jian couldn't bear to close his eyes, knowing that someone in the clan had died again, he gritted his teeth and asked Zhang Xiaobao: "If, I said if, now it's not the people of my clan here, but the people of your Datang, can't you get grain and grass?" ”

"Uh, this...... Well, this ....... ”

"Zhang Xiaobao, I beg you, you can be gracious, I am guilty, I shouldn't have taken my clansmen away, you killed me, don't be angry with my clansmen." As soon as Mo Jianlian saw Zhang Xiaobao's hesitant appearance, he knew that if he was replaced by the people of Datang, Zhang Xiaobao must have a way to solve it.

Kneeling in front of Zhang Xiaobao with a plop, he begged bitterly, he thought that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were not angry, so he deliberately wanted to let his family have more dead people.

Zhang Xiaobao looked at Mo Jianlian in front of him, his eyebrows were squeezed into a Sichuan character, and he didn't go to Mo Jianlian, but sat on the ground, looked at Mo Jianlian and said:

"To tell the truth, it's really my Datang people, not to mention hundreds of thousands of people's grain and grass, that is, millions of people, I also sent people to the place early, it's not angry with you, I'm afraid that once all kinds of resources are mobilized, there will be no defense against your backhand, in case someone of you instigates it, and attacks it when I deploy it, what should I do?"

"No, I promise not, they don't have the strength anymore." Mo Jian heard that there was hope, and hurriedly promised.

"You promise? When it comes to the survival of a clan, can you guarantee it? In this way, order your people to throw away all the brass and iron, kill all the horses, burn all the leather armor, let the old and the young eat first, and walk in front of the procession, I can guarantee that within three days there will be food, and salt tea, but salt tea is only for the old and young, agree, and you go and give orders. ”

Zhang Xiaobao finally relented, but put forward a bunch of conditions.

Mo Jianlian knew that this was Zhang Xiaobao's bottom line, and listened to the cry that was gradually weakening in the wind, and nodded gratefully, "Okay, I'll go and tell you right away, do as you say." ”

"Brother." Mo Jian left, Xiaobei leaned into Zhang Xiaobao's arms again, bit his ear and said: "Brother, don't give them enough to eat, just now when Xiaoyuan and I went to give roasted bud rice to a few of their children to eat, they were still glaring at me." ”

"Oh? Then we didn't kill them? Zhang Xiaobao touched his sister's head and asked.

Xiaobei shook his head, "No, what's the use of killing a few?" Unless they are all killed, Xiaoyuan said that they don't hate us, they hate the injustice of the sky, the hunger and cold heart of food and lodging must be wild, they are all like wolves, they can be killed but not tamed, they are given food and clothing, and they are educated, and their ambitions must be lost, and for a long time wolves or adult dogs, such as pheasants and poultry, such as mountain boars and pigs. ”

"Yo, we Xiaobei know so much." Zhang Xiaobao praised.

"It's not me, it's Xiaoyuan, who looks learned all day long, which makes people look annoying." Xiaobei took out the softest core of the sweet potato and put it in his mouth, and muttered with his fingers.

Zhang Xiaobao didn't expect Wang Juan's younger brother to start studying this aspect of the matter, wiped his sister's saliva fingers clean with a smile, and asked, "Then aren't our people in Datang without blood?" Even the Turks are not as ambitious? ”

"That's different, Xiaoyuan said, Fanyi's ambition is to win, and Datang's ambition is to create, that is to say, the people in their surrounding places want to grab good things when they see that I have good things in Datang, what about our Datang, we make things that make life better, they don't understand the benefits of making things by ourselves, as long as we don't let them be emperors, we will always make them all the time, right?"

Xiaobei said that later, he couldn't figure it out, so he had to ask his brother.

Zhang Xiaobao couldn't tell his sister too deeply, even if he said it, Xiaobei couldn't understand it, so he could only nod his head in agreement.

The Mo Jianlian who went to give the order was not so smooth, many people were unwilling to throw away their personal weapons, let alone kill the horses, and Mo Jianlian began to force the people in the clan to do the same, and killed hundreds of people, which achieved the goal.

At dawn, the team set off again, marching much faster than yesterday, horse meat was also food, and those who were well fed had replenished their physical strength, and they had stronger resistance in the face of severe cold.

The faces of Mo Jianlian, Que Special Service and the leaders of the various tribes in the Turks were not very good, worried that their status would be lost after they really surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and they were even more afraid that the people in the clan would not be distracted when they saw Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's guards.

Mo Jian repeatedly told the leaders of other tribes that the Tang Dynasty weapons were powerful, so that they must suppress the resentful clansmen, and if there was a conflict at this time, it was estimated that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan would be ruthless to destroy the entire Turkic.

Walking on the road, there are still people who are frozen to death from time to time, and those who have the wind and cold do not have to hope to survive, and every time they advance that distance, a few corpses will be left in the team to be used as food for the wolves who dare not come forward after them.

In the cold wind howling, the mood of the Turks was even more volatile, and there were several times when someone came out of the team to make a move against Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's team, but they were discovered and killed by others early.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't seem to know, they still talked and laughed with Mo Jianlian and others, as if they were traveling, they would occasionally find a few snake holes, catch the hibernating snakes, dig out the snake gall and use strong wine to break it, and make snake gall wine for the younger brothers and sisters to drink.

Xiaobei has complained that the snake gall wine is unpleasant, bitter and astringent, but every time she gives it to drink, she doesn't refuse, mainly because she drinks a little wine, and she is faint and comfortable.

Just when some people in the Mo Thorn Lian Worry clan couldn't control their emotions and caused a monstrous disaster to the entire Turkic, the three-day time promised by Zhang Xiaobao finally arrived.

Ahead was still an endless steppe, covered with a layer of snow, and at noon on the third day, when the team was resting, a row of black dots suddenly appeared on the horizon, and the Turks who were eating stood up one by one and looked over vigilantly.

Mo Jianlian hurriedly picked up his clairvoyance and looked over there, only to see countless deer and dogs appearing there, running towards his side without hurry, and behind the deer and dogs there were sleds that were upturned in front.

In addition to the deer and the dogs, there were also those with sails raised above in the back, walking with the wind going, and many people wearing white clothes and cloaks, with two 'bamboo slices' under their feet? A pole in each hand, follow the advance, if the other party does not move, and does not look carefully, it will not be able to detect at all.

"This is the team that delivered goods to Toyosu Supermarket in the first place, right?" Que looked at Xiqi and asked Mo Jianlian next to him.

Mo Jianlian shook his head slightly, "It is estimated that not only the ones who sent grain and grass, but also the troops who came to suppress us and others, those in white clothes, in order to ensure the same speed, the deer and the dog did not use all their strength when they ran." ”

As the distance between the teams on both sides is getting closer and closer, even when you can see the situation on the opposite side clearly without clairvoyance, the people in the Turkic team who are ready to move are finally honest, if they still wanted to leave Zhang Xiaobao and his party desperately, then now that the people's brigade has arrived, there is no hope at all.

When the Datang team reached a distance of less than 100 steps from Tubo, a thousand people with skis came out of it and spread out in all directions, forming a semi-circle formation, to surround the Tubo team.

Another dozen people rushed straight to Zhang Xiaobao and the others, and with each time their arms were thrust down in the snow, the bodies of these dozen people would move forward for a long distance, much slower than when the galloping horse ran on the grassland, but many times faster than people walking in the snow.

"Report, little boy, little lady, Fengzhou Snow Battalion came to report, there should be one thousand and fifty people, but there are one thousand and forty-nine people, one person just set off and broke his foot, the report is complete."

More than a dozen people came to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and the middle one stood up to report.

When Mo Jianlian and the others saw the appearance of these dozen people, they wondered for a while, because they didn't know what the other party looked like, they were all wrapped up and down, and even their eyes were wearing something, thinking that they should be afraid of the wind and crying in the wind.

Zhang Xiaobao knew that it was called goggles, specially developed for the snow team, to block the wind, and he didn't have to worry about snow blindness, and when he heard the report, he took the initiative to take a step back, let Wang Juan go to the front, and said that if he didn't care about the army, he wouldn't care about the army.

Wang Juan replied with a snap, nodded and said, "Very good, take care of the one with the foot, go back to strengthen the basic training, and return to the team." ”

"Yes." This person responded, did not give Wang Juan a straight upright, afraid of falling, his hands were supported with ski poles, his legs swinged, and the person had already turned around and slid towards the team.

Another person stood up again, "The Fengzhou logistics battalion reported to duty, there should be 2,200 people, there should be 2,200 people, there should be 1,000 snow deer, there should be 1,000 sled dogs, 6,000 sled dogs, and there are 6,000 sled dogs, and in addition, four sled dogs fell into the ice hole when passing by a lake, and were stretched up by the sled dogs in front and rear, and in the process of recuperation, they should have 1,900 snow war dogs, and there were 1,900 snow war dogs. ”

"Very good, return to the team, pay attention to the four injured sled dogs to do a good job of healing and keeping warm." Wang Juan also returned a salute to this man.

She can imagine the situation of the four dogs at that time, it must be the dog in front of the past, the ice suddenly broke, and four dogs fell in the middle, according to the training, the person on the sled will brake the sled, that is, the brake, and then the dog in front of him will push forward, and the dog in the back will force backwards, and the dog that falls will be stretched up, and wait for someone to go over for treatment.

This is usually something that a well-trained polar sled dog does, but I didn't expect the people trained in Toyosu to train it successfully.

"The Fengzhou medical team reported to 300 people, but it actually arrived at 300 people, and the report was completed."

"The Fengzhou Engineer Battalion reported to 600 people, but it actually reached 600 people, and the report was completed."

"The Fengzhou loss management team reported to 450 people, but it actually reached 450 people, and the report was completed."

"The Fengzhou Operational Command Headquarters reported to the Command Headquarters, and there should be 60 people, but it actually arrived at 60 people, and the report is complete."

"The Fengzhou reconnaissance battalion reports to the ......."

"Toyosu spy battalion report ......."

"The Toyosu towed artillery battalion reports for ......."

One by one, people stood up and reported to Wang Juan, and Wang Juan also returned the salute one after another, and the leaders of the Turkic tribes not far away were also listening, and then they knew that an army could have so many branches, each in charge of its own affairs, not just the kind of arrangement when the forward and the Chinese army were marching.

After the people in front of me have finished reporting, there is still a short one left, a dwarf?

The short man also slid to the front, and did not report to Wang Juan, but looked around, found Xiaobei who stayed behind, held up a few ski poles, and came to Xiaobei's approach, and the voice was a child's voice, and said: "Feng, Fengzhou, children's group, regiment, report, report, report, should arrive at 100 people, but there are 86 people, 14 people are frozen and crying, let the adults send them back." ”

Xiaobei looked at the people of the children's group with a surprised face, the boss with his mouth open, blinked his big eyes vigorously, and after a long while, he reacted.

"There is also a children's group in Toyoshu? I was still crying from the cold, I was so stupid, I was embarrassed, I could cry when I wore duck down, I didn't cry when my face was blown red, I didn't cry when I was blown red, I didn't study well in the school, what kind of fun did I come here to join? ”

"Stupid, I can't read it anymore." The little guy in the children's group replied with little confidence.

"Well, that's it, return to the team, pay attention to keeping warm, don't cry in the cold, if you fight, remember to shoot far away, don't rush forward, pick the leader to fight first, just like wearing this."

Xiaobei deliberately pointed to the leaders of the Turkic tribes next to him and introduced them to the head of the Fengzhou Children's Group.

"Yes, remember, pick the leader first." The regiment commander took a few serious looks, agreed, and also supported his hands, squatted and swung his legs at the same time, wanting to learn from others to turn around, but he fell down with a thud and struggled to get up, and then left.

It was a shame to see Xiaobei cover her face.

Zhang Xiaobao was happy to see it, and said to Xiaobei: "Xiaobei's children's group is still very brave." ”

"Don't mention it, I'll disband them when I get back." Xiaobei was sad, the direct troops were really not angry, and I saw many pairs of eyes looking at him, looking back, reacting, and smiled shyly, "Uncles and uncles, Xiaobei said to play, didn't let them really beat you, funny, and they forgot about it after a while, yes, talking about playing, children, and they can't beat adults, right?" ”

Xiaobei's explanation is obviously not acceptable, the leaders of the Turkic tribes are more worried about the people of the children's group, children are not as steady as adults, maybe they and others make a little move, they will be misunderstood, usually children can't beat adults, but children with guns have to be counted separately.

Wang Juan watched from the sidelines, and did not stop it, acquiescing in this matter, understanding that Xiaobei brought a greater threat to others, like handing a loaded gun to a monkey who was curious about everything.

Zhang Xiaobao said to Mo Jianlian and others at this time: "The materials delivered for the first time have arrived, you have arranged the corresponding matters, and the materials will be sent one after another, I hope we can unite to fight the cold environment together, and please do your best." ”

Mo Jianlian and the others agreed again and again, and scattered to arrange, at this time, Zhang Xiaobao did not continue to take care of them, and the people were all together, not afraid of them making trouble.

As said at the beginning, the supplies delivered were given priority to the old and the young, especially salt tea and medicines, and the Turks did what they were told, and they no longer dared to express their thoughts in their hearts, and they seemed to be in harmony.

"Xiaobao, how to arrange the more than 200,000 people who have returned to Shun? It can't all be placed in Fengzhou, where there is a shortage of manpower, and once they get the opportunity, it is estimated that there will be chaos again. ”

When the team marched again, Wang Juan began to worry about the personnel arrangement, and asked Zhang Xiaobao.

"Arrange to Henan Province, Huainan Province, and Jiangnan Province, and Jili Prefecture will also arrange 5,000 to break them all up, so as not to let them form a settlement advantage, and arrange someone to explain to them the laws of my Datang, and treat them equally with other people in my Datang, without any preferential treatment.

I don't need to be gentle with them, since I admit that I am a member of the Tang Dynasty, don't engage in specialization, if I don't recognize it, I will destroy it, as for the pre-Turkic traditions, they can be retained without conflicting with my Tang Dynasty laws, and all conflicts will be changed. ”

Zhang Xiaobao knew that such an arrangement would cost a lot of money and food, but he had to do it, otherwise it would be difficult to do it in the future.

"The Yellow River has been frozen, you have to go by land, say hello in advance, and you have to send more troops to come over to deter, I'll arrange it." Wang Juan agreed with Zhang Xiaobao's method and began to do it.

When the Turks could no longer be any threat, the people of Silla began to have a hard time.

Muxian Ling got the benefit and began to write to the clan of Silla with Li Dong, and took the demolition fee given by Song Qian to carry out the demolition.

Now that it's the end of the year, the year hasn't passed, most of the people are focused on the New Year, and when they heard that the Muxian order was going to be demolished, the first thought was that the Muxian order didn't plan to let themselves have a good year.

People who don't want to be demolished and relocated when the New Year is approaching, and who are more courageous, unite their neighbors and come to the county yamen to discuss with the county order, hoping that the county order can be accommodating and wait for the New Year.

As a result, they didn't see the Mu County Order, but what they saw was a black-faced official, who was beaten after a little argument, and couldn't find a place to reason, so they had to hold back their grievances.

Mu Xianling is not afraid of the people making trouble at all, and those who dare to make trouble will be arrested and put into prison to be honest immediately.

At this time, he was stealing fun, Song Qian gave him money according to the number of people on the household register, not according to the area of each family's house, and it could not be calculated, the house was basically no one registered except for the corresponding officials, usually the number of fields was registered, and there was no difference between building ten rooms and building one room.

The price given by Song Qian is 500 wen per capita, and the money given is still Datang banknotes, and you can directly buy good things from Datang.

Mu Xianling's mind became active, and he was ready to distinguish the people in the county according to men, women, and old and young, adult men, give 300 wen, adult women 200 wen, old people 100 wen, and children give 50 wen.

And what he gave was not the banknotes of the Tang Dynasty, but the money of Silla, which he kept by himself, partly for spending, and partly for gifts to the people above.

Under the coercion of force, the people in the county were not allowed to collect their belongings, and reluctantly left the house where they had lived for a long time step by step, trying to find a new place to settle.

The Mu County Order also urged people to act quickly, and it was best to complete the demolition work during the Chinese New Year.

At this moment, the news from somewhere came into the ears of the people in the county that the merchants of Datang gave a banknote of 500 wen per person, and did not require that the relocation be completed before the New Year.

It didn't take too long for the people in the county to know all about it, and when they looked at the money they got, and compared it with the money in the rumors, the people immediately knew that the money was greedy for ink by the people in the county, and the bold people once again organized people to find the yamen.

"Diao Min, Diao Min, all Diao Min, call me, arrest me." Seeing that there were more and more people gathered outside the yamen, Mu Xianling was a little worried, and more angry, and the orders were conveyed one after another.

The people do not fight with the officials, under the deterrence of strong force and status, the people in the county are honest, and they begin to converge one by one, and come to a new place to build a house again according to the arrangement of the Mu County Order, but the resentment in their hearts is even greater, but there is no way for a while.

In this case, Song Qian came with a lot of supplies and brought due goodwill.
