The barbecue is great, the pure and original beef and mutton are carefully grilled with the skilled soldiers, Lao Luo is satisfied with eating, although he misses the various tricks and practices of the later generations, but there is really no such condition at the moment, and being too particular is to cause trouble for himself.

What's more, there is no good or bad without comparison, compared to the later generations these foods look sparsely made, but rich in nutrients, compared to all the races that they have come into contact with along the way, they far surpass them in terms of quantity alone. There are also some scattered shepherds encountered along the way, who are attracted by the smell of food, in addition to admiration for the powerful.

In the final analysis, no matter what tribe or people there are, isn't the most basic premise of life just a word? Especially in this era and place of scarcity of materials, it is not a joke to eat words more than naïve.

The food of Lao Luo's team is actually not so diverse, most of them are all kinds of coarse wheat flour plus various beans and meat, which are collected by Lao Luo from East Africa all the way like hamsters. The reason why it is said to be wheat flour instead of flour is that there was no such fine grinding process at this time, and many wheat flours were even mixed with different proportions of bran, but even so, it was enough to make people satisfied. As for rice and the like, the quantity is very small, except for a few that have been collected in Kaihelen and Smyrnalao, and it is rarely found in other places.

There is just one point, Lao Luo has a sufficient amount of food here, which is also what makes Lao Luo the most fortunate, he grasped the main context from the beginning, and the food collected at the beginning is the best guarantee for the whole team to move forward, not just the soldier's knives and guns, the carry-on space has solved too many problems in this regard, and the storage of food not only ensures the supply, but also reduces the load on everyone. Otherwise, it is just the hardships on the road that will wear off the physical tribulation of many people.

Chewing and swallowing the food in his mouth, Lao Luo was also scrutinizing his thoughts layer by layer, starting from Sylvan and tens of thousands of miles of travel, all things were mixed together, and it was light to say that there were thousands of things. Fortunately, at the beginning, I didn't want to break all the rules and reformulate a new one - it takes too much time, I can't stop it for a year or two, and the road is not smooth, but the occasional stumbling little things are also annoying, at least Lao Luo thinks that he doesn't have that patience, but fortunately, in front of him, Du Ne Li Nie Dou Mill These people are not in vain, plus there is a Li Xuan who is responsible for the overall chores, and finally there are no major mistakes, and it can be regarded as a smooth walk.

Looking around, Lao Luo felt that although these people were all dedicated, many things were well coordinated with themselves, and tens of thousands of people who managed the private sector could do it in an orderly manner, but it was still unrealistic to expect them to plan every step in the future, not to look down on people, but because they were not familiar with the current oriental environment and had no experience. Just by talking about the things on the road just now, the people in the private camp on the left began to be undecided, but they were not as good as the officers on the right who were in high spirits.

So it's better to set a goal and ask everyone to help fill in the gaps. If you want to engage in any kind of democratic reference, you can only reduce efficiency and cause trouble for yourself.

Lao Luo secretly sighed that he still needed to be sharpened, at least not yet a material that could dominate the party.

When he thought about all this, Lao Luo had almost eaten, wiped his hands with the prepared wet linen, and said, "Have you eaten?" There will be a lot of things on the way east, so I won't go into details, but I decided to take advantage of the situation to go eastward after passing Guazhou and Shazhou, swallow the place of the party members, and strive to find a place to settle in Yinzhou or Xiazhou. ”

When Lao Luo stopped talking and started to speak, everyone present had actually eaten almost the same, although today's food was abundant, but no one would be greedy at this time, not to mention that the food of the whole team was not lacking. As soon as Lao Luo's voice fell, everyone was a little stunned, the content of this sentence was really a little sudden, most of the generals didn't understand the meaning, they were used to obeying orders, they wouldn't speak casually, but the people in the private sector fell into thought.

After half a ring, Li Nie, who was closest to Lao Luo, spoke first, "San Lang, Xiazhou and Yinzhou are very close to Chang'an, why don't you go straight to Chang'an and do anything else?" ”

Li Ne said the questions of most Han people, and almost everyone looked up at Lao Luo, including the generals, these guys have heard Han people talk about how prosperous Chang'an in the east is, and naturally they have a yearning.

Lao Luo shook his head, "Shibo asked well, Chang'an is indeed a good place, but now that Chang'an is under the control of Zhao Song, how will I settle it after I wait for tens of thousands of people to pass?" I am afraid that before arriving in Chang'an, the border army of Zhao and Song will think that it is an invasion. ”

"This ......" Li Nie suddenly came to his senses, this is not the time of the Tang Dynasty in the past, the territorial control of the East is not the same thing as Central Asia, between the city-states and small countries in Central Asia, these tens of thousands of people can move at will, but to the East? The border army and local officials will become shackles.

Other older people such as Dou Miao, Du Ne, and Zhang Shen were also suddenly, and although Li Xuan, Li Zheng and others did not know the situation, they also knew that the matter was important, and they did not speak at will.

"San Lang, according to what I said some time ago, Zhao Song has Hedong, Shandong or even Guanlong (1), and some people in the clan have ancestral homes in Hedong and Shandong, if they can't return to their homeland, I'm afraid that people's hearts will be different......" Du Ne thought more, he was not worried that he would not be able to return to his homeland, but he was worried about the overall situation of this team.

Lao Luo knew that what Du Ne said was not embarrassing, but the actual situation, but this situation had long been expected by him, so he followed up and said: "What Du Lao said is very true, there is indeed such a possibility. However, it is not without reason that I chose to settle in Yinxia, the land of Yinxia is close to the Yellow River, which can be diverted to irrigate and reclaim fertile land, there are coal and iron nearby for the workshop, and the grassland can be reached to the west and north, which is convenient for storing war horses, cattle and sheep, which is the best place for us to stand! What's more, Yinxia is the only place for the silk trade route, after basing on the Yinxia, the benefits and disadvantages are needless to say, at that time, there are people in the clan who like to do business can open up trade routes, can go back to the west, and can also go down the east of the river......"

"Wonderful!" The stubborn old man Dou Mo was fascinated by Lao Luo's description, and couldn't help but cheer, "General Luo is really ...... Great talent! In the past, the tall and handsome Tang Dynasty was not as good as General Luo! ”

Such a compliment from Chi Guoguo really made Lao Luo unacceptable, so he had to reluctantly keep silent and spread his hands. Li Ji beside him was flushed, and he was honored.

In fact, Lao Luo's idea was considered as early as when he was Silvan, but most things were uncertain at that time, so there was no specific plan. Now that he has defeated the team of the three joint departments, and even captured Li Deming, the most critical transitional figure of the party members, no, since the end of the skirmish a few days ago, Lao Luo's mind has not stopped.

"Shut up, you daredevil!" Du Ne slapped Dou Mo beside him unceremoniously, "San Lang is talking about Yuanwang, if we want to reach that step, we must first gain a foothold in the land of Yinxia!" ”

Under the influence of Lao Luo, the way many people in the team speak has changed, and of course Lao Luo's words are also changing, anyway, it is a very chaotic and interoperable era.

"Du Shibo, there is no need to scruple about this, isn't it just a war, we are confident that we can defeat all enemies!" Cheng Shouru listened for a long time, and only then did he find an opportunity to speak.

Gonzas, who was listening to Alker and Min Wenhou's commentary, also interjected, "Old Du, we don't have to worry about any enemies!" ”

Gonzas's Chinese language was learned from the Han people in the team and Lao Luo, but the name of the private people was to follow Lao Luo, plus the stiff pronunciation, how awkward it sounded.

Du Ne said angrily: "You don't know the outline of the East, there are Zhao Song and Khitan people over there, their number is very large, more than ten times that of us!" San Lang, what do you say? ”

After listening for a while, Lao Luo was very interested and immediately said: "Du Lao is too worried, although the number of Zhao and Song is large, it is not easy to transfer, and the civil and military restrictions are restricted, even if the army is mobilized, it is inevitable that the opportunity will be missed, and if there is no time, their army is not to worry...... As for the Khitans, there are many internal contradictions, and the majority of the people who can be sent to Yinxia are just adding people to us! ”

Lao Luo deliberately said it very easily, and he suffered a big loss from the number of people, but compared to strategy? He didn't believe that the party members of this era could do it, but he couldn't.

"Well, Saburo's plan is indeed excellent!" As in Sylvane's time, Dunne was a meticulous hand, but he was also a decisive man.

Seeing that no one questioned it anymore, Lao Luo continued: "Since this is the case, let's settle down and go straight to Yinxia!" It's already mid-June, and winter is not far away, so time is pressing, so I plan to rest here for half a month, and then camp eastward! Do you still have questions? ”

"General, the day before yesterday, there were many damage to the side vans, and the arrows were missing, I'm afraid it will ......," Cheng Shouru said bluntly.

"Well, what about the others?" Lao Luo nodded modestly, and then asked.

"General, the wounded soldiers need to be recuperated, and there are some patients in the camp who need you to take a look." Haydn, the medical officer, who had never said a word, stood up and said respectfully.

"Understood, I'll arrange it later, you sit."

After no one told him anymore, Lao Luo began to make a summary, "Fifteen days is not a long time, but it is not a short time, please work together!" First things first, Li Zheng! You are in charge of screening the prisoners, and the part about the Qarluqs can go to Corn Philo, Siddec Nord, and the Judge Advocate General's Office to select people to cooperate, and for the Green Cultists, those who do not want to convert will be killed! Kill those who don't surrender! Let's start with the Han first, is there a problem? ”

"Obey, Lord!" Sidd Knord got up suddenly, promised loudly, and led Li Zheng to stand up and make a military salute that was not so standardized.

"Okay, sit!" Lao Luo didn't care about the details, turned his head to Li Nie and said, "The second thing is to bother Shibo, the combat equipment the day before yesterday was missing and damaged, and it needs to be completed by the workshop, and there is a lack of manpower to choose from the Han prisoners, how about it?" ”

"Don't worry, San Lang, leave it to the old man!" Since Lao Luo and Li Ji were officially engaged, Li Nie, a quasi-father-in-law, has been very concerned about his affairs, and this moment is no exception.

Lao Luo didn't be polite anymore, turned his head and continued: "The third thing, Du Lao, Dou Lao, the affairs of the private side still have to be arrested, the weather will start to heat immediately, some soldiers are still wearing leather jackets, I have left enough fabric in Jinghu a few days ago, and the new military uniform should be made as soon as possible!" ”

"San Lang, more than half of the military uniform has been made, and the new combat boots are almost finished!" Doune stepped forward to respond.

"The fourth thing, Brother Xuan, Fularji, you have to cooperate, close to the east, plus the weather is starting to get hot, all discipline must be strictly controlled, especially pay attention to those who spread rumors and do not abide by hygiene norms!" Discipline is always the most important thing for Lao Luo, there is no room for sloppiness, the closer to the end of the road, the more likely it is that people's minds will change, and after collecting the captives, it is inevitable that there will be people who are uneasy about the current situation, and the same is true in terms of hygiene, a little sloppiness and plague and the like may come to the door, and there is no room for any slackness.

"Obey, Lord!" Fu Lalji and Li Xuan stood up and saluted almost at the same time, and Li Xuan did not have any complacency because of Lao Luo's "Brother Xuan".

"The fifth thing, except for the guards, all the soldiers in the barracks will have a day off tomorrow, and then they will start routine training, and the regular patrols must not be delayed, and no one is allowed to slack off! Sidd Nord, pay attention to strict military discipline! General Cheng, get ready to receive the captives! "The last one involves the army, Lao Luo is never polite, except for taking care of Cheng Shouru's emotions and calling the position, the rest are directly named.

All the officers stood up and shouted, "Commanding the general!" ”

Lao Luo quickly got up and returned a chest military salute, "Okay!" That's all for today, thank you! ”

Although the people in the private sector acted differently, they all had some expressions of admiration and pride.

People began to walk out, but Zhang Shen and Zhang Lu, the only ones who were not mentioned, turned backwards, and Zhang Shen, who was the leader, came to Lao Luo and asked respectfully: "General Luo, what can my Zhang family do?" ”
