Liu Zhi used some salt and some iron tools, and exchanged them for these animal skins, herbs and other things. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

And the natives seemed to be very satisfied with this deal, and happily went back, and these animal skins were naturally put away by Liu Zhi, thinking that they would build a processing plant or something here, and process these purchased animal skins or something, make them into clothes and blankets, and then transport them back to the Central Plains, it is estimated that there will be a lot of business opportunities, but this is only a tribe, the number is too small, even if there are business opportunities, the business opportunities are not big, and if you want to talk about business opportunities, Liu Zhi's Langya Pavilion is even if it sells intelligence, You can also earn a lot of income, and you don't need to think about these things at all.

After staying on the island for a month and a half, Liu Zhi decided to return to the Central Plains with the second batch of fleets, and the base on the Tamsui side was already completed, and it would not be of much use for him to stay here any longer.

Moreover, after a period of construction, the equipment of this new base has basically been completed, and the most important defense facilities have also been completed, and the strength of an indigenous person, even if an army of 1,000 people is dispatched, it is difficult to capture here, so Liu Zhi is not too worried.

During the period when he left for Taiwan, the situation in the Central Plains also underwent considerable changes.

After Yang Guang defeated the army of the thirteenth anti-king, he came to Yangzhou City without danger, and most of the officials accompanying him immediately began to operate in Yangzhou, compared with the Central Plains, the situation in the south is not very bad, and Du Fuwei was newly defeated, so he sent Pei Renji and Yu Wenshu to lead the army to pacify everywhere, wanting to use the south as the foundation, gradually recover his eyesight, and attack the north.

In Youzhou, Luo Yi's army was completely annihilated by Dou Jiande, and after destroying Luo Yi, Dou Jiande was finally able to annex a large number of military supplies in Zhuo County, and he also received Luo Yi's remnants of the army, and his strength was greatly improved, but in this battle, Luo Yi's second son Luo Cheng escaped from Youzhou by boat, fled to Licheng in Shandong, and joined his cousin Qin Qiong Qin Shubao's troops.

In the west, the war between Xiao Mill, the king of Western Liang, and Chen Ling, the governor of Jiangling, continued, originally because Emperor Yang Guang of Sui was trapped in Siping Mountain, so Chen Ling once planned to abandon Jiangxia and retreat to Wuchang (Huanggang) in the east, but Yang Guang's side quickly turned the danger into a disaster, so Chen Ling had no worries and began to concentrate on attacking Xiao Miao's army, and the two sides once again fell into a stalemate.

And in Guanzhong, after the Sui army retreated from Qu Tutong and Yuwenshu, Pei Ju, who was still in Guanzhong before, fell into an embarrassing situation, and he still had 80,000 troops under his command, but he was facing the dilemma of being isolated north of the Yellow River, several ferries on the Yellow River had all been controlled by the Tang army, and Li Yuan also sent Li Yuanji to lead 30,000 troops to garrison Jinyang, plus Li Shimin's Qin army was eyeing Tongguan, which made them trapped in a small area west of Jinyang Pass and north of the Yellow River, which still belonged to Guanzhong, It is the territory of the Guanlong nobles, and Pei Ju is the Hedong nobles, he has no foundation here, and the Guanlong nobles will not give him any support, so his situation is quite dangerous.

"The last general will see Pei Gong!"

Pei Ju stationed the army in Longmen Pass, where the terrain is dangerous, it is difficult to attack, it is at the edge of the Hetao area, it can go down the river to the south, it can cross the Longmen Yellow River to the east and enter the counties of Hedong, and it can enter the counties of Guanlong to the west, and the position is very important.

Pei Ju put down the document in his hand, glanced at Li Jing, and said to him: "General Li doesn't have to be polite, sit down!" ”

Li Jing sat down in his first place, there was no special seat at this time, Pei Ju said to sit down, but he was actually sitting on a mat, which belonged to a kind of kneeling sitting.

"General Li, how is the situation in the army? What is the latest military information? ”

Pei Ju didn't look panicked, he had experienced a lot of things, and he had experienced a lot more difficult than the current situation, when Emperor Wen of Sui sent him to go through the Western Regions, there were fewer people around him than now, and the situation in the Western Regions was even more complicated than the current situation, he was not afraid at all, not only did he complete the tasks assigned to him by Emperor Wen excellently, but also made a large number of heroes and heroes, which can be said to have gained a lot.

"Pei Gong, the mood of the officers and soldiers in the army is still stable, but the soldiers are a little homesick, they have not returned home for more than half a year since the Eastern Expedition to Liaodong, and the current situation is still unclear, so the soldiers are relatively restrained, and there is no outbreak of escape, but I am worried..."

Li Jing's words were not finished, but Pei Ju knew what he was going to say, the soldiers missed their hometown, this is human nature, and it is unavoidable, but the tide of deserters cannot appear, otherwise their army will collapse.

"What about the grain and grass, how many days is there enough food and grass in the army?"

Pei Ju carried a large amount of grain and grass when he sent out his troops, but it has been several months since they sent troops to defend the Turks, and after Qu Tutong's troops retreated from Hedong, the grain route of the army has been cut off by the Tang army, and the Tang army dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops, besieging but not attacking, leading but not triggering, trapping them here, blocking their way to the south, east and west, and vacating the north alone, obviously trying to force them to the north, and the north has an army of hundreds of thousands of Turks eyeing them, Although the army of Shibi Khan was defeated by him Pei Ju before, their strength is still very strong, but they have no offensive power in a short period of time, it's just that if their 80,000 people dare to go north, they will definitely be targeted by Shibi Khan, and then they will definitely be harassed and attacked by the Turkic cavalry, and may even be besieged by the army, and eventually the whole army will be destroyed, so unless the situation is a last resort, otherwise they will not choose to march north.

"The grain and grass in the army can still last for a month, but I am afraid that the Tang Army will not leave us such a long time!"

"Chai Shao, the general of the Tang Army, has taken advantage of Li Liang in Hexi to lead the army to participate in the Sipingshan Alliance and march to Hexi, I think as long as the war in Hexi is over, the Tang Army will definitely take us next, otherwise our army is like a sword hanging above their heads, they must be unable to sleep and eat, and they will not be unhappy!"

Pei Ju nodded and asked, "You're right, but do you know?" Why hasn't the Don Army attacked us yet? That Li Mi's Wei army has already marched towards Luoyang, if Li Mi's Wei army takes Luoyang, the external situation of the Tang army will deteriorate rapidly, and Chang'an will also be threatened by the Wei army, at which point, they will lose the best chance to solve us!
