On the steppe, the army marched at a rapid pace. [Eye-fast reading book new domain name., initials, previously registered accounts can still be used]

More than 100 heavy-duty four-wheeled carriages, each of which was a three-horse carriage, the heavy wheels pressed deep ruts in the grass, and the 5,000 infantrymen carried heavy lances and steel crossbows on their backs, which had become the standard weapons of the steppe army, and they also walked silently, and no one chatted casually.

Shuo Wang Jun military regulations, one person fouls, the whole team is punished, although most of these men are Li Jie recruited from Guanzhong by virtue of the prestige of the rivers and lakes, it is not easy to restrain it, but the righteousness is in the heart, and he can't do it alone, of course, there is a bit of a disadvantage, when the whole team decides to do a bad thing, the binding force of the warlord is also the weakest.

Fortunately, Li Jie is still very prestigious, except for a few times, this kind of thing has basically never happened.

The sunset is gradually setting in the west, and it has been walking for two days in a row, but the Shuo Wangjun has always been flexible as if he had just set off, even if he was carrying dozens of pounds of equipment, from the day he became an army in the summer, every brigade, at least ten days a month was fully armed grassland training, and the rest of the time, it was a uniform combination of dairy products, pork, and vegetables, which raised Li Jie's biggest reliance today.

It is also such an army that can stare at the scorching sun on the banks of the Yellow River, and attack head-on with all heavy armor, 10,000 people defeated 30,000 Tiele cavalry.

Walking along the Yellow River, the Shuofang army in the march was like a black horse, the armor was also black, the car was also black, the black middle, a little red was passing through it, wearing black and red heavy armor, Li Rong, who was as fat as a ball, sweated profusely and rushed to the luxurious four-wheeled carriage in the cavalry ranks, and whispered something to the car.

"It's really a wealth that touches people's hearts!" After sending Li away from him, Li Jie sneered and shook his head, but a crisp and pleasant hum came from beside him.

"Who made my family Langjun bring so much wealth?"

One hundred carts, fifty are loaded with military rations and horse food, and the remaining fifty cars, from brocade, silk, to glazed tiles of grassland specialties, the most exquisite cotton clothes of the cotton textile union, porcelain, and even a car also pulled a ceramic bathtub specially modeled by Li Jie after the later generations, two ceramic toilets, not to mention silk brocade, not money money, just two toilets are priceless and hard to find, even in the Chang'an Palace, there are only two.

Thinking of these wealth, Wu Meiniang couldn't sleep well, looking at her pretty face, Li Jie himself also had a headache and patted his head, no wonder the four girls were so fearless when they left, it turned out that there were already spies who followed, Wu Meiniang's success is that she can leave if she wants, and she doesn't need to ask Li Jie's opinion at all.

"Mei Niang, Shuozhou still needs you in many aspects, without you, the Black Ice Platform will not run smoothly, why do you have to follow me to Goguryeo, the place where the poor mountains and bad waters go out of the people?"

The one hundred and eighth time, Li Jie covered his forehead and said helplessly, the same one hundred and eighth time, Wu Meiniang was also chic and upright with the black helmet covering her hair, and said loudly: "No matter how important the grassland is, it is not as important as Lang Jun!" Guarding Lang Jun is guarding everything, Mei Niang can be entrusted by her sisters to take good care of Lang Jun, and she can't let a certain Goguryeo fox spirit hook Lang Jun's soul again! ”

"Who asked you to tie me up from the palace!" At the end, Wu Meiniang blinked her eyes quite playfully, this time, the slightly rough black camouflage deliberately painted could no longer cover the charm of women, and it was full of freshness, which made Li Jie fascinated and helplessly patted his head again.

"Okay, I won't say it anymore, but you remember, when you come to Liaodong, you have to follow me at all times!"

"Got it! I'm not going to leave if you chase me! Leaning on the soft cushions, Wu Meiniang muttered impatiently. After a moment of silence, Li Jie took the initiative to provoke the topic again.

"I know what Brother Wu Yuanqing has to do with you."

As soon as these words came out, Wu Meiniang's whole body stiffened, and she didn't care about her, but Li Jie continued to say to herself: "Mrs. Yang is my mother's concubine's predecessor after all, I have cultivated Hongnong Yang's family, and I have taken her and your sister Wu Shun back to Hongnong, as for Wu Yuanqing's two boys, it is not easy to deal with them for a while with the title of Duke of Yingguo, so I can only ask my father-in-law and eldest grandson Wuji to promote them to Longzhou to harvest wood and build boats for the expedition, I hope these two guys with bad stomachs can hang there directly." ”

Longzhou belongs to Lingnan Dao, Guangxi in later generations, it is definitely a dead place in the eyes of the Tang people, and she was stunned for a while, and then Wu Meiniang muttered and shook her head.

"So Lang Jun, you promised to add a layer to the grassland endowment, and raise the eldest grandson Chong's member of the household department? Is it worth it? ”

"You are all mine, and your enemy is also my enemy!" At this time, Li Jie gritted his teeth domineeringly, and shouted with exaggerated waves of his two hands: "Dare to offend my Shuo King Li Jie? I'm getting tired of living! ”

"Okay, Lord Lang Jun is wise and martial, Mei Niang is Lang Jun's everything, Lord Lang Jun is satisfied, right?" With a burst of laughter, Wu Meiniang immediately leaned softly on the cushion again, but when her shining eyes looked at Li Jie again, there was always a little more hazy warmth.

After walking for another hour, the sun had completely sunk to the horizon for most of the west, and the entire Shuofang army was encamped, and there was a lack of timber on the grassland, so Li Jie's sappers found another way, and dug a half-meter-deep trench directly around the camp, and all the carts were encircled in the camp, and the seven thousand soldiers gathered into various groups, and the firehead army of each brigade took out all the cauldrons and dried cow dung, and the cauldron boiled the Yellow River water, and large pieces of dried meat were thrown into the pot to stretch out.

Originally, Yang Yi was needed to help arrange hundreds of people to camp, but now with a few orders, the knife turned around Liu Yaogelo and a few envoys, and easily set up a camp of 7,000 people, with this sense of pride in growth, Li Jie leisurely returned to his golden-roofed big tent, the outermost circle of the camp, and the scout camp of hundreds of people also carried this leisurely mood, sneaking dogs to patrol around the left and right.

The Shuofang army camp with the smell of incense didn't notice that dozens of meters away, lying in the grass with a few green eyes, staring at the center of the camp, full of greed......

Mo Nan, that is, the Inner Mongolia of later generations, hundreds of miles of empty and uninhabited, compared to the silence there, Jinghu City can be described by the hustle and bustle, under the romantic city wall, the cross commercial street even at this time is very lively, perhaps suffocated by the night ban for hundreds of years, the only city without a night ban, the night is extraordinarily noisy.

The crowd walking on the street is also shoulder to shoulder, when the rebellion was suppressed, Wuyuan had a population of about 350,000, but now there are 200,000 residents in Jinghu City, in addition to the Turkic people grazing in the vicinity, oil mills, porcelain workshops, and various dairy workshops also attracted a large number of immigrants from Guanzhong, in addition to civilians, there are also various wealthy merchants on the Silk Road, and even the children of the family who are full of nobility are also not lacking.

Tang people have the habit of traveling the world to increase their experience, some Chang'an, the Central Plains and Li Jie's good family, under the advocacy of Li Jie, will organize their children to travel to the grassland every year to increase their knowledge, these people are generous masters, generous, their existence is to make the commercial street a little more active.

Where have you seen this?

When he was a child, he listened to his father Khan Zhenzhu Yinan talk about how prosperous Chang'an was, and he didn't believe it in his generosity, but now he staggered into the city behind Li Yiliu, a large number of bustling people, especially the lively crowd, and Dadu instantly felt that his previous life of more than 30 years was all in vain.

Seeing the shops, stalls, and dignified Prince Tiele wandering around like a bun, he also rushed into the women's clothing store to look at it for a while, which shocked the women of the family and screamed again and again, so panicked that Li Yiliu hurriedly slapped him out.

"You stinky barbarian, those are all nobles from the Central Plains, and if you offend the sixth brother, you will go to the Wuhou shop!" The big slap slapped on the back of Dadu's head, Li Yiliu pulled him and ran, and several soldiers hurriedly got into the small alley.

On the other side of the alley, in the dim butter light, a small shop is still in business, sitting in it, many of them are workshop workers, these people are from various workshops near the city wall, the earliest blue-collar class in Jinghu City, after a day's work, there are a few copper plates in their pockets, this cheap shop has naturally become the first choice for pastime.

Two glasses of Shuowangfu distilled liquor, a plate of peanuts, a stack of wild vegetables, and a sauce belly or barbecue to wash away the fatigue of the day, with a little higher knowledge than the nomadic farmers, it is more comfortable.

Mixed with a group of "cultural people", the appearance of magnanimity gobbling up is more and more abrupt.

What kind of barbecue has not been eaten in Tiele Khan Ting? However, after gnawing on the dried meat for a few months, this will eat a more flavorful sauce belly, and it is even more proud, and the generosity of eating almost didn't swallow his tongue, so that Li Yiliu, who saw the straight price, slapped him on the back of the head again.

"I haven't seen the world, leave some for Lao Tzu, your uncle!" Talking kung fu saw that a plate of sauce belly had entered the stomach of Dadu, Li Yiliu shook his head helplessly, turned around and shouted: "Boss, let's have another plate of sauce belly!" ”

"Let's have a drink first!" I had no choice but to pour a glass of shiny liquor for Dadushe, seeing that Dadushe thought that the water was boring, Li Yiliu and the others showed a lewd evil smile, sure enough, after a while, Dadu set squirted, but half of it was sprayed and tried his best to drink the other half back.

"Good, good wine!"

Seeing this guy's dizzy appearance, Li Yiliu's stomach hurt when he smiled, and he patted him on the shoulder with a smile and shouted: "Look at you like this, just like Lao Tzu's previous stupid brother!" ”

"Then, sixth brother, why haven't you seen your brother?" On the side, a government soldier couldn't help but ask, but Li Yiliu's expression darkened.

"Two silly brothers! The first one was shot dead by the Western Turks and helped Lao Tzu block an arrow, and the other let the Tiele people shoot to death outside the Iron City, or helped Lao Tzu block an arrow, alas, sometimes Lao Tzu thinks, why didn't Lao Tzu rush ahead? ”

"That's to let Brother Bing, you survive well, serve His Royal Highness King Shuo, and kill a few more Tiele dogs!"

A crisp voice suddenly sounded from the side, and while putting the sauce belly on the table, the young proprietress of * also said with a gloomy expression: "The slave husband is also outside, outside the Iron City, he was shot to death by the Tiele people. ”

"Big sister, relax the snack, there is no hurdle that you can't pass!" Sighing, Li Yiliu and a few gossips comforted, the proprietress also wiped her forehead, suddenly regained her little face, and said with a smile: "The old lady is not sad, my man died defending Wuyuan, and the gods in the city worship his rank, he is the hero of the old lady!" ”

The proprietress immediately provoked a large group of workers around to applaud, and after a meal, the proprietress said that she would not take anything from Li Yiliu, forcing Li Yiliu to throw down the money and run away.

"Hey, brother, brother really envy you!" At night, lying in the Datongpu Hotel at the root of the city wall, Li Yiliu slapped Dadushi on the shoulder with emotion.

"You know what? In October, you people will be reorganized into a large army and go to Luoyang to conquer Liaodong! ”

"What? Liaodong? What is there to envy there? "It's not that I don't know Liaodong, all of a sudden, Dadu set up a wine and woke up in fright, but I didn't expect Li Yiliu to slap him back again.

"What do you know? In the past few years, the salt mines you have dug and the money you have sold are all rewarded to you for your expedition to Liaodong, and there are five layers of officers like you, and five layers of other coolies, which is more than 20 yuan, more than 20,000 yuan! ”

"How much is twenty?" As soon as money was mentioned, Prince Tiele's eyes lit up again, but Li Yiliu was even more envious, muttering: "The wine we drank tonight is enough for you to drink for ten years, and with twenty times, it is enough for Lao Tzu to buy a house and go directly to the boss lady to hire him!" ”

Dadushi turned over and got up, turned around and was about to go out, but Li Yiliu was so panicked that he slapped him back again, and shouted in a low voice: "Big fool, what are you going to do?" ”

"Going to Liaodong?" Dadu said impatiently, and immediately let Li Yiliu press him back to the bed depressedly and scolded with a smile: "It's still early!" If you don't take care of those coolies in the past two days, can you go and talk about it! ”

turned off the lights, and after a while, Li Yiliu was already snoring like thunder, but he couldn't sleep at all, and his mind was a shiny copper coin, a mellow wine, and a charming proprietress for a while......

The next day, more than 1,000 people in the salt mine were organized into an army and marched to the military camp outside Jinghu City, and Dadu was among them, and more than 100 people like him were all extremely dedicated to scolding their soldiers, who were even harder than the original Tang army soldiers, and before entering the barracks, these more than 100 people had a unified action.

Looking at the pearl on the grassland, Jinghu City .......
