After entertaining the envoy, Fang Yun also began to enter the preparation mode.

In fact, it's already October, and winter is about to start soon, so it's always good to plan ahead, although it's still about two or three months. Fortunately, a lot of fur was seized on the Huns before, which made the soldiers have such a fur to keep out the cold, but this is not the solution in the end, in the absence of cotton now, how to keep warm in winter is a very serious topic.

It is precisely because of this that it has become common knowledge that all kings know that there is no army in winter. Later, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goryeo, and the subsequent Tang Dynasty conquered Goryeo, and a large extent of the failure lies in this.

There is no substitute method, that is, a down jacket or duvet. It's just that in this situation where most of the population is not enough to eat, there are very few large-scale cases of poultry farming. Therefore, the collection of duck down to make down jackets or something, the number cannot keep up, and now it can only be satisfied with the existence of officers and above.

Considering that the other side has a large number of cavalry troops, the result of the calculation is that the rebellion must be completely quelled within a month, so that it can return to the Taihang Mountain base before the complete winter. Otherwise, the army will easily fall into passivity, or it will spend the winter here and fight again.

In fact, even Gongsun Chan only started a war with Zhang Chun and them in the second year, Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju also because of the arrival of winter, so they survived until the second year before they were defeated, the former was killed by the doorman, the latter is nowhere to be found, it is rumored that Zhang Chun committed suicide when he was killed, and there are also rumors that he went to the land of Wuhuan.

Spending a winter in this kind of place or something, it was naturally impossible, so Fang Yun only planned to solve the matter quickly.

But I didn't want to, so I started the second mobilization meeting, and when I started to set off the next day, the guards came to report, saying that there was a convoy with a large amount of supplies coming towards them.

"Do you know whose convoy it is and what purpose it is?" Fang Yun also asked casually.

"It is a wealthy family from Beiping County, and they said that they came to reward the army this time. There were hundreds of jars of fine wine, more than 500 stones of various grains, and a large number of cattle and sheep in the convoy. What is rare is that at the end of the convoy, there are more than a dozen cars, loaded with young and beautiful women, saying that they are honoring the generals. The guard replied with a strange expression.

Speaking of which, this guard is only in his twenties, and he doesn't seem to be married yet, seeing so many young women, it is inevitable that he will have such an expression, right? It's just that he is a personal guard, although he is somewhat regretful in his heart, but he quickly sorted out his mood, and after confirming that there are no new instructions, he retired and left.

"Strategist, what do you think about this?" Fang Yun looked at Xi Zhicai.

"I don't know how you saw this, my lord?" Xi Zhicai smiled and did not answer directly.

"Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief! It's good that these family gate lords don't hate to death, if there is nothing wrong with the army or something, will you believe it? Fang Yun shrugged.

"They didn't have an army with them, and there were no reports of an enemy within thirty miles of them!" Xi Zhicai asked again.

"Does that mean that they weren't the ones who did it? Or is there something wrong with the food or wine you delivered? Fang Yun thought about it and gave another possibility.

"There are any possibilities, even if they are really just here to treat the army. It's just that when we are out of the country, we will inevitably have to give priority to the most serious situation when thinking about problems, so that we can ensure that no matter what problems arise, we will not be caught off guard.

This time, since they want to sacrifice the army, then let them sacrifice the army. It's just that the army has fun, and there is no need for wine and women, which breaks the rules of our army. The most important thing is that people do not suffer from poverty but suffer from inequality, seeing that officers have beauties to enjoy, but the soldiers know that low-level officers do not, it will inevitably make people feel guilty......" Xi Zhicai said solemnly.

"Well, Ben Shuai knows!" Fang Yun nodded.

After a while, he still called the dark department over and asked about the results of letting them follow the eunuch before. Then I found that a more important figure appeared in the eunuch team, and the eunuch was actually respectful to him. With this attitude, Fang Yun thought that he could only be the core power figure of the other party, and it was either Zhang Ju or Zhang Chun.

The former is obviously impossible, it can only be Zhang Chun! What I didn't expect was that behind the proclaimer, there was actually this big fish! If he were caught here, the war would be much easier.

It's just that when asked about Zhang Chun's whereabouts, the dark department said that the other party had left the territory of Youbeiping County and his whereabouts were unknown. Interestingly, in terms of timing, not long after the other party left, these families actually came to the army, and it seems that they had secretly spent some time with Zhang Chun in a certain manor before, and there was really a problem!

"Go to the state and county borders immediately to take a look, especially the layout of the enemy army, I want to get accurate information as soon as possible!" Fang Yun waved his hand and gave an order to the dark department.

The captain of the dark part received the order, and then quickly fled, he must organize people to go to the border to check in the shortest possible time.

"Let's go meet our guests!" Fang Yun walked out of the tent with a smile and said to Dian Wei, who was waiting on the side.

After a short time, the convoy of the families came to the front of the barracks, led by the steward of one of the families, who was actually his clansmen, although he had five suits, but in the strict sense, he was also the brother of the head of the family.

"The general is above, this time my right Beiping County has suffered the scourge of rebels, and the damage to the counties is quite serious, and our and other families are also in danger, and they are in fear all the time. Fortunately, the general came to sit in the town, and we were able to live a stable life for a few days, and since the general was so helpful, we and other families could not repay, only prepared some wine and meat, and came to reward the warriors, some meager materials, and I hope the general will not dislike it. "That steward has some cultural skills, and I don't know if this statement has been prepared a long time ago, and it has actually raised Fang Yun's image to such a great situation.

It's just that Fang Yun heard it, but it was funny, and said secretly: If it weren't for your ulterior motives, I'm afraid that you will also gnaw your teeth at me, and you can't wait to eat its flesh raw, and you will thank me for seeing the hell! I really don't know what these families think, they still play the drama of sacrificing the army in such an environment, and I don't know if they really think that they are stupid, or if they really think that they are called Hanako, and they are shaken out of proportion when they encounter such a little thing?

No matter what tricks the other party played, Fang Yun simply took it, and before the accurate news from the dark department came back, he would just delay the time a little bit.

"In that case, please sit down in your tent!" Fang Yun smiled and gestured for everyone to come in.

"Then, the little ones will bother!" Seeing Fang Yun's smiling appearance, the steward suddenly laughed in his heart, and then on the surface, he still pretended to be enthusiastic and humble, and entered the army with the convoy. (To be continued.) )
