Chapter 7 Shengshi (Eleventh B) The guards in charge of guarding had already informed the Boling Chinese Army of the news that Li Jiancheng and Luo Yi had come together, and Zhang Jiang, the general on duty, heard about it and hurriedly led a group of strategists and generals to greet him.

♀ After looking for Li Xu in the crowd a few times and not finding his figure, Jiancheng grinned, and asked pretending to be cordial: "What about your general, did you spend the night yesterday?" He's a person, he likes to do everything! Zhang Jiang stepped forward and hugged his fists with Luo Yi, and replied with a smile: "General Xie Yingdeng hasn't woken up yet, and the general can't rest assured, so he went to visit early in the morning." So I couldn't come forward to meet the son. I've sent someone to inform the General, and he'll be able to come in a moment! ”

"Brother Xie is still asleep?!" Li Jiancheng frowned, his face full of worry.

"If that's the case, it's a nuisance. Xu Maogong sent so much grain and grass, and I didn't give him half a cent in return. If Brother Xie has another ...... three long and two short. Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, Brother Luo and I can wait slowly, but Brother Xie's healing can't be delayed! ”

"There is Lao Shizi who cares!" Zhang (Se Sejiang gave his hand again, then took a step sideways, and asked Li Jiancheng and Luo Yi to go first.

He followed him with the Boling brothers. At this moment, the guards of Li and Luo hurriedly caught up.

Seeing that the two commanders had safely entered Li Xu's Chinese army, they dismounted and stood quietly outside the military tent.

There is a way to be obedient and listen to the sound, although Li Jiancheng's face is full of smiles at this moment, the critical meaning in his words is clearly distinguished by the Boling soldiers.

These people are all friends with Li Xu's knife head, and they usually look at Qian'er's face, and they still retain some respect for Li Jiancheng, the eldest brother.

At this moment, since Li Jiancheng took up the identity of the prince, everyone naturally remembered the difference between Boling and Hedong, smiled and said hello a few times, and then went to work on their own affairs.

There are still many low-level civilian staff members in the Chinese military tent who are buried in business, and when they see Jiancheng and Luo Yi, the few who really can't avoid it, suddenly stop the business at hand and give a salute.

Most people are so focused on their job that they don't bother to lift their heads. Li Jiancheng felt everyone's cold attitude towards him, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart.

But soon, he forced this nameless karmic fire down. talked and laughed with Zhang Jiang and Luo Yi as if nothing happened.

"I heard that Brother Xie was out of power that day, why hasn't he woken up yet. There are some old men in our army, and they can be transferred to listen to it! ”

Xie Shizi cares. Lang Zhong in the Boling army has already checked General Xie's pulse, and the decoction can also be poured down. But General Xie may have phlegm in his heart, so his pulse is stable, but he is sleeping soundly, as if he doesn't want to wake up! Zhang Jiang arched his hand and politely rejected Li Jiancheng's kindness.

♀

"I don't want to wake up, and there is such a thing?" Li Jiancheng frowned when he heard this.

"Is there a shortage of medicine, but there are life-threatening medicines such as ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum! I'll send someone to fetch it right away! ”

"My general once had a warehouse on the prairie. Although the trade route has been cut off in the past two years, there are still dozens of Liaodong ginseng that were transported before, all of which exceeded eight taels! Zhang Jiang smiled and continued to shake his head.

"Your general is rich!" Luo Yi listened interestingly and interjected with laughter.

"My general said that if he doesn't become a general, he will go to Tao Zhugong!"

"Wouldn't that be a pity! King Tang has always regarded the general as a plugged on the Great Wall! Luo Yi looked at Li Jiancheng and joked in a low voice.

"The general has always been able to take it and put it down. The wealth in the eyes of others is just a cloud of smoke in his eyes! Zhang Jiang smiled again, called a few pro-soldiers, and asked them to make tea.

"No, I have to persuade Zhong Jian well. Don't let him move his mind to retreat! Li Jiancheng grabbed Zhang Jiang with one hand and Luo Yi with the other, and he was in a hurry.

"You two also have to help persuade Zhong Jian more. He is more than a round younger than me, how can he lose his enterprising spirit at a young age. No, this kind of thing really can't come from his temperament! ”

"Look at the world in a hurry. My general just said it casually, and he may not take it seriously! Zhang Jiang pointed to the stool next to Li Xushuai's case and motioned for the guests to sit down.

Without Li Xu's general order, he didn't dare to go too far. After quietly giving Li Jiancheng a dismissal, he then pretended to be a little apologetic and explained: "Some time ago, I was mainly busy fighting, and many things in the six counties were backlogged. Now that he finally had some free time, the general moved all the chores to the army to deal with. In addition, the bereavement of the bereaved families of the fallen brothers and the resettlement of the wounded brothers were also very laborious. This time, although we were able to defeat Ashina Gutuoru with the help of General Luo, the losses of our Boling army were also very heavy......"

"The Tiger Rider is just doing his duty, not a helper." Luo Yi waved his hand lightly and refused Zhang Jiang's thanks.

He is now willing to be a minister, his mentality seems to be much calmer, and he has a good demeanor in his gestures.

"Brothers who have lost their lives for the sake of the kingdom should be more careful in dealing with the aftermath. You can go and get busy, the prince and I will sit next to you and drink tea! ”

"General Zhang is busy. Brother Luo here, I will take care of it! Li Jiancheng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile as half the master of the Boling Army.

'There is a bit of self-cultivation in this world! Zhang Jiang secretly admired in his heart, smiled, and pointed to the center of the table,

"There are specific people in charge of specific things, and I am the most idle one. ♀ Luo Gong and Shizi eat some dried fruits first, this is the candied fruit sent by the labor army from Boling, and it tastes really good! "In the center of the table are four vermilion lacquer plates, in which honey-made plums, red dates, dried apricots and lotus roots are placed in turn, and the flowers are very attractive.

For Li and Luo, these special desserts were originally vulgar things that they were tired of eating. But since the chaos in the world, such mundane things have not been seen very often.

I stretched out my hand and picked a few, threw them in my mouth and chewed them slowly, and a trace of sweet and sour taste immediately melted along the tip of my tongue, making people feel indescribably comfortable.

Seeing that the guests were eating sweetly, Zhang Jiang thought about it and introduced it diligently: "These fruits are all specialties of my six counties, and they quench their thirst." Zhang Junshou was ready a month and a half ago, but it took some time to climb the mountains and mountains along the way. As soon as he entered the warehouse this morning, the general immediately ordered someone to send more than a dozen baskets to Luo Gong and Shizi. It is estimated that when the two adults return to the camp in a while, these dried fruits will arrive! ”

"You have to worry about your general!" Luo Yi and Li Jiancheng put down the teacup and gave up their hands at the same time.

"Why don't you take the waterway?" In the blink of an eye, Luo Yi thought of a very strange question again, and asked with a frown.

But without waiting for Zhang Jiang to answer, he found the answer himself. He shook his head with a smile and said in a low voice: "Later, please trouble General Zhang to send someone to my camp to get a token, and with it, you can get unimpeded in the border of Youzhou." If the military supplies were to be transported directly from the Sanggan River to Huairong, it would be much easier than by land! ”

"Zhang Moudai, all the Boling brothers, thank you, old general!" Zhang Jiang quickly stood up and reached the ground,

"I'm worried about how to transport those big animals captured after the war to Boling, since the old general is willing to borrow the way, he really solved a big trouble for my Boling army!"

"Whew! Following behind Li Zhongjian, everyone is as good at learning as ghosts! Luo Yi raised his foot and made a kick gesture towards Zhang Jiang.

The dried fruit that had been put in the mouth could no longer be spit out, so I had to close it

"Anger" swallowed together. Since last summer, there has been no big wave of business travel between the six counties of Boling and Youzhou.

This time, tens of thousands of cattle marched south along the banks of the Sanggan River to Boling, which also opened the first opportunity for the two families to reconcile.

"All the cards along the way, my Boling army will pay according to local rules, and I will never let Youzhou lose a penny!" Zhang Jiang smiled and opened his body a few feet to the side and promised in a low voice.

"Although the old man is poor, he can't look down on your little money!" Luo Yine squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Jiang, and the more he looked, the more he felt that this kid had sincerely set a trap for himself.

It's not his character to be taken advantage of by others, and after a little groaning, he found a way to turn the book.

"The harvest in the counties of Youzhou was very poor last year, you transported the livestock away, let the caravan bring more grain. Sell it to the old man at the price in Boling, and the old man will order someone to trade with you with salt and iron. ♀”

"No problem. There happened to be a batch of military rations to be sent to Huairong. I ordered people to come out to Youzhou in three, and the old general arranged for someone to receive it nearby on the bank of the Sanggan River! Zhang Jiang didn't think about it, and agreed without hesitation.

Although Youzhou and Boling are close neighbors, due to various reasons, the difference in grain prices between the two places is quite large.

Transporting grain thousands of miles to Youzhou and then selling it at the price on the Boling market, this transaction was carefully calculated, and Luo Yi made a lot of money.

However, water transportation is far less labor-intensive than land transportation, and the number of one-time transportation is also far larger than that of land transportation. After converting the loss and transportation time saved by the Minzhuang on the way, this transaction did not suffer much for Boling.

When it comes to money and food, there is no one in the big tent of the Chinese army at this moment who is more accomplished than Li Jiancheng. After thinking about it a little in his heart, he had already calculated that this was a deal that would be beneficial to both Boling and Youzhou.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Youzhou and Boling shook hands and said goodbye, which is beneficial to the Li family in Hedong and not harmful.

But now the battle near Zhangjiabao has long been over, there is no news from Hedong, what is Li Xu doing all the way to the front line to transport grain?

Could it be that he has other plans that he hasn't let people know? Thinking of this, Shizi Jiancheng felt more and more that Li Xu's Chinese army tent seemed to be hiding countless mysteries, which were unfavorable to him almost everywhere.

Barely suppressed the turmoil in his heart, ate a few green plums, and then he inadvertently asked,

"Didn't you divide a lot of grain, grass and baggage the day before yesterday? Why do you still have to send food from Boling to the front. Once it is sent, but there is no war to fight, this back-and-forth, the consumption will be great! ”

"The son of the world doesn't know anything!" Zhang Jiang had long expected that Li Jiancheng would have such a question, and he didn't want him to have too much misunderstanding in his heart, so he arched his hand and explained with a smile: "A few days ago, the more than 100,000 captives had nowhere to stay, and the general of my family was afraid that they would cause trouble near the Great Wall, so they were all handed over to Wang Xuba and Guo Fang to escort to Suotoushui. Those guys are not of my race, but they are also a life, and we can't watch them starve to death. Therefore, he squeezed out some grain from the treasury and transported it all the way to the rescue. ”

"Your general is kind-hearted!" Luo Yi shrugged his shoulders and was a little dissatisfied with Li Xu's approach.

"If you know that he is not of my race, why should you care whether he lives or dies? If you don't dig a pit under the Great Wall and bury them alive, it's already a grace to them, and you give them food to hang their lives, aren't you afraid that you will raise a bunch of wolf cubs and suffer from them in the end? ”

"The general of my family once said that how wide a person's heart is, how wide a place can be managed!" Zhang Jiang glanced at Li and Luo, and continued to add with a smile.

"After all, it is 100,000 living beings, and if they are left to fend for themselves, I am afraid that it will hurt the peace of the heavens. The grassland people have their own way of survival, as long as they help to give them gruel in this summer, in the autumn, the cattle and sheep can naturally catch the autumn fat, and the wool and leather goods will also be continuously transported back to the Central Plains! Listening to Zhang Jiang's words, Li Jiancheng was moved.

There are two main reasons why he looks at the Boling Army everywhere today. One is that the merger of the two Li is still unresolved, which always makes people worry about their hearts.

Second, because of Luo Yi's sudden annexation, Li Xu's importance to him has invisibly decreased several times.

The left army in Hedong has always lacked a hundred famous generals who can live in the hearts of the army, and Li Jiancheng has always been fond of Li Xu.

And Luo Yi's fame and ability to use troops are only bigger than Li Xu, not smaller than Li Xu. In other words, even if Xuzi is not included in the account now, Li Jiancheng feels that with Luo Yi in hand, the generals under his younger brother are no longer afraid.

"How big a man's heart is, how wide he can run a place." chewing Zhang Jiang's words repeatedly, the resentment in Li Jiancheng's heart slowly began to melt.

He knew that he would not be satisfied with being a prince of harvest, and he looked forward to establishing a career that surpassed his father, so that people could finally understand that he, the son and prince, was not a wreck who could only gain a foothold by relying on his father's shadow, but a hero who could carry forward the Li family and the Tang Wang family.

In order to achieve the goal in his heart, he must put himself in the right position. Don't care about those trivial details, so that more heroes like Li Xu and Luo Yi are willing to serve themselves.

Next, Zhang Jiang's explanation, Li Jiancheng couldn't listen to it, and there was no need to listen to it anymore. It is enough to believe in Li Xu and treat people with sincerity as before.

As for Luo Yi and Zhang Jiang's discussion about the Hu people on the plug, it was all like a spring breeze, he could hear the voice, but he didn't notice anything.

"I heard that the thirteen tribes of the Xia tribe once elected your general as the khan. Now you have driven more than 100,000 people of all ethnic groups to settle near Suotoushui, wouldn't you rob the grassland of the Xi tribe? Once the two sides clash, how can the general deal with himself? Luo Yi didn't notice that Li Jiancheng had been distracted, and discussed with Zhang Jiang the possibility of successfully resettling the prisoners.

And among the more than 100,000 captives, there were people of all races, ranging in age, men and women, old and young. Once they clashed with each other, would General Wang be able to suppress the little soldiers and horses he had? Zhang Jiang and the others have been discussing this matter almost every day in the past three days, and they have already made up their minds about it.

After thinking about it, he responded in a low voice,

"Suotoushui is still hundreds of miles away from the traditional pastures of the Xi people. That grassland originally belonged to a group of Xi people, and later the group of Suotou Xi was exterminated by the Turks, and the two sides of the Suotou River became the territory of Ashina Choyu. Gu Toru took over the land from Choyu and ran it for several more years, migrating to dozens of Turkic tribes. This time, General Wang escorted the captives to Suotoushui, one of the goals of which was to seize pastures from the Turkic tribes. Therefore, the first conflict will definitely not be with the tribes of the Xia, but with the Turks who have been greatly damaged after the defeat. Instead, those people will become a surprise army under the secret ambush of the general, who can catch the Turks by surprise! Bowing his head and taking a sip of tea, he continued: "As for the prisoners, General Luo can rest assured. Until there is no way to guarantee that they will survive, they will definitely have to huddle together. When the threat of the Turks goes, they should intermarry, and they should have children, and it will be difficult to separate from each other! ”

"There's some truth to that, too!" Luo Yi was familiar with grassland affairs, and after a little consideration, he understood that what Zhang Jiang said was not wishful thinking.

"But in case these 100,000 people condense into a rope, it is also a behemoth. At the end of the day, who can guarantee that they will not become the second Turk? ”

"If they are driven to the grassland and left unchecked, within three years, someone will inevitably come forward to fill the void left by Ashina Gutoru. But if they were controlled from the beginning, these people would not have become a major problem in the Central Plains. My general said that you can't imagine that there are no people on the grassland, and only by taking the initiative can you ensure that the eastern counties will be safe for a hundred years! Zhang Jiang smiled and replied with some pride.

Li Xu's original words are actually that no one can guarantee that there will be no other Ashina bone Toru on the grassland.

So instead of leaving the opportunity to the next one who takes advantage of the chaos, it is better to be the next Great Khan yourself.

At least it is much safer to keep Dong Saizhuhu under his own command than in the hands of the native-born Hu people.

In the eyes of Zhang Jiang and others, running Dongsai well is equivalent to doubling the living space of the six counties in Hebei.

In the future, if there is an opportunity, the Boling army can not only point to the south, but also wave the army to the north. No matter whether you advance or retreat, there is unlimited room for development.

Of course, the secrets between these core generals of Boling, Zhang Jiang will not reveal them to anyone who has nothing to do.

All he wanted to do now was to dispel Li Jiancheng's doubts about Boling and buy more time for his general's development plan.

In the short term, the Boling Army, which had just finished a tough battle, did not have the ability to compete with the Li family in Hedong for the world.

But after running Dongsai well, with the endless supply of war horses outside the Sai and the wealth of the six counties, who in the world can still hold the Boling army Feng Sakura?

"Hmm!" After listening to Zhang Jiang's words, Luo Yi stroked his beard lightly. Li Zhongjian's actions were definitely not just out of mercy to the captives.

He must have had something else in mind. And the plan is very long-term, far beyond what you can see.

But do you want to remind Li Jiancheng of the facts? Luo Yi weighed it several times in his heart, and decided to hide the secret.

The death of the Chungmu general's infantry awakened the promise of his youth, and the iron lance that stood on the top of the Great Wall prompted him to no longer hesitate and make up his mind to hand over the tiger horseman.

But after giving up the blade of fighting for the world, Luo Yi had to think about his future. Li Jiancheng's promise is only one of his guarantees.

But commitment is a thing that only works for those who firmly believe in promises, and it is almost as thin as a piece of waste paper in the face of tangible and visible benefits.

Instead of completely entrusting the safety of himself and his family to Li Jiancheng, it is better to leave another way back and see how the relationship between the Li family and Li Xu in Hedong develops.

At least Luo Yi can be sure that hiding behind Li Xu will not cause others to trouble him first. Whether it is Mrs. Li or Mrs. Li's successor, no one will have time to move Youzhou until the big tail of Li Xu is solved.
