Chapter Ninety-One: The Trade Route Is Broken
"Do you have a plan?"
"Now it's naturally not a good strategy, I don't have the experience of leading troops to fight, I still don't understand many things, the Hu people are the world on horseback, there is no fixed place, like a wind to gather to fight, retreat and dissipate in the grassland, this is their advantage, but this also has a disadvantage, that is, once they can't contact the various tribes, they can't form a huge army, the Hu tribe is different from the Dongwen country, but although some people advocate everything, but each tribe is actually equivalent to the emperor of the soil, These are all things that we can take advantage of. ”
After Zhao Yunling finished speaking, he glanced at Rong Yan: "But I don't know the situation yet, so I won't know until I get there." ”
Rong Yan nodded: "What you said is right, I have thought about these things before, but how difficult is it to go deep into the Hu people and cut off the connection between the Hu people?" ”
"I'm afraid Dongwenguo will have a lot of problems, let's talk about it when we get there."
"It's fine."
After talking for a while, they both went back, and continued to hurry early the next morning, at the same time, Zhao Yunling had already sent news to Zhang Wenqiao, before Zhang Wenweak stayed in the north to run a lychee business, and later added the matter of the ranch, he had been staying in the north, this time attacking the Hu people, Zhang Wenqiao had to keep in touch with Tianyuan Town.
But within two days, the army was still on the way, and Zhao Yunling received a letter from Zhang Wenqiao.
She didn't say anything for a long time after reading it.
Rong Yan happened to come to her, and when he saw her like this, he asked, "What's wrong?" What happened? ”
Zhao Yunling put the letter on the table, supported his head with one hand, and waited for Rong Yan to take the new start to read before he said: "Although I already had a guess when the merchants from the Western Regions brought me a letter before, but just now Zhang Wenqiao wrote to me, and our business with the Western Regions was completely cut off, and there was a batch of goods that were sent to the Western Regions with a deposit, but now the road is blocked, not only can the silver not be returned, but those people don't know whether they are alive or dead." ”
Rong Yan frowned: "Those people are all from my Dongwen Kingdom?" ”
"Half of them are merchants from the Western Regions, and half of them are Fuze who escorted the goods to collect money by the way, and now I just hope that they are on the Western Regions side, not robbed by the Hu people on the way." Zhao Yunling sighed.
Rong Yan put it away after reading the letter, and then looked at Zhao Yunling: "Now that the Hu people are outside the pass, I think I can't inquire about the situation over there for the time being, but we can reach the border pass tomorrow, and then we will think of a way, in fact, if we can contact the countries of the Western Regions at this time, it will also be beneficial to us." ”
"Hu people are brave, the countries of the Western Regions have always been a bystander, they never care what they do, is it difficult to dare to make a move?" Zhao Yunling asked rhetorically.
She had already learned a lot when she was doing business before, and she had spoken out with the army recently, and she also deliberately learned a lot, looking for Rong Yan or the video below to have a lot of problems, and she also knew about the big placement.
Although the Hu people are scattered, there is still one person who can be in charge, but the countries of the Western Regions are completely scattered small countries, and they don't want to be in the pot, and it is impossible to unite, so they are scattered and sandy, and the Hu people also belong to the basic well water and do not violate the river water, and trade with the Dongwen country, and also have some dealings with the Hu people, but they never participate in the affairs of the two countries.
"Although the people of the Western Regions don't dare to do anything, if they can get in touch, the Western Regions countries will also have some complaints about the Hu people, and it will be more convenient for Yu Wei to have a nightmare when the time comes."
Zhao Yunling was silent, stared at Rong Yan for a moment, and then said: "Don't talk about this matter for the time being, it's just that now the trade route with the Western Regions is cut off, and I don't know when it will be restored, as for the countries of the Western Regions in this matter, it probably won't be of much use, you don't have to think so much about it, now it's better to deal with the Hu people first, and when the Hu people solve it, there will naturally be no problem with the road to the Western Regions." ”
Rong Yan thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely let this war end soon, save the people from suffering, and let your business with the Western Regions resume as soon as possible." ”
"Well, I can keep these words in my heart, and if you delay it again and again, I will be able to ask you for compensation."
Zhao Yunling smiled and threw away all the things just now, Rong Yan smiled, knowing that she was just forcing a smile now.
At the beginning, the Zhao family was almost ruined, she ran the business in a short period of time, and you can imagine how much she suffered, he almost watched it from the beginning, he hit a wall wherever he went at the beginning, no matter what he had to do, he didn't even have servants at home, and even the manpower needed to do business was to bring back the bandits who intercepted and killed her.
Now because of this incident, her trade with the countries of the Western Regions was cut off instantly, and she had to bear the goods and people that were folded in, and the goods were fine, if those people were folded in, she would have to face more later.
"If you believe me."
"Now that you haven't done anything to disappoint me, I naturally believe you." Soaring Chinese
After Zhao Yunling finished speaking, he said: "Okay, we have to march early tomorrow morning, you better go and rest first, I'm fine, I won't be watched by a fragile person who needs someone if a trade route is temporarily cut off." ”
She will only try her best to restore this path or find another way, how can people survive if they are so fragile?
In the afternoon of the next day, when he finally arrived at the front line, the general who was guarding here heard that Rong Yan was coming with a large army, so he hurriedly came to the mirror, because the Hu army was outside the pass, and they were all guarding here during this time, camping in the big tent, and the general knelt down as soon as he came in: "The Third Highness can be regarded as coming!" ”
The several lieutenants who followed the general also had red eyes, Zhao Yunling was beside Rong Yan, and found that these people were all injured, they should have been fighting on the battlefield recently, she pursed her lips and frowned.
Rong Yan asked them to get up and sit down before asking how the battle was going on here.
The general at the head is called Zhang Yuan, listening to Rong Yan's question, the dignified seven-foot man, the general guarding the border pass is also red-eyed: "I don't know at three o'clock, we can only defend now, the Hu people are menacing and the rear is sufficient, and we are consuming like this, on the other hand, on our side, because the grain and grass have not been replenished for the time being, so the morale of the army is not stable, although it has been defended every time, but the soldiers have too many casualties." ”
Rong Yan frowned when he heard this: "Although the Hu people are brave, but my Dongwen soldiers are not people who have not experienced the battlefield, I have heard of General Zhang Yuan's prestige, but now he is so passive?" ”
Zhang Yuan lowered his head in shame.
Rong Yan frowned, Zhao Yunling was now dressed in men's clothes beside Rong Yan, seeing that the big tent was silent, he couldn't help but ask: "General Zhang just said that the grain and grass were not made up in time?" But the Hu people have enough food and grass? ”
Zhang Yun heard the voice and then noticed the person standing next to Rong Yan, although the man was dressed up, but Zhang Yuan had seen countless people, and he quickly saw through it, he frowned: "This is ......"
"This time, His Royal Highness led the troops to support, and I was in charge of the grain and grass, so I heard General Zhang just say that the grain and grass that should have come were not injured, so I interjected and asked." Zhao Yunling said.
Zhao Yuan frowned, he couldn't figure out how this heavy responsibility of grain and grass could fall into the hands of a woman, but looking at this woman by the side of the Third Highness, although her appearance was charming, there was a confident and heroic spirit between Meiyu, which seemed to be a little convincing, so he told him all about the situation here.
When Zhao Yunling heard this, he frowned: "I still have to think about this matter, but now that I am responsible for solving the matter of grain and grass, there will be no more problems, General Zhang rest assured, but I still have one more question, General Zhang, do you know that the Hu people have enough food and grass?" You and I both know that the Hu people are good at fighting quick battles, listen to what you mean, is the Hu people already consumed with you? ”
"Yes." Zhang Yuan nodded without hesitation.
Zhao Yunling remembered the letter sent by the merchants of the Western Regions before, saying that the Hu people had been preparing for this matter for several months, and they thought that the problem of grain and grass had also been solved, so now they had the confidence and the consumption of the Eastern Literature.
She turned her head to look at Rong Yan, and saw the worry in the other party's eyes, Zhao Yunling didn't speak, nodded at Zhao Yuan and stopped talking.
Rong Yan asked about some other battle situations, and after General Zhang and his party left, Zhao Yunling looked at Rong Yan: "I'm afraid this time it's not that simple, the Hu people have been preparing for several months, the grain and grass are sufficient, and the Hu people have already arrived in Tianyuan Town before, no matter how you think about it, this is not something that can be prepared in just a few months as the letter says, I think the Hu people have been preparing for a long time." ”
"This matter, I'm afraid it's a little troublesome, the Hu people are already brave, if you add that there is enough food and grass to worry about, I think this battle will be very difficult." Rong Yan said.
His eyes were full of worry, Zhao Yunling glanced outside the tent, and suddenly said, "Rong Yan, let's go out and have a look, look at the soldiers guarding the city." ”
"Okay." Rong Yan also has this intention.
The two went outside together, looking to the side as they walked, and after a while, Rong Yan's brows furrowed tightly, and Zhao Yunling said, "Have you found a problem?" ”
Rong Yan didn't speak, but his face was not very good-looking.
Zhao Yunling glanced into the distance: "These are the soldiers who originally defended the city, but you see the soldiers we brought from the capital in the distance, which are completely different from the soldiers who guarded the frontier, they look soft, I have already found out when I was on the road, these soldiers we brought have no contact with the Hu people at all, and many of them are newly recruited recruits, negligent in training, if they really go to the battlefield, I am afraid that the problem is even greater." ”
Rong Yan glanced at the distance and said: "Now that the Hu people are well prepared, our soldiers belong to drills, and if they are injured on the battlefield, they will naturally not be able to withstand the Hu people who grew up on horseback, and I am afraid that it will be another tragedy when the time comes." ”
"Yes......" Zhao Yunling sighed.
It's just that although she can see these problems, she doesn't know much about the things of marching and fighting, she used to work as a team of a few people at most, but this matter is related to Dongwenguo and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, she doesn't dare to say it lightly.
