Chapter Forty-Four: In the Winter Snow Wind

readx;?? There is a saying among the Chinese that is very interesting:

A wise man will make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and a fool will also gain a thousand thoughts. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This sentence illustrates a situation, that is, when the weather is getting colder, Li Zuoche, who returned to Wang Jiancheng in North Korea to deal with affairs, found that he and Chen Ping ignored a problem, that is, the clothes that should have been allocated to those Qianshou for the winter at a low price were very insufficient.

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to put it another way, that is, the clothes ordered according to the leather jacket or sweater order made by Zhang Jiashi did not expect this situation to happen.

After knowing this, Chen Ping was silent for a long time before he looked bitterly at Xiao He and the others sitting in front of him: "Let's go see the adults." ”

"You're crazy, if the adults knew about it, you idiot wouldn't be able to eat and walk around. Xiao He's eyes widened, looking at this "main culprit" in disbelief, although he didn't think that Chen Ping's arrangement in this matter was negligent, but there was one point, that is, Zhang Jiashi should not know that they were "secretly operating", rashly "confessing" the facts, not to mention Chen Ping, even he did not have the slightest benefit.

"What else can we do other than confess to adults?" Sun Po on the side shook his head angrily, he also knew that he had neglected this. But after thinking about it carefully, knowing that Zhang Jiashi still holds the power of procurement in this regard, it is simply impossible for them to completely hide Zhang Jiashi under this arrangement.

Sun Po knew very well that without Zhang Jiashi's signature, they really had no way to take such semi-military materials. Unless they pay their own money to buy this amount of materials from the private sector.

Of course, this is impossible, not that they are unwilling to do such "stupid things", but that it is impossible for them to do this with their financial resources alone.

Under Zhang Jiashi's relaxed conditions, although they also have some commercial sources of income, compared with Zhang Jiashi's boss, it is a bit exaggerated to say that fireflies are better than Qiuyue, but this comparison is more in line with the facts.

Sun Po is very clear that in his understanding of General Zuo's Mansion and Zhang Jiashi this month, he knows very well that Zhang Jiashi's style of doing things is relatively relaxed, as long as you don't do something that violates the bottom line, he won't care about you so much.

But there are some things that are not something that they can easily surpass as civil ministers and military generals, just like creating more income, Zhang Jiashi can be said to be unprecedented, if it is really true, not to mention that LΓΌ Buwei, the legendary wealthy businessman and prime minister of Great Qin, is difficult to compare with Zhang Jiashi.

As the three major outputs that are no less than gold and copper coins, Zhang Jiashi accounts for the vast majority of the profits.

Zhang Jiashi is not the kind of person who is insatiable, and if these three major outputs were not mainly allocated to Xiangcheng and then used as financial expenditures, the finances of Liaodong County would have gone bankrupt long ago.

Therefore, in terms of financial matters, Chen Ping is very clear that if these things continue to be hidden from Zhang Jiashi, once they break out, the problem will be even bigger.

As a result, after pondering for a long time, Chen Ping said a sentence: "Everyone, which of you is willing to accompany Ping to the adult's mansion?"

As a result, Sun Po, Xiao He, Wang Ling and others all looked directly at other places,

Chen Ping, who saw this scene, didn't say anything, but lamented something, and wrote something on a stack of papers.

......

That night, in Zhang Jiashi's study, Zhang Jiashi looked at Chen Ping, who had been lowering his head, and then glanced at what he had already read.

With such a large population migration, he didn't know at all, saying that Zhang Jiashi was not angry, it was impossible.

But it is clear that Chen Ping is more for his good after Zhang Jiashi, and he can only be silent for a period of time, and then say a sentence: "Don't take it as an example, the money you want can be approved by Zhang, but this matter can not be repeated, if the two princesses know about such a thing, and Zhang is indifferent, I'm afraid it will ......"

Of course, Chen Ping could think of what Zhang Jiashi meant by what he didn't finish. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and gently wiped the fine sweat that broke out of his forehead.

This is indeed unreasonable for them. In any case, Zhang Jiashi is their boss, and if they don't think about the consequences of doing so because of what they scruple about, they are indeed guilty of taboos.

Fortunately, Zhang Jiashi was unwilling to pursue anything in this regard, otherwise Chen Ping would at least be scolded by Zhang Jiashi, which would be a trivial matter.

After solving this problem and getting a letter of order stamped by Zhang Jiashi, Zhang Jiashi remembered something.

He looked at Chen Ping, who was about to leave, and asked curiously, "Sima Chen, how many people did you bring this time?"

Chen Ping said after a while: "Back to my lord, according to Lord Li's reply, there are about 1670,000 people. ”

Zhang Jiashi, who heard this, directly squirted out a mouthful of water, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and said in surprise: "What, so many people ???"

Chen Ping's face turned slightly pale and nodded slightly.

"It's really a problem. Zhang Jiashi muttered this, but he was thinking about another problem in his heart, that is, in the current situation, even if he increased the production of leather clothes and robes, it would not be able to solve the problem.

The output can be increased by manpower, but Zhang Jiashi is very clear that in this case, the supply of raw materials for the corresponding industries in Liaodong County cannot be sufficient.

After looking at the sky outside, Zhang Jiashi said a sentence: "You have summoned all these people to the county guard's mansion." ”

After Zhang Jiashi finished saying this, he wrote the names of more than a dozen people directly on a piece of rough white paper......

......

As Zhang Jiashi predicted, with a few small family-run pastures, the corresponding number of sheep simply cannot meet the huge gap in demand.

According to the statistics of Xiao He and his arithmetic talents, at least 200,000 sheep are needed to barely fill the gap.

The number of sheep on these farms that have been consolidated and run by some small families is less than 50,000.

Removing the necessary breeding sheep and ewes, the number will only be even less.

This problem simply cannot be filled by trading, after all, either the pastures in the Great Qin Empire cannot save the near fire, or there is no hope at all.

In this case, Zhang Jiashi had to change his thinking, that is, since there is a considerable shortage of raw materials in this area, then, the wool comes from the sheep, and he has a "neighbor" who is a large livestock breeder.

That's right, Zhang Jiashi's opportunity to solve the problem was in the Donghu people in the north of the Liaodong region.

Zhang Jiashi, who thought of this question, on the list he wrote to Chen Ping at that time, was basically an active cavalry officer, and he was also a Qin army officer at least two or five hundred main ranks.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Before and after the Battle of the Great Wall in June last year, Zhang Jiashi almost wiped out the cavalry units under his command, including more than 10,000 people who were originally cavalry from Liaodong County.

After the Battle of the Great Wall, there were less than 3,000 knights left, which can be described as a great loss of vitality.

In order to rebuild the knight army, it took Zhang Jiashi more than a whole year to build a relatively rough framework again.

Before the beginning of the year, Zhang Jiashi once again divided the knight troops, and a lieutenant of the garrison unit had a knight of 500 people under his command, and the others were either infantry or light charioters.

And a group of 10,000 reorganized knights once again became the cavalry unit concentrated by Zhang Jiashi.

Among them, some of them are newly recruited rookie rookies, but more are knights recruited by Zhang Jiashi last year and have been trained for a period of time.

Although it is said that a very small number of these knights have experienced the combat operations of the Qin army in the Korean region, and they have not achieved anything. However, Zhang Jiashi was confident that this cavalry unit would one day become the dominant force on the battlefield.

Among the 10,000 knights, Zhang Jiashi did not insist too much on the need to know how to ride and shoot, and only 6,000 of the knights were relatively skilled cavalry archers, and the rest were light cavalry equipped with corresponding equipment by Zhang Jiashi.

What could a light cavalry lacking a double shoe, as well as a Takahashi saddle, do?

In this regard, Zhang Jiashi did not expect the other party to be able to attack the tight infantry formation, such a thing was no different from looking for death.

On the contrary, the light cavalry troops, which only need to be equipped with spears and arc-shaped knives, are not afraid of close combat with the nomads, after all, in terms of weapons, the light cavalry with its own corresponding advantages will not have much problem dealing with these Donghu people.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi knew very well that if he really wanted to attack Donghu again, this 10,000 knights alone would not be enough to solve the corresponding problems.

After all, they are not there to kill, but to plunder.

Therefore, in the end, Zhang Jiashi deliberately deployed 1,000 crossbow chariots and 2,000 other transport vehicles to cooperate with the operation.

If it were a regular battle, Zhang Jiashi would not have arranged it like this. After all, he is facing his old opponent this time.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

This time to find trouble with the Donghu people who were mired in the quagmire of civil war, Zhang Jiashi chose Su Teng as the commander of the attack force. And as the governor of the northern district of the Great Wall region, Su Teng is also capable of this position.

In a sense, Zhang Jiashi's subordinates in commanding cavalry troops are really difficult to find a commander like Su Teng.

As for the 13,000 men who attacked, as well as more than 2,000 corresponding personnel, including the officers and men of the guard, Zhang Jiashi divided them into four lieutenants to take charge of the command.

Su Teng concurrently served as the commander of the first knight formation, commanding four thousand knights, and the commander of the second knight formation.

Naturally, Zhang Jiashi did not forget the situation of Duo Bu in June last year, but after discussion and careful consideration, Duo Bu, who had become good at riding and was more familiar with the situation in an area north of the Great Wall, became a more suitable candidate for Zhang Jiashi. Of course, Zhang Jiashi also knows that Tu Bu is not just a person now, there is also a heroic girl by his side......

Or is the tigress more straightforward......

Well, Zhang Jiashi decided to ignore Wu Ji, the tigress in the mouth of Tu Bu, anyway, the strength of the other party is here, and Zhang Jiashi is also happy that this girl has taken a close look at the big boss of Tu Bu.

The last candidate for lieutenant, Zhang Jiashi, is the nephew of Li Shang, a Gaoyang drunkard who is now one of the diplomats of General Zuo's Mansion. However, considering that the prestige of Li Shiqi's nephew Li Shang, who is now idle to death, is not high, Zhang Jiashi arranged An Zun, who is relatively old and has served as the 500 lord of Liaodong County for many years and has recently been promoted to 2500 lords, to serve as a deputy lieutenant under his command.

Maybe Li Shang will be a little dissatisfied in his heart, but Zhang Jiashi doesn't need to worry about anything, after all, Li Shiqi should be very aware of the reason for Zhang Jiashi's arrangement and persuade his nephew.

As for the arrangement of the convoy, Zhang Jiashi let Xiahou Ying be in charge of leading, as for the military division of the attack force, Zhang Jiashi originally wanted Zhang Cang, but Zhang Cang finally let Sun Po serve on the grounds that he was not proficient in military affairs.

As for whether Sun Po was familiar with the military situation, Zhang Jiashi did not have much understanding. However, under the recommendation of Chen Ping, Xiao He, and Zhang Cang, Zhang Jiashi, who knew that he could not do without Chen Ping's assistance for the time being, had no choice but to test the military strength of this staff member who was not as outstanding as others in government affairs.

......

As for the arrangement of the attack troops, Zhang Jiashi was not willing to interfere too much, but only mentioned three points that he thought were more important.

The first point: this operation is not mainly to slaughter the Donghu people and destroy the war potential of the other side, but to plunder the corresponding livestock as the task. After all, the herding of the Donghu people is also quite mixed, and Zhang Jiashi naturally can't let these people plunder the sheep alone.

Driving sheep is driving, but driving horses and cattle is not driving? Zhang Jiashi took a very relaxed view of this matter.

The second point: the troops did not need to pursue after driving away the Donghu guards stationed in the camp unless necessary.

Zhang Jiashi knew that this kind of action was not an assault operation like in June last year, which directly used massacres to reduce the population base of the Donghu people and destroy the enemy's war potential. What Zhang Jiashi needs is a flock of sheep, an animal, not a dead person.

In this case, there are some things that Zhang Jiashi does not need to think that he needs to give Zabehe more help, after all, the pastures near the Great Wall area can be said to be another sphere of influence of the Donghu king Suger. If Zabehe is allowed to take advantage of this opportunity to defeat Suger, Zhang Jiashi can be said to have lifted a stone to shoot himself in the foot.

Let the Donghu people lose their last bit of breath in the internal friction, no matter in any aspect, it is a good thing for Zhang Jiashi.

Not to mention, if Zhang Jiashi didn't have time to pay attention to the future attack on Donghu by Maodun, Zhang Jiashi would be looking forward to what Maodun, who couldn't get anything but the grassland, would look like.

On the last point, Zhang Jiashi did not say it explicitly when the troops went out, after all, this kind of thing is not good to say.

That is, in Zhang Jiashi's imagination, since it was to attack the camp of the Donghu people and plunder the livestock. Maybe there's a chance you'll get something unexpected.

For example, the leather jackets of the Donghu people, the more than 2,000 carriages in addition to transporting materials and military supplies, are more to pull these things back.

After leaving the exit and entering the grassland full of corpses, Su Teng, who had started to spend a shallow river beach and camped and rested the night, saw a sentence on this note, and couldn't help but be stunned for a long time.

As a military advisor, Zhang Cang was also stunned after taking a look at this note.

As the note was passed to everyone's hands one after another, everyone who read the words of this note was stunned.

What is written on it?

Just one sentence: "If you see the corresponding leather jacket or leather coat or something, whether the original owner of the other party is dead or not, get it as much as possible." ”

Zhang Jiashi wrote this sentence easily, but he didn't have such a thick skin to say it in front of more than 10,000 people.

Su Teng, who was frowning at the end, nodded with deep sympathy after hearing the words muttered by Zhang Cang in a low voice.

And this sentence muttered by Zhang Cang seems to be accompanied by an anonymous record without the author's name in later generations, which records:

"In the words of the adults themselves, this food is too ugly. No wonder adults really can't speak. ”

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

At this time, looking at Yu Ji in front of him, as well as the other wives and concubines who left for some reason, Zhang Jiashi smiled, and Yu Ji's face turned slightly red and gave her husband a white look: "Husband, don't laugh like this, okay?"

Zhang Jiashi, who was about to say something, sneezed coldly.

Zhang Jiashi, who gently wiped the tip of his nose with his fingers, muttered a sentence: "Meow a mi, who is talking about me???"

Yu Miaoyi, who heard this, looked at Zhang Jiashi in puzzlement. But as Zhang Jiashi walked towards her gently, Yu Miaoyi, who couldn't help but bow her head, gradually felt Zhang Jiashi's breath, and got closer and closer to her.

And the words she heard were: "Sister Miaoyi, I've suffered you for so many years." ”

Yu Miaoyi, who heard this, didn't say anything yet, but felt that her body was picked up by Zhang Jiashi with both hands.

"Ah......h

And with Zhang Jiashi walking towards his room step by step, Yu Miaoyi, this poppy beauty that has been passed down through the ages, finally could not escape Zhang Jiashi's wolf claws......

The white wolf passing by glanced at Zhang Jiashi and Yu Miaoyi, who gradually disappeared behind the screen, and tilted his head suspiciously, as if thinking about whether it should do something.

And a beautiful middle-aged woman appeared next to the white wolf: "Don't think about it, there are some things that you should think about yourself, my baby." ”

Hearing his mother's words, the white wolf's eyes flashed with a glint of light......
