The soldiers and horses have not moved, the intelligence first, and the grain and grass second, which is the magic weapon for victory.

It didn't take long for Old Ghost Li to come in a hurry, during this long journey, the already thin Old Ghost Li became more and more emaciated, looking at the skin and bones, a gust of wind could blow it down, but a pair of eyes were exceptionally bright and sharp, Qin Huaidao's eyes flashed a touch of unbearability, and he said with concern: "Uncle Old Ghost, does it matter if you want your body?" ”

"It's been a lot better in the past two days, thank you King Han for your concern." Old Ghost Li was respectful and did not dare to be courteous.

Qin Huaidao asked bluntly, "Can you contact Xue Rengui from Moon Bow City?" ”

"It's hard to say, the road is far away, I'm not familiar with it, and I'll try it with all my might." Old Ghost Li replied.

Flying pigeons are not flying randomly, they can go wherever they want, they can only go back and forth at fixed stations, and they have to pass the news from station to station, Qin Huaidao also knows this truth, and said: "The people in the Flying Eagle Division are obedient, right?" ”

After the defeat of Tubo, the Flying Eagle Division was under the command of Li Laogui, and Li Laogui hurriedly said: "They are very obedient, and Lao Yu suggested sending a team north as soon as possible to build intelligence sites along the way to facilitate the transmission of news in the future." ”

"Accurate!" Qin Huaidao didn't expect Old Ghost Li to think of it with himself, and agreed with satisfaction.

After telling a few details, Old Ghost Li left in a hurry, Qin Huaidao ate something and lay down, hurried to the Wild Wolf Valley, killed the enemy, and then hurried back, he didn't close his eyes for two days and one night, he was too tired.

I slept until the next afternoon.

The sunlight poured in through the window and fell tightly on the ground, quiet and peaceful.

Qin Huaidao was woken up by a sound, got up to change his clothes, full of energy, and when he went out, he saw that it was Luo Wu, and asked curiously, "Is something wrong?" ”

"Uncle, the local people asked to go out of the city to plant wheat, and now is the sowing season, and they are worried that someone will take the opportunity to escape and leak the situation here, so they didn't let it, so I came here to ask for instructions."

When Qin Huaidao heard this, he thought about it and said: "Let them go, the people's life is not easy, if they don't plant, they won't be able to get it, and they won't survive, since they have taken it, they have to govern it as their own territory, but there should be no less precautions, notify Senior Niu and let him take people to keep an eye on it." ”

Luo Wu agreed, and hurriedly arranged for someone to pass the order.

"Get something to eat and send it to the council chamber." Qin Huaidao dropped a sentence and hurried to the third floor, came to the large round table in the conference hall, spread out the map and thought about it while reading.

A cool breeze blew, taking away the stuffiness from the room.

Qin Huaidao came to the balcony outside, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, his thoughts were flying.

High in the blue sky, a mountain eagle is circling, a large number of people at the gate of the city lined up to leave in an orderly manner, one by one to be checked, the people who really go out to work will naturally not be embarrassed, but if someone carries a knife or something like that, the appearance will be suspicious.

The dilapidated houses are cooking smoke birds and birds, are preparing dinner for the day, the streets and alleys look a little deserted, not even a child who is active by nature is not seen, just occupied, it is not easy to gain the trust of the locals, but if the assimilation is successful, the people will return to their hearts, and the history of the Han people will leave a strong stroke.

"Uncle?" Luo Wu walked up.

"Send someone to tell Master Niu that since he stays and garrisons, he must have a good relationship with the local people, there are three tricks, one, three years of tax exemption, no grain levied, not a penny of silver, reduce the burden of the people, the people taste the sweetness, know our good, will not make trouble again, and even alienate the Tocharian Kingdom."

Luo Wu hurriedly wrote it down.

Qin Huaidao looked at the city below and continued: "Second, the army and the people are close to each other, and the army left behind can marry the locals, but they must be treated as wives, but they must not be forced, the robbers will be decided, the brothers should have a home all the way over, as long as the army and the people are a family, the people can be completely assured." ”

"This method is good, and the brothers will be happy to know it." Luo Wu said with a smile.

Qin Huaidao continued: "Third, let the army help the people do what they can, such as picking up water, sweeping the floor, repairing houses, etc., so that the people know our goodwill, and the army left behind is divided into two, the old, weak, and disabled are relegated to the second line, responsible for reclaiming barren mountains and farming, striving for self-sufficiency, and the rest are standing armies." ”

The military system of the Tang Dynasty is that everyone goes to farm, trains in their spare time, and most of their combat effectiveness has long been lost, Qin Huaidao plans to follow the path of the agricultural reclamation army in the future, and those who have no combat effectiveness will go to the heavy land, and the others will continue to be soldiers.

Luo Wu pondered carefully, and immediately understood the subtlety, and exclaimed: "Uncle, this method is wonderful, relying on the collection of grain to raise troops is not a long-term solution, the mountains are high and the road is far away, and it is troublesome to transport it from other places, and it will increase the burden, self-sufficiency is good, and the soldiers who have retreated to the second line have something to do, so that they will not be idle and panic, there is no way to live, and they can also ensure combat effectiveness, which is much stronger than the government military system." ”

"The last one, it is not allowed to take a stitch from the people, everything must be bought, respect the customs and habits of the locals, as for the governance matters, wait for the civil officials to arrive and then decide, by the way, copy a few points, send someone to send a copy to Luo Zhang, and then take the city will be followed, the city is ours, we must treat the local people well, we are not bandits, we will leave after robbing, and we can have long-term peace and stability." Qin Huaidao admonished.

"Obey!" Luo Wu solemnly agreed and hurriedly went to write.

After writing it, take it to Qin Huaidao to see to make sure that there are no mistakes or omissions, and then find someone to transcribe some, Qin Huaidao signed, stamped the seal of the King of Han and sent someone out.

By the time this is done, it will be dark.

Qin Huaidao ate something to check the construction of weapons, there were few people, some slow, but the problem was not big, and he went out of the city to the camp of the Duoji army to understand the situation, and saw that the soldiers were having dinner, the food was good, a big pot of meat, some leafy vegetables were put in it, and there were cakes made with the help of the local people.

When the soldiers saw Qin Huaidao coming, they all got up to greet him.

From Tubo all the way here, Qin Huaidao has set an example to help everyone, taught everyone the basic skills of survival in the wild, and even sang songs to cheer everyone up, cheering everyone up, people's hearts are flesh and blood.

It can be said that Qin Huaidao won the loyalty of this Tubo army with his sincerity and personal charm.

"See King Han!" Dorjee hurried over with his officers.

"Just walk around, it's okay, how are you here?" Qin Huaidao asked.

"Everything is fine, there is food and drink, and the body is almost recovered."

"That's good, it's okay to send troops tomorrow, right?" Qin Huaidao asked.

"No problem, the soldiers can't wait to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions." Dorjee hurriedly said.

After chatting for a while, Qin Huaidao left under the protection of the guard regiment.

Dorjee Gong sent him out of the camp and left with his eyes on it.

After the people walked away, an officer whispered in Tubo: "General, the King of Han is really extraordinary, we Tubo is not unjustly lost, just rely on the King of Han to come to the camp to understand the situation, and mingle with the soldiers, who can do it in the entire Tubo court?" Under the rule of the Han king, there may really be hope for Tibet. ”

"You know about the ambush reinforcements two days ago, right?" Dorjee asked rhetorically.

"Yes." Everyone nodded.

Dorjee continued: "Let's surrender the army in the final analysis, not the descendant troops, but the king of Han knows that we are tired and tired, and I can't fight again, so I sent the descendants of the descendants to fight an ambush, and another person will definitely send us to be cannon fodder. ”

"Don't worry, general, they are all old brothers who killed together, and they know the trade-offs."

"That's right, King Han is benevolent, we can't be discouraged."
