After the matter of building a post station was discussed, the only thing left to talk about was the matter of the expedition to Xiao Bolu, of course, Li Siye did not need to participate in this matter, so he had to get up and say goodbye: "Zhongcheng, Du Hu, the last general will retire first." ”

Unexpectedly, Tian Renwan beckoned to him again: "It's okay, General Li can stay, the young man has a lively brain, maybe there is something pertinent." ”

As soon as he got up, he had to kneel on the futon again, straighten his back and look ahead, without distractions, and learn modestly as a student.

Fu Meng Lingcha crossed his hand towards Tian Renwan and said: "It is suggested that the transfer station for grain and grass supply be set up in Quancheng Prefecture, in case the war is unfavorable, we can withdraw from the Green Ridge and regroup in Quancheng Prefecture." ”

Li Siye's eyebrows moved slightly, thinking that it was better not to speak at this time, and refuting the opinions of his superiors would be tantamount to slapping others in the face?

Tian Renwan raised his head and thought about it, and asked after a little thought: "But Quanchengzhou is too far away from the Green Ridge, and it is more than two hundred miles away from Lianyunbao, is there anyone familiar with the Green Ridge?" Is it feasible to build a granary here? ”

Li Siye continued to keep silent.

Fumeng Lingcha raised his head and thought about it, and said: "When he was the envoy of Shule Town, he once went to the Green Ridge once, and it seems that Li Siye served as the guard of the Green Ridge. Yes, Li Siye, you have been a guard and capture envoy in the Green Ridge for more than a year, and you can tell Zhongcheng about the weather of the Green Ridge. ”

Li Siye nodded, and arched his hand and said: "The snow at the lowest part of the Green Ridge only begins to melt in April, and it starts to snow in October. And there will be altitude sickness, and the local people have a high nose bridge and large pores......"

"Wait," Tian Renwan interrupted him and asked, "What do you mean by altitude sickness?"

"It's a lack of oxygen, thin air, difficulty breathing, dizziness." He stretched out his hand and gestured to Tanaka.

"It's not adaptable." Tian Renwan corrected his words: "You go on."

"Altitude sickness, no, it is not adapted to the soil and water, which will cause people to have difficulty breathing, but there is no such problem for the people of the country, and my Anxi army will be uncomfortable for a period of time when the expedition to the green ridge. The distance between the Green Ridge and the Bole River is less than 100 miles, but the march has to keep turning back, making a large circle in a circuitous circle, and crossing several mountains in succession. ”

He glanced up at Tian Renwan, and found that the other party's face was gradually sinking, and he felt bad in his heart, did he think that I was hitting his self-confidence?

He began to make a turn without a trace: "It is not a problem to cross the mountains and mountains, as long as the grain and grass are sufficient, and the march is steady, the biggest problem is time, we must take the city of Sindo before October, after October, the green mountains are cold and snowy, and the difficulty of the march increases exponentially."

Tian Renwan's face eased up, and he said with a smile: "What General Li said is true, the green mountains are bitterly cold, and the winter march is quite difficult, as long as you can conquer the city of Xinduo at the end of September and capture the princess of Tubo and the little Bolu Wang's class, a big thing can be done." General Li, you have been stationed in the Green Ridge for more than a year, you are well versed in the terrain, and you also give a suggestion, where should the grain and grass be hoarded?"

After all, this question was still asked to him, how should he answer it to satisfy both of them?

Pregnant.

He coughed lightly and said, "In my humble opinion, we should hoard grain and grass in two places, one for the whole city and the other for the green mountains to guard the outside of the city, where the terrain is gentle, and it is convenient to get water near the Xiduo River."

Fu Meng Lingcha turned his body to the side and asked him rhetorically: "The road into the Green Ridge is rugged and difficult to navigate, and only livestock can be carried out, how can the convoy carrying grain and grass pass?"

Li Siye pretended to be confused, raised his head and thought: "What Fu Meng Duhu said is that it is quite difficult for the convoy to transport grain into the Green Mountains, but except for the land route? Is there any other way to get food in?"

Fu Meng Lingcha slapped his knees with both hands, leaned back slightly, and said with a smile: "The Xiduo River is close to the Green Ridge to be captured, and it can be transported by water!"

Tian Renwan's eyes also lit up and asked, "Where is the upper reaches of the Xiduo River?"

"Shacheyi! The capital of the original Shache country is here, and there is a road to the whole city, where the grain can be transported directly, put the wooden raft down the river, unload the grain in the downstream green ridge to guard the city, and build a granary on the shore on the spot. In this way, there is no need to set up a transit warehouse in Quanchengzhou, and directly use Shache as a rear granary. It's just that there is a lack of trees in the local area, this is not a problem, there are poplar forests near the city, which can be transferred from the restaurant post station to the Shache, and the flat land is better than the green mountains and mountains, so that it does not take a month, and the two places can be built into granaries, which can ensure that the logistics of the army are worry-free. ”

Li Siye praised on the side: "This plan is so wonderful, in this way, it can save a lot of manpower."

Fu Meng Lingcha stroked his beard very carefully, and Tian Renwan smiled with his palm: "Three stinkers, one Zhuge Liang, don't you just come up with this method?"

He stood up from the desk with his hands on his knees, and said with a smile: "Since the matter of the transit granary has been decided, Fumeng Duhu immediately sent someone to send a message to the envoy of Shule Town, ordering him to immediately send someone to implement it, and our army will advance into the Green Mountains at the end of this month."

"I'll do it right away."

The two also hurriedly stood up and followed Tian Renwan to see each other off, all the way to the gate of the main courtyard.

Li Siye thought that it was time for him to say goodbye, and he had not been home for more than half a month, so he should go back to take a look.

Fu Mengling looked at the distant backs of Tian Renwan and his entourage, turned his gaze back, looked at Li Siye coldly, and asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Did you kid have already figured out the matter of transporting grain from the waterways along the many rivers, so implying that I can know, how can Tanaka not know?" Can you use your sycophant skills to get down to business?"

Li Siye secretly scolded himself, weren't you quite comfortable just now.

He hurriedly crossed his hands and replied: "Duhu, wronged, I really didn't expect to be able to transport grain from the waterway, this is your own idea."

Fumeng Lingcha skipped this section with a smile, and said with a solemn expression: "General Tanaka Cheng personally expeditions to Xiao Bolu, I am in the rear as a post-envoy, and I will sign a warrant for you tomorrow, and you will go to the matter of preparing for the construction of the post station with peace of mind, if this matter can be done, you and I will return to Chang'an together to make contributions, and I will add three captains to your jumping camp!"

After hearing this, Li Siye crossed his hands happily and said, "Thank you for protecting and loving."

Tian Zhen and Tengmu have long been promoted to lieutenants and loose officers, but they have not been really vacant, although Duan Xiushi's qualifications are insufficient, they should also be promoted exceptionally, Yan Xiaosi can do the brigade rate first, and then arrange it in the future.

"You haven't been home for a few days, so I'll leave you a little free today and I'll do something tomorrow."

Li Siye said goodbye to his husband Meng Lingcha again, led the black fat back home, and just entered the courtyard door and saw Li Meier and Twelve Niang each taking a head, they opened up a field on the left side of the thorny willow tree in the west of the yard, and transplanted a few wilted seedlings in the field.

"Is this a flower? Or are you growing vegetables?"

Li Mei'er raised her head with her chest straight, proudly put her hands behind her back and said, "Guess?"

"Planting flowers? It is good to plant flowers, and when the flowers bloom, the garden is full of fragrance. ”

"Guess wrong, guess again."

Li Siye shook his head very dryly.

"Grapes!" Li Mei'er curled the corners of her mouth and said: "A few days ago, the lady of the Cheng Zhen envoy family came to our house as a guest, and brought the grapes grown by their family, very fragrant and sweet purple grapes. I asked her where the grapes came from, and she said that the grape seedlings were specially sent from Gaochang City, and I heard that this variety of grapes is the most valuable, and it is transported back to Chang'an along the post road every year, and it is said that even the wine made from grapes is also regarded as tribute wine, so I asked her to move two plants for me, which was not sent today. ”

"Cheng Zhen Envoy, which Cheng Zhen Envoy?" Li Siye suddenly felt weird, Mei'er didn't go out often, how could he hook up with the daughter of the official eunuch in Qiuzi City?

"I don't know, it may be the envoy of Qiuzi Town."

Cheng Qianli! This is his direct superior, how did Mei'er know his daughter?

"How did you two meet?"

"I met like that, I was wandering around the market with Twelve Niang, and in the ready-to-wear shop, we both took a fancy to a piece of clothing at the same time, and we didn't let each other go, and then we met. She asked me whose young lady I was, and I gave you your name, and the next day she came to visit. ”

This operation, he really can't understand it, take the daughter's route? If you want to take the daughter's route, you should also go by yourself, who has ever seen a town envoy take the initiative to contact his subordinates?
