On the way back to Shule City, Li Siye began to analyze and ponder what he had learned in the past two days, the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army was no problem, and the individual equipment was also the strongest in the same period, and the shortcomings in his eyes were the logistics system and medical emergency.

The logistics of the Shule army relied on post stations and ox carts to transport grain to the garrison points, although it could be supplied in sufficient quantities, but the food was too simple, just like when he arrived at the Green Ridge to guard and capture, he ate barley all day long, almost ninety percent of the grain was barley, and then there was only one percent of wheat flour and millet rice, and almost no meat, how could this work?

The Shule army was located in a remote area, and there was no suitable dry food for the march, not even dry cakes, most of them were barley and tsampa, and dry food mixed with a little flour, and the preservation time was only five or six days. If there is a battle, they have to march with a fight, which is tantamount to increasing the weight and reducing the ability to run long distances.

And the situation with horses is not optimistic.

He worked as a lieutenant in the city for more than a year, and served as a lieutenant in Qiuci for a year, and the more than 7,000 Tang troops under the jurisdiction of Qiuci basically all had private horses, such as the elite combat troops of the jumping battalion and the front team, most of them had two horses, one for riding and one for carrying transport, not to mention the light cavalry of Qiuci.

However, the situation of Shule is worse than that of Qiuzi, at least not to the point where everyone has horses to transport and feed, and those who have two horses are even less pitiful, and the cavalry in the Shule city defense camp is only two horses per person, which is not a real strong horse.

Not to mention the lack of horse farms, the lack of veterinarians to treat horses, and the lack of horseshoes.

There are also medical and health ills, there are only four medical officers in the entire Shule Army, once there is a big war, 6,000 wounded people have to be rescued by four, and some people are destined to die if they do not get treatment, which is a great loss for the Tang Army. It is necessary to build a complete battlefield treatment and medical system, and at least ensure that one out of every ten people can do debridement and suturing, so as to conform to the setting of military strength.

Nine days later, the dusty group returned to Shule City, more than two months of running made everyone dry and dusty, yellow and thin, even the two horses responsible for pulling the drum cart in the record, also tired to lose ten pounds of fat, I don't know how much time to raise back.

I think that the most unlucky is Zhao Chongxuan, the deputy military envoy of Shule, and others are still mentally prepared, he is simply out. Li Siye obviously told him that he was just going to the stronghold in the area of Shule Town to see, at most it would be ten to twenty days, who would have thought that Li Siye would stop and draw a map all the way, this delay was more than two months, and he didn't even have a chance to go home to give his mother a letter, and he didn't know anything at home.

Zhao Chongxuan hurriedly stepped in through the side door, and the steward of the concierge hurriedly greeted him: "General, you are back!"

General Zhao's eyes turned green, and he asked in annoyance, "What's going on at home!"

The steward was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "There is nothing wrong at home, but you haven't heard from you for two months and haven't come home, and your wife and Xiaolang are in a hurry, and you have already asked people to go to the town envoy's mansion and the governor's mansion to find it?"

Zhao Chongxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then glared at him again and said angrily: "Nonsense! I'm such a big person, I can't go missing, of course I'm entangled in business!"

A woman in a glow-colored skirt with a red silk veil draped over her shoulders greeted her, she combed her high bun, and the red flowers on her forehead had not yet faded, and hurried to the general's side in three steps and two steps, and asked vigorously: "Oh, where are you going?" I can go home for more than two months! It really makes the slave family want to worry. ”

Zhao Chongxuan turned his head and glanced at the delicate makeup on the woman's face, and asked coldly, "Where are you going?"

The woman's eyebrows were raised more and more in shock, and then she said in an annoyed voice with a cry: "Where can I go!" Where can I go! It's not to show up to find you conscienceless goods! I didn't go home for more than two months, and I didn't even get a letter back, which made my family worried and worried! Even if it's for official business, there is a limit, I just thought of the new Li Zhen Embassy to go up and ask what's going on, and now I want to ask more and more!"

The lady said that she was about to go out with her sleeves flicked up, but Zhao Chongyu hurriedly turned around and stopped: "Yes, yes, lady, don't go, let people know, and I thought I had a grudge in my heart." Hurry up and ask someone to boil hot water for me, I have to wash away the fatigue on my body. ”

……

After bathing in the fragrant soup, General Zhao only wore a white middle single and sat in front of the desk in the room, the lady ordered the kitchen to cook a few dishes, and ordered someone to bring wine, and the husband and wife toasted to each other. While General Zhao lamented the good life, he also lamented the pain of leaving home.

"All day long, the cakes and cakes are about to vomit me, and I finally understand that the ancients didn't know what the taste of meat was in March, it was a torture."

Hearing her own man complaining, the lady was also very angry, and cursed at the mean General Li: "This Li Siye is simply a pickpocket, he just took office and tried to give you this way, why didn't he suffer this kind of suffering." ”

"Hey, he has also suffered this hardship, I'm afraid he doesn't feel bitter at all, but a little sweet, presumably from a bitter background. I used to think it was from the Li family, but now it doesn't seem to be, how can the county wang stand this? Hey, I'm so tired that I have to lie at home for a while. ”

He lay soft on the couch, stretched out his hand to grab the back of his neck and rubbed it vigorously, and suddenly a doorman suddenly stood outside, and said with his hands crossed: "General Pei, the governor of Shule, is here to visit." ”

Zhao Chongyu supported his body and sat up, waved his hand and said, "Please come in quickly, no, I'll go to the door to greet you in person." ”

He rolled up his sleeves and walked out of the door, and the lady hurriedly took off his robe from the shelf and said, "Don't catch a cold, put on some clothes." ”

"No need, you can't freeze dead a few steps away!"

He stood at the side door in a white middle single and greeted him: "Pei Dudu is coming to the cold house, Chongxuan is not very honored, please come in." ”

Pei Guoliang noticed that his hair was still wet and he was wearing a middle top. Zhao Chongxuan lowered his head and pointed at himself and explained: "I've been running around for more than two months, and I just entered the house to take a shower, and the governor came, don't you see this?" ”

Pei Dudu said with a smile: "No wonder in the past two months, you two generals of Shule Town have not been in the city, and the feelings are running around and working hard." ”

"What is this, we are already a martial artist, and long-distance travel is the norm, so why do you have to say it. Oh, Pedudu, please come in! ”

At this time, Zhao Chongyu's lady also came out, with a silk robe on her arm, and her hands fell on her waist and bowed slightly. Pei Guoliang glanced at this lady of the Zhao family, and said in his heart that she was really the first beauty in Shule City, and it was so pleasing to the eye.

"Yes, please."

The two walked into the hall, Zhao Chongyu invited the guest to sit in front of the desk, he sat down a little, knelt on his knees, and pressed his hands on his knees to show his attention to the guests.

The lady knelt on the side and lifted the lid of the teapot, scooped out two bowls of boiled tea with a spoon, and held them to Pei Guoliang and Zhao Chongyu respectively.

Pei Guoliang thanked him, took the tea bowl from Zhao Niangzi's hand, took a sip and said with a smile: "I didn't have anything else to do, just because the two generals had been out for so long, Pei was concerned in his heart, and he came to ask, please also tell General Li, what is the use of Pei's place, just order." ”

"Been out for so long, hey, don't mention it." Zhao Chongxuan opened his mouth and said: "General Li's inspection this time can be described as thorough and complete, he has seen all the garrison locations of my Shule army, and inspected on the spot, and accurately drew the terrain and deployment map of the Shule area. Two months and sixty days and nights, it was rain and rain, and we ate and lived together with the garrison soldiers to share weal and woe, and now it is mostly completed. ”

Pei Guoliang was stunned when he heard this, and he turned out to be devoted to his work. He prepared his wedding gift two months in advance, but it didn't come in handy. This was a surprise to him, it seems that the new town envoy is still serious and responsible for his position, and he will not delve into the reasons why he looked for a carpenter when he first came to office.

"What, you're still going to run out?"

"Probably not, just finish the important things and leave the rest to your subordinates. It's just that I have a hunch that Li Zhenzhi may make a big move next. ”

"Oh," Pei Guoliang concentrated on the surface, but in his heart he didn't think so, what big move could he make? If it was a literati who had put pen to paper, it was possible to build water conservancy in the surrounding area, expand the area of cultivated land, and gather military and civilian fields to increase financial revenue. But such a powerful martial artist will repair the city defenses, dig a few wells and so on. For example, Geng Zhongjing, I don't know how many town guards came, and they all wanted to work hard from that well, either sending people to dig deep, or setting up altars to worship. As everyone knows, the well has been dry for many years, and no matter how much you dig it or worship, it will not produce water.

The Han people will engage in the worship of these vain heads, how many years has the Han Dynasty been from now, Geng Gong has already become a legend, rather than bowing to this legend, it is better to do some deeds in a down-to-earth manner.

The two chatted for a while across the case, and Zhao Chongxuan's face also showed a look of exhaustion, Pei Guoliang knew that it was not suitable to stay any longer, so he quickly got up and said goodbye.
