Chapter 253: Sweeping Mobei

At least two thousand years of Changbai Mountain ginseng, Guo Rong's eyes were shocked!

It can definitely be sold at a sky-high price!

This was Guo Rong's first reaction.

However, in the next moment, staring at the porcelain bowl in Zhang Jiaxuan's hand and smelling the rich aroma, Guo Rong came back to his senses.

Ginseng is indeed a good thing, and 2,000 years of ginseng is even better, but it is necessary to consider who to use this thing and how to use it......

Two thousand years of ginseng, with tonics, I ate it, a strong guy, and fought with the two ladies for the landlord, and it is estimated that I will not be tired after fighting for three days and three nights.

However, if it is put on the body of the Emperor Taishang, then it will be hehe, not just a matter of being empty and not being able to make up.

Li Yu This is a hemorrhagic stroke, and Zhang Jiaxuan needs to bleed from time to time, if this bowl of soup enters Li Xu's mouth, the blood and qi will surge, and the Emperor Taishang will most likely be promoted to the first emperor, and Guo Rong can basically notify Li Chun to prepare for Li Xu.

Thinking of the consequences, Guo Rong's head was sweating, and his back was cold, so frightened that Guo Rong took one step and three steps, and suddenly rushed to Zhang Jiaxuan.

"I said, Zhang Daoye, have you used this thing yourself?"

"No, I'm strong, how can I need this, but ......"

"Then you dare to use it for Your Majesty, you are not afraid that Your Majesty will not be able to make up for it, or ......"

"Of course I know this, I know very well the physical state of the Emperor Taishang, and the ginseng is also very well recorded in the classics of Sun Immortal Master, and I know very well the strength of this medicine."

"So I only took a small bit of roots, and added some nourishing, warm and other auxiliary drugs to synthesize the medicinal properties, a small amount of it will not cause His Majesty's blood and qi to surge, and it has an excellent effect on removing the cold in His Majesty's body."

Zhang Jiaxuan's words were so full that Guo Rong didn't know how to persuade for a while.

"There are a lot of tonics, and Your Majesty will be fine if you drink less of this bowl, but if Your Majesty has a ......"

However, Zhang Jiaxuan shook his head solemnly.

"Let me ask you, do you have the ability to let Your Majesty leave Mobei within a month?"

"Forehead ......"

Obviously, Guo Rong doesn't have the ability.

"Your Majesty has stayed in the north for too long, and the cold in the body has been getting heavier and heavier recently, if it is in the Central Plains, it will be fine, but this is Mobei, and the low temperature will last for at least two months, if you can't get rid of the cold for your majesty in time......"

"Zhang Daoye, are you sure it's okay?"

"Of course!"

Looking at Zhang Jiaxuan, who was full of confidence, for a long time, Guo Rong still said uneasily.

"Zhang Daoye, I have absolute trust in Zhang Daoye's medical skills, but this is a matter of Your Majesty's safety, why don't you find someone to try the medicinal properties first, and then give it to Your Majesty after making sure that the medicinal properties are peaceful?"

Guo Rong's original intention was to find a woman with a similar physical condition to Li Chen, or the same cold, to see the effect, but Guo Rong didn't expect Zhang Jiaxuan to stare at him with a bad smile.

"Why don't you come?"

"Don't!"

Zhang Jiaxuan just raised his head, Guo Rong was directly a spirit, and then began to shake his head vigorously.

I was originally a man who stood up to the sky, come to a copy of this thing, good guy, this is to come to such a hair, if the two ladies are fine, the problem is that the two of them are in Chang'an, I don't want to learn from those Tianzhu guys, and the lizards will not let go......

"You can test the medicine with whoever you want, don't look for me, and don't give it to Your Majesty easily, it's not good to use this thing indiscriminately......"

As he spoke, Guo Rong's eyes suddenly narrowed, and his thoughts were also extended, Liu Runlong said that the origin of things is Changbai Mountain, where is Changbai Mountain, Liaodong!

Beat the roe deer and scoop the fish, the pheasant flies into the rice pot, ginseng, mink, and ura grass, speaking of which, Liaodong, that is a good place......

When he first described the scenery and products of various places to the two emperors Li Yu and Li Chun, even Guo Rong of the Americas and Australia said it, but did not mention Mobei and Liaodong.

Mobei was not mentioned because Guo Rong did not know what could be developed in the Mongolian steppe and Siberia at that time.

didn't mention Liaodong because Guo Rong knew that since the Sui and Tang dynasties, the war in Liaodong has never stopped.

In the pre-Sui era, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty made three expeditions to Liaodong, and after entering the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan began to spy on Liaodong in the era.

The reason why the emperors of the Sui and Tang dynasties conquered Liaodong was not that from Yang Guang to Li Shimin favored Liaodong, on the contrary, Liaodong was nothing more than a continuation of the war between the Guanlong military group of the Sui and Tang dynasties and the wealthy families of Shandong.

For the Guanlong military group, Liaodong is a place of meritorious service, but for the wealthy families in Shandong, Liaodong is their sad place, Liaodong is a meat grinder that devours their flesh and blood, and every conquest of Liaodong is a great weakening of their strength.

A large part of the reason why the Hebei domain became a stubborn disease of the Tang Dynasty was that Wu Zhou almost slaughtered the real Guanlong nobles for his own rule, and the Guanlong group, which suffered heavy losses, was unable to suppress the wealthy families in Shandong.

Even Emperor Li Xu, in order to reach an agreement with the wealthy families in Shandong and promote reform, consciously avoided the Liaodong region to avoid unwanted conflicts, and Guo Rong would not take the initiative to find a draw.

When it was used as a meat grinder, the wealthy families in Shandong avoided Liaodong, but when Liaodong became a region containing infinite wealth, everything changed.

When investigating the warm clothing, Guo Rong knew that the main clothing for the rich people in the Tang Dynasty was fur, and the main source of the Datang fur was the fur of bears, tigers, and foxes from Liaodong.

Fur, fur is indeed a source of wealth, but it is only a source of wealth, and it is the least noticeable thing, without this source, the rich are still the rich, and the noble is still the noble.

However, if these furs and furs are turned into things that can prolong life, prolong life, give birth to white bones and live the dead, or can keep their golden guns from falling and sheng flute night and night, then the nature is different.

There is a saying in Guo Rong's later life that if something is related to life extension, aphrodisiac, or improving a certain ability, its value will skyrocket immediately.

If there are experts who confirm that dog poop can be an aphrodisiac, then even dog shit will be bought at a sky-high price.

Although there is a difference of thousands of years, Guo Rong believes that the essence of human beings will not change, and the same situation should be common in Datang.

According to Guo Rong's understanding, people participating in deer antler velvet and deer blood seem to be such a combination of blind effects, although Guo Rong himself doesn't know how to tune it, but there are people around him who understand!

Zhang Jiaxuan, Zhang Daoye has inherited the mantle of Sun Simiao, and according to the high-grade raw materials, there should be no problem in blending the most high-end supplements.

With good things, coupled with moderate publicity and marketing, it is not difficult to let the greedy Shandong giants enter the urn, but this thing can't be too anxious, there are too many good things in Liaodong, at least you have to put your hand in it first and stand firm......

Now the place where Datang and Liaodong directly border is Lulong, which is the number one separatist force in Datang led by the three towns of Hebei.

Whether it is the wealthy families of Shandong, the nobles of Guan Long, the tigers of Jiangmen, the wealthy merchants of Jiangnan, the envoys of Jiedu, the observers, and the defense envoys from all over the country, they all have to pass through the three towns of Hebei if necessary......

Now, with Dongying, it is not easy to divert the attention of Shandong giants, making the relationship between Hebei Three Towns and Shandong giants slightly severed.

gave such a welfare gift package to Lu Long, and Lu Long's festival made Mr. Liu not excited to jump back directly......

Before killing Lu Long, or taking Liaodong, it is not appropriate to promote this thing too much.

Of course, it is not an easy task to take Liaodong.

On the contrary, between the mountains and forests of the white mountains and black waters and the vast wilderness, there are a large number of ethnic groups with nomadic herding and hunting, as well as agriculture and animal husbandry, such as Goguryeo, Jin, Khitan, Khitan, Xi, Murowei, Xia, Liugui, Wuluohun and so on.

These semi-nomadic/nomadic and semi-cultivated peoples had no chance of winning a frontal battle with the Tang army, but the trouble was that they drilled into the ravines at every turn.

Once it enters the mountains and mountains, the white mountains and black waters, the Tang army's battle formation will not be able to be displayed, and the sophisticated equipment will also become a huge burden, coupled with the cold and long winter of Liaodong, it is almost impossible to occupy Liaodong in a short time.

Of course, not being able to occupy Liaodong does not mean that you cannot spy on Liaodong, and it does not mean that you cannot infiltrate in the direction of Liaodong, and Li Mi had formulated an infiltration and support plan 20 years ago.

Although the plan was not implemented because of Li Mi's death, it ......

The base camp of the Lu Long Army is in Youzhou!

Under Zhang Jiaxuan's gaze, Guo Rong began to seriously think about the information that the reconnaissance battalion had already investigated Lu Long and Liaodong when he went north from Hebei Province.

The products of Liaodong were only wealth to Lulong, and the food and iron tools that Lulong could provide were the necessities of the semi-nomadic/nomadic and semi-cultivated peoples.

Although Lu Longjun has formed a de facto secession, Lu Longjun is still a Tang army, as long as it does not drill deep into the mountains and old forests, it can still beat the various ethnic groups in Liaodong to cry wolves.

It is almost common for Lu Longjun to oppress, humiliate, loot, plunder, and slaughter all ethnic groups in Liaodong, and for dozens or hundreds of years, the various ethnic groups in Liaodong have a common enmity with Lu Longjun in a certain sense.

With this background, Guo Rong extended according to Li Mi's ideas, infiltrating Liaodong, luring leaders, supporting Tang traitors, instigating contradictions, and triggering melee...... A complete train of thought gradually formed in Guo Rong's mind.

When the Khitan, Murowei, Jurchen, Goguryeo, Jin and other ethnic groups were weakened because of cannibalism, or were already fighting with the Lu Long army, it was the time to cross the Great Khing'an Mountains from the direction of the grassland and march into Liaodong.

Of course, in Guo Rong's plan, this is a long process that can take three, five, or even ten years.

For this purpose, it has a unique advantage in the smuggling of armaments in the entire Mobei and Liaodong Datang, and the ancient department of Baye, which should have been directly eradicated, was finally retained.

After determining his train of thought, Guo Rong asked Emperor Li Yu to postpone the military meeting, and then mysteriously came to Zhang Jiaxuan's side.

"Zhang Daoye, I have some immature ideas, I want to ask you for advice!"

Immediately afterwards, Guo Rong and Zhang Jiaxuan had extensive and in-depth exchanges on the effects of certain drugs.

According to the classics and records left by Sun Simiao, he was very clear about the role of ginseng, so after he added other auxiliary materials, he turned the great tonic of Li Zhiming into a warm tonic, nourishing and repelling cold.

Zhang Jiaxuan was somewhat surprised by what Guo Rong said, Guo Rong was obviously ready to go to the other extreme, but this kind of request was not too difficult for him.

Without any pause, Zhang Jiaxuan adjusted the excipients according to Sun Simiao's prescription and Guo Rong's requirements.

The original tonic of warmth, nourishment, and dispersion was replaced with deer antler velvet and deer blood, and then excipients such as wolfberry were added, and a small amount of ginseng was boiled as a medicinal guide.

The next night, these test products, which were prepared and boiled by Zhang Daoye, were added to the soup pot of a servant army camp firmly surrounded by the Northern Expeditionary Army.

That night, the whole camp was wiped out by cows, mares, and ewes.

In the early morning of the next day, Guo Rong took Zhang Jiaxuan to the camp to observe the effect of the experiment.

Although because of the first dispensing, the medicinal properties were a little excessive, and more than one person died on the spot in the process of releasing himself, but the amazing effect it brought still amazed everyone, and Zhang Jiaxuan was even more dumbfounded......

After this astonishing effect was determined, the military council that had been postponed was held, and more tasks were assumed, and the size and establishment of the newly established Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate were greatly increased.

In order to cooperate with the reconstruction of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, Li Yu ordered that 8,000 soldiers and horses from Shuofang, Tiande, Zhenwu, and Hedong be transferred to the north, and 4,000 soldiers and horses of the forbidden army formed the core of the Tang Army of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate.

The size of the servant army increased from four to eight, with a total of 24,000 men.

Of these, 18,000 were from the steppe and 6,000 from Liaodong.

When the Anbuku Prefecture is completely rebuilt, it will have a total of 36,000 people.

It takes time for soldiers and horses to go north, it takes time for the training of servant troops, and it takes time for Liaodong soldiers to be recruited.

From March of the third year of Yuanhe, as the temperature slowly rose, every time a servant army was formed, it would begin to attack in all directions under the supervision of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Since the servant army itself is composed of steppe people, they are extremely adaptable to the people and things of the steppe and the environment and climate.

Coupled with the control of the Tang Military Academy, the blessing of the Tang Army's ordnance can become an incentive for the Tang people to complete enough killings and accumulate enough meritorious deeds.

These servants have unmatched passion and energy.

Every few days or more than ten days, a team carrying captives in units of 1,000 people, as well as countless cattle and sheep, would return to the garrison of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate from all over the country.

In later generations, it had a name called Ulaanbaatar.

From March to June, when the first rain fell on the grasslands, more than 100,000 people were captured, and more than one million horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock were brought back.

Under the continuous killing and frenzied plundering, these eight teams, when the soldiers and horses drawn from Monan had not yet arrived, in just three months, almost slaughtered the entire central part of the Mobei grassland.

Seeing the amazing effect of the servant army, and seeing the grassland that had been vacated, Guo Rong and Zheyun Valley were not idle.

In the direction of Mobei, the elite of the 4,000 Northern Expeditionary Army plus 8,000 soldiers and horses drawn from Shuofang, Tiande, Zhenwu, and Hedong were integrated, and the main force of the Mobei Tang Army was rebuilt.

After the integration was completed, with the support of the Northern Expeditionary Army, the Tang Army of the Anbei Protectorate sprinkled an important position on the grassland in units of 1,000 people.

With the location of the original Sijie Department, the Lushan Governor's Mansion under the former Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate was rebuilt, and then the six Governor's Mansions such as Hanhai, Yanran, Jinwei, Youling, and Guilin, and seven prefectures including Gaolanzhou, Gaoque, Jilu, Jitian, Yuxi, Linzhou, and Yanzhou were restored.

From the westernmost Lushan Governor's Mansion (formerly Sijiebu) to the east, it extends to the easternmost Youling Governor's Mansion (Bayegu), building an early warning line that is thousands of miles long.

Of course, unless the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate is tasked with the defense of the north, the original Baye Ancient Department has quietly changed the day, and Lu Kang, a former member of the Beiting Army, has become the new wolf master of the Baye Ancient Department.

In the southern direction of Mo, the Fengzhou Tiande Army was dismantled, and Fengzhou was reassigned to the Zhenwu Army.

After the streamlining, the Tiande army was deployed in two directions.

Half of the men and horses advanced three hundred miles north to establish the Yunzhong Governor's Mansion.

The other half of the men and horses advanced 300 miles to the northwest and resumed the establishment of the Huyan Governor's Office.

The two prefectures were also under the jurisdiction of the Shuofang Jiedu Envoy.

The two prefectures of Yunzhong and Huyan filled the gap in the defense between Mobei and Shuofang, thus forming a complete defense system of Lushan, Yunzhong, Huyan, Shuofang, Longyou and Jiannan.

After the two defense lines in the north and northwest that are more similar to the early warning line, there is the second defense line in the north composed of three powerful jiedu envoys of Longshan (Shuofang), Hetao (Zhenwu Army), and Taihang (Hedong).

After all the arrangements were completed and two complete in-depth defense lines in the north and northwest were established, in September of the third year of Yuan He, after staying in Mobei for a whole year, the Northern Expeditionary Army led by Guo Rong, mainly the forbidden army, finally embarked on the road to the south.

Of course, they did not travel alone, and hundreds of thousands of them were used as trophies and rewards for horses, cattle, and sheep......

Compared with the scene in the ice and snow when going north, when I went south, I saw the green grassland and the boundless wilderness, and everyone's mood suddenly brightened.

According to the current plan, they will arrive in Toyosu in November.

At that time, you can choose to take the direction of Longshan Shuofang to return, enter Guanzhong and return to Chang'an, or you can go south along the Yellow River in the direction of Hedong Road, but it doesn't matter how you choose at that time.

When Guo Rong was busy on the grassland with the Northern Expeditionary Army and rebuilding the Anbei Protectorate, there was another person who was also running around the land of the Tang Dynasty, and that person's name was Chen Hongzhi.

When the Northern Expeditionary Army embarked on the road back, Chen Hongzhi had already crossed Hedong, Henan, and Hebei, and came to Youzhou, the base camp of the Lu Long Army.

Unlike the previous rush in and around Datang, this time Chen Hongzhi did not come alone.

Under the huge crisis, Wei Bojiedu made Tian Ji'an, Chengde Jiedu made Wang Chengzong, and Huaixi Jiedu made Wu Shaoxiong quietly leave their own defense area, entered Hebei Province, and came to Youzhou.

Here, a small-scale meeting related to the fate of the entire Datang and even the entire region, the discussion is slowly kicking off.
