Chapter 376: Luck
The dinner party that night was not happy, although it is now in the military camp, but the environment in which Li Xiang lives is still very good, the area of this tent should be at least thirty or forty square meters, there are only three such tents in the entire military camp, the one of Songtsan Gampo is slightly larger, Li Xiang's is second, and the slightly smaller one is where Lu Dongzan lives, and the rank in Tubo is also very strict.
Li Xiang drank a lot of wine tonight, but he was still able to stay sober, Li Xiang just stretched, the people who went out to scout have returned, these people have the combat power of twenty-five people, so even if this is a military camp, they can come and go freely.
"What do you hear?"
Li Xiang poured a glass of water for Long Liu, which was nothing in Li Xiang's opinion, but these people below were flattered, although they were all exchanged from the system, but they still remembered the concept of respect and inferiority of the elders and the young, Li Xiang was the master of their people, how could they pour water for them when they were the masters?
"Back to His Royal Highness, the food in the barracks is still sufficient, but the subordinates heard the conversation of the grain transporters, saying that their grain depots in the rear were empty, and almost all the grain that could be taken out was taken out, but there was still food in the grain depots of many Tusi, but the quantity was not very large, and they could only eat it themselves, and the slaves below really had no food."
Long Liu said honestly, according to the news that Li Xiang has mastered, there should be no surplus grain in Tubo, and their main grain producing areas are all in the Tusi Master, and now the two sides are at war, how can they trade? Therefore, for every day of perseverance, Songtsen Gampo has more possibilities for starvation.
Of course, as Long Liu said, there is food in the granary of Tusi, and it is impossible for the big nobles to starve to death, but they live on the slave system, if the slaves at the lower levels have nothing to eat, then they will stand up and rebel, and they will not produce anything, then at that time it will threaten the rule of these big nobles, so before that, the big nobles must find a way to get food, otherwise the rest of the days will be a long time.
"Is there any anti-war sentiment in the barracks?"
Li Xiang knew that the people under him were very complicated, and if he asked these people to summarize it, then I am afraid it would take a while to summarize, so Li Xiang first picked out some news that he wanted to know.
"Back to Your Highness, what these people are most worried about at present is that there are many border troops in the border area who have returned from the border, telling them about our new weapons, and how Tuyuhun's army has failed? They are not worried about the army of the old man Tusi on the opposite side, what they are worried about is that after the battle here, the Tang army will come from the north......"
Listening to Long Er's words, Li Xiang was really a little strange, I thought that these people were worried about the army of Master Tusi, but I didn't expect them to worry about the army of the Tang Dynasty, it is normal to think about it, the influence of the Tang Dynasty has been rising over the years, plus the troops in the border areas have seen our new weapons, they naturally have a little Jiujiu in their hearts, but they didn't expect to let Lu Dongzan come back with the border army, but it disturbed their military morale.
"It's not early today, except for the necessary people to keep vigil, the rest of the people should rest in the tent, don't go to the tent they prepared for you, if we all disperse, something may happen at that time."
Li Xiang didn't bring many people, but these people around him had to stay around, Li Xiang sent Yu Chi Baolin and Changsun Chong out, and let them go to the tent arranged by Tubo, so that they could also be horns in the whole camp, once something happened, the three of them could also support each other, so that they would not be wrapped in dumplings in one place, and after arriving at other people's territory, we had to think more about everything.
The guards also thought so, if they were too far away from Li Xiang, even if they were strong, they might not be able to take care of Li Xiang at that time, and after hearing Li Xiang's words, these people began to spread out their own covers, and then surrounded Li Xiang in the center.
For a few days in a row, Li Xiang didn't have anything to do in the barracks, either this minister had a banquet, or that minister was hunting, anyway, the days were very good, Li Xiang also knew that Lu Dongzan was not idle, and he sent out his cronies that night, and these people contacted some people from Datang and Nanzhao as quickly as possible.
Songtsen Gampo also heard Lu Dongzan say that the price of twenty-five wen is absolutely unacceptable, if you want to use this price to buy grain, then their treasury will be emptied, if it is in a rich year, maybe you can also consider it, but now there is a little money in the treasury, and the places where money is spent are everywhere, if you use this price to buy food, when the Tusi masters counterattack in the coming year, they can't even organize soldiers, so Songtsen Gampo supports Lu Dongzan's idea, No matter how expensive it is sold by outsiders, it will never reach the price of twenty-five yuan.
At this moment, these two people are walking around in the tent, like ants on a hot pot, Li Xiang has already gone out of the camp to hunt, Lu Dongzan explained clearly to the people below, he must ensure Li Xiang's safety, and also monitor the people around him, if there is one less person, he must hurry over to report, they are thinking of using the sound of dogs and horses to tie Li Xiang, so that they can make small moves in secret.
What does Lu Dongzan think, Lu Dongzan, the way of nature, is undoubtedly smart in Li Xiang's eyes, but now it seems that there are only some small cleverness, and the facts are already here, even if you have some little cleverness, it is impossible to change the fundamental state of affairs.
Li Xiang simply calculated, he was tired enough during this time, since you have arranged entertainment activities, let's enjoy it honestly, these two days are also fun, but the attack of the toast master made Li Xiang stop this kind of day.
"What's going on?"
Li Xiang said knowingly, the military camp was already burning wolf smoke, and his subordinates were afraid that Li Xiang would have an accident, so they immediately escorted Li Xiang to the rear, which was still some distance away from the military camp where Li Xiang lived, and when he saw the golden dome in front of him, Li Xiang knew where this was, and every time Songtsen Gampo fought here, he had to withdraw here first, and the front line belonged to Lu Dongzan's management.
