Chapter 157 begins
At the end of the third year of Zhenguan, the grassland suddenly fell heavy snow, cattle and sheep suffered countless frostbites, the grassland suffered heavy losses, and various materials were suddenly in short supply.
It was also at this time that Li Jing led 3,000 elite cavalry to leave suddenly.
Subsequently, the six border cities that the Tang Dynasty and the grassland came into contact with were opened at the same time, and the 120,000 fully armored troops suddenly attacked and went straight to the various tribes of the grassland.
The soldiers with a full set of woolen sweaters and woolen pants under their armor, a silk lining on the inside, and pigskin gloves on their hands braved the wind and snow.
Zhang Gongjin personally led an army of 17,000 to follow behind Li Jing as his guarantee.
On the day the army started, there was heavy snow in the sky, the sky was like ink, and the depression was terrible, but Li Jing still chose to go out on this day.
On that day, Li Kuan and the various families paid their own money and brought a bowl of wine to each of the soldiers who were leaving, so that everyone was happy.
Before they set out for the battle, meat procured from other places also arrived, and a full meal was made for the soldiers.
The first-aid medicines used on the battlefield, mixed with locust powder and some Chinese herbal medicines, were also handed over to a soldier after repeated inspections.
Strictly ensure that there are no problems with everyone's equipment and logistical supplies.
In Li Jing's words, if nothing else, let's just say that the woolen sweater is much stronger than the war back then.
In this era when down jackets and cotton clothes and other real cold-resistant clothes have not appeared, woolen clothes are already the best cold-resistant clothes that Li Kuan can get.
After the army set out, Li Kuan went to see Chai Shao, the uncle who didn't get the mission to go on the expedition, his mentality at this time should not be good.
Li Kuan found Chai Shao in the barracks, which used to be full of people, but at this time there were only 3,000 people stationed.
Chai Shao sat in the barracks with a lonely expression.
Seeing Li Kuan come in, Chai Shao smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "This is probably the biggest war since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and it is the only military feast in the next few years. ”
Looking at Chai Shao's lonely appearance, Li Kuan scratched his head, not knowing how to comfort him for a while.
Chai Shao's next words proved that he didn't need consolation.
Listen only to his own words:
"I know that I have enough military exploits, destroying the Liang Division, taking Shuofang, rescuing you and Zhang Gongjin, guarding the border passes, these military exploits are enough."
"And the credit for the crusade against the Turks, I will take it again, it will be a bit much, and there are many generals in Chang'an City who have a very high status and do not have enough credit to need this military merit to ensure their rights."
"I know all this, but I'm still not reconciled."
Li Kuan scratched his head again, he didn't know how to speak for a while.
By the way, Li Kuan thought of something, and suddenly said: "Actually, you still have a way to participate in this war." ”
Chai Shao glanced at Li Kuan and said disdainfully: "The military affairs have already been arranged, how can it be temporarily changed and the number of troops temporarily increased." ”
Li Kuan saw that he didn't believe it, and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten the first aid system?" ”
"You can now quickly ask Chang'an that we can be on the grassland, the army has been defeated, and a safe area is determined to establish a temporary emergency hospital, where to treat the seriously injured soldiers."
"It's better than having them transport the wounded back."
"Plus we can now requisition the Shuofang family's first aid system."
These words made Chai Shao stunned, and then he immediately thought of the feasibility.
That's really okay.
At the same time, Chai Shao thought of one thing, Zhang Gongjin had mentioned this before, and he sent the first aid soldiers to the front line, but Li Jing refused on the grounds that the first aid soldiers were also precious and the grassland was dangerous.
Now it seems that Li Jing is leaving him a chance.
Thinking back to Li Jing's battle plan, Chai Shao felt that it was completely in time.
At the same time, Chai Shao also understood that this was the point that Li Jing had left for himself, as long as he completed large-scale treatment on the grassland with first aid soldiers and medical soldiers, Zhang Gongjin could assess Li Jing for not listening to others and almost causing a catastrophe.
This was the best way to reduce the merits of Li Jing, who had just finished the battle to destroy the Turks.
Thinking of this, Chai Shao hurriedly sent a message to Chang'an, and at the same time looked at Li Kuan gratefully, especially thanking him.
Li Kuan smiled, and then went to Zhou Wenli and asked him for the medical personnel of the family in Shuofang.
When he went, Zhou Wenli was ready.
"We can lend you the things of these system personnel,"
Zhou Wenli waved his hand and lent it to Li Kuan in an atmospheric manner, without the slightest buckle and rope.
Li Kuan glanced at him and said disdainfully: "Don't think I don't know, we use it, you also take advantage, you can summarize the defects, you can find out the shortcomings, and you can gain experience." ”
In this world, not all second-hand things are bad.
Some second-hand items, he has a high use rate, rich experience, and good results.
It's like the Medic system, the more you use it, the better it gets.
Obviously, Zhou Wenli has no cleanliness habits, and he will not pursue something new.
After borrowing it, Li Kuan quickly sorted out all the materials that would be used by the medical corps system.
And in Chang'an City, after Li Shimin received Chai Shao's request to establish a field hospital, he quickly saw everything behind this matter, and muttered: "It's really a perfect plan, Chai Shao also got the credit for the war to destroy the country, and Li Jing can also complete self-defilement, this thing should be done by Li Jing, it's really a good time." ”
Li Shimin originally thought that Li Jing would bring the medical soldiers directly to the front line.
With a stroke of the pen, the word "agree" jumped up.
At the same time, this request was also sent to the three provinces by Li Shimin alone.
After Wei Zheng saw it, he instantly understood everything behind it, and directly angrily wrote a note of impeachment of Li Jingcao and handed it over.
Li Shimin stayed in the middle and didn't send it, now is not the time to reprimand, let's talk about it when everything is over.
Things have to be done little by little, since Li Jing wants to defile himself, then Li Shimin will allow it.
Chai Shao received it from Chang'an, signed the holy decree of Li Shimin and the seal letter of the three provinces, and directly led Li Kuan's medical team that had been prepared long ago to set off.
As for the location of the station, he found a good location in the battle plan left by Li Jing, which was specially marked by Li Jing.
At the same time, the construction of field hospitals was quickly sent to other units.
The leading generals looked at the garrison site, which was not far or close to everyone's combat site, and complained one after another: "Chai Shao is worthy of being His Majesty's brother-in-law, and luck is good." ”
Only Li Tao, who was stationed in the field hospital, saw something else.
It wasn't far from the escape route they had left for Jieli.
If they want to pursue, they only need to turn a corner to go and replenish supplies.
Chai Shao was very puzzled by the large amount of food and supplies that Li Kuan had prepared for him, shouldn't this thing be sent to the logistics camp? Give it all to him, is it appropriate?
Yu Zhining said to Chai Shao in person with the most meaningful eyes: "The more the merrier." ”
