Before Li Yunze came, Tang Jun's food consisted mainly of Hu cakes and rice, which were used to provide enough calories.

In addition, you can also get sauce, vinegar, and salt as seasonings.

As for wine and meat, it is usually only eaten at the feast before the expedition.

Once the army is out on the march, the only way to get supplies of vegetables and meat is to raid places or spend money to buy them.

If the conditions are more difficult, even the sauce, vinegar and salt are difficult to be fully guaranteed.

If it is harder, it will be almost cut off from the grain road, and the millet and Hu cakes will not be eaten.

If you can't eat enough, you can't even wear a stomach of dozens of catties, let alone have the strength to fight.

Li Qian's "Taibai Yin Sutra" says very well, but in fact, those food standards can only be met when the banquet is given.

However, now, Cheng Yanjin and Li Yunze are sitting in the dining car, and there are four dishes and one soup on the table in front of them, all of which are packed in wooden lunch boxes.

Two meat and two vegetables, namely potatoes and beef, scrambled eggs, fried cabbage and fried radish.

The soup is naturally the most common egg drop soup.

The captains and sergeants on the train eat the same food, the difference is that they eat in the carriage and in the dining car.

This level of food, with some wine, is the standard of the emperor's banquet.

If you are marching on a snowy day, you can only eat cold cakes and drink snow water.

For example, there is a fire on the dining car, and there is a special big stove, a big iron pot and a big stove to make a lot of hot food.

Cheng Biting Jin had to sigh a few words, but Li Yunze was already impatient and said, "Don't say anything." ”

When it came to his mouth, he could only swallow it back.

After eating and drinking, Cheng Yanjin wiped his mouth and got up to inspect.

As for Li Yunze, he sat in the warm dining car, took out a book and read it leisurely.

The only reason why he came over this time was to completely remove the threat of the party Xiang Qiang, and never give Li Yuanhao a chance to issue a bald order.

The Tang people who were in the ascendant period didn't know this, and they all thought that these small tribes were too weak to be mentioned.

】

They didn't know what kind of destruction and slaughter these seemingly weak tribes would bring to the Middle-earth civilization in the future, but Li Yunze knew.

Even if there are countless parallel worlds, as long as he gets to one place, he has to do these things as a traverser.

Don't seek eternal admiration, just ask for a clear conscience.

It doesn't matter if Cheng Yanjin looks down on the party Xiang Qiang, Li Yunze just attaches importance to it.

The train was mainly used to transport troops, carrying more than 2,000 soldiers and a group of supplies, all the way west, and it took almost two days to reach Didao.

There were already party items in the vicinity of Di Dao, and they were very interested in Di Dao, who had hoarded a large amount of supplies.

"Put down this rebellion sooner."

Before Cheng Yanjin set off for Lanzhou, Li Yunze saw him off, "It's just the last part of the road, and the road repair of the war has stopped." The sooner it ends, the sooner the railway you have invested in will start to pay off. ”

"Do you still need to say it?" Cheng Yanjin looked at the construction site that was out of work not far away, and his face sank, "Leave it to the old man." ”

Train after train arrived at Didao, there were those transporting troops and logistics materials, and Li Yunze gave full play to his dispatching ability here to sort out the logistics work in an orderly manner.

As for the battle on the front line, when Cheng Yanjin arrived at the city of Lanzhou with the vanguard, the siege was lifted very easily.

After that, it is time to enter the army to chase and suppress.

In order to remove the threat of the party as soon as possible and let the railway with its own investment be completed as soon as possible and return to its original cost, Cheng Biting Jin was quite hardworking.

The Tang army attacked everywhere in the heavy snow, constantly exterminating the Qiang tribes one by one, and the action was not unfast.

It's just that Dang Xiangqiang lives in this area all year round and is extremely familiar with the terrain and environment.

They have been making trouble since the Han Dynasty, and the Han army has been strangled many times but has not been completely wiped out.

Although the Tang army had absolute superiority in all aspects, it was unable to eliminate these guerrillas who were familiar with the terrain in a short period of time.

Seeing that the battle was going on for a long time, Cheng bit the golden wind and dust, and rode his horse from Lanzhou City back to Didao.

"These gang of party members are like rats burrowing around in the mountains and forests." Finding Li Yunze, who was counting the cargo report, Cheng Biting Jin began to pour bitter water: "Our army is well-equipped, but it is very uncomfortable to wander around the mountains in the cold weather. ”

Li Yunze, who didn't raise his head, replied casually, "And then." ”

Cheng Yanjin paused, and then lowered his voice: "The old man wants to ask you to come up with an idea to see how to pacify these party items as soon as possible." ”

Putting down the pen in his hand, Li Yunze finally raised his head and looked at him with a smile, "Is it really that you can't think of a way?" ”

Cheng Yanjin is indeed not at the forefront among the famous generals in the early Tang Dynasty, but he is also fought among thousands of troops, how can he not deal with the bandit-like party Xiang Qiang.

If he really can't even handle the party Xiangqiang, then Li Er can't send him over.

Cheng Biting Jin smiled and said, "Naturally, you can fight, but the weather is too cold, the mountains are too deep, and the forests are too dense, so send a large army to fight deep into the mountains and forests, even if you can win, you will lose a lot." ”

"It's about wanting to win, and you want to win beautifully." Li Yunze also smiled, "Then I don't want to lose too much, and I will be laughed at after returning to Chang'an City." ”

"That's right."

Cheng Yanjin laughed and patted the table, "Those who know me, Zi Hou also." ”

In the face of the praise, Li Yunze reacted calmly, "You must have an idea, say it." ”

"You know." Cheng Yanjin explained, "In addition to Dang Xiangqiang, there are many other tribes here, and there are even some miscellaneous people who don't even know who they are. ”

"Like Dang Xiangqiang, they are very familiar with the environment here. The old man wanted to hire them as guides. ”

"Then hire." Li Yunze looked at him: "Do these miscellaneous beards dare to keep talking?" ”

"Listen to it, but there is no way to work hard, and their appetite is not small." Cheng Yanjin explained: "Not only do you want gold and silver goods, but also salt, cloth, and grain, and you have a big appetite. ”

Li Yunze rubbed his chin, and after a little thought, asked, "You haven't finished speaking, there is still something to do." ”

"Hahaha~~~"

Cheng Yanjin nodded again and again, "That's right, the old man still has an idea." I just want to hire these miscellaneous hustles to fight the party Xiang Qiang, in this case, the asking price is much higher than simply being a guide. I had to ask you for help from the logistics manager. ”

I want to win the fight, but I don't want to lose too many sergeants.

wants to find mercenaries to fight, but mercenaries are not fools, even if they are just a group of miscellaneous beards, it is impossible to really fight for their lives because of the name of Tian Khan.

If you want to impress them, you have to spend a lot of money.

The power that Cheng Yanjin can use is limited, so naturally he can only rely on the God of Wealth at this time.

"The soldiers of Datang are precious and cannot be thrown away easily."

Regarding Cheng Biting Jin's plan, Li Yunze agreed in principle, "Naturally, there is no need to say much about dealing with strong enemies, but dealing with these miscellaneous hues..."

Thinking of this, Li Yunze smiled slightly, "I support you." ”

Cheng Biting Jin breathed a long sigh of relief.

If Li Jing was here, he must have tried his best to find the nest of Dang Xiangqiang, and then the worse the weather, the more troops had to be dispatched, and they would be caught off guard.

If Li Tao is here, it must be all kinds of bad moves, and it will not be over if he doesn't kill Dang Xiangqiang.

And Wei Chi Jingde, who came to command the troops, needless to say, knew that he must have personally led the army into the mountains and forests to chase and kill him.

They will also pity the sergeant, but they will never give up their way of fighting because they pity the sergeant.

seems to be rough, but Cheng Yanjin, who is delicate and good at acting, can think of a lot of off-the-plate tricks.

"So be it."

After thinking for a while, Li Yunze knocked on the table, "You can notify the nearby departments and tell them to take the head of the party and Qiang, and they can come here in exchange for three hundred catties of grain, or fifty catties of salt, or thirty catties of sugar, or twenty pieces of cloth, or ten catties of spices, or five jars of wine." If it is brought alive, the reward will be doubled. ”

Cheng Biting Jin was dumbfounded, "You are really the God of Wealth, this price is too high!" Just a party item Qiang, where is it worth this equivalent code. ”

"Datang is not short of these things, and the price of grain and rice is only a few pennies. Not to mention salt, there are hundreds of salt drying fields built along the coastline on the Jiangdu side, and there are some in the sea. On the Lingnan side, Feng Ang has used almost half of his acres of land to grow sugarcane, and the harvest has been bumper every year in the past few years, which is not expensive at all. ”

"Now the Tang Dynasty has gradually banned the use of silk cloth as currency, and the previous imperial courts were all equivalent to recycling. I can't use it if I take it back, after all, there are more and more cotton cloths now, and piling them up is also a waste of insects and rats. Spices and stuff are cheap now, you don't need me to say more, you know. ”

Of course Cheng Yanjin understands, Datang's materials are becoming more and more abundant year by year, compared to the previous hard days, the current days are simply as happy as a fairy, at least I haven't heard of rumors of starving people for a long time.

It's just that Li Yunze's offer still makes Cheng Yanjin feel too extravagant.

These things may not be uncommon in Datang, even ordinary people's homes can now eat them.

But here in the Zahu tribe, it is something that the nobles of the tribe are not necessarily able to enjoy at will.

"I was going to give the money directly."

Li Yunze said with a smile, "I just think it will affect the morale of the army, so I changed it to materials." ”

If the money is given, then the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army will have to go crazy all over the mountains to find the party Xiangqiang.

They are not short of supplies, but they are always short of money.

Now if it is replaced with supplies, the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army are basically not rare.

Cheng Yanjin was naturally able to figure out this, but he was still a little uneasy, "No matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, and the fear of the army is unstable." ”

"Not really."

Li Yunze shook his head again and again, "It's a good thing that someone can take the initiative to risk their lives to help them fight." After all, it is impossible to give miscellaneous hus in terms of military merits, and it is still necessary to count them on the officers and soldiers of all armies. Do you think the soldiers care about these things? ”

Cheng Yanjin didn't care what the soldiers thought, he only cared about what the emperor thought.

If Li Er knew about this, it is estimated that there would be no good words, and the Tang Army would be able to fight in the future?

God is pitiful, Cheng Yanjin just wanted to find some mercenaries to help, and he really didn't think about using money to smash the party Xiang Qiang to death.

Seeing his concerns, Li Yunze said with a smile, "This is a special matter, if there is still one in the future, it will be when the Tang Army will conquer abroad." ”

Speaking of this, his gaze looked to the northeast, "When you fight Goguryeo, give thirty guan!" ”
