Raising food also requires skill.

It's not that if you have money and a mountain of gold, you can buy grain and grass, especially when you go to war.

As soon as the cannon sounded, there were 10,000 taels of gold, which was definitely not empty words, but the most orthodox strategy of war.

Fighting a war is not only about the command of the generals and the bravery of the soldiers, but also about the support of the people, the materials in their hands, and the various transportation channels.

Li Xunhuan did the latter two things.

1. Find channels to buy supplies.

2. Ensure that the channels for transporting food and wages are unimpeded.

In fact, Chang Mao has worked hard all these years, and Suzhou Wei has stored a huge amount of materials, which can support the army to fight for a long time, but this does not mean that there is no need to buy.

Zhu Biao wanted to take advantage of this battle to find the most convenient channel and the smoothest transportation channel for the border army.

Buying from a small country in the Western Regions nearby, with low loss, convenient transportation, cheap price, and most importantly, it can enhance the control of the Ming Dynasty over the Western Regions, which has been chaotic for thousands of years, and has long been war-weary.

After this battle, the Ming Dynasty followed the example of the Tang Dynasty and established the Anxi Protectorate and the Yanqi Protectorate here, and then mediated disputes in the name of "Tian Khan" to reduce chaos, coupled with the huge wealth brought by the Silk Road......

Even if some small countries have the intention to rebel, the people will definitely not agree, this matter will require countless efforts, but it can be exchanged for hundreds of years of peace in the border area, the creation of a trade road that will benefit thousands of years, and even the unification of the Western Regions.

This is definitely a groundbreaking feat.

Another advantage is that it forms a counter-encirclement of Tibet and indirectly affects the situation in Tibet.

Due to the advantages of the geographical environment, Tubo cannot be defeated in a conventional way, and the strategy for Tubo has been laid out for seven or eight years, which has indirectly affected many people.

For example, Harumachi.

Kumazhi's martial arts adventures in the Central Plains, the princes and nobles he befriended, the occasional beatings, and intermittent Buddhist epiphanies were not all heavenly luck.

The more it seems to be an accident, the more likely it is to be calculated.

Shen Lian didn't know about these things, Shen Lian was busy buying grain and grass and completing the "Carrying Plan".

The forces marked by Li Xunhuan are all forces that express friendship and respect for the Ming Dynasty, giving them gold, silk, porcelain, tea, and salt, so that they can become stronger and set an example for other forces.

Doing business, the Shen family is the best at it.

Although Shen Lian never participated in the family business, relying on the Shen family's caravan in the Western Regions and the huge amount of gold left by Ying Shuntian, he quickly raised a large amount of grain and grass.

Some of the gold was sent to the Sword Casting City, where the craftsmen of the Sword Casting City were recast and cast into portable ingots, gold bars, or ornaments such as gold hairpins and bracelets.

On the one hand, take care of Sword Casting City, let Sword Casting City quickly get out of decline, and find new trade routes for them.

On the one hand, the gold is cleaned up, so much gold is piled up in the warehouse, sooner or later there will be problems, the gold brick ingots will be transported back to Jinling, and the rest will be rewarded to the three armies.

It is obviously multi-line parallel, but under Shen Lian's precise scheduling, it goes hand in hand, and there is no stagnation.

On the one hand, Shen Lian's ability is indeed very strong.

On the one hand, it is the prestige of Daming, Li Xunhuan's hard work, and Liu Changjie's two-year undercover agent.

Fighting a war is definitely not a one-man affair.

Working together, the more the merrier, is the king.

Shen Lian and Li Xunhuan were busy, staying up late and working overtime every day, and even sleeping in the study.

The martial arts forces that were suppressed by Shen Lian, seeing that Shen Lian had no time to deal with them, the eyes of the Ming delegation also turned to Suzhou, and they immediately began to make trouble.

Of course, they knew that this was very dangerous, and they also knew that at this time, if there was something wrong and stimulated Da Ming's nerves, it would not be Shen Lian who came, but the elite iron cavalry of Suzhou Wei led by Shi Yanwen.

Although Shen Lian is fierce, he is very reasonable.

Shi Yanwen was reasonable when he wore a Confucian robe, but if he angrily pulled out the sword at his waist, it would not be how far he could run, but how far he wouldn't be able to run at all!

So what?

This is the best opportunity.

The Demon Sword Relic who happily admitted defeat got a reward from Shen Lian and a pass from the Ming Dynasty, and could cooperate with the Shen family's caravan on multiple levels.

This is the greatest advantage of Guan Yutian.

Win, win neatly.

Lose, lose above board.

Don't quibble, don't make excuses, don't roll around and flip the table, and admit defeat happily.

Since you lose, accept your defeat.

Losers are not necessarily without benefits.

Now he has a long-lasting treasure.

——A long stream of water is king!

The gold in the warehouse will attract covetousness, and the Supreme Alliance has no power to help with that kind of background, if the major forces unite to fight for it, they will definitely not be able to hold it.

The business of the Silk Road, back and forth, has at least twenty times the profit, as long as it is managed well, there will be no shortage of money for tens or hundreds of years after that.

Of course, Guan Yutian understood this truth, so he personally presided over various businesses, and his bold personality, coupled with his family heritage of 500 years, soon opened up the latest trade routes and shipped goods to Roman Persia.

Like God, these days are getting more and more depressed.

A person like him, who calculates the fate of the qi all day long, although it is difficult to calculate himself, he keenly feels that his fortune and fate have fallen to the bottom.

Goshawk Fort was destroyed by Li Shenzhou.

The Supreme Alliance was firmly controlled by Guan Yutian, and the benefits that Shen Lian sent to the door greatly increased Guan Yutian's strength.

The green dragon will leave him immediately, thinking that he can use his strength to drive the tiger and wolf, but the yellow finch is behind, but he didn't expect those dragon heads to ignore him at all.

Although the treasure of the Demon Sword Relic Clan is good, the dragon head of the Qinglong will be alive, and no one really cares about gold.

Even if he cared, he didn't dare to compete with Shen Lian.

Not to mention Li Shenzhou, as soon as the god set up the chessboard and took one step as the first cannon, Li Shenzhou did not jump on the horse, but waved his hand and lifted the table.

You are like a god, you are really good at counting, I don't know if you can count the Heavenly Fury Sword in Li Da's hand?

No, I'm going to cut you!

After many calculations and failures, there is only one last way left for God, and that is the mastery of Tianjimen.

The name of this peerless school is "Dream Wuji", because he came out of the door like a god, he has not been inherited, and he doesn't like to practice martial arts, and thinks that wisdom is more important.

Now he finally understands that in the face of reckless men like Li Shenzhou and Shen Lian who do not abide by the "rules", there is no point in setting up the chessboard, and picking the chessboard is the king.

Tianjimen talent withered, "Dream Wuji" in the hands of the younger brother Huangfu Changhate, this person is good at whipping, it is said that he has some friendship with Xuruowu, usually like God does not want to deal with him, but now he has to take the initiative to find the door.

In addition, the abbot of Juezen Temple is a hundred miles away from evil, proficient in the Western Regions "Heavenly Providence Four Elephant Decision", which is quite similar to the combination of the Quartet Xuangong of the Sifang Gate, all of which are to control the power of wind, fire, thunder and lightning, and want to "borrow" like a god.

What will the Blue Dragon do?

They were discussing business with the Jade Rakshasas.

Qinglong will risk being killed by Shen Lian and come to the Western Regions to carry out a mission, and he will definitely make back his profits.

There are as many benefits as there are risks.

These discussions were quite secretive, and no one knew what they were talking about, because there were no spies, and they could observe the Supreme Grand Master up close, and if they could do this, what else would he do? Who would let such a person be a spy?

The final move came from the Power Gang.

Li Shenzhou has already dealt with the internal losses and is preparing to expand his power externally, not to attack externally, but to recruit talents from the Western Regions and make more allies.

Both Fang Yeyu and Zhen Sushan are unreliable.

Although the Western Regions Demon Sect is an evil dragon, the nine sons of the dragon are different, some are loyal, and some are secretly treacherous in their hearts, this is Li Shenzhou's opportunity.

Li Shenzhou's chosen ally was named Ge Shutian.

He is the chief protector of the Western Regions Demon Sect, above 10,000 people under one person within the sect, and has great power, not only proficient in the Demon Gate Xuangong, but also proficient in divination and calculation.

Li Shenzhou is a heroic figure, so he can see at a glance that Ge Shutian will never be resigned to others, and he is the best ally when there are interests involved.

The two hit it off and discussed cooperation.

There is also information, the protector of the Demon Palace, who has white hair and red face, has defected for some reason, and is missing.

Many martial arts forces in the Western Regions have launched their actions either openly or covertly, as if a tornado swept in, followed by a small whirlwind, and every war can cause all kinds of chaos, and the Western Regions will certainly not be an exception.

All kinds of information were sent to Shen Lian one after another, Shen Lian was busy and dizzy, and said in his heart, Second Senior Brother, these things are handed over to you, and they will be sent directly to Liu Changjie.

……

"White clouds are floating in the sky~

The people on the ground are busy~

I'm for a chivalrous tenderness~

Wandering around......"

Shen Lian escorted the raised grain and grass, humming a song to Suzhou, Li Xunhuan was originally a messenger, and now he is the chief bookkeeper of the army, responsible for recording account expenditures.

There's no way, he's the only one who shows off, and the literary affairs must be his, do you want Shen Lian to do it?

Jin Bingyun followed Shen Lian's side, listening to Shen Lian's humming ballad, and couldn't help but dismantle the stage: "Husband, who did it this time?" Is it still Guo Juxia? ”

"No, this is when Zhao Yinghao, the head of the Central Plains Dart Bureau, heard the song created by the small song of the mountain village, when the Central Plains Dart Bureau dart, in addition to shouting Hewu, he will also entertain himself."

"I have heard for a long time that Zhao Yinghao has a straightforward personality and is recognized as the leader of the dart game, but I didn't expect to compose music, and the evaluation given by the master is still missing!"

Jin Bingyun glanced at Shen Lian, and said in his heart, can you find a better excuse? Dumping Zhao Yinghao, it is better to dump Li Xunhuan, this may be more ......

- even more inappropriate!

Li Xunhuan is a talented Tanhualang, who writes poems and writes songs, and must be brilliant, although this tune is good, it is just a small song in the countryside.

Shen Lian cheekily nodded: "Your master is not omnipotent, there are always things she doesn't know." ”

"Will the husband have other songs?"

"Yes, my cousin Shen Lang did it."

"Has Li Tanhua ever made a tune?"

"Tsk~ He doesn't know anything about music!"

Li Xunhuan: (ω'll)

You two are flirting, can you not take me with you?

I'm busy, okay!

If you are really idle, you can help me deal with official business, and you will have a sore back when you are tired of keeping it.

……

The three armies did not move, and the grain and grass went first.

Burning grain is one of the oldest, most effective, and most demoralizing tactics, and the fire that Boss Cao ignited in Wuchao was a nightmare that Yuan Shao X never forged.

Therefore, the responsibilities of the grain transport officer are very important.

Especially in a world where martial arts are abundant, not only do you need to be meticulous, but you also need to be very good at fighting.

The famous Yang Jian, whose main responsibility in Xiqi is to transport grain, and killing the enemy in battle is a sideline.

Zhu Biao asked Shen Lian to transport grain, which was to know people and make good use of them.

Shen Lian is rigorous and meticulous, very capable of fighting, good at squad combat, not good at commanding thousands of troops.

"Wow!"

Ah Jin let out a loud roar from mid-air.

Shen Lian ordered: "Be careful, there may be people who come to rob the grain, and there are about three hundred people who come, all of them are elite light horses, carrying fire oil rockets with them." ”

Li Xunhuan said curiously: "With an eagle's cry, you know so much information?" How? ”

"This is my code for Ah Jin and me, transmitting the enemy's information by flying and shouting, and the latter part is my reasoning, they must have sharpshooters."

"Why?"

"Because Ah Jin has always been flying at high altitudes."

The steppe aliens grew up on horseback since childhood, and they are all good at cross-legging horses and bows, especially good at riding and archery, and warriors who bend bows and shoot eagles will be revered by the tribe.

At the beginning, Pang Ban chased Shen Lian, if he had brought a bow and arrows with him, Shen Lian would have to pay at least three times the price if he wanted to escape safely, and he was beaten with only one breath left.

Shen Lian's pet has long been no secret.

A BMW crescent moon with super endurance.

Rhubarb, a greyhound, with a keen sense of smell.

The manned flight of the Condor Ah Jin.

Seeing Ah Jin flying at a high altitude, they knew that they had been exposed, and immediately led the army to kill.

"Whoosh!"

Arrows rained down on the convoy.

The riding and archery of the steppe people is really powerful.

From the point of view of bows and arrows, there was a gap between the Central Plains cavalry and Warat, so they chose to use bows and crossbows.

Under the command of Shen Lian, the elite soldiers of the grain transportation team took out their crossbows and attacked the Wara cavalry, and the Jinyi guards erected fine steel shields to form fortifications.

Shen Lian's shoulders moved slightly, Gu Wen popped out of the iron box on his back, and the crescent moon shook his front hooves, assuming a charging posture, ready to charge at any time.

The cavalry charged extremely fast, firing three rounds, and was already approaching, Shen Lian's legs were slightly forced, and the crescent moon received the signal and rushed towards the enemy.

"Shen Lian is here, who dares to fight with me!"

"Shen Lian is here, who dares to fight with me!"

"Shen Lian is here, who dares to fight with me!"

Shen Lian shouted loudly, his voice was like a tiger's roar, and Gu Wen crossed the poignant trajectory and pierced through three throats.

"Wow, yes, yes~~ Shen Lianxiu is going to be rampant, I am the general Ma Yizan under the Khan's seat, let me take off your head and make the first feat!"

Ma Yizan laughed wildly and rushed over.

Shen Lian didn't answer, his legs passed the message, and the crescent moon moved two feet sideways, passing by Ma Yizan.

Shen Lian continued to kill.

Ma Yizan fell to the ground.

But at the moment when the two horses staggered, Shen Lian put Gu Wen in front of his throat, and Gu Wen pierced his throat with the help of inertia, flew out of the back of his neck, and fell back into Shen Lian's hands, leaving only a transparent hole!

Yutai Jingming once said that Shen Lian's most charming moment was definitely charging with a gun.

It's an indescribable charm!

It was an indescribable shock.

That is the brave, arrogant, and domineering that can make men's blood boil and women cry!

Thousands of armies are changing, and the momentum is like a bamboo.

Wherever the spear goes, all the enemies fall to the ground! (End of chapter)
