"Are there a lot of abandoned houses?" Li Daozong was a little surprised.

"It can't be said to be abandoned, it should be said to be vacant, during the previous war, this was the front line, so many people have already fled." Park Shin Jong said.

Li Daozong nodded, he probably knew where those beggars in the other party's country came from, and it was estimated that there were still many homeless people.

"Well, get ready to take over the open space of these people." Li Daozong nodded.

"That's it...... There may be some problems with food. "Park Shinjong is a little embarrassed, this is their own food is not much, the point is, Park Shinjong wants to find more food, he doesn't have it.

"How long will it last?"

"If there are about 20,000 people, it can last about a month." Park Shin-jong gave a very low answer.

"Let's do this first, take it one step at a time." Li Daozong thought about it for a while, and didn't say anything, now let's see the enemy's plans first.

What if the enemy wants to attack with a head iron? That might soon be the case.

The number of scouts in Datang is not much, mainly because the number of war horses transported is not much, so the purpose of these scouts is not to find out any advanced intelligence, the main purpose is to confirm the approximate location of the enemy's main force.

Just know that.

Anyway, in this era, there are no weapons for long-range strikes, and long-range weapons only have bows and arrows and crossbows, but the killing range is also limited, probably within a hundred meters.

And 100 meters, the scouts have seen everything, as long as your war horse is good enough, you can completely swing around the enemy.

So it is not difficult to detect the main forces of the enemy.

However, Li Daozong soon got the message from the scout.

"You mean that the enemy's march is slow, only about thirty miles a day?" Li Daozong looked at the scout with a confused expression and asked.

"Yes! Checkmate. ”

"Did the other party carry a baggage?" Li Daozong asked again.

"General Qiyu, no, at least I didn't see a large-scale baggage force, the other party is basically combat equipment, and the baggage should have a special transportation of baggage troops in the back." Scouts arrive quickly.

"They marched slowly, though, but the scouts were outnumbered, almost on all sides. We also bypassed each other's scouts several times to find them, and the other side's scouts were too dense. ”

"Even so, when we returned, we encountered the other party's scouts, but the other party did not chase after us, but followed us for a while at a distance of thirty or forty meters away from us and retreated."

After listening to what this scout said, Li Daozong understood that this should be the order of the other party's commander, or rather, this Yu Ling is a bit interesting.

With such a slow march and an extremely large number of scouts, it meant that a sneak attack was almost impossible.

Although they were not prepared to attack at all, they were just prepared to defend, but the opponent naturally had no problem doing so.

This extremely steady marching speed obviously has only one purpose, and does not want to give the enemy any opportunity to take advantage of it.

That is to say, the other party is seeking stability, and there is no hurry at all.

In other words, Li Daozong quickly thought of the other party's purpose and consumed their heavy grain and grass.

The extra 10,000 troops actually put pressure on Silla and Baekje, and in the eyes of the outside world, the arrival of the Tang army here must be the Silla Baekje to provide money, grain and grass.

Besides, when the Tang army arrives here, it is naturally impossible to just eat and drink enough? You should have to pay some money, right? Otherwise, Silla Baekje can't go on.

That's why the other party will come up with this method.

But Goguryeo also had hundreds of thousands of troops, and their self-sustaining ability was much stronger than that of Silla Baekje.

It consumes the national strength and baggage of Silla and Baekje, so the speed naturally does not need to be too fast, and the other is to test the reaction of the Tang Dynasty.

And for a long time, the Datang soldiers have been in a foreign land, and the spiritual consumption is also consumption.

Yes, this Yu Ling is not a straw bag, it seems that there are some real materials among these generals in Goguryeo.

If this was the previous Datang, it is estimated that it would definitely not be able to consume, not to mention anything else, it was not realistic for the Datang Dynasty to wait in one place for a long time just because of the government military system.

After a long time, it has consumed a lot of Datang domestically, but now Datang is different, and now it can be said that raising these 10,000 people is ...... It's drizzling.

It's not even just these 10,000 people, Datang can raise ten times this 10,000 people.

The amount of grain that can be transported by a large number of transport ships is staggering.

Tsk, they will know this news sooner or later, after all, Datang has never been like this, and I don't know how Goguryeo should look at this when the time comes?

Anyway, I'm here in the Tang Dynasty, it's just to stabilize the situation, and if there is no war, it will naturally be stable.

I'm not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?

As for the people? It's not too much of a problem.

Li Daozong squinted his eyes slightly, but there are only thirty or forty thousand people, and the Tang Dynasty can feed it, according to the actual situation on the Silla side, a pound of food per day can make them willing, and they are grateful to Dade for his work until they are old.

Not to mention that now you can earn more in a day.

Let the scout continue to investigate, and Li Daozong's side is also ready to see the other party's reaction, and then go directly to the next step.

No matter how slow the speed is, as long as it is progressing gradually, there will be a day when it will be reached.

Looking at the county seat in front of him, and about three or four miles away from the county seat, dense branches appeared on the ground, and these branches were still tied with a thin strip of red cloth.

It's about the size of an adult's finger, and it's stuck on a branch, which is very conspicuous.

"What is this?" When he first saw this, Yu Ling was really a little confused.

"General, it's a horse trap." A forward general immediately said with a wry smile.

"What?" Yu people are confused, trapped in the pit? Of course he knows what it is, don't use it for horses' legs, but the question is, what is the operation of digging this thing up and inserting branches and red cloth strips to remind it?

"Both?" Yu Ling was unbelievable.

"Yes, I've had people check at least a thousand, all of them, and the point is...... This was only part of the story, one of our scouts' horses had been cut off, and the pit was empty of branches and red cloths. The forward general said with a wry smile.

Yu Ling; “……”

What kind of disgusting operation is this? He probably understands that the enemy has dug a trap, and normally it must be hidden, but when you find out, you will be careful.

And the disgusting thing about the other party is that he has put a mark in the pit, but ...... There are unmarked ones, when you dodge them...... You risk falling into unmarked.

You have to be more careful not to say anything, you have to take almost one step at a time, and even worse, the marks sometimes attract your attention......

It's disgusting, isn't it?
