In mid-November, the north wind became more and more fierce, and there were dead leaves in the wind, sometimes mixed with raindrops, which made people feel even more chilly. Everyone was already white, autumn was gone, and winter was approaching. The soldiers began to wear thick clothes and looked very bloated.
One room of carboniferous is burning brightly, and the flames are constantly hitting the bottom of the pot, and the bottom of the pot is purring and the water is about to boil.
Yang Dong took a sniffle, and his third brother said that the food cooked in this way was delicious, but why didn’t you put the food in? He scratched his head and felt a little hungry.
Yang Lan, after all, is older and holding him in his hand seems to be no matter how wonderful the food is, it’s not cute.
Yang You’s side was full of excitement. He didn’t expect that there was pepper in the tax payment and specialty of Nanning General Administration this time. Of course, this kind of pepper is different from later generations. It is particularly small but spicy.
It is said that some people in the forest of Dongcuan Mountain got spicy food, but they felt very excited. When Ran Anchang arrived here, he felt very novel when he heard this story, so he seized the opportunity to present it. Ran Anchang really didn’t want to stay in this bird-less place. He wanted to go back to Beijing and live a so-called aristocratic life, so as to show that he had become a Han Chinese instead of a barbarian reviled by everyone.
Xiao Yu, who is well-informed about Chili peppers, and Wei Yunqi, who has been to Nanning’s general manager’s office, don’t know this thing, so they gave it to Yang You. Please take a look at what it is. Yang You got excited when he saw it.
It’s not just because I like to eat Chili peppers, but because the local climate is humid and miasma, eating Chili peppers can sweat and eliminate body moisture to a certain extent.
Carboniferous and iron mines in Zhangyou County and Nanning General Manager’s Office have been in operation and need a lot of manpower.
Yang You has solved the problem of miasma to a certain extent, that is, eating the fruit produced by a local shrub called Rosa roxburghii specialty. It is said that Zhuge Kong once made great efforts to solve the problem that Shu Han army was not used to miasma when he conquered Meng Huo.
Yang You has been tried and proved to be effective, but the problem of heavy humidity still makes soldiers suffer greatly. Now with pepper, the problem of humidity can be solved to some extent.
Yang You intends to let the villagers in Nanning’s general manager’s office plant more, but in order to encourage the pepper harvest to be purchased by the government at a fixed price, once the people have tasted the sweetness and realized the benefits, the government can let go.
Yang You has sent several agricultural captains to improve pepper varieties and promote them in the shortest time, so that Sui Jun South Road will become faster.
The wat in that cauldron finally boiled, and Yang You put the pepper treated with vegetable oil into the pot. A choking smell rolled in the cauldron of red pepper powder and immediately filled the whole house.
Yang Dong coughed a few times. Is this delicious? At this time, Yang Lan put his hand in it and asked very seriously, "Why doesn’t the third brother Li Yuanji send troops?"
Yang Dong smell speech also looked up at Yang You very puzzled. According to the so-called news, Li Yuanji has arrived at about 30,000 troops, but why hasn’t he sent troops to Wu for more than half a month? Although the armed forces didn’t go for food and grass first, according to the news, the puppet Tang Dynasty was going to hoard a lot of food for 30 thousand troops for three months
Every day when the army travels, food will be consumed. Is there much food in Li Yuanji?
Yang You was almost ready at this moment. He smiled, sat down and took a deep breath. The choking smell of pepper reached the lungs through the nasal cavity, and Yang You could not help but be intoxicated.
"Eldest brother, second brother, be calm. Although Li Yuanji is a child, he must be careful before leaving."
"Moreover, there is a characteristic of Li Yuan’s leading troops. He likes to let the Li clan coach master the troops and then let some soldiers who are proficient in leading troops assist him."
Speaking of which, Yang You couldn’t help but smile. Tang gaozu was really careful. He grasped the importance of soldiers in vain, but it was because of this that there were advantages and disadvantages. For example, Li Daoxuan died like this.
"Li Yuanji is a stubborn man with a very strong possessiveness. Now he stays put not because he can persuade him, but because he knows that it is not the best time yet."
As he spoke, Yang You stirred the soup with a spoon, and the spicy taste in the room became heavier. Yang Dong and Yang Xian listened carefully.
Yang You told Xiao Guiduan to put the hard-to-cook things into the pot first. At this time, Yang You sighed in his heart, "It’s a pity that there are no potatoes."
"What is not the best time?" Yang Jie finally asked Yang Dong and looked at Yang You with an expression.
By this time, the water was boiling. Yang You picked up a piece of sliced mutton and scalded it in the cauldron. The mutton quickly rolled up and became dark red, almost instantly cooked.
Yang You put mutton rolls into his mouth and ate Yang Xian and Yang Dong. They looked at Yang You and enjoyed it very much. Is it so delicious?
"Why aren’t you hungry?" Yang You glanced at the two men and continued to eat. They each put a piece of mutton in the cauldron, and boiling water washed the mutton. Soon a fragrance filled the tip of the nose.
At this moment, Yang You smiled, and he continued, "Although I designed Li Yuanji to mistake our troops for Poyang Lake and suffered heavy losses, I had to withdraw military forces from Nanyang to support Jiangling. Even if I succeeded in deceiving Li Yuanji, he would certainly not rashly invade."
"The reason is very simple. Even if our army has just withdrawn, it is still very close to Nanyang in the south. Once Li Yuanji is south, our army will respond and immediately return to the army to fight back."
"Li Yuanji and other important armies have already confronted Lin Shihong when they arrived in Jiangling in the south, and a large number of troops have been contained by Chu. At that time, it is the best time for Li Yuanji to invade again."
Yang You said slowly that the two brothers were not idiots and soon understood the truth. Li Yuanji’s plan was not to recklessly but to avoid sharpness, which was in line with the gist of the art of war. He could not be said to be despicable. If his brother calculated Li Yuanji, it would be despicable. Of course, the two did not dare to say.
"But the weather is getting colder and colder. I’m afraid it’s not easy to be colder this year than last year!" Yang Dong said.
"Although the soldiers are not easy, it is reasonable to take Xiyang County and attack Nanyang Basin if Tang Jun is dominant."
"The pseudo-Tang and pseudo-Zheng have joined forces, and their forces are even stronger. If I didn’t guess wrong, they must be Li Yuanji’s attack on Xiangyang, Wang Shichong and Nanyang, which made our army unable to support each other."
"Even if there is heavy snow at that time, although it is inconvenient for them to transport food, it is also difficult for our army to go north. It is not difficult for them to break Xiangyang and Nanyang properly and reasonably."
Yang You said slowly, but with a smile and a long-lost spicy feeling, he was very happy with the tip of his tongue.
Yang Xian Yang Dong carefully sent the mutton roll to the import. A pungent smell made them frown. This smell is more spicy than cumin. Yang Xian couldn’t help but end up drinking tea.
Yang You ha ha smiled and added, "Once they take the Nanyang Basin as a result of heavy snow, they can get a longer nap time to digest the fruits of victory".
Consciously, Yang Xian swallowed and said, "What should I do?"
Yang You laughed and said, "Cold salad!" I was eating vegetables from the cauldron.
Yang Lan and Yang Dong once again looked at each other and saw that their brothers were full of confidence, but he didn’t say that they could stop eating food. At first, they didn’t adapt. Later, they found that it was getting hotter and hotter, so the weather was even more comfortable. They couldn’t help but take off their coats and throw them aside and continue to eat.
At this time, Wu Li Yuanji was pacing in the cold wind, and the strong breeze blew her hair back.
Li Yuanji’s delay in the invasion was really inspired by Tang gaozu, and Li Jiancheng also talked to his brother. He told Li Yuanji Bai that if he wanted to continue to master the soldiers, then this war would be successful. Then the Datang soldiers might be taken away by Li Shimin.
Li Yuanji is naturally not a good product, and he has his own considerations. The king of Qin is just a thorn in his side, but he also knows very well that Taihe and the king of Qin have their own advantages. Too many people in the imperial court have the support of hundreds of officials, and the king of Qin relies on brilliant military achievements.
Frankly speaking, if two people fight against Li Yuanji, they are still optimistic about the king of Qin. After all, the army is the most important thing these days, but with the support of his father, the odds are still great. Li Yuanji aims to earn more military achievements so that he can fight against the king of Qin in the court.
Once the king of Qin is defeated, the situation that the king of Chu is young and his king is mostly a child becomes too self-fighting. Hum, Li Yuanji snorted in his heart. He must have been so forbearing that he didn’t know his plan.
Once it’s too subtle, the whole Datang will be his Li Yuanji! At the thought of this, a cruel smile appeared on Li Yuanji’s face, and nothing in his eyes was worth anything!
Just as he was thinking about it, Xie Shufang hurried over and bowed his hand and said, "There’s news from Sui Jun in the King’s Palace of Qi!"
Chapter 516 invasion!
The west wind roared and heard Xie Shufang’s voice. Li Yuanji waved his hand and told him that Qinbing around him was leaving Xie Shufang.
Li Yuanji gathered her sleeve face and finally smiled. He stopped at Sui Jun Fraudulent Institute in Xiyang County. One was to continue to observe the situation, and the other was to wait for news.
Now, I have successfully contacted Xiangyang, but after several days of observation, I found that Xiangyang City is in a panic, and a large number of troops are mobilizing to go south gradually, and thousands of grain have been carried all the way south by civilian workers.
Exploring the streets, restaurants, gambling dens and other places, the result is that Danshui County got the news that the battlefield of Poyang Lake in Sui Jun was hit hard, and tens of thousands of troops were burnt into coke overnight and became fish food in Poyang Lake.
Due to the situation, Sui Jun had to deploy troops from Nanyang basin to suppress Lin Shihong, and tens of thousands of Sui Jun were transferred to Jiangling, so the troops in Nanyang basin were empty.
Li Yuanji couldn’t help but blow his face with his fists and smile. Father said that the weather is getting colder now. According to common sense, it is not a time for soldiers, especially when the martial arts road is relatively narrow from Chang ‘an. If it is snowy, don’t say that food transportation is inconvenient, even soldiers marching is very inconvenient.
However, there are disadvantages and advantages, and soldiers can also have a surprise effect in winter. The thought of being weak before the troops in Nanyang Basin and possibly taking Li Yuanji at any time is particularly exciting. He asked a few low questions and answered them one by one.
The total strength of Nanyang basin is less than 10,000 in Xiangyang, 4,000 in Nanyang and 4,000 in other counties. Can such strength defend Datang Julian Waghann? Li Yuanji narrowed his eyes and smirked.
He hurried to the head of Wucheng and returned to the government office. He quickly summoned people such as Liu Zhenghui, Jiang Mo, Muluo, Li Anyuan and others to come in succession. Suddenly, the hall was crowded with people. When Li Yuanji announced that he was preparing to invade, people seemed very excited.
In particular, Jiang Mo, Mu Luobian and others were smiling. Most of the Qin kings sent troops with Liu Hongji, Yin Kaishan and Duan Zhixuan who used to follow Li Yuan. Later, as the Qin king grew stronger, he had his own confidants, such as Fang Xuanling, Wei Chijingde and Xunping.
Liu Zhenghui, Jiang Mo and others are old ministers. Although they have the first meritorious service, with the war, their contributions are gradually buried by Yin Kaishan, Liu Hongji and others. If they still can’t earn enough contributions, they will become old people and get nothing cheap in the new court after the reunification of the Tang Dynasty.
This time, Li Yuan’s willingness to let them attack is an opportunity for everyone. If we can seize this opportunity, we will get more benefits, not only the official position, but also the salary. If we do well, we will get the title, which is a good thing to protect our wives.
Li Yuanji’s voice just fell and Liu Zhenghui said, "We are all ready to send troops tomorrow."
Li Yuanji was stunned that these guys were more anxious than me and immediately waved, "In this case, if someone drags his hind legs, he must kill him to sacrifice the flag!"
The generals cheered and then scattered and rushed to the barracks. The order was immediately spread all over Tang Jun Camp. All the soldiers were prepared with food, equipment and thick clothes, which were indispensable things.
Just as Tang Jun was preparing, a homing pigeon went up into the sky in a corner of Wu and flew towards the southeast. At dusk, Han Shihuang looked at the homing pigeon leg wax pill and reached for it. After reading it carefully, he walked out of Danshui County with the last hundreds of soldiers in the middle of the night.
Early the next morning, Li Yuanji led troops to fight Wu, and he left an-yuan Li to stay behind Wu Liu Zhenghui, Jiang Mo, Mu Luo Zhai and others to follow him. Among them, 3,000 people led by Mu Luo Zhai led the troops all the way towards Danshui County.
Although there is not much information in Sui Jun, Xiyang County, Li Yuanji has been instructed by his father and eldest brother this time, and he is also eager to make contributions. He is very careful. The scouts are full of wings and will send news every quarter of an hour.
Among the generals, Liu Zhenghui once participated in World War I in Yang You and had a certain understanding of Yang You. However, due to Yang You’s strict news blockade, Yang You has accompanied his grandmother back to Chengdu after defeating Yu Culture.
Liu Zhenghui seems that since Sui Jun’s commander is not Yang You, things will be much easier. Of course, Liu Zhenghui, a strategist, is cautious or very satisfied with Li Yuanji, the king of Qi. This is the general style. It seems that the king of Qi will be the most able to lead troops in the royal family after Qin.
The army is walking slowly, and there should be an array of weapons flashing with cold light. Although it has not been drawn out, it has revealed a sense of murder. The whole army appears to be imposing, while Danshui is more than 30 ships, and except for 15 warships, it is a grain transport ship. It can greatly save manpower and animal power to transport grain.
Li Yuanji rode a tall horse, dressed in a light armor and a silver helmet, looking heroic. There was a stable hanging behind the horse stock, which was his best weapon.
The sun rises gradually. Half an hour later, the army walks out of the village, which is also in Li Yuanji’s interest. Li Yuanji is very slow. The troops in Baidanshui County are less than one hour earlier and one hour later. There is not much difference. Li Yuanji believes that Danshui County can’t play tricks. The pioneer Muluo blocked the main road. Then tens of thousands of troops arrived in Danshui County, and there were two choices: one was to surrender and the other was waiting to be breached.
No matter what kind of choice, the result is the same. That is, he took the first step to succeed in occupying Danshui County in Li Yuanji, and then attacked Nanxiang County to further bring Xiyang County into the sphere of influence of Datang.
Just as Li Yuanji squinted and thought about when a fast horse rushed through the layers of soldiers, Liu Zhenghui squinted for a while and said, "The temple is the Muro Department!"
