Chapter 492 Father and Son Conversation
The mobilization before the war was done very well. In just two days, no less than 150,000 taels of silver and 100,000 taels of supplies were raised.
The farmer knew about this and carried a shoulder pole into the city and donated the food for his family for a month.
Later, Qin Mo banned them from donating food for the whole family. He knew very well that the real difficulty of working hard was still ahead!
"Dad, open the granary at home and donate half of it!" Qin Mo said.
"You are stupid. That 80,000 stone of grain is the guarantee of the whole clan. You say that it will be a drought soon. This year will definitely be a year of food shortage!" Qin Xiangru said.
"I just inform you that I have asked someone to donate the food!" Qin Mo said.
"What? You prodigal son!" Qin Xiangru slapped Qin Mo in the head in anger, "Who told you to take your own initiative?"
Qin Mo covered his head, "Dad, this battle must be very dangerous!
The most uncomfortable thing for a person in his life is that he has lost his money and has no money spent!"
"What you said... fart, this time it will definitely be fine, and it may not be possible to fight." Qin Xiangru said: "Do you still remember the plan you mentioned to split the Huns?"
"Remember!"
"I went there to open a border market and collected a lot of people. Although Maodun unified the grassland, he did not have a single heart.
Even the Hun tribe was not united. The informant over there came news that there was a problem within the Huns. Our goal was to take back the land of Nine Curves and welcome Princess Jing'an back.
The court is still too poor and has too many things to worry about. Fighting a protracted war will bring about the old capital accumulated over ten years."
"So, the imperial court is mainly using my method to deal with the Huns, with division as the main and invasion as the auxiliary?"
"Yes!" Qin Xiangru slapped Qin Mo in the head again, "You are smart and you know how to give the credit to King Yue. Now they all think it was the idea that King Yue came up with."
"Dad, just talk and beat me up. This idea was originally made by Li Yue!"
"Dad still doesn't know what kind of character you are? Don't worry, you didn't make any mistakes, and dad won't beat you!"
"Then I donate food, aren't you angry?"
"I'm so angry, don't you keep half of it? 40,000 stones of food is enough for our entire tribe to eat until next year, and our land has not been affected by the disaster. This is another 10,000 or 20,000 stones of food!"
Qin Mo scratched his head, "So, this time I'm going to be a formality?"
"You can't say that you go through the motions. Tubo is disobedient. This battle is inevitable. The main reason is that the Thunder Army gave His Majesty the confidence." Qin Xiangru said: "If you go to the battle, you can hide behind. Don't go to the front line, do you know?
As long as you complete the task, you will make great contributions. Your contributions are even greater than Li Cun’s merits. You should not be greedy for merits.
Your Majesty asks you what you want, and you want a beautiful woman. I have already explained it to let your clan brothers make more mistakes.
Anyway, if you are dying, you will be a duke. One door is two doors, it is a little dazzling, but it doesn’t matter. After this battle, my father will die and accompany your aunt to give birth, and cultivate your sister well!"
"You're so sure you're a sister?"
"Nonsense, I have a very good sense of feeling. What should I do if I have so many sons? If I can make contributions like you, will I still live?"
"Old Qin, you are inflated!"
Qin Xiangru looked proud, "Okay, get out of here, I'll set out in two days, you can explain everything you have.
However, your marriage will be delayed."
Qin Mo nodded. The female family members at home were in a very depressed mood these days, and Qin Xiuying was caught by him and cried several times.
It’s really not pretentious. In the era of cold weapons, war is very cruel.
Qin Mo also knew very well that if he wanted to quickly conquer Tubo, the Thunder Army was the top priority.
He came to the Thunder Army camp.
A large number of grenades and shells were loaded onto the carriage, with a layer of boxes outside, wrapped in waterproof oil paper inside.
As an adviser to the Thunder Army, Qin Mo knew very well the total amount of grenades and shells.
It is enough to support a big battle.
This was part of the training used during the military parade.
Two-thirds of them are first-generation grenades, and one-third are second-generation grenades. Pull out the plug and explode within three breaths!
It is waterproof and powerful.
However, the production difficulty is much more difficult than that of the first generation of grenades, so the output is insufficient.
"Hanzi, you are here!"
Knowing that Qin Mo was coming, Li Yue rushed over.
"The thunder cannons are installed?"
"Well, I've installed it. I've sent ten more thunder cannons these days. Including the previous ones, there are a total of seventy cannons!"
Li Yue was under great pressure. After confirming that the war started, he had not left the camp for two days, his eyes were red and covered with blood.
"Don't be so nervous, it makes me nervous." Qin Mo patted his shoulder, "It's okay. The Thunder Army is equipped with the most advanced weapons, which are not comparable to Tubo. As long as the opponent's rhythm is disrupted, they will definitely lose!"
Li Yue exhaled a breath of turbid air and nodded. With Qin Mo around, he was not so nervous.
In the past, the two of them rolled in the mud, but now they are on the battlefield together.
He said, "Sorry, I'm sorry!"
Qin Mo said in surprise: "Damn, why are you nervous? Why are you sorry?"
Li Yue hooked Qin Mo's shoulder, "We two brothers haven't talked alone for a long time. Let's have a good drink today, how about it?"
"We are like Rabbit. I have been playing with you since I was wearing open-crotch pants. Don't do this!
Besides, there are so many things in the military camp, can you drink alcohol and not let it go?
I'll come and see if you want to catch me, do you want to catch me? I'll tell you if there's no way!"
Li Yue smiled. No matter what he did, Qin Mo silently supported him behind his back.
"Okay, then let's wait until we come back from winning the battle before drinking. Then I will drink your wedding wine and personally lead you!"
"That nonsense, you must win the battle!" Qin Mo patted his shoulder and said to Liu Rujian: "Xiao Liu, pull him down, your eyes are red and your rabbit dies. Don't die suddenly without going to the battlefield.
Then I won’t go to help him with the spirits, I feel embarrassed!”
Liu Rujian nodded, "King Yue, go and rest. The military equipment is almost ready. Leave the counting matters to Beizhi!"
Li Yue shook his head, "It's not too late to go to bed after counting!"
Qin Mo paved the road for him.
He can't let Qin Mo down!
"You are still stubborn!"
Qin Mo sighed, "Hey, I'm afraid of you, I'll count it. Can you go back to sleep quickly? Ruyu said that I, the brother, are not loyal enough!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yue nodded. If it was Qin Mo, it would be fine.
No one understands better than him.
After counting all the supplies, Qin Mo was also exhausted. He was about to go to Liushumen when Xiao Liuzi ran over and said unhurriedly: "Young Master, you, your master is here!"
"My master? Where did I come from?"
