"Judge Chen, Wu Sima is old and lacks energy. Please take more care of some things. Ordnance, food and grass matters are very important, don't let me down." In the Jiedu Envoy's house, Shao Shude was wearing a purple robe.
, sitting upright, with a lot of official documents submitted by various departments on the desk, the work pace seems quite tense.
But it’s time to calm down.
After returning home from Suizhou, the two party maids, Weicai and Yeli, were taken away by his wife. Shao felt a little regretful. A gentle rouge horse from the grassland and a small wild raccoon from Nanshan, especially the latter,
He was obviously not used to serving others, so he always had a heroic expression on his face, and would struggle a few times from time to time, which kept him in high spirits, and worked hard on this little wild raccoon every night.
This ridiculous period of time should be over. Rest is rest, work is work, and war is war. If you cannot defeat Tuoba Sigong, your prestige will be greatly reduced. Do you still want to play with wild raccoons with different tastes in the future?
"Commander, I understand. The weapons, food and fodder will definitely not go wrong, so let's go and do it." Similar to Zhao Zhi, Chen Yishen's salary officer is Xiazhou Biejia, and his dispatch is the shogunate's Cangjian, who is in charge of the town.
Warehousing matters, including the storage, transportation and distribution of grain and equipment, are under real power.
Marching Sima Wu Lian is already old. The reason why he has not resigned yet is that firstly, he has worked for most of his life without making any major mistakes, and his professional ability is still acceptable. Secondly, the commander-in-chief is short of talents, or this position is specially reserved for
Someone needs Wu Lian to spend some time temporarily.
After Chen Yishen left, he did not go to Caosi Yamen at all. Instead, he called some driving officers and went to the warehouse.
"General Ye Li, General Li, please be patient!" Chen Yishen stopped the quarrel among the warriors with a headache and said: "There are enough arrows made in the workshop, so why quarrel?"
"Twenty thousand arrows, General Yeli, please send someone to collect them today. First come, first served, don't fight over it." Chen Yishen waved and called two driving officers and ordered them to take the envoys to take care of it.
Ye Liyu glanced at Li Tangbin triumphantly, shook his shining silver armor, and left with his followers. All of his followers, with short hair, wearing sheep fur, and fierce and sinister eyes, spoke at odds with each other.
They would fight with others. They also had such strong self-esteem that when the Han soldiers laughed at them for their heavy smell, a group fight would always break out.
In the past few days, there have been hundreds of sergeants who have been arrested and whipped by the shogunate officials for fighting.
"General Li, the Dang Qiang people are born in the northwest with their strong customs and the hostility of heaven and earth. Why do you need to be acquainted with them?" Chen Yishen grabbed Li Tangbin, the military envoy of the Wuwei Army, and persuaded: "Nanshan wild raccoons are not familiar with this.
The familiar Tibetan tribe, surrounded by jackals and tusks of dogs and oxen, is deep in the mountains, in and out of dangerous paths, close to the sky and swimming in the rivers. It has been difficult since then and cannot be shoveled. They can go down the mountain to help the commander-in-chief.
This is something unprecedented. Once Tuoba Sigong is defeated, there will be plenty of opportunities to slowly concoct it in the future."
"I'm not afraid to concoct it now. Just fight with Tuoba Sigong. The Nanshan wild raccoons are not as obedient as the grassland Qianghu under a certain man. They are so domineering, just like Wei Bo's Yamen army. If you change it to other towns
, I'm afraid I would have been beheaded long ago." Li Tangbin said angrily.
He is now the Youyi Envoy of the Wuwei Army, with a total of two thousand riders under his command. One thousand of them are old people, and the new thousand were recruited on the grasslands. Maybe they have seen the power of Marshal Shao leading his army to the north, so these people are pretty good
Obedient, now they all wear Han hair accessories, and even their surnames have been changed. For example, many of his army's surnamed Wei Cai are now surnamed Wei, and they are very obedient.
Li Tangbin did not regard them as outsiders and treated them equally, so he slowly regained his military morale, and the two thousand cavalry almost became one.
But this Nanshan wild raccoon is too much, and Yi Congjun is also a hodgepodge. The Zhemashan clan and Zheyu clan who have been Chinese for a long time, if they don't open their mouths, you are not sure whether they are Dangxiang people. But the gang who came down from Hengshan
The same cannot be said for the Dangxiang people. They are truly barbarians. Li Tangbin just looked at them and wanted to whip them. They were too arrogant, especially the unruly one.
"General Li, there is no one else at this moment. If you have something to say, Chen will speak directly." Chen Yishen said cautiously: "The girl who was caught in a wild attack is now in the Marshal's house. Although she is just a maid, she is
During those days in Suizhou, I heard rumors that the commander-in-chief was favored every night. Now that the commander-in-chief has not yet had a legitimate son, what if..."
Li Tangbin's expression changed when he heard this, and he saluted Chen Yishen solemnly, saying: "Thank you Judge Chen for the tip. Regarding the arrows, there is no difference if you receive them first and then the originals. The Wuwei Army will not leave until five days later. We will send people tomorrow."
You can come and get it.”
“General, is he a vanguard again?” Chen Yishen asked.
Li Tangbin smiled and said nothing. Mr. Chen is the judge of Sicang and knows the departure time of each army, but he doesn't know which step to go first and which to go last. In line with the principle of confidentiality, there are some things that he cannot tell, although
I just mentioned something about myself.
Fortunately, Chen Yishen was also sensible. As soon as he saw Li Tangbin's expression, he repeatedly accused him and dismissed the matter with a smile.
They were chatting here. After Yi Congjun took the arrows and returned to the camp outside the city, Yeli Yulue returned to the city with his entourage and found a wine shop to have lunch.
Of course there is food in his camp. Lamb cooked in plain water used to taste delicious, but now I don’t want to eat it. The food in Xiazhou City is a hundred times better than the food in the tribe!
Of course, there are other fun things and places. The wild adventure has opened my eyes recently. I just feel that I have been squatting in the mountains since I was a child, completely wasting my time. I sent myself out to the mountains, and I guess it also made me grow a lot.
It means knowledge.
Xiazhou is like this, what is Chang'an like?
“Zun Zhan, I don’t want to go back to the mountain anymore.” Ye Liyu touched his belly and said.
His expression was just like that of the 1,200 Shatuo sergeant who served as a soldier in Jinyang for several years. In the end, he was "familiar with each other", just like the Han people.
Zunzhan was not young, he was mature and prudent, and he was a confidant of Ye Li Jingchen. When he heard this, he frowned, but he did not say anything, but said euphemistically: "Han people's things are extremely expensive, and those we brought
Cattle and sheep, it won’t take long.”
"I asked someone from the Zhemashan clan and they said that you can get rewards as a soldier and live a very comfortable life." Ye Liyu said with some disapproval.
Zunzhan was secretly frightened. In fact, he had seen the life of Han people. In his early years, he was a soldier in Yinning Town. He killed his colleagues over trivial matters and then fled back to the mountains. Among the eight towns northwest of Tang Dynasty, some of them may not have Uighurs.
, Turks, Tuyuhun sergeants, but there must be Dangxiang sergeants, every town has them, more or less.
When he was serving in the army in Gyeongju, there were more than a thousand Dangxiang sergeants in the army. Zunzhan talked with those people and found that they were basically accustomed to the Han lifestyle. Living in the city, receiving food and money and silk on a monthly basis, and going into battle.
Working hard. The first generation may still remember that they are Dangxiang people, but the second and third generations are almost Han Chinese. If Ye Liyu leads this kind of life, can he still go back to the mountains? The ones he brought here
If the warriors of the two thousand clans get used to the life in Xiazhou, will they return to the mountains?
Shao Shude really has some tricks up his sleeve. After hearing about his northern expedition to the grasslands, he recruited famous warriors from each tribe and distributed rewards on the spot. Finally, he recruited two thousand people into the army to serve as cavalry. These two thousand people, as long as they are led by him
In the past few years, if rewards and punishments are fair and everyone is treated equally, it is basically impossible to return to the grassland. There may be a few people who cannot stand the control of the military, but in the face of moving interests, most people can still change themselves.
Is the hard life on the grassland as good as being a professional warrior in Xiazhou?
Furthermore, if all the warriors on the grassland have been taken away, how can the remaining warriors resist? If we go to the grassland every few years to select a wave of warriors, not many, just a few hundred people at a time, wouldn’t it last forever?
No place to turn around?
That warrior from the Weicai tribe who has been renamed Wei Mengbao, if Shao Shude asked him to lead troops to conquer the grassland, would he not obey? Even if he didn't obey now, what about five years later?
Zunzang suddenly thought that the clan leader's daughter was still working as a maid by Shao Shude's side. If a son was born in the future and Shao Shude made him a righteous military envoy, wouldn't the Yeli tribe become a source of troops for him? After years of war, the clan would be strong and strong.
After going to the battlefield, I don’t know how many of them will come back alive in the end.
Noribu, like the cows raised by the family, are milked every day until they can no longer be milked. At that time, the cows will be killed for meat.
Zunzhan looked outside the restaurant. The family members of the sergeants were dressed in beautiful clothes, talking and laughing, and carrying a lot of shopping items in their hands. In the four states of Xia Sui, no one can resist the temptation of becoming a soldier. No, it is impossible.
In the entire Tang Dynasty, joining the army was a good way out. Those warriors in the clan had really never seen much of the world. They were fascinated by this colorful world. I wonder if they could still keep their true intentions?
I have to discuss this matter with the clan leader after I go back. I hope Shao Shude’s appetite is not so big. It will be enough to swallow the Mashan clan of Suizhou, the Zheyu clan of Yinzhou, and the Xili clan. Yelibu is the queen of the monkey.
, after death, the soul must return to the snow mountain, and cannot be swallowed up by the Han people.
Yeli Yulue and others returned to the camp after eating. Chen Yishen, the magistrate of the shogunate Sicang, sent someone to inform them, asking them to go to the city to collect 10,000 hu of army rations tomorrow morning.
According to the rules of the late Tang Dynasty, when you are in the camp or on an expedition, you eat three meals a day, two biscuits per meal. A single biscuit requires half a liter of flour, which is a ration of three liters of flour per person per day, which is not bad. In the Northern Song Dynasty, even if
When they were on an expedition, the sergeants only had two liters of rations per day, and they didn't know how they would have enough food.
There are 6,000 soldiers in the Yi army, and 10,000 hu of military rations is enough to feed them for nearly two months. Plus some dry food or cattle and sheep that I brought with me when I went on the expedition, it will not be a problem to feed them for more than two months.
According to the amount of military rations given by Judge Chen, is the commander only planning to fight for two months? Or will Xiazhou transport food and grass again after one month? Or will he directly eat Tuoba Sigong's cattle and sheep because the food is out of the enemy's supply?
?After all, people can’t drive all the livestock to Youzhou City.
