Thousands of miles away, mountains and rivers border Liao. The small intestine path is light into the line, and the Akima Xiongshan dark dyed bridge. Not seeing the galaxy wind is not warm, He Kanshuo moon leaves should wither. Before departure, the Jinchuan tributary ship was waiting to be shaken.
In the dark night, there is no star or moon, and the cloudy day after the rain stops seems to be colder than when it rains.
Guo Tu led the team to light a torch and go down at any time. It was easy to slide onto the small road next to him in the deep stream. He already knew that he had delayed his time and wanted to grow wings to fly this distance.
The only thing that satisfies him in the past few days is the logistics camp. He always waits in front to arrange the things that should be arranged. If you want to rest at night, there is a special place. When it comes to eating, there are also hot dishes and rice, if not Knowing that he had a mission, he thought he was traveling in Yaozhou Yaowang Mountain.
It gave him the feeling that this was not marching, it was too comfortable. Even before going down this road, some people had prepared the rope and connected them one by one so as not to fall down the mountain stream.
But the speed of this travel is still slow. If this continues, let alone reach Jinchuan in ten days, even the border may not be visible.
When it is changed to something else, it may be possible to find reasons to shift the responsibility to the logistics camp, saying that the supply of food and grass is not timely, but facing the Yizhou logistics camp, even the generals in the bastard dare not do this. If this is all Thinking that people are not doing well, can it be expected that the logistics camp will carry it on their backs? It is better to withdraw troops and let the logistics battalion go to war.
"It would be great if the logistics camp allowed me to grow wings on my body." Thinking of the magical logistics camp, Guo Tu couldn't help but mutter to himself.
…
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan led the team behind the soldiers in front of them for half a day. They marched very easily. The team expanded a bit. The guards sent by Old Man Bi and Old Man Yao to look for the two of them were persuaded to stay and prepare. Complete a logistic task together.
"It is estimated that Guo Tu’s team will be able to get to a place suitable for boarding in one hour. This is the last trip in the territory. I hope they can successfully complete the task and try to get more people back alive along the way. People who transport food and cook can give them money to go home."
Zhang Xiaobao looked through the binoculars at the long queue of torches on the winding road ahead, blessing.
Wang Juan also knew that one must die in a war. Whether active or passive, there is no zero casualties. Many soldiers in the front team have not yet married wives and children. Who knows how many people will come back alive after this time. , And how many people bury their bones abroad.
Putting on the short spikes, she also held a stick in her hand to prevent it from accidentally falling. She looked at the dark night sky and said: "The grain should have been transported to the border, and the follow-up grain is also being raised. When we arrive. , They should have entered the territory of Tubo, and subsequent transportation will be difficult. They can only know where to send the food until Guo Tu sends a message back.
What is this called? The battle plan will not be disclosed in advance. I have to wait until the border is hit. I don't know what his intentions are until now. "
"I guess he didn't want to say it in advance, but he himself didn't want to understand how to fight this battle. Maybe it will change at any time. Now tell the plan. What if it doesn't work at the time? Let's go, this is the point where the logistics are difficult."
Zhang Xiaobao took a bite of the compressed biscuits, chewed in his mouth, and said in a vague voice.
Said it was an hour, it was an hour. After an hour, the vanguard in front of the troops led by Guo Tu saw a path that could spiral downwards obliquely. If you don’t take this downward path, go straight, then We must continue to advance on the trail.
But there was a sign erected in this place, with the light of a torch, there was an arrow on it, and a row of small letters below it.
"Go down, you can take a boat, all the way across the border."
The news soon reached Guo Tu. He led the army forward, looked at the sign, and then at the way down. When he was hesitating, the river below lit up a piece of light, and the light was shining. Countless boats stopped on the water, undulating with the waves.
Such a sight shocked Guo Tu. Fortunately, he did not leave the border. Otherwise, he really thought that Tubo wanted to attack him. Of course, he suddenly had such an idea. He still didn’t think that someone in Tubo would be stupid. Sneak attack from below, to sneak attack is to lie in ambush on the mountain, throw a stone, and the people below are finished.
"General, you see that the flag is from the logistics battalion. Do you want to take a boat?" The army asked in a low voice, admiring the logistics battalion even more. Even the transport ships were prepared, and the logistics battalion was not taken care of along the way. , It seems that Zhang Zhong is indeed well-deserved.
Guo Tu has options? If you continue to walk the mountain road without taking a boat, it is really delayed. Now it seems that if you take a boat and go down the water, you can even shorten the time to reach Jinchuan, Tubo by one or two days.
Without hesitation at the moment, he ordered: "All sergeants pay attention to your feet and get on the ship."
Following the order, the forward began to walk down. It was only after this walk that there was no danger. There was a railing on the side of the road down. Even if you accidentally slipped, you would hit the railing first. Leave a place for the torch, and push it upwards to free up your hands and not be afraid of a sudden fall.
Guo Tu took a closer look at the railing and said: "The newly repaired one, it seems that the preparation time for Zhang Zhong is too short. Otherwise, he is likely to repair the railings on both sides of the road he has walked before, but he does not know that after crossing the border. , Can they deliver the grain and grass in time."
"General, they don't even know how we are going now, and how do they know where to transport the grain and grass? Besides, this time the court only asked them to collect the grain. Once we cross the border, our army will take the grain and grass over. Is it possible to continue to let them send it?"
Joining the army does not think that Zhang Zhong will do more. He is doing quite well now. As long as there is no shortage of food and grass when crossing the border, Zhang Zhong's task will be completed.
Of course, this depends on how the court arranges. If Zhang Zhong is allowed to continue to take the opportunity to support, the logistics battalion will have to wait on the border, at least to transport more grain and grass to the border city, so that it can be provided when the front army needs it for war. Sufficient supplies.
Guo Tu also knew that he was thinking too much, how could the logistics battalion follow to the front, even if it followed, it would not go too far away. Zhang Zhong was a civilian and had no army. Needless to say, the consequences of going deep into Tubo knowledge.
It's nothing more than the logistics camp did so well that people are reluctant to leave, but unfortunately, the logistics camp is no longer in the world after going out of the border.
Raising his hand and rubbing his face that was a little uncomfortable by the cold at night, he followed the team down. Whenever he went to a place that was considered dangerous, he would find that not only the railing beside it was higher, but also the foot. Steps were also repaired.
Fifteen thousand people went down the river in hundreds of small and large boats. When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan arrived here, they could no longer see the shadow of the fleet in front of them.
"Now you don't need to continue to arrange the previous things, and there is no way to arrange it. It's fine now, don't worry anymore. I haven't seen what the border gate here is like. I happened to have seen it in the past."
Wang Juan stood at the temporarily erected pier by the river, waiting for the arrival of the ships prepared for them.
Zhang Xiaobao's thoughts were not on the battlefield at this time, and he wondered how to recover the loss.
"This time we paid 120,000 in advance. The guy Li Longji is in the dark. It is impossible to expect him to pay back. I wondered if he could carve out a pasture for us and raise more good horses on it. , Then it will be shipped to various places to find rich people to participate in horse gambling, a very interesting activity."
"This is a good idea. Even if it is farther away, the conditions are more difficult. It is good to circle a piece of land in Fengzhou, that is, Inner Mongolia, where there are grasslands and deserts. You can raise more cattle. The climate is not good. Plant some. Commercial crops such as jujube trees or grapes are expensive to ship back."
Wang Juan has nothing to do with this. Let alone Li Longji can still exchange benefits with his own family. Even if he does not make any exchanges and gives himself and Zhang Xiaobao a chance to avenge the people of Wangjiang, he has to spend money alone to find a way. revenge.
But now it’s different. It was Li Longji who mentioned it first. If he couldn’t afford the money, he would take the land in exchange. I believe Li Longji would agree very happily. It’s not a good place now. The desert area is very windy and sandy, and the weather changes frequently on the grasslands. There are many wolves in the wild.
The poor population is even smaller, and they are all nomads. For ordinary people, you just give people money and they don't go there. If you ask for a piece of land there, Li Longji can't be happy
Thinking of this, Wang Juan said to Zhang Xiaobao: "Do you need to send someone back now to talk to Grandpa Bi and the others, first get the ground in your hands before you feel relieved."
"Don’t say it, absolutely can’t say it. If you say it now, just relying on the few monkeys and monkeys in the court, plus Li Longji, the emperor who is not stupid, they will have a lot of difficulties to tell us, and they will What Fengzhou said is so good, let us exchange something new, and the land won will not be big in the end.
Didn’t all the money spent this time have an account? When it’s over, send the account book to Grandpa Bi. He naturally knows what to do. According to my analysis, the most likely thing is that they come over and ask us what we want. Count on it, then it will be easy to handle. "
Zhang Xiaobao doesn't want to be so proactive. At this time, it is not as simple as confronting local officials. None of the people with a name and a surname in the court is a fuel-efficient lamp. It is not just an economic issue, but political exchange is involved.
Political exchanges must be wise, unless they are really torn apart, otherwise whoever reveals their intentions first will wait for bad luck. The so-called exchange is carried out in the process after both sides believe that they have taken advantage and made compromises. Yes, the simplest explanation is that you have achieved your intentions, and you have to get cheap and sell well.
If a bear understands politics, he would want to eat honey in the monkey territory but let the monkey propose it himself, and grievedly said that there are too many bees and need compensation. The moment he eats sweet honey, the monkey feels that he is taking advantage.
Wang Juan nodded his head to express his understanding, and his doubts in his heart became even greater. "What do you want to say?"
"Just say you want all the right to operate the tea and horse road." Zhang Xiaobao replied.
"Impossible, unless the people in your court are all fools." Wang Juan had no hope of this.
Zhang Xiaobao looked up and said, "I also know it's impossible. In psychology, this is called "foot-in-inch". Sometimes it's better to use it. It can also be said to be a wild price, just wait for them to pay back the money.
As long as they refuse, we will propose a good place with a large area. If it is a place where it is almost impossible, the area must be larger. If it is too difficult, it will do, but it needs to be exempt from tax and rent for ten years. Where do you think Li Longji will arrange the place? "
"Arranged to Inner Mongolia, or the Northeast, Lingnan will never let us go, then how can you guarantee the pasture?"
When Wang Juan thought about it, he figured it out clearly. Even if it was her, she would make arrangements like this. Isn't your Zhang family good? Then see how good it can be. If you want land, give it, and no one wants to go to bad places anyway, give it to your home, let your home embarrass you to go.
Zhang Xiaobao thinks the same way. In fact, it does not mean Li Longji. Many people want to see the Zhang family’s business jokes. The common problem of human nature is not to treat the Zhang family, but subconsciously consider the Zhang family to be suppressed. , Otherwise, wouldn't the Zhang family become a myth? Can't help but you can't make it
Hearing Wang Juan’s question, Zhang Xiaobao said: “When it’s almost time, give someone an instruction, such as vigorously developing hot pot, and saying that this method is very good in the northeast. At the same time, we use glass to make greenhouses to increase the output of off-season vegetables and buy a lot of fur. , Our garment workshop makes beautiful winter warm clothes.
It lies in building ships at the mouth of the Yellow River and going to Liaodong Bay to hire local fishermen to understand the marine environment there. You have to send people to open a new Shuiyunjian restaurant over there. What do you think I want to do? "
"What else can you do? Of course, you are planning to wait for the land to develop there. You are too bad, Little Treasure. I know you did this deliberately to let people watch, and then you didn't plan the land there. The rest is Inner Mongolia. , Are you screaming or are you hiding from the sky?"
Wang Juan knows Zhang Xiaobao’s character. Since he wants to divide the land in Inner Mongolia, he will definitely add details and lead others to get the land there step by step. Although sometimes it will fail, it depends on whether Zhang Xiaobao is. Persist, he persists, and will find a way to achieve the goal.
Zhang Xiaobao has actually been thinking about this all the way. In the era of power, unless he is ready to be the emperor and overthrow the original regime, he cannot face it hard, but the emperor is not so easy to be an emperor, especially He himself. People of, will definitely do everything possible after becoming the emperor, so tired and exhausted.
The most important thing is that it is very difficult to overthrow the current regime. Even if it takes more than ten years to prepare, you must first go to a remote place for the history of the festival, otherwise you will not be able to get soldiers, you have to learn Anlushan .
Then there was a coup d’état, which caused more serious consequences than the Anshi Rebellion, weakened Datang’s strength, and gave neighboring countries a chance to see if they did their own internal affairs first, or if other countries started fighting first, even if the last If I win, I'm older, maybe forty, maybe fifty, and I didn't enjoy anything. To say enjoyment, it was the excitement of the war.
But now there is no history. Let's play games together and enjoy life. Sometimes it is more comfortable to influence an era in secret than to stand in front of the stage by yourself.
"What do you want? Get on the boat, the boat is here." Wang Juan waited and waited until the boat came, Zhang Xiaobao still looked thoughtful, touched him, and stood forward again.
"I didn’t think about anything, I immediately sent a letter back. Some things must be arranged in advance. A letter written to Grandpa Bi to help him find someone who is not afraid of the cold during alpine skiing, and at the same time help train the guards who joined my house. The ability to resist cold.
At the same time, let the business people in my family buy old black tea, let the cloth dealers in the capital cooperate to send silk here, let Grandpa Yao lead the contact with the local officials close to the tea horse road, and hire the team who often walks the tea horse road at a high price. These will be added later when I think about it. "
Zhang Xiaobao came back to his senses, did what he said, got on the boat in a hurry, and began to write a letter.
