(To make up for the three hundred red envelopes I don’t know how long I’ve owed! Happy National Day, babies!)
Needless to say, He Changdi already knew about it.
"It's all right, I don't blame you for this matter, you did a good job this time, go back and have something to rest first."
Lai Yue let out an "hey" and followed the soldiers arranged by He Changdi to rest in the tent.
Looking at his master frowning and turning back into the tent, he sighed in his heart.
The third young master really caught up with everything this time. Seeing that the noble young master who was usually in Shengjing City didn't even have any accessories on him, he felt very sad.
He didn't understand why his young master was so decisive and wanted to come to the northern border army. Dissatisfaction with the third mistress was definitely not the only reason at the beginning.
The money they brought back from Shengjing and the proceeds from the sale of the third young master’s properties have all been used up, and there is not a single penny left. Now the third young master has nothing but the name He Xiaowei. The concubines of those third-rate families will be poor...
Lai Yue also knew about Chu Lian's affairs in Shengjing City through letters. The third grandma is really a capable person. Who would have thought that a noble girl from a family could earn money like that? Grandma made a lot of money.
I'm afraid that the entire Jing'anbo mansion belongs to the third grandma who has the most money.
Now that the third grandma is also in Liangzhou, could it be that the third young master, who is wise and powerful, will be raised by the third grandma in the future
Thinking about it this way, he felt that he was too prescient. He had to get back up quickly and hug the third grandma's thick thigh.
If He Sanlang knew that his Chang Sui thought so, he would angrily break the leg of this little beast!
He Changdi's tent didn't turn off any lights until late at night. He rubbed his brows and fell on the bed tiredly, staring at the top of the dark tent, listening to the howling wind outside the tent. Although he was very tired, the tense heartstrings made him Not sleepy at all.
I've been thinking about ways all night, but still nothing works.
Xiao Hongyu's rhythmic snoring sounded in the tent, and He Changdi's slender hands subconsciously touched the fluffy and warm blanket under his body, and the scene when he was with Chu Lian subconsciously appeared in his mind.
He turned his body sideways, took a deep breath, and wanted to get rid of the image in his head, but the mattress covering his body carried a faint fragrance, which made his memory clearer.
He frowned in annoyance, and wanted to throw off the mattress on his body and throw it under the bed. Although he thought so in his mind, the hand holding the mattress didn't move for a long time.
It wasn't until the sky became dim that He Sanlang fell asleep for a while.
Time passed quickly, and the Tuhun people on the front line had basically stopped attacking, but from time to time they would send small groups of troops to sneak attacks in the middle of the night, obviously fighting a war of attrition with the frontier troops.
The living environment of the Tuhun people was already harsh, and it was not a day or two for them to covet the rich and fertile land of the Dawu Dynasty.
The Tuhun people have lived on the icebergs of the grassland for generations. They are not like the people of the Great Wu Dynasty. They have long been accustomed to the harsh environment of the northern border and the heavy snow and ice in winter. In addition, the Tuhun people have been plotting for several years, so they naturally have a way to survive this harsh winter.
The bigger the snow, the colder the winter, the better it was for them.
The Liangzhou frontier army is different. Originally, the court spent a lot of money to maintain the frontier army. There are quotas for military supplies and military departments every season. In governing the country, last year several cabinet leaders quarreled for several months over military supplies.
By this year, not only did military supplies not increase, but they were actually reduced.
The situation of the frontier army is even more precarious.
Because Liangzhou snowed earlier than usual, the winter military supplies were not brought in, which seemed to cut off the life of the Liangzhou frontier army.
The people of Tuhun had sharpened their swords for ten years, and they had been waiting for this opportunity. Although their weapons and equipment were not as good as those of the Great Wu Dynasty, they were able to sharpen their cold-resistant materials, but the Liangzhou frontier army could not afford to wait.
Earlier, some generals in the army were furious and proposed to gather 50,000 soldiers and horses from the Liangzhou frontier army, have a full meal, and then smash down the Tuhun army in a mighty way, killing them all!
The Liangzhou frontier army is under Lu Guogong, so they are not a group of cowardly soldiers, and they still have the courage to die on the battlefield.
The soldiers are good soldiers, and the generals are also good generals, but how can Tuhun soldiers be so stupid, just standing there for you to fight, and the food is there for you to grab
The northern border is vast and sparsely populated, and sometimes there is such a vast grassland that even no one can be found.
The living conditions of the Tuhun people are harsh, and they are fighting against the sky. They are best at guerrilla warfare and hiding, and the northern border is still so big.
The most likely result is that their 50,000 soldiers crossed the river, and they starved to death and froze to death before they found the hiding place of the Tuhun soldiers...
So they can only wait and spend, even if they want to transport food, they have to find a way in the hinterland of the Great Wu Dynasty.
Others said, go grab the barbarians.
Hehe, the barbarians are poorer than the Tuhun people. They only know how to herd herds. Whether they can survive in the winter is a question, and it's their turn to rob them
Besides, the number of barbarians is smaller than that of the Tuhun people, and most of them live scattered. The barbarians who can't even reach it, might as well have a full meal and fight with the Tuhun people.
In short, no one has a good way to implement it.
Most of the generals in the army are veterans who have gone through wars. They have never been disadvantaged in the past, and they have brilliant ideas, but when they come to this desperate situation, they can only scratch their heads but can't think of a good solution.
It's not that General Qian has never sent a team to Sucheng, but the team that set out was half frostbitten before leaving Liangzhou, and the carriage couldn't drive in the knee-high snow. Could it be that the food depends on people and horses? Carry it back
The food of the 50,000 army depends on people and horses
It's a fantasy!
In the blink of an eye, two days passed, and now it is getting less and less every day. The secretary of the march is worried about the grain in the granary every day, and his gray hair has increased a lot.
No matter how much money is saved and how much money is deducted, the food is not enough for a month.
Early in the morning, Lai Yue packed a small package, and a dark red stick-like thing bulged out of the package.
Before leaving, Lai Yue came to He Changdi's tent to report.
At this time Xiao Hongyu was leading his soldiers to practice in the morning, and He Sanlang was the only one in the tent.
More and more took off the package on his back, stared at the contents of the package and swallowed, "Third young master, you really don't want to eat a little, or I'll leave you a piece of the little one. After so many days, the barracks It’s all bean porridge, so I’ll leave a bit of it for you to chew, and you’ll get more flavor in your mouth.”
Holding the book of war in his hand, He Sanlang glanced coldly at Yueyue, "No need, it's all for women to eat. Whatever you leave for me, bring it to your third grandma."
Yue Yue had no choice but to carry the package again, "Is there anything the third young master wants to tell the third grandma?"
He Changdi thought for a while, and finally got up and walked to the bed, took out a letter from behind the pillow and handed it to Lai Yue.
Lai Yue took the letter with both hands, and couldn't hide the joy on his face. It seemed that the relationship between the master and his wife had improved.
He Sanlang glanced at Lai Yue's smirking and beating look, his face became a little unnatural, and he kicked Lai Yue's ass, "Don't get out! Do you want me to see you off!"
Dodging his young master's long legs more and more flexibly, he laughed twice, "Don't be angry, third young master, let's start here, and the young one is very good at riding. I will let the third grandma see your writing as soon as possible." letter."
After finishing speaking, Lai Yue carefully put He Changdi's letter into the package with sugarcane behind him.
Lai Yue, who came out of He Sanlang's tent, had a smile on his face, and the third young master even said that he didn't like the third grandma. Look, he was reluctant to eat all the sugar cane he had brought back after a lot of effort. Bring it to the third grandma!
Half an hour later, a familiar voice came from the door of the tent, and He Changdi, who was reading military books in the tent, frowned for a moment.
What's going on with Lai Yue, why did you come back after going out for so long!
In the next second, He Changdi's cold handsome face became quite ugly.
Could it be that something happened to that poisonous woman Chu Lian
Thinking of this, He Sanlang couldn't bear it any longer, stood up in a panic, brought all the chairs down, and was rushing out with his cloak and saber, when the felt curtain of the tent was lifted from the outside by Lai Yue. Yue Yue's face was full of joy, and before entering the tent, he shouted: "Third young master, good news!"
The voice became more and more excited, with obviously irrepressible joy, which instantly dispelled the tense and fearful atmosphere of He Changdi.
The hand holding the saber was slightly loosened, but the voice that came out was still cold, "What's the matter, if you can't tell me a reason to satisfy me today, you will be served by the same military law!"
That news was so gratifying, Lai Yue didn't take his master's threats to heart at all, he entered the tent excitedly, and then saw what He Changdi was holding, and said strangely: "Third young master, you Is this going out?"
He Sanlang snorted coldly, and put the cloak and saber back to their original positions.
He was getting more and more chilled by the aura exuded by his master and was about to tremble all over, so he explained the reason in detail.
"The young one set off for Liangzhou Hefu early in the morning, but before halfway through the road, he ran into a group of people such as Mr. Tang and Uncle Mo. It was a world of ice and snow, and the snow was deep, and they even brought a spacious carriage The little one was dumbfounded, and was about to go up to ask questions, when he heard the voice of the third grandma from the carriage... "
As He Sanlang finished speaking in more detail, his eyes darkened, "What did you say? Chu Lian's carriage has no wheels?"
He was nodding his head like a rattle, and his face was full of disbelief.
"Third Grandma's carriage doesn't know what it is made of. It doesn't matter if it doesn't have wheels, but it can run fast in the snow without getting stuck in the snow!"
He Changdi's mind turned quickly, almost suddenly, he thought of what this wheelless carriage could be used for.
In an instant, his eyes were as bright as a sea of stars, and He Sanlang, who was calm and self-sufficient, could hardly have such an inexplicable moment of excitement, "Tell me, where is she! Where is she now!"
