Three Kingdoms: Starting from zero, a wealthy party

Chapter 97 Supply Line

In Han Yang's memory, the Donghu tribal alliance is distributed in the Xilamulun River and Laoha River basins in the southeast of the grassland, and the Dingling tribal alliance is distributed in the west and south of Lake Baikal in the Selenga River basin.The Donghu Tribal Alliance is in the northern part of Inner Mongolia in modern society, while the Dingling Tribal Alliance has reached the Russian region.

After the whole army has been reorganized, someone must stay in Xiliang City to prevent the princes of the Central Plains from invading.Ji Ling is hot-tempered, and Huang Zhong hopes to lead Ma Chao into the expedition. Neither of them is the best candidate to stay behind.Zhang Liao has a stable personality and is not easy to get angry, so Han Yang asked him to lead him to stay in Xiliang City.

In Xiliang City, Han Yangliu gave Zhang Liao [-] troops. When the army marched, he sent Huang Zhong to lead [-] troops to the front, and he and Ji Ling led the remaining [-] troops to walk behind.Guo Jia did not go out with the army. Han Yang asked him to form troops in the city to defend against foreign enemies.

The army marched slowly. At this time, spring had just arrived, and everything was recovering. After a winter's baptism, the grassland was full of green.

The place they traveled was called Beyond the Great Wall by the Central Plains people.People say that the scenery beyond the Great Wall is good, but now it seems that they are all deceptive.

The weather in the north was not as warm as that in the south, with strong winds blowing, and some soldiers had frost on their faces. Naturally, Han Yang also paid attention to these problems, so the marching speed was very slow.

On a grassland further north, there is still thick snow on the ground.Several horses galloped by, and the man on the horse opened his bow and shot an arrow, and shot the hare running among the grass.

There was also a deer on horseback, which was their prey.

Several people caught the hare back, dug a big pit on the spot, found some dry branches and lit a fire, shaved the hare and deer, took out the flagon from their arms, sat on the ground and drank.

When the surface of the meat gradually turned yellow and the aroma of the meat wafted out, the few people didn't care whether it was cooked or not, and each of them took a leg and gnawed it.

"Brother, today's harvest is really not small."

The man called Big Brother was wearing a wolf fur coat, his sword eyes were piercing, and he was biting a piece of bloody venison in his mouth. "Second brother, today is not bad. A large area of ​​the grassland is occupied by Xiliang. It is indeed not small that we can fight these in our own territory."

"I heard that Xiliang seems to have sent troops to conquer our tribe. Brother, should we do something?"

"Send troops?" His eyes lit up, "Our tribe is not like the Xiongnu who can't help but fight. If they dare to come, they will definitely kill all of them." After speaking, he broke the deer leg in his hand.

"What's more, the Central Plains is not as cold as our northern grasslands. Those Central Plains soldiers are used to warm areas, and they will definitely be uncomfortable when they come to our north. If they can't even hold weapons, how can they fight us? You say, Yes or no?"

"Hahaha, brother said yes."

"Hahaha"

Their arrogant laughter sounded in the snow.They can think of these questions, how could Han Yang, who has been a man for two lifetimes, not think of them?Two years ago, Han Yang might have been worried, but now, these problems have been solved.

After defeating the Huns, Han Yang's army took over the territory of the Huns one after another.After Guo Jia came back and told Han Yang the news, Han Yang suddenly understood that there is no global warming happening now, and the climate that can be resisted by simply wearing armor does not exist in the Three Kingdoms world.

He realized that his thinking was a bit naive, and he couldn't win this battle just relying on the terrain he knew.

When Han Yang checked the local affairs in Gaolu and sorted out the local affairs in the Xiongnu area, he found that cotton was planted in the southern Xinjiang area.

During the Three Kingdoms period, there was no cotton planted in the Central Plains, only kapok for filling bedding.Cotton was introduced to the Central Plains for cultivation in the Song Dynasty.Moreover, the terrain in southern Xinjiang is flat and huge, and there is a large enough area to grow cotton.

The appearance of cotton made Han Yang grasp the straw. He immediately sent Gao Lu to order officials in southern Xinjiang to plant cotton in his own area, and also sent some people to southern Xinjiang to learn cotton weaving technology.

Cotton is a two-year three-crop crop, which better solved this problem for Han Yang.At the same time, the workers were ordered to pick them day and night, rush to work overnight, and send the cotton clothes made to the army.After two years, every soldier who goes on an expedition can be guaranteed to have three cotton-padded clothes to wear against the cold.

There may also be some accidents on the marching road, resulting in insufficient supplies.On the march, he had already ordered Feng Lu to use the trained troops to build post stations and supply supplies, forming a long supply line.

This supply line was found by Han Yang in his mind with the help of the terrain of Inner Mongolia, and it is very hidden.Post stations can not only provide supplies, but also be used to collect intelligence.

The army had already arrived at the first station at this time, and it was getting dark gradually. Han Yang ordered the army to rest for one night and set off again the next day.

The leader had just returned to the tribal tent when he heard a report from the spies on the grassland front that Han Yang had raised troops in Xiliang to conquer the grassland, and now he had reached the Ordos Mountains.

The leader was a little surprised when he heard it, but soon relaxed his mind.In this troubled world, those who are capable of becoming kings have ambitions, so it is expected that Han Yang will send troops, but it is a bit early, but it is not in the way. On this vast prairie, they Occupying the right time and place, there is nothing to fear in my heart.

The leader of the Donghu tribal alliance is called Tuobayu, and this man's wild knife makes him superb.In the alliance, many people were dissatisfied. He used this knife to kill all those who refused to accept it, and then he became the leader of the alliance.

"One hundred thousand troops? It's indeed a bit much, but it's not a big problem. When the Xiliang army appears, we will go up and make an appointment to fight. No matter who comes, they will all become my dead souls. If they dare not call for a fight, their morale will be reduced." It will fall by half first, and the battle will be more powerful to our army." Tuoba Yu's analysis hit the nail on the head, and the other generals in the tent nodded in agreement.

The night passed by in a blink of an eye, and in the morning, just as the sun rose in the east, Han Yang's army set off from the station and continued to march towards the direction of the Xila Mulun River.Their next post was in Guisui, and the journey was quite long, so the army might have to sleep on the grass tonight.

Han Yang ordered all the troops to speed up their march. If they could arrive before dark, the army would not be eroded by the evening wind of the grassland.

The further north we go, the greater the temperature difference between day and night, and some soldiers have already experienced symptoms of acclimatization. If there is no hot water supply tonight, it will be difficult for the soldiers to survive tonight.If they didn't make it through tonight, many people would fight sick. If the army caught the flu, it would be out of control, Han Yang thought in his mind.
