Tang's dining table

Chapter 359 Li Zhi’s generosity

The general received the seal and set out for battle in accordance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty. However, on this day, he usually only walked thirty miles.

The overall march speed of the 50,000-strong army cannot be increased at all, because the speed of the march is not measured by the speed of the fastest light cavalry, but by the speed of the slowest baggage team.

When marching in Guanzhong, the army can only carry three days' rations. After leaving Guanzhong, it can carry nine days' rations. After arriving in Bingzhou, the army can carry half a month's rations at a time.

However, the amount of food and grass carried by the army was finally calculated based on two months. First, it was inconvenient for the army to carry too much food and grass.

Secondly, this kind of independent army that is not controlled by the emperor should not have too much food and grass.

Therefore, when marching in the Tang Dynasty, food and grass were generally supplied by local state capitals.

Even if a state only provides five days of military rations to this 50,000-strong army in its territory, it has basically eaten up the state's treasury.

This is why local officials are so resistant and sad about the army's crossing.

The first destination of the army is Jinyang, so instead of taking Xianyang Bridge, they can only take Baqiao eastward.

The only person who bid farewell to Yunchu in Baqiao was Di Renjie.

This guy stood in the crowd and watched the army passing by. When he saw Yun Chu, he just waved and left. He looked very cool. He didn't even compose a poem, let alone send a willow branch to Yun Chu. of romance.

The reason why Di Renjie was the only one to see him off was that Yun Chu's remaining friends were all in his army.

As the top medical officer for this army expedition, Lao He did not choose to stay in Li Ji's Chinese army camp, but chose to follow Yun Chu.

Of course, there are 112 medical officers at all levels and 300 medicine boys accompanying them.

Lao Huang of the Palace Gate Bureau, as the top ordnance repair officer for this army expedition, was also hiding in Yun Chu's military camp.

Accompanying him were three hundred craftsmen of various types, as well as a huge amount of various supplies for repairing weapons.

With the two of them joining, Yunchu's army has naturally turned into an army that is similar to one in charge of logistics.

Therefore, the 50,000-strong army marched meanderingly, among which the supplies, chariots and horses of Yunchu's army were the most spectacular.

The army left Baqiao, which can be said to have left Chang'an. At this time, Li Ji's authority was officially displayed.

The army arrived between Linhe and Tonghe, and after walking two miles further, they left Wannian County, Yunchu's jurisdiction, and entered Xinfeng County.

So, Li Ji was very disgusted and camped at the foot of Lishan Mountain, preparing to hold his first expanded military meeting here.

What is the most famous thing in Xinfeng County? Of course, it is Xinfeng wine, which is worth ten thousand dollars.

Hu Cao from Wannian County has been coveting this kind of wine for two years. In order to achieve the goal of getting Xinfeng wine from Xinfeng County to Wannian County, Chen Hucao drank a lot of wine. Recently, he even developed rosacea.

However, judging from the report Yun Chu received before leaving Chang'an County, Chen Hucao was confident that he would bring a new economic growth point to Wannian County - Xinfeng Wine before he drank himself to death!

Xinfeng wine is a filtered wine, which means it is very different from Green Ant wine. The wine pulp is as clear as water and has a long taste.

Wang Wei once wrote a poem: There are ten thousand people fighting for wine in Xinfeng, and there are many years of wandering in Xianyang. When we meet, we will drink for you. We will tie our horses to the tall buildings and weeping willows.

This poem is very unique. Yunchu plans to use this poem as an advertisement after Xinfeng wine starts to be sold in Wannian County.

If Li Ji encounters something difficult for him, after he returns from Liaodong, he plans to recite Li Bai's "The Journey Is Difficult". In this way, not only can he bring Xinfeng wine in, but he can also recite "Golden Cup Sake Dou Ten". The most important thing is that Li Ji's embarrassing behavior can be firmly nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

After all, history is like a little girl who can be dressed up by others. Su Dingfang, a good general, turned into a white-faced and traitorous official in folklore. Could it be said that Li Ji is an exception?

The army finally camped in Wannian County.

Yun Chu's identity suddenly became awkward, because from the perspective of Wannian County, he was the master, but from the perspective of General Dingyuan, he became a guest. From the perspective of General Dingyuan Yun Chu From this point of view, Wannian County is basically a subordinate of Li Ji, the general of the town army.

What Yun Chu fears most is the unreasonable and unreasonable behavior of people like Li Ji who take advantage of their own lives.

Sure enough, just when Yun Chu started to set up camp, heavy drums came from the Chinese army. Yun Chu sighed and rode a bay-red horse to the Chinese army's tent. As the old saying goes - three drums are not enough. Those who kill!

When Cong Yuanmen signed up and entered, Yun Chu clearly noticed that the flag official who was calling his name stayed on his face for a while.

Hurrying into the huge palace-like Chinese army tent, Yun Chu first looked at the official positions of the people present to determine where he should stand.

It didn't matter. He was surprised to find that there were two marching generals in the Chinese army's tent.

The one hanging on the left is the flag of the marching general manager of Liaodong Road, and the flag on the right is the flag of the marching general manager of Shenqiu Road.

Liaodong Road undoubtedly refers to Goguryeo, while Shenqiu Road generally refers to Baekje in the Tang Dynasty!

Just when Yunchu was confused, Pei Xingjian shouted to him: "Come here, you are under me."

Since there are no women in the army, they are basically hooligans. Pei Xingjian's greeting immediately aroused laughter.

Yunchu could still withstand this level of jokes. He came to Pei Xingjian and said to the two seats above, "Tell me about it."

Pei Xingjian smiled and said, "This is a secret that only a fourth-grade official can know. You are a fifth-grade official and you are not qualified enough."

Yunchu said: "Only the Young Master was seen on the general meeting stage. In other words, the attack on Baekje was carried out in secret?"

Pei Xingjian saw that Yunchu was serious, so he put away his cynical expression and whispered: "The army was divided into two groups, one group was led by Ying Gong, the 260,000-strong army was called the 500,000-strong army, and they marched directly from Liaodong.

The main purpose was to attract the attention of Goguryeo's leader, Gozo, so that he could withdraw his troops from Silla, reduce the pressure on Silla, and then work with Su Gong to destroy Baekje first.

The other army was led by Su Gong, who was the general manager of the Shenqiu Road march. He led an army of 100,000 people and set out from Chengshan (now Rongcheng, Shandong Province), across the sea to conquer Baekje from the west.

In fact, there was a third group of people, King Jin Chunqiu of Silla, who led the Silla army to attack Baekje from the east.

According to the military strategy, His Majesty has made a very strong determination this time and is preparing to destroy Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla in one go, or simply set up prefectures and counties in these three countries. "

Yun Chu took a breath when he heard this and whispered: "There are only 360,000 people. Is it too underestimated?"

Pei Xingjian whispered: "Your Majesty has really made a big bet this time. All the prefectures and counties north of the river will provide food and grass supplies for the army.

His Majesty is very determined, and his determination is even more ruthless than that of Yang Guang back then. In any case, Yang Guang recruited nearly two million troops and civilians back then. However, our 360,000 are all elites.

Generally speaking, as long as the strategy is used properly, military strategy should be achieved. "

Yun Chu sighed and said: "It seems that this time on the battlefield, it is not enough to use one person as an animal. At least one person must be used as three animals."

Pei Xingjian pointed to the generals who were gradually occupying the military tent and said: "So, all the elites are dispatched this time. If we win, everything will be easy. If we lose, the Tang Dynasty will be in the doldrums for at least twenty years."

Having said this, Pei Xingjian patted Yunchu on the shoulder and said: "I don't dare to hide it this time, use as much strength as you can, and use as much ability as you can.

If we win, our brothers can live a good life for thirty years. If we lose, the Tang army will become the sinners pointed out by thousands of people. "

Yun Chu nodded. This was the first time he felt that Pei Xingjian had really good vision.

Yunchu was not originally worried about the conquest of Goguryeo because, as far as he knew, Li Zhi achieved all his military goals.

...It’s just that it shouldn’t be the first year of Xianqing, but six or seven years later.

Yun Chu now only hopes that there is an error in his memory, because if the time is wrong, things should be very different.

However, the government soldiers in 1967 may not be as elite as they are now, and Li Ji and Su Dingfang in 67 years may not be as decisive as they are now.

Not to mention, Li Ji and Su Dingfang had gunpowder as a weapon to attack the city.

This battle should have been officially implemented after careful consideration by Li Zhi, Li Ji, Su Dingfang and other veterans.

It is absolutely impossible for Li Zhi to have his own way.

Compared to Li Zhi, Yunchu was more willing to believe in Li Ji and Su Dingfang.

Just when Yun Chu's mind was filled with the lawsuit, Li Ji and Su Dingfang appeared in the tent surrounded by a group of generals.

Among them, the most eye-catching one is Qibi Heli who is missing one ear. Qibi Heli is from Tiele. Ever since he took refuge with Emperor Taizong, he has been known for his loyalty to the Tang Dynasty. Even after being defeated by Xue Yantuo, Khan Zhenzhu caught it, but he did not rebel. Instead, he cut off one ear and swore that he would not rebel against the Tang Dynasty.

Later, Emperor Taizong exchanged him back from Xue Yantuo with a princess, which was the ultimate honor and favor.

Yun Chu couldn't help but take another look at this man who had been loyal to Li Zhi for more than a thousand years. Not only did he fight for the Li Dynasty all his life, but even after his death, his descendants still guarded Li Zhi and Wu. The mausoleum where Meihe was buried was more than a thousand years old.

As a result, this tomb has experienced more than a thousand years of ups and downs.

Our ancestors took it as their duty to guard the Qianling Mausoleum, and they still persisted in it even after many dynasties changed.

Huang Chao has been here, Zhu Wen has been here, Genghis Khan has been here, and there is still a big hole dug by Huang Chao in his attempt to rob the tomb.

However, Huang Chao did not succeed, Zhu Wen did not succeed, and Genghis Khan did not succeed. When the Mongolian Yuan invaded, the people of Qianzhou gathered two thousand people from the countryside to protect the Qianling Mausoleum. They fought with the Mongolian Yuan army in Tucheng for nearly a year, killing more than 10,000 enemies.

The Meng Yuan army was no longer strong, and they allied under the city not to take the Qianling Cup of soil, but only to cross the border. After that, the people of Qianzhou were shocked, and the wars between the Ming, Li Chuang, and Manchu Qing Dynasties did not affect Qianzhou.

Even after the establishment of the new government, attempts to excavate the Qianling Mausoleum were unsuccessful, so that the Qianling Mausoleum became the only one among the eighteen tombs of Tang Dynasty emperors that had not been robbed.

Looking at Qibi Heli's hairy face with one ear missing, Yunchu really felt at this moment that Li Zhi was really a very happy emperor, except that he didn't have a good wife.

The city has been locked down again, and the whole city is silent. The lockdown will be lifted at least until after the holiday. Today is nucleic acid and panic buying again. How can anyone be so busy?
