Chapter 200 Arrows pointing to Tubo to avenge

The drizzle falls on the Yangtze River, and the hazy scenery changes. The waves are broken against the current, and the weeping willows gently sway in the evening clothes, and the sunset is no longer visible.

After lunch, it rained lightly in the sky. It was dark before night time. Without the speed of the monkeys on both sides of the shore, the speed of the boats that had passed through thousands of mountains, the feeling of blowing in the wind was also impossible.

Li Xun covered his chest and found Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

"Xiaobao, I'm sick. If I can't do it anymore, I'm probably going to be unable to stand it when I get to the place. I'll leave the things in the future to you, but I still have a wish."

As soon as he saw Zhang Xiaobao and the others, Li Xun gasped and said.

Zhang Xiaobao leaned over to Li Xun and flipped his eyes, and said in confusion: "Why are you feeling uncomfortable? Didn't you look for a doctor?"

"It's useless, I'm not good at heart. Xiaobao, when a person lives, he always needs to be vigorous. I think I have nothing else, just missing the opportunity to do big things. Xiaobao, look at the relationship we have been together over the past few years, you must let me shine like a meteor."

Li Xun closed his eyes slightly and his breathing gradually became weaker.

Wang Juan stood beside him and watched for a while, turned around and went back to continue working on the matter. Zhang Xiaobao's nervous look was still in place, but the corners of his mouth were raised upwards. When Li Xun opened his left eye a little, Zhang Xiaobao quickly fell down the corners of his mouth.

He asked sadly: "Mr. Li, just say anything if you have something to do. I will definitely help you if you can. Don't worry. With our relationship, I will never let you die so dull."

When Li Xun heard this, his right eye also opened, but his breathing still didn't look so smooth. He said weakly: "I hope that after I arrive in Yizhou, your family will equip me with more sleeve arrows. I want to be loyal to the country."

"This, do you want to commit suicide with a sleeve arrow?" Zhang Xiaobao asked in confusion.

"No, I want to kill the enemy."

"Oh~! You killed Tubo, right? You will be cured after you kill. Sorry, don't think about this matter. It's not your turn to do it. Tell me, go to them and ask what you have come?"

Zhang Xiaobao thought about it and wanted to kill the enemy in Yizhou, so he could only go to Tubo. It seemed that it had something to do with this mobilization, but Old Man Bi and the other two just didn't tell him, and they had to wait until they could talk. They had to ask Li Xun in a roundabout way.

Li Xun was stunned, his breathing did not change so much. He stared at Zhang Xiaobao for a while and asked, "How did you know?"

"I'm stupid, I don't know anything. I decided to stop my trip because my family was unwell on the river. I stopped the boat and shored, and ate the delicious food in the river to wait for maintenance."

Zhang Xiaobao thought of a way to get the news as soon as possible, that is, to delay it. When others don’t have enough time, they will naturally discuss it with him.

"What about meteor's volunteer?" Li Xun was still thinking about his affairs.

"Your IQ cannot be a meteor, just be the moon, wait for the sun-like light to set, and you will appear again." Zhang Xiaobao expressed his meaning tactfully.

Li Xun still fought for it: "Then there is still time when the sun and the moon come out together."

"Then you can leave the finishing work to you." Zhang Xiaobao compromised.

Zhang Xiaobao did it as soon as he said, but the fleet slowed down that night and began to look for a place to dock.

As he thought, Old Man Bi and Old Man Yao couldn't stay there, so he pulled Old Man Zhang, held a small teapot in his hand, and swayed over from time to time.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were playing games with a bunch of little guys. A few adults were seasick, but the little guys were still so active, and seemed to be unaffected by the ups and downs of the ship.

The crowd stood in a circle, and in the middle was a big ball sewn with a fish float. They kicked back and forth, and when they hit it, they waited for others to kick it over again. If they didn't hit it, they chased it hard. Many times, two little guys would snatch it at the same time, and they wanted to kick it themselves.

"Xiaobao, why is the boat slowing down?" Old Man Bi asked Zhang Xiaobao after kicking the ball that was kicked at him.

"The little guys are in poor health and can't walk fast. My grandfather has to find a place to dock and rest. If it doesn't work, it will take many days tonight when it arrives in Yizhou. I don't know if the court will blame him. But there is no way. I can't go wrong in order to get to the place. At worst, I won't be an official and find a few acres of land to live a good life."

Zhang Xiaobao pointed at his younger brothers and sisters and replied.

The three old men didn't see which one was in poor health. They looked at each other. Old Man Yao sighed and finally spoke.

"Xiaobao, there is something I think I should tell you. Even if it goes against the holy grace, follow me."

"Grandpa Yao, don't, how can I harm you? No hurry, but Prince Li seems to be a meteor. It's difficult to charge in the battle. He is not satisfied with the moon. What's going on?"

Zhang Xiaobao did not give any face at all. He was most annoying to fight unsure. Since it was kept confidential, let's keep it. I won't leave. It depends on when your things can be transported to the place, or don't use the fleets of Zhang and Wang's families to cover them.

Li Xun knew it and kept it secret for himself, which was unreasonable.

As he said this, Zhang Xiaobao followed Old Man Yao to a place where there was no one nearby, and Old Man Bi and the other came too.

Wang Juan gathered the little guys and servants together and went to a farther place to play without disturbing the conversation between the four people.

Zhang Xiaobao and Old Man Bi sat down. Old Man Bi looked around and said, "Actually, this time I went to Yizhou, mainly to treat Tubo..."

"I was afraid that people would know about Tubo, so I used our fleet as a cover to make a surprise come true. My family would have to take risks and cooperate without telling me."

Before Old Man Bi could finish his words, Zhang Xiaobao continued to say with a look of dissatisfaction.

Old Man Bi shut up, and Old Man Zhang said at this time: "Do you know why you should use force against Tubo? Mainly..."

"The main reason is that the breach of the river embankment in Wangjiang in Shuzhou has something to do with them. After checking it, the court finally found that one or several people in this dynasty were deceived by other people's spies. They didn't deal with the people in this dynasty, just wanted to paralyze the Tubo. When the other side was attacked, they would turn around to deal with the people here.

But what does this have to do with my family? My father is going to Luoyang, but not Yizhou, and he has exchanged all his benefits. He knows integrity when doing business, let alone the court.”

Zhang Xiaobao took the words again, expressing that he should not think that my family knew nothing, but had to continue to exchange.

Old Man Yao opened his mouth and was about to say it, Old Man Bi said angrily: "Why didn't I exchange it for your family? Don't your grandfather and Juanjuan's grandfather have to have official positions? You also gave the salt farm you wanted when you left. After the meal is finished, it will delay the matter when you come back and come to Luoyang?

Who can I let my family go? How can I hide such a large team? If I don’t go through water, people will suddenly notice it on land. It’s not that the local people are not unclear. Ordinary people can’t control it at all. How can I fight if my logistics is unstable?"

"What's more, this time, you must use your family's strength to allocate food and grass. No matter how much the family makes, others will think it is a business behavior. If you change someone there and try to mobilize it, Tubo will react immediately.

The most important thing is your organizational ability. The court did not send other officials there. When the war broke out, it was all up to your ability to turn over and transport. This was the result of the study by the emperor and several ministers. In Luzhou, your family was in the face of fighting disasters, operating business, and being responsible for people's livelihood, but they didn't make any mistakes.

If you want to blame, you blame your family for being too capable. The emperor rarely praises others, but he praised your family once. He said that in terms of logistics, the Zhang family must be the one. With your family organizing there, the court saved a lot of trouble."

Old Man Yao also talked about it at this time, and it would be impossible not to say it, and the Zhang family's ships were going to dock.

But Zhang Xiaobao is still not satisfied with the answer, "Then why not say it in advance?"

"What if your family doesn't control their emotions? Let others see that, wouldn't all their efforts be wasted? It was not suitable for war now, but the country has just stabilized and it will take some time to recover. I am the one who opposes war the most, but your family has helped the court with a lot of taxes.

Also, your family and Li Xun also have a lot of money in their hands. Even if the court has not had time to raise it for a while, you can use your money to deal with it first."

Old Man Yao seemed very embarrassed when he talked about this. He was indeed right. When he was the prime minister, he said that he could not fight, but now he supports war.

Zhang Xiaobao thought for a while and said, "So, at the critical moment, the court's food and grass cannot be allocated. My family has to find a way. If the money cannot be supported, my family has to take it out. If it loses, who is the responsibility?"

"Of course it is the responsibility of the general in front who loses. He is the one who fights. As long as your logistics supply is provided, old man Zhang finally found the opportunity and said.

"What about winning? Is it a general's credit? My family does logistics, and if they pay money, they will lose nothing? Let's first agree that logistics supplies are regular supplies. If he needs a lot of oil to attack with fire, then my family doesn't care. My family is responsible for transporting food and grass and weapons to the first city to launch an attack. Now let's talk about how to calculate the time delay."

Zhang Xiaobao asked again.

The three old men were in a dilemma. Look at me and I look at you. No one could speak. It was not until Zhang Xiaobao was staring at me that Old Man Bi said:

"It will be a merit if you win, but you cannot give any rewards to the court. You can quietly compensate your father when he changes his place. In this year's imperial examination, many farmers in Zhang and Wang's villages will be admitted. As long as you reach age and have indeed studied in academy, you must write a letter to discuss this. Basically, there is no problem. Yes, no problem. Remember not to reveal it."

Zhang Xiaobao sat there without answering directly. After considering leaving the seat for a while, he hurried back to his cabin. When he came back, he said to the three old men: "Okay, my family agrees to this condition. I will hurry to go tomorrow and stop the boat in Jiangxia to rest in the evening."
