Chapter 213: Layout after sending away the army

Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and the vast mountains and rivers are far away. The roads of the sheep are lighted into lines, and the red horses and mountains are darkened to the bridge. There is no galaxy, and the wind is not warm, so how can you detect the leaves of the new moon and moon wither? I will send you away one journey before leaving the country, and the ships of the tributary of the Jinchuan are waiting to be shaken.

On the dark night, there are no stars or moons, and the cloudy days after the rain stop seem to be colder than when it rains.

Guo Tu led the team to light a torch and walked down the path in the deep ravine next to him at any time. He knew that he had been delaying his time and wanted to grow wings and fly across this distance.

The only thing that satisfies him these days is the logistics camp. He always waits for the front to arrange the things he should arrange. If he wants to rest in the evening, there is a special place, and when it comes to eating, there are also hot dishes and hot rice. If he didn't know that he had a task, he would think he was traveling in Yaowang Mountain in Yaozhou.

It gave him the feeling that this was not a marching, it was really comfortable. Even before walking this road, some people prepared ropes and connected them one by one to avoid falling down the mountain stream.

But the speed of traveling is still slow. If this continues, you may not even be able to see even the border if you arrive in Jinchuan in ten days.

If it were other times, we might be able to find reasons to put the responsibility on the logistics camp, saying that the supply of food and grass was not timely, but when facing the Yizhou logistics camp, even the generals who were trashing would not dare to do this. If they all think that they were not doing well, would it be better to expect the logistics camp to carry it on their backs? It would be better to withdraw the troops and let the logistics camp go to war.

"It would be great if the logistics camp could make me grow wings." Thinking of the magical logistics camp, Guo Tu couldn't help but say to himself.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also led the team to follow the soldiers in front for half a day. They marched very easily and the team expanded a little further. Old Man Bi and Old Man Yao sent a guard to find them and stayed, preparing to complete a logistics task together.

"I guess Guo Tu's team will be able to get to a suitable place for boarding the boat in another hour. This is the last trip in the country. I hope they can complete the task successfully and try to make more people come back alive. The people who transport grain and cook along the way can give them money to go home."

Zhang Xiaobao looked through the telescope at the long queue of torches on the winding road ahead, wishing blessings.

Wang Juan also knew that people must die in wars, whether they are active or passive, and there was no zero casualties. Many soldiers in the front team had not yet married and had children. After they left, who would know how many people would come back alive and how many would be buried in a foreign land?

She put on short spikes and also leaned on a stick in her hand to prevent her from falling down accidentally. She looked at the ink-colored night sky and said, "The grain should have been transported to the border, and subsequent grain is also being raised. When we arrive, they should have entered the territory of Tubo. The subsequent transportation will be difficult. We can only wait for Guo Tu to send a message back to know where the grain should be delivered.

What's this? I won't disclose the combat plan in advance, and I will have to wait until the border is launched. Until now, I don't know what his intention is."

"I guess he didn't want to say it in advance, but he didn't understand how to fight this battle. Maybe it would change at any time. Let's tell us the plan now. What if it doesn't work? Then I'll cheat people, follow it. The difficulty in logistics is at this point."

Zhang Xiaobao took a bite of the compressed biscuit and chewed it in his mouth, saying in a confused voice.

It is said that it is an hour, which is an hour. After an hour, the vanguard in front of the troops led by Guo Tu looked at a path that could hover downward. If you don’t walk this downward path and go directly, you have to continue moving forward on the path.

But a sign was erected in this place. Looking at it with the light of the torch, there was an arrow on it and a row of small characters below it.

Walk down, take a boat and pass the border.

The news was about to reach Guo Tu. He led the army forward, looked at the sign, and then looked at the road down. When he was hesitating, there were lights in the river below. In the light, countless ships were parked on the water, rising and falling with the waves.

This scene scared Guo Tu. Fortunately, he didn't leave the border, otherwise he really thought that Tubo wanted to attack him. Of course, he suddenly had this idea. He didn't think that someone in Tubo would be so stupid as to attack from below and sneak attacking upwards. If he wanted to attack, he would be ambushed on the mountain and throw down the stones, and the people below would be finished.

"General, look at the flag, it's from the logistics battalion. Are you on a boat?" The officer asked in a low voice, and he admired the logistics battalion even more. He even prepared the transport ships and collected the logistics battalion's care along the way. It seemed that Zhang Zhong was indeed well-deserved.

Guo Tu still has a choice? If you don’t take a boat, you will continue to walk the mountain road. That’s really delayed. Now it seems that if you take a boat and go down the water, you can even shorten the time to reach the Jinchuan area of ​​Tubo in one or two days.

Without hesitation, he ordered: "All sergeants should pay attention to their feet and get on the boat."

With the order, the forward began to walk downward. Only after walking did he realize that there was no danger. There was a railing on the side of the road downward. Even if his feet slipped accidentally, he would hit the railing first. There was a special place for inserting a torch on the railing. If you inserted it upwards, you would not be afraid of falling suddenly.

Guo Tu looked at the railing carefully and said, "It seems that the preparation time for Zhang Zhong is too short. Otherwise, he would probably have built the railings on both sides of the road he walked past. I don't know if they can still transport the food and grass to it in time after passing through the border."

"General, they don't even know how we move, so how do they know where to transport the food and grass? Besides, this time the imperial court just asked them to raise the food and once they cross the border, our army will take over the food and grass. Could it be that they will continue to send it?"

Joining the army does not think that Zhang Zhong will do more things. He is doing well now. As long as he does not lack food and grass when crossing the border, Zhang Zhong's mission will be completed.

Of course, this depends on how the court arranges it. If Zhang Zhong continues to take the opportunity to support it, the logistics battalion will have to wait on the border, and at least transport more food and grass to the border cities. Fortunately, the front army will provide sufficient supplies when war needs to be fought.

Guo Tu also knew that he was thinking too much, so how could the logistics battalion follow ahead? Even if he followed, he would not go too far. Zhang Zhong, a civil servant, had no army, knew the consequences of going deep into Tubo.

It’s just that the logistics camp has done so well that it makes people reluctant to leave. Unfortunately, leaving the border, it is no longer the world of the logistics camp.

He raised his hand and *** the face that was a little uncomfortable due to the cold air at night, and followed the team down. Whenever he walked to a place that he thought was dangerous, he found that not only the railing next to him was higher, but also the steps were built under his feet.

Ten thousand people rode hundreds of boats of all sizes downstream. When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan arrived here, they could no longer see the shadow of the fleet ahead.

"Now, there is no need to continue to arrange the previous things, and there is no way to arrange them. Now, I don't have to worry about it anymore. I haven't seen what the border here looks like, so I can go over and see it."

Wang Juan stood at the temporary pier by the river, waiting for the ships prepared for them to arrive.

Zhang Xiaobao's mind was not on the battlefield at this time, and he thought about how to recover the losses.

"This time we paid 120,000 yuan directly. Li Longji was in a bad mood. It was impossible to expect him to pay back the money. I wondered if he could set a piece of grassland for us and raise more good horses on it. Then transport it to various places and find rich people to participate in horse betting. This is a very interesting activity."

"This idea is good. Even if it is far away and the conditions are difficult, it is good to enclose a piece of land in Fengzhou, that is, Inner Mongolia, there are grasslands and deserts, and you can raise more cattle. The climate is not good. If you plant some jujube trees or grapes, it will be expensive to transport things back."

Wang Juan had no choice but to say that Li Longji could still exchange interests with his family. Even if he did not make any exchanges, he would give himself and Zhang Xiaobao a chance to avenge the people of Wangjiang, and he would have to pay alone to find a way to revenge.

But now it is different. Li Longji mentioned it first. If you can't afford to pay the money, you can exchange it for the land. I believe Li Longji will agree very happily. It is not a good place to go now. The desert area is windy and sandy, the weather on the grassland changes frequently, and there are many wolves in the wild.

The population is even smaller, and they are all nomadic people. If you don’t even give money to others, you won’t go there. If you ask for a piece of land there, Li Longji will be so happy?

Thinking of this, Wang Juan said to Zhang Xiaobao: "Do you need to send someone back to talk to Grandpa Bi and the others now, and you can get the land first to be at ease."

"If you don't say it, you must not say it. If you say it now, just rely on the monkey spirits and monkey spirits in the court, plus Li Longji, the emperor who is not stupid, they will definitely have many difficulties to tell us, and they will tell us how good Fengzhou is, so that we can take out new things to exchange, and the land we give will not be big in the end.

Isn’t the money spent this time all accounts? When it’s over, I’ll send the account book to Grandpa Bi. He naturally knows what to do. According to my analysis, the biggest possibility is that they come over and ask what we want. Don’t expect money, and it will be easier to handle it at that time."

Zhang Xiaobao didn't want to be so proactive. At this time, it was not as simple as confronting local officials. None of the famous and surnameds in the court was a fuel-efficient lamp. It was no longer just an economic issue, and it involved the exchange of ***.

*** Exchange requires wisdom. Unless it is really apart, whoever exposes his intentions first will wait for bad luck. The so-called exchange is carried out in the process after both parties think that they have taken advantage of it and made compromises. The simplest explanation is to achieve their intentions and behave well when they get the advantage.

If a bear knows how to eat honey in the monkey territory, he will ask the monkey to raise it himself, and he said with grievance that there are too many bees and needs compensation. The moment he eats sweet honey, the monkey feels that it has gained benefits.

Wang Juan nodded to show his understanding, and his doubts became even more intense, "What should I say?"

"I just want all the management rights of the Tea Horse Road." Zhang Xiaobao replied.

"Impossible, unless you are all fools in the court." Wang Juan had no hope for this.

Zhang Xiaobao looked upstream and said, "I know it is impossible. In psychology, this is called "going to the point" and sometimes it is better to use than "going to the point". In layman's terms, it can also be said to be asking for a price all over the place, just waiting for them to pay back the money.

As long as they refuse, we will propose to have a good place with a large area. If it is a small place, the area must be larger. If it is a too difficult place, it is OK, but it needs to be exempted for ten years of taxes and rent. Where do you think that guy Li Longji would arrange the place?"

"If we were arranged to Inner Mongolia, otherwise it would be Northeast China and Lingnan would never let us go. How could you guarantee that we could get the pasture?"

Wang Juan thought it through clearly when she thought about it. Even if she was the one who would make arrangements like this, isn’t your Zhang family powerful? Then see how powerful it is. No one is willing to go to the place where it is bad. Give it to your family and make it difficult for you.

Zhang Xiaobao also thought so, but it actually doesn't mean Li Longji. Many people want to see the Zhang family's business jokes. The common problem of human nature is that it is not necessary to deal with the Zhang family, but there is a subconscious consideration of suppressing the Zhang family. Otherwise, wouldn't the Zhang family become a myth? Isn't it difficult for you?

After hearing Wang Juan’s question, Zhang Xiaobao said: “When it’s almost done, I will give someone an instruction, such as vigorously developing hot pot, and said that this method is very good in the Northeast. At the same time, it uses glass to make greenhouses to increase the yield of off-season vegetables, purchase a large amount of fur, and our clothing workshop makes beautiful winter warm clothes.

It was built at the mouth of the Yellow River, and went to Liaodong Bay to hire local fishermen to understand the marine environment there. It also had to send people to open a new Shuiyunjian Restaurant there. What do you think I want to do?”

"What else can I do? Of course, I am planning to develop after the land has been found there. You are too bad. Xiaobao. I know you deliberately did this and let people watch it, and then you don't put the land there. The rest is Inner Mongolia. Are you calling it a rumor or concealing the world?"

Wang Juan knew Zhang Xiaobao's personality. Since he wanted to draw a piece of land in Inner Mongolia, he would definitely add details and lead others to get the land there step by step. Although it would fail sometimes, it also depends on whether Zhang Xiaobao insisted. If he insisted, he would find a way to achieve the goal.

Zhang Xiaobao was actually thinking about this along the way. In the era of power, unless he was preparing to be the emperor and overthrow the original regime, he would not be able to face it toughly. However, the emperor was not so easy to be a person like him, especially those who would definitely do everything as well as possible after becoming the emperor, and he would be 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, it must first go to a remote place to be a governor's history, otherwise it will not be able to get soldiers and learn from An Lushan.

Then a coup was launched, which would have a more serious consequence than the Anshi Rebellion. It would weaken the strength of the Tang Dynasty and give neighboring countries a chance to see if they had done their internal affairs first or other countries would fight first. Even if they won in the end, they would have grown older, maybe forty or fifty, and they would have enjoyed nothing. If you want to enjoy it, it would be the stimulation of the war.

But there is no history of the military affairs yet, so I should accompany you to play games and enjoy life. Sometimes it is a secret influence on an era, which is more comfortable than standing in front of the stage by yourself.

"What do you think? Get on the boat, the boat is here." Wang Juan waited and waited until the boat came. Zhang Xiaobao still looked thoughtful. He touched him for a moment and stood forward again.

"I didn't think about anything, so I sent a letter back immediately. Some things must be arranged in advance, and a letter to Grandpa Bi asked him to help find people who are not afraid of the cold during the alpine skiing process. At the same time, I helped to train and join the guards who came into my house to resist the cold.

At the same time, let the people in charge of business in my family buy aged black tea, let the cloth shops in the capital cooperate to send silk to the place, let Grandpa Yao lead the way to contact local officials close to the tea and horse road, and hire teams who often walk on the tea and horse road at high prices. That's all, I will add it later when I think about it."

Zhang Xiaobao came to his senses, did what he said, and hurriedly got on the boat and began to write letters.
