Chapter 237 A letter from home reveals information
The news sent this time was that the two pigeons in Yizhou flew out for a long time and got it again. Perhaps the two pigeons in the back flew faster, and they came soon after they arrived shortly after they arrived.
The matters in the court have been discussed and have not yet dispersed. Let's see what news has come again. It should not be bad news. Even if Juanjuan can't win, she can still run away. The two people sent later, the eagle can take people away.
It was indeed not bad news. The letter said that Yunshuifei made an arrangement to Pengzhou to ask Pengzhou to accept the 4,000 people and food and grass added to the logistics and Tubo, and to place the people in Yizhou. At the same time, the imperial court went to Sanshui County to find people who followed Zhang Ying to raise falcons.
Let these people go to Pengzhou and cooperate with Pengzhou to conduct a feint attack on Tubo, and slightly restrain the Tubo cavalry. In addition, 10,000 elite troops from Jiannandao were drawn to ambush in the cover of the feint attackers.
When I was in the past, don’t forget to go to Yizhou to get things. The charcoal and vegetable oil collected some time ago were taken to the village together, waiting for you to come back, and hide, and don’t be discovered. When you return to the army, cooperate with yourself and send a general who doesn’t have to be too capable but must be obedient.
When the ministers in the court heard this, some of them sucked a sigh of relief. Juanjuan is too powerful, right? He started to arrange the next thing and was brave enough to even fight a Tubo ambush in that place. Didn’t the village use it once? If you use it again, you won’t be afraid of being discovered?
Didn’t Zhang Zhong start buying rapeseed oil and charcoal long ago before he arrived? He had to take it to the village. Could it be that his family would use it at that time? What was it for? Juanjuan planned to ambush ten thousand people again?
Li Longji did not expect Juanjuan to be so far away. Yizhou prepared food and grass again, and asked him to go to Sanshui County to find falcons. He made arrangements and sent Pengzhou to attack. If this is the case, will the previous orders he sent disrupt Juanjuan's deployment?
This arrangement is no longer a tactical level, but a strategic one. Should it be based on oneself or the one who listens to the little girl?
Li Longji was in a dilemma on this issue.
At this moment, Lu Yanzuo felt that he had an opportunity. He glanced at the people who had beautiful water cups in the court officials. Thinking that no one from his family had given him such a cup, he felt that he could have a good relationship with the Zhang family.
So he stood up and said to Li Longji: "Master, I don't know if I should say anything."
"If you don't know, stop talking." Li Longji was still angry with Lu Yanzuo. When he heard him ask, he said with great disrespect.
Lu Yanzuo was stunned for a moment. This was wrong. It should be said that Dan later, so why did he change it?
"Your Majesty, I'm brave enough to say something." Lu Yanzuo ignored Li Longji's words of not saying anything. Seeing that the person above did not object, he continued:
"I think that the little lady Juanjuan is a rare famous general. She said that she would make sense of this arrangement. She might as well do what she said."
"Is that my previous order wrong?" Li Longji asked.
"No, how could Your Majesty be wrong? Juanjuan is right. I think so. Juanjuan asked Pengzhou to attack because he was afraid that the generals of the commander-in-chief would suffer losses. After all, the Tubo cavalry was dispatched, so he had to let the Falcon follow him. She was worried that other generals would not know other generals, and she was worried that our dynasty would suffer too much. Do Your Majesty agree?"
Lu Yanzuo continued to explain the story to avoid being misunderstood.
Li Longji thought about it for a moment, nodded and said, "Of course."
The civil and military officials of the court also admitted that they could not find a general as powerful as Juanjuan now. There were generals who could win battles, but those who could kill so many enemies with such small casualties could not find them. Unlike before, there were also famous generals.
Seeing that the emperor agreed, Lu Yanzuo continued, "However, our dynasty cannot let Juanjuan lead the army whenever there is a war. Wouldn't there be no one in our dynasty? Your Majesty can ask Jiannandao to send troops. At that time, he will send another 10,000 elite troops according to Juanjuan's words and the village. As for the deployment, Juanjuan is a famous general of a generation and will adjust accordingly.
If Your Majesty agrees, I should go to Sanshui County to train the eagle to cooperate with our marching. I have a stiff neck last night and I have already found someone to see it. The effect is not good. I also want to go to Deyi Hospital to take a look."
In order to ease the atmosphere, Lu Yanzuo shook his head, which really felt like he couldn't move.
All the officials in the court laughed, and even Li Longji was not as calm as before.
"In this way, Lu Qing will be exhausted." Li Longji also wanted to see if Juanjuan could adjust according to the layout immediately. In his mind, Wang Juan was already a famous general. The famous general naturally understood that the soldiers were not in constant force and the water was not in constant shape. If the soldiers were sent, the danger would be even smaller.
Even if things were settled, Lu Yanzuo found an opportunity to ease. Of course, he would not take a car. There was a boat, and the river surface had not frozen yet.
Wang Juan is still leading people away. Now she is so happy that she killed so many people. When the news reaches Shuzhou, the people there will definitely cry and then be very happy to avenge them.
The message from the Eagle Legend was written by Zhang Xiaobao, and he also had his own arrangements.
Wang Juan didn't expect that on the way to Yizhou, Zhang Xiaobao had such a plan. He rode his horse and said to Zhang Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, I found that you are really suitable for logistics. You have made arrangements for all the things you can think of and maybe you might have. Otherwise, you will have to do it this time. I will reward you for making braised pork for me again in the evening."
"Women start to rebel when they have the ability, right? They also reward me for making food for you. It's a great idea. There are 40,000 people following you. Prepare early. I don't want to bury the yellow sand."
Zhang Xiaobao was also very happy. He didn't even have nightmares because he killed too many people. He would die a little bit. He was also full of blood at the beginning. He went to the local government to become an official. Who dared to use the people to threaten it?
The soldiers around were also relaxed. Although nearly a thousand people died in this battle, they were in power after all. What would it be for the soldiers to not fight? When will the enemy be honest and dare not make trouble again? Then when can they live a stable life and a peaceful life be forged with life.
Just like the song taught by General Juanjuan, if you don’t join the army, I won’t join the army, whoever comes to defend the motherland and whoever defends the family, whoever is afraid of death, people from the country are waiting to be bullied.
No matter what Zhang Xiaobao said, Wang Juan had to make what he ate. Others endured hardships when fighting, but his food was never bad. If you make a handful of wild vegetables, Xiaobao could also wrap it in a box and fry it.
After hearing what Zhang Xiaobao mentioned, Wang Juan was not worried. This was her field. He said, "Take it slow, there are still a few days before entering the desert. They dare not send light cavalry over. Well, I am worried about the few horses now. There are only a little more than 8,000 horses in total. There are still a thousand people who don't have horses. They run on the ground in rotation, which is dragged down and people are tired.
I know what they were trying to force us into the desert. They blocked us outside and looked for opportunities to destroy us. This time I let him know that our army is a strong army that can fight all the weather and all terrain. I will be useful to prepare and catch more prey."
Wang Juan did what he said, and sent people around to see if there were any wild animals to fight. If he encountered a small village, the poultry and livestock raised by the people were OK. If he exchanged weapons with the people, the people would be very willing.
The two people following behind did think so. They didn't have the courage to send cavalry to chase them, and they were easily plotted against them, but it was still easier to drive the Tang army into the desert. It would be clear what they should do when the time comes.
Kemu Kehu no longer has the right to make a decision. In fact, according to his idea, he is to fight now, fight the Tang army to death by one point, can the 40,000 people still fight the Tang army less than 10,000? But the army belongs to someone else and he can't command it. Can he go with the team or do they allow it to see him pitiful.
Kemu Kehu gathered his remaining soldiers, and together there were less than a thousand people. He barely gathered a battalion, and half of them were given to him by the two divisions. It turned out that the soldiers from Tata Naitu were recruited, otherwise he would not be able to get a battalion.
After following for two days, Kemu Kehu had almost rested. As long as he didn't think about the many people he died, he would be like ordinary people.
He always wanted to avenge so many people who died. Seeing that the Tang army ahead seemed to be unfast, he thought it was an opportunity, so he found another leader, Lufututa, and discussed with Lufututa to borrow some soldiers. No need to spend more, as long as he could get three thousand cavalry out, he took his men and ran to the front to harass him.
If you do this, at least the deployment of the Tang army will be disrupted. Otherwise, what's the point of walking slowly in front of you? Could it be that you are really afraid of being beaten and you will not have the courage to rush forward if you are more than 40,000 or more?
After hearing Kemukehu's thoughts, Lufututa refused very decisively. That means, Kemukehu, why do you dare to say that way? I don't know why your own soldiers were dealt with?
Kemu Kehu returned to his tent depressedly, looked at the soldiers in the first battalion of more than 700, shook his head, and had to give up this plan.
He felt that he had lost an opportunity, but Lufututa was moved. The reason why he refused Kemukehu was that he didn't want Kemukehu to succeed. After going back like that, Kemukehu could still make up for the defeat, which was not possible.
All that Kemu Kehu had to follow was that he had fought with the Tang army. Even if he lost, he would know a little about the Tang army in some ways.
Thinking of Kemukehu's plan, Lufututa was preparing to do it according to this arrangement.
Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao were still busy preparing, and Shuiyun flew to Pengzhou again. He probably would be able to come back in another hour and bring news from there.
Soon, night came. Zhang Xiaobao braised some wild vegetables for the spring cakes made by Wang Juan, and stir-fried some shredded pork with rabbit meat. He also made a bowl of soup with eggs from some birds that he picked.
Although the dishes are small, the cooking is simple and the taste is really good. Wang Juan beautifully rolled a cake and said to Zhang Xiaobao: "When we go back this time, why not open a small shop and find two people to be friends. I'll take charge of the account and you cook."
"We have a big shop, and you have to open a small shop, why don't you say I'm in charge of the account? I'm familiar with this and don't make it well. I'm just paying for it. I won't be exhausted if I make it delicious. Shuiyun is back, see what it says?"
Zhang Xiaobao was happy when he saw Wang Juan eating. Wang Juan had a good taste. Of course, he felt that it would be better if Wang Juan fell apart and watched him eat.
Shuiyun flapped her wings and fell down, rubbed her head intimately with Zhang Ying, and screamed twice. No one knew what it was going to express. She just watched Zhang Ying touch Shuiyun's head for a while, fed something, and then took down the things tied on her legs.
"Young master, little lady, here is the master's letter." Zhang Ying also knew a lot of words, and he knew who it belonged to when he saw the cover. He said when he handed it over.
"My father? What's wrong with my father? Is there something wrong with Yizhou?" Zhang Xiaobao took the letter and was puzzled.
"Maybe let's go back early. Xiaobei and the others probably thought about it, take a look." Wang Juan stuffed the last bit of cake into his mouth and said in a vague voice.
Zhang Xiaobao was also a little homesick. He didn't have high requirements. He could see his family every day. Most people couldn't understand the feeling of happiness. He took the letter apart, swept it from beginning to end, and threw it to Wang Juan, where he knocked his hands on his face to think about things.
Before Wang Juan could read the letter, she knew something was wrong when she saw Zhang Xiaobao's actions. Someone was thinking about it. She was still very serious. The consequences were probably not good.
When I took the letter, I saw that what my parents said to my children was saying, saying that it was cold, so be careful outside, and eat more meat, go back early, and run away if you really can't beat it. Don't fight with others stupidly, the family is pretty good.
What I wrote about later is the recent incident, saying that the people of Yizhou cooperated very well, and businessmen from other places also came to invest a lot. It is estimated that after the Chinese New Year, we will be able to find a foundation here. Even if we are gone, the people of Yizhou can continue to live a good life.
I have collected a lot of fruits and used to make fruit wine, and I have also collected grains. Recently, the price of grain has been much higher than before. In the past, a bucket of millet here was 16 cents, but now it has risen to 24 cents. Perhaps it will be reduced after everyone has harvested in the autumn. The family is not short of money, and it will be more expensive. It is important to plan to make wine early.
The hemp growth this year is good. I thought the price would be cheap, but it also rose by half. Many merchants here have heard about condom farming and started buying livestock and poultry. Thanks to my family who had bought a lot of mules in advance, should they get more of their own family, or let the people of Yizhou raise chickens on the mountain, just like in Sanshui County.
The letter wrote these things, without mentioning who had planned or who had stopped cooperating, nor did he say what kind of decree the court had come again, which seemed very ordinary.
Wang Juan was puzzled, what happened in this letter made Zhang Xiaobao do such a calculating move?
After waiting for a while, Wang Juan saw that Zhang Xiaobao was still pondering there, and finally couldn't help asking: "Xiaobao, have you encountered some trouble? You never thought about things for so long before."
Zhang Xiaobao shook his head, took the letter and read it from beginning to end, threw it aside and said, "Trouble, it's really troublesome. If I were at home, it would be easier to do it. I ran so far and could not do it anytime. You said that during the economic war, how slow it is, how fast it is, how fast it is?
When you are slow, you may not move for a year, just make arrangements slowly, and when you are fast, you will not be able to keep up with each other step later. Isn’t that trouble?"
"Ah? Let you read the letter, is it the economic war in it?" Wang Juan took the letter and looked carefully. It was okay. The price of grain is very common. Now it is about to have autumn harvest. It is the last round of price increase in trade prices. Then the price will drop, a lot.
Zhang Xiaobao nodded and said, "Well, the economic war is coming in full force. If I guess it is right, it must be the Tubo people who are operating behind the scenes and are still a master. I have never heard of this talent in Tubo? If I were not afraid of being in Yizhou at this moment, can he still make a fortune?"
"Why didn't I see it?" Wang Juan did not doubt Zhang Xiaobao's judgment. When a person like Xiaobao operated, it was like fighting. It was difficult to know as dark as the shadows, as moving as thunder, and also had his own rhythm, but she could not think of something wrong from the usual news in the letter.
After asking, Wang Juan thought about it again, but still thought that he hadn't figured it out. Touching Zhang Xiaobao asked again: "Don't tell me you're conscious?"
"Perception? Oh, perception sometimes is right, sometimes it is wrong. I believe in perception, but I believe in data analysis more. Let me tell you, look, the food has risen, it is very common. The last price increase before the autumn harvest should be reduced. Fortunately, in this process, I make a profit and purchase the food of farmers at a low price.
Macao has grown up, very common. Macao is also a crop. The condom is passed on, and most people don’t have any problems. After all, my father’s reputation is there. Looking at it separately, everything is under control, but it is not common to put them together.
In simplest way, our country's oil companies will carry out unified rectification in order to obtain greater profits in the future, so as to improve and standardize the technology of oil refining. So what consequences do you think will be?"
Zhang Xiaobao analyzed Wang Juan for a little and asked.
"The consequence? Of course, the price of refined oil has increased, but this behavior is wrong, and the rectification cannot be unified. It needs to be divided into batches. Otherwise, the impact on society is not good. Is it clearly a call with the country?" Wang Juan thought with Zhang Xiaobao's ideas.
"Yes, oil companies do this, so it must be that the faction behind them will call them again, especially when the world is about to change, because it affects not only refined oil, but also the overall economic environment of a society, and the stability of prices is supported by productivity and transportation industries.
The unified rectification of oil companies is to use their own losses to coerce a certain force. What if the electricity is limited? The transportation costs are increased and the energy consumption is increased. Only these two places can act simultaneously to make the social price rise reach more than 40%.
Zhang Xiaobao analyzed what might have happened to him and Wang Juan at that time, and then said: "What I want to say now is what my father wrote in his letter. Our plan for raising livestock is in our condom, but only pigs, sheep condoms and cows are still being tested.
My father's letter said that livestock and poultry are rising, and food and hemp are also rising. The problem lies in what my father said. Thanks to my family buying many mules in advance, you tell me how to keep mules? Mules can indeed have children by chance, but it is impossible for ordinary people to use this thing to keep them, right?"
Wang Juan nodded. Indeed, who is raising mules for what? Are you not going to give birth to a baby?
"If you say that, it is really the Tubo people who are taking action behind the scenes. They want to crack down on our transportation industry and thus make prices in Jiannan Road rise and the people live in poverty?" Wang Juan shivered. She knew the power of economic wars, such as Zimbabwe in the past, and the Soviet Union a little earlier.
"No, if this is the case, I really don't care. What's the problem with the transportation industry? We don't have trains, cars, and planes here. If we don't have animals, we can use people to pull them. Isn't there still a boat to transport them through the water?"
Zhang Xiaobao shook his head and said.
After hearing Zhang Xiaobao's words, Wang Juan suddenly realized that it was not really good if it was not in his own field. When it comes to war, Xiaobao could only think about adding something. He could not conduct real-time and reasonable command at all, and could not come up with too many tactical arrangements. But when it comes to economy, it is definitely Xiaobao's world. A letter from home was sent, and he could see the traces of war from it.
"Then tell me, what are they going to do? You care now?" Wang Juan leaned against Zhang Xiaobao very modestly and asked with a smile. She understood whoever was talking to her field, but she didn't believe that Xiaobao was really afraid.
Sure enough, Zhang Xiaobao smiled contemptuously and said, "Just rely on him? I am far away, and it is inconvenient to command back and forth. How dare you use small tricks with me? When I was using tricks, he...he has long been dead, don't laugh.
Juanjuan, should we take the initiative? It is best to sneak attack the logistics of the Tubo army. Tubo has no money and cannot afford to fight. If I guess it is correct, the court must have had new actions, and it is even bigger than we imagined. At least the actions in Pengzhou are obvious.
The money is just about fighting in war, and Tubo doesn’t want to lose. Some of them have long seen that something is wrong, so they want to make money. The purpose of the acquisition is not to *** us, but to develop them. So I said that the person behind the command is pretty good, and hey, I’m a pity!"
"I know what you are going to say. You want to say it, but unfortunately, when you meet you, don't blow it. Come and give you a cake. I'll eat less. Your cake tastes good, but it doesn't hurt to the point of eating it."
Wang Juan leaned against Zhang Xiaobao and rolled Zhang cake for him, stuffed it over and said.
"Broken noodles, how can I make the glutinous rice noodles? It's okay if I give you some rice noodles. I might as well make noodles for you tomorrow. After fermentation, it will be better than the one that is now. Well, just do it like that, and make soup dumplings for you."
Zhang Xiaobao took a bite of the cake, and it was indeed not good as Wang Juan said.
"What's the matter? What's the plan for Tubo?" Wang Juan asked with the cake.
Chapter completed!
