Chapter 561
The workshops in Bingcheng are busy, and they have made a lot of compressed food. Even if they work overtime, the production is limited. In order to adapt to this kind of food, everyone keeps three pieces of food.
Just let them use three compressed biscuits as rations for ten days, which are all planned training. After persisting, you can have a big meal.
It is considered a benefit for ten days of training, and Li De has offered another condition. After ten days is the foundation, the more benefits one day will be maintained. The limit is up to fifteen days. If you reach the limit, you will be promoted to one level directly.
With such a generous reward, everyone wants to fight for it. They can insist that Xiali's soldiers become elites, elites become team leaders, team leaders become team leaders, team leaders become team leaders, and team leaders become squadron leaders...
Now the regular team has reached 150,000 troops. This upgrade method can give them great encouragement. In the past, they were all from Pingku family and had experienced hunger.
After coming to the Pioneer Army, I had no worries or food problems, and I had never been hungry except for training. Now I asked them to use three pieces of compressed food to persist, which is possible for elite guards. They have all experienced such training.
Unfortunately, they were not allowed to participate in this event, and they all became supervisory instructors. The soldiers were very active, and in their opinion they were just persisting for more than ten days.
Li De's training is to allow soldiers to adapt to this kind of food. Anyway, if you complete it within fifteen days, you will be qualified and surpass it and you will be benefited.
There are no restrictions on the soldiers participating in the event. After all, the yield of compressed food is limited, and people who participate in the workshop are not allowed to participate, but the main meal will still be distributed with compressed food.
The purpose is to allow the soldiers to adapt to this food. After reasonable arrangements, their training will be nearing the end after the snow melts, and they will all enter a combat state.
Li De's research on compressed food was very successful, and it also developed in the construction of a breeding workshop in one winter. In winter, the captive rooms of the breeding farm were filled with kangs, and soldiers who had seen them were envious of these livestock.
There is still people who are good food and drink every day, but the environment is really unspeakable.
"Grandmaster, the current reserves of the food workshop are enough to allocate rations for half a month for 10,000 soldiers and horses, and have reached the production limit. At this speed, 50,000 soldiers and horses can be brought for ten days for rations after spring plowing." He Bida made various reports.
Compressed food is the key to combat preparation for food and grass. The current output is already a bottleneck, not because of insufficient manpower, but enough grains such as eggs require transportation by merchants.
After talking about some combat preparations, He Bida continued: "Yang Xuangan has been besieged by the Li family's soldiers in Penglai. Should we send troops to suppress the bandits?"
Li De was a little curious. He heard that Duke Li Yuan of Tang had already launched an attack on Yang Xuangan before the beginning of winter. Why has the snow almost been spent?
"Grandmaster, the Duke of Tang attacked Yang Xuangan because it was a bit slow, perhaps because of other considerations, and there were not much casualties between the two sides." He Bida said.
Li De immediately understood that the current situation was just a test.
If the Duke of Tang did not defeat Penglai directly, there must be something he did not know about.
Li De’s guess was nothing wrong with that Duke of Tang Li Yuan was a smart man, and the reason why he was so slow was just to show Emperor Yang of Sui.
Penglai is in a very good location, close to the beach, but Li Yuan defeated Yang Xuangan first and did not get the opportunity to manage Penglai, which was equivalent to working for Emperor Yang of Sui for nothing.
According to this situation, the benefits discussed before became negotiable.
Many people don’t understand why the 30,000 soldiers of the Li family did not defeat Yang Xuangan. Even after He Bida discussed with the commanders, if it were replaced by a lower abdomen, it would be possible to defeat the enemy in a few days after he went to the place.
The combat effectiveness of the Li family's soldiers is quite powerful, why can't they be defeated?
"Grandmaster, with the strength of the Li family's soldiers, it shouldn't be able to hold the battle for so long. Could it be that Duke Tang has other plans?" He Bida asked.
"He Bida, you have really grown up." Li Dedao.
"Then the Grand Governor is willing to solve our doubts!" He Bida asked.
Li De was silent for a moment and said, "It is not difficult to explain that the Duke of Tang was a very revengeful person. According to the information provided by Hong Mudan, the first thing the Li family did after arriving in Penglai was to restor the people."
He Bida suddenly understood and immediately knew why. What the Duke of Tang wanted was influence. Simply put, it was the hearts of the people. Yang Xuangan's rebellion was a great rebellion.
The Emperor's order to conquer the Li family was reasonable. The first thing he did after arriving in Penglai was to appease the people. Who could do this? And why should we win over the people?
The Duke of Tang was considering influence, the reputation of the Li family, and put the lives and life of the people first. Although there was no war, the war had already begun since they arrived.
"Duke Tang knew that even if he defeated Yang Xuangan, he would get something, but it would be a quellion. If he could take root in Penglai, this was the goal." Li Dedao.
"It shouldn't be possible to manage Penglai by Duke Tang's government in Taiyuan Prefecture, so why not take root?" He Bida said in confusion.
"You forgot that they are winning the hearts of the people, and they have a great goal!" Li Dedao.
He Bida thought about it. A man of the country had a big plan, so he didn't have to guess anything more when he said this.
"So that's it. It seems that the Li family's reputation for protecting the country and safe people has been earned this time." He Bida sighed.
He now understands that it will be much easier to do things after having a good reputation. Recruiting soldiers and horses is of great help. When He Bida thought of this, he suddenly asked: "Why should we protect the country and the people!"
"Of course, it's just that the matter will be solved by the troops from Youzhou. If Duke Tang wants to safeguard the people, he will satisfy them. Yang Xuangan's troops will be solved by the vanguard." Li De said calmly.
He Bida understood that the vanguard troops sent troops to solve the problem of Yang Xuangan's efforts, which was also a way to fight to support the war.
"But can the people of the Li family wait until after the spring plowing?" He Bida said in confusion.
If Yang Xuangan had been solved by the Li family before the vanguard troops set out, wouldn't they have nothing to do?
"What the Li family wants is the hearts of the people, and it is impossible to obtain them through war. What the people want is a stable life. Duke Tang knows this deeply. As long as Yang Xuangan does not take the initiative to deal with them, the state of both sides will continue."
"You should have some understanding of Yang Xuangan's situation. The scholars are so angry that they wish to continue to stalemate like this to give them time to develop." Li De explained.
He Bida felt that according to Li De's analysis, they might really continue like this.
"If it weren't for the military city, I would have liked to meet Yang Xuangan for a while." He Bida said.
It is definitely not a hero who cherishes heroes, but just wants to see what kind of person who dares to rebel openly under such a headwind.
