Chapter 1173 Seeking the Essence of Human Survival

"It's raining again. Winter here is earlier than elsewhere." Guo Zhiyun looked at the heavy rain outside in the military camp at Border Pass, where the Yellow River is located.

It rained very heavily today, and the direction of the clouds is moving eastward. It is estimated that there will be a lot of rain along the Yellow River and the water will rise.

When the water rises, it flows faster, affecting ships coming from that direction.

Qin Li stood aside and looked up at the sky. The sky was dark, even though the sun should have risen by this time.

"We need medicinal materials. Now that the situation is stable, let's send the Feather Flying Cavalry back, and let them send thousands of Feather Forest Flying Cavalry over there to bring the medicine."

Wang Junkui doesn't like the current weather. It's hot during the day and wet and cold at night.

But Zhang Xiaosong didn't care, it was just a big temperature difference, and he was already used to it.

"The places where the explosive packs and Sky Monkeys are placed are rotated every day. They are all placed in places where the charcoal has been burned and dried. The things from Shu are still being delivered. You have almost spent the five hundred thousand coins, right?"

Zhang Zhongliang was calculating the logistics, and there was a steady stream of things sent from Shu. After calculation, he thought that there would not be much money left.

Qin Li shook his head: "How can half a million coins be spent so quickly? In the past, when the imperial court fought, hundreds of thousands of coins could be fought for two years.

Even if it is really not enough, the proprietor will find a way to send the things here back and they will soon be turned into money.

Is there no movement in Tubo? The court's letter was sent back. They knew the place was occupied, so why didn't they fight back? "

"It's impossible this year. When the troops are mobilized and morale is stabilized, the Yellow River should be frozen. If the river can be crossed, are they going to take the initiative to attack?"

Zhang Xiaosong analyzed it from another angle.

Tubo had no time to fight directly, and the surrounding tribes lost their morale to continue fighting.

How many new soldiers can there be? If the quantity is too small, we cannot fight. If the quantity is too large, who will be responsible for the logistics?

When the Yellow River freezes over, it seems that crossing the river will be easy, but it will be easy on both sides.

In such a cold weather, livestock won’t eat grass? Or people won’t eat?

It can only increase the scale of the confrontation and cannot make an effective breakthrough.

What to do in winter? Keep working hard on logistics!

This war is fought for money.

In the past, would Datang have withdrawn its troops? It would not be able to support the expeditionary force.

Now Li Yi may be preparing to transport more supplies here, and is making ships and firearms every day.

There are also grains, meat, spices and other things purchased from other places.

For the first time, Zhang Xiaosong discovered the decisive role of money in war, which was different from when he led 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers to fight in the Western Regions.

At that time, the emphasis was on surprise and speed.

Playing it safe at this moment? Everyone is fighting for supplies.

Tubo's supplies are unclear, but the supplies of his own team are absolutely powerful.

We all had canned fruits and canned chestnut chicken.

There is no shortage of meat in the local area. It’s okay not to eat canned meat. But when it is delivered, it does not mean eating, but a will.

When fighting at the front, fruits, meat, and vegetables will be sent to the rear. Wherever the fight is, they will be sent to them.

The morale is different. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty don't need to eat canned food. There are canned food for the sick people and only those who are injured or healthy can eat it.

There is a huge difference between wanting to eat and not wanting to eat. They are two different things.

"They have sent us some braised pork and highland barley rice made in the pressure cooker. They are probably stocking up."

Fan Fan has a notebook in his hand, which records how many things the other party exchanged.

According to the proprietor, people's behavior has a purpose. When the other party exchanges a large amount, the other party should be stocking up.

Why doesn't the other party make their own sausages and dried meat? It's probably because prey is easier to hunt, and the food they make themselves doesn't taste good.

Or maybe he was also making it, but used this act of exchange to paralyze Datang, causing Datang to misjudge its reserves.

Guo Zhiyun looked at the rain curtain calmly: "It doesn't matter, the longer we delay, the greater our advantage will be, and Li Yi will not give up such an opportunity.

He is a person who is hard to see through, but he always makes no mistakes in the general trend and grasps the details perfectly. "

“Looking back now, Li Yi spent several years planning, vigorously developing farming technology, and looking for new high-yielding seeds.

Research different food storage methods, as well as weapon refinement and yield increase.

Fortunately, he is from the Tang Dynasty. If it were Tibet, it is estimated that there would be no attack on the Tang Dynasty in the next few years.

When waiting to attack, the Tang Dynasty will realize that it is impossible to defend, just like when we conquered the Yellow River territory. "

Wang Junkui said that he was convinced. The more he thought about Li Yi, the more he discovered that Li Yi was extraordinary.

Some people are great at internal affairs and specialize in making money, while others are great at work and ask people to create new things.

Some people are outstanding in farming and provide more food for the court.

The other is the strategic and tactical deployment, which starts from the court and is implemented at the border.

Look at Li Yi, he is proficient in everything, and what is even more terrifying is politics.

Anyone who wants to gain the support of the entire court must have to fight and compromise in various ways?

Not Li Yi. Li Yi used a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west. The officials in the court were led away by him, and all the struggles were like a joke.

The officials did not have any direct hatred or restraint against him. The ministers only made demands on him based on their respective positions.

When he met the requirements, the ministers thought it was OK.

Looking at the historical dynasties, which person can achieve this? Li Yi did it.

He has a good personal relationship with any official. He always gives gifts and looks like a junior.

He also helps with official matters, but he doesn't want political achievements.

"How can there be such people in the world?" Wang Junkui thought and couldn't help but mutter.

He thought Li Yi was the best in the world, but he didn't know that Li Yi had a real best in the world at that time.

He had no children, no property, and no ashes. He could scold the person lying in the crystal coffin, and at most it was a debate.

But he couldn't be scolded. Scolding him didn't belong to the category of debate. Many people just scolded him back.

"Come here to exchange things. One hundred riders, with many mountain goats, all dead."

While Wang Junkui was thinking, people from the tribe appeared in front of him and someone greeted them.

Recently, the tribes of Tubo have always come to exchange things, exchange prepared medicines, and even women give birth to children and ask Guan Lin's family to help.

Guan Lin's family has forceps and other auxiliary things, and they are studying cesarean section and blood transfusion recently.

Because books and a large number of instruments were sent, there are also operating instructions.

They first used cattle and sheep for experiments, and then waited for people.

The day before yesterday, they cut open a person from the Tubo tribe. They really couldn't give birth, so they tried to do it.

Then he lived. So far, mother and child are safe. The mother has a little fever, and she suppressed it again and again, and she has milk to feed the child.

The people who performed the operation were Guan Lin's mother and wife. They were witch doctors, so they were cruel, even to themselves.

The key point is that the mother who had a difficult delivery survived, and her son also survived and is now recovering.

In the Tubo tribe, the mother and son were judged to be dead, which was impossible.

With the last glimmer of hope, they sent the child here on horseback. UU看书www.uukkaｎshu.net

The leader and the tribe members had given up thinking about it. They sent the child here for comfort. We sent the child to the miracle doctor of the Tang Dynasty. It's not that we didn't try hard.

Who would have thought that after sending the child here, the child was cut open and survived.

The child was taken out of the belly directly, and a big incision was made. Now the mother and child are alive, and the mother can still breastfeed.

The tribe approved it, because they could find any reason to say that you can't save the child.

Death is normal. Why send the child to your Tang Dynasty doctor if he can survive?

They didn't just deal with it, they really tried their best, just like treating their own people, and used all their skills.

The tribesmen had nothing to say. When they confronted each other on the bank of the Yellow River, the Tang Dynasty did not fight directly.

When the commander had problems and everyone ran away, the people of the Tang Dynasty caught up and told them that they could live in peace.

When they felt that life was difficult, the people of the Tang Dynasty exchanged things for them.

When they were sick, the doctors of the Tang Dynasty treated them.

Send women with difficult labor to the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty will help give birth to the children and raise them so carefully.

Is this the Tang Dynasty? Exchange them, as long as there are things, exchange them, and go there to treat the sick.

What war? That has nothing to do with us. What is the purpose of the war?

To make yourself eat better? We already have one.

Catch others to work, and you can work yourself.

It is glorious to die in battle, why do I have to die? My wife gave birth to a child and sent them there, and they helped.

It is said that there will be frostbite cream, face cream, lipstick, anti-malarial pills, floral water, kerosene lamps, thermos bottles...

All can be exchanged, you don't need to fight to get them, but you definitely won't get them if you fight, unless you fight to Chang'an and capture Li Yi alive.

Since you don't need things that can be obtained through war, why do you need war?

Is it easier to attack the Tang Dynasty or to catch blue sheep?

Is it easier to rob things from the Tang Dynasty or to raise sheep and yaks?
