Chapter 1187: Diplomacy Is More Unfair than Water Buffalo

"Stones, put the stones, stir them hard, tie up the bamboo tendons, and build the city before it snows. Otherwise, it can only be made of ice."

By the Yellow River, soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who were building the city were mixing concrete.

The city wall was raised bit by bit. They had no vibration equipment and relied on people to put in the drills to shake it.

If I have to give a word to express it, it’s called ram.

The highland barley has been harvested, and a waterwheel has been set up on the bank of the Yellow River to use water power to shell the highland barley and grind it into flour.

The Tubo tribe exchanged things for highland barley noodles, steamed highland barley rice, and braised pork.

Now it is paid to build the city of Tang Dynasty, transporting, quarrying, mixing and so on.

The women help cook, and the children bring food and water, and they are also paid.

They discovered the magic of concrete and decided to do nothing when someone came later and told them to attack the city.

The city cannot be destroyed, how about climbing up? It was said that it was built several feet high.

There have been a lot of ships coming and going recently, and a mountain of explosives has arrived here, as well as flying monkeys, arrows, cotton-padded clothes and mattresses for the winter...

Bags of rice noodles, oil, alcohol, diesel, kerosene...

Can it be beaten down? To die?

The Tubo people don't want to die like this, it makes no sense.

Making catapults and arrow tower carts is still useless. The opponent has Sky Monkeys, which fly far away and will be blown to pieces before the catapults can enter the range.

The archery tower was slowly pushed forward, and a trebuchet on the city wall threw an explosive packet, causing the tower to collapse.

Catching up with the favorable wind direction, the hot air balloons of the Tang Army defending the city were launched forward with ropes attached, and they were unable to hit them.

No, why did the Tang army defend? They won't break out?

Life is very good now. I will exchange whatever I need with Tang Jun. I will exchange farm tools next year and then farm and raise livestock.

If you want to fight, you have to wait until the tribe's population has doubled. Don't fight a war that has no chance of winning.

"The temperature has gotten cooler over there at Sister Lake, and when the sun first comes up in the morning, there's frost on the grass around it."

Zhang Xiaosong led the team instead of going back and traveled to various places. He talked about the temperatures of Zhaling Lake and Eling Lake in the current month.

The altitude there is high and the temperature itself is low, as the short summer passes.

"In more than a month, the lake shores will freeze, and then the two lakes will freeze and we can travel on the ice."

Qin Li doesn't care about winter, winter has its own tricks.

If the Yellow River is completely closed, we can transport it on the ice. I hope this winter will be colder, otherwise some places will not be frozen.

"Aren't you going back in the winter?" Zhang Zhongliang hoped that Yu Linfei would be riding and the people from the Sixteenth Guards would come to take over, but they had never fought.

"I guess I can't go back. I'm going to stay and take charge while the others go back and send a new team to adapt to the climate."

Qin Li was not sure. If he was asked to leave, he had to go. He was willing to spend the winter there.

He is more familiar with the situation and does not rush forward. If someone else likes to play tactics, God knows what will happen.

If not, he would take advantage of the ice and snow to conduct a surprise attack deep behind enemy lines, then run away after the attack.

If the horses cannot bear the cold winter and are delayed somewhere, the Tibetan soldiers will encircle and suppress them, and the brothers will suffer heavy casualties.

I was sent here because no one who plays tactics can take a big advantage in front of me.

In a sandbox battle, even if you lose a small place or lose dozens or hundreds of people, your strategic position will remain unchanged.

What's more, it's not like I don't know how to raid. I've tricked my opponents in many sandbox battles.

Like Sima Yi in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, how can Zhuge Liang adjust? I keep my position, what can you do to me?

Of course, if Guo Changshi was sent to replace him, it would be Tubo who should be worried.

"Are you going back?" Zhang Zhongliang looked at Hao Lingquan again.

"I can't go back. Dongzhu Li told me when he asked me to come here that I will learn from you. I am afraid of getting into trouble as a general."

Hao Lingquan shook his head, he still hadn't fully adapted to his feelings.

Recently, he went to negotiate with three unstable Tubo tribes. The three tribes were persuaded by him and were willing to help build the city.

This is what he is most capable of, being sent abroad, contacting the other party, and deceiving the other party.

He had achieved great success like this before. It was so thrilling that he almost let people run away.

Zhang Zhongliang didn't think there was anything wrong with Hao Lingquan. At least the change in attitude of the three tribes was noticed by everyone.

Hao Lingquan dared to go there alone and succeeded three times in a row.

What's even more interesting is that he worshiped Fu Qian from three tribes.

He had agreed that the tribe would not take the initiative to attack the Tang Dynasty. As long as he was on this day, he would not let the Tang army harm the tribe's people.

He promised the three worshiping tribes that no one would die from freezing or starvation in the winter. The three tribes believed him and came to work for free.

Zhang Zhongliang always believed that Hao Lingquan should be a prime minister and be responsible for foreign affairs instead of being a general.

"General Hao, is there a kang on the table?" Wang Junkui also thought of Hao Lingquan's promise to the other tribe.

"It's done, but there are no bricks. It's easy to collapse if it's made of mud bricks. They said they're not afraid of it collapsing and they can build it again.

I discussed with them and they exchanged cow dung, horse dung, and sheep dung for coal with us.

Dongzhu Li said that he should plant medicinal materials, or find good medicinal materials, fertilize them next to them, and leave a mark. "

Hao Lingquan showed great respect for the military envoys and deputy envoys who could command the war.

"I'll write to Li Yi to tell you about your situation."

Guo Zhiyun then believed that Hao Lingquan was not suitable to be a general because he had a bigger stage.

"I also wrote a letter to see if medical staff can be dispatched. We need doctors. UUReading www.uukanshu.net

There are ninety people in Lijiazhuang, and Yulin Feiqi is a little more capable.

There are also medicines and equipment that the Guan Lin family needs, and the two children of the Guan Lin family are smart. "

Hao Lingquan didn't care, he was a general anyway.

Living and studying in Lijiazhuangzi, I have a peaceful mind and know that my achievements are nothing in front of Li Yi.

Everyone writes letters, and everyone writes according to their own ideas without communicating with others.

The letter will be sent out before dinner. According to the current distance and the delivery method of ten miles and one post, it can be delivered to Chang'an at midnight tomorrow.

…

"What, you dare to investigate my Yan family? Humph! I'll go find Zhang Jiuling and Huang An."

Yan Jie, who had just taken office in Guangzhou, received intelligence from Saiyuan County.

He was angry and wanted to ask clearly and question.

Zhang Jiuling and others were eating steamed rice rolls, and the recipe given by Li Yi was originally a famous snack in Guangzhou at that time.

Eat rice rolls stuffed with beef, buffalo.

The buffalo brought by Qin Shui was hit and killed by a ship.

The buffaloes were at the beach. A barbarian merchant's boat, with its sails open, washed up on the shore without knowing how to operate it, and killed the buffalo in Qinshui.

The other party paid the price of one hundred buffaloes, and then Tan Shui got rid of his 'cattle'.

She said that the buffalo was the cow that had accompanied her since she was a child. The Yi merchants chose to believe it when they saw a large group of mountain people armed with weapons.

Then the cow is rolled into the flour skin and steamed. Its value is indeed very high.

Tan Shui's family is in Luzhou, which belongs to Guangxi. Guangxi's buffaloes are used for terraced fields, and they are reluctant to kill them.

They were brought here to breed here. There are twenty of them in total, four males and sixteen females. One male died and it was difficult to distribute them.
