Chapter 973 Anxi Has One More Person

Li Longji was stunned, and the map over there appeared in his mind.

He was stunned, and Li Yi waited for a while, then picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat.

After Li Yi finished two pieces of braised pork ribs, Li Longji came to his senses.

He also picked up the chopsticks again: "Can Guo Zhiyun occupy it?"

"There are still a lot of garrisons and Jiedushi behind. The Jiedushi of Hexi went forward, and the rear does not need to be guarded. He needs supplies."

Li Yi believes in Guo Zhiyun. When there were no advanced weapons, Guo Zhiyun could break Tubo.

Now that the equipment is equipped, they know how to use it better for the generals on the front line.

The greater role of gunpowder is to scare the enemy's horses. Horses that have not been specially trained will inevitably panic when they hear the explosion.

They are not giant pandas. When giant pandas hear the noise, they will look curiously and not run.

Like a stupid roe deer, it runs when the hunter chases it, and it stops and looks back when the hunter shouts.

If Guo Zhiyun does not make good use of gunpowder weapons, he might as well hit his head on tofu and die.

"Need to form a fleet?" Li Longji said, picking up the wine bowl and drinking yellow wine.

"The propeller team will enter the Yellow River, and the steamship team will enter the Wei River. When they reach the source of the Wei River, they will be supported by manpower, and the goods will be transported by land for a while and then delivered to the Yellow River."

Li Yi couldn't wait for the artificial canal to be repaired, so he sent people to deliver it first.

Going ashore from the source of the Wei River, transporting it, there is no need to go through the big "Ji" bend of the Yellow River.

"The boat in front will deliver the goods to the soldiers, and then return to the position before the "Ji" bend, load the goods, turn around and deliver again.

The propeller boat goes through the Hukou Waterfall, which is fast. After passing, it also loads and unloads before the "Ji" bend.

There are things to buy and sell in the northwest region, which will help the people benefit, and the war will not affect domestic business.

Other ships go through the Hukou Waterfall, and transport to and from Huaiyuan and places below to meet the buying and selling needs of the people in the "Ji" bend."

Li Yi told Li Longji what he had planned.

It would be a sin if the water power of the Yellow River is not used well.

Li Longji put down the bowl: "Who should be sent to supplement the Jiedushi? Once the place is occupied, three to four Jiedushi are needed."

Li Longji asked for names, who is more suitable?

There are many Jiedushi in the northwest, one next to the other.

The purpose is to give the Jiedushi greater autonomy. If one person controls too much, everyone has to listen to him.

The information exchange delays time. When he knows the situation, it may be too late to respond.

There are more Jiedushi, each responsible for a small area. Once something happens, he will respond immediately, either alone or in cooperation with other Jiedushi.

Like this time with Guo Zhiyun, he cooperated with the Jiedushi of Longyou.

"The court can arrange people, find people who can fight, and teach those generals of Guo Ziyi. Don't worry about any of them suddenly rebelling. If they dare to rebel, I will go there to solve it myself."

Li Yi couldn't give a specific person, how could he know who was powerful.

Guo Ziyi was powerful, but Guo Ziyi was still young, with Yulin flying cavalry.

Geshuhan was powerful. Geshuhan was fourteen years old this year.

Wang Zhongsi is very powerful. He is twelve years old this year.

All those who know are young now, so just send them randomly. They should be good. The Tang Dynasty has no shortage of capable generals now.

The Tang Dynasty currently has a war system, and the generals all learn the same things.

Soldiers can fight, weapons are good, as long as the generals are not too stupid, they will basically not lose.

"Well." Li Longji did not ask, he thought Li Yi was giving face to the prime ministers, otherwise Li Yi would have the final say, what would the prime ministers do?

The two of them had dinner and talked about how to occupy more Tang Dynasty land.

The first battlefield on the other side was the place where someone was sent to say that someone was going to fight.

This morning, a 10,000-man Tang cavalry was moving quickly, one person and three horses, belonging to the Anxi Protectorate.

The leader was not Tang Jiahui, but Zhang Xiaosong, who should have been imprisoned for corruption in history but has not been arrested now.

Zhang Xiaosong was so crazy before, he took down hundreds of cities in a row, beat them all, and slaughtered three cities.

Then some people said that he was corrupt, and they didn't know whether he was corrupt himself or was being plotted against.

Li Yi disagreed, so he was corrupt, and continued to stay there.

He was there, but he didn't suppress Sulu, and today he fought earlier than history.

When Zhang Xiaosong saw the battle, he asked for 10,000 cavalry, took things, and went around in circles.

He didn't care about Sulu, and he didn't care about Tubo.

He went to find the White-robed Arabs, who sent more than 20,000 troops. Zhang Xiaosong brought 10,000 cavalry, and he thought it was more than enough.

In the Western Regions, who can play better than him?

Ten thousand cavalry are not afraid of fighting at all, and they are following Zhang Xiaosong.

"If I had such a good weapon last time, I could have fought to the end, and running in the mountains and forests would not work."

Zhang Xiaosong held a homemade grenade in his hand, and he was confident that he could defeat the White-robed Arabs in one battle.

He weighed the grenade that would not explode if it fell to the ground, and shouted: "Your Majesty has made me a national hero. I don't want anything I get from this battle. Except for handing it over, the brothers will share it."

His personal soldiers shouted along, telling the whole army to boost morale.

Sure enough, the 10,000 soldiers were like chicken blood, eager to fight.

The team was moving very fast, and as they walked, there was less grass on the ground.

Zhang Xiaosong ordered the troops to stop and look elsewhere with a telescope: "Raise the hot air balloon."

As he ordered, someone took the box off the horse and began to assemble and spray fire.

After two quarters of an hour, the hot air balloon could be launched, with a rope tied below.

"Come on, a flag soldier, follow me up." Zhang Xiaosong went up by himself. He wanted to see the terrain, mainly the grass, and he was familiar with the terrain.

A messenger went up, and the hot air balloon rose.

Zhang Xiaosong held up a telescope and looked for a while, then said to the messenger beside him: "Move southwest, twenty miles, go down."

The flag signalman signaled, and the people on the ground used telescopes to convey the order. The large group of people moved southwest and turned.

The people below collected the rope and pulled the hot air balloon down.

You can't run with a rope tied to it, or the hot air balloon will lose balance.

The hot air balloon landed, the blowtorch was put away, and Zhang Xiaosong led people to chase the team.

When we arrived at the location, there were loess bags here, and there was not much grass around.

It needs a rain before the grass can grow. It is still very cold at this time, and it gets colder as we go northwest.

"Eat, raise the hot air balloon, and immediately lower it if we find the enemy. Don't let the enemy see the hot air balloon. Others, take the explosive packs, grenades, and fuses and follow me."

Zhang Xiaosong gave orders again, ＵU看书 www. uukanshu.net He walked forward by himself.

He didn't ride a horse, because riding would leave traces.

A group of people followed him with things, and the fuse was invented by him.

Hand grenades and explosive packs need to be ignited, and there is a fuse.

The fuse is relatively short, so he soaked a thin hemp rope in grease, dried it, and extended the fuse.

He thought that it would be better to bury this thing to scare the cavalry, and it was not for defending or attacking the city, so such a short line was useless.

After walking for a full half an hour, a protruding grassland appeared in front of him, mainly because there was a stream flowing through.

The streams in the northwest always change their course, and they disappear while flowing, and a new stream emerges from somewhere else.

Even the big rivers are like this, depending on the wind and sand and wind direction.

Where there is water, the grass is dense, a large area of ​​grass.

"Use a shovel to dig, and dig together with the grass." Zhang Xiaosong ordered when he arrived at the place.
