Both of them were hungry, and a bowl of noodles the size of a human head went into their stomachs in the blink of an eye.
Putting down the big bowl and burping beautifully, Li Shimin leaned on the back of the chair and crossed his legs and said to Xiao Han: "Hey, we are leaving tomorrow! We will go back to Chang'an first, take a short rest, and then go to Shanxi immediately.
Yang, you can go with me when the time comes!"
Xiao Han also put down his bowl, looked at Li Shimin and asked strangely: "Should I go too? That's not here, we are attacking the city! What are you going to do if I can't lift it with my hands or carry it on my shoulders?"
Li Shimin looked up at the roof, lost in thought, and said in a slightly ethereal voice: "It's just because we are attacking the city, so I asked you to go! I won't hide these things from you. We must conquer Jinyang! Xue Shou of Chang'an
, Chai Shao, Luo Shixin and the others have already set off for Jinyang. And when I arrive with the people here, it will be time to end things with Liu Wuzhou!"
"So urgent?" Hearing this, Xiao Han's hands couldn't help but tremble. He remembered that Xiao Lizi had been fighting this battle for more than a year before finally winning. Why did things still change?
Li Shimin didn't notice Xiao Han's strangeness, but just sighed deeply and said: "Yes, it's urgent! This battle involves almost half of our country's troops! I just hope it can be fought before autumn arrives!
Jinyang is in a special location, too close to the Turks! In spring and summer, the Turks are busy feeding cattle and sheep, so they generally don't come out.
But in autumn, when the cattle and sheep are fat and the horses are at their strongest, and the cold winter is about to pass, they will take the opportunity to enter the Central Plains and plunder! They want treasure, food, and people! If we and we are at this time
Liu Wuzhou has not yet come to an end, it will be really troublesome!"
Xiao Han nodded and said to Xiao Lizi: "So, you want to deal with Jinyang quickly? Securing the interior first before fighting the outside world?"
Li Shimin continued to look at the roof and said: "Yes, that's the truth! So I need to concentrate all my strength! Xiao Han, don't belittle yourself! The battlefield is not a simple competition to see who is stronger! Your miscellaneous knowledge is unparalleled in the world. Xue Shou
Both Changsun Wuji and Changsun Wuji once said that at certain times, you alone can defeat thousands of troops!"
"Haha, jam, jam!" Xiao Han squinted and laughed, being so complimented by someone, especially this person was Xiao Lizi! His vanity was greatly satisfied at this moment. As for what Li Shimin said, Yu Qingyu
Even Xiao Han couldn't refuse! In today's world, it is impossible for people to lie at home and enjoy wealth! So without even hesitating, Xiao Han nodded and agreed.
"Okay! In that case, I have nothing else to do! Then you will be temporarily assigned to the logistics camp, and we will return to Chang'an together! Let's meet Liu Wuzhou together!"
After everything was said and done, Li Shimin stopped staying any longer. After all, the army was about to set off, and he, the coach, needed to make decisions on everything!
Xiao Han said goodbye to Li Shimin and couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he looked at the street. He had just become familiar with this place, but he was about to leave in a blink of an eye. He didn't know when he would be able to visit his place again.
An old peach tree on the street is in bloom, and it's full of pink! The ground around it is also covered with a layer of fine petals. It's a pity that no one appreciates such a beautiful scenery, and I can only sigh at the flowers.
The handcart is no longer called a handcart. I heard that Changsun Shunde disliked its tongue-in-cheek name and changed it to a wheelbarrow. Xiao Han was almost shocked because in later generations its correct name was a wheelbarrow!
Nowadays, such simple vehicles are all over the streets, and I don’t know how many sets the craftsmen have made. The sergeants now use them not only to transport salt ore and refined salt, but also to transport various other materials.
, including the stones used to defend the city, are now being transported with it. After all, it is much more flexible than an ox cart for walking through the streets and alleys.
Someone in the north of the city was beheaded. They were bandits who were found guilty of murder after being captured.
Xiao Han didn't go to see the beheading. He always felt that the rolling heads were really unsightly. Why couldn't he find someone to give him a glass of poisonous wine and let him drink it and walk away clean? He had to make it so bloody.
Well!
If Xiao Han didn't go, Xiaodong naturally wouldn't go either, but the stubborn fool ran to see it with great interest.
And he not only watched, but when he came back, he vividly told Xiao Han and the others how lively the scene was, how those vicious bandits knelt down and begged for mercy! And how high the blood surged after the executioner cut off the head!
What the idiot said was too true. I don’t know why a person who can’t hit a fart with three sticks on weekdays is so excited about this kind of thing! Listening to this, Xiao Han couldn’t help but think of that kind of scene! In order not to have nightmares at night, Xiao Han had to
Tong Xiaodong beat him up...
The poor idiot finally stopped after being pushed to the ground and kicked violently by the two men. With tears in his eyes, he went to Baolv Xiaoji to complain.
The unscrupulous businessman Xinpeng disappeared, which made Xiao Han, who wanted to cause trouble for him, a little disappointed. I heard from others that he returned to Chang'an early in the morning with the contract to build a cement kiln, and Changsun Shunde had long planned to take advantage of this time to build a cement kiln.
The city walls of Xiazhou City were also strengthened and strengthened.
Everything in the city seemed to be going on in an orderly manner, everyone was busy, except Xiao Han who was a little idle.
As the sun sets and the sun rises, it’s time to set off in a blink of an eye.
The Yellow River was difficult to cross, so Li Shimin needed to return to Chang'an and then head all the way north.
When we came, we only had a few horses, but when we left, we had thousands of troops.
Li Shimin took away most of the soldiers and horses, leaving less than 10,000 people for Changsun Shunde, but Changsun Shunde didn't care.
He is waiting until the scale of the salt mine is further expanded, and then the merchants coming over will bring enough manpower to defend the city! Businessmen are often more fierce than soldiers who dare to infringe on their own interests!
The army set off, and at the front were Li Shimin and the Xuanjia Army. The Xuanjia Army still numbered less than a thousand, and the number of Xuanjia made for them in Xiao Han's fiefdom had long been more than a thousand, but Li Shimin would rather put the Xuanjia aside than let it go.
The requirements for joining the Low Xuanjia Army.
There were too many people in the army and the line was too long. The front army was five miles away before the rear army could start marching.
Xiao Han sneaked into the logistics camp early. Before setting off, he prepared the donkey cart, put it on Xiao Ji, and piled a pile of military uniforms on the cart like a covert. Xiao Han was so comfortable lying on it that he made a sound.
Xiaodong was driving the car in front, and Lengzi was driving the car. The steward and several other family generals were left in Xiazhou City to guard the newly entered property. Only Uncle Lengzi was dutifully escorting a cart full of belongings and goods.
Tea medicine.
Zhang Huhu of Menghu Village is no longer a bandit. He has honorably enlisted in the army and became an auxiliary soldier. Unlike other auxiliary soldiers, he needs to go to the battlefield, which is something he fought hard for.
Although his kung fu looks like a sideshow in front of Qin Qiong, among the soldiers, he is also a top-notch existence! As long as he can make contributions, promotion will be a matter of time!
Glancing enviously at Xiao Han on the donkey cart, Zhang Laohu lowered his head and hurried forward. Whatever his father could earn, he could also earn back!
Chang'an is a full five hundred miles away from Xiazhou. It can be reached in one day on horseback, but it takes six days to march.
There is really nothing to say about rushing along. Fortunately, it is really safe here. Therefore, you can relax during the march. At least you don't have to worry about the enemy suddenly rushing in.
