"If we can build a bridge over the Yellow River, it will be more convenient for us to travel back and forth." Zhang Zhongliang led the team to Guo Zhiyun.
The tribe that Qin Li chased after Zasykuzé was blocked by the Yellow River.
At this time, they had to take a long detour from the south or use a raft to cross the river.
Zhang Zhongliang talked to Guo Zhiyun. He had brought a lot of Baggage with him. He was going to wait for the team to conquer the place in front of them and then build a fortification by the Yellow River.
As for crossing the Yellow River, they had to think of another way. The Tubo people would definitely stop them on the other side.
In this season, the Yellow River had a lot of water. Some of the tributaries were very urgent.
"We have boats. Let's defend along the Yellow River and wait for more boats from the imperial court to come." Guo Zhiyun had already thought of a way.
They would wait for the imperial court and the boats behind them. They would build more rafts, bamboo rafts and wooden rafts.
There was not enough time to build the boats. Once the boats were built, they would definitely be ready for use for a long time.
The rafts could be used for a few months. When the time came, they would be used to build the stronghold.
"When I came out, the Baggage Army in front of the Shu Lands was only a day's journey away from me." Zhang Zhongliang talked about the supplies from the Shu Lands.
He only had one comment. It was fast. Whether it was the people from Shu Lands or the people along the way, they all fought with their lives.
Every time the battle report was sent, they would be anxious.
The soldiers in front were advancing and killing the enemy. If the supplies were sent late, the soldiers would starve and lose the battle. There would be no chance for regrets.
Wang Junkui pursed her lips. "When the place is secured, send a large number of sheep and livestock to the Shu Lands first. The price must be cheap."
"Li Yi wants medicinal herbs. We will plant those that can be planted. We can't harvest all of them at once." Guo Zhiyun thought of Li Yi.
Qin Li came back with his team. At the same time, he brought many medicinal herbs and wild animals.
While the Winged Knights and the others waited, they went to look for medicinal herbs and mushrooms, saying that they would bring them to Li Dongzhu.
Unfortunately, it was not the season to pick snow lotus. Otherwise, it would be better to bring snow lotus back. Snow lotus could be used as medicine. It was in Li Dongzhu's medical book, but it was not available anywhere else.
The snow lotuses in Shu Di and Lan Zhou were different from the snow lotuses here. The effect of the snow lotuses here was better.
Li Dongzhu said that if there was a snow lotus, he could take it back and plant it himself. He had Taibai Mountain.
When Guo Zhiyun heard this, he wanted to help. He knew that Li Yi would not rely on selling medicine to make money.
He had also heard from the Winged Knights that the Li Family Zhuangzi would normally give away cheap medicine.
If the other party was in a special situation, better medicine could also be given.
The number of people from the capital office who went to ask for medicine had decreased. Everyone's standard of living had improved, so they would spend their own money to buy medicine.
When the number of foreigners increased, they would usually find someone to take a look at them after they fell sick. Then, they would take the prescription to the Li Family Zhuangzi.
"Let's take over first. Rest today, we will move out tomorrow." Zhang Zhongliang rubbed his face. The wind was too strong, and it was uncomfortable.
He had skincare cream, but he could not use it. He would use it secretly at night. If the other soldiers did not have it, he would use it directly.
He brought a large number of resources and people with him. He wanted to cooperate with Guo Zhiyun to form an absolute advantage and scare away the Tubo people.
The tactic was to destroy the enemy, and the strategy was to take over the land.
"There is no hurry. Chang 'an Express said that the Anxi Provincial Governor had a large number of horses. They will leave the other things behind, and the horses will be given to us."
Wang Junkui was thinking about the captured Tubo troops. They had horses.
The soldiers of Hexi and Longyou Provincial Governor knew how to ride horses. Even if they were infantry, they would find opportunities to practice.
What if they caught a horse on the battlefield and did not know how to ride it?
"We must finish setting up the camp before winter. When it snows, it will be more difficult than Longyou." Zhang Zhongliang's troops were at the front.
He did not like winter. The horses did not eat well. Before winter came, the soldiers had to cut grass in advance.
When winter came, other than hay, there was also barley to feed the horses.
The sheep could only be driven to places with grass. Otherwise, if the sheep could not eat grass, they would use their hooves to scratch the ice. Once their hooves were worn out, the sheep would die.
The better thing now was that they knew how to make silage. The horses could be fed a little, and the sheep could eat a little more.
In this way, winter was relatively easier to pass at crucial times. There was silage.
Now, even Tubo, Tuqishi, and Tujue knew how to make silage. It was written in the newspapers, and their people would send the newspapers back.
Silage was not difficult to learn, and everyone started to use it.
People in these places might be slow to learn other things, but when it came to breeding, they learned very hard.
… …
At the same time, Zasykuzé's body was a little weak, but he no longer had a fever.
The tribes next to him sent people over to ask about the situation and send some things to the commander.
After asking, they hurried back to report and see if their Fu Qian wanted to fight.
There were too many enemies, and they also had powerful weapons. Just the Winged Knights alone numbered more than 10,000.
The commander's men were reduced to less than 300, and the commander fled back.
Zasykuzé only heard the reports of the other Qianhu. He did not know the specific situation.
What he knew was that the Qianhu of the tribes was behind the Yellow River. The people of the Qianhu were preparing things to cross the river.
It was a sheepskin raft. It was sewn without any gaps. When the wind blew, the raft was placed on it.
This action was obviously to prepare to escape.
This included packing up their belongings and organizing the livestock.
Zasykuzé did not blame the Qianhu. The Military forces of the Tang Dynasty were too good at fighting. Weapons should not even exist in this world.
The sky monkeys flew over from so far away and exploded.
As long as the wind direction and speed were good, the hot air balloon would fly over and drop the explosives.
"The only tactic to fight the Military forces of the Tang Dynasty is to charge." Zasykuzé drank the medicine again and felt nauseous.
The Qianhu listened and showed a helpless expression.
Charging was easy to say.
In reality, the one who charged first would be passive.
The Military forces of the Tang Dynasty stood in formation and waited.
If the formation was not messed up, they would still be blown up by the sky monkeys.
Before they could break the enemy's weapon, they would be at a disadvantage.
"Unfortunately, I did not get the recipe." The Qianhu wanted the explosives.
"The last hot air balloon was tricked. The Li Family Zhuangzi had tight defenses. Bozhu and Isinba could not find a chance."
Zasykuzé had no way to deal with this. If Tubo had the recipe, would he let others learn it?
It was said that the Li Family Zhuangzi was the village. As long as people knew the secret, they would be protected outside of Zhuangzi.
They could also leave Zhuangzi. If his Tubo had the gunpowder technology, he would let the slaves do it. They would not be able to leave for the rest of their lives.
"Let's rely on the river as a natural barrier." The Qianhu finally said that they were going to escape.
They would lead people to cross the river and settle down on the other side of the river. They would have their own people on the other side of the river.
When the Tang Dynasty's army wanted to cross the river, who cared if they were winged cavalry or not? Could they really fly all the way over? How many hot air balloons were there?
"Get ready." Zasykuzé knew that they could not fight anymore.
His own people had reported the situation as soon as they arrived. They did not have enough troops and good weapons. If they continued to fight, they would only lose more soldiers.
