"A ship with 120 Sky Monkeys? And food? Medical supplies? "
Zhang Xiaosong quickly learned of the situation. He looked at the resting Winged Knights and calculated in his mind.
The Winged Knights had only gotten into the water after several ships had set off, but they had overtaken one ship after another and arrived before the others.
The speed of the ships was one factor, but the other was that they were physically fit.
After thinking for a while, he approached the resting Winged Knights. "Let's discuss something. Give me your things. I have a use for them."
"Give us a receipt. We want to report back." The leader of the Winged Knights agreed.
He could refuse. The Winged Knights were not under anyone other than the Emperor.
Zhang Xiaosong did not expect things to go so smoothly. "Aren't you going to ask me what I want them for?"
"What can you, Zhang Xiaosong, do? Of course, we'll go around the Yellow River and launch a sneak attack. Fifty thousand good horses and ten thousand elite cavalry. No one can stop us. "
The leader laughed. It was just a tactic. If he was in charge, he would also launch a sneak attack.
This was an unexpected army. They were supposed to send horses, but in the end, they sent ten thousand elite cavalry.
Neither side knew. The leader of the Winged Knights believed that if Tubo knew that Zhang Xiaosong had brought ten thousand elite cavalry, he would be so scared that he would not be able to eat or sleep well.
Zhang Xiaosong looked at him. "I heard that the Winged Knights are all good at tactics. It seems that it is true. If you give me the things, how are you going to explain it to Guo Zhiyun?"
"Who does the Winged Knights need to explain it to? Li Dongzhu ordered us to deliver the things to the frontline, but he did not specify a specific person.
Even if he specifies who to give it to, it is up to us. We can just go back and play with Li Dongzhu. "
The leader curled his lips.
The others trembled and looked at him with that expression. Are you crazy?
If you want to give it to him, then give it to him. Li Dongzhu will not say anything. Why are you talking so much?
We'll report it to Li Dongzhu ourselves when we get back. Otherwise, we'll let someone else spread the news. We'll accompany you to play with Li Dongzhu.
The clerk began to count the items and wrote a receipt. Zhang Xiaosong stamped it.
The Winged Knights returned to the boat and changed directions. Then, someone else stepped on the boat. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
"In the future, the inland river navy will use propeller boats. The inland river is ours." Zhang Xiaosong looked through his binoculars.
He found that the speed of the boat was faster than that of a person running. Going with the current was similar to running with a normal horse.
As for countercurrent, even though it was slower than humans, it could carry more cargo.
One person running while carrying a few dozen kilograms of weight would not be able to last for too long. Therefore, the boat changed people to pedal and maintained a high speed throughout.
He turned his head and looked at the three hot-air balloon soldiers. "You guys come with me. It just so happens that the Winged Knights have diesel."
The three of them looked at each other, and the leader nodded. "Got it. Send a few people back to inform me."
A group of cavalrymen went out to report. Zhang Xiaosong gave the order to change directions. He did not want to send the horses.
He wanted to fight and be a surprise troop.
The rockets were tied to the side of the horse. There was no wooden frame, but it did not matter. The rockets could be fired from the horse's back.
… …
"When will the weather cool down? It's stuffy and stuffy. It's drizzling in the morning. It's better if there's no rain. With water, it's like a steamer. "
Bi Goo looked at the clock on the wall. It was ten o 'clock in the morning.
The pendulum was moving. Click, click, click.
In his office, the person who was pedaling the fan raised his hand and wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief. He lowered his head and did not make a sound. He continued to pedal at the same frequency.
Bi Goo was old. In the past, he did not have good conditions. He could only put an ice basin in his office.
When someone else fanned the fan, the wind would blow again and again, delaying his work.
Fortunately, there was a human-powered fan. In front of the fan, there was an ice basin. It faced the wall and cooled the whole room.
The person who was pedaling the fan was more tired. It was the eunuch.
The eunuch was actually very willing to pedal the fan in the office. Otherwise, when he was outside, a young eunuch like him would be ordered to run around.
One moment he was outside, the next he was carrying things. Not only would he sweat, but he would also be punished for doing something wrong.
Bi Goo asked him to work. They agreed that he would change every half an hour, but the eunuch insisted on pedaling the fan all the time.
It was like riding a bicycle. There was iced sour plum soup to drink. When he wanted to go to the toilet, he could just say it.
Bi Goo always took things from Li Yi and gave them to the eunuch.
The eunuch had a family who lived in the south of the city. It was far away.
In the past, he did not have a good life. He had a brother who was five years older than him and twin sisters who were three years older than him.
When he was young, he played by himself and accidentally encountered a landslide. Rocks fell down and his penis was damaged. He found someone to treat it. He had a fever for a few days and survived.
His family took out all the money they had saved and found a way for him to enter the palace.
People in the east of Jiangnan, which was the mountainous area of Fujian.
Last year, he wrote a letter back to ask his family to go to Chang 'an. He had saved some money.
Originally, his two sisters wanted to give it to a random family in exchange for some money for his brother to marry a wife.
There was a family in the neighboring village who had two horses. His son was so … but he was not very intelligent.
If one of them married, his brother would have the money to marry a wife.
His letter was delivered at the critical moment. That letter 'left' for a few months.
The family sold their house and a few mu of land and rushed to Chang 'an. It was a good time to be allocated a house. They did not have to pay rent for the first month.
He spent all the money he had saved and bought the house. It was a two-story house with a courtyard.
The family of five had jobs. He put all his attention on his brother. His sister was not in a hurry.
He hoped that his brother would marry his sister-in-law and have a few more boys for him.
Yesterday, Bi Goo gave him a small jar of chili sauce. He sold it and saved the money.
It was a lot of money. If it was in the old place, it would be enough for his brother to marry a wife.
However, everything in the capital was expensive. A wife was also expensive. He still had to save.
How could he let go of such a good opportunity?
"Xiaofu, it's almost noon. Go and eat. There are jars in the hall outside. One of them can hold five catties of sesame oil. Take it with you when you leave."
After Bi Goo complained about the weather, he saw that the little eunuch was tired. He could not bear it and gave him five catties of sesame oil.
He knew the situation of the little eunuch's family. It was not easy for the common people to live.
"Thank you, Prime Minister Fu." Xiaofu was very grateful. He could sell the sesame oil to save money.
He did not dare to sell it to his family. What if he was bullied?
He was a little eunuch in the palace. But when he went out, his status was different.
"Don't you think Xiao Yi is difficult to understand?" Bi Goo was bored and talked to the little eunuch.
"Li Dongzhu is a good person." The little eunuch replied. What else could he say? The instant noodles that he asked someone to send to the Chengnan family were given by Li Yi.
He was reluctant to eat it and took it back to his parents.
"Sometimes he is very bad. You don't know! He calculates people. "Bi Goo mumbled.
The little eunuch pretended not to hear. Anyway, he did not scheme against him. He was not worth being schemed against.
"Today, he said that he would give this old man an extra income of thirty million. Now I am short by two-thirds." Bi Goo said.
"I think he can give it. I heard that the place where the surrendered families are settled has a good harvest. Li Dongzhu has saved countless people." The little eunuch looked up and spoke up for Li Yi.
"You have all been bribed by him." Bi Goo was puzzled. Why did no one say anything bad about Li Yi? Didn't he just give you some things?
The little eunuch quickly lowered his head and did not say anything.
