Twenty ships stopped. There were indeed people from the Sixteenth Guard. There were several guards mixed together.
The goal was to make sure there were no barriers between the Sixteenth Guard.
"Thank you. My legs don't feel like mine anymore. You don't have to carry them. They're heavy. Just hold on to them. Okay."
"Here's your stuff. Haha. Go back and tell Li Dongzhu. He'll definitely give us something good."
"This job isn't for humans. Luckily, we're all animals. There's nothing wrong with it."
"Now, there's a team that departs every day. Tomorrow, or today, a little later, or tomorrow, there'll be more ships coming over."
"There aren't many Sky Monkeys left. It's mainly food. Everyone, eat as much as you want. The Sky Monkeys are made every day. They'll be shipped immediately."
"The entire Workers' Alliance is building ships. They're rushing day after day. Ships will be launched at any time."
"We came from a tributary. You've taken over the Yellow River. I won't know where to go next time. Anyway, I'll deliver them to you."
"Is this the climate of the plateau? Sure enough, it's harder to breathe than in Chang 'an. It's okay. We exercise a lot. "
"Thank you, Li Dongzhu."
"Thank you, Li Dongzhu."
"Thank you, Li Dongzhu."
The people from the Sixteenth Guard were talkative. They were mainly showing off to others.
"Come up. It's just a gift. What's there to brag about?" Qin Li couldn't stand it anymore.
"Who are you … You're right. We're just tired. We don't have any other intentions."
The people from the Sixteenth Guard were about to lose their temper when they realized it was the Winged Knights who spoke. They instantly became gentle.
The soldiers ignored the Sixteenth Guard and the Winged Knights and continued to move the things down.
They heard that from now on, there would be things delivered by water almost every day.
They understood. This meant that the logistics were connected, including the logistics of the Shu Lands.
"This isn't rice. It's cooked rice. It's all cooked rice. Set up the shed. Don't get wet when it rains."
"Flour? What's written on it? I don't know. Oh, whole-wheat flour? Why isn't it wheat? "
"I'm the leader, Niu Niu, not a nickname. The things I brought you are fireproof." The person in charge of the sixteen guards introduced himself.
Qin Li smiled. "It's indeed fireproof. It's all packed in cotton bags. Even if you pour oil on it, it won't work."
It wasn't dried rice or wheat. It was rice and flour. Set a fire and put down the fire outside. The inside would be smoked or have the aroma of roasted rice.
They didn't need to be stored for a long time, and at the same time, it proved that their logistics ability was outstanding.
Under normal circumstances, they would bring their shells with them, and then the soldiers would think of ways to grind them.
How difficult would it be for the logistics department to directly send semi-finished products and ignite the rice and flour?
Unless the flour flew up, was dense enough, and then exploded.
At this time, from the chaos on the other side of the river, another ship arrived. It was a ship with wheels.
Was it the supplies from the Tang Army? One, two, three … twenty ships. The food delivered would be enough for the Tang army to eat for two days?
"Commander, are you alright? The Tang Army has brought twenty new ships. What are they carrying? "The Qianhu found Zasykuzé, who was injured again.
A bag of explosives blew up a tent, and a small knife used for eating flew more than a hundred meters away. The handle of the knife hit Zasykuzé's brow bone.
Zasykuzé's brow bone had a small cut and a small bump. He was bleeding non-stop. It looked scary, but he was fine.
"Don't be afraid. Many people are on their ships. One ship can't carry much. How can a few ships feed more than a hundred thousand soldiers?"
Zasykuzé's condition did look good. He had taken medicine, so the small injuries and pain did not matter to him.
At this moment, his mind was clear. He was waiting, waiting for Princess Jincheng and Zan Pu to write a letter to the Tang dynasty. Then, both sides would be at peace, and he would be able to defend the Yellow River basin.
He was also waiting for time. The barley was about to be harvested. There was less barley here, but more would be planted later. By then, there would be enough food delivered.
The only pity was that his reaction was slow. He should have harvested the barley earlier. Even if people could not eat it, it would be good to feed the horses.
As he spoke, he looked up at the roof. He had returned to his tent.
He realized that he would always be injured if he hid outside, but the tent was never touched.
He sent someone to add a barrier to the tent, hoping to block the explosives. At least, he thought that it could.
He probably did not know how big the impact of a bag of explosives falling from thousands of meters above was.
He understood that he could not win by fighting. He could only solve it through diplomatic means.
At present, it was best for both sides to not move. The Tang army would cross the river and beat back the Tang army a few times to buy enough time.
Or they could pretend to attack a few times and ask the Tang army to increase their defense.
"Tell the other places to find a chance to rush over and take a look. If it is not possible, retreat immediately." Zasykuzé chose another place to send troops to cross the river.
He could not go to his position. It would be easy for the enemy to counterattack.
The messenger began to run. He had to run very far. There were 200,000 soldiers on both sides in the Yellow River. It was not a single point.
There were still some places that could not be reached tonight. The time was set to be after dark tomorrow. More than ten positions would be rushed to cross at the same time.
…
"In a few days, the highland barley will be harvested. Our people will have less to worry about."
In Guo Zhiyun's tent, he calculated the highland barley growing on the occupied land.
There were burn marks in some places. It seemed that someone wanted to burn all the highland barley when they left.
Unfortunately, only a small area was burned. Before the barley ripened, many stalks were still green. If they wanted to burn it, they would need a strong wind and many ignition points.
"The harvesting is not under our control. Continue to transfer people from Longyou. I heard that the capital government is planting soybeans to raise insects. Can the insects raised here be sent back? "
Wang Junkui wanted to have more income from insects. The insects raised would be sent to the capital government to be sold.
Qin Li shook his head. "No, it is too cold. The Heavenly Bean Moth cannot survive. The insects cannot survive either."
"What a pity." Wang Junkui felt regretful.
"We raise horses, cows, and sheep here. The yaks can be ridden and cultivated. The defense in the future will be the most difficult. How can Tubo be willing to lose a large piece of land?"
Zhang Zhongliang did not want to raise any insects. The local people were blessed by nature. They raised sheep and yaks.
They wanted to crossbreed more sheep and cultivate sheep with different wool. There were also sheep that grew fast and ate meat.
"Tomorrow morning, I will take people to the rafts for a spin. First, we will familiarize ourselves with the physical condition of the rafts."
Qin Li was not worried about what to do on the ground at all. Owner Li had already arranged everything. You could not just plant whatever you wanted and raise whatever you wanted.
The next day, the people on the 20 boats ate until they were 70% full. The empty boats started to return.
Going with the flow was fast, so there was no need to rush.
They walked on one side of the river. They could not let the people on the other side take them away.
Qin Li brought people onto the wooden rafts. They either stood or knelt on one leg. The wooden rafts were not treated and contained a lot of water. Most of them were in the water.
People's feet were wet when they stood on it. Under normal circumstances, no one would use wood as a raft. The more they soaked, the heavier they would get.
As soon as they moved, the people on the other side immediately became nervous. Were they going to fight?
In a panic, Qin Li and the others floated down and used the oars to reach the shore. They struggled to drag the rafts back. The rafts scraped the shore from time to time.
"How do we use this?" Qin Li frowned.
