H.0 $ͨ q / n e6 n yc7 n ɷ%hH # 3bX' The spring breeze has not yet blown in the Western Regions, and last winter, the rice, flour, grain and oil hoarded in Dunhuang not only had the military needs of the official warehouse, but also the civilian warehouse of a large number of merchants.

The situation here is very different from the rest of the Western Regions, and Dunhuang is the only place where the scale and number of private warehouses far exceed those of official warehouses.

Subsequently, along the south of Tulun moraine to the west, there were successively the strongholds of major merchants, and it was Guo Xiaoke who presided over the inspection work.

"General, and the three cities of Jimo, Khotan, and Qiannan have not put grain."

Is there any food? Some.

However, Cheng Chubi strictly ordered the lieutenants and all grain officers under his command that not a single grain was allowed to flow out in winter. According to the estimation of the military documents, there is no problem in supporting the grain in Tulun moraine until spring, but the grain is almost consumed.

Last year, the last wave of madness in Turkic Tutun, coupled with several battles, basically exhausted the last bit of potential of the people. At this time, there is a delicate balance between whether the remnants of the countries south of Tulum moraine "rise up" or "flee for refuge".

As long as they work harder, these people will definitely have no way to live, and they will either rebel or flee for their lives.

But Cheng Chubi did not continue to squeeze, and these people were in a complex state of mind that was panicked but lucky.

"Oh?"

Guo Xiaoke took off the mask on his face, sighed, the white fog was rolling, the snow-capped mountains not far away could still see the cyan mountains, and the rest, from far to near, was a vast white, making people unable to distinguish the direction.

"It seems that our Cheng Sima is going to squeeze these people dry."

Just after thinking about it a little, Guo Xiaoke understood the number of Cheng Chubi's roads, as a "veteran" on the battlefield, Guo Xiaoke can be said to be well-informed.

"General? Why? Didn't Cheng Sima even launch the 'forced conscription'? From last year to now, two stockades have been built in the south and northwest of the moraine. ”

"Huh."

Guo Xiaoke smiled and patted the war horse with a loud nose, "Zhu Jubo, Yu Khotan and other remnants should be able to empty up all their families in one winter." Since Cheng Chubi didn't put grain, then, for the sake of food, for the sake of life, he could do anything. There is nothing that I dare not want to do. ”

"What does the general mean...... Cheng Sima wants to let these remnants be pawns? ”

"Not bad."

Nodding, Guo Xiaoke looked at the west, the horsewhip in his hand rolled into a circle, and pointed from afar, "Shule is a big country in the Western Regions, but it is humble and Turkic. Now all the south of Tulun moraine have fallen into the hands of our army. As long as Shule is laid, the Tulun moraine will be connected to the north and south, but it is just around the corner. ”

This is the strategic goal of the Zhenguan Dynasty, but also the political goal, to restore the old land of the Han Dynasty, in order to make the "Zhenguan" more deserved.

"The land of Shule is indeed fertile." The accompanying lieutenant also sighed, "I listened to the people of China Resources and Xiqin Society in Dunhuang, and if the boundary is properly controlled, it will not be a problem to feed hundreds of thousands of Dingkou." Originally, I didn't believe it, but around this Shule, there were no 200,000 Dingkou. However, since Cheng Sima dares to fight again, he must be sure of success. ”

A secret that cannot be said here in Dunhuang is that the real benefit of the military leaders fighting is not the rice, flour, grain and oil of the imperial court and the subsidy, or the military salary unique to the Western Army.

Rather, it is a huge industry after passing through a piece of land, land, fields, houses, livestock, children, rivers, ores, and even bat droppings in a cave...... can be converted into Kaiyuan Tongbao or China Resources Silver Dollar.

In the past few years, only the Tang people were carnivaling, but in the past two years, even the Persian Hu merchants, as long as they can communicate with the Tang army, can bring a large amount of gold coins from the Flynn Kingdom to "redeem" and "guanpu".

Moreover, the end army itself is not in business, but the sale of their "spoils" to "friendly merchants" is not a big problem at all. As for the "friendly businessmen" who were very moved, they came to the "labor army", and they were chasing the wind at every turn.

Unlike the Liaodong garrison, which needed to bring its own horses and even bows and arrows, the merchant travelers pooled money to "labor the army", and then accidentally armed the garrison of Zhucheng in the south to the teeth, which was a model of "military and civilian fish and water conditions", and others could not learn it.

The army is in business? Inexistent.

"If you want to say that the fields are fertile, Tianzhu is better. It's just that it's hard to manage, it's a success, and I'm afraid it's a big tail. ”

Guo Xiaoke said that, feeling that this matter was also boring, he said, "Most of the Western Regions will have a heavy snowfall in the spring, if you want to accumulate military merits, it is best to discuss with An Bo in the end of the city earlier." If something is not bad, Cheng Chubi will do it, and it should be fast. ”

"Could it be that the old law is going to be restarted again?"

"Since the Turks are not good at snow warfare, and our army has logistical advantages, it is natural to attack the weaknesses of the other with our strengths. The so-called 'one trick fresh' in Chang'an Liquor Store is also the same reason. ”

"Speaking of the Central Plains cotton cloth, Hetao felt, and Jingchu canned food, it is really a sharp weapon."

"Our army has this supply, and it will still freeze to death, and if the Turks are not descendants, I am afraid that they will suffer heavy casualties." Guo Xiaoke looked at the sky, "The princes and ministers of Khotan have all entered Chang'an, if you can follow Cheng Chubi and let the monarchs and ministers of Shule also go to Chang'an, the prince is in sight." ”

"Yes!"

As soon as the words fell, the originally good weather suddenly became cold, and the clouds floating between the snow-capped mountains gradually covered the sky.

Crunch crunch ......

In the southern part of the city, the smell of burning whale oil permeated the square hall.

A group of strong men were grabbing the lamb chops on the dinner plate with oily hands, the meat was fragrant, but some people even chewed the bones.

The first seat in the middle, Cheng Chubi lowered his head and gobbled up, also tearing the flesh and bones frantically there. And in front of the desk, there were two bearded people in somewhat tattered clothes.

It is said that it is a Hu person, but you can still vaguely see the appearance of the Han people, but the eye sockets are deeper.

Syllable.

A fleshy bone was thrown out, and it just fell in front of the two bearded people.

"Yours."

Bang!

One of them instantly knocked over the other person, and then picked up the meat and bones and gnawed wildly, the strong mutton on it, the tangy aroma, made his mouth full of meat at the same time, and he was moved to tears.

Cheng Chubi laughed, then stood up, and looked at them with a smile as he walked: "So, you want to die for Datang?" ”

"Yes! Be! Back to the words of adults! Be! Be! We ......"

"Good!"

Cheng Chubi, whose eyes were wide open, laughed fiercely, "Okay! ”

"There are not many faithful people like you."

Cheng Chubi looked emotional, and then stepped on the Hu man who was knocked to the ground by his companion just now, making the Hu man dare and could not move.

"It's just that even if I believe in your loyalty and sincerity, but a certain soldier may not believe it......"

With his hands stretched out, all directions, all of them were Tang Jun who was immersed in eating meat and drinking, although these people heard Cheng Chubi's words, they still concentrated on eating and drinking, and never paid attention to Cheng Chubi and the two Hu people.

"Also、Please make it clear to your ......"

"Explicitly." Cheng Chubi muttered these two words, and then was silent for a while, as if he remembered something, he actually showed a meaningful smile, "I remembered a story from the past, if you follow suit, I will agree." ”

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! ”

Biting the meat in his mouth, the Hu man quickly knelt down and kowtowed, with indescribable joy.

A few days later, outside the mansion of Cheng Nanzhou, a group of Hu people with ragged clothes and vegetables were actually outside Cheng's mansion, taking off their clothes and standing in the snow like a horse stake, letting the snowflakes in the sky continue to fall, melt, and freeze......

"Chengmen Lixue?!"

In Dunhuang City, when they suddenly heard about such a thing, those veterans were naturally applauded and envious, and the scribes who heard about it were furious.

"A soldier can be killed, but not humiliated! Cheng Sima's move is an insult to the majesty of China! ”

"Taxi?! You're kind of fucking saying it again! ”

"Presumptuous!"

The quarrel in Dunhuang is nothing, but after the matter reached Chang'an, people who knew the story of "Cheng Li Snow Gate" said that Cheng Sima was young and fashionable and could stand outside Zhang Jianghan's Snow Gate, which was a beautiful talk. Now that the newly attached people are motivated by the desire to follow the story, what does it matter?

"It's really 'Chengmen Lixue'."

Lao Zhang, who was far away in Wuhan, was stunned at that time.

What will you do with future generations? Can you still play the game properly? A beautiful allusion is a bit too much to be ruined.

Of course, what Lao Zhang never expected was that things not only ruined the idiom, but also ruined the lives of many people.

The new attached "Lixue" militia group was formed, and the fucking was formed.
