Since I was a colleague, I naturally became a good friend soon.
Chai Shao also pulled Li Jing over.
Li Jing thought about it, visited Li Shou several times, and pulled Li Shou over.
Everyone is subordinate to the prince of Longxi. There is no difference between being in his forties and being in his twenties. They can both become friends.
Li Shimin originally muttered to Li Xuanba, worried that his benign cousin would be isolated. Unexpectedly, Li Jing was so good at being a human being, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Xuanba glanced at his second brother; [Although his uncle led the army first, he never carried out the formation. Shandong was not decided, and the commission was commissioned to fight for the special expedition. Jiande invaded the south and the entire army was conquered. When Liu Heita was moved, his uncle broke through the wind. 】
Li Shimin: “Ah? What did you say?”
Li Xuanba: [What did you say to Li Shentong after becoming emperor. I don’t believe you will worry about him, you just want to laugh at him. 】
Li Shimin: “…”
Li Shimin laughed loudly: “Hahahahahahaha, my mouth is really damaged!”
Li Xuanba sighed: “You can not hurt like this. You are not afraid of offending him, but others still need to worry about his identity as a royal family.”
Li Shimin held his arm and said, “I am the emperor. No matter how unhappy he is, can he still make a false accusation in front of me?”
Li Xuanba: “…It makes sense.”
Li Shimin raised his head. It is rare to say A Xuan in a speechless manner and be proud!
After throwing Chai Shao and Li Xiaogong to Chengdu, when the twelfth lunar month came, Li Shimin once again set out on the battlefield, went out of Shu along the Yangtze River, headed to Ba County, and then headed south along the Yangtze River.
In the past few months in Shu County, Li Shimin received enough warships. Although these warships only serve as transporting food and troop, it is impossible to fight water battles directly on the river surface, leaving Shu is enough.
Although the Yangtze River trade route in the Sui Dynasty was already very prosperous, and ships from Jiangnan docked in Chengdu every few days, Li Xuanba was still a little worried that the water in the Three Gorges River would be too turbulent.
His brother has never fought a water war. Will he be seasick?
Then Li Xuanba saw his brother standing at the bow of the boat, spreading his arms and shouting “Ah”, and led a group of generals to spread his arms and shouting “Ah”, even Li Jing and Li Shou were taken stupid.
He turned his head silently back to the cabin and fled quickly.
Chapter 179 You say this is called investigation
When Li Shimin and Li Xuanba led their troops through Bajun, they did not go ashore to go shopping in Bajun. They only chatted with the Bajun Prefect who was waiting at the Yangtze River Wharf when they docked at night.
They claimed to have brought 50,000 people, but in fact there were only more than 30,000 people, half of which were recruits and civilians. Only 5,000 old strokes were followed from Longxi, and the rest had just followed Li Shimin to become old soldiers.
The other elite soldiers brought by Li Shimin from Longxi remained in Guanzhong and Bashu.
If Xue Ju had not returned to Daxing, Fang Qiao and others would have sent more than 10,000 people over, and Li Shimin had no idea how to divide the elite soldiers in Longxi.
The territory is too large, and the two brothers Li Shimin and Li Xuanba are so anxious that they laugh at each other for how much hair they lose every day.
But even more than 30,000 people, plus the food and grass eaten by war horses and livestock, it takes 100,000 stones to fill their stomachs every month.
Now one stone is about fifty-four kilograms in later generations, and one hundred thousand stones is 5,400 tons.
This is just “filling your stomach”, not mentioning eating enough.
The thing that fights war is logistics. If you look at this consumption, you will know that the 30,000 army dare not change its route easily.
Their ships seemed to have a lot of food, but in fact they were not enough to eat even a month. When they first got ashore, there was probably not much food left. They had to conquer the city and use the grain from the local granary to replenish military rations.
I stayed in Ba County for one more day, just light a fire on the food and grass, and they couldn’t afford to burn it.
The prefect of Ba County saw that the two young princes were about to leave in a hurry and refused any banquet, unless he could provide 30,000 people with food and supplies, so he could only smile bitterly and bow to see Li Shimin and Li Xuanba leave.
Although Bashu often say that it is connected together, the environment gap between Ba County and Shu County is very large.
