The village gate was wide open. The excited Tang army either stood on the wall or stood on the building. Some people found a few big stones to tiptoe just to stand higher and make it easier to see the direction of the village gate.

It is said that the military discipline is strict, so this kind of behavior must be subject to military law.

However, today's situation is special, and the main force of the Xuan Armor Cavalry is ready to enter the battle formation at any time, so these bitter soldiers are indulging in the process.

Even if Xu Le made a big fuss when he killed his generals and captured prisoners, he was not so excited in the army.

After all, it is just killing a few people. No matter how high the person killed is or how important the person caught is, it will not play a decisive role in the battle itself, and it has no personal interest to the soldiers. Therefore, no matter how happy everyone is, it will not be so.

Today's events benefit the entire military camp, so it's no wonder everyone is happy.

But outside the village gate, the brigade's carriage spread like a long snake, and there was no end at all.

Located at the forefront are wheelbarrows, each of which is filled with grain pockets.

These pockets are placed like a hill, and the cart pusher bent down and pushed the cart, causing the food to block the face and it is impossible to see the appearance of the cart pusher.

Behind the team were a large number of cattle and sheep, and these livestock were driven forward with whips and screamed while walking.

For a time, the cattle and sheep were screaming incessantly, making the military camps, which made the soldiers who were used to hearing the shouts and killings of golden drums these days unable to express their feelings.

Finally, I could hear some fireworks sounds, which was a success.

Xu Le and Li Shimin were waiting outside the military camp. Behind them were Han Yue, Xiao Liu and other Xuanjia cavalry chief generals, as well as famous generals and ministers in the army such as Yuchi Gong, Hou Junji, Changsun Wuji, Qu Tutong.

For a time, all the elites in the Tang army were released, and the ceremonial guards were grand.

In other words, even if Li Yuan arrived in person, it would be like this.

However, no one present thought there was anything wrong. To put it bluntly, even if Li Yuan came now, it is hard to say whether he could enjoy such treatment.

Everyone is about to go hungry, so what are the emperors?

The food that can be eaten in your mouth is real! They are greeting not only with this huge baggage team, but also with the leader of this team: Chen Zhengqian.

This is a white-haired old man. Although he is energetic and upright, he can still see that he is already in his twilight years, and it is unknown how long he can support him.

The leader who originally thought that he could be elected by several forts must be a great man with great martial arts skills, but he didn't expect that he was such an old man.

However, it can be proved in turn that this old man must have outstanding features, otherwise the fort leaders would not be so relieved to hand over the life-saving food he had worked hard to save to the old man, and he was responsible for coordinating and dispatching it to the army.

You should know that delivering food at this time is a great contribution. As long as Li Shimin wins and rewards on merit, the contribution of delivering food may not be smaller than breaking the formation and killing the future.

Maybe you can get the seal of prefectures and counties, or join the army and become a general.

Being able to entrust such great wealth to Chen Zhengqian with peace of mind is enough to prove the influence and prestige of the old man.

Although the old man is old and has a decline in his qi and blood, he is excited when he sees such a large-scale reception and is extremely energetic.

After saluting everyone, tears were already shining in the old eyes, and the tone was full of sobs: "I thought I would have lost the hand of the captain this time, but I didn't want to see the dignity of the Han family. The sky has eyes, so that the disaster would not happen again and we will be alive."

The more Chen Zhengqian spoke, the more excited he became, and his tone became more excited, and his voice changed a little.

Changsun Wuji kept looking at the old man and suddenly asked, "I think the Lord is very kind-looking.

I dare ask, have you ever held an official position in Chang'an City?"

Chen Zhengqian looked at Changsun Wuji, then nodded and said, "The Lord has good eyesight. I have been unemployed for many years, so don't you want to have old friends and acquaintances?"

Since the sixth year of Kaihuang, I have been the regular attendant of the Sanqi Qi in the disciples.

The old master died and the new king ascended the throne. He could not listen to our advice and sacked the censors of the subordinate provinces. The old man returned to his hometown.

There is no need to say much about the past, don’t you think anyone can recognize it?

This is also a fate.”

As soon as the old man said this, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji finally understood why he had such a great face and could make everyone hand over the food with confidence.

Where did you get such great skills? You can calmly dispatch a large number of food, supplies and transport them to the army.

After all, it is actually two words: aristocratic family.

Although both generations of the Yang family and his son were suppressing the aristocratic family, the country was inaugurated and was about to be rebuilt. It was the time to employ people. Civil and military officials in various places needed to maintain their operations, and they would never leave people.

Although the level of people from poor families is of varying quality, their minds may not be much better.

More importantly, they cannot do many things without the support of the aristocratic family.

So even if you pinch your nose, you have to compromise with the aristocratic families first and use some of the children of aristocratic families and people recommended by the aristocratic families as officials.

For example, Wang Rengong, no matter how much Yang Guang likes him, he has to be in charge of Mayi, otherwise no one will use it.

Chen Zhengqian is actually a similar example.

The position of the censor of the Menxia Provincial Department is not that important, but it is indeed a constraint on the emperor, and it is very suitable to use it to accommodate people from aristocratic families.

He is definitely not a child of aristocratic family, but he is likely to be a talent that aristocratic family is optimistic about and cultivated.

So even after leaving the officialdom, he can continue to play a role among the people.

Without asking, we can tell that this person must be a person with high expectations nearby. If everyone recognizes his character and ability, they will naturally be willing to obey the command.

People from aristocratic families do not mean that they are incompetent. Chen Zhengqian serves aristocratic family does not mean that there must be problems with this person's ethics.

He is likely to be a noble and capable operator. There will be support for such a person wherever he goes. In addition, the aristocratic family makes efforts, so it is not surprising that he can have such appeal.

If these powerful men want to survive, they must ask for help from the aristocratic families.

They can survive until now, and the help behind the aristocratic family is indispensable. Chen Zhengqian has this relationship, so it is natural to be able to raise such a huge amount of materials.

The Turks have always left after robbing a vote and will not preserve the people's strength at all.

The high-pressure policy is adopted to fish in the dry pond. In order to make it easy, a place is often turned into scorched earth and white land every time it arrives, and Jiangzhou is no exception.

So now the food in the hands of the people is basically concentrated in the fortresses, and no food is collected in other places.

Although the Turkic military rations seemed to be quite large, they were actually stagnant water. If you eat one pound less, you will not get effective replenishment.

However, these forts and the families behind them can secretly get food from various channels, just like living water.

From this point of view, it seems that it is not bad to have a good relationship with them at the moment.

The 24,000 stones of corn that Chen Zhengqian sent this time was enough to make the entire army have a full meal for a while.

Moreover, Chen Zhengqian also volunteered to go to various places to continue to raise military rations for the frontline use.

As long as Li Shimin's army is here, even if the people of Hedong tighten their necks and do not eat or drink, they must ensure the food of the army.

There are solutions to food, grass and military supplies. As long as your army does not withdraw to Guanzhong, everything else can be solved! It can be seen that the actions of the Turks scared the locals.

The people who have not been through the battle for many years can't stand this kind of scene and don't care much about it in order to survive.

Maybe a lot of food may not be really willing to take out by the aristocratic families, but who cares about your life and death now?

It is true that you can exchange food for protection for yourself first, and we will talk about other things at that time.

Although Li Shimin didn't like the aristocratic family, he knew that it was not the time to have a quarrel with them, so he was very polite to Chen Zhengqian and arranged for someone to pick up the food and grass into the military camp. He and Xu Le and others invited Chen Zhengqian into the tent to sit in the hospital.

Of course, there was no decent hospitality in the army, but Chen Zhengqian didn't care. A bowl of hot soup was enough, and then he began to introduce the situation to Li Shimin.

"Since Liu Wuzhou led the Turks into Hedong, the people have no way to survive..." Chen Zhengqian shook his head and sighed constantly.

His words were half scolding the Turks and half scolding the Li family.

If Li Yuanji hadn't acted wrongly and Pei Ji and others were really unable to fight, how could Hedong look like this?

Li Shimin and others knew it well, but they didn't say much, so they could only hear the old man scolding him.

After all, he was a censor. Although Chen Zhengqian was old, his lyrics were still sharp. If Li Yuanji and others were present, they would probably be sweating and ashamed by the sarcasm of the gun and stick.

Xu Le waited until the old man cursed for a while before interrupting: "Wen Chen thought, what should he do now?"

His words were to stop the old man's momentum, otherwise he would not know when it would be.

Chen Zhengqian also realized that he had lost his composure, so he quickly took a sip of hot soup to buffer. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Although the Turkic soldiers are strong, they cannot penetrate Lu silk at the end of their strength.

Wherever it goes, it is scorched everywhere. Although it plunders a lot of money, it lacks grain storage.

It depends entirely on the previous grain storage, but how long can I get by if I eat the mountain?

According to my old man's opinion, he confronted him with deep ditches and high trenches. After a long time, the enemy's troops were exhausted and the food was destroyed without fighting."

Li Shimin asked: "What if the Turks were collecting grain?"

“Where do they go to collect food?

Now, where can the Turkic forces see farmers? Where does the food and grass come from?

The people formed camps to defend themselves, and the Turkic cavalry could do nothing.

If they attack the camp with large troops, it would not be worth the gain, but they would lose the opportunity.

Besides, with a large army outside, how dare the Turks attack the camp with large army? If it is not bad as expected, as long as they delay for a long time, they will retreat themselves."

Xu Le nodded: "What Mr. Chen said is very true.

If so, you can indeed defeat others without fighting.

But just leaving like this is too cheap! It’s also a pity for them! I’m sorry for the military rations given by the people!”

Chen Zhengqian looked at Xu Le, wondering what he was going to say.
Chapter completed!
