Chapter 16 Hatan

With the skilled craftsman working overtime, wind wheelbarrows are built into shape.

Li Yuanai was determined to try the effect of the wind wheelbarrow, and asked someone to find a military horse, then set up a piece of silk cloth, and casually loaded 800 kilograms of goods into the car, so that someone could push them.

The wind in the north is strong, and the silk cloth sails are blown into an arch.

The craftsman took the wheelbarrow with some difficulty, and as the army and horses moved forward, the horses, people and wind worked together, and with the mechanical power of the wheelbarrow, the craftsman became more and more relaxed.

Military horses are not good at carrying weights, but when faced with the kinetic energy of wind-powered unicycles, pulling a thousand kilograms of goods is easier than knights carrying human armor with a total of two hundred kilograms.

Military horses are feasible, but there is no reason why Wuzhumuqin horses are not suitable.

Wei Lin is an old carpenter in Jicheng. He has a son-in-law of a cloth merchant. Seeing that Li Yuanai has been with them in recent days, he was not very arrogant in his conversation. Instead, he would patiently listen to their opinions and plucked up the courage: "Shang, Your Highness, Shang King, this wind wheelbarrow needs good silk cloth. The youngest son-in-law is a cloth merchant. You, look..."

Li Yuanai looked at the restrained carpenter in front of him and smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, it's a problem for you. However, the materials of the sails have been prepared by the court, so there is no trouble."

This is what Cao Cao has arrived.

Trucks of soft leather were transported to the camp, and Li Yuanai also secretly admired the Tang Dynasty's national machine.

The supplies he needed were not what he needed, but he could almost be satisfied with the operation of Li Zhi, Liu Wei, Ma Zhou and even Fang Xuanling in Chang'an City.

"Look, you arranged some people to cut all the soft leathers for sails."

Wei Lin was dumbfounded, "This..." he couldn't even say anything.

He wanted to say that this was too extravagant.

The commonly used materials in this era were four types: cloth, silk, leather and felt.

Among them, leather and felt are the most expensive. Leather is made of animal skin and requires a lot of craftsmanship, especially this kind of soft leather.

Generally, only tents and leather boots can be used, which require fire and rainproof equipment.

Isn't it too extravagant to use soft leather as sails?

Li Yuanai didn't need to explain so much to Wei Lin, so he specially transferred soft leather to be of course his intention.

Now everything is ready, but the east wind is missing.

Xue Yantuo.

Li Zhi's instructions to collect two thousand Wuzhumuqin horses were passed to the depths of the grassland.

When Bazhuo heard this, he was furious and rushed into his father's tent and shouted: "Father Khan, the Tang people bullied us too much. We have been paying tributes for years, including horses, cows, sheep, camels, martens, and wolfskins. But what about them? They are biased towards Ashinasmo, and do not respect and trust us at all, and are obviously using Turks to guard us. Now they want two thousand Wuzhumuqin horses as soon as they open their mouths. Why, he will give us if he wants us? I am not convinced and cannot give it."

Xueyantuo Khan Yi Nan looked at his legitimate son with some disappointment and said angrily: "Bazhuo, brute force cannot bring power to the tribe, it will only bring destruction."

Yi Nan was also deeply influenced by Han culture and loved his legitimate son very much, and he was determined to train him into the next Khan.

However, Bazhuo's character is violent, brave but unscheming, and he kept persuading him repeatedly, which made him heartbroken.

Bazhuo also looked at his father with disappointment and said, "Father Khan, our Xueyantuo is an eagle on the grassland and a wolve on the grassland. What we want is freedom, not a dog raised by the Li family. We should rob them like Maodun and Jie Li, instead of paying tribute to them."

"Get out!" Yi Nan was so angry that he almost fainted. He grabbed the wine pot in front of him and threw it on Bazhuo's head.

Do you really think you want to be a dog?

In the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, Yi Nan thought that he was now a Khan with 200,000 cavalry, and there was no need to be timid towards Tang Ting.

Tang Ting should give himself a certain respect.

Just as Li Shimin sent a survey of Asunasmo to lead Jie Li's old subordinates, more than 100,000 people, 40,000 elite soldiers, 90,000 horses across the Yellow River, and built Yating in the old Dingxiang City, which seemed to use the Turks to restrain themselves.

The Yi Nan was determined to annex Ashinasmo and ordered his son Dadu to establish a commander of Xueyantuo's main tribe and the 200,000 troops of the Tongluo, Pugu, Uighur, Bai Lei and other tribes to cross the south of the Mo.

As a result, Li Ji directly defeated the more with 60,000 soldiers, which taught them a truth.

The Tang Dynasty could support them to become kings of the North and to defeat them to hell with one kick.

In that battle, 50,000 tribes were captured alive by the Tang army, and all the food, grass and supplies were captured by the Tang army, which directly led to their tribes not being able to survive that winter.

The Khan, who originally had 200,000 cavalry, had his strength reduced by half and his prestige was also severely hit.

At that moment, Yi Nan completely understood that it was good to be an obedient dog.

The Yi Nan was weakly spread on the throne, knowing that he had not had much time. If he passed the Khan position to Bazhuo, Xue Yantuo would really no longer exist.

"He asked Yemang to come to the rescue and let him personally send two thousand Wuzhumuqin horses to Jicheng."

Yimang Tulihu was his eldest son. He received the baptism of Chinese culture since childhood. He admired China very much and even invited himself to Chang'an as an official many times.

With the delivery of two thousand Wuzhumuqin horses, Li Yuanai's previous preparation plan was almost completed.

Now wait for the food to be transported from Jiangnan River to Jicheng.

On that day, Li Yuanai called Linshuo Palace for Li Zhi early in the morning.

When he arrived, Li Zhizheng and Yimang Tuli had a great conversation.

When Li Zhi saw Li Yuanai coming, he said, "Uncle Sixteen, let me introduce you to you. This is the eldest son of the Yinan Yiman of Xueyantu Khan, Yimang Tuli. He has been admiring my Tang Dynasty for a long time and is willing to serve our dynasty. You go east to transport grain this time and bring him along, so that he can serve our dynasty."

Li Yuanai had never heard Li Zhi call him "Uncle Sixteen" so directly, and immediately understood that this little guy was calculating about something.

Before he could say hello to him, Yimang Tulishi had already introduced himself first and said, "Xue Yantuoyi Tulishi has seen His Highness the King of Shang. You can call me Xue Yimang. This is the name I gave myself. Yimang wished he could be born in the Tang court. I hope the King of Shang will give him the next opportunity to see the saint."

Xue Yimang?

Li Yuanai looked at the man of three or five thick grassland in front of him, respectfully used the Chinese gift, bowed in front of him, squinted his eyes slightly, and silently recited in his heart: Could it be that this is the legendary Harbin Tang member?

Unlike the later generations of Ha, Japan, Ha, South Korea, Ha, Ha, and Ha, the United States, in this era, except for Li Chengqian, who is a brainless person, almost everyone is in Ha, Tang.

Seeing Li Zhi winked at him, Li Yuanai said happily: "The young clan leader has this intention, so there is no reason to respond. This time he goes east, it will be early November. At that time, the young clan leader will set off with me."

Xue Yimang was overjoyed and said, "Your Highness of the Shang King can just call Yimang. What is the young leader? Xue Yantuo's future Khan is my brother Bazhuo."
