The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

It was just a joke between the two of them on the road, but it also added a lot of fun to the journey along the way.

The group left Chang'an and headed straight to the border front.

The marching speed on the road was not slow. It only took more than ten days to cover more than half of the distance.

It's just that God doesn't follow people's wishes.

"General, the snow ahead has not yet melted and stretches for hundreds of miles. The weight of food and grass may not be able to pass through here." The scout responsible for exploring the road ahead reported this day.

It is said that the main road to the border front is covered with heavy snow.

The food and baggage was so heavy that it was impossible to pass smoothly.

"I know." Zhao Chenyu waved for him to go out.

In the camp, Cheng Chumo looked at Zhao Chen without waiting for anyone.

The food and fodder are so heavy that if they cannot pass through, it will be a very serious matter for the army.

Without food and grass, it would be difficult for both humans and horses to move.

Even if they leave behind the food and grass they carry now.

If you go to surrounding states and counties to raise funds, you still need to go through here.

But under the heavy snow, the horses could not pull the food and grass at all.

"Zhao Da, what should we do now?"

"Should we report the situation here to Chang'an?" Cheng Chumo and Zhao Chen asked.

Reporting these things is of no use at all.

Is it possible that the officials in Chang'an can clear the snow here?

"The front is covered with heavy snow, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to meet up with the border troops in a short time."

"But the current situation still puts safety first. Otherwise, we should wait until the snow here melts before leaving!" Li Ke also said.

It seems that the current situation is that they can only wait here for the snow to melt.

But no one knows how long it will take.

The rest of the people in the camp did not speak, but their faces also had a look of deep worry.

Although this time it is said that troops will be stationed at the border to guard against Yeon Gaesumun's attack.

But everyone knows that the matter is not that simple.

army commander

If time cannot move, it is easy to give birth to other things.

And there are also time limits for their march.

If there is no movement, it is easy for disputes to arise.

"General, why don't we send people to open the way ahead? No matter what, we can't waste time here." A general said with Zhao Chen cupping his hands.

"No need." Zhao Chen shook his head.

The scout said that the heavy snow stretches for hundreds of miles, and people have to open the road. How long will it take to open the road?

It is estimated that the snow will melt when they clear the road.

"But general, how can we move forward if we don't open a way?"

"The army has been blocking here, and we can't explain it to the court." Another general spoke, looking anxious.

"Don't worry so much, I have a solution here."

"General, do you have any idea?"

"What can the general do?"

Hearing Zhao Chen say that he had a solution, all the generals in the camp's eyes lit up.

Cheng Chumo and Li Ke also stared at Zhao Chen closely.

Zhao Chen said there is a way, then there must be a way.

In fact, they haven't thought of it yet.

"You go and select a few pieces of wood, then nail them into a tic-tac-toe, hang the wood on the horse's body with a rope, and then place all the grain and grass supplies on the wood." Zhao Chen said to everyone.

"Is this useful?" a general asked.

After all, I have never seen or heard anything like this.

"You will know after you try it." Zhao Chen did not explain too much to everyone.

Only when they experience these things themselves can they understand their usefulness.

Although they felt strange in their hearts, everyone still left the camp.

Cheng Chumodu et al.

I found some pieces of wood and nailed them into a tic-tac-toe shape as Zhao Chen said just now.

Then the wood was hung on the horse's body.

Then he tied all the food, grass and baggage that were originally on the war horse to the wooden frame.

"Zhao Da, what should we do now?" Cheng Chumo ran to Zhao Chen and asked softly.

"Just drive the horse forward." Zhao Chen and Cheng Chumo said.

"Is it that simple?" Cheng Chumo looked disbelieving.

"It's that simple!" Zhao Chen nodded with a smile.

Although he found it strange, Cheng Chumo still took the horse by himself and drove it into the snow.

"Is this really okay?"

"There are so many things on this wooden shelf, why don't they all sink in?"

"Isn't that right? How can the horse drag it after it's trapped?"

"General, this method seems a bit unreliable!"

A group of generals were talking quietly on the sidelines, and when they saw Cheng Chumo driving his horse into the snow, there was doubt on their faces.

But things were not as they imagined.

Even though he placed a lot of food and luggage, he did not sink into the snow.

The war horses were dragging the baggage forward in the snow.

I didn't see any signs of difficulty.

"this……"

"Is it really okay?"

"What the hell is this and how can it be so powerful?"

"This thing is called a sled. The wooden board is wide and the stress area is large, so the pressure will be reduced. If you put this thing on it, it will not completely sink into the snow."

"So the war horse can move forward easily while dragging these things." Zhao Chen explained to everyone at the side.

"sled?"

"Stress area?"

"pressure?"

No one has heard of any of these things.

Although I don’t know what Zhao Chen is talking about, but

Everyone thought it was awesome.

After all, right before their eyes, the grain and grass that would have sunk into the snow were easily pulled away by the horses.

This also solved the difficulty in front of them.

"The general is indeed a genius. We have never seen such a method before!" A general showed admiration.

The rest of the people also looked at Zhao Chen with admiration.

"Let everyone follow this method and put all the food, grass and baggage on the wooden boards. Let's rest here for one night today and continue our journey tomorrow morning." Zhao Chen said to everyone.

"Yes, General." Everyone responded in unison.

Now that the difficult matter has been solved, everyone's morale is naturally high.

Then the generals led the soldiers and began to frantically build simple sleds.

Early the next morning, all the necessary sleds were ready.

Everyone once again embarked on the journey to the border front.

…

"sled!"

"Boy Chen's guy is really resourceful. He solved the snowy predicament with just a few planks of wood."

A few days later, the emperor in Chang'an received a report from the front.

I saw in the report that Zhao Chen used a sled to keep the army moving forward.

The emperor was also extremely shocked.

At the same time, he is more confident that Zhao Chen will lead the army to the border front.

"His Royal Highness the King of Han is really a great talent. If we encounter this situation, we will probably have to wait until the snow melts." Fang Xuanling said with the emperor cupping their hands, with a look on his face.

Fang Xuanling thought that if she had encountered such a thing, she would definitely be helpless.

But in Zhao Chen's eyes, such a difficulty seemed to be nothing more than a trivial matter.

Not even a day was lost.

The army can then set off again.

Thinking of this, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but sigh.

Zhao Chen was really lucky to Datang.
