The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"Cotton-padded clothes?" Li Ji was puzzled.

"Can mother use the cotton quilts that were sent before?" Li Fu looked at his mother-in-law.

"I used it as soon as the weather got cold. You know what, it's really good." Lady Yingguo said.

"Oh, the new quilts you changed earlier have cotton inside, and the cotton-padded clothes..." Li Ji's eyes lit up.

This is a good thing! ! !

Li Ji's heart began to get a little excited.

"Well, the remaining cotton was made into cotton-padded clothes." Li Fu said, "Don't I have more than a thousand people in my village? I originally wanted to use them for them."

Li Fu made an excuse casually.

In fact, he knew that Li Shimin was going to fight the Turks this winter.

And what is the weather like on the grassland now?

If you want to rush to catch the dancing king, you must attack with cavalry and travel light.

If there are cotton-padded clothes, wearing them inside the armor for warmth must be better than the clothes that the soldiers wear inside now.

So Li Fu made all the remaining cotton into thick cotton coats, and even followed Su Dingfang's advice and made some improvements on the arms.

This prevented the cotton coats from making it difficult to move after wearing them, and getting in the way when riding on horseback and wielding long swords.

In fact, these more than a thousand sets of cotton coats are not very useful for the people in the village, but if they are given to my father-in-law and equipped to the cavalry under his command, they will be more convenient on the cold grassland.

"It doesn't matter whether these thousand people in the village are used or not. If my father goes out to fight this time, he will bring these cotton coats to the cavalry under his command. When we march straight in and travel light, they will definitely be useful." Li Fu said, "Let the soldiers feel even a little more comfortable, which can play a big role in the battle at the critical moment."

Li Ji listened to Li Fu's words and nodded repeatedly.

"In addition, I will also take a small portion of the strong liquor on the farm with you. This stuff is very useful."

Not only can it disinfect wounds, but it will also make you feel warmer when it is cold.

"Okay." Li Ji was not polite.

As long as it is useful for fighting, try to bring it.

The army of 100,000 people is not all cavalry, and there are still a lot of supplies that can be carried.

Although it is not necessary to bring much stuff from Chang'an City, there will be supplies along the way when you reach the front line.

"There is one thing that I am embarrassed to mention to Minister Li, but I will send a message to Minister Li through His Majesty later." Li Fu said: "After winning the battle on the grassland, I hope that all the spoils can be transported back to the Tang Dynasty and not wasted."

"Cattle and sheep..." Li Ji looked at Li Fu and asked tentatively.

"All of them." Li Fu said, "It's best to bring them back alive. Even if they died of freezing in the disaster, we still need them. It's so cold that the meat is frozen and won't go bad. Just bring them all back."

Li Ji nodded.

"Okay, I'll try my best to collect them with the troops I lead." Li Ji agreed.

I've heard about my son-in-law before. When he went out to fight with Yuchi Gong, he didn't let go of a piece of cloth in the camp...

Fortunately, it wasn't my son-in-law who led the troops to fight in the grassland, otherwise the grass would be shoveled back...

After leaving the Duke of Ying's mansion, Li Fu took his men back to the farm. He wanted to personally deliver the supplies on the farm to the Duke of Ying's mansion. When Li Ji led his troops to the battle, he could just take them with him.

One thousand sets of cotton clothes, it's not too much.

Three days later, outside Chang'an City.

Li Shimin raised the golden cup to see everyone off.

"Law in Huangzhong, great victory."

.......

Li Fu was also present, and together with Li Shimin, he saw off the commanders.

After the meeting, everyone led their own troops and set off to the north.

Ganlu Palace.

"The food and grass have gone ahead and have gone three hundred miles." Li Shimin said: "I heard that before leaving, you also gave your father-in-law a batch of supplies."

"It's nothing. The weather on the grassland is cold, so I just brought him some extra cotton clothes." Li Fu smiled and said: "It's just cotton-padded clothes."

"Some?" Li Shimin looked at Li Fu with a smile on his face.

"Not much, just one thousand sets, originally for those people in the farm. Now we have to fight on the grassland, so I will do my part."

"You think that the countermeasures discussed earlier can be used." Li Shimin smiled.

"Whether it can be used or not, just prepare it first. If it can be used, it will be great and save the soldiers from suffering." Li Fu said, "It's freezing cold. If we encounter the enemy, we can grab the long sword.If it is unstable, then it will be a disaster. Go to the battle in a warm and peaceful way, and you will have a better chance of winning. "

"You are thoughtful." Li Shimin smiled.

"I don't know how to fight. I will do my best. In front of 100,000 people, this is just a drop in the bucket." Li Shimin said to Wang De: "Spread out the map."

"Yes." Wang De responded.

The map was spread out on the ground in the hall, and Li Shimin paced on the map.

"Li Jing, the commander of 100,000 troops, began to set out for Mayi. I really hope that he and Jie Li will fight directly in Mayi. 100,000 troops will face the main force under Jie Li now, and one battle will be enough to pacify it."

"Since we have enough confidence, the only one who has no confidence is Jie Li, who will definitely run away. "Li Fu said: "Running north, the deeper our army goes into the grassland, the greater the danger, and the more difficult it is to provide logistics. If Jie Li is smart, he will know that if he drags us north, our strength will be weakened along the way."

Li Shimin nodded.

"Yes, this is a big problem in attacking the grassland, especially in this season, it is really not easy."

"So many marching road generals are appointed to prevent him from running north. So many people have to surround him." Li Shimin said firmly: "They are all good at leading troops."

Li Fu smiled.

How could he not know how capable these people are?

These people are among the twenty-four heroes.

Single one is a well-known figure.

"Military intelligence report!"

"General Li has arrived in Yunzhou. "

Li Shimin looked at the map under his feet.

"General Li is a man of swiftness. There will be a fierce battle in Dingxiang. He even left the food and grass behind."

"Military intelligence is reported!"

"Li Daozon, the general commander of Datong Road, fought with the Turks in Lingzhou and won a great victory. He captured tens of thousands of Turks and their livestock."

"Military intelligence is reported!"

"Yusheshe and Linnaiteler led the people to surrender."

"Good! Good!!!"

With frequent good news, Li Shimin was in a very good mood every day during this period.
