Although he encountered many difficulties and even life and death crises, it was absolutely impossible for him to give up just like that.
Looking at the seven or eight generals in front of him, Changsun Wuji was still very confident. More than 200,000 troops had now gathered in Yiling City again. With so many people, he could do a lot.
Even if he did not attack Shuzhong, he could still attack Huguang in the southeast. He did not believe that Luo Zhang could still stop him.
But before sending out troops, he had to find a few experts to protect him. Otherwise, even with so many troops, Changsun Wuji would still feel uneasy.
If Luo Zhang sent two Xiantians to assassinate him and perform a beheading operation while he was sending troops, it would be in vain no matter how many troops he had. The commander would be dead, and the people below would not be scattered like a tree.
"Send people to search the mountains in central Shu. If you meet an expert, be sure to inform me of my conditions and see if they are willing to help me!" Changsun Wuji ordered his men.
"Yes, sir!" Everyone agreed.
Gaoguli, by the Green River. Ever since the confrontation between Changsun Chong and Li Jing, the two armies have been in peace with each other and have no idea of crossing the Green River.
However, Li Jing's ships have been being built, and it seems that they may cross the river at any time. However, Changsun Chong is not a vegetarian. He sends people to patrol along the river every day, even at night, for fear that Li Jing will launch a sneak attack.
In terms of the number of the army, Changsun Chong is at a disadvantage, but he has a geographical advantage. If you want to defeat him, you must cross the Green River. The Green River is like a barrier across the front of the two armies. If Without this barrier, Changsun Chong knew that he would definitely lose.
But now another problem appeared in front of him, that is, the cold winter was coming, but he did not have any more cotton-padded clothes.
The weather had not changed when Changsun rushed over, and he did not expect so much. After all, he was not someone like Li Jing who had been on the battlefield all year round and thought about everything.
After all, Changsun Chong was just a young man in his twenties. He had little experience in leading troops in war, but he only had strong personal force.
These days, he has been collecting cotton-padded clothes to supply his men. If he was not defeated by Li Jing's army but was defeated by the severe winter, he would probably become the laughing stock of others.
However, how can we get so many cotton-padded clothes suddenly? Liaodong is already barren. In addition, with the wars in the past two years, the people are already in poverty. It is impossible to get so many cotton-padded clothes.
But there are always ways. After seeing no new cotton-padded clothes, Changsun Chong issued an order. Every household in Pyongyang and its surrounding areas must hand over a set of cotton-padded clothes. Those who fail to hand over the clothes will be punished for collaborating with the enemy.
The issuance of this order caused an uproar in Pyongyang, and the people complained.
A set of cotton-padded clothes is nothing to Changsun Chong, but to a common people's family, it is a heavy burden.
Some ordinary families cannot even keep themselves warm, let alone hand over a set of cotton-padded clothes.
This is simply killing them.
However, orders are orders. Changsun Chong doesn't care about the lives of those people. What he wants is to ensure the lives of his soldiers. If these soldiers are gone, what will he have to fight against Li Jing.
As long as he persists, Li Jing will inevitably be unable to withstand the harsh winter and withdraw his troops. Once Li Jing withdraws his troops, he will be free to develop.
Changsun Chong's idea was good, but he didn't know that the Tang army was no longer afraid of the cold weather in the north.
At this moment, many generals were also standing in Li Jing's tent, reporting things to Li Jing.
"Commander, the coal shipped from East Turkestan is enough for us to survive this winter."
"Commander, the cotton-padded clothes sent from Chang'an have also been distributed to the soldiers!"
"Commander, the sled is also ready!"
"Commander, the construction of the igloo is ready. We just need to wait for heavy snowfall and the weather to get colder before we can build it!"
...
Li Jing was very satisfied when he heard that everything was arranged in an orderly manner.
Consumption? How much energy can your Changsun Chong afford? He was just a lost dog, and he actually tried to compete with the Celestial Empire. It was a joke. If it weren't for Lu Jiang, he would have led his army to wipe out Changsun Chong.
Calculating, the time is not far away. According to the past, Changsun Chong will die in half a month at most!
