For Li Qinzai, the most painful thing about participating in this war was not the flash of swords on the battlefield, but the process of marching.
In an era without cars and high-speed trains, even the roads were dirt roads with potholes. Li Qinzai was sitting on an ox cart loaded with grain and grass. It was only the first day of the march and he had already vomited three times.
Well, that’s right, in ancient times it was not necessarily horses that transported grain and grass to wars, but also cows.
Li Qinzai, whose complexion was sallow from vomiting, lay dying on the grain and grass. Liu Asi next to him looked at him sympathetically.
Of course, Li Qinzai was unable to go on this expedition alone. Li Ji allocated some of the troops in the Duke's Mansion to him. Li Qinzai was not polite to Li Ji and asked for two full squads, one of which was Liu Ah. Team of four.
Even if you get used to it, you can simply take him with you. Maybe you can get a chance to make meritorious deeds, and Liu Asi has been following him for so long.
The other team member is also from the Duke's mansion, named Zheng Fang.
Li Qinzai laughed for a long time when he heard the name.
Zheng Fang, main house.
The father-in-law of Zheng Fang was so insecure that when he named his son, he always justified his own name and announced to the world that he was the son of the first wife.
Liu Asi and Zheng Fang each have a team, with a total of exactly one hundred people.
A hundred people thrown on the battlefield wouldn't even be able to make a splash, but if the situation was critical, it would still be barely enough to protect Li Qinzai from escaping.
Seeing that Li Qinzai was feeling uncomfortable, Liu Asi couldn't help but said: "Fifth Young Master, you have barely learned how to ride a horse, why do you have to suffer in the grain cart?"
Li Qinzai said weakly: "If I don't ride a horse, I like to ride in a grain cart."
Liu Asi smiled: "You don't look like you at all."
"What do you know? Not only does your butt hurt after riding for a long time, it can easily lead to hemorrhoids. It can also lead to bow-legged legs, making you look like an overfed duck when you walk on the ground."
Liu Asi said nonchalantly: "The man is not ugly, but his bow legs are very tight."
"Of course it doesn't matter to you, because your ugliness has nothing to do with your bow legs. But I'm different. I'm a charming and scandalous dandy from Chang'an City. When I'm riding on a horse, others say, 'I'm riding a horse leaning on a leaning bridge, and the whole building is filled with red sleeves.'"
"When he got off the horse, his legs were spread out and swaying, as if he had just been tortured by a group of strong men. Thousands of young girls must be so disillusioned."
Liu Asi thought about that scene and couldn't help laughing. The surrounding tribes also laughed when they heard it.
The atmosphere was cheerful and no one had any worries about the impending war.
Because I am confident, I don’t worry.
Today's Tang Dynasty is really full of martial virtues. The neighbors around it will kill whoever they catch. The few small countries that are adjacent to the Tang Dynasty often have a terrifying feeling of a tiger sleeping soundly beside the bed, and they dare not breathe.
Of course, there are also enemies who are unconvinced and overestimate their capabilities, and there are many of them, such as the Japanese country, which is about to suffer misfortune.
What are you worried about? There is no need at all. The king's divisions gather into formation and can defeat the enemy with a single charge.
The oxcart loaded with grain and grass was slowly swallowing. Li Qinzai, who was lying on the grain bag, looked livid and felt like vomiting again.
The team escorting the grain and fodder was quite large, about 3,000 people, most of whom were drafted civilians, and there were more than 1,000 soldiers.
In the entire team, Li Qinzai has the highest official position and is also the weakest. The Tang Dynasty version of Young Master Kong is suffering very much now.
"Fifth Young Master, when we get to the city ahead, I will help you find a carriage." Liu Asi sighed.
Li Qinzai sighed weakly: "You might as well build a road for me, a smooth and straight road."
Suddenly an idea flashed in my mind.
It seems that it is not difficult to make cement these days. There is basically no technical content, just kiln burning.
Cement is a treasure. Whether it is used for civilian or military purposes, it is epoch-making.
While he was thinking about it, the sound of horse hooves came from behind the grain team.
Two armored generals rode up to Li Qinzai. One of them held his fists in a respectful salute, while the other held his whip upside down with a rather arrogant expression.
The saluting military commander quickly looked at the arrogant military commander, and then said: "An Jinzhi, deputy general of the grain governor of Xiongjin Road, pays homage to County Prince Li."
Li Qinzai endured the discomfort and tried his best to smile and nodded.
The other general said nothing. An Jinzhi felt a little embarrassed and raised his arm to touch him.
At this time, the arrogant general clasped his fists perfunctorily and said in a deep voice: "Qian Yi, the grain officer of Xiongjin Road, has met Mr. Li."
Li Qinzai continued to smile and nod, but felt strange in his heart.
What is the origin of this thing called Qian Yi? Why are you so indifferent to yourself, as if you owe him money? You have never met him and have no grudges. How can you show your face?
Qian Yi bowed and stopped talking. The deputy general An Jinzhi waited for a long time. Seeing that Qian Yi didn't speak, he had no choice but to speak himself.
"Reporting to Mr. Li County, the last two generals were ordered by the Ministry of War to escort the first batch of 5,000 shi of grain and grass. Among them, the Chang'an City Household Department directly allocated 2,000 shi. The remaining 3,000 shi were approved by the Household Department and sent to Puzhou City ahead. Supply from the official warehouse.”
"The two generals are here to take orders to go ahead and count and hand over the grain and grass in Puzhou in advance. Please give me your instructions, County Master Li."
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "Go ahead, you two will take care of the matter of supervising the transportation of grain and fodder. Let me know when it's done and I will keep an account. As long as the date of transportation of grain is not delayed, everything will be easy."
An Jinzhi clasped his fists again, and then pulled Qian Yi next to him. Qian Yi reluctantly clasped his fists perfunctorily, and the two generals rode away.
Li Qinzai narrowed his eyes and stared at the two people's retreating figures, and couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
When Qian Yi saw him, he looked like he was an enemy. Could it be that his predecessor in this body was causing trouble again?
This is too much. I have traveled through time for more than half a year, and I still have to take the blame for my ex...
If you carry it again, you will commit suicide!
After pondering for a long time, Li Qinzai suddenly said: "Ah Si."
"exist."
"I used to be... to be precise, was I quite a jerk before I made the God Arm Bow?"
Liu Asi was shocked, didn’t you know what you were like before?
After not waiting for an answer for a long time, he turned around and saw Liu Asi's stunned look. Li Qinzai suddenly felt that not only had he asked a nonsense question, but he had also humiliated himself.
"Forget it, you don't have to answer this question. Go and have a look among the soldiers of the grain team and ask about Qian Yi, especially make some insinuations and ask me if I have ever abused his mother-in-law before..."
Liu Asi was shocked and said: "Why does Fifth Young Master have such thoughts?"
Li Qinzai sighed, pointed to Qian Yiyuan's retreating figure in front of him, and said, "Did you see his expression just now? It's almost like I gave him a 'husband is currently guilty', go and ask, I I feel uneasy..."
Liu Asi took the order and turned around and left.
Li Qinzai continued to lie on the grain cart listlessly.
After a day of wandering, Li Qinzai's legs were weak when he was stationed at night. He was helped out of the oxcart by Bu Qu, and he staggered to lie down in the tent.
After reluctantly eating some dinner, Liu Asi came back.
"How's it going? What did you find out?" Li Qinzai looked worried and guilty: "Have I really abused his mother-in-law?"
Liu Asi smiled: "Fifth Young Master, you are worrying too much. You may have abused other people's wives before, but you are definitely not a wife who can benefit from money."
Li Qinzai twitched the corner of his mouth, you are really stupid.
It's no use to any mother-in-law, I haven't tasted it.
"The villain has heard about it. Qian Yi and Fifth Young Master had no grudges in the past."
Li Qinzai asked curiously: "There is no grudge. Did he take the wrong medicine? He looked at me coldly."
"Although he has no grudges, Qian Yi is also a fierce general. He was once the captain of Zhechong Prefecture in Songzhou. He fought with Tubo during the Yonghui period. It is said that he was brave and invincible. He killed five Tubo thieves in front of the battle and had outstanding military achievements. He was reported to the Ministry of War, which promoted him to Captain in the third year of Xianqing's reign..."
Li Qinzai became more and more curious: "The captain is quite old, why has he become the grain inspector now?"
"Although he was a strong general, he had a hot temper, spoke upright, and often beat and scolded his subordinates. Later, the soldiers became so resentful that they almost led to a mutiny in the army. The Ministry of War demoted him and became a grain inspector..."
Li Qinzai frowned: "This kind of person should be demoted and beaten, otherwise he will cause big trouble in the future..."
Liu Asi glanced at him strangely.
Li Qinzai immediately understood the meaning in his eyes, pointed at him and said: "Don't look at me with this look. Although I have caused big troubles, I solved them on my own. There is an essential difference between him and me."
"Yes, the Fifth Young Master is a hundred times stronger than him." Liu Asi continued: "This Qian Yi has been a grain inspector for three years, but his temper has not calmed down at all. Instead, he has become even worse. He often drinks alcohol in the army. After being drunk, Swearing loudly and bluntly saying that God is unfair, Shangguan has no eyes and so on."
"Not only that, Qian Yi is even more arrogant and arrogant. He often talks about the fact that he once killed five Tubo thieves. He also looks down on those who have no ability and rely on the shadow of their ancestors and fathers to reach high positions..."
Li Qinzai looked at him in shock.
Liu Asi said with a sincere expression: "So, Fifth Young Master is really worrying too much. I have no grudge against you. He just looks down on you and despises you."
