  Chapter 584 Furong Tent Warm

  All the generals dispersed, and each went to order to prepare.

  The Kushan camp was boiling.

  The soldiers heard the order and were full of fighting spirit, no one was afraid, and the morale of the army was available.

  Qin Lang sat alone in the camp, but he didn't feel sleepy at all. He also knew that his plan to advance this time was too bold and aggressive, and very risky, but he really wanted to give it a try, and Cheng Yaojin, Liu Lancheng, Xi Jun, buying Liang Jianfang and other generals also supported it.

  Even Chai Shao, Xue Wanche, Zhang Shigui, Duan Zhixuan and other generals, although worried, are willing to give it a try, and they all want to make meritorious service and win honors.

  Zhang Chao came in, "General Cheng is here."

  Old Cheng directly brought a slaughtered and cleaned sheep and walked in, "I guess you haven't slept yet, you got a sheep, how do you eat it, boiled lamb or roasted lamb?"

  Qin Lang smiled, "Eat more lamb, roast leg of lamb, kebabs, and some mutton to boil, you didn't waste that blood, did you?"

"I guessed that you kid would want to eat blood sausage. I prepared it specially when I was slaughtering the sheep just now. I chopped the lamb, cleaned the intestines, and poured the blood in the sheep's cavity." Old Cheng talked to Qin often. When Lang eats, he never forgets the sheep blood sausage made by Qin Lang.

Freshly slaughtered sheep, first cut some fat and thin mutton, mince it, then mix some highland barley powder, then mix some **** and garlic powder into it, and then pour the fresh and clean blood from the abdominal cavity of the sheep into the cleaned sheep intestines In it, tie it into pieces with thread, and finally put it into a large pot of haggis soup and cook together. After cooking, remove it and cut it into slices. It is delicious, juicy, tender, smooth and crisp.

   "Old Liu still has pickled cucumbers, which taste sour and crunchy. I've already asked him to bring them over."

   "Also called Mr. Liu?"

   "You can't eat alone. If you have something good, you have to share it with your brothers." Old Cheng laughed.

  Liu Lancheng came in with a jar of pickled cucumbers in his left hand and two jars of fine wine in his right hand.

   "Old Cheng, you asked me to come and drink. After a long time, the sheep hasn't been chopped. What a fart, you still want to wait for me to do it, hurry up." Liu Lancheng was not polite.

   "Is there any seasoning for roast lamb? I don't have any, just some salt." Qin Lang laughed.

   "Are you worried about this thing? Now there are several groups of merchants in the camp, and they have a lot of good things. These guys are as bold as a smelly cat. They can run faster than our auxiliary soldiers!"

  Those merchants were cooperative merchants recruited by Qin Lang in advance, some were qualified to underwrite the spoils of war, some were responsible for transporting materials, in short, all kinds of merchants.

  Originally they should be behind the rear army, which is safer.

   But in fact, as long as businessmen have interests, they will not back down even if they are stabbed in front of them.

Some fast-running businessmen have already arrived in Kushan. These people are smart. They know that the front line has won a big victory, and the soldiers have all recorded their merits. Order something delicious, bring some useful ones, and there is even a **** talent who actually brought over a dozen prostitutes, disguised as men.

   Qin Lang was not harsh on these daring businessmen, after all, it was cooperation, and everyone got what they needed.

What's more, in fact, many cooperative companies are inextricably linked to the Longyou Army, just like Qin Lang, he is in Longyou, and of course the Qin family in Pingkangfang will develop here. The Qin family in Kangfang, the Qin family in Qinrenfang, and even his adopted brother, the Qin Guozhong Qin family in Huaihuafang, were also the first to respond.

   This is not only to support Qin Lang, but also to make a fortune by taking advantage of Qin Lang's relationship.

  Others, such as the Cheng family, the Chai family, the Xue family, etc., which general family actually does not have a business name? You can't just live on some salary, can you?

  Although the risk of this cooperation is not small, many transactions need to be paid in advance, but the expected future benefits are huge, and a little investment in the early stage is worthwhile.

   Not to mention anything else, there are now more than 300,000 livestock in the two camps near Kushan and Qinghai Lake.

  With so many livestock, not only had to be transported back to Longyou, but also sold out. Longyou definitely couldn't afford to eat them all at once, and the Longyou army alone couldn't distribute them.

  So you need to rely on merchants, and merchants want to benefit.

The Longyou army led by Qin Lang is not a businessman, and he will not pay attention to every penny. What he needs is to dispose of these things quickly. The merchants have their own manpower and channels, and they can quickly cash out and get huge profits from it. Everyone takes what they need .

  The big fat sheep slaughtered by Lao Cheng is worth a lot of money in Luoyang, Chang'an. Even in Longyou, it can be sold for a good price. But here, the fattest and biggest sheep cost less than a hundred dollars.

  Some smaller and thinner sheep can even be bought for as little as ten dollars.

  The larger the quantity, the cheaper the price. If you resend it to Longyou Pass and other places, you can make a lot of money.

   Not to mention big animals like cattle, horses and camels.

  In addition to the large number of these animals waiting to be disposed of, the Longyou Army, which has won a great victory, still has a large number of various seizures in its hands, all of which are waiting to be cleared quickly.

  As long as you have enough capital and courage, it's all yours.

  A fine Qinghai horse only costs ten guan, and such a horse used to be sold for at least 80 guan in the market in Chang'an.

Those salt dealers, wine dealers, etc., brought salt and wine, Qin Lang used the spoils of war to make up for it, but the discounts given by the soldiers of the Longyou Army were quite attractive, and they shipped the discounted spoils back , at least several times or even ten times the benefits.

  In Qin Lang's tent, more and more people came to eat supper.

At first only Lao Cheng came, then Lao Liu came, and then Duan Zhixuan and Zhang Shigui also came, and Xi Jun bought Liang Jianfang and others to join them. Qin Lang saw it for the last time, come on, just let Chai Shao, Murong Shun, and Xue Wanche brothers Let's call too.

   It can be regarded as a celebration feast.

Many piles of dried cow dung were burned in the tent, and several hanging pots were set up. These hanging pots were also brought by the merchants. Besides the pots, there were many other things, such as pickled cucumbers and fine wine brought by Lao Liu, and Lao Cheng brought them. Condiments such as cumin, pepper, dogwood powder, and soy sauce.

  The soldiers of the Longyou Army, who had just won a big victory, all spent a lot of money. Anyway, with Qin Lang's guarantee, everyone can directly pay the merchants for credit, and then they will settle the settlement when they go back.

  The hot pot is cooked, beef balls, mutton slices, and even kelp, dried abalone, dried mushrooms, etc. brought by the merchants. On the other hand, the generals skewered meat by themselves while rinsing and grilling it.

   While eating and roasting, the food was a bit dry, so I went to cook some hot pot again.

   If it's greasy, let's have some pickled cucumbers to relieve the greasy and appetizing.

   Drinking a little wine again, it is indeed a rare pleasure.

  The plan for the battle has also been made, so just eat, drink and have fun tonight.

   "Chai Gong, I offer you a toast."

  Qin Lang held a wine glass and signaled to Chai Shao that Chai Shao was a little unhappy because Qin Lang temporarily transferred him from the South Route Army, but he also knew that Qin Lang was worried that he and Cheng Yaojin would disagree and disagree with each other.

  Chai Shao is a veteran of Wude, and also the son-in-law of the Supreme Emperor. In terms of seniority, he is far superior to the process. He is now the governor of Qinzhou. In the South Route Army, he must have a greater say. But Cheng Yaojin is the current emperor's confidant, and he has nothing to do with Qin Lang. Qin Lang obviously trusted Cheng Yaojin more, and transferred him from the South Route Army, who had a higher prestige, to give Cheng Yaojin absolute authority to order the South Route Army and avoid conflicts in command.

   Chai Shao felt uncomfortable, but in the end he still refused to obey.

   "It's all for victory, I hope Mr. Chai can understand."

  Chai Shao raised his glass, "Understood."

   "The Northern Route Army has 10,000 cavalry on the right, with Chai Gong as the main force and General Murong as the deputy."

  Chai Shao shook his head, "There is no need to do that. The 10,000 troops on the right are all newly attached to the Tuyuhun army. How can I take over the position of general Murong? I will be the deputy general."

  Qin Lang called Murong Shun, who was also a knowledgeable person, and immediately said that Chai Shao was the main general and he was the deputy general.

After the three of them talked, Chai Shao finally took over the position of the commander-in-chief of the right army. Qin Lang was the commander-in-chief of the northern army. Vanguard officer.

  Cheng Yaojin's side used the former Central Army and the Rear Army to join forces, selected the elite, and incorporated thousands of cavalry from Dangxiang and Tuyuhun, with a total of 20,000 cavalry.

  The southern army was also divided into left and right armies. Cheng Yaojin was the commander of the southern army and concurrently served as the commander of the left army, while Liu Lancheng was the commander of the right army.

   Xue Wanche served as the vanguard officer, and Tuobasi's first few generals were in charge of the headquarters.

  In general, the North Route Army is obviously stronger. Although the Longyou Army only accounts for half, they are almost all elite cavalry troops, and the generals who command the troops are all famous for a while. Even if Qin Lang brought out Liang Xi's second-highest and fourth generals from the East Palace, he had already gone through two battles in Longyou and gained a great reputation.

   Such an arrangement is mainly because Qin Lang and others believe that Fu Yun is more likely to flee to the north, so the main force is deployed in the north. The southern army has Cheng Yaojin, Liu Lancheng and Xue Wanche, all of whom are still very good. Although the general Chai Shao was transferred away, it was to avoid disputes in command.

The generals in the account at this time can actually be said to have gathered the small half of the Tang court. Cheng Yaojin, Duan Zhixuan, and Zhang Shigui were all commanders of the Xuanjia cavalry in the Tiance Mansion before, and brothers Xue Wanche and Xue Wanjun were already in the Sui Dynasty. Famous brave knight.

  Xi Liang Ergao, although he was only a partial general in the Tiance Mansion before, he is now a leader among the younger generation.

Not to mention Chai Shao, he is a big brother in the military circle alongside Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Li Xiaogong, Li Ji, Liu Hongji, Changsun Shunde, etc. The emperor sent such a large army to ensure the safety of Longyou when he was unable to mobilize heavy reinforcements. A lot of brave generals came over, but they paid a lot of money.

Everyone sat there, eating meat and drinking happily, and no one talked about military affairs and war strategies, because everything that should be said has been said, and there is nothing to repeat after making a decision. They are all leaders in the army, which one is not clear this point.

  Eat and drink well, divide the troops tomorrow, just do it.

"Everyone, it's getting late, the barbecue is finished, the hot pot is also finished, and the wine is finished. I think today is the end of it. Everyone go back to rest, go to bed early and get up early. Tomorrow, we will go to the battlefield separately. .”

  Qin Lang raised his wine glass, "For the last glass of wine, I wish you success and a successful start. Fight me for a while, in exchange for the stability of Xijiang for three generations."

   "Hey!"

  All the generals got up together, each poured the last glass of wine, raised their glasses to congratulate each other, drank it all in one gulp, and then left.

Qin Lang washed up indiscriminately with a hint of alcohol, and just fell asleep, but Zhang Chao came in with a smile, "Sanlang, I'm afraid you'll be cold, so I found you a warm foot." woman.

  The scarlet cloak was unbuttoned, revealing the pink gauze skirt inside. Under the dim light in the tent, the woman was young and beautiful with delicate skin and tender flesh.

   "Sanlang enjoy it slowly, I'll stand guard for you outside." Saying that, Zhang Chao stepped back, leaving the girl standing there rather pitifully.

  Qin Lang breathed out the smell of alcohol, and felt a rush of dryness and heat in his blood.

  He beckoned, the beauty stepped forward hesitantly, Qin Lang smiled and hugged the girl, and pressed him down...
