Strong walls and clear the fields!

This is Tuguhun's usual style in dealing with invading enemies for hundreds of years!

Although, they also know that this is a stupid way to kill a thousand enemies and harm oneself for eight hundred!

But who makes it both simple and easy to use?

At this time, whether it was the Turks, the Tang people, or the Tubo people.

Whenever they send troops to attack Tuguhun, they are basically all cavalry!

Although the cavalry acted quickly, they came and went like the wind and had strong combat power.

But the disadvantage is also obvious: that is, in order to ensure the speed advantage, they cannot carry a large amount of baggage at all! Almost all the supplies are snatched!

After discovering this, the Tuguhu people naturally thought of such a stupid method.

As long as they burn everything, including the forage grass that feeds war horses, they will not leave any supplies for the enemy!

Then, you just need to wait for the enemy to consume all their supplies!

Without supplies, the enemy will naturally retreat!

I don’t even have to hit me!

It is precisely through this method that the Tuguhu people can survive on this land for hundreds of years!

They are like a cluster of weeds rooted here, letting them frost and fire. As long as they grit their teeth and endure them, they can see the spring blooming day of the next year.

However, compared with the past, Tuguhun's wishful thinking may be disappointed.

Because this time the Tang Dynasty came to us, it did not take the previous method of using war to support the war, but chose to take steady steps and advance step by step!

Not only did they transport countless supplies from the country, but they also received a lot of supplies from those tribes when they first began to wipe out the various tribes of Tuguhun one after another!

In addition, Xiao Han secretly mobilized countless caravans!

These caravans of all sizes are now delivering some salt and other consumption materials to Yangguan, and then transported them to Xiao Han through Yangguan.

It can be said without hesitation that the Tang army today is equivalent to a movable city!

After a rough calculation, relying on the materials reserved in the city alone is enough for the entire army to eat for three months and there is still a surplus!

Therefore, even if the enemy is strong and clear, Xiao Han is not in a hurry at all.

You can cleanse me! Anyway, it won’t harm me!

I don’t believe it anymore, you can really burn all your money!

Of course, if Tuguhun really made up his mind to do this, Xiao Han would feel that it would be easier.

Without those things, it depends on how you survive this winter!

Now he just needs to follow the original plan, step by step, and compress the enemy's living space bit by bit.

Aren't they unwilling to fight?

Then I will continue to move forward all the way, sooner or later, I will force them to come and fight!

Any strategy and plan, these things are so pale and powerless in the face of absolute power.

"Mom, it's snowing! When will Dad come back?"

Chang'an, Xiao family village.

Fragrant snowflakes were falling, and a lively and cute girl wearing a small marten fur coat was standing on tiptoe, trying to look towards the avenue outside the village.

"It's soon, it's soon!"

Behind the little girl, a woman who was so beautiful that she was wearing a little makeup, was looking at the little girl in front of her with a doting face.

There is no doubt that this woman is Xue Pan, the mistress of Xiao family village, now!

And the little doll with pink makeup is Princess Lantian, An An.

Seeing the crystal snowflakes falling on her daughter's hair, Xue Pan gently stepped forward, picked An An up from the ground, reached out to stroke the snowflakes on her hair, and said, "Dad is fighting outside. When he wins, he will come back!"

"Um!"

After hearing Xue Pan's words, the little girl nodded very hard, then waved her fist that was a little red from the cold and said, "Dad is the most powerful. He will definitely win the battle and beat all the bad guys away!"

"Yes, he will definitely win!"

When Xue Pan saw her daughter's cute appearance, she couldn't help but smile, but when her eyes turned to the world that gradually turned white, for some reason, there was a hint of worry in the seemingly sweet smile.

The journey to the grassland is more than a thousand miles?

At such a long distance, even a letter of communication often takes one or two months to reach the recipient.

And she got the latest news about her husband, half a month ago, her husband suddenly notified the caravan and asked them to transport a large number of tea and other supplies to the grassland!

Although I can’t figure out why the army wants tea?

But since it was the Marquis who personally pointed out that the personnel from the Xiao family caravan immediately began to purchase tea.

In order to collect the 500,000 kilograms of tea needed by the marquis, the Xiao family caravans sought out the whole world and collected almost all the tea on the market!

For a time, the prices of tea in the entire Tang Dynasty were soaring!

Even the inferior tea, which was originally worth only a few dozen cents, has risen to a sky-high price of nearly a usual amount of money!

As for the tea price that changed every day at that time, Xue Pan only said one word, that is to buy!

For the sake of her husband, even if she spends all her money, she must prepare all the supplies she needs!

Of course, facing the soaring tea prices in the market, they quickly attracted the attention of the government.

Immediately afterwards, with the order of the Minister of Revenue Dai Zhou (zhou), the prefectures and counties, immediately arrested a large number of merchants who raised the price of tea and stuffed them into prison!

Then, a piece of news that the soldiers of the Western Expedition urgently needed tea to treat their illness quickly spread among the people!

When I learned that the Xiao family caravan purchased tea, it was used to treat the soldiers of the Western Expedition!

The people who were originally slandering the government and arresting people in their hearts immediately changed their attitude and wanted to eat the unscrupulous merchants alive!

It's so disgraceful!

Even if the soldiers and men are sick, they will fight to the death on the desert grasslands and fight against the enemy endlessly!

And you, the unscrupulous merchants, actually raised prices later, increasing the tea that cured the soldiers dozens of times!

Don’t you feel it’s hot when you take this money?

Don’t you feel unable to sleep when you are lying in the bed at night?

For a time, the tea shops and grocery stores, which were originally prosperous, were scolded by the people and closed their doors and windows, and they didn't even dare to do business!

Of course, businessmen are worthy of being the smartest group in the world.

When some businesses see the turbulent feelings, it is almost impossible to suppress them.

They immediately carried out all the tea leaves in the warehouse and said that they would not take any money and donate them to the soldiers of the Western Expedition!

In this way, these unscrupulous merchants who were originally scolded immediately became models of conscientious merchants, and were also named and praised by the government for their donations.
Chapter completed!
