Luo Yong thought that as long as the Tang army did not attack Gaochang, everything would be almost fine.
However, he was still too naive.
In the border areas of this era, wars are always talked about.
The people of Gaochang surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and avoided the Tang Dynasty's war to destroy Gaochang, but they could not avoid the anger of the Turks.
In early March, on the post road outside Changle County, the sound of horse hooves could be heard all day long.
The messengers rode fast horses and went between the posts.
Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City Soon, Luo Yong received news from Tang Jian that the Turks were using troops against Gaochang.
On the one hand, Qu Wentai, the king of Gaochang, held the city tightly and on the other hand, he sent people across the vast Gobi to Yumen Pass to ask for help from the Tang army.
The imperial court responded quickly and ordered Qiao Shiwang, the general of the Tang Army stationed at Yumen Pass, to dispatch three thousand cavalry from the local area to assist Gaochang State.
On the other hand, Li Daozong's troops were already on the way.
Chang'an City is quite far away from the Hexi Corridor.
By the time Luo Yong and others heard that the general leading the army had been replaced, Li Daozong's troops had already been on the road for a long time.
Don't underestimate these three thousand cavalry.
In this era, there is a shortage of people everywhere.
For example, Changle County, which Luo Yong is in charge of, has only two to three thousand people in the entire county.
Later, the Tang government established the Western Region Protectorate in the Western Regions.
At its strongest, the Western Region Protectorate had only 20,000 troops.
It is now a time of peace and prosperity, the Tang Dynasty is becoming stronger and stronger, and the equipment level of the army is much better than before when conditions were difficult.
Before their unit set off, Luo Yong was lucky enough to go to the military camp with Tang Jian.
He couldn't understand much else.
What impressed him most was the pairs of rubber-soled leather boots worn by these soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
The emperor has planted many Eucommia trees in the past two years, and a large part of the Eucommia gum produced has been spent on these troops.
Luo Yong came here this time to give them a few things: cashmere socks, a compass, and alcohol.
The cashmere socks were produced by Luo Erniang's cashmere workshop.
A total of more than 3,000 pairs were transported by oxcart.
Luo Yong had made the compass early in the morning.
Now that the war is going on, if he doesn't use it now, how long will it take?
.
The last alcohol is made by repeated distillation of the head of Luo Yongren's white wine, and can be used to disinfect wounds.
The team was about to break camp, and Qiao Shiwang had no time to talk to them.
Luo Yong and Tang Jian didn't stay long, and left after delivering their things.
In mid-March, spring has not yet arrived in the Yumenguan area.
Outside the pass is a large area of deserted beach next door, with strong winds howling.
Although the soldiers have armored leather boots, they will inevitably have to suffer some hardships if they ride horses across this deserted desert in this season.
There is no pasture on the deserted desert in the Gobi, so food supply is also a big problem.
I hope that the joining of these people can alleviate the situation in Gaochang State.
As long as the immediate urgency can be solved, the army led by Li Daozong will arrive soon.
After the three thousand troops left the customs, the interior of the customs quickly fell into silence.
In Changle County, the only sound heard was the clatter of horse hooves outside the city every day, and the atmosphere in the city was a bit heavy.
I heard that over in Jinchang City, Fu Bingcao and others have been busy non-stop to welcome the arrival of the army, mainly regarding food and grass.
Marching in this era is not easy.
Although the country has granaries in various places, marching with a large amount of grain and grass requires a lot of manpower and material resources.
It must be reasonably arranged and constantly replenished from various warehouses along the way.
The mission of Fu Bingcao and others is to ensure that when this unit comes to their local area in Guazhou, they will receive sufficient supplies along the route.
In addition to warehouses in various places, I heard that the DPRK and China also allocated funds, but this was of no use to Luo Yong.

If someone else were to be an official in Changle County, I don't know what it would be like at this time.
Anyway, Luo Yong is a bit troublesome to Chen Jiao.
Normally, he would not look for Luo Yong if nothing happened, and he would not feel uncomfortable.
He is not often assigned work, especially now that there is Tang Jian here in Changle County.
So, Luo Yong had a rest here, but he also heard from the county chief secretary and others that when the sergeants passed through various towns, the local elders often prepared some food, rice and noodles for them.
In this era, marching has to be done on two legs, which is very painful.
It would be good if the local people could send some food to them to improve their food.
I heard that there are some troops who refuse to accept them, but they are in the minority after all, and they usually accept them.
Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City On the tenth day of April, Li Daozong led more than 10,000 nobles to Changle County.
It was getting late, so he ordered everyone to camp on a wasteland outside Changle County.
Luo Yong brought a group of elders and sent them some rice, flour and freshly slaughtered pigs and sheep.
In addition to these food, Luo Yong also personally gave them some alcohol compasses.
As for the cashmere socks, they were gone this time.
In fact, the ability is limited.
Luo Yong and others originally wanted to arrange a banquet for Li Daozong and other generals, but Li Daozong refused, saying that everything would be kept simple during the march.
Luo Yong and others recognized the interest, and after exchanging a few words, they withdrew from the camp early. .
As for Tang Jian, he has gone to Dunhuang again in the past few days.
Presumably, when Li Daozong's troops arrive in Dunhuang, they will also meet.
Luo Yong came out of the military tent and saw many soldiers camped on the spot along the way.
I heard that in their army, ten people are one fire, which roughly means that ten people eat, sleep and act together.
Later generations always say that there are groups of people, which probably comes from here.
At this time, I could only see the soldiers setting up tents, making fires, and groups of small and medium-sized people sitting on the ground chatting and resting.
Near the city gate, Luo Yong saw several young soldiers sitting around the fire talking.
There was a pottery cauldron on the fire.
The aroma of meat was floating in the pottery cauldron, and they should be cooking meat porridge.
Next to these young soldiers, there was a young man wrapped in clothes and lying on the ground sleeping.
When Luo Yong passed by them, he could see the man's face clearly by the firelight.
It was covered with dust and grease, but There is still a bit of childishness in his facial features, I wonder if he is twenty years old or not.
Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City War in this era was all about soldiers, mounts, equipment, and food.
Food and grass are the blood and sweat of the people, mounts and equipment require a lot of manpower and material resources to build, and soldiers are all living lives.
Early the next morning, when the sky was still dark, the people in the city heard the sound of troops marching outside.
There was a faint flicker of fire on the post road, and it seemed that the soldiers were on their way holding torches.
Luo Yong was standing on the newly built city wall at this time, watching the long fire dragon winding towards the Jade Gate Pass.
It was still dark, except for the firelight, there was only darkness between the sky and the earth, and the April morning wind was especially chilly.
The author has something to say: It's a little short, so don't dislike it.
