Baibi Village is surrounded by Longmen Ferry of the Yellow River and faces Jiangzhou.

Further down the road is the former Hedong land of Jinzhou, Luzhou and Bingzhou. If it goes well, it will move forward from now on, and it will directly hit Taiyuan and Jinyang like a pearl roller shutter, and regain all the land that fell into the hands of Liu Wuzhou.

When Li Shimin led his troops, he did have such plans.

The reason why he led his troops across the Longmen Crossing to Baibi was to advance along the river to wipe out Liu Wuzhou's troops in one fell swoop.

Because Pei Ji and Liu Wuzhou had fought Yu Suo Yuandu before, they were almost wiped out.

Li Jiancheng then suffered a great loss. When Li Shimin led his troops, the situation was already very bad.

King Lu Chongmao of Wei rebelled in Xia County, and the cavalry of Liu Wuzhou even followed the Yellow River to search for a suitable ferry, and it was very likely to drive straight into Guanzhong.

After all, Li Shimin was a man of war, and he had elite soldiers like Xuanjia Cavalry under his command, so he was very glorious in the first battle.

Defeat Lu Chongmao, kill Huang Ziying, and defeated Liu Wuzhou in Lianzhan and defeated Liu Wuzhou in a row, and it was a situation where one battle would determine the world and make the two battlefields of the Tang Dynasty win at the same time.

It’s a pity that the battle in Xia County was defeated back to its prototype.

Now Baibi has completely turned into the defensive situation, and the army has set up formations along the river and the mountains, and the camp has stretched for miles like a long snake.

There are all kinds of guarding facilities such as village walls, horse-resisting horses, and fences.

Three trenches were dug outside the camp, and the trenches were full of trenches.

If you want to leave, you will put large wooden boards on the trench, and usually you will use a winch to lift the wooden boards and rely on these wide trenches to prevent the attack of Liu Wuzhou's troops.

There are many scheming battles among the camps, and soldiers are on duty day and night to monitor the front.

Once an enemy soldier is found trying to attack, he can immediately send a message to warn him.

Using flags during the day and lights at night, tens of thousands of soldiers from the Baibi camp can react immediately, and the future enemies will be blocked outside the camp gate.

It can be seen that among these soldiers, there are a group of good at civil engineering operations.

The camp has been built like a simple city. Although there is no city wall, the rammed earth wall has been built. There are even horse faces and stents outside the village wall. There are actually not much difference compared to the city wall.

It takes no less effort to capture such a camp than to siege.

Either you have to pile up human lives or you have to build siege equipment obediently and grind it a little bit.

It is even better than the two new cities that Xu Le stationed outside Luoyang City.

This means that the Tang army is rich in resources, otherwise it would be impossible for them to lose their fortunes. They use so much manpower and material resources to build a camp that they may leave at any time and cannot be taken away.

It seems that this camp is indeed murderous and vigilant, but a discerning person can see something wrong with it at a glance.

Not to mention anything else, what's the use of building a building that is so strong?

The so-called camp means temporary garrison.

After the war, the troops always have to move. Isn’t these burdens in vain?

The only explanation is that the main general of this camp has given up his offensive plan and is completely consuming it.

Deep grooves and high barriers delay time refers to the current situation.

As a military soldier in the battalion, you can also feel something is wrong here.

First, Xia County was defeated, and then built such a camp. Who doesn’t know what it means?

More importantly, Li Shimin, as the chief general of the three armies, has never appeared in front of others since that battle.

This made the soldiers even more murmured, wondering what Erlang was like, was he really suffered a fatal blow as in the legend, and the situation was in danger and could no longer be in charge of the director?

Despair, suspicion, pessimism and other negative emotions spread like plague in the military camp.

The morale, including Xuanjia Cavalry, has been reduced to a very dangerous level.

Fortunately, the Tang army's military law was strict, and the military judge led the executioner to walk back and forth in the camp. The sharp edge of the sword and the bloodstained from the ring were the best warning.

Anyone who whispers or makes trouble at this time, no matter what official position or origin, will end up dead ending.

Compared with Li Jiancheng or Li Yuanji, Li Shimin is better at winning the hearts of soldiers.

With strict military laws and clear discipline of rewards and punishments, the Tang army can still maintain basic morale and organization, so as not to become a mess and easily defeated by Liu Wuzhou.

But no one can guarantee how long this situation can last.

Compared with the unpredictable commander and the enemy soldiers all over the mountains, there is a bigger crisis before the Tang army: the army lacks food and fodder, and if this continues, it will soon be interrupted.

From the time when Li Yuan was in charge of Jinyang, the commander of Yingyang from the six prefectures of Hedong, until he firmly sat in Chang'an to ascend the throne and become emperor, his soldiers and generals did not live a poor life.

When he was the only one who stayed in Jinyang, he would reward money every few days, so that the soldiers would get money with mercy and wished he could sell his life to the Li family's conscience.

As for diet, it is not to mention that eating and drinking is the most basic thing. You can eat and drink at least twice a month, and you can drink a few sips of wine occasionally.

They were all in the army, and being Li Yuan's soldiers was more comfortable than the Yunzhong border army and more comfortable than the mansion soldiers under Yang Guang's command. This was almost the consensus of the warriors at that time.

Not to mention that after the rebellion, the Li family relies on wealth and power to suppress others. Behind it is the support of a wealthy family, money, grain and wealth are rolling in like the flowing water of the Yangtze River.

The soldiers are just going to kill people with their lives. There is no need to worry about food, drink and rewards, and they are enough to ensure supply.

The only crisis was when the Yinshi Master drove the people.

However, Xu Le dealt with it in time and the matter did not spread at all.

Apart from the top, most soldiers had no idea that there had been such a crisis of no cooking.

Since then, the Tang Dynasty has obtained Yongfeng Warehouse and grain storage, and the soldiers have no need to worry about food and drink.

In an era when most people have to endure hunger most of the time and even take hunger for granted, the Tang army has already regarded eating enough as a matter of course.

Everyone is used to fighting wealthy wars, and never thought that they might not be able to eat.

It is impossible for large army to rely on their own food and grass to carry food and military supplies in war, and the supply from the rear is the guarantee.

But now, there is a big problem with the logistics supply.

Longmen Ferry is not a particularly excellent ferry, and it is even more so for the large group of people.

Li Shimin was able to cross the Dragon Gate largely because he was lucky.

But after he was defeated in Xia County, his luck seemed to have come to an end.

The gantry suddenly surged, the water flow became turbulent, and the transportation of military food became extremely difficult.

It is said that the Lord Han City was so anxious that he stamped his feet and cursed. He wanted to commit suicide by throwing himself into the water several times, but he still could not transport the food and fodder in the city to the front of the army.

I can only transport some food in pieces, compared to the consumption of the army, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

The marching Sima had already begun to control the military's appetite. The big-bellied men were forced to tighten their belts and could not eat and drink as much as before.

The daily food of soldiers responsible for guarding and fighting on the wall should be different from the bye soldiers and the soldiers who are on duty. Even the defenders should set different standards based on the military branches.

Cavalry eat more, followed by archers.

If it is the most ordinary spear soldier, he deserves to be unlucky. Even if he really wants to fight on the wall, he can only eat 70% full.

At this point, the veteran can feel something is wrong.

Behind it is the Yellow River, which can certainly avoid worries, but it also means there is no way out.

If the food is cut off again, everyone will die and have no hope of living.

I didn't dare to say it, but I was thinking in my heart, unconsciously glanced at the handsome tent in the barracks.

I hope Li Erlang can come out soon and get a charter for the three armies.

At least walk around and make everyone feel at ease even if they take a look.

However, the handsome man was surrounded by hundreds of Jinyi's generals outside the tent, and no one could see the situation inside.

Only people can be seen coming and going, but these people are strictly protected and no one is allowed to approach, so naturally there is no way to know the situation.

The entire commander's tent was like a forbidden area, but the more this happened, the more the soldiers and generals couldn't help but wonder what happened was so mysterious.

The fragrance of medicine is everywhere in the tent. If an experienced doctor or an old man is here, you will understand as soon as you smell the smell, someone has suffered a serious internal injury.

These herbs must be used to treat them, so there is no need to say much about who the injured person is.

The camp tents of the three armies are different from ordinary soldiers. Although they are not as luxurious as the eight-treasure yellow tent like Yang Guang, they are also tall and wider than several times that of ordinary soldiers.

There was a bed in the tent, and Li Shimin was lying on it, his eyes were closed, and a handkerchief was placed on his forehead.

There was a pot of medicine on the stove next to it, and the fire below was strong.

Thanks to the large enough tent and keeping a distance from all tents, otherwise the smell of medicine and fireworks will make all arrangements meaningless and reveal their strengths early.

The old doctor who served the Li family for many years knelt on the edge of the bed to take the pulse of Li Shimin. The newly surrendered general Yuchi Gong faced the account door with his back to the bed. The iron whip that was like a latch was held tightly in his hand. Anyone who dared to break in casually would immediately have his head bloomed.

Changsun Wuji was like an ant on a hot pan and muttered to himself: "I have long said that as a general, you should not learn to compete with others in martial arts. You should command thousands of troops, and you will not be glorious if you win with a military man.

Now that it's like this, what should I do?

Mr. Zhang, you see, how many days have passed, why are you still like this?

Should I change the prescription?"

The doctor sighed: "This is not Fangzi's business.

If there is a shortage of doctors and medicine in the military, I can only make a simple mistake, and it will naturally be slower to take effect.

I’m afraid this won’t last long. To be honest, there is not much left in the medicinal materials, and at most three doses of medicine will not be enough.”

"this?

What's going on?

Why are there no medicine?”

The doctor shook his head: "I don't know how to answer this.

A good wife cannot cook without rice. If Changsun blames her, she has to apply the old military law.

But I really can’t do anything about this medicine.”

Li Shimin forced his eyes to open his eyes at this time and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't be arrogant, don't ignore him."
