Li Xiu didn't expect to see Xue Rengui in the military camp. He immediately pulled him to his tent enthusiastically and brewed a pot of tea for him. As a result, Xue Rengui took the tea in his hand and carefully sipped it. His face showed a very enjoyable expression. After a moment, he said with great emotion: "I finally got a sip of it."

"Rengui, you have worked hard all the way. How is the situation outside? Have you encountered many Goguryeo cavalry?" Li Xiu asked again at this time. He had asked Xue Rengui just now and learned that the other party had given an urgent document under Cheng Yaojin's order. Now Cheng Yaojin has left Chifeng City and is quietly heading east of Anshi City, intending to cut off the retreat of Gao Yanshou's support army.

"There are indeed too many Goguryeo cavalry outside. This time I led my brothers to escort Gongwen, but there were Goguryeo cavalry everywhere along the way. I can't remember how many times I encountered them on the road, but we just used our ears to plan military achievements to save a bag." Xue Rengui also smiled bitterly at this time, and then he explained the details of his arrival.

It took Xue Rengui ten days to get here from Chifeng City. If it were normal, he could reach it in two days by riding a fast horse. However, because there were too many Goguryeo cavalry on the road, they also fought and fled. After all, Goguryeo's cavalry had the advantage in the number of Goguryeo cavalry. If they were entangled by the opponent's large cavalry, it would be difficult to escape.

Xue Rengui's main task is to escort official documents. If the official documents fall into the hands of Goguryeo, it may cause greater losses to the army, so they dare not fight along the way, but even so, there must be hundreds of Goguryeo cavalry who died in their hands. Of course, they also suffered some brothers, but the losses were not too great.

"It's not easy. During this period, a small group of cavalry often sent to fight against the Goguryeo people. It was a victory or defeat for each other. The general's method of planning military merits was too bad. Especially now that the weather is hot, the ears are prone to odor and rot after being cut off. The officials who planned military merits have already started to curse!" Li Xiu nodded after hearing Xue Rengui's words, and then couldn't help but smile.

The soldiers of the Tang army had the easiest way to calculate military merits, which was to count the heads. However, it was inconvenient to carry the heads during the war, so they changed to cutting off a certain organ on the corpse to calculate military merits. As for where to cut them, there was no regulation. Each general had his own hobby. However, this method was nothing when it was cold, but when the weather was hot, it had to be used to prevent corrosion. However, the rough men in the war had no particular concerns, and few people would carry lime with them.

Xue Rengui couldn't help laughing when he heard Li Xiu's words. Then he seemed to think of something. He asked in a low voice: "Son-in-law, is there any big moves on His Majesty? When I came in just now, it seemed that many military camps were nervously dispatching, and even the cavalry who had just arrived had to be organized into various military camps to prepare?"

The reason why Xue Rengui appeared in front of the camp where the materials were stored was that they had just handed over the escort documents and had not even had time to drink saliva, so they received an order to report to Li Daozong. However, Xue Rengui suggested that they fought with Goguryeo for several days, and the weapons and armor on their bodies were damaged. Moreover, they were imperial guards, and the weapons and armor were all distributed by the court, so they went to the camp where the materials were managed to change the weapons and armor. They happened to meet Li Xiu.

"Oh no, my superior asked me to go to General Li to report immediately. I was just talking to the prince consort, but I forgot about this matter. Maybe General Li will punish us!" Xue Rengui suddenly shouted in surprise. If the military camp fails to reach the deadline, it is also a serious crime for beheading.

"It's okay, it takes time for you to change your weapons and equipment, and some of your subordinates are injured, so you need to deal with it. In addition, Li Daozong and I are very familiar with each other. Why don't I go with you and explain it to you when the time comes!" Li Xiu said with a smile at this time.

Last time Li Shimin wanted to marry Li Daozong's niece as a princess to marry into the Western Regions. Fortunately, he was dissuaded by Li Xiu later. As a result, Li Daozong also thanked her many times and even wanted to give her niece to Li Xiu as a concubine. He was so scared that he hid away when he saw him for a long time.

Xue Rengui is not a pretentious person. When he heard that Li Xiu was going to take him there, he hurriedly stood up and thanked him. Originally, Li Xiu wanted to keep Xue Rengui for dinner, but he thought that the military situation is urgent now. In the decisive battle three days later, Li Daozong also had a heavy responsibility. Then it was time for Xue Rengui to show off, so he could not delay him at this time.

At that moment, Li Xiu and Xue Rengui left the tent, but when they were on the road, Xue Rengui kept asking about the big moves in the army. After all, his status was too low and he could not get in touch with the news from the superiors. However, Li Xiu was not convenient to tell him. After all, this matter was of great importance. Now, except for a few people such as Li Shimin and Li Ji, even some middle-level generals did not know.

"Rengui, don't ask, but I can tell you that this is a good opportunity for you to make achievements. It's like a fish leaping over the dragon gate. Whether you can become a dragon will jump here!" Li Xiu hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Xue Rengui heard what Li Xiu said solemnly, and he knew that some secrets in the army could not be found out, so he couldn't help but show a solemn expression: "Thank you for your advice, I will definitely not let my son-in-law down!"

"Haha, of course, you don't have too much pressure. With your talents, it will be a matter of time before you can give up. However, except for Goguryeo, it will be difficult to find such a good opportunity in the future. What's more, Your Majesty will be personally sent. As long as you can leave an impression on Your Majesty, your promotion will be much easier in the future." Li Xiu smiled again at this time.

At that moment, Li Xiu and Xue Rengui were chatting while walking, and finally came to the military camp where Li Daozong was. According to Li Shimin's plan, Li Ji faced Gao Yanshou's main army head-on, while Cheng Yaojin cut off the opponent's retreat from behind, and then Li Daozong led a main cavalry to disrupt Goguryeo's army with a blade. At that time, the opponent could not take care of the head and tail, and naturally turned into a pile of loose sand. Even if there were more troops, it could only become the food in the mouth of the Tang army.

Li Daozong's camp was full of cavalry, and he was still far from the camp, and he could hear the neighing sounds of horses in it. At that moment, Li Xiu brought Xue Rengui into the camp, but Xue Rengui's subordinates did not follow him. Now he only needs to report to Li Daozong, and then the other party will allocate the barracks to him.

However, Li Xiu came to Li Daozong's camp and was stunned. After inquiring about it, he found that Li Daozong had actually gone to find him. It was probably because the two of them missed it on the way. In desperation, Li Xiu had to take Xue Rengui back, and finally met the other party in the camp where the supplies were stored.

"Your son-in-law, you are here. I have been looking for you for a long time!" When Li Daozong saw Li Xiu, he was also happy and immediately came forward. Cen Wenben behind him looked helpless. It seemed that when Li Xiu had not arrived just now, the two seemed to have had some dispute.

"You are polite to King Jiangxia. I happened to have something to come to you, so I went to your place just now, but I didn't expect you to come to me." Li Xiu also said with a smile. Li Daozong was originally named King of Rencheng, but last year Li Shimin changed the titles to many royal families, and Li Daozong was named King of Jiangxia and served in the Ministry of War.

Li Daozong seemed very anxious. At this time, he did not ask Li Xiu what he was asking for, but said directly: "You know the situation in the present. My mission is very heavy. The most important thing for the cavalry is the mount under the clamp. People can eat a little less, but the horse cannot be bad at all. So I need a lot of soybeans in my place, but what you give is not enough, so I would like to ask the son-in-law to reconcile and give us a batch of beans first, otherwise my people will not be able to ride horses to fight!"

War horses cannot just eat grass. Beans are the staple food for war horses, otherwise they will not have the strength to carry cavalry to fight. After all, a cavalry's own weight, plus armor and weapons, must be hundreds of pounds, which is not something that ordinary horses can carry.

"The supply of horse materials has always been very sufficient, why is it not enough?" Li Xiu couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard this, then turned his head to look at Cen Wenben next to him.

"Mr. The horse materials from King Jiangxia have been sent according to the previous plan, but King Jiangxia requested doubled. Although our horse materials are relatively sufficient, there are many horses in the military camp. In addition to war horses, there are also a large number of horses. There are also cavalry in other military camps, so although the horse materials are sufficient, they cannot be used randomly!" Cen Wenben said helplessly at this time, the logistics dispatch is like this. Every military camp said that there is not enough supplies, and they cannot be satisfied, otherwise the transportation in the rear would not be able to keep up.

"King Jiangxia, your requirements are indeed too high. If you double them, if other military camps require this, then we may have to hang ourselves." Li Xiu smiled bitterly when he heard this, but he was used to the ability of these generals in the military camp to ask for prices everywhere, so he was not so easy to fool.

"Mr. Prince Concubine, we are all old friends, and you must know the arrangements of Your Majesty better than me, so the amount of horse materials used in normal times cannot satisfy our war horses. Please understand us!" Li Daozong was in a relationship and a way of understanding the righteousness at this time.

Li Xiu couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression when he heard this. After a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Let's do this, King Jiangxia, you are indeed responsible for heavy responsibilities. The war horses require more physical strength. Then I will give you 20% of the horse materials. This is our limit. You may even reduce the materials used for slow horses. I hope you can understand our difficulties too!"

Although Li Daozong just shouted twice, he actually spoke up so that he could bargain. He was very satisfied with even getting 10% more horse materials. However, he didn't expect that Li Xiu would give 10% more. He nodded without hesitation. At this time, Li Xiu also pulled Xue Rengui next to him and said, "King Jiangxia, I'll introduce you to a talented general!"
