The first thousand six hundred and ninety-eight chapters are willful

Han Yi is really not good at fighting, but he is a psychology master, and psychological warfare is a relatively high level on the tactical level. He won without fighting. What is the basis for it? In fact, it is psychological warfare. Moreover, Han Yi's pursuit of gain is stable. As long as he wins, these expenses are nothing. So he really doesn't care if he gets late or early, but if he loses, this account will be very difficult to solve.

He hopes to be stable and not be impatient anymore, so as not to make the gains less than worth the cost.

Ren Yaxiang frowned and said, "But the difficulties brought by winter are not only food and grass, but also the cold weather. Goguryeo has burned down all the houses. Where do our army live?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "First of all, this is just a psychological war. We may not necessarily fight until next winter. We just want the other party to know that even if we fight until next winter, we are not afraid of them. In addition, we are preparing winter supplies for the soldiers early in the morning, and it is coming soon. We want our soldiers to know this. We are invincible. Even if we spend the winter here, there will be no difference from home. In this way, the soldiers will calm down."

Pang Xiaotai said in surprise: "Do we have so much food?"

He is not in Chang'an and does not know much about the situation.

Han Yi said: "At present, we have not used a grain of grain from the national treasury. I am now considering more about what to do after the war? Because when the troops return to the court, the cost of transporting so much grain back to the country will be far higher than the price of grain. Maybe, we will have to give alms to these Goguryeo people at that time."

"Ha ha!"

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Li Ji also smiled slightly.

Han Yide's words did go beyond the tactical level.

He held a meeting in the Central Army to stabilize the morale of the army, but Han Yi's words basically stabilized the morale of the army.

No matter how bad it is, it can kill the enemy. It is not afraid of having no food or wearing anything. Isn’t it just winter? Who is afraid of whom?

It is equivalent to declaring the Tang army invincible. With this guarantee, everyone naturally calmed down and didn't have to count the days to fight every day, which was so painful.

Li Ji nodded with a smile and said, "Everyone has heard it. The ambassador has made us invincible, and we generals have to do it to see if we can add icing on the cake to this victory."

"Ha ha!"

There were laughter bursting out from the big tent again.

The soldiers outside heard the boss laughing inside, and wondered, now that their attack was blocked, why are the bosses still so happy? Maybe they have a plan to defeat the enemy.

After this meeting, the Tang army began to join forces and move closer to the central army. In ancient times, communication was like that. Li Ji was also afraid of Pang Xiaotai's mistakes again. He became angry and went deeper alone. This is very likely. In war, he often had a hot mind, so if he joined the army, it would be easier to command.

Han Yi didn't know that he was yelling, so he quickly put his words into practice.

Because the peninsula is coming in winter, the sea may freeze, so the winter materials must be transported in place before the winter comes. But it does not mean that the logistics will be very busy, but it is actually relatively relaxed, because Han Yi’s plan is to use the island as a transfer station, which is similar to the restructuring of the canal transportation. In fact, the logistics have been moving during this period, but it is transported from Laizhou to the island, then from one island to another, and then delivered here, and it is transported every day.

After the Tang army's front was stabilized, a large amount of supplies began to be transported to the dock.

Not only are there food and grass, but also winter clothes, bedding, etc., and this is the first time that cotton should be used as a military force.

However, the current cotton output is still limited. Although we have been preparing, it is impossible to use cotton from head to toe. Cotton is mainly used on socks and gloves. In winter clothes, they are basically the same as before, just wear more, mainly using hemp, because hemp is overcapacity in the Tang Dynasty today, and the emergence of cotton has caused the price of hemp to plummet.

But hemp is not good at cold, it depends on silk cotton and animal fur. However, the beauty of freedom, the smart designers came up with a very cost-effective way from the experience of being poor. They sew some silk cotton and rags and fur on the inner layer of the clothes as inner liners to increase the thickness of the clothes and do not affect the beauty of the clothes.

More importantly, this helped Han Yi save a lot of money, and he could not guarantee that every soldier would wear the silk cotton that he was waiting for, which was unrealistic.

But the beauty of freedom produces a large amount of rags every year. It is a pity to lose these rags. You should know that the owner of the beauty of freedom, Zheng Shanxing is a very "stingy" guy. If you donate money, he is generous, but he is very saving in materials. His designers wear better than him. His clothes are so simple, but his fame also makes these things irrelevant. Therefore, the designer of the beauty of freedom must use his brain and think about how to use waste. Otherwise, the boss will be unhappy. Who can think of a way to use waste? Zheng Shanxing will reward him very generously.

However, the underwear is still brand new, and the close-fitting clothes must be comfortable and warm.

The emergence of cotton, the surplus of hemp, the rise of the textile industry, and Han Yi were preparing for this a long time ago, which led to the Tang army being able to face the arrival of winter calmly, no longer as before, soldiers had to prepare winter clothes themselves, and the country could not produce so many clothes at all.

In addition, there is oil. Coal is definitely not enough to burn now, but there is firewood here, which is said to be a scorched earth policy, but it is impossible to burn all the mountains here. Of course, it is more cost-effective to burn wood. Oil is just an auxiliary, and it can make the wood burn longer, which is also a very helpful thing for ignition.

The Tang soldiers were not stupid either. A large amount of winter supplies were transported here, which was obviously meant to spend the winter here.

For soldiers, it is very cold in winter. If you eat full and wear warm clothes here, you can just spend the winter.

At the same time, Han Yi also arrogantly promised the soldiers that as long as they win, everyone would give them rewards, and the pension was three times that of previous years, and they would not be delayed or owe them. At the same time, the court would allow their children to study in Zhaoyi Academy within five years and help soldiers with difficulties in their lives find jobs in the city.

The soldiers of the Tang army were very excited when they heard the news. Although Han Yi was just a promise, Han Yi was just a golden sign. No one doubted Han Yi's words. Han Yi threw away tens of thousands of weapons and equipment for thousands of soldiers without blinking. Do they have to lie about this little money? Moreover, now that he has reached the Yalu River, his success is so close, and the court has given such a heavy reward that even my family and descendants have considered it. Goguryeo must be destroyed!

The military camp was filled with joy and a peaceful atmosphere.

Because the Tang army is now in a confrontation with Goguryeo, the two armies are not far apart, and the Goguryeo soldiers see the situation of the Tang army. Even the prisoners who surrendered in front have added a few clothes. Because the Tang army soldiers got some new clothes and some of them don't want, they will wear them. Although these prisoners did not eat as much as the Tang army, they all ate inferior rice, but they were better than the Goguryeo soldiers. At least they were not hungry. Who would do these hardworking work when hungry? Han Yi's logistics emphasizes fighting to support the war. His logistics army is mainly elites and merchants, which is different from recruiting the people to serve in the past.

The Goguryeo soldiers thought to themselves that we were dressed like beggars when fighting at home. Every day when we started eating, we had to smell the fragrance of Tang Jun’s food to make an appetizer. If we didn’t envy it, it would definitely be fake. Yuan Gaisuwen could not be eaten as a meal. Even if we could, it would be enough for a few people to share.

At the same time, Goguryeo was gradually feeling pressure. Although the Tang army has been resting recently and has not attacked as fiercely as it was at the beginning, the problem is that the Tang army obviously has to spend the winter here, which means that the war will take a long time to end, because Goguryeo has only one tactic, defense, and there is no counterattack. The Tang army stays here for as long as they stay here, which will definitely have a negative impact on Goguryeo's morale.

"Brother Han, Brother Han."

Just as Han Yi was sitting in the big tent, dizzy and checking the distribution of materials, Xiong Di ran in sweating and said, "Brother Han, who are you going?"

Han Yi said in surprise: "It's not your elder sister, right?"

Brother Xiong blinked, then shook his head and said, "That's not."

Han Yi said angrily: "Why aren't you so excited?"

Brother Xiong scratched his fat cheeks awkwardly and said, "Yes - Uncle Yang is here."

"Uncle Yang? Which Uncle Yang?"

"It's Duke Guan!"

"Duke Guanguo?"

Han Yi said in surprise: "Why did he come?"

Before he finished speaking, he heard someone outside the account say, "I hope the appeaser will forgive the crime of leaving his post without permission!"

While talking, Yang Sixun walked in.

Han Yi was stunned for a moment, then stood up and bowed, "How dare you? Duke Guan Guo, please sit down quickly." After Yang Sixun sat down, he asked again, "But Duke Guan Guo, why are you here? Did you encounter any difficult things?"

Yang Sixun hesitated for a moment and nodded, "I'm encountering some difficult things."

"What's hard?"

Yang Sixun's face showed an unspeakable look.

Han Yi said anxiously: "Guan Guogong, what's the relationship between you and me? There are no outsiders here. You have something to say but it doesn't matter." If something happens to Yang Sixun, it means something happens to the logistics, and he has to be responsible.

Yang Sixun then said, "Pussy Envoy, can we change it?"

"Switch it?" Han Yi looked at Yang Sixun in confusion.

Yang Sixun said: "To be honest, I rarely deal with businessmen in my life, nor will I negotiate with them. Nowadays, all the merchants are all over Baekje, and many problems are caused in the middle. I am quarrel every day, and I really don't know how to deal with some problems, so I want to come here to manage the logistics."

The implication is that you go there to deal with merchants.

Yang Sixun was born in a noble family with a strong roots. The Yang family was the royal family of the Sui Dynasty. Although society was progressing, many of the ideas could not be changed after so many years. Before Han Yi, he had never met merchants at all. He really looked down on merchants. Now merchants are piled up in Baekje. Because Han Yi's plan was taken over by merchants after the war, and the other side was safer. Baekje had perished and the royal family was escorted to Chang'an. It was not very safe here, and merchants were not afraid to come here to choose land.

He deals with merchants every day, but he can't hide. He talks about the slightest benefits every day. He really can't stand it. He thinks this is more suitable for him. Only the soldiers should stay here. His father Yang Gongren is a general and a prime minister, both civil and military. Of course, he also wants to make achievements and not lose his father's face, instead of discussing with merchants every day how much a mu of land is worth.

Han Yi pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay."

Yang Sixun didn't expect Han Yi to agree so readily, and he couldn't react, "Where did you agree?"

Han Yi nodded and smiled, "I am indeed not considering it well. Personally, I would rather deal with those businessmen than direct traffic here."
