Chapter 341 Zhang Wen picks up bargains online

Three days later, Liu Tao originally thought that Zhang Wen had sent a side army, about three or five thousand people to take over these prisoners, but he didn't expect that the other party brought the main force over.

"Does the thief have any new updates?" Liu Tao had to find Zhang Wen and ask him.

"There is no more new information at present!" Zhang Wen said, "but the information indicates that the thieves are still in Anding County and have not left. At the same time, the 10,000 ambushers encountered by General Liu also show that the main force of the thieves should be here, so I came here."

The problem is that it doesn't look like you at all... Didn't you keep saying that you are stable? You took the initiative to come to the front line or something...

"Qi County is currently safe. The subordinates have sent people to investigate the surrounding area for twenty miles, but no enemy troops have been found." Liu Tao could only tell the situation on his side.

The key is to accept the prisoners as soon as possible! Do you still plan to let them be under your command and cheat food and drink?

Fortunately, the first thing Zhang Wen did later was to send someone to count the prisoners. But Liu Tao felt that he was going to count, not only to plan to accept them, but also to confirm whether he had just captured some people as prisoners.

If he sent someone else, Liu Tao was really worried that someone would deliberately hack him, but the one sent out was Huangfu Song, that would be another matter. This long-standing general, known as the "last famous general in the late Han Dynasty", could tell whether these prisoners were ordinary people at a glance.

Those who have killed people and snatched things have different eyes from those insensitive people.

"No problem, all the prisoners are thieves." About half an hour later, Huangfu Song came back to report.

"It's just very unreasonable..." Zhang Wen was still a little unacceptable, "Why did he defeat ten thousand people and only lost 200 war horses?"

"This subordinate asked a few prisoners a little." Huangfu Song knew that Zhang Wen had such doubts, so he prepared in advance. "It seems that he could not make a fire in rainy days. He encountered a surprise attack in the middle of the night. They were so dark that they didn't know who was a friendly army or an enemy army. So after paying for certain casualties, their first thought was to run quickly, and if they couldn't escape, they had to surrender."

It is also because of this that the cavalry cannot see the road and often bump into something while charging, so the horse breaks its legs.

The cavalry charges on rainy nights, and there is another point that these thieves are not actually the main force of the thieves. The main force is only 2,000, and the remaining 8,000 are the people who have joined the gang for a short time.

I must have done some bad things, such as breaking through several forts, then burning, killing, looting, etc., which is no longer pure.

"So that's it..." Zhang Wen felt a little better after knowing the result. His vision was unclear on the rainy night, and the thief was caught off guard. It is understandable that such a result was achieved.

Especially according to Huangfu Song, many of these thieves cannot see the way in the dark, and such situations often occur in the poor. Blindness of the eyes is a strange disease, but all the people at the bottom are likely to suffer from it.

"But why, the soldiers under Liu Tao have no such problem?" Zhang Wen still raised a question.

"For this problem...it seems to be because of this." Huangfu Song took out a small bottle. "My subordinate asked Liu Tao. He said that the liver powder in this bottle can treat blindfolds...but he was talking about 'night blindness'."

Zhang Wen took the bottle, opened it and looked at it. The dark red powder came close to smell it. There was a fishy smell from the liver. He hesitated for a moment, poured out some, licked it a little, the taste was acceptable, and it felt slightly greasy.

"This thing is not made by cooking the animal's liver and then drying and grinding it, right?" Zhang Wen looked at Huangfu Song.

"It's true. It seems that since the rebellion of Zhuo County, Liu Tao asked his subordinates to take this thing regularly." Huangfu Song nodded. In fact, he was a little excited at the moment. After all, many soldiers in the army are also troubled by the "night blindness".

At night, bonfires have to be set up everywhere to determine whether there are enemies around you. Even so, you can only see the illumination range of the bonfire, and you can't see it even further. In fact, it's not just the newly enlisted soldiers, but also many of the old soldiers.

From Liu Tao, I learned that the human body lacks some things, so it is affected. As long as it is supplemented, it can be cured. The liver of animals is the food that contains the most of this kind. In addition, carrots also contain a lot of this kind.

Carrots have been introduced at this time, but they have not been planted on a large scale. They have not improved themselves, so they are not much larger than fresh ginseng. The key is that they have a lot of fiber and taste less than winter bamboo shoots.

"Let me find a way to get a batch immediately..." Zhang Wen also realized this and quickly ordered.

"The problem is that the liver in Sanfu area has been acquired by Liu Tao." Huangfu Song replied helplessly, "There are few people who buy livers themselves, and the poor cannot afford them. If the butchers don't eat them themselves, they will give them to others at most... the stock is not large."

Fortunately, some livestock are slaughtered every day, and some liver can be obtained, but it is not realistic to make liver powder and large-scale investments into the army. It is better to find a way to get a batch of carrots.

"I will report to Your Majesty about this incident and see if I want to acquire it on a large scale." Zhang Wen thought for a while and said. In fact, he has been here for so long and has not made any achievements, so he is worried that the court will have any opinions.

It's good now. I've killed 10,000 thieves. This record is not very good, but it's not too bad.

The problem here was solved, and Zhang Wen was soon attracted by another matter, which was several pictures provided by Liu Tao, from Qi County, through Yinpan County or Quegu County, to Linjing County, and several pictures provided by him.

"These maps are..." Zhang Wen found Liu Tao and was a little excited.

The most important thing in war is the map and carriage, which is the information on the battlefield. However, what he can get is only the rough map and carriage of Anding County and the map and carriage of each county, but he can't get it.

"I'll be idle all these days, so I'll send someone out to investigate." Liu Tao said seriously, blushing and even red.

He sent people to investigate. In the past few days, he relied on the "Fenglong's Insight" to see all the surrounding situations, and then painted them wildly in the camp. This style has improved a lot.

"Okay, okay..." Zhang Wen was overjoyed, "Just because of these maps, General Liu is also a great contribution!"

He really liked these maps and drew out the rough mountains, rivers and terrain, which meant that the army not only had more convenient travel, but also could use the terrain to deal with the thieves.

Anyway, he absolutely did not believe that the thief could have the ability to draw such a picture.

"Where are somewhere, you can't be praised by the general like this." Liu Tao smiled. Of course, if it was really a credit, he wouldn't mind.

"Then..." Zhang Wen obviously did not intend to let Liu Tao go like this. "Since the map is ready, I don't know what General Liu thinks about this fight against the thief?"
