Tang Xiao was actually a lazy person. He used to have General Huo take care of him, so he didn't have to think about many things himself.
After thanking Zi Long, Tang Xiao handed over the military affairs to Luo Yi and went back to his room alone.
He wasn't a god, nor was he the kind that was so intelligent that it was almost demonic. The reason why he was stronger than others was probably because of his persistence.
When he was practicing boxing, if he didn't do a standard move, he would keep doing it until he did it properly.
He could no longer remember how much blood and sweat he had shed.
However, he had never given up. In fact, the word 'give up' had never appeared in his heart.
In the past, he had a backer and did not think much about it. Now, it was time for him to think about it himself.
He casually found a piece of paper and wrote down his advantages.
They were not short of money now, all thanks to Shen Wansan, who was a money-making man.
Tang Xiao knew that persistence was worthless. There were many people in the world who were stronger and more persistent than him.
His only advantage was the information from his previous life. In his previous life, there was an era of information explosion. When he was free, he had read many transmigration novels.
Alcohol, salt, cement, windmills, curved plows, glass, soap, if one thought about it carefully, one could still come up with a general idea.
But Tang Xiao wasn't careless at all. Perhaps salt was the most practical thing to do.
There were crude salt pans in the north of the desert, but in this era, coarse salt was still the main ingredient. If fine salt could be extracted, it would be very important to exchange fine salt for food.
Of course, these were just future plans. Tang Xiao was just recording them for future use.
The most important thing now was the Turks. As long as they could hold out until November, the Turks would definitely retreat.
The temperature in October was already extremely low in the north of the desert. With the Turkic's warm equipment, it would be very difficult for them to last until the end of October.
It was late at night. Tang Xiao came back to the military tent. Lin Chong was on duty on the city wall, leaving Zi Long, Luo Yi, and Chai Jin (Water Margins) to discuss tomorrow's battle.
The two of them greeted Tang Xiao and reported on the battle today.
Today, the casualties were not heavy. More than 400 people died in battle, 300 people lost their ability to fight and were seriously injured, and 700 people were lightly injured.
It was estimated that the Turks had lost at least three thousand men.
Although it looked pretty good, Zi Long and Luo Yi were also frowning.
This was not an easy battle!
The main problem was the lack of resources. Although Cao De had left behind a lot, there was nothing left.
Luo Yi looked at Tang Xiao and said
"With the current rate of consumption, the resources we have accumulated are enough. However, I'm worried that the war will become more and more intense in the future, and we won't have enough arrows!”
Tang Xiao nodded. It was a fact that could not be undone. He had ordered someone to call for Second Brother Wu.
Second Brother Wu was in charge of the security of the entire Sixteen Cities of the Northern Desert. His responsibility was heavy, and he couldn't rest well even at night.
After a while, Second Brother Wu came to the military tent.
"Tang Shuai!"
"Second Brother Wu, can the young and strong men in the city lend a hand and move stones from the distant mountain?”
There was a limit to the number of rolling wood and stones, and the lethality of these was also very shocking.
Wu Er was very proud and said with a smile,
"Tang Shuai, you didn't notice these past few days that the young and strong men of the Sixteen Cities of the Northern Desert have already started moving. They've already started logging up the mountains and moving stones. You don't have to worry about this. There's enough Rolling Stones and Wood.”
The commoners were the best. They knew the consequences of the Turkic invasion, and the human heart was made of flesh.
Except for some people who were born stupid, most people knew how to repay kindness. Besides, Tang Xiao came from his previous life. Although there was no absolute fairness in his previous life, it was still relatively fair.
This solved many problems. With enough resources, he would dare to fight the Turks to the end!
"What about the other supplies?"
In fact, Tang Xiao had a rough idea of the other supplies, but the more detailed he needed, the better.
Chai Jin had already memorized these numbers in his heart and didn't even need to flip through the records,
"We have enough clothes, armor, and weapons.”
The vegetables that the Tang Army was eating were produced locally. Although they were not much, they were enough.
"The brown rice is only enough for two months, and there is basically no meat. This is the most troublesome!”
Two months. Now, he could only place his hopes on Shen Wansan. The commoners did have food reserves in their homes, but they could not use them unless it was absolutely necessary.
However, if that day really came, they would need to implement a rationing system.
Tang Xiao thought for a moment and said to Second Brother Wu,
"Second Brother, inform General Yang and ask a portion of the new brothers to go hunting in the mountains and fish in the water. The soldiers don't eat meat and can't carry on!”
Wu Er nodded.
It was fine if they ate a little worse on normal days, but they were fighting every day. They could not go without meat.
There was a river in the north of the desert, but the people here didn't pay much attention to fishing. They only fished a little.
It wasn't because of any custom, but because he felt disgusted. War had been going on in Mobei these years, and it was impossible to find out how many people had died in the water.
It was not surprising to see some corpses and bones when washing clothes by the river.
There was no time to think so much now. It was already good enough that there was food.
