Chapter 238 236. April, wheat harvest (please subscribe for a monthly ticket)

Zhang Fei welcomed Liu Bei and his party to the camp, and saw Cai Mao, who had his nostrils turned upward but was now smiling. He was a little confused for a while.

Could it be that Commander Xu’s strategy worked so quickly?

"Brother, Cao's soldiers retreated as soon as the military advisor predicted." Zhang Fei reported to Liu Bei, "It's just that there are not many people left in Ye County and Kunyang."

They went to Xuchang to pick up the people, and countless people from nearby Ye County followed them.

Liu Bei nodded and looked at Cai Hao, "I wonder what General Cai thinks?"

Cai Mao smiled and replied, "General Zuo will make the decision in everything."

Next to him, Zhang Fei was surprised again. This guy... didn't have this kind of attitude before!

When Liu Bei saw this, he also smiled and said, "Cao's army has captured the people of Jingzhou and marched north several times. This time, we should also send troops to Xuchang, not only to welcome back the emperor, but also to lead the people."

Cai Hao nodded.

"The closer this place is to Xuchang, the less worried Cao Cao will be when we wait for the troops to be stationed here." Liu Bei continued, "After this battle, we plan to build checkpoints and camps here as the defense line to the north of Jingzhou, and station our troops there.

."

Cai Mao thought for a while and continued to nod, "If so, if General Zuo needs it, he can write to Xiangyang and I will deal with it for General Zuo."

"Thank you, General Cai." Liu Bei thanked him sincerely.

Although he was also curious about Cai Mao's change in attitude, of course he had to continue when the other party gave him a smile, and... he also had to move more with the other party.

Behind Liu Bei, Xu Shu looked at the situation and narrowed his eyes slightly. Someone was helping his lord solve the hidden danger in Jingzhou. So... is the other party the same as them?

"General Zuo, you don't have to be like this." Facing Liu Bei's attitude, Cai Mao felt relieved.

He had not experienced this feeling with Liu Biao for a long time.

"Brother, Military Advisor Cai, Military Advisor..." Zhang Fei said carelessly, "Let's discuss first when to send troops?"

"Haha, exactly!"

"It should be so!"

As a result, the atmosphere among the few people became more and more harmonious.

…

Time has also passed by and entered April.

Yuzhang.

Liu Qi was overjoyed when he saw the tall and mighty general in front of him and the neatly lined up soldiers behind him, "Qi, I've met General Guan!"

"Prefect Liu, there is no need to be polite." Guan Yu suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he saw such a young man who admired him.

This man is, after all, the eldest son of his immediate boss.

"General Guan is polite. General Zuo is worthy of my father and brother. General Guan is also sworn sworn brother to General Zuo, so he is Qi's elder." Liu Qi continued, "However, the war situation is fierce this time, so I forgive Qi for not being able to fulfill his friendship as a landlord.

Already."

"Young Master Qi, you don't have to be like this." Guan Yu smiled, "After receiving the letter asking for help, I gathered my troops and came here without stopping all the way."

The normal march from Changsha County to Yuzhang County took at least half a month, but it took Guan Yusheng ten days to arrive, just because there was a sentence in the letter asking for help: Jiangdong sent troops from one state to overthrow Yuzhang County.

"Thank you for your hard work, General." Liu Qi was moved, and then explained the current situation, "General Gan has been at the front line for more than ten days. There are many soldiers in Jiangdong, and he launched an attack from three routes, namely the North Road Pengze and the Liling area.

The area around Yushan on the east road and the area around Guangchang on the south road... our defenses are slightly inadequate, and now Pengze has fallen."

Guan Yu was surprised.

The strength of Jiangdong's army is much larger than that of Yuzhang's army. Now Yuzhang has only captured one county?

This was something he didn't expect.

According to his expectation, Jiangdong's army on Yuzhang's side... should be overwhelming. After all, Yuzhang borders a large area with Jiangdong, and there is no danger to defend it. If Jiangdong wants to launch an attack, it can be done anytime and anywhere.

This Gan Xingba... is quite a character!

"I wonder, which route is the main force of Jiangdong Army?" Guan Yu asked.

"It's the North Road, led by Zhou Yu! It's only a hundred miles away from Chai Sang!" Liu Qi replied.

Behind Guan Yu, Zhuge Jin touched his beard. Obviously... Jiang Dong wanted to capture Chaisang more than Yuzhang.

"In this case, I will lead my troops to support you. We only need to repel the enemy's main force!" Guan Yu made a judgment immediately.

"Thank you, General! As soon as the luggage is received, Qi will prepare everything for the General!"

"Then thank you Master Qi." Guan Yu did not refuse, and then led his troops to rest for a day, replenished supplies, and then headed north.

…

Xiangyang.

Huang Yueying looked at the wheat ears that were gradually turning golden, and she felt at ease.

There is no big news about the battle situation between the north and the east, but I think the current advantage of the north lies with Jingzhou, so the situation will not be too bad. On the other hand, there will definitely be a bloody battle between Gan Ning and Huo Jun on the Jiangdong side.

of.

In the past two days, the academy learned that they would send people to Wancheng to serve as officials north of Duyang, and the discussions among the students became lively again.

Xiang Chong, who originally intended to go to Jiangxia and Chaisang, hesitated and found Huang Yueying who was looking at wheat outside the city.

"Brother Jubo thinks that he can make achievements more quickly in Ye County?" Huang Yueying probably came to his senses after hearing what Xiang Chong meant and asked.

"Yes." Xiang Chong nodded, "Although there are many opportunities on the eastern defense line,...Yexian County is only two days away from Xuchang."

Huang Yueying sighed slightly, yes, it is so close to Xuchang. As a scholar, he wants to go there to develop in order to make better achievements in the future.

It cannot be said that Xiang Chong's choice was wrong, but Huang Yueying did not expect that Xiang Chong, who would become an official under Liu Bei almost ten years later, would meet Liu Bei at this time.

"A Chu respects his brother's choice." In this regard, Huang Yueying did not interfere.

"So what Ah Chu means is that this is feasible?" Xiang Chongxiao asked.

"My brother should know that Cao Cao is a man of great talent, with countless advisers under his command, and his soldiers are extremely effective in combat," Huang Yueying said. "If my brother goes north, there will be no natural dangers to defend, and the danger he will face is that of Jiangxia.

Several times."

"Yes." Xiang Chong nodded. He knew this very well. But the more dangerous it is, the higher the benefits may be.

"In this case, Achu has nothing to say."

"Thank you Achu." Xiang Chong said with a smile, "Now, Chong's strategy needs to... change its direction."

Huang Yueying smiled naturally, "Ah Chu, I'm just waiting for my brother's advice."

"Okay." Xiang Chong nodded, then said goodbye and left.

Huang Yueying was helpless. She estimated that Xiang Chong was just here to stand up... There were many people in the academy waiting for news about him.

After this incident, many students will go north. With Liu Bei's charisma... I estimate that none of them will run away. It's probably God's will.

The wheat in front of us will be harvested in a few days.

Five or six days later.

Liu Biao and the officials of Jingzhou looked at the yellow wheat ears outside the city, the plump and bent wheat stalks, and smelled the full fragrance of wheat in the air. Their eyes were full of joy.

In recent days, there have been a lot more noodles in Xiangyang City.

Whether they like it or not, if crops can be produced in two seasons this year, it will definitely be a great achievement. Moreover... a lot of this food has gone into their pockets, so how could they not like it?

"My lord, this wheat...is worth harvesting." Kuai Yue stood beside Liu Biao, bending down and holding his hands in his hands, with joy in his tone.

"Okay! Collect the wheat!"

"Collect the wheat!"

"Collect the wheat!"

The sound spread to the distance one by one, and the people who had been preparing in the fields bent down and started working.

Even Jingzhou officials, large and small, under the leadership of Diannong captain Yang Shuo, held sickles in hand and began to experience wheat harvesting.

Huang Yueying actually didn't want to experience it, but her current identity is that of a young teacher... Well, she had no choice but to follow Liu Biao and cut the wheat.

Huang Yueying roughly estimated that the yield per mu of the mu in front of her would not be less than four stones. By then, coupled with the rice harvest this year, at least the people near Xiangyang... would not be hungry.

"The ears of wheat are full and the harvest is good. I never thought that wheat can be grown not only in the north, but also in Jingzhou." Someone sighed, "There are two crops a year. If we had discovered it earlier, there might have been more crops."

Few people can live."

"Yes, but now...it's not too late. This is something that will benefit future generations."

"That's right. It happens to be early to mid-April now. Even if we just start sowing rice now, even though it's too early, we can still harvest a lot of grain." Another person said.

"Start sowing now?" Someone wondered for a moment, "I once saw a lot of paddy fields filled with densely packed rice seedlings."

"Why?"
