Chen Jiping pulled Chen Dalang aside and took advantage of the situation to cut down an enemy soldier who rushed up.

"San Lang doesn't have to worry about me, after the city is broken for a while, you, your second uncle, and Bo Qin will find a way to escape!"

"The city can't be broken, come here with your ears!"

After listening to what he said, Chen Dalang said, "Is this okay?" ”

"Sure, remember, it's an idea you came up with!"

Chen Dalang had long been convinced of his brother, said hello to Li Jing, immediately went down the city wall, called some logistics soldiers, and asked them to transport the earthen wall and mud that had just been torn down to the city.

"Guard Chen, what are you doing here?" Zhao Cijing, who was leading a team of people to demolish houses, asked.

"Naturally, it is for the purpose of defending the city, please General Zhao to mix the demolished earthen walls into mud!"

Zhao Cijing can be a general, and his IQ is naturally not low, "You mean to put the mud under the city to block the enemy's offensive?" ”

"Exactly!"

"Good way, the mud of the earthen wall is very sticky, and it is easy to use, if it can work, it should be a great achievement!"

Chen Jichang was slightly embarrassed, but when he thought of his brother's instructions, he didn't explain.

A large number of thin mud fell down the city wall, stepped into it, fell into half a calf, and could not pull it out for a long time.

Li Shimin, who had restored the Qingming Dynasty, couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw baskets of mud falling down the city wall, and then saw a large number of Western Qin soldiers struggling in the mud, "Who came up with such a clever plan?" ”

"Your Highness, it's Guards' methods!"

"Oh, could it be Ji Chang's idea?" Zhao Cijing saw that the silt array worked, and he was happy to ask for credit for Chen Dalang.

"Exactly!"

"Haha, I have to be Ji Chang, if I have Han Xinye!"

Chen Dalang hadn't read many books, but Han Xin still knew who he was, and his hands were like lotus leaves, "Your Highness has won the award, I can't compare with the Marquis of Huaiyin!" ”

"Deserved, deserved!"

……

The silt array made Western Qin's plan to break the city fall short, and they also tried to build a wooden bridge, but the silt in the city was inexhaustible, and after heavy losses, they had to temporarily retreat.

Fufeng City can't be defended no matter what, this has long been a consensus, so Li Shimin immediately led his troops to withdraw, and Li Jing and Chen Dalang led a thousand elite cavalry to break off.

Finally when it was time to part, Chen Jiping couldn't help but say a few more words, "Big brother, don't be reckless in the future, discuss with Brother Li more!" ”

"I save it, Ah Weng is old, mother don't let her work too hard, the family will be handed over to you!"

Li Jing listened to the brothers say goodbye, and couldn't help but say, "San Lang, why don't you resign to His Royal Highness?" ”

"If he keeps me, won't rejecting him be tantamount to offending him, so it's better to leave!"

"What you said also has some truth, Ji Chang here, you can relax, with me Li Jing here, I will never let him be wronged!"

"I'm tired, can Brother Li have a letter to hand over?"

Li Jing hurriedly wrote a letter, "Please San Lang must hand it over to the eldest brother!" ”

"No problem, farewell!"

Chen Jiping turned over and got on his horse, fought with Chen Yuanli and Liu Boqin, and made a gesture at a gallop of 100 steps.

Chen Dalang couldn't help but raise his hand and gestured, this is exactly what it is: this place is a farewell, a lonely expedition; Wave your hand and go, Xiao Xiao Ban Ma Ming!

A few days later, the three knights came to Qingshi Town, it was Chen Jiping and his party.

"Second uncle, brother-in-law, let's buy something for the family and buy some bars!" I was going to buy it in Fufu County, but I didn't know that I didn't buy anything because of the war.

"Just Yi Saburo!"

The things to buy are nothing more than some food and daily necessities, and the main thing is to buy wine.

"Boss Ma, it's just afternoon, why is the door closed?"

The owner of the liquor shop has long been familiar with Chen Sanlang, a big customer, "Xiaolangjun, I am not going to close the business, but to close the door completely, and the liquor shop will not be opened!" ”

Chen Jiping was stunned for a moment, "Why do you want to close the door, isn't your business very good?" ”

Boss Ma sighed, with a sad expression, "Xiao Langjun doesn't know, now the grain is expensive, not to mention, you can't buy it, how can you make wine without food?" ”

"Didn't you get better a few days ago?"

"In the past few days, it has rained heavily, and the summer grain will inevitably fail, and who will sell the excess grain? What's more, the government is also collecting grain, and this year is destined to be a bad time! ”

Hearing these words, all three of them felt that the situation was serious.

"Boss Ma still has wine in stock, I am willing to buy it at a high price!"

"There are still some that Xiao Langjun is willing to ask for, and it will be at the original price!"

"Thank you, if Boss Ma wants to transfer the winery, I can take it down!"

Boss Ma showed a look of embarrassment, in the final analysis, he was not willing to give up the winery.

Chen Jiping saw his thoughts, "That's it, if you are willing to sell it one day, you can go to Changshou Village to find me!" ”

"Okay!"

The things were all purchased, and he went home with fifty catties of wine.

On the way, I passed by Liujiazhai, so I naturally wanted to visit the "prospective in-laws".

When Liu's mother saw her son coming back, she finally put her mind at ease and warmly entertained Chen Yuanli and Chen Jiping.

Liu Changbao, the patriarch of the Liu family, rushed over when he heard the news, and after being polite, "Xiao Langjun, this sorghum is not resistant to water, you are better in the mountains, the terrain is high, and there is no disaster for us, but we are seriously waterlogged outside the mountain, and the summer grain harvest is not good, how can we live?" ”

"Don't see the elderly, or call me San Lang, there is no food to grow at this time, I see that the ponds are full all over the country, you can plant some lotus roots, raise more ducks and geese, and the poultry raised last year must have a lot of harvest, right?" Chen Jiping wanted to recommend planting corn, but unfortunately Li Mu Shenjun hadn't found it yet.

"That's right, but in addition to cooking, is there any other way to eat this lotus root?" The old man thought of beans and fish, and his eyes lit up.

Chen Jiping smiled slightly, "When the time comes, I will definitely let the elders try it!" ”

The guests and hosts were happy, and the uncle and nephew declined the guests and returned to Changshou Village.

The newly built mountain road is much easier to walk, and the heavy rain of the previous few days has not made it more muddy.

The situation in the mountains is also fine, but there are many lodging of sorghum, and the failure of the harvest is a foregone conclusion.

Chen Laohan was still weeding in the field, and when he saw that the two of them were no longer working, they went home together.

Chen Erya and Chen Liu also hurried out when they heard the movement, and began to ask without waiting to sit down.

The uncle and nephew naturally picked it up and said that they had a reunion dinner in the evening, but there was one less person, and the atmosphere was not happy.

On the third day of returning home, there was another heavy rain, which directly poured the people near Liangzhou into the heart.

Food on the market is already extremely expensive, and even so, it is still in short supply.

The bearded guest came, and Chen Jiping handed over Li Jing's letter, "Brother Zhang, you might get food?" I'm afraid this year's summer grain is enough! ”

"It's very difficult, Liangzhou is also short of grain, but the grain purchased by merchants in the Western Regions has been robbed by Xue Ju, and Li Liang is about to send troops to attack Qinzhou!"

"It seems that Xue Ju is also very short of food, otherwise he would not have risked the risk of erecting enemies on both sides to grab food!" Chen Jiping felt that this was very useful information, but unfortunately he couldn't inform Chen Dalang.

"Since ancient times, all troubled times are accompanied by natural disasters and man-made disasters, the most bitter is the people, if you can solve the livelihood, it will be a great merit, if there is a day, a certain sitting in the world, will let the people have no worries about food and clothing!"

"Since Brother Zhang has this intention, why waste time here in Li Rail, it's better to plan one or two now!"

The bearded guest smiled bitterly, "How can something happen if there is no land, no horses, and no money and food?" ”
