"Ah......hh Finally, the plan of enriching the country and the people in Shu County and having enough food and soldiers has been done well, and you can rest for a few days. I'll leave the rest to Ziyu and the Zhen family to do it slowly, and I'll just take the rudder occasionally.

No, I've been tired for so long, I have to take a good bath today, soak for a quarter of an hour more, and then let the maid rub and knead to relieve fatigue. ”

With the bottlenecks and shortcomings of various hydraulic machinery and shuttle looms being broken through, and the follow-up industrial development plan has been roughly set the direction, Li Su feels that he can finally rest.

He has been working hard since February, busy inspecting and trial production everywhere, and now it is May, and he has worked hard for three months, and he has only taken less than a month of honeymoon vacation with Cai Yan before, which is too diligent

Now that the seeds have been sown, we can't rush at this time, we can't help the seedlings grow, just let them develop naturally.

Li Su flipped through the yellow calendar, it was the beginning of May, and he probably had a month to relax, and Guan Yu, who came to him for a vacation and enjoyment, also had almost a month off.

By the time of June, Li Su and Guan Yu would have to go to Yandao, Jiangyang and other areas on the border between Qianwei County and Zhuti County in the south. Guan Yu needed to go there to train his troops, and Li Su needed to prepare for the subsequent pacification of Nanzhong after the autumn harvest in August.

As mentioned earlier, because of the hot climate in Nanzhong, Liu Bei and Li Su planned to launch a "winter offensive" this year. But Li Su couldn't really go south until the moment before the troops were mobilized, and he, the generals, and the troops needed to adapt to the hot climate in advance.

Therefore, the safest way is to go to Yandao in June when it is the hottest, to go to Zhuti further south after it cools a little cooler in July, and then to lead troops into Jianning County, which is still not subject to Liu Bei's rule in August. In this way, the weather is always maintained at about 30 degrees every month for hundreds of miles to the south, so that the soldiers can easily adapt to the climate and minimize illness.

Moreover, Li Su did not really use force directly, and tried to divide as much as possible if he could win over diplomatically and divide and disintegrate. This diplomatic work also requires him to sit on the front line a month or two in advance to understand the situation and formulate strategies.

Li Su told Guan Yu about his itinerary, and Guan Yu said that there was no problem, so during this time, Guan Yu was ready to hang out in Chengdu, and occasionally after eating and drinking at home, he went to Li Suhou's Mansion in Pixian County to eat and pack some more, and Li Su didn't care about him.

In the first few days, Guan Yu came, and later Zhang Fei also came. Because this year will be implemented "the northern front Hanzhong garrison less, as far as possible to store the harvested grain?" Saving food for the Northern Expedition in a few years"? So Zhang Fei, the Taishou of Wudu, doesn't need to go to the poor countryside of Wudu County to take office, is he idle? It is also possible to participate in the southern expedition to Nanzhong.

Anyway, there are Xu Huang, Fa Zheng, and Yu Fuluo blocking Bao Chuan Road, Chen Cang Dasanguan and Tianshui Wudu Road respectively? The enemies of Guanzhong and Longyou will definitely not be able to get in.

Everyone knows that if you go to Nanzhong, you won't have good food and drink, and Li Su will definitely get richer and richer and become super rich in the future? Then rub it hard.

……

Li Su left his daily affairs to Zhuge Jin, and spent more than ten days as a flying eagle lackey. It's already halfway through May? Half a month of vacation left? Li Su had nothing to do, sorted out the to-do list, the daily work that could be supervised, and was ready to pick some interesting work to do it himself.

First of all, I finished Zhuge Jin's daily life, are they all boring drudgery? Li Su threw it aside? flipped through the notes of other subordinates, and finally when he turned to a Tuntian note from Guoyuan, Li Su found some interesting things, so he asked Guan Zhang to go out to play.

On this morning, did Guan Zhang and the others come to eat, drink and take a bath as usual? Li Su had already packed his bags and looked like he was ready to go camping.

As soon as Zhang Fei saw him dressed like this, he grabbed him: "Where is this going to be happy?" If we come late, you'll be run away! ”

Li Su had a straight face: "Who said I was going to be happy?" I'm going to adapt to the wild climate in the middle of summer, and do some adaptation preparations to go to Nanzhong? And this is also part of the supervision work of Tuntian? It is related to the harvest of the people of Shu County this winter. ”

Zhang Fei stared at him for a while? Can't see any flaws? He nudged it lightly: "Talk about people, what are you going to do." ”

Li Su: "Actually, it's just hunting, not alone, taking the pro-army team to train by the way." ”

Guan Yu, who had not spoken, stroked his beard and interjected coldly: ""Spring and Autumn" cloud 'Autumn Governing Soldiers to Victory', when the autumn beasts are fat, they should be large-scale training and hunting to talk about martial arts. It's the height of summer, isn't it too early? ”

Li Su smiled: "Yun Chang doesn't know, it is usually time to hunt in autumn, but in the past two years, we have tuntian in Jiameng and Shu County, Guoyuan summed up the experience, in the summer, a season in advance, large-scale troops to hunt wolves and foxes, which can make trapping rabbits in winter twice the result with half the effort."

Because we released a lot of rabbits in Qingcheng Mountain and Emei Mountain in the spring. Rabbit March is the generation, and the winter rabbit is already the grandchild of the summer rabbit. Therefore, if you kill a season of wolves and foxes in summer, there will be three or four times more rabbits in autumn, and more than ten times more in winter, and the autumn grass on the mountain will soon gnaw bald. In this way, we can take advantage of the heavy snow to close the mountains to force out the rabbits that have no grass to eat, and dry up to supplement the military rations and meat. ”

The precise removal of natural predators after two generations of reproduction cycles is common knowledge for anyone with a little knowledge of the biological food chain. And this level of hunting will not make the wolves extinct and will not destroy the ecological balance.

Guoyuan only learned it in Shuzhong Tuntian for two years. And this trick is not easy to use in the southern winter where the snow does not close the mountains and the grass and trees are evergreen in all seasons.

Even if it is around Shu County, it is not everywhere, only Qingcheng Mountain, Emei Mountain, which is a place with high altitude and heavy snow to cover the mountain, is good to release and breed free-range rabbits.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei heard that hunting and playing could also be used in the proper name of "assisting Tuntian" and "training soldiers for the southern expedition and letting the soldiers adapt to the climate", so of course they would not miss it.

"Boya, do you know how to shoot arrows? We'll take care of that. Zhang Fei directly led the horse and asked people to call for personal soldiers to practice.

Li Su was unceremonious about this: "If Zilong asks me so, it's okay, you may not be much better than me." Although I don't know martial arts, I still know a little bit of archery. ”

He was also an elite white-collar worker in his previous life, and he still played a few hands as a sport, but the bows he used were all aimed at and supported by arrows, and the bows of the Han Dynasty were too simple in comparison.

Zhang Fei laughed: "You can beat five wolves a day, and I will hunt a hundred rare birds and beasts of the Southern Barbarians to return you when I go south!" ”

A group of people didn't talk nonsense, so they brought some drinking water, fruits, and condiments, and didn't bring any other food, so they prepared to hunt wolves and barbecue to solve the problem.

Li Su also took care of a few words, there is no need to kill everything, focus on killing those canines that are the natural enemies of rabbits. Of course, if there is danger when you encounter a tiger and bear, there is no way, you must defend yourself. Anyway, the tiger really didn't need to be protected in ancient times, because the survivability was too strong, and there were still so many people fighting tigers in the Song Dynasty.

Li Su and others took 2,000 soldiers and horses, killed in Qingcheng Mountain, endured mosquito bites and hunted in the hot weather, drank cold water one skin after another, sweated a few times, and felt more comfortable.

Of course, Li Su himself didn't have to chase and kill the beast, and there were guards to curry favor with him, deliberately driving the beast in front of Li Su and letting him complete the task with Zhang Fei. At the end of the day, Li Su shot dozens of arrows, really killed three wolves, several foxes, and also shot and injured a wild boar and a bear, and then the soldiers were completely killed by mending knives and arrows.

"I'm okay with archery! I told you earlier, I just don't go to the battlefield, but the martial arts of strong health and self-cultivation are still not bad. At the end of work, Li Su shook the prey and showed Zhang Fei, "Although there are not five wolves, the addition of these other fierce beasts is far exceeded, remember to go to Nanzhong to make a bet." ”

Zhang Fei saw Li Su use force for the first time, and hurriedly didn't count: "The bear can top a few wolves, but you didn't kill it, just your light bow and soft arrow, you would have been shot to death by the bear without a guard." Or come back tomorrow! One more time I'll admit it!

Anyway, we have to let the soldiers adapt to the heat of the jungle in Nanzhong, and in the past few days, taking advantage of the hottest days, we will take turns to change 2,000 soldiers every day to hunt, and change the batch of people tomorrow! Big brother Ping Nanzhong, why do you have to prepare more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to go south, enough for us to hunt for five or six days before changing one round. ”

Li Su smiled, noncommittal, and should give Zhang Fei a chance. I came to play again the next day, and this time I really did Zhang Fei's bet again.

Li Su shot six wolves with his own hands while being fed by the sparring partner - although two of them were shot by Li Su after his protector Dian Wei wounded one leg with a halberd and lost his mobility.

But Zhang Fei said, "If you are shot and killed by someone else, it doesn't count", so Li Su will play "If someone else shoots and is injured, I will make up for the last arrow", this should be forgotten, right?

After the hunt, the brothers laughed and scolded and went back to the city, and Guan Yu also helped to coax Zhang Fei to lose a hundred rare birds and beasts to Li Su after he flew to Nanban.

The group rode their horses and walked, and there were still more than ten miles away from the Hou Mansion, when they suddenly saw an attendant from the Hou Mansion riding a horse to greet them, and reported: "The Emperor of the Mansion, the general of Zhengxi personally came to the mansion to pay a visit, saying that something happened in the north. ”

Hearing that Liu Bei came in person, Li Su and the others didn't care about going back to the Hou Mansion to take a bath first, so they just wiped their faces and immediately talked about business.

Before Li Su could speak, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei asked first: "Big brother, why are you so anxious, I still ask you to come in person, and if you have something to do, you can go back to Chengdu tomorrow." It's just that we are disgusted with the recent desertion of our safaris. ”

Liu Bei patted the two of them on the shoulder: "It's okay, you are going to go south, you should relax." Actually, it's not a big deal, I originally wanted to rub the food of Boya's family, so I rode around on horseback. Recently, Dong Thief has done something about it again, and wants to ask Boya how to deal with it. ”

When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei heard this, they couldn't help but be a little confused: "Dong thief still dares to send troops to attack Yizhou?" ”

Liu Bei waved his hand: "No, it's that Dong Thief, in the name of the imperial court, sent a few people to be named Yizhou Thorn History, Shu County Taishou, Ba County Taishou and the like, wanting to disgust us." Moreover, I heard that Dong Thief has suspected that Elk Zizhong is also one of our people, so he has just sealed a Liaodong Taishou recently, and wants to 'ride into the state alone' to take over our territory." ”

Zhang Fei seemed to have heard a joke: "As a national thief, he dares to send Taishou to replace Dong Yishi?" Riding solo into the state? It's too whimsical, wouldn't it be nice to kill it with one sword. ”

Liu Bei shook his head: "Some of them are still celebrities, and they are killed directly with one sword, even if there is no loss of our territory strength, Dong Thief also hopes that we will bear the name of 'harming the virtuous'." Or how else would it be to splash dirty water and disgust us. ”

Li Su nodded slightly. He knew this kind of thing, Dong Zhuo and Li Dao Guo Yan did not do much in history, although most of the effects were not good, but there were still disgusting local warlords.

Li Su asked, "I don't know who they are?" ”

Before Liu Bei could answer, Li Su was speculating in his heart: Could it be the inertia of history that made Xu Jing, who was originally with Cai Yong and named "Bajun Taishou", be assigned again? But who will the other positions be?

Li Su couldn't remember the history for a while, so he waited for Liu Bei to announce the answer.
