Chapter 306: It's a rare gathering of three brothers

(: Subtitle 'Lu Yan cried and fainted in the toilet')

Since the governor-general of the four counties is to be in charge of the defense, then the power is naturally greatly improved, and the number of people who can be deployed is also greatly increased.

Guan Yu guards Dingxiang County, what he is most afraid of is that he is still isolated and helpless, and he cannot get the support of the surrounding army, if this problem can be solved, then it is not difficult to defend the town.

"In addition, there are a thousand people on your side, it is useless to defend the city purely, this time Xianbei has proved that they actually do not regard the siege of the city as the first priority. So even if you leave a thousand soldiers in the city, it doesn't make sense. Liu Tao reminded.

"It's still a bit difficult to just let the pawns go out of the city and fight them." Guan Yu can only explain, and it is not the time when Liu Tao was under Liu Tao, all kinds of comfort, and even know in advance where the enemy is and where he goes.

"Set up beacon warnings in important places, and set up several checkpoints at the same time. Traps, pits, and fences are built one after another if they can. Liu Tao gave advice.

The Great Wall will certainly not be built, but the defense facilities can be built one after another, such as the walled city or something. Whether it is an early warning or the speed of blocking the enemy's advance, it has a certain effect.

In the follow-up, it is necessary to communicate with Guan Yu, for example, set up a camp, do a good job of defensive measures, and then garrison by a hundred or so cavalry......

Coupled with the early warning of the beacon tower, as well as the dispatch of large troops, a good use of it can produce countless tactics.

"Foolish brother is taught!" A similar conversation lasted until late at night, ending with Guan Yu suddenly enlightening and happily being taught.

"If you are short of food and armor, you can report it at any time, and I will give you priority to make up for it no matter what." Liu Tao said in a low voice, after all, this kind of thing can only be said by brothers in private.

Otherwise, in public, such a blatant partiality in favor of someone is estimated to cause dissatisfaction among other generals. It's not a big problem, just relying on the relationship to go through the back door, which will have some impact on the reputation of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and others.

People are so complicated, obviously Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's abilities are no worse than them, and they also rely on their own abilities to reach this height. But many people just like to maliciously spread rumors that the two came up by relationship.

"If necessary, naturally I won't be polite to my brother." Guan Yu said with a smile.

"Then ......" Liu Tao looked at Zhang Fei, who was about to fall asleep, "After the business is over, the next time, there is no nonsense, it is rare for our three brothers to get together and drink some wine?" ”

"Drinking? I'm going to! "Zhang Fei 'soared' to the ground, obviously his body subconsciously reacted to the 'wine'.

"Yide, you have to quit this alcohol addiction." Liu Tao complained that he drank when he was happy, drank when he was unhappy, drank when he was anxious, drank when he was festive, and drank as if he was integrated into Zhang Fei's genes.

"I haven't drunk it well for a few days...... Zhang Fei retorted, and he drank a little bit in private, and the amount was clearly controlled. Thanks to such a high degree of wine brewed by Jiuxian, if it is the kind of water wine before, if you don't drink a jar of five catties and ten catties, it is not enjoyable at all!

It's just that to some extent, distilled spirits actually consume more food.

"I won't talk about you tonight, I brought three jars of wine fairy brew over, let go and drink!" Liu Tao said with a smile, "Next year, some sorghum will be properly loaded, and it will be used to make wine, and the sorghum stalks can also be chopped up to make green storage feed, which is good for raising horses or livestock." ”

Compared with wheat or something, sure enough, sorghum is still used for liquor. Corn can also be used, and this year's corn is estimated to be only suitable for feeding livestock and winemaking...... If you can get it.

It takes time for species to improve and evolve, and perhaps in the Mayan civilization, the yield of corn that has been screened and tamed will be relatively high, but it is not much higher than that of wild corn, and the taste is not comparable.

Liu Tao still remembers the yellow corn he ate when he was a child, and that thing had to be ground to eat, and it was not good to break his teeth if he gritted his teeth directly. More than ten years later, when I grew up, the corn I ate at that time no longer had this kind of hard yellow corn, and some of it was also sweet corn.

"I know how to make wine from sorghum...... But this green fodder ...... Forget it, I'm not interested in listening to government affairs. Zhang Fei was a little curious at first, but after thinking about it, he didn't want to hear it anymore.

"It's a way to crush the forage, put it in the cellar and seal it, and wait until winter to take it out and feed the livestock. If you master this skill, you will be able to have enough fodder to feed cattle, sheep and horses even if the aquatic plants wither due to heavy snowfall in winter. Liu Tao explained briefly.

"If you have this, then even if you don't have a large-scale horse farm, it's no problem?" Guan Yu could quickly understand the benefits of this thing.

In the past, it was said that the establishment of a horse farm was not only to allow the horses to run, but also to have more forage for the horses to eat. If you use green fodder to meet the needs of horses and even other livestock, then there is no need to build such a large horse farm.

"That's true, and at the same time, we can also use the brewing industry as a specialty in the cloud, whether it is trading with Xianbei or transporting it to the Central Plains, we can make a profit." Liu Tao nodded.

"Brother is still brother, if you can think about it so thoughtfully, the two of us can't do anything." Guan Yu sighed, it doesn't matter if you fight the world, he and Zhang Fei can do it. can govern the world, it's too troublesome, and many doorways are heard for the first time.

"Drinking, drinking, it's not official time!" Zhang Fei hurriedly interrupted, he really didn't want to talk about official business.

Just these dried meat or something, the three of them drank like this. I haven't gotten together for a few months, so naturally I'm very happy. I had to talk to Guan Yu about the changes in Yunzhong County now.

"Third brother, that Lu Bu is very arrogant, that is, he looks down on people when he wins me in the horse war. When you have time, you fight with him and give him a dismount! Zhang Fei drank a jar of wine, and the whole person was already a little drunk. Take advantage of the half-drunk and not drunk, and express your dissatisfaction.

"That Lu Bu is brave, and his strength is indeed first-class. This person, like the fourth brother, is very suitable to be a pioneer. Liu Tao explained.

"My brother arranged for that Zhang Liao to come under my command before, and I also heard about Lu Bu from him. If I had the chance, I would like to meet him! Guan Yu said that he understood, after all, Zhang Liao admired Lu Bu more during this period, and he had to mention this person in his ear.

"Next time you take a break, come to the clouds!" Liu Tao didn't refuse when he heard this, "When the time comes, I'll arrange for you to have a fight, anyway, after winter, I want to come until the beginning of spring, Xianbei shouldn't come again." ”

Five thousand Xianbei disappeared quietly, whether it was the root of Budu or the Kebi Neng Department, before figuring out the reality in the clouds, they should not dare to attack on a large scale. I can't say it, I will take the initiative to contact him and win him over as an ally.

Not to mention anything else, trade relations must have been established, and Liu Tao originally planned to exchange high-grade wine for enough livestock and horses to the maximum.

In accordance with the principle of long-distance and close attack, it is most appropriate to make friends with Kebi and then deal with the root of the step together. But I haven't contacted the other party yet, and 5,000 people have called, and I don't know about this situation, and Kebineng himself knows it.

The regime of the steppe was relatively loose, and it was mainly a single family that managed each family. Sometimes some families will spontaneously fight the grass valley, and even the leader himself doesn't know, and even if he knows, he won't say anything, and it's customary.

It's just that if he can only attack from a distance, to be honest, he has a bit of a loss, and he can avoid it or try to avoid it.

"That's good!" Guan Yu was here, but after listening to Liu Tao's words, he nodded and replied, "Next time I take a break, I will go to Yunzhong County in person and meet Lu Bu!" ”
