Liu Bi's face was full of sorrow. "Sun Lang is reasonable, we are also worried about this, and we have asked General Sun for help many times. However, General Sun was at war with Liu Biao and could not be separated. Sun Lang is here, if you can say a few kind words for us, please General Sun send a big man to help as soon as possible, we are grateful. ”

Sun Ce smiled. You know that there is no good banquet, and you must have a small abacus. Since you know the dangers, I'll save a lot of trouble.

"My father fought against Liu Biao, in fact, for the sake of you."

Liu Pi was slightly stunned. "Why did Sun Lang say that?"

Zhou Yu's heart moved, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but provoke a light smile, and he glanced at Sun Ce meaningfully. Cut off the luck psychology of the Yellow Turbans and force them to cooperate deeply with Sun Jian, Sun Jian can at least add a few thousand elite soldiers, maybe tens of thousands. With the full assistance of these Yellow Turban Army, Sun Jian's chances of capturing Jingzhou increased by a few points. Sun Ce said that it was Sun Jian who fought for the Yellow Turban Army, but in fact, he wanted to lure the Yellow Turban Army to fight for Sun Jian. I wanted to take the lead and swing vertically and horizontally, but I didn't expect Sun Ce to have the eloquence of the vertical and horizontal family, and this is ingenious and quite in line with the way of using soldiers.

"As I just said, the Central Plains is a land of a hundred battles, and those who are not strong cannot live. At that time, the great sages and good teachers raised their arms, and the eight states responded, Jingzhou and Yuzhou were also among them, and the Yellow Turban Army was huge, and in the end it was still not exempt from defeat. Why? Because the Central Plains is where the Beijing division is located, the Son of Heaven has to fight. For example, although today's son moved west to Chang'an, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao plotted against each other and wanted to occupy the Central Plains and dominate the world. In the past, there were great sages and good teachers, and the Yellow Turban Army had millions of people, but they could not win, but now that the great sages and good teachers have died, and the Yellow Turban Army is divided, how can they win? ”

Liu Pi and Gong Du's faces became ugly, and they didn't speak for a long time. Liu Bi stared at Sun Ce and looked at it, leaned forward slightly, and arched his hand: "Please also ask Sun Lang for guidance, where should I go to have a chance of life?" ”

Sun Ce raised his wine glass, signaled, and drank it all, with a dry spirit. This wine is so light, like water.

"I have a plan to save millions of yellow turbans, I don't know if the two generals are willing to listen."

"Please also ask Sun Lang for advice."

"As I said just now, my father's crusade against Liu Biao is not only for his own sake, but also to win a way for you to live. The Central Plains is about to become a land of deer, and if you want to survive, you must stay away, and the farther away the better. ”

The more Liu Bi listened, the more confused he became. "Sun Lang means ......"

"Go to Jingzhou, go to Jiangnan." Sun Ce put away his smile and his eyes were blazing. "Going to the south of the Yangtze River to open up wasteland and farming, although it is a little hard, at least you can survive. Persist for ten years and eight years, I dare not say more, worry-free food and clothing can be guaranteed. ”

Liu Bi and Gong were all stunned and nodded again and again. Zhou Yu was taken aback, and couldn't help but think of the question that Sun Ce hadn't answered to him so far. He vaguely realized that Sun Ce's statement that he wanted to dominate the world was not a joke, he probably really had this plan, and recruiting yellow scarves might be part of it, otherwise he didn't need to break Sun Jian's existing plan. If this is the case, then what he said about retreating to Danyang is really a safe strategy, and it is understandable that Sun Ce can't look at it.

This made him feel a sense of urgency and an indescribable excitement at the same time as he was lost.

Zhou Yu cheered up, listened to Sun Ce's every word, and figured out his intentions.

Sun Ce looked at Liu Bi and Gong Du's expressions, and saw that although they nodded again and again, they did not express their will, knowing that they still had doubts, he added another fire. "Two generals, have you ever felt that the winter is colder than before in the past few years?"

Liu Pi was puzzled, and he didn't know why Sun Ce suddenly talked about this issue. Gong Du took over the conversation. "Sun Lang is right, it has been cold in the past few years, so when it comes to autumn, we are worried. If there is not enough food and clothing, people will freeze to death every winter. If Sun Lang can say a few kind words in front of the general and allocate some grain and grass materials to us, we are grateful. ”

"I'll be sure to bring the words." Sun Ce waved his hand. "Food and clothing are actually trivial, at least not something that can't be solved, the weather is getting colder, and it's more related to food production, I don't know if you two are paying attention?"

Liu Pi and Gong both looked at each other, they really didn't notice this problem. Zhou Yu on the side suddenly moved in his heart and immediately took over the conversation. "Bo Fu, do you mean that the cold weather will cause a bad harvest?"

"Haha, I forgot, the Zhou family has a hundred acres of good land, and it should have a clearer impact on this. Gong Jin, how has your family's harvest been in the past few years? ”

Zhou Yu thought for a moment. "My brother is in charge of these things, and I don't pay much attention to them. However, I have heard my brother say several times over the years, and it seems that the yield per mu has declined, although the magnitude is not too large, but it has always been so. In the past, it was only the tenants who didn't contribute, why, it had something to do with the weather? ”

"Of course, farming is originally God's appreciation, and cold and warm are no exception. Separated by a river, the south can only be harvested twice or even three times a year, but the north can only be harvested once, which is caused by the difference in cold and warm. The temperature in the south of the Yangtze River is relatively good, and the water sources are abundant, so as long as we are willing to work hard and do a good job in water conservancy and flood prevention, food and clothing will not be a problem. The Yellow Turban was originally a farmer, and fighting war is not what you are good at, but farming is your business. Instead of fighting with others in the Central Plains, why not avoid it and cultivate for self-sufficiency? ”

Liu Pi and Gong were very wary of the Sun family's father and son, and entertained Sun Ce, just wanting to get benefits from Sun Jian, and asking Sun Ce was just polite, and they were even more worried about being used. But after listening to Sun Ce's words, they suddenly realized that what Sun Ce said was not unreasonable, at least it was worth considering. If you can stay away from the battlefield, cultivate for yourself, and have more than enough food and clothing, why work hard here for others?

The line of defense in their hearts was loosened, and Liu Gong's tone became a little more affectionate, and they humbly asked Sun Ce for advice. Sun Ce was not polite and gave a general explanation of the situation in Jiangnan.

In general, Jiangnan in the late Han Dynasty had made great progress. In the Western Han Dynasty, Changsha was still a humble and wet country, and being an official in Changsha was equivalent to being degraded, and Jia Yi even lamented to himself because of this, but now Changsha is the land of fish and rice, and the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River. But there are not many such examples, and most places in Jiangnan have not been fully developed, and there is much to be done. Most of the Yellow Turban Army came from landless peasants, and it was best for them to go to Jiangnan to explore. I don't dare to hope that there will be a situation in the Ming and Qing dynasties where "the lake is wide and ripe, and the world is full", at least it can be compared with the Wei and Jin dynasties. The Eastern Jin Dynasty was able to support half of the country for so many years, not by developing the south of the Yangtze River.

As a traverser, the biggest advantage is the general trend of historical development, and if you don't take advantage of it, you're sorry for yourself. If you can fool millions of yellow turbans to the south of the Yangtze River to open up wasteland, and have a population and food, even if you divide the river and rule, it will be much more awesome than Sun Wu in history.

Of course, if you want to firmly grasp this benefit in your own hands, Sun Jian's Changsha Taishou can't let go - it has been in business for so long, it's a pity to give up - it's best to take the whole of Jingzhou. Liu Biao, I'm sorry, Jingzhou, I want it, where are you going to stay cool.
