Chapter 397: Growing Vegetables

Zhou Yu scolded: Zhang Shimin, damn the puppet, I swear to kill you!

Zijing, why didn't you report this news earlier! If I had known that Liu Biao had so many cavalry, I would have been prepared!

Ay! Su also just received the news that these war horses given by Zhang Jie are all experienced old horses, and they don't need to be trained at all, they can be used when they are used. Wenpin got the war horse and came to Jiangxia directly, so our meticulous work was a little slower.

Zhou Yudao: What should I do now? We only have 20,000 soldiers, stay in Jiangxia, and we can't defend it, and we can't withdraw it. The battle was fought like this, and Ling Cao and Xu Kun were also folded, how can I explain to Wu Hou?

Lu Su said: Withdraw, take Huang Zu's head and give it to Wu Hou, Wu Hou will not blame. Now, Cai Mao, Wen Ping, seeing that we have been defeated, will definitely suppress Jiangxia, so our troops are seriously insufficient. If you don't retreat, staying in Jiangxia can only be a waste of money and food. so that the whole army was destroyed.

Zhou Yu said: Why don't you ask Wu Hou to increase the troops!

Lu Sudao: Now Jiangdong only has nearly 50,000 troops, and he still has to guard against Hefei, Huainan, Shanyue and other places, and Wu Hou can't draw many troops. Twenty or thirty thousand people at most. But judging from the current situation, with more than 20,000 or 30,000 horses, it is difficult to defeat Cai Mao Wenpin. At most, a confrontation is formed. But Liu Biao will definitely transfer more troops and horses to Jiangxia, and if it goes on like this, it will be a war of attrition at most.

But we can't afford it!

Rather than wasting troops here, it is better to withdraw simply and wait for the next day.

Zhou Yu said: But we still have a lot of soldiers who let Liu Biao take prisoner. What to do?

Lu Su said: We have also captured a lot of Liu Biao, we can exchange prisoners with him! Su personally went to the Wenpin military camp and talked to Wenpin. Wen Ping is Liu Biao's confidant, and I think he will be willing. After all, it won't do them any good to fight to the death. Don't forget, Liu Biao also has a strong opponent Zhang Jie!

All right! When you go to the other party's tent, be careful. Zhou Yu said.

Wen Ping saw Lu Su come to negotiate peace and met with Lu Su.

In fact, it is very simple, everyone knows that fighting hard will only cheapen Zhang Jie, and Lu Su's sincere words made Wen Ping very convinced.

Jiangdong's attack on Huang Zu was revenge for killing his father, and now Huang Zu is dead, and the previous things are written off. We're going to withdraw our troops, Jiangxia will give it back to you, and exchange prisoners. If you fight to the death, you can only cheap Zhang Jie.

Wen Ping said on the spot that he was willing, but he still had to ask Liu Biao for instructions. And Cai Mao wanted to object, but there was no good reason for it for a while. Soon after, Liu Biao's letter agreed. Of course Liu Biao will not fight to the death with Sun Quan, he is now thinking about how to deal with Zhang Jie! And Huang Zu didn't listen to Liu Biao for a long time, and it's better to die now.

And Zhang Jie is in Luoyang, doing nothing all day long, and feels very bored. On a whim, he took Dian Wei to find a piece of land on the edge of the palace and set up a vegetable greenhouse. In ancient times, there were few vegetables in winter. A little lotus root, radish, Chinese cabbage, basically no vegetables.

Zhang Jie wants to build a vegetable greenhouse. Plant some out-of-season vegetables later. The reason why I want to be on the edge of the palace is that I want to live in the palace in the future. The palace will definitely be expanded. At that time, this vegetable plot will be in the palace.

There is no plastic film. Replace it with a straw mat. Zhang Jie was very happy.

Tian Feng came to report that the lord, Sun Quan and Liu Biao had already negotiated peace in Jiangxia. And exchange prisoners.

Zhang Jie said while working: It's nothing. Sun Quan is pragmatic. What can I do if I can't fight and don't talk about it? Liu Biao was afraid that Jie would go south, so he also wanted to preserve his strength. The two of them have a mistress, and the agreement is complete. It's nothing!

Look at it! If Jay goes south, they'll form an alliance. For them, any murder of their father and enemy is just an excuse. Interests are the real thing. Let's just watch. There is a way to deal with them. Don't care too much about Jie having to recuperate for a year or two. When there is enough food and grass. A battle would have destroyed him.

Cao Cao, Liu Zhang should be about to fight! They won't sit down and talk until they don't fight. Fight a dozen, and the people are almost dead, and when they find that they can't eat each other, they will also think of union. Hehe, this is called Zhengye. The noblest, but also the most disgusting. It's also called compromise.

Yuan Hao, I've thought about it carefully. Liu Bei, Cao Cao, may eventually move towards union. Just like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. Because they all have dangerous passages. Calling back and forth, in the end, it was found that in addition to wasting troops. No one can help the other. It can only be cheaper for me Zhang Jie. In this case, it is possible to form an alliance against us.

Tian Fengdao: There is such a possibility. We'd better break it down.

Yuan Hao, don't worry! Ma Teng Han Sui is not far from death. Guanzhong, Liangzhou is already in my bag. Hehe, don't hide it from Yuan Hao, a few days ago, I came up with a clever plan to wipe out all the main forces of Ma Teng. It's just going to take some time. Let's let Ma Teng recover the small warlords of Xiliang first! Save us from dealing with it.

Since the lord has a plan, then let's not bother the lord to grow vegetables Yaxing. Feng took his leave.

Zhang Jie was building a wall, and he was thinking about building a vegetable greenhouse to grow some vegetables, but he could only make a tooth sacrifice, and he didn't know if he could do it. If only you could plant some, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, peppers. How nice that would be! Especially potatoes, sweet potatoes. If these two things are available, the national food problem can basically be solved. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were only more than 400 million people, and the role of sweet potatoes was definitely the first credit. Damn, it's just that the sweet potatoes are still on a hill in South America! There may also be indigenous people who are planting. But where to look!

Across the Pacific Ocean! Do you send someone across the Pacific Ocean to find seeds? It's a bit of a trick! Think of Christopher Columbus' first transatlantic journey to the American continent. There are only three hundred-ton boats and more than eighty people. And the waves in the Atlantic Ocean are much higher than in the Pacific Ocean. Columbus can do it, our Chinese nation is their ancestors, there is no reason why it can't!

You must try it in your lifetime. Potatoes, sweet potatoes, as long as you find one, it's a big deal. It is not a problem to exceed 100 million people in 100 years.

I'll have to think about it when I go back.

Jingzhou, Liu Biao saw that Liu Zhang was not moving, and when he calmed down, he felt how ridiculous it was to let Liu Zhang send troops to fight Zhang Jie at that time. His 5,000 cavalry defeated Zhou Yu to the ground. If he faced Zhang Jie, would his own soldiers also make Zhang Jie defeat the army.

In Bashu, Cao Cao Guo Jia didn't know how powerful Zhuge Liang was, and sent 60,000 troops to attack Bashu, of which 20,000 attacked Yinping Xiaodao, wanting to smash Huanglong.

It's a pity that Xia Houyuan is happy to enter the two, and it took more than half a month and a lot of hard work. Hundreds of people died, and finally arrived at Motianling, and Xu Yuanzhi, who was killed by heaven, had been waiting here for a long time.

The ghost place of Motianling, let alone fighting, you have to climb even walking. The Yizhou soldiers saw that Cao Cao's people really came to attack Jiangyou. They all laughed.

Xu Yuanzhi also smiled: Kong Ming really guessed right, I didn't expect this Senior Brother Guo to really play this hand! 21
