At this moment, Wang Xiu, who had been relatively silent just now, suddenly interjected and asked Liu An two questions: "This little brother, I want to ask you two questions." Didn't you just say that your son-in-law expected that Yang Pei would be either killed or returned to him by Lu Bu on his own initiative in the short term, why could he be so sure?

Also, as far as I know, whether it is Luoyang County or Wudu County, all of them are mountain cities, and among the counties, less than 20% of the land that can be used for cultivation is less, and you yourself said that Luoyang County is now short of grain and grass, so what is your son-in-law going to use to attack Hanzhong County next year? ”

Regarding the first question, the people in the chamber didn't care, but Liu An's words were too unbelievable, and Liu Bei and they only listened to it as a joke, but they didn't expect that Wang Xiu cared.

Thinking about it, Wang Xiu's current situation is actually very similar to that of Yang Pei, a little person he has never met.

And the second question, others have ignored.

To conquer a city, it is necessary not only to have generals, military divisions and enough soldiers, but more importantly, to have enough food. Hanzhong is famous for being easy to defend and difficult to attack the world, and Wang Xiu happens to know the general situation of Wudu County and Luoyang County, so he heard that Liu An was talking about Jin Jue's next plan just now, which was a very important flaw for Liu Beijun and even for the princes of the world.

Why is this flaw so important?

The key is food, if Jin Jue or Liu An advocated independently, and talked nonsense together, the real situation is that Jin Jue's army is more than self-defending, and has no ability to attack Hanzhong, so everyone will take it as a joke.

But what if Liu An's words are true?

That's unbelievable, because Wang Xiu heard that maybe the kid who was so highly valued and trusted by Liu Bei and others had found a way to solve the food shortage. Even if it is only temporary, it is enough for Liu Beijun to change the current situation.

"This gentleman, the first question you asked, the villain really doesn't know the answer, my son-in-law just said that, I listened to it, the specific reason, my son-in-law said it when he was mysterious, and he didn't tell anyone the reason. He just told everyone to wait for the results.

As for the second question, the villain is not too clear. However, after defeating Zhang Lu, my son-in-law immediately chose to send troops to Wudu County, and at that time, he ordered Liu Xiongming, the county commander, to plant alfalfa in the mountains and fields in Luoyang County, and to use all the money in the county treasury to buy pigs nearby. In the county, a lot of pigsty was built for raising pigs, which were better than people living and clean.

By the way, I don't know if Childe wants to eat meat and wants to go crazy. I also heard that before the army, Childe also ordered the hunters of the whole county to clear all the wild beasts in the mountains and forests of the county before winter, and to focus on catching wild boars. ”

"Pig farming? You said that your son-in-law raised pigs in the city, and he was also wanton. Xu Shu was slightly surprised when he heard this, and asked with some disbelief: "By the way, Liu An, let me ask you, how many people are in Luoyang County now." ”

"Naturally, it's pig farming. Liu Yuanjun, I'm telling you a secret! There is actually a eunuch beside Gongzi, whose name is also very strange, called Lu Huo, I heard that he was abducted from the Son of Heaven. The matter of raising pigs, Childe was fully entrusted to him. As soon as Liu An heard this, he broke another fierce news to Liu Bei and others, and said:

"As for the population, as far as the villain knows, the population of Luoyang County has now exceeded 100,000 people, and the specific number is not clear to the villain, however, eighty percent of them are Yellow Turban Army, that's it, Gongzi also drove away some old Yellow Turbans from Julu County before. Previously, the reason why Liangzhou Thorn Shi Ma Teng suddenly closed Wuguan was because these old yellow turbans who were driven away actually attacked and captured Longxian. ”

"Hahaha, Yide, it seems that kid is really in love with you!" Jian Yong smiled at Zhang Fei wittily.

"Humph!" When Zhang Fei heard this, he stared at the leopard's eyes even wider, snorted angrily, and said: "The old character used to kill pigs, but he is a pig farmer, why did he fall in love?" ”

When everyone heard this, they also laughed, and said in their hearts, not all the pigs you Zhang Fei killed were sold to you by pig farmers, otherwise, you are also a pig farmer.

However, at this time, there was one person who couldn't care about laughing.

Everyone listened to Wang Xiu's tone and asked in surprise: "What, more than 100,000 people?" A small county town in Luoyang County actually gathered so many people at once. Little brother, this winter is coming, and the weather in the mountains is probably going to get colder, how are your sons going to let everyone spend this winter? Didn't the fifth Wen Xiu and Wei Xiufu advise him on this matter? ”

When he was in Beihai State, Wang Xiu was a strong commander, daring to confront the lawless tycoons in those places, which shows that he is a person who cherishes the people very much. Therefore, as soon as he heard that there were so many people gathered in Luoyang County, even if most of them were Yellow Turban Army, if Jin Jue did not handle it properly, many people would freeze to death one by one.

You must know that in this era, it is very difficult for a county town to gather so many people in troubled times, let alone Luoyang County. Because it is a strategic location, the size of the city is naturally even smaller. Therefore, it was difficult for Wang Xiu to imagine how the other party, a half-sized man, had the courage to accommodate such a large population in a county town.

Jin Jue is young and can't think of this, but he can still understand this, but the Fifth Patrol and Wei Duan are both local celebrities and have also been magistrates, don't they know these either?

Liu An explained with a smile: "Hehehe, this gentleman, you are different about this point, my son-in-law pays more attention to this issue than anyone else." The county seat of Luoyang County is indeed very small, not to mention this Xiapi City, even the county seat of Kaiyang County that the villain saw before is only one-third of it, or even less.

After my son-in-law led the troops to conquer Wudu County, as soon as he returned, he immediately gathered the craftsmen, old and young women and children of the whole city, and the whole city began to dig kilns to burn red bricks and tiles. After the red bricks were fired, a new type of very low brick houses were built in all corners of the streets and alleys of the city. The top of such a house is only as high as a villain's nose.

Moreover, a new type of bed was built in each house, which my son-in-law named Huokang. At that time, because the villain was just a big soldier, he was also temporarily arrested by Liu Juncheng and built houses and kang for the people. Now in Luoyang County, with this kind of small brick house, if there is enough food, let alone 100,000 people, even if there are 500,000 people in the city, all of them will be able to spend this winter warmly. ”
