Chapter 8: Fighting for Life

If you want to capture Zezhou, the lack of troops is the biggest problem facing the dynasty now. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Shi Shouxin pondered for a while and said, "Your Majesty, can you order General Pan to lead the army to support?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head slightly and said: "General Pan is now sitting in Shouzhou, and his troops are only 30,000. Lingzhou has 20,000 troops, guarding against the White Lotus Sect while shouldering the responsibility of the military power Houshu, and Zhenzhou has 25,000 troops, and they want to prevent the Liao army's long drive straight in.

The rest of the army was far away and could not quench its thirst.

Then there are those wolf ambitions, in this case, it is good not to rob while the fire is fired, and expect them to contribute.

Hmph, if they can come, can we use it? ”

Today's Great Song Dynasty has just been established, and the army that Zhao Kuangyin can command and mobilize is quite limited, and more soldiers and horses are under the control of all parties to listen to the propaganda and not listen to the tune. Appearance and detachment is the status quo in the early Song Dynasty, and there is even a festival like Li Yun who directly carried the banner of rebellion.

Zhao Kuangyin, who was sitting in the big tent, pondered for a long time, and then slowly spoke: "Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, in more than 50 years, the change of dynasties has been like a fleeting cloud, as long as more than ten years, and as short as three or five years. Now that the Great Song Dynasty was first established, if we want to change this status quo, we must go through unimaginable tribulations, and if the Great Song Dynasty wants to live for thousands of years, we need our indomitable courage and determination.

Today, the deputy commander of the Ma Bu Army is to make Shi Shouxin, lead the army in front of the city of Zezhou, and from noon tomorrow, capture Zezhou at all costs. ”

"No." Shi Shouxin clasped his fists and saluted.

.........

Zhao Laoer, who was personally conscripted, had already planned to storm Zezhou City regardless of sacrifice. And Wen in Guanlou Village is leisurely checking the vegetables in the greenhouse at the moment.

In view of the fact that the first planting contains some experimental nature, in addition to the people's heart, the first wave of vegetables and vegetables are planted with some varieties with short growth cycles and fast maturity.

Pineapple, a vegetable introduced from Persia during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, is now very popular in folk cultivation, and it only takes more than 60 days to fully mature.

Leeks are a prolific vegetable, which can be cut and grown, and it is also absolutely indispensable.

Cucumbers and loofahs, which are easy to survive and bear fruits, are also the main force of this planting.

Chinese cabbage is the Chinese cabbage of later generations, but at this time it can only be called small Chinese cabbage, a Chinese cabbage of later generations can weigh more than ten catties, and it is good that the Chinese cabbage can weigh three catties at this time, and I don't know what the reason is, anyway, it just doesn't grow big.

Because of the non-cooperation of the villagers of Guanlou Village, there are only three greenhouses built.

The output of vegetables and vegetables has been severely limited, and these vegetables in the greenhouse are now growing very well, which can fully meet the self-production and self-consumption of the people in the palace. But Wen also hoped that these vegetables could open the market in Jingshi Kaifeng, so this first batch of vegetables could not be eaten, and could only be used in exchange for money.

"San Lang, these vegetables will basically mature in another twenty days, which is three months earlier than the normal harvest period in the field." Shi has been taking care of the vegetables in these three greenhouses, and he is still very shocked to see the vegetables grow day by day in violation of agricultural time and routine.

Wen nodded and said: "Yes, but now is the most critical time, I told you to use a brush for pollination, don't forget, remember that every flower must be brushed, otherwise it will affect the yield." The temperature in the greenhouse should also be kept good, don't forget to add firewood at any time, when the weather is good, the thick linen on the roof must be removed, and the vegetables must see the sun to grow well, don't be too troublesome, you must do it in place. ”

Wen checked while carefully admonishing that this work stone is the most suitable to do, and he will admit death in doing things, but everything he hears will definitely be in place.

"San Lang, I made a note of it." Stone nodded.

"After the last fight with King Wei, I haven't seen Brother Jiao Huang again, where did he go?" Wen asked casually while checking the growth of vegetables.

Shi said hesitantly: "Brother Jiao said that you are a giant and bloodstained, and you should have been killed to avenge the tragic death of the people in the green forest, but Nian was acquainted, so he left first, saying that he would definitely take you next time we met....... Dog life. ”

Hearing what this stone said, he choked angrily and coughed violently, and snorted: "The tragic death of the green forest people? If those bastards hadn't tried to trade my head for money, would they have died early and been exalted? This is my fault, this damn Jiao Huang, it's really a tendon, no wonder the Mo family is in decline, can the wronged people who don't distinguish between good and bad be big? ”

"Wenjue, why are you so angry?" A suave voice came from the door of the shed.

Wen looked back suspiciously, and saw Miao Xun standing there with a smile, Wen hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Mr. Miao hasn't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?" ”

Miao Xun also immediately returned the salute and said: "Thank you Wen Jue for your concern, Miao and Wen Jue are also old friends, recently Miao plans to travel the world, and I have come to say goodbye to Wen Jue." ”

Wen was surprised and said: "Mr. Miao, now that you have been personally appointed by His Majesty as the military advisor to protect the country, why did you have the idea of traveling to the country when you were doing your best for the country?" The dynasty is now struggling, and there are a lot of problems, how can I be separated from Mr. Sakumi. ”

Miao Xun smiled and said: "Don't hide it, although Miao claims to be traveling, he is actually shouldering the emperor's order, and this time he went south to Yangzhou, he has important things to do." It's just that this time the good luck and bad fortune are unpredictable, so I came to say goodbye. ”

Wen frowned and said, "Li Chongjin? ”

Miao Xun's face was different, fleeting, and replied: "Wen Jue is really unique. ”

"Mr. Miao is overrated. That Li Chongjin's mind is capricious and extremely difficult to measure, and this mission may not be easy to complete. Wen shook his head slightly.

Miao Xun smiled slightly bitterly: "The dynasty is now using troops in Zezhou, and the army in the vicinity of the Beijing division has been exhausted, if the two sides start a war, it will be unfavorable to the dynasty, Miao only hopes that this time can go smoothly, and it is useless to think about it." ”

"Mr. Miao, a piece of the heart of the country, you can show the sun and the moon, take care." Wen hugged his fist and said solemnly.

Standing at the entrance of Guanlou Village, looking at Miao Xun who was drifting away, I heard that for the first time, I had a little respect for the characters of this era. Miao Xun, a guy who can be as famous as Zhuge Kongming and Xu Maogong in later generations, is now going to Jiangdong and fighting Confucianism.

No matter what kind of character he is, he needs to fight for his life in this era, and if he wants to persuade Li Chongjin, who is a fierce and inward-looking guy, to stop the army, is undoubtedly conspiring with the tiger, and Miao Xun will inevitably be more auspicious if he goes this time.

As the descendant disciple of Chen Tuan's ancestor, he must have extraordinary ability in measuring people's hearts, Miao Xun came to meet Wen in a hurry this time, just for that glimmer of life, as for whether Wen can understand it, it depends on the will of heaven.
