Tai Shi Ci saw the miserable appearance of Zang Ba and the three of them who were tired of coping, and couldn't help laughing in his heart, I will tell you, this is the Tai Chi method I learned from the lord, I used him in my marksmanship, and created the Tai Chi marksmanship, of course, there is also Zhao Yun who realized the Tai Chi marksmanship with Tai Shi Ci. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

While fighting with these three people, Tai Shici said to Zang Ba with a smile: "You are Zang Xuangao, a native of Taishan, right?" Qing Ben is a good general, why can't he follow Zhang Feiyan and join our Central Army? ”

Zang Ba was very tired of coping, but he also snorted coldly: "Tai Shici, haven't you heard the truth that wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat and dogs travel thousands of miles to eat?" I, Zang Ba, am a wild wolf in the mountains, and I don't disdain to be other people's lackeys! ”

Tai Shi Ci sneered: "With you, at most, you can be a general, and if you want to be the master, you can't make the decision, people must be self-aware!" ”

Originally, Zang Ba's martial arts were not much lower than Tai Shi Ci, but with the cooperation of Wu Dun and Yin Li, two pig-like teammates, and under the shroud of Tai Shi Ci's Tai Chi marksmanship, Zang Ba became more and more cowardly, but he couldn't escape in front of so many Yellow Turban soldiers, which would be too embarrassing to be a handsome man.

The more Zang Ba refused to admit defeat, the more he lost, and after more than 100 rounds of fighting, Tai Shici's silver spear hit Zang Ba's wrist, Zang Ba's arm was in severe pain, the big knife came out of his hand, and Zang Ba's big knife flew towards Wu Dun and Yin Li.

Wu Dun and Yin Li hurriedly dodged, but Tai Shici took the opportunity to shoot Wu Dun and Yin Li off the horse, because these two were the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai and Zang Ba's sworn brothers, so Tai Shici let them live.

Tai Shi Cijia didn't want Zang Ba's life, but just stabbed them so that they couldn't shoot again.

Tai Shi Ci swung his silver spear, rode his horse and began to fight, fighting in the Yellow Turban Army formation, with the Yellow Turban Army on the left and right, so the few archers of the Yellow Turban Army could not shoot arrows.

Zang Ba, Wu Dun and Yin Li were all supported by dozens of Yellow Turban soldiers, hiding to the side to watch Tai Shi Ci's might, Tai Shi Ci clashed left and right in the Yellow Turban Army, as if entering a no-man's land, Zang Ba and the three of them were cold, they were afraid that Tai Shi Ci would come over and assassinate the three of them.

Yin Li frowned and said, "It's easy to break out of the encirclement with his skills, so why fight with us here?!" ”

When Zang Ba heard this, his body was shocked. His face turned pale, and he said hoarsely after a while: "What a powerful character! What a strategy! ”

Wu Dun and Yin Li looked at Zang Ba very puzzled, and Zang Ba shouted: "Let's withdraw the troops!" ”

Wu Dun and Yin Li frowned. Hurriedly asked, "Xuangao, why did you say this?" ”

Zang Ba was so anxious that his face turned pale and said, "Why is Tai Shici fighting us here?!" This person has just come to spy on our military situation with five people, compared to the Qingzhou Corps, which is not far from us, and we are now entangled here by him. If the forbidden army comes in an instant......"

Zang Ba didn't continue, Wu Dun and Yin Li fully understood what he meant, Yu Ban is a Taishan person, and they are also Taishan people who know the ban very well, this person's ability to lead troops and command ability are all famous generals, if the 60,000 Qingzhou Corps is killed immediately, their 100,000 yellow turbans will inevitably be wiped out.

Don't wait for Zang Ba to give an order. The sound of killing in the northeast shook the sky, and as Zang Ba expected, Yu Ban led 60,000 Qingzhou soldiers to kill him.

Zang Ba looked at the approaching army of Yu Ban in the distance, and said in a panic: "Look at this momentum, Yu Ban must be pouring out, 60,000 troops!" For the sake of today's plan, we must quickly withdraw from Qingzhou. Retreat to our roots, Mount Tai. As long as there is Tai Shi Ci in Qingzhou for one day, our army will not be able to raise troops lightly! ”

Although Zang Ba is very capable of commanding troops, the Yellow Turban soldiers below him are a rabble composed of many poles, except for more than 10,000 people under him, who are considered elite, the other Yellow Turban soldiers are simply not able to withstand the Qingzhou soldiers who have been trained for a long time. Defeat with one blow.

Zang Ba didn't have time to withdraw at all, but was caught up by the fast marching Yu Ban's army, and Guan Hai took the lead and rushed to Zang Ba.

Zang Ba scolded bitterly: "Guan Hai, you traitor, betray our Yellow Turban brothers, pursue your own glory and wealth, be Jin Liang's lackey, I Zang Ba will take your dog's life!" ”

Guan Hai sneered: "Zang Ba, Zang Xuangao, you open your dog eyes wide, look at our Qingzhou soldiers, they are all our past Yellow Turban brothers, how is their current spirit, no better than following you guys who only know how to nest in Mount Tai and be bandits!" Those who know the times are Junjie, you don't even know the least knowledge, and you dare to speak out! ”

The two of them didn't speculate, they both had murderous intentions, and each picked up a big knife and killed in one place.

The result can be imagined, although Zang Ba has courage, he is not of the same magnitude as Guan Hai.

Guan Hai, who was killed by Guan Yu in history, was the first master of the Yellow Turban, Guan Yu was in a hurry, and there were not many people who could block Guan Yu in the first ten rounds of the Three Kingdoms, but Guan Hai blocked Guan Yu's dozens of moves.

Even if Zang Ba was not injured, he couldn't beat Guan Hai, not to mention that he was injured in the wrist now, and he would be in danger after twenty rounds.

At the critical moment when Guan Hai wanted to kill Zang Ba with a knife, Tai Shici rushed to the horse and said: "General Guan, the lord has confessed, leaving this person's life!" ”

Although Guan Hai was the nominal commander of the Qingzhou Corps, he didn't dare to offend Tai Shici, so he hurriedly turned his horse away and left Zang Ba to Tai Shici.

Zang Ba naturally did not want to succumb to Tai Shici, gritted his teeth, and continued to fight against Tai Shici.

However, in ten moves, Tai Shici swept Zang Ba off the horse with one shot and captured Zang Ba alive.

After Zang Ba was captured, the Yellow Turban Army was leaderless, and its morale collapsed, and under the shouts of the 60,000 Qingzhou soldiers under the command of the ban, they surrendered one after another.

Yu Ban discussed with Tai Shici and Guan Hai, and decided to continue to pursue the victory and sweep Taishan County away.

The territory of Taishan County is a big mountain, full of large and small bandits, after clearing the remnants of the Yellow Turban such as Chang Xuan, the forbidden army will be entangled here, not moving, because countless bandits need to be cleared, and when entering the mountains to suppress, the bandits play guerrilla tactics, so that the Qingzhou Corps is exhausted.

Yu Ban had no choice but to report to Jin Liang and ask him to decide.

At this time, the Yellow Turbans were rampant in Yanzhou, and there were many small Yellow Turban remnants who crossed Dongjun to harass Wei County, Jin Liang was not very annoyed, so he wanted to find a powerful person to sit in Dongjun, clear those Yellow Turbans, and make a good barrier for Jizhou.

I don't know if Jin Liang has been with his wife and children for a long time at this time, and he has enjoyed the joy of family a lot, his brain was confused for a while, and he actually made such a decision, the yellow scarves in Pingyuan County have been swept away, and Cao Cao, the Taishou of Pingyuan County, made a great contribution when sweeping the Yellow Turbans, and asked him to go to Dongjun to be a Taishou, Dongjun turned out to be richer than Pingyuan County, and Cao Cao's visit to Dongjun to be a Taishou is a kind of promotion, of course, what Jin Liang thinks of now is to use Cao Cao, Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and others to guard the south gate of Jizhou for himself.

At this time, Jin Liang forgot that Cao Cao in history was the Taishou of Dongjun, in the territory of Yanzhou, because of the ability to clean up the Yellow Turban, he himself was a big family in Yanzhou Chenliu County, and he was inextricably linked with many families in Chenliu County, so he was able to get the recommendation of the local family in Yanzhou after Liu Dai was killed in the original Yanzhou Assassin History, and he was appointed as the Yanzhou Assassin and began his career in hegemony.

Jin Liang's move can be regarded as putting a brick and stone on his fateful enemy, such a Lei Feng, Jin Liang did it unconsciously, in the final analysis, Jin Liang can't remember Cao Cao's history of hegemony now, he relaxed his vigilance against Cao Cao because of the recent smooth sailing.

Cao Cao did the Taishou of Dongjun, and Jin Liang did not make Liu Bei the Taishou of the Plains, because now that the Plains were too peaceful, Liu Bei was no longer needed to be there, so he asked Liu Bei to be the Taishou of Taishan County, and asked him to go with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to crusade against the bandits, and Yu Ban led the Qingzhou Corps to continue the crusade against the remnants of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou.

said that it was a crusade against the Yellow Turban, but in fact, it was to pave the way for Jin Liang to get Qingzhou, once the Yellow Turban in Beihai was swept away, Kong Rong would also come to be a waiter in the Ministry of Rites.

Jin Liang is not worried about Shuozhou and Qingzhou now, but he is worried about one thing, he knows that the reason why Xianbei in the west was able to retreat so far and retreat to the Mobei grassland is because this winter is not cold, so far there has only been one snow, and it will be very sunny after it, and the cattle and sheep of those Xianbei tribes can survive the winter safely, and this winter is a warm winter for the nomads.

Jin Liang had a sad face, and it was not a good thing for the farming people to not be cold in winter, because there will be a big locust plague next year.

Thinking of this, Jin Liang shuddered, he knew very well that both the people of the Han Dynasty and the central army were very dependent on grain, and if the grain production was greatly reduced because of the locust transit, it would greatly affect his strategic advancement.

It now seems inevitable that next year's locust plague will be inevitable. Because locusts are a kind of insects that like warm and dry, the weather is dry, the water level drops, the soil becomes more solid, the water content is reduced, and the ground vegetation is sparse, the number of locusts laying eggs has increased greatly, and it can reach 4000~5000 egg masses per square meter of soil, and there are 50~80 eggs in each egg mass, that is, 200,000~400,000 eggs per square meter. At the same time, in drought years, the water surface of rivers and lakes shrinks, and the low-lying land is exposed, which also provides locusts with more suitable places to lay eggs. On the other hand, plants grown in arid environments have a lower water content, and locusts feed on them, grow more, and have higher fertility. On the contrary, the rainy and humid environment has many adverse effects on the reproduction of locusts, the high water content of the plants that locusts feed on will delay the growth of locusts and reduce their fertility, the rainy and humid environment will also make locusts endemic diseases, and rain and snow can also directly kill locust eggs. In addition, the increase in natural predators such as frogs will also increase the mortality rate of locusts.

Since the rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants, there has been no rain in the whole north, sowing grain and wheat are all irrigated by the water from the river, and the lack of rain and snow water provides a good breeding environment for the locusts, once the number of locusts is dense, it will cause locust plagues, and then it is locusts that cover the sky and the sun, devouring crops and seedlings, and everywhere they go, not a single inch of grass grows, and it is precisely because the locust plague destroys grain production so much, so it is listed together with floods and droughts, which are the three major disasters that affect agriculture.

Jin Liang vaguely remembered that there was a large locust plague in the late Eastern Han Dynasty in history, and from the first year of Xingping to the second year of Jian'an, a large locust plague broke out in the Central Plains, which was one of the important reasons for the large number of deaths. The locust plague has caused a reduction in grain production and a widespread tragedy of cannibalism, and grain is so expensive that hundreds of thousands of dollars per grain and wheat are worth hundreds of thousands. In serious cases, there is no food to buy even if there is more money.

Jin Liang sent someone to invite Han Hao, the general of Diannong, to discuss how to prevent locust infestation.

Han Hao has been favored by Jin Liang for more than a year, and he is really capable, under his management, the Tuntian Corps is booming, whether it is grain planting, animal husbandry, or minerals, it has developed rapidly, and it has become a strong support for Jin Liang to dominate the world, although other princes are following Jin Liang's example to do Tuntian, it is obvious that they have fallen behind a lot.

The Tuntian Corps has developed too rapidly in this year or so, and there are already more than 2 million people, so some people suggested that Jin Liang divide the Tuntian Corps according to the prefecture, and Jin Liang divided the Tuntian Corps into the Jizhou Construction Corps, the Bingzhou Construction Corps, and the Shuozhou Construction Corps.

Although these corps are all under the command of General Han Hao, after all, the generals of these state construction corps have the power to report directly to Jin Liang, Han Hao's power has been weakened a lot, and if he is a narrow-minded person, he will definitely be dissatisfied with Jin Liang.

Han Hao was very open-minded, he thought that he was just a Hanoi county official who was not reused before he met the lord, after meeting Jin Liang, he was promoted to the general of Diannong in more than a year, and his power was even greater than that of the general state assassin history, although the grace of such a meeting was broken, it was also beneficial to himself to be divided into powers, if the power in his hand reached the point of high merit and shocking the lord, it would be difficult for him to get along with the lord in the future, and the wise Han Hao very readily accepted the plan of dividing the Tuntian Corps by state.

Han Hao has a deeper understanding of Jin Liang in this year or so, once Jin Liang trusts someone. In front of that person, he was informal, unruly, Han Hao could completely see from Jin Liang's attitude towards himself. The lord trusted himself, because Jin Liang had just taught Jin Lingqi, Zhuge Liang, Lu Xun, Lu Meng, Wu Ban, Fu Hu and others martial arts in the Boy Scout Command behind the General's Mansion at that time, and he was sweating profusely. Without changing his clothes or doing any retouching, he took Han Hao into the meeting hall in the military affairs courtyard of the former residence of the general's mansion with a big grin.

Jin Liang handed Han Hao a piece of paper, the above is the statistics of last year's rain, the rain in twelve months of the whole year is not enough to catch up with the rain in Luoyang for three months the year before last, it can almost be said that it is a year-round drought, the people in the areas under the rule of the Xiangyang court are taking river water and well water for irrigation, and there are many serious drought areas that rely on digging ditches to build water conservancy and barely plant crops. It is barely able to supply domestic water.

Although the drought is like this, there is nothing to be afraid of, because the vegetation and water areas of the Eastern Han Dynasty are far better than those of later generations, and the drought at this time will not last for many years like the end of the Ming Dynasty, so Han Hao is not worried.

He caught a glimpse of a large pile of dirt in the council chamber, which was very dry and cracked, and asked, "My lord." Are you worried about the lack of rain that will affect this year's crops? ”

Jin Liang shook his head solemnly and said: "In the past year, we have built many ditches, and the irrigation is effective, although the crops are not as good as last year, they will not reduce the yield too much. My only concern is. There may be a locust plague this year! ”

Han Hao was shocked, and said suspiciously: "Lord, it's only February, can you deduce that there is a locust plague this year?" ”

Jin Liang picked up a piece of soil and handed it to Han Hao: "Yuan Hei, you see, the soil in Hebei is so dry, it is the most suitable for locusts to reproduce, as the saying goes, locusts will grow after a long drought, this is a painful lesson, this year's locust plague is inevitable." ”

Han Hao looked ashamed, this was originally something he had to know as a pawn farmer general, but it made the lord bother, Jin Liang's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, which made him wake up instantly, he knew that the drought had continued since this autumn, there was no autumn rain, there was only one winter snow, and the locust eggs all over the fields and the soil on the riverbank were buried there unharmed, and it would break out in three or four months, and then the wheat everywhere would become food in the mouths of the locusts.

Han Hao vaguely remembered that many years ago, the land of Jizhou was dry and rainless, the fields were dry and cracked, and swarms of flying locusts appeared everywhere. When the locust swarm flew by, a large area of black pressure, even the sun was obscured, where the locust swarm fell, where the crops were gnawed to the bottom, the people were ignorant at that time, the locusts were worshiped as gods, did not dare to kill the locusts and insect eggs, only prayed for it to leave their crops, or threw the locusts into other people's fields, causing the insect infestation to become more and more intense, the people had no harvest, the local officials at that time did not care whether the people lived or died, they still levied violently, starved all over the land, and the people were not able to make a living, so Zhang Jiao raised the banner of the yellow scarf in Jizhou, It has a lot to do with the locust plague.

Seeing Han Hao's expression, Jin Liang knew that he believed his words, so he happily asked, "Yuan Hei, do you have any good plan to destroy locusts?" ”

Han Hao thought for a while, and then said: "The first is to eliminate the ignorance of the people, those small people who ascend to the fight think that the locusts that come from all over the world are locust gods, and the locust plague is a catastrophe from the sky, and the people are powerless, they don't dare to kill the locusts, they just kneel on the ground and pray for the locusts to leave their fields, this idea is very wrong, so it caused the great locust plague a few years ago."

Now that the locust plague has not yet broken out, we have time to educate the people and make them realize that locusts are just ordinary insects, which can be killed, and that as long as we work together to destroy locusts, even if they are harmful, they will not cause thousands of miles of red land. ”

Jin Liang nodded and smiled: "Yuanhei, what you said is good.

The former miracle doctor Bian Que once said that his eldest brother treated the disease before the onset of the disease, and the patient himself did not feel sick at that time, but the eldest brother took medicine to eradicate the root of the disease, making his medical skills difficult to be recognized, so he was not famous, but was respected in Bian Que's family. Bian Que's second brother treated the disease at the beginning of the disease, the symptoms were not very obvious, and the patient did not feel pain, and the second brother was able to cure the disease, so that the villagers thought that the second brother was only very good at curing minor diseases. Bian Que's treatment was done when the patient's condition was very serious, the patient was in great pain, and the patient's family was anxious. At this time, they saw Bian Que piercing the meridians, bleeding with a needle, or applying poison to the affected area to fight the poison, or performing major surgery to point directly at the lesion, so that the condition of the seriously ill patient could be alleviated or cured quickly, so Bian Que heard about it all over the world.

Afterwards control is not as good as control in the matter, control in the event is not as good as control in advance, but unfortunately most people have failed to realize this, and wait until the matter is serious to the point of a mess to seek to make up, make up for it well, of course, it is famous, but more often it is to make up for it, it is too late. ”

Han Hao said with a smile: "What the lord said is very true, we must take precautions, take precautions, and dare to take all measures to deal with the outbreak of the locust plague before it breaks out." According to the experience of our subordinates over the years, since locusts prefer dry soil, we should build more water conservancy and irrigate more, so as to ensure that although the weather is dry, the fields are not dry. Since the locust eggs are hidden in the soil, we reclaim a large number of barren lands and plant them, turn out the locust eggs, and kill them in advance. At the same time, we can plant trees and change the weather in locust infested areas, reduce the suitable sites for locust eggs to lay and reproduce, and we can also further intensively cultivate and dig deep into the fields to reduce locust eggs, which will definitely reduce locust plagues to a large extent. ”

Jin Liang stroked his palms and smiled: "Yuan Hei, these measures of yours are very good, you will formulate these measures into articles, and the Ministry of Household Affairs will issue a document, asking the local governments to actively publicize them, so that the people everywhere can actively start to eliminate locust eggs from now on." ”

Jin Liang asked again: "Yuanhei, eliminating locust eggs in this way is not enough to kill all locust eggs, and there will still be a large number of locusts breeding and harming crops, how are you going to kill these locusts?" ”

Han Hao thought for a moment and replied: "The sentence 'Bingxi Fire' in the Book of Songs refers to the use of fire to trap locusts at night to destroy them. In this dynasty, the people had the Han Dynasty locust extermination ditch method, first digging ditches on the ground and roadside, and then everyone lined up, holding branches, sticks and other things, waving and shouting, driving the locusts into the deep ditch of the ground, and then burying them with soil. ”

Jin Liang shook his head lightly and said: "Yuan Hei, using this ditch method to bury locusts also buries hidden dangers, this locust life is very tough, even if the knife chopping and axe may not kill it, it was originally drilled out of the soil, and burying it in the soil can not damage its life, burying it in the soil, it will not be long before it will harm the crops again." ”

Han Hao exclaimed: "Lord, what should we do then?" ”

Jin Liang thought for a moment and said with a smile: "You can bury while burning, combine the practice in the Book of Poetry with the ditch method, light a fire next to the dug ditch at night, and the locusts will fly into the fire and be burned to death when they see the light, and then sweep into the ditch to bury." Locusts like to be dry, they die when they enter the water, they can also throw the locusts they catch into the water and drown, if they are locusts, it is best in the morning, there is dew on the locust's wings in the morning, and the jumping and flying are poor, so it is easier to catch. ”

When Han Hao heard Jin Liang say this, he smiled happily and couldn't stop nodding, he wanted to find pen and ink to write these down, Jin Liang waved his hand and pointed to the secretary behind him, Ling Lucui, who had already quickly memorized all of Jin Liang's words.

Jin Liang lived in the countryside for a period of time in later generations, and he knew that in later generations, human beings would exterminate locusts and have two assistants, one was a frog and the other was a bird.

Frogs, living in the same type of ecological environment as locusts, where there are reeds, weeds in low-lying land, ponds, ditches, etc., are its good place to live, so frogs are the vanguard of restricting the reproduction of locusts. A single frog can kill more than 10,000 locusts in a summer; A frog eats an average of 50 locusts a day, up to 266 locusts, even a clumsy toad, can prey on nearly 10,000 pests in three months in summer, according to this calculation, as long as there is an average of one frog in two square meters of crop field, it is enough to inhibit the survival of locusts.

Some birds specialize in eating insects, locust eating birds in the brooding stage, more need to prey on a large number of locusts, taking ordinary swallows as an example, a pair of parent birds and a nest of nestlings can eat more than 16,200 locusts per month.

Jin Liang said that frogs and birds can greatly help people catch locusts, but Han Hao said with a sad face: "Lord, is it impossible for people everywhere to raise frogs and birds?" ”

Jin Liang said with a smile: "Why can't you raise frogs, those that are easy to irrigate can raise frogs, as long as there are forty or fifty frogs in an acre of land, there is no need for the people to hunt locusts themselves, and the frogs can do it for them."

As for the birds, although it is not convenient to raise those that fly around, you can also raise some chickens, ducks, and geese to help catch locusts. ”

"Can chickens, ducks and geese help destroy locusts?" Han Hao never thought that those ordinary poultry could have such a function.

Jin Liang nodded solemnly and said, "That's true, when I was in Wuyuan County before, I saw chickens and ducks raised by herdsmen on the grassland eating locusts. ”

In fact, this experience was seen by Jin Liang in the Mongolian steppe in later generations.

At that time, every year when the grassland locusts broke out, the local people sprayed pesticides to eliminate the locusts, and the initial effect was remarkable. However, due to the continuous use of pesticides, there are also some problems that are difficult to solve, locusts begin to produce drug resistance, so that the effectiveness of pesticides is reduced, in order to ensure the effect of locust extermination, can only increase the use of pesticides, which not only increases pesticide residues, pollutes the grassland, but also kills the natural enemies of locusts, and destroys the ecological balance of the grassland. In order to alleviate the ills caused by the drug to eradicate locusts, the grassland herders introduced poultry such as chickens, ducks, turkeys, and guinea fowl.

Those herding chickens and ducks have the ability to prey on locusts, and a single herding chicken can control locusts in five to ten acres of grassland. Raising chickens to exterminate locusts has significantly surpassed that of airplanes and tractors spraying locusts in terms of protecting the ecology and reducing the cost of locust extermination.

Herding chickens to exterminate locusts. It does not pollute the grassland, there is no pesticide residue, and it also brings organic fertilizer to the grassland. Cultivated the productivity of the grasslands. Locusts are rich in high-quality protein, a variety of trace elements, rich in vitamins, is a high-quality feed for chickens, ducks and other poultry, and chickens prey on locusts. The daily weight gain is significant, the economic benefits are considerable, and the meat and eggs produced are high-quality green organic food, which is a good way to kill multiple birds with one stone.

Jin Liang suddenly remembered the plan of "raising poultry in pastoral areas and raising livestock in agricultural areas" that he had told Han Hao before, so he calculated an account with Han Hao and said: "It takes four years to raise a cow for slaughter, and a sheep produces one lamb a year, and the income is about more than 1,000 yuan." The feeding cycle of cattle and sheep is long, and the pressure on the pasture is high. And other costs are not small. If you raise a chicken, it only takes three or four months for a chicken to hatch to be slaughtered, and a chicken can encircle and suppress locusts in five to ten acres of grassland throughout the summer, because locusts are very fat, the price of chickens that grow up eating locusts is much higher than that of ordinary chickens, and the preliminary estimate is fifty yuan each.

One person can take care of a thousand chickens without destroying the grassland. The total income after slaughter is not less than 50,000 yuan. This is not only for the herdsmen on the grassland, but also for the farmers in Jizhou and Bingzhou, raising chickens can not only kill locusts and get rich, but we Hanmin can eat more chicken. Enhance physical fitness, this is a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone, Yuan Hei, I hope you will preside over this matter, so that the people under the rule of the Xiangyang court can raise more chickens, ducks and geese to control locusts. ”

When Han Hao heard Jin Liang say this, he smiled and said: "My lord, my subordinates will draw up an official document to encourage people everywhere to raise chickens." ”

Jin Liang nodded and said: "Yes, it is encouragement, the benefits of raising chickens, ducks and geese should be fully explained, not forced, just encouraged." ”

Now Jin Liang is nominally just a hussar general to supervise the internal and external military, it seems that in addition to leading troops to fight, other things should not be taken care of by him, in fact, all major matters under the rule of the Xiangyang court must be decided by Jin Liang, he can rest assured. Although there is an internal handling matter, but among the internal auxiliary ministers, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and Liu Yu are outside, Lu Zhi, Cai Yong, and Ma Riyan are old, and their health is not good, and they often do not serve the council.

After Yu Ban, Guan Hai, and Tai Shi Ci pacified most of Qingzhou, Zheng Xuan, who was trapped in the mountains, also had to get rid of it, came to Xiangyang, and was recommended by his old friend Lu Zhi, and was earnestly persuaded by Lu Zhi, Zheng Xuan's high disciple Cui Yan also tried his best to persuade, Zheng Xuan also thanked Jin Liang for sending troops to pacify the kindness of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, so he had to accept the appointment of the imperial court and became a Situ, specializing in education, and he was also a qualified Situ in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty.

Although his reputation was frustrated because of the smell of copper, Cui Lie is still one of the few celebrities in the Han Dynasty, he is experienced in the eunuch field, and he is also quite interesting, and the Cui family is also secretly close to Jin Liang, and Jin Liang recommended Cui Lie as the official of the appointment.

Zheng Xuan and Cui Lie also entered and became one of the top ten auxiliary ministers, in fact, only Jin Liang, Huang Wan, and Cui Lie really took on the real power of government affairs, and Huang Wan and Cui Lie were firmly on Jin Liang's side in the recent family rebellions.

Lu Zhi is Jin Liang's master in the art of war and Confucianism, Cai Yong is not only Jin Liang's master in piano, calligraphy, and resignation, but also Jin Liang's quasi-father-in-law, and Lu Zhi's son Lu Yu also often comes to the General's Mansion to study with Jin Liang's Yi Zhuge Liang, Lu Xun, Lu Meng and others to study under Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui and Mr. Kong Ming Hu Zhao, Cai Yong's righteous brothers have many of them in the Central Army, Ma Riyan, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Liu Yu, Zheng Xuan, Cui Lie, Huang Wan, these famous and famous brothers at home are also serving in the Xiangyang Imperial Court, Like Huangfu Song's son Huangfu Li, Cui Lie's son Cui Jun, and Liu Yu's son Liu He, they were all honored as members of the three grades in the imperial court.

Under Jin Liang's careful management, although Lu Zhi, Cai Yong, Ma Riyan, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and Zheng Xuan never admit it, the facts are already doomed, they have all been firmly tied to the carriage of the Xiangyang Imperial Court, and they are also tied to the Central Army.

Jin Liang has a lot of worries about the future, the plague is one of them, Jin Liang has issued a health decree, forcing the people under his rule to follow the health regulations, let Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing medical school students to preach health regulations in various places, and urge the people around the country to do a good job in preventing and controlling the plague, in just a few months, Jizhou, Bingzhou and even Shuozhou, Qingzhou have changed their appearance, compared with other places in the Han Dynasty, it is simply a clean and tidy paradise, I believe that under the rule of the Xiangyang court in the future, Jin Liang's territory, the suddenness of the plague is almost zero.

Jin Liang is worried about the future, and there is also a reduction in grain production, and the reasons for the reduction in grain output are nothing more than major droughts and floods, locust plagues, and military disasters; for such irresistible natural disasters as major droughts and floods, Jin Liang can only strictly demand that local governments, people, and armies build water conservancy projects to cope with the great droughts and floods that will come at any time.

With regard to the locust plague, Jin Liang has made careful arrangements in terms of psychological construction, prevention, radical cure, and elimination, and he believes that although this year's locust plague cannot be restrained, it will not lead to very tragic results, and the grain output should be controlled within 10 percent.

For the military disaster, Jin Liang, as the senior commander of all the armies under the Xiangyang court, strictly required the defenders of each border to guard the passes, beware of the invasion of the Xianbei Hu people outside the Saiwai, beware of the invasion of Dong Zhuoxi Liang soldiers and Yanzhou Yellow Turbans, beware of other local forces and family rebellion, in order to allow the four states he occupied to recuperate, Jin Liang also prepared a truce for a year, and then acted in 192 AD.

Of course, Jin Liang was not idle during the year, in addition to enjoying the joy of family with his wife and concubines, he focused most of his attention on training cavalry.

Before defeating the 100,000 cavalry of the Xianbei invasion in the west, Zhang Liao and Ju Yi captured more than 200,000 Xianbei horses, with these more than 200,000 Xianbei horses, Jin Liang decided to expand the cavalry again, and the elite cavalry of the Central Army should be expanded from the original more than 60,000 people to 100,000 horses, and it is 100,000 war cavalry, and there are 100,000 auxiliary cavalry, one person and two cavalry, and one auxiliary cavalry is a single horse, in total, the cavalry of the Central Army has 300,000 elite horses, and there are more than 100,000 war horses left.

Among the 300,000 elite war horses, more than 200,000 are Xianbei horses, and this Xianbei horse is the ancestor of the Mongolian horse in later generations, and as we all know, the Mongolian horse is a treasure of Temujin Genghis Khan's Mongolian iron horse sweeping across the Eurasian continent.

Mongolian horses have a small physique, a stout body, solid and powerful limbs, a rough and strong physique, a large head and a wide forehead, a deep and long chest, short legs, firm joints, well-developed tendons, thick back hair, and complex coat color.

Compared with the war horses produced in other places, the Mongolian horse has a very obvious advantage, it is hard-working, not afraid of cold, has strong vitality, and can survive in difficult and harsh conditions; It has strong bones and full muscles, and although it is not good at jumping, it must not have internal diseases; It is not easy to be injured during exercise, recovers physical strength, is resistant to rough feeding, and is not easy to lose fat, which ensures its survival under extremely poor conditions and can adapt to extremely extensive feeding management; The hoof is unusually hard, and the lungs are well developed so that their breathing can adapt to the overloaded camel load; Mongolian horses have dense eyelashes, no eye diseases, stronger eyesight than other horse breeds, and slightly milder color blindness; The joints are not prominent, making them good at weight-bearing walking; In terms of riding, Mongolian horses are stable and comfortable, and they can walk at a variety of paces.

Mongolian horses are not as fast as European horses, but they are strong at long-distance running, and their forage requirements are lower than those of other horses, and they can withstand harsh natural conditions. Therefore, the Mongolian army can "move first, and the grain and grass will go later", and the Mongolians who were born in the bitter cold land since childhood endured hardships and stood hard work, and sometimes relied on drinking mare's milk to satisfy their hunger. The Mongol army was not troubled by baggage, so it was able to carry out an astonishing range of non-stop maneuvers.

When Genghis Khan rode westward, he often relied on the incredible speed and endurance of the Mongol horse to surprise the enemy and achieve victory. When Genghis Khan's two generals, Subutai and Jebe, attacked the fortress of Hualamun because the fortifications in the city were strong and could not be breached, Jebe led his army to retreat 500 miles away and rest his ranks. When the enemy spies learned that Genghis Khan's army had retreated to a distance of 500 miles, the guards in the city relaxed and relaxed their vigilance. After the Mongol army had rested for a few days, one night Jebe suddenly gave the order and led a large army to attack the city. The army marched 500 miles by night and arrived at the city early the next morning to carry out a surprise attack. Due to the unpreparedness of the city, Genghis Khan's army easily broke through the city and won a complete victory. After that, the Mongol army became famous, and it took only two years to defeat the powerful kingdom of Hualam.

Although Jin Liang was very disgusted with Genghis Khan's massacre of the people in Eurasia, he had to admire the Mongolian cavalry for being invincible in the era of cold weapons, and the central cavalry he created was on par with the Mongolian cavalry.

Although Jin Liang got more than 200,000 Xianbei horses, he gave birth to the crazy idea of chasing the Qin Emperor and Han Wu and even surpassing Genghis Khan, but he had to admit that the cultivation-based Han nation may not be able to compare with the Mongolian people in history in the era of cold weapons that conquered the world by horses.

The Mongols at the end of the Song Dynasty may be a steppe nation with strong riding and archery skills in history, the Mongols received military training from the time they could walk, especially the cavalry archery, all of them were marksmen, and they were drawn with hard bows, they could shoot through armor, and the military skills training they received also included horses, etc., each Mongolian cavalry has a number of weapons that are worthy of hand, different fighting styles and different weapons, which can be described as all-round cavalry.

The important thing is that the overall tactics of the Mongol cavalry in Genghis Khan's era were advanced, and their tactics were very much in line with the military thinking of a certain leader, with a high degree of mobility as the mainstay, the enemy advancing and retreating, the enemy being tired and disturbing, and the enemy retreating and chasing after me. During the period of the Mongol cavalry's westward expedition, the European heavy armored cavalry infantry did not blindly rush, first shot a heavy arrow, if it was the enemy's camp, it would also launch rockets, use trebuchets to throw stones, etc., and when the enemy was in chaos, avoid the enemy's front, and attack the enemy by outflanking. The European heavy knights are clumsy and when the formation is disrupted, they are tantamount to a group of turtles in a hard shell. The use of weapons such as lassos and short axes by Mongolian warriors is tantamount to chopping melons and vegetables. The formation of the Mongolian cavalry was wide and unfolded, and the front and rear teams could take turns shooting arrows, and at the same time, if the enemy rushed hard, they could unfold a maneuver within a radius of 100 miles, so that the enemy could not touch it. The Mongols fought a war in Hungary, and the casualties of the European heavy warriors were simply disproportionate.
