Chapter 32 The grass grows and the warbler flies

Although Liu Dai killed Qiao Mao, although it shocked the world, it was not too unexpected for the princes. From the beginning www.biquge.info of Yuan Shao and Sun Jian's tearing of their faces, in fact, the coalition forces already had signs of dissolution. Coupled with the successive departures of Cao Cao, Gao Ye and Gongsun Zhan, the princes of the Nineteenth Route have completely turned into birds and beasts. Although Yuan Shao was still the nominal leader of the coalition at this time, what he could actually control was the 20,000 horses under his command.

The coalition has grown to such an extent that it is inevitable that the stars will disperse. Although Yuan Shao wanted to continue to order the other princes by virtue of his status as the leader of the alliance, he also knew that this was just his wishful thinking. Although Liu Dai, Han Fu and others don't know how to fight, they really don't have a good way to annex them, can they kill Qiao Mao directly like Liu Dai? After all, he is the leader of the alliance and the head of the Yuan family of the fourth world and the third duke, so he can't do such a shameful thing! Don't talk about himself, even if Yuan Shu wanted to do this in his heart, he would take care of his face and the reputation of his family, and forcibly hold back.

The matter has come to this point, and Yuan Shao does not force it, anyway, this battle as the leader of the alliance can be regarded as an explanation to the world. Defeating Dong Zhuo's army back to Chang'an can be regarded as making his reputation even louder, which is enough. Jizhou Han Fu, known as "through the sons, exposing the Nine Classics", is just a literati. Now that he has lost Pan Feng, it is easy for him to seek to seize his Jizhou. Now that everyone is gone, there's no need for me to stay here. Luoyang is now a piece of rubble, what's the use of wanting it yourself? Therefore, Yuan Shao immediately ordered people to pull out the village and set off and rush to his Bohai Sea. The other princes saw that Yuan Shao was also gone, so it was better for everyone to go back to their respective homes as soon as possible, so they also left Luoyang one after another.

Gao Ye took the people and horses, and he didn't go fast along the way, to be honest, Luoyang was not far from his Yingchuan, if it weren't for Gao Ye and Cao Cao leading the troops back to the Tiger Prison Pass, Gao Ye only needed to go south to Xuanyuan Pass like Gao Shun did at that time. No matter how far away it is now, it doesn't matter if you bypass Xingyang and Zhongmu, and everyone returns to Yingyin from Changshe together. What's more, everyone has been on the expedition for nearly three months, and they are also a little tired, so they naturally don't have to be as nervous as before on the march. The earth is rejuvenated, everything is recovering, everywhere is full of vitality, and Gao Ye's current state is by no means like a general leading the army, but like a wanderer.

Even Guo Jia was infected by the high night, riding on a horse all the way, shaking his head and commenting on the scenery along the way, while swallowing the wine syrup, the image of a prodigal son, vividly displayed on Guo Jia's body. This fluttering feeling once gave Gao Ye the illusion that Guo Jia was taking drugs. As for Zhao Yun, he is still in a serious state, directing the march of the army, running back and forth along the way, taking care of everything, and there is a kind of fun in it.

"Big brother, you can bully Zilong, Zilong is taking care of all the marching and camping along the way, so don't you help him at all?" Guo Jia quipped beside Gao Ye.

"And say me, I at least help patrol the camp at night, what about you, what else are you doing besides drinking!" Gao Ye said, snatched Guo Jia's wine gourd, swallowed a few mouthfuls, and then returned it to Guo Jia.

"I'm just a scholar, and I don't know how to march. I call it not in his position, not in his own politics. Guo Jia laughed and said, "And big brother, if you want to drink and bring it yourself, what's the matter with robbing me all the time?" ”

"It's a shame that you're still unparalleled, I don't know if only the wine you snatched is the best!" Gao Ye said that he was about to stretch out his hand again, Guo Jia hurriedly protected the wine jug in his arms, looked at Gao Ye vigilantly and said, "Don't rob it, don't grab it, I won't have to drink it if you take a few more sips!" ”

"Cut, stingy." Gao Ye pursed his lips, then looked around and said, "Fengxiao, we are now in the territory of Ruyingchuan, right?" ”

"Well, it shouldn't be far from the long society. The news of our return has spread to the Changshe early, and now the county magistrate of the Changshe is Zhong Yan's younger brother Zhong Yan, I think he will come to greet the eldest brother. What, what's the problem? If you have a question, then ask if it's over. Guo Jia said indifferently.

"Well, that's right." Gao Ye nodded and said, "I just found that the land around here has not been turned over, and it is even overgrown with weeds, and I see that spring sowing is about to begin, which is not good." ”

"Okay, big brother, you're not one who knows how to farm. How do you know this isn't an arrangement by someone's county order? Don't guess, when the time comes, ask Zhong if the performance will be over. ”

"Okay, I don't want to! Damn, you're really grown up now, I said one sentence and you have ten sentences waiting to scold me, what, it's interesting! Gao Ye couldn't help but complain. This Guo Jia is simply a demon now, and he can no longer fool him like before. Now Guo Jia, basically no matter how fooled he is, he has a way to fight back, and what he says is always reasonable, which makes it difficult to refute. I don't know why, Guo Jia likes to catch the little faults in Gao Ye's words, as long as he is caught, he can laugh at himself all day! I don't know what kind of grudge I have with him.

But after thinking about it, Gao Ye felt very relieved. His two younger brothers, when they first met, they were the only ones who were teachers, and both of them were still little children and didn't understand anything. Up to now, Guo Jia's wisdom has far surpassed his own, especially after reading the books he brought from the afterlife, the whole person has completely become a demon. Mr. Lu Xun once commented that Zhuge Liang in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is "wise and almost demonic", and the current Guo Jia definitely deserves this evaluation. As for Zhao Yun, his martial arts are far superior to himself, and he can fight with himself for one or two hundred rounds without falling behind. Although the command of the military formation is still a little immature, as long as he is allowed to fight a few more battles, there will naturally be no more problems. Even if it was himself, if he didn't have those experiences on the border of Wuyuan, he wouldn't be able to become the famous general he is now.

Seeing that his two younger brothers have surpassed themselves, on the one hand, they are glad that they have accomplished, and on the other hand, they are congested by their backwardness.

Guo Jia saw Gao Ye's depression, and laughed even more, even Gao Ye was laughed by Guo Jia's laughter, brother is like this, even if one person is embarrassed, it is also a happy time for two people. Compared with the happiness of Gao Ye and Guo Jia, Zhao Yun is now as calm as a piece of ice, although he also knows that there will be no accidents on this march, there will be no enemies, there will be no ambushes, and everyone is just a long-distance journey with peace of mind, but Zhao Yun did not relax at all, until the army was encamped outside Changshe City, and then he returned to his normal state on weekdays.

Gao Ye brought nearly 10,000 horses, so naturally he couldn't enter the county seat of Changshe casually, after all, the county seat was not big, and there were 2,000 garrisons stationed there, if his 10,000 people entered the city, I was afraid that there would be no place to live. As the chief general of this army, Gao Ye naturally can't leave without permission, so Zhong Yan, who got the news of Gao Ye's return, has hurried to Gao Ye's big tent to report. With him came only a group of guards and three or five servants.

When Gao Ye saw Zhong Yan, he first laughed heartily and worked hard. After all, Zhong Yan is Zhong Xuan's younger brother, although he is not as famous as Zhong Xuan, but he is also a famous celebrity in Yingchuan, so he naturally can't slack off. Zhong Yan saw Gao Ye, naturally he was also very polite, first Gao Ye was Yingchuan Taishou, his top boss, etiquette should not be taken lightly; Second, Gao Ye has a good relationship with Zhong Xuan, and he admires him very much, so he can't lose his honor.

After the two of them finished greetings, they each sat down, Gao Ye naturally sat at the top of the big tent, and Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and Zhong Yan sat at the bottom of the tent. After Gao Ye let people serve tea, he asked: "Zhong County Order, I passed by Changshe, and I saw many farmlands along the way that had not been turned over, and some of them were overgrown with dead grass, what is going on?" Spring sowing is about to take place, so it's not going to work. ”

"Your Excellency. There are indeed a lot of such lands in my Changshe County this year, but no one cultivates them. ”

"How so?" Gao Ye asked strangely, food and grass are the most important thing, so Gao Ye is not nervous.

"Alas, the farm tools you sent to the counties at the beginning are really useful. At that time, with so many yellow turban laborers and those farm tools, a large amount of land was reclaimed in Changshe County at once. Now, five years have passed, and these laborers have been registered and the land has been divided. But there is so much land that they can't divide it at all! No, there is a lot of land that no one has to cultivate at all! I gave this chapter to Lord Xun when I was a year, but Lord Xun didn't have any good solutions, so it has been delayed until now. ”

When Gao Ye heard this, he couldn't help frowning, this is a big problem. I thought that in order to obtain a large amount of food, I directly took out the treasures at the bottom of the box, what zigzag plows, cocoons, shovels, sickles, and all the farm tools that could be seen in later generations, Gao Ye made them. But I didn't expect that now that these yellow scarves are released, there will be so much land that no one has planted! But they can't be blamed for this, after all, who would want to cultivate land that is not their own? But it's a pity that no one planted these reclaimed land! And this problem is by no means only owned by Changshe, I think the whole Yingchuan will face this problem, if it can't be properly solved, I'm afraid that this year's grain in Yingchuan will be reduced by at least one-third!

That Zhong Yan saw Gao Ye's brows furrowed, and asked himself what he had in mind, but he could only shake his head and say that there was nothing he could do. After all, I really can't do anything, I can't force them to grow food for the government! Besides, he has a small county order, such a problem, let them have a headache, with these big heads in front, they are also happy.

"That's it, I'll go back and think about it. Recently, you have brought some servants and burned the weeds in the wasteland to make manure, even if you can't cultivate this year, it is good to raise the land and prepare for next year. ”

"Obedience."
