Chapter 23: Spring Corn! 】

After taking the three largest dock forts in Runan Langling, Wei Yan once thought about whether to develop here?

He looked carefully at the map and then at the terrain, and somewhat understood why Li Tong would submit to Cao Cao so easily in history. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The north of Langling is a plain, the road to Xudu is almost a flat river, and there is no danger to defend, Cao Cao wants to take Li Tong, almost no effort, Li Tong simply returned to Cao Cao, and became Cao Cao's loyal dog.

If Wei Yan developed here and became prosperous, Cao Cao's army set off from Xudu, and it took a few days to kill, and he easily picked his own peaches.

Wei Yancai didn't want to be such a wronged leader!

On the other hand, the Weijiawu Fort in Yiyang is surrounded by water on three sides, one side is surrounded by mountains, and the water side is a mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the mountainous area is suitable for growing potatoes, sweet potatoes and other crops.

In addition, the place in Yiyang ostensibly belongs to Nanyang County, but it is very far away from Wancheng, at the junction of the three counties of Runan, Nanyang, and Jiangxia, commonly known as the Three Regardless Zone, which is most suitable for a small force like Wei Yan to bury his head in development.

Wei Yan didn't understand what his predecessor was doing, such a good base area, it was not easy to operate, he had to run away to be a dog for others, and in the end he was slaughtered, why bother!

Therefore, Wei Yan made a big decision to move all the people in the Langling area to Yiyang.

Of course, forced migration, no one wants it.

As a result, Wei Yan ordered people to spread the news everywhere that Cao Cao was going to slaughter Langling, and at the same time spread that there was enough food and mountain treasures in Yiyang to feed people.

Originally, the area of Langling was suffering from famine, but in that life, after Li Tong merged Zhou Zhi and Chen Gong's people, the food pressure was very great, and there was a famine, so he could only go bankrupt to save the people and share the chaff with the soldiers.

The people here heard that Cao Cao, the butcher who had slaughtered half of Xuzhou, was going to come to Tulangling, and they were scared half to death, and when they were hungry, they heard that there was food on the other side of Yiyang, and they didn't need Wei Yan to send troops to force them, so they helped the old and the young to rush to Yiyang.

Lu Chong sent Wei Xiao to lead a thousand reserve troops to escort them along the way to prevent the bandits from plundering these immigrants.

But there are still bandits who don't open their eyes and go down the mountain to plunder.

One of them is the remnants of the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Wu Ba, this guy is not as powerful as Liu Pi and Gong Du, and there are more than 2,000 people under his hands, occupying a mountain and plundering everywhere.

Because this guy was on the road from Langling to Yiyang, Wei Yan decided to pull out the nail.

One day, a convoy of more than 500 people passed through the mountains of Wu Ba, and a coachman accidentally overturned a car, and a lot of gold and silver treasures fell from the car, and some of the cars also shed yellow corn.

When Wu Ba heard the news, he was moved for a moment, so he ordered 2,000 people to go down the mountain to plunder.

When the convoy saw them coming to plunder, they fled quickly, and in a panic, they scattered all over the ground with gold and silver treasures.

Wu Ba and these Yellow Turban soldiers picked up the gold and silver treasures on the ground one after another, and some of the Yellow Turban soldiers even fought together in order to snatch the treasures, and the scene suddenly became a mess.

At this moment, from behind a dense forest, a group of people and horses, two thousand people, as the first general, face like a heavy jujube, eyes like a star, a black horse under the crotch, and a phoenix mouth knife in the palm of the hand, it was Wei Yan Wei Wenchang.

Under his leadership, 2,000 men and horses pounced on the chaotic group of Yellow Turban soldiers like tigers descending from the mountains.

Wu Ba saw that the situation was not good and wanted to escape, but it was too late, only to see Wei Yan stretch his bow and take an arrow, and an arrow hit Wu Ba's head.

Wei Yan's riding and archery is already powerful, he once shot Cao Cao's front teeth in the romance, and now it is even easier to shoot Wu Ba, an unknown junior.

Wei Yan led the army to rush and kill more than 200 Yellow Turban soldiers, and the other Yellow Turban soldiers surrendered one after another.

Some of the deserters ran back to the cottage, only to find that when they poured out to loot the money, Guan Hai had already led 500 men and horses to capture their cottage.

In this way, Wei Yan led the army to sweep the eight mountains led by Wu Ba, beheaded more than 1,800 people (including those who were confirmed to have killed innocent people and humiliated women of good families after surrendering), and captured more than 8,000 Yellow Turban thieves.

When the two rumors spread by Wei Yan spread in the Langling area, not only the more than 50,000 villagers of the three big dock forts, but also the villagers of other small dock forts and villages also helped the old and the young and marched to Yiyang.

There are 110,000 people.

Along with this, the problem of food, although three Dawu forts were captured, eight cottages were also captured, and a lot of grain was obtained, but so many people could only support the wheat harvest, and after the wheat harvest, it was completely insufficient to rely on the grain near Weijiawu Fort.

Fortunately, Wei Yan was rewarded with the seed artifact: "Master, you attack and kill Li Tong, get 10,000 points, kill Zhou Zhi, get 2,000 points, kill Chen He, get 2,000 points, shoot Wu Ba to get 2,000 points, kill more than 2,000 enemy troops, get 4,000 points, capture more than 16,000 soldiers before and after, get 20,000 points, collect 110,000 people, get 110,000 points, you get a total of 150,000 points." ”

Wei Yan didn't think about it, and ordered: "Leave 10,000 points in case you need it, and exchange all the rest for potatoes!" ”

Exchange to get 140,000 catties of potatoes, if you cultivate well, more than three months later, it will be 1.4 million catties of potatoes, if it is just the original people of Weijiawu Fort, it is completely enough, but now from Langlingyi brought 110,000 people, there are thousands of more troops, and it will definitely not be enough at that time.

Wei Yancai deeply felt how serious the food problem was.

The seed artifact elf did not immediately carry out Wei Yan's order, but suggested: "Lord, under the existing conditions, one pound of potatoes can produce a maximum of ten pounds of potatoes, this yield is too low, it is better to plant corn, sprinkle five pounds of corn seeds on an acre, if it is cultivated, it can have more than a thousand catties, even if there is no chemical fertilizer, with farmhouse green manure, at least five or six hundred catties of harvest, which is a hundred times the rate of return, and then mixed with other things, it is enough to satisfy the stomach." ”

Wei Yan followed Kongkong's suggestion and exchanged for 140,000 catties of spring corn seeds.

At the same time, many Mayan tribes in Central America wept bitterly when they found their treasured corn missing.

After these corns entered the seed artifact, they were cultivated before they appeared in a cave and were accidentally discovered by Wei Yan.

When Wei Yan led tens of thousands of troops and 100,000 people back to Weijiawu Fort, the nearby Yangjiawu Fort and Guanjiawu Fort were terrified and all surrendered.

After that, Wei Yan placed 100,000 people between the three dock forts, and adopted the Baojia system, with ten households as one Jia, ten families as one Bao, and the fields were a large plain between the other side of the Weijia River and Tongbai Mountain, and the corn seeds were distributed according to the population, and the harvest was divided into fifty and fifty, and the land was distributed, pioneered, and sown.

Originally, Wei Yan wanted to use Cao Cao's Tuntian system, but found that the people who migrated this time were all brought with their families, not displaced people, and could not be constrained by the Tuntian system. After that, the displaced people recruited can use the tuntian system.

After the corn seeds were sown, Wei Yan gathered the people to build Yiyang City, once Yiyang City was built, Wei Yan would take this as the center of the circle, gradually encroach on the surroundings, expand his territory, and gradually mix into the disputes of Cao Cao, Zhang Xiu and others, and make profits from it.
