As soon as Zhang Zuosheng opened his mouth, he complained bitterly, especially when he mentioned the situation of the army's food and grass, and bluntly said that he could not supply it. To say it so blatantly, the meaning is nothing more than crying poverty.

Feng Guozhang was once again touched to the bottom line, and the three old foxes in front of him were just about to use the trick of the white wolf with empty gloves. With his toes, he could think that Zhang Zuosheng meant to ask him Feng Guozhang to produce grain and grass.

Obviously, if he agreed, the other two would inevitably follow, and in the end, he, Feng Guozhang, would be responsible for the grain and grass of the 200,000 army.

Feng Guozhang sneered in his heart, and he didn't answer, still maintaining a smile on his face and pretending to be confused.

Zhang Jiachang seemed to be a little breathless, and he also complained: "What the eldest brother said is the truth, if Feng Shuai is convenient, I hope you can support everyone a little." ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! The whole of Shandong was previously made into a miasma by the Japanese Invaders, and we have been fighting against the Japanese Invaders for all these years. Feng Shuai shouldn't know that grain and grass are a big problem, and if it can't be solved, then our cooperation will be unnecessary. Yan Xisan was not willing to be lonely, and also said a few words.

Facing the three old foxes pressing step by step, Feng Guozhang calmed down and said: "Don't hide it, my side is also short of grain and grass now, and it is not enough to support myself, a lot of grain and grass are purchased from outside." It is absolutely impossible for me to be responsible for the food and grass of the 200,000 army, and I can't help it! ”

Feng Guozhang's straightforwardness was obviously unpleasant, and Zhang Zuosheng directly lowered his face and threatened: "Then Feng Shuai doesn't want to cooperate?" ”

Zhang Zuosheng's face, Feng Guozhang seemed to have expected it, and said unhurriedly: "Who doesn't want to cooperate, everyone knows it in their hearts." The three marshals still think about it seriously, if it really doesn't work, it's a big deal for me to go to Ye Shaolong. ”

After speaking, Feng Guozhang directly confessed, and then retreated alone.

When he is a clay man, he can pinch it as much as he wants, no matter how Feng Guozhang says it, he is also a warlord, and there is a bottom line for forbearance.

Looking at Feng Guozhang's departing back, Zhang Jiachang frowned and said, "Big brother, are we going to go too far just now?" ”

Yan Xisan also said at this time: "It's true that we went a little too far just now, or we will be responsible for this grain and grass!" ”

Zhang Zuosheng hesitated, nodded and said, "Well, it's indeed a bit excessive, then we'll send our own troops and be responsible for each." If we force Feng Guozhang to Ye Shaolong's side, it will not be good for us. ”

After making a decision, Zhang Zuosheng said to the Zhang family: "Wait a minute, you will talk to him and tell him our decision." Anyway, the battlefield is on his Feng Guozhang's territory, and the biggest loss is still him, let's take the benefits, don't worry too much about those small profits. ”

The rest of them nodded in agreement, and then the three of them dispersed.

On the outskirts of Yejiabao, villages have sprung up, and all the former wasteland has been reclaimed to cultivate fields and fruit trees. Yejiabao is located in the rear of Ye Shaolong's forces, and it is relatively much safer.

Farms, paddy fields, orchards, one after another, were built, wells were dug for irrigation, and livestock were raised, cattle, sheep and pigs were raised. Everywhere you look, it's a busy scene!

Ye Shaolong had nothing to do, and he personally inspected the fields with Su Can and his two wives, and the people greeted each other everywhere he went, and all of them smiled like flowers.

Since the last crisis passed, Ye Shaolong has made up his mind to develop Yejiabao on a large scale, and all the wasteland has been reclaimed, and there is no waste at all.

The improvement of the environment and the abundance of food and clothing for the people have made this originally desolate land a prosperous scene!

At this time, the group came to the foot of the mountain, where a hundred fields were planted in the orchard. The saplings have been growing for more than a year, and they are lush and beautiful to the eye.

Tang Feifei pointed to the large orchard in front of her, and asked very puzzledly: "Xianggong, why do we plant so many fruit trees, we don't have enough fields to grow food, why don't we keep them as arable land?" ”

Seeing Tang Feifei asking, Ye Shaolong didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "There is never too much arable land, but if too much cultivated land is cultivated, it will inevitably make the environment worse and worse." This is our home base, our home, to ensure the food and clothing of the people while also taking into account the protection of the environment. You don't want Yejiabao to become a barren land after many years! ”

Regarding environmental protection and planting trees, Ye Shaolong had explained to Tang Feifei and them before. The large area of greenery in front of me has indeed changed the surrounding environment, and it has also made the temperature in Yejiabao warmer, and the continuous drought of two or three years has also improved recently.

Everyone nodded understandingly, and finally understood Ye Shaolong's hard work. And planting fruit trees is better than planting ordinary trees because the fruit is harvested every year, which is also a food source, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

When the people in the orchard heard that Ye Shaolong was coming, they picked ripe fruits in their fields and sent them to taste. Apples, pears not to mention, Ye Shaolong actually found that there are watermelons, courgettes, and grapes.

In short, there are too many to count, and as long as it is suitable for growing in the north, almost none of them are left here.

Some of them have never even been seen, and everyone is warmly entertained by the people, opening their bellies and enjoying the sweet fruits.

Everyone was silent when the taste was satisfied, and a fast horse galloped over, only to see a soldier flying off the horse, running straight to Ye Shaolong's front and kneeling on one knee and saying: "Dashuai, there is new news in Hebei, Zhang Zuosheng from Shandong, Zhang Jiachang, Yan Xisan. The three arrived in Hebei the day before yesterday and were warmly received by Feng Guozhang. ”

Ye Shaolong frowned, and then waved his hand to let the soldiers retreat.

Su Can was very surprised and said, "Could it be that this Feng Guozhang still wants to unite with the forces of Shandong to attack us?" ”

Ye Shaolong sneered and said: "It's not wrong, this Feng Guozhang seems to want to break the kettle, but unfortunately he will never be able to become a climate!" ”

Su Can was very worried and said: "At present, Shanxi has not completely calmed down, if Hebei and Shandong come to attack, can we cope with it?" ”

Ye Shaolong smiled and asked, "Do you think the Hebei and Shandong coalition forces are comparable to the previous Seven Nations coalition forces?" ”

Su Can didn't want to shake his head directly: "No, the equipment of foreigners is not comparable to these warlords, and the soldiers themselves are not comparable." ”

"That's it, why should we worry about the warlords of the two places, we can easily resist them if we are well prepared. Then, as long as we drag him for a month, the coalition will surely retreat on its own. Ye Shaolong looked confident and didn't seem to be worried at all.
