From the mountain, he returned to his garrison camp with Tai Shici and Qu A, and it was already dusk, and the sun in the early July in the south was a little yellow, not very hot, and everything was shrouded in the last touch of gold of the day.

Back in the camp, Tao Ying hurriedly summoned the military doctor to treat the young general Qu A, and instructed the military doctor that no matter how good the medicinal materials were, he must save the life of the young general.

After settling everyone, Tao Ying summoned Zhuge Jin and others to discuss countermeasures for going back. Now Pengcheng Zhang Zhao sent a letter again, saying that after Lü Bu occupied Xuzhou, Cao Cao went to the Han Emperor and named Lü Bu as the pastor of Xuzhou and the governor of Xuzhou. Now, the ambitious Lu Buzheng ordered Zhang Liao to lead nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses from Lu State again, preparing to invade Pei State.

And the news from the southern battlefield, Liu Bei heard that Tancheng County had been lost, and he expected that he would not be able to fight Yuan Shu, so he led the troops to return with his eldest brother pottery merchant and shamelessly took refuge in Lu Bu.

Outside the camp, there was an endless stream of patrolling soldiers, and inside the camp, candlelight illuminated the small world. Tao Ying sat in front of the case at a loss, and Zhuge Jin and others were silent while waiting. Tao Yingzhen hopes to have a peerless strategist by his side, but unfortunately, Zhuge Liang is still young.

"This is nearly a thousand miles away from Peiguo, I'm afraid it's too late for us to rush back, in my opinion, we might as well solve the worries of the south first, and then make peace with Yuan Shu, continue the alliance with Liu Xuan, and then go north to recover the land of Xiapi, so that the territory of Pengcheng Kingdom and Guangling County are connected with the city, so that it will be easy to defend in the future."

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhuge Jin finally expressed his thoughts.

"What should the north do? Lu Bu is brave, if he is given enough time, Pengcheng will not be protected! ”

After Zhuge Jin finished speaking, Xu Sheng retorted beside him.

Zhuge Jin looked at Xu Sheng, who was sitting opposite him at the moment. The armor on his body was still unloaded, and the long sword at his waist seemed to still tell Xu Sheng's bravery.

Zhuge Jin replied to Xu Shengyi: "As far as I know, it only takes a month to pacify the north of Guangling. Our army is heading north, and now the leaders of the counties and counties in the original Xiapi are all panicked, they are afraid of Yuan Shu's strategy, and they are worried about the brutal Lu Bu's rampant conquest, so as long as the lord throws an olive branch, they will definitely cling! ”

This issue seems to be really easy to solve. Because after all, those territories are the territories of Xuzhou, and the people there have long missed peace and longevity. Looking at Xuzhou, apart from the land led by Tao Ying, where else can it be peaceful? They were originally dedicated to Liu Bei, but now Liu Bei has also lost the land of Xuzhou, and now he has gone to mix with Lu Bu.

"What about the Southlands?"

Tao Ying, who hadn't spoken for a long time, spoke.

Zhuge Jin pointed to the south and said: "Lord, Liu Xianfan can want to harm us and others, just use this as an excuse to accuse him of being unkind and unjust, and then raise troops and return to Guangling tonight." Then he repaired the book and Sun Ce, and made peace with him, Sun Ce saw the strength of our army today, and he will definitely not be the enemy of our Xuzhou, if our army and Liu Xian join forces, he will definitely not be able to break through, so he will definitely choose to unite with us. ”

Several people discussed until midnight, and in the second half of the night, Tao Ying suddenly announced that he would let the generals lead the troops and horses of his headquarters to slowly go north. After Gan Ning led the naval army to break, Zhao Yun led the troops and horses of his headquarters on land, Xu Sheng was the vanguard, and he sat in the middle army and withdrew from the second watch.

By the time dawn came, Tao Ying's army had already reached thirty miles away.

When Tao Ying retreated, he didn't forget to bring Lu Su away, which made Lu Su depressed. After dawn, Tao Ying's envoy sent a letter to Qu'a and Sun Ce's military camps.

When Liu Miao received the letter, he named himself for Xinyi to save his allies, but he didn't want Fan Neng to take his life, so he had no choice but to go north to return to his own territory.

Liu Miao was furious and asked Fan Neng to be arrested, and Fan Neng knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, saying that it was the deputy general's idea, but he did not listen to him. Liu Miao was going to arrest the deputy general again, but Vice General Fan Neng had already fled at night to join Sun Ce. Before his lieutenant left, he also took nearly 2,000 military horses with him.

After knowing the news, Liu Miao was even more angry.

Another letter was sent to Sun Ce, the content of the letter was very simple, Tao Ying was willing to cooperate with Sun Ce in the well water and not violate the river water, and each of them would guard their own territory in the future. If Sun Ce dared to invade Wu County and Guangling for half a step, Tao Yingding would lead the entire Xuzhou soldiers and horses to crush Sun Ce's army into powder!

An official document, followed by a private letter. The content of the private message is nothing more than Tao Ying and he made a hexagram with him, so that he should not have the idea of playing the meeting, otherwise he would die.

Sun Ce laughed out loud after reading the letter, thinking that Tao Ying was afraid of himself and had already led his troops north, only Zhou Yu frowned beside him and said: "The second son of Xuzhou is invincible, why did he suddenly withdraw his troops now?" There's definitely something strange about that! ”

Sun Ce stood on an uphill slope and pointed to Fan Neng's camp in the distance and said, "Don't worry about Gongjin, he is leaving, and he is with me." Now nearly half of Fan Neng's army has taken refuge in me, just attack the camp tonight, they retreat into the city of Qu'a, and when the time comes, we should cooperate with the outside and will definitely be able to take Qu'a! ”

Zhou Yu nodded, looking into the distance, a large camp was surrounded by antlers, patrolling soldiers walking in groups with spears, and tents everywhere seemed to be raised hills on the vast land.

Withdrawing troops from Qu'a into the territory of Guangling, crossing the Yangtze River, Tao Ying ordered Chen Deng, the Taishou of Suzhou, to expand the recruitment of soldiers and horses, and the grain and grass were supplied by Guangling, and then let the soldiers and horses continue to open up wasteland and farm in the Suzhou area, and then recruit people and bandits, so that they can return to farming.

In order to encourage fertility and then turn Suzhou's large fertile soil into fertile land, Tao Ying even ordered that Suzhou County would reward land whenever a child was born, and families with more than ten children would be exempted from half of the grain tax, and the land would be given, and the government would also give special care to the grain.

After the promulgation of this policy, it will be fixed for 15 years, and in 15 years, the population of Suzhou will definitely rise in a straight line, and Suzhou will become the largest county in the south at that time!

After crossing the Yangtze River to Guangling, the Guangling Navy has recruited nearly 20,000 people. At this time, the total number of soldiers and horses in the south has far exceeded that of the north, but at this time, the output of grain in the south is less than half of that in the north. There are many kinds of rice in the south, and the improved rice has not yet been produced, and the rice yield is very low.

Moreover, the fertilizer used in paddy fields and dry land is not the same, so in order to solve the problem of food shortage in the south, Tao Ying set up a school in Suzhou City, Suzhou County, named Suzhou Rice School. The Rice School is mainly used to study the improvement of rice, and then to study the fertilizer suitable for rice, various insecticidal agriculture, and so on.

In order to build a good Suzhou Rice School, Tao Ying even made it subordinate to Suzhou fertilizer factory, pesticide factory and other future factories. For safety reasons, Tao Ying temporarily set up the Suzhou Rice School in Guangling City, Guangling County. Because Guangling also produces rice, and after so many years of development, Guangling is more prosperous, and Guangling City, as the capital of Guangling, has more talents, so it will develop faster when it is formed.

Once Suzhou is stabilized and the soldiers and horses are strong enough to withstand Sun Ce's attack, then move the school to Suzhou. When the time comes, some teachers and students will be left, and it will be just right to form a new Guangling Rice School.
