Su You needs to bring most of these fallen strokes back to the Three Mountains to farm, otherwise spring will pass!

Su You believed that Zhang Long with 5,000 newly surrendered soldiers and 4,000 elites of Wei Ting and Wang Qi would have no pressure at all to take Changli County; As for the next stop, Su You hopes that it will be Xuansu County and the Turks, and of course Wei Ting and Wang Qi will return to Youzhou at that time

Entering Liaodong City, Su You appeased the surrendered soldiers as soon as possible, and levied 5,000 from them for Zhang Long to take for training; As for those who were not chosen, he also gave a way out.

They only had two choices, either go home, or go to Sanshan with Su You to farm.

Because they were too far away from home, and now there was nothing to eat on the ground, most of the soldiers were worried about starvation and succumbed to Su You, these people totaled more than 30,000, which was also all Su You's harvest this time.

Before leaving Liaodong City, Su You only left Zhang Long with a thousand heavy horses and almost all the grain and grass he brought this time.

The troops that Zhang Long could now control included 1,000 heavy cavalry, 5,000 newly surrendered Gaokai Daoist soldiers, and 3,000 auxiliary soldiers, one-third of which belonged to Su You from Sanshan, and the rest came from Liaodong City's descendants.

Seeing that Zhang Long suddenly changed from a small commander leading a thousand heavy cavalry to a general Yingyang, if Wang Qi and Wei Ting were not envious, jealous and hateful in their hearts, it must be fake; What's even more depressing is that in the future Battle of Changli, Wei Ting and Wang Qi can only temporarily obey Zhang Long's orders as allies.

This is also a matter of no choice, after all, Su You previously seized the three counties of Yuyang, Beiping, and Liaoxi for Luo Yi, so Wei Ting and Wang Qi could only follow to pay off the debt; What is embarrassing is that when Su You helped them grab the land, they brought their own food, but now they are eating Su You's food.

In the future battle of Changli, siege equipment such as catapults may be used, which is also the reason why Su You left 3,000 assistants to Zhang Long; But Su You believes that it should not be difficult to capture Changli, which is another reason why he will not continue to lead the team.

The most important reason is, of course, that Su You needs to send these people back to spring ploughing, and because there is no large river near the Changli County Governor's Office, Su You can't easily bring the artillery.

Since he couldn't bring artillery, it didn't matter so much whether Su You went or not.

Before leaving, Su You explained to Zhang Long again, and asked him to take Changli and send the assistants recruited in the Gao Kaidao Surrender Attack to the open-pit coal mine first, and then they could wave their troops north to march to Xuansu.

After the explanation, Su You walked onto the command ship under the arch guard of the guard, watching Zhang Long's troops finally disappear from view, Su You also ordered in a deep voice, "Return to the Three Mountains!" ”

The boats left the north bank of the Liang River and went down the river.

And Li Mi was committed to blockading the eastern capital and cutting off the grain route; The defenders of the eastern capital fought many times, but they failed to break through the encirclement of the Wagang army, and the city began to run out of food.

The eastern capital was originally prosperous, and the cloth was piled up, but because the city was besieged, there was no firewood to make a fire; The rich had to burn cloth to make fires for cooking, while the poor could not survive, and people began to starve to death in the city.

On the third day of the first month of March, Li Yuan began to march to the east of the river, and the world was shaken.

Strangely, the Turkic army temporarily retreated to the north of Dingxiang County, and even Yanmen County, which had besieged the two gates of Yanmen City for more than ten days, also retreated one by one.

Because of the sudden death of Shibi Khan, the Turks ushered in a special period of power transfer.

However, in the eyes of Li Yuan and Liu Wuzhou, the actions of the Turks were not helpful to them, and at this time, Liu Wuzhou was not obsessed with Yanmen City, and immediately withdrew the soldiers besieging Li Jing.

After receiving the news of Li Yuan's army, Li Jing finally realized that there was no need to stay in the lonely city of Yanmen, and then led a thousand defenders and Yanyun's eighteen cavalry to quietly go to Youzhou.

The actions of more than a thousand people naturally couldn't hide Liu Wuzhou, but he seemed to turn a blind eye to Li Jing and Yan Yun's eighteen cavalry, and let them go straight to Youzhou.

After a month and a half of tossing and turning, Pei Shiju, who disguised himself as a refugee in the city, finally came to Sanshan on the merchant ship of the Nanami Trading Company to receive refugees.

Recently, the population of Sanshan Castle has reached 400,000 people, and some people have been diverted from the city a few days ago, so the ships of the Seven Seas Trading Company go to the Central Plains to receive refugees as often as before.

Pei Shiju was in a daze, and suddenly heard a man dressed as a businessman who had received him on the boat shouting, "The boat will arrive at the shore in a while, everyone pack your luggage, and when you get off the boat, you will still line up one by one." ”

Pei Shiju looked left and right, but where did he see the appearance of land? Then I saw three or five boats on the sea, all of which were smaller than the ones I was riding on, and I didn't know what they were fishing for.

The further he went, the more ships he could see in front of him, and Pei Shiju finally believed that he was about to reach Sanshan.

Sanshan was originally just a small fishing village, but now it has become a paradise for the refugees on the boat, and after spending a few days with them, Pei Shiju is more and more full of expectations for Sanshan.

Anyway, Pei Shiju's impression of Su You has never been bad.

After walking for a while, the outline of Sanshan became clearer and clearer, Pei Shiju seemed to have seen the high-rise buildings of Sanshan from afar, and these houses were painted with pink and white walls, the walls of Sanshan City were still under construction, and the wilderness of Sanshan was also full of busy figures.

Compared to this, what are the people of the Central Plains doing?

Looking at the surrounding labor scenes, Pei Shiju was a little moved, but the refugees on the boat were all relieved.

I'd rather be a peace dog than a chaotic person, and have a piece of pure land to provide land that can be cultivated, what more can the husband ask for?

Pei Shiju's eyes returned to the dock not far away, and finally found that there were more than 100 large ships moored on the dock at this time, including the warships built by Su You in Nanzhong, as well as the trophies towed back from the Goryeo royal city.

Of course, the refugees on the boat also saw those boats and exclaimed, "Wow, how come there are so many boats here, and there are no such boats when Your Majesty went down to the river." ”

The exclamation of this refugee made Pei Shiju's heart suffocated, Yang Guang's fleet back then was not comparable to these ships in Sanshan.

It's just that Yang Guang built so many ships just to cost the people and money, but Su You built the Goryeo royal city because of this.

"Not only that, the city lord left the docks with sixty or seventy ships a few days ago, and this will not come back yet." An insider immediately said with a smile, he obviously enjoyed the amazement of the refugees, as if the development of Sanshan was inextricably linked to him.

"Isn't Su You here?" Pei Shiju suddenly heard the news, and immediately became depressed, he had already delayed a lot of time when he came here several times, if he hadn't been able to convey His Majesty's will to him in time

Along the way, Pei Shiju also had his own ideas, and he was always worried that Su You would be self-reliant like Luo Yi and not take Yang Guang in his eyes.

Probably Yang Guang also had such an idea, otherwise Su You would not have sent Pei Shiju to come, but directly put it forward in the notice; The most embarrassing thing is that the sealing is just a false name, and Yang Guang, who was extremely generous back then, is no longer visible.

Yang Guang's reward has also changed from a god horse to a floating cloud.

The docks were a busy scene, with tall pulley cranes lifting whales the size of a hill from ships in port, and then slowly adjusting their direction to unload them on the smooth, smooth concrete floor.

Countless people waiting on the dock immediately swarmed up, waved their sharp blades, and began to dismember the whales.

"Big fish, big fish" Not to mention the hundreds of refugees on the boat, even if it is Pei Shiju, how can he ever see such a big fish?

"It's a type of whale, and the meat of the whale is delicious, more tender than veal. Since the beginning of the year, the city lord has taken the elite of the three mountains to the sea to train and hunt whales, so far more than 30 whales of various kinds have been killed, and an average of two or three days can catch one. Among them, there are three humpback whales, six fin whales, and the rest are relatively small hump whales, minke whales, right whales, gray whales, ......"

The crew member who spoke could see the sky in his nostrils, but he was indeed proud of his capital in this boatload of refugees; Now when people don't even have a full meal, he starts to pick and choose fat and thin veal.

Pei Shiju was surprised in his heart, he had never heard of such a detailed classification of fish species before.

In Pei Shiju's understanding, the whale cognition comes from "there is a fish in the North Underworld, its name is Kun", such a huge fish should belong to a god creature such as a sea spirit and sea monster, and when he heard the word "whale" in his ears, he has understood it as a "fine fish".

The volume of such a huge sea god is equivalent to the size of dozens or even hundreds of cows, and the meat alone is enough for tens of thousands of people to eat beautifully; If what this crew said was true, wouldn't the people of Sanshan be able to eat meat in three days?

The reason why Pei Shiju has such an idea is really because of the underestimation of the population of Sanshan.

In his impression, Sanshan City is just a small fishing village, even if Su You keeps sending boats to the Central Plains to pull people, how many people can live here? Fifty thousand? Lakh?

What Pei Shiju didn't know was that now the population of Sanshan City had reached 400,000, and it was not a simple matter for these people to eat meat, but if the whaling team was expanded, this problem would be solved.

Throughout the island's history, whale meat has been a delicacy at grand banquets and festivals.

When whaling was banned around the world in later generations, the islanders were unanimously condemned by the international community for killing 200,000 hump whales, but they did not just hunt the hump whale.

Compared with the data of 200,000 heads, the current whale catch in Sanshan City is not even in the Mengtong stage.

Pei Shiju also didn't know that the main purpose of whaling was not for whale meat, and most whaling countries only needed whale fat, wax, skin, and bones, and whale meat was often thrown away as garbage.
