Chang'an, the cold wind hunts, and the snowflakes flutter.

Just a few days after the sunny, the land of Guanzhong was once again shrouded in dark clouds.

Tens of thousands of Xiliang troops surrounded Chang'an, and they were attacking fiercely, and they did not retreat until Bangwan.

The moat has long been filled, the head of the city is covered with blood, and the city is piled with corpses, and after the blood stains are coagulated, countless corpses are frozen together, and it has truly become a mountain of flesh, which is difficult to move.

Guo Yan's army climbed such a mountain of meat and directly attacked the city.

At the north gate, Xu Rong stood solemnly, his stomach had been damaged in many places, and the saber in his hand had collapsed.

On the knife-and-axe-like face, I can't tell what the expression is, but the eyes are a little confused.

On the city wall on the left, hundreds of soldiers with tattered clothes and bloodstained faces had sad faces, facing the cold wind and flying snowflakes standing solemnly in the cold wind, confused like lambs in the wind and snow, not knowing where their home was.

Xu Rong asked himself, and he didn't know what he was guarding Chang'an for.

Dong Zhuo is dead, the court is also dead, and he has no one to work for.

If it is only for the more than 100,000 people in Chang'an City, then there are enough people who die in the land of Guanzhong.

Moreover, Guo Qin attacked the city for a year, and the city of Chang'an was already dilapidated, with more than 20,000 troops under his command killed in battle, fleeing and fleeing, and even the people in the city had no food, and they could be said to be creating evil.

Those who have not fled now are all veterans who have been following them for a long time and are preparing to die in Chang'an.

There are only 2,000 defenders left in the city, and all of them are wounded, and at most tomorrow, Chang'an City will be breached.

If it weren't for his own insistence, would so many people still die in Guanzhong?

If it weren't for the fact that he never thought about supporting the army and respecting himself, Guo Yan would still be able to occupy Guanzhong smoothly. Is the army besieging Chang'an?

Xu Rong turned his head to look at the military academy clustered around him, and couldn't help but sigh deeply for a while, and said, "Wait until dawn tomorrow." Open the gates and surrender to Guo Yan. There is no need to defend Chang'an anymore, so that the brothers have a way to live. ”

"No, General!"

A junior colonel said miserably: "The battle has been fought like this, it would be strange if Guo Yan could let us go, once the city is broken, the brothers will definitely be killed to vent their anger, and they must not surrender, even if they die in battle." It's better than surrendering and being killed! ”

Xu Rong said sadly: "With so many people dead, General Ben really can't bear to watch the brothers die in Chang'an City!" ”

The little colonel gritted his teeth and said: "General, you really can't surrender Guo Yan, the brothers have absolutely no way to live." Even if you surrender, you have to surrender Luo Zheng to have a way to live. Didn't Luo Zheng send people to surrender several times? It's better for the general to take the brothers out of the encirclement and go to Liangzhou to join Luo Zheng, Guo Yan will definitely not let go of the brothers, and there is only a dead end if he stays in Guanzhong. ”

Xu Rong nodded and said, "Okay, since you want to go to Liangzhou to join Luo Zheng." Then go for it! ”

As soon as the colonel agreed, he prepared to gather people.

However, as soon as he turned around and walked a few steps, he heard a series of exclamations. "General!"

Hurriedly turned around, and saw Xu Rong pull out his sword, with the horizontal sword on his neck, and pull it hard.

Burst!

The blood splashed, and Xu Rongxiong's strong body slowly fell.

"General!"

The little school's horrified souls all appeared, and the wolf howled and pounced.

More soldiers pounced, knelt down in front of Xu Rong's corpse, tore open their voices and howled, shocked and overwhelmed.

The battle has been fought until now. The soldiers who can still stay are all homeless. The veterans who have respect for Xu Rong have all been prepared to die in Chang'an. However, now Xu Rong drew his sword and committed suicide, and the persistence in everyone's hearts collapsed in an instant, and they were a little at a loss for a while, without the general, where should they go in the future?

Puyang, Cao Cao's official residence.

When the end of the year came, Cao Cao gathered a group of confidants to drink and enhance their relationship by the way.

During the banquet, talking about the general trend of the world, Guo Jia looked solemn and said: "Lord, Yuan Shu is powerful today, and the lord has to plan it as soon as possible, otherwise if Yuan Shu is allowed to pacify Yangzhou and sit on the land of Yuyang and Yangzhou, it will be difficult for the lord to want to do it again!" ”

Cao Cao sighed and said: "But under Yuan Shu's rule, there are already four counties of Yuzhou and Yangzhou, with 100,000 people, how can you plan it?" ”

Guo Jia said: "Jia has an old friend, said Xiping, the word Zhicai, now Wu County is too guarded by Sun Jian's account under the staff of the military, a few days ago Sun Jian sent a letter to the envoy, wanting to form an alliance with the lord to attack Yuan Shu, it is from this person's strategy, Jia thought it was completely feasible. ”

Cao Cao said 'oh' and said: "If you can be friends with Feng Xiao, you must be a great talent in the world, can you invite him?" ”

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "Don't think about it, unless Sun Jian is dead, there is no such possibility!" ”

Cao Cao said with regret: "It is the biggest regret that there are talents and cannot be used for them." Feng Xiao is right, if I set the Central Plains, Yuan Shu is indeed the biggest obstacle, and we must do everything possible to get rid of it. ”

Chen Gongdao, who was engaged in Zhizhong, said: "After a year of preparation, our army is now well fed and fully equipped with the prerequisites for foreign use. However, Yuan Shu's army is huge, and if you want to do it, you have to plan carefully. ”

Cao Cao nodded and said: "What Gongtai said is very true, the matter of sending troops will be discussed later, come and come, eat and drink!" ”

Cheng Yu suddenly said: "Lord, there is one more thing!" ”

Cao Cao said happily: "Oh, Zhongde, please speak!" ”

Cheng Yu said: "A few days ago, Xizuo sent back news from Liangzhou that Luo Zheng had swept away the eight hundred miles of Qiang Plain, and I heard that dozens or hundreds of tribes in Xiqiang were slaughtered, and Luo Zheng grabbed millions of cattle, sheep and livestock. ”

Cao Cao's face was a little gloomy, "Has Luo Zheng returned to Liangzhou yet?" ”

Cheng Yu nodded and said, "I have returned to Longxian." ”

Chen Gong said: "Luo Zheng is addicted to killing, I heard that there are millions of corpses in the eight hundred miles of Qiangyuan, this guy is really fierce, in order to completely eliminate the trouble in the western border, he did not hesitate to ambush millions of corpses, so evil deeds try to ask who else in the world can come out." ”

That's what he said, but there was no resentment in Chen Gong's tone.

Cheng Yu knew that Cao Cao and Luo Zheng had a blood feud, and almost all the clans were slaughtered by Luo Zheng, so he no longer talked about Luo Zheng, but talked about the matter of Liangzhou, "Lord, the fine work has been investigated, as long as the golden rice has been planted, it can not be planted again, according to the news transmitted back by the fine work, this golden rice was discovered by Luo Zheng, and the seeds are also in Luo Zheng's hands." ”

As soon as the people heard the mention of Kimmi, they immediately pricked up their ears and listened.

Golden rice has been cultivated in Liangzhou for three years, and with the continuous expansion of the planting scale, it has long been known to the princes.

Especially after this year's autumn grain was put to the ground, Liangzhou had a bumper harvest, how could it not attract the attention of the princes.

Cao Cao and everyone here had eaten cakes made of golden rice, which could completely replace wheat as food.

As for what attracted the attention of the princes, it was undoubtedly the terrifying production of Jinmina.

As soon as Cao Cao heard this, he immediately straightened his face and said solemnly: "What is the mystery of this golden rice seed, but I have inquired about the details." I don't know what the world is going to do, and don't the people who grow crops know either? ”

Cheng Yu shook his head and said: "I have tried various methods, and the golden rice that has been planted for a stubble really cannot sprout, as for the mystery of this golden rice seed, it is indeed unknown, and our army can't find out about it, but I got some seeds issued by the government from the people, which are no different from other golden rice. ”

Cao Cao frowned and said, "I don't know what the golden rice seeds are, how to cultivate them!" ”

Cheng Yu sighed, and he was a little helpless.

The appearance of Jinmi, I believe that all the princes are studying.

After all, this thing can not only be used as food, but the yield is really high.

The Central Plains is densely populated, far from being comparable to Liangzhou, as long as you can grow golden rice, no one will starve to death, and even if the people plant less than half of the field, they can produce more food, and they can save their energy to do other things.

In this way, money, food and materials will naturally be greatly enriched.

With enough food, more supplies, more newborns will survive.

It can be said that golden rice is definitely a huge change across the times, and the impact is not only on the high yield of rice food, but on all aspects.

Cao Cao wrung his brows and thought for a long time before he muttered: "Although Cao doesn't want everyone to mention Luo Zheng, this thief, but this guy is indeed a character, notorious, and he can still have today's foundation, which is really very human." I heard that there was a great chaos in Guanzhong, and many people fled with their families, but this guy opened a porridge field on the border to attract people to Liangzhou, and settled no less than hundreds of thousands of people. ”

Cheng Yu nodded and said, "Luo Zheng does have the qualifications to be a hero!" ”

Guo Jia said: "If nothing else, this person will definitely be the lord's biggest enemy in the future." ”

Cao Cao thought deeply and said: "What Feng Xiao said is very true, although this person was born from the grassroots, he does not act in accordance with the law, unscrupulous means to achieve the goal, and has the ability to know people, although there are not many martial arts under his command, but all of them are good generals, Xun Wenruo's name has also heard of it, so talented, he actually invested in Luo Zheng's account, it can be seen that this person is very good at winning people's hearts, not a reckless person." ”

Guo Jia deeply agreed: "Yes, even Yingchuan celebrities Zhong Xuan and Shi Tao were captured in Liangzhou, but they also invested in Luo Zheng's account for a few months, thanks to Xun Yu's work. If it weren't for Luo Zheng's wanton killing of the warriors, which was notorious, and he was far away in Liangzhou, I don't know how many people would have thrown in. Don't hide it from the lord, Xun Yu has written several times in the past, inviting him to go to Liangzhou, if it weren't for the long distance of Guanshan, Sili, Guanzhong, and Liangzhou have been in chaos, and they went to Liangzhou early in the morning! ”

Cao Cao not only didn't care, but laughed and said: "Fortunately, Luo Zheng ran away to Liangzhou, otherwise wouldn't I have lost my filial piety!" It seems that Cao's luck is indeed better than Luo Zheng's, and it is a blessing to be able to get the help of the public! ”

Everyone hurriedly humbled and the atmosphere was very relaxed. (To be continued) R640
