On the bank of the Jishui River, Zhang Shuo was accompanying Peng Yue to inspect the freshly reclaimed lake beach.
For Zhang Shuo, the new prime minister, Liang Wang Peng Yue is still quite satisfied, what he didn't say, this is a capable person, less than three months after taking office, the public security situation in Liang has greatly improved, Zhang Shuo has arrested a large number of people, so that the bandits and bandits who ravaged the counties and counties have basically disappeared.
Only when law and order are good can the people live and work in peace and contentment.
Judging from the official documents submitted by the county guards and county orders, the phenomenon of fleeing from the counties and counties that originally existed in the counties and counties is basically gone, that is to say, the phenomenon of population loss in the Liang State has been basically stopped, and now, Zhang Shuo has sent hundreds of officials to go deep into the counties and counties, and is counting the number of households.
Peng Yue is not stupid, of course he knows that population is the foundation of the country!
Now is not the time to just raise troops from Juyeze, at that time, the world is the world of the Great Qin Empire, and he Peng Yue is just a thief, and it is nothing to kill and destroy on a large scale; Now is not the time for Chu and Han to fight for hegemony a few years ago, at that time, most of the Liang Kingdom was still Xiang Yu's, and burning, killing and plundering was also to fight Xiang Yu.
But now, Liang Guo is his Peng Yue's, and the people of Liang Guo are his Peng Yue's people, and then let all kinds of bandits and bandits run rampant in Liang Guo, isn't that their own fundamental? Therefore, when Zhang Shuo proposed to rectify the law and order of Liang State, Peng Yue gave strong support, and even the general Liu Kou came to complain and was severely reprimanded by him.
In order to ensure that Zhang Shuo's public security rectification can be carried out logically, Peng Yue even sent Shen Tujia, the most brave and combative junior general in the Liang army, to Zhang Shuo as a military captain.
After the law and order improved, Zhang Shuo began to organize the people to plead for famine.
Liang country is located in the upper reaches of the river, the territory of the river longitudinal and horizontal, fertile thousands of miles, almost what is planted and harvested, and as long as the summer flood of the river is avoided, almost every year is a bumper harvest, so since ancient times, this area is the richest area in the Central Plains, but also the most densely populated area, almost can be said to be the birthplace of the Central Plains civilization.
Qin annihilated the Six Kingdoms, and the Central Plains region was basically not greatly damaged.
In fact, in the more than ten years after Qin swept away the Wei state, the population of the Central Plains region increased considerably.
The real disaster in the Central Plains began with the riots of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, which were always labeled as uprisings in later history books, but in fact, it was an outright mob rebellion.
Qin destroyed Wei and was backed by a strong, rigorous, and orderly state system, so it was able to take over Wei land well and make Wei land quickly become regular, but after Chen Sheng and Wu Guang seized Wei land, the two thugs only blindly destroyed, destroyed, and destroyed again, and as a result, the prosperous and rich Central Plains was turned into a miasma, and the people were not able to make a living.
After that, Chu and Han fought each other, and the main battlefield was in Wei, and after eight years of melee, the population of the entire Central Plains was greatly lost, and the countryside was largely barren, and the originally densely populated Central Plains was about to become a no-man's land.
Therefore, Zhang said that after the initial rectification of public order, he immediately organized the people to plead for famine, and it was about to enter winter, if he seized the time to open up a large area of wasteland, the sown wheat would be harvested next summer, and after the first summer grain was harvested, the famine in Liang would basically be over, and the people would no longer have to dig wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger.
Zhang said to Peng Yue as he walked: "Look, king, this piece of river beach is thousands of hectares wide, although it has been barren for several years, but it will be flooded by the river after the summer flood every year, so the fertility is enough, if all the wheat is planted, before the summer flood next year, at least 100,000 stone wheat can be harvested!" โ,
One thousand hectares is 100,000 acres, and one stone is 120 Qin catties, which is about 60 catties in later generations.
In other words, the yield of wheat per mu in the Qin and Han dynasties was only 60 catties, which was undoubtedly very low.
However, Peng Yue was very satisfied when he heard this, and said with great surprise: "Prime Minister, are you saying that only this piece of river beach land will be able to harvest 100,000 stone of grain by next summer?" โ
"As long as there are enough wheat seeds, it's not a big problem," Zhang said. โ
Liang is located in the Central Plains, the terrain is flat, the land is fertile, the cultivation area is extremely broad, if there is enough labor, not to mention thousands of hectares, it is not a problem to reclaim 100,000 hectares of fertile land, this is also Zhang said that he dared to accept the order in danger, because Liang is a treasure of the world, a little governance can be a bumper harvest!
"Wheat seeds are not a problem." Peng Yue waved his hand, and said excitedly, "King Qi is a person who speaks of faith and righteousness, and he said that he would lend us 5,000 wheat seeds, so he will definitely borrow it!" "Peng Yue still trusts Han Xin's character, but the interest charged by this guy is too heavy, he only borrows 5,000 Hu, but he has to pay back 20,000 Hu, it's really fucking black.
The two of them were talking happily, when Shen Tujia, the captain of the Guardian Army, suddenly hurriedly stepped forward, held a letter in both hands and handed it to Peng Yue, and said respectfully: "King, the general is in a hurry!" โ
Peng Yue took the book, and after reading it in a hurry, his face suddenly changed.
Zhang said: "King, is there something wrong with Bai Majin?" โ
Peng Yue didn't speak, but handed the book to Zhang Shuo, and Zhang said that after reading the book, he also said in disbelief: "At least 20,000 cavalry?!" When did Zhao form such a large cavalry army?! โ
"This is not Zhao Jun." Peng Yue waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "It's Chu Jun!" โ
"Ah, Chu Jun?!" Zhang Shuo frowned and said in a low voice, "The Chu army that has fled to Jiuyuan? โ
Peng Yue nodded, and muttered: "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, the remnants of Xiang Zhuang Xiao'er's Chu army were not only destroyed by the Hu people of Jiuyuan, but it seems that they even annexed the Hu people of Jiuyuan in turn, and it has only been half a year that such a huge cavalry army has been pulled!" Awesome, awesome! โ
"What can I do, my lord?" Zhang said.
As early as a few months ago, the king of Han had sent an envoy to come, saying that once the remnants of the Chu army in Xiangzhuang went south to the Central Plains, so that the Liang army could not let them go no matter what, obviously, the king of Han had long known that the remnants of the Chu army in Xiangzhuang had not been annexed by the Hu people, and also knew that the Chu army would leave Jiuyuan and go south to Jiangdong sooner or later, so he would send the envoy to come.
If the king of Han did not send an envoy to come, the king of Liang could pretend to be deaf and dumb and let the Chu army cross the border.
But now, the king of Han has sent an envoy to come, if the king of Liang is left alone, then there is some can't be said, at least there is a suspicion of disrespecting the king of Han, now today, although the kings stand side by side, but everyone knows that the king of Han is the head of the kings, in the end, whether it is the king of Qi or the king of Liang, it is still canonized by the king of Han.
Peng Yue pondered for a moment and said, "Immediately send the flying horse to the King of Qi for help!" โ
Zhang Shuo nodded silently, Peng Yue's move is undoubtedly very wise, in terms of prestige alone, no one in the world can be out of the right of the king of Han, he can be judged by force, but the king of Qi is the best at fighting! Therefore, if the king of Qi sends troops, then the king of Liang may as well follow and send troops, and if the king of Qi ignores this, the king of Liang can also ignore it.
##########
The next day, Peng Yue sent a flying horse to Linzi after a long drive of 600 miles, Han Xin got the news, and immediately summoned the general Cao Shen, the prime minister Wang Ling and the subprime minister Lou Jing to the palace of Qi to discuss matters.
After circulating the distress letter sent by King Liang, Han Xin said: "Everyone, let's talk about it." โ
General Cao Shen said without thinking: "As early as a few months ago, the king of Han sent an envoy to come, saying that once it was found that the remnants of Xiang Zhuang Xiao'er's Chu army were moving south, the king would send troops to intercept it no matter what, and the king of Han was the head of the kings, and the king should act according to his orders, so the minister thought that the king should send troops." โ
Yaxiang Lou Jing said quietly: "But the problem is, King Liang's letter for help also said that after the remnants of the Chu army in Xiangzhuang annexed the Jiuyuan Hu people, they have become a cavalry army, while my Daqi's army is mostly an infantry army, how can two legs run over four legs, and what can be relied on to defeat the Chu army?" โ
Minister Wang Ling said: "The mobility of the cavalry is strong, but we don't have to defeat the Chu army, as long as our army joins forces with the Liang army, and uses the river and natural danger as a barrier to block the remnants of Xiang Zhuang Xiaoer's Chu army on the north bank of the river, so that it cannot go south to Jiangdong to join the remnants of Xiang Tuo and Xiang Guan's Chu army." โ,
Lou Jing said: "The river stretches for thousands of miles, stop it, I'm afraid it can't be stopped, right?" โ
"Not necessarily." Cao Shen said, "As long as there are more beacon towers along the south bank of the river, once it is found that the Chu army has signs of crossing the river or building a pontoon bridge, it will be a beacon warning, even if the Chu army has tens of thousands of cavalry, what can it do?" โ
Lou Jing smiled slightly, no longer arguing, he had already expressed his attitude, Cao Shen and Wang Ling also showed their attitude, as for the end, it depends on how Han Xin decides.
Han Xin pondered for a moment and said: "The prime minister of the state stayed to assist the prince to supervise the country, and the general and the prime minister sent white horses with the widowed soldiers, and together with the king of Liang, they attacked the Chu army!" After saying this, Han Xin said again, "Send the envoy to Handan again, and urge Guan Gao and Zhao Wu to attack the remnants of the Chu army in Xiangzhuang from behind, there must be no mistake!" โ

Hakumatsu, also known as Hakuba Ferry.
Half a month ago, the Chu army entered Baimajin in a big way, and began to cut down and build ships, and at the same time build pontoon bridges.
Although the river will enter the freezing period in winter, the ice is too thin, and pedestrians walking on it are still in danger of falling into the ice cave, and it is even more dangerous for cavalry to cross the river, once there is a large area of ice collapse, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Fortunately, the river is generally not deep, so it is not difficult to build a pontoon bridge, after half a month of busy, the pontoon bridge has been extended to the river in the middle of the river, and in about ten days, you can reach the south bank of the river! However, the problem now is that Peng Yue has not replied until now, and it is still unknown whether he will be released or not.
If Peng Yue insisted on refusing to let him go, he would have no choice but to fight with Liang Jun.
After all, it is impossible for the Chu army to be stationed in Baimajin all the time, although the army food and meat are enough to support most of the year, and there are also large areas of water and grassland on the north bank of the river, and the Chu army has nearly 100,000 war horses and pack horses without any lack of forage, but Xiang Zhuang still hopes to return to Jiangdong as soon as possible and preside over the political situation of Great Chu as soon as possible.

PS: Say a few digressions, and find that there are many readers who are always entangled in a problem, the logistics of War Horse! There is a point of view, I don't know when it became popular, they all think that war horses are very delicate, in addition to eating refined grain, you can only eat specific grass, otherwise it will be thin...... Oh my God, if this is the case, what did the Mongolian iron cavalry take to fight from Mobei to Dali, and what did they use to fight from North Korea to Egypt? Could it be that the whole of Eurasia is covered with pastures? Or did the Mongol army go out with hundreds of thousands or even millions of wagons of hay enough for a year? Apparently impossible, isn't it?
In fact, Mongolian bantam horses are very adaptable to the environment, just like the mules raised in the south now, eating any grass in the wild can solve stomach problems, and even, the mare can in turn provide a large amount of mare's milk, and sufficient mare's milk is also an important reason why the Mongolian cavalry can be invincible!
Of course, no matter how adaptable the Mongolian horse is, after a long journey or a high-intensity battle, it is indeed necessary to feed the best grain, just like the mule raised in the south, after carrying four or five hundred catties of firewood and walking dozens of miles, it has to drink half a catty of rice wine to make up for it when it comes back, otherwise, it will not be able to bear it. ๏ผ
