General Pindi's Mansion, side hall.

Xun Yu and Cheng Ying looked at Jia Xu leaving his back and were silent.

Luo Zheng muttered: "Wen Ruo thinks that Jia Xu can have a chance of success in this trip? ”

Xun Yu shook his head and said: "It's not easy to say this, Dong Zhuo has a large number of personal guards in and out, and there are no less than 3,000 guards alone, how can it be so easy to kill." However, the situation in Luoyang is complicated, no more than other princes' territories, and there are Wang Yun, Huang Wan and others secretly plotting, as long as the timing is chosen properly, there may not be no chance to kill Dong Zhuo. ”

Luo Zheng said 'um' and said, "If it weren't for that, General Ben wouldn't have let Jia Xu go to Luoyang." I only hope that Jia Xu will not disappoint General Ben. Otherwise, if Dong Zhuo doesn't die, General Ben will only be trapped in a corner. ”

Cheng Ying couldn't help but say: "Isn't the lord afraid that Jia Xu will never return?" ”

Luo Zheng laughed and said: "Gongying is too worried, although Jia Xu is undisciplined and insulting for the sake of his life, but it is just a means to protect his body in troubled times, not the person who is cold by nature and does not care about his relatives." Now his family is in the hands of this general, and he will never return. Moreover, this person has been in the Xiliang army for a long time, but he has not been allowed to be reused, so what good can he do if he takes refuge in Dong Zhuo and betrays this general. Jia Xu is a smart person, he will never do stupid things, and Gongying can relax as much as possible. ”

Cheng Ying was silent and didn't say anything more.

Luo Zheng said again: "Hurry up and find out the troop deployment of Ma Teng and Lu Bu, and pay close attention to the troop movements in the two places." After the beginning of spring, no matter whether Dong Zhuo dies or not, our army must do its best to pacify Liangzhou. At present, there is a chaos in the Eight Hundred Miles of Qiang Plain, this is the best opportunity, otherwise it will be easier for Ma Teng and Lu Bu to recuperate for a few years. It's hard to figure it out again. ”

Cheng Ying arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, the lord will take care of it." ”

Luo Zheng said: "It's not enough to just find out the troop arrangements of Ma Teng and Lu Bu. also has to provoke more disputes between Ma Teng and Lu Bu, didn't Wen Ruo set a strategy of long-distance friendship and close attack? General Ben wants to take Ma Teng first. Lu Bu can take advantage of it, he can completely lower his profile to make friends, and even assist Lu Bu with some military rations, as long as he can provoke a dispute between Ma Teng and Lu Bu, no matter what means are used. It is best to let Ma Teng and Lu Bu fight first, and this general can sit back and reap the benefits. ”

Cheng Ying arched his hand and said: "Obey the order." ”

Xun Yu continued: "What the lord said is very true, Lu Bu can indeed take advantage of it. However, Lu Bu is a tiger and a wolf, and it is not impossible to help him with some military rations, but it should definitely not be too much. As long as the 20,000 troops under his command will not starve to death. Otherwise, if Lu Bu has no worries about food and grass, and then turns his head and raises troops to attack the lord, it will be a bad thing. ”

Luo Zheng nodded and said: "Yes, for specific details, Wen Ruo will agree on the details with Gongying first, and then report to General Ben." ”

Xun Yu agreed, and said: "If you take Ma Teng first, you can also contact Hanzhong Taishou Zhang Lu to send troops." ”

Luo Zheng said: "What Wen Ruo said is very much in line with the meaning of this general, how can Zhang Lu, an ally, not make some efforts." However, it is estimated that it is no fun to expect Zhang Lu to send troops to help in the war. At most, it will only pull Ma Teng's hind legs and involve part of Ma Teng's troops. ”

Xun Yu said: "As long as we can involve part of Ma Teng's troops, the pressure on our army will be reduced." ”

Luo Zheng said: "How to arrange it, Wen Ruo will do it." ”

Xun Yu should go down. He also said: "If you want to go down to the three counties of Longxi, Hanyang, and Wudu, you can't just have cavalry. Our army has more cavalry and less elite infantry, after a series of fierce battles. At present, our army has only more than 10,000 foot soldiers, and if it encounters a strong attack, I am afraid that it will not be able to catch it. Although General Gao Shun is quite capable of training. However, in just a few months, the 20,000 Tuntian soldiers were afraid that they would not be able to be of great use. ”

Luo Zheng rubbed his eyebrows and said, "This is not in a hurry." can only wait for the pacification of Liangzhou and then slowly train the troops. ”

Xun Yu nodded, elite soldiers are not trained in a day, and they are indeed in a hurry.

At this moment, a pro-soldier came to report, and there was a Xunfu family outside the house who asked for an urgent meeting.

Xun Yu went out, and soon rushed in with a happy face.

"Good news, lord!"

Xun Yu looked excited, and said loudly: "Jinmi has finally budded." ”

"Sprouted?"

Luo Zheng was also in good spirits, and said excitedly: "Okay, great, go and have a look." ”

Xun Yu hurriedly turned sideways to give way, Luo Zheng strode out of the side hall, and even Chengying followed.

Turn left out of General Pingdi's Mansion, next to the first house on the left side of the General's Mansion, which is Xunfu.

Luo Zheng strode forward, and a personal soldier had already stepped forward and knocked on the door of Xunfu.

When the porter saw this situation, even Shi Li was busy, and hurriedly flashed to the side.

Xun Yu walked quickly to the front at this time, leading Luo Zheng and Cheng Ying to a wing room in the west courtyard.

Several braziers were lit in the house, and the firewood was burning brightly.

In a large wooden basin in the middle of the house, a few emerald green shoots broke through the mountain, and it was gratifying to look at.

Although only a sharp corner is exposed, it is enough to explain the problem.

"Okay, if only it could sprout!"

Luo Zheng said: "It turns out that it is really a problem of soil quality. ”

Xun Yuxi said: "I don't know where the land comes from, so I will organize the people to carry the soil tomorrow." ”

"Ugh!"

Luo Zheng choked suddenly, a little speechless.

The soil is from the vegetable garden, where to carry the soil.

Moreover, there are only 100 acres of land in the vegetable garden, and even if you dig a hundred feet deep, you can't get much soil.

Changing the soil is not a solution, and it seems that there is another way to do it.

Luo Zheng paced back and forth a few steps, and said: "In this way, changing the soil is not a way after all, let General Ben think again, it is best to think of a perfect plan." Even if you organize tens of thousands of people, how much soil can you bear. ”

Xun Yu hurriedly said: "Lord, now that the New Year is approaching, even if the golden rice is planted late, it will have to go to the ground in April, and there are only three months left at most, so I can't delay it!" Whether gold rice can be planted on a large scale is a matter of importance, so please think twice. ”

Luo Zheng waved his hand and said, "Wait a few more days, let General Ben think about it!" ”

Xun Yu was helpless, so he had to say: "The lord must not delay it for too long, so as not to miss the spring ploughing." ”

Luo Zheng nodded and said, "Don't worry, General Ben knows it." ”

Xun Yu called the family and repeatedly instructed him to take care of the corn seedlings in the pot.

After Luo Zheng returned to the house, he immediately planted a handful of corn seeds in the flower pot in the inner courtyard, and took two bowls of water from the vegetable garden, one bowl of water was poured into the pot where the corn seeds were planted, and a handful of corn was thrown into the other bowl of water, and it took a long time to plant another flower pot, and finally asked the wives and concubines who came to watch to take care of it.

Gan Qian said puzzledly: "Husband, I heard that the yield of this golden rice is extremely high, and the production capacity per mu is 600 catties, I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

Luo Zheng said: "Naturally, it's true, but after this stubble of golden rice is harvested, it has not been able to be planted." Xun Yu has thought of all the ways to do this, and today he can finally emerge. But the husband has to try again to know in his heart. ”

Gan Qian said with a smile: "The yield of this golden rice is so high, if the people can cultivate it, there will be no famine in the world!" ”

Luo Zheng said: "If you want to put an end to famine, how can it be so easy. Even if he can plant it on a large scale, he can only let the people under his rule cultivate it. Don't worry about these things, women, but take care of the child in your womb. ”

Gan Qian sighed, and couldn't help but feel sad for those people who couldn't eat enough.

However, this kind of thing can not be solved by a woman, so she has to agree.

Next to him, Maho asked curiously, "Where did you get this golden rice, why have you never heard of it before?" ”

Gan Qian, Ren Yan, and Wu Zhen also looked at Luo Zheng curiously, wanting to understand.

It is necessary to know that the grain of the world does not produce grains.

This golden rice is not in the grain, but it is the grain of the whole world.

Not only food, but also the high yield is terrifying.

If the people of the world can really be allowed to farm, how can there be people starving to death.

And the first person to discover this golden rice is definitely worthy of the evaluation of the merit in Qianqiu.

Luo Zheng waved his hand and said, "This golden rice was discovered by the husband by accident, so don't ask more." ”

The women did not dare to ask any more questions, so they had to ask again about the details of planting the golden rice, so that the seedlings could be easily taken care of.

On the twenty-second day of the lunar month, the clouds dispersed, and the weather finally cleared.

Xun Yu was busy with his feet not touching the ground, and personally went to the surrounding area to check the situation of farmland and rivers, and if there was a river channel with strict siltation, he immediately organized people to clean up the riverbed, repair the canal, and even went to Lingju to check the construction of the reservoir.

As soon as the year passes, the weather will quickly get warmer.

This year's sting was early, and in February, the wheat was about to be planted.

The season of the year lies in spring, and farming is the great plan of the country, and it is not allowed to be sloppy at all. At this time, the important tasks of the government in all parts of the world must revolve around spring planting, and spring planting is the key to whether there can be a bumper harvest in autumn.

Luo Zheng was busy reorganizing the army, except for retaining the 3,000 old troops, the rest of the Qianghu cavalry were all reorganized.

At the same time, a group of generals were summoned and personally gave a modern military lesson to all the generals under him.

The theories of military warfare in this era were too simplistic and far less nuanced than those of later generations.

For example, when two armies clash, once their own side is killed, they will be dealt a fatal blow to morale.

This phenomenon is very abnormal for an army with a professional conscription.

Commanders are the core of an army, but they are not the whole of an army.

You must know that the victory of a war is won by the desperate bloodshed of all the soldiers, not the credit of the commander of the army alone. In a well-established war system, even if the commander of the army dies in battle, the army should not collapse.

There will definitely be an impact, but it should never be defeated.

Even if a general dies in battle, there should be a lower-level general who temporarily takes over the command according to the order of his position and leads the army to continue fighting.

The existing army is just that, the baked bread is not easy to rub, and there is not much plasticity.

Luo Zheng planned to apply these brand-new military ideas beyond this era to the new army that was about to be organized, and train a group of low-level officers who were more rich in military thinking and more flexible in war thinking, so as to bring out a real iron-blooded army.
