Chapter 319: Yuan Lian

The next day, Tian Fan led the army to set off, and at the same time, Zhao Yun also led the team to set off.

The army was fast, and the army went up along the fertile water.

Tian Fan saw the legendary Shaobei. Shaobi is named because the water flows through the Shaoting Pavilion, and it is a water conservancy project presided over by Sun Shuao, the prime minister of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period. Together with Dujiangyan, Zhanghe Canal and Zhengguo Canal, it is known as the four major water conservancy projects in ancient times.

This water conservancy project can be said to be the main factor in the prosperity of Shouchun. In an era when agriculture was the main industry, such a ditch system that could irrigate hundreds of thousands of acres of fields was enough to make any place rich.

Unfortunately, due to this year's severe drought, the water in several major irrigation canals in Shaobi is very small, otherwise it should be able to ensure most of the grain production.

In the afternoon of the same day, the army arrived in Dade County, crossed Feishui to Lu'an County the next day, and then went upstream along the river, and arrived in Lixian County on the afternoon of the third day, and on the fourth day, the army arrived in Longshu County, and the garrison rested.

After four consecutive days of high-intensity marching, even Koji Yi's first camp was a little unbearable. Huainan area is mountainous, although the big mountain range is only Dabie Mountain, but there are many scattered hills. Where there are mountains, there are rivers, and every time you cross the mountains and rivers, it takes a lot of twists and turns, which naturally consumes a huge amount of physical strength.

About 100 miles southwest from Longshu County is Shu County, and Liu Xun's 40,000 troops in Shu County are not a joke. When facing them, it is best to have good physical strength, so Tian Fan decided to take a good rest for a day.

The magistrate of Longshu County is named Yuan Lian, the word Yaoqing, a native of Fule in Chen County, and he was a famous celebrity at that time.

Hearing that Tian Fan's army was coming, he enthusiastically led the county elders out of the city to greet him.

The army was ten miles away from the city, and when Yuan Jian and others arrived on foot, the temporary camp of the army had already been set up. Tian Fan's big tent of the Chinese army was also cleaned up, and he was leading the generals into the big tent.

At this time, Liu Ye came, and he trotted over from afar, waving his hand and saying: "Boguang, Boguang, there are people coming to greet you, can you go out to meet?" ”

Along the way, Tian Fan has seen a lot of things about ordinary people driving pigs and sheep and eating pot pulp, and he enjoyed that feeling at first, but now, he has long been annoyed. As soon as he heard that Longshu County was coming again, he shook his head speechlessly, and said to Liu Ye: "Ziyang, you are good at these things, so you should go." After a few days of continuous marching, the soldiers are tired, and I haven't been to see them for a long time, so I have to go and see them today. After a slight pause, he continued: "Besides, every time we see someone who greets us along the way, they are the owners who exchange sesame seeds for watermelons, how can we have so much food for them?" When I, the Lord, see them, they will have to ask for food, and if they don't give it, it will not look good, and if they give it...... The mountain road is not easy to walk, the consumption of military rations is already large, and our military rations are not much! ”

Liu Ye hurriedly said: "Don't, what is it like for me to be a military advisor?" What people want to see is you, a coach! Besides, the county magistrate's name is Yuan Lian, the word Yaoqing, is a celebrity, no matter what you say, you have to give people a little face, right? After a slight pause, he continued: "The lord is originally a good lord who is benevolent and loves the people, and he will definitely support those refugees when he sees them, haven't you already urged the military rations?" What about giving them a point? ”

Along the way, I encountered several groups of refugees, some of whom returned to their hometowns after being persuaded by Tian Fan and others, but some of them continued to wander. Tian Fan sighed, the biggest difficulty in this battle is not to fight, but to relieve these refugees! Fortunately, Liu Bei has already sent people to Xiapi, and in ten days at most, the Tuntian army and small officials and a large amount of food will be transported over in a steady stream. And many local clans have also been persuaded by the people of Lusu, and he doesn't have to worry about the food problem for the time being.

Tian Fan shook his head and said, "Don't go, today you say that the sky is broken, and I won't go either!" It seems to me that it is clear that the soldiers need me more than the famous man! Alright, you can go yourself. By the way, don't forget to ask him to organize some people to help us get some water, the soldiers are too tired, so let them rest for a while. ”…,
