The first time he dug down with a hoe, he saw a fist-sized sweet potato, and Cheng Yuan chuckled in his heart!

The reflex in his heart came to the conclusion that it was a pity that this sweet potato was dug up, but they had to prepare military rations for Zhu Di and them, and they would dig it if they dug it.

The food and grass of the imperial army are naturally enough.

The Yan army was relatively hasty, and the preparation of grain and grass was limited, and the grain was mostly produced in the south.

The northern Yan army suffered a loss of grain and grass, which Cheng Yuan and Zhu Gaochi both believed very well.

Hoes, bamboo baskets, and baskets are all placed in front of the greenhouse, because the weather is hot, Chengyuan did not heat the greenhouse, and directly covered it, and the effect is good.

Zhu Gaochi, who was standing next to him, took a few sweet potatoes and put them down, shook his head and said, "Sir, let us eat enough when you want." ”

"Wait for Jing to succeed, plant a hundred acres and thousands of acres, and eat until you are tired." Cheng Yuan picked up a few, put them in the basket and said to Zhu Gaochi: "Take these to the princess and the county lord to taste, the princess likes to eat them." ”

Zhu Gaochi smiled honestly: "How precious this thing is, how can I be willing to eat it, I can still fight if I take it to the soldiers to eat, let's eat it and let go of two farts at most." ”

Cheng Yuan shook his head, but still ordered someone to pick out a dozen sweet potatoes and handed them to the entourage next to him and said, "Send them to the kitchen, and they will be steamed for the princess to taste today." ”

Zhu Gaochi is an elegant person, and since the martyrdom, he has become more and more coarse, speaking and doing things casually, so that the soldiers like it more.

"Shizi, I have to bring a few more to Gu Dudu." Cheng Yuan was seducing: "Gu Cheng, I have observed him in the past few days, you have to exchange this person for kindness, and we have to win over good talents." ”

"By the way, the guards who escorted the grain and grass are not very manpowered, and they need to be arranged by the prince, so this time I will be replaced to deliver the grain." Cheng Yuan reminded.

"Well, sir, is he really going?"

"There are not enough people to escort grain and grass, there is no way."

Zhu Gaochi sighed with a smile, and pulled the corners of his mouth hard, in his heart, it was Cheng Yuan who should be treated preferentially.

When Xu Miaojin came over, there were already more than 30 baskets of sweet potatoes, and when she saw the sweet potatoes, she was surprised: "That's what my sister said?" ”

Zhu Gaochi said: "Little aunt, my mother is talking about this sweet potato." ”

Cheng Yuan glanced at her, did not answer, and continued to arrange for his entourage to do things. He didn't have much emotion towards Xu Miaojin, he just thought that this woman was very beautiful, and he didn't mean anything else.

Zhu Gaochi was leaving, but Cheng Yuan told him to continue to eat boiled vegetables, add boiled chicken, eggs, etc., and continue to exercise.

"Shizi, there are many families and children left behind by those soldiers, find a few masters to teach them, let those female dolls also go, and women can also go to literacy. Don't be conservative in your thinking. ”

Zhu Gaochi nodded and left.

Xu Miaojin said: "Cheng Guan, I have something I want to ask you." ”

It's over, the young lady of the Guogong family is difficult, and it will be no good to find herself, Cheng Yuan was full of anxiety, and stepped forward and said, "Miss Xu." ”

"Isn't it teaching literacy, I might be able to teach children." Xu Miaojin asked.

"Of course you can, but I hope Miss Xu can persevere, and don't teach according to her temperament." Cheng Yuan said firmly.

Xu Miaojin was not convinced, this person really can't speak, what does it mean to be casual, isn't it the last time I had trouble with him.

"Miss Xu, those children are handed over to you. Come and discuss with me or the prince of the world about something. After Cheng Yuan finished speaking, he went to the theater to watch the soldiers make weapons.

When it was dark, the county lord of Ancheng came over with a mahogany food box, laid out a few dishes, and put a pair of chopsticks: "It's time to eat." ”

Cheng Yuan glanced at her and said, "Today, you asked the kitchen to make food again, so you don't have to break the bank." ”

The county lord of An Cheng glanced at him: "You can't always accompany your eldest brother to eat boiled vegetables every day?" I've prepared your favorite dish and eaten it hot. ”

Cheng Yuan looked at her: "What do you think I do?" ”

An Cheng pointed to his shoulder: "This robe is off the line, and you are still wearing it?" ”

"The county lord gave me, of course, I have to wear it." Cheng Yuan took it off and handed it to her: "You made the dish?" ”

"I ...... Not. Lord An Cheng said: "What's wrong with this smell?" ”

"It's a little salty, and the cook is salty." Cheng Yuan gnawed on the ribs, and saw the county lord An Cheng put the plate into the food box: "Then don't eat it." ”

Cheng Yuan: "............"

"Big brother said, you want to bet the third batch of grain and grass to Zhending?" Lord Ancheng was worried, but he couldn't say it arrogantly.

"Don't worry, the county lord, originally I stayed with the king of Xiang to guard Beiping City, but now that the governor of Chengdu is here, the grain and grass there are not enough for the prince, I have to go."

"When to go?"

"Let's go tonight."

…………………………

Geng Bingwen is a veteran of the battlefield, and he naturally has no combat experience, he knows that although Zhu Di is young, he is by no means an idle person.

And because he was the son of the first emperor, he really couldn't do anything to Zhu Di.

Geng Bingwen felt that Zhu Di did not have enough manpower, the consumption of grain and grass these days was definitely very large, and there were not enough miscellaneous guards, as long as he kept the truth, then there would be nothing to do, and he would win.

Zhu Di's official yamen in Xiongxian County did not grab grain and horse feed, and it rained heavily overnight in the past few days, and the road was very difficult to walk.

Because of the rain, both armies will suffer losses to varying degrees, Geng Bingwen knows that he can't afford to fight against Zhu Di, and he must fight quickly, even if it is an earth-shattering attack.

Therefore, even if it rained in the past few days, Geng Bingwen still patrolled the camp, mobilized all his troops, and was ready to fight Zhu Di at any time.

…………

After six consecutive days of heavy rain, the water of the Tuo River has begun to rise rapidly, and the heavy rain has not stopped.

Zhu Di, Dao Yan and Zhang Yu sat in the tent to discuss things, Zhu Gaoxu wiped the rain on his face and came in and said, "Old man, look who is coming." ”

In the rain, Cheng Yuan's face was already covered in yellow mud, and Zhu Di hurriedly stood up: "Boy." What are you doing here. ”

Cheng Yuan said: "I prepared more than 30 baskets of sweet potatoes for the prince, and there are also grains and forage covered with oiled paper, and the wetting is not terrible." ”

Dao Yan was slightly surprised, with such a heavy rain, Cheng Yuan actually came with the guards Lian Yu, and hurriedly invited Cheng Yuan to sit down in the middle tent.

"Zhang Yu, go boil a big bucket of water." Zhu Di hugged Chengyuan without disgust: "Later, this king will rub your back." ”

Cheng Yuan said: "This ...... Lord, it's better for me to do it myself. ”

Zhu Di said: "I'll give you back today." ”

Half an hour later, Cheng Yuan lay on the edge of the barrel and said, "Lord Wang, according to you, Geng Bingwen and they are also consumed by heavy rain?" ”

Zhu Di took a cloth towel and rubbed him in the bath and said: "I look at the old general Geng and want to drag me, there is heavy rain in the sky, and it has been a long time, which is not good for the Yan army." ”

Compared with other young generals, Geng Bingwen is simply sitting firmly on Mount Tai, and Cheng Yuan can also hear that Zhu Di does not want to force Geng Bingwen too much.

"Old General Geng deserves the admiration of the prince, but the two armies are fighting, he represents Jianwen, if the prince hesitates, we and the Yan army will have to die for the prince's kindness."

Zhu Di finished taking a bath and sat on the stool: "He didn't force this king to a dead end, this move this king thought of this kindness in his heart." ”

"Is there a way to get him to surrender?" Zhu Di looked at Cheng Yuan hopefully.

Cheng Yuan shook his head: "Geng Bingwen will not surrender, but he can force the court to change the commander!" ”
