In fact, even Liu Fan himself didn't know that he had become more and more dependent on Xu Shu. It's just that the authorities are fascinated, and the bystanders are clear, but Zhang Ren is like a fire.

I couldn't help sighing: This person has a bright future...... Of course, the premise is that Yizhou is not lost.

"I'm afraid it's not easy." Xu Shu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "There are tens of thousands of defenders in the city, and now with Liu Bei's 20,000 elites to help, we no longer have any advantage." Don't talk about siege, even if it is a head-to-head battle, it may not be able to win. ”

Finally, he added: "If Jia Long and others had been taken down in Chengdu, there would not have been so much trouble today." ”

As Jia Long and others learned the news in advance, suspicions arose within Liu Yan's group, suspecting that there were traitors among them.

However, no one ever suspected Xu Shu, because he had been preventing Liu Fan and Jia Long from turning against each other from beginning to end.

As soon as Liu Fan heard this, he scolded angrily: "I don't know which one eats something inside and out, if I find out who it is, I have to skin him and cramp him." ”

Xu Shu couldn't help but feel a little weak when he heard this, because he was the one who ate inside and out......

Zhang Ren also clenched his sword: "If it is found out, he will definitely cut off his head with his own hands!" ”

Xu Shu: ......

He hurriedly changed the subject: "The vanguard of our army was defeated and retreated, and the morale was unstable, so I proposed to hold on without a fight for the time being. Judging from the current situation, only by asking the lord for help can Jia Long and Ren Qi's rebellion be swept away. ”

Zhang Renshen thought that under the premise of the setback in the first battle, it would be difficult to break through a fortified city with the same number of troops, so he echoed: "I agree with this proposal, if you want to defeat Huang Zhong and quell the rebellion of Jia Long Renqi, at least 50,000 reinforcements are needed. ”

"Okay, I'll send a message to my father."

Liu Fan immediately began to write letters.

……

"In my opinion, how should this battle be fought?"

Huang Zhong was also worried about the battle situation, and Liu Bei only said one sentence to him before leaving: the general still needs to be prepared to stay in Shu for a long time, and this battle is short and half a year, and more is difficult to estimate.

Jian Yong said with a smile: "General, relax, you can train and train soldiers when you have nothing to do on weekdays, and you can eat and live here......"

Then he added: "If you have nothing to do, you can have a drink, but it has to be in private." ”

In view of the fact that this battle was to maintain the stalemate, Liu Bei gave Huang Zhong great convenience. Of course, this is also because he understands Huang Zhong's personality and knows that he will not go too far.

Huang Zhong said with a straight face: "You are not allowed to drink alcohol in the army, since I am a general, how can I defy the law?" ”

Ma Chao on the side moved his mouth, but he didn't say anything after all. In fact, he is quite in favor of Liu Bei's acquiescence privilege, drink and have a good time!

However, Huang Zhong, the main general, refused, how could he speak as a deputy general?

As a result, the two sides fell into a long-term stalemate.

……

Chang'an, Guo Fu.

Guo Jia didn't have much hope of finding potatoes and sweet potatoes, because the Americas were too far away, and the seafaring ability of this era was really limited.

However, this disappointed expectation was revived with the return of an "old beggar".

The reason why Nanhua Lao Immortal is called an immortal is because he has the appearance of a fairy wind bone, just like a fairy in the game world.

However, today, he is disheveled and ragged, like a beggar on the street, how can he still look like an immortal?

Early in the morning, there was a knock on the door of Guo's mansion.

"Who are you?"

"I am ...... Nanhua old fairy is also! ”

"Where did the stinky beggar come from, who dares to pretend to be our old immortal?"

The next person was furious, thinking that this person was insulting his IQ, how could the old immortal look like this?

He was about to beat the man out, but he saw the old beggar raise his hand and lift the long hair that fell down.

"Do you think I look like me?" The old beggar grinned and smiled inscrutablely.

"It's really the old fairy in front of him, the villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, please forgive the old immortal for his sins......"

"It's okay, take me to see Guo Feng...... Captain! ”

Nanhua Old Immortal has such experience, how can he care about such a trivial matter.

"Who are you?" Guo Jia didn't recognize the old fairy at the first glance.

"I am ......"

"I see!"

Guo Jia reacted instantly when he heard the tone, and his eyes subconsciously fell on the large package on the other party's back.

"It's ......"

Although he had already guessed the answer in his heart, he still wanted to confirm it again.

Nanhua Old Immortal smiled: "It is the potatoes and sweet potatoes that Taiwei misses in his heart." ”

"Really?"

"It's true!"

"Really?"

"It's true!"

Guo Jia breathed for a moment, and then saw Nanhua Lao Xian slowly put down the package and opened it, touching his eyes a little bit.

Although the appearance is very different, he can still be sure that this is a potato and a sweet potato, but because of the different periods, the appearance is also different.

But it doesn't matter anymore, it doesn't matter if you look good or not, you just need to eat it.

Guo Jia calmed down and asked, "Just bring back so much?" ”

"What's more...... It's all piled up in the warehouse, and the others can't walk anymore. ”

"Then why are you leaving?"

Guo Jia was surprised, this old man's leg strength was even stronger than that of a young man?

"This is the work of the old immortal!"

Nanhua Old Immortal paused, with a trace of sadness on his face, and continued: "However, because of the wind and waves encountered on the way, most of the people who went there fell into the sea. ”

Guo Jia sighed in his heart, and then said with a straight face: "These people are all heroes who have dedicated their lives for future generations, the Han will not treat them badly, and their merits will bless the descendants." ”

After a pause, he asked, "But you don't understand the language, how can you get these from their mouths?" ”

"They were interested in our weapons, and despite the language barrier, they also completed the barter deal."

"I see."

Guo Jia nodded, but in fact, he didn't approve of this approach in his heart.

Those who are not of my race will have different hearts.

But it doesn't matter anymore, if Dahan can always be at the forefront of science and technology, a few swords will not matter.

Guo Jia immediately ordered someone to inform Liu Bei, who had already learned from him about the amazing yield of this grain, and immediately put down his official duties and rushed to Guo's mansion with Xun Yu and Jia Xu as soon as possible.

"This is the potato and sweet potato that Bonghyo said?" Liu Bei asked, although the appearance of this grain is really not good-looking, he is by no means a person who sees things by color.

"Exactly."

"Can you try it?"

"I have no choice, I'll cook today."

A few hours later, a feast with the theme of potatoes and sweet potatoes began in Guo's mansion, such as stewed pork ribs with potatoes......

Of course, Guo Jia's cooking skills are limited, and most of them only play the role of guides.

After eating, everyone still feels that the aftertaste is endless.

Xun Yu praised: "The taste of this thing is acceptable, but the fly in the ointment is ......"

Burst!

Jia Xu suddenly let out a fart and answered the latter words for him. Even as a Gou Daoist, he is a little shy.

The crowd laughed.

"The sky is clear today, why is the thunder rolling?"
