Yuan Rui's words were a little late, and the saint who was far away in Youzhou also heard a similar inference from another person.

After all, the journey from Weizhou to Youzhou was much closer, and three days after Weizhou was captured, the soldiers who escaped ran into Youzhou, and this news also frightened the saint.

Wei Guogong, Li Shuming, Gao Zhen, Sun Zhicheng, and several generals who accompanied the army gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"Holy Lord, it is really strange that Weizhou was attacked, when did the Zar people's fighting style become so weird!"

Li Shuming, the secretary of the military department, is also very strange, how are the soldiers of these Chaer tribes different from other grassland tribes.

"Saint, I've been fighting with the Thorn people for so many years, and I haven't heard of them daring to fight on foot, let alone any night battles, it's really different, the last time Yingzhou was attacked, I also chatted with a few old generals, it's a bit weird." Wei Guogong said the same.

"Your Majesty, the last general has an idea, could it be that the Chaar tribe went to the capable people, brought our tactics over, and trained the soldiers of the Chaar tribe." Gao Zhen pondered for a moment and said a bold point.

"General Gao, is there any basis for your statement!" The saint immediately asked.

"Your Majesty, the last general didn't, but these few times, as well as the last time the last general went to Yingzhou, I found that these Char people fought very well, and most of the tactics they learned were the tactics of the Central Plains, so I had this guess."

"What General Gao said makes some sense, what do you think about the current situation?"

"Your Majesty, the last general has a bold idea, it is too convenient for the Zar people to go south now, our biggest difficulty is that such a long border line cannot be prevented at all, and we don't know where they will break through the pass, we are too passive."

"Your Majesty, please see, our current three cities of Youzhou, Yunzhou, and Wuzhou are forming a forward breakthrough, and the position of Wuzhou is just behind the pass, which is very easy to become the main direction of the enemy's attack, and it is not easy to reinforce later."

"Your Majesty, look at it again, the three cities of Beidu, Xinghe, and Wanquan are just the opposite, Wanquan is delayed, and Wuzhou is behind it.

The northern capital and Xinghe in front are like two horns, directly breaking through the front, and the enemy army must attack two places at the same time, otherwise it will be attacked by the other two...... Looking at Wanquan again, even if Xinghe and Beidu are lost, Wanquan still has the strength to fight with Wuzhou at its back. ”

Wanquan to Xinghe is less than 200 li, Wanquan to the north is closer only 160 li, Xinghe to the north is a little farther, but not more than 300 li, it can be said that the three border cities form a complete defensive formation.

Gao Zhen was comparing drawings on the map while talking about his thoughts. The people on the side are all veterans who are very familiar with the situation at the border gates, and they immediately understood what Gao Zhen meant, and it seems that Gao Zhen's idea should have been planned for a long time.

The saint glanced at Gao Zhen and understood that this strategy should have been formed after Gao Zhen thought about it many times during this time.

"General Gao, what do you think should be done now!"

"Shengshang, the last general has an idea, that is, no matter where they fight, if they want to retreat to the grassland, they must choose the two places of Xinghe and Beidu, if we take back these two places directly now, the people of Chaer will be trapped here in Yanshan."

"Holy Lord, General Yang should still have troops there, if he can directly send troops to occupy Wanquan, it will be even better." Wei Guogong added on the side, Wanquan is only a hundred miles away from Wuzhou, and he can kill the city in one day.

"Your Majesty, what Wei Guogong said is extremely true, Wuzhou currently has no less than 30,000 soldiers, and it is not a problem to enter and occupy everything."

"Okay, then according to this arrangement, General Gao, you lead the troops to the north, and the defense of Youzhou will be undertaken by Sun Zhicheng for the time being, and the 50,000 soldiers in the capital plus the 30,000 border troops in Youzhou, a total of 80,000 people will directly march into the northern capital and Xinghe."

"Send someone to Wuzhou immediately, let General Yang arrange the defense in a unified manner, and at the same time send troops to occupy Wanquan."

The saint was originally a general, and his grasp of the fighter plane was very accurate, and he immediately made a will.

The saint knew that it was impossible for him to go to Xinghe in person, and so many officials under his command would not let him go to the front line in person.

The saint returned to the General's Mansion with some regret, and the guards came to report, and the Silver Eagle Guard commanded Qi Canghai to ask for a meeting.

During this time in Youzhou, Qi Canghai, the commander of the Silver Eagle Guard, conducted a thorough investigation of Youzhou's intelligence affairs.

In this process, it was supposed to be a routine inspection, but it was an occasional opportunity for him to find out one thing.

During this time, there were many merchants who were secretly doing business with the Zar people, and it was heard that there were prohibited materials hidden inside.

Waiting for Yinying to investigate in detail, he found that there was a border general involved. There is also a small detail in it, the materials of a merchant were transported from a point in Yunzhou, and it was not for Silver Eagle's strong personnel exploration ability, so it could not be found at all.

"What the hell do you mean now?" The Holy One doesn't pay much attention to these miscellaneous matters.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Youzhou is still carefully probing, I want to send someone to Yunzhou first, I have a worry, that is, will it be that Yunzhou has the internal response of the Char people these times!"

"You mean, the reason why the Tsar people have gone south so smoothly these times is because someone collaborated with the enemy!" The saint was also shocked, if you want to say anything else, it doesn't matter, if there are really border generals who collaborate with the enemy, it is not a trivial matter.

"Your Majesty, the minister is not sure, but there is indeed something strange about the accidents in Yunzhou these few times, and the minister wants to investigate in detail."

"Okay, give you the responsibility of arbitrariness, the general below the third rank can allow you to dispose of it yourself."

The saint pondered for a while, and found that it was really hard to say, if there was really a general who collaborated with the enemy, Youzhou would be too dangerous in the future.

The people of Zar really did not expect that in this case, the border army of Youzhou in Great Xia did not focus all their energy on defending the city, and dared to send troops outside the fortress, and they had not dared to be such a risky general for many years.

So when the iron vowel led the army back to the grassland from Weizhou, he found that the way was cut off by the border army.

There is no need to think about the old fort, everything has changed hands, and it is impossible to get out the same way. Xinghe is a road, and there is also a way to bypass Xinghe and come back from Ucha.

But if you go like this, you will be thousands of miles away from the Golden Horde of the Zar tribe, and now that the steppe has entered winter, the sky will soon change, and even snow, and the road is too difficult to walk.

Tie Plough knows that the more time is delayed, the more unfavorable it will be for him, and it is almost impossible to win everything in three or five days, Yang Wudi, a madman, will not give him a chance, he will block the more than 100,000 people who lack food and clothing, until he traps himself.

He found Totobu and discussed countermeasures, but he had no choice but to take advantage of the current time when there was enough food and morale to quickly stand out.

The idea of the iron vowel is to let the detachment not pull directly to attack Xinghe, if Xinghe is safe or can take Xinghe, then the iron volouel will lead the follow-up army from Xinghe to the Golden Horde.

If Xinghe has been lost, the army will not be able to return, and it will go straight from Xinghe to Wucha. Tie Ligu led the army to temporarily rest here in Xuanzhen, between Wuzhou and Xinghe, waiting for news.

Yuan Rui also regarded the news of the border pass as news, for these military layouts, he didn't understand and didn't want to think about it, he couldn't figure it out, if he wanted him to do something, it was better to plant rice, at most add potatoes.

As for potatoes, he just likes to eat them, he has never planted them at all, and he doesn't know his habits.

But there is one thing he remembers very clearly, later generations have read several books on time-travel, and most of the protagonists in them turned over with potatoes.

Of course, in the thousands of years of history of the Central Plains, potatoes, like many alien species, have effectively promoted the inheritance and progress of the Central Plains culture.

Whether it is potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and other alien species, it is impossible for the Central Plains to double the population in just 100 years.

Yuan Rui can imagine that if the alien species are well utilized, the population of the Central Plains region will grow by half rapidly, which is not a problem at all.

The rice around the capital has begun to be harvested one after another, and Yuan Rui found that the biggest gap between late season rice and early rice is that the harvest time is too different.

Generally speaking, early rice is planted a few days earlier and a few days later, and most of the harvest is less than ten days, and rarely half a month.

Late-season rice is very different, the early ones can be harvested in early September, and the late ripening rice is expected to be at the end of September.

Yuan Rui also found that there is a bad point in the late-season rice, the more mature these rices are, the higher the proportion of deflated ears, and the lower the harvest achievement.

In the past few days, he personally squatted in the field to carefully inspect, and found that with the time of harvesting, the yield per mu gradually increased from 403, and the difference of 10 days of rice yielded more than 50 catties.

Now he himself is confused, when it comes to the cultivation of these rice, he is not even as good as an old farmer, how can he know where the root is.

But there is one thing he can do, that is, those rice fields that are harvested in advance, he is going to let those old farmers try to plant some potatoes, anyway, they are idle, even if they collect dozens of catties to cook and eat, it is a good thing.

First of all, he gave a few large potatoes to some families who had idle fields, and specially told them how to eat them. Of course, for these farmers, the best thing is to boil it or just throw it over the fire and roast it.

His idea is to first make these people understand that they can eat this thing, can fill their stomachs, and are willing to plant.

For potatoes, the most vocal is actually Uncle Wang, but unfortunately he is far away in Tonghai Jijiazhuang, so Yuan Rui can only let Dashan, a half-hanger, follow the side, anyway, Dashan has been planted with Uncle Wang, and I have heard Xiaohe say how to manage.

Yuan Rui only saw in the book, either agricultural products, or looking at the strategies of those who crossed the protagonist, potatoes want to increase production, especially if you want to grow large potatoes, you must ensure that potato seedlings do not grow tall and lush.

He didn't have anything else, but he knew that the people of the Central Plains were the most diligent and intelligent people in the world, and as long as they were given the opportunity, they would definitely show their ingenuity and make potatoes all over the Central Plains.

During this time, when Yuan Rui was busy planting potatoes, there was an extra follower by his side, Xu Guangjun, the second son of the Xu family.

This is to blame Yuan Rui, when the family had dinner together a few days ago, Yuan Rui was eating shredded potatoes and talking to the family about several delicious ways to eat potatoes, so he naturally talked about potato vermicelli.

Indeed, Yuan Rui's favorite thing to eat in later generations is vermicelli, many of which are sweet potatoes, but unfortunately there are no now, but potato vermicelli is also good, so he casually mentioned that he will make potato vermicelli and sell vermicelli in the future.

At this time, Xu Guangjun, who was on the side, suddenly became interested, he knew that as long as it was the business that Yuan Rui said, he could make a big business by doing it casually, he became interested, and then followed Yuan Rui every day for many days.
