Ningchuan, above the board wall.

There was a wall stack with his back against it, staring at a piece of silk paper in his hand.

"The project time has been extended. ”

Yougen frowned and sighed.

"Winter ploughing, it's impossible. ”

Liu Heng stood beside Yougen and looked into the distance outside the wall.

"Ten thousand acres of fertile soil, but it cannot be harvested twice a year. ”

"It's a shame indeed. ”

Hearing this, Yougen shook his head, his face bitter.

"Without winter ploughing, we wouldn't have been able to harvest corn during the rainy season this year. ”

"200,000 displaced people will have to eat tree bark. ”

Hearing this, Liu Heng frowned slightly.

He pursed his lips and swallowed again.

"Bark soup, I drank it in Caoyun County. ”

"That taste, it's very bitter. ”

Hearing this, Yougen pulled the corners of his mouth.

He folded the silk cloth, stuffed it back into the belt compartment, and turned his head to look at Liu Heng.

He hesitated, and quietly swallowed.

"Really, is it that bitter?"

Hearing this, Liu Heng grimaced, nodded heavily, and then widened his eyes.

He turned his head and glared at Yougen in shock.

"You haven't drunk?"

Hearing this, Yougen was slightly stunned and nodded naturally.

"yes, I haven't drunk it. ”

"Oh. ”

Hearing this, Liu Heng turned his head and was silent for a moment.

"You let me share weal and sorrow with them, and I saw that they drank soup quite well, so I asked the Chi Chief to get me a bowl. ”

Hearing this, Yougen was speechless and quickly changed the topic.

"We are strapped for food. The supply of the coalition army is not easy, but this year's tax grain can only be counted on the newly cultivated acres. ”

"No matter what. ”

Yougen turned his head and looked at Liu Heng.

"During this time, you have to get through it first. ”

"Yes. ”

Liu Heng nodded and looked into the distance, at the camp where the allied forces of the counties were stationed.

He observed the coalition camp, lined up in the playground, trained by the officers, and many patrolling around the camp. The horseman, who became more and more skilled, had a gloomy look on his face.

"They seem to be stationed for a long time. ”

"However, our army has to save grain, which is very detrimental to the war. ”

Hearing this, Yougen pursed his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he laughed.

"The situation of the enemy army is unknown, and Aomine's attitude is not clear. ”

"War can happen at any time. ”

"Although there is a shortage of food in the Caoyun Domain, the soldiers guarding Ningchuan. But you can't have an empty stomach. ”

"General. ”

"You can't let the horses run and don't eat grass. ”

Hearing this, Liu Heng was slightly stunned, and then turned his head.

He looked puzzled. Staring into the eyes of the rooted.

"There are roots. ”

"In Caoyun County, there are more than 50,000 soldiers stationed there, and there are only more than 10,000 guards here in Ningchuan. ”

"If it's for the sake of here. The grain stock in Caoyun County was transferred out, and in the future, more than 50,000 soldiers would mutiny. How does it end?"

Hearing this, Yougen turned his head, and his frowning brows gradually stretched.

"How can the grain in Caoyun County be adjusted?"

"Winter is over, but the coalition forces are not moving. ”

"No matter what their next step is, Ning Chuan, there is no need to seal it anymore. ”

"Relying on the river, let the soldiers collect more fuel, and I will open a trade route. ”

There was a hand on his hips, and he let out a long breath.

"If they want to come, come, if we can't beat it, it's a big deal to run away. ”

"In the battle of cultivators, the soldiers can only complement each other, if they are sure that they can defeat me, they will have fought a long time ago. ”

The corners of his mouth are slightly upturned, and he raises his head to meet the white winter sun, smiling.

"It seems that our real opponent is not ready to make a move. ”

"The coalition forces are afraid of us, but they do not hesitate to send heavy troops to garrison in front of Ningchuan. ”

"Someone must have given them hope. ”

"No matter who that person is, it's all about you and me. ”

"If we can't hide from it, then what are we afraid of?"

Hearing this, Liu Heng looked at the side face full of scars and bathed in the white sunlight, the pupils in his eyes moved slightly, and the vertical lines between his eyebrows gradually unfolded.

He turned his head and looked intently out of the wall.

In the waterway that surrounds the slab wall, the stagnant water is like a pool of pitch-black gel, more like jelly without a cover.

On the shore beside the waterway, on the green and yellow meadows, the sparse frost and snow are like a little dew floating between the clothes in the early morning when walking in the woods.

The vast wilderness reverberates with the noise of frogs and the low chirping of crickets.

"The coalition forces are stationed outside Ningchuan. ”

"If there is a trade route now, will anyone come?"

Hearing this, Yougen lowered his head slightly, his eyes looking straight ahead.

"Under the heavy profit, there will be brave people. ”

"But to feed more than 10,000 troops, there must be a continuous stream of brave men who come forward and follow one after another. ”

Yougen removed the smile from his face, and a fierce color flashed between his eyes.

"After opening the gate, I will go out of Ningchuan. ”

"For those brave people who came first, remove all obstacles and solve all stumbling blocks. ”

Hearing this, Liu Heng pulled the corners of his mouth.

"Whatever you want, just do it. ”

"As for Ning Chuan, here I am. ”

"Huh. ”

One chuckled lightly and strode to the wooden ladder down the wall.

He walked to the front of the wooden ladder and stopped.

"Now is the time of spring warmth, perhaps by providence. ”

"Let me fertilize the flowers. ”

"This year, outside the board wall, the flowers in the white sand area are definitely more vivid than in previous years. ”

With his hands behind his back, he walked down the wooden ladder and down the boarded wall.

Lakefront.

As the sun sets, everything in the world returns to the embrace of night.

The cycle of day and night is like this.

Countless torches, burning in the night.

Like countless scars that cut through the night, the dim light of the fire was like unstoppable blood, unrestrained and public.

Dressed in a mud-stained shirt, the light from the torch in his hand stared at the water in the lake.

His breathing was a little rapid, and his chest was constantly heaving, like a leaky bellows.

He stuck out his tongue, licked his chapped lips with the tip of his tongue, and raised the torch in his hand.

"Drain!"

"Drain!" ......

The people who answered the call formed a long line, and the undulating sound reached the back of the line.

A strong man with a shovel shoveled open the last layer of earth that connected the lake to the channel.

"Whoa. ”

The water of the lake poured into the ditch seven meters deep, and along the wall of the ditch, it rushed into the distance.

At the same time, fifteen ditches were dug up.

Fifteen man-made rivers ran along the ditches to fifteen low-lying places that had been surveyed by the roots and could gather lakes.

Gathered on the shore of the lake, a total of nearly 200,000 displaced people, and thousands of soldiers of the Liu family who were stationed there, all cheered.

It takes several days for the lake to drain completely.

When the water is drained, the bottom of the lake is cleared of silt.

There was still much to prepare, and much to pay attention to, but the homeless people seemed to see hope, and the cheers pierced into the darkness of the night in an instant.

On the second day, Yougen came out of Ningchuan and killed more than 3,000 cavalry soldiers of the coalition army, until the coalition army scouted and did not dare to set foot in the range of five miles before Ningchuan. (To be continued......)

PS: Hurry.

Night shift, there will be a chapter tomorrow night.
