A happy event like Liu Ye's is naturally indispensable to Liu Bei, and a happy event like Liu Bei's is naturally indispensable to Guan Zhang. Then everyone who stayed behind in Fenggao came, including Zhao Yun and Cookie who had just returned from Licheng.
By the way, although Cookie has a weird personality, he really attaches great importance to agriculture. I heard that Zhao Yun traveled all over Mount Tai to collect all the technologies that can increase food production, so he didn't stay in Fenggao for a long time and went to work the next day. After going to Licheng, he needed to understand all the plans and then obtain the best farming method.
Cookie's teaching method is very simple. Cang is practical and knows etiquette. It is the simplest and most practical way. Therefore, Cookie needs high-quality farming methods and high-quality seeds. His teaching method is that everyone is full. , sit down and naturally have time to study etiquette.
As for the things Cookies read in books before, Cookies are all castles in the air. Others can’t even eat enough. Why do you want others to know the book and be courteous? Are you kidding, this is not realistic at all! Be realistic, it would be more realistic to sit down and talk about how to keep people fed.
It took about five days for the cookies to absorb everything Zhao Yun could. Then Chen Xi sent an order for Zhao Yun to come back and prepare for summer planting. The north was handed over to Zang Ba and Taishi Ci for protection.
As for why Zhao Yun is asked to come back, the reason is very simple. Zhao Yun has prestige. After the summer planting last year, the people of Mount Tai recognized Zhao Yun. As long as Zhao Yun asked how to plant, they would definitely approve it. If it were someone else, don't think that the people would approve it. After all, It was last year that Zhao Yun became familiar enough and did well enough to earn a living in various places in Mount Tai.
Therefore, all of Cookie's unreasonable farming techniques fell on Zhao Yun. Only Zhao Yun could promote it. If Cookie had to rely on himself, no one would believe it. After all, the land determines next year's food, so if he doesn't sincerely agree, Han The people of the DPRK would rather seek stability than try ways to increase production. Who dares to gamble with their own lives when they still have food to eat?
Cookie was also a little helpless about this, quite helpless like "I originally wanted to look at the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch", but he didn't express anything. Instead, he expressed his gratitude to Zhao Yun. It can be seen that this guy also He is not the kind of guy who is arrogant and looks down on others, although he is a bit young and frivolous.
Not long after the banquet started, Fazheng walked in with a messy hair and a hair crown. He grabbed something casually and ate it. Fazheng was exhausted to death in the past ten days. He had to think about Cao Cao in Yanzhou every day. What exactly do you want to do? The fight against Yuan Shu has almost become a foregone conclusion. How to fight, how to start, and what the reason is for starting the fight. Until now, Fa Zheng's head is in a mess.
Neither Guo Jia nor Jia Xu gave Fa Zheng a heads up. Jia Xu felt it was too hot when he accepted the intelligence department. On the first day, he did not handle the intelligence by himself and handed it over to Liu Bei and Chen Xi just to avoid suspicion.
Jia Xu knew very well that although he was a man without a master, he was still a bit jealous when he came to Liu Bei in a prominent position. Even with the checks and balances of Guo Fengxiao in his spare time, Jia Xu did not want to leave a trace to others. bad impression.
Therefore, Jia Xu did not take over directly, but only became the highest officer. After confirming with Guo Jia, the power was delegated to Fazheng. It could be regarded as training Fazheng while getting familiar with the current situation of Liu Bei's men.
Guo Jia hoped that Fa Zheng could complete this incident independently. As long as he passed the intelligence level and could see some clues in the hands of Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Xi Zhicai and others, it would mean that Fa Zheng was legitimate. It's really a promising future.
As for whether to make arrangements or not, Jia Xu and Guo Jia pretended not to see it. Whether Cao Cao swallowed Lu and provoked Yuan Shu, or threatened Xuzhou, it would be good for Mount Tai. Xuzhou, a grain-producing area, must Only by in-depth integration with Taishan, this is the unified thought of all Taishan's advisers.
Guo Jia knew very well that Fazheng's focus was now on Yingchuan, not only because Yingchuan was the hometown of Cao Mengde's main civil servants, but also because by conquering Yingchuan and Jingzhou regaining Nanyang County, the two sides would be able to form an alliance. After that, Yuan Shu thought It has become very difficult to seize any county and city, and with Jingzhou's food, the biggest problem can be solved instantly and take-off can be achieved.
But Guo Jia knows better. According to Cao Mengde's character, when preparations for the summer harvest are approaching, he will never stare at the tightly defended Yingchuan!
The reason is very simple. Cao Cao does not have that many troops to take Yingchuan. To be precise, he does not have that many veterans!
Liu Dai died in the battle and was taken away with the Yanzhou veterans. Originally, Cao Mengde had killed all the veterans when he was chasing Dong Zhuo. This led to the fact that after Cao Mengde took over Yanzhou, although he had a group of fierce generals, he could only fight with the wind. In battle, recruits cannot fight a tough battle. Even if there is a strong general in command, it is difficult to change the situation that is about to collapse. They may also take the strong generals to escape together. Even if the new recruits are placed in front, even the veterans behind may be scattered!
In short, without training for a year and a half, and without experiencing several battles, the new recruits can only be used for appearance, which is why Cao Cao is so embarrassed now.
As for Taishan, it is much better. There are many veterans. Moreover, when Chen Xi was organizing the establishment, each veteran who had killed and seen blood could lead up to two recruits. That is why Chen Xi clearly has more than 10,000 veterans who came to Taishan, and only now have they arrived. There are less than 40,000 regular troops who can actually take action.
However, after this wave of veterans are trained, it will be much easier to expand. Just put a few people into each veteran corps and it will be enough.
After all, now that there is a Qingzhou, 40,000 regular troops are not even enough to defend the pass, so they must be expanded. As for the field soldiers, Chen Xi has never calculated them. The combat effectiveness of those arms is really just to scare people. They can only use Come to capture prisoners, guard the rear and so on. If we really fight, we can only pretend.
Everyone has feelings about these things. Lieutenants such as Zang Ba, Taishi Ci, and Sun Guan who have not yet been promoted to regular positions are waiting for the summer harvest. After the summer harvest, they will have food and grass, and they will be able to become commanders and then lead their own troops. Train hard and officially show your banner. As for the horses needed by various ministries, Zang Ba and others have already sorted them out. The Xiliang war horses Hua Xiong grabbed and Gongsun Bogui's return gift combined are more than enough.
However, Taishi Ci and Zang Ba had absolutely no confidence in being able to train such an advanced unit as cavalry. The only people in Mount Tai who could train this type of unit were Zhao Yun and Hua Xiong. It was obvious that Zhao Yun, who was going to be promoted as a civil servant during the summer harvest and summer farming period, was sure It's unreliable. He can only rely on Hua Xiong to get by. Thinking about the cavalry that takes two to three years to form, Zang Ba's face turns green. He has a way of sharing a thousand cavalry from Hua Xiong. Then he gave his horse to Hua Xiong and let Hua Xiong practice it on his own. It was regarded as a gift to his lieutenant. (To be continued.)
