"How did the Prime Minister know that E Huan faked his surrender?" Li Xian asked.
Unexpectedly, all the officers in the tent shook their heads, indicating that they did not know the situation.
"In other words, E Huan casually chopped off two people and lied about Zhu Bao and Yong Kai's heads to pretend to surrender, and then the prime minister discovered the plan and asked us to wait for an ambush outside the city in advance?" Li Xian asked and answered himself, obviously shocked. In addition, I have no idea how Zhuge Liang knew these processes.
"General Qi, on the night when E Huan falsely surrendered, not only was Zhu Bao ambushed and defeated, but General Zilong led an army to block Yong Kai at night. Yong Kai was defeated and was stabbed to death by General Zhao on the spot." Gong under the tent. Outstanding list. This Gong Jie was brought here by himself, starting from a soldier, so he was not very cautious when meeting Li Xian. But the remaining officials didn't know where to start when they saw the new governor.
"Well, I finished reading the money, grain, and taxes in Jianning in the past ten years last night. The key point is that Jianning is in the south. Not only is Jianning not self-sufficient in food, even if taxes are reduced, the same thing will happen. If Lu Taishou doesn't deal with it, I'm just afraid that there will be a rebellion the year before last." Li Xian said slowly.
An official in the hall said: "As the prefect said, not only do these barbarians not like farming, but their folk customs were once fierce, and there were countless people who were good at killing county officials and rebelling. Sometimes we not only cannot speak clearly, but also talk too much. It can easily lead to death."
Li Xian also shook his head in distress. Only the city of Jianning, under Lu Kai's manipulation, looked a bit like a city in the Central Plains. In the final analysis, it was still a different region and a different culture.
Obviously, the first step is how to supply the 30,000-strong army with food and grass, which is a big problem. How to prevent the food and grass from being taken off by the rebels during transportation is the second problem.
In the final analysis, it is a matter of eating. As long as the common people in this world can have a hot meal, who will be willing to rebel? These days, to put it bluntly, if you have food, you will be your father. Look at Yuan Shu, who has such a shabby IQ. He dares to proclaim himself an emperor even if he has a surplus of food. Will he be able to master hybrid rice?
Wait, hybrid rice? Li Xian suddenly thought and was shocked. It was not that he had never thought about it. If the hybrid rice was successful this year, next year's harvest would obviously be enough to supply the entire Shu army in this large province of Yunnan.
My thoughts stopped abruptly here, not because I didn't want to, but because I really didn't know how to proceed.
"Prefect, General Tian has returned with a shipment of grain and grass. He said he brought a message from the Prime Minister."
"Pass it in quickly."
"Got the order!"
Tian Dali quickly walked into the lobby and said, "General, the Prime Minister is very happy to receive the grain and grass. He said that a grain truck will be delivered from Sichuan in the near future. General, please accept it."
"Dali, where did the prime minister hit?" Li Xian asked quickly.
"I heard that the Prime Minister captured Meng Huo last night and released him, letting him organize his troops to fight again." Tian Dali replied.
Li Xian nodded. It seemed that so far, he had not changed the general trend of history. It seemed that he could witness the seven captures of Meng Huo.
"What does this mean, Prime Minister? Why don't you just kill Meng Huo?" all the soldiers in the hall asked one after another.
"Meng Huo is the popular support of the barbarians. If you kill one Meng Huo today, there will be a second and third Meng Huo next year. If you cannot surrender, there will be endless troubles. Prime Minister, this is attacking your heart." Li Xian said slowly.
"Then we, the soldiers, sacrifice their lives just for the sake of Meng Huo's heart?" the soldiers below said angrily.
Li Xian raised his hand to signal the soldiers to stop arguing, "Okay, soldiers, now that we are not on the front line, we should think about how to ensure the safety of food and grass and not be harassed."
The soldiers were silent and went to the local officials in Jianning to answer. They mapped out the transportation methods and routes of the entire grain road in detail.
"Does that mean most grain transports now use wheelbarrows?" Li Xian asked in surprise, "What about wooden cows and stray horses?"
"General? What is a wooden cow and a stray horse?" the official asked in confusion.
Li Xian thought to himself, it seems that Zhuge Liang hasn't figured out the problem yet, that's all, we won't take the credit from him, we will do our own research.
"Gong Jie, take these officials with me to visit the surrounding fields in the afternoon."
"yes!"
……..
Li Xian fell asleep in the warehouse at noon. Not to mention it was noon. He had been sleeping since he came back from the banquet that day. Why not go back to Fushan and fall asleep? Because the house is occupied by Duanmuxue. I was asleep when I was woken up by a familiar smell.
"What does it smell like? What are you doing outside the warehouse?" Li Xian was obviously a little unhappy after being woken up.
The treasurer hurriedly explained: "General, I didn't wake you up on purpose. It was the general's wife who came in. Then Tian Dali and Gong Jie quarreled, so they both came over."
"We won't let anyone rest in the middle of the day. Why don't you tell me what happened to Tian Dali first? No, who came here to kill him?"
"It's the general's wife." The treasurer replied again.
"Fuck you, who is the general's wife? Prepare your horses and I will go to the military camp for a military parade." Li Xian said hurriedly.
The treasurer quickly brought a horse. The general was careful. Li Xian quickly got on the horse and went straight to the military camp.
"Stop!" a voice shouted.
"Miss Duanmu, the military situation is urgent and there is no room for delay. If anything happens, we can discuss it later." Li Xian said quickly.
Unexpectedly, Duan Muxue was really stunned. He stood directly in front of the horse. Li Xian quickly reined in the horse and was able to stop it.
"Are you going crazy? Aren't you afraid of a car accident?" Li Xian was shocked and angry, and quickly gave the treasurer a look.
The treasurer reacted for a moment and then understood. He immediately pretended to be surprised and shouted: "The general is in trouble, General Gong and General Tian are fighting."
"Yes, the military situation is urgent. Please don't block the way, girl."
Duanmuxue said angrily: "Do you know why they fought?"
"I didn't even go, maybe you know?" Li Xian replied.
Duanmuxue pointed and saw two people clinking glasses, but they still looked like they were discussing something. After a closer look, they were clearly Tian Dali and Gong Jie.
The two men came slowly, put their hands in front of the horse, and said, "General! You are here."
"Tell me, what are you arguing about?" Li Xian asked while riding on his horse.
"It's like this. The two of us were patrolling outside the city today and saw a tree. It was very dark. I said it was a big black tree. Unexpectedly, Brother Gong took a knife and scratched it, and the tree actually spit out white juice. He said He is Bai Shu, and we quarreled over this." Tian Dali said slowly.
"You two are sick, you are arguing over a tree... No, Gong Jie, what do you smell like? Why is this smell so familiar, a bit like a table tennis racket?" Li Xian looked confused.
"General, what is a table tennis racket?" The three people in front of the horse looked at each other, completely unaware of what the eunuch on the horse was talking about.
"Hurry up and chop down that tree!" Li Xian suddenly thought of many things in an instant, "Go quickly! Don't stop for a moment! Hurry up!"
"General, it has been cut down and placed outside the warehouse." Tian Dali cupped his hands and said.
Li Xian quickly got off his horse, asked the treasurer to take the horse back, and led the three of them to the so-called black and white tree.
"This is...rubber!" Li Xian suddenly laughed as if possessed by an evil spirit, "Hahahahahahahaha! Good general! Good wine! Good tree! Let's have a drink!"
