Except for a thousand scouts, almost everyone was involved in the work.
With the iron farm tools and livestock, the efficiency was greatly increased. In more than ten days, the original Si River was cultivated, and Li Yue had an additional 9,700 acres of high-quality farmland under his account.
After finishing their work in Sishui Plain, Li Yue led his scouts to clean up Huju River.
With fewer people, there are more wild animals, and Linchuan has more primitive characteristics.
We didn't see any tigers, but we did see a lot of wild deer and wild sheep, group by group. Looking deeper, we actually found a group of wild donkeys with a size of a thousand.
Looking at the wild beasts all over the Sichuan, Li Yue's heart moved, "There is no need to cultivate this place, it will be our pasture!"
To the north of Jijiabao, there is still a lot of wasteland in the upper reaches of Sishui River. The same is true for reclamation there.
Without oil and water, the consumption of food would be too great.
It's rare that there is such a treasured land near Heiyun Mountain. It was all bulldozed and converted into farmland, which was a waste of natural resources.
There used to be many wild beasts near Heiyun Mountain, but they were over-hunted and all of them fled into the mountains.
Li Yue learned his lesson and the water flowed steadily.
"General, Fangtou has sent a thousand pairs of swords, spears, bows and arrows, Chen Liu has sent ten sharp knives, and the Zheng and Wang families have each sent five armor and ten horses in return." Scouts came from the north.
Li Yue asked: "Guang Zong didn't respond?"
"Not yet."
Favors come and go.
Li Yue's original intention was to join the begging army, but Guangzong didn't make any move, which made Li Yue a little unsure of what they meant.
You can only ask Bo Wu for advice on this kind of thing.
Li Yuesui led the people back to the fort on foot.
It felt like it was inconvenient to have no horses. It was troublesome to go back and forth, and the scouts' delivery of messages was also affected. Now that we have the food in Jijiabao, raising dozens of horses is not a big problem, but dozens of horses cannot meet the requirements.
Thinking of the herds of wild donkeys in the Sichuan, Li Yue's heart moved and he tamed them so that he could use them reluctantly.
Compared with horses, donkeys have many advantages. They are not so delicate. They start eating grass fifty days after birth, making them easier to feed. They can also mate with horses and give birth to mules.
Thinking about it this way, it's not impossible to get a team of mule and donkey cavalry to make ends meet...
The Central Plains is located in the plains and requires a mobile cavalry.
Back at Heiyun Mountain, Li Yue's straw sandals were worn out and he changed his clothes before going to find Bo Wu.
This place was a famous scenic spot in later generations, suitable for retirement. Li Yue was busy fighting life and death at the foot of the mountain, while Bo Wu was leisurely wandering around and gained a lot of weight.
"Ordinarily Mr. Li won't care about us." Bo Wu said, stroking his chin.
Li Yue thought for a while and said: "Is it possible that when we attack Jijiabao, the noise is too great and Guangzong is dissatisfied? In order to avoid suspicion, they stay away from us?"
Although they are both beggars, their styles are quite different.
Those north of the Yellow River had long surrendered to Jie Zhao and were really begging for work. Those south of the Yellow River were those who refused to surrender and fled from Hebei.
Chen Wu, the beggar commander of Chen Liu, was defeated by Shi Le in Hanoi and fled to Chen Liu. Before his death, he left the last words "Don't do anything".
Bo Wu said: "In addition to being too noisy, he was also too close to the Di people."
Li Yue was stunned. Didn't he say that Fu Hong and Li Nong had a good relationship?
Bo Wu said leisurely: "Fu Hong was deeply suspected by Shi Hu. His sons and nephews were brutally killed on various charges. Everyone in Di was in danger. In order not to be implicated, the court naturally stayed away from them to avoid being suspected by Shi Hu too. Fang Tou They didn't have any good intentions in dragging us to attack Jijiabao, they just wanted to provoke Shi Xuan and Li Gong to break the muddy waters against us Han people."
The attack on Jijiabao was originally an internal matter within the Begging Army, but now that Fangtou's people have gotten involved, the nature has changed.
Just attacking a dock, there are actually so many doorways inside.
It's no wonder that Fangtou's people are so polite to him. It turns out they have been taking advantage of him.
"Why didn't uncle warn my nephew earlier?" Li Yue was a little depressed.
Bo Wu burped, "I reminded you, why don't we attack Jijiabao?"
Indeed, Jijiabao and Heiyun Mountain are at odds with each other.
From the perspective of Heiyun Mountain, Fangtou took the initiative to throw an olive branch, shouldn't he accept it?
Guangzong has Guangzong’s position, and Heiyunshan has Heiyunshan’s interests.
"This is just my guess. No one knows what Guangzong thinks. Don't worry too much. They will do what they do, and we will do what we do. If Shihu really comes, they won't show mercy!" Bo Wumi! Eyes opened.
Although people are drunk, their hearts are not.
As long as Shi Hu is alive, the beggar army cannot come together.
"My nephew understands."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Li Yue resigned.
As Bo Wu said, what Guangzong thinks is Guangzong's business. The two sides have different positions. Although they have incestuous feelings, they don't have to follow their wishes in everything.
Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Fangtou is right in front of you. If people take the initiative to come to your door, should you just ignore them?
Although it is a use, it is also a win-win move.
After the reclamation of the Si River Plain was completed, Zhou Qian led people to replant short-term crops such as bean sprouts and other short-term crops, and then led people to reclaim the wasteland north of Si River.
Hard work allowed the people of Jijiabao to quickly integrate into Heiyun Mountain.
Jijia Fort has become a thing of the past, so Li Yue simply changed its name to Sishui Fort.
In addition to reclamation, four small docks were also built on Heiyun Mountain, two on the west mountain, one on the south mountain, and one on the east mountain, all of which guarded the dangerous points.
The cliffs of Beishan are so steep that it is impossible to climb up unless you have wings. Moreover, there are beacons and observation towers on Beishan that are guarded day and night.
Various vegetables are grown along the streams on the mountain.
Almost everyone is doing their best to survive without any complaints.
Even Li Yue was tanned. He plowed in the morning, hunted in the afternoon, rode on horseback to patrol various open and hidden posts in the evening, and told the soldiers about the old events of the Qin and Han Dynasties in the evening to rebuild their national self-confidence.
At the same time, he did not forget to mix in some private goods. From the Gaoping Ling Incident to the regicide on the street, from the Eight Kings Rebellion to the Yongjia Disaster, he told the soldiers one by one the scandals of the Sima family.
The soldiers were filled with hatred, "I finally understand why the world is in such chaos!"
"The Sima family is so incompetent that we are reduced to mere servants!"
"Is there a more shameless family in the world than the Sima family?"
"That is, we do not expect them to be as wise and powerful as the emperors of Qin and Han, but at least they can be compared to the emperors of Cao and Wei..."
The soldiers were talking to each other.
The great dynasties in history basically had external troubles, such as the Xiongnu in Qin and Han Dynasties, the Rouran in Northern Wei, the Turks in Sui and Tang Dynasties, etc. However, the Jin Dynasty faced the disintegrated Xianbei, the Hanized Xiongnu, and the Wuhuan who were willing to be thugs. , and the Qiang Di who farmed and paid rent honestly.
As long as the Sima family had some kind of humanity, they wouldn't have been so miserable.
Even if the Sima family is miserable, the key is to drag the entire northern people into the water...
After telling the story to the soldiers, Li Yue had to study the art of war until late at night.
Wei Liaozi, Sima Fa and Wu Zi, every time you read them, you can deeply feel the wisdom of their predecessors.
Basically, the solutions to the difficulties that Heiyun Mountain is encountering now can be found in the book.
Li Yue knew that he was not a genius in military warfare, so he worked extremely hard.
Although the days are busy, they are also extremely fulfilling.
Occasionally, when I was immersed in the bamboo slips, I would look up at the two big flags on the wall: Drive out the Jie slaves and restore our country.
When more and more people unite under these two flags, it is not just a slogan, but the belief of many people.
