Chapter 232: General Sky Sword and His Sword
The busy time in spring has passed, and Tanaka can’t see many people working. The wind blows the fragrance of millet, mixed with some intoxicating fragrance.
“Oh my god, what a big wheat field!”
There was an old envoy beside Bao Liancai. He was dumbfounded when he saw such a big wheat field in front of him:
< br>"How do they cultivate? What to do with the grass? What should be watered? You can't just rely on the weather! And there are so many good seedlings, if they are not cultivated carefully, won't they turn into rotten grass roots? This is not A waste of natural resources? ”
"Probably not." Bao Liancai said: "People who farm like this must be well prepared."
Going in front of such a large field of wheat, Zuo Chen gently stroked it with his hand.
He felt some faint power of merit mixed above these wheat ears.
It’s like being born with it.
Seeing the power of merit, Zuo Chen also had a smile on his face.
This was undoubtedly the work of his old friend.
It seems that after spending so long, the monk finally developed seeds for efficient planting.
Good thing.
The power of these merits protects the wheat ears, making it impossible for conventional pests to peck at them and for weeds to grow around them.
The biggest problem in this large wheat field is probably that it is difficult to water and harvest, because the wheat field is too big and there are no automatic harvesting and threshing machines, so it will be difficult to harvest. trouble.
As far as Zuo Chen is concerned, these are more like potatoes covered in wheat skin than wheat.
The only problem is that this wheat also damages the land. If it is planted continuously, it is estimated that there will be another famine in a few years.
When you see the monk, talk to him about this matter to avoid any problems later.
Although wheat is magical, everyone still has more important things to do, so they continue to move forward after sighing with emotion.
This time, I didn’t walk for long before I saw several houses.
These few families stand among the wheat fields. It is indeed not too big. Calling it a village is a bit exaggerated. It can only be regarded as a small gathering place.
But although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. There is a fence around the gathering place, and there are several watchtowers next to it. There are soldiers standing guard on the towers, guarding the surroundings, and it looks like a small fortress.
Driving the carriage to the small settlement, soldiers immediately came up and looked at the people:
"Where are you from?"
"Coming from Yuzhou, we are going to Xuzhou City." Bao Liancai said.
"Xuzhou City?" The soldier looked at Bao Liancai and said, "Business? The reconstruction of Xuzhou City has not been completed yet. Almost all Xuzhou operations rely on New Spring City. Didn't you ask about it before coming?"
Interview In response to the question, Bao Liancai didn't have any nervousness on his expression. He explained with a smile:
"We are just businessmen who have just started running. We don't know much about the big and small things in Xuzhou, so we still count on it." Brother Bing, please tell us more.”
The soldier narrowed his eyes, as if he didn’t believe what Bao Liancai said.
But before he could continue to ask, he suddenly saw Cai Yi and Zuo Chen not far away.
He just lost his voice:
“Aunt...aunt!?”
Caiyi, who was in a daze on the carriage, shuddered after hearing this and looked at it subconsciously. The young man shouting.
Think carefully and recall carefully for a long time.
Who is this person!
But she saw the young man walking up to Caiyi excitedly, pointing at his nose and introducing himself:
"Auntie, it's me! Back then in the village, I had a big wind and cold. I almost got over it, but thanks to my aunt’s treatment, I was able to survive it, otherwise my life would have been lost!”
“Huh?”
Cai Yisi I thought about it for a long time, but still had no impression in my mind.
You can't blame her for this. There were too many sick people in the village at that time. Caiyi was busy in the village without stopping. She only remembered that she had saved many people, but how could she remember herself? Saved someone.
Seeing the slightly embarrassed expression on Cai Yi's face, the young man could probably tell that Cai Yi didn't remember him, but he didn't feel depressed at all. He just smiled and said hello behind him, shouting :
"Folks, my aunt is back!"
This loud shout spread directly throughout the entire gathering place, those young ones wearing simple armor The soldiers, the old people who were farming, the children who were playing on the edge of the fields, women, men, by name or by name, first gathered towards the door.
In just a moment, a large group of people gathered at the entrance of the village.
“Auntie is back?”
"Oh, that's really my aunt! There is also a Taoist priest!"
"Look at me! Look at my little son! At that time, my aunt gave him a mouthful of porridge, and he was so miserable. It’s continued! Look, look, this kid can walk now!”
“Kneel down and kowtow, Master!” My aunt is a follower?”
“I’m a follower! You didn’t follow me at that time. Most of my magical powers belong to the Taoist priest. My aunt is my disciple!”
"Ah! So that's what it is?"
This group of villagers were all talking and surrounded the donkey cart. Bao Lian and the others were pushed aside directly. Neng looked awkwardly at the two Zuo Chen not far away. Caiyi still had some embarrassment on his face when he was first called auntie, but when he saw the child standing on the ground, holding his thumb in his mouth and looking at him doubtfully, his heart felt very happy. got up.
At this time, the title of great-aunt no longer seemed like a shameful title to her.
On the contrary, it is more like an honor.
So she stretched out her hand and lifted the child up. The child was a little scared at first, but after seeing Caiyi's face, he seemed to recognize her and smiled.
Caiyi happily danced on the spot.
Seeing that there were more people around, the soldier coughed slightly and called out to the villagers:
"Folks, don't continue to make trouble around the Taoist priest and the others here, go quickly. Kill the chicken and go wash the rice! The wild boar we hunted has been cut up! I have to entertain the Taoist priest and my aunt tonight!”
“Okay!” The man called Lao Niu laughed and extended his hand again. A few young people nearby got up:
"You guys get some shovels and go dig out my daughter Hong under the tree at my house! I originally wanted to save it for my daughter to drink when she gets married, but I didn't expect my aunt suddenly came back! I have to drink it early!"
Cai Yi wanted to refuse, after all, they still had things to attend to, but Zuo Chen stretched out his hand and patted Cai Yi on the shoulder.
“It’s rare for the villagers to be so enthusiastic, don’t refuse their kindness.”
Hearing what Zuo Chen said, Cai Yi also relaxed.
It’s still early, so let’s rest here for a day.
......
At the evening banquet, the guests had a great time.
With the endorsements of Zuo Chen and Caiyi, Bao Liancai and the others no longer need to pretend to be businessmen. The famous brand said that they are here to assist Xuzhou. In this way, they will naturally be welcomed by the people of Xuzhou.
We all grew up from the ground and have very simple values.
When the enemy comes, he is invited to eat his sword, and when his friends come, he is naturally given wine and meat.
This has been the case since time immemorial.
As a result, after pushing the wine several times, the envoys were still drunk by the Xuzhou people who could drink. Now they are falling asleep on the ground next to them, drooling, probably I have to wake up tomorrow morning.
Zuo Chen glanced at them with a smile, and then looked at the young man in front of him:
"We haven't been back to Xuzhou for a while. How is Xuzhou recently? I heard that with Qingzhou Are you making a fuss?”
“Oh, it’s true.” The young man was also a little drunk, and his tongue was slightly bigger when he spoke:
"There has been a lot of trouble at the Xuzhou Border Office in Qingzhou recently."
"Can you tell me something?"
"Taoist priest, what are you talking about?" The young man laughed. , said: "As long as you ask, I will definitely whisper to you in detail."
He started to tell what happened during this period:
Since the end of spring last year, Xuzhou After the people cooked King Kang as a meat dog, Qingzhou sent many more soldiers to guard the pass and prepare for it.
"After the battle in Xuzhou, King Gou Shou was frightened. He thought that if we cooked King Kang, we might cook him in the future! So he simply sent his soldiers over and planned to eliminate Xuzhou. ! "
When the young soldier said this, his eyes were still full of disdain, and he looked down upon King Shou at all.
Zuo Chen probably knows what King Shou is thinking.
Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists, but the feudal king will probably not die.
Whether it is taken to Kyoto to exchange for silver, or kept as a hostage, the benefits are endless.
Kill the loss.
In the end, King Kang died like this, which scared King Shou out of his mind.
"If we can be killed and Xuzhou is taken, it will be a good thing for King Shou!"
The young soldier laughed twice and said: "Xuzhou has regained its vitality. After that, it is also a big place. If he can occupy it, he will have laid a foundation for himself. If he develops more in the future, he might be able to conquer the world!
"But! How can we Xuzhou people put their paws in? A checkpoint was set up on the edge of Qingzhou to stop those bastards from King Shou! ”
"Is there a fight?"
"It's a fight." The soldier said: "After all, there are still many people from the King of Shou faction, and their weapons are relatively elite. We will fight guerrillas, shoot them and run away with them. The enemy is deeply entrenched. Anyway, there is no place in Xuzhou except Xinchun City that they can't defeat. When they encounter some enemies that they can't defeat, they will call out General Jin Dou! Can't beat it!
"But..."
At this point, the young man also sighed slightly:
"It has saved me some trouble recently. ”
"How?"
"Seeing that he couldn't chew down the pass, King Shou was very angry. Some time ago, our spies came to report that King Shou called for his invincible General Tiandao to kill him. He was transferred here.
“I heard that General Tian Dao has a good sword, but it’s not easy to deal with.
"Huh? Taoist priest, why do you look so strange?"
Please give me a monthly pass
