Three Kingdoms

The mansion of the Han hussar general.

"Where's Qiang Zhui?" What about the copper pot? Bring it out! ” After entering the Hussars General’s backyard, Pang Tong regained some energy after washing and bathing. He started to scream like a hungry wolf looking for food, “I feel like I can eat a sheep now.” ! A whole sheep! 』

Fei Qian finished his bath earlier and now changed into clean clothes. He was sitting in front of the hall in the backyard, making tea and drinking.

"Ha ha……"

Fei Qian smiled, asked Pang Tong to sit down first, and handed Pang Tong a cup of tea.

In private, Fei Qian still likes to be more easy-going like this, without having to deliberately create any superiority or inferiority. Sometimes it is a good thing to have class distinctions, but not all are good things. As long as public and private affairs are separated, Fei Qian feels like this The way of getting along with each other is actually not bad.

After taking two sips of tea, Fei Qian chuckled and said, "Qiang cooked, don't worry, there will definitely be some later... Let's try the new dishes today..."

"New dishes?" Pang Tong was gearing up, "Then what are you waiting for?" Order the cook to bring it up quickly! 』

"Wait a minute... Let's eat some pastry first. This mung bean cake is good..." Fei Qian poured a glass of water for Pang Tong, "Besides, Zijing hasn't arrived yet..."

"Gululu..." Pang Tong rubbed his rumbling stomach and sat aside with a sad face.

If he were waiting for others, Pang Tong probably wouldn't have the patience, but if he were waiting for Zao Zhi, he would have to endure no matter how hungry he was, because Zao Zhi was not only Pang Tong's friend, but more importantly, Zao Zhi was now a core figure in agriculture, directly related to These core harvests are in Shangdang, Hedong, Guanzhong.

Although Fei Qian currently occupies a large territory, the amount of arable land that can be used for farming is still far lower than that of Shandong. The reason why it can rely on this small amount of arable land to overtake Shandong is mainly because of agriculture. On the other hand, the technological improvement in the field is directly connected to the agricultural and engineering bachelor's degree.

Without the two probes of the Bachelor of Agriculture and the Bachelor of Engineering, Fei Qian would not be able to fully control the number of cultivated land and farmers. It would be like in Shandong, where he could only listen to what the powerful nobles said and what they reported. How much, then Fei Qian would have been doomed long ago.

In addition, Zao Zhi is not greedy for power, so from Fei Qian to Pang Tong, as well as other officials of all sizes, they all respect Zao Zhi very much. Even if some people think that Zao Zhi is a fool, they will Put on some pretense on the surface, otherwise it will be troublesome if others find out...

Pang Tong didn't suffer for long before Zaozhi arrived.

"Northland... the situation is not good..." Zao Zhi looked a little serious, "After I sent someone to contact the military outpost left by General Hepingbei, I went to the northern part of Yinshan to investigate the surrounding area of ​​the mining area... Generally speaking, , the temperature is low..."

Zao Zhi took out several records.

Whether it is agriculture or industry before the Han Dynasty, there are no detailed comparisons of weather and geography records. Even if there are, they are only a few words. If you want to get some differences and changes between different years and months, basically It's extremely difficult to say.

Since Feiqian arrived in Pingyang, agricultural industry and other aspects have adopted the habit of recording data more and more, and then using these data as a basis for promoting and predicting some things has gradually been adopted by Pang Tong Zaozhi and others. People are used to it.

Fei Qian slowly looked through the data brought by Zao Zhi, and the look on his face became a little serious. Judging from the data collected by Zaozhi and the personnel dispatched by Zaozhi, the severe cold in the northern desert has spread to the Yinshan area. However, because of the Yinshan Mountains, although the temperature in the south of the Yinshan Mountains has dropped slightly, it is not like The north is so awesome.

At the same time, Luliang Mountain blocks the cold current heading to Taiyuan Shangdang, and the mountains to the north of Guanzhong also block the cold current coming from the north. Generally speaking, in the area protected by these mountains, the temperature and land thawing are not too bad. , can barely carry out spring plowing, but overall, the temperature is relatively low. If there is a late spring cold, then these sown crops will inevitably suffer disaster.

At present, the Han Dynasty does not have much ability to cultivate cold-resistant Zhuanghe. Although Fei Qian has told Zaozhi to pay attention to collecting it, on the whole, the sporadic collection of Zhuanghe seeds or seedlings is different from those of later generations. Biological basic support makes it difficult to develop effectively.

"Zijing, what are your suggestions..." Fei Qian handed the data to Pang Tong and then asked.

Zao Zhi frowned slightly, "My idea is...the ones in the north...plant half first, and then plant the other half when the temperature does rise...but this will reduce the yield..."

Why is spring plowing so important? That’s it, one link after another.

Fei Qian pondered for a long time, nodded and said: "Let's do it like this... In addition, we must study the cold-proof farm sheds in the north. We don't have to pursue the cheapness of the materials. First of all, we must ensure the effect of keeping out the cold..."

Fei Qian once also used a glass insulation shed to grow some off-season vegetables. The cost was of course very considerable, but the effect was not very satisfactory because the light transmittance of glass was not good, and because of the material, it would cause damage if touched even slightly. Even if it is not touched, it is fragile when it is cold or hot. It is okay for small-scale use, but it is impossible to operate it on a large scale.

Let me just say one thing, these colored glazes are given to Zao Zhi's men and are guarded by soldiers. If these colored glazes are given to ordinary farmers, they will not only grow legs but also grow taller within three days. Believe it or not, you can grow wings and fly directly into the sky?

"These things will be like this for today. Zijing has worked hard too. Come on, let's eat first..."

Fei Qian greeted and asked the cook at home to bring the new dishes.

Dishes that can be served at any time, of course, cannot be freshly fried.

Stir-fried dishes were basically promoted by Fei Qian in advance. They are still quite popular among the children of the gentry, and there are many more varieties of stir-fried dishes. Not only those before Fei Qian, there are also some new dishes that are also innovative by others. , but stir-fried vegetables, like Liuli, are more popular at the gentry level and are difficult to spread to ordinary people.

After all, the people now demand that they still have enough to eat. They would be happy to have whiter steamed buns, rather than how good they are to eat...

"ah? Is it a duck? Roast duck? Pang Tong had been watching it all the time. He noticed it from a distance before it was put on the table and the smell didn't reach him.

"No..." Fei Qian said with a smile.

Pang Tong's intuition told him that this new dish was good.

The duck is very plump and golden in color, and there seems to be a thin layer of oil on the skin. It seems to glow under the setting sun, which is amazing and very appetizing.

After the cook came up, he cut open the duck's back. A strong but light, very contradictory compound fragrance suddenly emitted, causing Pang Tong to swallow his saliva. Zao Zhi on the side also stretched his neck and stared closely. With.

I saw that the back of the duck was hollowed out, and it was filled with meat that had been torn into strips, grains of glutinous rice, as well as mushrooms and winter bamboo shoots...

Fei Qian took out a small bowl for Pang Tong and Zao Zhi, and then took some out for himself.

After the duck meat is stuffed into the duck belly, the fragrance of glutinous rice is added, then rice wine and ginger juice are poured in, and it has been steamed together with mushrooms and winter bamboo shoots for an unknown period of time. It has become soft and delicious, and is extremely fragrant.

"What a great time..." Pang Tong sighed vaguely as he scooped most of the food in the small bowl into his mouth in two or three times.

The jujube on the side chewed a few mouthfuls carefully, his eyes shone brightly, and he took another chopstick, scooped out a spoonful of glutinous rice, raised the water bowl, and took a sip of sweet syrup water, what are you talking about? I don’t even want to say it.

When you encounter something delicious and are hungry, most people normally won’t talk much and just concentrate on eating. Only when they are done eating will they relax and start chatting, commenting, etc. of. After eating two bites, you will talk a lot. Either you will not be hungry at all, or it will not taste good at all.

Just look at the appearance of the diners, like Pang Tong and Zao Zhi, it is easier to use than a hundred adjectives.

"This new dish..." Fei Qian asked after Pang Tong and Zao Zhi had almost finished eating, and asked the attendants to remove the dishes.

"Wonderful!" Pang Tong shook his head and said, "It is oily but not greasy, salty and delicious, it can be said to be a delicacy for birds!" 』

Zao Zhi on the side also nodded.

Gu: "You haven't tasted anything special?" Fei Qian asked again.

Zao Zhi was stunned for a moment, "Something special?" 』

Pang Tong lowered his head and looked at his bowl, recalled it again, pinched his chin, and rolled his eyes, "Could it be...this mountain treasure..."

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from Shi Yuan!" Fei Qian laughed and said, "I wonder if Shi Yuan thinks this strategy is feasible?" 』

Pang Tongba smacked his lips, and suddenly his eyebrows were dancing, "I think... you can give it a try... after all, the effect last time was also very good..."

Fei Qian laughed and said, "Yes, I just think the method before was good. Now I'm trying it again... I'm just afraid that some people will think it's old-fashioned..."

Pang Tong waved his hand and said, "What's the harm if you see through it?" Lord, there is no need to worry, leave this matter to me! 』

Zao Zhi was a little stunned at the side, "This..."

What did you two say?

Sitting in the hall, eating duck and drinking wine, why did it suddenly turn into some kind of plan?

What are you two planning so happily?

Wait, can anyone help explain...

……\\(^o^)/……

All the words and even movies in the world are pale in expressing and reproducing the cruelty of war. Probably only those who have personally experienced war can truly understand the concept of war.

Guangling has once again become the frontline of the war.

Chaos, disorder, danger, and death have made the Guangling area the most cruel area.

In Guangling, the people who originally lived in this land were scattered and became refugees, hiding in the mountains and forests, or fleeing to other places. The Jiangdong Army and the Cao Army fought each other on this land, making every area Any area may become a battlefield and a restricted area for living beings.

Before Cao's army went south on a large scale, Jiangdong's army continued to collect and arrest people everywhere, and then transported them to Jiangdong. However, because the ships were occupied during this period, the current refugees were either intercepted or killed before being captured. Come as a laborer.

The scouts of Cao Jun and Jiangdong Army also had some contact. After all, although the army had to walk along the river to ensure its drinking water needs, the scouts of the small army could still pass through some areas where it was not convenient for the army to travel to conduct detection and spying. Not long ago, Jiangdong Army tried to set up a decoy ambush for Cao Jun's scouts, but Cao Jun's scouts saw it through. After all, Cao Jun was more familiar with this land.

But it was an ambush after all. Although Cao Jun saw through it and suffered a certain amount of losses, the subsequent spying and infiltration were not as arrogant as before...

Similar conflicts are not uncommon these days. The conflicts, large and small, are like the prophecies before the war. And it is in the process of such conflicts that the two sides determine each other's positions at one time and prepare for the next. Be prepared for a violent impact.

Zhou Tai, who was under the prime minister, was defeated miserably in the end. Without timely assistance, Zhou Tai was helpless and had to set fire to the prime minister one night. Then he withdrew his remaining soldiers, less than a hundred men, to Guangling to join Zhu Zhi.

The immortal ghost Zhou Tai was injured yet again.

On the one hand, Zhu Zhi pretended to comfort Zhou Tai, and on the other hand, he sent a message to Sun Quan. Then they stayed in place openly, and only sent Xie Zan as the front army to prevent Cao's army from advancing, while the rest of the army did not continue to move forward.

For Zhu Zhi, what he preferred was not to fight Cao Jun, but to ensure his previous interests. The previous march was just due to pressure from Sun Quan. Now that Zhou Tai was used as a cover, it naturally stopped.

As for the aspect of Man Chong, not all Cao Jun's troops were elite. Although capturing and recovering the Prime Minister was considered a good result, it did not mean that they could send their troops south to fight Sun Quan.

The reason why Man Chong chose to attack Xiang Xiang was, on the one hand, to get information from Zhang Yu, and felt that Zhou Tai's army was running out of supplies and the opportunity was not to be missed. On the other hand, it was also to make up for his previous guilt of losing Guangling, and to achieve some meritorious service before Cao Cao arrived. Apply it on your face and it will give you some glow.

Therefore, at the border of Guangling, the troops from both sides chose to stand in a stalemate.

This is not the only tacit understanding between the two parties.

In the gap between this confrontation, the dangerous situation suffered by the refugees in Guangling has not been alleviated in any way. On the contrary, because both sides are unwilling to take risks to believe in the "innocence" of these refugees, and of course they are not willing to bear more food and grass for the refugees. Therefore, large-scale robbery and massacre when seeing refugees became an inevitable choice.

Either in the woods, in the wilderness, or in the mountain streams, the original people of Guangling, men and women, old people and children, no matter whether these refugees resisted or not, the outcome was the same, and no one was spared.

No matter whether you are willing to accept this tragic fate or not, and whether there is any truth to what happened, at this stage of the stalemate between Cao's army and Jiangdong's army, the flesh and blood of the people of Guangling were crushed and ground bit by bit in the huge war millstone. It was turned into powder, and the flesh, flesh and fat produced were eaten by two giant war beasts.

Guangling has already appeared on the stage of history in the pre-Qin period. In the Han Dynasty, Guangling served as a hereditary fiefdom for princes and princes for nearly four hundred years. It can be said that it accompanied the changes in the royal family of the entire Han Dynasty. .

In other words, Guangling was like being under a curse repeatedly in the territory of the Han Dynasty, and it was constantly repeating disasters.

At the beginning, Liu Bang made his eldest nephew Liu Bi the king of Wu, and Guangling was the capital of Wu. King Wu Liu Bi "made money from copper and boiled the sea into salt", which made Guangling's economy develop rapidly and also expanded the ambition of King Wu. Later, in the name of killing Chao Cuo, Liu Bi asked Chu King Liu Wu and other princes and kings to rebel together, which was known as the "Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms" in history. But within three months, Liu Bi was defeated and fled to Dongyue, and was killed by the Dongyue people.

Later, Liu Fei was also granted a title here and was called the King of Jiangdu. As a result, Liu Jian, who later succeeded King Jiangdu, was sentenced to death for plotting rebellion. Jiangdu was abolished and Guangling County was built.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, King Guangling appeared. Under the suppression of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the successive kings of Guangling were quite honest. At most, they could only make a few remarks after the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty...

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu named his son Liu Jing the King of Guangling. After the death of Emperor Guangwu, Liu Jing tried to rebel four times in his life, but all ended in failure...

Although it is said that careerists will bring disasters to the surrounding people no matter where they are, Guangling County has indeed endured too much suffering caused by careerists. After a little recovery, it has become a battlefield again. , even the simplest rebellion and counterinsurgency cannot avoid the pain of separation of flesh and blood, life and death.

At present, the turmoil and humiliation that have lasted for several months are still spreading, and war disasters are continuing. Both households and gentry have fallen in such a catastrophe. All the gold and silver money in their homes has been robbed, and towns and villages have been destroyed. It was moved away.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg of the Guangling tragedy.

Within a few months, the old and the weak were killed first, and the men became the cheapest labor force, disposable cattle and horses. They were ordered to perform various kinds of work. If they disobeyed, they would be whipped and beaten with sticks, or even beaten. Even those who could struggle to survive in labor often became cannon fodder in various battles, especially in several siege battles, where there were countless casualties and corpses everywhere.

The fate of women is equally tragic.

Thousands of women were sent in and taken captive. Some of these women were recruited into the army, while others were sent to the rear, used and selected like goods. Along the way, a large number of female corpses were constantly thrown into the wilderness...

And the corpses of these men and women, as well as the old and the weak who died earlier, may have just become the children of some noble families, with their hands behind their backs, looking at the sky at an angle of 45 degrees, lamenting the suffering of the people in the world and the suffering of the people in the world. ?

In the midst of emotion, the turning point of this war occurred in the summer of the sixth year of Taixing, when Cao Cao and Sun Quan pounced on Cao Cao and Sun Quan with such rapidity that neither party fully expected it and prepared their positions...
