Because of military pressure, this year is still the 25th year of Jian'an, and Liu Xie has not changed the new era name.

As Sun Quan became a vassal and was the first to send a persuasion table, Hua Xin followed, followed by the three dukes of the Han Dynasty, the nine kings, and the generals of all sizes.

The war against Sun Quan was also carried out in an orderly manner, Nanyang County was also mobilized, Tian Yu, Wenpin, and Shen Tan were all within the scope of mobilization.

Blocking the sun, Tian Xinzheng led the Huya Army and the surrender army to open up paddy fields.

Rice seedlings have been raised by special personnel, and now they are only built according to the undulating terrain to build a soil fence and pond embankment that gathers water.

In the first half of the month, more than 30,000 acres of paddy fields have been irrigated and soaked, and most of the weeds soaked in the water have been easily removed.

Rice seedlings have been planted in some of the first paddy fields to be restored, and the rice seedlings are only a few inches long.

Tian Xin wore straw sandals and walked on the ridge to observe the left and right, and there was no knowledge of farming in his head, and now it was all in the hands of the military officials.

However, agriculture is really backward, and low-yield crops such as millet and corn are popular, and wheat and rice are not widely cultivated.

There are simple and primitive noodle soups and hu cakes to eat wheat, but steamed buns and steamed buns have not yet been developed.

Rice cultivation is not widespread for a simple reason...... Rice is not easy to store. Chestnut rice can be stored in a warehouse for ten years; The storage environment of rice is demanding.

Long Xiang's army marched slowly along the ancient gallop road, and Guan Ping looked around at the sparkling paddy fields on the east side of the road and saw Tian Xin's figure.

Everywhere the officials and captives were working, and only Tian Xin walked around, walking towards the gallop.

Guan Ping dismounted, walked along the ridge, and asked with a smile: "Xiaoxian really wants to be in this military camp?" ”

"Brother, this is asking knowingly."

Tian Xin walked to the side of the road, under the shade of the tree there were already sergeants laying a few bamboo mats, Tian Xin and Guan Ping sat in the shade of the tree, hiding from the dust of the army marching.

Guan Ping took a sip of the gourd: "I heard that Xiaoxian took out Jiangmi Qianshi to make wine to reward the officials, but I thought it was a miscommunication." When the army marched past the Flower Pavilion, they saw that the officials quenched their thirst with thick wine when they worked. ”

Thick wine is sweet wine, muddy wine, rice steamed, can be brewed in one night, sweet and sour.

"Thick wine, popular in Guanzhong."

Tian Xin said without thinking about it: "Other wines do consume food, and drunkenness makes mistakes. Thick wine is brewed overnight, called wine, but it is actually sweet porridge. The officials were thirsty after work, and boiling water was inconvenient to carry, so they had to replace water with thick wine, which could also increase their strength. And I counterattacked Xu Huang, which was really an act of disobedience. Thanks to the death of the officials, how could they succeed? ”

Tian Xin said and waved his hand to refuse the wine handed by Guan Ping: "I just discipline myself, why force the officials?" ”

Guan Ping didn't care, drank and asked, "There should be other considerations, right?" ”

"Yes, drinking thick wine is not easy to get the disease."

Tian Xin said a simple answer in his eyes, and asked: "Brother led the Long Xiang army to Ye County, is it to assist in defense, or to respond to Ma Mengqi's retreat?" ”

"Assist in the defense."

Guan Ping took Tian Xin's words to heart and said: "Xiahou is still calm with his troops, and although General Meng Qi has a small victory, it is difficult to show his strengths. The king of Han was afraid that General Meng Qi would lose, so he asked me to lead the army to help in the battle. ”

The Han army appeared in Ye County, and Cao Ren was originally going to personally lead his troops to fight, where did Cao Pi and Sima Yi dare to let Cao Ren come out?

Therefore, Xiahou Shangqin of the Central Protector Army led more than 10,000 forbidden troops, mixed with Zhao Yan's Tuntian soldiers, and reorganized into more than 30,000 people to hold on to Ma Chao.

Ma Chao stopped after a few small battles, the Huya Army could not move to guard the passage, and the six thousand people in Ma Chao's hands could not gamble, and they always held each other.

Guan Ping arrived in Ye County with the Long Xiang army, and if he could fight, he would fight a game, and if he couldn't fight, he would retreat together, and concentrate his troops to deploy in Duyang.

Tian Xin fought a brilliant battle in Duyang, whether it was Liu Bei or Guan Yu, they were relieved, thinking that they could block the attacking army of the Wei army in Duyang.

Perhaps Tian Xin, Ma Chao, and Guan Ping were guarding the area of Duyang, and the Wei army lacked the courage to attack.

Guan Ping said and turned his head to look at the paddy fields with bright water: "I didn't want Xiaoxian to really calm down, and I thought that Xiaoxian and General Meng Qi would lead 3,000 horsemen to attack Xudu and show off their might under the city." ”

"Brother, I'm not in favor of going to war this year. can break Xu Huang, but it is only a fleeting fighter plane, and it is the result of a desperate fight. ”

Tian Xin took two sips of his water hyacinth: "My brother has never been short of food and clothing since he was a child, and he doesn't know the feeling of hunger and fatigue. And I was so dizzy with hunger that I almost starved to death on the side of the road. ”

With a long sigh of relief, Tian Xin turned his head to look at the rice field, half-squinting: "I don't care about the success or failure of the Northern Expedition, I only care about myself, my relatives and friends, and whether the people within my sight can have food and clothing, and whether they can be peaceful." The Northern Expedition was fate for the old generals of Han, Guanhou and Xiahou, and loyalty and filial piety for my brother, and for me, the Northern Expedition was just a fight. ”

"The Eastern Expedition to Sun Quan is a fight, and the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains is also a fight. Only by fighting can we live a peaceful life. ”

Tian Xin said and patted his coarse cloth belt around his waist: "Brother, look, if it is not necessary, I don't even want to bring a sword on weekdays." ”

Guan Ping looked at the guards, and after the guards walked away, Guan Ping said: "I know that filial piety has grievances first, but the Eastern Expedition is imperative." When I came, my father also instructed that in order to achieve the ambition of the king of Han, my father did not hesitate to die. For his father, Jingyi Erzhou is nothing, and whether he can stretch the ambition of the Han King is the real big thing. ”

"Even if this crusade and the 100,000 army are annihilated, my father has no complaints."

"Maybe Mr. Kong Ming thinks the same way, he would rather give it a try than wronged King Han."

Guan Ping raised his hand and patted Tian Xin on the shoulder: "In a battle with Xu Gongming, filial piety is willing to fight with his life, and the Huya soldiers are willing to die with filial piety." Now that the king of Han is willing to raise troops to the east, the Yuan Cong soldiers are naturally willing to die. ”

Tian Xin just sighed when he heard it, this strange dualistic monarchy system.

As Guan Ping said, the Huya soldiers were only willing to listen to themselves, and did not care much about the orders of higher levels.

Because of blind obedience, faith, and the more chaotic world outside, many officials have been inseparable from this collective, and the collective is the meaning of their lives.

Before the troubled times are peaceful, unless they make a major mistake and toss the heart of the Huya Army to the point of collapse, this collective will only follow itself and even serve its own children and grandchildren.

The same is true of Guan Ping's Long Xiang Army, the number was given by Liu Bei, but the officials were gathered by Guan Yu and Guan Ping bit by bit, and they were formed by running in during the war.

Guan Yu is now a former general, but the establishment of the Dangkou Army still exists, and there is never a new Dangkou general to replace him, and Zhou Cang still supervises the military affairs of the various battalions of the Dangkou Army.

Therefore, Tian Xin understands the attitude of the various armies towards Liu Bei, Liu Bei wants to go east, and everyone would rather fight their own lives to achieve this ideal, which is a moment to show the value of their existence and the meaning of survival.

The prestige of the founding monarch is so strong, for the soldiers in troubled times, the founding monarch is everything, to live for it, to die for it, to die for it is meaningful.

Liu Bei's Eastern Crusade, Ma Chao's attitude was much colder; I look at it rationally, but Guan Ping has no opinion.

Guan Ping left, leaving behind a silk letter from Guan Ji.

Tian Xin held the silk bibliography and sent Guan Ping and the rider disappeared, just shaking his head and smiling.

I still have an infection quota, and I always keep it without it, which naturally has an effect.

This infection quota is like a detector, which does not respond to Guan Ping and Zhang Bao, but reacts to Guan Xing.
