Just when Zhou Yu was thinking hard and planning to seize grain, Xiao Yi also cast his greedy eyes on the rice fields on both sides of the Han River - with grain in his hands, he didn't panic!

The difference is that Zhou Yu likes to think quietly alone in the face of big events; And when Xiao Yi is planning, he needs to be accompanied by someone, preferably a beautiful woman with a beautiful national color!

"Lingnan lychee is sweet and juicy, please eat one!"

"Ah--no matter how delicious the lychee is, it's not as good as the little obedient and delicious, I still have to eat lychee at night!"

"Husband is really necrotic...... The worse it is, the more you like it! ”

In the Xuanjia Battalion-Zhongjun tent, Xiao Yi was lying on the soft couch, resting on Sun Shangxiang's jade legs, smelling the fragrance of the beautiful body, tasting fresh fruits, and laughing a few words in his ears from time to time, happy like a fairy couple!

Xiao Yi had a rice ear in his hand, the color was yellow and green, and the grains were extremely full, which had just been picked from the field outside the camp.

Jingzhou has fertile land and dense rivers, which is very suitable for planting rice, and the yield per mu is about three stones (1 stone = 120 catties in the Han Dynasty), coupled with the relatively high temperature, you can double crop a year, or even three crops a year!

During Liu Biao's reign in Jingzhou, although there were no achievements in military and diplomatic affairs, the development of internal affairs was good, the construction of water conservancy, diligent persuasion of agriculture and mulberry, coupled with the wind and rain, the crops were harvested year after year, especially in the treasury of Xiangyang and Jiangling, the rice was piled up!

However, during the Cao army's eastward crusade, with Jiangling City as the base camp, after more than half a year of fighting, the treasury was exhausted, and when the main force of the Cao army retreated north, the stored grain in Xiangyang City was also loaded and transported away!

On the one hand: Cao Cao was worried that Jingzhou would not be able to hold it, and if the grain and grass were left, it would only be cheaper for Sun and Liu Lianjun, so it was better to take it away himself!

On the other hand: because of the continuous war, the livelihood of the people in the Central Plains withered, Cao Cao needed a lot of food to appease the hungry people, otherwise the hungry people would rebel!

As a result: as soon as Xiao Yi arrived in Xiangyang City, he faced the big problem of food shortage, with more than 100,000 soldiers under his command, 300,000 people in the city, and people from Nanjun, Nanyang County, Zhangling County, and Xiangyang County...... It's a bottomless pit!

If you can't feed these mouths, it will inevitably provoke a civil uprising, and no matter how great Xiao Yi's skills are, he can only go back to the Central Plains, giving up the three southern counties before, of course, is to contain Liu Bei's side, but also to throw off the burden on himself, otherwise there will be more people eating!

Fortunately, the autumn breeze is gusting, the rice flowers are fragrant, and the countless rice fields on both sides of the Han River will mature in more than ten days.

The problem is that the Jiangdong army is stationed on the edge of the Han River, and there is also a serious shortage of grain and grass, if he sends troops to harvest rice and scatter his men and horses between the fields, Zhou Yu will inevitably send troops to attack, how to resist at that time?

If you don't send troops to grab food, you can use the stocks in Xiangyang City to support it for another month at most, and then what will more than 100,000 horses and 300,000 people eat?

"People are iron, rice is steel, if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry, and the soldiers will be born and die with me, they are already very happy, how can they endure hunger again?

There are also the people of Xiangyang, who have suffered from swords and soldiers in recent years, and if they can't even eat, they will lose their hearts - the grain on both sides of the Han River, Lao Tzu has grabbed it this time! ”

………………………

After much deliberation, Xiao Yat decided to send troops to grab food, although this move is very risky, it is better than starving to death, but in order to grab food, there are two problems to face:

First, when harvesting rice, Zhou Yu must be firmly watched, so that the Jiangdong army cannot get out of the camp, neither can rob the grain, let alone destroy the grain, otherwise as long as there is a fire, both sides of the Han River will be ashes!

The second is to snatch the rice back in the shortest possible time, the fertile fields on both sides of the Han River are inclined, the terrain is high and low, and the soil is sticky and sandy, so the rice maturity time is also inconsistent!

Harvest that piece first, then harvest that piece, how to arrange manpower, how to transport it back to the camp after cutting, how to dry, hull, bag...... It's not an easy task!

For the first problem, Xiao Yi has been planning for a few days and has already found a solution, and for the latter problem, he has to find a master to help!

This is also another difference between Zhou Yu and Xiao Yi, when encountering problems, the former always does it himself, and the latter is good at employing people, so Zhou Yu lives more tired and has a shorter lifespan!

"The last general will meet Da Sima - invincible and invincible!"

"General Zhongye, please get up, sit down and taste the fragrant tea!"

"Thank you Da Sima, I don't know what the summons is about?"

"Hehe--the general doesn't have to be too restrained, I invited the Chinese military tent today, but there is a big thing to entrust!"

……………………

The curtain of the big tent was separated, and a middle-aged man walked in, eight feet tall and dignified, kneeling on one knee and saluting, it was Jingzhou's general-Wenpin!

Xiao Yi jumped up and stretched out his hands to support, Sun Shangxiang was more like a housewife, personally pouring tea for guests, the two were so enthusiastic, Wen Ping was uncomfortable, and his hands holding tea trembled!

Wen Ping, the word Zhongye - brave personality, skilled in arching and horses, originally a general under Liu Biao, when the Jingxiang War, he sat in Zhangling County in the west, and blocked the attack of the Cao army, and was in a stalemate for several months!

Later, Liu Biao died of illness, Liu Cong was captured, and Xiangyang City also fell.

However, during the Wulin War, Wen Ping led people to inspect Jiangfang, and happened to meet Huang Gai's envoy, and then introduced the Chinese army's big tent, which led to Huang Gai's fraudulent surrender and spread malaria, and the Cao army soldiers were killed and injured countless times, and fled back to Jiangling in embarrassment!

Afterwards, some generals thought: 'Wen Ping colluded with Jiangdong and poisoned the soldiers, and should be beheaded for public display', but fortunately, Cao Cao was not confused, but just accepted Wen Ping's military power and let him sit on the cold bench!

During this time, Wen Ping sat at home, sighed every day, thinking that he had no future, and he didn't want to suddenly receive a summons from Da Sima, and immediately came to the Chinese army to meet him, but he didn't know whether it was good or bad?

"General Zhongye has lived in Jingzhou for a long time, is he familiar with the terroir on both sides of the Han River?"

"The ancestral hometown of the last general is on the north bank of the Han River, so I am very familiar with it!"

"It's the best, this great Sima encounters a difficult matter, is the general willing to help?"

"As long as Da Sima gives an order, the last general will go to the soup and die!"

……………………

Wen Ping felt from the conversation that he had encountered an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, seized the soaring prosperity, lost his regrets for life, and suddenly lifted his spirit!

Xiao Yi nodded with satisfaction, patted his palms three times, and walked in from the outside with two personal soldiers, holding two boxes, one large and one small, the big one contained battle robes, armor, and swords, and the small one only had an official seal, the seal of Xiangyang County!

"From now on, the general is the Taishou of Xiangyang County, and he will do his best to snatch back the grain on both sides of the Han River, if there is no interference from the enemy, how long will it take to harvest?"

There is no doubt about employing people, no need for suspicious people, as long as you can help yourself, although you are a general, Xiao Yi also dares to entrust you with important tasks!

Of course, this is also inseparable from the original history, Wenpin's reputation of loyalty, since he took refuge in Cao Ying, he is a pillar of the South Heaven!

"Thank you Da Sima for your trust and promotion, the last general will definitely do his best, the fertile fields on both sides of the Han River are poured, it will take at least ten days to harvest, if the last general commands, it can be completed in six days!"

"There is no six days, at most three or four days, and the food is snatched back, I will ensure your glory and wealth, and seal your wife and son!"

"Is it only three or four days...... The last general will be honored! ”

Wen Ping had guessed before that now that the battle situation in Jingzhou is tight, Da Sima may want to use himself, give a partial general position, and go to the battlefield to fight bloodily!

I didn't expect Xiao Yi to be so generous, and directly gave Xiangyang County Taishou, Jingzhou has nine counties, and the counties all have Taishou, and Xiangyang Taishou is the most important, when Liu Biao was in power in the past, non-relatives were not allowed to do it!

From the idler sitting on the cold bench to the Taishou of Xiangyang County, Wenpin can be said to have reached the sky in one step, but it is too difficult to grab the grain, even if he mobilizes all the people out of the city, it will be difficult to succeed in three or four days?

And he heard it, Xiao Yi only said half of what he said, he grabbed the food back, of course, it was glory and wealth, what if he couldn't get it back...... I'm afraid it's going to hit the ground?

This is a shocking gamble, blocking the life of the family, but Wen Ping thought about it a little, or nodded and agreed, rather than life is better than death to sit on the cold bench, it is better to gamble with his life, since ancient times, glory and wealth are in danger!

"Time is tight, the task is heavy, and there are many enemies...... If you want to get back the food, you need to use more strategy, the general will come with me! ”

"Everything is under the orders of Da Sima!"

……………………

Xiao Yi and Wen Ping walked into the back account, discussed the plan in detail, and didn't end until midnight, and then they were ready to go!

No one knew what the two were discussing, but when Wen Ping left, he had a large roll of drawings in his hand, hugged him tightly like a baby, and his originally nervous face was a little more confident!

In the next few days, Xiao Yi held frequent meetings to discuss the plan to grab the grain with the military officials under his command, what difficulties would be encountered in the process, and how to deal with it!

At the same time, the rear camp was also busy, and the blacksmiths worked day and night to create all kinds of strange things, including farm tools and weapons...... A war for food is about to begin!
