The soldiers standing guard can receive more than 20% of the food, Ah Jian goes out to reconnoitre, naturally has to enjoy the treatment of the sentry, but he is not willing to eat more dry food brought out, of course, Ah Jian will not be hungry, he can often disguise himself as a Huns, go to the fortress to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and at the same time can eat and drink together, his days are much more nourishing than Fu.

Fu glared at him and said, "Who said I don't want it, what don't you want me to eat?" He reached out and snatched the bread from Ah Jian's hand.

"Don't worry!" Ah Jian stretched out his hand, broke the dough cake, put it in the broth, and said with a smile: "Guanzhong food, mutton steamed bun, although this is almost, but it is definitely delicious, how about it, taste it?" ”

Fu Yiyi frowned and said, "You know I don't eat this!" ”

Ah Jian smiled calmly and said: "Young General, I know that you have a hurdle in your heart that you can't get over, but you have to understand that in order to survive, sometimes we have to make a little trade-off...... Wait, you'll hear me out first...... Maybe what I said is inappropriate, after all, war horses can't be compared with cattle and sheep, but now we have no choice, the young master has to give such an order in order to let everyone live, as his brother-in-law, you should support him even more. What is the loss of a few war horses, there are many Huns, and when the next battle is fought, we will grab it back. ”

Fu was silent, and after half a ring, he picked up the big bowl, swallowed the soup and meat.

……

Spring has arrived.

The mountains of Shangdang are green, and the water is green.

Last year's fire, instead of extinguishing the vegetation of the party, became more and more green, it was the wildfire that burned inexhaustibly, the spring breeze blew and regenerated, and the entire mountain was covered with greenery.

All kinds of fresh grass attract countless yellow sheep, red deer, hares, wild boars and other kinds of herbivores, and the appearance of herbivores also attracts wolves, tigers, leopards and other carnivores. A large number of fish can also be seen in the stream that has just been unsealed.

In short, the arrival of spring means vitality and turnaround, the Shu army finally no longer has to slaughter horses for food, wild vegetables and prey all over the mountains, fish and shrimp in the river, can provide new food sources for the Shu army and the people in the mountains, although it may not be so sufficient, but compared to the hungry and cold winter, the people who survived are relatively happy.

Spring is a sowing season, Liu Yin took out the seeds that he had saved for a winter and was reluctant to use without any rations, and the soldiers and civilians worked together to sow seeds in the field.

Since you want to take root in the party, you must do it yourself, so that you can really have enough food and clothing, and learn the lesson of the Huns' encirclement and destruction last year, Liu Yin has a great choice in the cultivation of the land.

First of all, the crops could not be planted on the periphery of the base area, and once the enemy attacked, the people could withdraw, but these crops were damaged, so all the grain and wheat had to be planted inside the base, and there were dangerous passes that could provide protection from being destroyed by the enemy.

Second, the Shangdang Mountains are vast and sparsely populated, although most of them are mountainous, but there is a lot of land that can be cultivated, but most of them are barren land that depends on the weather for food, if the wind and rain are good this year, there can be a good harvest, but if this year catches up with natural disasters, then the grain production will have to be reduced or even no grain harvest.

Compared with man-made disasters, natural disasters are a scope that needs to be considered, so although there are many places in the party, there are very few that really let Liu Yin pick them out for farming.

Compared with later generations, the peasants of the Han and Jin dynasties planted land completely wide and thinly harvested, not only wasting seeds, but also wasting agricultural power, compared with the yield of 1,000 catties per mu in later generations, the grain output of this era, 100 catties per mu is a rare thing, a few acres of land is harvested, it is a common thing, such inefficient agricultural production, it is no wonder that it is difficult to feed too many people.

Although Liu Yin had never planted in his previous life, he still understood many common sense things, and there were many factors that restricted crop yields, such as the quality of seeds, such as the combination of fertilizers, but the more important way of farming. The farmers of this era adopted a relatively extensive planting model, basically relying on the sky to eat, if God appreciates the face, there will be a full meal this year, if God does not appreciate the face, this year will only have a hungry belly.

Most of the land in the mountainous area is terraced fields, but in the meantime, the streams are vertical and horizontal, but they go around the fields, and they can't use it when they see the water flowing by, Liu Yin organized the military and the people to build water conservancy, build a dam to intercept water, build a rollover, make full use of the river water, and transform the ten thousand hectares of terraced dry land into watered land, which completely changed the pattern of relying on the sky to eat.

At the same time, Liu Yin personally went to the field and taught the peasants how to apply fertilizer and how to cultivate intensively, although improving the efficiency of agricultural production is not an overnight thing, and the "myth" of a thousand catties per mu cannot be realized in an era, Liu Yin hopes that through his efforts, he will indeed help farmers improve their harvests and strive to obtain a bumper harvest. As long as we can double the grain output on the existing basis, it will be a piece of cake to solve the problem of food shortage.

Of course, Liu Yuan did not rest, and when spring came, the Huns launched a new offensive of spring encirclement and suppression, just to destroy the spring plowing and spring planting in the base area.

The three-light tactics implemented during the encirclement and suppression last year must have dealt a very heavy blow to the Shu army, but the failure at the last moment still allowed the Shu army to survive this winter. Hearing the news that the Shu army was safe and sound, Liu Yuan was also really unwilling, so when spring came, he launched a new round of attacks.

However, compared with the encirclement and suppression last autumn, the scale of this spring offensive is much smaller, and the number of troops sent is only 20,000 or 30,000 people, which is obviously insufficient to encircle the iron wall, so Liu Yuan did not expect them to wipe out the Shu army, as long as they can continue to implement the Sanguang tactics and destroy the spring plowing and spring planting of the Shu army, their task will be completed.

Liu Yin did not want the Huns to succeed in their scheme, and continued to adopt the method of strengthening the inner line and fighting in a roundabout way on the outer line, repeatedly striking heavy blows, winning four battles and four victories, annihilating more than 6,000 enemy Hun troops, the Huns retreated in embarrassment, and the spring attack plan was defeated.

However, Liu Yuan was not in a hurry, in addition to strengthening the garrison of the various passes and fortresses, he was actively preparing for the autumn sweep, Liu Yuan decided that this autumn's encirclement and suppression would have a greater harvest than last year. (To be continued.) )
