Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 320 Autumn Harvest and Battle Report

In August, when autumn comes, everything dries up.Only on the banks of the Wushui River, there are good fields and fertile fields, criss-crossed rice fields, and millet and millet hang down their heads.

The autumn wind blows, the fertile fields are golden, and the ears of rice fluctuate with the wind. Nearly [-] soldiers of the Han Dynasty bow their waists to cut the ears.

Zhuge Liang and everyone in the army walked among the fields, looking at the endless fertile fields in front of them, with a look of joy on their faces.

Zhuge Liang bowed his head and picked up a few fallen millet grains, looked at them in his hand, and smiled at the crowd, "These millet grains are full, it seems that the harvesting time is just right."

Yang Yi went over to take a grain, looked at it for a while, and said: "The quality of this millet is really good, the water and soil here are indeed very good, not inferior to Longyou Tianshui and other places."

Zhuge Liang stood on the ridge of the field, looking at the wheat field, but saw some corn stalks placed randomly in the distance, and said: "Gongwei, you can ask the whole army to pile up the harvested corn stalks later, don't throw them away at will, and use them for feeding." War horse."

"promise!"

Zhuge Liang walked down the ridge of the field, shook the feather fan lightly, walked forward with one hand on his waist, and said: "After the millet is harvested, the winter wheat can be planted in a while. You can check the gaps and make up for the omissions during these days, and see See what is missing, and make up for it in time, so as not to delay the planting of winter wheat."

Pan Jun was a step behind, and replied: "Please rest assured, Prime Minister, Jun has already counted the materials one by one, and there should be nothing wrong."

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang walked forward with a smile on his face, and said, "That's good, Cheng Ming is really Liang's arm."

After speaking, Zhuge Liang suddenly noticed something, looked around, and asked, "Aren't Shao Xian's subordinates responsible for these nearby fields? Why don't you see Shao Xian?"

Everyone looked around, looking for Huo Yi's figure.

A man in the farmland stood up, wiped his sweat with a sackcloth hanging on his shoulder, and shouted: "Prime Minister, Yi is here."

Everyone heard the reputation and looked around, only to see Huo Yi wearing a bamboo hat, straw sandals on his feet, and several bundles of millet stalks under his arm, walking towards him, looking like a farmer.

Zhuge Liang was taken aback for a moment, and then a gleam of joy appeared on his face. He stepped forward to support Huo Yi who was about to salute, and said, "Shao Xian has worked hard. If you are busy with farming, you can have soldiers, and the general will supervise them. Why did Shao Xian go deep into the farmland to do the farming work himself? .”

Huo Yi smiled on his dark face, and said: "I am used to doing farming work with Your Majesty in Wudan Mountain, Chengdu. As for why I do the farming work in person, Yi is following His Majesty's words. Your Majesty once said that the superior will not work." , Those who supervise the subordinates do it, although the subordinates move, but their hearts are not angry; if the superiors are tired, and supervise the subordinates to do it, the subordinates will move immediately, and their hearts will be happy."

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, and said approvingly: "Your Majesty's words are right in the heart of the people's mind, and they can be good words."

Pan Jun stroked his beard and thought for a while, and couldn't help but think of his "send off" Liu Yan. He shuddered for a moment. His Majesty today has a deep grasp of people's hearts, which may be comparable to that of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty.

Zhuge Liang patted the stubble on Huo Yi's shoulder, his face full of relief.

When he was a teenager, Huo Yi grew up with Liu Chan, and also learned scriptures and essays from Zhuge Liang with Liu Chan.After Liu Chan ascended the throne, Huo Yi served as the secretary, conveying government affairs and military affairs to Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan. Zhuge Liang often ordered Huo Yi by ear.That's why Zhuge Liang loved Huo Yi very much and had great expectations.

"Prime Minister, report the war in Liangzhou!" Guan Xing hurried forward and whispered.

"En! Let's talk when we return to the camp." Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, looked at Huo Yi and asked, "Shao Xian has worked for a long time, do you want to come back to the camp with me to rest?"

Huo Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "My department's farming work has not been completed yet, and when it is completed, Yi will take them back to the camp to rest."

Zhuge Liang took a few more glances with satisfaction, and said, "Shan, Shaoxian has worked hard!"

……

The Han army camp, the Chinese army camp tents, the tents are shady and cool, the cool breeze blows, and the incense is wafting.

Zhuge Liang sat upright, behind the case, and asked, "An Guo, is this Zijun's battle report?"

Guan Xing knelt down on the side of the case, and there was a battle report on the case. He cupped his hands and said, "I will report to the Prime Minister, not only the battle report of Wang Zhenbei, but also the battle report of General Zuo."

Guan Xing looked at the battle report and said briefly: "Wang Zhenbei said that there are about a thousand Wei soldiers in Guzang City, but the people in the city are excited, and all the powerful and powerful people have come out of the city to offer books. It must be only a few days before Guzang can go down. Xuanwei County has fallen. Moreover, Wang Zhenbei said that General Zuo had sent reinforcements to go upriver from Wuting, capture the counties, and join Wang Zhenbei at Guzang City..."

The joyful Zhuge Liang couldn't hold back the smile when he heard that Wang Ping asked Wei Yan to send soldiers north to support him. Wang Ping was giving Wei Yan the credit.

As long as Wang Ping takes down Guzang City and drives straight in, the western frontier counties behind will basically be passed on. At that time, Wei Yan, who is the governor of Liangzhou, has not yet returned a county. Wouldn't it be a loss of face.

Zhuge Liang restrained his emotions and said: "I ordered Wang Ping's troops to strictly observe military discipline after entering Liangzhou, and not to harass the people at will. At the same time, those who have not invaded are not allowed to provoke without authorization. After Zang, Liangzhou will be governed again, and everything will be temporarily governed by Wei law."

"promise!"

"What's the news about Wenchang's department?" Zhuge Liang asked.

Guan Xing took the battle report from Wei Yan's troops, looked at it and said, "General Zuo's troops have already broken through the Siwang Gorge and isolated Jincheng and Yuzhong. . 6000 people have arrived and will prepare to attack Yuzhong."

After a pause, Guan Xing continued: "General Zuo sent Captain Jiang Xiaowei north to assist Wang Zhenbei, leading an army of three thousand."

Zhuge Liang stroked his beard, pondered for a while, and said: "Bo Yue is brave and resourceful, and it is good to go north to assist Zi Jun. There are Zi Jun, Shi Zai, and Bo Yue in Liangzhou. Ruo Liang expected it to be right. It is possible to pacify the counties of Liangzhou, and it is possible that only Jincheng and Yuzhong counties have Yang Fu firmly defending them, so it is difficult to capture them."

With that said, Zhuge Liang fell into thinking again about the next battle.

After a long silence, Zhuge Liang raised his head to look at Guan Xing, and said, "Now the battle is in my hands, even if it can be delayed until next spring, so there is no need to storm the city, but it will damage the lives of soldiers. Don't be in a hurry to attack the city, but besiege the two cities, and when the food in the two cities runs out, you can leave the city and surrender."

"promise!"

Guan Xing put a pen to his desk and wrote down the military order.

Zhuge Liang suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Have there been any movements in Xiaoguan Wei's army recently?"

Guan Xing stopped writing and replied: "I would like to report to the prime minister that since our army sent Cao Zhen's letter, the Wei army has stopped going out of the city to call for battle. The Wei army officers and soldiers are sticking to their tents, as if waiting for something?"

Zhuge Liang caressed his beard for a while, and said with a smile: "Cao Zhen is waiting to see if Wei Zhen's army can break through Chencang Road and enter Wudu County, forcing our army to return to the army. There is His Majesty and Wu Dudu in Hanzhong, so it will be no problem. Let the chariot general be more careful In the passes of Longshan Mountain, perhaps in a month or so, Cao Zhen may be about to withdraw his troops."

"No!" Guan Xing replied.

"Han Ji Wang Deng Jiang Huo Biography": "The Prime Minister's army stationed in Wushui, and divided the fields among the various tribes to cultivate them. At that time, all the generals and supervisors worked on them, but Yi personally led the farming. Everyone was very different. Yi said: "I follow what my ancestors did! "The Prime Minister's deep weapon.
