Destiny Only Han

Chapter 179 The advantage is in me!

Guanzhong, Liyang.

Japonica rice is planted in March, and chamomile rice is planted in April.

It was late April at this time, and the plowing and sowing of the rice fields in the Guanzhong area had ended, and we just waited for the rice to break out of the ground, and then water for irrigation.

At this time, the rice planting was generally not the transplanting and sowing of later generations, but the direct sowing, the same as corn and wheat, with fire and water (nòu).

Fire farming refers to the burning of straw.

Shui 耨, 耨 means pulling weeds.

It refers to flooding the rice when it is seven or eight inches high, using the characteristic that rice can grow in swamps, and drowning other weeds.

At this moment, Liu Ying was lying on the window of the car, looking at the busy farmers on the side of the road, remembering the way they planted seeds in her heart.

Although the method of fire farming and water farming is simple, the output is far inferior to the intensive cultivation of later generations.

Especially after mastering the rice seedling raising technology, it is possible to carry out the rice-wheat rotation system near Guanzhong.

That is to grow rice seedlings in a warm place in advance during the cold season of spring, and then transplant them directly in paddy fields when the weather is slightly warmer and the rice seedlings cannot be frozen to death.

Although this is troublesome, it can make the most of the warm season of the year to achieve two crops of rice and wheat a year, or three crops of winter rape, spring wheat, and late rice!
Think about it, if someone else harvests the same piece of land once a year, but you harvest it twice a year, the yield per mu may drop slightly, but the total yield is at least [-] times that of others!
Liu Ying nodded, looked away, looked at Xiao Shi who was beside the old god, and couldn't help but feel sad.

I don't know, it's too late...

When she found out that Liu Bang was marching into Pengcheng that day, Liu Ying immediately went to find Xiao He, uncharacteristically encouraging him to go to Guanzhong as soon as possible.

Xiao He naturally had nothing to do. In fact, Liu Ying didn't need to say that he was planning to set off for Guanzhong within three or two days.

After all, if Liu Ying could know that Liu Bang issued a call to action and went to Pengcheng, he would naturally know too.

An obvious point is that the strategic value of the Guanzhong land is several orders of magnitude higher than that of the Hanzhong land.

Now that Liu Bang has left Guanzhong, Xiao He, as the prime minister, will inevitably go there to sit in charge.

The army's expedition to Pengcheng required a huge amount of food and supplies.

And these things need to be transported from Guanzhong along the former Qin Chi Road.

What surprised Xiao He was that Liu Ying seemed to be bad-mouthing Liu Bang and exaggerating Xiang Yu's military ability.

This kind of thing that destroys the prestige of one's own father and strengthens the ambition of others really makes Xiao He very puzzled.

But his students are thoughtful.

Think about defeat before seeking victory, and leave room for yourself everywhere, which coincides with the principles of Taoism.

So on that day, he pretended to agree to Liu Ying's nonsense, and asked someone to invite Lu Shizhi over to discuss how to help Liu Bang defeat Xiang Yu.

As for the final result, it is natural that Lu Shizhi set off immediately, took a boat down the river, went to Nanyang County to inform Lu Ze, led troops to conquer Chen County, and went all the way east to build a pontoon bridge on the west side of Sui River to support the Han forces in Pengcheng. military.

Well, the reason for taking a boat is because there is no Feige channel from Hanzhong County to Nanyang County.

Hanzhong is sparsely populated. On the road away from human activities, falcons and falcons are all over the sky, and pigeons are flying to send messages, which is undoubtedly an extra meal for these guys.

Liu Ying's ostensible plan was to worry that when Xiang Yu counterattacked Pengcheng, the number of troops led by Liu Bang would not be enough to meet the ten encirclement mentioned in the Art of War.

As for the secret, Liu Ying was preparing for Liu Bang's defeat, so that pontoon bridges would appear on the Sui River to take over the defeated soldiers.

In his remaining memories, Xiang Yu's army that launched the Battle of Pengcheng was only tens of thousands of elite cavalry.

During this period, the cavalry without saddles and horseshoes was not very capable of long-distance raids. If it were not for the large-scale trampling of the Han army due to panic, the number of deaths in battle would actually be small.

Well, in fact, in ancient times, there were not many soldiers who actually died on the battlefield. Usually about [-]% of them died in battle. Even an elite army would inevitably start to collapse.

After that, it was time for the enemy's light cavalry to start their tail-to-tail pursuit.

This is the time when the most people actually died.

The reason why Liu Ying dared to let Lu Ze establish a defense line in Suishui was that the water flow was an obstacle to both the enemy and his own people.

If it is on a plain, even a well-organized army formation would not dare to accept the defeated friendly army head-on.

After all, under the panic of the chaos army, it is very likely that they will overwhelm their own formation and cause a larger-scale rout.

But on the edge of the river, there is a river between the two sides, so you don't have to worry about being washed away by your own people.

But the floating bridge on the river can reawaken the confidence of the defeated soldiers.

Under the hope of life, their emotions will be stabilized to a certain extent.

Although it is also possible that under the pursuit of the enemy army, stampede incidents such as crossing may occur, but at this time, if there are friendly troops waiting in full force on both sides of the pontoon bridge, the chasing enemy would not dare to get too close.

For this reason, Liu Ying specially asked Xiao He to transfer the arrows stored in Hanzhong during this period to Nanyang County along the Han River.

Well, at this time, the Han River is heading west all the way, converging with the Dan River flowing through Nanyang County, then going south, flowing into Yunmeng Lake, and then flowing into the Yangtze River.

In fact, Liu Ying was not worried about Liu Bang's safety. After all, the reason why he was almost overtaken by the Chu army back then, and finally had to persuade Ding Gong to let him go, was mainly because he had to forcefully break through to the north to find Family members in Pei County.

Pei County is to the north of Pengcheng, and there is also the direction where Xiang Yu launched his attack.

But now, their family has safely lived in Hanzhong, and according to the letters sent before, Liu Taigong sent someone to pick up the envoys of Liu Zhong and others, and they are about to arrive in Sanchuan County.

Therefore, Liu Bang, who has no worries about the future, and Xia Houying, an old SSR-level driver, no matter how large the Chu army is, they will not be able to prevent them from escaping at all!

I hope everything will come in time... Liu Ying thought to herself, her little face turned pale, she suppressed the desire to vomit caused by motion sickness, and immediately vowed that she must train a driver who is not inferior to the old driver!

…………

Surabaya County, Pengcheng.

When the sky was not completely bright, Liu Bang, who was drinking celebration wine with the generals until midnight, was lying on the ground with disheveled clothes, scratching his fat stomach from time to time, and snoring loudly.

In his sleep, he seemed to have dreamed of something, and he was constantly cursing.

If you listen carefully, you should be cursing Lu Wan's whining, just flirting with that little girl, not even daring to do things like flirting and cuddling!
As for the matter of falling asleep together, it never happened again!

Really, it's not as good as a beast!

Lu Wan, who was awake and sitting up beside her, was full of contempt. How could a rude man like Liu Bang understand Plato-like love!
Well, the word Plato was what he heard from Liu Ying when he was in Hanzhong.

Lu Wan stepped forward and kicked Liu Bang in his sleep, ready to wash off the smell of alcohol on his body, and drink tea and play chess with Yu Ji.

Well, the tea leaves are defective products that Liu Ying fried and discarded. When they are placed in sandalwood jars inlaid with beautiful jade, they become a sought-after product that exceeds supply...

As for playing chess?

He doesn't know how to go, but plays backgammon taught to him by Liu Ying.

But Yu Ji didn't mock him, it wasn't fear, nor love, but just like Lu Wan, they were a pair of stinky chess baskets who were evenly matched...

When Lu Wan was about to walk out of the hall, she suddenly felt a series of slight vibrations above the ground.

Lu Wan, who has fought for several years, is naturally no stranger to this.

This is a sign that an army is rapidly approaching!

In the main hall, the hangover Liu Bang sat up in shock. He also felt the same shock. At this moment, he dressed in a hurry and prepared to go to investigate in person.

In the Pengcheng area, if there is a large army running at this time, there may be only one.

That is the return of the Chu army who was attacking Qidi!
But, this is impossible?
Fan Kuai, who was stationed in the Liucheng area of ​​Xue County, sent messengers almost twice in the morning and evening to report everything around him.

And until last night, according to the news, everything was still normal.

And farther away, the messenger Liu Bang secretly sent to Qidi even sent back the news that the Chu army was still attacking the Qi army in Panyang City at this moment!

Then, judging from the sound, the Chu army appearing here should have launched an attack from west to east.

Thinking of this, Liu Bang felt a little relaxed.

Don't panic.

That is the direction of Xiao County, between there and Pengcheng, there are 4 Han troops, more than 3 people from Wei State, and [-] people from Sai State and Yong State.

These troops add up to nearly one hundred thousand people!

Since the Chu army came rushing, judging from the sound, there were only 3 to [-] thousand people.

Well, even if he has 3 people!

[-] against [-], the advantage is mine!

Liu Bang made up his mind a bit, and prepared to gather all the hangover generals to climb to the top of the city together. He wanted to show everyone how he commanded thousands of troops to fight!
…………

To the west of Pengcheng, the Han army camp.

The person in charge of the military affairs here was Chai Wu, who had to follow Liu Bang to follow the grain, grass, soldiers and horses that Liu Bang had robbed and transported to Xiang Yu.

Well, because of this incident, Xiang Yu broke the boat and fought a shocking battle in Julu...

This moment is the darkness before dawn, the time when people are most sleepy.

When the Chu army started to kick the battalion, Chai Wu jumped up from the ground, put on his battle armor indiscriminately, and rushed out. While running, he sent orders to his side, asking them to beat the drums and inform the surrounding friendly troops that he was here. encounter an attack.

Chai Wu, who was also battle-hardened, did not panic at all. Although the Chu army suddenly attacked and broke the camp, after all, there were nearly 10,000 people stationed here, and further away, Cao Shen still had [-]+ troops.

As long as he can withstand here, when the army is encircled, it will happen to bloom in the center, and a decisive battle will be fought here!
