Coincidentally!My name is Liu Bian

Chapter 125: Chapter [-]: Wu Jushu picks up people

After not seeing each other for nearly a month, Zhangwu County feels like it has expanded a lot.

At least Liu Bian and his party took a rough look around and realized that there were many more buildings in Zhangwu County, such as countless houses, and the houses were all made of blue bricks. Looking at the road surface, it was very flat, and it seemed that it had been deliberately repaired. However, when I walked on the road, there was no mud; the fields had been cultivated and the weeds were gone, but no wheat or rice was planted...

Instead, they are cabbage, potherb, coriander, radish and other vegetables, which are very down-to-earth - according to Liu Bei, these vegetables are all cold-resistant and are very suitable for farming in winter!When the spring equinox comes next year, we can mainly plant grains.

Hmm~ Liu Bian had a slightly bitter look on his face: He’s not interested in any of these vegetables?

However, in any case, there is no need to worry about Zhangwu County’s food reserves. I believe it will not be difficult to survive the winter with these vegetables to satisfy hunger?

In addition, Liu Bian keenly discovered that hemp, millet, millet, and bean sprouts were also grown in a small amount of fields. However, compared with vegetables such as cabbage, the four grains were not enough to see, and during the winter, the growth period was even slower, making them of little use. .

Looking away, Liu Bian sent He Xian to ride a horse to Zhangwu County House and notify Jushou to pick him up quickly.

Liu Bian and his party stayed where they were, waiting for Ju Shou to arrive.

Although Liu Bian still wanted to visit those tile houses to see if there was a fire pit built in the house.

After a while, Ju Shou and others did not come, but Liu Bian waited for a few passing farmers.The farmers in coarse cloth shorts, carrying fishing rods and wooden barrels, talked and laughed, and were in a very happy mood.

They said they were farmers... The other party took a few more glances, fixed his eyes on Zhang Yan, and said in surprise:
"This...isn't this leader Zhang Yan?!"

Ok?
Liu Bian raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Yan. Zhang Yan's eyes lit up and she said in surprise: "Yan Da? Yan Er? Yan San? Why are you here?!"

The farmers, whose names were scrawled like Yan Da, Yan Er, and Yan San, ran forward happily, but when they approached Zhang Yan, they were intercepted by a group of guards - by He Baihan Face, shouted to the three farmers:

"Stop! Don't come here!"

The three farmers were stunned.

Zhang Yan patted her head and glanced at Liu Bian... Zhang Yan was standing next to Liu Bian, and Liu Bian was the prince, how could he allow strangers to approach him? ——I'm afraid His Highness is willing, but the guards won't!
"Your Highness, please allow me to leave for a moment?" Zhang Yan raised her hand to Liu Bian.

Liu Bian waved his hand and clearly agreed with Zhang Yan to withdraw.

So, Zhang Yan stepped forward and came to the three farmers. He easily took them over with his big hands, took them to another corner, and talked cordially with them.

I don’t know what Zhang Yan said to the three farmers, but I saw the three farmers looking towards Liu Bian from time to time, with expressions of hesitation, surprise and awe on their faces, which made Liu Bian feel interesting and interesting. funny.

Finally, Zhang Yan returned and said to Liu Bian: "Your Highness, these three are all veterans under my command. It's a good thing that they have stopped serving as soldiers and become farmers instead."

The three peasants took a step forward and bowed to Liu Bian: "I have met His Highness!"

"No need to be polite." Liu Bian smiled, "The three of you were soldiers before, were you from the Yellow Turbans?"

The three farmers looked at each other in shock, their ears heated up, and they all said "yes".

"Youdao, once you become a soldier, you will be a soldier all your life?" Liu Bian asked, "Why don't you become soldiers and become farmers?"

A farmer said: "Your Highness, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! I am still a soldier, still a soldier."

"Oh? Then why...?"

"It was requested by Mr. Jushu." The farmer scratched his head and bumped his head and said, "We were originally Yellow Turban soldiers. Mr. Jushu said that Zhangwu County is currently safe and there is no intrusion from the Yi tribe, so there is no need to station heavy troops in the city. Here, they changed us into temporary farmers and required us to farm every day——"

The farmer spoke confusingly, but Liu Bian understood it.

Tuntian!

It turns out that Jushou is really farming in Zhangwu County. Is he doing well?
Well done!

With his eyes crooked, Liu Bian said: "I understand. You three, what are you going to do?"

"Catch fish!" The farmer replied, "This place is close to the sea and there are many water sources. Follow this road and walk one mile to the east, and there will be a big lake. The big lake is connected to the sea. You can catch a lot of fish in the lake. Woolen cloth?"

The other two farmers shook their fishing rods in response to the situation and echoed: "When I catch the big fish, shall I invite Your Highness and Chief Zhang Yan to eat fish together?"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yan corrected him with a straight face: "Call me 'General'!" "

The three farmers were silent for a moment before changing their words: "Your Highness! General Zhang Yan! We are going to catch fish!"

Liu Bian suppressed his laughter and said with a smile: "Pay attention to safety, you can go now!"

The three farmers were overjoyed and bowed goodbye to Liu Bian.

After walking far, the surprise sounds of the three farmers came: "Is that His Highness? He is so young!" "But, he is so kind! He talked to me!" "I have decided! I want to Catch a big sea fish and present it to His Highness!" "You are so beautiful! Impossible! I will catch a bigger fish than you - no! It's a bucket!"

"Hahahaha!" The laughter gradually faded away.

But it made Liu Bian and his party smile especially.

Liu Bian turned around and said to Zhang Yan: "General, these three soldiers of yours are really fun? I also want to fish. I wonder if I can catch fish?"

Zhang Yan boasted: "Your Highness will definitely catch the biggest one when fishing!"

Tian Feng coughed a few times and reminded: "My lord, it is not convenient to fish now, why not wait until next year?"

Liu Bian blinked, as if he thought of something, his smile gradually faded.

At this moment, Liu Bian and his party finally saw Ju Shou and others——

"Master!!"

Jushou and Guan Hai acted as horsemen and drove the carriage.

Behind the carriage, there was a group of infantry.

The infantrymen were running at a trot, taking their time and not falling behind.

Seeing this, Liu Bian felt slightly sorry for the group of infantrymen.

However, what was more important was the joy that filled Liu Bian's heart when he saw Ju Shou and Guan Hai appearing unexpectedly.This made Liu Bian finally feel: he had really returned to Bohai County——

Even if he is in Zhangwu County and has not returned to Nanpi County, it is enough to make him happy.

The carriage stopped, and the infantry stood up neatly, without any panting.Liu Bian was pleased that the quality of these infantrymen was good, and he heard Jushou excitedly say:
"My lord! Jushu has met my lord!"

Jushu jumped out of the carriage neatly and bowed to Liu Bian.

On the side, Guan Hai also clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness! - Brother Zhang!"

Zhang Yan nodded towards Guan Hai, her face calm, but a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.

Unfortunately, Zhang Yan's joy did not last long, and she was interrupted by Zhang Fei - "Hey~" Zhang Fei giggled and interrupted loudly, "You're welcome, you're welcome!"

Zhang Fei and Zhang Yan have the same surname "Zhang" and can also be called "Brother Zhang".

Zhang Yan drooped her head, and Guan Hai said: "I didn't call you! I was saying hello to Zhang...Brother Zhang Yan!"

Zhang Fei curled his lips deliberately and muttered: "I don't deserve to be greeted by you?"

"Third brother!" Guan Yu narrowed his eyes, while Liu Bei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said warmly, "Don't mess around."

Zhang Fei said "Oh" and stopped making trouble obediently.

Jushou smiled, saluted everyone again, and said, "Long time no see, everyone, thank you for your hard work! Can Rongshou please help you to cleanse yourself from the wind and dust? - Please!"

Spreading his hands, Jushou made an invitation gesture and asked Liu Bian to dismount and get into the carriage.

Afterwards, when Liu Bian was sitting in the car, Ju Shou and Guan Hai drove the carriage and led everyone back to Zhangwu County House.

Naturally, regarding Liu Bian's infantry and real horses - there are more than [-] infantrymen and [-] horses left, which were captured by the Wuhuan Tuqi during the encirclement and suppression!Speaking of these horses... In fact, there were originally [-] horses, but most of them were taken away by Gongsun Zan, leaving only a few thousand for Liu Bian.According to Gongsun Zan’s words:
"Youzhou is a vast area with few people, and there is a prairie outside the pass, which is perfect for raising horses.

And if Liu Benruo takes the horses back to Bohai County, it only costs a few thousand... After all, no matter how much land there is in Bohai County, there is not enough grassland and feed to feed the horses! "

Liu Bian once ridiculed Gongsun Zan and said with a smile: "It is a good thing for a general to train cavalry to defend the border, but it is too extravagant for the general to only choose white horses... May I ask what should be done with the remaining horses?" Could it be that they were killing horses to store grain?"

The last sentence was purely a casual remark by Liu Bian.

After all, when food was in short supply, Gongsun Zan actually ordered horses to be slaughtered and meat eaten.

How did Gongsun Zan reply?

Gongsun Zan... Gongsun Zan smiled and said nothing, and only said, "Your Highness, don't worry, I will not do that."

As for what Gongsun Zan would do with the remaining horses, Liu Bian didn't know.

...After coming back to his senses, Liu Bian saw that Ju Shou was very calm and couldn't help but ask:
"Aren't you curious, sir?"
