Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 740

"Jiang Jiong, I know this person, he and Jiang Xu are indeed not in the same family." Ma Chao frowned.

Zhang Fei smiled and patted Jiang Wei's shoulder: "Don't be so sad, I just said that Meng Qi is a person with clear grievances and grievances."

"Three generals, this is you"

Since Ma Chao entered Sichuan, he has worked with Zhang Fei for the longest time, and it was the first time he saw Zhang Fei being so enthusiastic about his subordinates.

"Meng Qi didn't know about it. Jiang Boyue was recommended by Ziyu to me, saying that his skills were comparable to Deng Shizai, so I took Boyue to meet Shizai." Zhang Fei explained with a smile.

As soon as Ma Chao heard that it was recommended by Lan Tian, ​​he looked at Jiang Wei again in an instant, and then nodded affirmatively: "General Lan has a bright eye, and his ability to recognize people is unparalleled in the world. Bo Yue and Deng Shizai are equally lucky."

Maxima is common, but Bole is not. Lantian is that Bole, and the talents recommended are already shining. Jiang Wei is rarely favored at such a young age, so Ma Chao has such emotion.

Jiang Wei didn't know what Ma Chao meant, but he was more interested in Deng Ai. Whether Deng Ai was in Zitong or Hanzhong, he kept a low-key farm according to Lantian's instructions, so the outside world knew little about him.

Although Jiang Wei's time in Wudu was very short, Lantian's name repeatedly appeared in his ears, which is enough to show that this person has great influence under Liu Bei's command. It is a pity that those high-ranking officials in Luoyang have not yet paid attention to Lantian.

Because it was recommended by Lantian, Ma Chao's attitude towards Jiang Wei also changed. Although he didn't show any particular closeness, he wasn't indifferent or hostile either.

Zhang Fei and Jiang Wei rested at Yangping Pass for half a day, then set off for Mianyang County, where Deng Ai was stationed, only a few dozen miles away from Yangping Pass. Ma Chao proposed to lead the way with the two because there was no military affairs in the pass.

"Meng Qi, is it really unaffected that you leave your post without authorization?" Zhang Fei joked.

Ma Chao responded with a smile: "Your Majesty ordered the last general to garrison Yangping Pass. The purpose is to support Wudu and Hanzhong in the middle and prevent Cao's army from attacking a certain place. Now that Yide and General Wei are not in a hurry, I am at ease at Yangping Pass."

"Alright, I've been busy harassing Liangzhou for the past two years, so I don't have time to see that little fellow Deng Ai, and I don't know how he's doing in Mianyang." Zhang Fei frowned.

Ma Chao replied: "The three generals will know after going to see it. How can General Lan's disciples disappoint you? The supplies at Yangping Pass and Nanzheng are basically from Mianyang. Deng Shizai has already obtained the essence of General Lan's farming."

"Oh? Then I want to see and see." Zhang Fei was aroused, and rode his horse to the east first, followed by Ma Chao and Jiang Wei.

A few hours later, a group of people arrived near Mianyang. It was spring plowing in March at this time, and busy figures could be seen everywhere in the fertile farmland on both sides of the Han River.

Jiang Wei found that no one paid attention to them, and they were all concentrating on composting and turning the soil. The golden sunlight shone on the faces of the farmers, outlining a picture of happy spring plowing.

"These farmlands are so tidy and these people are not afraid." Jiang Wei was very puzzled.

Zhang Fei explained: "The regular paddy field method is convenient for dividing and managing farmland areas. It was created by Ziyu when he was in Xinye, and Deng Shizai learned it well. Foreign enemies invade, and they throw away their picks to fight."

"Could it be that General Lan created the method of farming both offensively and defensively?" Jiang Wei's eyes widened in shock.

"Of course, I remember that the villagers in Xinye were trained by Gao Boping himself." Seeing everything in front of him, Zhang Fei suddenly remembered the scene 20 years ago, how similar it was to the spring plowing in Xinye.

Gao Shun played less after the fall of Xiapi, but defeated Cao Cao many times with Guan Yu two years ago, once again let the prestige of the fallen camp resound throughout the world.

Although the fallen army returned to Jiaozhou after the war, it has always been feared by the monarch and ministers of the Wei State. Cao Xiu, the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry, knew the power of the heavy army, so he suggested to Cao Pi that the Wei State should also build heavy infantry.

Although Cao Cao left Cao Pi with the country of Kyushu, it was not easy for Cao Pi to know that it was not easy to be the leader of one side. The tiger and leopard cavalry expanded in the later period of Cao Cao, and the heavy cavalry was reduced in armor to save expenses, and there was no money left to form a team. Heavy infantry.

Although the gentry in Henan had a lot of wealth, Cao Pi abided by Cao Cao's instructions during his lifetime, so that the military power must be in the hands of the Cao family. After Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor, he promoted Cao Hong to Hussar General and ordered Cao Hong to guard Yecheng and supervise the production of armor. I hope this Cao Hong can be like Cao Hong. Just like forming Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, they built an army for Wei Guo at their own expense.

Pointing to the distance, Ma Chao said with emotion: "Two months later, when the seedlings rise, the banks of the Han River will be green, and when they are harvested in August, they will be golden again. That scene is really unforgettable."

Large-scale and standardized planting will only appear in the Tuntian area. If you look down from the sky, the crops in pieces are like an army formation, and the 'thousands of troops' stand neatly in the field. Anyone who sees the scene will feel shocked.

"From what Meng Qi said, you seem to come to Mianyang often?" Zhang Fei frowned suddenly.

"Well, Yangping Pass is very close to Mianyang. When I am not busy with military affairs, I like to come and talk to Deng Shizai." Ma Chao replied with a smile.

"Ahem, is Autumn Harvest coming to help?" Zhang Fei asked.

"Uh, there are more villagers here in Deng Shizai than in my Yangpingguan garrison. There is no need to send people to help, right?" Ma Chao was stunned.

Zhang Fei was noncommittal, and continued to ask: "Since Meng Qi comes here often, did Deng Shizai leave you a harvest feast?"

Ma Chao nodded slightly, "I remember one time, when each village slaughtered chickens and sheep, the scene was more lively than the Chinese New Year. Although the villagers' meals were simple, they tasted really good."

"I can only blame you for not helping, otherwise Deng Shizai would have stayed a few more times." Zhang Feixin said that you are still thin-skinned, and if I live near the water, I will live on the 'moon'.

"Huh?" Ma Chao didn't know what Zhang Fei wanted to say, so he could only agree with him with a smile on his face. Jiang Wei was even more puzzled by Monk Zhang Er.

"Since Meng Qi often comes to Mianyang, do you know where Deng Shizai is?" Zhang Fei raised his hand and looked into the distance, wondering where to find Deng Ai.

During the spring plowing season, Deng Ai was mostly in the fields, and would not hide in the county seat alone to enjoy the blessings like ordinary officials.

Deng Ai has been fascinated by it since he was a child, learning how to get close to the land like Lantian, and the joy of harvest can bring unparalleled happiness.

Ma Chao replied with a smile: "Three generals, our tall horses are very eye-catching, so just wait here for a while, and someone will lead us there in a while."

Zhang Fei felt his heart beating when he heard it, thinking that he still underestimated Ma Chao, maybe this person is in charge of Tuntian District in Mianyang, right?Otherwise, why is there still someone to lead the way?

"But these people are simply..." Jiang Wei didn't finish his sentence, which meant that the farmers were too busy to finish their work, so how could they have time to greet us?

Ma Chao didn't continue to explain to Jiang Wei, and everyone walked aimlessly in the field.

About half an hour later, there was a fast horse running towards them in the southeast direction, and the corners of Ma Chao's mouth raised slightly when he saw this.
