After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 409 Returning with the Army
Just after Meng Di led the Han army to defeat the state of Wu, another shocking news came, that is, Yang Hu in Baiju City suddenly declared independence at this time and controlled a large area around him.

And Chen He won Liuhe at this time. Because of such a thing, and the fact that Han and Wu had ceased fighting, after repairing the army, he immediately led his troops to Shucheng to guard against Yang Hu's sudden attack. attack.

Mengdi in Shandao had just finished touring the surrounding area, so he said to Ji Ran beside him.

"Mr. Ji, Shandao has a suitable climate. If it is used to grow food in the future, the effect will be good. It's just that it is often ravaged by floods, so we must find a way to solve this problem."

"Now we have a large number of captive Wu troops in our hands. We can use them to dig waterways and dredge water conservancy. If we can succeed, Shandao will become an important granary for our Han country in the future."

Ji Ran nodded slightly after listening, but he seemed to remember something, and immediately spoke.

"There is one more thing that I didn't mention to my lord before. It's true that I overlooked it. My lord has always emphasized the importance of food, but I have been busy with military affairs recently, so I didn't think of it for a while."

"It is recorded in the Shan Hai Jing that between the black waters in the southwest, there is a field of Du Guang, where Houji was buried. There are ointment bean, ointment rice, ointment millet, and ointment millet. Hundreds of grains grow on their own, and harps are sown in winter and summer, which shows that in the south There are two types of rice a year."

"I have ordered people to search for it to see if anyone can find this kind of rice. If it is feasible, then the grain harvested by our Han country in one year can be equivalent to the harvest of other princes in two years."

"In addition, our rice production is relatively high, and it can even be equal to the harvest of other three or four years abroad. If Shan Shandao can manage it well, and if we can grow this kind of rice in the future, then my country of Han will be happy. Might be excited."

After Meng Di heard this, his spirits were also refreshed. During this period of time, he had been fighting continuously. Although the Han Kingdom had sufficient food, but now, the reserves are running out. If Ji Ran can really find out this kind of rice, then Nature is best.

Because this is not a legend. During the Han Dynasty, there was this kind of twice-cropped rice in Jiaozhi in the south, but Meng Di hadn’t seen it until now, but he didn’t expect that such a thing would happen in the Han Dynasty. It is also recorded in Shan Hai Jing.

This made him more confident about unifying the world in the future, so he nodded and said.

"Mr. Ji is really knowledgeable and talented. With you guarding Shandao, I can rest assured. Qi and Jin are now at war, and I can't stay here for long. I need to get to Feiyi as soon as possible."

At this time, the Han army had recovered after a few days of training, and Meng Di led the army directly to Feiyi.

At this time, Qi State had already been beaten to the point of being powerless to fight back. At the beginning of the war, all the land of Yan State that Qi State had just occupied was declared to have fallen.

During this period of time, in order to win over the doctors of Qi State and his retainers, Tian Chang was also unique. He selected beautiful women from Qi State to rush into his house, and all the guests and retainers who came to the door could freely enter and exit. house.

All of a sudden, there were countless pregnant women in his backyard, even more than a dozen. Now facing the menacing attack of Jin people, Tian Chang worshiped his uncle Tian Shu as the general, and Gao Wupi as the deputy general, leading the troops. To meet the Jin army.

After getting the news, Zhao Yang began to convene everyone to discuss countermeasures, and he spoke first.

"Qi now has 10,000+ cavalry, but their generals don't seem to be good at cavalry combat. Instead, they go out together with their chariots, so I decided to separate the cavalry from the chariots."

"Use our chariot soldiers to resist Qi's army, and then send our cavalry to go straight down to Gaotang. This is the fiefdom of the Tian family and one of the most affluent places in Qi."

"If we can take this place, then we can get a lot of money and food, and at the same time, we can also send people to inform the State of Lu, asking them to send troops to assist us in attacking the State of Qi, otherwise, our cavalry will directly attack the State of Lu country."

After Youliang heard this, he hesitated for a moment, but he still opened his mouth to remonstrate.

"My lord, if we divide our forces at this time, our strength will be weakened. If we lose the war, we can only lead the troops to retreat, and we will not be able to suppress the development of Qi in a short time."

Zhao Yang shook his head slightly, then he stood up slowly, with a very confident expression on his face, he raised his head and looked outside the barracks, with a firm and calm tone, and spoke slowly.

"Tian Chengzi of the Qi State used his own schemes to kill the king and become the Prime Minister of the Qi State. How could such a person be convincing? Those who are capable will not bow their knees to such a conspiracy."

"I heard that Tian Chengzi even opened the door of his own harem and allowed his wives and concubines to have an affair with his retainers. Such a thing is simply unheard of. A capable person must spurn him. Under such circumstances, what else is there? Worried?"

"At that time, I will personally lead the army to fight against the Qi army. As long as our cavalry can achieve results in the Gaotang area, then the Tian clan will definitely withdraw its troops. At that time, we can chase after each other and cooperate with the cavalry to attack."

"Afterwards, with the power of a great victory, we will beat the Qi army to the point where there is no power to fight back. At that time, the war between Wu and Han should also reach a fever pitch, and we can take this opportunity to unite with Lu to fight back. Attack Han."

"If the stalemate continues, it will not be a good thing for the Jin country. More importantly, the Han country cannot deal with the Wu country calmly. Although King Fucha of Wu has elite soldiers and powerful generals, he is too domineering and arrogant."

"And Meng Di is a person who is good at using soldiers. Under the circumstances of the ups and downs, from what Zhao sees, the state of Wu may not be the opponent of the state of Han. Therefore, the battle before us must be resolved quickly. If it is later, I am afraid. It would be useless.”

After hearing this, You Liang also felt that these words were very reasonable. After thinking about it for a while, he stood up, with a solemn expression on his face, saluted very solemnly, and then took the initiative to ask for a fight.

"If that's the case, I'm willing to lead the cavalry to attack Gaotang, and try to take the land of Gaotang in the shortest possible time. At the same time, I will send people to the country of Lu to cooperate with the master's plan."
