In the winter of the first year of Qianning (894), the vast land of northern China was covered in snow. The once powerful Tang Empire was like a dying old man. up.Her two most powerful feudal towns, Li Keyong in Hedong and Zhu Wen in Xuanwu, still maintain a superficial calm. The highest seat of this ancient empire.Counting from coming here in October last year, Wang Qinian has been in the village for a year. Last November, his good friend Gao Chong came to the village with a secret letter from Huainan Jiedu. They committed the serious crime of robbing an official car, murdering and stealing goods, and they also brought a blank hemp paper from the deputy envoy of the Haozhou regiment to sue.Along with him came a secret letter written by Yuan Xi, Yang Xingmi's confidant, ordering him to lurk in the village, observe carefully, and help train the army. Yuan Xi's letter boiled down to one sentence, crucify Lu Fang, and stay with him no matter what.

Zhang Zai of Haozhou saw the 50 guan coins and [-] sets of armored vests presented by Wang Yu, and immediately sent spies to verify the battlefield where the caravan was robbed, and he believed Wang Yu's words that the refugees were indeed robbed by Huainan Jiedu. Caravan armor is not rare in troubled times, but there are few cavalry in the south. Even if you search Haozhou for such excellent armor, you can come up with about [-] sets. The tragic scene on the battlefield is definitely not a fake.After hearing Wang Yu's surrender, Zhang Daxi, because Qijiazhuang is located in the Xucheng area at the junction of Sizhou and Haozhou, the government office has long been burned and killed by the rebellious soldiers coming and going, and the city is also empty. It was badly damaged, and I was short of troops, so I moved all the remaining people there to enrich Haozhou, so it became a buffer zone where no one cares, and refugees and powerful people ran rampant everywhere. These seven villages are the largest of them. Zhi, look at the hundreds of guards that Wang Yu brought here are quite strong, it seems that their strength is not weak, and they have a grudge against Yang Xingmi, so don't worry about them falling to Huainan, as long as you give him an empty title, at least you can be your opponent against Huainan. The barrier, even to inquire about the news.It's really a pie that fell from the sky.So he immediately sued a general Xu Chengcheng and sent him off after some encouragement.

But Lu Fang took that Wang Fo'er to mix with the disabled soldiers of Heiyundu all day long.Among the wounded soldiers, there were about sixteen or seven people with disabled arms and legs, all of them were dragged over at once, talked with each other in detail, called each other brothers, and dragged them home for dinner.The wounded soldiers were in an embarrassing mood when they were recuperating, and they were worried that they would return to Huainan without support, so Lu Fang patted his chest and said that this matter fell on him. Staying at home is not a problem, even the daughter-in-law can arrange it for you.Everyone was delighted when they heard this, and seeing that Wang Qinian respected Lu Fang, they all agreed to Lu Fang's invitation, and even a dozen or so soldiers who were only slightly injured joined Lu Fang's command.

The matter of waiting for the wounded soldiers is over, and it is almost the Chinese New Year.Lu conveniently selected more than 900 cronies from the clan, and the wounded soldiers who had healed went to Wang Fo'er. After Wang Fo'er annexed the forces of Xu Dayan and Li She'er, there were more than 50 young and strong men under his command, plus There were more than 70 women, young and old, and if it wasn't for the food looted earlier, they would have run out of food.After Lu Fang arrived, he and Wang Fo'er immediately selected a hundred people who were stronger and more brave, and trained those wounded soldiers as instructors. The standards of 20 mu and 40 mu of hemp fields are allocated to the fields, farm tools and seeds are allocated, the fields are divided, and residences are built. The front and back of the houses are also planted according to the same requirements in the village.The cattle and mules that were seized to pull the carts were distributed to each village, and the harvest was distributed according to the ratio of 20 people to 4 people. After the basic training of the more than a hundred people was completed, they were distributed to the villages with the soldiers of Heiyundu and Lu Fang's cronies. Either the head of the village or the deputy of the village.As soon as spring comes, they are busy allocating cattle and labor.Wearing straw sandals all year round, Ge Yi and more than a dozen entourages constantly ran from one village to another, supervising how the farming work was going and whether there was any practice of martial arts during the off-season.Even if I have a little spare time every day, I will not let go of practicing spear skills and bows. In short, I can't wait to treat one person as three people.In the beginning, Wang Qinian was quite suspicious of Lu Fang, guarding against what kind of tricks he was playing.Later, seeing that this person is not a good wine woman, but seeing the luxuriant seedlings in the fields and the fatness of the livestock, he smiled.When I saw the head of the village, I asked how the crops were growing and whether the animals were sick.After a few months, he became dark and thin, like an old farmer on the side of the road, and gradually lost interest, hanging out with those patriarchs alone in the village.

In a blink of an eye, the autumn harvest is over, and the yield of corn and potatoes is astonishing. Looking at the piled-up barn, even the villagers who usually complain about the heavy labor and strict discipline are all smiling, and the old people in the middle are even more helpless. He praised the merits of the school captain (Lu Fang got the title of a Diannong school captain from Yang Xingmi), and those village elders who always had a dark face and forced them to work and practice looked much more amiable.Although a small half of these grains are not their own, it is unavoidable for that dynasty to farm and pay for grain. What's more, in this time of war and chaos, it is enough to have a bowl of rice to eat. Even the labor is for oneself, and the practice of martial arts is to protect The purpose of digging ditches and repairing ditches in the family house is to irrigate the fields, and repairing the houses is either for the later villagers to live in, or for the craftsmen who make their own farm tools and weapons. Although it is very tiring, it is better than before. hundred times.Strange to say, that young captain is really rare, he doesn't like women's drinks, but he is happy when he sees the crops in the field growing well.
