The Yellow River is the mother river of China. The Chinese people have been able to breed until now, all due to the nourishment of this river. However, the Yellow River has also become the source of Wang Hou's headache.

That master of the family who managed the river 150 years ago, how could you use your hand to tremble your hand and you have to tie Puyang City to the north bank of the Yellow River? Now, it’s only half a day from here to north. It’s Hedong Hua County, where the Hebei general Yan Liang stationed, has more than 30,000 elite soldiers from Hebei!

Imagine that in a later Hong Kong film, the whistleblower of the Good Brother on the Meat Street whistles, more than 30,000 shirtless, tattooed on their bodies, and a little boy carrying a watermelon knife to break a stool popping out of the alley. The scene, thinking about it makes people feel numb.

However, in the society where there are many brothers, Brother Yan also has headaches, just like now!

"Wang Hou, the prefect of Xiaguan Dongjun, paid homage to General Yan. He has heard of the general's name for a long time. When he saw him today, he is indeed worthy of his reputation! Look at the general's face! His face is like heavy coal, his beard is like a broom, his height is eight feet, and his dog's back and pork waist is really a famous man. Wang Hou is so impressed that he is overwhelmed..."

The big sword given by Wang Hou on the military case is good. The green blade is bright and the steel mouth is worth thousands of guan on the market. However, looking at the guy who bows and bows in front of him, the saliva is almost sprayed on his face. Yan Liang was confused. The blue veins on his forehead are leaping and the corners of his mouth are twitching unconsciously to the side. He listens to his verbal words for a long time and listens to the verbal words for the third time. He raises his hand helplessly.

"Premier Wang is going to be so noisy again! You are a traitor Cao Cao, and you are the general of Duke Yuan, and you have no choice but to say anything for your master! If there is nothing to do, please say goodbye!"

"Why did the general say this?"

Unexpectedly, this sentence poked the hornet's nest again, his big eyes widened, and Wang Hou bowed with heartache again with heavy fists.

"Wang dares to ask General! Is General Han Chen?"

This made Yan Liang nervous. Although the world was falling apart, everyone still respected Emperor Xian of Han as the truth, especially Cao Cao used the emperor to command the princes. This issue of status is very serious! If he said the wrong thing, he would be disrespectful to the emperor now, which may cause trouble. His chest was straight and his face was stern. He was shouting straight: "Of course he is a Han minister!"

"The lower officials are also Han officials! The lower officials also have seals and ribbons personally granted by His Majesty. The lower officials' herdsman Dongjun happened to be stationed nearby to combat the thieves and bandits. The Han civil servants met with the Han officials and the neighbors walked around each other, why did they each have their own masters?"

OK! It's almost possible to get this far, Yan Liang has no time to say, and the two armies are fighting and will not kill them! Resisting the urge to pull out the sword and slash this guy, Yan Liang stood up helplessly, bent down hysterically and clasped his fists.

"The king's mansion, the king's prefect! I am a rough general and not good at going around in circles. What can you tell me clearly?"

Yan Liang was mentally prepared. If Wang Hou had nothing to do, he would sign a temporary ceasefire agreement or restrict the soldiers from robbing each other. As long as he could send him away, Yan Liang could agree. However, even so, Wang Hou's words still made him feel disbelief and his dark goldfish eyes widened, and he was almost vomiting blood in shock.

"Borrow a horse!"

"Premier Wang, this general is a military horse, not a farmland horse! Please come back!"

It was really the first time to create the world. The two princes were about to start a war. One of the prefects asked the other general to borrow the horses and cultivate the land! In amazement, Yan Liang even thought Wang Hou was amused. Did the horse's hooves kick the horse's hooves?

However, when he heard Yan Liang refuse, Wang Hou quickly waved his hands and shook his head anxiously: "Wang's move is also for the general!"

He was really laughed by Wang Hou's anger, and then knelt down and went back. Yan Liang waved his hand in a hilarious way: "For the good general, Yan is stupid, please give Wang Taishou some advice!"

"General Yan, Puyang is on the north bank of the Yellow River, right? Puyang is an isolated city, and the city wall has been destroyed by the Prime Minister and Lu Bu's battle, and the troops are only eight thousand county and state soldiers! The general knows what the county and state soldiers are so virtuous! Even the general can go to Puyang to inquire. The subordinate has just cut off three thousand old people, and only five thousand jobs are left! Not to mention the general's 30,000 elite troops, five thousand iron cavalry is enough to sweep Puyang!"

This sentence involved some military secrets, and Yan Liang couldn't help but tighten his eyebrows again, and asked solemnly: "What does the prefect Wang mean?"

"Since Puyang cannot resist the general's army at all, will the food and grass cultivated by Puyang be all from the general after autumn mature?"

Yan Liang was really excited to hear this. Don’t you hear the "Sun Tzu's Art of War" say: In the method of using troops, if you run a thousand chariots, a thousand chariots, a hundred thousand armors, and a thousand miles of grain, then the internal and external expenses, the use of guests, the materials of rubber paint, and the delivery of chariots, the daily expenses will be paid for a thousand gold, and then a hundred thousand troops will be promoted! If you can transport grain from your own territory, you will only have one stone left to the battlefield! If you pick up cheap food and grass on the battlefield, it is indeed worth investing in it.

And this is not over yet! Seeing Yan Liang start to be moved, Wang Hou started to sigh again and complain.

"Actually, Yuan Gong has four generations and three masters, with a reputation in the world, and has four states, with hundreds of thousands of armors under his command, and is very powerful! Look at Cao Gong again, Yanyu Xusi, in name, Yanyu Xusi, looking at the scenery, but Xuzhou is the world of thieves in Taishan, Guanzhong is in chaos, Yanzhou Yuzhou is in decline among the ravages of the Yellow Turban thieves and the Lv thieves. Behind it is Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu, with few people and few soldiers, and only 30,000 people can manage it. It is simply a striking stone with an egg!"

"Mr. Cao also knows it well, but Mr. Cao and Mr. Yuan are young friends, if they don't fight in a fight, they will be completely disgraceful in front of their former friends. How can they raise their heads!"

"So the matter in the Central Plains is that this autumn, Mr. Yuan went south to make trouble! The general would not be so nervous!"

Yan Liang was originally still jokingly, but Wang Hou's words made his face gradually solemn. After pondering for a long time, Yan Liang finally raised his head and asked dullly.

"The king's mansion, how many horses do you want to borrow from Chunfen?"

"Of course, the more you have, the better. Wang will borrow as much as the general can borrow me. If there is any loss, there will be tens of thousands of stones of military ration in Puyang, and Wang can also afford it!"

"Okay, that book will be transferred to you two thousand horses, and there are some beasts in the army who will lend you to the spring farm together!"

"Thank you, General! General is the incarnation of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trustworthiness, and our role model!"

With a happy bow, Wang Hou threw away a lot of bullshits and said no money. However, Brother Yan and Brother Lu are not the same. Their face was a little bit of spitting on their faces. He served tea early and drove Wang Hou out, which made Wang Hou not even able to produce his drafts. He was still depressed while walking.

Watching him leave, he picked up the sword sent by Wang Hou and tried it with his fingers on the blade. Yan Liang nodded with emotion: "The sword is a good sword!"

However, he glanced at Wang Hou's leaving figure, but he drew his sword and stood up with a buzzing disdain.

"But people are flattering people, they might as well tug Liu Yan! Cao Cao's intention to guard Dongjun is really exhausted!"

…………

"It's actually borrowed!"

Looking at the more than 2,000 horses and more than 800 cows brought back from Huaxian County, not only Zhao Yun's chin almost fell off, but Cao Hongjie himself was also beautiful with big eyes wide open.

Just like Yan Liang felt that it was just like a fantasy. When she learned that Wang Hou was going to find Yuan Jun, Cao Hongjie felt that he was furious and confused. Her little hands kept placing his forehead. Even if she saw Wang Hou going to Hua County with a humming gong and a gong, she didn't expect much hope.

But now, with just a mouth, Wang Hou really fooled the crowds of animals from the enemy! It was a big fool than Uncle Benshan! Seeing these cows! Horses! The shock to her was incredible!

A woman's curiosity is comparable to a cat. When she watched the animals enter the city, she was shocked for a while, then she opened her teeth and claws, grabbed Wang Hou's collar, and her little head was about to repay Wang Hou's face, asking in a hurry.

"Tell me quickly and tell me quickly! Why did you fool Yan Liang into dizzy!"

Good guy, I have learned all the Northeast dialects in later generations!

In fact, before he had the idea of ​​attacking Yan Liang, Wang Hou was also confident. First of all, Yan Liang! In the book of the Later Han Dynasty, Ju Su, the military advisor of Yuan Shao’s camp, commented on him: benign and narrow-minded, even if he was brave, he should not be alone! It means that Yan Liang is narrow-minded, impatient, and not meticulous in thinking. He is a brave general, but he is not suitable to lead the army alone!

Being regarded as the number one strong general in Hebei, Yan Liang naturally has his arrogance and is extremely arrogant! So Wang Hou's previous words were all praising him and using his self-confidence! Let him feel that taking Puyang food is like taking things out of his bag!

Secondly, Yuan Shao was one level higher than Cao Cao in terms of strength, and Yuan Jun was also arrogant and arrogant. As the prefect of Dongjun, Wang Hou was on duty in Huaxian in the name of the official, and was so humble, which gave the other party an illusion that Xu Du had insufficient confidence in resisting, further making Yan Liang let go of his guard.

Don’t blame the ancients for being simple. After all, this era does not have as many telecom frauds as there are many tricks in later generations, and Wang Hou is still on an official role. Many factors are intertwined and finally completed this plot.

However, Wang Houn could tell Cao Hongjie that your husband, I'm going to be the grandson opposite you! He nodded and flattered Yan Liang, and he felt comfortable. Was he fooled him? He was raising his chin, his forehead was facing the sky, and he hummed proudly with a tall and mighty look.

"What is fooling around? Your master is so handsome! He is so imposing. With this face, this momentum touched Yan Liang! When I arrived in Hua County, I explained to Yan Liang with reason and emotion! Looking at my handsome face, I felt that my official was kind and loving to the people. Yan Liang felt guilty and felt ashamed of self-harm. He immediately burst into tears and delivered it with both hands, and borrowed the horses!"

"Tsk, just blow it!"

He didn't believe it at all, so he let go of Wang Hou's collar, and Cao Hongjie rolled his eyes very much disdainfully.

…………

The livestock on the plowing land were borrowed, but except for more than 800 cows, the horses could not be plowed into the plowing field as soon as possible. After all, in Chinese history, it makes sense to use ox to cultivate for thousands of years!

The biggest difference is that the ox's scapula is huge, and the pull stick can be directly stuck in front of the scapula and push and pull forward with the strength of the shoulders, so the force is extremely strong. The scapula of the horse cannot get stuck in the harness. In the beginning, the Romans used horse plowing to put the leather case directly on the horse's neck. The major artery was strangled and they couldn't breathe after walking a few steps. The horse plowing naturally was not as good as the ox plowing.

Another point is that the delicate horse hooves of early horses could not adapt to the rough fields and were extremely prone to collapse.

However, these two points are not a problem for Wang Hou!

If the shoulder blades are small, then use cloth and leather to make large soft harnesses, put them on the horse's chest, and use the horse's chest force as a push. In this way, the horse's farming power will greatly increase! As for horse hooves, do you hear a technique called nailing horseshoe?

I considered Ma Geng last year, and Wang Hou was prepared for these two things.

With Yan Liang's slow horses coming, the suburbs of Puyang City suddenly became lively these days, with jingling sounds everywhere. From Wang Hou's luggage, baskets of U-shaped horseshoes were transported out.

Wang Yuan, the leader of the blacksmith who followed Wang Hou, was also busy and became a top. He was forced out of his body. His good temper was still gone until now. This gentle man from Bashu now exploded like a firecracker and ran back and forth in the shed outside the county town, swearing at the top of the Puyang County soldiers who were transferred over. He was extremely angry and pointed directly at his nose and cursed.

"Are you a fool? I've told you how many times! The horse's hooves must be rubbed off the rotten skin first, and then nailed the horse's soles! You've nailed it again, take it down and nail it again!"

"The horse's hooves were cracked again! Get down! I don't have to eat today!"

Under his command, a soldier of more than 400 counties and states were depressed and swung his hammer sadly to put new shoes on these proud big animals.

The horses who had just nailed the horseshoe were obviously not used to it. They finally put them down from the stakes of the horses, and they all dived back and forth to slam the ground and slapped the slums.

But they didn't have time to adapt. They had just nailed the horseshoe and were immediately pulled to the edge of the field.

This time, Wang Hou was rarely a little generous. In the past, he had to pay money and food to borrow animals from the government to plow the fields. This time he was exempted from it and plow the fields for free to the people under his command. This is in exchange for efficiency!

There is no need to turn around, two horses hold a plow and just plow forward. Here, the advantages of horse plowing are revealed compared to ox plowing.

Fast speed!

Thanks to Wang Hou's improvement of metal smelting technology, the Han Dynasty ploughs were all big wood in the past. Only when the blade was clenched at the front was a piece of iron, or pig iron. This thing was blunt and heavy, and only the ox was slow, but the tyrants could move. However, in Wang Hou's hands, the whole plow was almost made of excellent steel, especially the sharp edges. It only took one person to step on it and cut deep into the earth. Two horses briskly pulled acre of land, and it was finished in the blink of an eye, which was almost twice as fast as the ox.

In this way, it was desolate for a few years. Outside the suburbs of Puyang, the wasteland irrigated by the Yellow River water finally changed a lot. The fertile soil was turned up, and deep ditches appeared on the fertile soil, neatly like a large piece of black noodles...

Seeing the farmers under his command constantly scattering seeds upwards and standing on the dilapidated city wall, Wang Hou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's about to catch up with the farming time!
Chapter completed!
