Chapter 306 The Rare Three Brothers Gather
(P.S: Subtitle ‘Lu Yan fainted in the toilet’)
Since we have to govern the defense of the four counties, our power will naturally be greatly improved, but the number of people assigned will be greatly increased.
Guan Yu was most afraid of guarding Dingxiang County when he was isolated and helpless and could not get support from the surrounding troops. If this problem could be solved, then guarding would not be difficult.
"In addition, there are a thousand people on your side, and it is useless to just defend the city. This time, the Xianbei came here, which has proved that they actually did not regard siege as the top priority. So even if you leave all a thousand soldiers in the city, it is meaningless." Liu Tao reminded.
"It would be difficult if the infantry just gave way out of the city to fight them." Guan Yu could only explain that he was not under Liu Tao's command for a while, and he could even know where the enemy was and wherever he went.
"Set up beacon warnings in important places, and set up several checkpoints at the same time. Traps, horse pits, and fences are built one after another if possible." Liu Tao gave advice.
The Great Wall will definitely not be built, but defensive facilities can be built one after another, such as city walls. Whether it is early warning or blocking the enemy's speed of advancing, it has a certain effect.
In the future, you must communicate with Guan Yu, such as setting up a camp, doing a good job of defensive measures, and then garrisoning with a hundred cavalry. When the Xianbei people come, you can consider shooting with a crossbow first, and then riding a horse and escaping quickly...
Coupled with the warning of the beacon tower and the dispatch of the large army, using it well can produce countless tactics.
"I am taught by my fool!" Similar conversations continued until late at night, and ended with Guan Yu's sudden realization and happy learning.
"If you have insufficient food and armor, you can report it at any time. No matter what, I will give you priority." Liu Tao whispered. After all, only those words can be said in private by everyone.
Otherwise, in public, if you openly favor someone, it will probably cause dissatisfaction among other generals. The problem is not big. You just rely on relationships to go through the back door, which will have some impact on the reputation of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others.
People are so complex. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's abilities are obviously not inferior to them, but they have reached this level based on their own abilities. But many people like to spread malicious rumors that they are only able to get married.
"If you need it, you will naturally not be polite to your brother." Guan Yu said with a smile.
"Then..." Liu Tao looked at Zhang Fei. The guy was almost asleep. "After finishing business, I don't talk nonsense in the next time. It's rare that the three brothers gather together. How about drinking some wine?"
"Drinking? I want it!" Zhang Fei suddenly got up, obviously because his body subconsciously responded to the "wine".
"Yi De, you have to quit this addiction to alcohol." Liu Tao complained that drinking when you are happy, drinking when you are unhappy, drinking when you are anxious, drinking when you are happy, drinking when you are happy, drinking when you are happy, drinking as if it has been integrated into Zhang Fei's genes.
"I haven't had a good drink for a few days..." Zhang Fei retorted. He drank a little in private, and the amount was clearly controlled. Thanks to a high-level wine like Jiuxianjiu, if it was the same kind of water wine as before, it would be unsatisfactory if it was not a jar of five or ten pounds!
But to a certain extent, distilled liquor actually consumes more food.
"I won't talk about you tonight. I brought three jars of wine fairy wine over and let it go!" Liu Tao smiled. "Next year, it will be used to make wine. The sorghum stalks can also be chopped into green storage feed, which is good for raising horses or livestock."
Compared to wheat or something, sorghum is still used in white wine. Corn is also possible. Corn these days is probably only suitable for feeding livestock and making wine... if it is available.
It takes time to improve and evolve species. Perhaps in the Mayan civilization, the yield of corn that has been screened and tamed will be relatively high, but it is not much higher than that of wild corn, and its taste is even less than that of wild corn.
Liu Tao still remembers the yellow corn I ate when I was a child. That thing had to be grinded to eat. If you grit your teeth and don’t get it right, you can break your teeth. After more than ten years, when I grew up, there was no such hard yellow corn that I ate at that time, and it was also sweet corn.
"I understand using sorghum to make wine...but this green feed... Forget it, I don't have any interest in listening to government affairs." Zhang Fei was a little curious at first, but then he thought about it, but he didn't want to listen.
"It is a way to crush the forage, then put it in the cellar to seal it, and wait until winter to feed livestock. If you master this technique, even if the water and grass wither in winter due to heavy snow, there will be enough feed to feed cattle, sheep and horses." Liu Tao explained briefly.
"If this is the case, then wouldn't it be fine even if there is no large-scale horse farm?" Guan Yu could quickly understand the benefits of this thing.
I said before that the horse farm was not just to let the horses run, but the key was to have more forage for the horses to eat. If you use green feed to meet the needs of horses and even other livestock, then there is no need to build such a large horse farm.
"It is true. At the same time, we can also use the winemaking industry as a specialty in the cloud. Whether it is traded with the Xianbei or transported to the Central Plains, we can make a fortune." Liu Tao nodded.
"Brother is also brother. If you think so carefully, we can't do anything about it." Guan Yu sighed. It doesn't matter if he and Zhang Fei can do it. It's too troublesome to govern the world. It's the first time for two people to hear about it.
"Drinking, drinking is not a time for official business!" Zhang Fei quickly interrupted, really not wanting to talk about official business.
Just these jerky meat and other things, the three of them started drinking like this. They hadn't been together for a few months, so they naturally had a great time drinking. It was inevitable that they would talk to Guan Yu about the changes in Yunzhong County.
"Third brother, then Lu Bu is very arrogant. He even looks down on others when he wins me in the Ma Zhan. If you have time, you can fight him and give him a warning!" Zhang Fei drank a jar of wine, and he was already a little drunk. He was still drunk and expressed his dissatisfaction.
"Lu Bu is brave and has a first-class strength. Like his fourth brother, this person is very suitable for being a pioneer," Liu Tao explained.
"I had previously arranged for Zhang Liao to come to my command, and I had heard of Lu Bu from him. If I had the chance, I would like to meet him!" Guan Yu said that after all, Zhang Liao admired Lu Bu more during this period, and he had to mention this person in his ears.
"Next time off, come to Yunzhong!" Liu Tao did not refuse after hearing this, "I will arrange for you to have a fight. Anyway, after winter comes, I think Xianbei will not come again until the beginning of spring."
The five thousand Xianbei disappeared quietly. Whether it was Budu root or Kebi Neng, they should not dare to attack on a large scale before figuring out the virtual and real things in the clouds. They could not say that they would come to contact him and win him over as an ally.
Not to mention anything else, trade relations must be established. Liu Tao originally planned to exchange high-alcohol for enough livestock and horses to the greatest extent.
According to the principle of distance and near attack, it is most appropriate to make friends with Ke Bineng and then jointly deal with Bu Dugen. However, before contacting the other party, five thousand people came over, and they didn't know the situation. Ke Bineng himself knew it.
The regime on the grassland is relatively loose, and the main reason is that a Shanyu is in charge of various families. Sometimes some families will spontaneously build grass valleys, and even the leader himself does not know, and even if he knows, he will not say anything. He is used to this.
But if he can only get intimate and attack far, to be honest, he will lose some money. If he can avoid it, try to avoid it.
