Not only that, the forestry and fruit industry has also developed tremendously in recent years.

Du Zi Tengzhuo cultivated thousands of agricultural technicians and thoroughly promoted the grafting technology.

The earliest developed counties in Xuzhou planted hundreds of millions of dried fruits such as pear trees, apricots, peaches, plums, persimmons, jujubes, walnuts, soap beans, and tens of millions of them.

The persimmons and pear trees planted next to the official road, have begun to bear fruit one after another, and the benefits are still very good. Even in a small-scale famine, people can pick wild fruits to survive and avoid starving to death.

Anyone who wants to eat picks the fruits on their own.

In the rivers, barren slopes, barren mountains and other places affiliated with the government, people mobilized to plant 30 to 40 million poplar, willow, elm, and pine trees. In the early stage, Lu Bu cut down a large amount of wood in order to exchange things, and now it is time to pay back the debt.

The people's own land was released, and trees were cut down on the hillsides in front of the house and behind the house.

The problem of the original management is changed and the difficulty of cutting down trees in the people has greatly increased the enthusiasm of the people to plant trees.

Various carpenter shops in rural areas emerged like mushrooms after a rain, making various furniture, carriages, farm tools, boats, etc.

Various types of brick and tile kilns and lime kilns have been established one after another, and more and more new houses are built in rural areas, which is a bit revival.

On the morning of midsummer tail, the weather is slightly better and not that hot.

Lu Bu, Chen Gong, Zhuge Liang, Wang Heng and others came to inspect the military farms.

Now the soldiers of the Xuzhou Army headquarters have a military farm of up to 150,000 mu, ranging from the city to 70 or 80 miles away.

Wang Heng pointed to the corn field and was very happy: "The high heat and heavy rain some time ago made the corn grow very fast. Now the rice ears have been formed. I dare not assert that the harvest will be finalized, but at least 80% of the time."

Pumpkin seedlings that can be seen everywhere on the ground are growing vigorously.

Several bees crawled in the heart of the burnt pumpkin flower, and they dyed their bodies with yellow pollen.

Some tender melons have grown to weigh five or six pounds, but more pumpkins are still very small.

Chen Gong pointed to the huge soybeans over there: "Now the army has started eating boiled edamame. A bumper harvest of soybeans is a foregone conclusion, and corn yield is even more likely to be a problem. Even if it is not counted in the fields, the military rations in the warehouse are enough to last for a year and a half, and this has not counted tens of thousands of pigs and sheep."

"Food is always a fundamental problem, but you can't be careless. The king is so sloppy, how do you arrange the autumn grain after harvesting?"

"Twenty days later, soybeans are harvested, and then corn is harvested. After harvesting, the land is plowed and planted carrots. More than 100,000 acres of carrots are used. Except for making vegetables and pickles, the rest are fed to horses, cattle, sheep, pigs and other livestock. The yield is absolutely huge. Only a small amount of wheat is left. Others still grow potatoes after spring, and the yield of potatoes is high."

Zhuge Liang had seen Liu Biaojun's military farming, but the effect was half worse.

The success of Xuzhou army's military farming was not accidental, but the result of a large amount of material investment.

The promotion of new agricultural tools such as water wheelbarrows, rack trucks, unicycles, and crooked plows has improved labor efficiency.

The cultivated land of large animals such as horses, cattles, mules saves a lot of manpower.

A large amount of straw and forage is converted into fertilizer through the conversion of horses, cattle, sheep, pigs and other livestock, and then returns to the farmland, forming a virtuous cycle.

Another last point is that ordinary soldiers in the Xuzhou Army are treated with high salaries and have good living standards. The soldiers have strong autonomy and initiative, and cannot be compared with the whip to supervise their work.

Four people sat on the ground under the big tree by the river, and Lu Bu was holding a dog's tail grass in his mouth.

Chen Gong took a small branch: "Don't wait for late autumn, the weather turns cold, and the weather will turn cold in the early August. We cannot wait for the beating. If Cao's soldiers come over and come to our territory, a large number of people will definitely suffer. The revival that has finally emerged will be defeated again."

"What the public station says makes sense, the best defense is attacking. Where do you think we should play?"

Chen Gong took a small branch and drew on the ground: "Chenliu and Puyang, these two places are densely populated and numerous, which is the foundation for Cao Cao's founding. Taking these two places is equivalent to cutting off one of Cao Cao's arms and being able to take off Cao Cao's gas."

Lu Bu agreed deeply: "Cao thief is always a big trouble."

Zhuge Liang was holding back his laughter. Lu Bu and Cao Cao were unable to resolve the knot and hatred.

When Cao Cao pressed Lu Bu to Xuzhou, the army of tens of thousands was beaten to eight thousand. Lu Bu almost lost his life.

Lu Bu looked at Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming, don't just look at it, let me tell you your opinion."

"If you want me, let's go in a two-pronged way. The troops from Jizhou went south to attack Puyang from the north. The troops from Xuzhou came out to Xiaopei to attack Chenliu. With the mobility of our Xuzhou Iron Cavalry and Iron Horse Army, we took Chenliu. Xudu's reinforcements may still be halfway. However, the attack time must be advanced, and troops will be sent in late July. Although there is still Qiu Laohu at that time, it can be overcome."

This is also a great risk, which will delay the autumn harvest. In the military farming process, all other people must participate. Once the expedition is on the battlefield, the harvest of grain will become a problem. At this time, farmers are also harvesting their own food, and it is not convenient to recruit people.

Lu Bu looked at Wang Heng next to him, and Wang Heng thought for a moment: "As long as half of the soldiers is enough, we harvest food faster than ordinary farmers, and all mule carts will be transported. There may be less carrots, and the others will not be affected."

Xuzhou City now has 10,000 cavalry, 15,000 infantry in Danyang, 8,000 infantry in Chengong. Xiaopei Song Xian's unit is 5,000, Cao Xing, and Zhoucang's unit are 3,000 cavalry.

Among them, 10,000 Xuzhou Iron Cavalry and 3,000 Cao Xing's light cavalry did not have the task of military farming. This calculation would not be possible to adjust many soldiers.

Chen Liu is now stationed by the general Cao Ren, with 8,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry. With twice his strength, he should be able to win within three days.

"It's OK, then do it like that. Fei Ge sent a letter to Chenglian in Nanyang and asked him to step up his training and attack Runan."

Nanyang is a feint attack. In fact, it is easy to see with the talent of Cao Cao's counselors. However, Nanyang has an iron horse army that travels 150 or 60 miles a day. This marching speed is too scary. It catches the speed of the top cavalry marching. It will be in front of you in the blink of an eye. It is difficult to determine the reality of the virtual and the reality of the virtual is too difficult to deal with. You say that he is empty, and if you don't prepare, you will arrive in the blink of an eye.

Chen Gong got up from the ground: "Lord, I have to take me with me no matter what I say this time. If I don't fight, I will be ruined."

"Okay, then leave Kong Ming to stay in his hometown. Ten thousand Xuzhou Iron Cavalry, three thousand light cavalry, ten thousand Danyang infantry, five thousand city defense forces. In addition, the Zhentian Camp with three thousand people."

Zhentianying, these people have heard this name for the first time.

"Zhentian Camp? Which camp is it? Why don't I know?" Chen Gong asked.

Lu Bu pretended to be mysterious, "This is a secret, I will know it when I sent troops."

Even Chen Gong and Zhuge Liang didn't know, which shows that the Zhentian Camp is extraordinary.
