NOVEL WEB Chapter 115
The following year, spring came quietly, the earth gradually revived, and everything began to sprout. It was a good time for spring ploughing.
At this time, the seeds of the three high-yield crops, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, after being carefully cultivated by Jia Sixie, could finally be promoted on a large scale throughout Guangyang County, and the yield was amazing, with each acre of land producing about 1,200 kilograms!
This number made people ecstatic, because it was a full 100 to 200 kilograms higher than the first harvest!
In the promotion of the three types of high-yield seeds, Zhang Fu was well aware of its importance.
He decided to hand over the affairs of Ji County to Xi Zhicai and others, and personally led Jia Xu, Guo Jia and other capable generals to the border areas of Guangyang County.
Doing so would not only ensure the safety of the seeds, but also effectively prevent possible risks.
After all, if such high-yield seeds were stolen, the consequences would be disastrous, so Zhang Fu had to go out in person just in case.
In addition, Zhang Fu also arranged a large number of bad people to secretly monitor all possible passages, including official roads, small roads and those hidden roads.
At the same time, he personally led the army and stationed at various important checkpoints and roads to form an indestructible line of defense.
In this way, even if there are criminals who attempt to sneak in and steal seeds, they will be closely monitored and blocked.
Although it is just beginning to be promoted, the specific amount of per mu yield can only be known until the autumn harvest, but Zhang Fu understands that he can never take it lightly.
He knows that this high-yield seed is of great significance to the country and the people. If it falls into the hands of the enemy, it will bring serious losses.
Therefore, he is determined to go all out to protect these precious seeds and ensure that they are spread safely to benefit more people.
......
And Zhang Fu's move was discovered by the spies arranged by Lu Zhi, and then the news was passed back.
"Xuan De, what do you think Zhang Fu wants to do? He actually sits in the border in person. Is he going to attack us?" Lu Zhi asked with a frown.
He really couldn't figure out why Zhang Fu did this. Was there any conspiracy? Or was it just a momentary impulse? After all, everything Zhang Fu did before surprised and puzzled Lu Zhi.
Liu Bei thought for a moment and replied: "Teacher, I think Zhang Fu may intend to lead his army to attack us. Judging from his past behavior, every action seems to indicate that a battle is about to break out."
"In addition, Zhang Fu is only eighteen years old now. He is young and energetic and prone to impulsive behavior. This is understandable. Therefore, we can't sit and wait for death. We must adopt an active offensive strategy, otherwise we may repeat the mistakes of General Huangfu Song."
Lu Zhi nodded and agreed with Liu Bei's point of view.
He knew that if they just passively defended, they would probably get into trouble.
However, Lu Zhi didn't have much idea about how to take the initiative. After all, the strength of the army led by Zhang Fu should not be underestimated, and they needed to consider it carefully.
Liu Bei continued, "Teacher, we can send a vanguard to test Zhang Fu's strength and understand his troop distribution and tactical arrangements."
At the same time, we must strengthen our defenses and be prepared to deal with enemy attacks. In addition, we can use the terrain advantage to set up some traps and fortifications to increase the difficulty of the opponent's attack. "
Liu Bei felt that he knew Zhang Fu too well. He had fought so many times and took the initiative every time. So this time, he would definitely take the initiative to attack after leaving Ji County. It was just a matter of time.
Lu Zhi nodded. Liu Bei and Zhang Fu had fought several times and should know Zhang Fu well. So Lu Zhi now felt that Zhang Fu was ready to take the initiative to attack.
"Alas, the Jizhou Army has just started training and its combat effectiveness has not yet been formed. If we take the initiative to attack, it may not work! "Lu Zhi said with a frown, revealing a hint of worry and helplessness in his tone.
He knew that these soldiers needed time to grow and hone before they could become a truly combat-capable army.
However, the current situation was not optimistic, which made him feel very difficult.
After hearing what Lu Zhi said, Liu Bei's heart sank. He had hoped to take the initiative to disrupt Zhang Fu's plan, but now it seemed unlikely.
He looked at Lu Zhi anxiously, trying to persuade him to change his mind: "Teacher, we can't just sit and wait for death! If we don't take action, I'm afraid the consequences will be disastrous. "
Lu Zhi looked at Liu Bei deeply. He understood Liu Bei's mood, but he also understood the current strength of his army. He shook his head and expressed helplessness: "Xuan De, I understand your concerns, but the current situation does not allow us to send troops easily.
WeThe soldiers still need more training and preparation to deal with the enemy's attack. "
Liu Bei was anxious, but in the face of Lu Zhi's firm attitude, he could only sigh helplessly and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
He knew that Lu Zhi was an experienced general with profound insights into military strategy.
Despite his anxiety, he chose to believe Lu Zhi's judgment.
Just as everyone fell into silence, a counselor suddenly stood up and began to express his opinion: "In fact, Feng thinks that Zhang Fu may not want to take the initiative to attack. He must know the current situation. Perhaps it is because there is no one stationed in Guangyang County, so Zhang Fu will take action personally!"
This remark immediately attracted the attention and discussion of others, and they nodded in agreement.
Liu Bei listened to the counselor's analysis, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.
He originally thought that his point of view was correct, but he did not expect to be exposed by this counselor, but he was not angry or dissatisfied because of this. Instead, he smiled and cast an admiring look at the counselor.
"Yuan Hao, are you sure? "Lu Zhi looked at Tian Feng solemnly, with a questioning look in his eyes.
As a famous scholar in Jizhou, Tian Feng's talents and wisdom should not be underestimated. In comparison, Lu Zhi knew his student better, so he was more inclined to trust Tian Feng's judgment in terms of strategy.
At this time, Ju Su on the side couldn't help but say: "Sir, I agree with Brother Yuan Hao's point of view!" His voice was firm and powerful, and he expressed his position without hesitation.
Tian Feng smiled and explained calmly: "The previous actions of that talisman seemed impulsive, but in fact, each time there was a clear reason. "
"The first time, he was anxious because Huangfu Zhonglang General besieged his second uncle"
"The second time, it was because Zhu Shi rushed all out, causing the army to be exhausted and morale was low. These two situations are special and can be said to be excusable. "
