The Liaodong Iron Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 73 Winter Plowing II

In the Xiangping prefect's mansion, Huo Yu, Xun You, Xi Zhicai, and Guo Jia chatted happily.This time, Huo Yu made the barbecue by himself in order to comfort the three of them. Dian Wei and Liu Jiji watched from the sidelines without stopping to swallow their saliva. After the barbecue was cooked through, they distributed it to everyone.

"My lord, this barbecue skill is really amazing." Guo Jia said with his mouth full of meat.

"Feng Xiao, you are insulting gentlemen like this!" Xun You scolded Guo Jia, looking at Guo Jia's appearance.

"It's more than insulting to the gentleman, these days, Feng Xiao hid in the military camp to take a break, today's lord is not the one who comforts you," Xi Zhicai pretended to be angry.

"My lord often says that those who are capable work hard, Gongda and Zhicai are capable, and Jia is just a foodie!"

Cough, cough, coughing, Huo Yu coughed when he heard the words, pointed at Guo Jia and cursed with a smile: "You foodie, you have such a good appetite, I will bake it for you every day."

Hahahaha, everyone was laughing, this banquet was full of laughter under the stimulation of Guo Jia's flavoring agent.After the banquet, the four of them came to the study room. At this moment, they no longer had the relaxed expression on their faces.

"Before discussing the matter, Yu first said something important. At noon tomorrow, everyone will go to the fields outside the city with Yu. The Quyuanli invented by Deheng will be tried for the first time. Tomorrow will be the moment to witness a miracle."

After the "promise" three people handed over their hands and agreed, the discussion began.Most of the discussion is still about civil affairs. At present, everything in Liaodong has been focused on recuperation, supplemented by military affairs.

A few days ago, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping exchanged wine for a lot of livestock, most of which were war horses. Fortunately, the Mi family did not bring enough daughters from the caravan.After resting for three days, the two embarked on the road to the north again. This time Huo Yu asked them to exchange all of them for cattle, sheep and slave horses. Liaodong lacked manpower, so they could only use animal power. It will be worse.

At noon of the next day, the convoy left Xiangping City in mighty force, and arrived at the field that Huo Yu had been to that day.When Huo Yu came today, he didn't see any cattle. Due to the limited number of livestock, only a few families could share one head.

"Old man, are you here to disturb me again today?" Huo Yu from a distance greeted enthusiastically, fearing that such a large group of people behind him would frighten the poor people.

"What is the so-called son today? Why such a battle?"

"Old man, I came here today to solve your problems. You look at the straight plow, and it will take a lot of trouble to use it."

After finishing speaking, Huo Yu winked at Ma Jun, Ma Jun understood, and immediately led the crowd to stitch Quyuanli together on the spot.After a while, Quyuanli took shape, and the old man was amazed.There are so many people here, and such a big movement has already attracted the attention of many people in the nearby fields.

When everyone saw that Qu Yuanli was assembled, they all gathered together.Dian Wei found a slave horse from the convoy and brought it over. After Ma Jun put on the outfit he had prepared, he waited for Huo Yu's order.

No matter how knowledgeable they were, they also recognized the difference between this kind of plow and the straight plow used.After Huo Yu gave an order, Ma Jun personally supported Qu Yuanli and drove the slave horse to start plowing the field. He saw only one of them effortlessly, and his speed was much faster than that of Zhili.

After Ma Jun finished plowing a circle, everyone scrambled to check.Now the whole field exploded, and Huo Yu smiled knowingly in the distance.

"My lord, this thing, this thing..." Xun You was so excited that he couldn't speak at the moment.

Huo Yu patted Xun You's shoulder lightly, turned his head and said to Zhicai who was still in a daze, "Zhicai, just order the artisan workshop to make Quyuanli according to the blueprint."

"Nuo" Xi Zhicai bowed to Huo Yu with trembling hands.

Seeing that there were more and more people here, Huo Yu found a high ground, then motioned to Dian Wei, and frightened everyone with his rough voice.

"I am Huo Yu, the prefect of Liaodong. What I saw today is a new product from the Artisan Workshop, called Quyuanli. From now on, Quyuanli will be widely used for free, and the prefect's office will issue an official document later."

After finishing talking, Huo Yu quickly walked towards the old man and said, "Old man, this plow and this horse will be given to you."

Seeing that the prefect in front of him turned out to be the young man who was talking to him the day before yesterday, the old man wanted to kneel down and salute.Huo Yu hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man and said: "A family of four sons, the third son died for the court, this is the reward he deserves."

Watching Huo Yu and the others go away, the old man said with tears in his eyes: "My youngest, after you get married and have children, you will become a pawn under the prefect."

With this incident, Huo Yu's reputation in the hearts of the people in Liaodong has greatly increased, and Qu Yuanli was even nicknamed "Prefect Li" by the people.Shortly thereafter, Ma Jun perfected the bellows and made a real thing. Huo Yu was overjoyed and rewarded Ma Jun with a hundred gold.

In mid-November, Mo Lao and others returned, and Huo Yu led the crowd to greet them at the city gate after being notified.When we went there, there were fifty cavalrymen and four carriages, and when we came back, there were fifty cavalrymen in four carriages, no more than one, but everyone looked tired.

"How can this old man, Mr. Lao Taishou welcome you personally. This old man has fulfilled his mission to find the mine, and brought back a lot of samples, and the reserves and grade are top-notch,"

"It's hard work, and the banquet is in preparation. We'll discuss after we're full."

Then Huo Yu said to the fifty cavalrymen: "Brothers have worked hard. After returning to the camp, let's rest for a few days and go to General Huang to receive the reward."

"No, thank you, my lord."

Two flowers bloomed, each representing a branch. Gao Shun led more than [-] soldiers to Xuzhou after receiving the letter from the Mi family that day.Along the way, the military discipline was strict, the military appearance was neat, and under the banner of Huo Yu, the prefect of Liaodong, there was no trouble.After arriving in Xuzhou, they met Mi Fang and a huge convoy, and then slowly came towards the boundary of Youzhou.

Just after entering Ji County that day, Liao Hua met Gao Shun.It turned out that Liao Hua was ordered by Huo Yu to come to Jixian County first to ask for food and grass. Liu Yu had a lot of trust in Huo Yu, and he couldn't gather too much food and grass in a short period of time. In desperation, Liao Hua settled down in Ji County.

Recently, the grain and grass have been assembled, and I am worrying about how to transport them back to Liaodong. I never thought that I would meet Gao Shun leading the army, so there will be support along the way.The army rested in Ji County for three days, and then marched to Liaodong with food and grass.

"Second brother, why is Liaodong so far away? Yu'er can't hold it anymore." Zhao Yu, who was riding on a horse, said irritably.

"That's right, Brother Yun, Lan never thought that Liaodong is so far away, and the west of Liaodong is so barren, I really can't imagine what Liaodong will be like." Xia Houlan added.

"Little sister, don't you want to eat the food at the prefect's mansion? Senior brother should have a lot of delicious food." After speaking, he turned to look at Xia Houlan and said, "Brother Lan, Yun has never been to Liaodong, so I don't know how much more there is." If you encounter a caravan, go with it, this place is already in the west of Liaoning, we need to be vigilant at all times."

At this moment, Zhao Yun was also restless because of what he had seen and heard along the way.What the senior brother said was right, to deal with the barbarians, one must first subdue them before domesticating them.I really hope to arrive in Liaodong sooner and follow my brothers to fight the enemy together.
