"The third general misses the farm food?" Deng Ai guessed carefully.
Zhang Fei shook his head and pursed his lips: "Speaking of farm food, it has to be Dengjiazhuang in Shizai's hometown. Those old tastes are still fresh in my memory. I have eaten them several times in Jingzhou, but they are not as good as the ones in Xinye."
"Well... Mr. once said that you will get tired of eating good food every day. Conditions are much better now than then, and the three generals have also eaten too many good things..." Deng Ai explained.
"I came to you today because I want to ask Shi Zai for help. His name is Jiang Wei, Jiang Boyue, the talent Ziyu introduced to me. I have been busy in Liangzhou for two years and recently invited him back.
How about I stay in Mianyang and learn farming from you?" Zhang Fei's tone refused.
"Ah...this...this"
Deng Ai didn't know how to deal with it. Jiang Wei's doubts were solved. It turned out that Zhang Fei wanted me to learn farming from Deng Ai. This could indeed deceive others.
"Why did your old disease relapse? I remember that two miracle doctors worked together to cure it?" Zhang Fei looked puzzled.
"It was indeed cured back then. I was just a little nervous just now. Sir recommended Bo Yue to you. Do you really want him to learn farming from me? Is the third general wrong?" Deng Ai asked carefully.
Zhang Fei shook his head and replied: "I'm just complaining that you are farming in Hanzhong. Wen Chang (Wei Yan) and Meng Qi (Ma Chao) can be self-sufficient, but my Wudu garrison has to rely on food assistance. Ziyu said Bo Yue is on par with you.
, doesn’t the implication mean that you want me to come and set up farming in Wudu and then seize Liangzhou?”
"Is this how you understand it? That Bo Yue will stay in Mianyang, but the farmland is often exposed to wind and sun..."
"General Deng, please rest assured. Whatever hardship you can endure, Jiang Wei will definitely be able to endure it."
Deng Ai originally wanted to say something ugly before him, but Jiang Wei immediately expressed his determination to him.
"Uh... okay then." Deng Ai nodded.
Zhang Fei laughed and replied: "Don't worry, Shizai. I wrote to Ziyu a few days ago and told him about Bo Yue being sent here. I believe he thinks the same way. You don't often correspond with him."
Really? It’s been almost a year since he returned to Jiaozhou, how is his life there?”
"My husband wrote to me during the Chinese New Year, saying that he would send troops to regain Rinan after the new year. Based on the previously planned days, General Gao should be setting off now." Deng Ai said meaningfully.
"Rinan? Isn't that the southernmost county? Why did General Lan waste his troops going south? Shouldn't he be accumulating strength to attack the Central Plains or Jiangdong?" Jiang Wei expressed his confusion.
Zhang Fei shook his head gently: "Ziyu is now the shepherd of Jiaozhou, and Rinan County was formerly subordinate to Jiaozhou. There is nothing wrong with taking back Rinan County. In fact, we should take Hepu, Jiaozhi, and Jiuzhen counties first. Gao Boping's army should easily win, right?"
"Mr. likes to work slowly and steadily. He is currently vigorously developing the three counties of Nanhai, Cangwu and Yulin. He will probably wait until Shiwei Yan (Shi Xie) dies before taking back the three counties occupied by the Shi family." Deng Ai nodded and analyzed.
"That old guy Shi Xie is so capable. When my eldest brother regains the Central Plains, I will go south to help him pacify the three counties." Zhang Fei shook his fist.
Jiang Wei added with a wry smile: "If the King of Hanzhong wipes out the Central Plains, the three southern counties of Jiaozhou will definitely send a message. I guess General Zhang will have no chance..."
"Uh... It seems that's true. Bo Yue, you are really good." Zhang Fei cast an affirmative look at Jiang Wei, and Ma Chao next to him nodded slightly, sighing that the person recommended by Lan Tian really had a unique vision.
The farm food prepared in the village gave Jiang Wei a taste of delicious food. He suddenly stopped while eating, and his eyes were filled with crystal clear tears.
"Boyue, isn't it? This food is so delicious that it will make you cry?" Zhang Fei joked with a smile.
Deng Ai guessed: "Could it be that Bo Yue misses people when he sees things? Or misses his hometown?"
"General Deng is right. My mother is still stranded in Tianshui. I wonder when she will be able to eat such delicious food..." Jiang Wei looked sad.
Zhang Fei patted Jiang Wei on the back like a loving father and explained in a low voice: "Bo Yue, you are so smart, I suggest you read and learn more in Mianyang. When I conquer Tianshui and capture Jicheng in the future, you can make it with your own hands."
Your mother tastes it."
"General, you want me to learn how to cook?" Jiang Wei frowned.
"What's wrong with learning to cook? Lan Ziyu is not only good at farming, running a country, and using troops, but his cooking skills are unparalleled in the world." Zhang Fei said in a deep voice.
"Uh...Is that so? Then I will definitely study hard." Jiang Wei nodded.
Everyone had lunch in Wangjia Village, and then went to the county at Liu Zhu's warm invitation.
Due to the influx of a large number of villagers, Mianyang County has not only restored the prosperity of the Zhang and Lu period, but is now even more prosperous and prosperous than before, with vigorous vitality everywhere.
From Xinye to Guiyang, from Quanling to Guangzhou, Zhang Fei witnessed the greatness of Lantian and the changes that farming made to the city.
Zhang Fei planned to leave after handing over Jiang Wei, because he was worried that if he stayed in the county for too long, he might attract Wei Yan, the governor of Hanzhong. Before leaving, he entrusted Jiang Wei to Deng Ai. Deng Ai saw that Jiang Wei was also alone.
, and invited him to live with him in his small courtyard.
Deng Ai's status was higher than Liu Zhu's, but he only lived in a small courtyard in Mianyang, and it was mainly used to store manuscripts and sand tables. On weekdays, he basically traveled among the villages to help with the farm fields.
, people’s livelihood and other issues.
After sending Zhang Fei and Ma Chao out of Mianyang, Deng Ai took Jiang Wei back to the small courtyard in the city. Facing south, there was a row of three rooms, with two east and west wing rooms on the left and right sides of the courtyard. It was usually arranged for the guards on duty to live.
Jiang Wei originally thought that Deng Ai would arrange for him to live in a wing room, but Deng Ai took him directly to the main room of the main hall, and then entered the bedroom on the right side of the main hall. The room was equipped with couches, tables and chairs.
"This house is my daily resting place. I will let you change your bedding as soon as possible, and Boyue can stay here with peace of mind." Deng Ai pointed to the bedroom and said.
"General Deng must not do this. I can just stay in the wing." After hearing this, Jiang Wei clasped his fists and refused.
Deng Ai smiled and said: "There is no need for generals to be superior to generals. Since Bo Yue is the one favored by the family master, how do you and I behave as brothers from now on?"
"Uh...Brother Yi Shizai." Jiang Wei solemnly saluted with his fists clasped.
"Since Brother Bo Yue recognizes me as his brother, how can I say no to the gift of brotherhood? Besides, I am alone, so where can I live?" Deng Ai grabbed Jiang Wei's hand, his eyes showing sincerity.
"Then we can't occupy the magpie's nest and let Brother Shizai live in the wing..." Jiang Wei shook his head.
Deng Ai pointed to the room on the other side of the main hall and explained: "Boyo, don't worry, I won't live in the wing room. There is also a bed in the study room opposite. I often sleep there."
"really?"
"If you don't believe me, come with me."
After that, Deng Ai took Jiang Wei to the opposite side. The room was the same size as the master bedroom, but there was a small sand table in the middle, making the space appear slightly smaller.
