After the heavy snow in Xizhou melts, it will be time to prepare for spring plowing. In the past, Ningzhou cavalry helped in the twelve states, but now they can only rely on the people in the city and can only mobilize the people to farm for free. Now the money has to be spent on the tip of the knife, Feng Yu also
We can't compensate them, we can only give them pie. Appropriate subsidies can only be given after the war subsides.
Ningzhou is in chaos, and farming cannot stop.
Feng Yu, Nangong Heng, Zhang Hu, Zhang Meng and several other brothers formulated a spring plowing plan. This year's spring plowing will focus on grains, followed by cash crops. In addition to cultivating their own fields, the people will also cultivate the fields of the state capital. These were originally
Ningzhou cavalry came to farm, and now it is all divided among the people. The people live and work in peace and contentment in Xizhou. They also know that Ningzhou is in war, and everyone is united. Except for a little friction, the progress is smooth.
Fei Ying came to Ningzhou to take away the latest batch of armors and weapons. By the way, he told Feng Yu about the new tanks that appeared on the battlefield in Ningzhou. Xie Xun's vanguard sacrificed 600 people and finally captured a tank.
, Xie Jue and Fang Chuning are studying the method to crack it. Ningzhou has the best craftsmen, Xuan Tie and Cannon Fire, who have studied it thoroughly and can crack it, and can also use the other's method to retaliate.
Due to the emergence of new types of tanks, armors and weapons were at great loss. Xizhou had to step up forging. Feng Yu felt heavy in her heart. Xizhou's craftsmen had been working day and night to make up for the gap as soon as possible.
"Are there enough medicinal ingredients?"
Fei Ying shook his head, "Second Young Master has transferred medicinal materials and doctors from Yancheng, Pingzhou and other places. The wounded have been sent to Yuncheng in batches for treatment, but there is still insufficient medicinal materials in the city."
"I have sent people to Jiangnan to purchase. The people from Su's Trading Company will use the water transportation from Lanzhou to Yancheng. They will take my customs clearance documents and send them directly to Ningzhou when they arrive in Yancheng. I will do my best to prepare and let the prince
Don’t worry about the rear.”
"Xizhou is a granary and arsenal, so girls should be careful." Feiying said and breathed a sigh of relief again, "Fortunately, the Northern Barbarians did not break through Ningzhou. They cannot cross Ningzhou and will not raid Xizhou."
This is the greatest convenience of Xizhou as the main city on the grain and horse road. It is relatively safe. The reserves of Huangzhou, Xizhou and Jinzhou are all concentrated in Xizhou, and are now transported to Ningzhou in batches.
"I have sentries along the way. If there is any trouble, Xizhou will receive the news."
The escort team brought by Feiying rested for one night in Xizhou and set off. Nuanyang was extremely worried and kept telling him to be careful. The two of them had grown up together. They were no longer inseparable in the past few years, but it had no influence at all.
emotion.
"Don't worry, stay with the girl and protect her."
"I know!"
Just two days after Ruyi's birthday, large-scale preparations for spring plowing were underway. After three consecutive days of heavy rain in Xizhou, it finally became sunny. Feng Yu and Nangong Heng led the people to inspect the farmland outside the city. During the farming season, the army and the people were united, and Feng Yu also
They will go to the fields to sow seeds with the people. This year there is not enough manpower, so almost all the labor force in Xizhou City will be mobilized.
The wind is sunny and the spring breeze is gentle.
When several old farmers were sharing their experiences with Feng Yu, a dozen soldiers suddenly lay down on the ground while sowing, with serious expressions on their faces. Feng Yu's heart skipped a beat, "What's wrong?"
"Girl, a large group of cavalry is coming to Xizhou." The soldiers looked solemn. Feiying's escort team had just left for three days. Even if Ningzhou's combat readiness was too heavy, it would be impossible to send another team over. It would have to wait half a month.
Feiying's team hasn't returned to Ningzhou yet. If it's not someone from Ningzhou, who is it?
"Could it be someone from Jiaozhou? We wrote to Xue Yu, hoping they would send someone to help with the farming." Maybe it was someone from Jiaozhou. This piece of farmland is on a higher ground, so we could see it clearly, and we could see it soon.
I saw a group of black cavalry galloping towards the gate of Xizhou City. Black horses, black armor, no flags, marching very fast.
Feng Yu stood upright with hair all over her body, "Quickly, close the city gate and meet the enemy!"
Whether it is Ningzhou, Xizhou or Jinzhou, the flag must go first. This pair of men and horses are agile and fast. They do not slow down when approaching the gate of Xizhou. They are clearly enemies.
Nuanyang quickly sent out a signal. Brothers Zhang Meng and Zhang Hu and Chen Jiangdong, who were guarding the city, also saw the enemy. The first thing they thought was that the girl was still outside the city, and then they saw Nuanyang sending out a signal.
Chen Jiangdong reacted the fastest, "Close the city gate and shoot the arrow!"
"The girl is still outside the city!"
"Close the city gate when you see the signal. The prince must obey orders even outside the city!" Chen Jiangdong couldn't care less. Feng Yu, Nangong Heng, and Nuanyang were all on the mountain. Fortunately, today we were going to a high mountainous area, which was connected to the mine.
There is a secret passage into the city.
It is the farming season in Xizhou, and it is a sunny day again today. Many people go out to farm outside the city, and there is no way to return to the city in time. Chen Jiangdong immediately sent a signal and blew the horn warning. While closing the city gate, the archers quickly deployed their formation.
, shoot arrows at the enemies under the city wall.
Nuanyang said in a deep voice, "Girl, take the secret road back to the city, quickly!"
They probably didn't know that the girl was outside the city and would not attack the mountain.
