However, the natives and barbarians in the south are grateful for the scorching sun.
Rice loves heat by nature, so it’s time to plow the fields and sow the food for the second season this year.
The prime minister's garrison in Dianchi County happened to be on the bank of Dianchi Daze. When he came out of the Chinese army's tent, he could see countless natives and barbarians hunkering down in the fields without even looking at them.
The gentle breeze carried the gentle scent of Daze, causing the prime minister, who had been burying his head in the case for a long time, to be shocked and look at it.
But seeing the vast expanse of swamp, spreading between the sky and the earth, the ripples spread out with the wind, rippling people's mood.
The fishing boats were weaving back and forth, and occasionally the fishermen's deep and melodious chants could be heard faintly.
It is exactly like "the boat is drifting on the blue waves, and the people are swimming in the painting".
The bird that cannot call the famous one is not willing to be lonely.
The wings fluttered into the air and soared in the wind. A few gray stars drew an elegant trajectory over the water, chasing the white clouds outside the skyline.
This feeling and scene are poetic, picturesque, quiet and distant.
When Prime Minister Zhuge Liang stopped, his eyebrows were stretched, his beard was stroked repeatedly, and his eyes were deep and penetrating.
In the past, Ban Biao wrote to Emperor Guangwu, "The Han Dynasty upholds prestige and leads all nations, and all the countries illuminated by the sun and moon are ministers and concubines." It inspired people's aspirations and is still in my ears! In the past, Emperor Xuan's inscription on the "Ding Hu Monument" said, "Everyone is a concubine."
Wherever the sun and moon shine, they are all Han people, and wherever the rivers are, they are all Han subjects." How dare you forget this!
I have been a great Han Dynasty for four hundred years and have great mountains and rivers. How can I be overthrown by rebellious ministers and traitors?
Although the current situation is difficult and recovery is difficult, so what!
Now that Nanzhong has been settled, it is the beginning of the Northern Expedition!
To restore the Central Plains, drive out the traitors, and restore the Han Dynasty, we must serve wholeheartedly and do our best!
call...........
Take a long breath and release all the excitement in your mind.
Immediately, the Prime Minister put his hands in front of him again, quietly pressing his abdomen, and his eyes were half closed.
The tedious affairs and too many sleepless nights have turned the previous stomach upset and loss of appetite into occasional dull pain.
I also sought an order from the imperial doctor and was warned to rest.
However, with the great responsibility of being entrusted by the late emperor, how can An An not work day and night to avenge his evil deeds?
Moreover, the late emperor said that "people do not die when they are fifty", and their life span is only a few decades!
Today, my hair has grown gray, my body is old, and I am already over forty years old. Why should I cherish my life and waste my years instead of repaying the kindness I have experienced?!
But please seize the day and night!
In my lifetime, I will lead my army in the Northern Expedition. If I can recapture Guanzhong and allow the Han Dynasty to return to the old capital, I will be able to rest in peace even if I die!
To work hard for the remaining heroes, drive out the traitors, and let the Han Dynasty repeat the story of "everything the sun and the moon shine on are Han soil, and wherever the rivers reach are Han subjects" is the work of later generations.
I hope I won't wait too long under the Nine Netherworld to receive the memorial service for the great man who has risen.
Thinking of this, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang could not help but tilt his head slightly, and glanced at Huo Yi and Zhao Guang who were accompanying him behind him.
These two people, both of whom have served with great service and loyalty, are also one of the candidates who will one day carry the great man on their shoulders and restore the flag of the Central Plains.
When I die, they will also be in their prime.
If I can take back the land in Guanzhong, they should also be able to take back all the places in the Central Plains.
There is also Zijin, whose talent is even better...
After going around in a circle, the Prime Minister's thoughts returned to their original point.
However, this time he did not frown again and was hesitant about how Zheng Pu would use it.
With a smile on his lips, he said softly to Huo Yi and Zhao Guang, "You two, go back and control the troops to pack your bags first, and go to the military supplies department to get two months of food and fodder, and wait for the military order to be issued."
Well, Huo Yi and Zhao Guang, both of them, inherited from their fathers and have already finished raising their own troops.
The Huo family is a large family in Zhijiang, Nanjun.
In the past, when the world was in turmoil, the Jingzhou sect's thieves caused chaos.
Huo Jun's brother Huo Du, together with his family's retinue and hundreds of people from the countryside, led his troops back to Jingzhou to pastor Liu Biao.
Later, Huo Dutian did not miss the New Year, so Liu Biao ordered Huo Jun to take pictures of them all.
Biao died of illness and his son was useless. Huo Jun led his troops to return to the late emperor Liu Bei and was named Zhonglang General. His leadership remained the same as before.
Following the conquest into Shu, Huo Jun made outstanding contributions and was highly regarded by the late emperor. He specially set up Zitong County and worshiped him as the prefect.
Not long after, he died of illness, and Zi Huo Yi was still young.
The late Emperor Liu Bei had always been benevolent and righteous, and he never tried to seize generals and lead his troops.
Therefore, when Huo Yi was raised in the house, the tribes of the Huo family were temporarily sent to the prison to stay as guards, so that Huo Yi could be taught again when he was old and took up his duties in the future.
Today, Huo Yi has been awarded the military post and went out to recruit troops. The emperor Liu Chan also gave back all the troops left by his late father.
Therefore, Huo Yi only recruited more than a hundred people in Zhuti County and had 500 songs.
Zhao Guang's situation is generally similar.
His father, Zhao Yun, the general who conquered the south, followed the late emperor to the north and south, and did not avoid hardships. He was relied on as a butcher and held considerable military power.
Today, out of love, I also transfer some of my troops and veterans who have fought for the rest of their lives to the youngest son Zhao Guang, in the hope that he can serve as a long-term leader as soon as possible.
Therefore, Zhao Guang's tribe only has three hundred people.
However, he was so elite that he dared to claim to be undefeated even against Huo Yi who had 500 troops.
What's rare is that both of these two sons share the same fatherly style.
Huo Yi is generous by nature and is fair in deciding matters; while Zhao Guang is virtuous and never disputes, often hiding his own beauty while highlighting the beauty of others, both of which can win over others. In time, he will definitely become a pillar of the imperial court!
"No! Yi excuses himself."
"No! Advertising will be withdrawn."
Huo and Zhao didn't dare to ask any more questions. After hearing this, they quickly bowed their hands and bowed. They took a few steps back slowly before turning around and leaving.
The Beipan River, which runs from east to south in Yulin County, Jiaozhou, meanders through the west of the city and is called "Dunshui" by people at this time.
Green seedlings are already dotted in the acres of fields opened along the river, as well as in the newly opened terraces on the low hills of the mountains.
The natives and barbarians, who had been busy for more than a month, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Zheng Pu also had a few days of leisure.
After the anti-banners in Gouding County were removed, Chen Shi led his army to protect the migrating Hu tribes and returned to Chengdu, while Ma Zhong also delegated all affairs to his subordinates who were under his control.
Zheng Pu and Liu Yin, who had a private army, were sent to Yelang County by Ma Zhong.
In the name of supervising farming and opening up terraced fields, we monitored and curbed the small private actions of the Gu Yelang royal family with the surname Zhu.
For example, when people are in turmoil, they plunder acres of land, recruit tenants and hide the population, etc.
But Ma Zhong was a little worried.
The surname Yelangzhu was greatly afraid of the destruction of the four major surnames.
Not only did he keep to himself and did not dare to make profits from it, he actually donated a lot of food and property to the government in the name of helping the army, claiming his family's loyalty to the imperial court.
But I beg Zheng Pu and others not to find a reason to turn the surname Yelangzhu into the memory of future generations.
Zheng Pu was naturally disrespectful to this.
Use these grain and fodder resources to recruit local natives and barbarians to open up terraced fields, making everyone happy.
Now that I have some free time, I took my retinue, Fu Qian, Zheng Chou and others with me and went to the riverside for a picnic, which was supposed to relieve the anger of the months of conquest.
Especially, he has been in a bad mood recently.
After coming to Nanjing Middle School for nearly a year, he finally received a letter from home.
It wasn't that the Nanzhong trade route was opened, or that Shifang Sangyuan's family found a military courier they could entrust.
It was Liu Yin who became a monk and funded his own tribe. In order to keep the morale of the tribe high, he sent a letter a few days ago asking his family to donate some funds and give them to private soldiers to win people's hearts.
The Liu family is a wealthy family in Sichuan, and they have many retinues and swordsmen, so it is not difficult to escort the caravan and transport money to chop the meat.
Therefore, thinking that Zheng Pu and Liu Yin were compatible in temperament, they notified Zheng Yi, the retinue who stayed in the small house in Chengdu, and asked him to return to Shifang Mulberry Garden and ask if there was any letter to forward.
Over there at Shifang Mulberry Garden, they were overjoyed.
He actually sent Zheng Yi to accompany the Liu family's caravan and come to Nanzhong to look for Zheng Pu.
In addition to letters from relatives and friends, what he brought with him also included clothes and shoes newly made for Zheng Pu. His biological mother, Lu, was afraid that Zheng Pu would not have enough food in the army, so she even asked Zheng Yi to bring some pieces of deer and pigs.
Bacon.
"The Book of Changes: The Biting Chapter" records: "When it shines in the sun and shines in the fire, it is called bacon."
Families in Sichuan who have some wealth will prepare some bacon.
But what Zheng Yi brought was quite large, almost enough for Shifang Mulberry Garden to need for a year.
Alas, the mother is worried when her son travels thousands of miles.
It also made Zheng Pu start to look forward to returning to Shu.
The rebellion in Nanzhong has been eliminated and farming has been completed. I should be transferred back to Chengdu, right?
I had this thought in my mind, but no orders came yet. Even though Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, who was stationed in Dianchi County, had led his army back to Chengdu a few days ago.
