    Heroes have similar minds and have similar views. Just when Zhou Yu was working hard to plan a plan to seize grain, Xiao Yi also cast his greedy eyes on the thousands of rice fields on both sides of the Han River - there is grain in hand, so don't panic!

    The difference is that when facing big events, Zhou Yu likes to think quietly alone; while when Xiao Yi is planning, he needs someone to accompany him, preferably a beautiful woman!

    "Lingnan lychees are sweet, tender and juicy. My husband, please eat one!"

    "Ah - no matter how delicious lychees are, they are not as delicious as Xiao Guaguai. I want to eat lychees at night!"

    "My husband is really badthe worse he is, the more you like him!"

    Xuanjia Camp - In the Chinese military tent, Xiao Yi was lying on the soft couch with his head resting on Sun Shangxiang's jade legs. He was sniffing the beauty's body fragrance and tasting fresh fruits. He also joked a few words from time to time. He was as happy as a couple of gods.  !

    There is a rice ear in Xiao Yi's hand. It is yellow with green color and the grains are extremely plump. It was just picked from the field outside the camp. He keeps looking at it, obviously thinking about important things!

    Jingzhou has fertile land and dense rivers, which is very suitable for growing rice. The yield per mu is about three shi (1 shi = 120 kilograms in the Han Dynasty). In addition, the temperature is relatively high, so it can be harvested twice a year or even three times a year!

    During the period when Liu Biao was in charge of Jingzhou, although there were no military or diplomatic achievements, the domestic affairs developed well. He built water conservancy projects and diligently encouraged farmers to grow mulberry trees. Coupled with the good weather, crops were harvested year after year. Especially in the treasuries of Xiangyang and Jiangling, rice piled up like mountains!

    But during the Eastern Expedition of Cao's army, Jiangling City was the base camp. After more than half a year of fighting, the treasury was completely depleted. When the main force of Cao's army retreated north, the grain stored in Xiangyang City was also loaded and transported away!

    On the one hand: Cao Cao is worried that Jingzhou cannot be defended. If he keeps the food and grass, he will only benefit Sun and Liu's coalition forces in vain. He might as well take it away himself!

    On the other hand: due to years of war, the people's livelihood in the Central Plains has been in decline. Cao Cao needs a lot of food to appease the hungry people, otherwise the hungry people will rebel!

    The result is: Xiao Yi faced a big problem of food shortage as soon as he arrived in Xiangyang City. He had more than 100,000 soldiers under his command, 300,000 people in the city, and people from Nanjun, Nanyang, Zhangling, and Xiangyang counties This was a bottomless pit.  ah!

    If these mouths cannot be fed, a civil uprising will inevitably occur. No matter how powerful Xiao Yi is, he will have no choice but to go back to the Central Plains. The previous abandonment of the three southern counties was of course a way to contain Liu Bei's side, but it was also a burden for himself.  , otherwise there would be more people eating!

    Fortunately, the autumn wind is blowing and the rice flowers are fragrant. The countless rice fields on both sides of the Han River will be mature in more than ten days. If you can get the rice in your hands, or grab it, you can solve your urgent need.

    The problem is that the Jiangdong army is stationed on the edge of the Han River and is seriously short of food and grass. If he sends troops to harvest rice and the troops are scattered in the fields, Zhou Yu will definitely send troops to attack. How will he resist then?

    "If we don't send troops to grab food, the inventory in Xiangyang City can support it for another month at most. Then what will the hundreds of thousands of people and more than 300,000 people eat?"

    "People are like iron, and rice is like steel. If I don't eat even one meal, I will be hungry. The soldiers have been with me from birth to death. They are already very lucky. How can they endure hunger again?"

    There are also the people in Xiangyang who have suffered from wars in recent years. If they can¡¯t even eat, they will lose their hearts and minds. I will seize the food on both sides of the Han River this time!  "

    ??¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    After repeated deliberation, Xiao Yi decided to send troops to grab food. Although this move was very risky, it was better than starving to death. However, there were two problems to face in order to grab food:

    First, when harvesting rice, Zhou Yu must be watched closely so that the Jiangdong army cannot leave the camp. They can neither steal the food nor destroy the food. Otherwise, as long as there is a fire, both sides of the Han River will be reduced to ashes!

    The second is to get the rice back in the shortest time. There are thousands of fertile fields on both sides of the Han River. The terrain is high and low, and the soil is sticky and sandy, so the rice maturity time is also inconsistent!

    ????????? Harvest which piece first, then that piece, how to arrange manpower, how to transport it back to the camp after harvesting, how to dry, shell, and bag it This is not a simple matter!

    For the former problem, Xiao Yi has been planning for several days and has a solution. For the latter problem, he needs help from an expert!

    This is another difference between Zhou Yu and Xiao Yi. When encountering problems, the former always does it himself, while the latter is good at employing people. Therefore, Zhou Yu's life is more tiring and his life span will inevitably be shorter!

    "The general will pay homage to Da Sima - all attacks are invincible and all battles are invincible!"

    "General Zhongye, please rise and take a seat to enjoy the tea!"

    "General, I would like to thank Da Sima. I wonder what the summons is about?"

      "Haha - don't be too restrained, general. We invite you to the Central Military Tent today because you have something important to entrust you with!"

    ??¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The curtain of the big tent parted, and a middle-aged man walked in. He was eight feet tall and had a dignified appearance. He knelt on one knee and saluted. It was none other than Wenpin, the surrendered general of Jingzhou!

    Xiao Yi jumped up and stretched out his hands to support him. Sun Shangxiang acted more like a housewife, personally pouring tea to entertain the guests. The two of them were so enthusiastic that Wenpin felt uncomfortable all over, and the hand holding the tea started to tremble!

    Wenpin, courtesy name Zhongye - has a brave personality and is skilled in bow and horse. He was originally a general under Liu Biao. During the Jingxiang War, he was stationed in Zhangling County in the west and blocked Cao's attack. The stalemate lasted for several months.  !

    Later, Liu Biao died of illness, Liu Cong was captured, and the city of Xiangyang fell. Wenpin had no choice but to open the city gate and surrender. Cao Cao felt that he was so loyal and courageous that he was named a general against the invaders and still commanded his troops!

    However, during the Wulin War, Wenpin led people to inspect Jiangfang, and happened to encounter Huang Gai's envoy, who then introduced the Chinese army's tent. This is how Huang Gai falsely surrendered and spread malaria. Cao's soldiers suffered numerous casualties and fled back to Jiangling in embarrassment.  !

    "Afterwards, some generals thought: 'Wenpin colluded with Jiangdong and poisoned the soldiers, so he should be beheaded to show the public.' Fortunately, Cao Cao was not confused. He just took away Wenpin's military power and let him sit on the bench!

    During this period, Wen Pin was sitting at home, sighing every day, thinking that he would never get ahead. Unexpectedly, he suddenly received a summons from Da Sima and immediately came to the Central Army to pay a visit. But he didn't know whether it was good or bad?

    "General Zhongye has lived in Jingzhou for a long time. Is he familiar with the customs on both sides of the Han River?"

    "The ancestral home of the general is on the north bank of the Han River, so he is very familiar with it!"

    "This is the best thing. I am encountering a difficult situation. General, would you like to help me?"

    "As long as Grand Sima gives the order, he will go through fire and water, even to the death!"

    ??¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Wenpin felt from the conversation that he had encountered an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he had seized it to become a successful person and regret it for the rest of his life. He suddenly became energetic!

    Xiao Yi nodded with satisfaction, patted his palms three more times, and walked in two soldiers from the outside. They were holding two boxes, one large and one small. The big one contained the battle robe, armor, and sword, and the small one only had one.  An official seal, the seal of the governor of Xiangyang County!

    "From now on, the general is the governor of Xiangyang County. I will do my best for this great Sima to snatch back the grain on both sides of the Han River. If there is no enemy interference, how long will it take to harvest?"

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? As long as he can help him, even though he is a subordinate, Xiao Yi dares to entrust him with important responsibilities!

    Of course, this is also inseparable from Wenpin's reputation for loyalty in history. Since he took refuge in Cao Ying, he has become a pillar in the south!

    "Thank you so much for your trust and promotion, General Sima. I will definitely do my best. There are so many fertile fields on both sides of the Han River. It will take at least ten days to harvest them. If the general directs it, it can be completed in six days!"

    "You don't have six days, but three or four days at most. If you get the food back, I'll guarantee you glory, wealth, and a wife and son!"

    "Is it only three or four days The general will respect his orders!"

    Wenpin had guessed before that the war situation in Jingzhou was tense now, and it was the time for Da Sima to hire people. He might want to use himself as a general and go to the battlefield to fight bloody battles!

    Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi was so generous and gave it directly to the prefect of Xiangyang County. There are nine counties in Jingzhou, and all counties have prefects, and the prefect of Xiangyang is the most important. In the past, when Liu Biao was in power, no one who was not a relative could be appointed!

    From an idler on the bench to the governor of Xiangyang County, Wenpin has risen to the top in one step. However, it is too difficult to harvest food. Even if he mobilizes all the people to leave the city, it will be difficult to succeed in three or four days?

    ¡°And he heard that Xiao Yi only said half of what he said. He had snatched the food back. Of course he was rich and prosperous. But if he couldn¡¯t get it back maybe he would be dead?

    This was a huge gamble, and it cost one's wealth and life, but Wenpin thought about it a little, and nodded in agreement. Instead of sitting on the bench, where life would be worse than death, it would be better to risk one's life and take a gamble, and seek prosperity and wealth in danger since ancient times!

    "Time is tight, the task is heavy, and there are many enemies If you want to get the food back, you need to use more strategies. General, follow me!"

    ¡°Everything must be obeyed by Da Sima!¡±

    ??¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Xiao Yi and Wenpin walked into the back tent and discussed the plan in detail until midnight, and then they got ready to go!

    No one knew what the two discussed. They only saw that when Wenpin left, he had a large roll of drawings in his hand, holding it tightly like a treasure. His originally worried face became a little more confident!

    In the next few days, Xiao Yi held frequent meetings with his civil and military officials to discuss the plan to rob food, what difficulties he would encounter, and how to deal with it!

    At the same time, the back camp is also busy. The blacksmiths are working day and night to build all kinds of strange things, including farm tools and weapons A battle for food is about to begin!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)He held frequent meetings with his civil and military officials to discuss the plan to snatch food, what difficulties would be encountered, and how to deal with it!
