Chapter 473
"What... Captain Diannong..." Listening to Liu Jun's words, Li Sanhuai was stunned all of a sudden.
Although he didn't know what Captain Diannong was, he also knew that it was an official!
He has been an ordinary person for generations, a pariah, when did he ever think of having an official body? It's not that I haven't thought about it, but I don't dare to think about it! But now, because of planting potatoes, he suddenly became an official and had an official body, and this happiness came too quickly! Li Sanhuai was at a loss.
"Li Sanhuai, the King of Han appointed you as the captain of the Dian Agricultural Colonel, and you are not quick to thank you, are you still unwilling?" Huangfuhong saw Li Sanhuai's appearance, naturally understood, so he reminded.
"King Han... It turned out to be the King of Han... Grass people... Genus...... Subordinates... The subordinates thank Wang Ye for his great grace..." Li Sanhuai was speechless just now, but now he stammered and couldn't say a complete sentence.
The great name of the King of Han, all the people of Beidi County are like thunder. The battle of Maling defeated the 100,000-strong army of Liu Bao, the Xiongnu Zuoxian king, and everyone knows it. And from then on, no Hun soldiers would go south.
Li Sanhuai was still a little strange just now, why these soldiers are different from the past, they still reason with the people, it turns out to be the Han king's subordinates, it is the Han army!
"Li Sanhuai, he is the imperial concubine of Beidi County, in the future, you will be under him, as long as Beidi County can grow potatoes in a large area, it will be a great achievement, and this king will be rewarded!"
"Thank you Wang Ye, your subordinates will definitely let potatoes grow all over Beidi County!" Li Sanhuai looked very excited, he may not have confidence in being an official, but he can grow potatoes!
"Huangfuhong, you immediately contact the merchants in the Western Regions and ask them to sell more potatoes and make seeds. It's just early summer, it's not too late to plant, you can try planting some!
Although Li Sanhuai's potatoes have grown luxuriantly, Liu feels that the climate here has just warmed up, and it may be time to plant them now.
"No!"
"Those more than 3,000 disabled soldiers, after recovering from their injuries, they can be allowed to participate in planting potatoes, or building roads, maintaining trees, and doing what they can, but pay attention to their bodies, the intensity cannot be large!"
"No!"
The next day, Liu Cong continued to inspect Beidi County, and while arranging for officials to contact merchants from the Western Regions to buy potatoes, Huangfuhong asked several officials to stay here, and transferred some county soldiers to let the newly appointed Li Sanhuai, the captain of the Dian Agricultural School, choose a suitable place around and prepare to plant potatoes on a trial basis.
In the process of inspection, Liu Jun basically determined several important things to be done in Beidi County in the future.
Planting potatoes and trees is the most important, followed by roads, canals and reservoirs.
Northland County is perennially arid, but there are also a few small rivers that, if used well, can solve some irrigation problems.
On the third day, Liu Jun and his party left Maling City for about a hundred miles, and were walking forward, when they suddenly came to report that a group of robbers were robbing a caravan.
Since Liu Jun occupied this Beidi County, Hao Zhaosu had sent troops to eliminate it several times, and the robbers had slowly disappeared, but it was really a bit unexpected to appear at this time.
"How many robbers are there?"
"Returning to Wang Ye, there are about seven or eight hundred people, and there are more than two hundred war horses!"
"Seven or eight hundred people..." Huangfu Hong was a little surprised when he heard this, "Lord, there are still robbers in this Northland County today, but the largest cloud in the sky is less than two hundred bandits!" There have never been seven or eight hundred robbers!
"Shi A, let the Royal Forest Army line up and slowly press over!" In any case, since he encountered robbers robbing the caravan, then Liu Wei could not ignore it.
"No!"
The five hundred Yulin Army are all cavalry, well-equipped, and they are all selected from the veterans of a hundred battles, how can they be afraid of seven or eight hundred robbers? So he immediately formed an attack formation and pressed over.
Turning a small hill, I first heard shouts of killing and screaming, and after walking about three or four miles, I saw a piece of sand in front of me, and more than a thousand people were mixed together.
In the middle was a caravan, two or three hundred men, with carriages and camels. They also had more than two hundred guards, but most of them had been killed and wounded.
Outside were seven or eight hundred robbers, surrounding them. Two hundred of the cavalry were outside, and did not charge to kill. The robbers, who did not ride horses, armed with various weapons, were besieging the caravan's guards.
"Lord, those who ride horses are all Hun soldiers!" Fa Zheng looked ahead and said.
"Yes, they are the defeated soldiers of the Huns!" Liu Jian nodded.
Although these people wore different and varied leather armor, the weapons in their hands were basically scimitars, and those war horses were also familiar to Liu Jun. It is clear that it was the defeat of the Battle of Maling.
In the battle of Maling, many tribal leaders were killed, and originally their remnants of soldiers were collected by Liu Bao. However, when withdrawing the troops, they were ambushed by Zhang Xiu, and many soldiers broke up and became stragglers, which were obviously part of it.
"Lord, the one riding the big black horse is the largest robber leader in the Northland County before!" Huangfuhong pointed to a small hill in front of him, and saw five people riding on horses, it was obvious that they were the leaders of the robbers, "The few next to the clouds are also the leaders of the robbers before, last year General Hao Zhao suppressed the bandits, they scattered and fled, but I didn't expect that now they colluded with the Xiongnu soldiers to harm the merchants in the past!" At
this time, dozens of more of the guards of the caravan died, and the robbers were about to rush into the caravan.
"Shi A, lead the Yulin Army and wipe out all these Xiongnu soldiers and robbers!" Liu Wei ordered loudly.
"No!" Shi Ah promised, and waved the long sword in his hand, "Kill me!" "
Kill!" These soldiers of the Royal Forest Army had long been unable to bear it, and after hearing Shi'a's order, they shouted at the same time, beat their horses like flying, and rushed over.
"The Han army... The Han army is coming..." Although the Xiongnu soldiers did not fight with the guards of the caravan just now, they all looked at the battlefield and did not find that they had been surrounded, and then they saw the Han cavalry all over the mountains, and they were frightened all of a sudden.
If they had seen more Han troops than them in the past, they might not have been afraid, or they would not have put it in their eyes. However, in the battle of Maling, they had already learned the horror of this Han army, so they did not obey the command of the general at all, and scattered and fled.
But now they want to escape, how can the soldiers of the Yulin Army agree, they are all holding crossbows in their hands, and immediately hang Han knives and projectile guns, such good equipment, if the Xiongnu soldiers escape, won't they lose the face of the Yulin Army?
So several centurions led their soldiers, blocked all the roads, and then scattered dense arrows.
"Ah..." the Hun soldiers turned on their backs and screamed.
Those robbers, seeing that the guards of the caravan were killed, were about to rob something, but they did not expect the situation to change abruptly. Just as he was stunned, the war horse of the Yulin Army rushed over.
