In Chengdu, the sun is shining brightly and the spring breeze is blowing. Many swallows are hovering in the sky and landing on the top of the tall city gate tower, and shouting from time to time.

Before we knew it, the roof was full of swallows, white belly and black back, and from behind, it looked black.

Next to the city gate tower, the walls were also covered with black. A large number of Zhou Bing in black uniforms stood behind the battlements and looked outside the city.

Outside the city, many people are farming in the fields of the sky. The way these people farm is a bit special, by inserting green seedlings into the paddy fields.

This is strange. Many people have planted it in the fields and have never seen such a method.

As we all know, when farming, you must first cultivate the land, such as spring plowing, removing weeds, and then sowing seeds.

The seeds sprout in the ground, grow slowly, turn into seedlings, and then continue to grow, ear, and bear fruit. It is already autumn, you can

Harvested.

As a result, these Chu soldiers actually planted seedlings elsewhere and then planted them into the paddy fields?

Pull out the newly grown seedlings and plant them in another place. Can they survive?

Will you farm?

More than one person had such a question in his mind. If the two armies were not fighting now, they really wanted to go out of the city to ask whether the other party would farm.

More than a month ago, the Chu army surrounded Chengdu. Of course, the Zhou army in the city would not sit still and wait for death, and had been trying to find ways to save themselves.

They attacked many times, but without exception they were defeated.

Moreover, every attack was full of casualties. Only two or three people could come back if they went out. Among them were prisoners released by the Chu army.

So later the defenders stayed behind closed doors and waited for reinforcements that they would arrive at some point.

When will the reinforcements come? I don’t know, but it’s time to come, but I haven’t seen it yet.

Therefore, many people began to murmur in their hearts, feeling that there would be no reinforcements.

Without reinforcements outside, how long can the lonely city last? Why not...

However, no one dared to say anything, and the Chu army had basically never attacked the city after besieging the city. So for ordinary soldiers, such a bloodless confrontation was nothing bad.

As a result, the Chu soldiers began to do farming and farming, and they were happy to watch.

At the beginning, a large number of Chu soldiers mowed the grass in the field, removing weeds and collecting feed for the horses.

After cutting the grass, start plowing the land.

The Zhou soldiers couldn't believe it at first, but they were all shocked when they saw that Chu soldiers were really cultivating land in the farmland outside the city.

The Chu soldiers plowed the land and used oxen to plow the paddy fields. The plows pulled were a bit special, and the shape was different from the common plows: their shaft was shorter and curved, not straight shafts.

He also used Malay to plow the fields (dry fields), and the plow used was even more peculiar, and it actually contained two wheels.

Zhou Bing and the young and strong men who were in charge of the battle carefully observed and found that the Chu Bing's "curved plow" seemed to be good to use, mainly because of flexibility, making it easy to turn and turn, and one person could easily control it.

And the "wheel plow" of Namala is very fast to cultivate the land.

The two new plows look good when used, which makes many young and strong people garrisoned on the city wall look very eye-catching:

They are either farmers outside the city or tenants, and have a natural sense of closeness to good arable land tools.

Now, Chu Bing’s farming methods are different. It is not normal sowing and raising seedlings, but "planting seedlings" into the field. They think that the other party should not do anything randomly, so, is this method better than the traditional method?

Before they knew it, the soldiers and young soldiers guarding the head of Chengdu all privately discussed the way the Chu soldiers farmed, and the sense of urgency brought by the war disappeared invisibly.

However, there are also many people in the city who are anxious, especially the wealthy families trapped in the city.

They actually don’t care about the ownership of Chengdu City. Whether it is the Jiankang court in the past or the Chang'an court in the present, what the emperor’s surname is, whether it is a human or a dog, it has nothing to do with them.

But the fields outside the city are their foundation. Now the Chu army is besieging the city and does not attack, so they are farming outside. What does it mean?

It means taking up all the fields!!

In Chang'an, reinforcements have been sent to rescue Chengdu, but it has not arrived for a long time, so I am afraid there will be no hope. So sooner or later, Chengdu will change its ownership.

After the change of ownership, the Chu army became an official army. So, can the original owner of the original owner of the military farming field be brought back?

Shameless, I won’t even capture the city, so I will take the land first!

You are even more cruel than the Northern Barbarians!!

At this moment, Liu Ding, who was staying in the other courtyard of Chengdu City, kept cursing the Chu army outside the city in his heart.

More than 20 years ago, the Wei army (the predecessor of the Zhou army) surrounded Chengdu, and the guard generals were trapped for more than a month before surrendering.

When the Wei army entered the city, it was basically unscrupulous. There was no large-scale burning, killing, looting, and no wanton robbery of the people's wives, daughters, and land.

Therefore, although many people have no good feelings for Beilu, they quickly accepted the reality.

Liu Ding, who was in his early twenties, experienced this change.

His family had a lot of fertile land near Chengdu. After Wei captured Shu, the family business did not suffer much loss.

But now, the so-called "King Master" surrounded Chengdu and occupied land outside the city before entering the city. This made Liu Ding anxious: It's hard for us to do if you are so shameless!!

But no matter how much you scold, the reality still has to face it: the Chu army will sooner or later take Chengdu, how will it deal with the "official army" next?

More than 20 years ago, Shu was the territory of Liang State, and later captured by Wei State.

Later, Wei State became Zhou State and Liang State became Chu State, but to be honest, in the hearts of the people, the weight of the title of "Jiankang Court" was slightly greater than that of the "Chang'an Court".

For local snakes, it doesn’t matter. The question that Liu Ding has to consider is how to protect his family business (most of it), such as the fertile fertile fields outside the city.

Appropriate "filial piety" is necessary, and even if necessary, it must be "cut" the flesh. However, the Chu army's current eating habits are too ugly, and they occupy the land first as soon as they come up, which makes Liu Ding a little worried.

He didn't know what kind of gifts he could give to "respect" the main officials after the Chu army really entered the city.

Therefore, based on this anger, he hoped that the Zhou army could defeat the Chu army.

But the reality is that Chengdu will change its ownership sooner or later, and the Jiankang court will have to take charge of this land again. Then no matter how angry he feels, he will have to shamelessly please the generals of the Chu army.

The only way is to find a way to offer the city.

As long as they contact the Chu army outside and agree on the time, they, as internal responders, open a city gate and help the Chu army break through the city, and thus, they will have credit.

Then, if you lose money and eliminate disasters, you will give away a few beauties, which will make the Chu Army's commander happy and the matter will be settled.

But once such a thing is exposed, he will be beheaded by the Zhou army in the city, which is too risky.

If he waited silently and waited for the Chu army to break through the city, even if he lost a lot of land, but he was still there and had savings, he would have a chance to rekindle.

This method is the most stable, with almost no risks. Anyway, the family has sufficient food, and even if it lasts for a few more months, it will not starve to death.

However, do nothing. What if the Chu army wants to kill fat sheep to "reward the army" after entering the city, find an excuse to cut them off, confiscate their family wealth, and treat them as rewards, and give them to soldiers, what should I do?

These bird people now occupy land outside the city, which is extremely shameless. Who knows what else will do after entering the city!

Liu Ding was calculating the gains and losses, and his confidant servant Pang Wu came back to report: the several owners were consistent with his ideas.

"Are you sure?" Liu Ding asked, staring at Pang Wu's eyes: "They aren't fooling you, are they?"

Pang Wu replied with certainty: "No, no, the villain can see that these owners really don't want to drag them down."

"Is that... Then, I should do something." After Liu Ding said that, he waved his hand and Pang Wuzhi said with a look.

Liu Ding asked his confidant Pang Wu to run errands and secretly passed the message. If the other party made a head, he would be done, but Liu Ding held Pang Wu's vitals, so he was not afraid of the other party making trouble.

Soon, Liu made up his mind: he could not drag it down any longer. If he dragged it down, they would be doomed with Zhou Jun who was trapped in Chengdu.
