Zhong Zheng and Yuan Hui walked over, and Zhong Zheng asked, "Master, what matter do you two have to laugh so happily for?" I was overjoyed. "Oh! Mr. Pao and Mr. Yuan are here! That's great! Come! Let's enjoy the moon together! Oh right, where is Mr. Ma Jun? " Just as he was about to reply, "Oh! Ma Jun went to supervise the construction of the water conservancy project! "

I sighed and said, "Ma Jun, why aren't you resting! What do I do when I'm tired of working all day? "Sigh!" He was saying, "Ma Jun is really anxious to have our Jiao Prefecture's Barrenlands turn into a vast and boundless Heavenly Province, so he's working hard right now! He really is a very dutiful person! "

I said joyfully, "This year's Autumn Harvest, our territory's harvest is much greater than previous years'. This is all thanks to Mr. Ma Jun's invention of the Dragon Bone Water Wheel! Irrigation of a large area of fertile land, so in the fall to get a good harvest ah! Mr. Ma Jun has worked really hard! Moreover, he has also improved the agricultural production tools which have greatly improved the production efficiency. He has also brought along the advanced production technology of the Central Plains. I must thank him! But here, I thank Righteous Bestowal first! "Thank you!" I bowed deeply to Zheng.

Zheng asked curiously, "My lord, what are you doing?" I replied, "If you weren't the one who recommended and persuaded Mr. Ma to come and serve me, Jiao Prefecture's economy wouldn't have developed so quickly! You have done a great service! " He was looking at me gratefully.

Iron looked at the full moon and said, "There is a moon palace above the moon, and the moon palace lives in the beautiful Sister Chang'e! If there's a chance for me to see Chang'e-jiejie, that would be great! I really want to become the Jade Rabbit in Sister Chang'e's arms! " After Fan Ju heard this, he laughed and said, "Oh, you! If you keep thinking about these things, why don't you hurry up and get married? " Tie Rukuang sighed and said, "Didn't you say that you could marry any one of them? "Sigh!" Fan Ju looked at Steel in silence.

I said to Yan, "Why don't you pay your respects to the moon? Let the moon keep us safe! " Yan smiled sweetly at me and said, "Sure!" Yan then bowed towards the moon and made a wish.

Yuan Hui looked at the full moon. He could not help but have a bad premonition in his heart, he felt that this was his last Mid-Autumn Festival …

Not only was Fan Li and the others admiring the moon, Jiang Ren was also extremely angry. Jiang Ren shouted loudly: "What! Is this true? That Yuan Hui actually sealed up my store? What right does he have to seal up my shop!? " Jiang Hui answered: "Father, that Yuan Hui said that the owner of our shop is a cunning merchant, so he sealed up our shop, and we suffered heavy losses!"

Jiang Ren casually grabbed a teacup on the table and smashed it hard onto the ground. Jiang Ren shouted loudly, "Alright, Yuan Hui! You better remember this, I will find a chance to take care of you! "

When winter came, due to Zhang Jiao's economic blockade, the economy of Fan Li's territory was severely affected. The amount of clothes in Fan Li's territory was especially lacking. But the number of clothes produced by Fan Li's territory could not meet the demand. Fan Li and the rest were naturally very anxious.

Just then, Ma Jun made a redesign of the wiring machines used by the women. He changed the size of the wiring machines to 12 feet, which simplified the operation process, reduced the intensity of work, and increased the production efficiency. This greatly promoted the development of the textile industry. In the south, it was not as cold as in the north, and the demand for clothing was not as great as in the north. Thus, the clothing problem was temporarily solved.

Fan Li was furious when he found out that his economic blockade against Fan Li had not received the expected effect, and he recalled what Sima Yi had told him before. Fan Li was his greatest enemy, and he had also heard Emperor Shun mention before that "Fan Li ended the world" and "Long Mu sent dragons to welcome Fan Li." Since then, Zhang Jiao had already determined that Fan Li was his greatest enemy, so Zhang Jiao felt that it was imperative for him to eliminate Fan Li. Therefore, Zhang Jiao had gathered almost all of his army of a hundred thousand to charge towards Yu Lin in a grandiose manner!

Fan Li was once again facing a battle of immense disparity in strength …

After the scouts found out about the news, they immediately rushed back to the Ankang to report to me. I asked, "Now that Zhang Jiao has raised an army of a hundred thousand to aggressively charge towards us. It seems like he wants to completely destroy us! Zhang Jiao is determined to fight to the death with us this time! This battle was unavoidable! What brilliant plan do you guys have to defend against the enemy? "

When everyone heard the news, they looked at each other, no one daring to make a sound, obviously because they were frightened by the news of Zhang Jiao raising a huge army of a hundred thousand.

"Master, don't worry. Although the xanthopanax has a total of one hundred thousand troops, these people are not enough to be afraid of!" When the generals heard his words, they all looked at him in surprise.

Hearing that, Zhang Yan could not accept it, and said: "How can Mr. Pao say that there is nothing to be afraid of? The xanthopanax is a very effective army! That day, the combination of the humans had already swept the army in battle. The xanthopanax was invincible! I am the general of the original xanthopanax, so I am very clear about the destructive power of this kind of fighting style, as well as the psychological deterrence that I have towards the enemy soldiers! "

After I heard Zhang Yan's words, I looked to the right, I wanted to hear his opinion on this. He said with a smile all over his face, "General, if xanthopanax is the xanthopanax from a few years ago, then the warriors of xanthopanax truly made everyone tremble with fear! This was because they were completely unafraid of death. If they fought bravely, their opponents would feel an abnormal fear. The sky acted as an attack and the people acted as a form of defense. The strategy of using one's body to feed a wolf was truly, incredibly powerful! The reason they were able to fearlessly go forth and fight was only because they had a strong conviction supporting them. However, the high ranking generals of the xanthopanax were already corrupted and had thrown the belief that they were the ones who built me, Huang Tian, far away. The xanthopanax warriors felt cold in their hearts because of this. Their faith began to waver! Naturally, they will not risk their lives to fight. This way, they will not be able to unleash the might of the heaven and earth combination! "

Chen Zhi nodded, and said: "Mn! Zi Hong's words made sense! But the most important thing is that there are a lot of soldiers in xanthopanax! However, our army only has 30,000 people in the regular army and we only have 15,000 in reserve. We still have to defend the fort from all sides. This clearly means that we don't have enough troops! Furthermore, most of our soldiers are Shi Xie, Wang Lang, Xu Gong and the rest of our soldiers have surrendered to us, I am afraid these soldiers are not satisfied at all! " Zhang Yan agreed and nodded three times.

As he said, "The lord loves his soldiers like sons, while generals like Han can eat and sleep with the soldiers. This way, the cohesion of our soldiers will be very strong. And when Shi Xie and the other soldiers saw this and personally experienced this kind of benevolence and strong cohesiveness, they were also willing to serve their lord! "

He was still worried about whether he had enough manpower or not. "Even so, our forces are really not enough! The amount of troops that can be used is seriously insufficient! " He was smiling slightly and said: "War cannot be won by a side with a large number of soldiers. There are many cases of victory in the history of war, General Chen should know about this right! The xanthopanax has a fatal weakness, as long as we don't let go of this weakness, we can defeat the xanthopanax. " Zhi also laughed and said: "I want to hear it straight up. Let's see what exactly is xanthopanax's weakness."

With a smile, he said, "Alright! The xanthopanax had a lot of soldiers, but they had a fatal weakness! That meant they were short on food! Forget about providing troops for the battle, even if he were to guard in his own territory, it would not be enough to provide for his soldiers to eat. The reason why Zhang Jiao went all out to attack us is because he wanted to eliminate us. Secondly, because of our proper measures, the impact of the flood was not that much.

Zhi Zhi laughed out loud and said: "So as long as we stand firm and clear, as long as Zhang Jiao's army runs out of food, then Zhang Jiao's army will take the chance to launch an attack on Zhang Jiao without fighting back! Haha! Zi Hong and I are indeed like heroes! "

After he glanced at Zhi Zhi, he also laughed out loud. After a while, he said, "Furthermore, our Jiao Prefecture has many mountains, so it will definitely be difficult for Zhang Jiao to transport the food. Most of the grain and foodstuffs sent to the army would be used up on the road. For Zhang Jiao, who was in urgent need of fodder and fodder, this was also one of the disadvantageous factors in fighting in the mountain region. Also, Zhang Jiao's xanthopanax soldiers are mostly from the Xuzhou, they came here after the Qingzhou rebellion. They came to our Jiao Prefecture, but are not good at fighting in the mountains, so it would be hard for him to suppress us, the local tyrant! Furthermore, the soldiers of the xanthopanax missed their hometown, but the road back to their hometown was already cut off. In these few years, many of the Zhang Jiao Army soldiers have fled, the strong feeling of homesickness has caused the xanthopanax's fighting strength to drop greatly! "

Smiling wisely, he continued: "There is no one who does not wish to take back their territory when Zhang Jiao has occupied Liu Biao's couch, Gui Yang, and other counties. It is only because they fear that Zhang Jiao's forces are still extremely strong that they do not dare to act rashly. As long as Zhang Jiao loses, Liu Biao will definitely launch a huge attack at Zhang Jiao. Without a doubt, our army will have another reliable ally! At that time, Zhang Jiao would really be in trouble! "Haha!"

Zhengzhi's words made the generals heave a deep sigh of relief, and they began to heartily laugh. I looked at the generals and asked, "Do you have any opinions on this? If you have no objections, then do as Mr. Pao has said! " The generals nodded.

Upon seeing this, I said, "That's good! It was decided! Mr. Pao and Chen Zhi, General Han Cheng will stay behind with me to draw up a concrete battle plan. Everyone can leave on their own! "

After the generals had left, my face was filled with worry, because I was still worried about the lack of manpower, because I was well aware of the difficulties …

[Note 1]: Before the Warring States Era, people said that there was a moon palace on the moon and Chang'e lives there. In the Han Dynasty, Chang'e felt lonely, so there was a Jade Rabbit accompanying her. In the Tang Dynasty, there was a legend of Wu Gang cutting down the osmanthus tree.

[Note 2]: The ancients believed that the moon belonged to the Yin and was symbolized by women. Therefore, there was a proverb: "Men do not worship the moon, and women do not worship the stove." Ancient women worshiped the moon in mid-autumn. Naturally, only Yan would pay her respects, and Fan Li and the other men would not! Hehe.
