In the fifth year of Yuanfeng in 76 BC, in the middle of the fourth month of the summer calendar, the sun of Shanshan became hotter and hotter day by day.Countless flowers bloomed on the edge of the ridges, but the feet of a pair of Han soldiers ruthlessly stepped on them, going back and forth in the fields.Not to mention cherry blossom viewing, everyone is so busy that they don't even have time to sit down and rest.More than 50 soldiers who were ordered to fight a difficult battle in Tuntian, a mud city in Shanshanguo.Looking from afar, after the burial of winter snow and the illumination of the spring sun, the winter wheat planted by Ren Hong before leaving has matured.The waves of wheat are like a golden carpet, spread on the flat and fertile land, and a gust of wind blows, and you can even smell the fragrance of wheat in the air.More than 20 tanned Tuntian scholars bent over with iron sickles in their hands and hugged the wheat in their laps, only to hear the "rustle" sound of cutting the wheat stalks.After cutting a bundle and tying it up, throw it on the ridge, immediately someone carried it on the cart and dragged it to the threshing floor, and there were more than ten people there, surrounding the threshing barrel, waving the wheat bundle and slapping, and the sound of "ping pong" was endless.Song Litian put his hands behind his back, bypassed the people threshing, and came behind a short man who was bending down to cut wheat.But when he saw this person, his legs were standing firmly in the field, the sickle in his hand cut the millet quickly, and he was very engaged, if it wasn't for Song Litian shouting loudly, he wouldn't have raised his head at all."
Zheng Jun, although you are a southerner, your wheat cutting skills are good."
Zheng Ji turned around, his hair was covered with wheat mangs, his skin was a little darker than last year, and sweat was running down his forehead, leaving mottled salt spots.Seeing that it was Song Litian, Zheng Ji was about to answer, but he was scratched by the ears of wheat and sneezed violently.Alas, I still suffered the loss of being petite.Zheng Ji was a little embarrassed, rubbed his nose and said, "I cut rice in the paddy field during the meeting, almost, almost." ”Yesterday, Zhao Han'er, Lu Jiuyu and others escorted Liu Wannian, the prince of Wusun, and finally arrived in Shanshan after more than 20 days of trekking.The two informed them of the war in the Northern Western Regions and conveyed Ren Hong's request: "The Yumen Han army can reach Loulan in May, and I hope that Shanshan will transport grain to Loulan City in advance and wait." ”Nearly 1,000 Han troops in the north were besieged by the Xiongnu and Qiuzi, and everyone knew the seriousness of the matter.It stands to reason that the Tuntian soldiers in the Western Regions must obey the command of Captain Lai Dan, but Lai Dan himself was trapped in Luntai, and there was no communication, so he could only act cheaply before the arrival of Fu Jiezi's envoys at Yumen Pass.Fortunately, Ren Hong informed Shanshan of the matter as soon as possible and asked them to prepare.Therefore, the tuntian scholars had to cut the wheat harvest in the field as soon as possible.But even with an iron sickle, it was still not fast to cut the stubble, and the work was very tiring, and at the end of the day, the waist was about to break.There are still many processes to turn wheat into food, and when Zheng Ji sat down to drink water, he asked about the situation in Song Litian's dock yard."
More than a dozen donkeys sent by King Shanshan are grinding day and night, hulling the wheat and grinding it into flour."
Wheat rice was hard to eat, and it was not easy to carry, and in the distance, puffs of cooking smoke were rising, and it was seven or eight naan pits burning in the fire.Zheng Ji intended to bake all the wheat noodles into the simplest naan as dry food for the Han army.Song Litian said happily: "Fortunately, before Ren Jun left, let us make more stone grinding and build more naan pits, otherwise we would really not be able to catch up." ”"Yes, Shanshan Tuntian can have today's results, thanks to Ren Jun laying the foundation, counting, these 500 acres of land, in the end, can probably receive 1,000 stones of husked wheat."
Zheng Ji poured another sip of water and prepared to return to the field to continue his work."
The post cavalry sent by the canal plough should arrive at Yumen Pass now, and the reinforcements of the Han Dynasty will be able to arrive in Loulan in mid-May, and we still have a month to prepare."
Song Litian was not worried about this: "Time is not tight, but a thousand stones of grain, is it enough?"
”Don't expect the Han army to bring a grain of grain from Yumen, it is too difficult to cross the white dragon pile and turn over three ridges of sand, even if Fu Jiezi brings 2,000 reinforcements, he will have to rely on the grain support of Shanshan and Loulan.Song Litian folded his rough fingers and calculated the account for Zheng Ji: "One thousand stone of grain, if you save some, two thousand Han soldiers will eat for half a month." ”"If you add their horses and eat the millet and grass together, it will only be enough for ten days.""
This is not counting the loss from Shanshan to Loulan, we have to scrape together at least twice the food to barely enough.""
But there is still a vacancy of a thousand stones, Zheng Jun, what should I do?"
Zheng Ji looked at the mud city in the distance: "When I visited King Shanshan yesterday, King Shanshan said that the remaining 1,000 stone grain will be sent by him!"
”In the mud city, Liu Wannian, the prince of Wusun, officially represented the country of Wusun and visited Tu Qi, the king of Shanshan.The two sides met warmly, entered the city hand in hand, sat on a Han-style chariot, and headed in the direction of the "palace"."
You just need to take care of Prince Wusun, take a long detour, and arrive at Shanshan, as for the difficulties of the wheel, the canal plow, and the iron gate, leave it to me to solve!"
Liu Wannian is just a 13-year-old kid who loves adventure, and is telling King Shanshan about their escape from distress in Qiuzi."
Ren Jun said this, and then left with my sister on a light horse, and went to Wusun to move the rescue soldiers and help the Han soldiers get out of trouble."
It's a pity that Ren Hong's more excessive sentence of "one person destroys one country" is only told to the robes with their courage, so Liu Wannian doesn't know."
It's worthy of Ren Jun!"
But even so, King Shanshan also applauded Ren Hongzhi's words and deeds, feeling that he really didn't see the wrong person, and then sighed secretly."
I'm so stupid, Ren Jun is a person who wants to do great things for Tianhan, I even want to keep him as a minister of state in this small place of Shanshanguo, alas, it's really beyond my strength."
Thinking of the scene of Ren Hong and Princess Wusun riding up the Tianshan Mountain and wading through mountains and rivers through hardships, Yu Tuqi felt tears in his eyes.Then Lieutenant Tu Qi asked with concern: "Prince Wannian, can Ren Jun borrow soldiers from Wusun?"
”Liu Wannian patted his chest: "Of course you can, you can!"
With the help of my mother, Lord Chu, this matter will be successful, and at this moment, my sister and Ren Jun should have returned to the North Road with Wusun's cavalry, and they must teach the Qiuzi people a good lesson!
”Yu Tu Qi let out a sigh: "I'm relieved, Prince Wannian, please!"
”On the next road, Liu Wannian also excitedly talked about the adventure of their group walking through the desert on the Mi River."
We walked along the mud river for a full fifteen days, and now it is a spring day when the water is small, and the mud is cut off in some places, and we encounter strong winds and sand, we lost the road for a while, but fortunately there are Zhao Jun and Lu Jun to guide us, and we can find the river again.""
And after arriving at Luntai, the king of Yakmi is the younger brother of the captain Lai Dan, and he heard that his brother was trapped in Luntai, and he was also anxious, but the small people of Yakmi are widowed, and they are separated by a big desert, and they have to walk for more than half a month to get to Luntai, and the king of Yakmi can't do anything except cry to the north.""
For the next ten days, we walked eastward along the southern road, and when we met the essence and the end, it was the same word.Although they were all moved by Lai Dan half a year ago, they have belonged to the Han Dynasty, but in this battle, the states can't help much. ”The more he said this, the more unsightly Wei Tuqi's face became, and finally he slammed his fist on the car."
That's because they don't love Dahan enough!"
Wei Tu Qi said hatefully: "When seeking the gift of silk silk, I was respectful to the Han, but once I encountered something, I refused to help.If you really respect the Han, you will be desperate to help the Han win this battle!
”After scolding, he noticed Liu Wannian's surprised expression, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry Prince Wannian, I lost my temper, ahead is my palace!"
”When the car turned a corner and Shanshan Palace appeared in front of him, the expectant expression on the face of Liu Wannian, the prince of Wusun, completely disappeared.What a palace, it is a small courtyard with vineyards, which is not much different from what he saw before in Yakmi and the end, and sure enough, the small country is shabby.It is okay to take a look at the characteristics of different states in the Western Regions, but what is too much is that this courtyard has been transformed to the point that there is no Loulan feature at all, all of them are Han-style furniture and furnishings, and even the banquet has been changed from the vineyard to the small hall, and everyone sits separately.Eating also made Liu Wannian not very satisfied: Hu cake decorated with raisins, a small bowl of corn, a small plate of mutton, and a small cup of wine, this is Shanshan's "state banquet"?"
Puer Xiaobang, it really can't be compared with Wusun."
Liu Wannian secretly said in his heart, and at the same time found that King Shanshan was only sitting, and there was nothing on the desk except water."
Shanshan Wang, you are" "Oh, Xiao Wang has used it, not hungry, not hungry." ”Saying that, King Shanshan's eyes stared at the food on Liu Wannian's case and swallowed saliva, and he was weak to speak."
Have you already eaten it?"
When Liu Wannian heard this, he was angry, he was the prince of Wusun, a big state, when he was in the northern province, how could Gumo and other countries not be warmly entertained?
There has never been a shortage of feasts, dances and music, but I don't want to be humiliated in Shanshan.He couldn't bear it any longer, slapped the case, and scolded: "It turns out that King Shanshan first ate a good meal, and then entertained me with dog food, is this Shanshan's hospitality?"
”"Prince Wusun is angry!"
A woman's voice sounded, and a woman with a big belly walked out, but it was Guo Gongren, the wife of King Shanshan.With tears in her eyes, Guo Gongren explained to her husband: "The prince doesn't know, since yesterday, the beloved only eats one meal a day, and no longer eats with the concubine in the evening, so he is hungry, and in addition to the concubine, the slaves and maids of the entire palace also eat only one meal a day." ”"This, why" Liu Wannian was shocked, he had never known what it was like to be hungry since he was a child, and he couldn't understand King Shanshan's approach at all.Could it be that Shanshan is already so poor?"
Because only when you eat enough can you have enough soldiers!
Every time we save a little bit of food, when the Han reinforcements arrive in the Western Regions, they can eat an extra dry food. ”King Shanshan sat upright, even if he was hungry, he didn't look at the food, but looked ahead."
I only eat one meal a day now, in addition, I also want to save royal expenses, silk and bamboo singing and dancing, pipa music, all stopped, I don't want to enjoy, don't pomp, don't want bells to ring.""
The reason why this is so is to set an example for the nobles of Shanshan!
I hope that those wealthy families who listened to Ren Jun's words and planted wheat with the method taught by Li Tian and got a bumper harvest can lend me the surplus grain at home, and then I will pass it on to Zheng Sima to make dry food and send it to Loulan as food for the Han army. ”Yu Tu Qi stood up and collected the belt on his abdomen, a bit like the thin waist of the Chu State.Although he was dizzy with hunger and his steps were a little vain, at this moment, in the eyes of Guo Gongren and Liu Wannian, Yu Tuqi's whole person was glowing!"
