Rebirth of the Southern Barbarian Meng Huo

Chapter 91 Han Hao’s Farming

I want to ask which prince contributed the most to the battle to suppress the demons against Dong?The answer is not Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance who led the heroes of Shandong, nor Sun Jian, the pioneer who led the soldiers of Yuzhou, but Wang Kuangye, the governor of Hanoi.

Wang Kuang was originally from Taishan County in Yanzhou. He had stationed troops in Taishan County as early as possible. After He Jin's death, he was granted the title of prefect of Hanoi. As early as before the coalition of princes was formed, he had a fight with Dong Zhuo's Liangzhou soldiers. Although he was defeated, the Liangzhou soldiers were afraid.When the princes united to fight Dong Zhuo, he took the lead and killed his general Fang Yue, and almost died at the hands of Lu Bu.After the coalition forces of the princes were disbanded, he returned to Hanoi with his remaining defeated troops.

After returning to Hanoi, Wang Kuang's life began to be difficult.But in order to crusade Dong Zhuo, he plundered powerful people's food, grass and money, but offended many people.Now that he was defeated and returned, some powerful people were already trying to get rid of him as the prefect.In this world where the ruler is not the king and the ministers are not the ministers, whoever has the strength is the overlord of one party, and I don’t know how many people are eyeing the position of the prefect.

If his subordinate Han Hao hadn't betrayed him, he might not have been able to do it as a prefect.In this way, he had the heart to surrender to Yuan Shao.Moreover, he had already sent someone to contact Yuan Shao, and he would join Yuan Shao as soon as he arrived.However, the people he sent out were less than three days away when they suddenly heard that a troop of troops was coming towards Huaicheng.

Huaicheng is the county seat of Hanoi.

Wang Kuang was horrified when he heard that a troop of troops was coming to Huaicheng.These days, there are many feudal lords and warlords, and someone may come to grab the territory at any time, so he immediately entangled his troops and sealed the city gate.

Wang Kuang could see clearly who the leader was from a few miles away.

"Why is it him?" Seeing that man's face, Wang Kuang's expression suddenly turned ugly.

"Who is it?" Wang Kuang's subordinate Han Hao asked, but his cultivation was still low and he did not have Wang Kuang's eyesight.

Now the only one who can make suggestions to Wang Kuang is Han Hao. Wang Kuang hurriedly said: "The person coming is the Imperial Master Meng Huo. Yuan Si, please think about how we should deal with this person?"

Han Hao did not expect that the person who came was Meng Huo, so he thought for a while and said: "The emperor's teacher Meng Huo is famous all over the world. He has a bad name for suppressing the Five Hus, Yellow Turbans, and princes; he is also known for his benevolence all over the North, Luoyang, and the world. There are more under his command. The genius Guo Jia, the poisonous scholar Jia Xu, the wise Confucian general Xia Mou, and the white horse general Pang De came in and heard that Meng Huo had subdued Lu Bu and captured the immortal general Zhang Shun. Huonai is the most suitable candidate, I don’t know how much better than Yuan Shao.”

"But my cultivation..." Wang Kuang hesitated, but was a little unwilling.He is the overlord of one side, and the reason why he is able to reach the peak of the Hedan Realm is because he also possesses the True Dragon of Luck. Once he surrenders to others and becomes a minister, the True Dragon of Luck will dissipate and his cultivation level will also decline.

Han Hao did not speak this time. The True Dragon of Luck was definitely a good thing, but not everyone could own it. The owner was destined to conquer the world.This thing will improve personal cultivation and become addictive.If Wang Kuang couldn't let it go, he would inevitably be killed.

"That's it!" Wang Kuang sighed, and then shouted loudly: "Open the city gate!"

When Meng Huo and his party arrived at Huaicheng, they saw the city gate wide open. The prefect Wang Kuang led the crowd to stand respectfully in front of the city gate. Seeing Meng Huo, he quickly saluted: "The prefect of Hanoi welcomes the emperor's arrival."

Meng Huo did not expect that such a scene would happen. He originally thought that if he was to station troops in Hanoi, he would inevitably have to fight with Wang Kuang. How could he expect that Wang Kuang was so sensible that he opened the city gate and dismounted to greet him.

This made Meng Huo a little embarrassed.However, this emotion passed in a flash. Even if Meng Huo did not take this place, Yuan Shao would take it.Therefore, Meng Huo did not intend to let it go.

Meng Huo also got off his horse and said to Wang Kuang: "Prefect Wang, there is no need to be polite. I would like to station troops here to wait for the emperor's return. I hope that Prefect Wang will not be weird." People in the Ming Dynasty do not speak secretly, and everyone is smart. Meng Huo made it clear.

Wang Kuang had long known that Meng Huo wanted to separate the territory. Seeing what Meng Huo said was so upright, he immediately admired Meng Huo and said: "What are you talking about, Imperial Master? Hanoi was close to Luoyang. Now that Luoyang is in ruins, Imperial Master is guarding this place." When the emperor comes back, he will be a great virtuous person, and he will naturally support the emperor's master and be willing to be his pawn."

"Prefect Wang is indeed sensible. In this case, Prefect Wang should still be the prefect of Hanoi. I have direct jurisdiction over the military affairs of Hanoi." Although Meng Huo did not demote Wang Kuang's official position, Wang Kuang's prefect is no longer the same as before. It was granted by Meng Huo.Once Wang Kuang agreed, he would no longer be a minister of Han, but a minister of Meng Huo.

"Yes! I will obey the emperor's orders." Wang Kuang agreed.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Kuang felt a light sensation on his body, and suddenly he saw a true dragon of luck emerge from his body and quickly fall into Meng Huo's body.

Wang Kuang's cultivation level dropped directly from the Dan level inside He Dan to the Dan level outside He Dan, and a three-foot sword appeared in his hand.

Wang Kuang's cultivation level had declined, but Meng Huo showed no signs of breakthrough.

Meng Huo absorbed the True Dragon of Luck from Wang Kuang, and the four-clawed Black True Dragon of Luck in Meng Huo's Consciousness Sea became much stronger. There were faint signs of giving birth to a fifth claw, but Meng Huo still would not break through.One of the very important reasons is that the True Dragon of Luck has little effect on Meng Huo's breakthrough to the great realm, and can only increase Meng Huo's accumulation.

Seeing that Meng Huo had not made a breakthrough, Wang Kuang asked in surprise: "Master Emperor, why did you..."

"It's not the right time." Meng Huo's answer was simple, but it made Wang Kuang surprised. Breakthroughs in cultivation are often uncontrollable, especially when luck is added to it, which is even more uncontrollable. But Meng Huo actually Shengsheng suppressed it, which made Wang Kuang extremely puzzled.

Although he was puzzled, Wang Kuang no longer asked any more questions, but welcomed Meng Huo into Huaicheng.

In this way, Meng Huo officially took over Hanoi, and Wang Kuang only became the nominal governor.But as Meng Huo's army moved in, problems also arose.

Hanoi is short of food.

In order to attack Dong, Wang Kuang ransacked almost all of Hanoi. From the common people to the powerful, everyone was short of food and grass.Not to mention that Meng Huo also brought [-] soldiers, who all needed to be clothed, fed, and paid.

It's almost the beginning of spring, and the people don't even have the seeds to sow.

For this reason, Meng Huo summoned his generals, counselors, and Wang Kuang to ask for advice.

The issue of food and grass was first brought up during the meeting. Wang Kuang stood up from the table and said: "Master, most people in Hanoi don't have food and grass now, but there is a family in Wen County, Hanoi who must have extra food and grass. If they can get it, , then we won’t have to worry about food and fodder for the Imperial Army’s army.”

"I'm afraid it's not a long-term solution!" Meng Huo sighed. If it was just a temporary need for food and grass, Meng Huo wouldn't have to worry. Someone would naturally send it. But if the troops are stationed for a long time and this problem is not fundamentally solved, I'm afraid it won't work. .

Wang Kuang shook his head repeatedly: "The emperor doesn't know that the Sima family in Wen County has been a family of officials since the early Eastern Han Dynasty, and is now the most powerful wealthy family in Hanoi. If I hadn't caught them, I would have killed the Sima family long ago." Everything has been looted. If we can get the Sima family's wealth, we can raise an army for three years."

"Sima clan?" Meng Huo couldn't help asking, and he was shocked. It turned out that the Sima clan who unified the chaos of the Three Kingdoms was actually in Wen County, Hanoi. Wen County was only more than 100 miles north of Huaicheng, so close!

"It is that Sima family. I think this Sima family has quite different intentions. Now that the Emperor lives in Hanoi, we should not allow such powerful men with ulterior motives to exist!" Wang Kuang continued.

Meng Huo nodded and said, "I know, and I will go to the Sima family soon."

"I wonder if you guys have any good ideas?" Meng Huo looked around.

Needless to say, Xia Mou, Pang De, and Gao Shun were generals. They only knew how to lead troops and fight, but they didn't have a good solution to the problem of food and grass. Neither could Guo Jia and Jia Xu. Although they were geniuses and poisonous men, Name, but that is about strategy, as for internal affairs, it is not their strong point.

Seeing the four most trusted ministers speechless, Meng Huo couldn't help but think of Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Zhuge Jin and other experts who handled internal affairs during the Three Kingdoms period. Unfortunately, he still doesn't have a master of internal affairs under his command.

Just when Meng Huo was struggling to think of a good idea, a man stood up from behind Wang Kuang and said, "Master, I have something to say, do you want to hear it?"

Meng Huo had already noticed that the man behind Wang Kuang was an extraordinary person, but he had never known him. Now that this man came forward, Meng Huo said quickly: "But it doesn't matter."

"If we want to fundamentally solve the food problem, there is only one way, and that is to grow food!"

"Isn't this nonsense! We grow food every year, but how much we can harvest is far from enough to supply food and grass!" Gao Shun shouted.

"Gao Shun must not be presumptuous, please listen to what you say, sir." Meng Huo shouted back at Gao Shun. After giving Gao Shun a Life and Fortune Pill, Gao Shun knew that Meng Huo did not regard him as an outsider, although he did not say that he surrendered to Meng Huo. , but the central government already regarded Meng Huo as the lord.Therefore, Meng Huo did not take his scolding to heart and remained silent.

And the man continued: "Of course, the way of obtaining food such as grain and grass needs to be changed. If the emperor's army comes here to station troops, it is not allowed to come here to farm! Now there is a shortage of food and grass in Hanoi. The spring plowing season is about to come, and the people are no longer in need of food. You can't sow, for fear of causing trouble. If the emperor can recruit sergeants on a large scale and recruit most of the people as sergeants, the emperor will not let them give up the battlefield, but let them farm. This is farming. In this way, the people There will be no rebellion, and there is food and grass. If there is a little slack in farming, these people may not be able to become soldiers if they train a little. In this way, they can both station troops and farm fields, and then there will be no worries about food and grass."

After the man finished speaking, everyone's eyes lit up and they all looked at him. Meng Huo stood up from his seat, walked up to the man and said, "I wonder what I call you, sir?"

"Sir, I don't dare to take it. I am Han Hao and Han Yuansi." Han Hao said.

Meng Huo nodded suddenly and said: "It turns out that he is a righteous man of Yuan Si. Huainan has eyesight and does not recognize Mount Tai, so he is neglecting a righteous man." It turns out that Han Hao is not an unknown person. Dong Zhuo once threatened him with his uncle, and Han Hao was stunned. If you don't follow, you will be famous in Hanoi.Now Han Hao proposed the farming system that Cao Cao had not implemented yet, and Meng Huo felt that this man was extraordinary.

Seeing Meng Huo giving him a gift, Han Hao quickly returned the gift: "Yuan Si doesn't dare to accept it."

"You deserve it! Now that the righteous man has proposed the farming system, the matter will be fully handed over to the righteous man. This life-creating elixir is of great use. In exchange for the upfront reward, if things can be done, Huainan will worship the righteous man as the chief agricultural officer. "Meng Huo actually handed a Life and Creation Pill into Han Hao's hand.

Han Hao wanted to refuse, but when he heard Meng Huo's message, he immediately put it aside and said to Meng Huo, "Yuan Si has met my lord."

Meng Huo patted Han Hao on the shoulder and said, "Yuan Si, let's go ahead and do it. When I go to the Sima clan, we will start farming!"

"Yes, lord!" Han Hao happily agreed.

After the discussion was over, Guo Jia came to Meng Huo's side and said, "My lord, you are so generous. You gave away a Life and Fortune Pill so simply."

"What do you do? If Han Hao's farming system can really be achieved, it will be worth it!" Meng Huo was full of expectations.
