The deputy general of the enemy army quickly sent back the ten Wen coins, and rode a fast horse to the gate of the besieged city, saying: "General Xiao, Lord Song, should I send this money up, or should you come down and get it?"

Although the enemy general returned to the camp quickly, but he was not a simple-minded person, so he immediately summoned his elite soldiers, mixed in with the besieged soldiers, and went to buy, sell and eat.

It is also a way to go in and have a look while giving money.

Unexpectedly, Song Wen directly took out a long rope, tied it around the bamboo tube several times, and then let it down from the city wall, like fishing, and said to the enemy lieutenant general: "Just put the money in the bamboo tube."

Enemy Lieutenant General: Miscalculated!

However, he simply threw ten Wen coins into the bamboo tube, and then took out two large pancakes wrapped in oiled paper from his pocket, and said with a sincere smile, "I want to exchange the pancakes, but this bamboo tube won't fit."

"Wait a minute." Song Wen turned around, and when he came back, he took a bamboo basket covered with a soft cloth.Tie the handle with a long rope, then put down the city wall, and smiled at the enemy lieutenant with big white teeth, which was also very sincere.

The lieutenant general of the enemy army nodded with a smile and praised that it was a good idea. He put two flatbreads on the basket, lifted it up, and replaced it with a fragrant fried chicken cutlet.The lieutenant general took out another piece of flatbread from his arms, rolled the fried chicken cutlet into it, and ate it together, the taste was also very good.

"It's delicious." It was another compliment, this time there was nothing else, and he rode away directly.

Anyway, they are not in a hurry, Song Wen and Xiao Lue can't keep guarding the city wall to buy and sell, there are so many soldiers, if they buy too much, they will naturally be able to get acquainted and get some news.

After waiting for a few days like this, the little soldiers sent out to spy did not get any news. On the contrary, their faces were full of greasy food recently, and they could discuss with each other about what to buy next time.

This situation is also helpless.

The gates of this impoverished city are tightly locked, and the daily trade and food are hung from the gates with baskets. It is impossible for them to sneak into the city.If you want to say a few more words with those who buy, sell, and eat, that's not enough. Except for the cashier, you don't say a word.

The enemy general was very angry, and immediately called back the spies he sent out, and asked with a dark face, "What do you want? You didn't get any news."

He looked at the one kneeling on the ground, thinking whether he should kill the chicken to make an example to the monkey?Under stimulation, you can always come up with a way.

The spy soldier remained silent, he suddenly raised his eyes to see the cold light in his general's eyes, and said in a jerk, "General, although we didn't get in, it's true that there is not enough food and grass in the besieged city. The few soldiers who change every meal are all taken by Xiao Lue." If you have seized the threat, let them exchange for more dry food or directly get the grain and grass in hand."

Those who besieged the city in their army had corresponding food and grass reserves just in case.However, the rear is the camp, and there is not much food and grass stored in front of the battle.

The deputy general of the enemy army said: "General, if all the food and grass prepared by the besieging soldiers and horses are replaced, it will indeed cause a certain amount of turmoil. Xu Xiaolue and the others are planning this."

The enemy general said: "Fart! What kind of turmoil can that little food and grass cause?"

Sure enough, the prying soldier also objected: "What the general said is very true. According to the soldier who was caught and threatened, it was Mr. Song who said that he was tired of eating the big pancakes all day long, and wanted to change some food and grass. He made it himself. When it was done, he sold it to us. .”

It was because of this that he did not report this matter, and the reason for this is really hard to explain.What's more, Xiao Lue personally went out to arrest and threaten people, just for a change of taste, who would believe it!

Besides, Mr. Song is going too far. Didn't he ask him to cut the big pancake in half, stuff meat and vegetables inside, roll it up, and change the name - burrito, and it's in their hands again.The pastry I exchanged by myself became half of it, and I added some things, and it took four large pies to exchange it!

Although it does taste good, it is still dark!

The enemy general and deputy general: "..."

Seeing that his general and lieutenant were not looking good, the spy soldier quickly added: "I see these days of business, they have a lot of vegetables in the trapped city, and there is a steady stream. Sometimes the meat is not available, but the vegetables are always there. enough!"

The enemy general immediately thought of Song Wen's name as the county magistrate of farming. This vegetable grows fast, and the besieged city may have already been planted.If there is a longer delay, maybe food can be eaten without reinforcements.Thinking of this, he squinted his eyes, his expression became dangerous, and he weighed the pros and cons of attacking the city immediately.

The deputy general also thought of something: "The general should make a decision early! Xiao Lue has been in the city for more than half a month, and the reinforcements from the Dali Dynasty may arrive in another half a month at most. If the Dali Dynasty transfers troops from Guangdong and Guangxi, the reinforcements may arrive in the besieged city in a short time. It’s going to be a tough fight.”

The enemy general fell silent, walked out of the tent, and looked in the direction of the besieged city.As far as the eye can see, they are all the places where their own soldiers and horses are stationed. Occasionally, there are sporadic grains planted on the fields on the mountains, and most of them have become wasteland.

"General?" The deputy general didn't know why.

"The fields outside here are occupied by our soldiers and horses. There are no fields in the besieged city. How do you think the county magistrate of Tian can grow food in the city?"

The enemy general asked, but before the lieutenant could answer, he said to himself, "If it can be planted in the city, wouldn't our mountain land be more able to plant it?!"

The deputy general hesitated: "If it's a trick..."

The enemy general looked at the mountains and wasteland, and suddenly felt proud. Lang smiled and said: "I have fought for so many years, and I have a lot of tricks. Go, let someone write a letter of worship to the besieged city, and I will go to the besieged city alone to see Look at their land. If I can really cultivate the land, I will write to the court and withdraw my troops!"

"Yes!"

The enemy army wanted to shoot directly at the gate of the besieged city, but there was no archery in the army that could match Xiao Lue.What's more, if the defenders of the besieged city thought they were going to war, it would be troublesome.Therefore, the generals of the enemy army carried the greeting card in their arms, rode their horses to the gate of the city, and shouted loudly.

"Call Xiao Lue out!"

"General!" The lieutenant reminded him that his tone was too harsh.

The enemy general was dissatisfied, but he also relaxed his posture, and said to Zhu Hongyi on the city gate: "I have to see the fields planted in your besieged city before I can know whether Xiao Lue is a liar or not!"

He took out the greeting card from his bosom and held it up high, "This is the greeting card."

Zhu Hongyi: "..." The two armies are fighting, sending greeting cards before the battle? !

Well, there are too many strange things in the battle between the two armies this time, and it's not too bad.Immediately ordered the defenders to guard well, and ran to Xiao Lue and Song Wen to tell them that the enemy general asked to come to the besieged city to see the fields that had been planted.

Xiao Lue and Song Wen smiled at each other and came to greet them in person.

But open the city gate, that is impossible.Xiao Lue put down a cloud ladder from the city gate, set it up on the city wall, lowered it along the city gate, crouched on top of the city wall, and waved at the enemy general.

The enemy general said: "You should be careful."

The deputy general hurriedly said: "General Xiao, I am worried that the general will enter the city alone. Let me enter the city with the general."

Xiao slightly frowned and said: "The people and soldiers in the city are all cultivating the land, and each of you generals wants me to come out of my busy schedule to receive them. If you add another one, I will receive one more person. The less food grown in the city, Who will make it up?"

Lieutenant General: "..." I believed your evil!Is there a lack of a person to farm, or is there a lack of an hour to farm? !

"Okay, just a trapped city can't trap me!"

The enemy general dismounted from his horse, climbed up the ladder in two or three strokes, landed on the city wall neatly, and looked up at Xiao Lue who was squatting on the top of the wall.With the position of the two of them, as long as he stretches out his hand, he can tear Xiao Lue off the city wall, and Xiao Lue can kick him off the city wall with just one kick.

There was a moment of silence.

"Whoever takes the head of the enemy general, this general will reward you with a thousand taels!" Zheng Zhengbiao appeared from nowhere, and as soon as he went up the city wall tower, he saw Xiao Lue looking at each other two by two, and he was about to let the enemy The general enters the city, order now!

Xiao Lue glanced at him, and stretched out his hand to pull the enemy general up.The enemy general stood firmly on the ground, patted the dirt on his body, and smiled at Zheng Zhengbiao, mocking him to the fullest.

Anyway, above the city gate, no one listened to him.

Zheng Zhengbiao's face was flushed red, he was a majestic emperor who personally appointed a general, but he couldn't command the small soldiers defending the city, he immediately raised his head and pointed at Xiao Lue, "Xiao Lue, Song Wen, you are so bold that you openly let the enemy generals enter the city, You are handing over the besieged city! I must write the booklet, and I will give you a hard copy."

"Oh." Song Wen didn't even bother to take out the token of the first emperor this time, and he looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of being scalded with so much ginseng.

Xiao Lue didn't pay any attention to his intentions, he waved his hand to signal the enemy general to go down the tower and said, "General, please!"

The enemy general's raised footsteps suddenly paused, and he turned his head to look at Xiao Lue. After a moment of silence, he asked, "General Xiao, do you know who I am?"

Xiao Lue paused visibly, and then looked back motionlessly: "What?"

The enemy generals suddenly understood, this is his mother Xiao Lue!He said with a dark face, "General Xiao, what's my last name?"

Xiao Lue: "..." He asked tentatively, "Reason?"

This principle is the biggest surname in the enemy country.

"Qi!" The enemy general gritted his teeth.

Xiao slightly nodded, and said in a polite manner: "General Qi, this way please!"

Enemy general: How angry!

The two armies fought for seven years, and Xiao Lue became the general of the town army for four years. It can be said that he and Xiao Lue had confronted each other head-to-head for four years. Damn Xiao Lue didn't even know his name!

At this moment, the enemy generals were so anxious that they didn't want to see Xiao Lue at all, so they turned around and greeted the most hated civil servant in his life, Song Wendao: "Master Song, you are famous as the county magistrate for farming. Let Master Song introduce you."

Song Wen raised his hand and clenched his fist into a fist to cover his mouth, covered his mouth with a little cover, coughed lightly and said seriously, "General Qi, please!"

As for Xiao Lue, the enemy general said: Hehe.

Coming down from the city gate, the main city street is directly opposite.As far as the eye can see, both sides of the street are full of reclaimed fields, which are full of green vegetables, crowded together.Occasionally, a few yellow and fluffy little things would shake out from inside. If you look carefully, the little things popped up and swayed out, but they were chicks and ducklings.

Among the vegetables further away, there are swaggering chickens and ducks that have begun to lose their fluff, dangling among the vegetables.

There are still bamboo strips inserted between the ridges in the center of the vegetable field, and many vines are climbing on them, some of which have already bloomed, and they will be able to eat fruits soon.

Looking up, the outer wall of the people's house is covered with large and small square wooden boards, and vegetables are also grown inside. The vegetables look like they grow on the wall, which is very magical.

Even the roof of the house did not fall.Many roofs are made of wood or bamboo to prop up a huge plank like a bed, which is also covered with vegetables.That vegetable should have been planted later, obviously smaller than the ones on both sides of the street, and just sprouted.

This is the method Song Wenxin came up with to plant on the roof.

The original idea was to remove the roof directly to make a modern flat roof.However, the project is too big and the time is too long, not to mention that there is no modern roof waterproofing technology in Dali Dynasty, so it is very troublesome to plant.It would be better to build a new floor directly like this, and use a support to build a layer of planks for filling and planting.

A few days ago, craftsmen in the besieged city designed and built it according to what Song Wen said.What you can see now is the earliest ones that have been completed, and those that have not yet been completed, and have been working on them for the past few days.

The enemy general walked all the way along the main street of the besieged city. It was like walking into some magical field. Vegetables were planted on his head, the walls were also covered with vegetables, and the places under his feet were also planted... There is no such thing as outside the city. The fields, given time, why worry about the lack of food and grass? !

He was so shocked that he didn't say a word all the way, with a serious expression on his face.

But Song Wen said with a smile: "General Qi, the time is too short, there is nothing to see in this city, why not go to the Yamen to have a look. The Yamen in the impoverished city was the first we planted, and we can see the clues there."

Haven't seen it yet?The enemy general looked at Song Wen, with dark lights in his eyes, thinking that if Song Wen was snatched away at this moment, what chance would he have of getting out of the besieged city?

Xiao Lue suddenly inserted between the two of them, facing the enemy general's gaze, motioned forward with a blank expression: "The yamen is over there!"
