"Jiang Er, I know this person. He and Jiang Xu are indeed not a family..." Ma Chao frowned.

Zhang Fei smiled and patted Jiang Wei on the shoulder: "Don't be frowning, I just say that Meng Qi is a person with clear grudges."

"Three Generals, you are..."

Since Ma Chao entered Sichuan, he has worked with Zhang Fei for the longest time. It is the first time he has seen Zhang Fei so enthusiastic about his subordinates.

"Meng Qi didn't know anything. Jiang Boyue was recommended by Ziyu to me, saying that his ability was comparable to Deng Shizai, so I took Boyue to meet Shizai." Zhang Fei explained with a smile.

When Ma Chao heard that it was Lan Tian’s recommendation, he immediately looked at Jiang Wei again, then nodded and affirmed: "General Lan's eyes are like a torch, and his skills are unparalleled in the world. Bo Yue and Deng Shizai's luck are no less than that."

There are often horses with thousands of miles of horses, but not Bole. Lantian is the one who is recommended, and all the talents are shining. Jiang Wei is so young and has few of them are attracted to, so Ma Chao feels this way.

Jiang Wei didn't know what Ma Chao meant, but he was more interested in Deng Ai. Whether in Zitong or Hanzhong, Deng Ai was in a low-key manner based on Lantian's guidance, so the outside world knew very little about him.

Although Jiang Wei had been in Wudu for a short time, Lantian's name recurred in his ears, which was enough to show that this person had a huge influence under Liu Bei's command. It is a pity that the senior officials in Luoyang have not yet taken attention to Lantian.

Because it was recommended by Lan Tian, ​​Ma Chao's attitude towards Jiang Wei also changed. Although he did not show any particular closeness, he was not indifferent or hostile.

Zhang Fei and Jiang Wei rested in Yangping Pass for half a day, then set off for Mianyang County where Deng Ai's farmland was only a few dozen miles away from Yangping Pass. Because Ma Chao had no military affairs in the pass, he suggested leading the way with the two.

"Meng Qi, does it really have no effect on your resignation?" Zhang Fei joked.

Ma Chao responded with a smile: "The king asked the last general to station in Yangping Pass, with the purpose of being in the middle to support Wudu and Hanzhong, and prevent Cao's army from attacking a large-scale place. Now Yide and General Wei are not in a hurry, so I am at Yangping Pass."

"Okay, I have been busy harassing Liangzhou for the past two years and have no time to see that little guy Deng Ai, and I don't know how he is doing in Mianyang..." Zhang Fei frowned.

Ma Chao replied: "The third general went to see it and knew, how could General Lan's disciples disappoint you? Yangpingguan and Nanzheng's supplies were basically from Mianyang, and Deng Shizai had already obtained the essence of General Lan's military farming."

"Oh? Then I want to see and see." Zhang Fei was attracted by interest and drove the horse eastward first, with Ma Chao and Jiang Wei following closely behind.

A few hours later, the group arrived near Mianyang. It was March's spring plowing, and busy figures could be seen everywhere in the fertile farmland on both sides of the Han River.

Jiang Wei found that no one paid attention to them, and was all composting, turning over the soil, and the golden sunlight shone on the faces of farmers, outlining a picture of happy spring plowing.

"These farmlands are so neat... and why are these people not afraid..." Jiang Wei was very puzzled.

Zhang Fei explained: "The rules of the banmo method facilitates the division and management of military farming areas. It was created by Ziyu when he was in Xinye. Deng Shizai also learned well. As for the people in the military farming area, most of them have been trained during the slack farming period. If they really encounter foreign invasion, they will throw their hoes and throw themselves into the battle."

"Is it possible that the military farming method with both offense and defense was also created by General Lan?" Jiang Wei was shocked.

"Of course, I remember that Gao Boping came out to train in Xinye when he was trained by Gao Boping himself." Seeing everything in front of him, Zhang Fei suddenly remembered the scene twenty years ago. This place is very similar to the spring farming in Xinye.

Gao Shun played fewer appearances after falling into Xia Pi, but two years ago, he defeated Cao Cao many times with Guan Yu, which once again made the reputation of the camp resound throughout the world.

Although the army returned to Jiaozhou after the war, it was always feared by the rulers and ministers of the Wei State. Cao Xiu, the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, knew the power of the heavy army, so he suggested to Cao Pi that the Wei State should also build heavy infantry.

Although Cao Cao left the country of Jiuzhou for Cao Pi, he realized that it was not easy for one party to be the leader after Cao Pi was in charge. The tiger and leopard cavalry expanded in the later period of Cao Cao, and the heavy cavalry had reduced their armor and saved money, and they had no spare money to form a heavy infantry.

Although the gentry in Henan had a lot of wealth, Cao Pi abides by Cao Cao's instructions during his lifetime and made military power in the hands of the Cao family. After Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor, he promoted Cao Hong to General of Cavalry, ordered Cao Hong to guard Yecheng and supervise armor, hoping that Cao Hong could pay for the formation of a trapped army for the Wei State out of his own pocket, just like Cao Chun formed the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

Ma Chao pointed to the distance and sighed: "After another two months the seedlings rise, the two sides of the Han River will be green and golden again when harvested in August. The scene is really unforgettable."

Large-scale and standardized planting will only appear in the military farm area. If you look down from the sky from the sky, the crops will be like military formations, and the "thousands of troops" stand neatly in the field, and anyone who sees that scene will be shocked.

"Listen to Meng Qi, you seem to come to Mianyang often?" Zhang Fei suddenly frowned.

"Well, Yangping Pass is very close to Mianyang. When I am not busy with military affairs, I like to come to Deng Shizai to talk to you." Ma Chao replied with a smile.

"Ahem, are you here to help with autumn harvest?" Zhang Fei asked.

"Uh... Deng Shizai has more garrisons here than my Yangping Pass. There is no need to send someone to help, right?" Ma Chao was confused when he heard this.

Zhang Fei refused to comment and continued to ask: "Since Meng Qi comes often, will Deng Shizai keep you in the harvest banquet?"

Ma Chao nodded gently, "I remember it seemed that there was one time when each village slaughtered chickens and sheep. The scene was even more lively than the New Year. Although the villagers' meals were simple, the taste was really good."

"You can only blame you for not helping, otherwise Deng Shizai would have to stay a few more times." Zhang Fei thought to himself, you are still thin-skinned. If I were close to the water tower, I would live on the 'moon'.

"Hmm?" Ma Chao didn't know what Zhang Fei wanted to say, so he had to agree with a smile, and Jiang Wei was even more confused.

"Since Meng Qi often comes to Mianyang, can you tell where Deng Shizai is?" Zhang Fei raised his hand and looked into the distance, not knowing where to look for Deng Ai.

During the spring plowing season, Deng Aido was mostly in the fields and would not hide alone in the county town like ordinary officials.

Deng Ai has been influenced by the eyes since childhood and learned to get close to the land like Lantian. The joy of harvest can bring unparalleled happiness.

Ma Chao replied with a smile: "Three Generals, our tall and big horses are very eye-catching. Let's wait here first, and someone will lead us there later."

Zhang Fei felt a little upset in his heart, thinking that he had underestimated Ma Chao. He was afraid that this person would be the leader of Mianyang Treasury District? Otherwise, why would there be someone to lead the way?

"But these people are simply..." Jiang Wei didn't finish his words, meaning that the farmer couldn't finish his work, so where can he have time to greet us?

Ma Chao did not continue to explain to Jiang Wei, and everyone was walking aimlessly among the fields.

About half an hour, there was a fast horse in the southeast direction, running towards them. Seeing this, Ma Chao's mouth slightly raised.
