Li Xuan, Liu Bagou and a group of people from Huangzhushan did not expect that they would attack Shuilongzhai at all, not only did they not catch a grain of grain, but they also had more than 400 mouths that would run out of food after half a month.

So when Huang Xueren said that Shuilongzhai had no food, but wanted to let Huangzhushan transport grain, Li Xuan was silent.

More than 500 people in Huangzhushan are already short of food, and even if they save more, they will only be able to eat food until one month before the autumn harvest.

According to Huang Xueren, they were not short of food, although there was no world to grow here, but they carried out several successful 'grain harvesting' operations in the first half of this year, not only grabbed enough food for this year, but even had a surplus.

If there is more food, this heart will be wild.

After the failure of the last attack on Huangzhu Mountain, Huang Xueren and other people from Shuilongzhai did not give up easily, but decided to purchase a batch of weapons from outside the mountain, and then go to fight Huangzhu Mountain.

After all, although their Shuilong Village is a secret place, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but there is not much flat land suitable for reclamation, and food cannot be self-sufficient, and Huangzhu Mountain is different, although it is not an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, but the place is also hidden, and it is difficult to find it without anyone to lead the way.

What's more, at the foot of the southern side of Huangzhu Mountain, there is a small plain, and there are small rivers in the plain, which is a rare place suitable for cultivation in this big mountain.

Don't think that bandits don't grow food.

These bandits, who brought a large family of old and weak women and children, were actually ordinary villagers in the past, and they were forced by the landlords and the government to live outside the mountains, and then they fled into the mountains.

In order for so many people to survive, it is not possible to just rob them, and they also need to grow food, but there is a lack of ploughing cattle and farm tools in the mountains, and there are basically no water conservancy facilities, and there is even less fertile land, so the grain output is relatively low.

Therefore, Huangzhushan, a good place that can be cultivated and whose grain output is not low, is what many bandit gangs want.

In order to attack Huangzhushan again, Shuilongzhai took a large amount of grain and ran to Fengjiazhuang to buy iron, especially weapons, but I don't know why, Fengjiazhuang, who had cooperated well with them in the past, suddenly turned his face, and directly came to eat black and swallowed the grain of Shuilongzhai.

What's even more unfortunate is that the heavy rain in half a month washed away the granary of Shuilongzhai, causing most of the remaining reserve grain in Shuilongzhai to disappear in the flood.

What is called a disaster is not a single line, this is it!

The reserve of food is gone, and it happened that the people of Huangzhushan came to attack, and the people of this Shuilongzhai discussed it and found that their resistance was meaningless, because even if they blocked the attack of Huangzhushan, they would have to starve to death because of lack of food in half a month.

So just grit your teeth and surrender to Cheng.

In their hearts, Huangzhu Mountain is a fertile land, and there must be a lot of grain output, and the group of bandits led by Fang Dongquan can also be regarded as famous in this mountain, and there must be a lot of stored grain or something.

It's just that Huang Xueren couldn't have imagined that Fang Dongquan had a hot head, and he and Liu Bagou played with Liu Bagou to support the young master and dream of being a founding hero.

As a result, the officers and soldiers destroyed his old nest on the edge of the mountain, forcing everyone in Huangzhushan to flee back to Huangzhushan in embarrassment, without even bringing much food.

Although the grain output on the side of Huangzhu Mountain is good, the previous planting area was too small to meet the needs of more than 500 people.

In this way, Huang Xueren was dumbfounded!

These are all surrendered, and Huangzhushan has no food to help them, what should they do? How to survive this autumn and winter?

Not only Huang Xueren was depressed, but Li Xuan and Liu Bagou were also frowning.

This time I came to Huangzhushan, but I didn't get the food, but there were more than 400 mouths, what should I do in the future!

After everyone was silent for a long time, Li Xuan spoke: "Go back to Huangzhu Mountain first, and then find a way to solve the grain matter!" ”

Now for a while, Li Xuan can't think of any way to solve the food problem, so he doesn't plan to continue to stay in this Water Dragon Village.

Most of the others didn't have any good options, so they could only start packing up their things and preparing to return to Huangzhushan with a sad face.

However, this time when they returned to Huangzhu Mountain, in addition to the more than 100 people in Huangzhu Mountain, more than 400 people from Shuilong Village also packed up all their belongings and returned to Huangzhu Mountain together.

The addition of these people from Shuilongzhai to Huangzhushan also made the subjects under the rule of the Tang Dynasty break through the 1,000-person mark.

Although the place of Water Dragon Village is secret, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but there is no field or other unobtainable things, so since the people of Water Dragon Village have been recovered, it is naturally impossible for them to continue to stay here, and they will all be brought back to Huangzhu Mountain.

At least, the small plains on the other side of Huangzhu Mountain can allow them to cultivate the wasteland, and after this time, they will be able to have a good harvest next year.

The only problem is that there is not enough food this year.

When they first set out from Huangzhu Mountain, many bandits in Huangzhu Mountain were not elated, but they also had some hope for the future.

But when I went back, although there were more people who had changed, most of them did not have the joy of returning successfully.

Three days later, Li Xuan and others successfully returned to Huangzhu Mountain, and when Qian Mengjiu saw Li Xuan return with many people and horses, and also saw more than 400 people in Shuilongzhai, he was quite happy at first, and Li Xuan and they gained a lot later, but when he learned that he did not bring back a grain of grain, but brought back more than 400 mouths, he also became the same as Liu Bagou and them, and he had a sad face all day long.

After settling down a group of people from Shuilong Village, it was already two days later.

At this time, the high-level cadres of the Tang Dynasty organized people to open up the wasteland and plant more grain, but because the sowing time of late rice has passed, now they can only plant winter wheat and some miscellaneous grains and vegetables.

But no matter what you plant, you have to plant, and you can't wait for next spring to come!

In addition to cultivating wasteland, Liu Bagou and they also thought of many ways to obtain food, such as organizing people to hunt and fish, pick wild fruits and vegetables.

Hunting here is not very reliable, although there are not a few wild animals in the mountains, but the jungle is a technical job, except for a few professional hunters accidents, others can only look at the prey dry staring, so the prey obtained is not much.

Although there are also wild fruits and wild vegetables, these can only be eaten as vegetables after all, and it is impossible to eat enough every day by relying on this.

Fishing was quite fruitful, they fished every day on the small plain on the small river a few meters wide, and the yield was good at first, but no matter how many fish there were in the small river, it could not fill the stomachs of a thousand people.

Therefore, whether it is hunting or fishing, these cannot really solve the food crisis in Huangzhushan.

The only way to solve the food crisis is to get food from other sources, and it has to be in large quantities.

And at this time, Huang Xueren, the second head of the original Shuilongzhai who had just surrendered to Chengcheng, and now the general of Zhennan of the Tang Dynasty, put forward a plan.

His plan was crude and simple: to rob Fengjiazhuang!
