defeated the Montenegrin army twice, and Yan Bei had as many knives as he had in his hands. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

These farm tools were distributed to the newly recruited soldiers, who were assigned to harvest wheat fields near the river bank after the construction of Hengshui Beizhai in Yanbei...... But everything that could be seen from the head of Lunu City on the other side of the river, Yanbei didn't let him see a little wheat.

Wheat fields and corn fields are planted on dozens of hectares of land, and all the ripe but unripe grains are the target of Yanbeixia.

Indifferently, there is not much grain that can be harvested in the field, not because it is not ripe, but because it has been eaten a lot. This year, the fields in Jizhou have not risen well, and they have been trampled on a lot of damage by the military rebellion, and then they must have been eaten by the hungry people, and there is not one in ten of the grain that can really grow.

But even so, Yanbei didn't plan to leave the food to the Black Mountain Army, he didn't just want Tao Sheng on the bank of the river.

He needs food, even if it's not ripe.

Yanbei will never waste food, and people who have never been poor or hungry often do not know the preciousness of food. But once you go hungry, you have to live without a meal for a long time...... No matter how rich his life was later on, he rarely wasted food.

He was hungry and scared.

And now, there are more hungry people in Wangdu City.

Yanbei has been stationed in Wangdu for less than ten days, and the hungry and homeless people in Township have been counted by 6,000, and hundreds of children have been starved and skinny with bulging bellies, and their bodies are like evil ghosts that were asked to be disguised by witches during the sacrifice of the Gongsun clan temple when they were young.

In the wilderness of Zhongshan Kingdom, they would also find only half of their bodies gnawed by wild dogs on the side of the road on the way to the road, or hang their already rotting corpses on trees.

It's too easy for people to die these days, but it's too hard to survive.

The county government has no food, the people have no food, and even the granaries of the big families in the township have been plundered by the Montenegrin army for half a year, and no one can afford to feed these hungry and displaced people. Even after the new grain is harvested, no one will feed the people.

Because I don't dare.

The changes of hungry and anxious homeless people and hungry people to bandits and rogues are only in an instant, and no township can raise them for a day, not to mention that half of the people in Zhongshan Country are now counting on this bit of food in the field to save their lives, who will share the life-saving food with others?

There is only Yanbei, and only Yanbei is the only one in the entire Zhongshan country who holds the grain, and he has military rations.

I don't know where the news came from, the hungry people were eyeing the military rations transported from Puyin to Wangdu, and thousands of hungry people along the way were afraid of the spears and leather armor escorting the soldiers and horses, but they could only follow from a distance, followed all the way to Wangdu, and gathered outside the city.

"General, do you really want to distribute military rations to the homeless?" Lu Yi shouted at the head of the city with his throat, raised his hand and pointed to the hungry people under the city, and said with red eyes: "Give them the food to eat, what do we eat!" ”

Yan Bei held on to the battlements expressionlessly, and also watched the people under the city silent.

"From Puyin to Wangdu, there is a loss in transporting grain and herbs for 300 miles back and forth, and if we feed nearly 10,000 people in Wuyang, our military food will not be enough to eat in the blink of an eye, and how can the soldiers fight when they are interrupted?" Lu Yi pointed to the city and said disdainfully: "The general gave them life, one day or two days is okay, three days and five days they will rely on us and others, if one day we have no food and grass, general, believe it or not, the soldiers have not bombed the camp, they will attack the city first to grab food!" ”

"I believe it." Yan Bei turned his head and said softly to Lu Yi: "What I mean, the grain is given to the soldiers, and the soldiers can fight." Food is given to the hungry as if it were thrown away. I mean, but what do you want Yan to do? Send troops outside and drive them away, and kill them if they can't get rid of them? ”

"I, I don't know." He felt that he could not give food to the hungry people, but he did not think that it was right to kill these people, "But the general must not cause even greater disasters in the future due to the kindness of women!" ”

Ironically, whether it is Yanbei or Lu Yi, their hands are covered with blood, which is not good. They leaped on their horses and carried their swords, and even ordered their enemies to be hanged with bowstrings and their heads pierced on spears. But thousands of hungry people knelt outside the city, shouting for help and kowtowing, but they were speechless.

"If you can find a way to save one, you will save one." Yan Bei took a deep breath, he couldn't turn his cheeks away under the prays of others, but he also couldn't ignore his subordinates, and said: "I have discussed with the big families who have fields in Linhengshui, and the cut grain can give us half, and these grains can give them life, but they can't be given in vain...... Anything that comes lightly becomes what others deserve! ”

Yanbei is reluctant to give anything easily, and people get along like this. Giving generously is sometimes a good deed, but a good deed does not necessarily earn others gratitude. If he gives these hungry people food for nothing today, tomorrow they will blame Yanbei for not giving them food, and the day after tomorrow they will enter the city to rob them of the food that 'is' them.

When Lu Yi heard Yan Bei say this, he finally eased his face, bowed down and bowed: "The general is benevolent and righteous, it is better to ...... Let's put them together. ”

"Oh?" Yan Bei looked at Lu Yi, and pointed to the hungry people kneeling under the city with disdain, the army composed of such people is not as good as Montenegro, and they can't even eat enough, what combat power can they have? Yanbei said: "What do you think? ”

"Six thousand people will be selected to be young and strong, and each household will give one ding." Lu Yi said, with a little unbearable look on his face and said: "It is natural for the general to raise his troops, raise them for a few days, distribute spears and let them cross the river, kill the scouts who are wandering outside the Black Mountain with their abilities, exchange food with their heads, and feed their families!" ”

Yan Bei's eyes widened, Lu Yi's words really shocked him. How many of these 6,000 people can be young and strong, and 1,500 people are considered to be many, and more are old and weak. Lu Yi means to raise more than 1,000 people, feed them for a few days to cross the river to kill people, and feed the remaining 4,000 people with their heads.

How many people are going to die in the process?

Just by virtue of their virtues, how many people can kill a Montenegrin scout?

But Yan Bei did not refuse, and even his inner reason recognized Lu Yi's idea. To feed more than 1,000 people, the consumption of grain and grass is not large, even if the grain harvested by the river bank is enough...... It's just that some can't bear it, which is tantamount to taking other people's lives as child's play.

"Just do as you say, send someone to let the displaced people outside the city raise a few respectable people into the city, and I will talk to them." Yan Bei paused before saying, "I can feed more than a thousand people, and let them exchange the heads of the Black Mountain Army for food for the small ones who lived...... If they die, I will leave half a month's ration for their families and let them defect to Liaodong. ”

"The Lord is righteous and righteous." It was rare for Lu Yi to praise Yanbei for his benevolence and righteousness twice in a day, so he got up and saluted: "My subordinates will go down to the city and let them tell them that they can elect the leader." ”

As soon as the words fell, he walked quickly down the city.

Yan Bei looked at it and smiled secretly in his heart, Lu Yi looked iron-blooded and ruthless, but didn't he have a little pity in his heart?

No, Yanbei saw Lu Yi's mercy, and he was in the footsteps of walking quickly down the city.

Yan Bei held the head of the city and watched Lu Yi go out of the city gate, surrounded by soldiers, and read out Yan Bei's thoughts aloud to the kneeling hungry people, asking them to elect the chief elder who could be the master, and then there was a riot outside the city.

Even if it is a hundred steps away, Yanbei can also sense the joy of the hungry people outside the city, as long as Yanbei is willing to give them food at this moment, no matter what they are asked to do, they are willing...... Changing places, if Yan Dong is hungry, killing people with a knife is incomparable in Yan Bei's eyes.

Because that's exactly what he did!

After a short time, Lu Yi re-entered the city and followed a ragged young man to the top of the city.

The young man had an old wound on his face, and when he climbed to the top of the city, he bowed down and bowed, Yan Beiqi said: "Who are you, how can you be promoted as the leader by the homeless people at such a young age?" ”

"General Hui Yan, who is scorched under the touch, has rough martial arts, so he is cited by the people."

Jiao didn't dare to raise his head after bowing, but replied respectfully to Yan Bei's words. He was very excited in his heart, if General Yan, who led the army to defeat the Black Mountain bandits, was willing to distribute food to them, people would not starve to death...... If they continue to starve, hundreds or thousands of people will starve to death in three days at most, and no one will be able to restrain them.

Even if the big families who control the fields have soldiers to protect the fields, what can they do if they kill people and steal food at that time?

"I can give you food, but I want you to fight for me, cross the river and fight the Montenegrin army...... Can you do the Lord? Yan Bei asked, and after getting Jiao Touch, he said: "Get up and speak, you don't need to bow down for me." There are thousands of you, and I can't afford to raise them. I can only choose a thousand, fifteen, no, eighteen hundred people into a trilogy. I will give them daily rations. ”

"This, general, don't you care about anyone else except these 1,800 people?" Jiao Fu's eyes widened in disbelief, and the detective wanted to step forward but was stopped by Yanbei's soldiers, so he had to respectfully plead: "General, you are the only one in Jizhou who can save them, if you recruit soldiers to fight for you, the rest of the people are their families!" ”

Lu Yi angrily reprimanded, was stopped by Yan Bei raised his hand, took two steps forward and got closer to this young man named Jiao Touch, sighed and said: "You have followed my grain cart all the way, you know how much grain I have, this grain is only enough for my subordinates to eat for ten years, if the grain is distributed to these 6,000 people, my people will run out of food after five days, and they will not be chaotic for a while and a half, but in one day or two, they will not be able to defeat the Montenegrin army." ”

"Yan doesn't have many soldiers, but he wants to crusade against the black mountain thieves in the entire Jizhou, do you understand Yan's hardship?" Yan Bei said, and he didn't intend to let this hungry leader understand, but continued: "There is no way to kill people, and Yan will not kill people." After the army is formed, you will cross the river and kill Montenegro, one head, in exchange for two people's rations...... As long as you can kill someone, your family will be alive. If they die on the other side of the river, their families can go to Liaodong to reclaim wasteland. ”

"There's only so much Yan can do...... That's all you have to say, and you'll do it yourself. ”
