"This must not happen!"

As soon as Chen Xu opened his mouth to agree, a handsome man spoke out against it.

When the rest of the people heard this, they also looked at the person who spoke in surprise.

After listening to the young man's words, they all felt that this method was feasible, but they didn't know why this little handsome man spoke out against it.

Chen Xu didn't feel angry because someone under him refuted his words.

He just smiled slightly, and asked the little handsome: "Since you have spoken out against it, you must have some thoughts in your heart, you might as well say it and let us all hear it." ”

This little marshal felt everyone's gaze, and he was not stage frightened, and said directly: "Qu Shuai did this, although he was able to get the love of the people, but he did not help them, but harmed them." ”

When everyone heard this, they were even more surprised. Giving them food and grass will actually harm them, it's really ridiculous!

As if he knew the doubts in everyone's hearts, this person did not take it seriously, and talked eloquently: "Although officers and soldiers are not bandits, sometimes they are more rampant than bandits. ”

"If we give all the grain and grass that we can't take away to the people, the officers and soldiers will definitely collect these things again. If this is the case, it will not be a big problem, but I am afraid that the officers and soldiers will suffer such a great defeat, and I will be angry in my heart, and I will trouble the people who have received our gifts. ”

"If these people are charged with fornicating with yellow scarves by the officers and soldiers, wouldn't what we do harm these people?"

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized.

Chen Xu also woke up suddenly, got up and waved to this little handsome man, and said: "If it weren't for your reminder, I'm afraid I would miss a big event!" ”

Xiao Shuai saw Chen Xu saluting him, and hurriedly got up to return the salute, and said, "Don't dare to be such a big gift." ”

"If I hadn't seen the officers and soldiers corrupting the people into thieves in Qiu County, I would never have thought of this."

Hearing Xiao Shuai's words, Chen Xu suddenly realized.

He once vaguely heard that the officers and soldiers led by Dong Zhuo often abducted women and robbed the people. But if anyone resists, they will have their heads cut off, and they will be accused of fornicating with yellow turbans.

The Yellow Turban Army once occupied Qiu County, and there were many poor families who had received their favors, and if the officers and soldiers insisted on slandering, the people were also dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, and they couldn't tell if they had bitterness.

Thinking of this, everyone fell silent again.

After a long time, another person said: "In this way, it is better to burn all these things with a fire, so as not to cheapen the officers and soldiers again." ”

The rest of the people also echoed it.

Since they know that giving things to the people will not only not help them, but will cause them trouble, these people are naturally unwilling to act in this way.

Chen Xu thought for a long time, suddenly smiled mysteriously, and said: "I have a plan, which can not only let the people get these grain and grass burdens, but also not let them get into trouble." ”

Everyone asked what the plan was, but Chen Xu said: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed. ”

On this day, the people near Jingxian County were panicked. The Yellow Turban Army walked around and arrested all the three elders from the nearby township.

The three elders in the township are Youzhi, Sifu, and You, and most of them are local elders with high moral integrity.

The Yellow Turban Army, which has never disturbed the people, actually did this kind of thing, which made all the people in the township uneasy. The three elders were highly respected, and many people had received their favors, and when they heard the news, they were furious.

said that after the three elders in the township were arrested, Chen Xu talked to them alone, and then they each wrote a letter to the township center.

No one knew what was written in the letter, but after the third elder's henchman received the letter, a smile suddenly appeared on his originally bitter face.

In the afternoon of the same day, Chen Xu only left a few dozen people in the camp, but he led everyone to leave the village.

In the evening, the henchmen of the three elders led the people of the village to attack the Yellow Turban military camp.

The dozens of Yellow Turban troops who defended the camp shouted and all abandoned the village and fled in all directions. The people took advantage of the situation to seize the camp, rescued the three elders, and seized countless grains and grasses.

Then, naturally, the people happily brought these things home.

Chen Xu took a small team of people and horses, watched the people from a distance, and moved all the things in the camp, with a smile on his face.

Wu Ling stood aside, glanced at Chen Xu secretly, and asked with some uncertainty: "Qu Shuai, we acted in such a scene, and people who understand it can see the trickiness at a glance, does it really work?" ”

Chen Xu had a smile on his face, he turned around and patted Wu Ling's shoulder, and said, "Ah Ling, you only know one and don't know the other. ”

"If this matter spreads, others will say that the county soldiers of Anping Kingdom were beaten to the ground by the Yellow Turban Army, and even some ordinary people are inferior."

"Although anyone with a discerning eye can see that we are making a show, the court will not see it that way. If they really knew about this matter, it would only make them feel that the county soldiers were corrupt and cowardly. ”

Therefore, the officials of Anping Kingdom will definitely try their best to hide this matter. And the best way to hide it is to deliberately ignore it. ”

"The officers and soldiers do not go to the trouble of the people, and the people get benefits, so naturally they will not make a noise. In this way, the matter will not get out. ”

Wu Ling lowered his head and chewed on Chen Xu's words carefully. It took him a while before he figured out the cause and effect of the matter.

The Yellow Turban Army gave things to the people in this way, and if the officers and soldiers wanted to snatch them again, the people would definitely not agree. Because, this is what they themselves 'wrested' from the Yellow Turbans.

The people did not openly fornicate with the yellow scarves, and the officers and soldiers could not arbitrarily place charges. Otherwise, if the matter spreads, it will not be of any benefit to the officers and soldiers of Anpingguo.

After all, these people are not like the people who were slandered as thieves by Dong Zhuo at the beginning, they have really received the favor of the Yellow Turban Army.

Even if the matter is big, if Dong Zhuobu insists that the people have fornicated with the yellow scarf, those people will have a hard time arguing.

Thinking of this, Wu Ling looked at his own Qu Shuai's eyes, and became even more eager.

Chen Xu hugged Wu Ling's shoulders and said affectionately: "Ah Ling, you saved my life on the battlefield. And you yourself have repeatedly made military exploits, I want to keep you by my side and teach you well. ”

"In the future, when the army discusses major matters, you can listen to them together. After you learn a little more knowledge, I can arrange a future for you. ”

Being hugged by Qu Shuai's shoulders, and hearing such words, Wu Ling suddenly felt a little enthusiastic.

He knelt on one knee and said excitedly: "I am willing to die for Qu Shuai!" ”

Chen Xu helped him up and said, "Don't be so polite in the future." ”

In a small village near Jing County, the family received the food they got back from the Yellow Turban Barracks, and several members of the family had smiles on their faces.

"the kid, put more rice and less water in the porridge today, so that the children can eat happily."

"Okay!" The woman replied happily, and then began to cook food.

An older child was lighting a fire next to the stove, and he kept adding firewood to the pot. As time passed, streams of tantalizing rice aromas came from the pot.

The younger child was already hungry. He lay on the stove, which was only half a head shorter than him, and the corners of his mouth kept flowing with saliva.

The family has not had a full meal for a long time because they don't have much food at home.

In order to be able to last longer, they tend to put only a little rice in the pot and mix it with a large pot of water.

Each family of four drank a few bowls of crystal clear gruel, and although they could not feel hungry for a while, it would not be long before they would still become hungry.

Having a full stomach is already a very distant thing for them.

The aroma of the rice is getting stronger and stronger, and the water in the pot has been boiled a few times. Because there is a lot of wind outside, the smoke in this kitchen cannot be completely discharged to the outside.

The choking smoke and the aroma of rice are mixed together, which has a unique flavor.

"Alright, alright, don't add any more wood under the pot."

The woman lifted the lid of the pot, stirred it twice with a spoon, and saw that the rice in the pot was completely boiled, so she said to the young man who was burning the fire.

When the young man heard this, he just took the tongs, took out the ashes accumulated under the pot, and then fanned them several times.

The air entered the bottom of the pot, and the firewood, which had not yet been burned, ignited a larger flame.

It didn't take long for all the firewood at the bottom of the pot to be burned.

The young man used his feet to trample out the sparks that jumped outside, and then put all the firewood into the firewood warehouse, and then got up and looked at the rice porridge in the pot.

The woman looked at the two children with a smile on her face. She took out two porcelain bowls with missing horns and spooned them into a large bowl of thick porridge.

The children hadn't eaten such thick porridge for a long time, and they were holding the bowls with happy smiles on their faces.

The child who had just started the fire was only seven or eight years old. While blowing on the porridge in the bowl, he said: "You can get food by beating yellow scarves, and I will go to fight yellow scarves when I grow up." ”

But he didn't want to, but when the man heard his son's words, he snatched the bowl from his hand, picked up the child who was talking, and slapped him hard on the ass with his hand.

"If it weren't for the Yellow Turban Army's alms, how could our family get food? You don't even know who your benefactor is now, and you said that when you grow up, you will fight the Yellow Turban Army, and see if I don't kill you! ”

"Woo!"

After being beaten and scolded by his father, the child realized that he had said something wrong, so he quickly changed his words and said: "When I grow up, I will go to the Yellow Turban Army and distribute food to the poor." ”

When the man heard his son say such a rebellious thing, he didn't say anything.

He let go of his son and secretly thought in his heart: "If you really can't live in the future, taking your family to the Yellow Turban is also a way out, right?" ”
