Chapter 3 Divides Grain for the Winter
On the night of February 2, the Liu clansmen who had just celebrated the completion ceremony of the dock fort were awakened by the shouts in the darkness before they fell asleep. The year is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info kill! ā
As time passed, the surrounding ghost fires gathered more and more, and the shouts became louder and louder. When the day was about to dawn, a group of peasants with torches appeared under the wall of the dock fort, and hundreds of Liu clansmen were fully armed and strictly guarded on the wall of the dock fort, and the mulberry bow in their hands was aimed at the peasants gathered together under the city.
There is no yellow turban thief's iconic yellow turban touching forehead, just simple farmers, want to shoot them all? Liu Bei looked at the farmer in front of him and was a little overwhelmed, if it was Taiping Dao or bandits, Liu Bei might be less entangled.
"Fellow Liu's Dock Fort has 10,000 stones of good corn in it, and you don't have to starve this winter when you capture Liu's Dock Fort!"
A thinly dressed man shouted with a wooden stick in his hand.
Wanshi grain, a stone of grain with some wild vegetables can also make a family of four barely eat for a month (in the case of starvation), how many years does Wanshi have to eat? The invasion of Xianbei Nu made the peasants of Youhe and the two states even the last bit of surplus grain also robbed, and the farmers who originally just wanted to come to Liu's Dock Fort to find a way to survive this winter heard that there were ten thousand stones of grain in Liu's Dock Fort, and their eyes immediately turned red, waving the wooden sticks, hoes and other things in their hands and shouting: "Break the dock fort and divide the grain for the winter."
"Brother Hu, do you want to release arrows?"
Liu Zhong looked at the dense crowd of people under the wall of the dock fort, and was so frightened by the crowd of people who shouted in unison that he trembled all over, and even his voice trembled a little.
The endless sea of people seems to merge with the night, as if a fierce beast that chooses people to devour is staring at Liu's Dock Fort, as long as there is a trace of flaw, it will not hesitate to pounce on it and tear Liu's Dock Fort to pieces.
"Wait!"
In the cold winter, the water vapor condensed into frost, and the beads of sweat on Liu Bei's forehead flowed down one after another, and the great grandfather watched the people Wang Yang defeat the bald planes, cannons and tanks, at this moment, the people's Wang Yang led by the great sage and good teacher still can't clean up the farmers who only have four or five hundred mulberry bows? For the first time, Liu Bei lost faith in his suppression of the peasant uprising.
"Break the dock fort and divide the grain for the winter."
The shouting lasted for a quarter of an hour before it slowly stopped, and a big man with a yellow scarf on his forehead rode a donkey under the torch under some young and strong clusters, and Liu Bei, who looked at the wall, roared: "Is Liu Tingchang Long?" A certain is Zhu Lei Gong is also! Today, I came to disturb the right and wrong wishes, but you folks can't live, and I also ask Liu Tingchang to give a bite of food for the sake of the same neighbors, and we will leave Liu's Wubao immediately after we are full. ā
Someone finally broke the silence, and Liu Bei was relieved from the panic of the people, and quietly said to Liu Zhiran beside him: "Aim at the person in the lead, watch my gesture to kill him."
"Yes."
Liu Zhiran was stunned for a moment, and then responded, since the Xianbei slave left, Liu Bei used military training to train the Liu clan, and the execution of the Liu clan has made great progress.
"Zhu Qushuai, ask the great sage and good teacher on behalf of him! I would like to agree to your proposal, but there is really not so much food in Beibei, not to mention that there are so many old and young women and children in the fort who open their mouths to eat? ā
Zhu Leigong opened his mouth to define Liu Bei as bullying the township officials, and Liu Bei also defined him as Taipingdao. The great sage and good teacher are the spiritual pillars of the high, and the help to the people of Zhuo County is only medicine, but Liu Bei has recruited a lot of young people to work nearby, and the wages distributed really let the people of Zhuo County live a good life for a few days.
Some of the township leaders in the city who were accepted by Liu Beixin also called friends one after another: "Grandpa, Ah Hu sends us ten buckets of grain every day, and there are more than 1,000 villagers who work every day, so there is so much surplus food!" Don't listen to the rumors! ā
"Demon Dao Xiu wants to confuse the public, obviously you want to avenge Liu Yan, and you have the courage to come by yourself! Why do you want to encourage the villagers to come and die? ā
"Uncle Nine, Ah Hu has the strength to kill hundreds of Xianbei slaves in one night, are you more powerful than Xianbei slaves when you become a person in our village?"
āā¦ā¦ā
The leaders of the villages on the city wall really did not disappoint Liu Bei, and they persuaded the people of their own village with nonsense. As early as when accepting the young and strong people from other villages to build the Wubao Fort, Liu Bei often gathered influential people from various villages together, one to facilitate the management of the fort builders, and the other to exert his influence when the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out, so that his Wubao could reduce the pressure of some peasant troops.
The persuasion of the younger generation really played a great role, and the peasant uncles, who were already short-sighted and soft-eared, began to talk one after another, and Zhu Lei Gong saw that the people's hearts that he had finally gathered were disintegrated by Liu Bei's words, and shouted: "Don't believe Liu Ahu's nonsense, there are more than a dozen truckloads of corn transported here from all over the country every day in the past two or three months, how can there be no food in Wubao?"
A white-haired old man said, "But the next generation takes back ten buckets of corn every day?"
"Uncle, you were deceived by Liu Ahu!"
Compared with Zhu Leigong, who joined Taiping Dao, Uncle obviously believes in his nephew more.
Zhu Leigong regretted a little why he didn't attack the city in one breath just now, why did he want to recruit Liu Bei? It was useless to regret it, and Zhu Leigong said ruthlessly: "Uncle, let's go out for a day!" If you don't get food tomorrow, someone will starve to death! Compared with the tall city walls of Zhuocheng, is the Liu's Dock Fort in front of you easier to attack? ā
Uncle opened his mouth but didn't say anything, tens of thousands of people are waiting to open their mouths to eat? He can't help but be kind.
Zhu Lei Gong saw that Uncle was moving closer to him again, not only did he show a smug smile on his face, but the wooden stick in his hand was raised high and he was about to shout: "Siege the city." A sharp arrow pierced the night sky and plunged straight into Zhu Leigong's throat.
Belch! Zhu Leigong fell from the donkey with his bloody throat, and the big man next to Zhu Leigong was also taken care of by the Liu clan.
"Qu Shuai was shot by Liu Ahu! Avenge Qu Shuai! ā
The Taiping Dao believers who had woken up from the miserable sight of the people around Zhu Leigong being shot into a sieve shouted, and several bamboo arrows were shot down from the wall and stuck in him, and even several people around him were also affected by the pond fish.
Although the Liu clan on the wall had been specially ordered by Liu Bei to shoot and kill the agitators, there were still fish that slipped through the net, and the dense crowd finally surged towards the Wubao under the stimulation of blood.
Liu Bei's big hands in his long sleeves were tightly clasped together, and he said loudly: "Shoot indiscriminately and quickly and continuously."
Bamboo arrows fell like rain on the wall of the dock fort, and the farmers who were numb in their eyes and just wanted a full meal approached the dock fort wall fearlessly.
The continuous rain of arrows made the Liu clan exhausted, and most of the Taiping Dao believers who took the lead were killed and injured, I don't know who was the first to go crazy and turned around and fled, and the farmers turned around and disappeared into the night sky in front of the rain of arrows.
Liu Bei finally won the first victory to suppress the peasant uprising with the help of endless bamboo arrows and rough preparations in advance.
