The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 16 The Yellow Turban of Montenegro

While Lin Chao was setting up camp outside and waiting slowly, the soldiers at the gate of the village had already passed the arrow shot by Zhang Fei back to the village.

The owner of this cottage is named Liu Shi, about forty years old, with big arms and round waist, strong and strong, his complexion is quite dark due to the wind and sun all year round, he looks like a stubborn rock from a distance.

At this moment Liu Shi was sitting in the village, bowing his head in deep thought, not knowing what he was thinking.

At the bottom there was a man with a look of pain on his face, and he was babbling: "Commander, the food left in the village is not enough for five days. , I hope the commander-in-chief can think of a way..."

While he was talking, the people beside him all nodded along, putting all their hopes on Liu Shi, hoping that he could lead everyone to survive.

If you observe carefully, you can find that besides Liu Shi, there are four or five people in the village at this time, and they all have vegetables on their faces, which should be caused by long-term malnutrition.

boom!
Probably a little annoyed by what this person said, Liu Shi slammed the table and stood up, and said viciously: "I'm so annoying! Second child, you fucking shut up, or I will beat you to death with a whip!"

Seeing that Liu Shi was angry, the man who spoke just now could only shake his head with a wry smile, and stopped speaking.

Although the words were not allowed to be spoken, the stomach was still empty, the problem of eating had to be resolved, and everyone's eyes were still looking at Liu Shi.

"You are all fucking looking at what I am doing!" Under everyone's attention, Liu Shi spread his palm the size of a cattail fan, and said helplessly, "Could it be possible that I can also conjure food?"

"But Commander, the brothers are almost unable to hold on anymore. Just yesterday, people in the family members of the brothers starved to death. There are also some little babies who disappeared without a sound. No one was alive or dead. Probably should was..."

The second child did not continue, but it is not difficult to find from his demeanor and words,

Those children who disappeared should have been eaten...

The so-called changing children to eat is probably the case.

Hearing this, Liu Shi, who was already irritable, couldn't help it immediately, and suddenly pulled out the long knife behind him, and said angrily: "Who, who did it! These beasts that are not as good as pigs and dogs are all from my brothers. How can they do it! Second child, who do you think did it, I will immediately chop up these beasts!"

The man couldn't help but rolled his eyes, he no longer had any hope for the IQ of his commander.

"The commander-in-chief calm down, he is about to starve to death, how can he care about other people's lives. The most urgent task is to alleviate the crisis of food shortage and prevent brothers from starving to death."

said another man.

Hearing that the root of the problem was food, Liu Shi slumped on the ground like a deflated ball, and the big knife in his hand fell to the ground with a bang.

"Food, food, don't I know that food is important! But the question is where to get food?"

Liu Shi, an upright guy, was completely helpless, turned his head and asked the second child in his mouth, "Second brother, how about I take my brothers down the mountain to grab some food and come back, then the city is really rich, and the city is full of people. Corrupt officials, I want to rob not only their food, but also their wives!"

As soon as this remark came out, the eyes of the others lit up immediately, and they screamed that they wanted to go to Zhending City with Liu Shi to rob!
"Commander, now we have less than [-] soldiers capable of fighting, how many days will it take to win Zhending?"

Faced with the rising passion of the crowd, the second child poured cold water on it without hesitation.

"If we haven't made a real decision, what should we do if we don't have enough food and grass? Besides, what should the brothers' families do if the commander-in-chief leads the brothers out of the mountains? Also, the real decision is only less than two hundred miles away from Yecheng , what if the dog governor sends troops to attack us from behind?"

Faced with a series of questions from the second child, Liu Shi was stunned.

"Then... let's pass on the order. Starting tomorrow, the food for each meal will be halved, so that we can last a little longer."

The second child shook his head and said: "Commander, the meal has been halved from the day before yesterday, and it will be halved again tomorrow. If there is any more, people will starve to death."

Seeing that his ideas were refuted every time, Liu Shi, who was already grumpy, became angry again, and slapped the table again.

"This doesn't work, and that doesn't work. Second child, what do you want me to do! Or you can be the commander-in-chief. As long as you can get food for the brothers, you can do whatever you want!"

"The commander-in-chief don't joke, how can I do anything..."

Seeing that Liu Shi was about to quit, the second brother panicked, how could he get food.

In this noisy atmosphere, the soldiers guarding the gate brought the arrows shot by Zhang Fei.

"Commander, there is a white-faced man outside the stronghold who shoots an arrow, saying he wants the Commander to reply quickly, otherwise the army will attack the mountain, and I will die without a place to die!"

"What, the officers and soldiers are coming!" Liu Shi was shocked, and hurriedly picked up his big knife from the ground, and shouted: "Second brother, gather brothers and fight against the officers and soldiers with me!"

The second child's forehead is full of black lines...

"Don't worry, the commander-in-chief, it may not be that the officers and soldiers have arrived."

The second child dissuaded him, and then asked the soldiers guarding the gate some questions, such as how many people Zhang Fei had brought and what he said. It was finally confirmed that the officers and soldiers did not make a large-scale attack, and he was only relieved after sending someone to deliver the letter.

After receiving the arrow from the gatekeeper, he waved his hand to signal him to retreat, and then handed the arrow to Liu Shi.

"You say that officers and soldiers shoot arrows here to deliver messages, and I can't read. What are you doing to me? You read it to your brothers."

The second child nodded, and carefully untied the knot on the arrow. The moment he opened the sheepskin, he couldn't help being stunned.

"What's the matter, my second son, you were so frightened by the officers and soldiers, so read it quickly!"

Faced with Liu Shi's urging, the second child said, "Come out and talk, we have food and clothes to wear."

"What do you mean, and then, gone?"

The second child nodded.

"Gone."

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room seemed to freeze, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to express their feelings at the moment.

With a complex expression, Liu Shi took the sheepskin and looked at it carefully, although he was illiterate.

After a long time, Liu Shi slowly said: "Second brother, you said what he said is true or false, should we go out and talk to this person?"

If there was any other possibility, it would be too dangerous for Liu Shi to go out to meet Lin Chao.

But at this moment, the food in the village is exhausted, if this continues, people will really eat people, and he, Liu Shi, has the last choice.

What's more, the white-faced man claimed that there was an imperial army outside the mountain, but he didn't know if it was true or not. If there was, one could imagine the fate of himself and his brothers.

"Commander, why don't you send a brother out to communicate with the other party first, and the two sides agree to a place to meet, and each is only allowed to bring ten people, so as not to be taken advantage of by the other party. If the officers and soldiers outside agree, it means that they are sincere. If If you don’t agree, let’s make further calculations.”

Liu Shi nodded, agreeing with the second child's idea.

On the second day, when Lin Chao saw two or three Black Mountain Yellow Turban soldiers coming out of the village, they came straight to him, and they carried letters.

He understands that this trip is already half the battle.
