My whole family is punching cards in the farming article to survive

"Absolutely not!"

Before Mei You noticed, Gu Ping rushed in and said something that angered Mei You.

Seeing this, Mei Berry had to follow him in. As soon as he entered, he looked up and saw that the faces of the people present were not much better.

But Meiyu was obviously the most unhappy.

"Why are you here?"

Mei You was very unhappy with Gu Pinglu's rebuttal just now, and the tone in which he said it now was also unpleasant.

Upon seeing this, Mei Bei hurriedly walked up to Mei You, grinned and said with a forced smile: "Sister, am I not here to help you? Now we are in a dilemma in this battle. I heard that everything has to be re-planned, right? Gu Hou?"

Mei Berry winked at Gu Yan. Although Gu Yan didn't say anything, he didn't open his mouth to refute either, so he acquiesced to Mei Berry's intention.

Everything remains open to question.

"Even if we trap and kill those people, it's not at this time."

"Junjun?!"

Gu Yan never expected that the other person who came also said he wanted to trap and kill him.

"This is not..."

"Listen to me."

Seeing that Gu Yan was about to object again, Mei Bei quickly interrupted him.

"I understand your considerations, Marquis Gu. Once the prisoners of war are killed, not only will it be bad for our reputation if word spreads about it, but it will also make it very difficult to fight in related wars in the future."

Once an exception is made and all prisoners of war are killed, what else can the two warring parties not make an exception for in the future?

Seeing that Mei Mei clearly knows these truths, Gu Yan doesn't understand Mei Mei and still supports Mei You.

“But Yanzhou is a bitter cold place, and there is not as much food cultivation as in the south.

Now we not only have to support our own soldiers and horses, but also the surrendered prisoners and the people who were tricked by the King of Wei.

Gu Hou, have you calculated this amount?

It will be at least nearly five months until next year when the weather is warm and planting can be done. I don't care about raising the people, but raising prisoners of war for five months... No one had any leftover food due to natural and man-made disasters in the past few years.

Finally, the weather has been a little smoother in the past two days, but the war has started again, and everyone is in a tight situation. Is the food we are trying to grow now just to feed a group of people who have hurt the people in the past and will drag us down in the future? "

Meiberry obviously didn't like the soldiers who were trying their best to squeeze the people and even eat them.

Because of this, she understood what Meiyou was doing.

“Sister, it’s not only because of these people’s poor character, but also because of the food.

I just asked Mr. Hu. So far, we have received nearly [-] reduced generals.

This does not include the surrendered people.

Going forward, those who accept surrender may not be able to directly surpass our own army.

It’s okay to have food to eat now, but what if it happens later?

If they don’t have enough to eat, will they resist or stab us in the back? Or maybe cannibalism is on our heads? "

It's not that Gu Yan didn't understand what Mei Bei said, but the impact of trapping and killing prisoners of war was too great to make an exception easily.

"The predicament we are facing now was planned by King Wei and others. They took away all the elite soldiers and left behind these temporarily recruited militiamen.

They also left behind generals with low moral character. After King Wei left, they took measures to close the city and prey on the people.

Cannibalism first started among the common people. Because their food was taken away first to feed the soldiers.

When there is no longer enough food in the military camp, and there is already a lot of cannibalism outside, they will eat human flesh with peace of mind..."

As Meiberry said, she couldn't help but hold her stomach. She said it was disgusting.

“King Wei and the others have determined that we will be in a dilemma like this.

By killing the surrendered prisoners, our reputation was instantly ruined.

If they don't kill, at least Yanzhou can be dragged down directly.

By the spring of next year, if they have their hands free, they will be able to clean up everyone who is almost "out of ammunition and food" without any effort. "

This was not something Mei Berry figured out right away, but when she got here, after Hu Yanqing's request and when she was talking and sorting it out just now, these things were naturally sorted out in Mei Berry's mind.

···

"Looking at the time, Mei Berry should have arrived in Yanzhou."

On this day, Dongfang Jing'an received a letter from Yanzhou, but due to the time difference, the news there did not say that Mei Pei had arrived. On the contrary, Dongfang Jing'an calculated that Mei Pei should have arrived at the same time today.

Looking at the letter sent from Yanzhou, Dongfang Jing'an's face couldn't help but darken.

"Good calculation!" Even though the news they received from Yanzhou was from Yanzhou a few days ago, before Mei You and Gu Yan officially broke out, Dongfang Jing'an and the others still saw the sinister intentions in it.

When Dongfang Jing'an convened the counselors to discuss this plan, who heard it and who didn't think that the other party was vicious?

"No wonder, when King Wei moved to Yunzhou, we were still saying that he would let go of Yanzhou so easily. It is unreasonable for him to leave like this. I didn't expect King Wei to be so vicious!"

Dongfang Ke was also present. When he learned from Dongfang Jing'an about the problems encountered during the war in Yanzhou, his face was also ugly.

"How dare he do this..."

As a result, it is not just a matter of tens of thousands of people dying.

"Even if we try our best to provide food for Yanzhou..." Chu Siju couldn't help but sigh as he said, "But the journey to the north in winter is difficult, and even if we want to have a steady supply, it's impossible, and if there is too much movement, , Hanzhou and Yunzhou cannot sit idly by.

The opponent may have to hesitate when facing us head-on, but it is not impossible to rush into our team escorting food, grass and baggage.

Also, can we really take care of Yanzhou?

At present, Sangzi and Zhuzhou are recovering from the war, and the King of Wei and the imperial court are also watching closely. Even if we want to fully support the north, it will not be easy to survive. "

In fact, everyone had some terrible thoughts in their hearts, but no one dared to mention the simplest thing of killing prisoners.

They also knew that once they really took action, they would probably fall for Dongfang Tai's trick.

···

"Once you kill a prisoner, it's a point of no return. You can't look back."

It's not like Mei You and Gu Yan don't have counselors who are very good at arithmetic.

Whether it was Hu Yanqing, who was later called into the tent by Mei You, or Gu Yan's counselors, everyone calculated that it would be a bottomless pit to hold on until next spring.

"Those surrendered troops, even if we provide them with food and drink, it's hard to say whether they will be able to be used by us by next spring, and whether they will be incited to rebel again during the war."

Doesn't Mei You know that this road Gu Pinglu said is the point of no return?

She knew, that's why she wanted to kill those people.

Meiberry also stopped talking after the analysis just now, and watched as counselors from both sides joined the debate again to estimate the gains and losses.

For the first time, Mei Berry discovered that even if he saw through the enemy's conspiracy, he still felt powerless.

So what if you see it?

Can you make a choice?

"I'm going out to catch my breath."

Mei Bei listened to the back and forth between the two parties, and the air in the tent became increasingly polluted.

Mei Bei felt that her brain was going to explode, so she whispered to Mei You and left the main tent.

As soon as he went out, the sky outside had turned black, with sparse starlight dotted on it. Mayberry just stood there and looked up at the sky.

It wasn't until Yongyuan, who was driven over to look for her, shouted back to her senses that Mei Bei said, "What's wrong?"

"Fresh roasted sweet potatoes, sister, do you want to eat?"

"eat."

Yongyuan and his group had already settled in, and Yongyuan didn't bother anyone in the military camp when they had their first meal here.

She took a few of her subordinates and took their own share of the rations, part of which were sweet potatoes and potatoes brought by Tian Qi from Xianyao.

Yongyuan immediately decided to have some roasted sweet potatoes in the evening.

Seeing Yongyuan's excited face as she pulled her back, Mei Bei remembered that no one in the tent behind her seemed to have eaten.

So on the way, I found someone to go to Huotou Camp and asked them to prepare some food and send it in later.

Afterwards, Meiberry followed Yongyuan back to their own small camp, and ate roasted sweet potatoes together.

"By the way, are Sister Meiyou and uncle arguing with each other?"

Yongyuan is still thinking about how she and Gu Pinglu went to the main account when they first arrived in Meibei.

Meiberry had just eaten half a piece of roasted sweet potato. After hearing Yongyuan's words, Meiberry glanced at the sweet potato in her hand that had not yet been finished, and asked, "Are you sure you said this before you finished the sweet potato?"

"Ah, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter." Yongyuan just picked a big sweet potato for herself, and she probably won't be able to finish it in a while.

Seeing Yongyuan like this, Mei Berry smiled slightly, carefully placed the remaining half of the sweet potato in his hand in a bowl aside, and then told Yongyuan what she should have a nightmare about tonight...

Mayberry: The devil whispers.

Yesterday my dad called me and told me that my uncle was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer.

My grandfather also passed away for this reason, and he was the same age as my uncle.

I was a little scared when I heard that. I urged my dad to go for a physical examination. This year, he always forgot about it. I always thought this was a bit scary.

Annual health check-ups are a must, so early detection and early attention will help.
