Jagged Legion

Chapter 118 Food shortage

Xu Fu wooed people's hearts with all his might and stabilized the morale of the soldiers on board.Li Longxiang's escape made Xu Fu feel like a bird of fright. Once He Xiaowang sent troops to encircle and suppress them, the thousands of soldiers would have to die.Xu Fu immediately ordered the fleet to move forward with all its strength.Li Xian and Shaobo these days just ate and slept, slept and ate, chatting with nothing to do.These days, the rations provided to Li Xian and Shaobo have become less and less. They used to have three meals a day with wine and meat, but now there are no wine and meat in two meals a day, and a lot of dry food contains rat droppings, which is unbearably vulgar. hard to swallow.Shaobo said: "Li Xian, we haven't eaten wine or meat these days? What is Xu Fu going to do!" Li Xian said: "Hmph, what do you think? I don't think Xu Fu wants to cut off our rations, but There is not much food left now, the cook must have deducted our ration without authorization." Shaobo said angrily, "I will go to Xu Fu and ask him for an explanation!" Li Xian pulled Shaobo back and said, "Sit down! Even if we go now, it will be of no avail! We are under house arrest here, and grandma doesn’t love my uncle, who will take care of us?” Shaobo held a steamed bun in his hand, which was hard enough to kill a dog, and said in an atmosphere: “Then What should I do? How can I eat this?" Li Xian said: "Now is just the beginning, there are steamed buns to eat, I'm afraid I won't even be able to eat these in a few days!" Li Xian picked up the steamed bun and cut it open with a dagger. Give Shaobo a piece, take one for yourself, and chew slowly.

Shaobo reluctantly gnawed a 'stone' and said: "This Xu Fu ordered a long-distance voyage, what should I do if the husband can't find it?" Li Xian frowned and said: "I'm afraid it will be really difficult to find the husband at that time, we have to find a way." Yes." Shaobo said: "What shall we do? No one can get out here."

Li Xian clapped his hands suddenly and said: "Yes!! We can't get out of Shaobo, but there is a way to send the news!" Shaobo asked happily: "What way?" Li Longxiang picked up a dagger in his hand , Dig a piece of wood from the wooden table, engrave on it: "Li Xian, Shaobo, far away at sea." Then throw it into the sea.Shaobo laughed loudly: "This method is good! Although it may not be blown anywhere, but as long as we keep throwing it into the sea, we will always be found by the husband." Li Xian laughed and said: "Of course! Alright, Now the ship is also unstable! It is estimated that there will be some troubles, but we just ignore it." Shaobo said: "I also noticed it. I stayed in the shallow sea for more than a month, and I'm afraid something will go wrong this time." Li Xian said: "Okay, we usually pay attention to some sailing routes and remember some obvious signs. We must pass it on to the sir in time." Two People chatted about other things.Shaobo ate a few mouthfuls and said: "Li Xian, how long do we have to eat this food? It's really unbearable!" Li Xian said with a smile: "It is difficult for others to talk about eating, but for us cavalry Is it still a problem for the army? Oh, look at you, let's go, let's have a meal!"

Xu Fu led the army to sail on the vast sea for more than a month. Besides the sea, it is still the sea.Gradually, the food and grass on board have begun to be stretched.One day, the little official in charge of grain and grass reported to Xu Fu: "General, the grain and grass on the ship can last up to one month at most. If we let go of the grain a little bit, it will be exhausted within ten days." , suddenly heard that the grain and grass in the army could only last for more than ten days, and he was shocked and asked: "Why are there so few? Didn't we load fifty ships with grain and grass?" The little official said with a bitter face: " How did the general know that we are not only short of food, but also a lot of fresh water has turned black and smelly, and now we barely rely on these to survive every day." Xu Fu said irritably: "Okay, okay! Go down, I understand !" Xu Fu asked people to remove the food and drinks around him, and said: "Let General Niu Dawu come to see me immediately." Ever since Niu Dawu had several singers rewarded by Xu Fu, he was so confused day and night, where did he get out of bed?Hearing Xu Fu's call, he hurriedly got up, all of this is now given by Xu Fu, and Xu Fu can throw him into the sea with one word.

Niu Dawu hurried to Xu Fu's place, Xu Fu's face was gloomy, seeing Niu Dawu flustered like this made him even more irritable.I thought to myself: "What kind of people are I?! Everyone is lustful or greedy for alcohol! None of them can be useful!" But among these few people, only Niu Dawu's head can be used.Xu Fu signaled Niu Dawu to sit down.Niu Dawu sat down, and Xu Fu said: "General Niu, now we are really at the end of the mountain!" Niu Dawu was stunned for a moment: "Why did General Xu say that? Aren't we going well?" Xu Fu Can't help cursing: "Successful fart!! Now the army is running out of food and grass! The water is about to run out! Save food and money for a month at most! If we don't find land, we will all die here!!" Niu Dawu Hearing that the grain and grass can't last long, the new students regret it!I said in my heart: "Oh, what big dream do you think I am! I have to follow Xu Fu to this place where no shit! Although I can't enjoy great blessings in Lingnan, I don't have to carry my head all day long! Sigh! The intestines are all green!" But the current crisis has to be resolved, if it can't be solved, the guy who eats now can't keep it.

Niu Dawu wiped the sweat from his brow and said: "General, don't worry, there will always be a solution!" Xu Fu looked at Niu Dawu's uncertain face and sneered, "Hmph, Dawu! Do you regret talking to me? Here? Huh?" Niu Dawu hurriedly said: "General, General! This subordinate has no such intentions! It's just that the subordinate was thinking of something just now." Xu Fu's face softened and said: "Have you ever thought of a way?" Niu Dawu said: "The general's subordinates have a plan for their rights and interests!" Xu Fu said, "Let's hear it!" Niu Dawu said, "The news of the lack of food and grass in the army must not be spread, otherwise, it will easily lead to mutiny in the army." Xu Fu Said: "Yes, this general is worried about these things now! But how long can you hide it if you say it is a secret? Water and food are almost gone. If we reduce or exempt food now, I am afraid that it will immediately arouse the suspicion of the soldiers! Dilemma, now If you don’t limit the rations, you won’t be able to last for ten days!” Niu Dawu said with a smile: “General, these subordinates have already thought about it, and we still have a way to avoid it, but when the time comes, we need to borrow someone’s things?”
