Army of the Undead in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 51
Hearing that the population of Hongnong City increased by [-] in an instant, and [-] Xiongnu soldiers were captured, Liu Bian didn't know whether it was happiness or worry.From the moment he learned of his identity after traveling, he knew that his future survival path would no longer be ordinary. In this troubled world, if he wanted to survive, there was only one condition: strength!

Now under Dong Zhuo's power, there are many heroes everywhere, and each has its own regime.But Liu Bian knew the history, those feuding princes were all short-lived, and they would all lose one by one in this knockout match. In the end, only Liu, Cao, and Sun could stand on top of each other, and these three had all gone through various experiences. There are big ups and downs, and the danger of losing your life if you are not careful.From Liu Bian's point of view, even if he really wanted to rely on his status as King Hongnong to seek refuge with the three of them, it might not be as peaceful as he expected.Therefore, he has only one path to choose: recruiting troops and buying horses, and starting his own side.

In this case, Hongnong City, as the foundation for a foothold, must not be abandoned.

However, he is also well aware of the current situation in Hongnong City. Without money or food, it is not easy to feed tens of thousands of people.
Sighing, he asked Yu Ji: "Based on the current expenditure, how long can we last?" Ashamed to say, as the lord of a city, he didn't know the situation of his territory.

Yu Ji glanced at Hua Tuo who was sitting next to Liu Bian, and snorted, the meaning was obvious, such important military affairs should not be known by him, an "outsider".Hua Tuo naturally knew what Yu Ji was thinking, so he snorted coldly, but strangely, he didn't argue with Yu Ji, but stood up, bid farewell to Liu Bian and left.

"When did this old man become so reasonable?" Yu Ji watched Hua Tuo go out in surprise, but he didn't realize it for a while, and smiled awkwardly when he saw Liu Bian looking at him.

"My lord, the cost of Hongnong City was very limited. It was only enough to sustain the people in the city through the spring, and there was no food left. Fortunately, a few days ago, I got a lot of money from the rest of the Yellow Turban, and 4% of it has been used by the old ministers. In terms of city wall repair and residential construction, people have already asked people to buy building materials and stones. If the remaining 4% are all purchased as food, it can only maintain the food supply of [-] people in the city for two months. It is also supported until the beginning of spring, but once winter After spring comes, these [-] people will have nothing to eat." Yu Ji's face was full of pain, obviously he was reluctant to give up the money he just got.

Can it last two months?Only then did Liu Bian remember that he got a lot of money after killing the yellow turban thief outside the city the day before yesterday. He didn't have the values ​​of this world. Although Yu Ji explained it once, he didn't pay much attention to it. Now it seems that it is really a timely gift. up.

Yu Ji hesitated for a while, seemingly undecided, but he gritted his teeth and continued: "The three thousand Hun captives are all strong and strong, and they can be used to build a city and build houses, but there are too few defenders in my city. I can't control it, according to the old minister's opinion, it is better to kill two thousand people, and the remaining 1000 people! You can also save the next part of the food for the next year."

Liu Bian was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.Killing, he naturally doesn't care. As a master of the undead, death has always been an eternal theme. Although he is not a pure master of the undead, he is somewhat affected by the dead soul fire stored in his body.But even if he exhausted everything in the city, he could only maintain food for the 4 people for two months. What about after two months?Although everything recovers after the spring blooms, and the vegetation grows, but even if the spring plowing is planted, it will not be reaped in an instant. These people still have to be hungry.

"If the seeds are planted after the beginning of spring, how long will it take to eat the food?" Liu Bian is a complete layman on crops and other production conditions, and these things are greatly affected by the climate, so there is no clue, so he had to ask Yu Ji for advice.

"This place is located in severe cold. Even if we start planting in spring, the temperature will not go up. Vegetables, melons and fruits will take three months at the fastest to be picked. If the water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River are suitable, they will usually mature in one month." Yu Ji shook his head, saying that even if he grows things, he still has to be hungry.

"By the way, in the "Taiping Essentials" left by Zhang Jiao, is there any record of a quick way to make vegetables or a theory of changing the climate?"

Hearing what Liu Bian said, Yu Ji smiled wryly: "Young Master, those Taoist arts often use the power of heaven and earth to temporarily change the time and place, and at most it only lasts for a moment or three quarters. How can it last forever?"

Think about it too, if it really can change the world, this "Taiping Yaoshu" will really exist against the sky, and Zhang Jiao will definitely not fail easily.

"However," Yu Ji pondered: "That book does record the method of digging the ground to drain water. You can use caves as channels, with external assistance, and use the cold air from the mountains to flow into the ground, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing speed and temperature. But this method But it's completely useless, and it's completely useless."

What he said gave Liu Bian an idea, and he thought of the Frozen Throne on the top of the ice mountain: the throne gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and can even make the top of the snow mountain perennial spring, if it can attract that spiritual energy to Hongnong Wouldn't it be possible for a city to achieve the effect of being like spring all year round and always green?

Thinking about it this way, he felt that it was somewhat feasible, so he tentatively told Yu Ji everything that Zhang Jiao told him about the Ice Throne that day, and asked him to analyze it.As for the location of the Frozen Throne, he said that it was on the Ten Thousand Years Snow Mountain. As for the fact that all the Kou people had been wiped out, it was better not to tell Yu Ji for the time being.

Hearing such a strange thing suddenly, even Yu Ji, who was well-informed, was also very surprised.Although he didn't know how Liu Bian got the news, but seeing Liu Bian's affirmative face, he also knew that this thing definitely existed.Liu Bian used to be the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, he held great power in the world, and he had some secrets that others didn't know, which is also reasonable.As for using the original method of draining the cold breath to drain the warm and constant heat, even Yu Ji didn't know if it was feasible or not.

"The matter has come to this, why don't you give it a go, anyway, the two thousand Hun captives will be killed anyway, in your opinion, how long will it take?" Liu Bian gritted his teeth and made a decision.

After a little calculation, Yu Ji came to the conclusion: "That method needs to dig a tunnel deep under Hongnong City to achieve the purpose of storing airflow. If 2000 people are counted, it must be completed in half a month. However, On that snow mountain, how can it be induced?"

"Ignore these things for now, you immediately arrange the defenders in the city, watch out for those Hun prisoners, and let them start work tomorrow." Liu Bian's tone was firm, not allowing any differences.

In Liu Bian's mind, there was a faint thought: Zhang Jiao on the snow mountain must have understood the theory of digging the ground to drain water, maybe he can handle all the things on the snow mountain, and when the time comes, the two undead soldiers will be resurrected You can find out by asking in the letter.
