Chapter 1124: Hungry

"Food...... Give me something to eat......"

"It's okay to give some forage......"

A humble strong man, riding a horse, slowly walked on the edge of the grassland, and here, perhaps because of the geothermal relationship, or because of the terrain, such as some concave centers have a perennial freshwater lake, which also creates one of the best Gobi oases here in Mobei.

And now, the surrounding herdsmen who have suffered from the spring cold disaster have subconsciously driven their cattle and sheep who have survived the cold winter here, hoping to let the cattle and sheep eat a bite of the new grass seedlings in spring.

Cattle and sheep are the herdsmen's fields, and now these living fields are also falling one by one, making these herdsmen who are suffering in the wind and frost grief.

Originally, the pastures were willing to accommodate the scattered herders who came to the oasis, but as the number of people increased, the limited area could no longer allow people to flood indefinitely, so the early arrivals spontaneously organized themselves to keep the crowds coming out of the oasis......

Some people still have the strength to look for other places, while others have exhausted their reserves and can no longer walk, so they can only camp at the edge of the pasture.

"Huye Han Great Shaman," one = this Xianbei strong man, with muscles stretched, bowed to the ground and said, "Early this morning, when I was inspecting, more than ten people died outside......" (what should the sorcerer of the Xianbei people call it, the author can't find it, and there are few written records, so let's use the shaman)

Hu Yehan was silent for a while, and said, "Kan Erjin, let my sons squeeze and see if I can make a few more tents out...... After all, they are all descendants of the Immortal Heaven......"

"Yes, the great shaman of Huyehan," said Kan Erjin, "but these days, the weather is too cold, and the pastures are not growing...... Seeing that we are running out of hay from last year, if this weather continues like this, it will be like last year...... The long-legged and the little horned cub are estimated to be ......."

Hu Yehan frowned deeply, the wind and frost of the desert for many years seemed to have carved deep marks on his face, and now these marks were shining under the torch in the tent, as if they were alive on his face, gently squirming and climbing: "...... Herald...... Gather all the heads of the ministries to this point, and the deliberations ......"

………………………………

"Hungry...... I'm hungry......"

"Food...... ...... to eat"

The surging tide of displaced people swept through Guanzhong like hungry ghosts in hell.

No one would have thought that the development of these homeless people would be so fast!

Whether it was Xia Mou, who was shrinking to the right side of Fufeng, or the Chong clan in Chang'an City, they didn't realize this, and because the left and right sides of Wugong County were the so-called buffer areas that were intentionally separated, when the displaced people in Guanzhong began to surge in this area, both sides felt that the other party might take care of it, and there was no need for them to clean up the mess......

As a result, both sides did not care, and the grain and grass in the Wugong County area were swept by Xia Mu to the right wind, which was even more embarrassing, although there was a heart to suppress, but there was no hard currency in the hand, and within a few days, it was completely submerged by the wave of hungry people.

In Wugong County, no less than seven or eight fires of all sizes have been ignited, and black smoke rises into the sky, mixed with the sound of people crying and screaming, and soars into the sky.

This Wugong county, which was originally prosperous because of a large number of garrisons and then hoarded a lot of grain and grass, but because of the transfer of soldiers, horses, grain and grass, this place, which was originally regarded as a comfortable nest, finally suffered an unprecedented disaster.

The originally small number of soldiers and horses in Wugong County were completely rotten and chaotic under the strong attack of the displaced people. The moment the city gate was breached, it was the beginning of the disaster in Wugong County. With the frenzied people burning and looting in the city, in the middle of the road and on the street, there were piles of people, smashing the courtyard gate, cutting off the door panel and boiling the looted food on the street.

The little bit of food that I grabbed was impatiently roasted, or I simply ate it half raw!

There are many people, but there is little food.

Every little bit of food is scavenged out, it is coaxed and eaten, just like the cheap tour group of later generations, more than ten people sit at the empty round table with dishes and chopsticks, and every dish is served, and they are instantly disced, and they can't wait to gnaw on the plate.

The little poor food entered the stomach, not only did not quench the hunger and thirst of the stomach, but stimulated the digestion and secretion of the stomach and intestines even more......

The more you eat, the hungrier you get, the hungrier you eat!

"Hungry...... I'm hungry......"

"Food...... ...... to eat"

The four gates of Wugong County have all been opened, and people are coming in and out everywhere. On every street, there are groups of homeless people, some of these homeless people have completely lost their original honest appearance, carrying the blades that they don't know where to pick up, as long as they smash open a slightly richer family and rush in, see the man can't help but break up the blade on the body, and then rummage through the soft belongings on the corpse, when he sees the woman, he grabs the hair bun and grabs it, if it is tender, it can not only be played with at home, but also can be used as a reserve for food, and those old ugly ones are directly killed and thrown in the corner corridor, No one gave it a second look......

The black smoke that covered the sky and the sun, accompanied by the screams and cries that filled the city, even the originally lazy sun in the sky seemed to be unbearable to see all this, and quietly hid behind the clouds, silently.

Everyone in the middle of it couldn't understand why it was just in these few days, whether it was Wugong County or these chaotic homeless people, how did they become like this!

………………………………

“…… Now there is only one way......" After the chaotic words of the various tribal leaders in the big tent finally quieted down, Hu Yehan said slowly.

Although there was a fire burning in the big tent, the wrinkles on Hu Yehan's face seemed to be completely black and could not be illuminated, and they were extremely profound, and I didn't know what was hidden in it.

This grassland belongs to Huye Han, and there have been several people in the Huye Han family, who used to be the shaman of Maoton, of course, now the shaman of the Xianbei King has another person, but it still does not affect the influence of Hu Yehan in this area.

"Great shaman, please speak."

"Yes, yes, great shaman, please say, let's all listen......"

Hu Yehan breathed a few times, as if he wanted to spit out the aging in his body along with his breath from his body, and then muttered in his throat, like pieces of thick phlegm surging: "...... This is the shaman's pasture, and it is the place where the natural will descends, so there is a perennial lake that does not freeze, and there is grass that grows in all seasons...... But this year, as you have seen, the grass ...... No more ......"

Hu Yehan suddenly straightened up, stretched out his withered arms into the air, and shouted hoarsely, "This is the warning sign of the Immortal Heaven!" This is the punishment that the Immortal Heaven inflicts on us! And you, including me, are all sinners, born sinners! That's why I will bear the wrath of the Immortal Heaven! Therefore, the earth does not grow grass, and the sky does not get warmer! ”

The leaders of the various tribes in the big tent were a little panicked, looked at each other, and then fell to the ground in unison, shouting: "Immortal Heaven is above!" ”

"Honorable Great Shaman, we haven't done anything evil, why would the Immortal Heaven send calamity?"

Hu Yehan stretched out a bony finger, pointed to the south and said, "...... Immortal Heaven told me...... Where is the source of evil......"

The leaders in the big tent couldn't help but turn their heads to look south along Hu Yehan's fingers, although they were blocked by the tent and couldn't see anything, but soon someone thought of something, and then couldn't help shouting: "Yin Mountain!" Yin Mountain! It must be Yin Mountain! ”

Hu Yehan gasped, and then said, "...... The immortal heaven said that those who are disgraced must be washed away with blood; What is lost must be regained...... Only in this way can we regain the joy of immortality, and let our pasture regain the warmth of a girl's chest......"

“…… However, there is an army of Han Chinese...... "one of the leaders muttered, "their army is full of powerful monsters, and they can gallop on the grassland, and they can't cut through the swords and guns, and the arrows can't penetrate, and even General Zuo has died at their hands......"

"Immortal Heaven will help our ......" Hu Yehan listened quietly, and then said slowly: "...... You can also do it without following the wishes of the Immortal Heavens...... But he who does not take the words of the immortal heaven to heart will leave his slaves and cattle in the ground......"

………………………………

"What? Most of the seedlings that were planted died?! ”

Cao Cao's eyes widened, barely believing his ears. Even if his eyes were round, he was only the size of a mung bean to the size of a soybean, at most the size of a black bean.

“…… Yes," Xun Yu lowered his head deeply and said with self-reproach, "...... It is a crime that a certain person did not perceive the change of time in time, nor did he fail to remind Ming Gong in time...... Please be clear and punish ......"

Cao Cao stretched out two fingers that were originally like halberds, but when they were halfway out, they turned into palms, and then they fell, patted the table lightly, and said, "...... This is a sudden change in time, how can it be blamed on Wen Ruo...... But in this case, do we have enough food to grow? ”

Cheng Yu made a face that looked like he had just died, and said: "Qi Yu Ming Gong, there is no surplus grain, and if you want to replant, you can only use armaments......

"If we replant all of them, how long will we be able to support our grain and grass?" Cao Cao said with a frown.

"Three months at most." Cheng Yu said.

"March ......" Cao Cao was silent.

The crowd was silent.

There is no Zhuang He in the middle of the spring, there is nothing in the autumn, this matter, even the most stupid people, understand the powerful relationship in front of them, and if you replant Zhuang He, you will run out of food after three months......

New grain can only be harvested in July and August, and what do you eat in the blank three or four months?

All go to gnaw the bark and drink the northwest wind?

What to do? How to choose?

"Zi Jiao, I need to find all the ethnic groups in Yanzhou again and borrow some grain and grass!" Cao Cao frowned and said, "This matter will be handed over to you!" ”

Wei Qi arched his hand and said, "Ming Gong, a man of Yanzhou...... I borrowed it three times last year, and now I ...... Why don't you borrow some grain and grass from the generals......"

"Somebody knows! However, the general also prepared an army to enter Youzhou north, and we are ashamed that we can't help, so how can we drag the general's armament because of this matter? Cao Cao waved his hand, glanced at Wei Qi and said, "If you go and prepare, you can set off first, this matter is very important, and it cannot be delayed......"

“…… Obey the orders of the Ming Public. Seeing Cao Cao say this, Wei Qi could only give up, quickly glanced at Xun Yu, who was still holding his head, and then said, "In this way, a certain retirement......

Cao Cao nodded.

In the hall, there was silence again, and after a long time, Cao Cao said, "...... Yuan Rang, gather soldiers, and go to Xuzhou again! ”

"Yui."

"No!"

Two voices came to mind in the lobby at about the same time.

The only one is naturally Xiahou Dun, but it is Xun Yu who is called indispensable.

"Ming Gong, the looting of Xuzhou before was already full of resentment, and now if you go to Xuzhou again...... I'm afraid ......" Xun Yu originally just suggested that Cao Cao feint to attack Xuzhou, but he didn't expect it to become a real fight because of this matter.

Cao Cao needs grain and grass, and the people of Xuzhou will definitely not be happy to offer it with their hands, and Xuzhou must be in spring ploughing now, so sending troops at this time will definitely form a disaster in the end.

Before Cao manipulated the Qingzhou soldiers to loot the four county seats, although to a certain extent, it was not entirely Cao Cao's fault, and it can be said that it was negligence, but it was already full of complaints, and many children of the scholar clan were already discussing it in private, and now they are fighting Xuzhou, then it is foreseeable that the consequences will be more serious, and Cao Cao's reputation among the scholars means that it is completely ruined......

Originally, it was meant to be whitewashed from the eunuchs, and in this way, it soon became a complete stinky street?

"Wen Ruo, if you don't send troops to Xuzhou, what can you do?" Cao Cao stopped what Xun Yu was about to say and asked in a deep voice.

"This ......" Xun Yu was also speechless.

The land of Yanzhou, to the north is Hanoi, which belongs to General Yuan; To the south, this is the area of Nanyang, Yingchuan, Yuzhou, which is either Yuan's nest or Xun Yu's own hometown; To the west is Hongnong, not to mention Yang Biao, the emperor's imperial capital Luoyang is also here......

In this way, where else can we go?

No matter how smart Xun Yu is, in this case, she is only a clever daughter-in-law, and she is not a snail girl, so there is no other good way.

Cao Cao didn't know that releasing the Qingzhou soldiers to loot grain and grass was tantamount to killing the hope of Xuzhou people's future survival, and he would inevitably suffer a huge resistance, and he would also damage his reputation and lose his good image that had been in business for a long time, but at the moment, what can he do?

The hundreds of thousands of Qingzhou Corps are like a hungry double-edged sword, unsheathed, and if they can't be allowed to drink other people's blood, they must feed it with their own blood!
