It is as fast as the wind, as slow as a forest, as invading as fire, as immobile as a mountain, as difficult as a cloud, and as moving as a thunderbolt, which is the standard for training soldiers recorded in the Art of War and War.

To train the Taiping Army like this, Zhou Cang didn't dare to think about it, and it would be good to be able to obey the command in all actions.

After two months, the sergeants of Baihuzhai have a new look, although they are not as elite as the imperial court, but they are still comparable to the local government soldiers and county soldiers.

Each team has experienced at least one baptism of war, although there are certain casualties each time, but Zhoucang's team has not decreased, but has increased, the original cottage of only more than 6,000 people, suddenly the population has skyrocketed to 20,000, the original more than 3,000 soldiers, now increased to 6,000 soldiers, that is to say, the combat force has only doubled, but the number of people who 'eat dry rice' has increased by more than 10,000, making the food and grass consumption of Baihu Village a little bit unpaid.

"Lord, as the population of the cottage increases, our food is about to bottom out......" Xue Wenshan did not report this situation to Zhou Cang at one time.

"Big brother, I just don't understand, what are you doing with so many people who eat rice?" In the conference hall, Pei Yuanshao had long looked at the group of guys who only knew how to eat.

"Yes, leader, we don't need to build a cottage, and we don't have a field, so what are we going to do with such a group of waste." Xue Baihu and others also said that they couldn't get used to these people for a long time.

Zhou Cang glanced at Pei Yuanshao and the others lightly, and finally his gaze fell on Zhou Laosan.

"Zhou Laosan, do you have anything you want to say?"

Zhou Laosan was stunned at first when he heard this, looked at everyone, and finally stood up slowly, just opening his mouth and a breath of wine came to his face.

These days, Zhou Laosan's life is also very difficult, because Zhou Laosan lost an arm and was arranged to manage logistics, the so-called management logistics, that is, idle, these days, he has been ridiculed by others.

"Boss, a waste like us, you can leave us to fend for ourselves......"

Zhou Laosan's tone was very flat and negative, for Zhou Cang, he Zhou Laosan was very grateful, if it wasn't for Zhou Cang, he Zhou Laosan was afraid that his corpse would be rotten into scum at the moment.

Now the situation of the cottage is very clear in Zhoucang, there is food to eat, there is no problem at all, once there is no food, then there will be riots soon.

"You all think like that, don't you? Useless 'waste' is left to their own devices, right? Those old and weak women and children shouldn't give them food, right? They should be allowed to watch their relatives slowly starve to death, and their parents, wives and children are finally themselves, right? Comrades who have lost their combat effectiveness also make them lose in despair, right? ”

"Are you still human? Is there still a little bit of humanity? Lao Tzu Zhou Cang does not have brothers like you. ”

The more Zhou Cang spoke, the more angry he became, and even scolded.

"If there are your parents, wives and children among them, don't you care? If one day we are seriously injured, even if we are cured, we will be a waste, can we ignore you at that time? ”

Zhou Cang's abuse lasted for an hour, scolding everyone sitting so bloody that their heads were almost buried in their thighs.

"Lord ......" Zhou Laosan's gaze went from being dim and dull before, to recovering later, and finally his eyes were full of scorching flames.

Zhou Laosan walked out of his seat, facing Zhou Cang, and knelt on his knees.

"Lord, my Zhou Laosan was already a dying person, it was you who saved me, I owe you a life, now that there is a shortage of food in the cottage, you could have given up on me, but you didn't do it, and saved my life, I Zhou Laosan can't repay your kindness in this life......"

Pei Yuanshao and the others all looked ashamed at this moment.

"Zhou Laosan, you give Lao Tzu up, Lao Tzu has already said that your life is mine, if you don't cherish Lao Tzu's life, Lao Tzu will kill you......" Zhou Cang saw that Zhou Laosan's eyes were red, and the tears in his eyes had already flooded.

"Lord, benevolence and righteousness, I, Xue Wenshan, didn't follow the wrong person...... Xue Wenshan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and knelt down in front of Zhou Cang.

"Wenshan, you ......" Zhou Cang wanted to say, Wenshan, how can you kneel, but he was interrupted by a neat voice.

"The Lord"

Pei Yuanshao, Xue Baihu, Gu Erniu, Wang Tieniu, Li Ergou and others all knelt down in front of Zhou Cang.

Everyone returned to their hearts, but what Zhou Cang never expected was that the crisis that originally arose because of the food shortage was suddenly recognized by everyone.

Zhou Cang was excited all of a sudden, his mouth opened, and he didn't know what to say, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence with red eyes.

"Lao Tzu is not dead, you kneel a hairball!"

"Roll up and sit down......

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, and they all got up and sat down in their seats.

"The brothers' trust in me, I Zhou Cang keep it in my heart, as long as I Zhou Cang still has a breath, I will not leave any brother behind......"

"The problem of food is the biggest problem in our cottage at present, there is still a month to go into winter, if there is not enough food, it is estimated that there will be less than a few thousand people who can survive until the beginning of spring next year......"

"Lord, if we don't go and rob those big families in the county, those guys who are full of brains would rather put the grain away and throw it away than give it to the poor, so we should rob their ......"

Now that Zhou Cang is the master, for this upright man Xue Baihu, it is to hand over this life to Zhou Cang.

"Well, I think so too, if we want our brothers to survive this winter, there is only one way......"

"Report, big chief, there is a Hun knight army of about 500 people, and it will pass under the mountain in two hours."

A spy burst into the council chamber and got down on one knee to report to Zhou Cang the news that he had just spied on Dao.

"Hun soldiers?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

"No, now that it is still under the rule of the Han Dynasty, there should be no Xiongnu raiding states and counties, is it because of the butterfly effect caused by my crossing?" Zhou Cang secretly pondered in his heart.

If the leader of the Huns knew that Zhou Cang was thinking like this at this moment, he would probably say with contempt, "You think too much, if it weren't for the food shortage in our department this year, and it happened that Ding Yuan led the army to leave, Lao Tzu would not dare to plunder the state and county......"

Because Ding Yuan's army left, the defense was empty, and Liu Bao, the leader of the Southern Xiongnu, led his army to plunder and annex the state.

Historically, Liu Bao plundered the prefectures and counties when Li Qi and Guo Yan were fighting with each other, that is, around 194 AD. Maybe it's really because of Zhou Cang's crossing that history has a butterfly effect, and Cai Wenzhao's robbery has also been advanced.

Of course, these Zhou Cangs didn't know that this Hun army was led by Liu Bao.

"To rob or not to rob?" At this moment, the question is lingering in Zhou Cang's mind.
