Chapter 12 - The people of Shanyue are not having a good time

Just when Haichang County was distributing grain, in a mountain forest hundreds of miles away from Haichang County, the hidden people of Shanyue were not having a good time at this time.

The drought is not limited to Haichang alone, but the lack of precipitation covers nearly half of the Jiangdong region.

The heat and lack of precipitation make the land of Koto, which was supposed to be the land of fish and rice, seem lifeless at the moment.

In any case, there is a surplus of grain in the granary, and even if you are unwilling to open the warehouse immediately to release grain, there will not be too much famine.

What's more, Sun Quan, who is the lord of Jiangdong, is not an idiot, with the assistance of Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, Sun Quan will also order the exemption of rent and taxes, and open a warehouse to release grain to help the people under his rule.

As for whether the people below will do that, it's hard to say.

But no matter what, it has to be said that under normal circumstances, there will be no such thing as eating easily.

Of course, if there are officials like the previous county magistrate in Haichang County, it is difficult to say.

Even the common people will be like this, let alone the people of Shanyue who have been hiding between the mountains and forests.

Today, the people of Yamakoshi, who have fallen into famine due to lack of food, gather in the mountains and forests to discuss what to do in the future.

Wu Cai, who was the leader of the Shanyue people in this mountain forest, glanced at the Shanyue people gathered together, and couldn't help but rub his head: "Let's talk about it, what should we do next!" ”

"What else can I do, now that everyone can't eat, of course we have to find a way to get some food!"

"Tian Mao, aren't you talking nonsense? Everyone knows that they should find a way to get food at this time, but where will it come from? ”

Tian Mao snorted coldly and glanced at the person who spoke: "Do you still need to say this?" Of course, it's to grab it! ”

"Where to grab it?" Someone in the crowd said, "With our current strength, it is impossible to get food from the city!" ”

"Then let's go grab the caravan!" Tian Mao looked around at the crowd, rolled his eyes, and replied, "The grain in those cities will definitely not last long, there will definitely be caravans to receive food, we just need to ambush these caravans in the middle of the road!" ”

When everyone heard Tian Mao's words, they couldn't help but fall silent.

After a while, someone spoke up and said, "But generally large caravans have guards, and we don't have food to replenish our physical strength now, how can we beat the guards hired by those caravans!" ”

Tian Mao glanced at everyone disdainfully, and said, "I said you are not stupid, we can choose those small caravans!" ”

"Those caravans are not rich people, they just want to make a profit from them, where can they afford to hire guards!"

"What do you think, Chief?"

After saying that, Tian Mao turned his gaze to Wu Cai, and the rest of the people did the same.

Wu Cai felt the gaze of everyone, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he thought carefully about the possibility of what Tian Mao said.

Just when Wu Cai was thinking, a citizen of Shanyue suddenly broke into the council room.

Everyone looked at the person who suddenly broke in, their brows couldn't help frowning, and their hearts couldn't help but rise.

They knew very well that no one could be disturbed at this time.

But at this time, someone broke in, which can only show that outside this conference hall, something important has happened that people have to report.

The intruder walked through the crowd, came straight to Wu Cai's side, and whispered in his ear.

When Wu Cai heard the words in his ears, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and shouted, "What did you say?" Two more people died of hunger? ”

When everyone heard my exclamation, their hearts couldn't help but become heavy.

They had to make a decision, and if they continued like this, sooner or later all the people of Shanyue who were hiding in the mountains and forests would starve to death.

After hearing the words of the intruder, Wu Cai seemed to have lost the strength of his whole body, and couldn't help but paralyze his body.

Glancing at the intruder standing beside him, Wu Cai waved his hand and said, "I know, you retreat first!" ”

After hearing Wu Cai's words, the intruder couldn't help but glance at it, then nodded and turned to leave.

After the intruder left the council hall, Wu Cai looked at Tian Mao and the others, and said slowly: "I think you should have heard it just now, yes, two more clansmen died of hunger, and there is not much time left for us!" ”

"If we don't want to die in this mountain forest, we have to do something!"

As soon as Wu Cai's words fell, everyone immediately stepped forward, saluted Wu Cai, and said, "Chief, just say what we should do!" ”

After looking around at the crowd, Wu Cai took a deep breath, and then slowly spoke: "Just like Tian Mao said, go down the mountain and rob the grain carried by those small caravans!" ”

"Anyway, those people are not good people, thinking of taking advantage of the drought to make money, it is better to give it to us directly!"

……

In the month following Wu Cai's decision, every small caravan passing through here was robbed by the people of Shanyue.

Although Wu Cai and others also robbed a lot of food, the price they paid for it was not small.

And because of the frequent activities, the existence of the people of Shanyue was also known by the nearby Haichang County.

Lu Xun sat in Xueyun's mansion, and after taking a sip of tea, he turned his gaze to Xueyun: "Yingfeng, you should have heard the news too!" ”

Xue Yun heard Lu Xun's words, glanced at Lu Xun, and said with a chuckle: "Do you mean those people of Shanyue?" Of course, I heard the news, but I just robbed some small caravans! ”

Lu Xun didn't agree with Xueyun's words, shook his head, and said: "I don't see it that way, I think they are very likely to fight Haichang County's idea!" ”

Xue Yun frowned: "If that's the case, I'm afraid it's a little troublesome!" ”

"But how did you come up with the idea that those Shanyue rebels would fight Haichang County?" Xueyun glanced at Lu Xun and asked, "Although these Shanyue rebels often come to harass Haichang County, they have never breached Haichang once, do they really have the courage to attack the city?" ”

Lu Xun pondered for a while and said, "It's not impossible! The actions of these Shanyue people now show that they have no food, and the food carried by these small caravans is absolutely impossible to support the Shanyue people through this famine. ”

"When they are cornered, they will definitely find a way to get more food!"

Hearing Lu Xun's words, Xueyun shrugged his shoulders and smiled at Lu Xun: "It seems that the people of Shanyue are not having a good time!" ”
