Ao Cang ordered Chen Feng to inspect the whole city under the swarm of dozens of guests.

More than two months ago, there were continuous hungry people around Aocang, and now no less than 50,000 people have gathered!

Now is the time when the green and yellow are not harvested, most of the people in Liang have eaten up last year's autumn grain, and the spring grain that has just been sown has not yet reached the harvest season, coupled with the Chu and Han wars for many years, the grain sent by Peng Yue, the king of Liang, is extremely heavy, therefore, many families have been cut off, so they have come to Aocang, asking Aocang to open the warehouse and release grain.

There is food in Aocang, and the world knows it, and now these hungry people are pointing to the corn of Aocang to save their lives.

50,000 hungry people gathered around Aocang, how dare Chen Feng take it lightly? If it weren't for Lord Lu Ze, the Shou of Sanchuan County, who strictly ordered that the people not be killed, Chen Feng would have sent troops to forcibly drive the people away, but the grain of Ao Cang is the public grain of the national treasury, it is military food, and it is to supply the army of the King of Han, who would dare to fight the idea of this military ration?

Standing on the head of Ao Cang City and looking down the mountain, I saw that the wilderness was surrounded by sporadic firelight, and the vague sound of hungry people sobbing came from the wind. In reality, in the past two months, hundreds of hungry people have starved to death every day, and the lives of people in the troubled world are as cheap as dogs.

The doorman Hou Chang couldn't bear it, and persuaded: "My lord, why don't you put some food?" ”

"No way!" Chen Feng flatly refused, "Once the warehouse is opened to release grain, the hungry people in each county will definitely hear the news, and in the entire Liangdi, there are more than a million hungry people who have no food to eat?" Although there is a lot of grain stored in Aocang, it has to help millions of hungry people, and it can't last too long, and the grain is eaten by the hungry people, what will be used to supply the army of the Han King when the time comes? ”

Hou Chang sighed and stopped talking, thinking that he really couldn't blame Ao Cangling for being ruthless.

After Chen Feng finished his inspection, he instructed the doorman Zhang Chundao: "Zhang Chun, you will send messengers to Xingyang, Suoyi, Jingyi, Guangwu, and Chenggao respectively, and be sure to tell your lords that there are more and more hungry people gathered around Aocang, and the three thousand defenders in Aocang City alone are no longer enough to deal with it, so let them immediately send reinforcements over." ”

"No!" The doorman Zhang Chun agreed to the promise and immediately took the order.

Chen Feng took a group of guests down the city wall and went straight to the government office.

As soon as he entered the gate, a small official stepped forward and said mysteriously: "My lord, there is a guest visiting." ”

When he heard that a guest was visiting, he quickly straightened his clothes, and carefully dusted off the dust and grass clippings that fell on his robe, and then he entered the hall, and asked the little official under the door in a low voice: "Where did the guest come from?" ”

The little official under the door squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Your Excellency will know when you see it." ”

Chen Yan didn't ask any more questions, and immediately strode into the living room of the government office.

Sure enough, there were two people standing in the living room, one was slender, with a bewitching posture, with a plain white cloth on his head, dressed in a plain white deep coat with a collar and a straight coat, and the dark clouds and green silk were like a waterfall, and he turned out to be a little lady, and the other person was grown up, with a strong body, dressed in black clothes, and holding a long sword, like a samurai.

Hearing Chen's footsteps, the two turned around.

Chen Feng only felt that his eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw that the little lady's eyebrows were picturesque, like a fairy in the moon, so beautiful that even the dim living room became bright because of her, and when she looked at the man again, he was a middle-aged man, with a loyal face, and his face was full of wind and frost, and his body fell half a step behind the little lady, most of whom were guarded by her.

"Under Chen." Chen Yan looked deeply at the two of them at the moment, and said loudly, "I've seen the two." ”

"I heard that the Lord is a remnant of the Great Wei Dynasty, and he has always respected Xinling Jun, yes or no?" The little lady smiled quietly, as if a hundred flowers were blooming, Chen Feng only looked straight at it, and forgot to answer for a while.

"Indulge!" The middle-aged man was furious when he saw this, and he stretched out his hand to draw his sword.

"Don't be rude." The little lady hurriedly stopped the middle-aged man.

Chen Xuan woke up like a dream, and immediately apologized: "I have offended a lot, forgive my sins." ”

"The little woman does not believe in the way of Confucius and Mencius, and naturally there is no taboo against disrespect, if the adult thinks that the little woman's appearance is still eye-catching, it doesn't hurt to look more." The little lady smiled, and then reached out and quietly picked up a wisp of green silk in her ear, which became more and more charming, and said, "However, the adult has not answered the little girl's question." ”

Chen Feng didn't dare to look at it more, and replied with a sideways look: "I was indeed a Wei person in Xia, and I also admired Xinlingjun very much, but now there is no Great Wei." ”

"Nonsense!" The middle-aged man said angrily again, "The Great Wei royal family is still alive, and there is no day of revival in Anzhi?" ”

"Dongbo!" The little lady frowned at the moment, stopped the middle-aged man again, and then turned to Chen Feng and said, "My lord, if Xinling Jun is here, do you think he will watch the 50,000 hungry people under Ao Mountain starve to death?" ”

Chen Feng sighed and said: "The grain of Ao Cang is the public grain of the national treasury and the military grain, and I have no right to dispose of it without authorization. ”

The little lady said: "As the so-called matter is urgent, now the 50,000 hungry people under Ao Mountain are waiting to be fed, and hundreds of hungry people die of hunger every day. ”

"This ......" Chen Feng was speechless, although he knew that what this little lady said was wrong, but he couldn't refute it, if he refuted it, wouldn't he be saying that Liu Bang was unkind and unjust? He can't afford it!

"The little woman said all this, and the adults thought twice." After that, the little lady went straight away.

Chen Feng watched the little girl's bewitching figure disappear outside the gate of the government office, until he couldn't see anything, and then reluctantly retracted his gaze, but an inexplicable feeling of loss suddenly rose in his heart, he really wanted to catch up with the little lady and leave it, so that he did not hesitate to use force, but in the end he still controlled the ** in his heart.

In the final analysis, Chen Feng is an ambitious person, and he doesn't want to destroy the image of "Corporal Shixian" that he has built up with great difficulty.

Outside the Ao Cang Order, Xiao Niang and Dong Bo were urging the horse to walk slowly.

Dong Bo asked as he walked, "Princess, do you say that this Chen Feng will open a warehouse to release grain?" ”

"I don't know, although this Chen Feng is known as a virtuous person, I can't see through him." Xiao Niang shook her head, and said quietly, "However, that's all I can do for the people of Weidi." ”

Dongbo said solemnly: "Princess, if you are really thinking about the people of Great Wei, you should ascend to the heights and shout, gather the powerful clan of Wei, and restore the country for Great Wei!" ”

Xiao Niang shook her head again and sighed: "Uncle Dong, what Chen Xuan said is right, there is no Great Wei now, even if the powerful clan of Wei is gathered, even if the restoration of the country is successful, it is just a waste of provoking the sword soldiers, which will only bring greater disasters to the people of Wei." After saying this, the little lady said again, "Also, Uncle Dong, don't call me a princess in the future, the daughter of **, how dare you call me a princess?" Dongbo, from now on, you still call me Wuyang. ”

"This ......," Dongbo said in a panic, "how dare the old slave." ”

Xiao Niang sighed again, and said with a sad expression: "When my father was **, I was only ten years old, and I didn't understand anything, it was you who saved me from the fire, if it weren't for you, I was afraid that I would have been burned to death, and later, you taught me to read and write, and taught me to study the head of a hundred families, Dongbo, you are my elder, and I am your granddaughter, okay?" ”

"Princess." Dong Bo was also emotional, and said while wiping his tears, "If it weren't for the first king, the old slave would have starved to death when he was young, and the old slave once swore to the heavens, forever loyal to the Great Wei, and forever to protect the royal family, this is what the old slave should do, princess, if you say that again, the old slave is really ashamed." ”

The little lady didn't say much, and under the night sky, there was only a faint sigh.

In the mountains in the north, Xiang Zhuang was discussing with Wei Yu and Wu Shi the strategy of seizing Aocang.

Ao Cang is built by Qin Shi Huang, Wei Yu was the late Qin Taiwei, also inspected Ao Cang several times, the terrain there is quite a good understanding, Ao Cang is built on Ao Mountain, surrounded by the city outline, the city wall is more than five zhang high, the wall is a steep slope again, the net height is more than ten zhang, if you want to attack, then you will inevitably suffer heavy casualties!

What's worse is that I don't know how many defenders there are in Aocang City!

The three of them were thinking for a while, a rush of footsteps suddenly came, and when they looked back, they saw that Gongsun Sui had already strode into the cliff cave, and immediately saluted Xiang Zhuang, and then gasped and said: "General, the villain led people to spy on the situation of Ao Mountain overnight, and found that tens of thousands of hungry people had gathered under Ao Mountain!" ”

"Huh!?" Xiang Zhuang frowned when he heard this, "Tens of thousands of hungry people have gathered at the foot of Ao Mountain? ”

Wei Yi stroked his long beard under his chin, and suddenly smiled lightly: "General, God help me Dachu!" ”

Xiang Zhuang's heart moved, and he said in a deep voice: "Is the military advisor saying that Qiao disguised himself as a hungry person and attacked Aocang City?" ”

"Yes." Wei Yu nodded happily and said, "Aocang is built on the mountain, the city is high and the walls are thick, it is really easy to defend and difficult to attack, if our army does not use strange tricks and rashly attack, there will be many dead and wounded, and five hundred soldiers will die first, and I am afraid that there will be only a few left." ”

After saying this, Wei Yu said again: "Moreover, these tens of thousands of hungry people have also brought another benefit to Great Chu, and the general can take this opportunity to reverse the brutal and unkind image of the Chu army in one fell swoop!" ”

Wu Shi said: "The military advisor is saying that all the grain of Ao Cang will be given to these hungry people? ”

"It's not just these tens of thousands of hungry people, it's April right now, it's the time when the green and yellow are not available, once the news of the general's opening of the warehouse and releasing grain spreads, the people of Liangdi will definitely flock to it, and in a few days, the grain of Ao Cang will be distributed, and then the reputation of the Chu army's benevolence and righteousness has been completed, and Liu Bang will send a large army to come again, but he will not be able to recover the grain of Ao Cang!"

"Haha, good!" Xiang Zhuang laughed and said, "In this way, our Chu army has a reputation as a benevolent and righteous division in Liangdi, and the Han army, hehe, has become a brutal army that burns and kills and plunders, compared with the two, the people of Liangdi will definitely hate Liu Bang and the Han army, and Peng Yue will have a headache after returning to the division, hahaha." ”
