Stepping up to the tower, the general who led the soldiers to defend the city immediately walked up.

"Your Highness!" Yue Feng saluted.

"Hmm." He Hui nodded.

For Yue Feng, He Hui still trusts him.

He was not like Wang Xiu, who was sent by the emperor to monitor, but offered to follow He Hui to Fancheng.

Yue Feng is a relatively old-fashioned person, when He Huan's mother was still alive, he was kind to him.

Later, his mother died of illness, and Yue Feng vowed to protect He Huan with his life.

For a person like Yue Feng, who has an old-fashioned personality, once he says his oath, it will be impossible for ten cows to pull it back.

It was also for this reason that when He Huan was about to go to Fancheng, he tried to persuade many people to no avail, and only Yue Feng offered to follow.

For the sake of face and the reason for the superficial work, the emperor Lao'er naturally agreed.

It's just that in the end, only a hundred soldiers were allowed to follow, and there were no more.

"How's it going?" He Hui asked.

"It's still the barbarian girl who calls herself the King of Mumu." Yue Feng said: "She threatened not to give a hundred catties of food, it is impossible to retreat!" ”

"One hundred pounds?" He Huan frowned, there is not much food for 100 catties, why only this is needed?

The most important thing is, why don't you hurry up and let them go, and continue to surround the city like this, I'm afraid the people will be uneasy.

He asked, "Wang Xiu, how much surplus grain is there in the granary?" ”

"Lord, the granary of Fancheng has long been emptied, and now only the batch of grain and grass that we brought back is left."

"Empty?" He Hui was stunned for a moment, and then said, "How much food did we bring at the beginning?" How long can it be enough for the people of the prosperous city? ”

"Lord, if we use the grain we brought at the beginning to release grain for disaster relief, the people of Fancheng are 2,000, even if they drink gruel every day, they can only support forty days." Speaking of the food problem, Wang Xiu's face was not very good-looking.

By now, he was completely dead, and the emperor didn't want him to go back alive at all.

This also made him more determined to follow He Huan.

It's just that he doesn't know how to solve the crisis in front of him now, even if he starts farming today, it will be a few months from the harvest day.

At that time, the food had already been exhausted, and the people did not know how much they would starve to death, and the saddest thing was that he might also die in this food crisis.

But the real crisis right now is not food, but the barbarians under the castle.

If they can't be forced back, there is no need to talk about the remaining forty days.

As long as they can force them back, it is a big deal that Wang Xiu himself is under the escort of the soldiers, and then get a few small rafts to cross the river to Yangcheng for help.

I believe that as long as the life and safety of the six princes are in danger, the Yangcheng County Guard will give a little food no matter what.

After all, no matter how much the emperor dislikes the six princes, it is a matter of the royal family.

And Yangcheng County guarded as a courtier of Great Xia, how could he do such an unfaithful and unrighteous thing.

…………

"Huh?!" He Huan was stunned for a moment, and only after carefully rummaging through his memory did he understand.

Because the city is surrounded by barbarians, and from time to time they come to harass for a while.

Every time they came to harass, they had only one purpose, that is, to ask for food, and if they didn't give it, they would make a move to attack the city.

How could a dilapidated city like Fancheng be able to withstand the siege of hundreds or thousands of barbarians, so it was able to obediently serve food every time.

It's just that the city is not big in the first place, and the population is not large, and there are not many fields that can be cultivated.

As for the outside of the city, no one dares to plant there at all.

Outside the city, there may be barbarians at any time, and there is no sense of security at all, and wild beasts will be infested at night, and the fields may be destroyed at any time.

Even if all the above dangers are overthrown, and when the grain is ripe, it will not be the turn of the people of the prosperous city to harvest it, and the barbarians will definitely be the first to take it.

In this way, the only way to do this is to set aside a field in the already small prosperous city to grow food.

The saddest thing is that the previous year's harvest was poor, and until now we are eating the surplus grain left over from the previous year.

The barbarians harassed from time to time, and before the new grain was planted, the old grain was already consumed.

Thinking of this, He Huan's brows furrowed even tighter.

I just crossed over, and I finally got a golden finger, and it was a golden finger for food, but I immediately encountered a food crisis.

If there is still some surplus grain, it is easy to say, at least now that the cultivation is carried out, with twice the speed of the harvest, the harvest can be premature.

But the barbarians still had to come to ask for food, and if they wanted to drive them away, they could only use the food they had brought.

It's just that if you send it like this, the barbarians will definitely come and ask for it again next time, and this repetition will be endless.

The problem will not be truly solved at all, and it will only fuel the arrogance of the barbarians, who think that the city is easy to bully.

Or they think that the people of Fancheng are their slaves who specialize in farming, and they can come here to ask for food when they have no food to eat.

Use the food he brought to them, He Hui didn't want to do this.

Thinking of this, He Hui took a step forward and stood on the not-so-high city tower looking down at the hundreds of barbarians below.

These barbarians were dark-skinned and didn't wear much on their bodies, all of them were rudimentary clothes made of animal skins, and most of their bodies were exposed.

The leader was a woman, riding a tall horse, and wearing little clothing, one piece of skin tightly around her breast, and another under her.

The waist and thighs are completely exposed.

The woman was armed with a wooden spear, wheat-skinned, and long hair tied haphazardly behind her head.

At first glance, it looks a bit like an Amazonian female warrior.

This brute girl also has a pair of horns on her head, but he didn't pay much attention to it, it is probably for decoration.

Seeing someone showing her head, the female warrior shouted at the top of her voice: "Whether to give food or not, give you some time, and if you don't get together a hundred catties of food, I will attack the city immediately!" ”

This barbarian girl's voice was very loud, as if she was playing a drum in her ears, which shocked He Harmony's brain a little.

He plucked out his ears and shouted, "There is no grain left in the city, and this month is the time for planting, so it is better to wait a few months for the people to cultivate and sow seeds." ”

Wang Xiu whispered in He Huan's ear: "Lord, the barbarians are uneducated, and it will not work to reason with them. ”

Without waiting for He Huo to answer, the barbarian girl continued to shout in a loud voice: "Me! I just came to get 200 catties of grain a few days ago, and it's only been a long time, how can it be gone! ”

She continued to shout: "Where are you a wild boy, don't deceive the old lady here, if you don't give food, the old lady will attack the city!" ”

"Bold barbarian, how dare you talk to Your Highness like this, looking for a fight!" He Huan was not angry yet, Yue Feng on the side was already angry, he immediately asked for his life, and said, "Your Highness, this barbarian girl is too rude, and let me go down and bring her up!" ”

"Okay." He Hui thought about it and nodded.

It should be really useless to reason with these barbarians, and the best way is to subdue them.

Yue Feng was also a palace guard at the beginning, and his military force was not bad, so it shouldn't be a problem to deal with a barbarian girl.

Seeing He Harmony nodding, Yue Feng lifted the big knife and jumped down directly, startling He Harmony into a cold sweat.

Although this wall is broken, and it is not high, it is five or six meters anyway, so you can jump directly and break your bones if you don't die, right?

When Yue Feng jumped, he made a lot of noise, shattering several pieces of the already dilapidated earthen wall.

He Huan stretched out his hand and pinched the earthen wall in front of him, and it was a piece when he broke it, which was similar to tofu dregs.

This is simply a dangerous building!
