As early as yesterday evening, when Chen Gong saw that the situation was wrong, he had already sent a martial artist to find Song Zhong, as the biggest leader of the Yellow Turbans in Qiguo County, Qingzhou, a large number of Yellow Turban troops outside Fengxiang Town, it would be strange if Song Zhong didn't know about it. To read the latest chapters, please lock in Aishang Novel Network biquge.info{Aishang Novel Network www23hh.cc} At least Ah Niu definitely doesn't think Song Zhong is innocent.
The martial artist sent out returned, bringing Song Zhong's "explanation". was dazed by Ah Niu's "violent troops" last time, and now Song Zhong is still robbed by Ah Niu's prestige.
Song Zhong's statement is: The successive natural disasters before the uprising have consumed the Han warehouse, and with the increasing number of Yellow Turbans, the food in the imperial court towns is no longer enough to feed so many Yellow Turban Army. Under the strong protest of the belly, the Yellow Turban Army is spontaneously looking for food, and this is the case with the Yellow Turban Army outside Fengxiang Town.
Ah Niu was very dissatisfied with this, so many Yellow Turbans "spontaneously" came out to find food, so did the Yellow Turban Army still fight? However, after synthesizing other information, Ah Niu had to reluctantly accept this explanation.
Not only Fengxiang Town, but other lord player territories have also been favored by the Yellow Turban recently. The Yellow Turbans' approach was also "civilized" - they just asked for food, but if such "reasonable" demands were not met, it was not uncommon for them to use violence after being humiliated. The crux of the matter is that the lord is not equal to the landlord, and the family is really not very wealthy.
Most of the lords belonged to the ranks of the poor, and it was not enough to earn some money, but it was not enough to engage in construction. If there is a lot of food, it is understandable to take it out as a "protection fee", if the warehouse is relatively empty, then bloodshed is almost inevitable, and the combat effectiveness of the hungry Yellow Turban Army has increased by more than ten times! The number of lords who have been destroyed in these days has also skyrocketed.
Ah Niu's territory is basically calm, and the first two battles have given Fengxiang Town a certain deterrent in the ordinary Yellow Turban Army. Now the yellow scarves outside Fengxiang Town are basically women and children, and the strong men who can launch violent food requisition have basically gone to other territories, and there seems to be no place for them here.
There was "harmony" outside Fengxiang Town, and these yellow scarves fully understood the essence of "non-violence and non-cooperation", and they had a lot of fun with "sit-ins and demonstrations".
From this point of view, it seems that it is okay to keep the status quo, anyway, the Yellow Turban Army does not have the will and ability to attack, and Ah Niu's territory will not be substantially threatened.
At first, Ah Niu also thought so, since the feng shui of Fengxiang Town is good, it can attract so many "guests" to come for sightseeing, and it is not good to sweep others out of the house, as long as you don't make trouble. But the next situation suddenly made Ah Niu's face sink like water.
Although so many old and weak women and children will not attack Ah Niu's territory, whether it is a man, a woman, an old man, a villain, a sick person, or a healthy person, they all have the most basic needs: to eat!
As a "traveler", of course, it is impossible to carry too much dry food with him, in fact, it seems that the Yellow Turban Army only brought a day's worth of food, and from yesterday to now, these dry foods have been almost consumed, and the rest ...... It seems that the owner should be allowed to do some landlordish friendship.
****************************
When the Yellow Turban sent someone to negotiate, Ah Niu, who was overly grieved and angry, almost fainted.
Of course, Ah Niu could flatly refuse, the Yellow Turban Army in front of him could not pose any threat to Fengxiang Town at all, but this tempting idea was eventually abandoned. A series of possible consequences after refusal, Ah Niu is really unwilling to bear.
First of all, there is the impact on reputation. So far, Ah Niu's reputation among NPCs is quite good, but if Ah Niu refuses the most basic survival needs of these "defenseless old and weak sick and disabled women", then Ah Niu's reputation will immediately fall to the freezing point, and the name of "benevolence and righteousness" is almost a foregone conclusion! Even if these refugees were rebels against the imperial court, peasants who were forced by the imperial court to rebel.
Second, the balance with the yellow turbans that has been worked hard to maintain will be upset. Although he defeated Song Zhong's team, Ah Niu was not carried away by the victory, and it was true that Fengxiang Town almost won the victory last time, but he basically used all his strength. Of course, there are more than a few Yellow Turban Army in Qiguo County, and the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou has reached 500,000, and there are millions of people in the whole country...... The consequences of just angering Qingzhou's yellow scarves are not something that Fengxiang Town can digest.
Third, the attraction of the territory to the displaced people will be forcibly suspended. The battle has been going on for so long, and the lord players have come up with some patterns, one of which is that when fighting near a territory, the outcasts will not appear until the war ends, and it will not gradually refresh until a while after the war ends, and it will take a process for the number of people to return to normal conditions. After rejecting the Yellow Turban's request, the situation developed to the point that violent confrontation was basically inevitable, and although the population of Fengxiang Town was quite large, Ah Niu would never be too much about it.
After some painful struggle, Ah Niu sighed, but still accepted the fate of "being slaughtered", and promised to provide some food for the yellow turban women and children outside the town. The people sent by the Yellow Turban to negotiate went back with great gratitude.
As soon as the Yellow Turban Army envoy left, a smile appeared on the face of Ah Niu, who was still in pain, and Chen Gong next to him tightened: "Could it be that the lord can't stand this kind of stimulation?" Food is all bought with money! "Chen Gong still has a deep understanding of Ah Niu, which may indicate that the righteous heart is like a knife.
But this time Chen Gong was worried in vain, and Ah Niu did feel good now.
This time the provision of grain is obviously a move to cut meat, but the advantage of Ah Niu is not so easy to take advantage of. Even if he couldn't be sure whether this incident was a conspiracy of the Yellow Turban Army, Ah Niu still thought about it.
Although Fengxiang Town agreed to provide some food, it was still up to Ah Niu to decide how much this "some" was. In fact, the food provided by Fengxiang Town could only ensure that the Yellow Turban Army outside the town could eat for three days, and it was in the case of "one meal a day"! Chen Gong didn't raise his eyelids: "Fengxiang Town doesn't have much grain in stock, and the food consumed by more than 10,000 villagers in the territory every day is really not a small amount, and it is already very good to be able to take out so much." ”
The implication is that it's okay to give some food, but it's impossible to eat three meals a day to get fat. The yellow scarves have no better way to do this, and they don't have much say in the first place.
Ah Niu is waiting for the Yellow Turban's reaction.
For this "non-violent non-cooperation", Ah Niu did not think that it was an accidental phenomenon, in fact, after consulting with Chen Gong, it was agreed that the atmosphere of conspiracy was very obvious. The meager food provided this time was not because Ah Niu was too stingy, it was completely an act of temptation.
Soon, in the yellow scarf outside Fengxiang Town, a middle-aged man did not leave, completely unaware that he was followed by a senior martial artist in Fengxiang Town.
