Qi Heng's words just now are useful to those hungry people who are still somewhat sensible, but they are useless to those who are already extremely hungry.

But when these people saw the long sword that Qi Heng drew out, they seemed to be intimidated by the edge of the long sword, and temporarily resisted the impulse in their hearts.

Qi Heng waited quietly for the girl to finish eating the bun, and then took out a pot of water and handed it to her.

In just a moment, the girl's eyes gradually became bright.

"Are your loved ones gone?"

The girl shook her head, but looked at the grandmother next to her and nodded again.

"Then would you like to go with your brother? My brother has a lot of buns you just ate. ”

In this troubled era, it is still a year of famine and disaster.

Where has the girl ever eaten such a delicious white flour bun, and she wants to go with Qi Heng, but she looks at the corpse of her grandmother next to her and hesitates.

Qi Heng was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "Grandma is dead, my brother will ask someone to help bury her body and erect a monument." ”

Hearing this, the girl lowered her head.

Qi Heng stretched out his hand in front of the girl, who hesitated, but still handed her little hand over.

Reluctantly looked at his grandmother's corpse and left with Qi Heng.

Along.

Qi Heng could see the bones everywhere with nowhere to put them, and it was not an exaggeration to say that this was not a town but a mass grave.

The houses on both sides of the street also fell and collapsed.

Several tree poles and bark were also stripped and eaten.

Qi Heng is not the Holy Mother, although it is a little uncomfortable to see this scene, but it is not the first time I have seen such a scene.

In these days, where is the paradise again.

It's just that the girl next to him really makes him feel distressed.

Whether it was in the past life or in this life, for children, especially those who were well-behaved, Qi Heng couldn't bear to hurt them.

It is said that no snowflake is innocent at the time of an avalanche.

But even if everyone in this world is at fault, the fault is that they did not choose a good master and did not resist the invasion of the Yuan army.

But children are innocent.

What's wrong with them.

But the reality is that he can only try to help what is in front of him, as for the world, it is too big.......

That night, after Qi Heng came to the camp where the army was stationed, he discussed with Zhu Yuanzhang about the soup kitchen.

Although there was not much food for the army to go out of the city this time, and if there was no profit, he might be hungry, Zhu Yuanzhang still agreed to Qi Heng's proposal and took out part of the grain escorted by the army to give porridge.

There are not many people in the city of Huanggang, and the specific number of people has long been recorded.

The previous county office was also the same as the dilapidated house outside.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, it happened to record the information of the people in the city.

Since they are here, they can't be like Sun Deya and them before, and let this place go down again.

Moreover, this will be the base of their army in the future, and no matter what the future holds, they will live here at least for a short time.

An army, whether it is a righteous army or a Yuan army, cannot get rid of the people.

Only the strength and weapons, no matter how many, are just rootless grass, and only when they are firmly bound to the land under their feet and the people living on the land can they become a force.

Night.

The brothers got together again, this was the first time they had eaten together since leaving Haozhou City, but they were not in a good mood.

After experiencing Haozhou City, the situation is not as good as when he was in Dingyuan County.

At the very least, most of the people there can barely make ends meet, and they don't have enough to eat, but they don't starve to death.

It's so much stronger than here.

When they entered the city, everyone saw the scene in the city, and it was hard to imagine how long they would have to live with these people in the future.

Of course, everyone does not look down on them, everyone is from a peasant background, and they can understand the situation of these people better than others.

It's just that it's not a good place for them to live.

It is also not conducive to the development of their army.

Looking at the appearance of everyone, Zhu Yuanzhang knew what everyone was thinking, but as the coach, he still said as usual: "Brothers, don't look like this, think about the first time we came out of Haozhou City, we slept in the open air, and we didn't even have a place to rest, didn't we just play out?" ”

"Although this Huanggang is indeed dilapidated, there is still a tile above this head that shelters from the rain."

"Don't worry, we Zhu Yuanzhang promised you that in less than half a year, we will still be the strong party in Huaixi!"

At this time, Tang He said: "Big brother, in fact, we are not too worried about the future, we are all people from the sword mountain and the sea of fire, so we will start all over again, and now we still have 5,000 soldiers and horses." ”

"It's just that this time we didn't have much food with the army, and there were so many brothers under our command to eat, if we couldn't find a way out for a while, we might not be able to eat. I think that Guo Dashuai in Haozhou City will definitely not be kind enough to send us food. ”

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang is not unaware of Tang He's worries.

After mentioning this issue, Zhu Yuanzhang's face was also a little anxious.

Especially after giving porridge to the people outside, the pressure on food is even greater.

After all, soup kitchens are not a matter of two meals.

Before you find food for the people, you have to give every day.

If they don't give a day, they will starve for a day.

Therefore, this is also the reason why Sun Deya and others did not care after coming here.

You can't do anything.

And the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang agreed this time was also because Qi Heng spoke.

Although Tang He's words did not mean to accuse Qi Heng, he was obviously still a little dissatisfied with the matter of soup porridge.

At this time, Xu Da may have seen that everyone's mood was not too good, and he said directly in a rough voice: "What kind of big deal is this?" Isn't it just food, what's in a hurry, let's eat first, it's not enough, let's go and rob the Yuan army. No matter how bad it is, let's go back to Haozhou directly! ”

Xu Da, who was originally just trying to ease the atmosphere, was suddenly glared at by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang would not take the initiative to do anything to Haozhou.

At this time, Qi Heng, who had never spoken, suddenly asked Tang He, "Brother Tang, how much food do we have now?" ”

Tang He thought for a while and said, "If we stop giving porridge tomorrow, it will be enough for our army to eat for more than 20 days, save a little, a month." ”

"If you continue to give porridge, even if you follow the amount of one meal a day, it will be half a month at most. Not only that, but now that autumn is approaching, and winter is about to come, this food is even more of a problem. ”

Hearing Tang He's words, Qi Heng nodded, and began to think about it in his heart.

Originally, Qi Heng didn't want to speak, make less work, show less, and know points in the future, maybe he can still save his life in the future.

However, this time it was his idea to give porridge, so that the army had less food, and it was indeed a little uncomfortable.
