Early the next morning, Liu Yu's quartermaster, Wang Si, hurried over and reported bad news to Wei Meng.

"General, we're running out of food."

The king's face was ugly, and he said dejectedly:

"According to our appetite, we will eat for another three days at most."

Liu Yu only felt a thunderbolt from the sky for a moment, and these grains were some of the remaining military rations in Baozhong City before.

After more than half a month of Liu Yu, he finally couldn't stand it.

A few days ago, more than 500 wounded soldiers were sent away, and Liu Yu thought that he could hold out for a few more days, but it turned out that in the end he was still short of food.

Immediately, Liu Yu thought of the strategy mentioned by Liu Yin, to rob the Qiang people.

The Qiang people are now in Hanzhong, not only herding, but also farming.

It has to be said that in this era, the integration of Qiang and Han is a general trend, and when these Qiang people get along with the Han people, not only the language behavior is changing, but even the most fundamental way of survival has undergone great changes.

It is believed that if this continues for another 200 years, these alien races will be completely integrated into the Han nationality.

It's just a pity that at this time, the Chinese nation ushered in the most dynasty, the Jin Dynasty of the Sima family.

It was this weak Jin Dynasty that plunged China into darkness for two hundred years, and the alien races that were originally subjugated because the Han people were strong all turned around.

The wanton massacre of the Han people and the struggle for living space led to this Qiang and Han fusion, which turned into the most bloody and brutal passive fusion.

However, there is no way for these Liu Yu, and the top priority now is to solve the problem of hunger first.

Liu Yu immediately summoned Liu Yin to discuss the specific plan to plunder the Qiang people.

Liu Yu was hypocritical before, but now for himself and his brothers, this robbery has to be done.

Liu Yin arrived soon and couldn't help but be a little surprised to see that Wang Hei was also there.

Then he asked straight to the point:

"I don't know what the general called the lowly post to come?"

"We're running out of food, it's time to think about it."

Liu Yu didn't hide it from Liu Yin, and directly told Liu Yin about the current situation:

"I wonder if the thing you said last time will work?"

Last time, Liu Yu only had more than a hundred personal guards under him, and that was definitely not the opponent of those Qiang people.

However, now that Liu Yu has more than 500 elite soldiers, the situation is very different.

As the saying goes, with a sharp weapon, the murderous intent arises.

Since this era doesn't allow you to live well, then take your brother to fight a bloody way.

But this time, Liu Yin shook his head, and said mysteriously:

"General, that incident last time was too risky."

"There is a better idea for the lowly position, we can do a big vote this time!"

After speaking, Liu Yin glanced at Wang Hei with a vague expression, and the meaning was very obvious.

Wang Hei immediately reacted, bowed down and said:

"Since the two adults have something important, I will retire first."

was about to leave, but was stopped by Liu Yu and said:

"Wait, since you chose to follow me, then you will be a brother of life and death from now on, so you don't have to shy away from it."

"Maybe we'll need you later, so you'll listen here."

Wang Hei looked moved, and hugged his fist at Liu Yu.

Liu Yu motioned for Liu Yin to continue, and when Liu Yin saw Liu Yin say this, he no longer shied away, but said:

"Does the general know that this ramp behind us has always been a very valuable trade route before the Prime Minister's Fifth Northern Expedition?"

"Trade routes?"

Liu Yu faintly thought of something and said:

"You mean, Liangzhou horse?"

Liangzhou horse, as the name suggests, is the horse produced in Liangzhou.

But why did Liangzhou Malaysia appear in Shuhan?

That is naturally the smuggling business, Liangzhou horse is the world's first-class good horse, and Shu Han lacks good horses, Liangzhou horse is naturally very popular.

Because of the relationship between the two countries, a good horse in Liangzhou originally only cost ten taels of silver, but in Shuhan, it directly doubled by twenty times, two hundred taels and one horse, and even had no price.

And the Shu brocade of Shu Han is also deeply loved by those dignitaries and nobles in Luoyang.

In this way, the benefits of smuggling are undoubtedly huge.

Confucius once said:

If an industry, if there is a ten percent profit, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere;

With twenty percent profit, it becomes active; With a 50 percent profit, it takes a risk;

For the sake of 100 percent profit, it tramples on all human laws; With a profit of 300 percent, it dares to commit any crime, even risking hanging its head.

Smuggling has always been the most profitable industry.

The Baochuan Road is the closest road to Hanzhong and Guanzhong, and it was also one of the favorite roads of smugglers before Zhuge Liang's Fifth Northern Expedition.

"What does Brother Liu mean, let's watch the mountains and eat the mountains, and go to block the slope?"

Liu Yin nodded invisibly and said:

"The mountains are high and the forests are deep, and our brothers are all killed from the Baochuan Road, so naturally we are extremely familiar with it."

"We are home there, as long as we ambush in advance to ensure that no one in the caravan leaves alive, then our food crisis can be solved."

Hearing Liu Yin's analysis, Liu Yu was a little hesitant.

In these years, those who dare to come out to do smuggling are all people with deep backgrounds, otherwise in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, they dare to come out to do business, or the dangerous work of smuggling, they have long been eaten by others and there are no bones left.

If you attack these caravans, then in the future, will you be able to escape the pursuit of these people with hands and eyes?

Just when Liu Yu hesitated, Wang Hei reminded on the side:

"General, we have no way back, we can only give it a go."

Liu Yu woke up, yes, the thief God didn't give himself more choices at all.

Without food, let alone ambition, even the 500 brothers who followed him would be separated in an instant.

After all, it is impossible for these people to follow themselves and starve to death.

That being the case, what is there to hesitate about?

Thinking of this, Liu Yu's heart came up ruthlessly, and he said to Liu Yin:

"Then in the past few days, Brother Liu will work hard and send more people to find out the news of the Baochuan Road smuggling team."

"When the king's heir goes down, he shall first borrow some grain from the people of the city, and take the sword from the camp as collateral."

"Wait until it's done, and then redeem it."

"Remember, you can't force yourself to come, and it's not easy for these people."

Liu Yin and Wang Hei glanced at each other, then clenched their fists slightly, and then slowly withdrew from the camp.

After the two left, Liu Yu knew that some things could not be avoided after all.

In that case, it's time to make more preparations for this matter.

Liu Yu's consciousness slowly immersed himself in the system, constantly browsing the miscellaneous pages, hoping to find the items he needed from them.

Looking at the various items inside, Liu Yu searched for a long time, and even when he was a little dazzled, an item suddenly met Liu Yu's eyes, which made Liu Yu happy in his heart, and he was sure that this was what he needed.

I saw the item information on it, and wrote:

[Transparent crystal ball: pure glass products, the work is of excellent quality, without a trace of impurities. 】

[Price: 3,000 points.] 】

Without hesitation, Wei Meng immediately bought a crystal ball of this kind.

When the palm-sized crystal ball appeared in his hand, looking at the crystal ball that was crystal clear and shining in the sun, Liu Yu was very satisfied.

In an instant, Liu Yu wanted to exchange this crystal ball for silver, and then help himself tide over this difficulty.

But after thinking about it, Liu Yu finally resisted the impulse in his heart.

This thing, Liu Yu has other plans, it may be the key to his future registration, and it must not be used so easily.

Otherwise, with your own points, you will not be able to buy it again.

With apprehension, Liu Yu hid the crystal ball, and then walked out of the room and began to continue training with his men.

Three days have passed in a blink of an eye, but fortunately, Wang Hei and the people in the city borrowed some food, otherwise Liu Yu's army would have run out of food now.

However, the people's little food is only enough for two days at most, and if there is no progress within two days, Liu Yu's army will be completely out of food.

At that point, Liu Yu may have to use the backup plan.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu began to feel anxious in his heart, but Liu Yin has not come back since he left last time, and there has been no news from Bao Shudao, which makes Liu Yu a little upset.

While Liu Yu was anxiously waiting, a personal guard finally ran into Liu Yu's room from outside the city and reported good news to Liu Yu.
