Chapter 3: I want to change my life
Attacking the cottage early in the morning, Liu Chan and the others were full in advance, but the bandits and the old and weak women and children were still hungry at this time.
After lighting a fire in the cottage on the spot to make rice, and after men, women, and children sharing food together, they brought the remaining food and materials, and began to descend the mountain one after another under the arrangement of Liu Chan's people.
Similar things have been done many times, and the military marquis just now is arranged in an orderly manner, and Liu Chan doesn't have to worry about it at all.
The position of this military marquis was appointed by Liu Chan privately, and it is not considered a regular establishment.
In fact, the troops under Liu Chan's command are strictly speaking just private soldiers raised by him.
After all, he himself doesn't have a half-official position at this time, he is only a second-generation official.
β¦β¦
On the way down the mountain, Liu Chan rode a rare black horse in the team.
The horse looks like it's still underage, but when it does, it's even more powerful.
The soldiers marching in line were silently vigilant around, rarely talking to each other.
The appearance of this purged army was very different from other armies that Hu Li had seen, and it was by no means something that could be dispatched by the local county.
The so-called county soldiers are only responsible for maintaining internal security, and it is impossible for them to have such strong combat effectiveness.
Not to mention military discipline or something.
There was just one point, but Hu Li was a little worried.
The team had been gone for a long time, but he had not found what he should have been able to seeβthe grain and grass that had been transported.
There are at least four or five hundred people in these armor soldiers, and according to the minimum standard of two catties of grain per day, they will consume a thousand catties a day (the catties that appear here and later are all Han catties, and one catty is about half a catty in modern times, and it will not be marked separately).
He thought that Liu Chan had set up another camp nearby to store food for safety, but it didn't seem to be.
If you don't have food, why do you have to bring the old and the weak?
At this time, he will inevitably have some bad associations, after all, in this cannibalistic year, the word cannibalism is not just an adjective.
It has been two years since Liu Bei launched the Battle of Hanzhong, and Xichuan, which was originally known as the country of abundance, is no longer as good as it was at the beginning.
The lord didn't kill them just now, could it be that he wanted to keep it for his brothers to add some meat......
He led the horse to the side, a little unbearable to stand the quiet slaughter in the team, but he didn't dare to take the initiative to speak, and he was very uncomfortable.
Liu Chan was not interested in his cranky thoughts at this time, but the other party's favorability had only risen to 50, and there was obviously still potential for development.
It's understandable that I just drew a pie for him.
When will this cake become a reality, if the other party is really grateful to Dade for eating it, it will be possible to transform it into a higher favorability.
Past experience tells Liu Chan that it is not a simple matter to increase his favorability.
First of all, there is no point in being a licking dog in this day and age.
This is the lesson of blood and tears that Liu Chan summed up in his past failures.
His father was scolded for knitting straw hats for Zhuge in his early years, and Liu Chan was also scolded for taking the initiative to fan the military advisor when he saw that it was hot......
There are many similar lessons, which have become a black history that cannot be looked back.
Licking a dog can only be seen as a sign of lack of ambition and lack of interest.
Finding ways to make people appreciate and admire, and sometimes even need a certain amount of fear, is the royal way to brush up on goodwill.
In order to increase Hu Li's favorability, it is still necessary to communicate more.
What's more, those that can trigger the favorability prompt are generally available talents, so it's good to know more.
So Liu Chan chuckled and said: "Hu Li, I think you have dealt with officers and soldiers, and your father once led the people to fight with the armies. From your point of view, how is the combat power of my troops? β
Seeing that Liu Chan took the initiative to talk, Hu Li hurriedly laughed and said: "Back to the lord, the lord's divine soldiers descended from the sky, and the soldiers were heroic, and they were all ...... with one hundred."
"I'll give you another chance, to be honest."
"Uh......" Seeing Liu Chan's face, Hu Lis was stunned, and he was still a little worried that he would be made into adult dried meat food, "The villain's vision is limited, but compared to what my dad saw and heard back then, the elite of each family is nothing more than that." β
"Hmm." Liu Chan smiled at this time.
"Even so, the lord was able to break through the cottage without spending a single soldier, and he was really like a god."
It's not that Hu Li is a sycophant, he really didn't figure it out.
The cottage was built on the mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and his father set up several sentry posts in the mountains and forests that year, echoing each other with the village.
You said that you have hundreds of people to break through the cottage, even if you say that the young people in the village are not the old yellow scarves of the past, and they are indeed less powerful.
But how can you be beaten to the gate of the village to know yourself? How can they not die alone?
Liu Chan pouted, he wanted to use these people to do big things.
If you have suffered heavy losses by suppressing a bandit, then you might as well have fun for decades, and when the country is ruined, you will be happy and over.
Of the 510 people he led, except for 10 of them, the other 500 people were neither Lao Liu's Bai Yu soldiers, nor the Wudang Fei Army that had not yet been formed.
These are all the privileges that he Liu Chan had obtained with great difficulty from Lao Liu and the military advisor, personally formed and brought them out single-handedly.
Based on the refugees who fled to Xichuan, they recruited young and strong, and after training, they were pulled out to suppress bandits, and then gradually absorbed the bandits from all over the country who were defeated and surrendered.
Liu Chan's capital is limited, and in line with the principle that soldiers are expensive and not too expensive, in a few years, the survival of the fittest and thousands of selections have brought about today's 500 people.
He made an agreement with Zhuge Junshi that the food, equipment, and even the resettlement of their relatives for these people would be Liu Chan's own money, and no public funds could be used.
After spending so much effort, how can you die here so easily?
"Haven't you noticed that there are more people going up to the mountains to chop wood and hunt lately? Did you see them come down before nightfall? I already know the topography of the neighborhood. β
Liu Chan pursed his lips and did not hide his contempt, "You send people out of the village to get water, and from the frequency and amount of water, you can calculate the approximate number of people in the village, and then it is not difficult to calculate the young and strong who can fight." As for the sentry...... Those few broken sheds are also called sentry posts? β
With this anti-reconnaissance consciousness, what is surprising about being served by oneself?
Hu Li was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly smiled bitterly.
But he didn't think that he was doing badly, but admired the young lord even more.
β¦β¦
As the two talked from time to time on the road, the fear and tension in Hu Li's heart gradually disappeared.
Although this lord has some bad rumors, when he actually comes into contact, he doesn't look like he can eat people.
He finally had the courage to ask the doubts in his heart.
"Lord, where are we going?"
"It's been more than a month since I went out this time, and it's time to go back to Chengdu." Liu Chan calculates the days, and if there is no accident, it is estimated that the battle of Hanzhong of his father Lao Liu is about to come to an end.
Lao Liu, who is nearly sixty years old, has been crawling and rolling for most of his life, and he is hunted down and killed every time he meets Boss Cao.
This time I gambled everything, and finally had the capital to stud with Boss Cao in Hanzhong.
And in the end, the eyebrows were raised, and the salted fish turned over.
In the future, Lao Liu will also be called the king of Hanzhong, and usher in the highest moment of Uncle Guan's life, the Battle of Xiangfan and the flooding of the Seventh Army.
History: Yu, Megatron China!
However, Lao Liu's short-term happiness not only came suddenly, but also went even more suddenly.
Next year, Fazheng will hang up, Huang Zhong will hang up, Dongwu will be backstabbed, the second uncle will defect to the enemy, Guan Erye will be killed in battle, Zhang Sanye will be killed, and Yiling will be fired......
Ji Han didn't seem to have been stabbed in the back by Soochow, but by God, ushering in the rapid vertical decline of the national fortunes.
Even if it is the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang's ancestral masterpiece, Lao Liu, who is full of life-saving skills, is about to fall ill, the White Emperor is lonely, and the middle way collapses.
Liu Chan is now tossing with his life, that is, in the near future, he will also stud.
Bet on your own fate and Ji Han's national fortunes.
Although Liu Chan in history had a good life of eating and drinking, he could die well in the enemy country.
But no matter where you are, all your life, you are just a mascot-like existence.
is an emperor, and even the life of the harem has to be controlled.
When he dies and goes underground, when he sees his father Liu Bei, the only thing he can brag about is only - my son Liu Chen is more than your son Liu Chan......
Such a life is absolutely unacceptable to this soul today.
But he tried the way to go to the upper class, but it didn't work.
In the final analysis, he is too young to take anything seriously.
can't do things that are too out of line, in this era of gods and gods, if people suspect him of evil, it's over.
As for not doing anything, he will kill Mi Fang and Fu Shiren, who are on the verge of surrendering to the enemy...... Don't make trouble, Liu Chan, who grew up with the army, knows that these two are Lao Liu's henchmen.
One is the second uncle of an early angel investor, who refused Boss Cao's solicitation at the beginning.
The other is an old brother who has been fighting the world since Youzhou, and he used to be loyal.
Therefore, Lao Liu will rest assured that the two of them will go to guard the strategic places such as Jiangling and the public security.
Second Uncle Guan never dreamed that these two people would not even resist, and directly hung up and surrendered.
Four years ago, he had tentatively said that they looked useless, and that they might join the enemy one day......
As a result, Lao Liu directly pulled over with a big ear scraper.
After the fight, I didn't count, and I asked who taught me this for a long time.
Not to mention that they are in a high position, they are not so easy to kill.
Even if Liu Chan can really kill the two of them secretly, if he finds out that he did it, what will Lao Liu, who has always been devoted to his old brothers, do...... I can't even think about it.
But fortunately, he still has a favorability reward, and he still has the opportunity to change his life on his own!
It's just that Lao Liu in Hanzhong has already studed, and it is impossible for him to come to a single soldier.
Keeping the soldiers he trained from being "confiscated" by Zhuge and sent to the front line is already his limit for Liu Chan.
This person can't change the general trend of Jingzhou, but he can give it a fight and try to save his second uncle Guan!
As long as people don't die, there is hope.
He has been preparing for this for several years.
β¦β¦
When Hu Li heard that he was going to Chengdu, he chuckled after thinking about it.
The journey was not close, and Liu Chan and the others did not bring grain and grass...... How can they rely on the food stored in their village alone?
After the grain is exhausted, even if it arrives in Chengdu, what will the old, weak, women and children eat in the future?
He didn't think that Liu Chan would always raise these people in vain, how could there be such a truth in the world.
Hu Li couldn't help but tentatively said: "I went to Chengdu for more than 300 miles, but I was afraid of grain and grass ......."
Liu Chan didn't care at all, he was still thinking about his big plan, he just waved his hand and said lightly: "The grain and grass we need will be prepared for us." β
Hu Li was skeptical, but he didn't dare to say anything more.
Liu Dagongzi has a noble status, so he naturally does not worry about eating and drinking.
But who will feed them for nothing?
