Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 696 Please close your eyes when it gets dark

   It is not just Niu Fu who is worrying about food and grass. There is such a group of people far away in Qingzhou, who are also worrying about one bite of food.

On the ground of Qingzhou, strictly speaking, there is really no high mountain. Even Mount Tai, in front of other mountains, is actually a short man, but on this ground, if you choose the taller one among the short ones, there is no way to climb Mount Tai and make the world smaller. words...

  If it is really serious, the altitude of Mount Tai, hehe...

  But now, Guan Hai and Ku Li don't have any pride in climbing high and looking far away. Although they look different, the expressions on their faces are almost exactly the same, a bitter look.

  Qingzhou Yellow Turban was originally led by Zhang Niujiao and Bu Ji, but after Zhang Jiao's three brothers failed, Zhang Niujiao saw that the momentum was not right, so he fled with a group of troops to the Black Mountain of Taihang Mountain and became a Black Bandit.

   But Bu Ji was bitten by Huangfu Song and couldn't get rid of it. In the end, he was defeated at Cangting in Dongjun.

  Then the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans fell into a slump. Later, the soldiers of the imperial court were transferred away. Guan Hai and Ku Li came out again to gather the scattered troops and became the commanders of the remaining troops of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans.

  Qingzhou was not a land of geomantic omen in the Han Dynasty, because the big river flowed from Qingzhou to the sea, so the water conservancy issue has always been the most important issue in Qingzhou. If it is well managed, it will be fertile soil on both sides of the river. If it is not well managed, it will be two vast oceans...

And because there are a large number of hills in the Qingzhou Peninsula, there are not many fertile fields that are really suitable for farming. In addition, in the Han Dynasty, the sediment carried by the big rivers could not accumulate large estuary tidal flats. Therefore, apart from salt and fishing, Qingzhou basically There's nothing more valuable than that.

As for the fishery industry, the vast majority of fishermen in Qingzhou can only have a full stomach in the end. It is simply impossible to marinate the fish and sell them far away, not to mention that if the salt industry had not been The imperial court received it, or it was under the control of the big family. For ordinary people, although Qingzhou produced salt, they still couldn't afford it...

  Thus, although it is said that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban was suppressed by Huangfusong for a time, with the transfer of imperial forces, those Qingzhou people who could not survive in the first place still could not survive.

   What if there is no food to eat?

The vast majority of people will hide their food in panic, and some people will **** all the food that can be eaten. Waiting for others to come, thinking of taking advantage, in the end, there is nothing...

Guan Hai and Ku Li originally didn't want to be yellow scarves anymore, but many former subordinates came to the door again, pleading bitterly that if they didn't come out to lead, everyone would have no way of life, no food, no clothes, How else can I survive?

In desperation, Guan Hai and Ku Li re-established their banners and occupied the top of the mountain. They thought they were just looking for a way out for everyone to survive, but they didn't expect that the poor people from all over the world would gradually gather together. Qingzhou Yellow Turban It's like rolling a snowball again, getting bigger and bigger.

   But the number of people is large, but the combat power cannot be forced...

The most important thing is that there are too many people, and the food consumption is not a small amount. Even if they are poor ordinary people who are used to it, even black vegetables and steamed corn bread are like delicacies from mountains and seas, but after all, no matter what, there are still some dry goods. Otherwise, this person will not be able to survive, just like a burnt oil lamp, and finally the oil in the bone will be boiled dry, and it will be considered as coming to an end.

Guan Hai and Kuli are now squatting together, pulling the grass roots, without washing them, flicking them with their hands, blowing them, and putting them in their mouths like this. Although it is a bit bitter, it will still taste sweet after chewing. It's a good little snack. If it weren't for the area of ​​hills and hills where Guan Hai and Kuli discussed matters together, this piece of sweet grass would have been cleaned up long ago.

   "What are you going to do?" Kuli spat on the ground the grass foam that had been chewed until it tasted tasteless, and then said.

  Guan Hai was silent, and said after a while: "After taking this step, it will not be easy to go back..."

Although it is said that Qingzhou Yellow Turban has re-established its signboard under Guan Hai and Ku Li, but it has always been under the control of Guan Hai and Ku Li. The opposing attack on the fort is at best to besiege and not to fight, extorting some money and food, more like bandits than rebels, so although the surrounding counties have repeatedly reported to the court, but no county has been captured by Guan Hai and Ku Li , The imperial court didn't bother to pay attention.

Now someone came to the door and brought five carts of grain and grass, saying it was a deposit. Regardless of whether Guan Hai and Ku Li were willing to obey orders, it was considered a gift. send...

  The requirement is to let Guan Hai and Ku Li take the Qingzhou yellow scarf to Yanzhou.

Going to Yanzhou is naturally not a self-guided sightseeing tour. The hilly area of ​​Qingzhou is not an area under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and it is not within the scope of the four major salt merchant families in Qingzhou, so it has always been safe and sound, occasionally taking some food and grass. The surrounding counties and counties are also treated as a waste of money to eliminate disasters. As long as they don't come every day, they will recognize it. But if they leave this area now, let alone the counties and towns that the official road will pass through, it is just a butcher's knife. If you want to put it down again, It's not that simple...

   People who have seen blood are completely different from those who have not seen blood. Guan Hai and Ku Li have experienced too much, and they have seen too many of these things.

  Ku Li sighed: "Or else? A lot of people died last winter... Could it be that this winter is still watching the old man enter the mountain by himself?"

  Guan Hai was silent.

  In order to ensure that young people including their children have more chances to survive, when there was really not much to eat last winter, many old people silently left their children and walked into the mountains automatically, never to come out again.

   "... Let's do it..." Guan Hai finally nodded, I hope that person can keep his word, although he also knows, in fact, the words of these officials...

   How else?

   Take one step at a time.

  At least there is something to eat now, so that more elderly people can survive this winter.

   As for the future...

Ha ha ha ha.

   Guan Hai looked up at the sky and closed his eyes.

  God, when will ordinary people like us be given a way out?

  We are not afraid of suffering, we are not afraid of being tired, we only hope that when we are done suffering and tired, we don’t have to cry anymore, we don’t have to dry up our tears and have to boil our blood...

  Jesus...

   Open your eyes...

   By the way, have God’s eyes been opened?

   I saw an old news some time ago, saying that a woman in pink, wearing simple clothes, went to Wangfujing and bought whatever she wanted.

   Immediately, the media also went crazy, thinking that the big guy came out to be capricious again...

   Some say it cost 2 million, some say it cost 5 million...

   Later, someone came forward to refute the rumors, saying that she was just an ordinary young white-collar woman. Because she was diagnosed with cancer, she really couldn't think about it, so she used a credit card limit of 150,000 to do the last prodigal...

   A person’s life span really doesn’t need to be too long. In the end, everything is suffering. The hidden dangers of being young will all explode when you are old...

   The weather changed, and the author's frozen shoulder started to hurt again...

   Isn't this pain accumulated when I was young...
