054 Departure and Momentum

Let them go back and prepare

Of course, it’s not about preparing gifts, but preparing weapons.

Yes, weapons.

In ancient times, fighting for water sources was never something that could be negotiated.

It requires the use of force

The Law of the Jungle

Only the strong can occupy resources and water sources

But how do you prove that you are strong?

Very simple

Use force to knock the opponent down

Actually

The means of competing for water sources in the late Eastern Han Dynasty were actually very gentle

Later generations of flower growers in the 1980s and 1990s

However, there was an outrageous scene where two villages in Guangdong took out Maxims and mortars to fight each other in order to compete for water.

Even the three-three strategy was used

Finally the army came in

Finally, the two sides were resolved

It can be seen that the martial virtues of the flower-growing family have been engraved in their bones from ancient times to the present.

Like farming

But if someone doesn’t allow me to farm, I don’t mind planting those who disagree in the fields.

Of course, it also shows how cruel it is to fight for water resources.

Even though later generations have entered the industrial society, this is still the case.

Moreover, in ancient times, this agricultural society

So what they fight for is never water, but the chance to survive.

Not long

The entrance of Xinghua Village

The children of the Chu family and the Xiahou family came out with their weapons.

Everyone must stand on both sides

However, most of them are not standard weapons, but ordinary farm tools.

Although the Han Dynasty banned weapons, they only banned crossbows and armor.

But this does not mean that you can show off your power with swords and guns everywhere.

Actually

The purchase and forging of standard weapons require reporting.

Of course the process isn’t difficult.

As long as it is not a large purchase, the government generally does not care.

Moreover, not everyone can afford standard weapons.

The vast majority of people here are farmers.

I have never studied martial arts.

Even if I buy a standard weapon, I won’t be able to use it.

They have been farming all their lives.

If a fight really breaks out, using unfamiliar weapons might be less effective than using farm tools. finally

All the people from the Chu family and the Xiahou family who were going to Zhaojiazhuang have arrived.

At a glance, all are young and strong

The little food that the elderly, children, women and children can eat is given to them first.

For this time

The Chu family and the Xiahou family are not actually that big.

The Shan family is actually similar to the Zhao family.

But the two together

More than 600 young men were gathered together

Almost as many people as the entire Zhaojiazhuang

However, the weapons of the young men on the Xiahou family’s side are obviously better.

After all, it is a branch of the Xiahou family, a great family in Qiao County, Pei County, Xuzhou.

Maybe the relationship is a little distant.

But they will more or less accept gifts from their hosts, including but not limited to various books and martial arts

The Chu family on the other side is obviously much worse.

The young and strong are holding mostly farm tools.

Only a very small number of them hold standard weapons.

But in order

The two are completely opposite

The helpless Chu family is actually more orderly than the Xiahou family, a branch of a large family.

Especially the heads of the two families came over

After seeing Chu Ji, the young and strong men of the Chu family stood up straight and kept silent.

There is already a shadow of prohibition.

When Xiahou Xing came out

Although the young men of the Xiahou family also saluted

But only after a while

Everyone is doing their own thing again

If you look closely at the eyes of the two children, you will find

The Xiahou family members only have respect for Xiahou Xing.

The Chu family members not only respected Chu Ji, but also had a strong fear of him.

This is also due to the personalities of the two people.

Chu Ji can become the patriarch because he is the most capable person in the Chu family.

And Xiahou Xing can become the head of the family

Just because he is the eldest son of the Xiahou family

Of course, he’s not stupid.

A fool can’t be the head of a family with hundreds of people for so long.

Even the clan members could not respect him so much.

It’s just that I’m not as strong as Chu Ji.

Chu Ji walked to the front of the two teams ahead of Xiahou Xing, and said loudly:

“Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. Let me say something.”

As soon as the words fell

Not only did the Chu family members keep silent, but even the Xiahou family members also calmed down and looked at Chu Ji.

Chu Ji nodded slightly, and then said:

“I believe everyone has already known about the incident in Zhaojiazhuang where the water of Hutuo River was cut off.”

“Cutting off a person’s water supply is like cutting off their livelihood.”

“So, next we have to take back what belongs to us”

“Everyone, follow me!”

As soon as the words fell

Chu Ji walked in front and led the Chu family to set off first

Xiahou Xing also hurried forward and brought his young men and followed closely behind.

Xia Houlan, who was standing by, came forward and curled her lips:

“Dad, the head of the Chu family is overstepping his authority.”

Xiahou Xing looked at Chu Ji’s back, wondering what he was thinking.

“Sizheng, don’t underestimate the head of the Chu family. He is trying to build momentum.”

Si Zheng was Xia Houlan’s name. He frowned and muttered:

“Creating momentum? Is it happening to our Xiahou family?”

Xiahou Xing shook his head:

“I ask you, what is the current trend of the world?”

Xia Houlan’s expression froze, knowing that his father was going to test him.

“The emperor of the Han Dynasty was deceived by treacherous officials, the ten eunuchs disrupted the government, sold official positions and titles, and formed a group of traitors. In addition, there were constant disasters in the world, and the people were displaced…….Sooner or later there will be chaos”

“But what does this have to do with the Chu family patriarch’s momentum?”

“Could it be that he wants to rebel?”

Xiahou Xing shook his head:

“You, you have a clear view of the world’s general situation, but you don’t understand human nature well enough.”

“He may not dare to rebel”

“He is now creating momentum just to establish a strong image between our two families.”

“If the world is in chaos, and our two families are in the same village, he will have the opportunity to use our two families’ teams to gain a career in the chaos.”

Xia Houlan widened her eyes

I didn’t expect the Chu family’s patriarch to have such a big ambition.

“So dad, you just let him do this?”

Xiahou Xing shook his head:

“If he is really capable, it might not be a bad idea to follow him.”

“Our two families have lived together for a hundred years. Although they are still two families, we are already part of each other.”

Xia Houlan was stunned

Because he found out that his father was right

Over a hundred years

The Chu family and the Xiahou family, who lived in the same village, were nominally two families.

But in fact, they are inseparable

Many of his friends are from the Chu family.

His grandmother and several aunts are from the Chu family

Several of his brothers married wives from the Chu family.

Even some of his sisters married into the Chu family.

The same is true for the Xiahou family

Although the two families have two surnames, they are basically related.

There is such a relationship

Chu Ji just needs to keep building momentum for himself

When the world is in chaos, if he raises his arm and calls for help, there will definitely be many people following him.

Xiahou Lan realized

But it’s no use

Because this is an open conspiracy, it is upright and relies on personal charm

I believe that it is not only my father who sees this in the Xiahou family.

Everyone is also watching

See if this person is really a wise leader worth following.

Besides, if the world is in chaos,

It doesn’t matter who you follow.

It’s better to follow someone familiar than to just follow someone randomly without knowing the truth, right?………
