Valley Emperor

Li Xuan and Liu Bagou and other people from Huangzhushan did not expect that when they came to attack Shuilong Village, not only did they not catch a grain of food, but there were more than 400 mouths who would run out of food after half a month. .

So when Huang Xueren said that there was no food in Shuilong Village, and instead asked Huang Zhushan to bring the food, Li Xuan fell silent.

The more than 500 people in Huangzhu Mountain are already short of food, and even if they save more, they can only eat one month before the autumn harvest.

The people in Shuilongzhai are even worse. According to Huang Xueren, they have no shortage of food. Although there is nothing to grow in Shuilongzhai, they have carried out several successful 'grain harvesting' operations in the first half of this year, not only Grab enough food to eat this year, and even have a surplus.

With a lot of food, this heart is wild.

After the failure to attack Huangzhushan last time, Huang Xueren and other people from Shuilongzhai did not give up easily, but decided to buy a batch of weapons from outside Dashan, and then go to Huangzhushan.

After all, although their Shuilongzhai is a hidden place, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but there is not much flat land suitable for reclamation, and the food cannot be self-sufficient. The Huangzhu Mountain is different. Although it is not a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is also a secret place. , it's hard to find without someone to lead the way.

And more importantly, at the foot of the southern mountain of Huangzhu Mountain is a small plain with a small river, which is a rare place suitable for farming in this large mountain.

Don't think that bandits don't grow food anymore.

These bandits with a large family, old and weak, women and children, were actually ordinary villagers in the past. They were forced to live outside the mountains by the landlords and officials, and then they fled into the mountains.

For so many people to survive, robbing alone is not the way to go. They also need to grow food, but there is a lack of cattle and farm tools in the mountains, and there are basically no water conservancy facilities, and there is less fertile land, so the output of food is relatively low.

Therefore, a good place like Huangzhu Mountain, which can be cultivated and whose grain yield is not low, is what many bandit gangs want.

In order to attack Huangzhu Mountain again, Shuilongzhai ran to Fengjiazhuang with a large amount of food to exchange for iron weapons, especially weapons. Eating black, he swallowed the grain of Shuilongzhai.

What's more unfortunate is that the heavy rain in half a month washed away the granary of Shuilongzhai, causing most of the remaining grain reserves in Shuilongzhai to vanish in the flood.

What is misfortune, that's it!

The food reserves were gone, and they happened to be attacked by the people from Huangzhu Mountain. The people of Shuilong Village discussed it and found that their resistance was meaningless, because even if they blocked the attack of Huangzhu Mountain, they would have to fight in half a month. Starved to death due to lack of food.

So just grit your teeth and surrender.

In their hearts, Huangzhu Mountain is a fertile land, and there must be a lot of grain output, and the bandits led by Fang Dongquan are also well-known in this mountain, and there must be a lot of stored grain.

It's just that Huang Xueren couldn't think of it, Fang Dongquan had a fever in his head, and together with Liu Bagou, he played the dream of supporting the young master and becoming a hero of the founding of the country.

As a result, the officers and soldiers destroyed his old nest on the edge of the mountain, forcing everyone in Huangzhu Mountain to flee back to Huangzhu Mountain in embarrassment, not even bringing much food.

And although the grain output on Huangzhu Mountain is good, the previous planting area was too small to satisfy the consumption of more than 500 people.

As a result, Huang Xueren was dumbfounded!

They all surrendered, and Huang Zhushan has no food to help them, what should they do? How to survive this autumn and winter?

Not only Huang Xueren was depressed, Li Xuan and Liu Bagou were also frowning.

When I came to Huangzhu Mountain this time, I didn't catch any food, but there were more than 400 more mouths. What should I do in the future?

After everyone was silent for a long time, Li Xuan said, "Go back to Huangzhu Mountain first, and then think of a solution for the food issue!"

Li Xuan couldn't think of any way to solve the food problem, so he didn't plan to stay in this water dragon village any longer.

Most of the others had no choice but to start to pack up and prepare to return to Huangzhu Mountain with a sad face.

But this time back to Huangzhu Mountain, in addition to the more than 100 people from Huangzhu Mountain, more than 400 people from Shuilong Village packed up all their belongings and returned to Huangzhu Mountain together.

These people from Shuilongzhai joined Huangzhu Mountain, which also allowed the subjects under the rule of the Tang Dynasty to break through the thousand-person mark.

Although the place of Shuilongzhai is secret, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but there are no fields or other things that cannot be obtained. Therefore, since the people of Shuilongzhai have been recovered, it is naturally impossible for them to stay here and bring them back to Huangzhu Mountain. Go a little better.

At least, the small plain on the other side of Huangzhu Mountain can allow them to open up wasteland and cultivate. After this period of time, they will be able to have a good harvest next year.

The only problem is that there is not enough food this year.

When they set out from Huangzhu Mountain, many bandits in Huangzhu Mountain could not say they were in high spirits, but they also had certain hopes for the future.

But when they went back, although more people had changed, most of them did not have any joy in their successful return.

Three days later, Li Xuan and others successfully returned to Huangzhu Mountain. When Qian Mengjiu saw Li Xuan returning with a large number of men and horses, and also saw more than 400 people in Shuilong Village, they were very happy at first. UU Reading www. uukanshu. After com, Li Xuan and the others have harvested a lot, but when he learned that he did not bring back a grain of food, but brought back more than 400 mouths, he also became like Liu Bagou and the others, and he frowned all day long. of.

It has been two days since the group of people in Shuilong Village were settled.

At this time, the top officials of the Tang Dynasty organized manpower to open up wasteland and plant more food, but since the planting time of late rice has passed, now they can only plant winter wheat and some miscellaneous grains, vegetables and so on if they open up wasteland.

But no matter what you plant, you have to plant it, and you can't wait for next spring to come!

In addition to reclaiming wasteland and farming, Liu Bagou and the others also thought of many ways to obtain food, such as organizing people to hunt and fish to pick wild fruits and vegetables.

Hunting here is not very reliable. Although there are many wild animals in the mountains, hunting is a technical job. Except for a few professional hunters, others can only stare at the prey, so the prey obtained is not much. .

Although there are wild fruits and vegetables, but after all, these can only be eaten as vegetables, it is impossible to rely on this to eat every day.

The fishing is quite effective. They fish every day on the small river several meters wide on the small plain. The output is good at first, but no matter how many fish there are in the small river, they cannot fill the stomachs of this thousand people.

Therefore, whether it is hunting or fishing, etc., these cannot really solve the food crisis in Huangzhu Mountain.

To solve the food crisis, the only way to obtain food is to obtain food from other channels, and it must be a large amount of food.

At this time, Huang Xueren, the second-in-command of Yuanshui Longzhai who had just surrendered, and the current Zhennan general of the Tang Dynasty, proposed a plan.

His plan was crude and simple: go and rob Fengjiazhuang!
