Great Wei Nengchen

Soon, baskets of food were brought out. It was said to be food, but in fact it was just pancakes made of coarse grains, with a lot of wild vegetables and sand mixed in, but even this kind of food was enough to make many refugees salivate. It’s been three feet, and it’s been a long time since I’ve eaten decent food. Many people’s eyes turn green when they eat wild vegetables, but with the arrival of winter, even wild vegetables are hard to find. Food is life!

The Yellow Turban Army implements a rationing system. Those strong soldiers who can go to the battlefield can get two pancakes a day, and they can barely eat half full. Those men with some strength can get one pancake a day. The best cannon fodder is responsible for carrying the soil and moving bricks, and shielding the arrows from raining. As for the women and children who came with the army, they have no rations and can only dig wild vegetables for food. In the eyes of the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army, what do those people eat? I can't do it, so starving to death deserves it!

This is a troubled world, human life is worse than a dog, food is the hard currency here, a pancake can exchange a few human lives, or a beautiful girl; so those women must have a strong husband if they want to survive. Rely on, if not, then flirt and find one quickly, otherwise what awaits them is the fate of starving to death!

Starving to death, is there a crueler way to die in the world?

As for the children among the refugees, they were either starved to death or disappeared. Yes, they were missing. No one was alive or dead. As for where they went, just look at the broth cooked in the big pot of the refugee camp every night You know, beasts will eat their own kind when they are hungry, and so will people!

"Recruiting the dead soldiers who attacked the city, one person and two pancakes, come quickly, everyone!" In the refugee camp, some small leaders of the Yellow Turban Army carried pancakes and began to shout hard. Girl, little daughter-in-law, all I need is a pancake, and someone will warm the bed tonight...

"Boom!" Hearing that there was food, the crowd began to frantically gather. Some relatively strong men signed up one after another. The so-called siege soldiers are some desperadoes. Under the temptation of food, there are still a large number of victims who come to sign up. Instead of starving to death here, it is better to fight to the death, at least you can be a hungry ghost. There are also some men, in order to feed their wives and children After a bite, he also picked up a simple weapon and stood in the ranks of dead soldiers.

"I regestrated!……"

"I go!"

"I am coming too!"

To exchange one's own life for a full meal for his wife and children, in troubled times, this is the last thing men can do...

260. Chapter 260 Orphan Xiaojing

Xiaojing was an orphan. When she was a few months old, she was picked up from the ravine by the villagers. The villagers were very surprised at that time, because the place where they lived was called Yelangling. As the name suggests, it was a place where wolves often haunted. , People can hear the howl of the wolf king Xiaoyue every night!

But a baby that was thrown into the ravine was not eaten by wild wolves. This is a miracle. It is said that when it was picked up, there were traces of milk on the corner of the baby's mouth, and people also found footprints of wild wolves nearby. and hair, so everyone exclaimed, this is a child who grew up on wolf's milk!

Amidst the anxiety, Xiaojing was taken back to the village, but no one dared to accept the child who was raised by the wolf's grandmother. In the end, an old couple without children adopted her because she never cried or cried. Nao, I play quietly every day alone, so I named it Xiaojing!

At the age of eight, a plague hit, the old couple passed away one after another, and Xiao Jing became an orphan again, so the eight-year-old child began to shoulder the burden of life alone. Go up the mountain to cut firewood, go down the river to fish, catch small animals in the mountains, pick beehives in the wild...all for survival!

Maybe it's because of the wolf's milk she ate when she was a child. Xiao Jing has shown an amazing talent for living in the wild. Whether it's the tallest tree or the steepest cliff, even the dangerous peaks that cannot be climbed by herb pickers are as beautiful under her feet. Walking on the flat ground, she can distinguish the medicinal properties of flowers and plants in the wild one by one, and the footprints of wild animals in the mountains cannot escape her eyesight. At the age of ten, she became an outstanding mountain guest. The children regard her as an idol, while the adults regard her as the reincarnation of a demon wolf, full of fear. In this way, under the eyes of admiration and fear, Xiao Jing grew up to be 12 years old...

According to the age of the Han Dynasty, 12 years old is half a child. If there is no accident, maybe Xiaojing should marry in a few years. In the Han Dynasty, a woman is 15 years old and she is considered a full adult and can have children. Yes, Xiaojing is a girl!

Unfortunately, fate has destined that this child who grew up on wolf's milk will not live an ordinary life. On Xiaojing's 12th birthday (the anniversary of her being picked up), the Yellow Turban Army came, murdered, set fire, and He robbed all the things in the village and kidnapped all the people!

In order to survive, Xiaojing became one of the refugees. Together with the brigade, she ate up all the surrounding counties like locusts, and finally came to the city of Linzi!

"We're recruiting siege warriors. Anyone who wants to eat wheat cakes comes here. One dead soldier will give out two wheat cakes!"

The aroma of food attracted Xiao Jing's attention. Since she was coerced out, she has gathered with a dozen children. Their parents were killed, or separated from their relatives, and they all became orphans without care. To survive in troubled times, children have to form small groups to fight against the dangers outside. Apart from their severe lack of food, the biggest danger is that many people regard them as food and eat children secretly. Unannounced things!

Oppression and resistance coexist, and predators sometimes become prey. One night, when Xiao Jing killed a scoundrel who came to snatch a child from the orphan group with a hatchet, she became the eldest sister of all the children. She was an orphan since she was a child, and she is happy to have so many relatives all at once, but it is also a problem to feed these children. In the Yellow Turban Army, children do not have food rations. Fortunately, Xiao Jing has a wealth of common sense in wild life. Lead these children to dig grass roots, pull bark, shoot birds, catch wild animals, and collect everything that can be eaten. Even so, many children still die of hunger. In troubled times, survival is a luxury!

"Boss, it's bad, Xiaogui is dying of hunger!" A sallow and thin child ran up to Xiaojing, with the same footsteps, because the weather was getting colder and it was getting more and more difficult to get food from the wild, even wild vegetables. I can't dig it out.

Xiaogui is one of the orphans. Because he is thin and has little flesh, his limbs are small, and his stomach looks big. He looks like a turtle, so everyone calls him Xiaogui. Because of hunger, he is already swollen and dying. !

Looking at the dozens of fat-headed dolls behind her who also started to appear swollen, Xiao Jing knew that if there was no food, everyone would not be able to last long. If a person is hungry for a long time, he will not lose weight, but become puffy. This is edema, and the body will lose weight. It swells up like inflated, looks very fat, you can press lightly with your fingers, and a deep pit will appear, and it will not recover for a long time. When one day even the swelling subsides, the human limit will be reached !

"Take care of my brothers and sisters, don't be taken away, I'll get some food back!" Xiaojing instructed several older children, and then walked towards the little leader of the Yellow Turban Army who was recruiting soldiers to attack the city. Now I can only use my own life to fight for it. If I succeed, I will bring food back. If I fail, then I, the boss, will go first, and I will save myself from watching the children around me starve to death one by one!

"Take it, take it, eat it quickly, and prepare to attack the city when you are full!" The little leader of the Taiping Road wrapped in a yellow scarf began to distribute wheat cakes to those who signed up. For many people, this may be the best food in this life. It's the last meal for everyone, so everyone is gobbling up and dying, and they will also be a stuffed ghost!

"I'll be a dead soldier!" Holding the hatchet tightly, Xiaojing stepped forward to sign up!

"You? Little baby, I'm recruiting dead men, not babysitting!" The little leader who was recruiting carefully looked at the little baby in front of him. Dressed as a child, he was dressed in a tattered leather jacket, his feet were bare, and covered with mud and calluses. This was the trace left by years of running in the mountains and fields. His hair was tied with a hemp rope. There is some aura in her big eyes, Xiao Jing is no different from other boys in the refugee camp!

"I'm not afraid of death!" Because of her solitary childhood, Xiao Jing's words were always so short. She waved the hatchet in her hand and started to cut her shoulders slowly. When the sharp blade passed, blood It flowed down immediately, but she didn't even blink her eyes.

People who are not afraid of death may not be afraid of pain, but people who are not afraid of pain are generally not afraid of death, because death is easy, but pain is unbearable, so what many heroes want before they die is a pleasure, don't suffer!

"Okay, I have the guts! It's you!" The little boss was finally moved. Such a young child is so ruthless. I have never seen it before. Being ruthless to others is nothing, but being ruthless to yourself is really ruthless; and he From Xiao Jing's eyes, he saw the ferocity of a wolf. This child is not simple. He took out two wheat cakes from the bamboo basket and handed them over. After thinking for a while, he took out another one, "Boy, you Worth the price!"

Xiaojing quickly ate a wheat cake. Now she needs to replenish her strength, otherwise she would not be able to climb such a high city. As for the other two, she put them in her arms and prepared to take them back to the children. Order some food, several children will probably starve to death tonight!

Soon thousands of siege soldiers were pushed to the foot of Linzi City. These were all desperadoes. Although the weapons in their hands were not sophisticated, and there was not even a single piece of armor, the boundless murderous aura exuded made the city guards All the heart palpitations, veterans who have been fighting all the year round know that the most terrifying thing on the battlefield is not the well-equipped sharp soldiers, but these dead soldiers who are not afraid of death.

"Beat the drum! The dead men attack!" Zhang Yan gave an order, and dozens of war drums were beating at the same time. This was the signal to attack. A group of people, carrying a simple wooden ladder, rushed towards the head of Linzi City, and the supervisor team behind them immediately followed. Today, these people either rushed to the top of the city, or died in battle. There is no third way to go!

Because of her short stature, Xiao Jing couldn't lift a ladder, so she had to follow behind a group of people, dodging the rain of arrows like a nimble kitten, and at the same time dashed forward; It was smashed down, and because the crowd was too dense, almost every block could smash a bloody alley. Most of the guards on the city wall were local soldiers. They knew deeply that once hundreds of people were allowed to What would be the consequences of tens of thousands of refugees rushing into Linzi? In order to protect their wives, children, and children, they must work hard!

"Kill, rush up!" Although there were heavy casualties, none of the dead soldiers retreated, anyway, retreating is death, one fell down, and ten followed. In this way, thousands of desperadoes stepped forward against the rain of arrows coming from the pavement. Looking at the corpse of his companion, ignoring the enemy's sword, he rushed to the top of the city with flesh and blood, and then started a more bloody hand-to-hand combat...

Although Xiaojing is small and weak, she is very flexible. She did not climb ladders to attack the city like others, but relied on the skills she had practiced on the mountain side since she was a child, while avoiding bows and arrows, while buckling the protrusions on the city wall Climb up, like a little monkey, and soon climb to the parapet!

As soon as his head appeared, a big man in the guard held a shining ring-shouldered knife and slashed at his head. Scared Xiaojing hurriedly shrunk his neck and narrowly avoided it. Then he clasped the city wall with one hand and turned over. He slashed towards the opponent's neck, but the opponent didn't expect that it was a child who jumped up. He was slightly stunned, and the hatchet struck the neck, blood splashed everywhere, and the head rolled down. Who said children can't kill people!

At the same time, the rest of the city walls were also breached by the dead soldiers one after another. Bloody hand-to-hand combat began. The dead bodies rolled and heads fell to the ground. , Under such a desperate attack, the defenders finally collapsed...

Xiao Jing didn't know how many times she had killed. Anyway, her body was already stained red with blood, and she was stabbed in the back. Fortunately, she was thin and thin, otherwise she could be chopped off in one blow, but manpower is always useful When she was dying, let alone a child who hadn't even had enough to eat for a long time, when she staggered and fell headlong on the pile of dead people, Xiao Jing knew that she was finished!

"It's okay to die. After death, there will be no loneliness, no hunger. I hope to have parents and relatives in my next life..."

"Boom!..." Rush in, kill in! "While Xiaojing closed her eyes and waited to die, the rebels outside the city suddenly shouted loudly, the city gate collapsed, and Linzi City fell!

261. Chapter 261 Entering Yanzhou East

Linzi City, the prefect's mansion, is now the residence of Zhang Yan, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army. As for the former masters, their heads are all hung on the flagpoles outside. This is the so-called rebellion by killing officials. The army invaded the city, and the whole city fell into a catastrophe, killing, looting,...

The hungry refugees frantically robbed everything, whether it was food or useful things, and some rogues searched for women everywhere. For those of them who have no future, women and fine wine are everything to them!

Zhang Yan sat alone in the lobby, his face sinking like water, and everything in front of him was not what he wanted. He originally wanted to hold high the banner of "General Tian Gong", kill all corrupt officials, and kill a man who is free from oppression and free from evil. Exploitation, food and clothing for everyone, and a harmonious Qingming world everywhere, but now, what the Yellow Turban Army brings is not a paradise, but a living hell!

After three days of looting, an originally prosperous city was completely turned into ruins. In order to survive, the people who lost their homes had to choose to join the tide of refugees, so the Yellow Turban Army had tens of thousands more soldiers...

Although he felt that he was on the wrong path, Zhang Yan couldn't stop now. He had to lead the refugees on and find food for them, otherwise the furious refugees would eat him and eat him alive!

"Boss!" The wretched ground squirrel came in from the outside. In the bloody battle at Panlong River, the entire cavalry was wiped out. He was the only one who escaped by luck. He survived the catastrophe. Now he has become Zhang Yan A small leader of his subordinates.

"How's it going outside?"

"Everything that can be robbed has been robbed, and all that can be killed will be killed. It will not be possible to recover in three or fifty years!" The ground squirrel also looked sad. Refugees are a group of wild beasts. Once they rush into the city, they will burn and kill without restraint. Looting, even their leaders can't stop it!

Zhang Yan smiled wryly and shook his head. There was nothing he could do about it. He was only the top leader in name. In fact, the Yellow Turban Army had split into countless factions.

As for the origin of these people, there are also various sources. There are the remnants of the Yellow Turbans left over from the Zhang Jiao period, bandits and bandits who ran out from various hills, some local tyrants who fished in troubled waters, and some are simply former officers and soldiers who were killed by Yellow Turbans in the city. After the army was breached, they changed completely and simply became thieves. With such a complicated personnel structure, it is really difficult to get them to work together as one!

"Go and gather all the leaders, have a meeting, and discuss where to go next. The weather is getting colder and colder, and we must find a place to spend the winter!" Knowing that there are some things that Zhang Yan has to do, who told him to do so in name? Where is the big leader!

"promise!……"

Zhang Yan originally planned to hold a meeting at noon, but none of the leaders came on time, including those subordinates directly under their own control. The lack of military discipline has always been their biggest feature, and they came one after another until dusk. , are still sleepy, many people are directly in a state of drunkenness, they crawled in with drunken fists, as for the rest, no one knows that they are living and dying drunk in that corner of Linzi City!

"Brothers, I called you here today to discuss. Where should we develop next?" Zhang Yan is the initiator of the meeting, and he will naturally preside over it. The cold winter is coming. There are enough places to station, I am afraid this winter will not be easy!

When it comes to food and winter, the leaders can be considered to be at peace, because it is related to their life and death. Although the city of Linzi is good, it has been ruined by millions of yellow scarves, and it is estimated that it will not last for a few days. Then the next step to go to that 'food' has become a big problem!
