Chapter 716: This thin skin and tender meat will definitely taste smooth.
Guan Hai led his army to block the official road of Beihai County so openly, without any intention of hiding it!
As for whether it would arouse the dissatisfaction of Kong Rong, the prefect of Beihai, Guan Hai, who led a million-strong army, didn't care. If it weren't for Kong Rong's side, he would have led his troops to besiege it before it was time to extract oil and water!
Looking at the thick and huge clouds condensed by millions of troops, Guan Yu's face turned redder and Zhang Fei's face turned darker. Protecting Liu Bei's safety is definitely not a problem. The problem is that the grain and grass behind him and the craftsmen sent by the Mi family are What should I do, and Mi Zhu’s precious sister...
If these people were abandoned, not to mention whether Liu Bei was willing or not, at least Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would be reluctant to do so, but an army of one million is really not something that human power can contend with!
what to do?
Just as the three straw sandal brothers were looking at each other, a person came up behind them. It was Sun Qian who had been introduced to Liu Bei by Tao Qian this time.
Sun Qian, courtesy name Gongyou, was a native of Beihai County. He was first recommended to Tao Qian by the great scholar Zheng Xuan, and was recommended to Liu Bei when Liu Bei paid a friendly visit to Xuzhou.
Historically, since Xuzhou followed Liu Bei, he served as Liu Bei's envoy many times. After Liu Bei settled in Yizhou, he worshiped Sun Qian as General Bingzhong. His treatment was second only to Mi Zhu and the same as Jian Yong. He died of illness soon after.
"Lord, let me try it!" Sun Qian came up behind Liu Bei and said. Since he worshiped Liu Bei as his master, he naturally wanted to find opportunities to show off his talents. His strength lies in the art of vertical and horizontal movements, and today is a good demonstration. Chance.
"What can Gongyou do?" Liu Bei turned his head and looked at Sun Qian with joy.
"The reason why these people stopped here is just for food and grass. The fact that they intercepted instead of besieging them shows that their hostility is not serious and leaves them a large escape route. In this way, there is room for communication!" Sun Qian said confidently.
When Liu Bei thought about it, it was indeed true. An army of one million people could easily surround and kill thousands of them. "In this case, I'll leave it to Gongyou!"
"I will live up to my lord's trust." After Sun Qian cupped his fists and saluted, he straightened his robes, mounted his horse and strutted towards Guan Hai's camp.
One person faced millions of soldiers. Although one person's murderous intent was not strong, as the distance got closer and closer, the millions of murderous intents converged. Sun Qian felt a wave of pressure coming on him, and his face gradually turned pale.
Damn, why is it different from before!
Shouldn't there be wine and meat, everyone talking and laughing, and me using my sharp tongue to persuade the other party...
Sun Qian was used to living a peaceful life, and suddenly encountered such a murderous scene, Sun Qian was a little uncomfortable for a while.
Trying to keep a "confident" smile on his face, Sun Qian shouted loudly before arriving at Guan Hai's army camp: "Mr. Liu Fu, sit down, Beihai Sun Qian is here to visit."
Although Guan Hai didn't know who Sun Qian was or what he was here to do, he was just a person, so he naturally spread the news.
When he came to the army, Sun Qian felt even more out of place. Everyone was dressed in tatters. Even some of the leaders were only neatly dressed. He was definitely not comparable to Sun Qian, who had a wide robe, big sleeves and a graceful demeanor. Naturally, he Everyone looked at Sun Qian with very unkind eyes.
Trying to calm down his breathing, Sun Qian knew that politicians were all about deceiving people, and if they wanted to deceive people, they must not show their cowardice. Once the other party felt that he was not confident enough, he would tell him that smallpox was useless.
Looking at the bearded guy sitting on the ground in front of him, with his long hair hanging loosely on his shoulders, and his face full of flesh, Sun Qian's breath was stagnant with a fierce air pressure.
"Tsk tsk, these officials are different. They are white and clean, with fine skin and tender flesh." Guan Hai praised in his mouth, stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, suddenly turned his head and looked to the side and said: "Go and order the big pot to boil." Come on, this one with thin skin and tender meat will definitely taste smooth. I won’t eat those old guys today, the meat is too bad!”
Sun Qian froze in place after hearing this. He really wanted to say something to the big man in front of him, "Actually, I'm scared of you. I'm very dark, and I taste terrible!"
He really believes that if the other party is not good enough, he will eat him!
This is no joke. During times of famine, cannibalism is not uncommon, especially in Qingzhou, where the disaster is most serious.
Not to mention anything else, Cheng Yu has made dried human meat for use as military rations. In comparison, he is definitely much more delicious than those scrawny old men, at least there is more meat...
Fortunately, he knew that he must not be timid in this situation. Thinking of this, he laughed and said without fear: "There is no rush to eat me. You can do it at any time. However, I still want to say that it is not delicious to just eat people. You still have to eat them." It’s paired with some grains, and my master’s side has various ways to pair it with stewed meat, and the food is very sophisticated. If you have the opportunity, can we have more exchanges!”
Guan Hai was stunned, this man is very courageous!
The people from the aristocratic families who have been caught either yelled or cried bitterly, like the one in front of you who talks and laughs with you and eats yourself, he is really the first one!
"How courageous!" Guan Hai praised, "Say, if you want to see me, what are you going to say? Let me say the ugly things first. It is impossible not to give food. My million brothers will not be able to live without food. If you can’t live a normal life, you can’t live anymore, so who cares what you say.”
"Of course, let alone you, no matter who you are, he will be hungry even if he doesn't eat!" After saying a few words, Sun Qian's condition improved a lot.
"I haven't asked for this general's name yet."
"A certain family is in charge of Hai."
"It turns out that General Guan was disrespectful in front of him." Sun Qian clasped his fists in salute and continued, "I wonder how much food General Guan needs?"
"Of course, the more food, the better!"
"But the shipment this time is only half a million dan! It must not be enough to last for a long time, a brother like you who has a million yuan." Sun Qian said very casually.
Five hundred thousand stones?
Just?
How do you put these two sentences together?
Guan Hai jumped up from the ground, his face full of surprise. With these five hundred thousand stones of grain, they could survive until the harvest!
"That's enough, that's enough. Leave these five hundred thousand shi of food and I'll make sure you get through here safely!"
"Is half a million dan enough?" Sun Qian looked surprised and didn't look like he was lying. "How is it possible? There are millions of people. What can we do with this little food?"
"Why is it not enough? Two bowls of porridge per person a day. Even if it is thicker, it can last until the autumn harvest." With the food in place, he is finally worthy of the millions of people who follow him to make a living. Guan Hai looks happy and naturally doesn't mind. Back to the person in front of me.
"You only eat two bowls of porridge a day? Aren't you hungry?" Sun Qian looked confused, and the corner of Guan Hai's mouth twitched.
Isn’t this bullshit? I’ll let you eat only two bowls of porridge a day. Damn it, you’ll starve to death, you bastard!
It’s true that a full man doesn’t know that a hungry man is hungry!
"General Guan, does he know that there are 600,000 people in Qi County, how much food and grass are consumed every month?" Sun Qian continued to ask as if he did not see Guan Hai's face.
