Chapter 38 Grain is exhausted
The city wall was thinned by a foot, and the intensity of the battle can be imagined.
Four days later, the Yellow Turban soldiers still did not break the city, but it can be foreseen that the city is about to break.
Zou Jing was so worried that his temples were white and he was short of food! He was short of food! There was no food in the city. How could he last until reinforcements arrived? It was only five days after that, and reinforcements could arrive ten days later.
The advancers in the city were also worried. Although their individual strength was strong, if the city was really broken by the enemy, they would inevitably die in the chaos.
"Collection of grain!" A team of officers and soldiers asked for grain from house to house in the city, but the results were minimal.
Zhou Yiran saw that he remembered it in his heart. In the evening, the siege finally stopped. The Yellow Turban Army was still defeated, but what he was most worried about now was the people in Zhuojun City.
Zhou Yiran was walking on the street, and some people leaned against the wall weakly, exhaling a long and heavy breath.
Zhou Yiran accelerated his pace toward Zou Jing's mansion.
When I arrived at the door, I heard Zou Jing roaring in the yard: "You bunch of waste, what about the grain! Grain! I only received fifty stones of food and grass in one day! Who can eat this? Tell me! Tell me!"
A submissive voice sounded: "General, general, the people in the city have no food!"
"I don't care. I won't get food tomorrow! I will peel you and eat meat!" Zou Jing shouted angrily.
Zhou Yiran walked in through the main entrance and saw two civil servants kneeling in front of Zou Jing, trembling.
Seeing that Zhou was still here, Zou Jing's expression was slightly relaxed and said, "Why did the righteous man come? If there is no big deal, I still have important official duties."
Zhou Yiran said: "I came here to help the general resolve the most relationship."
"Ah! The righteous man is invited! Come and pour tea!" Zou Jing finished speaking, and took Zhou Yiran's hand into the house.
After entering the house, Zou Jing rubbed his hands, and his unwavering look showed his eagerness, but he was unwilling to be seen as an important guard, so he pretended to be nothing.
"General, there is no food in the city!" Zhou Yiran finished.
Zou Jing's eyes widened, "What is the solution for the righteous man?"
"I have something, and there are food and grass in it. I wonder if I can solve the general's urgent need." After Zhou Yiran finished speaking, Zou Jing stood up and arrived at the place respectfully: "Sir, please tell me, if I really understand that there is no food in my Zhuo County, you and I will become sworn brothers of the opposite sex."
Zhou Yiran said: "Okay! General comes with me!"
After Zhou Yiran finished speaking, he came to the yard with his head held high.
The yard of Zou Jingfu Village is quite large, so Zhou Yiran checked the big and small roads: "It's OK here."
Zou Jing asked in confusion: "Rightist, what does this mean?"
Zhou Yiran didn't speak and moved a building from his village. This was the last building that Zhou Yiran could move or build.
Warehouse, grain limit is 1,000.
Zhou Yiran's warehouse is filled with air-dried wolf meat, which has high calorie content.
A little grain is equivalent to ten kilograms of wolf meat, while the upper limit of one thousand grains is full, and as many as ten thousand kilograms of wolf meat are stored in the warehouse.
Zou Jing suddenly saw the warehouse that appeared in his courtyard and was very excited.
"Brother! Brother, thank the people in the city!" After Zou Jing said that, he was about to kneel down to Zhou Yiran, and Zhou Yiran hurriedly supported him.
Zhou Yiran said: "What does this mean by brother? Why not go with me to see what is in the warehouse?"
"Okay! OK!" Zou Jing and Zhou Yiran walked into the warehouse and took out a piece of dried wolf meat.
"Meat! So much meat! Zhuo County finally survived!" After Zou Jing said that, he held Zhou Yiran's hand tightly. If Zhuo County is stable, it will rely on Zhou Yiran to resolve the danger at an emergency.
The dried wolf meat has extremely high calories and is much better than the porridge cooked with food and grass.
"Come on! The table setting! Today I want to be brothers with your benefactors!" After Zou Jing said that, his subordinates did not dare to procrastinate, so they brought a low table and placed a candle.
Zou Jing pulled Zhou Yiran and said, "Brother, I am a brother with you today. I don't want to be born on the same day in the same year, but I want to die on the same day! Come!"
After Zou Jing finished speaking, he took two bowls of wine, cut open his hand with a knife, squeezed out blood, and fell into two bowls of wine, and Zhou Yiran followed suit.
"After drinking this bowl of wine, we are brothers." After Zou Jing said that, he drank the wine first.
After drinking, Zhou Yiran thought to himself: "Is it really because Zou Jing is a brother to him? He is also the food and supplies to relieve danger? It's not all!"
hint:
Your friendship with Zou Jing has greatly improved, friendship has become intimate, and a brother is a suffrage. You cannot attack each other.
Zou Jing said: "In the future, I would recommend my brothers to the King of Han. If my brothers can train troops, I will definitely be valued."
"Thank you brother, then."
Several advanced players from Liu Bei's camp looked at Zhou Yiran's familiarity with Zou Jing, and secretly gritted their teeth. They were unwilling to give up. What kind of profession is he? He is just the weakest pioneer, and now he is above us.
Although Zhou Yiran saw that their eyes were not friendly, he did not take it to heart. After seeing such eyes, Zhou Yiran had become accustomed to it.
Zou Jing tried to keep Zhou still for dinner, but he was thinking about Liu Mengli in the barracks and no longer stayed here.
Zhou Yiran returned to the barracks and said nothing, but just looked at the wolf meat in a warehouse.
"Brother, you really solved your brother's crisis!" Zou Jing paced, looking at the wolf meat in Mancang with a smile on his lips.
"General! This person may not be a kind person. Look at how many wolf meat this full warehouse needs? General, be careful!" A promotionist from Liu Bei's camp walked to Zou Jing and said as if he was kind.
Zou Jing's face turned pale and his eyes suddenly became sharp: "You dare to provoke the relationship between my brothers! Come on! Drag it out and behead me!"
After Zou Jing finished speaking, the advanceee was so scared that he shouted: "General! General! Please spare your life!"
When the other promoted people saw that things were not good, they closed their eyes, as if this person was not familiar with them and was not in the same camp. When the man saw no one pleaded for him, he shouted sadly: "General, please spare me one, let me go forward to kill the enemy, I am willing to die in the killing field! I don't want to die under the general's knife, General, let me die in battle!"
After this man finished speaking tragically, Zou Jing was moved by it and attracted the murderous intention. He thought to himself that this man was also a man, and it would be a pity to kill him.
