Chapter 2031 Innocent Woman 5

In fact, it is conceivable that if there is a way, how can each dynasty be helpless when a severe drought comes? It's impossible for people from ancient times to the present to be stupid and can't think of a way, right? It can only be that there is really no other way. After all, this is not the modern era. In modern times, when there is no water, they can still barely supply draft through seawater desalination. In this ancient time, what can be done?

However, it cannot be said that the imperial court has no responsibility. This is not like the mission in the extremely drought world. The whole world is in drought and there is no way to bring food relief from other places. In this world, only the Central Plains is drought, and there are also droughts in the south. There is food in the north, but the imperial court does not care about the life and death of the people, does not provide food relief from other places, and continues to impose excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes. The people who cannot survive are forced to have no choice but to think that they will die on both sides. It is very easy to rebel and rebel. Normal.

Just when Anran hired people to build a fortress and was wondering how to get food, her original husband once again sent people to deliver food to the family.

Seeing the strange-shaped city wall built outside Pingyuan Town, Chen Liuniang's husband, named Zhang Tiezhu, who was one of her husband's top confidants, couldn't help but be surprised. When he returned home, he asked his wife: "Who built that wall outside? ?”

Every time Li Xiu sends someone to deliver food to his family, he usually sends one of his cronies to deliver it. After all, if there is an accident, such as being caught, the cronies will not betray him at least, so he has to let anyone deliver the message. If he is caught, he will lead the way. In my hometown, if my family is arrested and threatened, I will be in trouble.

Although Li Xiu controlled places including his hometown, it was possible for spies and the like to sneak in under the leadership of traitors and kidnap his family, so those who delivered food naturally had to find cronies.

Chen Liuniang said: "It was built by Li Xiu's mother-in-law, Mrs. Lu."

"What?!" Zhang Tiezhu couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Where did she get the money to build it?"

Chen Liuniang said: "Mr. Lu met an old Taoist with a white beard a few months ago. The Taoist said that her bones were amazing and she was a good material for martial arts, so he took her to practice martial arts. Then he gave her food and asked her to build these thing."

Zhang Tiezhu was speechless after hearing this, and said: "...Are you talking about a story like this? You still have strange bones..."

An Ran did arrange it according to the routine of martial arts novels, but Chen Liuniang didn't know that. She couldn't help but rolled her eyes at Zhang Tiezhu and said, "Forget it if you don't believe it."

When Zhang Tiezhu went out to ask people, he found that the wall that was about to be built was really built by the leader's mother-in-law. He couldn't help but open his mouth and was almost shocked.

Immediately, he went back and asked Chen Liuniang, "What kind of person is that white-bearded old man? What does he want to do when he gets close to my sister-in-law?"

Because Li Xiu is the leader, he calls An Ran his sister-in-law.

Chen Liuniang said angrily: "How do I know this? I only met him once when he first appeared. Later, after Mr. Lu practiced martial arts with him, they kept in touch with him privately, and we don't know. But that man must be really an old god. Because after Ms. Lu practiced martial arts with him, she became more and more powerful. Not only did she become stronger, she could beat several men by herself, but she also understood many things. Ms. Lu said that it was the old god who taught her, so this should be It’s true, after all, Lu didn’t know anything like this before.”

Zhang Tiezhu didn't see anything important coming out of the question, so he immediately said: "No, I have to go back quickly and tell my brother about this. I don't know if there is anything fishy in this. Let's see what he says."

Although he followed his eldest brother all over the world and gained more knowledge than before, he still didn't know as much as his eldest brother, so he still let his eldest brother take a look.

It's a pity that the war has been intense recently and my eldest brother has no time to come back. Otherwise, it would be best to let him come back and see for himself.

Li Xiu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard about such a thing that only appeared in story books. However, as Zhang Tiezhu said, the situation on the front line changed rapidly and he couldn't withdraw from the battlefield at all, so he could only be surprised. , can’t go back.

He just asked: "Do you think your sister-in-law is really good at martial arts?"

Zhang Tiezhu knew this, and immediately nodded and said: "She is really good at martial arts. She is now recruiting a patrol team, saying she is protecting her hometown. I have seen her teaching those patrol team members martial arts, and she does seem to be good at it. Moreover, she and I also watched the fights between the patrol members, and it would be no problem for her to fight ten people by herself. It seems that the old man with the white beard is not a liar."

Li Xiu felt relieved when he heard that he was not a liar. What he was most afraid of was that his wife, who was illiterate and had little knowledge, would be deceived by someone.

At this time, the people below reported that a certain team was looting. Li Xiu got angry when he heard it, and said: "Didn't I say you are not allowed to loot? What's going on? You dare to disobey the military order and you don't want to live?! Give up immediately!" If they stop, if they don’t stop, I’ll kill them first.”

After hearing this, Zhang Tiezhu couldn't help but persuade: "Brother, will this offend our brothers? Now is the critical time for the uprising. We come from all over the world. Not everyone is ours. Those people only superficially say they are ours." , but in fact they are independent. If we deal with them, will there be internal changes?"

Li Xiu now claims to have an army of 400,000 people. In fact, he doesn't have many true direct descendants. There are quite a few who are rebels from various places. Seeing that Li Xiu is the best, they came to join the army.

At first, Li Xiu welcomed it. After all, the more people came, the greater the momentum. But now he found that having more people was not necessarily a good thing. Many people did not obey orders. For example, he generally asked that no one be allowed to rob the people, and even more He is not allowed to prostitute his wife and daughter, but except for his direct lineage who will listen, many others from all over the country will not listen at all, and they will not listen. In order to unite, he cannot do anything to them. This has greatly ruined the reputation of the rebels. After all, the common people didn't know what was going on. They only knew that they were members of the Li Jiajun.

When he first started to rebel, people welcomed him wherever he went, and everyone joined enthusiastically. After all, everyone was starving to death. If we followed him together, we could at least live one more day; now that his reputation has become bad, Wherever the common people run away from thieves, they are afraid that their property will be robbed and their wives and daughters will be robbed.

Li Xiu naturally noticed this situation and was naturally very angry.

Just as Zhang Tiezhu said, the war is now tense and he really can't deal with them at this time. The more he thought about it, the more angry Li Xiu couldn't help but kicked the table in annoyance and said: "Damn it! One day we will have to do it." Kill these bastards!"

This means not to deal with those people, but only to persuade them to stop messing around. But just persuading them will not have much effect. In the end, the reputation of the rebels will become worse and worse, and it will also give the court a reason to criticize them.

It can be seen from this little thing that Li Xiu himself is not bad. He may have abilities, but he is not big enough to dominate the world. After all, he cannot even maintain the discipline of the army, let alone other things?
