Chapter 263 Requisition for Food (1)

"Another old man, how can you live comfortably during these days? How can you sleep soundly? Are you eating smoothly?"

“Comfortable, comfortable……………”

When the old man walked into Meng Tian's camp, he was nervous. When he saw Meng Tian's kindness, he respected an old man like him and couldn't help but feel frightened.

During the Warring States Period, the afterglow of feudal society was not yet fully emerged, and there was still a gap of identity between the nobles and the common people.

Meng Tian, ​​who was in front of him, was at least an aristocrat, as a general of the Qin State. None of the nobles that the old man saw in Daliang City was not a gaze.

"Please sit, please sit!"

When Meng Tian saw that the old man was standing next to the tent, he was at a loss and asked him to sit down.

"In front of the general, there is no reason for me to sit."

The old man remembered that after living for so many years, he had never sat in front of the nobles and spoke.

"The general asked you to sit, and you just sit. Where did you come from so much nonsense?"

Meng Bao, behind the old man, felt both angry and funny at his timid look.

"I'll sit, can't I sit still..."

Even the old man's ears were buzzing sounds constantly wandering, and he sat in the guest seat in the direction of Meng Tian's finger.

When I sat down, a different feeling arose in the old man's heart. For the first time in his life, I had a place to sit in front of the nobles.

Although this nobleman came from Qin.

"I heard that your family has been living through generations, how many words can you know?

In ancient times, few people knew literacy, and older men were able to read, which invisibly improved his status among the Wei people in the camp.

The formation of authority sometimes comes from age and knowledge. These two things happen to be both old men.

"When it comes to fighting updates, in Daliang City, I only have the most accurate time to fight updates. Now, I don't know how many people who fight updates come from the disciples of the older man..."

The old man's uneasiness disappeared a little, and he also said more words.

Meng Tian patiently listened to the old man's story. His family's career was passed down from generation to generation. In Daliang City, it is a famous family of the new generation.

"It's a pity that my husband, who is fighting for the update, is about to be lost now..."

Finally, the old man's eyes became dimmed and he sighed deeply: "My son and grandson have now become a strong man to help defend the city. I don't know if he can survive."

When craftsmen in ancient times took their apprentices, they always kept their skills, and the key techniques had to be left to their descendants. After leaving the city, the older man remembered that there were still a few tricks that had not been passed on to his son.

"Dalian city is strong, and our army will not choose to attack."

Even the old man was worried, and Meng Tian knew it: "When water attacks the beam, as long as your son and grandson can swim, they will most likely survive."

It is no secret that the Qin army attacked Daliang by water, and there is no need for Meng Tian to hide it.

"It's good to survive..." The old man murmured.

Around Daliang City, there were canals crisscrossing. When Bai Gui was appointed as the Prime Minister of Wei, he further improved the water conservancy system outside Daliang. When Daliang's children went to the river to take a bath and went into the pond to catch fish, there were many people who knew how to use water.

"In my opinion, after the Daliang City was destroyed, there must be many people surviving. But how to save them is a big problem..."

As the saying goes, water and fire are ruthless, but in military terms, water attack is much more kind than fire attack. People can also find wooden boards to float to survive in the water. If they encounter a rolled fire, think about the fire-breathing weapons in later generations.

"The general is willing to rescue the Wei people in the city?"

The old man was no longer confused at this time, and he could hear the outside of Meng Tian's words.

"The Qin State went out of Hangu in the east and annexed the world in order to end the disputes in the Warring States Period and return to unite the world. Whether it was the Qin people or the Wei people, they were all part of the Huaxia people. How could they watch the people of Daliang in danger and not rescue them?"

The old man did not accuse the Qin people at this time. The Qin people attacked Daliang by the water. The words of helping the Wei people were spoken out of the Qin people, which seemed a bit abrupt.

Even the old man lived for so long, and he could see some things clearly. A war between the two countries is like a fight between two tigers, and only the strong can gather in the mountains and forests.

"Then what can I do for the general?"

The older man touched his silver beard, turned his eyes, and felt the burden on his shoulders heavier.

······

"Dear fellow villagers, the Qin people saw that I was the oldest and appointed me as the three elders in this refugee camp."

Even the old man slowly climbed to the high platform in the refugee camp, and a Qin soldier held a big bronze trumpet in front of him.

"The snake cannot do without a head. The two and the three sons do not trust the Qin people, and there is no one in the middle to communicate with the Qin people. I am so old that the Qin people will not do anything to me. If you dare not say anything, I am even older, but I dare to say it."

The older man suddenly put on the crutches in his hand and thought to himself, if you meet the chief general of the Qin army, your tone will be stable, and you will probably dare to speak.

However, the chief general of the Qin army was easy to communicate, so he was unwilling to disclose it to the Wei people in the camp.

"Tell you the truth. I have already met the Qin army general today. Didn't you say that you drink porridge every day, but now you want to vomit when you see the porridge? Hehe, I'll tell the Qin army general."

The old man stood up and looked very proud.

"What did the chief general of the Qin army say?" Everyone was curious.

"The chief general of the Qin army said that he also wanted to improve everyone's diet, but he was suffering from insufficient food."

Meng Tian showed Geng's old man the food consumed in the refugee camp. The old man couldn't say how much it was. He only knew that the whole family had eaten it with open stomachs and could not finish it for ten years.

"How come the Qin army had no food?" Some Wei people were angry, "The Qin army soldiers can still eat pickles every day!"

These Wei people's words attracted the angry eyes of the guards.

Naim, I am working with my head on my back and always ready to go to the battlefield. Don’t you still have enough food?!

"You can't say that."

The old man was not angry and shook his head with a smile, "When I was waiting in Daliang City, do you still remember how the food was supplied?"

The Wei people in the camp were silent and didn't say anything. Thinking about it carefully, it was already good that the Qin army, as the enemy, could supply them with porridge.

"Food is given priority for the supply of grain to the royal palace, to protect the imperial guards, and to allocate it to the soldiers guarding the city walls. If we can drink a sip of porridge, we will thank God Yu."

The old man's words were ridiculed. The King of Wei ordered them to drive away the old man who could only eat but could not work, which really made the old man feel full of resentment.

"I am just because the King of Wei is useless, so I arrived at the Qin people's military camp. If I want to have a dry meal, shouldn't I make something to prove that I am useful?"
