Ao Cangling Chen Xi was patrolling the city surrounded by dozens of visitors.

More than two months ago, hungry people appeared around Aocang, and now there have been no less than 50,000 people!

Now is the time when the green and yellow people are not in line. Most of the people in Liang have eaten up all the autumn grains from last year. The newly sown spring grains have not yet reached the harvest season. In addition, the Chu and Han wars have been fought over the years, and the grain tax sent by Liang Wang Peng Yue is extremely heavy. Therefore, many families have already stopped and come to Ao Cang and ask Ao Cang to open the warehouse and release the grain.

Ao Cang has grain, which is known to everyone in the world. Now these hungry people are pointing at Ao Cang’s millet to save their lives.

Fifty thousand hungry people gathered around Ao Cang, how could Chen Xi dare to take it lightly? If it weren't for the strict orders that the people were not allowed to be killed, Chen Xi would have sent troops to force the people to drive them away. Ao Cang's grain was public grain in the national treasury, military grain, and it was to supply the Han King's army, who would dare to have the idea of ​​this military grain?

Standing on the top of Aocang City and looking down the mountain, I saw stars and lights of fire everywhere in the wilderness, and the crying of hungry people was faintly heard by the wind. When I heard this sound, most people were starving to death again! In fact, in the past two months, hundreds of hungry people have starved to death every day, and people in troubled times have been as cheap as dogs.

The guest Hou Chang couldn't bear it and advised: "Sir, why don't you put some food?"

"No!" Chen Xi refused flatly, "Once the warehouse is opened and grain is released, the hungry people in all counties will definitely come here. There are more than one million hungry people in the entire Liang land? Although Ao Cang has a lot of grain, it has to help millions of hungry people. It will not last long. Moreover, the food is given to the hungry people. What will be used to supply the Han King's army at that time?"

Hou Chang sighed and stopped talking, thinking that he couldn't blame Ao Cangling for being cruel.

After Chen Xi finished inspecting, he ordered his disciple Zhang Chun and said, "Zhang Chun, you will send messengers to Xingyang, Suoyi, Jingyi, Guangwu and Chenggao cities respectively. Be sure to tell all the adults that there are more and more hungry people gathering around Ao Cang. Just relying on the three thousand defenders in Ao Cang City, it is no longer enough to deal with it. Let them draw reinforcements immediately."

"No!" The guest Zhang Chun agreed with the promise and immediately took the order.

Chen Xi took a group of disciples down the city wall and headed straight to the yamen office.

As soon as he entered the gate, a junior official came forward and said mysteriously: "Sir, a guest is here to visit."

Chen Xi was usually very respectful to the wise and could be humble even when facing farmers. When he heard that a guest was visiting, he quickly straightened his clothes and carefully dusted off the dust and grass chips that fell on his robe. Then he entered the hall and asked the lieutenant in a low voice: "Where did the guest come from?"

The junior official at the school frowned and said, "You will know it as soon as you see it."

Chen Xi stopped asking more questions and made great strides into the living room of the government office.

There were indeed two people standing in the living room. One was slim and charming, with a white cloth quilt on his head, a white white dress with a straight collar and a white hair dress with dark clouds and green silk like a waterfall. He turned out to be a little girl. The other was tall and sturdy, wearing a dark black dress and holding a long sword, looking like a warrior.

Hearing Chen Xi's footsteps, the two of them turned around.

Chen Xi felt his eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw that the little girl's eyebrows were like a fairy in the moon, so beautiful that even the dizzy living room became brighter because of her. When he looked at the man again, he was a middle-aged man with a loyal face and a frosty face. His figure fell half a step away from the little girl, most likely she was guarding her.

"I'm going to Chen Xi." Chen Xi bowed deeply to the two of them and said aloud, "I've seen two of them."

"I heard that the Lord is a remnant of the Great Wei family and has always admired Xinling Jun, right?" The little girl smiled slightly, as if a hundred flowers were blooming. Chen Xi's eyes were straightened, and forgot to answer for a while.

"Rareless!" The middle-aged man was furious when he saw this and reached out to draw his sword.

"Uncle Dong must not be rude." The young lady quickly stopped the middle-aged man.

Chen Xi woke up like a dream, and immediately bowed and apologized: "I have been offended just now, I'll forgive me for my crime."

"The little girl does not believe in the way of Confucius and Mencius, so naturally there is no taboo of not being treated rudely. If the adults think that the little girl's appearance is still eye-catching, it's okay to look at it more." The little girl smiled sweetly, then reached out and gently lifted a strand of black hair in her ear, which became more and more charming, and said, "However, the adults have not answered the little girl's question yet."

Chen Xi didn't dare to look at it anymore, and immediately replied with a glance: "I was indeed from Wei, and I admire Xinling Jun very much, but now there is no Great Wei anymore."

"Nonsense!" the middle-aged man said angrily again, "The royal family of the Great Wei is still there, how can you know there is no day for revival?"

"Uncle Dong!" The young lady frowned and stopped the middle-aged man again. She turned to Chen Xi and said, "Sir, if Xinling is here, do you think he will watch the 50,000 hungry people at the foot of Ao Mountain starve to death?"

Chen Xi sighed: "Ao Cang's grain is the public grain of the national treasury and military grain, and there is no right to deal with it without authorization."

The little girl said again: "As the saying goes, things are urgently followed. Now the 50,000 hungry people at the foot of Aoshan are hungry. Hundreds of hunger people die from hunger every day. You may as well release food first, and then report to the King of Han. The King of Han is known to everyone. I think I will not blame the Lord, and maybe I will also praise the righteous act of the Lord of the People for their charity."

"This..." Chen Xi was speechless. Although he knew that the little girl was wrong, he was unable to refute it. If he refuted it, wouldn't he be saying that Liu Bang was unkind and unrighteous? He couldn't afford this charge!

"The little girl said this, so think twice." After that, the little girl left straight.

Chen Xi watched the little girl's slim and charming figure disappear outside the gate of the government office. Until she could not see anything, she reluctantly withdrew her gaze. However, a feeling of loss suddenly arose in her heart. He really wanted to chase after her and keep the little girl, and even did not hesitate to use force, but in the end he still controlled the desire in his heart.

After all, Chen Xi is an ambitious person. He doesn't want to destroy the image of "seeing the wise and the inferior" that he finally established.

Outside the Ao Cangling Office, Xiao Niang and Dong Bo were urging the horse to walk slowly.

Dong Bo asked as he walked, "Princess, do you think Chen Xi will open a warehouse to release grain?"

"I don't know, although this Chen Xi is famous, I can't see through him." The little girl shook her head and said quietly, "But there is only one I can do for the people of Wei."

Dong Bo Surong said, "Princess, if you really want to think about the people of the Great Wei, you should call on the high ground and summon the powerful tribes of Wei to restore the country for the Great Wei!"

The little girl shook her head again and sighed, "Dong Bo, Chen Xi is right. There is no Great Wei anymore. Even if you summon the powerful clans of Wei and successfully restore the country, you will just be just a riot. This will only bring greater disaster to the people of Wei." After saying this, the little girl said, "Also, Dong Bo, don't call me princess again in the future. How dare you call me princess a daughter of a devastated country? Dong Bo, from now on, you should call me Wuyang."

"This..." Dong Bo said in a panic, "How dare I?"

The little lady sighed again and said sadly: "When Father was the last one, I was only ten years old and didn't know anything. You rescued me from the sea of ​​fire. If it weren't for you, Dong Bo, I would have been burned to death long ago. Later, you taught me to read and learn from the leaders of the hundreds of schools. Dong Bo, you are my elders, and I am your granddaughter, okay?"

"Princess," Dong Bo also moved his feelings and said while wiping his tears, "If it weren't for the former king, the old slave would have starved to death as early as a child. The old slave once swore to the heavens to be loyal to the Great Wei forever and to protect the royal children forever. These are all the things that the old slave should do. If you say this, the old slave is really ashamed."

The little girl didn't say much, and under the night sky, there was only a faint sigh.

In the Beim Mountains, Xiang Zhuangzheng and Wei Liao and Wushe discussed the strategy of seizing Ao Cang.

Ao Cang was built by Qin Shihuang. Wei Liao was the former Qin Taiwei and had inspected Ao Cang several times. He had a good understanding of the terrain there. Ao Cang was built on Ao Mountain, surrounded by a city block. The city wall was more than five meters high. There was a steep slope under the wall, and the clear height was even more than ten meters. If you want to attack for a strong force, you will inevitably suffer heavy casualties!

What’s worse is that I don’t know how many defenders there are in Aocang City!

The three of them were thinking hard and there was a sudden sound of rapid footsteps. When they looked back quickly, they saw Gongsun Sui strode into the cliff cave, then bowed to Xiangzhuang, and then gasped and said, "Report to General, the villain led people to spy on Aoshan overnight, and found that there were tens of thousands of hungry people gathered at the foot of Aoshan!"

"Hmm!" Xiang Zhuang frowned when he heard this, "There are tens of thousands of hungry people gathered at the foot of Ao Mountain?"

Wei Liao stroked his long beard under his chin and suddenly smiled and said, "General, God helps me, where is the Great Chu?"

Xiang Zhuang's heart moved and said in a deep voice: "What does the military advisor mean that Qiao Zhuang Cheng's hungry people attack Ao Cang City?"

"Yes." Wei Liao nodded happily, "Ao Cang was built on the mountain, the city was high and thick, so it was easy to defend and difficult to attack. If our army did not use a strange plan and attack rashly, there would be many people who would be killed or injured. Five hundred soldiers would first climb to the death, and then there would probably be only a few left."

After saying this, Wei Liao said again: "Also, these tens of thousands of hungry people have brought another benefit to the Great Chu. The general can take this opportunity to reverse the image of the Chu army's cruel and incorruptible image in one fell swoop!"

Wu Shedao: "The military advisor said that he would give all the grain from Ao Cang to these hungry people?"

"It's not just these tens of thousands of hungry people. It's April now, and it's the time when the general is out of control. Once the news of opening the warehouse and releasing grains will spread, the people of Liang will surely flock to you. In a few days, Ao Cang's grain will be distributed. By then, the reputation of the Chu army's benevolence and righteousness has become. Even if Liu Bang sends a large army to come, he will not be able to recover Ao Cang's grains!"
