I am not a counselor, I am trying to survive in the late Han Dynasty

Chapter 14: Let me introduce you to a soft persimmon
Guan Hai's fleet passed through the reed swamp, and everyone quickly resisted at the foot of Liangshan Mountain.

On the pier, there were already many people waiting there, supporting the elderly and the young. Seeing that Guan Hai and his army had returned intact, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, with happy expressions on their faces.

But when they looked at Xu Shu and others, their faces clearly showed fear, and they were obviously wary of these strangers.

Xu Shu jumped off the boat and stood firmly on the ground. His anxious heart finally let go. An overwhelming feeling of exhaustion came over him, making him almost fall to the ground.

A whole day of rushing and fighting consumed most of Xu Shu's neatness, and he already felt unsustainable when confronting Guan Hai. He just knew that the enemy was ahead, and he had to cheer up, so that he could scare Guan Hai as much as possible.

Guan Hai kowtowed and admitted his mistake and agreed to cooperate with Xu Shu, but Xu Shu still did not dare to be careless at all. He did not relax until the whole army stood on the ground.

The danger is lifted.

Standing on the ground, Guan Hai's army could no longer pose much of a threat to them. Without the advantage of water warfare, Guan Hai's Yellow Turban Army was just a bunch of chickens and dogs that could be crushed instantly with just one charge.

Different from the confusion before departure, Xu Shu's army at this moment was high in fighting spirit and could be called an elite soldier. Each of them had a fierce and proud look on their faces. Under Xu He's command and dispatch, they unloaded the grain and grass in an orderly manner and neatly They piled them up and started busy setting up camp. This was something that was never possible in Cao's army before. In the past, Cheng Yu had to drive them away with brutal orders to get them to reluctantly devote themselves to repairing the barracks.

But now, despite being extremely tired from the long journey, the 300 people started to set up camp in an orderly manner. They were even talking and laughing, and their faces were completely different from the people in Liangshan.

In sharp contrast to them is the Yellow Turban Army under Guan Hai.

After a busy day with no results, they returned home dejectedly. Looking at the eager expectant eyes of their wives, children, old and weak, these men all lowered their heads helplessly, either ashamed or indignant. Everyone looked at the people who were quickly setting up camp with complicated eyes. Xu Shujun neatly stacked the bags of rice and couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva.

"Qu Shuai, if we lure these thieves up the mountain, will it... bring trouble?" Sima Ju asked Guan Hai worriedly.

Guan Hai stood in the night wind. The mountain breeze blew his gray hair and made the empty sleeve of his right hand sway.

He looked at Xu Shu's military camp with a deep look and sighed:
"I am helpless. If I were ten years younger, if I still had this arm, I would not lead my men to be trapped in the barren mountains.

But now I have no other choice. Rather than sit back and wait for death, I might as well... take a gamble. "

"But this person insulted Qu Shuai too much!"

"Hehehe..." Guan Hai shook his head gently, "So what if you insult me? I'm not from a wealthy family, a high-ranking official, trying to survive in troubled times, so what if you insult me?
Being able to take care of my sons and daughters is what I want in my life. "

Sima Ju curled his lips, feeling quite desolate in his heart.

Qu Shuai is old and has nothing to do in the year of famine.

But what about Xu Shu?

Can this person really fulfill his promise, help everyone raise rice, and survive this cold winter smoothly?

At night, Xu Shu's camp was finally built.

There is no moon or stars tonight, and the bone-piercing north wind is like a sharp knife that scrapes the bones, making people unable to open their eyes.

Xu Shu was so sleepy that he felt dizzy. He squatted by the water and spread a handful of cold water on his face. He finally regained some clarity. Only then could he clearly feel the hunger and a slight fear in his belly.

In this day, he held Cheng Yu hostage, threatened Guan Hai, and collided with famous figures in the world. He finally found a place to stay, and gathered a group of men who could fight with him. He had a way to survive in this troubled world. A little help.

But where to go next?
He was confident that his martial arts and resourcefulness were passable, otherwise he would not be remembered in history and let people take the trouble to find him thousands of years later.

But do you really want to do what he said and help the legendary Lord of Destiny, the cruel and unkind Cao Cao?

Xu Shu was quite resistant to Cao Cao from the bottom of his heart, but if he didn't help him, who would be the one who could bring peace to the troubled times and save the people from the fire and water?

He was thinking in a daze, and suddenly heard a person beside him saying in a low voice:
"Xiao Xu?"

Xu Shu shuddered, and when he looked sideways, he saw Mr. Ai standing beside him with a stern look on his face, rubbing his hands and saying expectantly:
"Xiao Xu, why are you washing your face by yourself? You're a bit out of place."

Xu Shu grinned and said with a bitter smile:

"I'm a little sleepy, I almost fell asleep just now."

Mr. Ai whispered:

"You can't sleep. You have to gather your brothers to find Guan Hai tonight." "What?" Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, then patted his head, "Yes, I promised before that I would share the rice grains with Guan Hai. Part of me was so sleepy that I actually forgot about it, thank you Mr. Ai for your guidance."

"What the hell..." Mr. Ai rolled his eyes and grabbed Xu Shu's sleeve, "What nonsense are you talking about! Are you really going to share the food with these people?"

"Of course, integrity is the foundation, and repeated words are the treasure. Since I promised Guan Hai, in exchange for us going up the mountain to establish ourselves, we should keep our promise and share some rice with them."

Mr. Ai was stunned and said helplessly:
"What are you talking about? Look where there is food now? You don't even have enough to eat, so you share it with others. What's the use of sharing it with these people?
I have seen it before. Most of the people on this mountain are old and weak. The people who surrounded us during the day are also very thin.

Let's make the sergeants eat well and have a good rest. We will attack at dawn and kill Guan Hai's old dog first. Then we will kill all the way. In a short time, we will kill everyone on the mountain.

Now is not the time to be a Holy Mother. As the saying goes, a man is innocent and harbors a treasure. If you have so much food, if you don't rob others, others will rob you! "

"What does the Holy Mother mean?"

"That's right, you're the one! I can understand you saying that using food to make friends with powerful men and powerful generals is of no use to these old, weak, sick and disabled people? If you had been sprayed to death in the novels of our time, you were decisive in killing. Do you understand at all?
Let me tell you the truth, in history, Guan Hai was just a sidekick who was instantly killed by Guan Yu. What ability could he have if he couldn't even defeat Guan Yu?Do you really expect him to help you defeat those fierce generals under Lu Bu?Let alone defeat Lu Bu. "

Xu Shu smiled and said:

"If I can't defeat Lu Bu, can I go and defeat Cao Cao? I don't know Lu Bu's men. Cheng Yu has a great reputation. Didn't he fall into my plan and be easily captured by me?"

"You, you, you..." Mr. Ai's face turned so serious that he said, "How dare you, my mother-in-law, fight with Mr. Cao and risk your life? I am doing this for your own good, for your own good!"

As he spoke, he was afraid that Xu Shu would make up his mind, so he quickly took Xu Shu's cold hand and whispered:

"I'm on the same side as you, Xiao Xu, I can't just watch you die.

In this way, I recommend to you a soft persimmon under Lu Bu, which is guaranteed to explode as soon as you squeeze it and make him fall into pieces. "

Xu Shu's eyes lit up:
"Please tell me! Who is it!"

Mr. Ai hummed proudly and whispered:
"Zhang Liao! I won't tell ordinary people!"

"Zhang Liao?" Xu Shu said the name repeatedly.

Mr. Ai was afraid that Xu Shu would not believe it, so he quickly said:

"This Zhang Liao is a barbarian from the north. He followed Lu Bu and became the governor of the north. In fact, he is just as brave and foolhardy as Lu Bu. He is greedy for life and fearful of death and has no fighting spirit.

As long as Xiao Xu personally leads the charge to challenge Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao will be so frightened that he flees. Then you won't be able to grab his military rations if you want?
This is something that most people don’t know. Only I, a time traveler, can know it in detail. Don’t let me down! "

Xu Shu nodded very happily:

"Thank you, Mr. Ai, for your advice. I didn't know that Lu Bu had such a person under his command. I'll plan carefully. If this person is nearby, I will definitely ask him to borrow food!"

Mr. Ai was overjoyed: "Xiao Xu, I knew you could do it! With your wisdom and knowledge, we would have been able to save all the people in the world from the fire. We can accomplish great things, great things can be accomplished!"

Mr. Ai smiled on his face, and even more so in his heart.

Wow hahaha, maggots are really stupid and love to show off, and they dare to use such precious food of their own to become the Holy Mother. Well, I like to be, let you see the power of Liao Shen, the leader of the five good generals.

Hehe, when you die, I will wait for an opportunity to instigate Xu He to kill Guan Hai. Then I will eliminate a big disaster for Duke Cao. I will take your maggot heads and go to Duke Cao to ask for credit. Only Cao Gong can do it. He must be very satisfied with me. When the time comes, it will be no problem to be granted the title of Marquis or Prime Minister. When the time comes, I will be so confused whether I should ask Duke Cao for a big Qiao or a Xiao Qiao.

Thinking of this, he drooled even more, tugged at the corner of Xu Shu's clothes, and said cheerfully:
"Celebration banquet, let's have a celebration banquet, don't be polite to brother."

Xu Shu also held Mr. Ai's arm with a smile. Seeing Mr. Ai's face full of smiles, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise slightly.

Mr. Ai was so frightened by him that he asked with a silly smile:

"What's wrong Yuan Nao?"

"Haha, nothing happened. I just think that Xu is really lucky to have a time traveler like Mr. Ai to help him."
