Chapter two hundred and seventy-eight subduing the hungry

The second elder was very efficient in his work. Not long after the castle master issued the order, he found a group of people from outside and came back.

Originally there were about 200 people in the fort, but the second elder brought back more than 200 people.

The two groups of people, added up, totaled almost exactly 500 people.

After gathering the people, the second elder walked into the lobby and said to the fort master and Liu Xian: "Fort master, benefactor, we have gathered everyone, what should we do now?"

The castle owner did not speak immediately, but looked at Liu Xian.

Liu Xian stood up and said with a smile: "Since the people have been found, let's go and have a look."

When the three of them arrived at the martial arts arena, they saw more than 200 people standing on the ground with their heads hanging down, all listless.

Seeing the arrival of the three people, one of the commanders under the fort lord shouted loudly: "Cheer up, why don't you hurry up and see the fort lord?"

"See...see...fort...lord..."

A mixed group of people agreed feebly.

Seeing how miserable these people were, the fort master frowned and said, "My dear benefactor, can these people defeat Zhu Dachang's elite soldiers and generals?"

"Well, you can't say that. The power of the people is unlimited."

Liu Xian waved his hand and walked forward with a smile.

He turned to look at the fort master and the second elder, and continued: "The key is to mobilize their enthusiasm."

While talking, he shouted to the hungry people: "Do you want to eat white flour steamed buns?"

"What, are there white-flour steamed buns?"

"Where are they? Where are the white flour steamed buns?"



Just the sound of his voice made the hungry people boil with excitement. They were all as excited as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood.

He immediately rushed towards Liu Xian, but was blocked by the fort master's people.

Liu Xian smiled and said: "From today on, the steamed buns are enough, but you have to listen to me."

A hungry man squeezed to the front and said with a playful smile: "Sir, as long as we can eat white flour steamed buns, we can do whatever you want."

Liu Xian smiled and said lightly: "What if I let you die?"

"Ah? This..."

A group of hungry people looked at each other, not daring to talk to each other.

After all, there is no such thing as free steamed buns in this world. The people from Wubao must have some conspiracy to recruit them here for no apparent reason.

However, these people are already going crazy with hunger, so how can they care about this?

Seeing a group of hungry people sitting on wax, Liu Xian smiled again and said:

"Don't worry, everyone, I won't let you die, but what we do next may lead to death. Do you want to follow me?

You should think about it before making a decision. If you are afraid of death, you can just get a steamed bun now and leave."

While he was talking, someone was already carrying a large basket of steaming steamed buns that had just been steamed.

Gulu!

When asked about the aroma of steamed buns, these hungry people went crazy.

Each eye glowed green, like a hungry wolf that had seen its prey.

However, after looking at the guards with swords, they still suppressed the impulse in their hearts.

At this moment, a person suddenly shouted:

"Anyway, outside, I will starve to death sooner or later. I am willing to follow you!"

With the person taking the lead, the others will follow suit.

"Sir, I am willing to do it with you."

"I do too!"

"Count me in!"



Liu Xian had a bright smile on his face.

Seeing that the atmosphere had reached its peak, he said loudly: "Now, divide the steamed buns, one for each person. Don't take more. The steamed buns are enough."

With that said, he motioned to the fort owner's people to place the basket of steamed buns in the center of the field.

Ula!

More than two hundred hungry people rushed forward.

Someone only took one steamed bun and quietly left.

But some people took several of them and even got into conflicts with others.

Some people thought they were right, swallowed one in their mouth, and secretly took another one.

Liu Xian didn't look good. He overestimated the self-discipline of these hungry people.

He said to a subordinate next to him: "Take note of all those who don't follow the rules."

"promise!"

The subordinates agreed and quickly ordered their companions to do as Liu Xian wanted.

In the blink of an eye, more than 200 steamed buns were sold out.

And there were dozens of people who didn't receive the steamed buns.

The people who grabbed the steamed buns were all without exception. At this time, there were no steamed buns in their hands.

They had already eaten it.

Liu Xian had a smile on his face and winked at the men next to him.

The man understood and shouted at the hungry people: "Now, all line up."

When the hungry people lined up, seven or eight people from Wubao immediately pulled out those who had brought extra steamed buns.

Liu Xian smiled and asked: "Just now, I asked each of you to take one. Why didn't you listen to my order?"

"us……"

The hungry people could not answer.

At this time, Liu Xian's face suddenly turned cold and he shouted: "Stop talking and drive them out."

After finishing speaking, the people from Wubao immediately rushed forward and drove those people away.

From time to time, someone in the crowd shouted: "I just got an extra steamed bun, what's the big deal?"

However, Liu Xian ignored them at all.

When those people walked away, Liu Xian turned to look at the fort master and the second elder, and asked with a smile:

"Do you know why I want to drive away those people?"

The castle master thought for a while and said slowly: "These people don't obey orders now, and they won't obey orders when they go to the battlefield in the future.

If you take such a person to the battlefield, it will be a big problem at the critical moment."

Liu Xian nodded and said with appreciation: "That's good."

He paused and continued: "Next, I will teach you another trick."

When he saw the fort master and the second elder, they all looked curious, and Liu Xian didn't show off.

He shouted to the more than 100 people who stayed behind: "Any of you who have family members outside the city can be brought in."

As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion among the crowd.

Someone excitedly said: "Can I bring my daughter in?"

Someone was a little embarrassed and said, "Can I bring my wife in?"

"I'm outside, and I have an old lady."



Liu Xian smiled and said: "Of course it's no problem. I'll ask the people from Wubao to take you there."

"Great!"

"That's great!"

Some people cried with joy.



"Thank you, sir!"

Everyone cheered and knelt on the ground, roaring like a tsunami.

The castle owner was behind him, clapped his hands and shouted: "My benefactor, this is a good move, just bring in their families.

Then everything they do is for their families, and we won’t be afraid that they won’t sacrifice their lives when the time comes!”

Some of the more than 200 people found by the second elder were driven away, and now there are only more than 100 people left. Including the original people of Wubao, there are almost 400.

After gathering all the people, Liu Xian stepped up training for them.

After all, the food that was originally enough to last for two months, including these people, was only enough to last for about twenty days.

Next, Liu Xian will spend half a month training these people.
