    The county's catchers, Kuaishou, and even the men who were registered as strong men were sent to patrol outside the city to guard against unrest.  Yesterday, Zhu Guanggang ordered the execution on the spot of several men who instigated looting and other handymen. In extraordinary times, extraordinary means must be used.  "County Lieutenant, will tomorrow's food be shipped now?" Chen Zhong asked from behind.  He was originally a fat man, but after half a month, he actually lost weight around his waist.  "Go ahead and bring more people with you. By the way, ask Qi County Cheng how many days he can still support you. Come back and let me know." "Promise." More than seven thousand stone grains, originally one meal per day, one person  Based on the principle of one share, it is still possible to feed the hungry people of Fanyang until the harvest in May. After all, although Fanyang is a large county, the number of households will decrease sharply when the Yellow Turbans occur.  But just as the big households in the county were worried, when Fan Yang distributed grain and porridge, hungry people from neighboring counties also came in droves.  Zhu Guang looked at the victims with green eyes, his face always tense.  When he passed a hay shed, he took one more look and stopped.  The person serving porridge inside was a woman, with her hair rolled up, her sleeves rolled up, and an apron tied around her waist. Several women were doing the work.  There were so many people in front of her shed and it was very noisy.  Gao Shun glanced at the young master, then turned around and winked at his subordinates.  Several teenagers immediately went up to open the crowd and let Zhu Guang in.  The porridge in other people¡¯s pots can reflect people¡¯s shadows, but this woman¡¯s pot was still sticky, and the aroma of corn penetrated her nose.  "Why not add water?" Zhu Guang asked.  "Do you care?" If someone else had said this, Gao Shun would have been furious.  There are so many hungry people, and you still cook it so thickly. Are you kind or malicious?  Do you really not take the donated food seriously?  If it's gone in a few minutes, what will you eat next?  But she was a woman, not very old, about fifteen or sixteen years old. Although she lowered her head and couldn't see her face clearly, her voice was very nice.  How could he do it?  "If you cook like this, you will eat up all the food in half a month at most, and those who deserve to starve will have to starve to death and add water." Zhu Guang said solemnly.  The woman raised her head, maybe because she knew Zhu Guang's identity, her big eyes showed surprise.  Then he lowered his head and pouted and said, "Isn't it okay if I don't exchange it?" "No." "Then, shall I exchange one scoop?" "No." "Two scoops?" Zhu Guang didn't know whether to laugh or be angry.  Still bargaining?  As a little girl, it's understandable that you are soft-hearted, but what time is it now?  Then she lowered her face and said: "How much porridge is there, how much water is mixed with it." "But, but" The woman seemed aggrieved.  How could Zhu Guang have time to talk nonsense with her here?  With a shake of his head, Gao Shun walked inside.  The woman was anxious and stretched out her hand to shake it.  Zhu Guang suddenly felt a yin energy and a biting cold!  Turning around, I discovered the problem.  There are all women and children in front of this shed!  They were all held in their arms and held in their hands.  At this time, the women's sad eyes were all cast on his face. Could it be that the yin energy was not strong?  Stopping Gao Shun who had already picked up the bucket, he asked: "Why are there all women and children here?" "I only give porridge to the weak here, so I cook it thicker! Besides, this is my own food!" The girl  He was so anxious that he had no choice but to speak so fast and his voice was so clear that the hungry men in line couldn't help but seek prestige.  When I saw that face, I thought to myself, could this not be a female Bodhisattva?  "Your own family's food? Which family does it belong to?" "I'm Qi's family!" Zhu Guang was stunned, Qi's family?  Qi Zhou¡¯s family?  You should have told me earlier!  It turns out that Qi Zhou promised to donate a hundred stones of grain in front of all the big families that day. You think of him as a person of character, but this grain will not go into the government's warehouse. He will send people directly to give alms to the hungry people.  As a result, this person was sent Looking at the women and the children in their arms, Zhu Guang understood what the Qi daughter was thinking.  "Okay, I don't care about you here." After saying that, he took the people away.  After walking a few steps, I looked back and smiled.  By the end of this tour, the sun was already heading west.  There was nothing he could do about it. Providing grain was now the top priority of official duties, and as the county captain, he had no shirking responsibility.  I was so hungry that I didn¡¯t even have the strength to move my feet.  Then he ordered his entourage and planned to go to the city and go home.  When passing by Qi's daughter's porridge soup hut, he glanced intentionally, and she happened to raise her head and saw him, and waved hurriedly: "Hey, hey, hey!" "What do you mean?" "This is to call the county captain.  " "Really?" Zhu Guang paused for a moment, and the Qi girl was really calling him.  He asked Gao Shun to take the people back to the city first, and he walked there himself.  At this time, the porridge service had finished, and there was no one in front of the shed. The servants were rinsing the pot.Zhu Guang came to the shed and said, "What's the matter?" The Qi girl pursed her lips and smiled, raised her finger to signal him to wait, and suddenly lowered her body.  After a while, a bowl was brought out like a magic trick and placed on the chopping board.  "I saw that you had been patrolling for a long time without eating or drinking, so I specially left a bowl for you. Look, there is also rice cake." Qi's daughter was quite proud.  When she smiles, there are shallow pear dimples at the corners of her mouth, which is pretty.  Zhu Guang also laughed: "Do you know who I am?" "Yes, you are the county captain of this county. My brother often mentions you." Zhu Guang also guessed who she was and asked with a smile: "It was you that day  Well, I just saw a figure running in and out, and then I saw only half of your face and one eye." But the Qi girl pretended to be stupid and widened her eyes: "What the hell?  Huh?" With bright eyes and white teeth, Zhu Guang suddenly remembered this word, looked at it for a moment, and lowered his head: "Yes, it's your eye." The Qi girl smiled and pushed the bowl in front of Zhu Guang:  "Eat quickly, it's still hot." I happened to be hungry, so I didn't hesitate to pick it up and drink it.  The girl was dumbfounded. This is a big bowl with rice dumplings. How many clatters did it take to finish?  After carrying the empty bowl, Qi's daughter asked in shock: "The county captain didn't have breakfast?" "Here, I have a big appetite." Zhu Guang was a little embarrassed.  "ThenI'll cook more tomorrow and leave two bowls for you!" Qi's daughter said seriously, pointing out two fingers.  Facing such a happy person, Zhu Guang seemed not to be hungry anymore, and his heavy heart became much lighter. He smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll eat less for breakfast tomorrow. By the way, I don't dare to let Brother Shi'an know.  Otherwise, you will have to say that I am acting for personal benefit." Qi's daughter really believed it and repeatedly reassured him that she would never reveal anything.  Seeing her cuteness, Zhu Guang teased her a few more times, but Qi's daughter noticed her. She raised her face, picked up the bowl, turned around, and let Zhu Guang call her, saying nothing.  It would have been a bad reputation for a county captain to tease a daughter of a good family, and it was difficult to talk to Qi Zhou, so Zhu Guang had to leave in disbelief.  After entering the city, I couldn't help but regret that this was the Han Dynasty after all, and it was not the time when I originally lived. I should be more careful in the future.  When I got home and ate, I still felt hungry, and I no longer had the interest to compete with Gao Shun.  As soon as it got dark, I went to bed early, not daring to practice that technique again.  When he first discovered that technique, Zhu Guang thought it was for health.  Because there are many dietary precautions recorded above.  Later I learned that practicing this technique must be coordinated with diet.  So in the past few years, as his strength has increased, his appetite has also gradually increased. Now that he lacks food and drink, how can he dare to practice again?  But I couldn¡¯t sleep while lying in bed, and my thoughts started to wander. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out????? But after serving as the county captain for more than a year, I realized that things were far from as simple as imagined.  But this was not enough to wear away his courage. Liu Bei also sold straw sandals.  The biggest problem now is that he is hungry Turning over and over, his stomach seemed to be scratched by a cat. Zhu Guang couldn't help but think of the bowl of corn porridge with crispy rice in the afternoon.  Just as he was reminiscing, a rapid knock on the door startled him.  When he went out, Gao Shun had already opened the door.  "Please Lieutenant Zhu County, come to the county office quickly!" On the way, Zhu Guang guessed at various things that might happen.  The first thing that comes to mind is a civil uprising. More and more hungry people are coming from other counties. If there is a conflict with the locals, it may trigger a riot; or there may be a food problem, which is the most fatal!  When he arrived at the county office, Fan Yangling's room in the back hall was still dimly lit.  As soon as he stepped through the threshold, he saw the county magistrate sitting behind the case with a frown on his face.  The sound of footsteps woke him up, and when he looked up and saw Zhu Guang, he only said: "Trouble is coming." From the county magistrate's tone and look, Zhu Guang knew that he had probably guessed it right.  "Look." The county magistrate picked up a piece of cloth from the case and handed it to Zhu Guang.  The latter took it and looked at it next to the lamp. There were only a few simple and familiar words on it, "Black Mountain Army borrows food," and the signature below was, "Zhang Yan."  While he was thinking about it, Qi Zhou arrived, looked at the piece of cloth, and said, "Now we're in trouble." Black Mountain Bandit is just a general term.  No one knows how many gangs of thieves there are in the rolling black mountains.  But one thing is certain, that is, these thieves all regard one person as their commander, and this person is Zhang Yan.  Zhu Guang's county lieutenant's job was not in vain. He found out that Zhang Yan's original name was Chu Yan, a native of Changshan Zhending, and the same hometown as Zhao Yun.  He should not be a direct subordinate of Zhang Jiao, because it is said that after the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, he led his troops to become bandits and fought and plundered in the mountains and swamps.  The officers and soldiers and Zhu??After the rebels retreated from Hebei, Zhang Yan returned to Changshan and his subordinates developed somewhat.  Zhang Niujiao, a native of Zhongshan County adjacent to Changshan, also led his troops to revolt after the army retreated. He joined Zhang Yan and attacked Julu County together.  Guo Dian, the governor of Julu, led his army to suppress the army. During the fierce battle, Zhang was killed by a stray arrow in his horns. Before his death, he asked his subordinates to support Chu Yan as their commander.  Just like that, Chu Yan changed her surname to Zhang.  It was also said that Zhang Yan was extremely brave, and his agility was better than that of Fei Xiao, so the Black Mountain bandits called him "Fei Yan".  Now that his challenge has reached Fan Yang, it is no wonder that the county magistrate feels that a disaster is imminent.  "It must be Fan Yang who is releasing grain, which has attracted the covetousness of the Black Mountain bandits. Zhang Yan claims to have hundreds of thousands of soldiers. If the army comes to Fan Yang, it will be a disaster!"
