Chapter 22 A battle of wits and courage

 Several people did not discuss any results, and Liu Chang thought to himself, "We are all the best people. I would have found a think tank. It would be best if I could find Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu and others."

Liu Chang couldn't help but smile bitterly and said to the two of them: "Okay, since there is no result, let's take a step by step. Although we don't have a specific plan, at least we are clear on how to go in the general direction. Then wait until everyone comes back. By the way, let's watch the movements of the old thief Huang."

In the following days, Liu Chang would send people out to find out the news every day. After many days of inquiring, there was no news. He only heard that he hired a lot of people to protect his house in the city. In the end, Wang Ye, who went out, came back, but there was no valuable news.

Everything was as calm as before, as if nothing had happened. But this time, Liu Chang was sending people to inquire about the news, and Huang Ji was gathering people.

Suddenly one day, Wang He said to Liu Chang: "Is it possible? Actually, the old thief Huang has no plans. After all, he is a landlord in the countryside. Maybe he only has the plan to hire someone to kidnap."

Liu Chang replied: "He is constantly gathering people now, and he always feels that he must be holding his heart down. He must be careful."

Wang He said: "He is actually afraid of us taking revenge. He should be just guarding us for the sake of us. After all, we are also a large number of people now. He is actually very afraid of us."

Liu Chang then asked Wang He: "Well, what you said makes sense. Then how do you think we should deal with him next?"

Wang He thought for a while and said, "Since now is not the best time to attack him, the stalemate between the two sides is not conducive to our work. After all, Brother Liu still wants to visit the heroes. Why not let me visit him and see if we can paralyze them in the name of asking for money and property. By the end of this year, before the great masters of Daxian are about to start a crime, we will complete revenge with another thunder blow."

Liu Chang said with some concern: "Will it be too dangerous for you to go? If the old thief is not good for you, it will be bad."

Wang He said affirmatively: "He definitely doesn't dare to do anything to me. After all, Brother Liu is staring at him with hundreds of people."

When Liu Chang thought that Wang He was right, he agreed to his plan: "Then you go around with Bai, pay attention to safety along the way and act carefully."

Wang He replied: "Please rest assured Brother Liu, I will be careful when I visit this time."

In the next few days, the weather became hotter and it seemed that it had not rained for a long time.

One evening, Wang He returned to the camp with a cart of property, and Liu Chang took everyone out to greet Wang He.

When Wang He saw everyone coming, he happily told Liu Chang about his experience of his trip: "As soon as we arrived at the door of the Huang family's house, we were welcomed in. Then the old thief called his son to us and scolded him, saying that his son was the one who made the decision. He did not know about it in advance, but he had already dealt with his son's family law and promised me a lot of money and hoped that we could forgive him."

After saying that, Wang He pointed to the car behind him and said, "Actually, the old thief was stingy and said that he had prepared a generous gift for Brother Liu to apologize. In fact, there was not much in it."

Liu Chang didn't care about these things: "It's okay to have as many things. Anyway, I can't make peace with him anymore. It's just that the time has not come. Huang Lao Thief also knew that no matter how much we were given, he would never be able to reconcile. If he had the chance, he would definitely kill us. Now everyone is just going through the motions."

Liu Chang said to everyone with some concern: "There are gradually increasing people who have joined us in the past few days, and basically dozens of people are there every day. And it has not rained for a long time. If this continues, it is estimated that the number of people fleeing famine will be even greater. If the number of people in the camp does not increase, our food will be able to persist. But if people continue to come to us, our food may not be enough."

Zhao Di said firmly: "Since our own food is insufficient, we don't have to worry about these people. In the year of a disaster, we have to take good care of ourselves first."

Liu Chang said a little unbearable: "I can keep bringing food here, but this is just a drop in the bucket. I can't control these people by myself."

Zhao Xin asked Liu Chang with some uncertainty: "I wonder if the great wise and good teachers can accept them? After all, the great wise and good teachers may need manpower to carry out major tasks."

Liu Chang replied: "The Great Master has gone back to Julu, but I guess the Great Master may not have enough food. If the people who come to join us are willing to go to Julu to try their luck, give them some food to eat on the way. If you don't want to go, stay with us first, and reduce the daily supply from now on. Let's think of a solution."

Zhao Di said: "If I could have food here, I guess no one would go to Julu to try my luck. Brother Liu has to make up now, and we have to take good care of ourselves first."

Wang He also said worriedly: "Actually, many people still have some food in their homes, but if the drought continues, the food in this season cannot grow, and there will be more people fleeing famine. By June and July, there will definitely be hungry people everywhere. When I came back, I looked on the road. Many seedlings in the fields have died, and the harvest this season will definitely be in vain. I guess the situation is not optimistic this year."

Liu Chang asked: "How many people wearing yellow turbans on the way back?"

Wang He replied: "On the way back, I saw many people wearing yellow turbans preaching and radiating talismans. They were all spreading a slogan, the sky is dead, and the yellow sky should be established. In Jiazi, the world is very happy. Because we have some friendship with the great wise and good teachers, they also told me some teachings of Taiping Taoism on the way."

"The great wise mentor is already preparing, but it is known to everyone by passers-by that such a thing is not hidden even if no one informs it. However, if the great wise mentor wants the eight states to move together, it will definitely not be hidden. The more people know about such things, the greater the probability of leakage."

Then Liu Chang changed his subject: "We should also prepare. Since most of the seedlings in this season have died, we will not farm in the first half of this year. Zhao Di, you will organize all the young people here to start training, and the supply of people participating in the training will not decrease. First, train organization and discipline, and kick out what cannot be done. Nowadays, there are many people who are hungry. At that time, these people are the backbone and then carry the hungry people. We will also do some big things with great wise mentors. Wang and you are responsible for cooperating with Zhao Di and pacifying the hearts of the people living in the camp."

Everyone called it yes.
