The stream of people was bustling, and the place where the notice was posted was crowded with people.
The Sun family was distributing food. They would select strong men from the refugees to join the army.
Sun Ce's troops were armed with weapons, and their cold eyes were filled with killing intent, intimidating the little ones.
"Bofu, we are running out of food." Sun He tried his best to lower his voice.
He was Sun Jian's son and also Sun Ce's cousin. He was loyal and honest, and was quick to speak.
"How come you're so fast?" Sun Ce's mind trembled, revealing a look of disbelief and confusion.
Today, he had only recruited over a hundred able-bodied men, but he had consumed a hundred dan of food.
In the long run, no matter how much food they had, it would not be enough for him to lose. What should he do?
There was still an endless stream of people asking for grain. Their eyes were dark like ferocious beasts staring at the empty grain sacks.
"There's almost no food, there's no food."
Among the refugees, someone shouted heart-wrenchingly, instantly triggering a riot.
Regardless of whether they were men or women, old or young, their eyes were filled with ferocity as they squeezed forward with all their might.
They tore, trampled, wailed, cried, women screamed, and children cried. The scene was chaotic and out of control.
Clang!
Sun Ce pulled out his sword. A flash of light flashed, and the cold edge of the sword was particularly dazzling against the setting sun.
"Stop! Stop!"
No one listened to him. The hungry refugees became the most terrifying beasts, ferocious, bloodthirsty, and fearless.
They desperately rushed forward, fighting for the food that could keep them alive.
The situation was out of control.
"Damn it!"
Sun Ce cursed in disdain, a raging flame accumulating in his chest.
He wished he could treat these refugees as his enemies and chop them into pieces like vegetables and melons.
His rationality, upbringing, and ambition allowed him to control his impulse. He gritted his teeth and looked at the refugee who had completely turned into a beast.
Suddenly!
He glanced at the crowd and saw a man in green standing out from the crowd. He had a bright and elegant face, and his eyes were fixed on the refugees who were fighting for food. He looked like a wise man who was looking down on everything from the top of Mount Tai.
Sun Ce's heart thumped. He had only sighed at this kind of otherworldly temperament before.
That was his best friend, Duke of Zhou Jin!
Sun Ce's current thoughts could only be described with four words:
"This person is actually so similar to Gongjin.”
Sun Ce stepped forward curiously and introduced himself,""I am Sun Ce, also known as Bo Fu."
"Xiang Yu, also known as Lin Yuan. The general's method of rescue was inappropriate.”
"What's wrong?" Sun Ce asked.
"General, don't you know that a person who is about to starve to death is no longer human?”
Xiang Yu's words shocked Sun Ce.
"What do you mean?"
"They are all animals. As long as they can live, they can eat grass roots, tree bark, mud, and flesh. General is too good to them. Your benevolence and righteousness are just things that can be trampled on the ground.”
"Nonsense, how can a human be an animal?”Sun He said in shock.
"Generals only know how to fight. Sitting in the military tent, strategizing. The bold ones charge into the enemy's line of battle. Have you ever seen a refugee who ate meat and died from bloating?”
"If you change your son's food, you can change your child's food. They're just a pile of meat in the pot. No matter how much food the general distributed, it was not enough to help these refugees.”
Xiang Yu spoke with assurance, his eyes red and tears streaming down.
Shocking thoughts surged in Sun Ce's mind as he looked at the hundreds of men he had personally recruited.
How many of these people had eaten meat or exchanged their children for food?
Sun He stumbled back two steps in shock, unable to believe what Xiang Yu had said.
"I followed the refugees to the south, and my parents died from eating dirt. I guarded my parents 'graves and repelled three groups of refugees who wanted to eat meat. I didn't dare to leave until the corpses rotted.”
"General, if you distribute food like this, it will only harm women, children, and the elderly. Although they had food now, under the law of the jungle, they would definitely be robbed by the strong. After tonight, this field would be covered in corpses.”
Xiang Yu restrained his sorrowful thoughts and looked listless.
"Do you have any good ideas?" Sun Ce asked.
"Bring a few mouthfuls of disaster. Cook the food and only distribute the cooked food. Since ancient times, disaster relief had always been like this. The general should follow the ancient system and not distribute food for convenience.”
Sun Ce and Sun He were both from the military, so they had overlooked some details.
They naively thought that as long as they distributed the food to the refugees, it would be a great kindness.
"How can we avoid tonight's disaster?”Sun Ce asked again.
"Consume food and continue to give out porridge, day and night. Firstly, it could show the general's virtuous reputation. Secondly, it could give all the refugees hope of living and reduce the occurrence of looting.”
Sun Ce was suddenly enlightened and immediately ordered people to prepare. There was an endless line of people queuing up to get the gruel.
Xiangyu ate a bowl of porridge and barely maintained his vitality.
"Bofu, with this rate of consumption, I'm afraid our rations will run out.”Sun He said worriedly.
"How could it be so fast?"
"Some of the commoners who have stored dry rations also came to share the porridge in order to take advantage of the situation. Even the commoners in the Jianghuai region came to make do when they heard about this.”Sun He was very helpless.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Xiang Yu threw dirt into the porridge. When some of the commoners saw this, they cursed and left.
