Chapter 67: Survival in Troubled Times (Please Read)

In Lianhua County.

A mansion with mahogany and green tiles.

In the courtyard of the mansion, there are green pines, rockery, flowing water, stone bridges, and pavilions.

You can even see a few small fish in the flowing water.

The scenery is breathtaking.

Under the pavilion beside the rockery, Lu Yuan was sitting on a bench with one leg crossed, eating the food on the table in an ungainly manner.

Zhou An on the side kept calling the cooks to bring more food.

The cooks were shocked and moved to see the brigade commander's appetite.

The Brigade Marshal was a great eater before, and they knew that as long as there was food, he could eat five bowls in one meal!
He originally thought that this was the limit of the brigade commander.

until today.

After seeing the brigade commander wolfing down 20 bowls of food, the soldiers couldn't help but feel emotional!

My Lord, the commander-in-chief, is truly a god!

No wonder he could kill a strong man like Zhao Hu.

You know, Zhao Hu is the nightmare of all the new recruits.

One of his good brothers died at the feet of the other party, with his internal organs shattered by a kick.

He naturally remembered such a great grudge.

But what can he do?

How can I help my brother to get revenge when I am trying to survive?
Besides, even if ten of Zhao Hu were to go up against him, they might not be able to defeat him.

No matter how much he hated Zhao Hu, he knew that if he wanted to take revenge, he would only be committing suicide.

Therefore, we can only bury the hatred deep in our hearts.

But unexpectedly, yesterday, one afternoon.

The situation within the brigade changed drastically.

The position of brigade commander changed.

Zhao Hu's head was also cut off by the new brigade commander in front of him.

Even when he saw the head of Zhao Hu, he still found it hard to believe.

Only after he was sure that it was indeed Zhao Hu did he spat at him in hatred.

My brother’s great revenge has been achieved and he can rest in peace.

Therefore, in addition to awe, he also felt gratitude towards the new brigade commander.

He handed a bowl of steaming pork elbow meat to Captain Zhou with both hands.

He glanced at Captain Zhou Anzhou who took the plate with both hands with a silent look of jealousy.

This Zhou An is really blessed.

At first, he was assigned to Lu Lushuai's team.

Not only did he gain the protection of the brigade commander, but he also rose rapidly from a small soldier to a senior soldier, and was promoted three levels in a row, directly to the position of platoon leader!

Including Meng Yan and Song Wen under the brigade commander, as well as Captain Xu Changqing, Captain Zhou Qingzhou, and Captain Ma Zongwei, all of them were promoted to sergeants because of their contributions to the uprising!

He couldn't help but feel jealous.

Even some complaints.

Why didn't you tell him when you blamed these six people for starting the rebellion?
They also felt regretful in their hearts. They regretted that when the two sides were fighting yesterday, several of their cooks were so scared that they did not join the fight for a while.

Otherwise, if they had lent a helping hand to the brigade commander at that time, they might have been promoted to captain or even sergeant!

You know, as long as the soldiers who started the rebellion, even if not all of them were promoted to captains or sergeants, they all received personal praise from the brigade commander.

They were completely different from those who did not take action. Even when they walked, they held their chests straight, telling them invisibly that they were heroes and the personal soldiers of the brigade commander!

And they can still only be cooks.

However, he was somewhat relieved.

I am glad that I resisted the temptation and did not go along with Zhao Hu.

Otherwise, he would be the one tied up outside the county government office gate!
He glanced in the direction of the county government office with a little fear, then handed a plate of meat to Captain Zhou.

Zhou An carefully took the plate of goose meat, placed it on the table where Lu Yuan was still eating, and said softly:
"Master, it's almost noon." Lu Yuan chewed the elbow bones and swallowed them, then picked up the plate of goose meat and poured it directly into his mouth.

There were a few "crunching" sounds in his mouth, and in a short while, he had eaten the entire plate of goose meat.

Today, he ate a total of twenty-two bowls of rice, and even he felt very full.

If there wasn't someone beside him, he would have burped in order to maintain his demeanor as a brigade commander.

He leaned back slightly with a comfortable look on his face.

At this moment, he just felt that life was so fucking beautiful!
This was his third time here with a full stomach.

One time, I ate a full meal in the carriage of that brother and sister.

One time was yesterday. After killing Zhao Hu, he took Zhao Hu's place and ran directly to the granary. He asked the cook to make twenty large bowls of food on the spot. He stopped only when he could not eat any more.

Now, because I have to go to the county government office to supervise the execution, I am afraid I will have no food to eat at noon.

So if he eats well now, he won't have to worry about being hungry when his superpowers take effect and increase his strength.

This execution was arranged by him.

After staying in this world for more than a month, he has a considerable understanding of the brutality of this chaotic world.

He does have the skill of longevity and can live forever.

Now he has the superpower of "infinite strength". As long as he survives, he can gain 10 kilograms of strength every day.

Theoretically, as long as he can survive long enough, he will be invincible in the world.

But with a little thought, you will realize that this method is not feasible.

In troubled times, who can remain immune?

Even if you hide in the deep mountains and forests, you may not be able to find peace and tranquility.

Besides, his current superpower is "infinite strength", not immunity to cold and heat.

If you get sick, you have to go down the mountain to find a doctor for treatment.

Even if he learns some medical skills himself, he doesn't need to go down the mountain.

But his superpower of "infinite strength" does not come without a price, it requires a lot of food.

How could he get his daily food needs in the mountains by himself?

If he only relied on growing vegetables, it would be difficult to have a harvest in a year like the snowstorm, and it would be impossible to provide him with enough food every day.

Therefore, the superficial approach will never work.

In troubled times, if you want to survive, you must have the capital to survive.

Only by controlling one side's power and seeking self-protection can you survive!
Since he was in control of this brigade of a thousand people, he could use these people to provide him with enough food.

But at the same time, the brigade also needs to be supported.

Just like now, he no longer has to worry about food and drink, nor does he have to worry about the consumption of his superpowers.

However, this is only temporary and may only last for a few days.

During the attack on Lianhua County, the county magistrate and wealthy families all fled with large amounts of grain, and they did not get much food.

After taking over Zhao Hu's granary, his subordinates reported to him that at most, the food could sustain the entire brigade for a week.

So, he was in desperate need of food.

But how to get enough food to feed thousands of unproductive soldiers?
Looting the county town like Zhao Hu did?
This is not advisable as it will easily lead to a crackdown by the government and is not a long-term solution.

Then, we can only target the common people and the rich.

He wanted these people to willingly hand over their food to support this brigade of a thousand people.

That's why he arranged this.

At noon, these murderous and rapist soldiers were executed.

Avenge the people here and give them justice.

Then the people here will be grateful to him and will take the initiative to spread the word about his virtue and reputation as the commander of the brigade. Then, he will get the support and backing of some people for various purposes.
