Liu?
Liu Chan? !
Could it be that...?
Looking at the back of the young man walking out of Zhongyi Hall with his hands behind his back, Hu Li felt excited again.
This group of bandits has been able to live here for more than twenty years, of course, because the successive lords of Xichuan did not care about the unrewarding work of going into the mountains to suppress bandits.
But Hu Li and others are by no means ignorant and ignorant.
When they usually send people down the mountain to purchase, they pay great attention to inquire about the current situation and news.
He will never offend anyone who cannot be offended.
As for the biological son of Liu Bei, the new leader of Xichuan, Hu Li naturally knew his name.
He even knew a little bit about the rumors about this "strange" young master...
I heard that this was the deity in front of me, and I couldn't help but be curious.
But right now, the new lord has no time to satisfy his desire for gossip.
Liu Chan walked out while pacing, focusing entirely on the long list of prompts that had just appeared on the screen.
[Hu Li's favorability is 10/100, physical fitness increases by 2, mountain aptitude increases by 3, and management talent increases by 1×2]
[Hu Li's favorability is 20/100,...,...]
…
[Hu Li's favorability is 50/100, his physical fitness increases by 2, his mountain aptitude increases by 3, his management talent increases by 1×2, and he obtains "Death to Survive"]
Survive in the Dead End: Activate when you are within the enemy's sphere of influence to temporarily increase your physical fitness by one level and improve all types of terrain suitability by one level.
Liu Chan looked at this series of rewards, and the corners of his mouth gradually rose.
Physique is a good thing. Different from the various games played in previous lives, the so-called "physique" here has a very wide meaning.
Strength, reaction speed, endurance, various senses such as hearing, and even memory, recovery ability after injury, and immunity are all included...
So far, there are not many people who can increase their physical fitness. Unexpectedly, this little-known bandit leader is one of them.
The other thing is this "death to survive".
Most people who trigger the favorability prompt will only let Liu Chan gain a certain characteristic when the favorability reaches 100, and very few people will get it at 50.
And although this "death to survive" effect is not too amazing, it is very helpful for the "big event" Liu Chan is planning.
With a thought, Liu Chan's status list popped up in front of him.
Physique: Strong and healthy (34/200)
Long Soldier: Talented (20/300)
Managing the Army: Excellent Talent (94/200)
Equestrian: Excellent talent (176/200)
Currently these are the only four items that are relatively high.
Many other talents have been activated, such as strategy, government affairs, business, farming, craftsmanship, etc. Liu Chan's current talents are mostly "fair".
Even if it is a fair evaluation, it is thanks to the all-round 360-degree talent reward provided by Zhuge Military Advisor.
Liu Chan still remembers that when he checked his attributes for the first time, Adou was not only stubborn in terms of talent, but at least it was hard to carve out rotten wood...
Those "no talents" are truly worthy of his reputation as a trash that has been passed down for thousands of years.
The favorability reward changes only the talent, and the relevant knowledge needs to be learned by oneself.
Comrade Adou, who is optimistic by nature, has no complaints about this. The most valuable thing in a person is contentment.
Although Goldfinger cannot directly transform himself into a hexagonal Superman, this relatively smooth transformation eliminates the need to explain his changes to others.
Moreover, don’t underestimate the word talent. It is not only related to the speed of learning, thorough understanding and application ability.
He can also re-remember the old knowledge that he had forgotten, which is of special benefit to Liu Chan who has experienced another life.
The reward list consists of two parts, the first is physical fitness and various talents.
The other part is "characteristics".
Zhao Yun provides: [Unyielding] 50 favorability, [Gentian] 100 favorability
Zhuge Liang provides: [Jingtianweidi] 50 favorability
Mrs. Gan provides: [Pleasing] 100 favorability
Mrs. Wu provides: [Wealth and Fortune] 100 favorability
Hu Li provides: [Death to Survive] 50 favorability
[Unyielding] The more adversity you face, the more determined you become.
[Gentian] When the enemy's soldiers are several times your own, your courage will also increase exponentially.
[Jingtianweidi] Any talent growth you obtain in the future will be doubled.
[Pleasing] More likely to be liked by the opposite sex.
[Wealth and Honor] Money will not be a problem for you personally, the problem is just how to use them reasonably.
These are all the characteristics Liu Chan has acquired so far.
Thirteen years have passed since his birth. Only his deceased mother, Mrs. Gan, Uncle Zilong, a five-star high-ranking man, and his stepmother, Mrs. Wu, have a 100-point favorable impression of him.
The difficulty of gaining favor is evident.
The good news is that even if the other person dies or his favorability toward you decreases, the characteristics and attribute talent bonuses you have obtained will not disappear.
As for dad Liu Bei...
Liu Chan glanced at the poor 36 favorability behind the name and couldn't help but want to curse.
My biological father doesn't have a good impression of me as much as the uncles who watched me grow up. He was even thrown out of the street by his stepmother... There is really no one else.
"Lord, we are now..." Hu Li saw that Liu Chan remained silent after leaving the hall. He was afraid that he would regret and change his mind, so he couldn't help but ask.
Liu Chan came to his senses as soon as he called him, and thought that this kid changed his tune quickly enough.
In the early spring morning in Mount Emei, it is a scene of vitality and all things competing.
However, the faces of the people in shabby clothes in the open space in front of them had a gloomy look.
Most of these people were thin and gathered together in panic, waiting for their uncertain fate.
A child with a runny nose just cried out, and was tightly covered by the woman next to him.
The woman looked at the black-armored soldiers holding spears standing outside the crowd in horror. She was relieved when she saw that they didn't notice her.
Several men, equally thin, were cleaning up several corpses on the ground under the supervision of soldiers.
When one of the soldiers patrolling with his sword saw Liu Chan coming out, he immediately ran over and saluted: "Report to the young general, the population and materials in the stronghold have been counted.
"A total of 703 people were captured in this battle, including 241 young and strong, 263 women, 78 old and weak, and boys..."
Tsk tsk, before coming here Liu Chan found out that the mountain village in Mount Emei was a big village.
But the population still exceeded his expectations. Among the various bandits he had wiped out in the past two years, it was definitely a large gang.
Being a bandit is a very embarrassing profession. If there are few people, they will not be able to fight, and they will not be able to steal money or food.
There are too many people to support.
Most of the ordinary bandits are small groups of a hundred or so people, scattered in various places.
It is indeed not easy for nearly a thousand people to gather together like this and stay here for such a long time.
"There are more than 150 kilograms of grain stored in the village, less than 100 kilograms of pickled fruits and vegetables, and more than 30 kilograms of air-dried meat..."
It sounds like a lot, but one kilogram at this time is equivalent to less than half a kilogram in later generations.
In his early years, Liu Chan wandered around with Liu Bei's group and lived under the shelter of others. He also lived a hard life. After leading his own army, he became more sensitive to food issues.
A little calculation in my mind revealed that the food would be enough for these people to last for less than a month at most.
This is just barely enough to survive starvation.
If they hadn't brought their own troops to suppress the bandits, they would probably have made another big move recently.
"Ten collars of inferior leather armor, less than thirty collars of inferior cloth armor, more than a hundred inferior weapons, copper and iron agricultural tools, more than twenty inferior bows, inferior arrows..."
Hu Li's mouth twitched when he heard the "inferior quality" mentioned one after another by the military prince. He felt a little unconvinced.
Among the bandits and road bandits, few have as much equipment as him. This is all they have accumulated through hard work over the years.
Even for the army these days, as long as they are not elite, their armor coverage rate is actually not very high.
It's good to have one, but is it inferior to one bite at a time?
But he took a closer look at the soldiers in front of him. They were all wearing black patent leather armor. They were well-made and majestic. Their swords and spears were all glowing with cold light. They were carrying powerful bows and crossbows...
"Hiss..." Hu Li secretly gnashed his teeth at the sight.
Compared with them, my so-called leather armor, which is made of large pieces of animal skins and hastily sewn together, seems to be worthy of the word "low quality".
After counting and reporting the supplies, the next step was to wait for Liu Chan to decide the fate of these people.
Just when he was about to speak, Hu Li stood up next to him suddenly and said loudly: "Today, I have received great favor from the lord. Not only did he spare our lives, but he also promised to take us in. Why don't you thank the lord quickly!"
After saying that, he knelt down first.
After people were briefly surprised, they knelt down one after another and worshiped with great joy.
It was a dream ending for a compromised cottage.
Hu Li kowtowed and stood up. When Liu Chan did not change his words, he immediately said: "Except for the old and the weak, everyone else will obey the arrangements of the lord and the military masters!"
The crowd naturally divided into two groups. Among them, the elderly and some sick people who knew they were weak spontaneously returned to the village without any complaints. They were obviously not surprised by this "reasonable" decision.
Although they have lost their youth and food, their fate will be to wait for death...
Hu Li considers himself a smart man.
Some things cannot wait for the master to do.
In this era, being an official requires "filial piety and integrity." It is self-evident how important filial piety is in social life.
It is unkind to abandon the old and the weak after being included.
It would be better to kill them all when suppressing bandits.
General Liu was known for his benevolence. How could his son abandon the old and the weak and force others to do unfilial things?
But bringing them along will only increase consumption and do more harm than good.
These are not famous scholars, they are just ordinary old men and women who can't even swing a hoe to cultivate the land.
It would be the greatest mercy not to kill them on the spot.
In order to protect the lord's reputation, he must take the initiative to do this unethical thing.
"Who gave you permission to make your own decisions?"
Unexpectedly, a cold voice came from behind, scaring Hu Li half to death, and he quickly turned around and knelt down.
"The villain doesn't dare, the villain just..."
"Shut up. If you make any unauthorized decisions again, you will be severely punished."
Hu Li lowered his head deeply: "Yes."
At this moment, he thought of all the ridiculous rumors about this young lord, and he couldn't help but beat his drum again.
This young man, won’t he regret it?
Liu Chan didn't know what he was thinking. He just looked up at the frightened crowd and smiled: "Don't be afraid. You all go together. No matter men, women, old or young, strong or weak, no one can be left behind."
Everyone no longer thanked him like they did just now, but after saying this, they were all stunned for a moment.
Everyone present looked at each other, as if they had heard something strange.
Hu Li was still kneeling, staring blankly at the trousers of the young man in front of him.
My little lord seems to be stranger than the rumors.
