Chapter 349 Only those who are capable can eat meat!
When they saw the 50,000 soldiers, they all shouted in unison, demanding meat.
Li Changsheng smiled calmly and said, "You can eat meat if you want, but you have to show some real skills!"
"According to the rules of our Tiance Guard, capable people eat meat, while incompetent people can only gnaw on the bones that others have eaten!"
Before Li Changsheng could finish his words, a burly man strode out.
"General Li, I was born with supernatural strength. I can tear tigers and leopards apart alive. Does this count as a real skill?"
Li Changsheng said, "To be able to tear a tiger or leopard apart alive is certainly a real skill. However, I can't catch a tiger or leopard and ask you to tear it apart right now!"
Hearing this, the whole audience burst into laughter.
The burly man didn't know what to do for a moment and scratched his head anxiously.
Li Changsheng waved at everyone, signaling them to be quiet.
Immediately, he pointed at a tree not far away.
"Since you are born with supernatural powers, how about this? See that tree next to me? If you can pull it out for me, you will be considered a real master!"
The burly man looked in the direction of Li Changsheng's finger.
I agreed on the spot.
"I can try it!"
After saying that, the burly man imitated Lu Zhishen, spat on his hands, and rubbed them back and forth to increase friction.
Immediately, he strode forward, hugged the tree trunk which was as thick as an adult woman's waist, and pulled it hard.
At first, the trunk didn't move at all.
Later, the burly man adjusted the angle several times.
Although it can be shaken.
But it is still not easy to pull it out.
Seeing that he was already sweating profusely from exhaustion, a questioning voice suddenly arose from below.
Of course, there were also many people cheering for him.
Li Changsheng even personally took out a big pork elbow from the soup pot and placed it in front of the burly man.
"As long as you can pull this tree out, this elbow will be yours!"
The burly man greedily sniffed the aroma of the meat from the big elbow.
He suddenly felt an inexhaustible amount of power in his body.
Immediately, he held his breath, walked around the tree trunk, found the right angle, and then spat hard on his palm again, rubbing it back and forth.
Then, he stepped forward, hugged the tree trunk, pressed his waist down, and pulled hard.
"Ahhh, get up, get up, get up!"
When the burly man exerted all his strength, spider-web-like cracks began to appear on the frozen soil around the tree trunk.
"Look, he really pulled the tree out!"
"Oh my god, this Xiong Dazhuang is really strong!"
……
The burly man pulled the tree trunk upside down and held it in front of Li Changsheng.
"General Li, now it can be proven that I was born with supernatural powers, right?"
Li Changsheng nodded slightly and said, "Of course, warrior, what's your name?"
"My name is Xiong Dazhuang, and I'm from Taiping Village at the foot of this mountain. Because I'm the eldest in my family, my neighbors call me Xiong Da!"
"Big Bear? Do you have a brother called Second Bear?"
Xiong Dazhuang shook his head: "No, I only have one sister, but she starved to death..."
Hearing this, Li Changsheng's expression was slightly stunned.
"This big elbow is yours, take it!"
Xiong Dazhuang took the pork elbow and just sniffed the fragrance greedily, but he was reluctant to eat it.
Instead, tear a piece of cloth from your body and wrap it up.
Li Changsheng felt a little strange when he saw this and asked, "Xiong Da, why aren't you eating this big pork elbow you won with great difficulty?"
Xiong Dazhuang scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "I want to take it back and give it to my mother. She hasn't eaten meat in several years!"
Li Changsheng couldn't help but be moved when he heard this.
I was moved by Xiong Dazhuang's filial piety.
"Eat it, there's more in the pot. Pick out a big pork elbow later and bring it back for your mother to eat!"
Upon hearing this, Xiong Dazhuang immediately burst into tears of gratitude towards Li Changsheng.
I even wanted to kneel down to express my gratitude.
However, Li Changsheng helped him up in time.
After this little episode, the other soldiers also eagerly showed off their skills, hoping to eat big chunks of meat and drink big bowls of wine.
This went on until all the fat pigs in the pot were divided up.
Those who get to eat the meat are naturally ecstatic.
Those who didn't get to eat the meat looked depressed.
Li Changsheng looked around at everyone and asked, "Everyone, some of you got to eat meat, but some didn't. Do you know why?"
A soldier chewing on a pig's trotter in his hand said, "Why else? Of course, it's because those who don't get to eat the meat are not as skilled as others!"
Li Changsheng nodded slightly and said, "That's indeed one aspect, but have you ever thought about it?"
"If there were a hundred fat sheep or a thousand fat sheep here, even those who were not as skilled as others could still eat the meat, right?"
Hearing Li Changsheng's question, everyone present was stunned.
"General Li, we are short of supplies, aren't we?"
Li Changsheng continued to question his soul: "Have you ever thought about why there aren't so many?"
This question made many people present look confused.
“Because we have few pigs!”
"Because we don't have enough silver, we can only buy this much!"
……
Hearing everyone's answers, Li Changsheng waved at them, signaling them to quiet down first.
"What you said are indeed the reasons, but they are only superficial reasons!"
Someone asked, "General Li, what is the real reason why we can't eat meat?"
Li Changsheng cleared his throat and shouted in a resounding voice, "The real reason is that someone stole the meat that originally belonged to us!"
Before Li Changsheng finished speaking, the crowd became excited again.
"General Li, who is this? How dare they steal our flesh!"
"Damn bears, they dare to steal our meat. I think they don't want to live anymore, right?"
……
When the noises below died down a bit, Li Changsheng shouted again in a resounding voice:
"They don't produce anything, yet they wear silk and satin and eat delicacies from land and sea. The rice and grain in their homes are already piled up like mountains, even moldy, yet they are still not satisfied and still want to steal our last rations..."
"The rich are feasting and drinking, while the poor are freezing to death on the streets. Brothers, what do you think? Should we take back everything we have lost?"
Even a person with a slow mind could understand what Li Changsheng was talking about.
It is not a specific force or a family.
But...
All the corrupt officials, profiteers, and robbers!
Some educated military officers were shocked beyond words by Li Changsheng's words.
Isn’t the Tiance Guard the imperial army?
Why is it that the more I listen to the impassioned speech of the commander-in-chief Li Changsheng, the more I feel he has the potential to become a rebel?
