The beginning of the Three Kingdoms Cheng Yuanzhi

Chapter 23
Juxian Hall, hall.

At the simple but not simple banquet, the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

Cheng Yuanzhi pointed at Sugai and said enthusiastically to Hua Tuo:
"Tuo Tuo, please help me take a look, why is he so young?"

佗佗
Hua Tuo thought about it, and said, "When I was traveling around the rivers and lakes before, I often saw some wild beasts raising human children and living peacefully with them. I tried to interpret this situation from the perspective of species evolution."

species evolution?You are just a doctor, Cheng Yuanzhi looked surprised,
"So what happened?"

While speaking, the eyes of the two turned to Sugai.

Su Gai stood behind a separate food table, holding a large piece of pancake in his two little hands and eating it. The pancakes were piled in a pile on the table - taller than his height.

He pretended not to hear the adults' discussion, quickly finished a stack of pancakes, then turned to Zhang Xiaoyu and said, "Sister, do you have any pancakes?"

"I still want to eat."

Zhang Xiaoyu was so astonished that he almost petrified. After a while, he came back to his senses and turned around to get it.

Hua Tuo shook his head, frowned and said, "Sugai's current situation is similar to this one. I'm not sure, but I'm still thinking about it."

Cheng Yuanzhi tentatively asked: "Sir, do you mean that this is Sugai's active choice to remain a child and not want to grow up?"

Hua Tuo scratched his head and said distressedly: "I don't know, I don't know..."

Cheng Yuanzhi suddenly remembered the scene he saw in "Animal World" in his previous life.

A group of savages was attacked by a pack of wolves. They died, fled, and scattered in all directions. A small human cub was separated from its mother.

The cub lay on the grass, eyes wide open, babbling, crying helplessly.

A group of ferocious wolves surrounded him, bared their teeth, and wanted to eat him.

But no one took the first step.

At this moment, the wolf's eyes met the cub's. The human cub was terrified and looked at the wolf with tears in his eyes.

The head wolf was mutated in an instant. It stopped the pack of wolves who wanted to attack the cub viciously. Instead of hurting the human cub, it turned around and led the pack of wolves away.

It wasn't long before the pack attacked a pack of wildlings again and encountered another pup.

Unlike last time, this cub's eyes are bigger and brighter.

The alpha wolf was touched by the pity and compassion of the cub, and carefully brought the human cub back to the pack.

At this moment, the curtain fell slowly.

When the curtain opened again, a vigorous wolf boy was playing and running on the grassland with a group of wolves facing the rising sun.

Regarding the evolution of species, Cheng Yuanzhi knows a little more than Hua Tuo.

A sense of helplessness in humans, especially in young ones, inspires empathy in any animal, giving it a greater chance of survival.

In nature, most mammalian babies have particularly large eyes.

It's a natural selection in development, and in mammalian fetuses, eyes develop early -- even with poor vision, they grow big, big, when the baby is still very young.

In this way, during infancy, the cub's eyes account for a relatively large proportion of the face, and it looks particularly cute and agile—or cute, full of helplessness.

Once they meet their eyes, few people or beasts can resist, and then they are gradually germinated, taking whatever they want.

Therefore most beasts, unless they are in violent estrus, seldom kill the young of other animals.

Keeping the cuteness will make the cubs use the natural helplessness brought by the big eyes when they are in danger in the wild to win sympathy and increase the chance of survival.

Cheng Yuanzhi felt that this was probably what Hua Tuo wanted to express.

He frowned deeply and pondered for a long time.

Is Sugai also using this method to protect himself?

After all, he and his grandfather lived in the mountains before, and when Su Bo went hunting, his home must have been visited by many wild animals, but he survived in his infant state.

Therefore, he realized that maintaining the appearance of a child would allow him to survive in the wild where wild beasts are everywhere, so he actively chose to maintain this state.

If this is the case, how long will it take for him to leave the state of a child after returning to a safe human group?
Can you still leave?
If not, with such a small body, he would probably cry for a long time with a single punch, how could he be able to fight in all directions with this commander and dominate the world?

"Ugh"

Cheng Yuanzhi sighed, feeling that his dream of fighting for world hegemony hadn't started yet, like a candle in the wind, it was about to be annihilated.

Hua Tuo took a deep breath, changed the subject and said, "The commander-in-chief promised that if Su Bo is cured, there will be..."

Cheng Yuanzhi waved his hand: "Hey, don't worry, you don't know. As soon as I saw you, I thought of my brother who starved to death due to famine..."

As he spoke, he squeezed out two tears and looked at Hua Tuo sincerely.

"Brother Tuo may wish to stay here for a few more days, so that this commander can show his brotherhood and landlord friendship."


Hua Tuo was slightly moved, his expression was tangled several times, and he finally said:

"OK then."

After finishing the second stack of pancakes, Sugai raised his head, opened his eyes wide, and looked at Zhang Xiaoyu again.
"Sister, I still want to..."

Zhang Xiaoyu looked at his commander for help, and after getting a positive response, he turned around to get the cake.

After a while, two strong men carried a simple stove with a pot on it into the hall.

Live pancakes!

Sugai cheered excitedly, eating even more happily.

"Tuo Tuo, will something happen if he eats like this?"

Cheng Yuanzhi looked worried.

Although I haven't counted them carefully, it is roughly estimated that Sugai ate at least thirty or forty coarse grain pancakes.

The appetite is terrifying!
With such a rice bucket, he suddenly felt that the 10,000+ stone grain he had robbed was not enough.

Hua Tuo looked at his slightly swollen stomach, and shook his head, feeling even more distressed: "I don't know..."

Sugai ate more than 50 cakes, burped, and fell asleep on the ground.

Everyone was shocked by his ferocious manner of eating. Looking at the food on their plate, they suddenly felt that it was not delicious.

One by one, they came to the stove, each took a piece of pancake, and gnawed it carefully.

Everyone suddenly felt that these ordinary pancakes seemed to be really sweet.

So, everyone in the hall started to eat cakes.

Click, click, click~
……

For several days, Sugai couldn't stop eating, his stomach was like a bottomless pit, and at the same time, his small body swelled up at the speed of inflation.

In just a few days, his appearance was comparable to that of a 12-year-old boy.

But he was still eating, and his body was still expanding rapidly.

This scene made the nine chiefs gathered in the Juxian Hall have to think of a plant - bamboo, which has been dormant for several years without being born, and once it breaks the ground, it will tower to the sky.

Today, the leaders of the Black Mountain army gathered together to discuss their future.

Being a bandit is definitely not enough, don't look at the joy of dancing now, go wherever you want, and grab whoever you want, once the court is free, it will be a death!

Zhang Yan thought it over and over again, and suggested: "Commander, taking advantage of our army's new victory, everyone is panicked, why don't you take this opportunity to submit a petition to the court, so that you can get a title and enjoy the mountains and forests."

This is a method that he came up with after several days of hard thinking and pondering over and over again. He felt that there were no mistakes, so he communicated with everyone in private beforehand. Everyone felt that it was feasible, so he brought it up at the meeting.

Everyone nodded to express their position.

Seeing that everyone had such an attitude, Cheng Yuanzhi inspected the past one by one, stared at Yang Chou without blinking, shook his head and said:

"inappropriate!"

"What's wrong?" Everyone asked, but Yang Chou's heart suddenly thumped, and he was inexplicably flustered.

He felt that there was something wrong with the handsome man's eyes.

"If you want to invest in it first, you must first make it avoid it."

Cheng Yuanzhi opened the folding fan with a huff, and threw out an explanation:
"My Montenegro army only won a small victory. If you vote for the imperial court at this time, you will definitely not get attention."

"In view of this, we must continue to attack counties and counties, rob food, beat them, and then apply for seals, so we will definitely get better treatment."

He said please seal, not surrender.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and remain silent.

Zhang Yan's scalp exploded, and she felt enlightened.

With only a few words changed, his original strategy has been improved a lot.

He grinned: "The commander-in-chief is the commander-in-chief. I will follow orders, so where are we going to fight now?"

The others nodded one after another, agreeing with Cheng Yuanzhi's proposal.

Wouldn't it be nice to make a few more votes before submitting to the imperial court, and then wash your hands and go ashore?

"Wuji County!"

Cheng Yuanzhi got up slowly, with a serious expression: "Yang Chou listens to the order!"

Yang Chou stepped out and held his hands, "My subordinates are here."

"I am now appointing you as the food and grass officer, leading five hundred troops, carrying five days' food and grass for 5000 people, and going out with the army tomorrow!"

"promise!"

"Zhang Yang, Yu Du, Sun Qing, Bai Rao, each leading 1000 people, will go out with this commander tomorrow."

"Zhang Yan, Sui Gu, and Tao Sheng stayed at the cottage."

All the people agreed in unison, and then they all returned to their villages to order troops.

Yang Chou secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the commander-in-chief didn't target him, and made him the safest food officer.

Could it be that someone made a mistake to blame the handsome man?

But where did this vague sense of crisis come from?
