Chapter 676: White Snake
- Baitu Pass
"What is this? Just give us this? The white snake looked at the gray-green porridge in the bowl that he didn't know what it was, and smelled it, and a smell of wild vegetables, oatmeal and other things rushed into his nose, making his brows locked, and more importantly, just like this, the amount was still very small, he pulled it with chopsticks, I'm afraid that one-third of the liters of grain are gone, and the rest are all water.
In this era, because there is little oil and water, and there are no snacks, everyone is a pot-bellied man, Zhuge Liang eats three liters a day, and he is judged by Sima Yi to die soon, and it is normal for a normal soldier to eat seven or eight liters a day.
"Eat it, eat it, get out if you don't eat, next!"
It was Yuan Shao's headquarters soldiers and horses who distributed military rations, after all, it was grain and grass, so it was naturally in their own hands, so these firehead troops were also full of arrogance.
White Snake is a nickname, his original name is no longer known, after all, being a thief is not a glorious thing, this is very common in the Black Mountain Army, you don't see even Zhang Yan, in fact, it should be called Zhu Feiyan.
"We are also Yuan Gong's soldiers, why do you look down on us? Want me to eat? Is this something that people eat? You give me a bite to eat first! The white snake slammed the bowl on the table, and the paste suddenly spilled on the table, which also made the sergeant behind him see clearly what today's food was.
"What is this? Can you eat it? ”
"Have we come here for the year of calamity? Just eat this, have a fart fight! ”
"Is there no food in the army?"
"Wouldn't it? If there is no food, then are we not going to starve to death? ”
"Then you see, didn't someone say it before, the military rations in Shexian County have been burned, and Yuan Gong also said that there is enough food in Baitu Pass, I think it's also fake, it's not that there is no food, why do you send such a thing."
"What you said makes sense, is there really no food in the army?"
When the white snake heard the sound of solidarity behind him, he felt confident, he simply smashed the bowl on the head of the firehead army, and scolded, "Do you know that I killed a lot of cattle and horses today, what about beef?" What about horse meat? Even if there is no meat, won't we even be given the water? Don't treat us as human beings, brothers, do you say you want to do it? ”
"What? Is there meat? Why don't you give it to us? ”
"We're going to eat meat!"
"That's right! Eat meat!! ”
Baituguan is such a big place, although Xu You tried to keep it secret, but the news of the slaughter of cattle and horses still leaked out.
Under the excitement of the crowd, the Huotou soldiers did not dare to be ruthless anymore, and hurriedly begged for mercy and said soft words, saying that they had given some miscellaneous grains from above, and it was not enough, and they had no choice, as for the wild vegetables inside, they still dug them themselves in the mountains.
"I don't care! This emperor is not bad for hungry soldiers, there is no food, what kind of battle do we fight, it is better to disperse! ”
"That's right! If there is nothing to eat, we will go! ”
The noise of the Montenegrin army soon spread, and Xu You, who was preparing in the granary, learned the news, and his heart was not good, so he rushed into the barracks with a team of elite armor soldiers.
"Who is wasting military rations?"
Xu You walked to the middle of the crowd, looked at the porridge and water that had been sprinkled on the ground, and said angrily, "How expensive the military rations are, I don't think you are hungry, come on, take down these few leaders, and beat thirty military sticks!" If you resist, kill on the spot! ”
Zhang Yan was not there, the Montenegrin army was a wild child without a father and mother, I saw a group of armor soldiers rushing forward to arrest people, and the other Montenegrin troops wanted to come to the rescue, looking at the bright ring head knife and sharp halberd, thinking that just beating the military stick, no one could die, and they all swallowed their anger and retreated to the side.
"Mr. Xu! I don't accept it, you are obviously slaughtering cattle and horses, why don't you give us food! "The white snake is a bastard, and he is still shouting while being pushed down.
Xu You didn't expect that the news had been leaked, he rolled his eyes, and scolded, "Those cattle and horses are all to be dried for cured meat, you husband, how can you know the big thing!" ”
Meat is a precious thing, and it is perishable, and fresh meat is not as popular as cured meat in this year, after all, everyone doesn't have a refrigerator.
Xu You picked up the bowl and chopsticks that fell on the ground again, filled a bowl of porridge by himself, began to drink, and then said, "Continue to put grain." ”
The Black Mountain Army saw that Xu You was drinking this thing, and they didn't dare to say anything, but the seeds of doubt had been planted in their hearts and kept germinating.
"Looks like we're going to have to hurry...."
Xu You was not prepared to waste food on these people who were destined to give up, if it weren't for the fear of causing a mutiny, he would have been ready to cut them off.
The white snake didn't eat anything, and was beaten violently, and it hurt in the tent.
A person rushed in, saw the calling white snake, sat on the edge of the bed and cared, "Brother, are you okay?" It's all my fault, I shouldn't have told you those things. ”
The white snake raised his eyes and saw that it was his own hair Xiao Li Feng.
Unlike the White Snake who voted for Taiping Road because of his poor family background and finally became the Black Mountain Army, Li Feng's family has some industries, and he is a middle peasant, although he still broke his family in the end, but he also survived to Han Fu's age before joining the army, and finally became a member of the Yuan army, and even became a military marquis because he knew some words.
"Blame you for what to do, it's I'm not convinced... They are all people, they are all soldiers, why do they favor one over the other, say what about cured meat, meat is easy to pickle, and those go into the water? Is it also pickled?
Besides, where do we have so much salt in the gate..."
Li Feng rolled his eyes and said in a low voice, "Wait until tomorrow night, you find a place to hide, this year, it is true to survive." ”
White Snake's pupils shrank, he was able to live from the era of the Yellow Turban to the present, and he had experienced a lot of things.
"Li Feng, is Yuan Gong ready to run away?"
Li Feng shook his head, the military discipline was in his body, he didn't dare to say more, left a bottle of wound medicine and left.
The more White Snake thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and when the people with the same account came back, he immediately asked them to call a few generals of the Black Mountain Army and told them about his guess.
As soon as these Black Mountain Army generals heard the White Snake's speculation, they immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
After Zhang Yan fled, these generals naturally couldn't see Yuan Shao, but after all, Baitu Pass was originally controlled by the Black Mountain Army, so they still knew how much military rations there were in Baitu Pass.
To hold on is to starve to death.
Yuan Shao's choice to escape was expected by them, and even the trail was told to Xu Yu by the veteran soldiers belonging to the Montenegrin Army, and they all thought that Yuan Shao would take everyone with him.
But now it seems that Yuan Shao is not ready to bring everyone.
These generals of the Montenegrin Army immediately sent elite workers to the headquarters of the Yuan Army to inquire about the news.
In fact, not all of the Yuan army was preparing to retreat, because the people that Yuan Shao was preparing to bring were far smaller than the current soldiers and horses of the headquarters, so most of the sergeants of the Yuan army headquarters were kept in the dark.
But if a person is suspicious, it is still easy to find the problem from various signs, such as Yan Liang and these generals are packing their luggage, such as the granary has been emptied....
All signs indicate that Yuan Shao is ready to run, and... Not ready to take them with them, they, about to become outcasts.
