Facing Yuan Shu's anger, Lu Mian and Ji Ling looked at each other, and the helpless look in their eyes couldn't be clearer.

How can this be the time to go out of the city to fight?

No matter how Guo Peng provokes, how to show weakness, and how tempted, he can't go out of the city to fight, and he must defend the city to the death.

This is the only way to survive.

"Your Majesty, our army has few soldiers, and it is very difficult to defend the city on all sides, so it is really not the best policy to rashly attack and damage the soldiers and horses."

"Your Majesty, as long as we hold on to the city and don't let the Guo thief come in, after a long time, the Guo thief will definitely retreat."

Lu Mian and Ji Ling persuaded Yuan Shu hard, but Yuan Shu was also hesitant, but he really couldn't swallow this breath.

The people who were regarded as his subordinates and minions rebelled and were defeated by him, and the arrogant Yuan Shu really couldn't swallow this breath.

He wants to win, he wants to win.

He couldn't do it, but he couldn't admit that he really couldn't.

He was annoyed, he was angry, and he hated Guo Peng.

Yuan Shu did not force Lu Mian and Ji Ling to attack.

After all, he also knew that Guo Peng's advantage was too great.

Not to mention anything else, today is the last day of the second year of Xingping, Guo Peng has stopped attacking the city since yesterday, and led the troops to prepare for the New Year.

So early in the morning, the aroma wafted along the wind to Shouchun City.

Damn Guo Peng surrounded Shouchun City on all sides, no matter where the wind blew, the charming aroma always permeated Shouchun City, making the hungry soldiers and hungry and cold people swallow their saliva and be full of yearning.

There's the smell of wheat, there's the smell of meat, and there's the smell of oil.

That incense can completely cover the bloody gas on the battlefield, the nose is full of that kind of incense, and when you take a breath, it is full of fragrance.

The thick aroma stimulated the senses of each soldier, and the mouth reacted immediately, secreting a large amount of saliva, making them swallow and swallow, constantly fantasizing about the sumptuous food placed in front of them, waiting for them to feast.

Lu Mian and Ji Ling both knew that the food in Shouchun City was not abundant, and it was mainly to be supplied to the people and officials in the palace.

The big-headed soldiers can only eat very simple thick vegetable porridge, and they can't eat enough, but they will cheat their stomachs, so that they will not starve to death and make trouble.

The people are even more miserable, they can only eat the leftovers of the big-headed soldiers, and they are hungry and full, and sometimes they can't eat a mouthful of porridge all day, and they can't complain.

If you complain about making trouble, you will be beaten, and if you resist a little, you will be killed directly.

Listlessness, soreness in the limbs, weakness in the hands and feet.

This is the feeling of almost all the defenders of the city.

In comparison, the soldiers of the Guo Army outside the city are fierce and fierce, they look very good at food, they don't look like they are hungry at all, they wield their knives and climb powerfully, and their combat effectiveness is indeed nothing to say.

Then every day you can smell the aroma of hot food coming from all directions, the unique aroma of food.

And since yesterday, it has been even more excessive, Guo Jun stopped attacking the city, changed the truce, and then it didn't take long for the strong smell of meat and oil to drift over with the wind, and it became even worse this morning.

The hungry and cold soldiers of the Chen army at the head of the city sniffed, smelled these smells, and with a look of surprise on their faces, they poked their heads out of the city wall, looking at the white steam rising from the Guo army's camp not far away, and then their faces were full of envy.

"Today is the last day of the second year of Xingping, right?"

"Guo Thief isn't going to eat meat for the holidays, right?"

"It's meaty, it's really meaty, I've smelled it."

"I've eaten it too! It smells so good! ”

"I want to eat meat too......"

"You? Let's go in the next life! In the next life, if you cast a good baby into a rich family, you will be able to eat meat. ”

The soldiers at the head of the city sighed in twos and threes, some dreaming, others taunting.

"The last time I ate meat was a few years ago, and I really can't forget the taste, it's so fragrant, if only I could eat it again."

A young soldier sighed, smelled the aroma, and fell into a fond memory.

"I really want to eat meat, even if it's just a bite, just a bite."

Another young soldier leaned over him and dreamed with him.

"You are still honest, if you can have porridge to eat and not starve to death, then it is the best, and you still want to eat meat? The meat was eaten by the emperor and the generals, and people like us should be thankful that we didn't starve to death. ”

A white-haired veteran leans under the battlements of the city wall to teach two young men life lessons.

"Then why can the soldiers on the Guo thief's side eat meat?"

"That's right, it's so fragrant, I feel like I've done a lot, it can't all be eaten by Guo Thief and those generals, right? Can you finish it? ”

Faced with such a question from the two young men, the veteran hesitated.

"It's probably a New Year's celebration, so give everyone a try, right? Taste the taste, cheat your stomach, and really want to eat to your heart's content? ”

"It's okay to taste a little......"

"That's right, it's okay to cheat your stomach, why can't we eat it?"

The faces of the two young men were full of yearning.

The veteran shook his head helplessly, touched his shriveled stomach, swallowed his saliva, and took a deep breath.

It smells so good.

When will we be able to eat all-you-can-eat meat?

Li Shu, who was ordinary and simple and had no status, began to fantasize about a happy life where he could also eat meat and eat his fill.

That must be the happiest thing, right?

The so-called emperor Lao'er is probably a person who can eat all-you-can-eat meat, right?

I don't have to do anything from morning to night, just eat meat and drink wine, and then watch people dance, and eat meat in large bites.

It's good to be an emperor.

For them, this is indeed the happiest thing.

And for Guo Peng's soldiers, it is also a very happy thing.

The fragrant flatbread, the fragrant bone broth, the fragrant fried dumplings, and the fragrant everything really make them feel happy from the bottom of their hearts.

And on this day, Chen Jun in the city seemed to know that he shouldn't do anything, so he didn't come out to disturb their celebration, so when the sun set, the time for the joyful festival came.

Guo Peng gave an order, and the drums of celebration began to sound from the commander's camp, and then the various military camps sounded one after another, surrounding the entire Shouchun City, and the drums in the military camp sounded one after another, so frightened that the Chen army in the city thought that Guo Peng led the army to attack.

Yuan Shu, who was preparing for the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet belonging to him and his courtiers, was also taken aback, and quickly sent someone to ask, and the person who came reported that Guo Peng had not sent troops.

The sound of the drums seems to be just a signal to announce the start of the festivities.

As the signal was transmitted, the last rays of the sun could not be seen, and night officially came, and the soldiers standing at the gates of the various barracks lit the prepared bamboos one after another, listening to the crackling sound of the bamboos.

At this time, there are no fireworks, and people are accustomed to lighting fires with bamboo, listening to the sound of bamboo burning, calling it firecrackers, believing that it can dispel evil spirits, dispel illness, and usher in happiness.

The crackling sound rang out, bonfires rose in the barracks, the drums sounded again, Guo Peng officially appeared in the commander's barracks, and all the generals and officials under his command who accompanied the expedition gathered together, raised their wine glasses, and cleared their throats.

"Although today is on the battlefield, there should be celebrations and joys, and there should be no less! Let's celebrate well, let go of the celebration, give him Yuan Highway to see, my Wang Shi, invincible, invincible! Ladies and gentlemen! Fill this cup! Dry! ”

Guo Peng took the lead in drinking the wine in the cup.

"!"

All the generals and strategists shouted in unison, and then drank the cup together.

Everyone laughed.

The drums beat again, and the New Year's dinner officially began.
