Hunger, hunger, unbearable hunger, the fourth day after being heavily surrounded, the Dong coalition army only felt this way. Each of the soldiers of the coalition wore their belts tightly to resist the unbearable hunger. The food had long been eaten, the horses had been killed to cook, and the beasts around them could not even see a single hair, and every soldier was wondering, why didn't the lord surrender yet?

It's not that Yuan Shao and the princes don't want to surrender, but Dong Zhuo's conditions are too harsh - the allied forces of the princes of the Eighteenth Route laid down their arms and followed Dong Zhuo to Luoyang to ask the emperor for their guilt! Asking the emperor for guilt? To put it nicely, in the hands of that killer demon king, whether he can see tomorrow's sun is still one thing, let alone whether he can make it to Luoyang alive.

The other princes were better, they more or less hid some food for themselves and their own soldiers, and once they had the opportunity, they had the strength to escape, but Yuan Shao did not keep it for himself and gave all the food to the soldiers. Originally, Yuan Shao had the opportunity to keep food for himself, but as a concubine, Yuan Shao has suffered from the eyes of his younger brother Yuan Shu, the sister-in-law, and the discrimination of the family for many years. Yuan Shaoqiang endured hunger, "Pass the order, there are those who surrender out of the camp, behead!" ”

Kang Peng stood in front of Dong Zhuojun's camp, looking at the coalition camp in the distance, Kang Peng's heart was proud, in history, Dong Boss was beaten by the princes of the Eighteenth Road in the battle of Tiger Pass, and was forced to move the capital to Chang'an, but died in the hands of his godson. But as soon as he took over, the battle situation was completely reversed, subduing Zhao Yun, the first bodyguard of the Three Kingdoms, promoting Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, an emperor and a king bowed down to themselves, and the princes of the Eighteen Roads were beaten by themselves, and now it is just a matter of killing them. Oh, how great I am!

"Prime Minister, the envoy who went to persuade him to surrender has returned." Li Ru walked over with a smile and saluted first, "The princes are willing to surrender, but they do not agree to enter Beijing, and they are only willing to be like Cao Cao and Liu Bei, recognize the emperor's throne and the auxiliary status of the prime minister, and accept the appointment of the imperial court." ”

Kang Peng had expected that they would be like this, and he would go to Luoyang with him, with Boss Dong's past reputation, the idiot also knew that Boss Dong's idea was fighting, and it would be strange to enter Beijing with him. But what Kang Peng wants is this effect, as long as he doesn't let go of the encirclement, the princes can only wait to starve to death, and then he can tell the people of the world that it is not that he is cruel, but that the princes ignore the emperor and do not want to see the holy face and ask for themselves.

Kang Peng smiled and said, "Since they don't know how to lift, let them starve to death." Spread the news brought by the envoy to the whole army, and send a message to all towns and places, so that everyone knows who these princes with the sign of benevolence and righteousness are. ”

Li Ru said with a smile: "The minister understands, so he will go and expose these hypocrites to the people of the world." ”

At lunchtime, Kang Peng ordered the whole army to be rewarded, so that the soldiers who had worked hard for several days could eat better, and Dong Zhuo's army suddenly cheered and thundered, and he was busy killing pigs and sheep. The coalition army is deserted here, not to mention that the soldiers have any big meat and big fish to eat, that is, the bark and grass roots have been eaten, and they all look at the direction where the smell of meat wafts from, and their eyes are about to burst into flames. The most annoying thing is that Dong Zhuojun eats well, but he moved the house to the front line, deliberately letting the coalition watch the cooking.

Behind the wooden fence of the coalition army's Dazhai, there were almost starved soldiers of the coalition army, desperately staring at the food held by Dong Zhuojun's soldiers, as if they could fill their stomachs after a few more glances.

"It's mutton, and the little guy is taking mutton." A coalition soldier whose saliva was already flowing out pointed to a Dong Zhuojun soldier and said.

"Nonsense, that's beef, look at the texture, how thick is the mutton? The big families in our village often eat beef, which is exactly the same as this kind of meat. Another coalition soldier retorted.

At first, the coalition soldier was unconvinced, "That's so good, like you've eaten beef, have you ever eaten it?" ”

"Why haven't you eaten it?" The other coalition soldier said proudly: "There was a time when the young master of the Huada family was tired of eating beef, and he poured the bowl on the ground, so I picked it up and ate it." The other coalition soldier clicked his lips, as if reminiscing about how he felt at the time, "It's so fragrant." ”

At first, the coalition soldier didn't refute, and said enviously: "You're so lucky, I haven't eaten it once." ”

At this time, a military team rushed over, raised the horsewhip and whipped it indiscriminately, "Look at what? Go back, all of you, and kill your heads when you look at them again! "These court-martials are all made up of the princes' own soldiers, and they have food to eat.

The beaten coalition soldiers cursed in their hearts and walked into the barracks, but they didn't dare to show their resentment, they had already beheaded many people this morning, the reason was just that those people wanted to sneak out and surrender last night, and they didn't want to be killed. And they are all hungry and weak, how are they the opponents of these well-fed and well-fed military teams.

At this moment, a team of Dong Zhuojun suddenly waved a white flag, carrying a few pots of beef and mutton, pot helmets, flatbread and the like to the gate of the coalition camp, and the officer led shouted: "Soldiers of the coalition army, are you hungry?" The prime minister and his old man took pity on you and asked us to carry forward humanitarianism and send you some food. The prime minister said, he will not force you to surrender, but you can take it and eat it, and return to your camp after eating, and you don't have to think about whether to surrender to us or not. ”

Those coalition troops were about to come out hungry, and when they heard that there was such a good thing, they didn't care if it was true or not, and frantically flocked to the walled gate. The military law team hurriedly blocked the village, the horse whip was whipped and beaten, and the military law captain shouted: "Whoever dares to go out of the camp will be killed!" Give me all back! He pulled out his broadsword and slashed several coalition soldiers who rushed forward in succession, finally forcing the coalition soldiers down.

The officer led by Dong Zhuojun was furious and yelled at the captain of the coalition army: "Stop! ”

The captain of the military law turned around and said viciously: "My lord thanks Dong Thief for his kindness, but we don't accept it. Hurry up, or we'll let loose the arrows. ”

The officer led by Dong Zhuojun said coldly: "Boy, I, Xu Rong, remember your appearance, what is your name?" ”

The Judge Advocate Advocate said, "What are you asking my name for?" ”

Xu Rong sneered, "It's convenient to ask your name when you kill your whole family." But it doesn't matter if you don't say it, someone will know anyway. Xu Rong pointed to the coalition soldiers and said: "If you don't let them come over to get food, I'll ask them your name, if you still have a chicken and a dog in your family to survive at that time, count me Xu Rong as not planting!" And you, Lao Tzu won't let you wail for ten days and ten nights and then die, Lao Tzu is not surnamed Xu! Xu Rong said this, and Dong Zhuojun behind him smiled evilly, and couldn't help but look at the military law captain.

The captain of the military law is already trembling, Dong Zhuojun can't do anything else, killing the whole family is a housekeeping skill, and it is said that Dong Zhuojun has one hundred and eight ways to kill people, one is more terrifying than the other, and one is more miserable than the other, he doesn't have the courage to try. The captain of the military law was frightened in his heart, and he spoke in a low voice, "General, the little one is really a military life, please forgive the general." ”

"That's good, I won't let them be embarrassed, don't let them go out of the village, let them come to the gate of the village to get it."

The captain of the military law was still hesitating, Xu Rong glared, and he hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, just listen to the general." ”

Xu Rong ordered the soldiers to put the food at the gate of the coalition village, and without speaking, they turned around and left. Behind him, there were countless sounds of noise and snatching, as well as the noise of fighting.

Xu Rong returned to his camp and reported the situation to Kang Peng, and Lu Bu, who was beside Kang Peng, said dissatisfiedly: "Father-in-law, the child doesn't understand, these rebels are in turmoil and deserve to starve to death, why does the father-in-law still send them food?" ”

Kang Peng smiled and said: "Fengxian my son, you said that the food sent by the father is enough for those rebellious troops to eat?" ”

Lu Bu replied honestly: "Of course it's not enough, it's not enough to eat so much to stuff the teeth of hundreds of thousands of people." ”

"Since you don't have enough to eat, what would you do if you were hungry for a few days and saw something delicious?"

Lu Bu didn't even think about it, and blurted out, "Rob!" Rob it, of course! Lu Bu said this, secretly looked at Kang Peng's face, and added, "Grab it and honor your father-in-law." ”

Kang Peng shook his fingers as thick as a rolling pin proudly, "Although our army has the initiative, if we want to completely eliminate the chaotic army, we will inevitably suffer huge losses. Send a little food now, at least let them kill a thousand people. ”

Lu Bu laughed, "High! It's still a clever father-in-law, and it's much more enjoyable to see them kill each other than to kill them ourselves. Father-in-law, let the children deliver food tonight, and the children should take a good look at how they kill each other. ”

Kang Peng nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, you go." After the persuasion of Jia Xu and Li Ru in the past few days, Kang Peng has slightly changed his attitude towards Lu Bu, and it is better to use this first military general of the Three Kingdoms than to kill him. And Lu Bu's nature is not too bad, he is short-tempered and impulsive, and his penchant for killing is his fatal shortcoming, but if he can teach it well, he is not without the possibility of correction.

Kang Peng instructed again, "Feng Xian, my son, for my father, it is estimated that someone will surrender when you go tonight, bring them back safely." ”

"Yes, children also want to taste what it is like to be a good person."

As Kang Peng expected, those food caused an uproar in the coalition camp, one by one, you fought for it, wantonly robbed, some people grabbed it, and more people didn't grab it. Someone pulled out a knife and slashed the person who grabbed it, snatched the food back from the hands of the dead man, and then he was cut down again, and the food was snatched away again, and suddenly, there was a great chaos in the coalition army.

The soldiers were infighting, and of course the princes had to take care of it, and they each sent their own soldiers to strictly enforce the law, and after killing a lot of their own people, they finally brutally suppressed this internal strife. However, in view of the fact that the princes had not seen the meat for many days, several of the princes confiscated the beef and mutton and brought them back to soothe their abused stomachs. Of course, the behavior of the princes in pretending to be public and selfish aroused the dissatisfaction of the broad masses of the people, but what was the use of being dissatisfied, should they let them kill their lords? It's not just that you can only bury your dissatisfaction in the bottom of your heart.

When it was time for dinner, there were more coalition soldiers standing behind the wooden fence of the coalition army's Dazhai, and I hoped from the bottom of my heart that Prime Minister Dong Cheng would show mercy again and send some more food. Many people are already thinking, why is the demon king Dong Zhuo far less terrifying than the legend, compared with his own lord, his lord looks worse than the demon king Dong Zhuo? At the same time, the rumor that the demon king Dong Zhuo would not kill the prisoners and also gave him dry food for the passage money and put him home was also quietly circulating among the coalition soldiers.

The coalition soldiers did not wait in vain, it was still a team of Dong Zhuojun soldiers who came over carrying food, but the person who led the team changed, and the person who came rode a fiery red high-headed horse, which was the god of death on the battlefield - Lu Bu. Seeing that it was Lu Bu who personally led the team, the military law team that blocked the coalition soldiers from leaving the village at the gate of Dazhai panicked, and they involuntarily retreated one by one, subconsciously wanting to stay away from Lu Bu.

Lu Bu walked to the gate of the coalition army with a big horse, Fang Tian swept the halberd, and the gate composed of dozens of thigh-thick wooden fences was swept to pieces, "Brothers, come to get food, my father-in-law took pity on you." The father-in-law said that this is his humanitarianism. ”

Contrary to Lu Bu's expectations, the coalition forces did not fight for each other, but obediently lined up and lined up to receive food, and those who did not have their turn did not dare to say anything, let alone fight in front of Lu Bu. Lu Bu didn't know that the coalition soldiers were all frightened by themselves, but he felt that he couldn't come in vain this time, and it was difficult to explain to his father-in-law when he went back. Lu Bu's not very useful head occasionally had an idea, "Listen, the people who surrender to me Lu Bu can also be my soldier if they want to go home, and they will be given dry food for the passage if they want to go home, and they will not kill your head." Is anyone willing to surrender? ”

Coalition soldiers, look at me, I look at you, and suddenly countless people shouted, "Yes, we are willing to surrender to the prime minister." More people poured out of the camp and knelt beside Lu Bu.

Lu Bu laughed happily, he could be regarded as comparing Xu Rong to Xu Rong this time. "Very good, those who are willing to surrender will go with Ben Wenhou." Fang Tianhua waved his halberd, Dong Zhuojun turned around and left, and many soldiers who were willing to surrender to the coalition army threw down their weapons and followed behind Dong Zhuojun.

"Slow!" Someone suddenly shouted in Dazhai, the coalition army: "Wen Hou, you don't keep your promises. ”

Lu Bu was furious, and when he looked back, it was Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian. Lu Bu yelled: "Tao Qian, is there any dishonesty in Ben Wenhou? ”

Tao Qian was a stubborn old man, and he argued with Lu Bu: "When General Xu Rong came at noon today, he said that he would only send food to the soldiers and not ask them to surrender, but what are you doing now, Wenhou?" ”

Before Tao Qian's words fell, Lu Bu slapped the red rabbit horse, and instantly rushed to Tao Qian, Fang Tian's halberd was hit on the head, poor Tao Qian's white head, and he was beaten on the spot, and he was killed. "Those words were said by Xu Rong, and I, Lu Bu, didn't say that I would not accept surrender." Lu Bu said coldly.

Lu Bu looked around, and the allied military law team was holding their heads and running around, no longer daring to stop the soldiers from surrendering. In this way, Lu Bu brought back 50,000 prisoners this time, which was very proud of Lu Bu. As for the coalition side, the princes immediately ordered the gate to be closed tightly, and the soldiers were no longer allowed to accept Dong Zhuo's humanitarianism.
