That night, Chen Laoshi went home with two catties of food.

The old lady and her daughter-in-law worked overnight, grinded the grain, made a few bowls of gnocchi soup with noodles, and steamed a few steamed buns with bran.

The two boys in the family gathered around the steamer, staring intently at the steaming steamer, and their tongues kept licking their lips.

Since being requisitioned by the Qi army, the family has not had a full meal for a few days.

The bran dumplings were steamed, Chen Laoshi took one, gnawed it carefully, and listened to the gossip between his daughter-in-law and the old lady.

"There was an accident in the Chen San family in the west of the village, Chen San died on the river, and the government did not give an explanation, Chen San's wife led the family to sue, but she didn't think that the officials would defend each other, and the old woman was directly killed at the yamen."

Chen was stunned for a moment, and the bran dumplings were all thrown on the ground.

When Chen San died, he was in front of him, and Chen San, who was not breathing at the time, also entrusted himself with the orphan, which should be regarded as a orphan, and it is said in the drama that the family is entrusted to the orphan.

But he can't even take care of his own house, so where can he get food to take care of Chen San's family.

Chen San's mother died, and the remaining Chen San's daughter-in-law and three boys and two girls should live.

"Mother"

Chen honestly said tentatively: "The Chen family is bitter enough, our family's grain?" ”

The old lady raised her eyebrows, "What, you still want to be a good person, you can't take care of your own family, and you still want to take care of Chen San's family, it's really a brain in water."

is still a daughter-in-law soft-hearted: "Mother, give Chen San's family some, today I passed by Chen San's house, his mother's body is still parked in the courtyard, and several children are hungry and yellow-skinned, like dry firewood sticks." ”

The old lady shouted: "Okay, okay, you are a good person, I am a wicked person, you go and give it, Ming'er you can't get back the food, your wife and your daughter-in-law and son will also be starved to death." ”

Although she said this, after dinner, and waiting for the night to fall, the old lady still wrapped two handfuls of flour in a cloth and went to Chen San's house.

Chen Laoshi also followed, thinking that since Chen San had entrusted himself to be lonely, he would have to do his best.

In the dark night, Chen San's house was dark, because there was no man, there was no firewood, the brazier could not be burned, and the home was deserted.

The old lady's voice sounded in the courtyard.

"Third daughter-in-law Chen, why can't you even afford a brazier, what can you do if the child is frozen?"

Footsteps sounded in the house, and Chen's third daughter-in-law staggered out, her voice weak.

"Auntie, even firewood is running out at home, and now there are soldiers everywhere, and slaves dare not go out to collect firewood, if these firewood are used, they can't even burn water."

The old lady sighed and scolded: "God's damn government." ”

Saying that, the old lady walked over to Chen's third daughter-in-law and put the cloth bag in Chen's third daughter-in-law's hand: "Take it, make some noodle soup, at least you can continue your life." ”

Chen's third daughter-in-law felt something in her hand and knelt down immediately.

"Auntie, your great kindness."

"Quenching"

The old lady scolded: "You little girl, what kind of great kindness, the left and right are just one or two sides, it's okay." ”

Saying this, the old lady didn't stay, went out of the yard, saw Chen Laoshi, and snorted in her nostrils.

"What, even your mother can't rest assured."

Chen honestly rubbed his hair, and said with a smile: "How can it, Chen San and I have been orphaned, I can't watch his daughter-in-law and son starve to death." ”

"I'm going to fetch some firewood"

The old lady grabbed Chen Laoshi: "Stupid you, you can't eat well after holding the boat for a day during the day, and you still want to collect firewood, what to do if you are tired." ”

"Don't worry about it, I'll go fetch firewood tomorrow, I'm an old woman, Qi people will definitely not look down on it, I'll just go."

Chen Laoshi laughed when he heard this: "That's okay, mother, you have to be careful." ”

The next day, before dawn, Chen Laoshi went to work.

There is no way, Qi people have issued a death order, and if they don't arrive before dawn, they will be beheaded, and Chen Laoshi is the one who left a note in Lizheng, and he can't escape.

When the boat arrived at the north shore and handed over the weapons, Chen honestly steered the boat to the south, and the two dogs next to him asked.

"Honest brother, let's make a big one today?"

Chen Laoshi was stunned when he heard this, but in a blink of an eye, he thought of his children's yellow and thin faces, and his daughter-in-law and mother couldn't even eat bran dumplings, and suddenly the whole person became sad.

An old man can't even support a family, and he's afraid of wool.

"Done"

Chen Laoshi sighed into the palm of his hand and said with his hands in a hurry.

Everyone has the experience of the last time, and this time they all know it.

After loading the boat on the south bank and traveling to the middle of the Qingjiang River, where the north and south could not be seen clearly, Chen Laoshi supported the boat and covered several boats with Qi troops on the left.

After some manipulation, under the reprimand of Qi Jun, the ship dispersed.

Ergou made a reassuring gesture to Chen Laoshi, Chen Laoshi saw it in his eyes, and let out a sigh of relief, this time it was again.

In this way, in the days of transporting the ordnance of the Qi army, Chen Laoshi relied on privately storing grain and grass, and there were no dead people in the family of a group of fishermen who volunteered to transport ordnance.

In the village on the left, there are people starving to death all the time, or their heads are cut off by the Qi army who requisitioned food and grass.

The life of Qi people is becoming more and more difficult.

……

In the tent of the Chinese army, Su Lu was eating boiled sweet potatoes while looking at the defense map.

There is no shortage of food in the army, sweet potatoes are openly supplied, and as long as the sergeants want to eat, they can go to the leader army to get it.

The sound of footsteps sounded outside the tent, and the lieutenant of the Chinese military academy checked the official credentials of the person who came, and let the person in.

"Lord Wang, the last general will come to ask for guilt."

The sound of kneeling on the ground made Su Lu look up in astonishment, and he retracted his gaze to study the defense map.

Looking at Li Lu who was kneeling on the ground, Su Lu was stunned for a moment.

"Aren't you guarding in Wuyuan Town, how did you come here, what crime should the general be guilty of leaving the station privately?"

Li Lu knelt on the ground without raising his head.

"The prince, the last general, the last general lost the five plains."

Su Lu stood up in a hurry, looked at Li Lu in shock, and pulled out the defense map.

"Your army is here, I either ordered you to scatter all the scouts, or to prevent them from being attacked by barbarians."

Li Lu's voice was full of decadence and helplessness.

"Lord Wang, not a barbarian?"

Not a barbarian?

Su Lu glanced at Li Lu in amazement, it is not a barbarian, it is possible that it will be the Qin army, in order to survive, the Qin army captured Wuyuan, in order to reject the barbarians, it is not a mistake.

"How many Qin troops are there, and who led them?"

Su Lu asked.

"It's not Qin Jun."

Li Lu said depressedly, his face ugly. I'm so stupid and useless, I can't even keep the five plains.

Su Lu looked at Li Lu in confusion: "It's not the Qin army, it's not the barbarians, will it still be the Tang army?" ”

Li Lu nodded: "What the prince said is right, it is Tang Jun." ”

Su Lu looked at Li Lu in amazement, it turned out to be really Tang Jun?

Since the last time he subdued Xie Ruyu, Tang has not made a side provocation again, so why did he suddenly set off a side provocation now.

"Commander, the Qi people have attacked."

Ma Ping's land battle strode into the Chinese military tent and reported it.

Su Lu glanced at Li Lu: "You take someone down first, rest for a while, and wait for everyone to discuss the rest of the matter." ”

"How many troops did the Qi people dispatch this time, how many birds did they fly, and did they use ballistas and other equipment?"

Su Lu asked Ma Ping and told Lu Zhan.
