Two hours later, these natives had gained a lot, and they were about to rush back to the city, when suddenly a group of Cao soldiers came from all directions, and a gun with a cold light was dazzling even under the cover of night. The villagers were so frightened that they fled in a hurry, but the figures of Cao Jun were all over the mountains, and soon these villagers were caught and tied up by Cao Bing, and escorted back to Cao Cao's camp to see Cao Cao.

When Cao Bing escorted the local people to Cao's camp, it was already dawn when the night was early. When Cao Cao heard the report from the soldiers, his face was overjoyed, and he hurried to see the captured natives. These few natives were very tough, and they all had a straight face, putting on an attitude of wanting to kill and take care of it.

Cao Cao was not angry because of this, but ordered the soldiers to bring dry food and give it to these people. Those few natives originally had a little backbone and wanted to open their mouths to reject Cao Cao. But when they saw the pieces of dry cakes, the blood veins in their bodies suddenly erupted, and their brains exploded, as if they had lost their minds, they threw themselves at the dry cakes in Cao Bing's hands, picked them up and stuffed them into their mouths. may be the reason for eating too fast, a native was almost choked to death, but fortunately, a Cao soldier brought water to him in time to swallow, so that a ridiculous tragedy was avoided. Soon, these local people ate all the dry cakes given by Cao Bing, but their hunger was not only not cleared, but even more violent, they looked at Cao Cao deadly, their eyes were extremely complicated, pleading and urgent, and there was some threat in it, as if if Cao Cao did not give them dry food, they would rush over and fight with Cao Cao.

Cao Cao squinted his eyes and suddenly smiled.

"Hehe, do you still want it?"

A few natives nodded their heads quickly like chickens pecking rice.

"Courtesy is still exchanged. This prime minister can let a few of you eat well, but on the contrary, you have to do something for this prime minister in return. ”

As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, the faces of those villagers suddenly changed greatly, and they immediately shook their heads, and one of them even said.

"Liu Xuzhou is incomparably benevolent and righteous, how can we turn our backs on him for some food! If you want to kill or chop, even if you invite it, if I frown, I am not a hero! ”

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed again, almost narrowing into a slit, and said with a smile.

"Hehe, rest assured. I'm not going to kill you. Come, drive them out of the camp! ”

Cao Cao waved his hand, and suddenly gave an order, and the faces of those villagers changed again, as if they didn't expect Cao Cao to let them go. Soon, several local people ran out of Cao's camp under the push of Cao's guns. Seeing that Cao Bing really didn't come to chase after them, those villagers hurriedly fled down the mountain. However, when they were about to escape, these villagers couldn't help but glance at Cao Ying, as if there was something in it that made them reluctant to give up.

These few natives who escaped death secretly sneaked under Longquan City, and a few natives who were the inner responders received a signal to open the city gate a little and let them enter the city.

"How? You wait all night and don't return, but do you have a reward? ”

These natives had originally planned that one would go out to forage for food, and some would stay in the city to watch the wind, waiting for the return of those who had gone out to forage for food, and then they would be responsible for opening the gates for those who returned.

"Hey! Bad luck, don't say it, we almost died! ”

"Ahh Are you waiting to be discovered by Cao Bing! ”

"Shhhh Silence, this is not the place to speak. Wait and come with me. ”

One of the natives pointed to a nearby clearing and led seven or eight natives to an open space.

"It's weird, too. Several of our brothers were indeed discovered by Cao Bing last night, and they were also captured. However, after we were escorted to Cao Ying, we saw Cao Cao, the prime minister of the Han nationality, not only did he not add to us, but gave us a few brothers dry food to eat, and then he wanted our brothers to do things for him, but Liu Xuzhou is so benevolent and righteous, how can we betray. When Cao Cao saw that I refused, he was not angry, and even let us brothers go. ”

As soon as the native man said that, a man who was born honest and honest suddenly changed his face in shock, and hurriedly grabbed the man who was talking with one hand, and wanted to pick it out of his mouth with his hand.

"Hey! You are crazy! ”

"Fool! Don't avoid it, I'm here to save you. Aren't you afraid that Cao Cao will poison your dry food! ”

"You're a fool! What a character Cao Cao is, how could he use these indiscriminate tricks on us little people. What's more, if Cao Cao wants to kill us, just let a few soldiers take action, so why bother to poison us! ”

"Ugh. You're right. But our relationship with Cao Cao is obviously hostile, why did he not only not kill you, but gave you food. It's really puzzling. ”

"Cao Cao can be the face of the Han people, and his thoughts can not be guessed by us civilians. Anyway, that's the end of the matter, don't mention it again. Otherwise, if others know about it and report to the elders of the clan, even if Liu Xuzhou does not punish us heavily, the elders of the clan will not easily bypass us! ”

The seven or eight natives had been deliberating in the shadows for a while, and then they dispersed.

As the days passed, hunger and thirst were like ten thousand ants devouring every people and soldiers in Longquan County, and more and more people died of hunger and thirst, especially those newborn dolls, who had died nearly dozens of times in a few days. In Longquan County, from time to time, there will be a poignant, heart-rending cry.

One day, the two local men couldn't stand it, the wives kowtowed and cried, they all had newborn babies in their families, and if they didn't eat again, they would watch their babies starve to death.

These two local men were two of the people who were captured by the Cao army, and they summoned their former accomplices to discuss, wanting to go to Cao Ying to ask for food, and at this moment, in order to save their lives for their own children, they no longer care whether this move could be done, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will also catch it.

At night, the two local men sneaked out of the city again and rushed all the way to Cao Ying. Soon, the two native men were caught by the patrolling Cao soldiers and brought them to Cao Cao again. This time, Cao Cao concocted it again, first gave him dry food, the two local men picked up the dry cake, was about to eat a big mouthful, suddenly remembered the baby at home, quickly stopped his mouth, and then stuffed the dry cake into his arms, wanting to put away the dry cake.

"Hey. This dry cake was given to you and the other two by the prime minister, why don't you eat it? ”

"Prime Minister forgive sins! The villain is waiting for the baby at home, and he has been hungry for several days, and there is no food to import, so he is afraid that he will not live for a few days! I also hope that the prime minister will give a few more dry cakes to the villain. There are still many babies in the city, and they are all starving to death! ”

Cao Cao groaned, looked at the two local men silently, and said with a little regret.

"If you continue like this, in three days most of the people will starve to death in the city, and in five days there will be no living people left in the city. Could it be that at this time, you still have to be obsessed and help the big-eared thief stick to Longquan! ”

"Liu Xuzhou Renyi !!"

"Bullshit!! If Liu Da'er understands the word benevolence and righteousness, he should open the city gate and surrender voluntarily! Instead of making you wait to be buried with him!! He can't even save the lives of your people, so how can he talk about benevolence!! ”

Before he could speak half of the native words, he was blocked back by Cao Cao's huge drink. Cao Cao's words seemed to have magic in every word, making the two natives almost unable to maintain their hearts.

"But..."

"But what!? This prime minister might as well tell you that the grain in my camp is enough to last for another three months, and there is only one way for you to wait to defend Longquan! At this point, I will allow you to take these pieces of dry food back. But this is the last time, if you dare to come and ask for food again, don't blame Prime Minister Ben for being ruthless! ”

"Ah~! Prime Minister Cao Cheng is magnanimous, the villain is waiting to kowtow to you! ”

Cao Cao suddenly grabbed a few pieces of dry biscuits in one hand and threw them at the two villagers. The two natives hurriedly caught it, both with excited expressions, and later kowtowed heavily to Cao Cao.

But Cao Cao was laughing coldly.

"Hmph. With these few pieces of dry food alone, how long can you last? One day? Two days? Or a month? Prime Minister Ben is just pitiful, those babies, not long after they came to this world, lost their lives because of the ignorance of their parents! ”

Cao Cao's cold words suddenly sounded, and the moral defense line in the hearts of these two natives was suddenly broken. As Cao Cao said, these dry cakes can be eaten by the children in the city for a day at most, and it won't be long before the babies will starve to death.

Tiger poison does not eat children, let alone people. The eyes of the two natives were dull for a while, and they both had an impulsive thought in their hearts.

Cao Cao saw it in his eyes, he attacked his heart again and again, and what he was waiting for was this opportunity. But Cao Cao was not in a hurry, but waited quietly.

After half a pillar of incense, the two natives seemed to have made a decision and bowed heavily to Cao Cao. Cao Cao immediately smiled, and immediately ordered the soldiers to bring a pile of dry food and put it in front of the two natives.

At the same time, in Longquan City, Liu Bei was so hungry that he couldn't sleep, and he was pacing in the backyard of the house, when suddenly Liu Bei's heart tugged, he stopped his pace, and a slight sense of foreboding paused in his heart.

"Oh my God!! Why do you want to torture me Liu Xuande so much!! I have royal blood, but I can't admit it to the world, and the forces that I have worked hard for many years have been lost!! So far, I have been forced to such a miserable point by that Cao Mengde, can't the sky really tolerate me!!! ”

Liu Bei was tortured by hunger and thirst for many days, his body was as thin as dry firewood, and his face was pale and bloodless, like a dried corpse. He looked up at Haoyue, his face was hideous and terrifying, and he roared in his heart!

Three watches at night, at the north gate of Longquan. The two natives who had returned from Cao Ying signaled, and soon the north gate slowly opened, and before the people inside the gate could speak, the two natives pushed a large bag wrapped in dry food into the crack of the door. The people inside the door didn't know what it was, and they didn't have time to pick it up for a while, and suddenly hundreds of dry cakes in the baggage fell to the ground one after another.

It was like a hungry wolf dying of hunger, and suddenly he saw a piece of flesh with a lot of blood, and immediately the natives in the door rushed madly towards the dry cakes on the ground as if they were crazy.

The two natives took the opportunity to push one of the gates of the city, and opened a huge crack in the gate with all their might. And the natives who were grabbing the dry cakes had the heart to take care of the city gates, and take the dry cakes from the ground and stuff them into their mouths. However, the loud sound of the city gate moving woke up many of the natives guarding the city. When the natives were awakened, they shouted and ran towards the city gates.

At this moment, a group of cavalry outside the north gate rushed towards the gap in the city gate under the leadership of Cao Chun.

This cavalry army is Cao Cao's ace elite soldiers, tiger and leopard cavalry. I saw that each tiger and leopard rider was holding a rolling burden in his hand, and Cao Chun was the first to rush into the city gate, and some of the local people who arrived were about to raise their guns to stop them, but Cao Chun threw the burden in his hand into the air, and suddenly countless dry cakes fell from the air.

For the people of Longquan, at this moment, these dry cakes are like a fatal temptation, and as soon as these dry cakes appear, their hunger immediately takes over all their thoughts, and they frantically rush towards the dry cakes that fall in the air. After that, every tiger and leopard rode in, following Cao Chun's example, throwing the burden full of dry cakes into the air, and bursts of dry cakes fell like raindrops, causing every native to fall into a madness of losing their minds.
